Innovation for cycle trail repair Judene Edgar Reporter

judene@waimeaweekly.co.nz Despite the recent storms, there is generally no better time to get out and about on your bicycle and enjoy the Great Taste Trail.

The boardwalks around the Waimea Estuary and parts of Mapua foreshore and Rabbit Island were damaged by Cyclone Fehi on February 1, resulting in detours being put in place.

However, landslides and flooding caused by Cyclone Gita on February 20 has resulted in the closure of the on-road section along the Motueka River between Riwaka and Tapawera.

Nelson Tasman Cycle Trails Trust manager Joshua Aldridge says that the trail still has a lot of offer and that people can still enjoy a ride to Rabbit Island or Mapua.

“While devastating, there is still lots to ride as well as detours in place,” he says.

“A lot of people are also taking the opportunity to explore Brightwater, Wakefield and Spooners Tunnel sections of the trail, as well as areas beyond Mapua.”

With repairs already well underway on some areas, Josh says that they are aiming to have most, if not all, of the damaged trail sections from Nelson to Mapua re-open by the end of March.

“We are very humbled by the support being shown by businesses, volunteers, Rotary clubs

Hair-raising experience Judene Edgar

Kay Thomson brushed her hair for the last time on Sunday morning before heading to Sundial Square where her boyfriend, Nick Terrell, greeted her with a pair of scissors.

Having thought about it for a number of years, a month ago Kay committed herself to taking part in Shave for

a Cure, the major annual fund-raiser for Leukaemia and Blood Cancer NZ. With what she thought was a fairly ambitious fundraising target of $1000, Kay is delighted to have raised over $1600 so far.

“We got about $900 on the day,” Kay says.

“A number of people came and shared their stories and donated on the day, which

was really cool.”

Trevor Gateley from Richmond donated towards the fund-raiser.

“As someone living with the blood/bone marrow cancer Multiple Myeloma, I wanted to say a big thank you to Kay Thomson along with the many others, who are shaving their heads in

While the short-term fixes are underway, Josh says that they’re also focusing on medium and long-term solutions, including looking at realignment options and alternative construction methodologies. The coastal sections and boardwalks have been particularly hard hit over the past few years, and Josh says that they will be keys areas of focus.

“We’re looking at trialing innovative materials as well as using different construction methods to, hopefully, eliminate the boardwalks from lifting during storms,” says Josh.

“It’s all about better understanding the wave action.”

However, Josh says that each section requires a different solution, so they won’t be rushing decisions. The Trust is applying to the Minis-

try of Business, Innovation and Employment for funding to help with the repairs, as well as talking to local contractors, businesses and community groups.

Hazardous seats

our low, flat fee is a fair fee

Judene Edgar A group of concerned residents has been calling on Tasman District Council to fix the “new” cantilevered seats in Sundial Square for six years, and finally their calls are being answered.

However, it is happening too late for a local resident who, three weeks later, is still in hospital with “a smashed ankle” and his leg broken in two places. Mobility4You and FAV Mobile Solutions owner Robin Jordan says that it’s the fourth scooter incident involving the seats that he’s aware of.

“To have had such serious injuries, it can’t just be a case of watching where they’re going,” Robin says.

Tasman District Council’s senior road engineer Steve Elkington says that he’s aware of the issues and that they’re going to be putting legs on both cantilevered corners of the seats.

Steve believes that the recent scooter incidents may be a combination of shading from a nearby tree as well as the dark colour of the seat.

“We will look to either having the new legs painted a bright colour or add reflective tape or similar to the ends of the seat.”

Richmond Stihl shop owners Grant and Jo Blanchet have picked up the award for outstanding marketing achievement at the national Stihl conference.

Held in Taupo earlier this month, around 220 dealers, shops and stockists from throughout the country attended the national conference.

“We were absolutely delighted to receive the award,” says Jo. As part of the Stihl family they are mystery shopped four times a year, both in person and over the telephone, to ensure that they maintain high standards. But having just received their fourth national award in the past five years, Jo and Grant are certainly stepping up to the mark.

In addition to their marketing and advertising, Grants says that the Good Sorts award, run in conjunction with the Waimea Weekly, was recognised as a great initiative.

Launched late last year, the Good Sorts award recognises often unsung community heroes, the people who “make our community tick”.

Grant says that it’s been wonderful to be able to acknowledge the contributions of everyday people who make a difference in our community.

“The Good Sorts award was seen as a positive contribution back to the community along with our support of various schools, sports clubs and

In addition to the Good Sorts award they also have a gazebo that they loan to schools and community groups for galas and fairs, run ladies’ workshops, and provide chainsaw maintenance training to Recognised Seasonal Employer workers.

“There are so many good people in the community doing good things, so we wanted to do something to recognise them,” says Grant.

“The community supports us, so we like to be able to support the community.”

People can nominate anyone from the Waimea Weekly’s distribution area for the award by emailing editorial@waime aweekly.co.nz.

The email needs to explain why the nominee deserves to be a Stihl Shop Richmond Good Sort and include contact details, so a story and photo of the monthly winner can be published in the Waimea Weekly.

Nelson Matters Trade policy is essential to Nelson. We export more per person than any region in New Zealand. Our export sectors earn $1200 million a year and employ over 15,000 people.

National in both government and opposition has consistently backed freer trade. We championed CER with Australia in the 1980s, Singapore in the 1990s, China in the 2000s, and in the last decade the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement or TPPA. The final deal was agreed to in Tokyo on 23 January but the detailed text only became public last week.

It gives us better trade access to ten countries around the Pacific. Total estimated gains to New Zealand are $2.5 billion per year. Benefits for Nelson include duty free access for kiwifruit to Japan and wine to Canada.

The TPPA has triggered over a dozen protests in Nelson, more than any issue since the 1981 Springbok tour. Labour candidate Rachel Boyack led the march up Trafalgar Street with a sign saying “TPPA – No way.”

Winston Peters described the deal as a “scam and sham”. They like Trump in America exploited a fear of foreigners to whip

up anger. The extraordinary part is that New Zealand First and Labour are now backing TPPA and voting for it in Parliament. The Greens to their credit are having none of this duplicity.

Labour and New Zealand First have attempted to justify their change in position saying the agreement has been revised.

The amendments total two pages out of 5,000. Changing the agreements name by adding the words “Comprehensive Progressive” TPPA is just window dressing. Nelson’s TPPA protestors will feel horribly duped by

the new government when they read Professor Jane Kelsey’s analysis of how little the TPPA has been altered. www.itsourfuture.org.nz Trade access matters hugely to New Zealand living standards.

We took a big hit in the 1970s when the UK joined the EU, limiting what we could export there. I am proud that National rose above traditional oppositional politics giving Helen Clark the parliamentary numbers to secure the China free trade agreement in 2008. Exports to China have grown six fold from $2 billion to $12 bil-

lion contributing to our recent prosperity. We do not want to be too dependent on China any more than the UK or the US. A key benefit of the TPPA is opening new markets and spreading our risks.

It is good news for Nelson that the TPPA is concluded. We are a small nation and we will never get prosperous selling goods to just each other. We should not fear the world. Kiwis can complete globally. Opening up new markets for our quality products is about securing more jobs and better incomes for the future.

Community steps up following Cyclone Gita Judene Edgar While a lot of the region felt relatively untouched by Cyclone Gita’s fury last week, areas in Riwaka, Motueka and Golden Bay experienced mudslides, power outages, blocked roads and severe flooding.

Cars and buildings were swept away and entire crops destroyed, as the ex-tropical cyclone swept across the region last Tuesday.

While the state of emergency was lifted on Friday, it is far from over.

Teams from Civil Defence, NZRT2 (urban search and rescue), Fire and Emergency NZ, Red Cross and council staff and contractors have spent the past week checking homes, evacuating residents, staffing civil defence centres and getting vital supplies to residents and visitors stranded in Golden Bay due to massive slips on Takaka Hill Rd (SH60).

With the clean-up and recovery well underway, the road is now opened to a single lane with escorted convoys in place twice a day.

Recovery manager Richard Kirby says, “if the weather deteriorates, the road may close again”.

Community members and groups from both sides of the hill have rallied to support people strand-

Beyond the Bridge Riwaka has been coordinating food deliveries and volunteer labour.

“It’s brilliant to see the communities pulling together. The level of community support in Riwaka, Marahau and Motueka is fantastic,” says Richard.

Richmond Rotary Club has also stepped up, supporting the Civil Defence personnel at the emer-

gency operations centre in Richmond with their mobile kitchen.

“It’s purpose-built, thanks to Barry Morley who drove the project,” says Rotarian Eddie Lammas.

“It’s self-contained and set up to enable us to respond and support quickly.”

The recently refurbished kitchen comes complete with cooktop, fridge and barbeque, as well as hard hats and hi-vis vests. While

they were able to drive the mobile kitchen on site last week, Eddie says that it is also able to be helicoptered to remote locations.

“It’s great to be able to support all the people on the ground working hard to help others,” he says.

“That’s what we’re all about – we’re a community service organisation.”

With no time to stop for lunchbreaks, around 30 people have

Active ageing takes to the region’s parks and gardens Judene Edgar Active ageing has never been easier with Age Concern providing a range of free activities across the region for seniors.

With support from Tasman District and Nelson City councils, Age Concern has put together an exciting programme of outdoor activities from walking and

bowls, to singing outdoors, tai chi and guided walks.

Community support coordinator Marrit Walstra-Russell says that the older body loves to move.

“Up until a couple of decades ago, older people were told to put their feet up and take a wellearned rest, research now shows that continuing to be active is good for the ageing body.”

Trialled for the first time last year, Marrit says that the programme was so successful that they decided to do it again.

“It’s keeping active for the seniors, being socially connected, and experiencing our lovely parks.”

With 19 events on offer in a variety of picturesque locations until the end of March, Marrit says that it’s a great opportunity to try

something new and meet some new people in the process.

And not having done something before doesn’t need to put people off. Professional instructors will be on-hand assisting with the tai chi, the Boathouse community choir are leading the sing-a-long events, and Department of Conservation guides have offered to help with some of the walks.

David Kemp was at the sing-along in Washbourn Gardens on Thursday and says that it’s a great communal activity and he’s keen to try the activities on offer.

“It’s good for the mental health,” he says. “I’m also going to do the edible garden walks.”

Coming up with new ideas Judene Edgar Reporter

judene@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Coming up with new ideas and new promotions is all in a day’s work for Richmond Unlimited’s coordinator Charlotte Bidlake.

As well as running the annual Santa Parade and Market Day, Richmond Unlimited organise competitions and promotions, and work with Tasman District Council to help make the CBD a vibrant and friendly area.

“It’s been a bit more challenging recently with the Queen St upgrade, but Richmond is such a wonderful place,” says Charlotte.

“Everything is so accessible and family-friendly, and it’s becoming increasingly pedestrianfriendly too.”

The upgrade is a major piece of work to upgrade ageing pipes and create an improved street environment, but Charlotte says that the end result will be a long-term fix that’s good for everyone. In the meantime, she says that it’s still business as usual in Richmond until the works are completed at the end

of May. “All of the shops are open and able to be accessed,” she says.

“We need people to continue supporting the local shops, eateries, and services during this time.”

To incentivise people to check out all that Richmond has to offer, Richmond Unlimited has a new promotion in the pipelines.

However, Charlotte wasn’t giving too much away.

“I’m really looking forward to launching our latest promotion next month,” she says.

“It’s about reminding people all of the great reasons to come here, but there are some amazing prizes on offer too.”

In addition to their latest promotion, Charlotte says that they’re partnering with the Nelson Tasman Business Trust again to offer workshops to support some of the local retailers who are affected by the roadworks.

You can also find out about the great range of shops and businesses in Richmond by going to the Richmond Unlimited website www.richmondunlimited. co.nz.

Pushing personal boundaries Amy Russ

For over 30 years Whenua Iti Outdoors has been challenging students and adults alike to push their personal boundaries, build self-esteem and test their resilience.

More than just an outdoor centre, Whenua Iti has developed a hugely successful partnership with Garin College.

“Garin College is a fantastic school that makes the very most of the outdoor learning opportunities that are so prevalent in our region,” general manager of Whenua Iti Mark Bruce-Miller says. “It is great to see such a commitment from the school to extending the learning and curriculum well beyond the school campus.” Together they have created the ‘journey’ programme.

Their annual school camp starts with a ‘basecamp’ in year 9 all the way through to a ‘summit’ camp in year 13. Each school camp builds on the previous, and each of the experiences are tailored to suit that particular year group.

The programme creates a chance for the students to develop new skills and try their hand at various activities from raft building, kayaking, high ropes and trapeze

From left, Garin students Clay Greenwood, Ethan Spears, Edward Russ, Jesse Sherlock, James Bascand and Michael (Minseok) Baek on their recent year 9 camp. Photo: Supplied. to learning about bi-culturalism and our relationship with the environment.

Whenua Iti tutor Charlie Martin

says “Garin are always a great school to work with and the students are always ready to take on a challenge, it’s awesome to

see them grow their confidence, knowledge and skills as they come back each year. It’s great for us as instructors to develop those

good relationships, too.”

“Following the successful camp our students are well prepared for the year ahead,” says Garin principal John Maguire, “having developed and built new friendships and relationships as a year level.”

Year 9 student Josephine Hill says the Marahau camp was awesome.

“There were so many different opportunities there to push your comfort zone.”

Whenua Iti outdoors provides a huge range of specially-designed educational programmes that appeal to all ages and abilities.

Programmes they have on offer span from tailored school camp programmes and adventure skills academy to cultural and corporate experiences.

With over 8000 participants a year attending their programmes, Whenua Iti can be a turning point for many of those who have passed through its doors. Providing a safe and nurturing environment, Whenua Iti becomes more of a journey of personal discovery and you leave with the knowledge that you have become a part of an ever-growing family.

Sharing the highs and lows Judene Edgar Ali Beasley’s book “Emilia’s Colours, The Gift of Autism” has struck the right chord, with her first print run selling out even before its official launch last week.

Sharing the highs and lows of parenting a child with autism, Ali says that she wanted to try to raise people’s awareness about autism and offer insights and hope for all readers.

The launch was held at the Richmond Library last Thursday to a packed house, filled with not only parents, but grandparents, teachers, social workers and friends of people with autism.

“It is interesting when in a room talking about your book which is about your child, who is also in the room,” says Ali. While Ali describes the book as “hopeful and positive”, she says that she didn’t want to sugar-coat the journey of autism.

Jill Hounsell, outreach coordinator for the Nelson Marlborough branch of Autism New Zealand attended the launch. Jill says that living with someone on the autism

spectrum can be stressful and challenging, and commended Ali for her bravery and courage in writing her story.

Just a thought...

David Jensen Pastor, Richmond Baptist Did you know that it was on the night before Jesus was crucified, during a Passover celebration, that He commanded His followers to “love one another”?

Now in order to make sure they really understood what He meant by this command to “love one another”, Jesus added “just as I have loved you - you are to love one another”.

So, we see followers of Jesus are called to love each other – in the same way that He loved/ loves us.

Now I want to, with the remainder of this column, look briefly at three aspects of His love.

Firstly, Jesus’ love was sacrificial.

In John 15:12-13 we read the words of Jesus.

“This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”

Notice here that Jesus reveals specifically what it means for His disciples to love one another, it means “to lay down one’s life”.

Now these were not hollow words - the following day Jesus laid down His life for all who would follow Him (John 10:17-18) to rescue them from sin and death.

And He calls us also to lay down our lives for each other. Now that doesn’t necessarily mean we have to die for one another (although sometimes it does) but it does mean that we should, sacrificially, use our time, our energy and our resources, for the benefit of each other.

Secondly, Jesus’ love was servant-hearted.

Now, on this same evening Jesus, their Lord, humbly took a bowl of water and washed His disciples’ feet. Jesus then said, “now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you” (John 13:14-15).

So, we see Jesus calls us, His followers, to love one another in humble acts of loving service.

Finally, we see Jesus’ love was steadfast.

We read in John 13:1 that Jesus loved His disciples “to the end” (ESV).

That’s quite amazing when you consider that on His last night with them, as He prepared to die for them, they abandoned Him, betrayed Him, and acted with horrible insensitivity towards Him. Friends, despite acting like brats, Jesus steadfastly loved them till the very end! And He calls us to do the same.

Lions Clubs fund-raise for shuttle Amy Russ

For John Cramond, staying at the Cancer Society’s Daffodil House in Christchurch was a deeply personal journey.

Every year approximately 18,000 outof-town patients, over 6000 of whom come from Nelson/Marlborough, stay at Daffodil House and are transported to and from their cancer-related treatment in the daffodil shuttle. Driven by a team of dedicated volunteers, the

daffodil shuttle is a vital service that takes a lot of the stress off patients and their family members.

“It is an invaluable service that we cannot do without,” says John.

But little did he know that because of his own experience, he was about to help change the lives of thousands of others who would need the same service. A member of the Motueka Lions Club, John wanted to ensure that the service was available for other people who were away from home and in

need of transportation to their treatment.

So he called on neighbouring Lions Clubs to join in to support the shuttle service “It is an ongoing cost that will more than likely only increase,” says John.

John rallied support from Lions Clubs from Richmond, Nelson, Motueka, Marlborough, West Coast and MidCanterbury. Together they managed to fund-raise more than $14,000 towards the annual cost of running the Cancer Society’s daffodil shuttle.

Richmond Lions Club presi-

dent Alex Robertson says that they were keen to contribute to the cause knowing that not only their members but others in their community had, and will continue to have, need of the shuttle service during some of the hardest times of their lives.

“Not only was it a personal project, as we have our own members affected by cancer,” says Alex, “but it is a fantastic project and was an easy one to say yes to”. The project took over six months to complete with funds raised through the annual Daffodil Day appeal,

sausage sizzles, and selling firewood and new potatoes.

Despite this phenomenal effort, Lions Club members describe themselves as ordinary people from all walks of life who enjoy getting together and supporting worthwhile projects such as this one.

“We are always on the lookout for new ideas and projects,” says Alex. “We’re always seeking, not only for new members, but also helpers.”

To find out more about how you can help go to www.lionsclub.org.nz or contact Alex at 027 268 2244.

Sparkling symphony under the stars Charles Anderson The scene was set at Saxton Oval on Saturday as more than 7000 people flocked to hear some of the world’s most captivating voices light up Nelson.

Eager punters were queuing at the gates well before they opened, making sure they secured their preferred positions on the oval.

The voices of Simon O’Neill,

Anna Leese and Bic Runga were accompanied by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra well into the evening.

“It was so fantastic to see all those people in such a beautiful setting, listening to the most glorious music – it really is one of the best nights out in Nelson,” says councillor Gaile Noonan, chair of the community services committee.

Conductor Hamish McKeich said it was a “magical evening”.

“We could all feel the energy coming from the audience, which always helps performers to give it everything.”

Attendee Bernard Downey said the event showcased everything that was great about New Zealand, and was impressed with the fireworks display at the end too.

“It was probably one of the

best I have seen. It was really something.”

The audience included a huge cross-section of the community, across all ages, and with some large groups with very wellorganised picnics.

Special guests included those from Big Brothers Big Sisters and the Blind Foundation, who were there courtesy of donated tickets from the Pay It Forward project.

Nelson City Council’s festivals team leader. Axel de Maupeou, said Saxton Cricket Oval proved to be an excellent venue.

“It has enormous potential for all kinds of events in the future.”

Opera in the Park is part of Nelson City Council’s Summer Events, featured in the Summer Events Guide, which is full of community, cultural, sports and recreation events.

Largest cruise ship visits Nelson Sara Hollyman Nelson Haven welcomed the largest cruise ship to ever visit its waters on Sunday.

Crystal Symphony docked at Port Nelson at 9am, the first cruise ship to visit Nelson this summer.

Weighing in at over 50,000 tonnes and 238m in length, she was given a total overhaul in November 2017.

It is just bigger than the 225.6m Europa 2 in December 2016 and the 688-passenger Sirena which came in April 2017.

The ship offers 28 brandnew luxury penthouses. It carries a total of 980 passengers, plus crew.

Port Nelson Harbourmaster Dave Duncan says that "it’s been a difficult one for us”.

"We've moved things around a couple of times but now we're on top of it."

She was a welcome sight for local tourism operators, many of whom were waiting to pick up eager

passengers.

"I appreciate that it's difficult for Nelson businesses not knowing when these ships are arriving, but the opportunities are definitely there for businesses,” says Dave.

"These passengers are coming to Nelson for the first time, the ship's coming to Nelson for the first time.”

Cruise passengers Bob and Laura Brandt, from Seattle, USA, planned to spend the day exploring Nelson City and checking out some local restaurants.

Crystal Symphony is on a 14-day cruise that started in Sydney and will end in Auckland. It left for Wellington at 7pm on Sunday. It costs NZ$8165 per person for one of the 461 ocean-view staterooms.

Dave says the port is hoping to attract more cruise ships.

"Although they are booked in two or three years in advance, so it won't be immediate."

Queen Street Upgrade – change to bus route A temporary change to the bus route in central Richmond will take effect on Friday 9 March.

Please be aware that the situation has changed since the Council publication Newsline went to print last week – that publication states the bus route change will begin on Monday 5 March. The change will begin on Friday 9 March. The original timetable has been delayed as work crews were diverted to storm repairs following Cyclone Gita.

Nelson to Richmond Route A temporary change to the bus route in central Richmond will take effect on Friday 9 March. After dropping passengers along Salisbury Road, NBus services will then turn right into Talbot Street, with a final drop off stop outside Pak'nSave.

Richmond to Nelson Route The first pick up point for the route to Nelson will be on Talbot Street, opposite Pak’nSave.

There will be no bus stop on Queen Street for the remainder of the Queen Street Upgrade works, as the construction zone makes turning into Queen Street

too difficult for buses. Once the upgrade is complete, a permanent bus stop will return to Queen Street, outside the Police Station.

Key things to remember • Queen Street is closed to vehicles from Sundial Square up to the Richmond Mall carpark entrance.

• There are intermittent closures and one-laning up the street to the Salisbury intersection.

• Footpaths remain open during the day and it’s business as usual for retailers.

• Parking is available on parts of Queen Street, as well as the off-street carparks accessible from Oxford Street, Cambridge Street and McIndoe Place.

Proposed land gift to DOC

Annie Fraser Diocesan Secretary, Anglican Diocese of Nelson

This month is a guest editorial from St Pauls Church after Brightwater Community Association discussion of plans for the future of the Church property on Waimea West Road.

The Nelson Anglican Diocese is planning to gift almost a hectare of land (8,835 square metres) adjoining Snowden Bush to the Department of Conservation. The land comprises a totara woodlot and provides Waimea West Road frontage to Snowden Bush, a reserve treasured by so many.

The land has provided informal access to Snowden Bush for many decades and the Diocese is keen to formalise this arrangement as part of its plan to subdivide a deferred residential section of 3,500 square metres adjoining St Paul’s Church.

It intends to eventually sell this section to replenish funds recently used to replace the aged vicarage,

ensuring continued ministry in the Waimea area.

St Paul’s church works actively in the area with its members contributing in many different ways to the community.

Its staff includes a senior care coordinator, who works with groups and individuals over 65 seeking to enable and encourage them in this valuable time of life. A counsellor is available to help people work through issues and find wholeness. The Vicar is also available to assist anyone in need.

If you require help or would like to know more, please contact the office ph 5423694 or email brightwaterchurch@gmail.com. You can also learn more by looking at the website http://www.waimeanelsonanglican. org.nz/ The Diocese hopes its gift of the totara woodlot will safeguard the ability of future generations to enjoy the land and looks forward to continuing its discussions with the Tasman District Council and Department of Conservation.

Originally built to serve the community and the volunteer group known as the Waimea Rifles, during the war it was used as a Home Guard Centre and to store Bren Gun Carriers.

for events, weddings, birthdays and community occasions. The committee are hosting a massive car boot sale on Saturday, March 24 to raise funds to purchase new chairs and tables.

Running from 9.30am till 1.30pm, organiser Charla Stratford says that sites are only $10. “It’s cruisy, casual and car boot means whatever you can chuck in your car boot – old or new.” To reserve your site contact Charla on 021 0268 5176.

A dozen “grandies” is grand Amy Russ Every Monday Ruth Mercer spends her morning drawing, reading and playing blocks with a dozen of her “grandies”.

It may seem like the generous act of a loving grandmother, however Ruth doesn’t have her own grandchildren. Instead, Ruth is Richmond Plunket’s new volunteer playgroup hostess.

“When I retired I wanted to find something to give back to the community,” says Ruth.

“I used to be a Plunket mum and committee member, so the role seemed perfect for me.”

Ruth is relishing her new role and loves the hands-on time with the babies and children.

“That nurturing effect is so important, these kids are my grandies,” she says.

Barb Tasker, Plunket’s community services coordinator, says that she was excited when Ruth volunteered for the role.

“Ruth’s just marvellous!” she says.

“Community connectedness is critical and it’s so nice for the mums, dads and bubs to have intergenerational contact.”

Ruth’s new role is a real winwin. A lot of young families don’t have any grandparents in the region and similarly, a lot of older people either aren’t able to see their grandchildren on a regular basis, or they don’t have grandchildren at all.

Debbie Harvie who runs the community karitane plunket drop-in café says that Plunket firmly believes that we need to encourage people to get together to help nurture healthy children, build confident fami-

lies and connect communities.

“It often helps to normalise feelings for parents, especially first timers,” Debbie says.

With around 16 to 20 babies born in the Tasman region every month, Debbie is busy visiting every first-time mum at home, but says that the support that they can get from each other is critical.

“Everyday issues that we go through with raising children, the sleepless nights, to be able to talk to someone and go ‘oh, its not just me!’ can be such a huge thing for people,” she says.

Plunket run playgroups in Richmond and Brightwater as well as a breastfeeding support group and a drop-in café.

It’s all about the kids Amy Russ Every year, on the first Sunday in March, New Zealand comes alive with activities and events designed to celebrate children and bring families together.

Last year over 500 locals spent their day giving time to their kids showing them how special they are and creating new memories.

Coordinated nationally through Oranga Tamariki - Ministry for Children, they hope that Children’s Day

will provide families in New Zealand with an opportunity to forge new traditions, and that it will see children celebrated, nurtured, and treasured by all.

This year the Tasman District Council are organising a Children’s Day event on Sunday, March 4 at the Richmond Aquatic Centre.

“It’s about getting that connection between families,” says Council community partnerships officer Lani Evans. “It’s recognising children and the whole whanau.”

New line pricing from 1 April 2018

The prices in the table below are used to charge electricity retailers in the region served by Network Tasman. Electricity retailers determine how to package this cost together with the energy, metering and other retail costs when setting the retail prices that appear in your power account. Our prices cover the cost of our local distribution network and the cost of national transmission of electricity.

Network Tasman’s total delivery price will increase by 1.3% from 1 April 2018 to reflect increased costs of supply. This is equivalent to 68 cents per month (excluding GST) for an average residential connection.

Discounts are credited directly to consumers’ power accounts for eligible connections twice per year. The first discount will be calculated based on usage from 1 April 2018 to 31 August 2018. The second discount will be calculated based on usage from 1 September 2018 to 31 March 2019.

Understanding the table below: Most residential consumers and some small businesses (those who have supplies with a maximum delivery of 15kVA) are Group 1 consumers. Group 2 consumers have a delivery capacity of between 20kVA and 150kVA.

From 1pm to 3pm the carpark at the Aquatic Centre will be transformed into a children’s wonderland, complete with bike ramps and a bouncy castle.

“We will have Kori the Penguin doing a water safety talk,” says Crystal Gaiger from Richmond Aquatic Centre.

“It’s all about the kids - it’s going to be a lot of fun!”

Indoors, the aqua-run will be set up, which is always a favourite, along with full use of the floaties, boards and tubes.

Outside there will be a fund-raising sausage sizzle to raise money for the upcoming Relay for Life.

A circus workshop with Christchurch-based identical twin duo the Twisty Twinz will be on offer as well as fun and motivating hip hop classes with Chloe from nationally recognised Mad Beat dance studio, and an arts and crafts section by the amazing people at PORSE. Live music will be provided by the talented family-favourite Kath Bee, to help celebrate the day and the man behind the Greatest Magic Show in Nelson, Steve Wilbury is performing one of his outstanding magic shows.

The Children’s Day event is on Sunday, March 4 at the Richmond Aquatic Centre carpark.

The outdoor event is free to attend. Don’t forget to bring your bikes for the bike challenge.

Entry to the pools will be by gold coin donation between 1pm to 3pm.

Dawn wins first pro bout Dawn Chalmers came out on top in her first professional boxing bout on Saturday.

Despite having an impressive background in combat sports, with over 11 years’ experience, Dawn was still nervous ahead the bout at Hotel Motueka. She fought unbeaten Christchurch nurse, Megan

McLennan, at Hotel Motueka, in a specially erected outside marquee. The fight went the distance with Dawn coming out on top in a unanimous points decision.

Although Dawn had boxed for much bigger crowds internationally, she was happy to have locals and friends in

21

her corner for support, including the Giants basketball team.

"You want to put on a good show for all the people forking out money to come.”

Dawn initially wanted to be a basketball player but her height prevented her from pursuing her dream. Instead

she took up water-polo and played for the New Zealand team. With the help of coach Randall Dixon, Dawn felt confident and excited ahead of the the fight. She described Randall as the "big catalyst” in making it possible.

"I couldn’t have done it without him.”

Cricket Wanderers got back into winning ways today with a win over Athletic College Old Boys in the Kelvin Scoble Trophy at the Botanics.

Stoke/Nayland was the only other Nelson team to win, with Wakatu and Waimea Toi Toi United both losing to Marlborough sides in the topof-the-south club cricket competition. Batting first, Wanderers put on close to 200 before bowling ACOB out with 50 runs still needed.

For Stoke/Nayland another win just adds to its stellar season. The team put on 132 before bowling Nelson College out for 109. At Victory Square, Wakatu lost to the Falcons from Blenheim, while WTTU lost to the Dolphins in Marlborough.

Triathlon The Proper Crisps Team Triathlon got underway at Rabbit Island on Sunday on a slightly altered course. Team members completed a triathlon of 250m swim, 6km bike and 2km run before tagging the next team member. National triathlon champion Hayden Squance led his team to victory, recording the fastest individual time of 21 minutes 27 seconds. Carolyn and Charlie Squance, also took home a win, holding off the team of Little Bigs Boys. Full results at nelsontriclub.co.nz

Local runner a NZ champ The question, as Athletics Nelson’s Craig Lautenslager surged away from his closest competitor one fourth of the way through Saturday’s New Zealand 10,000 metres Championships in Inglewood, was not if he would win, but rather whether he would lap the field.

Ultimately, Craig came up just three metres short.

The second finisher was 397m

behind – and Craig settled for his first New Zealand track title in 29min 51.97sec.

Twenty-four-year-old Craig, who graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington in May and then promptly took out the New Zealand Cross Country and Half Marathon titles, stormed to the lead on a track laden with 16 male and female competitors aged 15 to 78.

He went through the first kilometre in 2min 46sec and only Lake City’s Michael Voss went with him.

“I was trying to hit 72 (second laps) but I felt really good and went through a lot faster than I wanted,” said Craig, who breezed through 5,000m in 14min 35sec.

“I paid for it in the second half of the race.”

Michael paid more dearly as he

finished more than three minutes behind Craig and was lapped twice, eventually settling for sixth place.

Craig lapped some runners more than eight times, and lapped the runner-up in the seniors division, Auckland’s Jonno Jackson, with 500m remaining.

The only runner not lapped was Christchurch’s Chris Dryden, the Men’s Under 20 winner who

finished in 30min 59.59sec, just short of the qualifying standard for the World Junior Track and Field Championships.

Sally Gibbs of Tauranga won the senior women’s title in 36min 22.10sec, her sixth New Zealand senior championship win.

Craig will compete in the 5,000m and 1,500m at the New Zealand Track and Field Championships in Hamilton, March 9 to 11.

Special Olympics Aquatics Ribbon Day Tapawera Area School’s two swimming pools were the venue for the Special Olympians swimmers, with a Ribbon Event held last Sunday.

The district’s three Special Olympians clubs, Nelson, Motueka and Marlborough, converged on Tapawera Area School, only the second time it’s hosted this event.

The competitors had to be at Tapawera for a 9am start, an early wakeup for the Marlborough swimmers leaving at 7am. Sadly, one of the Motueka competitors lives on the Takaka Hill and due to the road closure couldn’t attend.

Pool conditions were a fraction cool with the early start but once the swimmers started moving they warmed up quickly. The motto for the organization, ‘Let me win, if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt’, was very evident in the swimmers’ attitude to the swimming.

The swimmers were constantly encouraging each other in the events that they were competing in or even just watching. Upon exiting the pool, one of the dis-

Marlborough swimmer Cameron Rowe swims in the 4x25m medley. Photo: Susan Fenemor. trict coaches constantly dished out ‘high fives’ and acknowledged the swimmer by name, even if they weren’t from her district.

All Special Olympians swimmers are allocated into a division. This is a recognized system to make it fair across the board, no matter the age or the sex, but identifies the swimmer’s ability.

There were 13 swimming events in total at this Tier 1 Ribbon event. Special Olympics New Zealand is first and foremost a sports organisation, but it provides athletes with far more than

the physical benefits of sport. It’s about fun, friendships and team spirit; it’s about a feeling of belonging, and ultimately improving quality of life.

Former Tapawera Area School student Jess Pope, who has been attending Special Olympian events for just over 12 years now, commented that she ‘liked coming back home, and coming back to the local pool.’

Year 12 student Motu Harris entered a few events but his favourite was the last race, the 25m freestyle, which he won, beating

Marlborough swimmers Jacob Heard and Brad McLennan with a good time of 19.03 sec.

“Ribbon Days are all about fun, ability and sportsmanship,” says Nelson coach Dallas Robinson.

“Our motto is all about learning to be humble in winning and gracious in defeat.”

Dallas says that it provides the opportunity for swimmers to set times in new events and consolidate times in proven events.

While swimming ability is important, Dallas says that it is no more important than sportsmanship.

Respect for one’s team mates, fair play, respect and consideration for coaches and officials, ability to be humble and gracious and, not least, to accept the challenges that come throughout the swimmers’ competitive cycle are all important qualities, he says.

“I am very proud of the Nelson team, I feel that we live up to the ethos of Special Olympics both nationally and internationally,” says Dallas.

“To do the very best that they can, whether that be in training, competition or in their lives generally.”

Special Olympics New Zealand offers a year-round programme of sports training and competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. More than 7,000 athletes train and compete in 14 different Olympictype summer and winter sports.

Each year, Special Olympics MZ runs more than 200 events in over 40 towns and cities across the country supported by over 3000 volunteers and facilitated through a network of Regional Sports Coordinators.

Boating craftmanship on show Judene Edgar Reporter

judene@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Hardy clinkers, classic yachts, sleek cedar kayaks, veteran jetboats and meticulous replica steamboats will all be on display at the New Zealand Antique and Classic Boatshow this weekend.

Now in its 19th year, the boatshow continues to grow in the number and quality of craft presented, as well as the number of people coming to view the boats and the action on the lake.

Last year, over 130 boats entered the two-day extravaganza.

Organiser Pete Rainey says that after eighteen years the format will stick to the “tried and true”.

“Why change when people love what we do?” he says.

Taking place at Lake Rotoiti on March 3 and 4, there will be displays on land until 1pm each day, followed by activities and races on the lake.

“The displays on the land in the morning are an opportunity to swap restoration stories and pore over the

detail of the boats on display,” Pete says.

“Then it’s time to take your picnic to the foreshore and watch the fun of the sail-past, the races for each category, and the usually humorous ‘Le Mans’ beach start to the Seagull dinghy race.”

The judging takes place on Saturday, ahead of the evening awards ceremony at the Alpine Lodge with the Jens Hansen trophy at stake.

Pete says that the judges are after good looks as well as history, construction, and a boat with a story to tell.

Other awards include prizes for best new restoration, best steamboat, best jet-propelled craft and best themed display, as well as prizes for race winners.

This year, Pete and co-organiser Glenn Common will officially launch their immaculately restored racing hydroplane Elray III. Pete says that the restoration of the rotten and engineless hull

discovered in Hokitika was a “mad but extremely interesting labour of love”.

“When Elray was built back in 1967 she was the fastest boat in New Zealand and featured on the cover of Seaspray magazine that year.

“What's really special is that we have the original driver, Jon Jarvie, and his wife, the daughter of the original owner Jock Appleton, coming down from Auckland to see Elray on the water.”

Suburbs re-launched and ready for new season Andrew Board Nelson Suburbs "re-launched" its club with a new look and some new faces last weekend.

Suburbs are the region's top football club, with a team playing in the Mainland Premier League which features the top club teams from Christchurch.

Committee member Phil Williams says the re-launch was the beginning of a concerted effort to make the club more inviting and "family-friendly".

"The first part was a club rebrand and the second was to create a more social environment within the club."

Suburbs has dozens of teams in the junior grades and six senior mens and womens teams.

Phil says the new look was to give the club a "modern feel" while also returning it to the club's original colour of sky-

A new logo, apparel sponsor, major club sponsors and website have also been a part of the

re-launch.

Phil says more work to the clubrooms is to come.

"We want to make our clubrooms more inviting and create a more family-friendly club."

To help kick-off the re-launch, the club played four games at its Saxton Field base on Saturday.

A combined 1st and 2nd division team lost 4-2 to a combined Tahuna FC team.

A more social match between a combined Suburbs Rovers and Seals team easily beat a visiting Wellington side 8-1.

The Mainland League team suffered a 2-1 loss to Cashmere Tech.

Phil says pre-season training has begun for all senior teams and anyone wanting more information about playing can visit nelsonsuburbs.co.nz.
