Richmond water to stay chlorinated Jo Kent Reporter

jo@waimeaweekly.co.nz

A final decision has been made to permanently chlorinate the water supplies across Richmond and the whole of the Tasman district, in a bid to provide safer drinking water for residents. It’s a controversial move that has been in the pipeline for some time, with councillors now in agreement to use chlorine to provide residual disinfection of all council water supplies. Chris Choat, community relations manager for Tasman District Council, says, “We began community consultation on the proposal last year and received 101 submissions - 90 of which were opposed to permanent chlorination. In the interim, the Government has drafted legislation that makes residual disinfection mandatory, and it’s expected to come into play during the second half of 2021.” The Richmond water supply has been temporarily chlorinated since early December when work on the Champion Road roundabout started. That was then continued while reservoir roofs were upgraded after a water test in March detected the presence of E. coli. The chlorination will now be kept

ongoing permanently. The decision will come as a disappointment to some who are sensitive to the taste of chlorinated water and also the smell. Local resident Steve Judge says, “When I have a shower in the morning, I’m instantly aware of the strong smell of chlorine, like I’m at the local swimming baths. And my tap water is not nice to drink.” Chlorine deactivates bacteria and some viruses that may be introduced to water as it flows through the reticulated network. It’s added to the water automatically at the water treatment plant. It is expected that the chlorine level leaving the plant will be between 0.3ppm-0.5ppm (0.3mg/l-0.5mg/l). “Safe drinking water for every household in Tasman is a priority. The main advantage chlorine provides is protection across the entire network – from treatment plant to tap. No other barrier provides this protection,” says Chris. “Chlorine treatment of water has been used around the world for more than a century and is proven by science as a safe and effective water disinfectant.” Many council supplies are already chlorinated, including Wakefield, Brightwater, Murchison and MapuaRuby Bay. Motueka will be chlorinated once the Parker Street water treatment plant is operational later this year.

The current focus is completing vaccination of Groups 1, 2 and 3 over the next few months. Vaccination clinics at residential care facilities are almost complete for both dose 1 and 2. Group 4 vaccinations are expected to start at the end of July, but this is dependent on supply of the vaccine. “Vaccine supply is a challenge,” said Dr Ashley Bloomfield at a media briefing last week. He said we may need to slow down vaccines in July if we don’t get a reasonable sized delivery in July. According to Ashley, every country trying to get the vaccine is leaning on Pfizer.

The friendly face of politics Jenny Nicholson Reporter

jenny@waimeaweekly.co.nz

List MP Nick Smith announced his retirement on Monday, effective 10 June. Shortly after, MP for Nelson Rachel Boyack posted on Facebook, “I’d like to acknowledge the 30 years of service Nick Smith MP has given to the Nelson Tasman region as an MP. I wish you well, Nick.” Recently they found themselves seated together on an Air NZ flight and both said they had a friendly chuckle. “At first we thought air New Zealand might have been having a bit of a joke with us,” says Rachel. She says it was good to share stories from Dancing for a Cause, which she took place in three years ago and Nick

have all the problems solved by the time we landed in Nelson. I’m sure it was a coincidence, given how frequently we both fly between Nelson and Wellington,” says Nick. He says he and Rachel have a friendly and respectful re-

lationship. “We both share a passion for our Nelson community.” He says they also discussed the domestics of being away from home and getting use to continuously travelling. In announcing his retirement, Nick says recent changes in family circumstances require him to give greater support. He also acknowledged there was a confidential inquiry into a verbal altercation in his office. On Friday he was advised that the inquiry had been leaked to the media. He says he apologised for the incident at the time and again on Monday, but feels it is best for the National party, his family and himself to retire now. He had made the decision to retire earlier in the year and the only question was when.

Drop in house prices Jenny Nicholson House prices in Tasman have dropped in the past month, according to latest figures from the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand. While they are still up 16.9 per cent on this time last year, median prices dropped from a record high of $801,000 in March this year to $767,500 in April. Nelson prices moved closer to Tasman prices rising from $682,00 in March to $743,000 in April. Numbers of homes sold also dropped in both areas, with just 58 houses sold in Tasman over the month, dropping from 70 in March. This was still a 427 per cent increase on numbers sold in April last year. “Many properties are going to multi-offer as demand has continued to outweigh supply. Vendor expectations have been high as a result of busy open homes and an arrival of out-of-town purchasers,” says REINZ acting CEO Wendy Alexander. It is also taking an average of five days longer to sell houses than in March. The current average of 28 days is still less than the 10-year average of 34 days for April. Wendy says it’s expected the market will remain steady over coming months.

Pfizer has stuck to the delivery schedule they had given, and he was hoping to hear more by June 2nd. “The message remains the same, don’t call us, we will call you,” says Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins. The Nelson Marlborough District Health board continues to lead the way with 163 percent of the planned doses given. As of Sunday 23 May, 30,198 vac-

cines had been administered in the region, well up from the planned 18,574. Chris Hipkins said the number one task remains keeping covid out of New Zealand. He said countries who have previously done well now have outbreaks, including Taiwan who now had over 700 cases compared to just five two weeks ago. “We can never be too vigilant,” he says. Testing of border workers continues with some workers having been tested with nasal swabs over 100 times. The introduction of saliva tests for frontline workers will mean some have the choice of less frequent invasive testing. Border workers who choose saliva testing would be tested every two to three days with a nasal swab every two weeks. There have been 38,980 tests in the Nelson Marlborough area between January 22 and May 30 this year. The advice from NMDHB remains to call Healthline is you are unsure if you need to be tested.

Students flew up, up and away

The popular Children’s Book Exchange which was previously located on Hebberd Place in Richmond has a new home outside Hope School. The idea is that kids can take a book or leave one and share the love of reading. Principal for the school, Freya Hogarth, says, “The kids showed a massive interest in it straight away, so we’re really pleased to have it right outside.” The exchange was the brainchild of Tim and Jasmine Creed and they relocated the glass-fronted, repurposed fridge after moving house and enrolling their own children in the school. “We wanted to put it somewhere that would see it getting lots of use, so where better than outside the local school?” says Tim.

FRoM PagE 1 Jenny Nicholson Students and staff from Tapawera Area School and Murchison Area School floated above their school grounds last week as part of the Flying High for Kids project which is endeavouring to capture students’ interest in the sciences before they reach college. Thirty students, and a few teachers, were taken up in a hot air balloon to around 20 to 30 metres. The balloon was tethered to the ground for safety, but they still experienced the heat as the flames propelled the balloon higher, and seeing how small people looked on the ground. Andrew Parker has taken the balloon to 87 countries, encouraging children to follow their dreams, and was featured as number one on Lonely Planet’s ‘Epic Journeys around the World 2017’. “The balloon opened kids’ eyes to the world around them,” he says.

His travels took him to many third world and developing nations. When Covid-19 hit, he returned to New Zealand. He is currently travelling around 30 schools, aiming to promote the importance of education, innovation, and sustainability to Year 5-10 students at low decile and rural schools around New Zealand. “There are not enough children going into maths and science. This is part of broadening their horizons,” he says. Andrew’s schedule must stay flexible as weather dictates when the balloon can be taken up. Last week’s frosts and sunny still days were the perfect conditions. Students say they felt nervous before going up. Mitchell Bean said he was bad with heights but it would be fun to give it a try. “It was quite wonderful how far off the ground you got. I’m glad I got to do it,” says Holly Jones.

Local chicks given chance to survive Jenny Nicholson Chances of survival of native birds and chicks in the hills behind Richmond have been boosted by a substantial donation given by local couple Matt and Rachael Watson from Trail Explorers. The donation to Richmond Native Bird Recovery will allow the group to replace worn out traps and make new ones for the Kingsland

Forest area where they have been trapping for around 20 years, says group member Alison Pickford. Rats, mice, possum, and mustelids eating birds’ eggs, fledglings and lizards are an ongoing problem, but the traps are giving the birds a chance at successful nesting. Along with native falcon, wax eyes, morepork and tuis are among native bird species to be helped by

trapping. “The most stunning change we have seen over that time is in vegetation, with less possums around. More branches are seen on native trees, different ferns and fungi growing and an increase of undergrowth. It’s coming together,” says Alison. The group, along with Keep Richmond Beautiful, trap, weed, and plant in the hills behind Richmond.

retire earlier this year and the only question was when. Politics does place a significant burden on family and I am incredibly grateful for the support of my wife, children and wider family. There have been recent changes in family circumstances which require me to give greater support. I will be re-joining the Smith family crane and construction business in New Zealand,

Australia and in the Pacific. Projects that I have loved helping achieve locally include the Kahurangi National Park, three local marine reserves, Saxton Field, Garin College, upgrades of our wonderful arts facilities and Trafalgar Park, the Early Settlers Memorial, the Stoke and Ruby Bypasses and the Waimea Community Dam, currently under construction.

It has been a privilege to get to know thousands of Nelsonians through constituency work, often over difficult situations. It has been a pleasure to help many but also a disappointment where I could not. I particularly thank my loyal National Party members and the dedicated staff I have worked with in my electorate office, for their support, particularly Cheryl Hill who

Waimea students win business prize Jo Kent Reporter

It’s another win for Waimea College, but this time for student business team Three Bays Jellies, who use the region’s excess fruit to make jams and jellies. The group became regional winners of the first challenge in the Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) earning them $100 to invest in their brand. The YES programme is designed for Year 12-13 students, and provides them the opportunity to set up and run their own business, alongside their business studies class at

school. There are five challenges held throughout the year with the next being on 22 June, where the teams will pitch Dragons’ Den-style to a panel of judges from local businesses. Nicole Byrman from Three Bays Jellies says, “We were quite excited when we found out we had won. It really confirmed that what we are doing is right.” Jared Peterson, on the production team, says, “We currently make the jams on a stovetop in a pot at my house.” With grand designs on a commercial kitchen one day, the team approached Pic’s food factory

to ask if they could use their facilities. As a result, Louis Picot, Pic’s son, has been in touch. “Louis has been really helpful in talking to us about how to market our product,” says Nicole. “We are still continuing to meet with him and lots of other professionals who have taken us under their wing along the way. That’s been one of the biggest learning curves.” The year-long programme culminates with an overall regional winner in November, who will then go on to compete in the national finals in December. Waimea College won the national prize last year.

House selling for $1 Jenny Nicholson A three-bedroom house on Champion Road is for sale for $1 if it is removed and the site left clear. The Presbyterian Church has been using the house but has plans to build a church on the site and hopes the house can be bought and removed by September.

“It’s a nice old house. There has to be a transaction, so we are charging $1,” says minister John Parkes. Their plans for the new facility are very much with community in mind, with the foyer/café area almost the size of the main auditorium. They are looking at running a community garden where people can learn to go from

seed to produce to eat. Another plan is to use the kitchen to teach preserving, as one way to assist with budgeting. The large trees on the section will remain. John is talking about occasionally having summer services in the shade under the tree at the back of the property.

Lifting the fog on perinatal depression

Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

When Karolina Gorton was pregnant with her second child, a dark cloud hung over her. “It came very suddenly. I didn’t know what was going on with me. It was like a fog above my head.” Karolina was experiencing perinatal depression - the depression that occurs during pregnancy or in the first year following the birth of a child. Four years later and out the other side, the local illustrator and designer has used her experience, and the stories of other women, to create the ‘Blue Stories Project’,

which opens at Richmond Library on Saturday, 5 June. Karolina has created 10 portraits of women with each containing a story and an encouraging message. Karolina says she wanted to create a “positive” project. “My idea was to use stories from women who experienced it but are on the other side. This exhibition is not about perinatal depression by itself, but actually about the strong women who were willing to share their experience with me.” The project is in collaboration with Perinatal Support Nelson, who was instrumental in Karolina’s recovery. “My recovery was going to walks, yoga, contacting my GP, and going to free

counselling with Perinatal Support Nelson. “My friends checked on me and gave me meals when my son was born. The community around you is so important when you are going through it.” Karolina says it is important for women to talk about their experiences. “When I talk with other women about this project, so many have told me that they, or their friend, mum or sister has had it - I was finding out how common it is. “We can empower other people by sharing our stories, but what is more important is we might be able to reach to people who may need that help.”

Perinatal Support Nelson chairman Duncan Gray says 25 per cent of women are affected by perinatal depression. “Our vision is that every woman with perinatal depression is supported in our community.” The project has received funding from Nelson City Creative Communities Scheme, Tasman District Creative Communities Scheme and Lottery Community grant. The project will also have an online presence with all stories and portraits posted on bluestoriesproject.com. People are invited to send their stories via the website. Blue Stories Project runs until 1 July at Richmond Library.

Roger Batt and Arnold Clark are members of the Waimea South Historical Society which will be celebrating its 40th anniversary this month.History has played a large role in Arnold’s life. Having taught both history and geography at secondary school level, he went on to write the history of the past 25 years at Wakefield School. “I joined the group because I’m interested in history. We have eight meetings a year, often talks but also some trips to interesting heritage sites,” says Arnold. Roger has also written a book containing history of the Waimea region. The group was formed by Betty Bint in 1981 with the intention of preserving the history of the Waimea area. They have also been instrumental in marking places of historic importance such as the Rutherford Memorial Hall at Foxhill, where a plaque identifies the site of the first Wakefield school. They will celebrate the anniversary at Willowbank on 12 June. The celebration is open to the public and all those who are interested in attending will need to register by phone on 03 544 7834. Invitations have also been sent to past members. On the day there will be speeches and a cake cutting ceremony. Photo: Jenny Nicholson.

Should we be intolerant of intolerance? Freedom of speech is an essential foundation for any democratic society. But is there a point when we should censure people for what they say? Wikipedia encyclopaedia states: The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually seized or destroyed by the intolerant. Karl Popper described it as the seemingly paradoxical idea that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance. Can tolerance be destroyed by the intolerant? I guess that depends on how tolerant we are! And, who decides what should, or shouldn’t be, tolerated?? Our Western culture appears to be coming increasingly intolerant of Christian values. Reports come from the U.K. of a street preacher being arrested for declaring that the bible defines marriage as a relationship between a man and a woman. He was accused of making homophobic comments by an intolerant passerby who was upset by the information. And the School Chaplain in a Christian school who was requested, by students, to preach a chapel sermon on, ‘How come we are told we have to accept all this LGBT stuff in a Christian school?’ The report states that the Chaplain ‘moderately and carefully presented the Christian viewpoint on identity questions, encouraged debate and stressed that no protected characteristic is more protected than another’. He explained that for Christians, where there is disagreement, it is vital to love their neighbor, leaving no room for personal attack or abusive language towards anyone. Presenting the Church of England’s

biblical position on marriage and human nature, he emphasized that children at the school were not compelled to ‘accept an ideology they disagree with’. The school responded with, ‘A hostile interrogation where Dr. Randall was told that his beliefs were not relevant and did not matter, and that the sermon had hurt some people’s feelings and undermined the school’s LGBT agenda.’ The school suspended Dr. Randall, reporting him to the British governments counter terrorism watchdog as a potential violent religious extremist. They also reported him to the Local Authority Designated Officer as a danger to children. Dr. Randall was then forced out of his job for doing his job! Note his job description declared his role to ‘be the particular voice and embodiment of…Christian values which are at the heart of the schools ethos’. Wow! Could this happen in New Zealand? Or are we more tolerant than the U.K.? If we allow our culture to become one where anyone can claim to be ‘upset’ by what someone else says, resulting in the speaker’s persecution; arrest; loss of employment; etc. Then who is the real ‘terrorist’? Let me be clear. I believe that if real psychological or emotional harm; or incitement to do harm to another; occurs, then it is time to be intolerant of intolerance! But we must be incredibly careful how we measure such ‘harm’ least we overreact. Trying to protect one group, resulting in the persecution of another group, is not an answer. If we want N.Z. to be a free and fair country for all then we can’t give unfair preference to the rights of any one group over another, be those rights based on religious belief; sexual orientation; race; age; gender, etc. Let’s make sure we really are ‘tolerant’ in ways that truly uphold this valiant principle.

Proudly brought to you by...

The first Richmond Fire Brigade formed in 1878 Robyn Parkes

Newspaper reports are a wonderful source of information. The following article concerns the inauguration of the Richmond Fire Brigade from Nelson Evening Mail dated 24th August 1878. The event occurred the previous evening. “The majority of the Nelson Fire Brigade— a detachment being left behind in case their services might he required in town— started from the Engine House, headed by the Battalion Band, at six o’clock last night in torchlight procession for the railway station, on their way to Richmond, where they had promised to inaugurate the newly-formed local Brigade. They were accompanied by Dr Collins, the surgeon of the Brigade, and the agents of the Royal,

New Zealand, and Norwich Union Insurance Companies.” On the way out coloured fires were burned, which doubtless presented a very pretty appearance to people who were looking on from outside; to those in the train, however, they must have awakened recollections of breakfast time at Mrs Squeers’ celebrated establishment, Dotheboys Hall, when the unhappy lads were drenched with brimstone and treacle, only that the boys had an advantage over the passengers, in that the latter had the brimstone without the treacle. Arriving at the Richmond station, where a large crowd had gathered to receive them, the Brigade once more lighted their torches, and with the band at their head marched to the Star and Garter Hotel. The engine having been brought up from the

Photo: Supplied. station the alarm was sounded, and the scene of the supposed fire being Mr Croucher’s new-erected mill. 800 feet of hose were speedily run out, and in the course of a very few minutes a stream of water was playing on the roof, which must be close upon 40 feet in height. The engine was then

shifted to the Fair Ground and worked by the Richmond men, and after that to Hodder’s corner, where some good practice was performed by the country brigade. The closing act was at the Star and Garter, where they went through the ladder practice, in which both companies acquitted

themselves remarkably well. The jumping off the roof into a sheet below caused infinite amusement to the crowd who had gathered, many of whom had never seen this portion of the brigade’s drill before, and the effect was much heightened by the scene being lighted up by blue and rose coloured lights alternately. The members of the brigades and their friends then adjourned to the long room of the hotel for suppe, and after the appetites that had been sharpened by the two hours’ work with the engine were appeased, speeches followed. A procession was then formed, and the Nelson men with their lighted torches, marched back to the station, accompanied by their Richmond friends, who cheered them loudly as the train moved off.

Since 1795, Jim Beam has been crafted by the Beam family and distilled with a strong sense of family values. Seven generations later, it’s still made with those same values and aged twice as long as the law requires. Perhaps that’s why, today, Jim Beam stands as the World’s #1 Bourbon.

Tapawera Area School’s Inaugural Double Hour MTB Relay had 10 schools competing in the event, primarily for Year 4-6 pupils. The competition was held on a 1.5km pump track opened last year, which weaves around the periphery of two sports fields. Teams had

to ride around the track and achieve as many laps as they could in two hours. Many different age groups from Tapawera Area School helped run the event, with predominantly primary students marshalling and counting the laps, while secondary students helped gear the students up with their bikes, provided music and

managed food stalls for fundraising. Levi Davies, a Year 5 student from Tapawera, says, “It was a bit cold at the start but good when the sun came out. It was great having all the other schools here to compete against.” Mapua School came first with 40 laps and won a trophy made by schoolteacher Vince Fox.

Feature

When Shane Drummond starting selling $2000 second hand cars for himself in 1996 he was a young, passionate salesman who wanted nothing more than to strive for excellence. 37 years in the industry, twenty-five at The Car Company, that strive for excellence is still a cornerstone of the company that sells more secondhand cars than any other in the top of the south. The Car Company celebrates its 25th birthday this month. It was founded by Shane and his wife Sarah and has gone from a two-man operation to one of the largest car dealerships in the country. With 27 staff, three branches, over 500 vehicles in stock at all times and well over 25,000 cars sold, it’s been one heck of a ride for the man affectionately known as Drummy. And in typical Drummy fashion, he wants to use the Car Company’s birthday to give back. There are over 25 $100 vouchers to give away and every vehicle at every branch is reduced, trade in deals and much more. With three branches on Rutherford St, Tahunanui and Richmond, the Car Company is an institution in the region that has grown to include the Money Company for finance, a workshop and a grooming wing. The type of vehicles being sold has also changed, with the Car Company being electric and hybrid vehicle specialists as well as owning the franchise for SsangYong and LDV. Over the past 25 years the Car Company has helped tens of thousands of Nelsonian’s into new cars, being known for making it easy to buy a car by being a “one stop shop”. But it isn’t just selling cars where the Car Company excels, it is a huge contributor back to the local community. The Car Company is a major sponsor of rugby, cricket, bowls, basketball, and countless other community groups, schools and organisations. Women’s Refuge is another organisation that benefits from the Car Company’s generosity, donating $50 per vehicle sold one month a year plus other initiatives throughout that month. Since 2010 has raised over $137,000 for the local organisation. Anyone who knows Drummy knows there’s countless other projects outside of his work at the Car Company that he’s helped with or ran for

But it didn’t start like that. It started in a general store in Motueka. “My first job after leaving school at 16 was at Whitwells in Mot, I did pretty well there so they flicked me across the road to their other store selling whiteware and appliances. I set up a record section and car accessories in that store and did pretty well there too.” But cars were what a young Shane wanted to sell so he wrote a letter to Henry Houston, then-dealer principal at Houston Motors. “There wasn’t a job going but I told him I wanted one, he came out to Motueka to see me, without telling me he was coming and asked to speak to me. He offered me a job but I’d al-

ready decided to head to Perth with a mate for our OE, I told him he’d have to give me 24 hours to decide. He couldn’t believe it and I came back to him the next day and said ‘yes, lets go’.” The late Henry remains his most influential mentor. From there Shane quickly made an impression, winning the award for top Sales Manager for Mitsubishi throughout the country. Promotions to sales manager positions and offers to buy into the company came but Shane wanted to run his own ship. So, in 1996, on a plot of land he bought in Nile St, a 30 year old Shane started selling cars

for himself. “They were cheap cars but the two of us there did really well and soon enough I was pretty keen to expand.” Over the years, the Car Company has had – believe it or not – 25 different sites throughout the region. The most recent bought just last month, another on Rutherford Street. But Shane says it’s the people that makes him the proudest. We’ve had several staff here that have been with us for more than 20 years and another four that have been here for more than 10. That says something, I think. I like to give people opportunities to thrive, the rest is up to them but we give that opportunity.” Family and staff Young Drummond Family: Nicole, Shane, remain crucial to his values. Sarah and Mitchell Drummond. (taken approx ‘98). When asked, he says the one

client that really sticks out over the 25 years is Russells Curtains owner Bill Liddell, who has bought more than 50 LDV vans off him as well as countless other vehicles. “Bill was already a customer, we’d helped him into a couple of second hand vans for his business then he went on a trip to the UK, he came back saying that he’d seen this LDV van over there that he really liked, he heard they were coming to New Zealand and suggested I look into it. I told him that he was right, they were coming to New Zealand because I had gained the franchise off them and the rest is history. I like that story because he’s another great Nelson business that has grown so much and is now all over the country.” While Bill is just one happy customer, Shane reckons the secret to the Car Company’s success is the “three Rs” repeat business, referral and recommendation, we sell to sell again! “We really strive to make sure that every customer is well looked after, that every sale is a great experience and we do that time and time again. I’m proud of that and proud of how we do business.” 25 years unveils a new chapter with Ben Brownie coming on board as a shareholder and taking on a leadership role in the company, adding to his many year’s experience managing the Richmond branch. “Ben is now general manager and a full time buyer. He’s a great guy and really good at what he does, he’s a bit different to me, he’s more hyperactive but he has a great way about him and that’s exciting for the future of the business”. So with 25 years down, Drummy sees the next 25 years as building on its already strong foundations. “We have the fundamentals, it’s impossible to have the same growth we’ve had over the past 25 years but I think we can maintain our position in the market as being honest, reliable and for getting things done.” If you’re looking for a new vehicle, then now is the perfect time to take advantage of the Car Company’s 25th birthday generosity. Head down to either of their three yards to check out their huge range of vehicles, you won’t regret it.

But although Don is retiring from curating the turf at Stoke, he won’t be putting himself out to pasture. “I love my garden,” he says. “and it just means that I’ll have more time for that.” Don has previously been honoured at the Nelson Sports Awards with a Rata Foundation Life Service Award. His career began back in the 1950s when he managed an orchard for a “bloke who was a bowler”. “We started going to the fruit grower’s tournament. I wasn’t a player at all, I had never had a bowl in my hand, but that’s how I got into it and I rather enjoyed it.” Don’s boss gifted the then 24-year-old his first set of

Don was soon advising other greenkeepers and managing two greens in Nelson, two Richmond and two in Stoke. “It was a big job from daylight till dark, all week.” Before he retired, Don still worked hard maintaining the two greens at Stoke. “I liked to start early and get my work done,” he says. “I’d go down at 6.30am to have the greens ready for 9am.” He says working with plants, fertilizer and spray was ingrained in him from early on. “I had a advantage as I’ve al-

Erin Bradnock With over 80 per cent of car seats not being installed properly, Nelson City Council and Tasman District Council have partnered with Baby On The Move Nelson to ensure the region’s young people are travelling safely while on the road. All children under seven years of age must use an approved child restraint appropriate for their age, height and weight. If a car seat is not installed appropriately, it won’t perform properly in a crash. This means parents have to understand how to refit and adjust their car seats as their children grow. The team at Baby On The Move will check your car seat, then provide recommendations on how to achieve a safe and compliant installation – this could be as simple as installing a locking clip or changing a belt path. Marianne Hart Biggs at Baby On The Move Nelson wants parents to be confident that their car seats are installed properly. “If we can raise awareness and get as many free checks done this month as possible it would

Car seats have a reputation for being difficult to understand and install, but with good advice and education this doesn’t have to be the case,” says Marianne.

This means less than 2.5cm. • If the child is harnessed does the harness fit snugly? Perform the “pinch test”. If the harness is snug, your fingers will slide off the webbing. If the harness is loose, you will be able to pinch the webbing between your fingers. • Does your car seat require you to attach a top tether to an approved anchor point? Check your car seat manual to identify this. • Is your child below the maximum height and or weight limitations of your car seat (either rear or forward facing)? See stickers on the side of the seat or refer to your manual.

• Has your car seat expired? Check the date on the seat and refer to manual for life span. • Did you try the car seat in your vehicle before purchasing it? Not all car seats fit all cars – At Baby On The Move we ensure the car seat fits your child and your vehicle. We will also educate you how to use the car seat so you can feel confident installing your car seat.

ways worked on the land; my father was an orchardist.” Don has even had one of the greens at Stoke named after him as a nod to his efforts there throughout the years. However, despite being his pride and joy, the ‘Carter Green’ doesn’t get any better treatment that the other one. He has not only spent decades as a player, Don has also been a coach, life member, president and patron. Don has won 16 centre titles and more than 30 club titles. He has also represented Nelson for 18 consecutive seasons and once finished a national tournament as the fourth best player in the country. However, his true passion lay on the surface and he retired as a player 14 years ago so he could dedicate himself to bowling greens. “I’ve enjoyed it. I don’t think I’ve ever woken up and thought ‘Oh, I have to go and face those greens’.” Former Nelsonian Glen Miller from the Burnside Bowling Club in Christchurch will replace Don and the two know each other well as they’ve worked together in the past. Don is still the club’s Patron, so he’ll be on hand to help out Glen or catch up for a coffee.

James Lowe on rugby life

Nelson named top rowing club in the country Jonty Dine Whether you are a seasoned veteran or a newcomer, Nelson Rowing Club has a place for you. This inclusive attitude saw the club named the best in the country. Not only this, but head coach Tim Babbage was acknowledged with an award for contribution to rowing. “The club’s had a fantastic season and all members are proud to be acknowledged,” says Tim.

The win was Nelson’s first in 14 years and makes them the second club in history to win the award twice, behind Christchurch juggernaut Avon. One of the club’s most promising youngsters, Nicole Campbell, says it’s a ‘cool’ achievement. “There are lots of early mornings, but everyone’s committed.” Nicole says it’s the best cultural environment she has been involved in. “We’re lucky to be able to train where we do, hav-

ing that long stretch of water, it’s better than a river and we learn to row in rough waters.” Ollie Ranson echoed Nicole’s sentiments. “We’re a small club, but we are very tight knit. It’s been great to come through the levels.” Ollie is in his fifth season with the club. If you’d like to give rowing a go, new members are always welcome. Contact the Club’s administrator at info@nelsonrowing.co.nz.

Prices Waimea Ahurei were so short of numbers on Thursday that coach Mandy Whiting was kitted up in case she was required to play. However, despite an early scare, Prices maintained its unbeaten record in the Nelson Netball Competition. With just eight players taking the court, Prices saw off a brave Nelson College for Girls side 49-31 at Saxton Stadium. Mandy admits her side were not at their best on Thursday night. “Just maybe an off night, the connections weren’t there as much as they have been, but a win is a win.” Mandy says Price’s performances over the opening three rounds

mean they have set high standards for themselves. She was relieved she didn’t have to make an appearance on the court as her troops dug deep to last the 60 minutes. “I was sure we would be fine, and I wouldn’t need to go on.” Shooter Harriet Ogilvie was superb inside the circle in the absence of regular Shar Lowe, nailing 47 of her 58 attempts at goal. NCG kept fighting and managed to score 12 third-quarter goals to keep themselves in touch. Harriet put Prices into the forties with 10 minutes remaining, but Kim Curry and Chloe Dixon ensured their side plenty of respectability on defence. Prices will meet Jacks in the final match of the round.

James Lowe played for Waimea Old Boys from 2011 to 2014 and says he would love to run out for the red and white hoops again one day. His first rugby was at age 6 and all he remembers is his dad telling him he’d buy him a pie if he scored a try. Jeff Wilson was his role model through his early years. Now playing for Ireland, James says he gets nervous before every game at every level; nerves mean you care. Pressure is a privilege and staying present is huge, making sure when you are called on to do your role, you execute, he says. “Obviously there is more scrutiny at the highest level. A good thing I tell myself after a bad game is, ‘if that person doesn’t have my phone number then I don’t need to worry about their opinion,’” he says. Before a big match he eats a meal of pasta and chicken or steak, and does a lot of visualization, going though his first actions that could happen in a game. His typical day starts at 7 am, with basic rehab work to keep injuries at bay. Meetings, gym and training

If it was easy, everyone would do it. Resilience and being able to take criticism are key,” he says. James says covid is still prevalent in Ireland so they don’t have crowds at games. He is tested twice a week. His next goal is the 2023 world cup. If he wasn’t playing rugby he says he would be a pro golfer. Waimea Old Boys anniversary this weekend.

s w e N g n i h s Fi Now’s the time for some blue cod Dominik Berghamer With the recent cold weather the snapper have finally left the bay and taken off towards the deeper waters around d’Urville Island. Over the next months, target species in the shallower areas will be gurnard over the sand and tarakihi and blue cod over foul ground. Blue cod are amongst the most expensive fish to buy and the favourite eating fish for many New Zealanders. Rawaru – their name in te reo - are endemic to NZ and most commonly found from the southern tip of the North Islands southwards. They will try to eat anything that looks even remotely edible and are therefore very easy to catch. Together with the fact that they grow quite slowly this has led to a depletion of stocks in many areas and, in turn, to heavy restrictions when it comes to catching them. Currently you are allowed to keep 2 fish over 33cm per day in Tasman Bay. If you fish in the sounds be aware that there is a ban during the spawning season in spring. Speaking of spawning: Blue Cod can change their sex, and most females will become males at a certain point of their life - so most bigger fish will be boys! In rocky areas they are usually abundant, the higher the fishing

Starting this week you will notice us working on installing a new section of water main underneath the Three Brothers Corner intersection. We’ll be thrusting the new water pipe underground to cross the intersection, so we won’t need to close traffic lanes on the roundabout. However, our contractor will be working alongside the road on both corners of the Hope-side of the roundabout, so traffic cones will restrict lane widths, and detours for pedestrians and cyclists as well as reduced speed limits will be in place. We aim to finish the project by the end of 2021. We’ll do our best to minimise the disruption and appreciate everyone’s patience.

pressure the less legal sized fish will be amongst them. Fancy gear is unnecessary but to target the larger ones and to avoid catching and injuring a lot of small fish, use large circle hooks or artificial lures. Unbaited microjigs are my personal favourite, they seem to attract bigger cod and I don’t have to worry about smaller fish stealing my bait. Softbaits are less suited, blue cod tend to tear them to shreds very quickly. Tight lines!

NEWSLINE UPDATES

After six wins on the trot, Kahurangi’s unbeaten run in the Tasman Trophy has come to an end at the hands of defending champions Marist. Marist prevailed 21-18 at a sodden Trafalgar Park on Saturday afternoon. It was a dramatic end with Marist trying to kick to touch only for Sam Briggs to send the ball almost the length of the field toward to Kahurangi try-line. Fortunately, winger Douglas Fotheringham beat the Kahurangi chasers and brought an end to an enthralling contest. Skipper Jacob Norris says his heart was in his mouth after telling his first five to hoof the ball into the stands. “Sam definitely made it interesting for the fans in that final play!” The Mako flanker says they knew they were always in for a tough battle against the men from Motueka. Jacob says his lads dug deep. “We knew it was going to take the whole 80 minutes and the scoreboard reflected that.” Despite a tough run home, Jacob says his side

Tasman District Council and Nelson City Council have partnered with Baby On The Move Nelson in a campaign to ensure the region’s young people are travelling safely in cars in appropriate and correctly installed car seats.

Ice catches drivers out Icy road conditions have caught drivers out around Tasman much earlier this year, prompting a warning to all motorists. Crashes have been reported on the Motueka Valley Highway, Riwaka-Sandy Bay Road, Dovedale Road, Aniseed Valley Road and Mārahau Hill, fortunately none have involved serious injuries. Our Road Safety team is warning that the ice problem is likely to worsen as we move into the colder months of the year. Tasman Road Policing Team Leader Senior Sergeant Grant Andrews says the problem compounds when frost forms on top of existing ice patches, particularly in areas that don’t get sun during the day.

Over winter we all need to take extra care on our roads, and we have a couple of handy little tools to help with that. Come and pick up a free ice scraper and windscreen cloth from your local service centre – get in quick though, only while stock lasts.

Sunstrike causes crashes This time of year is the worst for sunstrike, particularly for vehicles travelling north towards Nelson in the early morning. Late in the day is also a hazardous time and it can hit on any road, especially when turning or driving towards the sun. Crashes happen when drivers don’t drop their speed to meet the conditions and then run into the back of slow or stationary vehicles. Tasman's Road Safety Team has a few tips to help drivers stay safe when the sun is at a low angle: • Keep your windscreen clean, inside, and out. Dust and grime on the windscreen can make the effects of sunstrike much worse.

• Saturday 5 June, 8.30 am – 3.00 pm (Sunday 6 June reserve day)

• Be careful if there has been recent rain – sunlight shining on wet roads can cause nasty reflections, similar to sunstrike.

For more details contact Jacob Lucas at Nelson Marlborough Fish & Game on 03 544 6382.

Bookings are essential. To book please call 03 547 2555, email nelson@babyonthemove.co.nz or send a Facebook message to Baby On The Move – Nelson.

Keep a clear windscreen

• Wear sunglasses when driving with the sun in your eyes.

• Saturday 17 July, 8.30 am – 3.00 pm (Sunday 18 July reserve day)

The qualified and experienced Child Restraint Technicians will help you understand how to continue using car seats safely for years to come.

Although our contractors have been spreading grit in the worst areas, drivers are being urged to slow down and drive to the conditions.

Public access to the eastern half of Moturoa/Rabbit Island will be closed on three days this winter while an organised game bird hunt takes place. Please note that the closure will include all of the beach front at the eastern end. This year the hunts will take place on the following dates:

• Saturday 19 June, 8.30 am – 3.00 pm (Sunday 20 June reserve day)

We will be providing free car seat checks and fittings for the month of June. Any car seat bought from any shop can be taken to Baby On The Move and they will check it and help you to achieve a safe and compliant installation.

• Use your car’s sun visors to block the sun. • If you experience sunstrike, it may be best to pull over and wait for a few minutes until your eyes adjust or visibility improves.

Wanderers Sports Club weekly round-up With both Taylors Wanderers Senior Men’s teams having the bye on Saturday, and the weather resulting in all Junior rugby being postponed, it was left to the 3Bee Women’s team as the sole club representatives as they travelled over to Spring Creek to do bat-

tle against Moutere Women. With a number of injuries and unavailabilities it was a weakened team that made the journey, and although well beaten at 51-7 the team fronted up and contributed to an entertaining game in difficult conditions, with rain throughout. As usual, Amanda Sim led from the front with reliable support from Alisi Seigafo, who scored Wanderers only try. Kate Asplet, Kate Nightengale, and Lise Kosmala all toiled away well, and Wanderers enjoyed some periods of dominance but were unable to increase the score, with the slippery underfoot

work, playing together and producing some surprisingly good play. The final score of 39-15 indicates the dominance by Waimea College over Nelson College Blue and, in scoring 7 tries, the determination and heart required to play in such challenging conditions. Both teams contributed to a fine contest, with the attitude of all players a pleasure to watch and both coaches and management should be applauded for the positivity that is brought to these teams. Although still struggling for numbers in this grade, Waimea College coach Craig Gosling was full

conditions limiting any opportunities for Michelle Miller-Leef to shine. Two willing teams produced an entertaining and enjoyable match and Wanderers will now rest and regroup until 12 June for the match against Waimea Old Boys. With the cancellation of all Junior Rugby games, only Age Grade School and College games were played and Waimea College Under 14s recorded their first win for the season, following three earlier losses. In very inclement conditions, solid rain throughout and freezing cold conditions, the team displayed solid team-

of praise and pride for his charges, welcoming Taine Collins from Tapawera for his first run with the team. Skipper Jackson Gosling led by example with strong running and solid tackling, plus excellent motivational leadership resulting in two tries. He was ably supported by William Stilwell who also ran hard and straight, constantly challenging the Nelson College defence but rock solid on defence himself. William also contributed two tries in a good performance. Further tries were scored by Ryan Campbell, Seth Judge and Jerome Sinclair.
