High speed is a risk for local families Bruno Saia Reporter

bruno@waimeaweekly.co.nz

A total of 61 crashes were registered on State Highway 6 (SH6), between Richmond and Wakefield, in the last five years. This makes that section of the

road the most dangerous in the Tasman district. The Coastal Highway (State Highway 60 - SH60), to Motueka, is the second, with 43 crashes registered in the same period. Further along State Highway 60, near Riwaka, 11 more accidents were recorded. On these two sections, 115 crash-

es were registered between 20142019. In the whole district, during the same period, there were 194 fatal and/or serious crashes. Travel speed was a factor that contributed to 44 of those crashes, which represents 23% of the total registered in the Tasman District. All the numbers were provided

by the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) and they have a direct influence on the lives of the people who live in those areas. “Everyone in the neighbourhood has their own horror story to tell,” says Derek Liddington who has been living with his family within the 100km/h Main Road Hope area for the last seven years.

“It’s got to the stage where it’s just getting worse and worse. Entering and exiting the property, particularly during peak hours and crossing the road, especially for school children, are very risky activities which we have to face daily,” he says.

New sponsor for Trolley Derby race Staff Reporter The iconic Trolley Derby event has a new sponsor. The Sprig & Fern have aquired the naming rights for next year’s Trolley Derby on 22 February. It will be held on Queen St in Richmond. The Sprig & Fern Trolley Derby 2020 celebrates the making and racing of trolleys. There is a huge emphasis on families, with grandparents, fathers, mothers, sons and daughters getting together to construct their trolleys each year. The Trolley Derby is still seeking further race sponsors. There are a few available trolleys that can be branded up and raced by companies, organisations, sports groups or schools. More information is available on the Trolley Derby website www. nelsontrolleyclub.co.nz.

In some places, yes. For example, the Appleby junction reduction to 80km has made it safer to get out but in other places it’s unnecessary.

Yes, I went on-line to vote and posted my selections. The road to the Sounds is particularly dangerous with the gravel and the number of tourists.

Yes, the area has become busier with tourism and other people making mistakes.

Speed limits aren’t really the problem in my opinion, it’s the irresponsible drivers.

High speed is a risk for local families

Derek Liddington lives with his family on Main road Hope (State Highway 6) and he has gathered almost 600 signatures for a petition to reduce the speed from 100km/h to 80km/h. Photo: Bruno Saia.

froM PAGE 1 A petition with 574 signatures was presented to the NZTA early this year to reduce the speed from 100km/h to 80km/h. “As a group we contacted them and they advised that there would be some consultation going forward, so this is good news,” says Derek. The NZTA is currently working towards speed review consultations this year along SH6, Upper Takaka to Takaka, as well as from Hope to Wakefield. The speed review for SH6 on the section that runs from Hope to Wakefield may start this year with full formal consultation. The proposal will be to reduce the speed from 100km/h to 80km/h.

“It’s great to hear that it’s coming through,” says Derek. “The agency has kept us well informed throughout the process, but it’s terrific for all the residents to finally hear that something is being done to consider the impact on our neighbourhood from the current posted speed limit” he says. “We recognize that this change may have an impact on those living outside this area, who just travel through it, but something must be done to recognise the increase in traffic volumes before the worst imaginable outcome can occur here, which is only a matter of time if nothing changes,” says Derek.

Mayoral race - On your marks, get set... Steve Page Publisher, Waimea Weekly

Tim King

Maxwell Clarke

Brent Maru

It’s now time to cast your vote for the local elections. Now if you are the same as the rest of New Zealand most of you won’t or can’t be bothered. We urge you to be bothered and vote! We need a good and fair council led by an able and great mayor. We have 4 candidates for this role so here is how we see the breakdown. Let’s be very clear from the start, we are not telling you which way to vote. That is your privilege but what we are trying to do is deal with the realities that are going to make a difference. Let’s have a look. We have the existing deputy mayor Tim King. There’s no doubt he’s exiting mayor Richard Kempthorne’s choice to take over the role. Strengths? He is a very experienced councillor of many years and a huge supporter of the community. He is a damn hard worker. He takes an active role in Wanderers rugby and sport and farms a

block out Brightwater way. He is married with two boys who are in their late teen years. He is not confrontational and is incredibly honest. We have found him to be very approachable, very likeable and very common-sense driven. Cons? He is in danger of being too far into the council culture to make any difference with some important issues that may require a different to usual approach. His strengths are as a worker more than a front person who may require sparkly teeth and million-dollar smile. Basically, it boils down to if you as a rate-payer want more of the same and you are happy with the status quo with the council, then vote Tim. He will be unlikely to instigate any huge changes. Next in line is Maxwell Clarke. Max and his wife live down Lower Queen St on a small block and Max runs an ambulance service that attends a number of sporting and public events. Max has been around councils and their

environments for several years and has a pretty good, if not somewhat unorthodox, interaction with our local one. There is no doubt he does know what he’s talking about and often makes life hell for any shy councillor or associate. Max would certainly liven things up and has a very strong focus on individual’s responsibilities, especially when spending public money. In fact, Max is a bugger for asking tricky questions. Cons. He may upset a few councillors and staff if he gets elected with his raw approach and has been accused of not being all that subtle. He can sometimes take on too much to his own detriment but is always up front. Another super honest, hard-working guy. Like a dog with a bone, he often won’t give up. Brent Maru. Brent although well known in Motueka is not so well known here. We as a newspaper have had the privilege of knowing him for over 15 years though. He and his wife live in Motueka with

their two younger children and Brent has worked for Sport Tasman under Richard Kempthorne’s steerage. He, is again, one of the worlds nice guys to the point of almost appearing naive. He truly loves his community and is actively involved in a lot of events and sporting fixtures. He is a quiet, soft-spoken guy who does understand and gets what is going on around us. Cons. We would love to see Brent become a councillor and deputy mayor first. He would be fantastic. He would also get the experience that is needed to lead a council team. Maybe it’s a little early to try out for the big job, however he could manage it with some help should he be successful. He should poll highest in the Motueka ward but drop in Richmond area and south. Dean McNamara. Hard to take this guy seriously, little is known and apart from waving a sandwich board on Gladstone Road, he remains basically unseen. Not mayor material in anyone’s dreams.

A change to our voting system? Susan Johnson Tasman voters will need to vote on whether to use Single Transferable Vote (STV) in the 2022 election. Over 5% of the electorate supported a petition to allow for a vote on whether to introduce the system instead of the existing First Past the Post (FPP) method. STV means that each voter votes once but also indicates their preferences for more than one candidate by numbering them. Example: You are going to vote candidate X first because that’s your favourite, but you also like candidates Y and Z. Your first choice becomes number one on the voting form and the others are 2 and 3, and so forth. When several elimination steps are needed to identify a successful candidate, numbered preferences means that votes can be transferred. It gets a bit more complicated when it comes to counting up the votes so that’s done by a computer, but candidates have to reach an absolute majority to become elected.

Major mayoral issues Mothers and children Bruno Saia and Susan Johnson

Tim King

The TDC (Tasman District Council) mayoral elections are coming and the Waimea Weekly editorial team decided to ask some of our readers: What is a significant issue the new TDC mayor should focus on? We had four main subjects pointed out by our readers and all four candidates made a 100-word comment about each of them. Infrastructure, the Waimea Community Dam and environmental issues are the subjects which the candidates have already addressed. The answers were all published in the Waimea Weekly. The postal voting and special votes are open until 12 October.

Our population is growing very fast and that certainly brings challenges, however Council can’t stop people wanting to move to the region. In 20 years time I hope Richmond offers a range of housing options and employment opportunities that includes a thriving sustainable horticulture industry on the Waimea Plains; that it’s connected to Nelson and the wider region by a high-quality network of roads and other transport options; that its residents have easy access to great public spaces in the town itself, the surrounding foothills, rivers and coast, and that because it’s still a beautiful region to live in people continue to want to move here.

The population is increasing too fast. Look into the future and ask the question “what do we want Richmond to look like in 20 years time?” Megan Wright (Richmond).

Brent Maru

timbking4@gmail.com

brentmaru@gmail.com Tasman is in a high growth period and it is easy to see why people would want to live here. The challenge ahead is two-

fold. How do we protect the lifestyle and sense of community we all cherish, whilst managing growth. The protection of productive land is essential and how and where we build new homes for people has to evolve. I seek a future where we have a high level of ‘community’, we are connected and support one another and, equally as important, our long-term residents can afford to live in this wonderful place.

Maxwell Clark medimax@xtra.co.nz Focus back to promoting community well-being, (social, economic, cultural and environmental) now and for the future. We must invest in infrastructure that is fit for purpose. That the council shows greater leadership and work together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We need to look at innovative ways to improve services and be willing to use new technology. Communication is the KEY.

for the environment Bruno Saia Mothers marched with their children through Queen Street on Friday as a sign of support for the ‘School Strike 4 Climate New Zealand’. Named as ‘Tasman Millions of Mothers’ (MoM), the group went from Sundial Square to the Tasman District Council (TDC) to deliver an open letter to the councillors. “Our youth is striking all around the world today and they are really scared about their future and about climate breakdown, and as parents we are quite worried about the future of our children as well”, says Olivia Hyatt, climate scientist who lives in Richmond and is a mother of two. “We are also here to show support to our council and the direction they are going, but we also believe they could do more and that’s why we are delivering a letter, which will be received by Trevor Tuffnell, representing the council,” she says. I’m here today because I care about my future,” says 16-year old student Marama StanbridgeBrien. “It’s great for us younger kids to have a voice and to have an input to our future.”

Local lavender oil gets nine national awards Bruno Saia The ‘Simpatico Lavender and Rosemary’ won nine of 12 awards from the New Zealand Lavender Growers Association awards night (NZLGA) held in Wellington. “Our business normally does well in these competitions, but this year we won nine awards out of twelve and that’s almost unheard of,” says Eloise Kelly, manager of her family’s farm in Brightwater. They are BioGro, organically certified lavender and saffrongrowers. BioGro has been New Zealand’s leading organic certifier since 1983 and it gives consumers trust in the mark of a genuine organic product. Eloise says the pride with which products are produced creates a superior product. “I think it’s the time and care we put into our product and that it is organic. Mum has done a lot of research. Lots of different elements make good oil. It can be the weather, the soil and we are also lucky for where we are. Everything contributes, really.” The whole farm is BioGro certified

and it also produces good quality saffron, through the brand ‘Saffron Wonder’. “My parents bought the property about 12 years ago. Their dream was always to be organic. Unfortunately, Dad passed away in 2009. So mum was left thinking ‘what do I do now?” she says. Their first production was a good quality saffron and it led to the lavender.They planted the lavender around the saffron areas as a natural pest controller against the rabbits which were a big problem. “Then we had a friend who had a cosmetic company and she said: ‘I like your lavender plants and if you make it into oil, I’ll buy the oil from you’. “So we did that, and then we got in touch with the Lavender Growers Association, and they’ve been fantastic,” says Eloise. Eloise is now proudly one of the association judges and is pleased to advise another step forward for the industry locally. “The NZLGA is holding a conference in Nelson in August 2020,” she says.

Richmond A&P Show turns 125 Susan Johnson

It was soon after Kirstan Robinson started working at the A & P Showgrounds that the idea of a book was formed. She was collating old photos and saw one of the grandstand (photo) which did not look at all like the present one. “I like a mystery and it started with trying to find out what happened to the first grandstand.” she says.

The old grandstand burnt down in March 1917. “I felt they (the photos) had so much to tell, that people would like to hear about the history of their showground.” For example, at the end of the Spanish flu outbreak of 1918 the newly re-built grandstand was used as a temporary hospital to care for about 30 cases cared for by a retired nurse. So that year’s

show needed to be delayed until the following February and then the normal November show was held, so 1919 was the year two shows were held. “I realised I wouldn’t be able to put all the 125 years of history in but tried to put in as much as possible,” says Kirstan. One of the photos she found is the commemoration ceremony of the entrance gates the year the

then president, Dr. Washbourne, died. From The Country to The Town will be available from October (limited pre-general release sales) with general release in November. Email Kirstan for information at advertising@richmondpark.nz Kirstan is already planning her next book which she would like to reflect how people felt about the showgrounds and the shows.

It will be a collection of photos, so she’s asking people to find any old pictures taken at the showgrounds and they can drop them in to the Waimea Weekly office (open 8:30-4:30) or to take them in on the day of the show. These will be displayed at the show in November along with some from the archives and there will be a book for people to write their memories in.

Safety on the road at bikers’ brunch Steve Page Over 500 motorcyclists and their bikes turned up to Filco Farm and Sports and Ride to Live’s “Bikers Brunch” expo held at the dealership on Sunday. Both ACC and the Councils were also present offering free motorcycling safety courses which a number of bikers took up. Dealer Principle Dave Filer was rapt with the turnout. “We certainly got a great cross-section of riders. We saw a lot of our new Harley customers and there was also a great turnout from the Triumph boys! “Ducati and the vintage riders were also well represented and it gave us all a great opportunity to chat with the motorcycling fraternity on a social basis. I was also happy to

see the dirt boys turn up and take part,” Dave said. Part of the attraction was the show and shine where local riders get their bikes polished up and present them for judging. Although strictly on a casual basis a lot take it seriously and Filco Farm and Sport supplied some great prizes for the weekend winners. Tasman District Council’s Road Safety Liaison Megan Bell was also very pleased with the turnout. “This gives us as a Council a great chance to mingle with the people we are focusing on getting our safety message to. In partnership with ACC we are offering these courses in our region for free. We had a good interest level, so we hope our message that we want to keep our riders safe is getting through,” she said.

MAXWELL CLARK 4 MAYOR TASMAN Focus - Fresh Approach - Community Involvement

U I am Maxwell Clark, a long time Resident of Richmond and foundation pupil of Henley school, and went to Waimea Intermediate and Waimea College. I am a father, grand-father.

U I am the Managing Director of MediMax Ambulance Services and work in the Health sector, caring for people as both an Intensive Care Paramedic and a Registered Nurse.

U It is time for a new Mayor to take Tasman forward whilst at the same time respecting and protecting our Districts many treasures and businesses.

U I want to Head a Council that listen to you the people and encourages more ratepayer participation

U For me to do this, I need you to let me know what you need U I will retain all Council owned Pensioner Housing which currently operates with a small profit and build two new community housing units per year WE MUST DO BETTER

U We have one of the highest rates and the highest reticulated water changes in the country. U The Council borrowing (debt) as at 28th February 2019 was $195.5 million (gross debt). U This year the Council is going to increase your rates by 2.74% plus growth of between 1.2% and 1.3% TOTAL = 4% Rate increase (approx).

U When you consider that the cost of living in NZ is 1.9% this year our rates are excessive, it’s time to live within our means.

U Rates are set each year by the Individual Council Departments by bringing their budgets together for approval and then the rates are set for the coming year. MY WAY FORWARD IS:

U Using one department this year as an example: U Engineers Department: This department has a yearly capital works programme for Engineering Services to provide services to the public such as footpaths, stormwater, roading etc. This year 30% of the approval and funded works programme which your rates paid for last year… was never undertaken.

shown by the residents, it was another successful visit. His visit brought back memories for many residents for whom horses were the transport of choice when they were young. “I remember going to school on horseback” said Mary Sandlant, who turns 100 in December. But Eleena does more than visit retirement villages. She provides therapy riding on a one-to-one basis. “I had a seri-

ous riding accident when I was younger which I’m still having surgery for. Despite that, I know myself how much benefit can be gained from riding a horse. On a lovely day we’ll go down the hill to Ruby Bay and along the beach, it’s great a boost, physically and mentally.” She does it all on her own and asks only for donations.

Bruno Saia A group of children have been improving the quality of life for the residents of the Stillwater Retirement Village. The children from The Tree House Early Learning Centre visit the seniors every Friday for singing, playing and having fun. “The children are always excited to visit the residents each

week to join in with their fitness activities, dance and interact with them. I can see the joy and happiness the children and residents get from their interactions. Some of the residents have mentioned to me that our visits are the highlight of their week. I love how the children and residents are establishing a connection through our weekly visit. It makes my heart

so happy,” says Abbie Palmer, teacher at The Tree House. “Most residents don’t get to see their grandkids because they don’t live in the same town, so seeing the young ones in here is very good for them,” says Fiona Braid from the Village. “The residents do feel younger. Some are feeling quite down and the children come here and it cheers them up.”

Salisbury School farewells principal job. Chair of the school’s Board of Trustees, Emma Thompson, says Brenda’s passion, commitment and superb leadership skills have navigated the school through some impressive achievements and some difficult times. “We’re really proud of what Salisbury has achieved in recent years, and much of this can be attributed to Brenda’s guidance and dedication to the school and its students,” she says. “Most recently, we achieved ERO’s highest rating, which is undoubtedly due to Brenda’s leadership. She has embedded her vision to provide an ‘extraordinary’ experience for our students, and this is obvious in the wide range of academic and recreational programmes and activities the girls have access to at the school. “We’re all sorry to see Brenda go and would like to thank her for her service to the school, the families and most importantly, the students.” Brenda says she has loved her time at the helm. “I will look back with fondness and pride at all we have achieved together in our

‘Look 4 a Book’ comes to town Kids’ Voice

Sara Hollyman

A local teacher has taken it upon herself to get more kids away from screens and into reading books, and her classroom is right behind her. Mapua School teacher Theresa Shepherd has launched the ‘New Zealand Look 4 a Book’ Facebook page, which is quickly spreading across the country. Believed to be the first of its kind in New Zealand, the idea of the movement is to place a book inside a sealed bag, along with a note congratulating the scavenger on their find. Then participants hide the book in a public location, whether it be a park, playground or coffee shop. Children are encouraged to read the book and then rehide it for somebody else. Theresa says the idea came from a similar programme in East Yorkshire and says the movement is growing quickly. “Last year I went training for reading recovery and I really

Nicola Cocks, 6 “We thought that kids could smarten their brains up by reading books and making up fun ideas and make their brains spark.” Paddy Audrins, 6 “I like hiding them and trying to find them, but so other people can listen to other books so they don’t watch on phones, iPads, computers and TVs.” Willow Emmanuel, 7 “That people can get entertained by imagination in their mind and they don’t have to just be going on phones and screens. We don’t want people just to have boring stuff all around in their mind thinking about one thing, we want other people to have all sorts of stuff in their mind.”

I’m not a Kindle lover, I like turning pages and I like the smell of books, and I really just want the kids and adults to come away from the computer screen and just get involved in a book and just enjoy.” She says her class at Mapua School, Kowhai, are enjoying

hiding huge numbers of books around the community. “I love the fact that people are making their own little signs to put into the bags and their own little touches, it’s really exciting. It’s a buzz, the Kowhai really want to get in there with me and take it further.” Theresa hopes the idea will

Local Pastor visits Seasonal Workers During August local Church of Christ Pastor Steve Rollo visited Vanuatu to meet families of RSE (Seasonal workers) families. In recent years more and more RSE Seasonal workers have been arriving in the Tasman area to work on local orchards and farms. Many workers from Vanuatu can often be seen at local supermarkets each evening and Richmond Church of Christ members have used this op-

portunity to get to know some of them, inviting them to church, having meals and just making sure they have all they need. Through these connections, Pastor Steve Rollo joined two other local church members, Stu White and Ron Bergman, to visit villages and meet the families of RSE workers, and took the opportunity to learn about their culture and look at ways they could assist with projects. Pastor Steve has seen first-hand the difference that RSE work makes as seasonal workers return home with funds to pay for children’s education, build houses, and help villages with projects like providing water, medical centres, and often being able to start a small business. Richmond Church of Christ has partnered with a village in building a new church which will also serve as emergency shelter for their area, and helped provide much needed medical items to a local doctor working in isolated villages, also providing schoolbooks and sports equipment for village schools.

Just a thought... Dave Harris Christians Against Poverty Going, going, gone, 2019! My grandmother used to say, "where has the year gone?" Yet for me, it seemed like eternity til the school holidays came. With three quarters of 2019 done and dusted, where has it gone?, and what will it be remembered for? Fires, Droughts, Climate change, End of Life Choice Bill, Mosque Attacks, Water dams, Suicide rates. In life, there is so much for us to worry about. For many in our community, putting food on the table or knowing you will have a house to rent next week are more immediate needs. One of this year's highlights for us was having friends stay for ten days after they had been evacuated from their house during the February fire. A middle age version of ‘Friends’ was fun and refreshing. I acknowledge the situation was potentially devastating but in reality, it was all out of their hands and ours. Similarly, we

were away at a wedding when we heard of the Mosque attack in Christchurch and the sad news of so many needless deaths. Once again, out of our hands. Since becoming a Christian, I’ve taken comfort in the words of Jesus: “In this world you will have trouble but I have overcome this world.” John 17:33. Or Matthew 6:34: “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough troubles of its own.” Or Luke 12:25: “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?” So, I now know to expect that life will be tough, that there will be days when things don’t go to my plan. My Dad recently passed away earlier than either

Dave Harris of us would have liked and my mother has had dementia for nine years now and is no longer the mother I knew. Is worrying going to change things? No! Memories are special in these circumstances, so as the year winds down let us think about how we can make memories for ourselves, our neighbours and our community.

From 11am to 2pm, Monday to Friday, during the school holidays (now until the 11th of October) your arty kids can get creative at Richmond Mall. Down the food court end of the mall an arts and crafts room has been set up and two helpers, Katie Barnett and Cassidy De-Clercq, have been provided. The children can move from table to table doing each activity and can stay as long as it takes to finish each one.

“The plywood supplied for the Christmas decorations is environmentally-friendly” says mall manager Belinda De-Clercq “and the pens and glitter the children use are all child-safe” Parents with children under 5 years must stay and chairs have been provided. Cody Dudley says, “It’s arty and crafty and I like that”. Sisters Ivy and Lorna Dittmer thought it was fun. Ivy, (5) says “I like art” and Lorna (3), added “I like putting glitter on things.” It was their first time there and Mum thinks it’s a great idea.

Spring seed saving and seed swap Pania Walton Spring is upon us and it’s time to start thinking about planning and growing your garden. Ami from the Nelson Seed Library will be visiting Richmond Library to run a free seed swap and seed saving workshop. The Nelson Seed Library at Elma Turner Library in Nelson is the

first public seed library in the top of the South Island. They have over 200 varieties of seed in the collection, mostly made up of edibles but with a growing collection of ornamentals, natives and a few exotic species. The idea is that people can take seeds away, grow them, take some for a harvest and save some for seed, which is then returned to the li-

Suter celebrates 120 years Kate Russell

The Suter Art Gallery is having a birthday party this weekend. The public open day is on this Saturday, 5 October, from 10.30am and visitors will be served birthday cake and cups of tea. There are also limited places on a revealing ‘behind the scenes’ tour, which departs at midday for only $20 per person or $15 for Friends of The Suter. And, as a birthday gift to art lovers, at 2pm, there will be a special presentation from the Suter’s Gallery team. The Suter Memorial Art Gallery was opened in 1899 as a memorial to the second Bishop of Nelson, Andrew Burn Suter. Bishop Suter and his wife Amelia travelled to Nelson in 1867 and, in addition to his official duties, the Bishop established the Bishopdale

Sketching Club, now the Nelson Suter Arts Society. Amelia left the building of a gallery in the hands of the founding Board of Trustees, comprising leading figures in Nelson society. In 1899 the ‘Bishop Suter Art Gallery’ designed by Frederick de Jersey Clere (1856-1952) was opened alongside the old Matthew Campbell School. In 2007 it was designated as a Category II Heritage Building. It is three years since The Suter Art Gallery reopened after an extensive $12 million redevelopment project, which shows the beautiful early architectural features while still incorporating 21st century elements. New galleries were added, along with an education room and enhanced storage facilities and staff work areas. The Suter Art Gallery is at 208 Bridge Street, in Nelson.

Mako make a statement Jonty Dine and Peter Jones The Tasman Mako have declared themselves firm favourites to take out the Mitre 10 Cup premiership after humbling the defending champions 40-0 at home on Friday. Auckland had no answers for a clinical Mako performance in a six try demolition in Nelson. The rout completed the Mako’s eighth win to kick off its 2019 campaign, the best start in the franchise’s history. The Mako struck first in trademark style as Andrew Makalio rumbled over on the back of a rampaging rolling maul. The second came soon after as David Havili cut the Auckland line to shreds and linked up with the ever-present Ethan Blackadder who waltzed in under the sticks. Tasman survived a sustained period of pressure, held Auckland over the line, saw Wyatt Crockett sin binned for repeated scum infringements and then stretched its advantage with a third. After setting up the attack with a pilfer Richie McCaw would applaud, Leicester Faingaanuku finished off a superb set piece move

to put the Mako ahead 19-0. The hosts continued the momentum after the break, Finlay Christie scoring the bonus point with a typically sneaky try. The points kept flowing with Mitch Hunt looking certain to kick for touch, the fly half took a quick tap and the Mako set a maul five metres out which was never going to be stopped as Sione Havili bagged a fifth for Tasman. Tasman piled on the punishment as replacement hooker Hugh Roach went in to cap a sensational Tasman victory. Mako assistant coach Shane Christie said his side were well aware they would need to lift their game against a dangerous Auckland outfit. “We put a big emphasis on getting some areas back that we may have lost in the last couple of weeks, when we get pushed we can really turn it up.” Although the Mako are assured of a home semi-final to be played in Blenheim, likely on Saturday, October 19, Christie suggests it will be business as usual prior to that. Next on the Mako menu is Northland, who come to Nelson on Sunday with a 2.05pm kickoff.

The quest for the All Black jersey Jacob Page The Nelson region has had many brushes with All Blacks greats, almost greats and those players who got close to the black jersey before Tasmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crop of 2019 All Blacks like Atu Moli, who starts at prop tonight against Canada in Japan, and Shannon Frizell. The amalgamated union of Marlborough and Nelson Bays has had a part in producing nine All Blacks in their 13-year existence. Rico Gear, Wyatt Crockett, Liam Squire, Kane Hames, Tim Perry, David Havili, Atu Moli, Shannon Frizell and Tyrel Lomax. Precious few have been home grown products however, that number is set to rise in the coming years. Havili, a Nelson-born lad, has had five tests for the All Blacks since 2017. Before the formation of the Tasman Mako in 2006, Nelson Bays had produced two All Blacks in wing Rico Gear, who played for Nelson Bays in 2005 and Tasman in 2006, and fullback Trevor Morris, who represented Golden Bay, Motueka and Nelson Bays in the 1960s and 70s. Morris played 23 games for the All Blacks between 1972 and 73, including three internation-

Gear made 20 appearances for the All Blacks between 2004 and 2007, mostly on the wing, and scored 13 tries. Many talented former players have also had a brush with the region during their playing days. Takaka product Terry Mitchell played 17 games on the wing for New Zealand, including an international, between 1974 and 1976.

Former All Black captain and Crusaders coach Todd Blackadder took up a welding job in Collingwood after leaving Rangiora High School and played agegroup rugby for Nelson Bays. Blackadder made his senior provincial debut in 1990 for Nelson Bays against Marlborough. Former Mako scrumhalf Kahn Fotualiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;i made 38 appearances for Nelson Bays and Tasman between 2004 and 2009 before beginning his international career

with Samoa in 2011. Murray Henderson had been selected for an All Blacks trial in 1986 before a knee injury would rob him of the opportunity to press his claims for the inaugural World Cup 12 months later. The Manawatu flanker would come to Nelson Bays in 1992 to an unbeaten season in the third division of provincial rugby. Former Crusaders prop Con Barrell, who toured with the All Blacks in 1996 and 1997 spent a

Nelson-born No 8 Mark Bright who was one of the mainstays of early Tasman Mako teams went on to represent England at sevens at the 2014 Commonwealth Games. Current Canterbury captain and Nelson College product Mitchell Drummond made his year debut last year against Japan, a lone test appearance for the 25-yearold who still has plenty more rugby in him. Waimea Old Boys product James Lowe had a breakthrough final season in New Zealand rugby for the Chiefs in 2016. On the cusp of All Black selection, the community-minded winger, who was a regular spectator at Jubilee Park signed a deal with Leinster effectively ending his own chances at a black jersey even though the Nelson-born flyer is still only 27-years-old. Wyatt Crockett had a distinguished All Blacks career where he made 71 appearances before deciding to retire from international rugby and play out the rest of his career for his home province the Tasman Mako in 2018. Crockett attended Nelson College until 2000.

Nelson matters

Jetstar’s decision to end its regional services from November 30 to centres like Nelson is a concerning blow to our local economy. My worry is that reduced competition will see airfares rise. We should not underestimate how important affordable air links are for Nelson. We are a geographically isolated region but our well located airport and frequent flights has given us a competitive advantage. We have much better air services than any other city of our size. The benefits have not just been for Nelsonians own private travel. The competitive airfares have helped make us an attractive des-

tination for our $400 million a year tourism sector. The quality of air services has also made Nelson a hub for hundreds of small professional service businesses that work all over New Zealand and contribute much to our local economy. Jetstar’s demise can be put down to three factors. These regional services started out in 2014 as part of the intense Trans-Tasman rivalry between Air NZ and Qantas. These airlines entered into a code share agreement last year reducing the flow of passengers from Jetstar’s owner, Qantas. Secondly, tourism and the NZ economy is slowing due to poor

Government policy and global uncertainty. The third contributor has been the rise in the cost of fuel. Nelson has been through this competitive cycle before in air services. We had cut throat competition between Origin Pacific and Air NZ from 1997 to 2006 that saw unsustainable low airfares. Costs crept up until Jetstar re-entered the market in 2014. Cut price fares like recent Jetstar specials of $30 could never last. Nelson needs stable, affordable fares that can be sustained. I am a loyalist to Air NZ as it way out class’s most international airlines for service and innovation.

544 Waimea Road, Nelson

The local Air NZ airport staff and flight crew give excellent service. Air NZ showed the right culture in offering to pick up displaced Jetstar bookings. I encourage Air NZ to be extra careful with its pricing and service standards with the return to having a near monopoly in Nelson. Any arrogance will result in a backlash from customers and its majority shareholder, the NZ public. I will not hesitate to lodge a Commerce Commission complaint if I see evidence of price gouging. We are fortunate, unlike other centres losing Jetstar, to have a check on Air NZ with Sounds Air. It is a good service that I use

when the times suit. We need to consciously choose to give Sounds Air a share of our business so as to keep some competitive pressure on Air NZ. I am also hopeful that Origin may re-enter the market. This month Nelson’s new airport terminal will be completed. This is a project I have long advocated for and of which our Airport Company has done a superb job of delivering. Despite the loss of Jetstar, I remain confident about the future of Nelson’s aviation industry and its continued growth. My job will be to help keep Nelson’s air services affordable and competitive.
