School funding gap creates frustration Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

New school spending data reveals the “huge” funding gap between what is provided by the Government and what is required by

schools to operate a modern curriculum, a local principal says. The recently-released data comes from spending details for every Government-funded school in New Zealand in 2017, the most recent year for which information is available. In the last five years, Waimea

College in Richmond went from spending $12.8 to $14.2 million. That’s a $1.4 million increase from 2012 to 2017. In comparison with other large schools nearby, Waimea College sits comfortably. The biggest increase in spending comes from Nelson College for

Girls, whose spending went from $10.4 million in 2012 to $12.2 million in 2017, a $1.8 million increase. Nelson College went from $12.9 - $13.9 million, Nayland College from $10.3 - $11.2 million. Waimea College principal Scott Haines says that Waimea College

‘I always try to carry a small compact bag with me, so that I always have something if I need it. It hasn’t really been a big change.’

“I’ve got lots of reuseable bags, and I use boxes too. Something had to be done, and I’m glad we’ve all made the change.’

“We’ve started using breadbags and veggie bags for rubbish bin liners. I don’t really see the ban as a big deal. It’s a good idea.’

Leshana Vanderpole, Upper Moutere ‘I’ve been using reuseabe bags for a while. It’s a really positive change and I think lots of people have got behind it.”

School funding gap creates frustration FROM PAGE 1 grew by 10% and our international student roll grew by 36%. That 10.9% increase in spending during this period directly reflects the college’s response to our growing roll.” Other significant board funded projects during this period include the refurbishment of the Technology block, and the development of a new Performing Arts Specialist Teaching Space. These projects have been enabled largely because of income generated from our International Student Programme. These projects were undertaken as a way to enable the continued growth of the school. Local principals believe that

there is a large funding gap between what is provided by the government and what schools need to operate. In May’s budget, the Government announced that from next year, decile 1 to 7 schools that did not ask parents for voluntary donations would receive $150 per student in additional funding. Waimea College is a decile 8 school, one of the highest in the region. The data shows that Waimea College, the largest school in the region with a roll of 1573, raised $172,486 locally from donations - 1.2 percent of the total amount spent. Nayland College, with a roll of 930, raised $110,044 locally in donations – 1 percent of the total amount spent. Nelson Col-

lege for Girls, with a roll of 1078, raised $104,014 locally from donations - 0.9 percent of their total amount spent. Scott Haines says that Waimea College is somewhat frustrated with the government’s announcement. “As a decile 8 school, Waimea College is not able to access the approximate $230,000 of resource that this would attract, and as a result we will continue to need to request donations from our parent community in order for us to continue to provide the rich and diverse curricular and extra-curricular experiences enjoyed by our students.” Waimea College board chairperson Nathan Davis has created a petition

requesting that the House of Representatives review school funding changes in Budget 2019, “to provide this level of funding equitably across all schools.” Nayland College principal Daniel Wilson also says they will be worse off if they agree to drop parent donations in exchange for the $150 payment. “We have calculated we would lose about $100k in funding by opting into the new model. In order to gain this funding, we will have to remove curriculum opportunities such as outdoor education, geography and history field trips, as we currently ask parents for a contribution towards these activities,” he says. “The students will miss out.”

Work begins for new supermarket

Work is now underway for the much-anticipated new Countdown supermarket being built in Richmond, at the roundabout that sits on the corner of Champion and Salisbury roads. Last year the Tasman District Council approved a plan change request from Woolworths New Zealand,

the parent company of Countdown, to rezone 1.3 ha of land from residental to commerical. An intersection upgrade is also planned. The current businesses, G Miller and Son and Waimea Richmond Funeral Services, are moving further up Champion Road and the first part of

clearing the site is the relocation of one of the buildings, a large, double-bay garage. Local company Lift and Shift were trusted with the task and a team of workman successfully moved it on Monday afternoon, being the first part of the process to add the Countdown Supermarket to the corner.

Time’s up for plastic bags Matt McCrorie Reporter

matt@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Plastic bags are now a thing of the past. The phase out of plastic bags was announced by the government on August 10, 2018, in response to a public desire for the government to look after the environment and safeguard New Zealand’s ‘clean green’ reputation. As of Monday, it’s now illegal for retailers to give out single use plastic bags. That includes supermarket carry bags, plastic takeaway bags and retail bags. The new ban applies to all plastic shopping bags under 70 microns. Retailers and other businesses have had six months to prepare for the ban, and while retailers caught giving out plastic

bags could face a fine of up to $100,000, the ministry for the environment says that, in practice, the policy will be to educate shop owners before they start penalising anyone. For the time being, supermarket vegetable bags and bin liners will still be allowed. The ministry says that by November last year, just months after the ban was announced, more than 50 per cent of New Zealander’s were already using their own reusable shopping bags. Retailers and supermarkets quickly followed the lead, with Fresh Choice Richmond taking on the change as soon as they could. Gary Watson, owner of Fresh Choice Richmond, said that the change from plastic bags to a mixture of reusable bags and pa-

per bags has been fantastic. “People really got on board with it straight away,” Gary says. The local supermarket ditched plastic bags last year, seizing the opportunity after they used up the plastic bags they already had. “We used up what we had, and just decided that we would make the change then and there, rather than ordering more and waiting for the new law to come through.” “There have been little to no complaints. It’s just normal now.” Gary said that seeing the customer’s make the effort really made them certain that they were doing the right thing for their shoppers, and the environment. “The support has really been overwhelming.”

O’Connor backs mental health spotlight for Tasman region Jacob Page West Coast-Tasman MP and Minister for Agriculture, Damien O’Connor, has backed the government on its desire to tackle mental health as a priority - particularly in rural areas. For too long we’ve tackled mental health or addiction only when it becomes a crisis. “People across the Tasman region are self-sufficient and resilient, but we’ve long known that rural mental health deserves much greater attention and support,” he said in a statement. “That’s why, this month, you saw the Government make the largest-ever investment in mental health.” In 2014, the economic cost of serious mental illness alone was $12 billion, or five per cent of GDP. “We’re also investing in health across the board. We’re also fixing our rotting hospitals, we’re better funding DHBs, we’re better funding our ambulance service and we’re increasing funding to PHARMAC. “We understand that while

taking mental health seriously an important step, rural wellbeing is about more than just access to services. For com-

Damien O’Connor munities like Golden Bay and Tasman to thrive, we need sustainable industry, and jobs for our young people,” he says With Field Days taking place this month, he says there will

be a national spotlight on the rural economy and wellbeing. “Agriculture plays a big part in New Zealand’s well-being – it’s the engine room of our economy. “Through the Well-being Budget, this Government is supporting the agricultural sector with a $122 million injection over four years to support the on-farm changes required to use land more sustainably while growing productivity.” This is part of the $229 million sustainable land use budget package. “This is on top of the work we’ve undertaken to eradicate M. bovis and protect our national herd – including fixing NAIT. Damien also says that budget will put rural affairs at the top of the list. “We’re also supporting farmers cleaning up our rivers and waterways, investing in R&D, and we’ve introduced the Rural Proofing Policy which makes sure every Government puts rural affairs at the heart of decision making.”

Lane pool returns with a splash Matt McCrorie Reporter

matt@waimeaweekly.co.nz

The lane pool is back, and on Monday morning a line of eager swimmers lined to up make a splash. The pool has been closed since March 25 for the entire pool to be retiled. While many were sad to miss out on the use of the lane pool, the work was much needed. Repairs had not been undertaken since the centre was initially completed in 2004. The centre was opened by then Prime Minister Helen Clark on 10 September, 2004. Regular wear and tear meant that the eight-lane, 25m lane pool had to be drained and completely retiled over a period of two months. “There was a growing number of broken tiles in the pool which posed a risk to customers,” said the Aquatic Centre facilities manager Vaughan Hope. “Also, the new tiles that have been fitted are more fit for purpose for the pool users – for example, non-slip tiles have been put on the turning ends of the pool and also in the shallow end.”

Photo: Matt McCrorie. Over 21,500 new tiles were laid, specially made and coming all the way from Germany. An impressive 752,000 litres of water were used to re-fill the pool. The total cost of the renovation was just over $350,000, and included new pumps and tanks, and a number of other repairs that could be done at the same

time while the pool was drained in order to save money on future repairs. The retiling process was a long one, the pool had to be drained, with the old tiles being carefully removed. The pool surface then had to be built back up and levelled. After the new tiles were finally laid, the pool had to be given time to cure. The refilling

started towards the end of last week, with the water being treated and heated over the weekend. The Aquatic Centre has over 300,000 visits each year, with numbers continuing to grow. The lane pool is one of the most popular pools, with swimming clubs, underwater hockey and aquafitness classes all sharing the space, as well as a range of casual

swimmers. Thousands of people use the space each week, and they’re all excited to get back in the water. “Everyone I have spoken to cannot wait to get back into the pool,” says Vaughan. Excited swimmers were lining up by 5:30 am on Monday, ready to be among the first to make a splash in the renovated pool.

‘Teacher pay deal a good first step.’ 26.6.19 Primary and secondary teachers accepted the Government’s $1.5 billion pay deal, however principals have rejected their separate offer. While teachers say they didn’t get everything they wanted – more release time and a more manageable workload - they say that the new pay deal is an important first step, as well as the eight additional teachers only days and pay parity between primary and secondary school teachers. Primary Principals rejected their separate offer because the Government did not offer primary principals’ parity with their secondary principal colleagues. The primary teachers’ new agreement will come into force from 1 July. ‘New Zealand better than most for gun buyback’ 26.6.19 Collection events for the firearm buy-back have now been announced, with a list available on the Police website. 192 events will be held across the country within the first 3 months of the buy-back period, and more dates will be added until the amnesty period finishes on 20 December. An event will be held on 4 and 19 August at the Hope Hall, from 9am - 2pm, and again on 15th September in the same venue. There are also events in Murchison. A police spokesperson has said that these events are well planned with strong safety measures in place. It is important to check the police website before you attend a collection event, including submitting an online notification form. A list of retailer and dealers – who will be able to collect firearms on Police’s behalf – will be announced in the coming weeks.

‘Owners of protected trees under stress’ 5.6.18 Maureen Schmidt was one of those affected by a large heritage tree on the reserve next to her house in Richmond, unable to care for the protected tree but left to clean up the mess. Dana Wensley, Richmond Ward councillor, has been assisting residents facing similar issues, usually with aging residents who are unable to care for the large protected trees that they can’t trim or remove. After reading the story in the Waimea Weekly, Maureen, whose garden and guttering is regularly covered in leaves that she can’t clean, was able to get in touch

WEDNESDAY 3 July 2019 with other people with the same issue. Both Maureen and Victoria Jarrett, mentioned in the original story, got in contact with Tim King, Deputy Mayor, and a crew was sent out to clean Maureen’s yard and trim and care for the protected tree next to her house. Maureen was pleased that by getting her message out there, the council was able to help. ‘New Playground goes back to basics’ 26.6.18 On Sunday, June 30th between 60 and 80 local residents gathered to celebrate the completion of the new children’s playground in Mako Street, Richmond.

is still strong support for the show which provides an annual opportunity for town to meet country. This support is not only from those who come through the gates, but the volunteers who keep the show going.” The show has been organised by a committee who works tirelessly behind the scenes, and this year the committee is filled with fresh faces with new ideas, who plan to ‘revitalise’ the show. “This tells me the show is as relevant now as it was 125 years ago. But to keep it going for another 125 years we need to continue to excite children, both as exhibitors and visitors to the show,” he says.” Ted says he still remembers the feeling of excitement he had as a youngster coming to the show years ago. Now he wants to make sure young kids get to feel the same way. He’s also keen to get more involvement from local schools, which was stronger in the show’s earlier years. One youngster who will not need convincing is Clare and Ted’s sixyear-old grandson James, who last year entered with pet calf ‘Bubbles’ and took out a prize, keeping the Ford tradition at the show alive. “There will be something there for all interests,” says Ted.

This year marks the 125th anniversary of the Nelson A&P show, and a new president promises some special features for the show’s big birthday celebration in November. New president Ted Ford is a true local. His family has farmed in the district since 1842, long before the A&P show began in 1894. While he’s stepping into a new role, this is far from the first time that Ted has been involved in the show. He began the show exhibiting as a child, through into adulthood, where he was later named a judge. “I started off taking calves as a young fella, when I was about James’ age” A dairy farmer for over 50 years, Ted is an active member of the New Zealand Jersey Cattle breeding association, as well as putting in the hours as a volunteer fire fighter – he was among those who battled the Pigeon Valley blaze in February, while his wife Clare organised the job of getting stock feed to farmers who were affected. Now, as the show enters its 125th year, Ted says that it’s still going strong. “It’s heartening to know that there

Roy says the land also has ecological significance with more than 560ha of the land covered in native trees. “The land is a valuable natural asset while the track is highly-valued by New Zealanders and overseas visitors.” He says the arrangements for management of the land means people will continue

Land containing a worldrenowned mountainbiking track has been gifted to New Zealand. The 860ha of land in the Wairoa Gorge was handed over to the Department of Conservation on behalf of American billionaire Ken Dart on Friday morning. Within the land lies what is hailed as one of the greatest handmade mountainbike

to enjoy the beautiful environment for many years to come. The land was purchased by Ken Dart through RH Holdings Ltd and $19 million was spent to develop the mountainbike track. Ray Griffin of RHL represented Ken at the handover and says the land provided a unique opportunity to combine conservation and recreation. “We used that to create some-

thing special,” he says. The track has been operated by the Nelson Mountain Biking Club since 2016. Ray says they have left the land in the safe hands of its responsible guardians. Paul Jennings of the NMBC says he was delighted to help enable such access for mountainbikers. “People are travelling from outside the region to ride at Ray Griffin of RHL and Roy Grose from the Dethe park, which is really re- partment of Conservation mark the handover warding.” of land in the Wairoa Gorge.

Tasman bucks trend in police stats The Tasman region has shown it can trend in the right direction when it comes to some police activity. New Zealand Police have released a report which shows statistics of police activity in various areas around the country up until last year. Youth offending has been on the decline in the last few years. The number of proceedings against youth offenders in Tasman dropped by 25 percent over the last three years, according to the statistics. There were 820 youth proceedings in Tasman last year compared to 1099 in 2016. The number of youth offenders in Tasman has also dropped from 762 three years ago to 504 last year. Infringements due to alcohol saw an increase, with the number of breath and blood results that resulted in chargeable offences and infringement offences up each month compared to 2016. Offences linked to drug activity in the Tasman region jumped from 279 in 2015 to 631 last year, although that figure is 13 fewer than that of 2017. There were just four reported cases of aggravated retail robbery in the Tasman region last year. Nationally, police received 897,233 emergency calls last year which was 13,000 more than 12 months prior and 120,000 more than in 2014.

Seniors’ hall to get much needed make-over Matt McCrorie Reporter

Age Concern Nelson Tasman is well on the way to reviving its community hall. The organisation has grown since rebooting itself in 2010, growing from one staff member to six in the span of 9 years. Caroline Budge, manager of Age Concern, says that the increase shows the need for their work. The organisation, which has its offices on the corner of Oxford and Cambridge Streets, took over the lease of the hall next door to them in August last year, and now they’re looking to give it a makeover. “It’s a community space, and it’s used every day. User groups, card groups, church groups. It’s a space where

older people can gather together to socialise.” “It’s a good solid building, but it’s a bit tired and needs some TLC.” The building has been put through a few floods and storms over the years and is in need of repairs and renovations. “It’s about social connection. We use the space as a way to bring older people together. We have the physical space to do that now.” Caroline says that Age Concern has been growing in the last 9 years because of the ageing population in the region. This year the Tasman District Council adopted its Age-friendly policy. According to council research, the number of residents over the age of 65 is projected to increase significantly, especially in the 75+

Nelson Matters

Petrol taxes are up another 4 cents per litre this week. This is Labour’s third tax hike in 18 months and another is promised next July. Taxes and levies now make up over half the cost of fuel. This tax hike does not just hit families when they fuel up the family car. Road user charges have also been hiked again by an equivalent amount. This flows through to household costs for everything from vegetables, bread and milk to the cost of the plumber. Labour has added insult to injury with these fuel tax hikes by slashing the funding for roading. I could not believe transport minister Phil Twyford telling the

Transport Select Committee last week that “New Zealand has invested too much in roading infrastructure over the past 30 years”. National proudly funded and built highway bypasses in Richmond, Stoke and Ruby Bay, as well as major projects upgrading the Spooners and Hope Saddles over this period. I am aghast that Labour now thinks these projects were mistakes. I hold the opposite view that we should have invested more given the growth in population, tourists and export freight. The budget for State Highway upgrades is being reduced by 70% under the Coalition Government from $1400 million to $400 mil-

lion per year. We are seeing the effects of this locally with the $5 million resurfacing programme on Whakatu and Atawhai Drives,to reduce noise, being cancelled. We’ve also seen programmed upgrades on the Whangamoa Hill and through Motueka township deferred. The Nelson and Tasman councils are understandably upset as locals are now being asked to pay over $100 million a year in fuel taxes and road user charges but getting a fraction back for our region’s transport needs. Labour’s anti-road rhetoric is compounded by motorists being called “Car Fascists” by Green Party Associate Transport Min-

age group, which is projected to more than double over next 20 years. By 2038, Tasman is projected to have one of the oldest populations in NZ. The Council report says that in the twenty years between 1996 and 2016, the number of older residents in Tasman more than doubled and reached 20% of the population. Over that time, half of Tasman’s total population increase was from this age group. The number of older residents is projected to almost double over the next twenty years, increasing from 11,100 in 2018 to 20,500 by 2038. Caroline says that the need for a better-quality facility is there. “It shows why our organisation has been expanded, and we want to do more.”

So far, the fundraising project to renovate the hall has received two grants, $30,000 from Pub Charity and $35,000 from the Lottery Community Facilities fund. The fundraising goal to renovate the hall is around $170,000. “We’ve made a really good start, but now we need community support.” Anyone who has any ideas for fundraising, wants to help raise money or give donations, anyone with connections or owns a local business and wants to help, is encouraged to get in touch with Age Concern. “It needs to be community driven. It’s for the community.” A givealittle page has been set up where you can donate: givealittle.co.nz/org/ageconcern-nelson-tasman

ister Julie Anne Genter. Cars will remain for the foreseeable future the dominant means of transport, albeit many more, like mine, will be electric. The problem of getting people and goods in and out of Nelson continues to deteriorate. Labour was quick to overturn National’s commitment of $135 million dollars to get the Southern Link built but has done nothing to address the problem. Traffic monitoring and safety data shows congestion is getting worse and accidents more frequent. We are yet to see any progress on the promise to investigate alternatives cited by Labour, like a tunnel through the Port Hills,

moving Port Nelson to Rabbit Island or adding new lanes onto existing roads. They know these are pipe dreams and unrealistic. The escalating road toll makes investment in our roads even more important. Drivers take unnecessary risks when frustrated on congested roads and intersections. The safety data on new stretches of highway like the Ruby Bay bypass and other major highway upgrades built by National clearly demonstrate that they save lives. Angry Nelsonians have described these latest fuel taxes to me as “Highway Robbery”. It is an apt description. We are paying more for less. Advt.

Tasman District Council to appoint first CIO Tasman District Council will appoint a Chief Information Officer (CIO) to lead the development of online services and smart technology. The CIO will be charged with leading the Council’s digital transformation. As one of the fastest growing regions in the country, the Council is under increasing pressure to enable and provide for that growth, said Tasman CEO Janine Dowding. “One of the ways we can respond to those challenges is through the smart use of technology. “As a council we hold a lot of information and data on behalf our communities. How we use, share and distribute this material to the benefit of our people is a key motivation in our digital transformation. Information is a valued public asset that should be accessible when people want it and in a form they can use. “The new CIO will be charged with

developing a business case for consideration in the next long term plan (2021-31). We will be looking for a strong leader to drive a culture and environment that enables our residents and stakeholders access to the services they need, when and where they want them.”

Reminder for icy roads Motorists are reminded to take extra caution on roads in the region, especially those people getting around early in the morning. Contractors for the council have been gritting roads every morning, as winter conditions harshen. While gritting an icy road can be helpful, it only improves skid resistance of a road by 15 per cent. Driver behaviour is still the main factor in keeping safe on an icy road, High risk areas to watch for are south-facing shaded patches of road, and inland valleys. Any dark/ damp sections of road should be approached with care, especially during periods of cold regardless of the time of day or night. Slow down and drive to the conditions, is still the best advice.

WEDNESDAY 3 July 2019

Scams headed south Staff Reporter Police are warning again about a scam doing the rounds in Auckland and may be making its way down the country, which is targetting the elderly. This is because they tend to take calls at face value, and they are also used to trusting people and are somewhat timid and don’t want to risk upsetting anyone. “The victims in these matters are almost always contacted initially on their landline phones,” police spokesperson Blackman said. “The caller claims they are from Spark or any other of the multitude of providers, and that there is a security or internet issue with the person’s computer or router.” At some point in the conversation, the victims are told by email that they are the subject of identity theft or fraud. They are then spoken to by a person falsely claiming to be a police officer. “The victim is then told that police need their assistance to set up a ‘trap’ to catch the criminals,” Blackman said. “They are convinced to withdraw large sums of money – often in the area of $10,000 - $15,000 –

and are given an address to post the money to or bank account to transfer it to. “The victims are often called repeatedly by the person claiming to be a police officer and talked into sending further large sums of money as part of the ‘trap’. This is usually once the scammers have got a person who is complying. “We are aware of victims being asked to send money to different addresses in Auckland, as well as overseas locations including Spain, Japan and Australia” Blackman says, by the time some people realised they had been scammed they had lost tens of thousands of dollars, which has likely made its way overseas making it very difficult to be recovered. Blackman says many of the victims were vulnerable, older members of the community who were less technologically-minded and therefore more vulnerable. “It’s imperative that you warn your family and friends. Have conversations with your parents and grandparents, inform your elderly or vulnerable neighbours and ensure that everyone is aware of this scam,” he said.

“Never give your personal details over the phone to a stranger. If you think a call may be suspicious, hang up immediately and do not engage with the caller. “A police officer will never ask for your bank details over the phone or ask you to transfer money. If you receive a call of this nature, hang up immediately.” TCF CEO Geoff Thorn said telecommunications providers (Spark,Vodafone,2 Degrees etc) would never ring and ask for personal information like credit card details, bank account numbers or request access to a computer or laptop without you knowing why and with plenty of warning. “They will also never ring unexpectedly and tell you that there is a virus or security issue with your computer,” he said. “If you do have some concerns about a call, ring the company back on their publicly listed number, not the number they called you from, and alert them to the call you have just received. They will let you know if it was a legitimate call. “We know that scammers can be persuasive, but if something seems to be unusual you should

No company or organisation should ask you to hand over your money over the phone or by email.

hang up.” Police believe the scammers operate overseas but understand people in New Zealand may be assisting with sending the packages of money offshore. Police want to hear from anyone who has information about this illegal activity. “If you are asked to receive money from a stranger, you are likely to be engaging in money laundering and could face prosecution,” Blackman said. “There is no legitimate reason for a stranger to need to put money into your account. If you are ever

asked, do not accept any money and contact police.” Anyone who believes they are a victim of a scam is advised to contact police immediately. Anyone with information can contact Blackman by phoning 09 302 6400. Under no circumstance whatsoever should you send cash, or deposit money into anyone’s account who phones or emails you out of the blue. Better still, get a family member to check it. No harm will come from waiting 24 hours and you will save yourself thousands!

If you love singing along to the beautiful old hymns, then join in with the Favourite Hymn Service on Wednesday mornings. Everybody is welcome and there’s morning tea, too!

Hymn Service celebrates 10th year With recent media reports ofhymns disappearing from churches, one local church has based a special service around those great old hymns, a service which keeps growing. Favourite Hymns is a monthly service held at Richmond Church of Christ who recently celebrated the

10th Anniversary of their Favourite Hymn Service, which started as a morning tea and sing-a-long with around 20 people now attracts up to 150 enthuiastic participants, The morning tea still occurs before the music team start and those attending passionately sing those

favourite hymns. The service attracts many from other churches but also attracts many who don’t usually attend church but just love singing those older hymns. Pastor Steve Rollo comments how people so love this service that many leave in tears, sharing how much they enjoyed or were impacted by attending. With hymns there come many memories of events in people’s life journey, but there is no question those old hymns are powerful. Richmond Church of Christ host Favourite Hymns monthly, every 3rd Wednesday, starting with morning tea at 10am.

Just a thought... Ross Ferguson Richmond Community Church It has been said that choice is the greatest gift we get in life. At any moment you have the freedom, the ability, the power to choose what to do with your life, but you must realise that you are not free from the consequences of the choice. Unfortunately, every day we see, hear or read of people having to face the consequences of making ‘reckless’ or bad choices and it is even more unfortunate when those choices cause harm to others. In any society when laws are broken or violated there are consequences. For example, in the news this week was the tragic case of one person who repeatedly consumed synthetic cannabis then drove his car and collided with another vehicle, killing himself and six others. Several months ago, I visited Syrian refugee camps in Lebanon, and in what has been the called the greatest tragedy of the 21st century I saw first-

hand the tragic consequences of war and especially a war that makes no sense, that no one wants and no one wins. We recognize that the laws of physics govern the workings of our world and these laws have natural consequences built into them. For example, no one would think of jumping off a building and not expect serious negative consequences for attempting to defy the law of gravity. Feeding our body junk food, sugars, or too much food has consequences that negatively impact our health and well-being. Toxic thinking is damaging to our bodies just as toxic waste pollutes our environment. It is well documented that guilt, anger, bitterness, jealousy or unforgiveness will all contribute to a wide range of illnesses

spaces available

Not afraid of controversy

and, likewise, not looking after our bodies, through abuse or deviant behaviour or lifestyles will also have detrimental consequences. Just as there are natural laws, there are spiritual laws that have natural consequences built in—positive results when we live in harmony with them and negative results when we try to go against them. You write your life story by the choices you make so it is important to make good choices today so you don’t have regrets tomorrow. Jesus said: “The thief comes only in order to steal, kill and destroy. I came that you may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance, full and overflowing.” John 10: 10 Consequently, choose well and reap the rewards every day.

When it comes to controversial subjects, churches tend to take one of two approaches: 1. Avoidance. They view such subjects as potentially divisive and unsettling for some people. 2. Control. They shut down any discussion (and thinking) by giving all the “right answers” from the pulpit. Jesus took neither of these approaches. He did not hide from controversy; in fact, he was often the one who instigated it! He did not shut down or silence those who held opposing views. He listened. He dialogued. He taught. And he did all this – not in private, but in the public square where anyone could gather to listen and interact. Here at Grace Church we want to follow Jesus’ model. Last year we trialled a series called “Hot Topics.” It included subjects such as euthanasia, suffering and evil, gender identity and pornography. The format was a message outlining the differ-

ing views (along with a biblical position), followed by a panel discussion where people could ask any question on the subject. It was a great success, with many attending from outside our church. This year we are following that up with another series of controversial topics. We are tackling the sensitive subject of suicide (NZ has the worst youth suicide rate in the developed world), the thorny issue of God ordering death of seemingly innocent people in the Old Testament, and the current Israeli / Palestinian conflict (whose land is it?). Whether you consider yourself a Christian, an atheist or anything in between, you’ll find these sessions to be interesting, relevant and informative. If nothing else, they will get you thinking. Come along and have your minds stirred. The series kicks off on Sunday, July 7th, 10am at Grace Church, 2 Headingly Lane, Richmond.

Richmond fall to Tahuna at home After back-to-back wins over the last two weeks, the Fresh Choice Richmond first division team could not find a third in a row as they went down 3-1 to Tahuna at Jubilee Park on Saturday. The game was played end-to-end and both teams had a number of chances to dominant the match. However it was Tahuna that took advantage when it mattered, scoring three goals and securing the win. The only goal for Richmond was scored by Alex Lindbom. In the other senior games, the Richmond Hornbills second XI were too strong for the Fresh Choice Richmond counterparts, beating them 4-1. The Global Wings Travel Hornbills third XI team dominated their match against Golden Bay, winning 6-2. The Sprig and Fern Stags had a good 4-2 win over FC Nelson. The Tasman Auto Electrics Bogans drew 1-1 with FC Nelson Masters. The Hothouse Foxes won their

Shake up for Mako rep system The pathways to high-performance rugby in the region will now no longer be reserved exclusively for the top tier male talent. The Tasman Rugby Union has kicked the junior rep system for touch in favour of a more inclusive programme for both males and females. This means that players of all abilities will be given the opportunity to participate in skill development sessions run by Mako players, starting later this month. Rugby development officer Mark Cochrane says the move has been

made to align with modern sporting principles. “There’s been a big change in focus from rep rugby to skill development across country.” Mark says that research carried out by the Tasman Rugby Union found the benefits of developing all players, not just the ones deemed ‘repable.’ “We have no idea who the next Mako or All Black will be. Players develop at different rates, so we have to give an opportunity for all players to develop.”

Giants humbled at the Hangar Jonty Dine A solitary three pointer summed up the evening for Mike Pero Nelson Giants at the Hangar on Thursday night. The Giants put in its worst home performance of the season as the side was thrashed 97-74 by the Canterbury Rams. With both their post-season fates sealed, Canterbury looked much hungrier as they get set for playoff basketball. Despite another solid start, the Giants were badly out of sorts. With the scores at 8-8, Tom Ingham nailed a three to take the lead in what would be Nelson’s last points from outside the paint. Both teams traded baskets before the mandatory time out, however, the break saw the Giants lose its radar. The second-placed Rams looked aggressive and efficient as they took a slim 21-18 lead at the end of the first quarter.

The Rams crept further ahead in the second, stretching the lead to ten midway through, Michael Karena using his substantial frame to bully the Giants on defence. Mika Vukona showed his usual fierce commitment, twice finding himself buried beneath a pile of Rams’ bodies. However the veteran was left visibly frustrated as passes stopped going to hand for Nelson and they soon conceded several turnovers which the visitors punished, taking a 4838 halftime lead. Dan Grida was leading the charge with a tally of 12 but Cameron Gliddon was right there on his tail. Jett opened the scoring after the break, but mistakes continued to plague the hosts. There was a slight momentum shift late in the third, with Rhys Vague sinking some beautiful baskets to bring his side back into the contest. But normality soon resumed

with the Giants trailing by eight heading into the final ten. Karena took his total past twenty, while Nelson finished with just one from twenty outside the arc. Ingham says that was a “telling tale”. “You’re going to struggle to win games if you shoot at five per cent from the three-point line.” Nelson’s final game at the Trafalgar Centre is this Saturday, July 6, against the Southern Huskies. Ingham says that he hopes to give the faithful a good show next time to close the season. “We still have a bit of a sour taste after losing to them last time, so we will be out to avenge that,” he said. Scorers: Canterbury 97 (Karena 20, Gliddon 16) Nelson 74 (Grida 21, Jett 19)

Richmond F45 no match for slick Prices With dynamic shooter Tia van Diepen sidelined with a calf strain, Kathleen Thornalley returned to the court to bolster her Richmond F45 team against Prices at Saxton Stadium on Thursday night. A slow start by Richmond F45 gave Prices the opportunity to extend early and set the tone for the match. Prices defence asserted their dominance, disrupting and converting with points on the board to end the first quarter with a 16-7 advantage. Richmond F45 found more energy in the second quarter.

Kat Jones was in usual fearsome form, picking up three consecutive intercepts and working well with Maddison Springer to offer some muchneeded confidence. Cunningham was strong at wing defence, however Prices mid court defensive zone made Richmond F45 work hard to maintain ball control throughout the court. The 29-14 halftime score enabled flexibility for Prices, as they moved Dana Whiting to goal attack from her more familiar position of goal defence.

Despite the change, Prices continued to dominate, with Holly Chandler impressing in the defensive circle, ending the quarter 42-18. Richmond F45 failed to connect in the fourth quarter, with badly-timed passes enabling Prices to respond well. Prices defence throughout the full court was exceptional. Combined with Lauren Chaney shooting well for the entire game, the side are on excellent form and are well placed heading towards the business end of the season.

A duck and dip kind of day for winter fest

Motueka/Golden Bay 03 528 2088

By Tim O’Connell While the rest of the South Island encountered rain, snow and pestilence it was typical Tasman sunshine at Kaiteriteri Beach on Sunday as hundreds descended on the shoreline for the Riwaka School Mid-Winter Festival. Bands, performances and the standard array of hot and tasty food made for a welcome way to spend a winter morning, while children were entertained by bouncy castles, mini jeeps and trains as well as a big dig for

prizes around the golden sands. The main attractions of the day were the mid-winter dip and the duck race, both of which drew plenty of entries from locals and out of towners keen to support Riwaka School. Fairies, bumblebees and superheroes were among the costumes on display as the swimmers gathered for the former. Jeanette Clark from Lower Moutere was found in pre-plunge contemplation of the icy fate that awaited her. “Everyone has their bucket list

of things to do, and this is one of mine,” she said. With the tide in for the 11am start of the dip there was a very short run from the shore to the ocean, leaving the hundred or so brave folk who entered little time to chicken out. Admirably, a handful managed to remain in the water for an extended period of time to milk the moment, although it should be noted that most of these people were female. For the rest however, the sequence of events once sub-

merged was akin to someone abruptly hitting the rewind button on a DVD. The duck race was a slightly more drawn out affair, yet attracted just as much interest as the earlier event, although it wasn’t long before the nature of inanimate object racing set in and a good portion of the entered ducks were soon bobbing listlessly in the lagoon, Speaking to the Guardian after an extremely successful day in the sun, Riwaka School Principal Fraser Campbell was ecstatic

with the public response to the event. “There was just a real good buzz around the place and a real connection between the community and school,” he said. Showing leadership and immense fortitude, Mr Campbell took to the water for the dip along with Deputy Principal Katherine Sefton, a feat which he says was “better than coffee”. The Mid-Winter Festival raised close to $9000 for the school, a total which is believed to be up on previous years.

Wanderers Sports Club Report Points aplenty despite mixed results for Wanderers There were plenty of points on offer during senior rugby at Brightwater on Saturday, but that didn’t guarantee a Taylors Wanderers win. Both teams in action scored over 30 points in two entertaining, free flowing matches. Normally, scoring 30 points in a match would result in victory, but the division one team conceded 46 against rivals Waimea Old Boys in the continuing historic Battle of the Bridge encounter. The final score of 46-31 did indicate the flow and movement that was evident throughout this contest, but it did not accurately reflect the intensity of the battle nor the overall evenness of the two teams. The try count was seven to five in favour of the victors but three of those were conceded by Wanderers within an abysmal six minute period in the second half when the score went from 24-21 to 4121 in a blink of an eye. Wanderers showed resilience to regroup and score two further tries but the game was over as a contest at that point, and although the effort and commitment of Wanderers was admirable, games cannot be won when one-on-one tackles are not made, and ball retention is not seen as a paramount skill to enable continuity. Too often promising attacks broke down due to poor ball presentation or retention in contact, and that feature disappointed coach Glenn Grant although he was satisfied with the quality of the tries scored, and the numerous breaks that Wanderers were able to create, especially via the hard, aggressive carries by No 8 Maloni

Soane who proved a handful to the WOB defence all day. Winger Naki Saumaki also caused havoc and was rewarded with two well-finished tries in the left-hand corner. In addition, Fletcher Matthews, Maloni Soane and Graham Urquhart scored tries and Justin Barr kicked three conversions. The Wanderers team recognised best performance from Maloni Soane, who incidentally was also selected by referee Gary Reilly as one of the best on the park. Reilly also had a fine performance and contributed to the free-flowing nature of the contest, appreciated by both captains in their after-match speeches. Jake Berthelsen and Chris Hala’ufia were also acknowledged for their performances and the team will look forward positively to the next encounter against WOB, which should be one of the

semi-finals for the Nelson championship in two weeks’ time. In the earlier match, the Taylors Wanderers division two team had a positive and dominant first half to race out to a good lead over Takaka by 31-5. The effort was based around a complete team effort, with the forwards laying the platform for the backs to launch off, and some very good tries resulted. Up front, all the forwards contributed but none more so than Sean King, Jaden Roeske and Zach Coote, which allowed Bobby Palmer to control play and vary the attacks. Zane Lyttle was strong on attack and punishing on defence, providing plenty of ball and opportunities to wingers Josh Kelly and Ethan Johnson, with both constantly challenging and threatening the Takaka line. In all, six tries were scored in the 36-10 win.

It leaves Wanderers tied for second spot on the table with Huia, who they play this week, both sitting 5 points adrift of the unbeaten Stoke side. This game will almost certainly decide the home venues for the semis, with Stoke due to host Wanderers in the final match of the round on July 20. Meantime, while this game was underway at Brightwater, the Taylors Women’s team was doing battle against Waimea Old Boys in their own version of the Battle of the Bridge at Jubilee Park. Following the unfortunate midweek, season-ending injury to the promising young player Sophie Hart - an ankle fracture while playing secondary school rugby - combined with some absences due to illness, Wanderers were struggling for numbers but managed to field a competitive team. A hard-fought battle ensued, ac-

knowledged by the WOB captain post-match as probably the hardest WOB had encountered all season, with the final score of 39-7 to the hosts. Coach Ian Biggs was satisfied with the commitment and character displayed by the group against the top-of-the-table team and confirms that the Wanderers women will continue to train hard and improve in order to secure a semi-final placing. The return of some key positional players should guarantee that outcome. Individual performances were acknowledged by Leila Nisbett, who scored a fine try, and Staci Kohe and Amanda Sim. Taylors Wanderers Sports Club acknowledged their Volunteer of the Week, sponsored by Southfuels Spring Grove, as Mike Widgery and the Sponsor of the Week was JaK Construction.

Last dash for wallace shield Matt McCrorie Nelson veteran runner Rob Lieffering was the overall winner of the annual Wallace Shield crosscountry series held at Rabbit Island on Saturday. Organising club Waimea Harriers worked hard to give both

male and female runners and walkers of different abilities an equal chance of winning the popular three-race series. The first event involved a race of approximately 5km held at Rabbit Island in late May when runners were not allowed to wear a watch and had to guess their fin-

ishing time. Those finishing closest to their estimated time were awarded the most points. The second race was a crosscountry event at Saxton Field last month, and Saturday’s third and final race was a handicap event with competitors starting times adjusted according to the results

of the previous two events. Lieffering was the overall points winner of the series for the second year in a row. Alistair Cotterill finished second, with David Francis and Dan Bulloch on equal points tied for third. Saturday’s handicap event was won by visitor Aaron McKevitt in

39m 28s. He was followed home by Graeme Lear 40 seconds back. Waimea Harriers club member Lisa Furness was first woman and third overall, a further two seconds behind. Carys Coleman and Karen Griffiths were second and third in the women’s field.

Stay safe on icy roads Icy winter roads pose a significant challenge for driving at this time of year. High risk areas to watch out for are south-facing shaded patches of road, and inland valleys. While grit applied to the road surface can help a little, it does not make the road safe – in fact, gritting only improves the skid resistance of an icy road by 15%. The most important way to keep yourself and your passengers safe is to drive to the conditions. Any dark or damp section of road should be approached with extreme caution during periods of cold weather. Please slow down and drive to the conditions.

Temporary chlorination – Richmond water supply Over the next month we will be connecting a new water main on Headingly Lane into the live water supply network for Richmond. At times during this work we will chlorinate the Richmond water supply as a precaution to make sure it remains safe to drink while the pipe is connected. Chlorination dates • 22 - 25 July – please note, this is a change to the dates advertised previously. The work is weather dependent, so keep an eye on the Tasman District Council Facebook page and website for any updates. You can reduce the taste and smell of chlorine simply by:

Bold and ambitious ideas sought for Te Tauihu intergenerational strategy A series of community conversations called Te Tauihu Talks will be held across Marlborough, Nelson and Tasman throughout July and August to feed into the development of the Te Tauihu Intergenerational Strategy. “We want to bring the community together in an informal way to help us shape the strategy,” says Miriana Stephens, Te Tauihu Intergenerational Strategy Programme Director. “The Te Tauihu Intergenerational Strategy is putting a new lens on decision making across Te Tauihu and challenging us all to be better ancestors. It’s a new way of thinking about regional development that unlocks the opportunities and potential that we know exists here. We can achieve more when we work together, so we’ve worked hard to bring everyone to the table to have this important conversation about our future,"Ms Stephens says. The initiative is led by Wakatū Incorporation in partnership with Nelson City Council, Tasman District Council and Marlborough District Council, the business community, NMIT and whānau, hapū, and iwi across Te Tauihu. It is supported by a $435,000 investment from the Government’s Provincial Growth Fund. For more information head to tetauihu.nz or facebook.com/ tetauihu to register for a Te Tauihu Talk and keep up to date. THEME / TOPIC

Advice for owners of pet fish If you have fish, we advise de-chlorinating the water before topping up tanks. You can get a neutralising agent from pet stores. In addition to chlorination, on Tuesday 16 July there will be a temporary change to the Richmond water supply that will increase the nitrate level. We recommend you do not change the water in your fish tank on this day as a sudden change in nitrate levels can be shock to fish. The change is due to a planned shutdown of a water trunk main.

HAVE YOUR SAY: Find details for all our current consultations at www.tasman.govt.nz/feedback.

Have your say on future water restrictions Submissions close on 5 July 2019 We’re considering an amended bylaw for managing Tasman District’s community water supplies and future summer water restrictions – and we want to know if you think we have it right. Have your say: Head to tasman.govt.nz/feedback to learn more and make a submission.

Moorings and coastal structures Consultation closes on 12 July 2019. Consultation is now open on proposed changes to the rules for boat moorings and other coastal structures in Tasman District. The rule review will lead to changes to the provisions for moorings in the Tasman Resource Management Plan, and the introduction of a new bylaw. Have your say: Head to tasman.govt.nz/feedback for more information and to make a submission. Information is also available at Council offices and libraries.
