Students auction targets $50,000 Matt McCrorie Reporter

matt@waimeaweekly.co.nz

A group of Nelson College students are working together to

destigmatise youth suicide while aiming to raise $50,000 to go towards the Key to Life Charitable Trust. Each year students from Nelson College organise a fundraising event for a charity of choice. In

the past the students have donated to the Cancer Society, Red Cross, and the Fifeshire Foundation. This year, the students want to tackle mental health and raise awareness for youth suicide.

“We thought Key to Life was really relevant this year,” says head boy Liam Brennan. Started by New Zealand comedian Mike King, the Key to Life Charitable Trust is a community peer support group, aiming to

change the way New Zealanders think, act and feel about mental health and suicide. The students on the organising committee for the charity auction

We only moved here in January and we’re loving the beaches like Rabbit Island and Tahunanui, they’re great for the kids.

Kaiteriteri is amazing, it’s the best beach I’ve ever been to. Not only are you at a beach you also have a view of trees and can hear the bellbirds.

Students aim to raise $50,000 for mental health fRoM PAGE 1 say that mental health is one of the key issues that they know young people are facing. “It is something that everyone is affected by,” says year 13 student Tom Murray. “There are boys out there, in our student body, who are at risk.” The students will be approaching local businesses to support the auction by buying a table and donating items to be auctioned off on the night. Comedian and mental health advocate Mike King will be the guest of honour on the night. Locals Steve Page and Kevin Cross will host the event and aim to have 20 items of significance to auction off. One of the student organisers, Stanley Page-Bates, says that he took lessons learnt from organising a fundraising quiz night last year. “I took that, and I saw areas that

For example, using the network that comes with Nelson College, the old boy’s network, and parents of boys who

are business owners,” Stan says. “I thought we could utilise that in a way that would be beneficial, not only to the school but to the

charity, too.” Liam says that it is important for the fundraising to be student-led. “The boys can relate a lot more to

us. The boys are a lot more willing to get behind something like this if it’s us students doing it – they’re part of a team. When the staff are doing it, it can be really easy to feel alienated,” Liam says. The boys have set themselves an ambitious target – they want to raise $50,000 to donate to the trust.“I want this auction to be the biggest fundraiser this school has ever had,” says Stanley. Principal Richard Dykes says that he is thrilled with the way the students have championed that cause. “This is a fantastic leadership opportunity for the students, and they really are just going for it.” The charity auction will be on Thursday, 24 September starting at 7pm. Tables of 10 will be priced at $800, while single tickets will be $80. Anyone who wants to donate goods or services can contact sales@waimeaweekly.co.nz or Steve on 0275449448

Life of former mayor honoured Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

The main road through Saxton Field could soon be renamed after former Tasman and Nelson mayor Kerry Marshall. The mayors of Nelson and Tasman, Rachel Reese and Tim King, and Nelson MP Nick Smith have proposed that the road be named “Kerry Marshall Drive”, to honour a man who devoted his life to public service and died in March during the Covid-19 lockdown. More than a hundred mourners turned out to celebrate a memorial of Kerry at Nelson College on Friday. Rachel spoke of Kerry’s passion for Nelson, his legacy that is Saxton Field, and his love of fine wine. She acknowledged that many people made huge contributions to the Saxton Field sporting complex. “There were dozens of meetings through the 1990s and 2000s where Kerry, as mayor, led major decisions that led to the creation of one of our region’s most important community facilities. “Kerry spent his last years at the Ernest Rutherford Rest Home and regularly went for walks through Saxtons, taking great pride in his role in developing these facilities. This per-

take a process of public and iwi consultation. Our hope would be that the community supports this proposal for a lasting memorial for Kerry’s contribution to our region and New Zealand.” The Marshall family say they are delighted with the proposal to rename the road. “Kerry put decades of work into developing these sports facilities. He loved parks and, especially during the last few years, enjoyed many wheelchair visits and picnics in Saxton Field. The complex is also symbolic of Kerry’s long passion to connect the Nelson and Tasman communities,” said Colleen Marshall.

Schools are starting to feel the financial pain from a lack of international students, but a local principal says that the financial cost is only part of the problem. Waimea College principal Scott Haines, who also serves as the Vice-President for the Secondary Principal’s Association of New Zealand, says that schools will be “feeling the pain” from the loss of revenue that international students bring. Last week, the Government announced $20m to help state and state-integrated schools cover the loss of international students for the remainder of 2020. “It is hugely helpful and really welcome for us,” Scott says. The financial support is part of a $50m lifeline to schools and universities that was announced by Education Minister Chris Hipkins last week, who said that education providers should not expect that international students would be returning this year. The international student industry is worth $5 billion annually, but has slowed since the borders have been closed. Scott says that while the funding will help schools keep the lights on for now, it’s not a long-term solution. “It was never sold as a silver bullet that would solve the problem. It is good news, and it will do what it says it

Scott says that principals and schools are starting to realise that while 2020 has been significant in terms of a loss of international students, 2021 may be a much tougher year. “2021 is anyone’s guess. It is looking bleak,” Scott says. “This year we started with good numbers and we lost those, next year we could start with very few.” Schools with international programmes like Waimea

Nelson Matters

The most important responsibility of an MP is to represent the people and their community. Sometimes this means disagreeing with one’s party or leader. That is why I have so vigorously opposed the Winston Peters electoral law changes that gives the power to a leader to dismiss an MP. I am delighted that Parliament voted to repeal this draconian law last week, in a rare defeat for the Government. The Waka Hopping law came about when Winston Peters demanded it was the price for Labour and the Greens to form a government in 2017. Mr. Peters wants absolute power over his

MPs and has no tolerance for any holding views different to his own. Parliament had a chorus of 21 electoral law academics from all our universities opposing this change. It breaches the Bill of Rights including freedom of expression and freedom of association. It gives party leaders too much power. I have, as an MP, voted against my party and crossed the floor. This law makes this much harder. This type of electoral law only exists in authoritarian states like Zimbabwe, Pakistan and Venezuela. It would break the constitution of Germany, the home of

MMP and is banned in all 28 EU countries. It would never be considered in democracies like Australia, Canada, the United States or the U.K. The Attorney General has stated this would have “a chilling effect” on freedom of speech of MPs. We have had dissenters in Parliament like John A Lee, former Nelson MP, and now-councillor Mel Courtney, Derek Quigley, Marilyn Waring, Jim Anderton and Tariana Turia. Our democracy would be weaker for them being silenced. We would never give the power for mayors to dismiss elected councillors. Tolerating dissent is part of democracy and

College are looking to take a significant financial hit due to the loss of international students. “We are talking losses measured in hundreds of thousands of dollars,” Scott says. “If we can’t bring in the students who are enrolled with us, we are in trouble.” Schools are looking for a ‘win-win’ situation, Scott says, where they can get international students into the country safely for 2021. “No one wants to undo the good work we have done as a nation. Having said that I am motivated to seek safe ways for us to reopen the

border for students in a way that addresses the risk,” he says. “This is not a case of the financial imperatives overriding health by any means. We are looking for a win win. Principals are good problem solvers and I’m sure we can rise to that challenge.” Education Minister Chris Hipkins said that the government would look at bringing in low-risk groups of students first, but no decision on a time-frame has been made. Hipkins also confirmed that international students, should they come to New Zealand, would be responsible for the cost of their own isolation. However, Scott says that international students bring much more value to New Zealand schools the just the financial benefits. “There are huge benefits to be had by bringing students from other cultures into our schools,” Scott says. “It broadens us as global citizens, it makes us more tolerant as human beings, being exposed to different cultures. There is so much we can learn from each other, but right now, all of that is on hold”. Scott believes that the international student programme is hugely beneficial for domestic students learning about the world and becoming more tolerant. “If we weren’t making any money from international students, we would still be doing it because of the rich opportunities it brings for our students,” he says.

our core Kiwi values. I was disappointed when the Green’s voted for this law change in 2018. Founding Greens coleader, the late Jeanette Fitzsimons, vigorously opposed it at Select Committee. The late Rod Donald described similar laws as “the most draconian, obnoxious, anti-democratic and insulting piece of legislation ever inflicted on Parliament.” It is to the credit of the Greens that they switched their vote last week and supported the law’s abolition. New Zealand has one of the oldest and best democracies in the world. The pressures from Covid-19 on the economy and basic

freedoms will test it. We are also facing huge changes in our media. This is a time we must jealously guard our democratic traditions. The Bill repealing Winston’s obnoxious law passed its first reading by 64-55 with the support of National, Greens and Act. Public submissions have been called by the Justice Select Committee this week. The Bill’s sponsor, former Speaker David Carter is retiring, so he has transferred the Bill to me. A priority, if I am re-elected, is to get this repeal Bill passed. MPs should not be answerable to their party leaders or bosses, but to the people who elect them. Advt.

Southern Dash comes to Tasman Jacqui Rawson

Sixty lucky people will pay for the privilege to dress themselves and their cars up and drive to different schools in the area as part of the Southern Dash charity rally on the 14th August. The money they pay to join the rally, and to escape work for three days, goes into the purchase of bikes and sports equipment which are then donated to schools in the area. These people come from all over New Zealand for the chance to dress in attentiongetting costumes and give their car that special theme while bringing fun and laughter to children.

“It’s the smile on kid’s faces, for them it’s the best time of the year, better than Christmas,” says trek route director, Murray O’Donnell. Those smiles are what’s kept Murray involved in this for the last 30 years, the time the car rally charity, Trek, Helping Kiwi Kids, has been running. Starting on Friday 14th August the rally runs for three days and is the first time it’s been held in the Tasman area. They’ll pass through Richmond and Brightwater before heading to Ngatimoti School where they will give away 3 BMX Bikes as well as some sports equipment and lots of other bits and pieces.

Ngatimoti School principal Ali Turner says, “We see this as a fun event for the students and as we are a fairly isolated school it’s a chance to host and have fun enjoying new people from different walks of life.” They will also visit St Arnaud School where they will provide $1000 worth of muchneeded sports equipment. The school will receive the gear as a replacement for their previous sports gear which has been eaten by rats. The team also provide physical assistance from the rally crew wherever the school needs it. At St Arnaud, they’ll help dig up and turn over the play areas bark.

The organisations’ aim is to help the schools get done those non-regular jobs, that can continually sit there waiting until someone comes along to help. The public can make donations to the cause but most of the proceeds come from the payment to join the event. That’s what pays for the bikes and sports equipment and any breakfasts that they hold at the schools. Rally participants pay for their meals and accommodation. There are many memories for Murray throughout the last thirty years. “For me the best memories are from when a child says, ‘Is this really my bike?’ - you can never forget that.”

Donations flood in for burgled charity shop Matt McCrorie Reporter

matt@waimeaweekly.co.nz

The IHC charity shop in Wakatu estate is ‘extremely grateful’ for a series of generous donations following a burglary, after a story

appeared in the Waimea Weekly. A shop assistant arrived at the shop on the morning of Tuesday July 14 to find the windows broken, and the till missing. The store lost $2000 all up, including the cash in the till and the cost of repairs.

Now, the charity shop has been astounded with thousands of dollars worth of donations from the public. “The support from the public has been tremendous,” says manager Gill Burson. “The comments from people

coming into the shop have been fantastic. Our customers were quite hurt, a lot of them have really felt it,” Gill says. “People just couldn’t believe that someone would steal from a charity shop.” Gill says the support that the shop

has received from the community has been ‘amazing.’ “There are a lot of people out there who do care, and we have covered what we lost thanks to donations,” she says. “It is enabling us to upgrade our security.”

New appointment to Network Tasman board Dr Alan Miller was recently appointed to the Network Tasman Ltd Board. Over 50 applications for the position were reviewed by the members of the Network Tasman Trust, which holds shares in Network Tasman Limited and appoints the board. Dr Miller is a consulting electrical engineer and has had 10 years experience in management at Allied Telesis Labs in Christchurch, led the Electric Power Engineering Centre, and Green Grid research project at the University of Canterbury for six years. Dr Miller grew up in the region, where his family goes back five generations. He is based in Christchurch, but spends time in the Tasman region each year.

Missing persons found A 56-year-old man who was reported missing over the weekend was found by police. Stephen Rainbird was overdue from a tramping trip. He left on 25 July for his tramp in the Cobb Valley and was due back on Wednesday 29 July. He was located on Friday by police and was confirmed as safe. Police were also searching for a 31-year-old man on State Highway 7, towards Buller. Police found a motorcycle on Friday, and the police located the owner on Saturday after a search.

Local campaign aims to highlight the region Matt McCrorie A strong local marketing campaign is aiming to promote the Nelson and Tasman regions to the rest of New Zealand, in an effort to stimulate the local economy. ‘We’ve got this / Kei a Tātou’ is asking locals to share what they love about the region and to support local businesses. The campaign is part of project Kōkiri, a joint venture between the two councils and agencies across the Nelson and Tasman regions to prioritise the

regions’ economic recovery. A pointed finger will become a familiar sight to locals – one of the campaign’s logo’s. Project lead and Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce CEO, Ali Boswijk, says Nelson is a “challenger brand” and needed to take a few risks to get some attention. “For a small region with a limited budget to cut through at a time when there is so much competition for domestic visitors and when ‘support local’ campaigns are filling our news feeds, we needed to do something more

than focus on sunshine hours and the relaxed pace of life,” she says. The campaign will encourage locals to highlight what they love about the region. A video was launched on social media featuring well-known locals such as Pic Picot, Tasman mayor Tim King, Nelson mayor Rachel Reese, and comedian Guy Williams, but Ali says that the success of the campaign will rely on everyone getting involved.“Community input will be crucial,” says Ali. Locals are being asked to film or

take photos of their favourite places and businesses from the region and share them on social media with the hashtag #nelsontasman or tag @nelsontasmannz The campaign has already seen success. In the first two weeks, the launch video was viewed 125,700 times, with combined video views across the campaign’s Facebook page reaching 186,400 views. Locals aren’t just watching either, they’re getting involved. The campaign has received over 1,000 pieces of content.

Public asked to donate good sports gear for local schools Jacqui Rawson Reporter

A purple cardboard box in the shape of a gym locker is the focal point of a countrywide plan to redistribute unutilised sports equipment. It’s given to the schools lacking in the resources needed for all students to be included in sports activities. “Our locker was filled up three days after it was placed in the gym,” says Taryn from F45 training in Richmond. People were encouraged to place any sports items such as football and rugby boots, sports bags and balls, cricket kit and activewear into the purple lockers in three locations around the Nelson/Tasman area. KidsCan, the recipient of the sports equipment, is a charity organisation whose mandate is to assist children from low socio-economic backgrounds to have an equal chance at learning, which includes on the sports field.

Local businesses pick up tab for lessons

Cheaper bus fares for locals

Matt McCrorie

Reporter

matt@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Two local businesses have teamed up with one mission, to make sure local kids learn how to swim. NBS and Raeward Fresh are working with SwimMagic at the Richmond Aquatic Centre to sponsor swimming lessons for 160 local kids, who may not have had the means to access swimming lessons. Howie Timms, from NBS, says that following the success of the programme last year, it wasn’t hard to sponsor for a second year. “The success we have last year was amazing. It was easy to get on board again this year.” Gareth Caldwell, from Raeward Fresh in Richmond, says that getting on board was ‘a nobrainer.’ “We’ve got young kids as well. To know that we can help other young kids who don’t have the opportunity to learn how to swim and be safe in the water, it’s pretty special. It was a nobrainer.” Crystal Gaiger from the Richmond Aquatic Centre says that the staff is rapt that local busi-

Its not just the benefit of being able to learn to swim, but it is the emotional and mental benefits that some of these kids are getting as well,” Crystal says. “Being able to have something to look forward to and work

towards has been really important for a lot of these kids.” Crystal says that the team have seen some ‘heart-warming’ stories in the year that the programme has been running. “We had one little girl who came in with her grandma, and when we offered her more lessons her grandma just burst into tears. It was really heartwarming,” she says.

The 12 week lessons are valid for school age children 5-13 years, who haven’t had lessons with SwimMagic within the last six months. Parents must have a valid community services card, and children will need to be able to attend lessons, one class per week, for 12 weeks. Applications can be made through the Richmond Aquatic Centre.

Changing bus zones means that travel to and from Nelson will be cheaper for Richmond residents. A range of changes for the NelsonTasman Nbus service have come into effect on Monday this week, including two new bus loops for Richmond, an electronic prepaid travel card, and new zones and fares. The new bus zones will see cheaper fares for those Richmond residents travelling into Nelson. Up until last week, bus fares were based on a four-zone system, from Nelson outwards. Zone One ended at Boundary Road in Bishopdale, Zone Two ended at Quarantine Road in Stoke, Zone Three ended at Saxton Road in Stoke and Zone Four covered Richmond. The new zoning system extends Zone One all the way to Hayes Corner where Main Road Stoke meets Waimea Road and Annesbrook Drive, Zone Two to Main Road Stoke just north of Elm Street, and Zone Three to Richmond including the Richmond loop services. Those travelling from Richmond to Nelson using the new Bee Card will pay $2.80 ($3.50 if paying cash) rather than $4 under the old system. Fare categories have also been simplified. One concessionary fare now applies to children (5-18), students, and holders of SuperGold and Community Services cards.

Just a thought... Peter Sommerville Grace Church Of all the natural wonders in our world, none is so beautiful as the rainbow. I’m sure there has been a time when you looked out the window or you have been out on a walk and there arching over the hillside or the trees, you see that glorious band of colours bursting in the sky, and it has stopped you in your tracks. Science tells us, when light enters a water droplet it slows down and bends as it goes from air to denser water. The light reflects off the inside of the droplet, separating into its component wavelengths - or colours. When light exits the droplet, it makes a rainbow. But that tells us nothing about its meaning or significance. Following the great flood, when God cleansed the earth of evil, God make a promise that he would never flood the earth again. God said to Noah, “I have placed my bow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I form clouds over the earth and the bow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant be-

tween me and you and all the living creatures.” (Genesis 9:13–15) The word “bow” is the Hebrew word qesheth and it refers to an archer’s bow. With the great flood, God the warrior took up his battle bow and shot his arrows and the sky burst open and water engulfed the earth. Then God hung up his bow. He put it in the sky where everyone can see it. It’s a beautiful picture isn’t? But that’s not the end of it. In the book of Revelation, we are given a glimpse into the throne room of God and there surrounding the throne John sees a rainbow. And who is sitting on the throne? The Lord Jesus Christ. You see, the story of Noah, like every story in the Bible, ultimately points to a greater story. It points us to Jesus. There was a day when Jesus hung on the cross and God pointed his bow at him and unleashed his arrows of judgment at him. He took those arrows for you and for me. It was for our sin that Jesus was punished, so that we might be forgiven and set free. Surely, there is no more powerful truth the rainbow could point to than this.

Community Patrol still keeping Richmond safer Jacqui Rawson Reporter

jacqui@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Members of our community head out at night to assist the police with their presence and their eyes, on the lookout for anything that may disturb the peace and the safety of the area. They’re volunteers of differing ages from all parts of the community who individually give up one night a month to make the night safer for all. Working in pairs they need to cover a specific area each night but mix up their routes, encompassing schools and industrial areas as well as residential homes. “I used to live on Salisbury Road and got sick of my letterbox being vandalised every other Thursday night,” says Richmond District Community Patrol (RDCP) member, Mike Gill. Mike has been with RDCP since it was established in 2007 due in part to his letterbox. He also wanted to give back to the community he is a part of, and he wasn’t alone. Five other members of the patrol joined at its inception and have stayed on since to continue their part in helping the community. “Things have definitely quietened down over the years from what

The high visibility vehicle, insurance, signage, the dashboard camera, in fact, all the components behind getting people out in a vehicle travelling around safely, all come from donations. RDCP is one of 150 community patrol groups around New Zealand who are all affiliated with Community Patrols of New Zealand (CPNZ) which has over 5000 volunteers. CPNZ set the standards that each unit adheres to, for their safety and that of the public. It’s unlikely that being out on patrol will ever be like a scene from “Lethal Weapon,” but the exact opposite of an action movie is what the RDCP see as a great night. “Nothing happening on a night is actually a win for everybody,” says (RDCP) member Paula Baldwin. No results mean the community is safe and they’ve done their job. The RDCP are keen to have new members join. If you’re interested in giving back to your community please get in touch with them, www.rdcp.org.nz.

- Continued from 29.7.20 Mary Ann began teaching at their home in Wakefield in mid-1843. The school moved to a cob house in November of that year. In 1844, the new school was officially opened, making Wakefield School the oldest continuous school in New Zealand. With the failure of the New Zealand Company in 1844, the settlers had no means of converting their corn into meal. Edward put to good use the small water wheel he had made and converted a small hand flour mill which he rigged up to connect with the little water wheel. Barley, wheat and corn could now all be ground and so bread or bannocks could be produced in useful quantities. He was also connected with St John’s Church in Wakefield, reportedly helping to select the site with Bishop Selwyn, and being the builder of the edifice. He was a trustee of the St John’s Church until the time of his death.

Mary Ann Baigent, left, with her husband Edward Baigent, pictured right, in their later years. The two passed away in 1892, both living to 79 years of age. They are buried in the St John’s church cemetery. Photo: Supplied. By 1846 he was supplying timber for a great deal of building activity occurring in the district. The need for money to develop his sawmill had seen Edward working for the New Zealand Company in contract labour gangs. He worked on improvements to his sawmill at night, taking two years to get it working to full capacity. By 1850, he was employing eight men, six days a week, ten hours a day. His timber mill worked by day and the flour mill at night. He provided the timber for

the first Nelson Cathedral, opened by Bishop Selwyn on Christmas Day 1851. It took 10 bullock teams to transport the timber all the way from Wakefield to Nelson. He was elected as the first representative of Waimea South on the Provincial Council. He took his seat in the first Council in 1853 and continued as a member, being reelected time after time till it ceased to exist. In 1869, he opened his first timber yard in Nelson. A year later, the yard moved

to Waimea Street (now Rutherford Street), where it remained for over a century. Baigent was one of the most successful sawmillers in the region and his company, known as ‘H. Baigent and Sons’ (where the H stands for Henry, his son) was held by the family for generations. The economic depression of the 1880’s and 90’s seriously affected the Nelson timber trade, however the family firm of H. Baigent and Sons continued to grow through the 20th century. They developed and owned substantial forestry holdings, timber yards and the Eve’s Valley Mill, now owned by Carter Holt Harvey. Edward was also chosen on two occasions by the electors of the Waimea to represent them in the Colonial Parliament, first from 1867 to 1870 and then again from 1876 to 1879. Mary Ann died on 3 November 1892, with Edward following her less than a week later on 9 November 1892 aged 79. They are buried in the St John’s Church cemetery at Wakefield.

A new dance offering for Richmond Jacqui Rawson There’s a new dance studio opened in Richmond offering a way to get active and have fun to the beat of modern music. The instructor, Keith Adolph, is a long-time dance instructor who has moved to Richmond from Auckland and joins his niece Zariya Andrews, a New Zealand hip hop representative. They’re keen to raise the profile of choreographed partner dancing in the area, especially for teenagers and people in the earlier age brackets. Although Keith’s quick to point out they’re happy to teach anyone who’s agile and keen to learn. “We have couples wanting to learn how to dance for their wedding, but high school students are also keen to learn the right dance moves for their school formals,” says Keith. Each week they’ll provide a video of the moves specific to the part of the song learnt in the class. The aim, to ensure students can practice in between the weekly classes. They teach in the nice warm hall

Public asked for their say on water safety Public consultation has begun on the council’s proposal to chlorinate several councilowned water supplies. Most of the water supplies across the Tasman District are chlorinated. The new proposal is seeking to chlorinate the rest of the unchlorinated supplies, includ-

ing Upper Takaka, Hamama, Motueka, Riwaka/Kaiteriteri and Richmond. The proposed changes to water supplies in the district come after a government inquiry into the 2016 gastroenteritis outbreak in Havelock North, where the drinking water became contaminated, and 45

people were hospitalised. There will be an information session for the public, held at the Richmond Public Library, Thursday 13 August, 4.00 pm – 7.00 pm. Submissions can be emailed to info@tasman.govt.nz with ‘Water Safety Consultation’ in the subject line.

The Wanderers women’s rugby team extracted a little revenge on their way to the premier rugby final, on Saturday. Taylors Wanderers 3 Bee Women’s rugby team travelled to Riwaka on Saturday to contest the first semi-final against the home team who had defeated Wanderers in the first game of the season 17-10. In an outstanding team performance, measuring the development that the team has made this year, captain Amanda Sim led her squad from the front to a resounding 47-7 victory A feature of the play was the rock-solid defence, based on good line speed and effective tackling where Kate Nightengale and Staci Kohe were outstanding. Strong running and good support-play maintained momentum and continuity with backs and forwards combining well and constantly challenging the Riwaka defence. Michelle Curry, Amelia Hammett, Alisi Seigafo, Cass

Tiva Ulutupu Kaisia, Manaia Ashley Ulutupa and Tempest Ropiha all contributed to the team effort. Lucy Bain, in her first season of rugby, had an excellent attacking and defensive game and continues to improve with every match. Coach Jo Cotton was pleased with the performance and was glad to have the opportunity to play against defending champions Waimea Old Boys again. The match will kick off at 3pm at Jubilee Park this Saturday. Meanwhile, over at Collingwood; the Taylors Wanderers division two team had a gigantic battle against the hosts and displayed real character and resilience to score a match-winning try in the final minutes to snatch a 15-13 victory. Suffering a huge setback in the warm-up when fullback Riley Johnstone injured his hamstring, causing a reshuffle to the back line, the team was unfortunate to lose two players in the first 10 minutes resulting in greater disruptions. It left them with a solitary re-

serve for the remainder of a very physical encounter. Changing the tactics and playing wide, thereby avoiding the forward confrontations, had an immediate impact on Wanderers’ progress and, although creating a number of opportunities, the Riwaka defence held until finally Steve Soper crashed over to secure the a deserved victory. Zach Coote and Will Hamilton were identified as Players of the Day and Hamilton’s determination in chasing back against the Collingwood winger in a try-saving defensive effort epitomised the character of this team. Wanderers host Waimea Old Boys at Brightwater on Saturday with a kick off at 1pm to enable supporters and players to travel to Jubilee Park to support the Women’s team On Friday night at Brightwater the Taylors Wanderers under-18 team started their 2020 season with a narrow 22-19 loss to Motueka High School in a very tense, exciting match.

ed with a fine try under a pile of Motueka defenders. Jack Hahn and Flynn Basalaj also scored but many other chances went begging and Motueka deserved the victory for the tenacious defence and excellent line-speed that created two tries through pressure. Wanderers will host Marlborough Boys College at Lord Rutherford Park on Saturday at 1pm. The three Taylors Wanderers netball teams completed the first round of the Nelson Netball competitions with two close games which saw Taylors Gold lose by a solitary goal 29-28 against Waimea Whero and Taylors CSC go down 31-27 against Jacks Mint. In the sixth grade game Jacks Lime was far too strong for the Taylors Blue team and next week the second round will commence with Taylors CSC having the 9am game against Waimea Whero, followed by the Blue team against Suburban White at 10am, then at 1pm Taylors Gold will compete with Waimea Mahoe.

WaimeaRichmond FUNERAL SERVICES

The RBC bootmarket has been operating for over 20 years (since 1999), once a month in the carpark of the Richmond Baptist Church at 123 Salisbury Road. It has become arguably the largest non-commercial market in Nelson, sometimes getting as many as 140 stalls with plenty of space for parking. Mark Morris, the co-ordinator of the market, says they work hard to try and live up to their reputation as the ‘friendly market’. “We aim to have a low key, friendly atmosphere and make it as easy as possible for people to set up a stall. To do this we have plenty of helpers to help you find a stall site and we don’t have set stall site fee, like the larger commercial markets have, instead we just ask for a donation depending on how much you sell.” This means you can try out a stall if you want and if you don’t sell much there’s no big

financial outlay. To help with the friendly atmosphere, we offer free tea and coffee, and we have some yummy food stalls and the best sausage sizzle in town which is always fundraising for a good cause. It’s amazing what you can find for sale at a bootmarket with lots of secondhand clothes, books, records, plants, produce and preserves. There is always something different that pops up for sale and lots of bargains. The four main aims of the market are: To be a blessing to the community where people can interact in a friendly, relaxed market place. To encourage community connectivity by providing a relaxed place where you can shop and often catch up with friends and neighbours at the same time. To allow for anyone in the community to easily set up their own stall and hopefully

earn some money. To raise funds for various church building projects, community events, and youth group activities and community counselling services. This last year the market has been expanded to now include an Arts and Crafts market which is located inside the church lounge. This is where you can buy quality original artwork and a wide range of hand crafts, ideal for gifts. If you are interested in having a stall for art & craft please contact Kay on 03-547-6777 or 027-547-6777. The market is normally on the 4th Saturday of the month, meaning the next market is Saturday, August the 23rd. The only regular exception to this rule is December when it is the 3rd Saturday. For any enquiries about the main bootmarket please contact Mark on 022-469-5367 or through their Facebook page, RBC Bootmarket.

Waimea Combined came close yet again to earning another big scalp in the UC Championship on Saturday. However, it was Rangiora High School who eventually held their nerve and clung-on for a 22-17 victory at Waimea College. Coach James Lash rightly put much of the blame for the loss on a sluggish start which saw them trail 15-0. “We weren’t switched-on mentally. We noticed it in the warm-ups and tried to rectify it, but we just didn’t get it right.” Lash says the team did find space out wide with Macca Springer scoring twice as he continues to be the main attacking threat in the

backline. “I thought we did well to find the space and find our attack,” Lash says. Another area of concern was the set-piece with both the lineouts and scrums struggling. “They weren’t functioning as we would have liked and when we had penalties late in the game, that impacted the choices we made. With eight minutes to go, Waimea was down by five points and chose to go for the try from a penalty inside Rangiora’s 22. “That’s on the boys to make the right decision and then deal with the results. Looking back you could say we could have kicked the three but we leave the choice to the boys because they are the ones out there.” Waimea will travel to Christchurch to play Christ’s College on Saturday.

Got some news?

Tom Ingham is back at work teaching this week after a whirlwind six weeks playing for the Nelson Giants in the NBL showdown. The former Waimea College pupil turned basketball coach felt it was a pleasure just to be back on court. “We had a massive appreciation just to be playing basketball considering the position we found ourselves in with the lockdown three months ago. For me personally, the opportunity to be a leader on court was something that I wanted and I have gained a lot of confidence from shouldering more responsibility. “The big thing is that I’ve always tried to work hard and the opportunities would come. “I knew if I had the chance to lead and play extended minutes that I wouldn’t let it slide.” Tom says the mental challenge of living in a basketball bubble and playing three games a week for six weeks exceeded the physical demands. “We had a young team and a lot of injuries, so that mental grind was so important. “You couldn’t get hung up on a big loss or get over-excited about a big win. “It was a blow when Mika (Vukona) had to get his appendix out but it meant the younger guys had to realise that this was it and they had to step-up and show their worth.

Cold water

Dominik Berghamer

The water temperatures have dropped to a chilly 11 degrees in the bay but there is still plenty of life to be found. Huge swarms of squat lobsters – krill like creatures - attract thousands of birds and there are dozens of seals around. When it comes to fish the usual suspects for this time of the year are present. Over sandy/muddy ground you will find gurnard, the odd school of kahawai and unfortunately - legions of spiny dogfish. Blue cod and tarakihi don’t care about the cold water either, but they prefer rocky bottom. The snapper and kingfish still hang out around d’Urville Island which is always worth a trip – if you can find a calm day or two. The Dawnbreakers Fishing Club was finally able to hold its traditional end-of-year prize

giving, a month late but as great as ever. The Club Members enjoyed the excellent food, had a few cold ones and used the opportunity to catch up with fellow fisherpeople. Thanks to our most generous sponsors (especially Hunting & Fishing Nelson, thanks Andrew!) we were once more able to hand out thousands of dollars worth of prizes. Even if you hadn’t caught a trophy fish last season you could still win some of the amazing spot prizes. Overall winner of the 2019/2020 season was – as usual – Reid Forrest, Sharon Rose won the ladies’ section and Ollie Meek the junior’s. The Dawnbreakers AGM was held on the same evening and Phil Chilton was re-elected as president. The committee is already making plans for the next season and we are looking forward to another exciting fishing year! Tight lines!

rising to the challenge Hazeldine turned pukeko into the night’s champions and created six of the thirteen dishes from this unusual meat source. Diners first sampled a canape with pukeko, kumara and a bourbon relish, they then sampled a pukeko filo tart done with heart and livers under a parsnip crisp. This was followed by thin slices of pukeko with a spiced honey sauce. Next was a pukeko taco which was followed by Hazeldine’s own invention of GBD’s or Game Bird Dogs, a pukeko and paradise shelduck sausage that was presented in two options: a crumbed sausage with a black pepper crème or as battered, like a hotdog on a stick. Diners also feasted on meals created out of mallards, paradise shelduck, pheasant and Canada Geese, but it was the humble pukeko which was the star of the night.

Nelson Marlborough Fish & Game Officer Jacob Lucas says, “Phil has once again excelled himself in what he can make from our humble game birds”. “Using techniques that any home cook can use, Phil has shown us that we can push the boundaries and use our game birds for more than roast duck”. “This region has many pukekos for hunters to harvest, but they are often overlooked by game hunters, however, tonight has shown us that it is a fantastic eating bird that can be a great food source for the family”. When presenting the dishes Hazeldine does not reveal the meat ingredient to the diners and they try and guess which game bird is used in each dish. At the end of the dinner Hazeldine runs through his menu with the diners and reveals the meat ingredients and the flavour combinations he used to make the game birds shine.

The often-maligned pukeko was the culinary champion at the annual Nelson Marlborough Fish & Game, game bird food night at Club Waimea on Sunday night. Club Waimea chef Phil Hazeldine wowed the eighty hunters and their families who turned up to see what masterpieces he could create out of their game birds. Organised by Nelson Marlborough Fish & Game in conjunction with Phil Hazeldine at Club Waimea, the popular event was booked out early by hunters who had heard about the fantastic dishes created by Hazeldine in previous years. Thirteen options were created by Hazeldine and his team from the organic, free-range game provided to him by the hunters. The curve ball thrown at Hazeldine this year was a healthy quantity of pukeko meat, but

Nelson winter dressage heats up Meila Picard Nelson Dressageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quick-thinking during the Coronavirus pandemic has meant a smooth winter season has been possible for horses and riders alike. Since the Government announced the move to level 2, Nelson Dressage has held three competitions, which have all been a huge success thanks to the commitment from locals. A huge achievement for the small, yet dedicated, club. The Nelson Dressage committee team had a plan which enabled the popular Pitt & Moore Winter Series to begin before any other dressage groups in the country. This forward thinking will enable the winter series to be completed by the 23rd of August, just in time for the competitive summer series to begin. For riders within the region it has been fantastic to have already competed in at least three shows, allowing them precious time to polish their tests before the bigger shows commence later in the season. This is an advantage that not

everybody across the country has. The winter dressage series is the perfect time to establish at higher levels or generally improve performances under the watchful eye of a judge. Being able to compete at these many winter shows has been very valuable for riders from around the Nelson and Tasman regions, and certainly will put them in a good place for the upcoming summer season. The last two shows of the season have been held under level 1 conditions which has meant unlimited entries and unlimited spectators. This has welcomed many new combinations and spectators looking to enjoy the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;dancing horses.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The standard of dressage in Nelson is ever improving and it is very exciting to see scores increasing across the board. There were numerous combinations which stood out at the recent show. Firstly, with a recent step up to level 2, was Julie Fraser, on her gorgeous Fandango, who scored 73 percent and 74 percent, showing the

huge potential of this combination. Another stand out on the day was Emma Wilson aboard the lovely Ngahiwi Oki Doki, scoring 68 percent and 71 percent in the level four classes, and taking home two wins. Rilee McMeekin and Windermere Legato performed successfully in the graded level one class, scoring 67 percent and 73 percent. In the Introductory pony classes, Lucy Young and the adorable Timberlee Macaroon stood out with scores of 68 percent and 70 percent and two wins. This is certainly a combination to watch for the future. In the lead rein classes Paige Waldron and Poppy Rieter competed successfully on their pint-sized ponies showing that the future of dressage in Nelson is exciting. Entries will soon be open for the final show of the Pitt and Moore Winter Series. In this show the deserving combinations will be awarded with sashes to celebrate their successes throughout the series.

Ride the new Richmond Bus Loop

How to Look at Art

The new convenient bus service around Richmond has started this week. It’s now running Monday to Friday with regular services throughout the day. A reduced timetable runs on Saturdays (no service Sundays or public holidays.

The Suter Art Gallery’s curator Sarah McClintock is back with her enormously popular How to Look at Art session. Sarah will bring a mystery item from the Suter’s collection to Richmond for a special show, tell and guess session. It’s free and everyone is welcome. This takes place on Tuesday 11 August from 5.30 pm to 6.30 pm at the Richmond Library.

It starts and finishes in Queen Street, where you can also connect to the bus services to Stoke and Nelson. The eastern end of the route travels along Washbourn Drive to Chelsea Avenue, on to Hill Street to Champion Road, returning via Salisbury Road and Talbot Street.

We are seeking submissions on a proposal to permanently chlorinate the following water supplies: Upper Takaka, Hamama, Motueka, Riwaka / Kaiteriteri and Richmond. All other Tasman District Council water supplies are already treated with chlorine to ensure the safe supply of drinking water. This is in line with the accepted practice for water treatment around New Zealand and other developed countries around the world. You can read the full statement of proposal online at tasman.govt.nz/feedback or see a hard copy at all Tasman District Council Offices and Libraries (Takaka, Murchison, Motueka and Richmond). Public information sessions The following public sessions will be held to discuss the proposal and answer questions: • Richmond Public Library, Thursday 13 August, 4.00 pm – 7.00 pm. • Motueka Memorial Hall, Thursday 20 August, 4.00 pm – 7.00 pm. • Upper Takaka Community Hall, Tuesday 25 August, 5.30 pm – 7.00 pm.

The western end travels down lower Queen Street, out to Three Brothers Corner, up Bateup Road and back along Wensley Road. The bus is even more convenient with the introduction of the electronic Bee Card. It’s a pre-paid “tag on – tag off” card that makes it cheaper and easier to catch the bus. Your Bee Card is free until the end of October and the minimum top up amount is $5. Get yours today from Tasman District and Nelson City Council Service Centres, Nelson, Stoke and Richmond Public Libraries and the bus depot in Bridge Street, Nelson. Get more information on our website, tasman.govt.nz and search on “bus”.

Golden Bay Local Board consultation The Local Government Commission has released its consultation document on the application to establish a local board in Golden Bay and its financial implications for the whole district. Read the Local Government Commission document on their website, lgc.govt.nz. Submissions are invited until Friday 14 August 2020.

• Email your submission to info@tasman.govt.nz with ‘Water Safety Consultation’ in the subject line. • Head to tasman.govt.nz/feedback to submit your feedback online. • Post your submission to 'Water Safety Consultation', Tasman District Council, 189 Queen Street, Private Bag 4, Richmond 7050. Anyone who wishes to do so will have the opportunity to speak in support of their submission at a hearing to be held on Tuesday 6 October 2020.

The properties requiring a new number include those that are: • Owned by the same person or people • Used jointly as a single unit • Contiguous • Used as one farming operation • Likely to be held as one farming operation If your property is affected, you will receive a letter from Quotable Value informing you of the changes and the new proposed valuation number. You will have the usual objection rights, and can contact QV if you have any questions. Your rates are generally not expected to increase as a result of the property valuation amalgamation, and the changes won’t affect your rates for the 2020/2021 rating year. From July 2021 you will receive just one rates notice for the combined properties.

So please think about the plastics that you buy (check the number in the recycling triangle, usually found on the base to make sure you’re getting 1, 2 and 5) and reduce plastic use where you can.

Non-recyclable plastics… their number’s up! Only put plastic types 1, 2 & 5 in your yellow bin.

Keep in touch with Antenno

Antenno lets you choose the places you want to be alerted about, so you're not being alerted about things that don't affect you. You can expect to see updates from Council on a wide range of things. For reporting issues, the app conveniently adds the location to a photo and so we can log the problem, including a description of it and your contact details. It's an easy way to get in touch with us.

Submissions are open until Friday 4 September 2020.

Some rural properties are set to receive a new, single rating valuation number. Land Information New Zealand has advised us that some properties that currently have more than one rating valuation number must be identified by a single number.

Council is now only accepting plastics containers labelled as 1, 2, and 5 as these can be recycled locally. Plastics numbered 3, 4, 6 and 7 are no longer able to be recycled in New Zealand so they must go in your rubbish from now on.

Council is using a free mobile app called Antenno that sends you alerts and notifications about places and topics you care about, like reminders about recycling or road closures. There are two ways you can use Antenno: receive notifications from us about the places you have marked as important to you, or reporting issues and giving feedback.

How to have your say:

Some rural rating valuation numbers to be combined

Only plastics 1, 2 and 5 in your recycling please

A plan needs to be developed for accommodating this growth across the network and at each individual school. Note the scope of this plan is limited to compulsory / state schooling. Engagement provides an opportunity for parents, students and the wider community to contribute to the planning for how education provision across the state school network will respond to population growth. You will have the opportunity to ask questions of the Ministry of Education and to share your ideas for what the future network of schooling in Waimea could look like.

The Ministry of Inspiration (MOI) is a Nelson-based charitable trust committed to providing exceptional leadership and confidence building opportunities for youth through a STEAMS (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Maths and Society) model of education. The MOI wishes to recruit new trustees to help direct its continuing growth and broaden the expertise and experience amongst its Board membership.

Phone us on 544 9037

Since its establishment in 2012, many passionate and qualified educators and volunteers have supported the MOI to engage 1000s of students from the Nelson-Tasman region and beyond through its many programmes and events, including the weekly STEAMS school, annual INSPIRE Festival, NZAquaBots, quiz nights and holiday programmes. Central government funding has also enabled MOI to develop ‘STEAMS kits’ with electronic programming curriculum that are now being rolled out nationwide. The MOI is seeking to attract new trustees with governance experience of charitable trusts, and expertise in such areas as finance, business development, education, matauranga Maori and entrepreneurship. Trustees currently volunteer their time and are provided an annual reimbursement to cover general expenses. To find out more about this exciting opportunity please contact: Geoff Ormandy (021 750 149, geoff.lily@xtra.co.nz). Visit www.ministryofinspiration.org
