Cash n Trade Richmond has gone, and it seems itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left without any explanation. The pawnbroker business, which was in Sundial Square, has disappeared from the busy retail area. While a new retail space in the centre of Richmond will be a great opportunity for someone, there are a few people who are feeling fleeced. One of these people is Linda. Linda, whose name has been changed for the purpose of anonymity, was left with limited options after she found out that Cash n Trade in Richmond had disappeared. She was forced to take out a loan against some of her jewellery when she had some unexpected costs come up last month. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a situation familiar to many. However, when she went to pay back the final part of her loan and get her jewellery back, she discovered that the pawnbrokers were gone, along with her property. While Linda has been able to make some

Pawn and gone FROM PAGE 1 contact with the businesss through private messaging their facebook page, the results aren’t what she had hoped for. The response to her message, on May 27, said that they were currently moving to a new premises and gave Linda an email and phone number to enquire through. After several days of back and forth texting, Cash n Trade told Linda she would now have to pay an increased fee to get her goods back, as she missed the repayment deadline. The only problem is, that she didn’t. “I turned up to their store on the day it was due, but they weren’t there. Why

should I have to pay?” Linda says that has become clear that the owners of the business are avoiding her. After she questioned the repayment fee there has been no further contact from Cash n Trade. Linda isn’t the only one feeling ripped off. The Facebook page and questions section on google are full of people trying to get their goods back. To some it will come as no surprise that the business left their premises suddenly. The business has been for sale for several months and was advertised on Trademe. However the listing has since been withdrawn. According to the owners of the building, Cash n Trade and the landlords had a dis-

pute over the agreements of the lease which couldn’t be resolved, so the lease was terminated and the pawnbroker business was evicted from the premises. It should also be noted that the Waimea Weekly previously reported two incidents surrounding the store earlier this year, with the front window being smashed with a rock in the middle of the night, and an act of arson on the store’s private car park, where a car was set alight at 3am in the morning. Nearby business owners said that they felt unsafe early in the morning and late at night with ‘suspicious-looking men’ hanging around the back of the store.

Woman dies on Mount Robert A woman died while tramping in the Nelson Lakes National Park on Sunday. Tracey Smith, 55, has been rememberd as a “kind soul and loving mum.” Police received a call around 9am on 2 June about a woman who had become severely hypothermic at high altitude in the national park. Waimea Weekly understands Tracey was tramping with one of her children. A helicopter with a medical crew and police were dispatched to the scene but Tracey was already deceased when they located her on Mount Robert Ridge. Victim support services have been provided to the survivor and others affected by the tragedy. Search and Rescue Coordinator, sergeant Malcolm York, says police extend their sympathies to Tracey’s family and friends. “This is a truly tragic incident that followed what could have been another unfortunate event the evening before.” Two trampers were rescued at around 7pm the day before in deep snow at high altitude, only a short distance from where Tracey was located. Emergency services were alerted when the couple

encountered deep snow on their route up Mount Robert Ridge. Late in the afternoon they were able to call 111 in a small pocket of cellphone coverage. They were located 1,800 metres above sea level and approximately four kilometres from their intended hut. With the fading light the Nelson Rescue Helicopter was dispatched carrying members of the Nelson LandSAR Alpine team. The helicopter crew spotted the trampers’ head lights with night vision goggles and lifted them to safety. In both of these incidents the parties started their trips into very exposed, snowcovered alpine routes in inappropriate weather conditions. Snow was falling and the wind was extreme, taking the wind chill down to as low as -16 degrees. “It is important to monitor proposed weather conditions and make good decisions around them and the risk that inclement weather poses to your intended trip. “Consider the time of day you are setting out, know your limitations and make sure you have appropriate clothing and equipment,” says sergeant York

Advice for Trampers It’s always best to plan your trip. These days a personal locator beacon should always be taken on back country routes. Beacons can be a life-saving tool as it means emergency services will be aware that something has happened much faster if you do get injured or lost. These beacons don’t have to be purchased, they can be hired out on a day-by-day basis. Becoming lost or injured happens, but there are things to do which will mitigate this risk and a little preparation will go a long way. If you are fit then you are a lot more resilient if you do have a fall or suffer from an injury.

Owners of protected trees under stress Matt McCrorie Reporter

matt@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Owners of protected heritage trees are becoming increasingly under stress; Richmond Ward Councillor Dana Wensley says. Several heritage trees are dotted throughout Richmond, and they’re easily recognisable, often towering above the rest. Ginkgo, Pagoda Trees, Totara, Rata. These protected trees are an important feature of the Tasman landscape. These trees benefit the entire community. Not only do many of them have an important historical significance, nd add to the landscape, but they have other benefits. Absorbing stormwater, providing shade and absorbing carbon dioxide, and urban trees can even create local temperature reductions. While these trees provide benefits for the entire community, the burden has always fallen on property owners to care for them. Dana has recently been approached by several landowners

who have protected trees on their property, with concerns about the pressures of maintaining them in the manner required. Victoria Janett is one such person. Victoria, who lives in Richmond, has a protected tree on the property next to hers. Recently, it’s been the cause of some stress. The leaves that the great oak tree sheds causes floods when there is heavy rain, and Victoria can’t get up the ladder to clear the guttering. “If there are strong winds, branches come down too.” Her neighbour has to spend an hour and a half raking up leaves before she can mow the lawn or do the garden. People like Victoria want to keep Richmond beautiful, but are struggling to bear the burden on their own. Because these trees are protected, they are not allowed to be removed, or heavily pruned, without council consent. However, there is no funding available for the council to take on the maintenance of these trees.

“There are people who just can’t care for these great big trees. We do have an aging population They can’t climb up on their roof to clear their gutters. “ Dana says that if the trees benefit the entire community, they should be a ‘shared responsibility.’ That’s what prompted her to look for answer to the problem and do something about it. When she lived in Canada, Dana noted that there was a community group known as ‘Snow Angels’, who would go around clearing the snow from the driveways of residents who may not be able to manage it on their own. That, thought Dana, could be the idea for solving the problem of heritage tree care, by forming a community group of volunteers to care for these trees that are a part of the entire community. “If we could get a group of people together to help maintain these trees, it might take some of the burden off those people.” Those who want to help, or for anyone else interested in this project, can contact Dana at Dana.Wensley@tasman.govt.nz

Waimea Water pumped and ready for more action Matt McCorie With construction of the $104 million Waimea Community Dam in the Lee Valley well underway, Waimea Water Ltd (WWL) now have their full complement of key staff in place with a specialist dam engineer recently relocating and joining the team. WWL is a Council Controlled Organisation owned by the Tasman District Council and Waimea Irrigators Ltd. It was formed late in 2018 to build, finance, own and operate the Waimea Community Dam safely, reliably and efficiently. Mike Scott was appointed Chief Executive Officer in February 2019. He has a Master’s in Engineering post graduate degree from the University of Canterbury, and previously held the position of CEO for the $34 billion North West Shelf LNG project in Australia. Mike has established a small team of qualified specialists focussing on design, construction, project management, environmental, sustainability, business and corporate matters. The 53-metre-high and 220-metre-long concrete face, rock-filled dam, which will hold 13 million

Photo Matt McCrorie. cubic metres of water, is designed to high standards under the New Zealand Dam Safety Guidelines. Mike says, “The rock-filled dam designed by Tonkin and Taylor is the right design for the geology of the Lee Valley and it has been peer reviewed by many experts.” Specialist dam consulting engineers Damwatch Engineering Limited will provide independent review of the design and con-

struction. The dam is being constructed for Waimea Water through a joint venture between experienced local companies Fulton Hogan and Taylors Contracting Ltd. Work on building access roads and preparing the site for construction facilities has been progressing well over the last few months. Excavation for the dam is ex-

pected to commence in July 2019 with completion expected in the last quarter of 2021 and the reservoir full in 2022. This year’s drought in Tasman highlighted the need for a dam to store the region’s water. Mike believes the community would have avoided the negative economic impact from the drought, like Nelson did, had we had the dam.

“Good infrastructure, such as the Waimea Community Dam, will build resilience within our growing community and provide greater protection for our local economy”. “It will undoubtedly enhance our primary industries, which in turn will lead to more secondary and tertiary industries to provide jobs and attract our kids back from university and overseas.”

Queen Street to face minor road works Jeff Robinson, the project manager for the Tasman District Council, said that the contract for the upgrade required Downer to repair any defects found following the completion of the upgrade. “The upgrade contract last year committed Downer to repairing any defects that were found following the upgrade’s completion.” Jeff said, “The defects are mainly on the footpaths – at random places wherever some covers need to be re-set.” Jeff said that “Downer will be in touch with anyone who might be directly affected by the work prior to starting that job. We don’t anticipate much disruption to businesses or the public’s daily enjoyment of Queen Street.” Last month the region suffered minor flooding after heavy rainfall, and while some retail spaces on Queen St flooded, including parts of the Richmond Mall, these incidents were caused due to guttering issues and roof leaks rather than surface flooding on the street. Counil engineers reported that the new design coped ‘exceedingly well’ with the flooding and that everything worked as it was meant to.

Matt McCrorie Reporter

matt@waimeaweekly.co.nz

It took 18 months to restructure and upgrade Richmond’s Queen Street, but now additional work must be done. The project was undertaken to reduce flooding risk and create a more modern central retail area for Richmond. Although it took 2 months longer than intended, with an extra cost of over $1 million, the street has held up, coping well with minor floods and even being voted the best street in the 2018 Beautiful Awards, winning for its beauty, cleanliness, design and community pride. Downer construction undertook the $14 million project initially and will carry out ‘minor roadworks’ on the street beginning in June. The work will include repairs to manholes, valve fitting and garden borders on the road and the footpath. “There have been several small repair jobs identified since the street reopened, which the contractor will work on over the next few months.”

Lost cat brings community together Matt McCrorie A lost cat might have caused some stress in Noelene Spencer’s life, but the experience gave her an opportunity to connect with her local community. Noelene is relatively new to Richmond, spending the last 4 months in Tahunanui after relocating from the Hawkes Bay. The last thing she needed when she moved into her newly-built home in Hart Rise was for her cat to go missing. Cooper, which had been in a cattery while Noelene built her house, managed to break his way out of a cat door on the first night in their new house. Noelene was forced into action, searching around an area she herself didn’t know. She searched for two weeks, putting ads in the Waimea Weekly and asking anyone she saw on the street for help. She was overwhelmed by the response she got. People saw the ad in the paper and called her with offers of help, “several people have been calling me every few days to ask if I’d found Cooper”. Noelene approached people in their gardens and walking on the street, and asked for help.

“I was way out of my comfort zone, going up to strangers”. It appears that going out of her comfort zone paid off. “The community response was fantastic. Although it was a stressful situation, I’ve met so many wonderful people.” People called Noelene up, searched for her pet, handed out flyers. Residents of Waimea village even donated their time by helping her look. By chance, Annette Cartner, who lived a block away, was watering her roses while Noelene was searching for Cooper. Soon after meeting, Annette was searching for Cooper. “It was an amazing coincidence that we met” Annette said. Annette had the idea of getting a cat trap from the SPCA after she saw Cooper lurking near her house, and the two worked together to set and check the trap. Two days later, Cooper was found and brought safely home. “I really had no idea what to do, but everyone I encountered seemed to genuinely care.” The two have become fast friends already, and Noelene said that after two weeks living in the area, she’s sure that shes settled in the right neighbourhood.

Healthy Hearts at Active Explorers Richmond Matt McCorie Staff and children at Active Explorers Richmond have never been healthier, and now, thanks to special recognition from the Heart Foundation, they have an award to prove it. On Tuesday (June 4), Heart Foundation Nutrition Advisor Lisa Cocks visited the early learning centre to present them with a Rito Healthy Heart Award, celebrating their achievement in founding a heart-healthy environment. The accolade is part of the Heart Foundation’s Healthy Heart Award programme (Tohu Manawa Ora- Kōhungahunga) which helps early learning services promote healthy eating and physical activity to young children and their families. Rito is the first of three award levels that participating centres can work towards. “We are so delighted to have successfully started our health journey at Active Explorers Richmond, and both the children and staff are extremely proud to receive this award,”

says Centre Manager Karmin Marchbanks. Active Explorers Richmond has been working towards this achievement for more than a year, and their efforts have seen great results. “We’ve incorporated healthy eating and physical activity into the children’s learning programme and provided resources for parents on healthy eating and physical activity. New centrewide policies have been specifically created and our teachers have participated in additional professional development to build their knowledge and expertise in health.” The centre cook has even designed a Heart Foundation approved menu for the children’s morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea – a menu which has been met with great enthusiasm from centre children and families. In a society where ill-health and obesity are rapidly-growing problems, the efforts of Active Explorers Richmond staff and children could prove to be life changing. Not only are

they sharing their newfound knowledge with their whanau and others outside the centre, but they are also laying a strong foundation for good health and wellbeing throughout their lives. “Since embarking of this journey the children have had opportunities to try different foods, and every day the food they have eaten has met all their nutritional requirements. Our centre team now has a much better understanding of the nutritional requirements for children and how this can be presented in a menu. Better still, the children have learnt a lot about keeping healthy and we’ve provided parents with information about healthy, affordable lunch boxes.” They may have one award under their belt, but Active Explorers Richmond has no plans of easing up on their quest for good health. “We are meeting with our Nutrition Advisor following the presentation to discuss working towards the Heart Foundation Whanau Award!”

Great taste upgrade Tasman’s Great Taste Trail has had a recent upgrade. A short section around the Waimea Inlet has been realigned as part of a new wetlands reserve on Lower Queen Street. The section of trail being replaced was identified as being vulnerable to flooding after damage during recent storms. The wetlands development was a good opportunity to move the trail inland and reduce the maintenance burden. The Cycle Trails Trust were able to realign the section with support of Tasman District Council Reserves Department and funding from Central Government and developers.

Council seeks public views on Water Supply A new bylaw for managing the area’s water supply and future water restriction is now open for public feedback. A version of the new bylaw was consulted on at the end of last year, but before the bylaw was adopted the drought hit the region. While the area faced critical water shortage, and to maintain the regions water schemes, the council imposed escalating water restrictions based on those proposed in 2018, but not yet adopted. Richard Kirby, council engineering services manager, said the restrictions were largely successful, with most residents and businesses taking up the challenge to reduce their water use in order to see the district through the drought. “We were able to road-test the proposed approach to restrictions that we had been looking at introducing through the bylaw. We learned some lessons along the way, so we have updated the draft bylaw and made a few changes to the version we went out with last year.” Mayor Richard Kempthorne is asking people and businesses to think about their experience during the drought. Richard said that these strict restrictions worked. “People connected to the Council water cut their usage by 28% during the height of the drought. That is a massive effort and was crucial to sustaining our water supplies through that period.” Now people can have their say if they agreed with the approach that was taken. If the bylaw is adopted, the council will take a very similar approach in future when there is a threat to our supplies. Mayor Richard said the water restriction provisions were likely to be needed most years until the Waimea Community Dam was operational, and in the event of emergency water shortages. Consultation is open from 5 June to 5 July 2019. More information is available at tasman. govt.nz/feedback.

Local organic farmer best in country Charles Anderson When Dom Ferretti moved with his family from the Coromandel five years ago, they were taking a risk. They leased a small piece of land off Dom’s cousin and went to work creating a new organic patch of paradise. Since then they have expanded into Brightwater but are familiar faces at the Nelson markets – both the Saturday and the Wednesday Farmers Market. Ferretti Growers grew in profile and in customers, and now that risk has paid off after being recently awarded the title of Organic Farmer of the Year. “We are stoked,” says Dom. “Just thrilled.”

Nelson Matters

This year’s Budget was definitely different. There was high drama and finger pointing over the early leaks. Pretty pictures have replaced factual financials. The Coalition Government has declared it the ‘Wellbeing Budget’ while the National opposition the ‘Botched Budget’. I am far more interested in what it means for our Nelson community than the political spin. The most immediate effect of the Budget on Nelson households and businesses will be the increase in petrol tax by another 3.5c a litre on 1 July. The Budget legislation also adds another 3.5c next July. Road user chargers also go up. These tax increases push up costs on every-

thing from groceries to building materials. These tax increases will cost Nelson and Tasman another $10 million dollars. My problem is that the Government is at the same time reducing investment on State Highways by 70% including cancelling upgrades of our local SH6 in Stoke and Atawhai. We are paying more while congestion on our roads just keeps getting worse. The Government’s talk about wellbeing is not matched by what is actually going on in our schools. The teacher’s mega-strike last week was the worst ever, and the disruption continues this week. The root cause is Labour promising 20% pay

increases in Opposition and then refusing much smaller claims in Government. Teachers are also understandably angry when they see wasteful spending in areas much less important than children’s education. I commend the increase in funding for mental health and drug addiction services that the Nelson community and I have been advocating for. We now need to ensure it is effectively delivered. I worry about the overall funding for our District Health Board. Its finances were strong but have deteriorated significantly this year. I am seeing many Nelsonians whose surgery has been cancelled or de-

The award is through New Zealand Organic Week which started to promote organics in New Zealand and has since become one of the country’s goto events. Ferretti Growers were nominated by the Nelson Farmers Market and from there it was up to the public to vote for them. “We couldn’t have done it without our customers,” says Dom. “They are amazing.” Dom and his family moved to Nelson from the Coromandel where they were also market gardeners. But the profession is in the blood. “Our dad and uncle were market gardeners who came over from Italy and did the same

thing.” Because the farm only sells their goods at markets, they grow a large variety to ensure they can be a one-stop-shop for people. “That is challenging, but on the other hand it is good not to have all the eggs in one basket.” Dom says the reason why he is so passionate about organics is simple: “Why would you want to put poison on your food and eat it? It’s that simple.” He says it’s about growing and eating food in a healthy way and looking after the soil. “If you are constantly reaming the soil it’s not going to work long term for you. You have to protect it.”

layed and this budget provides little relief. The number of operations being delivered nationwide is reducing for the first time in years. The Budget is also a disappointment for Nelson Hospital. No provision has been made in the next four years for the critical major upgrade of our main hospital buildings despite their earthquake risk. We cannot keep putting this off. Nelsonians struggling with housing get no relief. Waiting lists at Housing New Zealand have doubled and rents are up an average of $50 a week over the last year. The Budget fails to rescue Labour’s flagship Kiwibuild policy that promised over 1,000 homes in the first

year but has delivered only 80 in 18 months. The only tax reduction in the Budget is for racing and sports betting. I am at a loss as to how increased gambling contributes to improved wellbeing. My greatest concern with this Budget is having no plan to grow exports, jobs and incomes. The economy was growing at 4% under National but has slowed to 2%. The Budget fills the hole by borrowing an extra $14 billion over the next three years. A strong economy that can fund improved health and education remains the best way to secure Nelson and New Zealand’s future wellbeing. Advt.

Conservation and music honoured Staff Reporter Locals have been recognised for their work championing conservation, science and music as part of the Queen’s Birthday Honours. Professor Charles Eason, who has been the chief executive of the Cawthron Institute since 2012, was made a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to science and wildlife conservation. Under Professor Eason’s leadership the Cawthron Institute has increased staff numbers by around 100, trebled its operating surplus, and significantly increased its research output. He has also overseen the establishment by industry of major shellfish spat nurseries on Cawthron-owned land near Nelson and led a research programme to breed virus-resistant oysters to support the rebuilding of the Pacific oyster industry in Northland. Jeffrey Connell, who lives locally but was conservator for the Department of Conservation in Whanganui and Otago, was acknowledged as an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for his services to conservation. During his time as Otago Conservator, three new conservation parks were opened and he was instrumental in negotiating for public access to what would become the Motatapu Track. Debs Martin has held several roles at Forest and Bird and has led a number of environmental campaigns focused on conservation efforts. She was awarded Queen’s Service Medal for services to conservation. Debs has served as Forest and Bird’s regional manager for the Top of the South Island since 2004. She led the society’s successful campaign and appeal to the Environment Court opposing the construction of a dam on the Mokihinui River, now in Kahurangi National Park.

She campaigned for the protection of the Denniston Plateau from coal mining and is presently leading Forest and Bird’s campaign to prevent further mining on conservation land. Regionally, she supports local Forest and Bird branch members with their projects and commitments and runs the project to save long-tailed bats at Pelorus Bridge Scenic Reserve in

Marlborough. Nigel Weeks has worked with young people in music since 1994 and has been Head of Music at Manurewa High School, Kings College, MacLeans College, and currently Nayland College. He was recognised with a Queens Service Medal for services to music. Nigel has led bands and choirs to win numerous national awards and Aus-

tralasian titles and toured with them to a wide range of international festivals. He has led a number of musicbased fundraising initiatives and performances to help fund international tours. He became Musical Director of the Nelson City Brass Band in 2016 and has been music director of the Nelson Symphony Orchestra and Nelson Civic Choir since 2018.

Opinion – Why the new gun control This article was written May 6th by Dylan Williams and appeared in NZ Dairy Farmer. It is reproduced with permission and offers an interesting point of view, and asks for a calm and commonsense debate around the issue of gun control. The events of March 15 shook the nation and led to tougher gun control. Dylan Williams and the Firearm Owners United NZ group respond to the new gun laws. So, here we are, more than a month on from the most horrific terror attack New Zealand has ever seen. The alleged perpetrator has not even had his day in court yet and the inquiry into how he managed to hide among us and be given the privilege of a firearms licence has barely even begun. Yet, the Government has already delivered the answer even though it doesn’t quite seem sure what the question was. We could go on about how unjust it is that the hard-earned privileges of the fit and proper seem to depend, not on their own conduct, but on those whose only goal is to watch the world burn. But the real tragedy of the whole

Most gun owners are just the folks next door who enjoy the sport. law change process is the way the Government and media boiled the entire debate down to a series of false dichotomies: An illusion of binary choices that are either black or white. You’re either with us or against us. You must either support the law change or oppose it. The gun owners versus the public. People’s lives versus your

sport. You’re not the victims, they are. This divide-and-conquer rhetoric does more harm than good. The reality is that none of these seemingly black and white choices needs to exist. You can support the general intent of a law change but also think some parts of it have missed the mark. You

can accept gun control is necessary but also accept fit and proper people can participate in wellcontrolled sport shooting. You can be anti-firearm ownership and still be disgusted at the despotic manner in which democracy was all but dispensed with. You can support initiatives to stop undesirables getting hold

of guns but also demand taxpayer money and police resources are not wasted on schemes unlikely to achieve anything. You can have concern for public safety but also believe firearm ownership can be managed in a way that minimises risk to the community. You can be heartbroken for the victims of a terror attack but also feel disillusioned at how your Government has treated you. You can also recognise your own shooting-related activities are not necessarily the yard stick against which the legitimacy of all others must be measured. Just saying ... The most gut-wrenching dichotomy being perpetrated is the idea firearms owners are somehow separate to the community. Apparently, we are not part of society but an evil gun lobby who should be neither trusted nor listened to. NZ does not have a gun lobby that pours money into supporting political candidates to protect the gun industry. There is no big gun industry in NZ like big tobacco or big oil. What we are is a collection of interested private individuals who choose to participate in the democratic process as is our right as NZ citizens. That’s kind of the

l laws won’t work as intended point of living in a democracy, a point worryingly lost on the Government. Our message to the rest of NZ is this. It is not you versus us. We are not some weird fringe group. We are your friends, your family, your neighbours and your colleagues. We are the farmers who grow your food, the doctors who care for you when you’re sick, the teachers who teach your kids, the police officers who keep you safe, the builders who made your house, the military personnel who serve our country, the IT guys who created your website,

the students who will lead the nation tomorrow and the retirees who want to keep their minds and bodies active even though their rugby days are long since passed. We have families, jobs, homes and pets. You see us every day. We don’t want bad people getting hold of guns any more than you do. We are not a threat to you. We also happen to know a bit about guns. Soon the Arms Act amendment that was so perfect and so necessary and so urgent that no time could be made for debate will be up for review. Even though the media and Jacinda

Tragedy as truck plunges over hill Local plasterer Joshua O’Connor was trying to change down a gear as he took a corner on the hill of the Riwaka-Sandy Bay Rd last Thursday morning. But for some reason it wouldn’t take. “I kept trying but, in the end, I just had to brake. It was a blind corner so I couldn’t cut it. We ended up steering and going down the bank. I knew the spot and I knew that we had a fair way to go down.” “We just kept rolling.” When they finally stopped, the truck was balancing over a rock face. His employee was dazed and in shock and ran off, so Joshua had to chase after him. It was then that Joshua remembered that he had taken his dog Basil to work that day. Basil had been in the back of the flatbed ute, underneath a fibreglass hardtop with a gap, so he would have air. But Basil wasn’t in the truck. “I searched around for about 10 minutes and then I found him in water underneath the truck.” It’s not clear if Basil died from the impact or drowned. “It was really sad,” Joshua says, and is not sure if he has fully comprehended what has happened. “Basil had a bloody good life. I don’t think he suffered; I would have heard him.”

Ardern’s PR team would have you believe it was the most wellwritten piece of legislation in the world, soon they will be screaming that it’s full of loopholes that need to be fixed and it will be the evil gun lobby’s fault. We will yet again be cast as the enemy who must be controlled with swift legal action to fix the problems, we tried to point out in the first place. That is what happens when shooters, hunters, dealers and even the police arms officers are excluded from the legislative process. When those with no knowledge on the topic try to create laws

without the input of those who have even the foggiest of ideas of what they are talking about, the results are predictably terrible. Bad ideas do not become good ideas because of the strength of the emotional drive behind them. Conversely, if an idea is good then robust debate and scrutiny will confirm its validity, not compromise it. The Government should not be afraid to consult the shooting community and involve us in the process from start to finish. It is the only way it will achieve buyin among the shooting community and getting buy-in is the only

way to build a system that works. In turn, a robust system is what gives people the confidence that firearms licence holders are not a threat to their safety because, let’s face it, the licence holders didn’t let a terrorist slip through the cracks. Meaningful consultation will go a long way towards restoring trust and mutual respect between shooters and police that has steadily and systematically been destroyed over the last few years. Besides, between the Government, police, licence holders and the rest of the population, aren’t we were all supposed to be on the same team?

HopeFest - Celebrating and offering hope in our community Hundreds of people joined together to celebrate HopeFest during the month of May, as Hope Community Church hosted its sixth edition of this growing community event. Based on a vision to see the wider community flourish, HopeFest focuses on a number of key challenges in the modern world - addressed by seminars on mental wellness, parenting, and relationships. HopeFest aims to bring people together, to speak honestly about life’s struggles, to provide tools

for life and relationships, and to offer a little taste of hope. Once again, the Big Share Fair proved to be a huge hit, with a record number in attendance. Participants - many of whom lined up for the hour before the church doors opened - received a set of Hope Notes as they entered the facility. They then had the joy of exchanging the Hope Notes for produce, goods and services donated by church and community members. Following the Fair and the week

of seminars, members from the church spent the final Sunday involved in community projects gardening and planting, building at a local school, cleaning up at local pre-schools and cemeteries, providing firewood, and visiting resthome residents. Hope Church would like to express appreciation to all who made HopeFest such a success, especially its sponsors: Teapot Valley Christian Camp, Ewing Poultry, Waimea Weekly, The Parenting Place, and The Breeze

Nelson. Daryl Bay, Lead Pastor at Hope Community Church, shared with those who attended the midweek seminars: “Hope is our name, it’s our mission, and it’s our prayer for the people in our community - the welcome mat is always out to you and your families.” You can access the free seminars online at

Pastor “…The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective…” James 5:16 Hi everyone, Today I want to talk a little about prayer. Prayer is a very special gift given to us by God. The word of God tells us that prayer is powerful and effective (James 5). But how does prayer work? I mean, do we, from our vast pool of human wisdom, inform the All-knowing, Allwise, Sovereign God who made the universe concerning what He should do? And then expect Him to act accordingly? Hmmmmm?

Or does prayer work some other way? Now, before I attempt address this question directly, let me first tell you about pancakes, yes pancakes. Year ago, I used to make pancakes with my two sons every Saturday morning (I’m Canadian so we have butter and maple syrup – anything other than this on the pancakes is a travesty to a purist. LOL) As my boys got bigger, I taught them to make pancakes. And I would help them so that we would end up with a good breakfast! And, to be honest with you, there was a time where it would have been easier if I had just made the pancakes myself, but it was my delight to involve them, to see

the joy on their faces as they made something edible and to have time together. Now, as I read God’s Word, it appears that this is somewhat analogous with prayer. You see, God doesn’t need our wisdom and He can most certainly change things without us, but (and it’s a big but) He chooses to include us. Because we are His children, He invites us to participate in what He is doing! So, consider Daniel. We read that when he finds out (from reading the Scripture) that God was going

to restore the exiles after 70 years it actually motivated him to pray (Daniel 9:1-3). Now some may have read that God was going to do something and thought…oh well… no need to pray… it’s a done deal… but Daniel as a man of God understood this was an invitation from God to participate through prayer in what He was about to do. Friends, in prayer God affords us the amazing privilege of partnering with Him in His plans for our families, the church and the world!

New manager for Brightwater NPD Brightwater Motors is now under new management, with Jacqui Ritchie returning to town as the new site manager. NPD Chief Executive Barry Sheridan says, “We’re pleased to take over the ownership of NPD Brightwater We welcome Jacqui back to Brightwater to manage the shop and forecourt sales. I know Jacqui will bring the friendly NPD culture to our Brightwater site.” Jacqui is looking forward to the future and what the NPD team will bring to the business and community of Brightwater. “I am really excited that NPD have given me this opportunity to relocate back to Brightwater as this community has been a big part of my life for many years.” Jacqui was part of the Brightwater Motors team for 10 years in the past, which will now be managed by NPD. Jacqui has been working at NPD Timaru managing the store and is looking forward to moving back to Brightwater. “It is such a blessing to be going back to where my family live, my children were raised, and now where my grandchildren are growing up.” NPD Brightwater offers 24/7 fuel, with Regular 91, Premium 95 and Diesel. The site accepts 24/7 NPDcard, 24/7 EFTPOS/Credit, Mobilcard, and also has a convenience store. SuperGold Card holders receive a 15 cent per litre discount on fuel, and the site will also accept all supermarket dockets for a 12 cent discount. In addition, NPD Brightwater will now offer regular discounts off the pump pricing for all motorists. “We look forward to providing our friendly NPD service and also our regular ‘Discount Days’,” says Sheridan.

New manager Jacqui Ritchie is happy to be returning to the Brightwater region and rejoining the NPD team. “When the discounts are running, no loyalty card is needed to access the best pricing. Our staff apply the discount for all motorists when they pay in the store.” NPD is taking over the ownership and management of the shop and fuel sales. They are currently looking for expressions of interest from suitable parties to run the mechanical workshop.

Rex and Cynthia Tinsley celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on the 30th of May. The couple were married in Collingwood and lived there for two years, before relocating to Richmond in 1960. They loved Richmond so much that they have been there ever since. Rex pursued a career as a joiner and carpenter. The couple had two children, and Cynthia raised them as a stay-at-home mum until they were older. After that she was known around town as a friendly face, catering, and working at the Richmond Drapery until she retired.

Showjumping will not disappoint Tessa Silcock The PGG Wrightson’s Nelson Area Spring Grand Prix Show Jumping is back this year and will not disappoint. This year’s event will be held on the 14th/ 15th of September. With riders travelling from across the South Island, the Nelson Area SJ group hope to have some solid competition in the large classes such as the Horse and Pony Grand Prix’s, Young Rider and the Junior/ Amateur Rider classes. These classes range from 1.10m all the way up to 1.50m.

These are some of the largest competition classes in the country. Last year was a great success and the SJ Group want to grow the show even more. It is the goal for the group to develop a festival aspect to the show in the coming years. Eventually, the Show Jumping group aim to fetch riders from all corners of the country and put Nelson on the map for National Show Jumping. This year’s event will be held at Marchwood Park in Motueka, The Nelson SJ Group welcomes all level competitors including

introductory hacks and ponies. All levels are catered for all the way down to 50cm Hacks and Ponies. Getting the young riders amongst some of the most accomplished Show Jumpers is a great way to grow the local Show Jumping sport, which is one of the main intentions of the show. The group also welcomes anyone to attend the event, even if you are not involved. It will be a fantastic oppurtunity to get the community involved in an event that will only continue to grow over the next few years.

In the race that took place over Queens Birthday weekend, he began way back in 53rd place. A very big stuff-up in qualifying, which involved a wrong turn, followed by stalling the vehicle while reversing

it out, meant that Dan had a lot of catching up to do if he wanted to finish the race in first place . Despite the less than ideal start, Dan and his navigator David Pinkerton then blasted through the field at speeds of up to 185 kms per hour to finish 7th overall and 4th in class. Dan said he and his partner were “shaken to hell and back, but we are just stoked. Just

epic we can pedal this beast”! The off road course consisted of some pretty severe sand and mud sections, but Dan proved that he has what it takes to give his competitors a good race. His 4th places him in 1st place overall after round two of the NZ title, North Island series by a 20 point margin. Razorback chassis with 6 litre Chevy Holden engine.

Wanderers Sports Club Report Marist humble Wanderers in rugby semi-final If you want to win the championship, first you need to be in the final. Unfortunately, Taylors Wanderers learnt the hard way on Saturday that a Tasman Trophy semi-final is still a step away after a 71-34 defeat to Marist at Trafalgar Park Marist scored eight tries in the first half for a 52-5 halftime lead. The game as a contest was over really after 27 minutes and, although Wanderers competed better in the second half, the final score accurately reflected the dominance of Marist in all facets of the game. Wanderers were hesitant on defence, unable to maintain continuity past three or four phases and the lineout completely malfunctioned, resulting in halfback Jacob Berthelsen being forced to tap and run. For Taylors Wanderers, it was definitely a learning curve and with six players in the team under the age of 20, the team will be better for this raw loss. Although well beaten, the team displayed tenacity by scoring six tries, with each replacement player improving intensity on entering the field. This was pleasing for coach Glenn Grant who, although disappointed in the performance, acknowledged the contribution made by the division two players, Jaden Roeske, Ducati, MorrellHopa and Alan Davis, with each providing impact and Ducati’s excellent try bringing joy to the many Wanderers supporters present. Wanderers better performers were Nino Peniamina, Chris

Wanderers learnt the hard way that a Tasman Trophy semi-final is still a step away after a defeat to Marist at Trafalgar Park. Photo: Supplied. Hala’ufia, Josh Grant and Will Hamilton. Sione Holani, who although committed to the Heartland campaign for West Coast, stood by as replacement cover and made an immediate impact where he combined extremely effectively with Peniamina in the centres. Grant said his team was simply outplayed but he was thrilled with his young team making the playoffs. Marist will now play Waimea Old Boys who accounted for Waitohi

in a much closer contest at Jubilee Park, where the hosts eventually took the step to the final by virtue of a 37-22 victory. Wanderers will return to Brightwater on Saturday for the opening game in the local Nelson Championship at Centennial Park at 3pm. The match will be preceded by the Taylors Wanderers womens team who will host Moutere at 1.15pm. Last year when these two teams met the score was a resounding

96-0 win for Moutere, and on April 28 when the teams met at Spring Creek, the 2019 Wanderers team had improved to reduce the score to 29-10 and no doubt further improvement during this season will have boosted confidence for an equal contest.. Coach Ian Biggs, assisted by Wayne Bateman, Sam Burling and Ricky Leef, has created a fine culture within this young group of women who are making fine progress and attracting new players each week, again a reflection

on the ethics and values respected by the group. With the growth in women’s rugby nationally mirroring the decline in teenage male participation, it is extremely satisfying to be involved at Wanderers where the female participation at all age grade levels parallels the national trend. Young girls are performing and starring in the JAB teams, and the recent dedicated sponsorship involvement of 3 Bee and Roeske Mulch n Digg enables Wanderers to promote female rugby.

Wanderers Sports Club acknowledges the wonderful support from our valued sponsors and partners

Talented trio ‘Wanderer’ south and find a home Jacob Page

With a hatrick of tries, Zyon Holo.

Sports Editor

sports@nelsonweekly.co.nz

A trio of former star Auckland secondary school rugby players are making an impact for Wanderers in 2019 and it turns out the community is having a positive impact on them. Loose forward Chris Hala’ufia, prop Zyon Holo and centre Apetone Vaka, all 18, came to Nelson this season to be part of the Tasman Rugby Union Academy after stellar campaigns with 2019 national champions St Peter’s College, where they won the Auckland 1A schoolboys competition last year as well as the Moascar Cup - the national secondary schools equivalent of the Ranfurly Shield - in their final game. The trio share a flat at Washington Heights in Nelson, the first time they have lived away from home. Holo admits the more relaxed southern lifestyle has its perks but also takes some getting used to. ”Everyone here is so nice,” he said. ”When we first moved in together we struggled to get our

washing machine to work and we had this old lady helping us to get it going. ”In Auckland, people would just stay away and not help with a

situation like that. Holo said the whole Wanderers team, who were beaten semi-finalists in the Tasman Trophy, all enjoyed playing with each other

because most of the team was young and hungry. ”We were all pretty shy in the beginning but we’ve all really enjoyed playing at Wanderers,”

he said. All three players are damaging ball runners but Holo said the Academy and Wanderers coaching staff had helped them work on the subtle areas of their game. ”My scrummaging has really improved, it was something I wanted to work on and get better at. For all three, the goal is to one day become a Tasman Mako but each accept there is still a way to go. Wanderers coach Glenn Grant said the trio have brought a different element to the team. ”Tone has been unlucky with injury but Chris and Zyon have been really good for us. ”Being away from home for the first time they’ve had to grow up a bit, but they’re very respectful and the raw talent is there. ”They have a great game pedigree, they definitely have that X-factor.” Grant says the trio had dominated schoolboy rugby through natural talent at times and it was important for them to learn core skills which are important at club level. ”We’ve had (former Super Rugby front-rower) Dan Perrin working with Zyon where we can and that’s been really good.

From June, Downer will carry out some minor roadworks in Richmond’s Queen Street. The work will include repairs to manholes, valve fittings and garden borders on the road and footpath. Downer will try to carry out the work at quieter times of day to minimise any disruption to the street. The contract for the Queen Street Upgrade carried out last year committed Downer to repairing any defects that were found following the upgrade’s completion. There have been several small repair jobs identified since the street reopened, which the contractor will work on over the next few months. Downer will be touch with anyone who might be directly affected by the work prior to starting that job. We don’t anticipate much disruption to businesses or the public’s daily enjoyment of Queen Street.

Public access to the eastern half of Moturoa/Rabbit Island will be closed while an organised game bird hunt takes place. The closure includes all the beach front at the eastern end of the island. Fish and Game organise the hunts, which are timed to coincide with low tide to avoid any effect on shore birds. No hunting is allowed within 100 metres of the high tide mark. Closure dates 2019:
