Snowden’s Bush ‘buy it for the public’ Bruno Saia Reporter

bruno@waimeaweekly.co.nz

The race is officially on for a trust to raise $350,000 within 12 months so it can purchase a piece of land near Brightwater to gift

back to the community. The Snowden’s Bush Trust is a charitable trust created by a group of Brightwater residents who were fearful that 3,500m² owned by the Nelson Diocesan Trust, was going to be turned into a housing development. Snowden’s Bush covers over five

hectares on Waimea West Road and is a rare example of the podocarp forest that once covered much of the area. Crucially, it is one of the last surviving native lowland bush areas of the Waimea Plains. So the group of residents set about saving it, by buying and donating the land to

the Department of Conservation. On Friday the two trusts signed an agreement to give the community group 12 months to raise the money. Snowden’s Bush Trust chair Jeremy Cameron says the occasion marked a formal commitment from the Diocese to give them the time it needed.

“Now the trust and the community need to go ahead and raise the rest of this money.” Donations can be made through the Trust’s Facebook page, through Givealittle or through their website www. snowdensbushtrust.nz.

Business fund raises for girl Bruno Saia Emma Guyer is a 12-year old smiley girl who likes to study, to draw and to spend quality time with her family and friends. She was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumour that is the third cancer she has had to fight against. She was the winner of a colouring competition at Westmeat and when she went there to collect her prize, her smile was recognised. “She has a page at the ‘Give a Little’ website and one of the staff members recognised her from there”, says Kate Pullar, Westmeat’s shop manager. “When we saw the story on the page we were all crushed”. Then they decided to help. “We thought that it would be a good idea if we got together when we’ve got our day off and just do like a fundraiser barbecue for her”, she says. According to Kate, Westmeat is going to donate all the meat towards it so all the profit will go to Emma’s family. The barbecue will be on August 24th, from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm. “Everyone is invited,” she says.

Fundraiser BBQ for a young girl FROM PAGE 1 Emma was proud of herself for winning the colouring prize and happy about the fundraiser barbecue. “I won sausages as the prize and I already had them for dinner,” she says. “I will come for the barbecue and I want to say thank you to everyone”. According to her profile at Givealittle website, Emma was diagnosed with a cancer-

ous brain tumour at the age of 6 which was successfully removed and treated with radiation. When she was 8 years old, the tumour returned in her spine and also successfully treated. Now her brain tumour has returned and she needs all the help that she can get. “You can all imagine what this family has already been and is currently going through. Jenny, Aaron, and step dad Coopz

The donations will be used to fulfil Emma’s dreams and desires, plus alternative treatments. Emma is pretty sure of what those dreams are. “When I’m older I want to be a preschool teacher,” she says.

Snowden’s Bush Trust starts fundraising

Authorised by Maureen Pugh MP, Parliament Buildings, Wellington.

FROM PAGE 1 The whole process started in July 2018 thanks to the initiative of Janice Gibbs, who has been living in Brightwater for the last 10 years. “It started when the church applied to change the use of the land here,” she says. According to Janice, a notice was put out to inform the community that the land would be subdivided to build eight houses. “I felt that it should be kept as a reserve for the community,” she says. “It’s for the young people of Brightwater and the community”. Alan Wright, from the Brightwater Parish, says that the price of $350,000 is a discount of some 30 percent of its market value of $500,000. “I think the people should sup-

NMIT Richmond Campus at 390 Lower Queen St.

Government wants NMIT Jonty Dine

The Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology will be merged into a single nationwide polytechnic under a new government policy. NMIT is one of 16 institutes of technology and polytechnics which will be brought under a single national institute, the NZ Institute of Skills and Technology, which will start on 1 April, 2020. Chair of NMIT Daryl Wehner says the council was concerned that the original proposals consulted on would remove the organisation’s flexibility and autonomy and reduce capacity to react quickly to local requirements and priorities. There was also a concern that cash reserves could be consumed within a larger structure. However, he says, those

issues have been mainly addressed. “The changes align with the strategic direction we have been pursuing. This positions us strongly to play a core role during the establishment phase and to continue to operate in a way that reflects regional employer requirements.” However, Nelson MP Nick Smith describes the announcement as a “body blow for our region”. “This centralisation takes control away from Nelson and scraps NMIT’s separate identity and good name. He says the long-term implications of shifting control of our polytechnic from its Nelson board to Wellington bureaucrats will be fewer training opportunities and less Nelson jobs. However, not all are opposed to the move as former Labour candidate and

former NMIT Student Association President Rachel Boyack says the announcement brings opportunity for the whole region. “We have a particular issue with courses not matching up to what’s needed in industry.” She says tertiary institutions and industries aren’t as joined as they should be and under one body, we will see the proper match of skills required. Rachel assures students that there will be no changes for any existing students and courses are continuing. Education Minister Chris Hipkins said the sector needed an overhaul because automation will affect one third of all jobs and, as early as 2022, more than half of all workers will require up-skilling and retraining.

Sunday morning saw the first of three local government buyback schemes of semi-automatic weapons. Although the turnout was sparse at first, police appeared happy with the event. Local shooter and AR15 owner Steve Page said he was pleasantly surprised at the environment and attitude from the police. “Right from the word go the atmosphere was not confrontational or punishing in any way and all of the police present were friendly and helpful, and most understood that this was, for some owners, a difficult situation”. Inside the Hope hall was a well organised procedure with obvious safety checks at the door, and once inside there were refreshments, biscuits and even lollies for some of the youngsters who accompanied their parents. Normal hall tables were set out with lots of seating and a choice of relevant magazines were there to read as you waited for your allocated number to be called. When it was, you went up with your firearms and sat down with one of the recovery team and went through the process. On hand was Derek Coffey, the local police arms officer, who

Locals Steve Page and Stan Hayward at the first of the govt firearm buybacks. also vetted the guns and after the allocated for the weapons and accheck of licence and serial num- cessories handed in. bers, amounts and values were The process was clear, friendly.

The weapon was handed over and you received in writing a receipt of the amounts agreed to and what was to be paid into a nominated account within 10 days. The police are also happy that if you get home and find you may have overlooked another weapon you were permitted to have as many opportunities as you needed to comply with the law. Some of the folk present had quite a few weapons but most had two or three, and most bought in any mag extensions for forfeiture as these made a legal gun illegal. “In my case”, ‘Steve said’, “I had an Colt AR15 with extra mag, suppressor, and charge handle. “I am quite happy with what the government offered as a price however my gun was new. “That made the valuation process pretty simple, but it would have been hugely different with a 10-year-old well cared for gun’s price. “But I struggle with them wanting me to hand in my son’s 15 shot lever action .22 which was also new, I think that was a push too far as I saw some beautiful 22’s also being handed in. I kinda get the big assault gun thing but not the genuine hunting rifles, especially in .22. lever actions or

even 4 shot semi’s like some of the Brownings I saw. These rifles have been around for some time with little or no fanfare”. While most concede the event went very smoothly and full credit to the police who, we again remind the public, are only doing what they have been instructed to do. Its still a long way to go and, as they say, the jury is still out on just how effective this whole exercise will end up being.

Just a thought... Philippa MacManus

ask me: Why do you forgive someone who has killed your beloved wife? The answer is...I have a faith…I don’t want to have a heart that is boiling like a volcano…I want a heart that will be full of love and care, and will have mercy. I have chosen peace. I have chosen love, and I have forgiven.” What a powerful expression of his Islamic faith, and what a powerful message to us of any faith. A message that belongs, and must be heard, not just ‘out there’ where physical violence and division are most extreme – but a message for right here and now where we are, in our town, in our communities, in our churches, in our homes and in our hearts. While guns and bombs may not be our weapons of choice, or used against us, violence is in us and around us. Our words and actions, or lack of,

Raewards shout swimming lessons for local kids Bruno Saia NBS Bank and Raeward Fresh are the sponsors for 80 children to have free-swimming classes at Richmond Aquatic Centre. “It’s a great opportunity for kids who wouldn’t be able to afford those classes” says Crystal Gaiger, Marketing and Administration Coordinator at the Aquatic Centre. The school age children (from 6 to 12) are having two terms with 10 classes each. “We were looking at the statistics, the number of drownings and the number of kids that can’t swim, and we saw the need for everybody to be safe around water. We wanted to do something to give back to the community so what better way than to partner with local businesses, it’s all about locals supporting locals.” she says. Gareth and Laura Caldwell, from Raeward Fresh, have their children doing swimming classes at the Aquatic Centre and they were keen to provide this opportunity to others. “We have a really good relationship with these guys and they asked if we wanted to be a part of it and for us, it was a nice thing that we were able to help the kids”. Raeward Fresh is responsible for the sponsorship of 10 children and the NBS Bank for the other 70 children. Howie Timms is the commercial manager at the NBS Bank and supports the initiative. “When they approached us about sponsoring this activity it was a pretty easy thing to get behind”, he says. “Supporting 70 kids learning to swim over two terms is such a great initiative and we are happy to be involved.” The children have already started their classes and most of them are from Big Brothers Big Sisters Nelson. “We offered it out to the tamariki that are on our programme and everyone who wanted to have classes, got them”, says Chelsea Routhan, Director of Big Brothers Big Sisters Nelson. There are a few places available for the sponsored swimming classes in term 3 and term 4. If you are keen to participate, visit Richmond Aquatic Centre Facebook page and fill the form.

Richmond District Community Patrol needs a mobile AED (Automated External Defibrillator) to help support the community. The cost for the defibrillator is approximately $2,000. “I am based at the Police Station every day so if we hear something coming up, maybe we can get there before anybody else,” says Marty Price, Coordinator Neighbourhood Support Waimea. “We thought it would be an added support for the community”. Richmond District Community Patrol acquired an AED in 2018 in partnership with Neighbourhood

Support Waimea. The defibrillator is currently placed in front of Richmond Police Station and it has been used seven times in 2019. “People have to ring 111 to access it and it’s pretty quick and easy to get into it,” says Marty. The intention is to keep the AED at the station and get another one for the car, so it could be used in emergencies and also by the patrol. “It will be great if people could donate some money to the Richmond Community Patrol to get another AED”, says Marty. “If there are some businesses which want to pay for one for us and donate it, just contact me at the station”. People can also get in touch with the Richmond Community Patrol through their Facebook page.

Tasman Mayor Richard Kempthorne has welcomed the Government’s announcement that a dedicated water regulator will be established to oversee drinking water regulation. The Three Waters Review is a cross-agency initiative led by the Minister of Local Government to review how to improve the regulation and supply arrangements of drinking water, wastewater and stormwater. “We have a very good history of providing safe water to our communities in Tasman, and we have a good relationship with the local health authorities who support us in that work. Residents need to have confidence that their drink-

ing water is safe and I’m very supportive of the regulatory framework that is proposed,” says Tasman Mayor Richard Kempthorne. According to Richard, the costs associated with the Government’s review were not yet known, but it was clear any upgrades needed to the Council’s existing water infrastructure would come at a cost to ratepayers. “It may be that the regulator expects increased treatment of drinking water. If that is the case there will be a corresponding increase in the cost of providing that water. One of the biggest challenges will be rural water supplies, many of which were originally developed largely as stock drink-

Letter to the Editor

I want to respond to the write-up in 31 July paper about ‘community voice secures future development’. Well, the figures in that appear in that statement are ludicrous to say the least, as our region now is getting over developed. Already, housing is encroaching on our food bowl for our region,

the infrastructure now cannot cope & you are talking about another 24,000 houses in the region. It is very clear to me that this is being driven by greedy Realestate agents, building companies & Councils. We do not have a housing problem, we have an immigration problem. If the Government was seri-

ing water schemes and which would be very expensive to bring up to the standards expected of urban supplies that provide drinking water to a large population. There could be a need for Government support if those supplies have to have significant treatment upgrades.” The Council has allocated $27 million in its Long-Term budgets between 2018 and 2025 to upgrade drinking water infrastructure across the district. “Until we know exactly what upgrades we may need to carry out, we won’t know the total cost, but we have anticipated that work will be needed and tried to plan for that as best we can,” Richard said.

ous about the housing, they would remove all the old public houses & replace them with apartments blocks. Australia made the mistake of building housing on the good land & now are importing food from China, we do not want to go down that road. Roger Jones

Sara Hollyman The Supreme New Build Award in the House of the Year 2019 awards was won by Inhaus for a home in Richmond. Judges say the Richmond home, which was also the winner in the New Build $600-750k category, was built with a “fine eye for precision”. They say the beautifully-crafted interior plywood subdividers and ceiling panels, as well as cedar weatherboard that frames impressive views of surrounding landscape, combined to set the home well above the competition. “There are a variety of purpose-built rooms consistently well-crafted. The level of perfection shown throughout makes Inhaus a worthy winner.” Homes in Stoke, Monaco and Nelson City have claimed regional titles, winning out over their Marlborough and West Coast competitors. However, one home – a new build by Scott Construction, which overlooks Nelson’s Christ Church Cathedral - claimed six awards. Although they didn’t pick up the Supreme Award, Scott Construction also added two more awards to their haul including four of the five lifestyle awards. The six awards for the central-city home include category and gold awards for the Builders Own Home category as well as Interior Design, Outdoor Living, Craftmanship and Heart of the Home Kitchen Awards. They also took out category and gold awards in the Multi-Unit (Apartments/Duplexes/Terraces) category for a Stoke build. The competition is divided into two parts – the first at a regional level, the second at a national level. The top 100 homes from 10 regional awards will go through to be judged in the national

awards, which will be announced in November. A new home in Monaco, which was built by Dan Anderson Building after the owners decided to demolish their existing home, took out the New Home $1-1.5million Award. Mike Greer Homes Nelson claimed the top Volume/Group Housing New Home up to $450k Award for a three-bedroom home in Stoke. A Marsden Valley home which was build by Contemporary Homes won the Show Home category in the House of the Year 2019.

‘Inspiring’ people at AgeConnect Champion Awards Susan Johnson The AgeConnect Champion Awards were held last Friday at Elim Church. The awards are in their second year now and are an opportunity for AgeConnect to highlight businesses, organisations and individuals that are doing their bit for the ageing population. Eight awards were given, including People’s Choice for overall winner. Nominations came from members of the public, businesses, recipient’s and witnesses. The Awards recognize those across the region who are making sure the older members of our community are safe, welcome and socially connected. From volunteers offering friendships, to large businesses with a policy of employing people over 60, the aim is to highlight and thank everyone who is making Nelson and Tasman a great place to grow old. AgeConcern Nelson/ Tasman manager Caroline Budge says ” the awards are a great celebration of people from all sectors – community, businesses

and health – who are supporting older people. ‘We come across so many people through our work who amaze us with their generosity of spirit and kindness and we really wanted to be able to celebrate that.” AgeConnect coordinator, Breffni O’Rourke, says “the Awards are a definite highlight of the year, and the hardest part is not being able to make everyone an overall Champion!” “The aim really is to get people thinking about what makes a business or a space age-friendly, and to encourage everyone to think about older people in their everyday work.” Glenda Loftus, store manager of Black Pepper, certainly enjoyed the ceremony. The store was finalist in two categories. “Ït was inspiring, I didn’t know there were so many people in Nelson helping the elderly.” Nominees were varied, from sports club and banks, to colleges, hair salons and even a horse. Sally Curtis and her Clydesdale Tyson visit resthomes and hospices and were

Nelson Matters The Government’s decision to nationalise our Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology into a mega institute of New Zealand’s 16 polytechnics and 11 industry training organisations is huge for Nelson. It’s so important this is an extended column. Nelson has had an independent polytechnic for 115 years and it is one of New Zealand’s most innovative and successful. It was ranked New Zealand’s top polytechnic in 2018 with high qualification completion rates and excellent job placement figures. It is financially strong with over $20 million in reserves. The colocation of our Chamber of Commerce and the Regional Development Agency at NMIT shows the strength of its links with local businesses. NMIT is not broken and does not need fixing. NMIT’s importance to Nelson is that it is one of only three major public institutions funded by Government alongside our hospital and the independent Cawthron

Institute. We do not, like many other regions, have a university, defence base or prison. NMIT is a critical economic asset that earns Nelson over $40 million a year and which employs 300 Nelsonians. We must jealously guard this. This mega-merger means Nelson loses control and the good name and brand of NMIT. Its Board is currently made up of 100% locals. The new governance board announced last Friday has no one from Nelson or Marlborough. Our current Chief Executive effectively becomes a branch manager. The Government is taking the assets like the land in Hardy Street that was paid for by Nelson ratepayers. Labour justifies this radical change saying some institutions are in financial trouble. The bulk of the losses were at one institute – Unitec in Auckland. Why punish well run institutes for the poorly run ones? Why opt for a megainstitute when it is the biggest that is in trouble?

Education Minister Chris Hipkins says there are too many institutions running programmes like training truck drivers, teachers and nurses. Some regions like Nelson will lose these programmes. This ignores that many students have family and other commitments that means they need local programmes. Labour believes big government is better and more efficient. The Kiwibuild failure shows this ideology is flawed. Over $200 million is planned to be spent on the administration and rebranding costs of the change. This money would be better spent on students and training. Labour has no mandate for this radical change. It was not mentioned by them at the last election. 80% of public submissions opposed the proposal of a single nationwide polytechnic. Industry Training Organisations say it will “wreck” the system. Invercargill Mayor Tim Shadbolt says it will “rip the heart out of regional New

fervescent and caring nature, and her determination to adapt the exercises and equipment so disabled people can also take part’ Mary-Ann manages the facility and together they run the classes for 65+ fitness classes and social outings. Tasman District Library ticked multiple boxes, with agefriendly technology and running lots of programmes to help the older person learn the digital world. For allowing guide dogs and mobility scooters through the door, for their award-winning book delivery service and much more. The Peoples Overall Champion was Men’s Shed Waimea. With men’s mental health in the spotlight at the moment this older demographic is particularly at risk, so to have an anchor in the Men’s Shed is very important. They help young men gain practical skills and they make and install rails to allow people to be safer in their homes and toys for local kindergartens. The Men’s Shed ticked every award category in the AgeConnect champion sheet.

Zealand.” The Government’s own advisers have warned that these Polytech changes will fail. Treasury says it will cause “extreme workplace disruption” and will have “extreme impacts on regions.” NMIT leaders are in an awful position. If they criticise the reforms, they undermine the confidence of their staff and students. They put their own jobs at risk. They have chosen to damn it with faint praise. I commend them for their efforts in at least protecting NMIT’s cash reserves. I have four major concerns. I oppose the loss of local control. I worry there will be fewer local training opportunities and apprenticeships. I am concerned about the disruption and loss of Nelson jobs. My concern is fewer international students and the loss of their $6 million contribution to Nelson’s economy. I hate opposition for opposition’s sake. If the Government is doing

good I am happy to say so as I did with the PM’s reaction to the Christchurch Mosque attacks. My opposition to this nationalisation of NMIT is that it will be bad for Nelson. NMIT is not perfect nor is New Zealand’s tertiary education system. I could support positive reforms to the outdated funding system. We need to encourage quality rather than bums on seats. We should not be replicating course design. We need tighter controls on polytechs setting up outside their region. We need to put more emphasis on apprenticeships. The answers will not come from centralisation and side lining industry. I am launching a campaign to save NMIT. I want to retain local decision making, retain local ownership of our assets and to keep industry involved in apprenticeships. Join me in Albion Square, opposite NMIT’s main office, noon next Tuesday 13 August. NMIT is worth fighting for. Advert.

OPEN NOW Old FactOry cOrNEr 151 aPPlEby HigHWay Connings Food Market has been in the pipeline since the beginning of 2017, when the original store, Farm Fresh, opened its doors. Formerly the old cheese factory built by Waimea Dairy Company in 1914, the Conning family took over the building two years ago and slowly stocked the shelves with more and more fresh produce. Now in 2019, Daniel Smith Builders and other local contractors have recently completed the family’s stunning new modern building behind the old Farm Fresh site. The stylish new complex, which is clad in black corrugated iron, has a light, spacious interior with beautiful wooden features. In the centre of its large retail space which is brimming with fresh fruit and vegetables, there is a delightful deli area where Nelson’s Soul Arch coffee is served. An evolving project, ultimately it will include two hospitality spaces, outdoor dining areas and up to eight retail spaces. Connings Food Market is the first completed building, with the first hospitality space planned for completion in 2020. The old cheese factory building still exists

This started with Simon and his partner Léa as a road-side stall in 2017, but quickly outgrew its small space. Soon a new building was rising out of the carpark, the new home of ‘Connings Food Market.’

“Léa is passionate about reducing waste and is determined to cement this as a key value across the entire business. In keeping with the old building, the new complex is meant to be colonial style, so we’ve modernised that concept with the two peaks and we’ve added trusses from Potius Building Systems, plus all the LVL from Nelson Pine Industries. Everyone we have had onboard with the project is young and energetic, including Kate Ginders our architect and Dave Grieg our landscape architect, who is also passionate about his work. We are pretty happy with the way the concept has evolved.” Simon says it was inspired by places like Moore Wilsons (Wellington) and The Farm (Byron Bay). A growing business with plans to expand “Dad’s got a lot more experience than us. We came in here and didn’t really know what we were doing. At the old shop, we had bins out the front and an honesty box, that’s how we got started. That was two years ago and this is where we are now. We have

Bursting with colour, there is large variety of fresh produce available, everything from pumpkin, broccoli, onions and cauliflower to carrots, spinach and mandarins. “People are moving away from meat and three veg,” says Simon. “Broccoli and cauliflower are in big demand, with new trends like cauliflower rice taking off. Anything we don’t sell goes to Kai Rescue, the rest goes to the pigs.” Ben, the youngest brother, manages the farm, taking care of the sales and harvesting side. “Lettuce has traditionally been a big part of our business, however it’s a dying crop with all of the new mesclun varieties avail-

I’m in charge of planting and getting the crop up to harvest, then Ben takes over. Mum and dad were in it for about 40 years. Dad was shearing originally, then he started growing veggies on his dad’s farm. He’s very good at overseeing the whole operation and has designed a computer

system that has all the information, so anyone can go on there and see when things need to be sown or planted. He’s not stuck in ways of ‘old school’ farming; he’s always looking to better everything. I love being outdoors in all weather; the drought was pretty tough but we somehow managed to get through it; definitely slowed us up with our plantings though and, because it’s been a lot warmer this winter, everything has come early this year.”

It’s like an extension of the farm business, tying it all together with what we grow. There’s been a growing demand for fruit and veggies because people are more aware of having produce that is ‘farm fresh’ like the berries; we don’t actually sell much through the markets, it’s mostly picked and sold ourselves and a lot of the stuff we grow, we do it for our own shop. It’s all changing so fast.” For Robbie and Cheryl, the business has come a

long way since they ran a shop in Brightwater during the 90s. “The people we would serve back then are coming into buy here – it’s amazing.” Robbie says the three boys were off the farm and weren’t coming home, so he said one day, “if you aren’t coming back, I think it’s time to sell up, so amazingly, they all trickled home. Then we spotted the old factory and decided to buy it. Simon wanted to develop it; he’s got a vision for the whole complex,” says Robbie. “At the moment he’s been busy building a container for ice creams to put out the front.” With concerns about residential housing encroaching on valuable growing land on the outskirts of Richmond, it’s timely that the Connings Food Market has been established. “Nelson and the Waimea Plains is the ‘food bowl’ of the south. You can grow here when you can’t in Christchurch or when it’s too humid in Auckland. We need to protect the growing areas around the region for the future.” The Connings Food Market is a relaxed destination to shop for affordable, farm-fresh fruit and vegetables, fabulous artisan goods and enjoy good coffee.

Appleby Farms has become expert in creating a business that goes from “cow to cone”. The Richmond-based ice cream company were the case study at last week’s Export Regulatory Requirements Seminar at the Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce, run in conjunction with the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI). “Appleby Farms is a very new company,” says the CEO Mike Brown. It all started when Julian and Cathy Raine, whose home farm is in Stoke, together with Murray and Sarah King, whose home farm is in Appleby, wanted to move beyond farmgate selling. “Their idea was to produce the very best ice cream from their own milk,” says Mike. The couples knew what they were reaching for from the beginning. “It was very clear what they wanted to achieve with their ice cream and how they would promote it.” Mike says that it was about farming sustainably and producing their ice cream in their own creamery. “So that is why we call it ‘cow to cone’.” They knew from the beginning that they wanted to go offshore, but they also realised that a domestic presence should be part of

that export strategy. “If you want to be a strong export brand, especially into Asia, it’s really important to have a strong domestic presence, because the customers want to see that you are an authentic New Zealand brand,” says Mike.

The plant in Stoke was commissioned in December 2017. “In six months, we had to put all the equipment in, design the packaging, do the product development and make sure that we

were ready for sale,” she says. In December 2017, Nelson became the first region that the ice cream was sold in. “We deliberately had a domestic focus before we thought about having an export focus,” says Kristy. Appleby Farm entered five products into the New Zealand market and won five awards at

the 2018 NZ Ice Cream Awards. In May, after extensive research, these five core flavours were launched in Singapore after they developed a Custom Export Risk Management Plan. “Some of the learnings from this exercise are that the dairy legislation is complex and no-one is an expert,” Kristy says. “Another thing that we learned is that we should have picked up the phone and spoken to MPI a lot earlier, they were really helpful.” Trina Zimmerman, from Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce, recognises that, being an exportdriven region, for many businesses that are wanting to expand into new markets, export may be the next step. “The seminar highlighted the need to research new markets fully before embarking on what can be an expensive exercise when things go wrong.” MPI principal adviser Brad Young says that their exporter regulatory advice service is available to make it easier for exporters to understand and navigate exporting requirements for NZ food and primary products. “We can help current exporters and also those new to exporting.” People can contact the MPI through their website or by emailing exporterhelp@mpi.govt.nz.

Jacks Pip Richmond F45 Kathleen Thornalley The Richmond F45 premier netball team were happy to have a full and fit bench, which made all the difference against a top ranked Jacks side at Saxton Stadium on Thursday night.Jacks started in strong form, jumping ahead with slick transitions from mid court to goal post. Richmond F45’s Sarah Steele and Kat Jones responded early with tips and incerteptions, putting pressure on the shooting contingent to end the quarter with a close 12 - 14 score line. With Richmond F45 down by just two points at quarter time, the team entered the second quarter with a boosted sense of confidence and determination. Tia van Diepen created good space for MacKenzie Orange, who fired a series of well timed passes into the shooting circle, while Amy Cunningham disrupted Jacks’ circle

edge at the other end of the court. Jacks’ Jess Drummond was superb in her mid court play, directing her shooters well and making smooth connections, going into the half time break with a score of 29 - 24 in Jack’s favour. Jones played a tight and clever defensive game in the third quarter, while van Diepen executed well to bring Richmond F45 back within two goals. Rebekah Shepherd showed experience and control in the Centre position, keeping tight on Jacks’ heels throughout the game. Kirsty Thompson was exceptional for Jacks, skillfully disrupting the ball and causing havoc. Meanwhile Steele and Jones continue to keep defensive pressure on and made Jacks’ shooters work hard. Jacks ultimately ran away with a 52- 42 win, but Richmond F45 will be proud of their efforts after giving the top seeded side a solid contest.

Jonty Dine Since signing with Welsh giants Scarlets as a 16-year-old, halfback Declan Smith has already experienced the perils of professional rugby. After representing the national U20s and making two appearances for the Pro14 side, Declan’s contract was not renewed, and the 21-yearold’s future was uncertain. “I was on a fiveyear contract, which came to an end, and then I spent about a month just really struggling to find a club.” But an unlikely lifeline would come from the other side of the world. “My agent got in touch and asked if I fancied playing some club footy in New Zealand.” The 21-year-old

linked up with Stoke and didn’t take long to make his presence felt. After lighting up the Tasman Trophy with his deceptive pace, crisp passing and pinpoint kicking, Declan was soon catching the attention of Mako selectors. He was given the starting nine jersey in the side’s final pre-season hit-out on Friday. Though coaches and players will tell you the results bear little consequence, it was hard to ignore the emphatic statement made by the Mako against Ranfurly Shield

holders Otago. The Mako ran in eight tries in trying conditions as they hammered the men from the deep south 54-19. Declan says after some hard work at training, the team fully deserved the win. However, he says the side has plenty of lessons to learn. “We will be back in the classroom on Monday and figure out what we need to do before next Saturday.” Declan was not named in the official squad on Saturday but will remain with the team as an extended squad member.

Wanderers Sports Club Report

Wanderers eye the future With senior club rugby completed for the 2019 season, and with Taylors Wanderers Rugby Club’s desire to field a team next season in the Under-18 championship, it was a golden opportunity on Saturday for some Wanderers supporters and sponsors to view the up-and-coming young players in the area. The Waimea College Under-16 team hosted Motueka High School in the Tasman age-grade competition, on Saturday. In perfect conditions the good crowd was treated to a fine game, with both teams contributing manfully. Waimea started with a period of 15 minutes of almost complete dominance, scoring two good tries through excellent continuity play, moving Motueka around from left to right then back again, with Motueka unable to get out of their own territory. However, after 15 minutes, Motueka gained an ascendency and a fine break out by their centre saw play carry into the Waimea 22, where Motueka stayed until eventually scoring a fully-deserved try. The forward exchanges were even, but Waimea had a slight edge when moving the ball due to better support play, and another try was scored just prior to halftime, which arrived with the score at 17-5 to Waimea College. A feature of play with age grade rugby is the half game rule, introduced by New Zealand Rugby in 2014 in an effort to improve game time for all players and address low retention rates especially among teenager participants. This requires all teams below

The Waimea College Under-16 team hosted Motueka High School in the Tasman age-grade competition, on Saturday. 1stXV level to ensure that all team members play at least half the match, encouraging better coaching methods and often improved team spirit. Substitutions can be made at each quarter of the match. Waimea did appear to have an advantage in the second half where they again dominated early and scored three additional tries to get out to a 36-5 lead. Motueka again stormed back with two fine team tries of their own to close to 36-17. An outstanding team try that flowed almost the full length of the field following a turnover, and some interaction between backs and forwards, resulted in fullback, Flynn Goedert diving over in the corner. A final try, following an excellent offload from the ground by lock Callum Stuart, took the score out to 46-17 and the game ended without any further change. Waimea College can be rightly

satisfied with the performance, scoring eight tries through hard running, good support and variation of play. Undoubtedly, they will want to address the tardy defence that allowed Motueka on five occasions to regather dropped balls unhindered behind the advantage line, due to no pressure by the defence. That will need to improve before playing Marlborough Boys’ College on Saturday in the last round of the TRU Cup before the winner progresses to the final the following week. Coaches Gus Shirley and Shane Huhu were happy with the standard of play, considering that it was the first game for three weeks, following the recent holidays, especially the manner in which the backs and forwards linked together. The team has a motto this year; ‘better each week’, and each week the team has improved, both in performance but more impor-

tantly in understanding, with a number of players demonstrating a personal growth that should allow them to play at a higher level in 2020. Player of the Day, Callum Little, ran hard and challenged the Motueka defence all day even though against one of Motueka’s better players. Callum Stuart at lock also was acknowledged for his tireless work in the tight, where his commitment and decision-making were very good. Lucien Takimoana was also mentioned for his endeavours, again in the tight exchanges and scrummaging, and his progress during the season confirms the team motto, as he is definitely getting better each week. The ‘two Lukes’, Luke Brown and Luke Shirley, directed play well in the halves and Brown’s service was sharp and accurate, allowing time and space for all the backs to show their skills.

Up front, Cameron Black, Lawson Ingles and Thomas Bailey were a formidable back row and Noah Fraser and Bailey Basalaj impressed as impact players, but it really was a complete team performance. A better performance in Blenheim on Saturday will see the team into the final and that would be a wonderful but deserved result for the work done this year. The Wanderers Club sends best wishes to the team. This week will see a full round of games at Centennial Park and Lord Rutherford for the Taylors Wanderers JAB teams, with 10 games between 9.30am and 12.30pm. Full entertainment guaranteed. Upcoming events at the club will include the Senior Prizegiving on Saturday, August 24 with Ian Kirkpatrick as guest speaker, and the JAB Prizegiving on August 30 with All Blacks loosie Liam Squire in attendance.

We have to find a new home for our 8 year old purebred Border Collie. After moving rural we find the sound of guns, and gas cannons upset him pretty bad. It’s no fun for any of us so after considerable thought we need him to go to a new home. He’s a Blue Mearle, that’s the grey and white dog, he’s been neutered and is a very obedient dog. He loves walks, takes no notice of other dogs and loves human company but like all collies is a bit nutty. Not in a bad way just he likes things so. As we now live next to a river and next to a vineyard with bird scarers he frets all the time. If you would like a good companion that’s healthy etc call Jenny on 0275 449 730.
