Vandals kill trees in Wakefield JO KENT A “senseless” act of vandalism has condemned two trees to a slow death on Wakefield’s Railway Reserve after their trunks were ringbarked late on Sunday night. The damage to the 25-year-old tilia trees was spotted by local walker Bob Croy when out for his

morning stroll near Belfit Lane last Monday. “What’s in someone’s head to carry out the destruction of two beautiful trees like this? It really sickens you. It’s senseless.” The trees are well-loved by the community and many families have been left distraught at the thought of losing them.

Mum-of-three Jenny Lines says her property backs on to the trees and her kids love playing on them. “We don’t have any large climbing trees in our garden, so the boys have spent hours climbing these trees on the reserve behind our house. The trees were even more appreciated during both the lock-

downs, when the kids had energy to burn and nowhere to go. “It’s really disappointing to think this may have been done intentionally. I really appreciate the access we have to this reserve and other similar areas around our community, the beautiful established trees are part of that.” Reserves officer for TDC, Richard

Hilton, who assessed the damage, says both trees are severely damaged and can’t be saved. “The vascular bundles, which are like people’s veins, are beyond repair which means the trees won’t be able to take any moisture or goodness from the ground to

Don’t rush into something. Take it quietly and look around.

There is no hurry choosing what you want to do. It may take time. You don’t have to stay doing the same thing. Think carefully about your future and what you care about.

Listen to people that say to save for your future. The temptation when you are young is to live at 100 miles an hour. Then down the track you say “I only wish …”

Get all the information you can about what you are interested in. That will help make a good decision.

Vandals kill trees in Wakefield FROM PAGE 1 survive.” Although the trees will take upwards of three years to actually die, they will start showing signs of deterioration next season. “Next year there won’t be as much spread or as many leaves, and it will gradually thin out. We may get away with it, we may not. At the moment it’s really hard to tell, but it’s pointless damage, it really is. Someone has taken their time doing this.” The decision has been made to remove one of the trees immediately to give the other one a better chance of survival. “It just depends if the blade has gone deep enough to

destroy the cambium layer responsible for the vascular bundles which are the key to survival. I don’t think it’s salvageable but time will tell.” He says a long, sharp blade was used to inflict the damage and it wouldn’t have been easy to do. “They’ve essentially destroyed both trees. Why? We will never know.” Wakefield constable Jamie White says wilful damage has a penalty of three months’ imprisonment or a $2000 fine. “Police are disappointed to hear about this senseless act of vandalism in our community. If anyone has any information, report it to 105 or email Wakefield police.”

Stuart Bryant re-elected Tasman’s deputy mayor MAX FRETHEY

Local Democracy Reporter

Stuart Bryant has been re-elected as the region’s deputy mayor by Tasman District Council after he was recommended by mayor Tim King. While mayors have the ability to appoint a deputy, Tim chose not to exercise that power and instead delegated the choice to an election by Tasman’s councillors. The mayor highlighted Stuart’s experience as a councillor and deputy mayor, as well as his representation of the large and rural Lakes-Murchison Ward, as reasons to re-elect him as deputy. “I think there’s going to be a particularly challenging three years,” Tim says, mentioning the central government’s reform of the Resource Management Act and in areas of biodiversity. “A significant number of the challenges and issues that we will face are going to impact on those rural communities quite significantly,” he says. “Those relationships are going to be absolutely crucial.” Councillor Christeen Mackenzie seconded Tim’s recommendation, speaking to the efforts

Stuart made in the role over the past three years. “I really appreciated the work [Stuart] put in over the last triennium. I’ve certainly seen … the leadership role that [he] played.” The vote was carried by councillors unanimously. “I’m just very honoured and humbled to be elected to that position again,” Stuart says. He agreed with Tim that there will be a lot of work ahead over the next three years. “I don’t expect there’ll be any less challenges. “I expect to be busier than last term.”

Stuart’s election occurred in the reconvened inaugural meeting of Tasman District Council that lasted for only a matter of minutes, finishing after the councillors received a report explaining the laws that affect them and their conduct. “If anyone gets the impression that this is the limit of the kind of days you can expect going forward, please dismiss them from your mind immediately,” Tim laughed.

Building future dreams out of Lego JO KENT TV’s Lego Masters NZ semi-finalist Georgie Palmer will be displaying some of her creations at the Top of the South Brick Show at Hope Hall this weekend. The 20-year-old starred in the first-ever series of the show last year with her dad and says the experience was once-in-a-lifetime. “I’m so glad we did it, but it was such an intense time that I wouldn’t want to do it again.” Filming ran for five weeks, and during that time Lego was literally all she could think about. “Dad and I went running for active relaxation in between the shows. “The competition was so full-on, I’m not sure I’d have got through

she wanted to go on the show to prove that girls can be just as good as boys when it comes to

construction. “It’s not just about building, it’s engineering, design and aesthetics, creative storytelling and so much more. “It’s the whole package and that’s why I love it.” Since appearing on the show, Georgie has been recognised in public and receives fan mail, but struggles with the fame. “When I do the exhibition shows, lots of kids, girls especially, tell me I’ve inspired them, and that aspect has been really rewarding. Those moments make it worthwhile and it’s such a nice feeling to be inspiring a new generation of kids.” Holding her Lego Masters trophy, of which there are only 500 in the entire world, Georgie says

that her life now revolves around music and composing. “It’s funny because music is kind of similar to Lego in that you use blocks to make something big in both of them. But with composing, it’s aspects of music which makes a big new thing.” Currently studying a Bachelor of Music degree at Dunedin, she’s already won awards for her compositions. “I have always been quite creative, so it doesn’t surprise me that it’s the route that I’ve gone down.” The Top of the South Brick Show is on this Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 November at Hope Hall from 9am-5pm (4pm on Sunday). $2 entry, cash only. All profits raised go to support local families affected by the Nelson floods.

NBS chopper appeal raises $130k for trust The Top of the South community has given generously to help keep a most vital service, the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter in the air. The NBS Rescue Helicopter Appeal raised a total of $130,402.90 during October. Rescue Helicopter Trust general manager, Paula Muddle thanked local businesses. “We are so grateful to everyone who got involved in this year’s campaign who drove a number of activities that really made a difference to the final total.” NBS chief executive, Tony Cadigan says he is “absolutely delighted” with the increase in funds raised, up from $64k last year. “We were proud to be able to get the Tasman Mako involved in challenging our community to take part in the #NBS10for10 Challenge and through this

we’re happy that we could engage with the wider community to raise awareness of the vital work of the rescue helicopter.” Paula says the appeal has an immediate affect on saving lives in the region. “Last month, we responded to 43 missions across Te Tauihu,” she says, “It was humbling and heart-warming speaking to the crew involved when hearing the positive outcomes and what it meant to them. “One crew member literally held up a piece of equipment that we had just purchased, and they told me that it directly saved two lives. We are all in this together as a community and we can make a real difference thanks to the support of NBS and our family of sponsors and supporters.”

SO VERY MUCH.

Still no decision on Stafford Drive Tasman District Council is still deciding whether clearing and reopening Stafford Drive is an option after geotechnical advice showed a “high risk” of further slips. Transportation manager for TDC, Jamie McPherson, says the road remains closed due to the massive land subsidence above McKee Domain which occurred during the August 2022 weather event. A total of 182mm of rain was recorded as falling in just five days at a weather station in nearby Mapua, leaving 5270 cubic metres of debris covering the 530m affected-stretch of road. The blockage has seen detours put in place bypassing the landslip via Te Mamaku Drive SH60 and Pomona Road. The road would normally average 1775 traffic movements a day, and forms part of the Ruby Coast Scenic Route. Jamie says safety, costs and future liabilities were important factors that need to be weighed up and a long-term resolution to the situation would be sought. “We have heard from many in the community who would

However, that stretch of road is not designed for the volumes of traffic using it, so

Record entry numbers have led to nine works by budding Tasman artists being sent to Japan for this year’s Mayors for Peace art competition. Mayor Tim King selected the top entries from a record 77 works submitted by students across the region. The Mayors for Peace initiative was set up in 1982 by the then-mayor of Hiroshima and membership has grown to 8,047 cities and districts in 165 countries, including Tasman. The global art competition aims to provide opportunities for young people to think about the importance of peace and to foster their peace-seeking spirit. International competition results will be announced early next year.

Bird of the Year announced

The Pīwauwau rock wren won the Bird of the Year award with 2894 votes. “The pīwauwau win proves New Zealanders love an underbird,” says Forest and Bird chief executive Nicola Toki. “It’s been awesome to see Kiwis get to know some of their lesser-known feathered neighbours and celebrate how awesome they are.” Classified as nationally endangered, they are threatened by introduced predators such as stoats, mice and rats which raid their nests. “A vote for pīwauwau is a vote for climate action. As Aotearoa’s only true alpine bird, these tiny wrens are already feeling the impacts of warmer temperatures, which allow predators like rats and stoats to climb higher and invade their mountaintop homes.”

we will be posting temporary speed restrictions for the safety of road users and residents. “But we’re urging that wherever possible, people should use State Highway 60.” The geotechnical report, prepared for the council by Downer, states that if the road was to remain closed and material not cleared, slips would still occur over time and properties above would gradually lose land. If reopened, “mitigation of future slips and debris falling onto the road needs to be managed through operational management, such as closing the road when it rains or trimming vegetation that’s getting too big,” the report stated. In the best-case scenario, if it’s determined that reopening is feasible, then slip clearing works can commence shortly after that. “We appreciate that the closure has presented challenges for residents and those who relied on the road for their business,” Jamie says. “However, we want to see an end result that provides a safe and reliable section of road that will be resilient to any future weather event.”

If you are unsure whether your supply could be affected, please contact Network Tasman. If you are one of the few customers not covered by back up 63 generation, you will be notiﬁed directly by your electricity retailer.

Around 25 consumers will not be covered by back up generation. If you are one of these consumers you will be notiﬁed directly by your electricity retailer. There are some implications of running backup generation to consumers in these cases, and Network Tasman would like to remind you: • to conserve energy in small ways during the above times to ensure that everyone can remain connected over the entire 11 hours needed for the work to be completed; • that in the event of an outage over this time, it may be that your connection will not be able to be restored until the completion of the project work at 5:30pm; • that to reconnect you back to the National Grid from the backup generation at the end of the Kikiwa substation work, there will be a small interruption to power around 5:30pm.

If you are reliant on electricity for medical support equipment, please contact your medical provider for advice. Turn off all electronic appliances at the wall (microwaves, TVs, DVDs, computers, modems etc). Lift and store enough water from storage tanks before the power goes off. If you are on shift work, ﬁll up your petrol tank the night before – remember pumps and eftpos won’t work.

High UV levels for Tasman JO KENT UV radiation levels in the Top of the South are already higher than this time last year with experts calling on locals to be extra cautious this summer. Meteorologist for NIWA, Richard Turner, says UV measurements are only taken in a few locations around the country. “The nearest location to Nelson where the UV measurements are made is Wellington, which has similar clear sky values to Nelson,” he says. “UV index levels over Nelson on 24 October were around 8.3, but on the same day last year they were around 7.6. And last Wednesday, a UVI level of 9.5 was recorded in the region whereas last year it was just 8.1.” A UV index level of three is enough to cause skin damage. For comparison, UV 8 is rare in the UK, even in the height of summer. UV radiation is produced by the sun, and exposure can cause sunburn, premature aging and increase the risk of skin cancer. Richard says the high UV levels

were probably due to a slight depletion of the ozone layer over the past few months, possibly worsened by the Tongan volcanic eruption. “Our atmosphere shields us from a lot of the sun’s radiation because of the thin ozone layer in our stratosphere, which absorbs most of the UV.” Research suggested the Tongan volcano injected so much water into the stratosphere, it may have created a temporary loss of ozone. Luckily, the effect would be reversible, Richard says, as the water would be naturally removed from the stratosphere in a few years. The ozone layer naturally breaks down and restores, but it has become thinner over time, especially over New Zealand. It is particularly prominent over Antarctica, where a large hole forms in the spring with the effects felt in Kiwi summertime. New Zealand has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world and people are reminded to cover up and apply sunscreen of at least SPF 30 every two hours, even in cloudy conditions.

Fundraising with food JO KENT The Pretty Crafty Christmas Market at Richmond Town Hall is asking for food donations on entry as opposed to cash, which will be given to the Nelson Foodbank for distribution across the region. Organiser Karen Cooper says she had the idea to fundraise with food because sometimes it’s easier for people to grab something from their pantry rather than their purse. “I had the idea to get the Foodbank involved this time as I know so many people will be struggling at Christmas with the ever-increasing food and living costs. “I imagine more people than ever will be in need of some help and that the Foodbank will be stretched, so I wanted to do something to help.” Although a gold coin door donation won’t be turned away,

she’s keen to get visitors to the market bringing food instead. “Times are hard for all of us, so not everyone will have spare money to donate, but most people have a little something in their pantries which they could give without too much drama.” Nelson Foodbank manager Daniel Grade says it was a pleasant surprise to get an offer of help from Karen. “She rang us one day and asked if she could help, so we jumped at the chance.” Daniel says they are always in need of pantry staples, such as canned goods, pasta, rice and cereals. “We provide healthy, nutritious food boxes, so although biscuits and cakes make lovely treats, especially over Christmas, we’d much rather have those staples which help create meals.” Annually, the Nelson Food-

bank provides 2,250 food parcels a year, feeding around 8,000 people across Nelson Tasman. “We actually hand deliver the boxes to those in need, so our volunteers clock up around 25,000kms on the road, too.” Karen hopes that if everyone who visits the market gives a food donation, such as fresh fruit or veggies from their garden, a tin, or packet food item, it will make a real difference. “We are also going to have a Christmas Eve market this year for those last-minute gifts that get forgotten about until it’s almost too late - husbands, I’m looking at you! We’ll even gift wrap it for you too, so you can sneak back and stick it under the tree.” The market is on Sunday 13 November from 10am-2pm, and Daniel will be there with the food truck ready to load up donations.

Women apprentices building the future TRACY ALLAN Neave Osborne is leading the way for women in trades in Nelson, all while building 14,000 followers on her Instagram page detailing her journey as an apprentice and co-owner of Osborne Build. Neave enrolled at Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology (NMIT)’s construction and joinery pre-trade course after a head injury saw her rethink her future work options. “It’s been quite a journey, but I am pretty stoked with where I’ve ended up,” Neave says. She says the pre-trade course gave her invaluable hands-on experience “We worked all day and completed three, full-sized three-bedroom houses for Habitat for Humanity as well as five tiny homes.” She still keeps in touch with the other four women who were on the course. “They are all doers, really active, and love problem-solving. She says, the line of work has other benefits too. “Why not do a job you are interested in where you get paid really well? “You get all the benefits of working 9-5pm Monday to Friday and

get the weekends with your family,” she says. Melissa Malett, apprentice electrician of the Electric Company, started her work journey in Nelson with Fulton Hogan when the work offered more money than the office job she had applied for. “My dad always told me you can always fall back into work with a truck driver’s licence. “I never in a million years would have chosen truck driving, but I really liked it.” After a few years of driving trucks and sealing roads, Melissa says she was working on a subdivision and saw the electricians happy and having a great time. “I was bored, so it was time to try something else’.” Owner of the Electric Company Marc Edgar says there is almost an equal ratio of male to female employees in his company. “I don’t really see the need to determine the outcome of a potential employee by their sex. “I have found that, generally, the females have shown themselves to be the most proactive and persistent in gaining the opportunity to work within the industry,” he says. Skills Consultancy group account manager Georgie Kerby says

women make fantastic tradies. “There is definitely an increase in women in trades thanks to some great government initiatives,” she says. “Things are improving. I think it’s a great opportunity for women. They are a great resource for employers.” Georgie says, with current staff shortages employers are more open to resourcing with women. Mechanical engineering tutor at Te Pūkenga, formerly NMIT, Donna Connell, says there is still a long way to go to equal the male-to-female balance in the workplace but they are making progress. Although female workers have much lower rates of participation in apprenticeships, data collector EducationCounts says last year 13 per cent of men working in construction were apprentices compared to 3.1 per cent of women. Overall, 4.4 per cent of the male workforce were apprentices compared to just 1 per cent of the female workforce. “If there are any women out there who think they would like to get into the construction industry, then go for it, is my advice,” Marc says.

PSA union say Tasman council undermining collective bargaining MAX FRETHEY

Local Democracy Reporter

The Public Service Association union has accused Tasman District Council of undermining collective bargaining efforts and breaching good faith, as the two parties near the end of negotiations. The PSA has been involved in collective bargaining with three councils – Tasman District, Nelson City, and Marlborough District – in the hopes of negotiating a multi-employer collective agreement (MECA) for its members across the Top of the South. However, PSA organiser Ian Hoffmann said that council staff have received an email saying council is rolling out pay increases to all workers ahead of the conclusion of bargaining negotiations. “We believe it’s a breach of good faith.” He says the announcement was an attempt to force their hand in accepting the offer on the table. “It is undermining the process, especially because we’re so close [to an agreement],” he says.

The PSA union picketed Tasman District Council on Thursday, accusing the council of undermining collective bargaining negotiations. Photo: Max Frethey. A PSA union member and council worker who asked to remain anonymous, agreed. “It’s just really disappointing that the council is using these tactics.” Ian added that even non-members were “speaking up and saying ‘this isn’t right’.” The union conducted a lunchtime picket in front of the council building on Thursday to show support for members employed by the TDC. In addition to TDC staff, the picket was attended by

PSA members in other sectors, such as allied health workers, and members from other unions. “We felt we needed to take action,” Ian says. “Council’s approach is outdated and has no place in a modern workplace.” “It was encouraging to see members turn out for our demonstration,” the union member says. “Even better was seeing all the support we have from the community.” Employment New Zealand says employers “must not

pass on to employees not covered by a collective agreement, a term or condition agreed to in that agreement, where this is done with the intention of undermining the agreement and which has that effect.” A spokesperson for Tasman District Council confirmed “a market adjustment is being processed” for staff but couldn’t say if the pay increase was inline with what had been proposed to the PSA due to ongoing bargaining negotiations.

“We have been, and will continue to be, committed to the process,” the spokesperson said. “However, the good faith obligation to our people is not limited to the legislative requirements of union-based agreements.” They added that council signalled to the union on 10 October that the timeframe, which was controlled by the PSA, was placing “an increasing strain” on the council’s good faith relationship with council’s remaining 70 per cent of nonunion staff. But Ian said the council advised them on 10 October that they were considering rolling out the pay increase to all staff. “So, we were especially shocked that Tasman went ahead and made this move, as we were so close to [bringing the proposal] to members.” The council spokesperson was “confident about a positive outcome” with the PSA occurring shortly.

Leon Caslavsky may be just leaving school, but he has big dreams and an eye on the country’s top job. As Waimea College’s dux for 2022, Leon has already met some of his life goals. From the beginning of the year, he knew the criteria for dux, and worked toward it. Going into the prizegiving ceremony last Wednesday, he hoped, but didn’t know. “I didn’t want to count my chickens before they hatched or I would have been gutted if I wasn’t dux,” Leon says. “I was euphoric when I heard my name called.” He says there has been a lot of coffee fuelling the hard work. Principal Scott Haines says Leon has an impeccable academic record, having achieved excellence in every result contributing to the dux award. Along with studying English Advanced, History, Classical Studies, Economics and Drama, Leon was the Board of Trustees student representative. After running for BOT student representative in year 11 and missing out by just seven votes, he was encouraged to run the following year. He has valued his time learning from a wide range of people. “People on the board all have insightful things to say, and different opinions. That’s important,” Leon says. “They value the student rep’s opinion, and I would say to the next rep, don’t be afraid to talk.” He was also part of the team for Showquest, involved in the Sheila Winn Shakespeare Festival, on the debate team that won a regional competition, and was part

of a reading mentor team reading alongside year-nine boys. Not everything has gone to plan for Leon this year. Having been to all the practices for Showquest, and looking forward to the event, he missed the competition because he had Covid-19. Similarly, he was part of the team for the Shakespeare Festival up until the event, but his sister had Covid-19 and Leon also missed out on that event. Out of school he works at the Silky Otter and says he loves his job. Born in Nelson to Czech parents, Leon has grown up bilingual. He says he has always been ambitious, right through time at Henley and then at Waimea Intermediate, but things crystallized for him in years 10 and 11. From then he knew he wanted in time to go into politics. “My dream is to go into politics in the long term, and ideally to be Prime Minister,” Leon says. “I think any politician who says they aren’t interested in being Prime Minister may not be being honest.” Next year he will attend Victoria University studying law and politics. He hopes to remain involved in debating and is looking forward to that being more professional. He also plans to join Young Nats. “That will be particularly good in an election year.” Before that, he plans to continue studying hard to keep up his excellence credits. Leon says he has very supportive parents who have always provided a culture of expecting good results. He also speaks highly of his Waimea College teachers. “I’ve had phenomenal teachers in all subjects, and they have helped me with what I have achieved.”

Moko kauae: symbol of identity Tā moko can represent many things for those who receive them; whānau, leadership, whakapapa and status. The series Moko kauae: Symbol of identity, shares stories of strong wāhine who have received their moko kauae to mark a new phase in their life journey. JENNY NICHOLSON Renee Kokiri wasn’t exposed to Māori culture or language as a child. She knew people her own age who spoke Te Reo, but says she was internally hard toward her culture. That all changed when her father married again. “My late stepmother was a very staunch Māori wahine,” Renee says. “She wanted us to put our kids in Kohanga and to learn reo.” Now, Renee sees her stepmother’s encouragement as a gift. She has embraced Māori culture and language and her moko kauae is a celebration of that. “I wanted to get one because they are absolutely beautiful,” she says. “As well as a statement that I have embraced who I am.” She says it’s a statement that she has overcome a barrier of discrimination and diminishing her own culture. “I had to process it all because I

Once Renee had made the decision to get a moko, she applied to be part of a group of about 20 receiving their moko together.

Local History exploring our

“We filled in a biography of where we are from, who we are, and our contribution to the Māori people.”

Renee was part of a large group that met at a marae over a weekend to receive their moko kauae or mataroa. She says it was a big deal to her to have people around her, and her local family were there to celebrate with her. She didn’t ask for a particular design and had no idea what it would look like, trusting her moko artist Anikaaro Harawira to know what was right. A few weeks after receiving the moko, Renee learned she was a descendant of Te Rangitoperoa, one of the five women to sign the Treaty of Waitangi, and a woman influential and important to her people. When Renee heard she was related to Te Rangitoperoa, she investigated her life. “She was a most fierce, victorious woman of her time.” It was the photo Renee saw of her ancestor that made her feel very special. Her moko is identical to Te Rangitoperoa’s.

The conception of a little town ROBYN PARKES Among the earliest communities that sprung up after the founding of Nelson was the little village of Richmond. For quite some time, however, it was simply a means of getting to the Waimea’s where settlers were enticed by farming and great soil. The land was first surveyed by Barnicoat and Thompson, who were charged with cutting up the land into sections of mainly 50 acre lots. To reach their base at the head of Tasman Bay they found it easier to go by sea than to fight through the swamps, flax and tutu scrub, so they followed a course inshore to a point close to where the present-named Beach Road met the sea. On landing, they made their way to a small hill where the Anglican Church now stands. Early settlers very quickly set about developing the land and getting crops in, but soon found that farming methods of the old home country did

Queen Street, 1880 Tasman Heritage. fully not work in the scrub and flax-covered land of New Zealand and therefore had to adapt to new ways of farming. Other settlers followed and new tracks, later to become roads, were built. Some labourers who had been involved in helping the surveyors remained in the area and the little community which started as a camp began to grow. However, after the survey work lessened the labouring class found it difficult to gain employment and life was hard. As more land

became available on the Waimea Plains the sections were eagerly taken up, but Richmond’s growth slowed. A shattering blow was then dealt by the collapse of the New Zealand Company, who was responsible for the beginning of the Nelson settlement. Men had been bought out to build roads and other needed infrastructure and with the collapse came the end of their income. The years of 1844 and 1845 saw families in dire need. Prices soared, food supplies became low and even

those who were working found that their wages were lowered. During this time many were forced to boil up and eat thistles and to dig up their seed potatoes, eat the potato and replant the skin. Settlers were reduced to using flourbags as material for clothes and the general health of families suffered. Despite the hardship, roads continued to be built and the Nelson to Richmond road was completed. This meant that settlers could reduce their dependence on the

sea route and wheeled traffic began to increase. As a result, Richmond became a convenient place to stop and the switchedon settlers realised this was an opportunity to provide amenities such as refreshment rooms, inns, and businesses of trade. Industry in Richmond increased with blacksmiths, storekeepers, builders, and an undertaker, establishing themselves. One particular, very busy business that made use of the surrounding vegetation was a factory making ropes and fibre matting from the large quantities of flax that grew in the area. Alfred Saunders constructed a flour mill at the end of Mill Road, (now known as Beach Road) and wheat was bought in from farms near and far. As Richmond continued to grow the precursor of the modern library was established, education, recreational pursuits and sport fixtures developed and as time went on the little community left behind its beginnings as a village.

Bouncing balls

New library

Just wondering how many folk live near students who own hoops but must BOUNCE the ball about three times before shooting it into the hoop!? This can go on for hours and it’s great when the rain comes, and it stops. It’s nice for them to exercise outside and sometimes they have earplugs in while playing. Why should I have to wear some to reduce the continual pounding of the ball or have the radio blaring to try to help the continual bouncing. I am entitled to some peace in my own home surely. It’s dreadful in school holidays and after school. This is not a news item but one that will contribute to mental health issues.. help... Do we need more areas for these 15-yearolds to play with their bouncing balls? It’s right against my boundary fence. I wish to remain anonymous thanks. Richmond area.

Went for a drive recently with some friends and ended up in the Motueka Market. Right next door to it was the new library – and boy it was magnificent! What a contrast to Nelson’s library – a literary disaster area! And the cost $5,000,000 not $50,000,000! Anton Hyman

One afternoon I visited my friend. As I approached his door, I noticed his footwear lined up to one side. My friend is very tall. I looked at his shoes, and before entering I took one of my shoes and placed it beside his, marveling at the size difference. It was then that I recalled the old saying, “You can’t walk in another person’s shoes.” To me this meant that we are to walk our own journey without trying to be someone else. Be yourself! Every-one else is already taken. As I stood there, I recalled how the Bible teaches that God has made each of us uniquely with our own strengths and personality. I remembered the well-known Bible story where David fought against Goliath. King Saul gave his armour to David to wear. But it did not fit David,

Very sorry this happened. But cameras are not the answer. How much more surveillance on your life do you want? Best option is for police to do their job, get out in the community and talk to people. There will be plenty of people who know who did this. When they catch the cretins, they need to be dealt with in a way that has actual consequences, including paying for the damage. Another effective thing is community patrol. Maybe the locals could set up a patrol on weekend evenings, in conjunction with the police? Sandra Macfarlane

New service aiming to see less breaks JENNY NICHOLSON

Church space to open for community JENNY NICHOLSON Whakatū Presbyterian’s new build on Champion Rd is well underway. “The last I heard was it was a month ahead of schedule,” minister Jon Parkes says. With framing now up, and the roof expected to be on by the end of this year, they are looking at a completion date of around September 2023. With hopes the building’s various spaces will be used by the community, the choice of a new oven for the kitchen is just one of the multitude of decisions keeping them busy. They have dreams and plans of the kitchen being a safe space for those who would like to learn cooking skills.

“Whether that is through an agency or us, we are unsure,” Jon says. “If there is an agency doing that already, they can use the kitchen.” A community garden is another idea being floated. “It would be good for people to see how to take produce from a garden right through to on the plate.” With two possible areas for a possible garden, Jon hopes the area will be a place to learn to garden, grow vegetables and take them home. A playground out the front of the building is also a possibility. Inside, the auditorium opens to a foyer. Jon says the foyer is not a café, but it has that feel. It’s a space where you could sit and have a coffee. Along with the 160 seated auditorium, there are breakout rooms

that can be used by community groups. One of the rooms opens to the outside. A garage has been converted to a youth hall, a place it will be safe to kick a ball. The space is being used by the building crew during the build. There will be space for prayer and Jon would like outside meditative spaces, too. Sunday services will be held in the new building meaning, in time, their Songer St facility will be sold. For Jon, their building journey is just part of their life putting Jesus at the centre of everything. “It feels like Jesus is our waka and we are jumping inside and going on this journey with him,” Jon says. “It’s safe to be in Christ.” A Christmas Craft Fair will be held at 271 Songer Street on 26 November from 9 am to 1 pm. The money will go toward the kitchen in their new facility.

The Fracture Liaison Service launched in Nelson this year hopes to see a decrease in broken bones in the 50-plus age group. The service, which is led by Barbara Bentley and Kim Fergusson, works with people who have had a fragility fracture, with the ultimate goal being to prevent a second fracture. Fragility fractures are defined as those fractures resulting from low trauma, such as a fall from standing height. ACC says less than half of those who survive a hip fracture walk unaided again and many never regain their former degree of mobility. Barbara says most hip fractures are fragility fractures and fifty per cent of those who break a hip have previously broken another bone. “That first break is a red flag, and we should heed that warning if the first break is from a fragility fracture,” Barbara says. “Things should be put in place to prevent a future fracture. That is where the Fracture Liaison Service comes in.” The most common breaks are of the wrist, hips and pelvis, humerus, and spine/vertebrae. To pick up on the first break can prevent a

subsequent break. “A broken wrist can be a little warning bell.” A lot of what the Fracture Liaison Service does is education around bone health and falls prevention. The service also screens for risk of falls, as many fractures are due to that happening. “We can look into why they fell.” Barbara says there have been meaningful moments talking with people who had never thought about fractures before, and she says they appreciate someone to listen and with the time to give information needed. “It can be a blur when you go through the health system and have someone address the area of fractures and prevention is meaningful,” Barbara says. “Injury prevention is a good place to spend time and resources.” The service runs across the whole Nelson Marlborough area, with a lot of phone and online consultations. Although the service only sees those who have had a fragility fracture, Barbara encourages everyone over 50 to look at their own background and bone health. To test your bone health, go to www.knowyourbones.org.nz

Health Care Assistant apprenticeships provide an appealing path into healthcare Did you know that more than 60 people have been placed into local jobs through our apprenticeship programme in just the last year? Te Whatu Ora Nelson Marlborough staff representing nursing and Allied Health attended a career fair at Motueka High School and found that students were especially excited about the Health Care Assistant (HCA) apprentice pathway into healthcare.

important reasons to get your COVID-19 booster

Your immunity from COVID-19 reduces over time so keeping up-to-date with your boosters provides an extra layer of protection.

2. Boosters help protect you from getting very sick from COVID-19, ending up in hospital, and even death.

Andrew Callander, the Apprenticeship, Schools & Tertiary Recruiter, expressed that the HCA role is a great way to pursue a career in health without the considerable commitment of tertiary study.

HCA apprentices can work toward a health care qualification through on-the-job training and the apprenticeship programme also opens the pathway to higher-level roles in nursing, midwifery, and social work without having to commit to these study paths until ready.

Tasmonics find singing success SARA HOLLYMAN The decision to invite women to join their men’s barbershop group has paid off for the Nelson acapella chorus, Tasmonics. The group took home the silver medal from ‘the choruses with less than 25 singers’ category at this year’s Barbershop Harmony New Zealand convention in Palmerston North at the end of September. Tasmonics member John West says it was great to be able to compete after a lack of members and Covid-19 hampered their ability during the past five years. “We work pretty hard and we performed as well as we could,” he says. “Sometimes you get on stage and you come off disappointed, but we did our best. That’s all you can expect, we didn’t leave anything in the park, so to speak.” Tasmonics competed with entertaining versions of the 1950’s doo-wop classic “Goodnight Sweetheart” followed by the ballad “Once Upon A Time” from the musical “All American”. They scored more points than they had in any previous contests, benefitting from the years of experience

Full house for Speedway fireworks JODY SCOTT Even with major traffic delays impeding movement around Nelson over the weekend, a bumper crowd packed in for the Milestone Top of the South Speedway’s 14n Martin Racing and Coca-Cola Fireworks display last Saturday night. With a kid’s bike race and fundraising for the Child Cancer Foundation (CCF) also on offer, the 14n Martin racing night was an absolute blast that was capped off by the only regular Fireworks display still in the Tasman region. The kid’s race provided an entertaining break from the usual racing and even featured a few high-schoolers who were suitably handicapped around the track to ensure a close finish. The first two across the line were separated by just a wheel length, with the young ones deciding a victory lap was in order, which saw over 70 bikes getting a couple of laps on the clay track before the fireworks got underway at the conclusion of racing. The youth grade contestants did “Racing for the Kids” and then went around the crowd with buckets on behalf of the Child Cancer Foundation, with Callum Russ continuing his good form with another overall win from Luke Higgins and Canterbury’s Kalen Keith. It was a win for Jack Brownlees in the Quarter Midget class, winning the feature from Locky Martin and Baily Bensemann.

The best pairs Production Saloon win went to Geoff Watson and Vaughan Cornelius. The huge crowd was entertained by a few mishaps over the night, with Dylan Clark snapping a rear axle and sending his car vertical for a moment. While the car was an easy fix, he was a bit sore and retired for the night. Taylor Martin had the spill of the evening, with the nineyear-old Quarter Midget driver going upside down. After a quick brush-off, he was quick to return for his final heat and was clearly less fazed than his mum. Jack Rawson was another to have a spill in the same spot in his T.Q., starting the rollover tally for the season. A couple of Street Stocks ended their night early with blown engines, while the rocket ship of Ben Smith blew huge smoke off the exhaust system after the power steering fluid over-pressurised and leaked onto the mufflers. Geoff Watson did an old Shane Van Gisbergen trick of holding the driver’s door shut with his hand after it popped open, but the referees spotted it and sent him infield. The next race meeting is on November 19th with the GTR Stock Car Slam and Expresslube 30-lap streetcar race. Gates open at 5pm, racing starts at 6pm and tickets can be purchased online via the club website or Facebook page.

New track ready for young racers JACK MALCOLM Young motocross racers are gearing up for their biggest local event of the year this weekend. The Nelson MTF Finance Mini MX Champs sees racers, aged between 4 and 11, take to the track for two days of action at the Richmond A&P showgrounds. With racing open to the public, organiser Bryan Heaphy says the event is a great way to see the best up-and-coming racers in the region. “These little 50s (cc bikes) will pick up as fast as a Ferrari up to 50kmh.” He says the event was formed after identifying the lack of events for youth, and he’s still running it 11 years later. “The club has always done stuff for adults and juniors, but there was a big hole and lots of young people. “The kids needed something of their own ... they want their opportunity to do what the big kids do.” With a lot of track building ahead of him to get the course up and running for race day, he says it’s all worth it to see the fun everyone has on the day. He says they’re very lucky to have

on entry, with trophies and medals for all racers, depending on their class. With four races on Saturday and three on Sunday, there’s guaran-

teed to be action throughout as the young racers battle it out. The day is also a great opportunity for prospective parents to get a taste of the sport, Bryan says.

“There’s so much going on in Nelson with motocross.” He expects over 100 entries across the six grades, which are split by age groups.

Waimea Toi Toi United and Stoke/ Nayland in control after day one JACK MALCOLM Athletic College Old Boys have an uphill battle ahead of them next weekend after a tough first day in their game against Waimea Toi Toi United. Stoke-Nayland also hold a commanding lead over Nelson College as they try and chase a defendable total after being bowled out for 141 and Stoke-Nayland making 247/9 before the end of play. Meanwhile, out in Brightwater, the game hangs in the balance, with Wanderers/Motueka Wolves posting 238/10 in their first innings and Wakatu New World Nelson City having made 145/4 before the end of play. Batting first, ACOB were bowled out for 125 runs with opening batsmen Martin Slabbert scoring a handy 65 runs before he was caught and bowled by Paul Elmiger. The WTTU batsmen all made good starts but were unable to form a meaningful partnership against some tight bowling by ACOB, particularly their spinners Mason Lund and Martin Slabbert. Martin took four wickets, which saw WTTU tactically declare ahead by 25 runs with an hour left in the day, at 150/7. WTTU captain Sam Baxendine says the decision was two-fold, to have an attack before the end of the day and to take away a bowling point from ACOB. Bowling points are awarded in the first innings for teams taking one, three, seven and nine wickets. “We wanted to get ahead, knowing they have a few people coming in. “Having three wickets up there, it’s now closer for an outright win.” Sam was instrumental in making the breakthrough in the second innings, clean bowling two batsmen on consecutive deliveries to set up a hattrick chance. He was also impressed with Hamish Chisnall, who took three wickets in the first innings and took another in the second to have ACOB on the ropes. Waimea Toi Toi captain Ollie Jones-Allen says the declaration wasn’t a surprise, with an expectation that they would likely have to bat out the day. He says the goal next week is to put up a total they can bowl at, believing they had shown their strength with the ball in the first innings. “We’ve certainly got to go out and score as many runs as we can next week. “Runs in the first innings have been our Achilles heel.” He says they need to take more ownership of their wicket, with two day cricket having the opportunity to bat for long periods. “That’s the great thing about two-day cricket, there’s a lot of tactics.”

Racing into good grades JACK MALCOLM It might be one of the most fun classes you can take at school. The NMIT Grass Karts is an annual event where students from across the region come together to race the projects they have been working on all year. Having built the karts up from a shell to a racecraft, the payoff was an exciting day of action-packed racing at Tapawera Area School. Jamie McNab, a year 11 student at Tapawera Area School, says he’s been looking forward to the event all year. “All our hard work from working on the karts eventually did pay off in the end. “I have done this event three times, which is a great experience. It teaches you so much, and you get to have some fun.” Racing as #9, Levi Bint, a year 11 student at Tapawera Area School who is also in his third year of the event, says everyone had a blast regardless of where they ended up. The event was his favourite one yet, saying he spent a lot of time and money to get his kart functional. “My hard work paid off and got me second overall out of about 30 karts. He says, apart from some mechanical gremlins, which he had to make hot fixes for, it was “a great day with my mates”. Event organiser Sandy Phyn has run the races for students for its entire 11-year history,

I just took it on because I see the value in it. “They learn so much, from cutting tube, bending tubes, welding, seat brackets, engine mounts and mount steering.” He says the students spend their lunchtimes in the workshop, which doubles as his caretaker’s shed, on their own accord.

s w e N g n i h s Fi Back in the bay RUTH BELL The snapper had returned! Great anticipation ensued as we planned our first outing of the new fishing season. The first hurdle was a total womble at the boat ramp who queued without his crew – really?! The basics of boat ramp etiquette apply to everyone. Three empty launching lanes and a stationery line of boats out to the street is frustrating. My husband wrongly assumed that there would probably be a bit of downtime, so I had decided on pancakes for breakfast instead of boring cereal. No sooner than the first dollop of batter hit the hot pan there was a flurry of action. Three of the team had instant hook ups, although we weren’t anticipating the feisty kahawai

on line #1 to wrap around the anchor then proceed to tangle in line #2 that was reeling in the first snapper. Line #3 was proving difficult and shark-like to bring up. Then another hookup, line #4 had a snapper on a sabiki rig. I moved quickly around the bow to heave on the anchor rope, intent on clearing the kahawai so the snapper #1 could be landed. What about the pancakes? Then #5 the strayline also hooked up, but alas it was a sheerwater in on the action. The tangle was intense to clear with fish in the water, but soon enough we had everything landed and released. The first pancakes were rather well-done but still edible. We heartily ate and then enjoyed the rest of the morning fishing under a little less pressure.

Lucas Bell with his Snapper landed on a sabiki rig.

The dust was flying at Kohatu Park as professional motorcycle racer Avalon Biddle took to four-wheeled racing like a duck to water to finish within the top four in a car she hadn’t driven before the weekend. Photo: James Giblin @ projexphoto.

Crowning a new king of Kohatu

JACK MALCOLM Hayden Mortimer has fond memories of his first car, some that he got to relive at King of Kohatu on the weekend. “My first car was a yellow Toyota KP61 Starlet. I had it for years, it was my boy racer car - first time I lost my licence in it, got thousands of dollars of fines, blew so many diffs and motors up in it.” Hayden says he also learnt to drive in it, almost died in it and made lots of friends and more memories before he sold it. “I went through so many other cars but they were never the same as the yellow starlet. He went on to race mountainbikes and karts and TQs at speedway. After years passed by, Hayden then saw Kohatu Park and thought to himself ‘my family needs a yellow starlet’. So, he purchased a “rusty old shell” off Facebook and, just a week before the race, started rebuilding it to enter King of Kohatu last weekend. “We went full steam and built it in a week. “I was still painting it at 2pm on Friday and it had to be loaded up on the trailer and at the WOW building at 6pm for scrutineering. We just made it.” While he didn’t claim the crown as ‘King’, he did get to race in his freshly-finished starlet. “What a week”. Scott Alexander was the racer who claimed the title as the new King of Kohatu after beating 17-year-old Ollie Ward in a

hard-fought final race. Ollie was one of the most consistent drivers throughout the event, improving through the knockout stages to post the fastest time of the weekend, a 1:31.27 in the semi-final, before having a half spin in the final and falling three-and-ahalf seconds short. Conditions were perfect for racing, with a dry and dusty track allowing drivers to let loose on the closed gravel track. Event organiser Mark Kibble says one of the highlights was watching professional motorcycle racer Avalon Biddle take to four-wheeled racing like a duck to water. The two-time New Zealand and two-time European champion was a celebrity guest at the event, driving a borrowed crosscar from Jeff Ward at Semog racing. The selfless support from the major sponsors, Semog, MTF Finance and Mitre 10, were instrumental in making the event the success it was, says Mark. Despite having never driven the vehicle before getting in it over the weekend, Avalon went on to be one of the favourites to lift the title before she had a half spin in the semi-final and fell two seconds off the pace. Avalon says it wasn’t a hard question to answer when Mark came to her with the offer of racing in the event. She had very little experience racing cars, having done a twoday Rally of Otago last year, but says she wasn’t nervous. “I went in pretty cold, but it

worked out alright.” While she couldn’t touch the pedals when she jumped in the car before the weekend for the first time, she says she was assured they were adjustable and was excited to see how she’d do. Last year’s winner Jason Clark blew a gearbox in his first run of the weekend, he also jumped into a borrowed crosscar and went on to finish in the top eight, which further highlighted Avalon’s achievements, says Mark. “It’s a good litmus test to show just how good Avalon is. To go from two wheels to four, we all knew she was good, but to come in the top four is impressive.” Avalon also competed in the race for the world’s fastest All Blacks car against Wyatt Crockett after his opponent, Piri Weepu, pulled out due to a family emergency. She won that race and was crowned the fastest All Black with Wyatt’s blessing, laughed Mark. Wyatt also impressed with his racing ability, with Mark saying they will have to invite him back now he’s caught the racing bug. “He grabbed the car by the scruff of the neck. . . he loved it.” Wyatt says he loved racing on the track when he went out there previously. “I grew up in a small country town (Tukurua) driving a car around paddocks. “It’s just cool. Motorsport at this level is about having fun and giving it a go.”
