Ern’s back home

JO KENT Police have arrested a suspect after Brightwater’s Lord Rutherford statue was stolen last week.

Local constable Jamie White says he chased the 35-year-old man into the Wai-iti River off Waimea West Road after he jumped in to evade arrest. The suspect was held overnight in custody before appearing in court on Monday.

The bronze statue of New Zealand’s most famous scientist depicted as a child was later recovered from a roof space with the rope used to snap it from the memorial still tied around its neck.

News of the theft left the community outraged and quickly made national headlines.

Jamie says a public tip-off led to the arrest of the suspect and recovery of the statue, and is re-

lieved that it’s still in one piece.

“I could have put money on it being cut up into pieces by now. I would definitely say this is one of the most interesting missing person’s cases I’ve ever dealt with and it’s nice to return him home.”

The statue was stolen in the early hours of Friday, between 1.50am and 2.30am, when the thief turned up on a bike and tied a rope around it, rocking it back

and forth for half an hour until it snapped.

“You have to question the motive of why someone would want to target such a significant memorial,” says Jamie.

“It was disappointing to see such a callous and deliberate act in our community. The memorial to Lord Rutherford is a fantastic way to honour his memory and is frequented by both locals and tour-

ists alike. This senseless act has desecrated not only the memory of one of New Zealand’s greatest icons but also Paul Walshe, the sculptor who created it.”

The statue was part of a memorial to Lord Ernest Rutherford built 30 years ago, costing $400,000.

He was born in Brightwater and his work won him the Nobel

I live out of town so fuel. Vegetables and healthy food are probably the worst, because people need to eat healthily but can’t. It’s not right. It’s crazy.

The price of meat. I’m a meat person. Lamb prices are just crazy. You nearly need to take out a mortgage to buy a lamb roast.

Tomatoes. I previously grew my own but not now. That was a bad choice for this year with their price being so high.

Butter prices too.

Meat and veges and cheese.

Lord Rutherford statue thief arrested FROM PAGE 1 Prize and the nickname ‘the father of nuclear physics’. He is also credited with first splitting the atom.

At the time of his death in 1937, he was regarded as one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century.

“Seeing the statue desecrated and destroyed, I felt sad and angry that someone would treat his memory and legacy in such a way,” Jamie says.

The initial discovery was made by 11-year-old Leah Rose Robinson while she was waiting for her school bus on Friday morning.

“He was just gone, and I was, like, ‘OK, I’m gonna take a photo and send it to my

mum’.”

Mum Sarah then contacted the police who checked security cameras to find out what happened.

“We had CCTV footage from cameras, funded by Tasman District Council and the Brightwater Community Association, of the suspect on a bike arriving, parking by the statue, removing the statue and then biking away.”

The statue will now be handed back to Tasman District Council for repair and put back into its original position.

Horticultural officer for Tasman District Council Richard Hilton says to replace it would have costs tens of thousands of dollars, so to get it back in one piece and so quickly is a

real relief.

“It’s only slightly damaged so we will source a brazier who can secure it back together again in the next couple of weeks.”

Jamie says wading out into freezing waters on Sunday night to apprehend the suspect was “a bit nippy”.

“My wife had my uniform drying in the front of the fire all night but my boots are still wet today from going in after the suspect. I’m just glad there is a happy ending to this story as that’s not always the case.”

The suspect appeared briefly in Nelson District Court via audiovisual link on Monday afternoon, and was remanded in custody to reappear on Tuesday.

Donation bolsters foodbank SARA HOLLYMAN A local lioness club has reached into its own pockets to help people in need.

Lions Club of Nelson Lioness president, Jillian Jary, says the group of ladies will make a donation to the Salvation Army each month for three months with all the food based on what’s needed in winter.

The first donation of three boxes of food was handed over late last month.

“It’s quite a variety, we’ve got breakfast foods, pantry staples, as well as lemons, limes and apples.”

She says the idea was spurred on with the last year with Covid and the foodbanks all saying their needs have been drawn on so much more than they normally would’ve.

“We got talking and then someone brought up the foodbanks and we

Fonterra to shut Brightwater plant next year

Wednesday 10 August 2022

We have made selling your home

costs included in your fee.

RNZ Fonterra is closing its Brightwater Milk Powder Plant in April next year, affecting 30 employees at the site.

The company said the small aging plant processes about 0.25 per cent of the co-operative’s overall milk supply into whole milk powder.

Fonterra chief operating officer Fraser Whineray said milk collection and associated activities would continue at Brightwater as Fonterra moves its milk transfer activities there from Tuamarina.

Whineray said the closure, which means the milk would instead be processed at the co-ops Darfield site, was in line with Fonterra’s long-term strategy.

“We know milk supply is declining over time, flat at best, so we need to make sure we’re getting the most out of every drop of milk and optimising our plants to match both consumer demand and available milk supply.

Thirty employees will be impacted by the closure of the Brightwater plant. Photo: File image.

“Part of our long-term strategy is to direct more milk into our foodservice and consumer business, less into ingredients, and in some cases, to divert product away from the Global Dairy Trade auctions.

He says this, along with forecast capital and maintenance costs, means Fonterra has made the “tough decision” to close the milk powder plant at Brightwater.

Thirty employees would be impacted by the closure of the plant and the priority right now was supporting them, he says.

“It’s no doubt tough news for some of the Brightwater team and we’ll be working with them in the coming months on their future options, including re-deployment opportunities within the co-op,” Whineray said.

Frogs keeping Brightwater up at night JO KENT A chorus of frogs is turning Brightwater into a night time cacophony of croaking after torrential rain brought the audible amphibians out in droves.

The brown tree frog, which inhabit Snowden’s Bush and surrounding woodland, has a very distinctive sound which is described as high pitched and cricket-like. They produce a series of five or six trills with the first sound prolonged. Males call year-round, particularly after periods of rain, which is why so many people have reported hearing them, especially around the Rutherford Park area.

Richard Mojal says he and his wife Evelyn first started hearing the noises a few weeks back after a wet weekend.

“I thought perhaps we had crickets, but that didn’t seem to make sense. The noises would start around dusk and continue until late. We actually find it quite a comforting sound now we are used to it.”

The whistling frogs are about the only ones enjoying all the wet weather. Photo: Supplied.

He says that other people in the neighbourhood had also mentioned the noises and it seems he is right in the middle of their natural habitat.

“We’ve just returned to New Zea-

land after 15 years in the UK and are newbies to Brightwater, but live straight opposite Snowden’s Bush and back on to Rutherford Park where there’s still lots of water. We’re surrounded.”

Department of Conservation principal advisor Herb Christophers says that the unusually wet July, combined with the upcoming breeding season, has meant the males are more vocal

than normal.

“They come out at night and sing and it’s a beautiful sound. It’s all the boys coming out getting ready for the breeding season.

It started about three weeks ago and they’ve been going hammer and tongs, especially with the moist weather we’ve been having.

They love it.”

Department of Conservation ecologist Jen Germano says the torrential rain has enabled the frogs to lay their eggs further afield, possibly in boggy surface water which has been unable to drain away.

“Clutches of eggs or tadpoles will likely to be found in ponds or standing water near where the frogs are calling. Frogs love humid and wet nights and will be most active then. Like all amphibians, they need to stay moist to survive.”

Richard says although he’s heard the frogs most nights, he still hasn’t seen one, but would like to.

“I fully intend to go searching for them now, although they aren’t very big.”

Stolen bench saddens soroptimists JO KENT The theft of a bench on the Two Rivers walkway in Brightwater has left the SI Waimea Soroptimists upset that someone could steal something that was donated in good faith.

Group secretary Annette Smith says the bench was one of two that had been there for several years, along with bike stands that were bought using funds from the charity.

“We were notified a few days ago by a cyclist who uses that route regularly that one of the benches had gone. I’m so angry that people would do that.”

The bench had been screwed into a concrete slab with metal bolts and would have been extremely difficult to remove.

“It was made from solid macrocarpa wood so would have taken at least two people to carry it away. They must have cut the bolts using some kind of power tool, but with portable battery packs these days, I’m sure anything is possible.”

At the same time, a cabbage tree was hacked down and left on the ground to rot.

Annette notified Tasman District Council in the hope they had some information, but they were as stumped as she was.

Communications officer Tim O’Connell says the benches had been there for about five years and provided a great spot to rest for cyclists on the cycle trail as well as other users in the vicinity.

“We are disappointed that this has occurred, and we are in the process of replacing the seat so the public can enjoy this popular amenity once again.”

The charity is behind the recently donated bench at Snowden’s Bush and used the same funding process to purchase the ones at Two Rivers.

“We have asked everyone we know to keep an eye on Trade Me or Facebook Marketplace, but to be honest it’s probably in someone’s backyard.”

The SI Waimea Soroptimist group has been active in Tasman and Nelson since 1974.

Members work together to raise funds to support education projects for women and girls and create opportunities to transform their lives.

Wednesday 10 August 2022 Another award for Owen River Lodge

Owen River Lodge added another award to their collection at the Hospitality New Zealand 2022 Awards for Excellence, winning the Best Environmental/Sustainable Business category. Owner Felix Borenstein said it felt good to have the industry recognise their achievements.

They were also finalists for the Best Destination Venue. Earlier this year they were the first accommodation provider in New Zealand and the first fishing lodge in the world to be recognised as a Certified B Corporation.

Raeward Fresh owners moving to new venture JENNY NICHOLSON It’s an exciting time in the Caldwell household, with a new baby, a new shop, and a shift to a new town, but both Laura and Gareth say they will miss their Raeward Fresh family.

After four years as owner-operators of Raeward Fresh in Richmond, they have bought Kaiapoi New World and are in the process of moving.

“This is a great new challenge and exciting opportunity for us to also become part of a community similar in a size way to Richmond,” Gareth says.

The news they had a new store came just three weeks before Laura gave birth to new baby Charlie and, by the time he is 6 weeks old, they will have completed their shift. In the meantime, there is a lot of work to do with handing over their two businesses while starting the next, with a twoweek overlap where they will be running the three stores.

“It’s not the first time things have worked like this. We found out I was pregnant with George the day before we took over Raeward Fresh,” Laura says. “You just make it work.”

Looking back over the past four years, Laura says the highlight has been how the staff have come on the journey with them. During that time, they integrated the wholesale business Fresh Connection, purchased and rebranded Westmeats, and tripled their staff. With wholesale supply now the biggest part of their business, Covid-19 was a challenge. They had 60 staff from their wholesale operation with little to do. However, they see positives that came from that time. They moved all their staff to the Raeward Fresh Champion Rd store where they all worked together on home deliveries to the community “That brought staff from sites together and drew the team closer,” Laura says.

Gareth has owned businesses from the time he was 18, ex-

cept for two years working in a bank to gain financial expertise. Laura knew she wanted to own her own business but went a different route, gaining qualifications in marketing and management.

In 2011 Gareth moved from England to Nelson. He and Laura met on a blind date and have been together ever since.

Their first taste of working together was after Harper was born. Laura joined Gareth at their previous business, Speights Ale House Nelson - and they worked together from then on. They enjoy working together even though it is 24/7 for them and they talk about it a lot at home.

“We put everything into the business,” Laura says. “It’s such a massive part of who we are and what we do.”

Laura is planning to take time off to settle the children into their new life and spend some time with Charlie.

Before then she will help with the handover here while Gareth starts in Kaiapoi.

Firefighters to strike

Stressed out, over-worked firefighters have escalated their pay dispute and will strike for two one-hour stints over the coming weeks. It’s the first time there’s been a national firefighters strike in New Zealand, where they’ll be refusing to respond when that fire alarm rings. Career firefighters will strike between 11am and 12pm on Friday 19 August and Friday 26 August. Career firefighters have been offered a base salary pay increase of between eight and 19 per cent over the next two years, according to Fire and Emergency deputy national commander Brendan Nally.

Ranger heads to Indonesia

A Motueka Department of Conservation (DOC) ranger will travel to Indonesia to study local communities’ involvement in marine protected areas in a bid to learn more about how they manage compliance within marine reserves. Stew Robertson claimed the 2022 DOC’s Stephen O’Dea Development Award. “I am especially interested in the work of local marine rangers in Raja Ampat and how their compliance effort has significantly contributed to marine life rebounding in protected areas.”

Karen’s move from dentist to author JENNY NICHOLSON After years working as a local dentist, Richmond’s Dr Karen Doouss (Karen Heslop) has put down her dental drills and tools and taken to the keyboard to fulfil a long-time dream to become an author.

Having spent years caring for people and their teeth, Karen is enjoying the thought of now providing quality entertainment, saying it’s something we really need. When she needed to step aside from dentistry for a time, she realised she wanted a career that she could keep working on as she aged.

“You can write well into your 80’s,” she says. “Dentistry is hard on the body being in sustained positions for long periods of time.”

She doesn’t rule out returning to dentistry but is ambitious and hopes her writing will provide a living. Having had years of trying to fit writing around a full-time career she is enjoying being able to just concentrate on writing and editing.

An avid reader of a range of genres, Karen made the business decision to write clean and wholesome romances.

“It fitted with me as a person.

Karen has an idyllic spot to write romances, and her first books are due out soon. Photo: Jenny Nicholson.

They have an inspirational bent.”

Adventures, experiences, and characteristics from her own life pop up in various characters in her books and she says no doubt dentistry will feature in some, as does Piha and various other Auckland locations she enjoyed as a child.

Karen has been married to John for 33 years and says he’s your typical wonderful Kiwi bloke who brings her the odd bunch of flowers, but her books are not based on their life together.

Her first success in writing was as a 14-year-old, getting published in St Cuthbert’s school magazine.

It was a piece written about her dad, an associate professor of surgery who died of a brain tumour.

Originally Karen wanted to follow in her father’s footsteps and work as a surgeon but changed direction to dentistry. However, even as a child her love of reading was already there, with Karen

spending all of her pocket money on books.

“I would walk to school with my nose in a book,” she says. “I always had my nose in a book.”

She is loving the need to read light books and experience new adventures, realising both make her a better writer. Last year she attended a course learning river crossing, bush skills and safety, and hopes to have further tramping adventures. A trip to the glaciers down south may be on the cards, and feature in future books.

There’s a lot of editing, but it’s something Karen knows she can do well and she is working with a good editor.

“It is an emotional rollercoaster this new business. There’s a risk here, where working as a dentist I knew I would be paid,” Karen says. “The old, ‘I’m not good enough’ messages pop up. But I’m resilient and I want to succeed. It feels satisfying when I get the first draft of a book out, but I like it best when it’s all edited.”

Karen has eleven novellas written and in the process of being edited. Writing under the penname Elizabeth Marie, Karen’s first books will be available on Amazon Kindle on 19 August.

Success again for Waimea College percussion ensemble JENNY NICHOLSON For the second year running the Waimea College Percussion Ensemble won their section in the local NZCT Chamber Music contest.

“We didn’t expect to win a second time,” says Year 13 student Isabelle Russell. “But I did think we performed very well.”

She was joined by fellow bongo drummers Jade Briggs, Sunny Neville, and Riho Kawano.

Winning saw them move through to the Regional Finals in Christchurch where they were joined by the Waimea College guitar ensemble.

“Winners always get through to regionals,” Waimea College music teacher Nick Sharpe says.

“All groups playing at an extraordinary level get invited and that is how the guitar group also got to perform at regionals. They were

invited.”

For Year 13 student Alex Bentley it was extra special, as he had first qualified in year 10 but the group were unable to attend because they were not told in time to organise the trip.

“It was awesome to go this year,” he says.

The guitar piece, written by music teacher Brett Smith, also won Best New Zealand Composition.

From 1,130 students, representing 32 schools across New Zealand, just 36 ensembles are chosen to progress to the Regional Finals.

Brett believes this is the first time in the 75-year history of the event that two Nelson groups have been chosen to attend regional events.

“That’s special, let alone two groups from one school,” says Brett.

They didn’t place in Regionals but were thrilled to have the opportunity to play alongside talent from other schools.

Organisers from Teens Against TERFs (trans-exclusionary radical feminist) and Q Youth say they had just hours to prepare a protest on Friday opposing the running of a Child & Adolescent Therapists Association (CATA) conference, which they say promotes “blatant transphobia”. An earlier petition asking for the conference to be moved from its original venue garnered almost 7000 signatures, with the conference moving to an undisclosed location and livestreaming online.

Local lad looking for jamming buddies JO KENT

Levi Baker taught himself how to play bass guitar and now wants to find others to play with. Photo: Supplied.

Self-taught bassist Levi Baker is fed up of playing solo and is looking for other young people to jam with or even start up a band.

The 14-year-old is home schooled, lives in Wakefield and would love to turn his mum’s garage into a studio to play in.

“I’ve been playing bass guitar for about a year and a half and taught myself using an online app,” he says.

Although his brothers and sisters also play instruments, they aren’t interested in playing as a group.

“I like all kinds of music but just want to hang out with other young musicians so we can jam together and play. It’s better than just playing on your own.”

He also plays the drums, is currently learning the violin and is open to jamming with any type of instrument.

“It doesn’t really matter what instrument they play, just pop along to my garage and we can make music.”

He listens to a range of music including Imagine Dragons, Eminem and Royal Blood but says he plays whatever he feels like playing.

His mum Rachel says it was her idea for Levi to branch out and find other people to jam with.

“He’s so passionate about his music that jamming with other people will just enhance his experience and hopefully get him some new buddies, too.

I’m all for it.”

Appleby Fire Station opens doors to public JENNY NICHOLSON Appleby Fire Station is opening its doors for the community to check out the brand-new building this weekend.

Volunteer deputy controller Bella Clark says the community watched the building going up and has always been supportive.

While Sunday is predominantly a day for the community to see the new facility, enjoy a barbeque and have some fun together, a bonus would be recruiting a few young members for their team.

“We have quite a high average age here,” Bella says.

“Quite a few of us are in our 60s.

It would be good to have young blood. We do need to be fit, but not have the same fitness level as

urban crews.”

She says that because they don’t wear breathing apparatus they don’t go into homes.

Instead, with a house fire they assess to see if an external attack is appropriate, find and supply water, and work beside a crew from Richmond or Māpua who do use breathing apparatus.

Bella and fellow firefighter Dorine Helms have both volunteered for many years.

Dorine started out thinking she could be secretary but at the first meeting didn’t have a clue what people were talking about.

She was invited to train with the crew and, before long, found herself in overalls and boots on callouts.

Trade and Tourism

Last week the Nelson Regional Development Agency (NRDA), alongside the Chamber of Commerce, local Iwi and our Mayors, welcomed Minister Jo Palmer from the Tasmanian Government to Nelson. Minister Palmer visited Nelson as part of their Trade Mission to build relationships, collaboration and increase awareness with key partners. They brought a contingency of delegates including Business Leaders from the Food and Beverage, Science and Technology and Tourism sectors. During their visit a new shipping route between Nelson and Tasmania was announced that will help address supply chain issues for our local exporters. I enjoyed meeting Minister Palmer and her team at an event last Wednesday and hosting them for breakfast the following day alongside our Mayors.

This week I’m hosting Tourism, Small Business, Forestry and Economic Development Minister Stuart Nash in Nelson. He is here to speak at the Tourism Export Council Conference, and will meet with Nelson small business owners during his visit.

Coming up on Thursday 18 August, I’m holding a pizza and politics event for young people, alongside my Youth MP Will Irvine. I invite young people from around the region to join me at 6pm at the Pūtangitangi Greenmeadows Centre.

some families of the volunteers callouts are a frightening thing.

It wasn’t until her daughter grew up that she told Bella she had

been scared every time Bella left to a callout.

“You always have to remember it is not just about you. You need to be mindful your family could be worried,” she says.

“You never know how long a fire might last. It could be four, six, 12 hours.”

Both Dorine and Bella are thrilled with their new premises.

“It has all the bells and whistles – carpet, heat pumps, a shower and a kitchen,” Dorine says.

“We used to have to get dressed in the freezing cold and in winter our gear got damp. It served its purpose, but this station is absolutely fabulous.”

A lack of people is having a big impact on the region’s fishing industry, as well as adding pressure to those that can head out on the boats.

The combination of low unemployment, Covid-19, other winter sickness has seen fishing boats head out to sea without the full number of workers on board.

Ken Jobe, a skipper on a Sanford fishing vessel, says he would usually have 42 people on his boat, his last sailing had 33 and the one before that, just 31.

That makes it harder to catch the required tonnage of fish and means qualified staff are left to do some of the work that junior staff would usually do, he says.

At Sealord they’ve had fishermen turn up to the docks ready to go but have then tested positive for Covid-19, meaning they’ve had to stay behind, leaving their crew short or bosses trying to find people at the last minute.

Others are being asked to do back-toback six-week sailings to help fill boats, which sees them home with their families for just a few days in between trips.

Sealord CEO, Doug Paulin, says the lack of fishermen is having a significant

impact on the number of fish they’re able to catch and process.

He says it’s not just on the boats but also onshore positions that they’re struggling to fill with the Sealord factory down 180 staff.

Ken says he’s been working on fishing boats for 20 years and he’s seen a significant change in the culture of new people coming in. “When I started it was hard to get onto a board, you kind of had to know someone to get a spot but it’s a real struggle at the moment.”

“It’s the worst I’ve ever seen it, definitely.

Usually you have the odd dry patch but we’ll always get people that come in and give it a go for a few trips.”

He says the money for fishing is good, as is the time off when you’re home.

“The lifestyle is what got me into it. You go to sea, you do your time, you come home and you can do what you want, go to a café for breakfast, go shopping, renovate your house. At sea, the camaraderie is really good, you make really strong life-long friends. As well as seeing whales and dolphins and other sea life. “It’s a great career for motivated people.”

Grant’s wheely deserving win JO KENT The owner of the region’s most beat-up car, Grant Wilkins, finally got to see the results of a $5000 makeover of his much-loved 1989 Ford Laser GTX last week, after winning a competition.

Grant’s car was picked for restoration as part of the twomonth-long ‘Revive My Ride’ competition, led by Brightwater Motors.

He says the results are way better than he could have ever expected.

“I’m stoked with what the guys have managed to do for me. It’s truly a dream.”

The car was revealed to a round of applause in front of Grant’s friends and family and the trade experts behind the renovation.

“Grant really deserved this, definitely,” says family friend Lesa Te Maari. “He’s good to everyone, always willing to give them a hand.”

Grant’s partner Emma Gribble said that the competition had really shown how much backing there was for him out in his community.

“It was a good opportunity for us to reconnect with a lot of people who we’d lost touch with.

“We were surprised by how excited they were.”

The Laser received a full mechanical overhaul and new tyres before being stripped back, getting ‘shopping trolley’ dents knocked out of it and being repainted and sealed to look like new.

The interior was then taken apart for deep cleaning, in-

cluding the seats.

Engine grime and wheel arches were steam cleaned, headlights were defogged and faded vinyl was restored.

The pièce de resistance came in the form of window tints, artfully applied to protect the car into the future, nodding subtly to its boy-racer pedigree.

“We found a roll of old tinting film in the car when we cleared everything out,” says Sky Automotive’s Vita Escobedo.

“We use more specialised equipment, but we took that as a sign that Grant was probably up for it so, after a quick check in with him, we got our expert tinter on the task.”

Work on the Laser took a full team effort across the board, and Brightwater Motors’ Dave Gilberd enjoyed a brief moment of glory transporting the car for the final reveal.

“I got a few envious looks, even though I was driving it like a grandad.”

The car is a rare 1800 turbo 4x4 version of the classic brand and has immense sentimental value to Grant. He says the win has given the car a new lease of life it so badly needed.

“It’s the first car I ever bought when I was in my teens,” says Grant, who’s owned the Ford for almost 21 years.

“It’s sort of like one of my kids really.”

He says he has recently changed his will to request that the car never be sold.

“She’s a bit of a collector’s item. She feels like a Matchbox toy compared to my usual,” he says. “I think I’ll take her the long way home!”

Within a short time produce started coming from, yes, you guessed it, China, and a team went to China to find out about how they produced their produce and found it being grown in human waste ie: sewage.

Well, not only is this ludicrous as I believe the area is about at its peak now for population based on our infrastructure not coping now. People are coming to our region because of what we have and what we have is beauty at nature’s best with picturesque open plains framed by the hills and Tasman Bay.

Frozen Jr sells tickets before rehearsals start KATE RUSSELL Rehearsals are yet to commence but Nelson Youth Theatre has already sold 80 tickets to their upcoming October performance of Frozen Jr. They also had the biggest ever turnout to an audition in 23 years.

“The interest is huge,” says Richard Carruthers from the theatre company.

“Overall, we had 170 kids sign up to audition for Frozen Jr or The Jungle Book [their other October production], and it was a mammoth task choosing who would play all the roles.

“There’s always a bit of juggling around that goes on in the first couple of weeks after auditions but it looks like we will be working with a cast of around 120 for

Frozen Jr and 50 for The Jungle Book.”

Richard says the tickets they have sold are general public sales, not family.

“This is something that has never happened before. Normally, our first sales start to dribble in about five weeks into rehearsal. Some of my production team are laying bets that Frozen Jr will have sold out a month before, or two weeks before, opening night.”

Frozen Jr will run at the Theatre Royal from 5 - 8 October.

“It is a sensational show that will sweep the audience away to Arandelle and into the magical conflict between sisters Anna and Elsa, as they try to find a way to survive Elsa’s ice-cold powers.”

Tickets are on sale now at www. theatreroyalnelson.co.nz

Art show comes to Greenmeadows KATE RUSSELL Putangitangi Greenmeadows Centre will be transformed into an art gallery this weekend for Art Group Nelson’s annual winter exhibition.

Around 40 members will be selling their original work, including artists from the Tasman region.

Long-time member Gary Gibbens and new member Francesca Marmi are two artists who will be exhibiting.

Gary has been part of the group for nearly 50 years.

“I am probably the oldest member of the group, I joined back in the late 1970s,” he says.

Gary’s traditional landscape paintings, inspired by the

mountains and valleys of New Zealand, are widely known.

“I have paintings hanging in Britain, America, and Holland.”

Francesca joined the group around one year ago. The painter and photographer says she has enjoyed connecting with other local artists.

Most of her work is inspired by New Zealand nature, including native birds.

“I really enjoy sharing my art with other people and there is always something to learn from the other members - everyone is different.”

Art Group Nelson president Karen Loten says the group had its beginnings in 1971 in Nelson, starting with a small

number of independent artists.

“We now have over 100 members and meet monthly,” she says.

“More than 40 per cent of our members are from the Tasman area.”

The winter exhibition runs on both Saturday and Sunday this weekend (13 and 14 August) from 10am to 4pm.

On show will be original artwork of a wide variety including colourful pottery, work in oils, watercolour, and mixed medium.

You can also check out work from Art Group Nelson members at the pop-up art shop opposite Fresh Choice in Richmond Mall.

Healing power of horses used for retreat JENNY NICHOLSON Dawn Marron knows the struggles that women can face and she also knows the healing power of horses.

Having recovered from an eating disorder herself, she has spent 20 years counselling other women and girls facing issues with food and body image. Now, with Joanne Ragg, she has opened a retreat in Wakapuaka that will use time with horses to promote healing in their clients. It’s a longtime dream of Dawn’s to have a place of safety and rest for women and girls who have faced trauma and eating disorders.

She says eating disorders never go away.

“In trauma that voice says, ‘I’m not safe’. It’s invasive and constantly saying you are not safe in the world.”

Dawn says a safe environment without risk is needed and that’s where the retreat comes in. She and Joanne hope to create a space where that can happen.

After shifting to Nelson from the North Island, Dawn had no

access to horses. She did have a goat, chickens, cats, and dogs.

A client visiting her home and spending time with the pets said, “when I’m with the animals the voices inside shut up”.

That gave Dawn the impetus to find horses for the girl to spend time with. Contacting Joanne, she found they only lived five minutes apart and have now been working together for about three years.

“I noticed the house next door to where we do equine therapy and said to Jo wouldn’t it be amazing to buy it and develop it into a retreat.”

Joanne agreed and three or four weeks later the house became available.

“It was part of an estate, and the family are not ready to put it on the market yet but say it’s fantastic that it will be used to help people.

They offered it to us to rent for six months and then to possibly buy it after that.”

Everything came together quickly, with Dawn taking possession of the keys last week. As yet there is no money in their charitable

Dawn is clear the retreat is not a treatment centre.

“I’m a counsellor and recovery coach, not a doctor,” she says.

Local History exploring our

“Women have to be at a certain level of wellness to come or have a family member to support them.”

She will offer counselling and equine therapy to those at the retreat.

The stay can be as short as a weekend, or for up to two weeks.

The lack of help available in New Zealand for women and girls with eating disorders horrifies Dawn.

“For a long time in New Zealand people with eating disorders have been told they will never recover and will have to manage their illness for life,” Dawn says. “That is not true. You can totally recover.”

New Zealand has only 16 beds for people with eating disorders.

When people are very sick, they may be admitted to hospital, but when they have reached their goal weight they are discharged.

“They are not better. They have reached a certain weight, but their thinking and behaviour haven’t changed so the cycle will repeat.”

She says there are many ways to approach healing, and the medical profession has limited tools unless they choose to pursue training in other areas.

“I have tried to talk about bringing people out to work with horses, but they won’t discuss it,” she says.

While you can get a prescription for equine therapy in the United States, it isn’t recognised here.

Building Appleby’s overhead bridge ROBYN PARKES With the railway line at Appleby crossing the main road it was considered to be a dangerous spot. It was therefore decided to build an overhead bridge with work starting mid-1938.

The commencement of work on the bridge over the railway line was the subject of many comments among motorists and general public with some being for the bridge while others believing it was a waste of time and money but also its location was questioned.

The location was found to be necessary on account of the fact that on the north of the road were two entrances, one to the railway yard and one to a residence. If the bridge was erected on the present line at that time, the filling flanking the approaches would block the access to those two gates, hence it was necessary to select the site a little to the South as the photo shows.

The resulting sweep leading to the bridge had to be adjusted but

Commencement of the bridge build. Photo: Supplied. also was to be slight, while on the east, or Richmond side, the road would not sweep back to the old line but would continue direct to the main Richmond-Brightwater Road.

The centre of the intersection was made 30 feet to the south of the then present position and the curved leading into the main north and south road were made

much wider providing better visibility and safety, and was generally much improved.

The total length of the road was 16 chains with the bridge being 16 feet above the railway line and having a width of 24 feet. Between the fillings was a gap of 90 feet bridged by a ferro-concrete structure of the three spans, the rails passing under the centre

one. At the time of building, it was considered modern. It was built with curved wings running out to the approaches in slotted concrete panels.

It was criticised by a disgruntled motorist making a point that the road to Rabbit Island was not being built as it was not considered a economical proposition due to cost, volume of use and other

matters. He pointed out, in his opinion, the ‘ramp’ over the railway line at Appleby was not an economic proposition. Reasons – the cost of the ‘white elephant’ would be in the vicinity of £7000.

The writer pointed out that he had been driving for 20 years and had only been stuck at the Appleby crossing twice. He continued that it was a scandalous waste of public money and instead should have been used for a new traffic bridge at Appleby.

The bridge also became an issue that the National Party commented on in September of 1938 with a spokesperson saying that the cost had ballooned to be between £8000 and £10000 and adding that it was an appalling waste of money which was adding to the burden for ratepayers. Many felt that by the time the bridge was completed the railway would be closed by the then government, which would add to the genius of “squandermania”.

Opposition to the bridge did not hinder its construction and it was finally being used in early 1939.

NELSON MARLBOROUGH | NELSON (03) 546 1800 | MARLBOROUGH (03) 520 9999

Chief Medical Officer Nick Baker:

Masks Matter as Hospitalisations Rise It is widely acknowledged that the health care system is facing several challenges this winter. In addition to a spike in COVID-19 cases and hospitalisations, we are experiencing our flu season along with a general upswing in respiratory viruses. The associated staff absences are putting health workers and the whole health system under extreme pressure.

People over 70: underrepresented in case numbers, overrepresented in hospitals

Throughout the Omicron outbreak in New Zealand, the majority of cases have been in those under 60, but more recently we are seeing a shift: cases are increasing in the over70 population. What’s more, though this age group is still a minority of cases, they are disproportionately represented in hospitalisation figures.

Between significant staff sickness in the younger population and significant hospitalisation in the older population, it is no surprise that we are seeing an increasing workload across the whole system.

Nelson Marlborough experienced the highest COVID case peak in March, followed by a drop and then another peak in July as winter began in earnest.

Though Nelson Marlborough’s current peak of case numbers appears to be dropping, Nelson and Wairau Hospitals’ hospitalisation numbers are rising as the burden of COVID-19 shifts to older age groups. A steady (or even a slightly declining) number of cases in the community has a great impact on our aged population.

“Everyone is absolutely fed up with COVID, but this is not the time to relax. Our basic prevention remains critical: get vaccinated, wear a mask in many indoor settings, and isolate when sick to slow the spread of the virus over the remaining winter months. These are key steps to making life hard for this new strain.”

We have no space for complacency across our communities

At this stage there has been a delay in the arrival of RSV across the country.

I like to think that our background level of mask-wearing, hand-washing, and keeping your distance if unwell is making life hard for RSV, and our flu peak has begun to fade away faster than expected. A very high level of prevention will be required to protect our vulnerable people as the highly contagious BA.5 becomes the dominant strain in New Zealand.

Omicron BA.5: Reinfections will become routine

Quite quickly Omicron BA.5 has become the most common strain within New Zealand. It has competed successfully because it spreads really well.

Unfortunately, BA.5 doesn’t care that you

just had COVID from a different strain.

The immunity an earlier strain of COVID imparted does not protect against the current strain going around. This is because BA.5 has changes to the spike protein which can dodge our immune system, and it is better at sticking to cells and spreading.

A recommitment to prevention in the face of complacency is key

The BA.5 variant is cause for concern but not alarm. There is no increase in the severity of illness and the vaccine continues to protect against severe infections. However, as this strain is highly contagious it will lead to more workplace absences and continuing high hospitalisation rates for those over 70, it is a reason to recommit to basic precautions in the community.

Everyone is absolutely fed up with

COVID, but this is not the time to relax.

Our basic prevention remains critical: get vaccinated, wear a mask in many indoor settings, and isolate when sick to slow the spread of the virus over the remaining winter months. These are key steps to making life hard for this new strain.

Mask wearing in particular has seen a lot of complacency recently but it is important to remember that wearing masks can reduce new cases of the virus by as much as 53%. Reaching even a portion of that level of reduction would have a huge impact on rates of infection, staff sickness, and hospitalisation rates for those over 70.

Free RATs and masks are available you don’t need to be unwell to access them

RATs and masks are widely available.

There is no criteria, you don’t need to be unwell or have symptoms. Anyone who needs RATs or masks can collect a free pack for you and your whānau from a community collection site. Search for one near you on Healthpoint.co.nz. Or, you live in a rural area, call 0800 222 478 and press 3 to discuss delivery to your postal address.

Do I need a second booster?

A second booster is recommended for people at increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19. If you are eligible, you should get it at least 6 months after a first booster. The following people can receive a second booster as a priority: • • • •

people aged 65 and over Māori and Pacific peoples aged 50 and over residents of aged care and disability care facilities severely immunocompromised people who received a 3-dose primary course and a fourth dose as a first booster (this would be a fifth dose for these people) • people aged 16 and over who live with disability with significant or complex health needs or multiple comorbidities • people aged 16 and over with a medical condition that increases the risk of severe COVID-19 illness.

A second booster is also available for:

• all people aged 50 and over • healthcare, aged care and disability workers aged 30 and over.

A second booster is not yet needed by younger people who are generally healthy and do not have underlying health conditions. This includes people who are currently healthy and pregnant.

To get your booster talk to your pharmacist, GP or head to your local vaccination centre. For details visit: www.healthpoint.co.nz

50 years of music for Miles and Margarita KATE RUSSELL

Quinn Wooley’s favourite thing about their playgroup is the swing. Her mother Roslyn has just returned to the group after giving birth to Gianna 14 weeks ago. Photo: Jenny Nicholson.

Play group providing fun and connection

JENNY NICHOLSON A playgroup that started this year in Brightwater is a place of free play for children and connection for mums.

Coordinator Samantha Krukerink says, because it is largely unstructured it makes it easy for mums to come whenever they are ready, rather than battling to be there on time.

Roslyn Wooley shifted to the region in March and joined the playgroup for a short time before having a baby. She has returned with her children Quinn, 3 years, and Gianna, 14 weeks.

“Sam has been lovely with helping me, as I was new to the area,” she says.

When Samantha had her children, her colleagues were older and not at the same stage in life as her.

She found

it isolating and is glad she can now facilitate something to help mothers in the same situation.

“Some of these children were born right on Lockdown and their mum’s whole care plan had to change. There wasn’t the same support for them,” Samantha says.

“We are hoping the play group will create connections again.”

The play group is held behind Brightwater Community Anglican Church at 68 Waimea West Rd and runs from 10am to 11.30am on Fridays. All mothers and carers are welcome.

When you ask Miles and Margarita Jackson the secret to their enduring marriage, they will tell you one thing. Music.

“Music has been the glue in our marriage,” says Margarita.

The duo celebrated 50 years of playing music together on Sunday with a concert at the Nelson Centre for Musical Arts.

Since meeting all those years ago at Te Henga on Auckland’s west coast, the husband-and-wife duo of classical guitar and violin have created a unique repertoire of musical styles drawing on folk, gypsy, Latin, jazz, and classical genres.

They pioneered the House Concert in New Zealand, performed on television and radio, and made many recordings.

They have given concerts in Spain, Italy, England, France, Singapore, New Caledonia, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Australia, and New Zealand and have performed in concert halls, prisons, embassies, universities, fashion parades, schools, jungles, mansions, on the beach, and the street.

Margarita says their musical bond was instant when they first jammed together.

“We knew Sounds of Silence (Simon and Garfunkel) so played that and the connection was huge,” she

says.

“When you play music with someone, you’re talking to them, it’s an abstract language. We’ve grown a lot through our music.”

They were married in Auckland in 1974 in the garden of Miles’ parents. They moved to Nelson in 1981, where they found a job playing at Chez Eelco on Sunday nights.

“We have also been involved with the NCMA since 1981,” Margarita says.

“We’ve both been teaching there for over 40 years, so a lot of students have passed through our lives.

“We’re incredibly lucky to have it here in Nelson.”

Their daughter Fleur is continuing the family tradition as a gifted violinist and their last few tours have included her, as a trio.

She says Sunday’s concert was “incredibly special”.

“I think about half the audience was in tears.

“There was a standing ovation and some lovely presentations and words from friends and people in the community.”

Meanwhile, Miles says they have no plans on stopping and hopes they can still be performing well into their 80s.

“I’m already working on our 75th concert,” he says.

Watersorter Ltd Local owner/operators of Watersorter Ltd, Mike and Jo, understand the effects extreme weather conditions and natural disasters can have on valuable water supply. After settling down in the region after the Christchurch earthquakes, Mike and Jo experienced first-hand the need for a Plan B during stressful times with no water or power supplies for weeks.

After completing a new hillside build in Nelson, they lost many freshly-planted trees set for ground stability during one of the region’s harshest summers. “It gives me a ‘feel-good’ factor helping households install an alternate water supply, as people rely so much on water for day-to-day living, “says Mike. “Not only is there an alternate water supply for the garden but it’s also a great back-up supply for emergency household use.

We hear too often of mains water contamination, drought and supply issues. I believe, for a modest outlay having backup water supply is good for the individual household but also for the environment.

We see a need for alternate water supply with so many unknowns in the foreseeable future and so many

natural catastrophes… including potential issue with water quality.”

Based in Nelson, Watersorter Ltd offers domestic rainwater tank supply and installation solutions, servicing the Nelson and Tasman regions at a great competitive rate.

“Water is a necessity. The day you turn the tap, then nothing comes out, will be the day you’re glad you had a Rainwater Tank installed.”

Providing obligation-free quotes, Mike says doing an initial walkthrough with potential clients is the best way to ensure an easy cost-effective Rainwater Tank installation. “A walk around is best as we have experience on where and how the tank will be best sited. Installation can be quite complex so this decision can be quite daunting for many.” A Leaf Catcher and First Flush Diverter can improve water quality at reasonable costing and can be installed as an affordable optional extra.”

Baseballer selected to play in USA Quinn Heiford is hitting his dream to be a pro-baseball player out of the park.

The 13-year-old Waimea College student recently returned home from the Australian Down Under Winter Classic baseball tournament on the Sunshine Coast where he was representing the Auckland Tuatara against state teams from around Australia.

The Tuatara select players from across the country and Nelson had four representatives there.

Quinn was selected in the 13u team while James Matthews and Alex Taylor were selected in the 15u team. Marty Grant was the coach of the 13u team.

The Tuatara won all three grades it completed in; 17u, 15u and Quinn’s 13u team.

Quinn, a short-stop who can also catch and pitch, says he was “pretty happy” with how he played and loved the experience.

The highlight was a hit over the fence, even though umpires didn’t call it a home run. “I still got to second base and I felt really happy with myself,” he says.

Three days after the tournament

Quinn Heiford, 13, was selected to join an Australian baseball team at a tournament in the US this October. Photo: Andrew Board. finished, Quinn got a call to say he’d been selected for tournament team and was on his way to Florida in the United States to represent the best young players in Australasia at the Perfect Game WWBA 14u World Classic.

“I didn’t believe it to start with, I thought ‘oh, that’s not true. But

about five minutes later it kicked in and I got really happy.”

He will now travel to the states in October as one of just two New Zealanders in the Australian Wave 14u team.

The tournament will feature teams from around the United States and a few international

teams, including the Wave. Quinn says he’s excited for the challenge.

“I’m pretty confident. I think our team will be pretty good, as long as we trust each other.”

Along with the two Australian coaches, the 14u Wave will pick up an American coach once they reach Florida, giving the players

another opportunity to improve.

Quinn first got into baseball four years ago when he saw a flyer around town asking for kids who may be interested in playing baseball. As a keen cricketer and rugby player, Quinn asked his mum if he could give it a go.

Since then he’s attended nationals with the local Nelson Heat team, often playing up a grade.

He’s played at nationals in the 16u Nelson Heat team for three years but the first year he turned up organisers wouldn’t let him play because he was too small.

He says baseball is now his “main sport” and he’s inspired to follow in the footsteps of his local idol Cooper Grant and earn a scholarship to a US university.

“If I could get a scholarship to a US College and then work towards a professional career, that would be my ultimate goal,” he says.

Quinn’s mum, Carol, says they owe a lot to the efforts of the Nelson Heat Baseball club and its coach Marty Grant.

The cost for Quinn to attend the tournament is around $6500.

Football match raises $17k for charity ANDREW BOARD

$14,500 for special Olympic footballers and Phil raised most of the money by asking local businesses for sponsorship, he said this year was a different story.

“I approached the same businesses that I did last year and people are doing it tough, I got a lot of ‘nos’ or a lot of ‘it won’t be the same as last year’. And it really hit me how bad things are and how much businesses are struggling. Golden Bay gives a lot and many of them will never say no, and I didn’t want to abuse that so I thought I’d go to Christchurch.”

There, Phil secured $10,000 from TerraCat and the rest

A charity football game played in Takaka between teams called the Shield Maidens and the Bogans has raised $17,000 for local charities.

The game is the brainchild of Phil Smith, president of the Golden Bay Football Club, and the money raised is being split between Big Brothers Big Sisters ($5000), Special Olympics ($7000) and the I Am Hope ($5000) charity.

In an emotional post-match speech, Phil said he was thrilled to be able to help the community through football.

Club football

FC Nelson Karenni have come from behind to draw with Nelson Suburbs FC Seals in a 3-3 affair in the final round of local premier football. With no playoffs, the Blenheim Rangers walk away as champions of the Nelson Pine men’s premiership, with 12 wins, a draw and a loss. In other results from a windy final weekend, Rangers finished strongly to beat Sheehan Financial FC Nelson 1st XI 3-0, and Fresh Choice Richmond 1st couldn’t come back from an early concession in a 1-0 loss to ITM Motueka 1st XI.

Southern Premier FootAfter a four-year hiatus, local rugby ball League League

league made its triumphant return with the Richmond Rabbits beating the Motueka Tigers to be the first owners of the Sam Hedges Cup on Friday night. In front of a large crowd, the two teams duelled it out like familiar rivals in a back-andforth affair that ended 26-18. The success of the event has seen talks of turning the match into a three-game series, with updates to be posted on the Tasman Rugby League Facebook page.

Bowls

Results of Richmond Bowling Club’s team triples event held on Sun-

Nelson Suburbs had just enough in the gas tank to beat Ferrymead Bays FC 3-2 after a slow second half performance on Sunday.

The Suburbs team dominated the first half of the game, finding the back of the net three times to take a two-goal lead into the break, but fell off through the later stages. The second half saw a change in focus from both teams, with Ferrymead clear in their intentions to walk away with a win while Suburbs looked content with their two-goal lead, which was soon reduced to one-goal to provide spectators with an anxious final 20 minutes.

St Paul’s shows support for cricketing teacher JACK MALCOLM Students from around the country have long sent letters of support to athletes representing their countries in sporting competitions. But for students at St. Paul’s Catholic School, the support meant something different because they actually know White Fern Claudia Green as the teacher of their Year 7 and 8 class.

Claudia says she feels very grateful for all the support she’s received from the entire school community.

“I feel so grateful to have the constant support of St. Paul’s Catholic School’s Junior Stars from the year 0-1 class wrote letters of support school and that’s made even more special when and arranged them in a heart shape to send to Claudia Green. Photo: Jack Malcolm.

I receive letters from the students or hear about them following the games and our results.”

She says the team is excited to be making history as the first New Zealand womens team to play T20 cricket at the Commonwealth Games and hope to make the country proud.

Claudia says she received a late call-up to the team as a travelling reserve after Jess Kerr was ruled out with injury less than two weeks before they travelled to the other side of the world.

“St. Paul’s have always been very adaptable and supportive of my cricket, which I’m very thankful for. It was reassuring how

excited and willing they were to make it work when I had received the call-up.”

As a travelling reserve for the White Ferns, Claudia did not take the field on the way to the team winning a bronze medal. In February 2021, during England’s tour of New Zealand, she took a five-wicket haul for the New Zealand XI Women side in a warmup match before earning her maiden call-up to the New Zealand women’s cricket team for their tour of England in August 2021 She says the Commonwealth Games has been a completely different experience to her first tour of the country.

Young orienteerers gear up for internationals JACK MALCOLM Eddie Swain says he’s excited to be finally on his way to an international competition after years of Covid-19 delays.

The orienteerer will travel to Australia to race in the Southern Cross Challenge after missing out on back-to-back years of competition due to pandemic cancellations.

He is one of five local athletes named in the 40-strong squad to represent New Zealand, with Tide Fa’avae in the senior girls, Lani Murray (subject to fitness) in the junior girls and Zefa Fa’avae and Riley Croxford (subject to fitness), along with Eddie,

in the senior boys.

The New Zealand contingent sends two teams, Harua and Karahiwi, to compete in the event where they will race against the other Australian states.

The two teams were created as equally-matched squads following New Zealand’s dominance of the competition in previous years. They now regularly finish first and second.

At 15-years-old, Eddie is young for his year group at Waimea College and will be a part of the senior team, racing against other senior students from across Australia and New Zealand.

Living out in the Aniseed Valley, he says his preferred event is the long distance races because training is easy in the remote location.

“The sprint is all around buildings in town, and the long and middle distances are all in the forest.

“Usually I go up lots of mountains where I live and this term I joined the running club.”

Having won the Intermediate Boys grade at the New Zealand Secondary Schools Orienteering Champs near Waiuku, he believes he has a good chance to achieve results.

“I’ll do everything, the sprints, long, middle distanc-

es and relays and try to do as well as I can, but the long is probably my best bet.”

He says a good navigator will always out-perform a good runner, but at a certain level everyone has the skills to work out the best routes through the course.

“It’s really strategic, you might take a less hard route if you’re getting tired.

“I’m quite fast at running and won’t shy away from a hill route choice.”

Eddie says he plays a lot of other sports, but he has had to prioritise his commitments this year.

“I do lots of other sports, running, volleyball and cricket.”

Humble, yet honoured to be named a Good Sort JACK MALCOLM John Macduff says he didn’t think he was worthy of being presented with Sport Tasman’s Top South Media Good Sort Award.

As a dedicated volunteer at the Nelson Yacht Club, John has spent decades helping run and expand the club’s offerings.

He did believe a large part of his recognition was for the work he does with Sailability Nelson Trust as its founder and current chairperson, but did not think he deserved the credit.

“I said to the man who put in the application for me that it’s all the volunteers who help out who should get it, I’m just the glue that holds it all together.

“There’s all those other people, and without our volunteers, it wouldn’t happen.”

Sailability was the first of its kind in the South Island, offering safe sailing courses to members of the intellectually and physically disabled community.

John says the programme has exploded in popularity since it started eight years ago, operating through the summer months.

“We have five boats, two larger ones for adults and bigger people and three smaller ones, generally taking 17-to-20 people out in a session.

“We’ve got a waiting list now. . . the parents are just thrilled, we don’t start until October and there’s already people reaching out to sail.”

Sailability has also found a lot of support from the local community, with Port Nelson providing access to their pontoon to allow easier access and a hoist lift to help people in and out of the boats.

Every attendee is paired with an experienced sailor, but John says the goal is to get people sailing as independently as they can.

“Research shows water is very therapeutic, especially for those with autism.”

After Covid-19 restrictions have hampered their sailing days in previous years, John says he’s eager to get back into a more regular flow of things this summer.

John has also taken over the role of Rear Commodore for the club, which makes him in charge of all land-based activities.

As a retired architect, he says he’s been down at the club almost daily as they complete regular upgrades to the building.

“I came on again when the club needed a bit of a refresh. Being a club by the sea, you have to constantly maintain it.

“I’m also the bar manager after the previous one left over Covid. I did a course online and now I do that too.”

Nelson Yacht Club manager Tim Fraser-Harris nominated John for his decades of service to the club and community.

In his application, he says it’s hard to find an event in the past 25 years that John hasn’t had a hand in.

“From the 150th-anniversary celebrations, to regattas like the Laser Nationals and the Flying Dutchman World Championships, and more recently the ETNZ Fan Zone, you’ll find John was at the core of the organising committees.

“He’s also done everything at the club from changing the lightbulbs and door latches, being the bar manager and bbq chef, through to providing good governance and insight on the club committee.

“John’s dedication across numerous different areas of club activity, and his humble nature are why we feel that he deserves recognition from the wider community.”

John Macduff got involved with the Nelson Yacht Club when his son Dougal was interested in trying out the sport almost 30 years ago, and says he is eager to pass the baton to the next generation. Photo: Jack Malcolm.

NEWSLINE UPDATES KE E PING YOU INFORME D ABOUT NEWS AND EVE NTS IN THE TASMAN DISTRICT

10 AUGUST 2022

Subsidised pest traps now available across the District – and cheaper The wait is over! Our new subsidised pest traps are coming to a service centre near you.

We have taken a long-term view of the proposed Three Waters reforms in our submission to the Water Services Entities Bill.

While we recognise the need for reforms, the structure needs further work to provide trust and confidence in the outcomes being sought by the Government.

The current proposal of four large entities from 67 Councils poses its own challenges. As well as the complexity of joining so many systems together under one management system, the fact that the majority of the other Councils in Entity C are in the North Island creates a greater risk of Tasman’s needs being lessened in the shadow of larger populated areas.

Should the reforms proceed, we have submitted, with the support of Nelson City and Marlborough District Councils and iwi of Te Tauihu, to be part of the South Island Entity D with whom we share geography and our rural identity and have a greater chance of sharing the proposed benefits of the structure.

We received a great deal on the construction of the new trap boxes, so we are pleased to announce a drop in pricing for the DOC200 and Trapinator traps for Tasman residents. Available traps and new pricing are as follows: • Victor snap trap in a wooden tunnel for rats: $15 (no change).

• Trapinator traps for possums: $20 ($10 cheaper).

• DOC200 trap in a wooden box for stoats, weasels and rats: $50 ($10 cheaper).

These updated prices only apply to Tasman District Council traps bought in Tasman District or Nelson City. Nelson City Council also sell traps which may be priced differently.

Our subsidised traps can now be purchased by Tasman residents at the following locations: • Nelson DOC Visitors Centre – Millers Acre Carpark • Richmond Service Centre – 189 Queen Street • Motueka Service Centre – 7 Hickmott Place • Tākaka Service Centre – 78 Commercial Street

Read our submission at tasman.govt.nz/three-waters.

To ensure these traps are available for all Tasman residents, there is a limit of one of each trap type per property. These traps will provide their owners with many years of service.

Second Hand Sunday

We would like to thank the great team at the Waimea Menzshed for building the trap boxes for us.

There are a number of other technical suggestions in our submission about expectation setting, reporting and billing.

Sunday 14 August, 9.00 am – 2.00 pm.

Second Hand Sunday is a fun way for Nelson and Tasman residents to declutter and re-home unwanted household goods for free. If you have items you want to give away, simply register online before 10.00 am Friday 12 August to be included on the list of participating addresses. Print off a poster to put on your mailbox and put your items on your driveway at 9.00 am on the day.

For more information or to purchase a trap, get in touch with one of our service centres.

Kids dig the experience of big machines Let’s face it, who hasn’t driven past a construction site, seen the machinery and thought, "I’d love to have a go on one of those diggers?"

That’s exactly the opportunity a group of lucky Richmond preschoolers got a couple of weeks ago.

Tasman Alliance partner Downer NZ is building a new pedestrian crossing on the road near Champion Kids Early Childhood Education Centre on Champion Road in Richmond.

The young people from the centre have been very interested in the activity going on in their street during the construction period, so a special site visit was arranged.

The visit included a kids safety briefing, learning about the job and what the machinery does, and then the children shared stories about their parents operating machinery.

Then it was time for a supervised pretend – machine’s power isolated – operation of the machinery.
