One year wait for kids’ diagnosis erin Bradnock

Local Democracy Reporter

Families seeking an autism spectrum or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder diagnosis for their child can expect a year-long wait to go through Nelson’s pub-

lic health system.

Nelson Marlborough Health’s acting mental health manager Michael Bland says kids waiting for an autism or ADHD diagnosis make up a considerable number of Nelson’s Infant, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service

(ICAMHS) waitlist.

According to February 2022 figures released by the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board last month, there were 249 children on the waitlist for ICAMHS Nelson services.

Of that 249 figure, nine children

have been waiting for services for at least a year and a further 74 have been waiting between seven and 12 months for further treatment.

Michael stresses that ICAMHS and crisis support is available for those acutely unwell or those at

risk to themselves or others.

“Assessments for autism or ADHD can be a 10-hour body of work for a single client, including working with parents, siblings, and usually these are school

Nelson-based chip company Proper Crisps has defied Covid-19 struggles that have hampered others and is expanding to Australia.

General manager Andy Leonard says opening a manufacturing plant across the ditch is something the company has been looking to do for a couple of years. “We’ve been in the Australian market since 2019 and we’ve seen some strong growth over there,” he says. “Part of the strategy was always to look at producing the product over there.” Despite the advances made overseas, Andy says that Nelson will remain the company’s headquarters and its chips sold in New Zealand will continue to be manufactured here. “We expect the Nelson factory to continue to grow because our New Zealand business is still growing nicely.”

This commitment to Nelson can be demonstrated by the recent installation of a new seasoning line installed at the local factory.

age children and we’ll be working with their schools,” he says.

Autism New Zealand spokesperson Larah van der Meer says these wait times are typical of those across the country and are likely to have implications on health outcomes.

“For years Autism NZ has heard from people that obtaining a diagnosis through the public system involves lengthy waitlists and that costs for diagnosis in private practice are prohibitively high,” says Larah.

In research undertaken by the advocacy and education group early last year, wait times were

PARA RUBBER

found to be particularly long for children seeking diagnosis over adults. Nationally the average wait time for an autism diagnosis for a child sits at 10.9 months, while for adults that timeframe drops to 4.8 months.

“The slow process is likely due to demand for autism diagnostic services being considerably higher than the available resources to meet the need,” says Michael.

A private assessment for autism could cost up to $1449.00 while the cost of an ADHD assessment sits around $1152.50 in Nelson.

Michael says the sector is in desperate need of clinical psycholo-

gists to address wait times.

“The workforce has been difficult over the last year,” he says.

Michael told the Nelson Weekly that hope is on the way for those on the waitlist with a co-design strategy approach in the works, looking to the broader portfolio of services for children and young people experiencing mental health issues.

“That waitlist will reduce when we get our workforce capacity managed,” he says.

Record number of job listings Nelson had the higest number of job vacancies ever in the first quarter of 2022.

Trade Me Jobs sales director, Matt Tolich, says Nelson was one of 12 regions to have a recordbreaking number of listings in the first quarter. “Bay of Plenty, Canterbury, Gisborne, Hawke’s Bay, Manawatū/Whanganui, Marlborough, Nelson/Tasman, Northland, Otago, Southland, Taranaki and Waikato all saw the highest number of job vacancies ever in the first quarter of this year.”

Matt says breaking down the national data by sector showed Covid continued to send waves through the market. “Customer service roles saw a whopping 51 per cent increase when compared with the same period in 2021.”

Iconic Nelson parade inflatables for sale Kate Russell Have you ever dreamed of owning your very own 4.6m tall inflatable clown? Well, here is your chance.

Three iconic and long-standing Nelson Santa Parade inflatable floats are looking for new homes.

The clown, along with a 4m tall pirate and lion are being auctioned off on Trade Me for $1000 each with all the proceeds going towards new parade floats.

Murray Leaning from the Nelson Santa Parade Trust says while they are sad to see them go, there are several reasons why they are selling them.

“The original trust had them for a number of years, and while they are great, the trees on Trafalgar St don’t agree with them.

“The parade route is covered in trees, and the trees are getting bigger. With six people needed to manoeuvre them, it is tricky.”

Murray says in 2020 they had to stop at every tree, which slowed the parade down.

“We also can’t afford to get them ripped or punctured.”

Murray says they also have “no

Dog rego fees crack $100 in Nelson KATE RUSSELL It will now cost more than $100 to own a dog in Nelson, with dog registration fees set to rise this year.

From 1 July, Nelson City Council will be increasing dog fees by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) which is 4.9 percent.

This means dog owners will now be paying $102 instead of $97 - almost twice as much as what

Tasman urban dog owners will pay.

Tasman District Council proposes to charge $53 for an urban dog from July and $32 for a rural dog in 2022/23.

While Nelson dog owners are facing an increase, it is normal for fees to be kept in line with CPI to ensure they are not falling behind inflationary increases.

Clare Barton, group manager of environmental management,

says council policy requires 90 per cent of the costs of dog control to be met by dog owners.

“This means that the majority of the cost of dog patrols, dealing with dog-related incidents and providing services like dog poop bags and doing education programmes is met by the dog owners themselves through registration fees.”

She says comparisons with other councils can be misleading, as

they may have different funding policies, ratepayer bases, or geographical factors that may affect the cost of dog control activities.

“For example, Nelson has roughly half as many dogs registered as Tasman, meaning we have fewer dogs to cover the cost of the same level of service.”

Nelson has 6157 registered dogs.

Dog control fees and charges underwent a comprehensive review in 2020 in tandem with the

review of the dog control bylaw and policy.

This included scrapping the good dog owner policy, which offered a discount to owners who met a range of criteria.

Good dog owners paid just $66.20 in 2019.

A 45 per cent increase was set in 2020/21 after public consultation and the council received approximately 80 complaints from dog owners after the rise in fees.

Nelson property market remains strong in comparison to New Zealand drop The QV House Price Index has experienced its largest quarterly drop in more than a decade but the Nelson market remains strong in comparison.

Although its rate of home value growth has slowed significantly, Nelson’s residential property market remains relatively bullish when compared to some of AotearoaNew Zealand’s other main centres.

At 2.4 per cent growth over the first three months of 2022, Nelson’s rate of quarterly home value growth is well above the national average of -0.6 per cent, but well below the city’s 7.2 per cent rate of value growth recorded over the last three months of 2021.

QV Nelson Marlborough manager Craig Russell says increasing numbers of listings had helped stabilise

value levels throughout the region, with purchasers now having a much greater choice than they had previously.

“Open home numbers have been modest compared with the later part of 2021 and we have seen an increase in conditional contracts with a number of contracts now reliant on the purchaser selling their own property. Vendors need to ensure their properties are priced at a realistic level to ensure they’re successful selling,” he says.

He says first-home buyers are struggling to enter the market due to tightening access to credit.

“Owner occupiers are dominating the market at present, but we expect to see investors play a greater role in the coming months as they potentially eye off bargains.”

John Reardon captured a rare glimpse of the Aurora Australis at Nelson Lakes on Thursday 31 March. “I was fortunate that there were three other photographers drawn here by the Aurora alert, which suggested that night would be a good night to try for any possible aurora. It was a perfect night, calm with very little cloud and no moon. As camp host for DOC at Kerr Bay, as soon as they started to pick up the aurora I was able to grab my camera and tripod and was thrilled to get a few photos of it.” He says the aurora lasted for over an hour at around 10pm.

Council raises fees but won’t meet financial target Max Frethey Nelsonians will have to pay more for a raft of council services – from resource consents to dog control – but council still won’t meet its financial targets.

In a meeting of the environment and climate committee last week, cost increases were approved that were in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) of 4.9 per cent.

Affected areas include resource consent processing and monitoring, building unit related fees and charges, food businesses, environmental health licensing, and dog control.

One of the larger proposed increases in cost would have been to the resource consents hourly rate which would have increased by 17 per cent from $162 an hour to $190.

It was reasoned that increasing this hourly rate by 17 per cent would help the council meet its targets according to its Revenue and Financing Policy.

However, mayor Rachel Reese told the meeting that she could not support a fee increase that great.

“I can’t support the 17 per cent rise,” she says. “We’re provid-

Nelson City councillors agreed to increase several fees and charges by 4.9 per cent but still won’t meet their financial target. Photo: File. ing a public service, we’re not in a profit-driven consulting environment.”

The increase would have also helped offset the costs of the council hiring private consultants due to staffing shortages and incentivising their current staff to stay rather than seek employment elsewhere.

A $190 hourly rate for resource consents would also have brought the council in line with other local bodies around the country such as those in Napier and New Plymouth.

Rachel says the council must remain focused on the services it provides.

“I’m somewhat concerned that we’re driven into a pricing spiral ... what we should be doing is making sure we retain our role as providing public services.”

Councillor Tim Skinner shared Rachel’s concerns about the proposed increase.

“It is very disappointing to see the charges going up,” he said.

“It’s a service also that we are providing for our community ... so I find it very hard to support the 17 per cent increase on these charges.”

The council rejected the proposed 17 per cent increase to $190 and opted instead to raise

STA RT YO U R L EG ACY

the resource consents hourly rate by CPI to just $170.

Environment management general manager Clare Barton said increasing the hourly rate from $162 to $170, rather than to $190, won’t impact the council’s delivery of services but will mean its funding targets won’t be met.

“We don’t know what the consequences are likely to be in the medium term,” councillor Matt Lawrey said.

It was speculated in the council’s meeting that costs may have to be recovered by a subsequent increase in rates, though this was not confirmed.

Rachel said constant price hikes failed to address the hurdles being found in local governments’ abilities to deliver efficient public services.

“As a sector, we have to get smarter about how we’re doing this work.”

Matt said the expectations put onto local councils are unjustified, considering the resources they have at their disposal.

“Council does not have enough tools to do the work it needs to do, and we keep saying as a sector that the government needs to do more to help us.”

Police seek more information in hope homicide investigation Police are urging people who have information regarding the death of Simon Allen Bevers at an Edens Rd property last month to come forward. Police have spoken to a number of witnesses and continue to analyse the information collected.

Anyone with information is urged to contact police on 105, quoting file number 220309/6371.

Council to look into compusory cat microchipping and desexing Nelson City Council voted to look into options for making the microchipping and desexing of cats compulsory at the environment and climate committee meeting on Thursday. Staff will report back to the committee by the end of August.

Covid-19 in local rest homes Covid-19 has hit some rest homes in the region. While residents of several rest homes tested positive, most have been asymptomatic.

Wensley House Rest Home Manager Jude Dellebeke says residents who tested positive were unaware they had it as they had no symptoms.

As a precaution, those who tested positive stayed in isolation for ten days rather than the eight days suggested. Ernest Rutherford Retirement Village had two residents in their rest home test positive. They were also asymptomatic, and both have finished their isolation period.

Council-owned company fails to punish union through costs claw-back TRACY NEAL Open Justice Reporter A council-owned contracting firm has failed to claw back a large chunk of legal costs incurred through fighting a union it argued had acted poorly.

Nelson City Council-owned environmental management firm Nelmac and the Reunited Employees Association will instead have to pay their own costs, following a decision by the Employment Relations Authority.

Nelmac sought full costs totalling almost $82,000 over two legal cases hammered out by the ERA last year.

The first was over a breakdown in bargaining, despite an agreement having been reached through facilitation. In the second determination, ERA member Peter van Keulen found the employees association had breached the duty of good faith in bargaining, through its conduct post-facilitation, and the breakdown in bargaining.

A penalty was not awarded but van Keulen fixed the terms of a new collective agreement between the two. Costs were reserved for the parties to try and agree.

Nelmac headquarters in Nelson. Photo: Tracy Neal.

Nelmac was a council-controlled trading organisation owned solely by the Nelson City Council. It sought indemnity costs – or full reimbursement reserved for cases where a party was considered to have acted “frivolously” or improperly during proceedings.

Van Keulen’s decision to have each party pay their own costs was made based on a list of guiding principles, including that costs were not to be used as a “punishment or as an expression

of disapproval” of the unsuccessful party’s conduct.

He had to be satisfied REA’s conduct in progressing its claims and responding to Nelmac’s claims met the standard for awarding indemnity costs set out in case law.

“I have reviewed REA’s conduct of this claim, and overall I conclude that there is no basis to award indemnity costs.”

Van Keulen said REA’s claims were not groundless and were not advanced for an ulterior motive,

and therefore did not amount to misconduct.

“In fact, REA’s conduct of its claim and its response to Nelmac’s claim was, at times, pragmatic in light of various issues impacting on the investigation meeting time that was available.”

Nelmac’s success with the earlier claim did support an application for costs in its favour, but was not a basis to award indemnity costs, the ERA said.

The employees association ar-

gued for costs to lie where they fell, even though van Keulen was not convinced by the union’s argument about a power imbalance, and that Nelmac had the resources and ability to be “combative in its approach to REA”, which was the basis of the problem.

He said there was merit in each party bearing their own costs. He said the interests of justice supported parties accessing the Employment Relations Authority for assistance with bargaining when they are unable to reach agreement.

“To enable this, parties should not be hampered by concerns over cost implications.”

Van Keulen also said there was a public interest in having the authority resolve collective bargaining impasses by fixing the terms of collective agreements.

He said the REA did not act unreasonably in bringing its claims against Nelmac, particularly as it related to seeking help in fixing the terms of the new collective agreement.

Children who have just crossed the border from Ukraine to Poland, line up at a hotdog stand beside the New Zealand flag. Photo: Supplied.

Ukrainian children fed from Nelson donations Jenny nicholson As children fleeing the war in Ukraine arrive at the train station in Poznan, Poland, they are offered hotdogs financed through Nelson’s generosity.

Nelson Hospital oncologist Anna Wojtachs found herself feeling increasingly sad over the news from Ukraine. Hearing friends from her hometown in Poland were meeting trains twice a day, supplying food paid for from their own pockets, she wanted to help. So she started a Givealittle page to help raise funds.

“I am amazed at the generosity of people in Nelson,” Anna says. “In just a few weeks we have raised $11,000 and some of the funds I have sent to Poland have been used to provide hotdogs.”

Anna says although it is only Spring, it’s cold in Poland and

people are grateful for hot food as they arrive.

“Hotdogs are amazing for the children,” Anna says. “The hotdogs are handed out under the New Zealand flag. It feels like we have done something, even from far away.”

She says as Ukrainians get through the border, they are taken care of not by the Polish government but simply by people who want to help.

“There are lots of people wanting to help,” she says. “However, by day 33 they are getting physically and emotionally exhausted.”

Many of the 2 million women, children and elderly fleeing to Poland are escaping cities and villages that have been destroyed. Anna says quite a few of them have already lost loved ones, while others are leaving fathers and husbands to fight, not knowing if they will see

them again.

“Within hours their lives have been changed forever,” she says. “ Anna says those from cities in Ukraine often have contacts in other parts of Europe and simply pass through Poland.

“It’s the people from the villages that are staying in our city,” she says. “They are running away to our city and don’t know what to do.”

Regardless of whether they are just passing through, or if they are staying in P, all are offered food.

Anna says every dollar that is raised through the Givealittle will be sent to her friends and spent on items that are needed for refugees to simply survive.

Natureland is one step closer to creating its new animal enclosures but they need a bit of extra help to make it a reality.

Manager Ruth Seabright says they have chosen the designs to brighten up the two shipping container enclosures, which will be used for hoof stock.

“We received several concepts for painting the containers and selected the one which we felt reflected our conservation focus and the dynamic of Tāhunanui the best.”

They applied to the Creative Communities Scheme and have been suc-

cessful in receiving enough funding to paint one container, however they have a short fall of $2,000 and they are hoping they might find a sponsor to support them.

The Tāhunanui wildlife sanctuary was granted a nearly 2000m2 extension on their lease earlier this year, which has allowed them to create the new enclosures.

The shipping containers were donated and lifted in by Galbraith’s, Royal Wolf, and Lift N Shift.

Mice are nice for ReStore Kate Russell More than 600 homemade cat toys have generated $1200 for Habitat for Humanity Nelson in just 14 months, thanks to a crafty volunteer.

Kaye Millar has been knitting catnip stuffed mice to sell at ReStore Nelson and they are so popular with customers that they sell out pretty much as soon as they arrive at the shop.

“I usually make 15 to 20 a week, sometimes less, sometimes more,” she says.

ReStore Nelson is managed by Habitat Nelson, a local housing not-for-profit, and any proceeds from sales go directly to building more homes for local families in need.

The idea was born when Kaye saw some of the mice at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home in London a couple of years ago.

“I like to make something while watching telly, so I found a pattern and made 30 for the SPCA and 30 for ReStore early last year,” she says.

“The mice just keep selling so I just keep making them. I have had to plant catnip all around my garden.”

Nelson ReStore manager Becky Wyatt says making the mice is not all Kaye does to help the organisation.

“We get piles and piles of fabric bits that aren’t good enough to sell, but she takes them home and makes dolls clothes out of them, and she cleans and polishes all the jewellery.”

She is also busy knitting woollen toddler slippers for the winter.

Becky says Kaye isn’t the only one getting crafty for ReStore.

Another dedicated volunteer takes all the donated fruit home and makes jams twice a week to sell.

“We supply her with the jars and sugar - she has quite the reputation for her jams and marmalades.”

They also have a handful of volunteers who propagate seedlings at home to sell, which generates up to $2000 a month, depending on the season.

Meanwhile, with the increasing demand for the mice, Kaye is running out of catnip and would welcome any donations as well as some spare hands to help her knit more.

International Nelson students become time-travelling lake detectives students start Staff reporter Helping students extract DNA from a banana has been one of the ways that Cawthron scientists have been teaching local tamariki about the biggest ever study of New Zealand lakes.

Lakes 380 is a national research programme co-led by Cawthron and GNS Science which began nearly five years ago. By collecting and analysing water and sediment samples from about 10 per cent of Aotearoa’s 3800 lakes, scientists are documenting the history of our lakes so that we can better protect them in future.

Jonathan Puddick, known as JP, is a Cawthron scientist working on Lakes 380 project.

He says they were inspired to share their work with students because lake restoration is a multi-generational journey.

engaging with the tamariki.

“We’ve been really impressed at how well the students have grasped complex concepts such as environmental-DNA and paleoliminology, and how we can use these techniques to travel back in time, analysising sediment cores and and exploring the history of the lake.”

Participating schools have welcomed the initiative.

Victory Primary School teacher Suzy Garlick said her ākonga benefited from doing “hands-on” science that connects to the real world.

“It was such a fantastic learning experience for our tamariki. They really enjoyed being able to contribute and discuss their prior knowledge on lakes and water whilst also getting to explore exciting new knowledge.”

Supported by Cawthron Institute Trust Board, the workshops are part of Cawthron’s commitment to invest in science-based community initiatives, projects and education activities in Te Tau Ihu.

to return

Local colleges are preparing to welcome back international students in July, however, the landscape will look very different from previous years.

Nayland College assistant principal Gavin Millar says they currently have just one international student and are looking forward to 10 arriving in July. Seven are arriving from Germany, two from Norway and one from Japan. While borders are opening for visitors, they currently remain closed to those wanting to study other than an exemption for 5000 students. The majority of the exemptions are for tertiary education, with just 1000 places allocated to college students.

Pre-Covid, Waimea College had about 100 students enrolled over a 12-month period.

This year they will be limited to just 10 students.

“Schools were invited to apply for places.

Waimea College has 13 international student applications who are seeking a July 2022 start so we made applications for all 13 places,” says principal Scott Haines. “We were successful in being allocated 10 places and we look forward to these students starting with us from term 3.”

Nelson College for Girls principal Cathy Ewing says they have eight students arriving in July and are hoping to be back to over 40 in 2023.

Local teams take top spots in AquaBots competition Max Frethey Local schools have taken out top spots in this year’s NZAquaBot Nationals competition.

Nelson Intermediate School’s ‘Liquid Terminators’ placed second in the intermediate division but first overall in the entire event, beating out 21 other teams who competed.

The team, made up of 13-yearold Isachial Pochon, Moana Williams, 12, and Ivan Shabashev, 12, were surprised by their results too.

“We thought we were doing a horrible job because we mucked up two of the driving competitions,” Moana says.

“I thought there would be no shame in losing this because this is the first time our school has sent an AquaBot team,” Ivan says. “I definitely wasn’t expecting the win.”

Team ‘Narwhal’ from Waimea College came first in the college division.

As winners of the college division, Narwhal, consisting of Thorben Therkleson and Caitlin Pilcher, both 15, and 14-year-old Brooke Robinson, now have the opportunity to travel to the United States to

compete in the International SeaPerch Challenge.

Even unexpected technical glitches didn’t hamper their road to success.

“When we first put [the AquaBot] in the water, the motors weren’t working so we had to forfeit that one,” Caitlin says.

But Brooke thinks the trouble may have been a blessing in disguise. “It kind of worked in a good way,” she says.

“Because then we had stronger motors once we fixed them.”

This year’s NZAquaBot Nationals were held in both Nelson and Rotorua rather than in one location, due to Covid-19 concerns.

Teams must solve complex tasks and complete an obstacle course with their AquaBots while demonstrating good teamwork in order to score points. However, each competition has a surprise event for the teams.

This year, the AquaBots had to lift 4kg dumbbells to the surface and the Liquid Terminators say they came first in this event. “It was better than the other teams,” Isachial says.

“We got [the dumbbell] hooked on but then the net of our AquaBot broke, but we did

manage to get it like two inches off the ground.”

The competition’s theme this year was geysers and geothermal vents. “The kids had to learn something about the geothermal activity in Rotorua,” says Amy Cornelisen, who co-founded the Ministry of Inspiration which runs the NZAquaBot Nationals.

Amy says that one of the main benefits of the competition are the teamwork skills that students build.

“You can’t do this one your own, it’s impossible,” she says.

“Collaborating and communicating with each other, working together as a team… you have to work together.”

Nelson Intermediate STEAM leader Sarah Johns agrees with Amy. “What I love about it, is they’re learning more than just the skills of acquiring knowledge and applying it, but also the socio-emotional development that comes with working as a team,” she says. “The growth in them in that space has been really worthwhile.”

The children have nothing but good things to say about the competition and encourage other kids to get involved as well.

Opinion Housing intensification

This reader is amazed at what has been proposed by NCC at last Thursday’s environment and climate committee.

Option 1: Intensification streamline planning would allow for gross overdevelopment causing loss of sun, sight, and privacy for existing residents. Option 2: streamlined planning process is not much better. They plan to let developers ride roughshod over all existing consultation under the guise of dealing with a so-called housing crisis. Gone will be your rights to have any input into what is built within just one metre of your boundary. So, we will have a whole bunch people living on top of each other with no infrastructure or amenities in three storey townhouses that look like something out of Soviet Russia. Last time I looked we lived in a democracy? NCC is pushing a level of intensification that will lead to city fringe slums with almost 700 new residential units planned for the Wood, Nile St area and the dress circle above the Cathedral, plus a further 525 in the CBD. This will destroy the Nelson we have all come to know and love. Submit by this Thursday to the FDS on Shape Nelson.

Interestingly, the mayor lives just outside the proposed intensification zone.

Community ‘Angel’ Kay, you are a true hero.

Lynette Ewers loses funding Such a loss to our community. I have seen first-hand the amazing work Kay does.

Hopefully someone can pick up the funding for her. Good luck Kay. Lynda Karena

One of Earth’s angels, our beautiful Kay. Maybe it’s time for Kay to have a holiday. Michelle Ashby Such a large loss, Angel in my Street has been such a strong support for many families in the Nelson/Tasman region.

Erin Sheehan Very much needed lady in the community. Has helped many families over the 15 plus years I have known her. We need more of these services, not them removed from the community.

Nicky Wiren What a shame, hopefully new funding will be found.

A sad loss to our community, such a hard worker.

Council grills Waka Kotahi on weeds

The ‘spray and walk away’ approach is no longer working. The community and the country want natives and edibles where possible, not a never-ending cycle of poisoning invasive species that will continue to threaten our green spaces. Come on Waka Kotahi, bring yourselves into the future by starting to preserve the land today.

Rebecca Glen Agree that the roadsides need a tidy up but so does the Railway Reserve which is a council area of responsibility. Pot calling the kettle black.

Ian Christison We were once a city to be

proud of. No more.

Ann Cooper About time someone said something. It’s a hazard and looks awful.

Chantell Smith About time, but I think the council should take a long, hard look at what they are responsible for and get off their backsides and sort it out. Cathedral hill and many other areas are an embarrassment to the city. We are a tourist destination for goodness sake. It’s not like they don’t have the money.

The rates are certainly high enough.

Mark Alderson Who does the Queens Gardens? It’s beautifully maintained there. Alli Jackson They cut the weeds down and along with that, they shredded any rubbish and cans that were amongst the

weeds and left it there.

Disgusting job. Weeds are already growing back. Total disgrace. Take ownership NCC and employ your own contractors as clearly Transport NZ (or whoever they are called now) don’t have a clue what they are doing. Am sure you get enough rates off everyone to cover this.

Wendy Thomas The roadsides are like this in alot of places in the Nelson Tasman district.

Out Tasman way it is not good either.

Some of the “nice” areas, more semi-rural with roundabouts and on side of road are just like the pic.

It’s appalling.

Compared to other places in NZ that I have been to, I would say the Nelson Tasman district is up there with the worst, in regards to the roadside (includes semi and rural areas), grassed and roundabout weeds etc.

Feature

Poppy Day appeal marks 100 years of support ahead of ANZAC Day On April 25, 1915, New Zealand and Australian troops stood side by side as allies set out to capture the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey, during the First World War. Their aim was to secure the Dardanelles, the gateway to the Bosphorus and the Black Sea. These volunteer troops proudly became known as ANZACS – Australian New Zealand Army Corps –and the soldiers that fought during the campaign were known throughout the army camps as courageous and brave comrades, with goodhumoured and honourable souls.

The date marks the anniversary of the Gallipoli landings but we, as a nation, commemorate the contributions of all those who have served in the armed forces, those who were injured in combat, and those who sacrificed their lives for our country.

ANZAC Day ceremonies are held at war memorials both nationwide and overseas and continue to be steeped in tradition and rituals ‘befitting a military funeral’. The first Dawn

Service was held in 1923 and the ‘Last Post’, which was typically played during the war to signal the soldiers that the day’s fighting had come to an end, is now played at memorial services to indicate their duty is fulfilled and they can rest in peace.

An important part of remembering our armed service people is to ensure ongoing care and support for those who are still involved with the organisations today. This month marks 100 years since the Poppy appeal first began and this year will be the Royal New Zealand Returned and Services Associations (RSA) biggest campaign yet.

New Zealand is the only country to wear a poppy on ANZAC Day, most other countries wear a sprig of Rosemary. In France, 1920, ‘The Poppy Lady of France’ Madame Guérin conceived the idea of ‘Inter-Allied Poppy Day’ to remember the fallen. The Flanders Poppy became an international symbol of remembrance. She approached veterans’ groups in other countries, urging them to take up the practice. However,

Richmond Waimea RSA president John Llew D’Rose at Richmond War Memorial Gardens

the shipment of over 375,000 handmade poppies did not arrive in time for the NZ Armistice celebrations and the NZRSA decided to incorporate the significant gesture on ANZAC Day 1922, where it has remained a tradition ever since.

Barry Pont, the key organiser of Nelson’s Poppy Day, is a Vietnam veteran and has served on the Nelson RSA committee for 33 years. He says the volunteer teams will be out in force in the Nelson Tasman region on Friday, April 22, appealing to the public for support of its RSA members and their dependents.

Richmond Waimea RSA president, John Llewellin, says the Richmond, Brightwater and Wakefield communities will see tables set up in the Richmond Mall, along Queen St, outside Kmart and by Raewards for people wishing to make contributions and purchase their poppy in time for ANZAC Day. “Tables will also be set-up in Brightwater and Wakefield communities.

The Nelson RSA supports local veterans and also some who hail from Australia, Canada, Britain and other Allied Forces.

“We would like to continue to support all our Nelson-based veterans and with this in mind we would really appreciate any donations for our local RSA.” “We are proud to reveal that the patron of the Nelson RSA is a veteran of the British WW11 Bomber Command and is still actively supporting us at 98 years of age.”

Nelson RSA member, Brian Ramsay, is heading up the Nelson ANZAC Day services and says due to Covid restrictions it will be more of a low-key affair this year. “We normally rely on the Cadet Forces with the parade side of things, but due to Covid, things will be a little different. It is just the way it is, sadly. However, there is no limit on the public attending the outdoor services, so it would be great to see everyone.”

The secretary-treasurer of the Richmond Waimea RSA, John D’Rose, has helped John Llewellin coordinate the Richmond Waimea ANZAC Day and Poppy Days for the last few years.

“We are lucky enough to have a really good relationship with the council. They have been fantastic every year, where they provide traffic management for the parade and ensure the gardens are looking immaculate for the services.”

John says the local Scouts have been a part of the ANZAC celebrations on many occasions and will be contributing again this year by placing poppies on the graves of RSA veterans in the Richmond Cemetery, both in the RSA section and the general section on April 21, “It is wonderful for them to be a part of it and learn about our history and the stories of these people. It is a good bit of education for them.”

Stoke bounce back as Marist win again Jack MalcolM Stoke beat a resilient Waimea Old Boys side to come away with the team’s first win of the season, 3719.

In the other games of the weekend, Marist toppled Nelson in a bruising 66-0 affair at Trafalgar Park and Kahurangi grinded out a 29-20 win over Wanderers at Cooks Reserve.

Despite a returning James Lash for his 50th game, WOB didn’t have the firepower to overcome their much stronger opponents.

James says getting back on the field had been a long time coming, having been unable to play all of last season with injury.

“It was all a matter of when, but it’s good to get it ticked off.

“It’s good to come in at my old age and see some of these younger boys who will be the next generation, and to be a bit of a mentor.”

His presence brought composure to the Waimea backline, but the team struggled to connect the dots at times with several late

Both teams looked to push the

good to get the win, they made it harder for themselves than they needed to. “We struggled to build phases and some of our option taking was lacking.”

He says the way they were able to band together and respond with positive rugby was exciting for the season ahead. “The boys were backing what they could do.

“We’re confident in our own game and when we got back to that we found success.”

WOB coach Scott McKenzie said they were right in the game, but their execution let them down.

pace and unforced errors started to creep into the game with exhaustion playing a factor.

Stoke number 8 Tevita Koloamatangi had a dominant performance, impressing with strong ball running that consistently got his team on the front foot. Waimea flanker Daniel Hytongue was also impressive, earning several turnovers at critical times to keep his team in the game.

Stoke coach Joe Kirker says that while it was

“It was a bit sloppy, but we certainly had enough opportunities.

“All we needed to do is bank one more try in the first half and we would have been right in it.”

He says they didn’t want to make excuses but had struggled to find continuity with new players coming in. “There’s some great young colt boys stepping up. The effort was there, we just didn’t have the structure.”

Scott also wanted to congratulate James on his fiftieth game, saying he’s an important part of the club’s identity.

Top racers to tackle national champs Jack MalcolM Hundreds of the best racers will descend on the Nelson region this weekend for the New Zealand Orienteering Championships.

The event kicks off with an urban sprint race through Nelson Boys College and Nelson Hospital’s Braemar Campus on Friday afternoon before the middle and long-distance races on Saturday and Sunday at Canaan Downs on Tākaka Hill.

The weekend officially concludes with a relay race at Rabbit Island on Monday, but an additional sprint race will run on Tuesday through Waimea College, Henley School and Waimea Intermediate campuses before a race in Blenheim on Wednesday.

Course organiser and adventure racing legend Nathan Fa’avae expects top athletes to cover up to 18km over tricky and wild terrain in the long-distance event.

He says the race is traditionally considered the premier event, with route choice between the distant waypoints crucial in who will emerge victorious.

“The middle-distance race on Saturday has some really technical navigation.”

Nathan says it’s a big undertaking to be hosting the national event, with a lot of work having gone into preparing the maps racers will use.

“Orienteering takes a long time to set up. We’ve created two brand-new maps for the national

champs. It’s a big job to get those maps ready.

“We have about 12 maps around the region we’ve made over the years. They need to be updated regularly, because if it’s not true to the ground it’s useless.”

Each map has a true-to-scale

representation of the terrain, with additional details such as changes in the elevation levels of the area, demarcation of waterways, changes in vegetation, and existing trail systems.

Nathan says organising an awesome race for his friends and col-

leagues is a fun way to give back to their sport.

“I think it’s exciting to be able to put on this event for our sport in our region. Nelson Tasman is a real easy sell as a place to come.”

Around 500 entrants have already entered races each day.

Netball season kicks off

Nelson’s netball season got underway for college-aged players with the Geraldine Hodgson festival last weekend. Twenty-five teams took to the courts for a day of action at Saxton Stadium, with some exciting skills and potential on display. In the collegiate 1 division, it was Nelson Girls College Senior A who went undefeated after a tense 29-20 final game against Waimea College Senior A. Geraldine is the patroness of Nelson netball, having dedicated more than 50 years to the local game.

New trophies in hockey comp Waimai United premier women and Stoke P2 men have won the newlyimplemented shields in the respective divisions after wins last weekend.

Nelson Hockey Association introduced four new shields this year which will be contested with a Ranfurly Shield type structure.

Suburbs cruise to victory

Nelson Suburbs have made it a perfect two wins from two games after a dominant 3-0 home victory over Mosgiel. The team was unlucky for it not to be more, with a saved Louis Thomas penalty and several strong attacking opportunities not capitalised on. After a slow start, Suburbs stabilized and started directing traffic. A concentrated first-half attack was rewarded in the 39th minute with Scott Wallace finding a deflected ball at his feet right in front of the goal with no defenders in sight. The final goal was from Joshua Moffat in the 90th minute.

EASTER EXTRAVAGANZA WE ARE BACK! And for us, and especially for you, the race fans, it’s better late than never.

With all the Covid restrictions in place over the last few months for outdoor events it’s been a tough old time for the team here at the Milestone Homes Top of the South Speedway.

With little to no crowd able to attend the speedway a lot of the meetings were cancelled, and a handful were raced mainly to give our competitors somewhere to race during these hard times, albeit with no crowd which is the club’s main source of income.

Adults - $20, Children 5 - 15 years - $10, Children under 5 years – Free, Family Pass $40 (2 adults and up 3 kids under 15), Members and Pensioners $15.

Now that the government has relaxed the rules on outdoor events, we get to host the Easter Extravaganza over two days of the long Easter weekend, and you are all welcome! This includes non-vaccinated and vaccinated fans so it’s business as usual for the last meetings of the season.

Gate prices have been kept the same and tickets are available from the kiosk at the Richmond Mall, or you can buy them at the speedway turnstiles on the night. Adults - $20.00, Children 5 - 15 years $10.00, Children under 5

years – Free, Family pass $40.00 (2 adults and up 3 kids under 15), Members and Pensioners $15.00.

Please note the earlier start time of 5.00pm so make sure you get there early as the main gates will open at 4.00pm.

We have some good numbers in most of the classes including the Stockcars, which are seeing a resurgence in numbers of late, Streetstocks, Three-quarter Midgets, Production Saloons, Superstocks and Sidecars, while both our youth classes, Quarter Midgets and Youth Ministocks have good num-

The new swim coach at Richmond Aquatic Centre says he has big aspirations in his new role.

“I want to build Tasman back up to one of the strongest clubs in the country,” says Shaun Foley.

He says he isn’t daunted by the task ahead after rebuilding the swimming programme at Papakura Swimming Club from dire straits to a celebrated club.

“I’ve been there before and I’m looking forward to building Tasman back up.”

Shaun, who still holds the New Zealand SM8 open 400m individual medley record, says he wants to give back to those who gave him so much.

Having been born with an upper arm deformity, he says swimming was where he could go and be himself. It didn’t take long for his dedication to be noticed, breaking three age-grade records at his first nationals and being scouted as a Paralympic hopeful.

“Paralympics New Zealand said ‘we want you on our pathway to the 2000 Olympics’.”

Despite missing out on his Olympic dreams by a fraction of a margin, Shaun represented New Zealand twice under Paralympics New Zealand.

In 1999 he earned two golds, two

silvers and three bronzes at the Australian Junior Wheelchair games, before winning bronze in the 200 individual medley at the World Wheelchair games in Christchurch.

Shaun says he always wanted to be a swim coach and give back to the sport that has given him so much.

As a coach, he says his role is to guide young swimmers in developing their skills alongside their growing bodies.

“I’m a coach who’s there for all my athletes. I coach everyone the same.”

One of the first changes he wants to implement is creating a clear pathway from the learn-to-swim school through to the elite programme.

“The stronger the team, the stronger we are. The goal is not just results, but the structure and attitude of the club.”

The club currently has 44 members, but he says they want to see that number double to at least 90 or 100. Shaun also has plans to get involved with para-swimming in the region, saying he wants to give back to those who gave to him.

“It’s close to me because that’s where I swam.”

One of his proudest achievements was watching a para-swimmer he coached go down the same path he had and earn qualification to the Commonwealth Games.
