Increasing bus fares ‘worry’ parents MAX FRETHEY

Local Democracy Reporter

Parents who are already living week-to-week are coming under additional financial pressure after the removal of a Government subsidy for children on public

transport and the upcoming increase for the eBus service.

Half-price fares for under-25s and free fares for under-13s ended on 1 May. Children aged 5-12 now pay halfprice, and people aged 18-24 now pay full price on Nelson Tasman’s

eBus service. Children aged 1318 saw no change and continue to pay half-price.

However, the Nelson and Tasman councils agreed last week to increase the cost of bus fares paid

by Bee Card by 5 per cent from 1 July.

Kaz Bradley has three children who catch the bus from their home in Stoke to school in Richmond.

She was “gutted” to hear about the extra 5 per cent Bee Card fare increase.

“Normally changes

like that don’t really bother me, but at a time where everything like inflation has just been out the gate… your mortgage rates are going up and everything, people are really struggling,” she says.

Pleasure and pain GORDON PREECE More than 300 people unleashed their inner warrior at Nelson Obstacle Park over the weekend.

The Wairua Warrior is Aotearoa’s largest obstacle course race, and it was the second time the annual event was hosted at the Moutere Highway venue.

Organiser Julia Kelly says the event was “fantastic” with around 200 spectators, and Nelson Tasman making up half of the competitors.

“It’s a lot of work and yes, I haven’t slept for quite a while, but it was worth all the work, all the effort, and all the cost… this is a labour of love,” she says.

Increasing bus fares a ‘worry’ for parents FROM PAGE 1 “It’s just another thing to worry about.”

Her kids’ school trips have already gone from costing $10 a week to $30 with the removal of the subsidy, though often she ends up having to pay extra because the kids sometimes forget to tag-off the bus with their Bee Cards.

Kaz is living week-to-week because of the high cost of living and the increased bus fares aren’t helping.

“Say the kids needed bus money on their card, the first thing that’s going to come out of is your food budget because it’s the only one that’s movable,” she says.

“We put the kids first, so it does mean we have the light lunch, or it’s noodles for dinner or toasted sandwiches, lack of vegetables.”

Nicki Hobden is also now having to pay $10 for her son’s trip from Stoke into Nelson for school.

“With the cost of living and stuff, it’s just an extra cost that we don’t really need,” she said.

Her husband has taken up a second job to help cover her 11-yearold son’s tuition fees, and so she was “not really happy” to learn about the 5 per cent increase to Bee Card fares.

“We’ve cut everything back as much as we can,” she said.

“With rates going up and stuff, I don’t know that the council needs to do that.”

Prior to May, the eBus service had only operated with the Government subsidy in place.

The eBus has seen large patronage growth since its launch in August last year, in recent months often reaching twice the number of passengers when compared

“slight decrease” in patronage with the removal of the subsidy.

“Using the eBus is still a more convenient and cost-effective option for many students than a parent doing the school trip by car or using a Ministry of Education bus,” says Nelson City Council’s acting group manager infrastructure, David Light.

He highlighted that past research from Environment Canterbury suggested that price was not the most important factor that determines if someone uses public transport.

The 5 per cent increase to Bee Card fares comes as the councils Kaz Bradley’s children, Hudsyn (3), Chayne (14), Deakyn (9), and have opted to make small increases over several years to ensure the Jordyn (11) regularly use the eBus.

Hill St layout not the safest design

Wednesday 29 May 2024

Need a trusted professional plumber?

From minor leaks to major overhauls

MAX FRETHEY

We do it all

Local Democracy Reporter

The new layout of Hill St is not the safest design for the road, a council safety audit shows.

The road lost most of its car parking in April to make way for cycle lanes as Tasman District Council seeks to make cycling a more attractive option for residents.

A council-commissioned safe system assessment compared the earlier, unmodified layout of Hill St with several possible designs, including adding cycle lanes but retaining the 50kmh zone and lowering speeds to 30kmh with added traffic calming measures.

Introducing cycleways while keeping 50kmh speeds saw a score of 136, whereas lowering speeds to 30kmh and adding traffic calming scored 43.

Lower scores reflect safer road designs.

The scoring system is not linear, which means the score of 43 is not about three times as dangerous as the score of 136.

But some Hill St residents believe the audit didn’t provide council the justification to remove car parking for the cycleways when a low-speed 30kmh zone was noted as markedly safer.

Carolyn Woolf obtained the audit after requesting it from the council and says she wants the parking reinstated within a 30kmh zone for both cyclist safety and resident convenience.

“Residents of Hill St… have been seriously impacted by the removal of on-street

Neighbour Mark Rumsey is of a similar mind.

“I don’t think that impeding the traffic flow would have created much of a big deal at 30kmh,” he says.

“The lack of parking seems to be a far greater issue and, I think, raises a safety hazard, I really do. People are backing out… onto the main road in a 50kmh area.”

The council’s transportation manager, Jamie McPherson, says councillors weighed up many factors when deciding on the street layouts.

“Safety is one of many aspects on a road network that needs to be balanced when considering improvements, changes, or any decision on our road network,” he says.

“Retaining 50kmh speed limits on most of the busy urban streets, with safe raised crossings where needed, is an im-

portant part of balancing between safety and travel time.”

And not all of Hill St lost its parking – the section between William St and Queen St is being trialled as a 30kmh zone and retained its parking.

The 30kmh sections will be monitored to see if they reduce traffic speeds and increase cyclists’ perceptions of safety.

Council data indicates that 45 per cent of people who currently drive to work or school would rather bike and that safer cycling would encourage them to make the shift.

“Removing on-street parking has a significant safety benefit for cyclists,” Jamie says.

“Constructing safe, separated cycle lanes will contribute to more people, who might still be nervous about riding on the road, choosing cycling as a means of transport.”

Sam receives mother’s gift of a kidney ANNE HARDIE Samantha Allred considers her mother to be her best friend. This week, the woman who gave her life, also gave her a kidney in a bid to give her a normal life away from dialysis.

To her mother, Jane Park, there was no question about donating a kidney to “my baby” and she was one of seven family members who put their hand up to be tested as a suitable donor.

“People say it is so amazing to donate a kidney, but actually it’s not. I don’t know a parent who wouldn’t do it for their child if they could. It’s being able to potentially give her a normal life and we’re born with spares (kidneys), so why wouldn’t you?”

It has been a long road since Samantha (Sam) was initially diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at 17, then finally lupus at 21.

The autoimmune disease causes the body’s immune system to attack its own tissues and organs and for about five per cent of people with lupus, it attacks organs.

Sam has had chemotherapy to try and stop her body’s response, but it does not work for about one per cent of that five per cent.

She happened to be in that one

This week, Sam Allred, left, was donated a kidney from her mother Jane Park. Photo: Anne Hardie. per cent and her immune response led to kidney failure.

Specialists tried Rituximab to try and destroy her immune system so it wouldn’t destroy her kidneys.

Nothing worked though and the end result is she has got to know the dialysis unit really well, visiting it every second day for fourhour sessions.

Because her immune system can attack itself, she was not able to

go on the waiting list for a kidney and she needed to find her own donor if she is to have a chance of living life without dialysis.

Jane was the first to go through a series of tests over several months, and came up as a match for Sam. “We were matching and then I passed the psyche – which my husband was surprised about!”

For Sam, it is hard to find words to describe her gratitude towards

her mum for donating her kidney.

“This is the woman who hasn’t just given me life but is going to save it. I could never repay her for what she is doing for me.

“There’s a bit of receiver’s guilt and I tried to talk her out of it because I don’t want my bad luck to be their burden to bear. But mum being mum, she was going to do it.

“My mum is my best friend without a doubt. As a teenager, we didn’t get on so well, but being sick got us closer because when you’re unwell, your life is put into perspective about what is important. And to me, family is big on my list of what I value in life.

“Mum was the one I’d call when I needed to go to A&E and she was there for all my appointments.

She’s always there.”

Both Sam and Jane know her immune system may attack her mum’s kidney when it is transplanted into her body, but it is a risk worth taking.

Jane says that even if it is not successful, they will know they have done everything they can to make Sam’s life better and that will help going forward..

Throughout everything, Sam has remained positive and refuses to

dwell on her illness.

She has also continued to work full-time at her job as a sales and accounts manager for PBT, often working from home and lately, during dialysis.

Having an understanding employer has not only helped her through her lupus journey, but also enabled her to build a house with her partner, Breydon Gallon.

The achievement of owning their first home has been the silver lining of her battle as she says they would not have achieved it so early if she had lived a normal life and spent her money on other things.

The kidney transplant took place on Monday in Wellington and, speaking with them last week, Jane expects her body to take a while to adjust as her remaining kidney works harder.

She is thankful that her employer, Tasman District Council, has been so supportive over the years and is giving her the time to recover.

Sam on the other hand is expecting to feel the best she has felt in years.

“I’ll be feeling over the moon. I haven’t felt normal since I was 18, so it is going to feel cool.”

Raeward Fresh closes retail store Richmond’s Raeward Fresh retail store sold its final bags of produce on Friday. The Champion Rd store owners Mark and Lou Paton announced the “tough” decision three days prior, that the wholesale operations would be sold to Trents Wholesale, a subsidiary of Foodstuffs South Island, following a review of the entire business and that the retail store would close.

Staff impacted by its closure will be offered redeployment opportunities within the Foodstuffs South Island network.

Foodstuffs South Island general manager retail and property, Tim Donaldson, says Raeward Fresh Wholesale Tasman customers will continue receiving the service they expect, and will get access to the full range and promotional pricing offered by Trents.

“This change of ownership is an exciting opportunity for Trents to build on the success the Raeward Fresh operators have built up in the area and will enable Trents to respond to the significant wholesale opportunities in the growing region,” he says. “We’d like to take this opportunity to thank the Raeward Fresh team and customers for all their support and hard work over the years.”

Tackling social housing needs ANNE HARDIE Finding suitable sites for social housing in the Nelson-Tasman region will continue to be the stumbling block for community housing providers, despite the Government’s plan to get them building more.

Nelson Tasman Housing Trust director, Carrie Mozena, says it needs to find and successfully purchase land for its housing developments and those sites are hard to find in the region.

The Government announced last week that it wanted community housing providers to carry out more of the social housing developments. It followed an independent review of Kāinga Ora that found the Crown entity was underperforming and not financially viable.

“I think it is important and good that the Government is scrutinising the financial performance of Kāinga Ora because a huge, mind-boggling amount of taxpayer money has been going into Kāinga Ora and not as much as anyone expected has been delivered on the ground.

“There’s so many people in the community who need secure, warm, healthy homes and it bothers me that there is so much money that has gone into Kāinga Ora and they haven’t been able to deliver.”

She concedes Kāinga Ora has had to build a pipeline in the past few years that includes ramping up staff numbers, identifying sites, planning and then building the homes, which takes time. It also deals with people who have very complex needs. But she says it has been moving slowly when the need for social housing is increasing.

In the trust’s latest housing need survey, which monitors the housing need beyond the Ministry of Social Development housing register, there are 686 households in Nelson-Tasman needing affordable housing. The figure is calculated by adding up waitlists for Nelson Tasman Housing Trust, Tasman District Council housing, Habitat for Humanity, Abbeyfield, Franklyn Village, campgrounds and refugee families via Red Cross. That

Carrie Mozena figure is in addition to the 471 households on the public housing register.

Carrie says the community housing providers, including Habitat for Humanity and Abbeyfield, already collaborate and cooperate with each other where possible and last year Te Āwhina Marae in Motueka contracted the trust for its tenancy management. She says more cooperation is needed with Kāinga Ora as well.

“I would certainly like to see much more cooperation between community housing providers and Kāinga Ora because up to this point it has felt like we’ve been in competition.”

In the recent past, the trust and Kāinga Ora have competed against each other to buy a couple of large sites in Nelson for potential developments.

Carrie says the trust has been able to average one new site a year for the past few years because it needs sites that are a minimum of 800 square metres - and preferably larger – which are near public transport and services. Those are hard to find, and then it has to compete for those sites and go through the council consent process which all takes time.

So far, the trust has 54 homes tenanted with a further 24 being developed in Nelson, and is working with a vendor in Richmond with the hope of building 12 homes there. She says the trust is keen to make progress in Tasman, but it comes back to finding sites close to public transport and services which rules out many rural communities.

She says Nelson-Tasman is one of the least affordable places to live in the country, mostly because incomes are relatively low.

Network Tasman Engineering Student Scholarship 2024 Network Tasman is pleased to announce that Kilian Cools is the first recipient of the Network Tasman Scholarship. After careful review of all candidates, Kilian was selected for his academic achievements, leadership skills, and commitment.

Artsy retirees’ market fundy GORDON PREECE A bevy of crafts all made by Richmond’s Olive Estate Lifestyle Village residents were on display last weekend to brush up funds for Nelson Tasman Hospice.

The craft market and exhibition organiser, Russell Miller, says it was the third year the

village had held the event, and it was part of its support for the Hands Up for Hospice! campaign which was held over May. “We’ve had 21 vendors showcasing Olive Estate and the talent that the residents have… and the village has done a very good job putting effort into this event,” he says.

“It has gone very well, the vendors have been selling their crafts and some of them have had good returns.”

Russell says he would’ve been satisfied if the event raised $1000 for Nelson Tasman Hospice, and his expectations were exceeded with more than $1900 soon to boost the specialist palliative care unit.

Church seeks interest on prime Richmond land ANNE HARDIE

Kilian grew up in the Moutere area and went to school in Richmond. He is presently in the third year of a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering degree at Canterbury University, and he is aiming to specialise in electricity transmission and distribution systems, which aligns well with the interests of Network Tasman.

Kilian has demonstrated a strong dedication to his studies and has shown promise in making a positive impact in his chosen field. As the recipient of this scholarship, he has received a $10,000 contribution toward his academic fees for this year as well as the offer of work with Network Tasman over the university holidays.

The Richmond Baptist Church on Salisbury Rd is looking at potential options for the 1.25 hectares of land between the church and the state highway.

Chair of its property development team, Mark Morris, says the land is surplus to requirements and the church is simply paying to have the grass cut, so it is time to look at other options for it. That has led to the church seeking expressions of

interest for the development, sale or lease of the prime, flat piece of land. It is part of about three hectares owned by the church and he says any potential sale would require the area to be subdivided before a title could be issued. It is zoned tourist services which he says is an unusual zoning that caters for businesses such as motels and restaurants. However, he says it has been earmarked for intensive development by the council, though that is not yet

in its long-term plan. Subject to consents, the church lists residential, healthcare, educational, storage, office, retail and light commercial as potential options for the land. Between zoning, access and the consent process, he says it is hard to put a value on the land, but that will be determined by the interest the church receives.

“It’s a difficult time in the market, but there definitely is interest. It’s a long-term process, whatever happens.”

The Network Tasman Scholarship Scheme was introduced to support local aspiring students pursuing a career in the electrical engineering field. The annual scholarship is offered to students from the Nelson / Tasman region who are studying toward a diploma or degree in electrical engineering. Applications open in August each year.

Nelson pulls together for a good cause KATE RUSSELL An epic tug-of-war challenge will take place in Nelson’s city centre this Friday as ‘Heave for Hospice’ aims to pull in much-needed funds for Nelson Tasman Hospice.

The event is a friendly competition between teams from local businesses, sports groups and organisations and is the finale for the NBS Hands Up for Hospice appeal month.

As of Monday, $62,914 had been raised from events, fundraisers, high teas, and general donations over the month of May. Donna Ching-Tregidga, head of supporter engagement and income development at Nelson Tasman Hospice, says a range of teams will be participating, including Gibbons Naylor, Scott Construction, Nelson City Council, Tasman District Council, Child Development Services at Te Whatu Ora, Richmond

Nelson’s Cody Scott was the victorious female in both the 3km and 5km Elite categories, as well as taking bronze medal in the 10km Elite

Women. Nelson’s Johanne Delnatte prevailed in the 5km Open. The Glass Gladiators team, comprising of Viridian Glass staff, won the Team 10km category.

“A huge thank you to everyone involved, and our sponsors were amazing,” Julia says.

The event comprised a kids race, a 3km, 5km, and a 10km Elite race, and a 5km

The Open race targeted competitors wishing to test the course’s taxing obstacles before competing in the elite category at future events.

“The kids were amazing, some of them got to be helped by the pros… to have them lift a six-year-old over the walls with their knowledge.

First home grants scrapped

National is making it harder for people to own their own home. They’re scrapping First Home Grants, which give up to $10,000 to Kiwis who just need a hand with the last part of their house deposit.

This helped increase the supply of new housing and encouraged housing companies to build homes in a price range affordable for first home buyers. I’ve spoken to first home buyers in Nelson over the last week who are feeling devastated by the changes – they’ve worked hard to get their deposit together and were relying on the First Home Grant to get them over the line.

In government, Labour chose to spend money on helping Kiwis into home ownership, and built more state homes than any Government since the 1950s. The National Party chose to give a $2.9 billion tax break to landlords, and is now making it that much harder for thousands of Kiwis to own just one.

“That six-year-old may be the future of the sport in ten years,” Julia says.

“Some of the courses had different options, we took ropes away for the elites so they had less help, and the teams are allowed to help each other.

“You could have one person doing monkey bars and two people below them are lifting up their feet.”

“But then the slips happened and part of the house subsided along with it. We had to jack up the concrete slabs, relevel the ground and build a palisade wall. It is quite unusual work and we have been collaborating with the geotech and structural engineering teams to get it done.”

This perfectly showcases the diversity and scale of projects that

Their commitment to the community, evident in every facet of their operation, sets them apart from the competition and has cemented their place in the hearts of locals.

Building a legacy of trust Shane and Ben have a combined experience of over 55 years in the automotive industry. This wealth of knowledge and expertise has been instrumental in shaping The Car Company’s strong reputation.

“We’ve always focused on building honest and trusted connections,” says Shane. “Our success is a direct result of the support we receive from our community, and we believe in giving back to those who have helped us grow.” The Car Company’s ethos of community support is not just talk. Over the years, they have invested heavily in local initiatives and charities, reinforcing their commitment to the region that has supported them. This reciprocal relationship has fostered a sense of loyalty among customers, many of whom have been with The Car Company since its early days.

Embracing the future with BYD In line with their forward-thinking approach, The Car Company have expanded their offerings to include the world’s fastest-growing EV brand, BYD. “We’ve invested big with BYD,” Shane explains. “Their cutting-edge technology and commitment to clean, reliable vehicles aligns perfectly with our vision for the future of automotive transportation.

A commitment to automotive excellence

Every vehicle sold by The Car Company undergoes rigorous testing and inspections, ensuring that only the best vehicles reach their customers.

This attention to detail is a testament to their commitment to quality. “If coming from overseas, each vehicle goes through three inspections before it even gets to New Zealand,” Shane explains. This meticulous process guarantees that every one of their vehicles meets the highest standards of safety and reliability. “We also buy locally and nationwide. Any make or model! We have the buying power to purchase a group of vehicles, for example, if a business needs to on sell their fleet, we can travel to you making the process easier, and can offer same-day purchase and payment. Whether looking to trade

The Car Company’s success is driven by their dedication to the three V’s - Value, Volume and Variety, - and the three R’s - Repeat, Referral, and Recommendation. Their staff, many of whom are long serving, embody these values, providing exceptional customer service and fostering strong relationships with clients. “Great camaraderie between the staff is key to our success,” Ben adds. “We’re locally owned and operated, and our team is like family. This creates a positive environment for both our employees and our customers.”

Looking ahead As The Car Company looks to the future, their commitment to adaptability and innovation remains unwavering. With Ben leading the charge into new markets and technologies, The Car Company is well positioned to continue its legacy of excellence for many years to come.

In a rapidly evolving industry, The Car Company is the epitome of stability, trust, and community spirit. Their enduring success is a testament to their hard work, dedication, and the loyal support of the local community they proudly serve.

Wayne Williams Wow, another full on year.

With a net increase in membership of 347 people, this just keeps growing the attendance, which in turn bumps up turnover, laughter, etc.

We have had a year of big functions, lots of business and sports sections use of the facilities, $2k draws with having to seat people even in the foyer, weekly live entertainment, Melbourne Cup, Nelson Country music fortnightly and their awards weekend in October, Waimea Harriers, Repco Trade show, NZMCA, just to mention a few.

Sports sections had representation in CNZ events around the country, with some very good results.

Pool again ran an Open Sin-

gles played in February, and with a full field of 72 players, it was a well run and high quality event. Squash again ran the Waimea Open, full attendance, and quality play. Congratulations to all for their play, and organisation. Most of the sections have had a busy time this year, with fishing trips away, snooker visits to and from other clubs, cards travelling around the countryside, and a lot more.

Looking at the Financial results for the 2023/24 year, we can be well satisfied with the final result, a Cashflow Surplus of $559,475, on par with last year, but we had already spent some $60k on items of R&M as well as upgrades, such as • Main garden refurbishment • New Glycol unit in the main chiller

• Security panel replacement • Caravan Park ablutions lighting to LED • New Kitchen extractor fans On top of this we had major expenditure on • Carpark redevelopment and re-seal finalisation • Installation of 240 solar panels on the roof • Gaming Machine upgrade Again, the Board and Executive have been very good to work with, and the staff have been kept very busy both administratively and bar wise, and I can only see this continuing. Thank you team.

We have more areas to be looked at in this next financial year, so we need to have the support of all, so that we can move our Club further ahead and ensure that we can provide the facilities required for the long term.

Onwards and Upwards.

Visit to Whitebait Aquaculture On 28th April, in conjunction with Tasman Aquarium Club, members of the Fishing Section of Club Waimea visited the Whitebait Aquaculture facility run by Whitebait New Zealand, at Clover Road, Hope.

Director, Robert Hutton, admitted us to the building with appropriate hygiene measures. For all of us we

were about to experience first-hand an industry we had previously been unaware of. Currently the main item produced is whitebait caviar, obtained from the New Zealand native trout, the Giant Kokopu. Kokopu are bred in the facility in tanks and after four years are ready for egg production, the eggs being sold as

caviar both natural “White Pearl” and Manuka Cold Smoked. We were given the opportunity to sample this delicacy.

Artesian sourced water is used very efficiently with only 4% make-up required after tank cleaning and filter back-washing.

The effluent from these activities is delivered to a digester tank to break-down the waste products, the gas produced being available for process heating.

The Giant Kokopu, being one of New Zealand’s

most endangered whitebait species, now sustainably grown for egg production, also provides opportunities for release of whitebait back into the wild, thus assisting conservation efforts to increase numbers of breeding stock in the wild.

Robert also introduced us to two other fish species being developed for potential future commercial production.

These are the Grass Carp for both meat production and controlling weed in waterways, and the Black Pacu, a very efficient converter of fish-feed to meat for human consumption.

Our group were impressed by the size

and energy of a Black Pacu Robert scooped from a tank, having donned appropriate protective attire to keep dry.

Another activity is the use of hydroponics for vegetable food production using a fish tank as the water source for the plants. A tank containing Black Pacu provides all the needed nutrients for the plants suspended above with their roots in the water.

We were grateful for the opportunity to see this enterprise in operation. Not our usual fish-based activity but well worth the visit.

Discover the thrills of Buller Gorge swing bridge A must-see destination rich with history, The Buller Gorge Swing Bridge Adventure and Heritage Park is perfect for explorers and adventurers alike, offering something for everyone. Relax on the nature walks, spotting beautiful birds along the way, or dive into the rich history and thrilling activities that await. Conveniently located just hours from Nelson and the West Coast, the adventure park offers a blend of excitement and natural beauty. One of the main attractions is the longest swing bridge in the Southern Hemisphere, suspended 19 metres above the mighty Buller River. This 110-metre-long marvel is a must-do for both locals and visitors, offering stunning views and a thrilling experience.

The park has attractions for everyone, whether you can spare five minutes or a few hours. “Try a ride high above the river on our high-speed 160m Comet Line suitable for all those ‘young at

heart’,” says owner Julian. “Ride solo or with a friend – the more weight on the ride the faster it goes!” Gold panning enthusiasts will find the park particularly exciting. The land at the top of White’s Peninsula has been a working claim for over 120 years, and the river is still mined today. With the team providing expert tuition on panning and ‘dirt’ from their favourite secret spot, visitors are bound to find some gold. “Guests are able to pan for as long as they like – and what they find they can keep!”

Land the ‘best salmon in NZ’ at Anatoki

Just 7 km from Takaka township, on the banks of the Anatoki River, lies a thriving family business that has hit on a winning formula that combines fishing, food and fun for all the family.

Now is the perfect time to head over the hill and experience the thrill of catching your own food and savour the delicious taste of freshly-caught salmon. Established in 1999, Anatoki Salmon Fishing & Café on Golden Bay is a much-loved destination for locals and tourists alike.

Managed by husband-and-wife team Dan and Josine van der Eijk, and their close family, Anatoki Salmon Fishing & Café is easily accessible to all, and visitors are assured an adventure to remember!

“For me, winter is one of the best seasons to visit,” says Dan. “I always look forward to it as the days are beautiful and calm!

With the school holidays and Matariki coming up we suggest that people come early, but we always have enough room and rods for everyone to enjoy the day.

People come in who have never fished

before, but this is no problem!” Pricing is determined by the weight of the catch, and the team will clean the fish at no additional charge.

Open seven days a week from 10am to 4pm, the popular cafe will be serving their delicious salmon chowder. “This is very nice and we always have people come back for that! We also have a lovely salmon platter with different smoked salmon and sashimi which is also very popular.

“Come find a magical spot on Lake Anatoki to cast your line and land your lunch. Have your salmon hot smoked in the cafe or take it away fresh. Because it can be smoked straight after catching, the texture of the fillets is very light and airy, and we believe it is the best smoked salmon in New Zealand!”

There is no entry fee and no experience needed at Anatoki Salmon Fishing & Café as the team provide quick guidance along with the free use of fishing gear.

Visitors are guaranteed to catch a fish and can be eating the fruits of their labour within an hour. Contact the team at Anatoki Salmon Fishing & Café on 0800 262 865 or email info@anatokisalmon.co.nz for more information.

Wakefield teenagers get their own hangout Does your vehicle need

ANNE HARDIE

Wakefield teenagers now have a time and place to hang out for games, music and socialise with their peers in the community.

The Wakefield Youth Hangout held its first session in the town hall last Wednesday night with 14 teenagers turning up, and an organiser, Julian Eggers, has a long list of different activities he wants to introduce in the coming weeks.

Last week the teenagers could choose between ping pong, air hockey, foosball, or just hangout in bean bags and maybe play a game of cards. It is all aimed at creating a space for local teenagers and Julian says it gets them away from technology for a night. The community has places like McGazzaland which he says is great, but not all teenagers want to get on bikes and scooters, so the hangout has been created for anyone between the ages of 12 and 18 to get together and have some fun, or simply as the name suggests, hangout.

“Wakefield is lacking teenage youth activities, so I thought it would be good to have a hangout space where teenagers can make

some attention?

We’ll make sure you’re good to go!

Julian Eggers flanked by Jack Eggers, 15, (left) and his brother Lee Eggers, 13, are keen to promote the new Wakefield Youth Hangout at the town hall.

it their own place.

“Because of technology, a lot of kids stay home and lose that social interaction. Do they know people in their own town? It’s a good way to get to know each other.

“Also, mental health can be a big issue for kids at college because of stress and the changes they’re going through and sometimes it’s good to get away from home.”

The hangout has some funding from the Tasman District Council through the Wakefield Community Council, plus it has one local business sponsor so far which both help pay for the use of the hall, food and some of the activities. Jack Eggers, 15, was one of the teenagers at the inaugural hangout and he agrees it is a good way to get youth out of their rooms and away from technology.

“Technology takes you away from reality.

Whereas you might look back on this in your 70s and 80s and think what a great time you had.”

In the coming weeks, Julian plans to include laser tag, creating your own ice-cream sundaes, competitions and movie nights.

Wakefield’s new kindergarten SARA HOLLYMAN As the waitlist for Nelson Tasman Kindergartens climbs, the head of the association hopes that a former Scout building will be brought to life as a new kindergarten for Wakefield. Nelson Tasman Kindergarten Association (NTK) has taken over ownership of the former Scouts Aotearoa Building next to Faulkner Bush Reserve.

The building, off Treeton Place, sits on land that is owned by Tasman District Council, who have agreed to ask for public submissions on issuing a new land lease.

NTK chief executive Craig Vercoe says his hope is that it will be one of the most unique kindergarten sites in the region with the largest open play space of any of their 24 current facilities.

Craig says there are currently 259 children waiting to get into their four kindergartens between Richmond and Brightwater, and early plans for the Wakefield site will accommodate 40 children.

“This is about us identifying where the growth is and accommodating that need.”

Craig says he has been searching for a suitable site in Wakefield or Spring Grove for two years and initially approached Scouts

to form a joint venture, with NTK purchasing the building and allowing Scouts to operate from the site.

Although that option is still on the table, Craig says Scouts don’t have a need for a site in Wakefield at this time.

“Our intent, depending on building reports, is to keep the integrity of the building, acknowledging its long history.”

He says early planning would see the exterior fully re-clad in a more natural look, similar to a log-cabin, with decking around the front and side of the building.

The outdoor playground will be the same, he says, with no plastic play equipment, in-keeping with the “picturesque” surroundings. Extensive work will be undertaken inside the building to bring it up to standard, including economical heat retention and play space.

“Hopefully we can keep all the wooden beams, and we would love to be able to find a way to retain the large fireplace if we can.”

Tasman District councillors last month voted to put the option of whether to lease the land or not out for public submissions, which opened last week.

At the time of the meeting, councillor

Christeen Mackenzie said consulting the public was a good idea “in the interest of being open and transparent with the community”.

“Whilst the report says it is widely known in the community… I’m not sure that is the case,” she said of the potential kindergarten. However, councillor Mike Kininmonth said consulting was a case of being “hamstrung by bureaucracy.”

“This opens up the possibility of the kindergarten losing access to this Scout hall.

The reality is, the building has been sold by Scouts to NTK. “We are going to the public about a ground lease for a kindergarten, we are hamstrung by bureaucracy.”

However, it was decided that it was a “bigger risk” by not consulting the community.

Submissions are now open on the lease proposal.

The full lease plan can be viewed at shapetasman.govt.nz with submissions closing on Friday, July 14.

call-in for five-eighth N LashYOU’minute VE GONE JACK MALCOLM

Old Boys the weekend before, James says he also hadn’t practised his goal kicking in over two years.

But that didn’t stop him from slotting the game-winning conversion through the uprights after the full-time hooter had sounded to secure a one-point win for his new team.

Not only that, but Suburbs brought the game back from being down 0-27 with 20 minutes to go to win 28-27.

“It’s awesome and what footy is about,” James says.

“I haven’t played since 2022, where I played one game for Buller and a few games for Waimea [OB] in the B grade.”

It had all started as a joke be-

ALL ORANGE!

Joining a new team isn’t easy at the best of times.

But the cards were stacked against James Lash over the weekend as he travelled north to stand in as starting first five-eighth for Suburbs RFC in Auckland’s premier league.

Added to the mix was that the game was a grudge match against Waitemata dubbed the Battle of the West, James also met his new teammates just hours before kickoff and had to tape his wrists to write down the team’s plays so he could remember them.

With just 30 minutes of game time under his belt in the last two seasons, as a stand-in for Waimea

tween friends but quickly snowballed into an experience James will never forget.

What was initially a throwaway comment on a group chat soon morphed into a post on his friend’s Instagram page, The Legend of Marty Banks, to almost 30,000 followers.

“Need a first-five for a weekend?” it read.

The post also featured highlights from James’ days in Buller, where he won Heartland Player of the Year in 2014, as well as clips from his most recent game, which showed that he still had the goods.

And it was convincing enough for Suburbs to get in touch and he was on a flight to Auckland less than 72 hours after the post was

made.

Ahead of the game, he says the nerves were more about running the ship with crew mates he’d only just met, rather than the prospect of playing.

“Most crazy plays are a pass from 10, so you have to know who to pass to.

“It was all a random bit of a laugh, and now it’s come to reality it feels like a bit of a dream.

“Once the kids get old enough to understand and I can tell them, it’ll be a good story.”

James is unsure if standing in will

be a one-off, saying it’s difficult to manage working five days a week and family life on top of going away for a weekend.

But, it’s not off the cards if the right opportunity presents itself, with James still neck deep in the rugby space as he’s set to be part of Buller’s coaching staff for their Heartland Championship chase this season.

“I’m enjoying this stage of my life and career,” he says. “Ideally, teams should use their own players if they can, but anywhere I can grow the game I will.”

A bounce-back second half shows the promise of the Waimea Old Boys Women despite a 22-50 loss to Kahurangi.

Coming up against the competition front-runners, Waimea OB came back with a strong second-half performance after going scoreless through the first 40 minutes.

It took 56 minutes for the team to break through, with Kahurangi running away with the game early before being dragged back in by the home side at Jubilee Park.

With Marist and Kahu-

rangi running away on the competition standings of the four-team league, Waimea OB is in third ahead of Moutere as the action takes a break for the King’s Birthday this weekend.

With the premier men out of action with a bye, the women were the top flight of Waimea OB rugby.

The club’s second division team were also in action, getting a big win over Riwaka with a penalty in the dying minutes to win 24-22.

After also going scoreless through the first

half, Waimea made a big comeback, piling on a 24-7 second-half scoreline to snatch the win.

The win was just the team’s second after five games, and they will hope to carry that form on as they look to chase the competition’s front runners.

Currently ranked ninth on the competition leaderboard with nine points, the team still has time to scrape its way back into the playoff picture despite Stoke, Huia, and Takaka running away with the top three places.
