It takes a community to make a hospice happen, and the month of May has seen Nelsonians put their hands up to help raise over $100,000 for Nelson Tasman Hospice’s bi-annual appeal.

A grass-roots community campaign, the Hands up for Hospice appeal was championed by NBS and saw the people and businesses of Nelson Tasman join together in a mammoth effort to raise much-needed funds through everything from high teas to line dancing events!

The stand-out fundraising contribution came from the team at Olive Estate Lifestyle Village & Paragon Eatery, who raised an incredible $28,500 through a series of 18 events and initiatives across the month.

Olive Estate Lifestyle Village managing director, Kristin Nimmo, says the community had had the “time of their lives” fundraising for this worthy cause.

“The Nelson Tasman

Hospice is such a key service within our region, and I think you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who has not had contact with them in one way or another.

“What I could not have predicted was how much our Olive Estate and Paragon Eatery community would benefit from coming together to raise money for hospice. It has been incredible to witness the unity in our small community strengthen, along with new friendships being made, all while raising some $28,500 for a great cause,” Kristin says.

Another appeal highlight was the MoreFM Heave for Hospice event, which raised just under $18,000 and involved 18 teams battling it out for tug-of-war supremacy, including an NBS Nelson Giants vs. Tasman Mako face-off and Tasman District Council vs. their Nelson counterparts.

Tony Gray, Chief Executive of Nelson Tasman Hospice, says seeing hundreds of people share their support of Nelson Tasman Hospice with photos from fundraising events and video throwdowns challenging people to join the Heave for Hospice, demon-

strated that when a community comes together for a good cause, anything is possible.

“It has been incredibly humbling for us as a service and we want to acknowledge and thank the many businesses, community groups, schools and individuals that backed us throughout May “The money raised will be used to help our doctors, nurses and allied health team of social work-

Blanket speed limit reductions to revert MAX FRETHEY

Local Democracy Reporter

A proposal by the Government to alter how speeds are set could make it more difficult and costly for councils to change speed limits.

Last week, the Government opened consultation on its draft land transport rule which aims to put a stop to blanket speed limit reductions.

“The previous government’s untargeted approach slowed Kiwis and the economy down, rather than targeting high crash areas of the network,” Minister of Transport Simeon Brown said in a statement.

The proposal would reserve speed changes made since 1 January 2020 on local streets with widespread 30kmh speeds around schools, urban connector roads, and rural state highways. A binding schedule of speed limits for each road type would also be introduced, while councils would have to undertake cost-benefit analyses on changing the speeds for each affected road, enact variable rather than permanent speeds outside schools, and meet ministerial objectives.

Tasman’s deputy mayor Stu-

art Bryant, chair of Nelson Tasman’s transport committee, says the impacts of the changes on the region’s speed management plan weren’t yet identified, “but at first glance, the draft rule would appear to make it more difficult and costly to change speed limits.”

The region’s two councils are currently in the process of creating a speed management plan which was consulted on over the summer.

Though guidance from the Government has been opposed to blanket speed reductions, Stuart says the committee will look to lower speeds where it’s being specifically called for by residents.

“Our community has provided strong feedback that they want to see some changes, especially around schools, and we’d like to progress those if possible.”

But even as the committee tries to move forward with some reductions, several other roads across the region could soon see their speed limits increas.

The sought changes could see a return to 100kmh limits on stretches of State Highway 6 between Wakefield and Hope, and between Nelson and Blenheim. If Waka Kotahi can

demonstrate public support for the reduction in some sections, such as hilly or windy areas, the lower speed limit can be retained in those locations.

However, the agency would be required undertake new consultation on the changes in line with additional requirements contained within the draft rule.

The highway between Blenheim and Nelson was classified as a high-risk rural highway before speeds were reduced.

In the 10 years between 2009 and 2018, 20 people died and 92 were seriously injured. Of these, 19 of the deaths and 87 of the serious injuries were in areas with a 100kmh speed limit.

The route has seen a 93 per cent reduction in fatal and serious crashes since the reductions were introduced.

In the same period, there were 98 crashes on the section between Wakefield and Hope which saw three people killed and 18 people with serious injuries. Tasman District Council says that no local roads will be affected by the draft rule, with recent changes, such as the reduced speed limit outside Motueka Steiner School on Robinson Rd, already being accommodated by the proposal.

Fighting disease behind the mask GORDON PREECE A Richmond school girl undergoing treatment for a disease which currently has no cure will share her story behind her mask at an upcoming fundraiser for Cure Kids.

Nine-year-old Saint Paul’s Catholic School student Sophia Binns was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in January after a swathe of health issues.

The disease causes inflammation in one or multiple parts of the gastrointestinal tract, and while there is no current cure, its progression can be slowed with medication.

Her mother Rosa hopes that her daughter sharing her experience and participating in a question and answer segment at the Cure Kids Masquerade Ball in Blenheim on 29 June, will enable ballers to recognise the patients who would benefit from the fundraiser.

She says Sophia is heavily engaged with Nelson Hospital’s paediatric department and Christchurch-based gastroenterologist, Professor Andrew Day, for her treatment. Andrew is also spearheading a Cure Kids-funded

It is anticipated to lead to significant advances in the Crohn’s disease approach and management in young people in New Zealand.

Rosa says she first noticed her daughter was showing signs of something more serious than travel sickness when she and her

family were holidaying in the USA in September last year.

“She was getting sore tummies, she was low on energy, and we kind of put it down to travelling, and when we got back, she actually got Covid,” she says.

“We were back and forth to the doctors with similar symptoms, as well as having had covid, and they couldn’t really pinpoint what

was wrong with her.

“She lost a lot of weight, she had to give up a lot of her sports because she didn’t have the energy to do it, and she missed a lot of school.”

Rosa says, after finally getting an appointment with Nelson Paediatric Department at around Christmas time, tests revealed that Sophia had high inflamma-

tion levels in her bowel, which instigated a referral to Andrew.

“We went down to Christchurch to see him at the end of January, and she had a lot more investigative testing done, and he diagnosed her after that on the spot with Crohn’s disease,” she says.

“Since then, we’ve been heavily engaged with the paediatric department at Nelson Hospital, Andrew Day, and Sophia’s getting more specialised medication which is given over infusion at the hospital.

“She’s a lot better at the moment, she’s been able to attend school more, she’s taken up netball, and she’s been able to attend most games so far this season, which is more than we could have hoped for.”

Rosa says Andrew invited Sophia to attend the Cure Kids fundraiser as a special guest, to speak on stage about her journey.

“Hopefully, by Sophia attending, it helps people to see real-life children who are going to benefit from the funding that they’re going to raise [at the ball],” she says.

“It’s a no-brainer to support Cure Kids, because at the end of the day, it supports research which is going to support Sophia.”

Team effort restores Belgrove windmill ANNE HARDIE The old Belgrove windmill has stood tall for 126 years, and after strong winds tore off a section of its wooden blades a few months ago a team effort has restored the structure and ensured it continues as a landmark for decades to come.

It’s a landmark of national significance as it is a rare relic of the water supply once used on New Zealand railways. When it was built in 1898, the railway existed between Nelson and Belgrove and was being extended to Motupiko. The windmill was large enough to supply the steam engines and the small town of Belgrove. Restoring the wooden relic, which sits opposite the former Belgrove Tavern, was a one-of-akind project for those involved.

ITM in Richmond replaced the old totara blades with yellow cedar and joinery supervisor Isaac Farrer-Elphick says every blade has a different angle, so it meant getting the right angles for every one of them. Once recreated, Brown and Syme painted the wooden pieces.

Scott Construction had the job of getting the structure down

and back together, with Wakefield-based foreman Chris Dallyn, who was part of its team, saying it certainly had its challenges.

“It wasn’t easy, especially putting it up. The wind got up when we were putting it back up, so we had to tie it to the fence to stop it turning. The last thing you want is it turning while you’re up there.”

The team, which included Scott Construction’s engineering workshop, used a crane and bucket truck to resurrect the windmill. Chris says there would have been no crane or bucket truck when the windmill was built in 1898 and it would have taken a bit of ingenuity to erect it back in those days.

He’s pretty sure the windmill would still pump water if it was connected to a pump and the wooden tower is still sound.

During his time working on the windmill he has heard that the trains that stopped to fill with water sometimes struggled to get up enough speed as they headed up the hill to the tunnel. If that happened, the train rolled back down the track and had another go at building up speed to make

the climb.

The windmill is managed by the Department of Conservation, and Heritage New Zealand traces its history back to those early days when it supplied water to power the steam engines.

It describes the windmill as ingeniously designed with a system that prevented the holding tanks from overflowing by using a bucket for the overflow. Once full, the bucket’s weight pulled the sail out of the wind, effectively stopping the mill. The bucket emptied after an hour through a small tap and then rose up the tower, moving the sail back into the wind. Steam engines eventually became obsolete and in 1933 the Belgrove line was closed and dismantled. However, the Belgrove Windmill continued for domestic water supply until it ceased operating in the 1960s.

It has been restored a couple of times over the decades and Scott Construction has long carried out quarterly maintenance checks to help retain Belgrove’s piece of railway history. Heritage New Zealand’s site says the windmill has architectural importance and its simple, effective design has technological interest.

Indian spices to tantalise taste buds ANNE HARDIE Last year’s Indian Food Festival was overwhelmed when some 800 people turned up to sample authentic Indian cuisine, so this year a team of volunteers will help plate food to an expected 1,500 festival goers.

Anjali Puri is driving the festival, which is one of several Indian events she is organising in a bid to help the local, expanding Indian community stay in touch with their culture and also to showcase their culture to the wider community.

The festival is being held at Saxton Oval Pavilion on Sunday, 23 June, with tickets sold for a buffet inside and food carts selling Indian food outside. Anjali says the buffet-style cuisine inside the pavilion will help overcome the challenges last year of trying to serve dishes as well as explain the ingredients and background to each dish.

It was only after she migrated to New Zealand five years ago that she realised just how much she loved her country, its culture and the family values. She knew others felt the same, which led to the Diwali celebration for the public at Founders Park. Three thousand people attended that last year and she says they are expecting possibly 5,000 this year when it is held in October.

Last year she formed a trust to make it easier to seek funding for future Indian events and her plans keep expanding. She now has a weekly ‘Gettogether’ for the local Indian community which she estimates is somewhere between 700 and 1,500 people, and is already planning a newsletter to promote small Indian businesses to newcomers.

“It’s easier immigrating to big cities where there’s so many opportunities, but it’s harder in smaller places. You have to

work harder, but there’s also all those opportunities because it’s a blank canvas.”

Anjali also wants the wider community to know that Indian culture is more than just “performances and Bollywood movies”, which is why the Indian Food Festival is not just food, but includes displays of colourful saris, paintings and jewellery. Food is the focus though and she says Indian cuisine is all about the aromatic spices, which is why her pantry is packed with Indian spices, sought from Indian food shops and packaged in small quantities to keep them fresh.

“It’s about the spices and how you use those spices. If something is supposed to go in at the end of the cooking and you put it in at the beginning, it will make a difference.”

Tickets for the buffet and also a spice information session are available through Eventfinda.

Switching sea for land After the sailing adventure of a lifetime, new owner operators of On the Spot Meadows in Richmond are excited to switch the sea for dry land and take the reins of the brand-new store. Craig and Karen Bishop-Everett returned to the Top of the South at the end of last year after four years of fulltime sailing abroad. Prior to embarking on the trip, Craig and Karen owned On the Spot Collingwood and Take Note Tākaka. They always knew they’d return home to serve their community as local grocers again.

“The whole time we were away, on a Tuesday, I would say to Karen, ‘it’s delivery day today’, because Tuesday was our Foodies delivery day when we would get our weekly stock for the store,” Craig says.

So, when the opportunity came up for Craig and Karen to return to the area and open On the Spot Meadows, the only convenience store serving the Meadows subdivision, it just seemed meant to be.

“We’ve always loved the grocery industry and we’re so excited to be back in this beautiful part of the country to serve our local community,” Karen says.

On the Spot Meadows opened on Tuesday, 18 June, and will service the Meadows community of around 5000 residents.

Longstanding trustee steps down KATE RUSSELL After 12 years helping steer the Network Tasman Trust, Ian Barker is switching off from his role and is encouraging others to give it a go.

Ian is one of six trustees, five who are elected and one who is appointed by the three largest consumers.

They manage the distribution of financial benefits, distributing over 42,000 electricity users a substantial financial boost each year, allocating over $3.4 million annually. This year, nominations are open for three positions, and Ian, who was elected in August 2012, is urging locals to stand.

“Knowing that you are working in the interest of the consumers is a good motivator, we’ve returned millions of dollars to our consumers. It’s also good to keep abreast of what is happening in the industry. It is important to me that Nelson is getting the best deal it can.

“Network Tasman has consistently charged almost the lowest lines charges in New Zealand, so that’s been satisfying.”

Ian has been serving the city since 1980 when he became the Nelson City Council’s city secretary, and later, the director of

He was elected to the council in 2001 and chaired various committees until 2019. He was involved in the governance of Greypower, Age Concern, and the Nelson Residents’ Association, and is a life member of the Tāhuna Beach Holiday Park.

He is also a committee member of the Nelson RSA and has also carried out the role of the re-

turning officer for the Network Tasman Trust before becoming a trustee.

“I wanted to continue to serve the citizens, it was good to think I could work in the interests of the consumers to ensure they were getting good value.”

Ian says it’s now time to retire and hand the role over to someone else.

“It’s time to contemplate the

many things I have done for the city. I get a lot of satisfaction knowing what I have done.”

Ian says he has “every faith” that the trust will continue to serve consumers well.

Nominations opened on 14 June and close at noon on 12 July.

Nomination forms are available from www.networktasman. co.nz/trustee-elections or by emailing iro@electionnz.com

An eclectic collection of art FROM PAGE 1 ANNE HARDIE

It was only after he retired that Bernard Carroll picked up a paintbrush and began to create artwork that reflected his love of nature.

Now, he is one of eight local artists who are exhibiting an eclectic collection of art in the Richmond Mall, from oils and watercolours, to mixed media, mosaic, resin and jewellery.

The Richmond Art Group periodically exhibit their work in a vacant site in the mall and Bernard says it is not only an opportunity to sell some of their work, but also talk to the people who pop in for a look.

“We just love seeing the public and telling them how things were done and who we are.”

Bernard was a vet for 20 or so years and retired with his wife, Sharon, to the Nelson-Tasman region for its artistic community.

Now they have a studio set up at their home where he works on one side, creating artwork that may include fossils, shells and even driftwood, while on the other side of the studio, Sharon creates mosaic pieces.

“We’re each other’s biggest critics, he says. “I started with one thing and got into collages and then into mixed media, and at the moment I’m playing with sculpy clay.”

He says Richmond Art Group is a bunch of friends who are mostly retired and like their art. One paints pictures of pots she photographed in Greece and Italy, while another is a master glass artist.

Realistic paintings of Africa and New Zealand are the work of one of the painters in the group, while another member includes pencil drawings.

“We don’t find any boredom in later life.”

The exhibition is in a vacant store beside Westpac and will run until 30 June.

Community gym expansion for growing numbers ELOISE MARTYN A Brightwater community gym has had to undertake major renovations to help it accommodate the more than 200 people who now come through its doors each week.

Taylors Contracting Wanderers Gym now sees over 100 seniors, 49 ladies, and 76 individual members every week, and has completed stage one of the project which will help it keep up with the consistent growth.

Stage one has recently been completed with three unisex toilets, two showers, an accessibility bathroom, accessibility entrances, and accessibility parking.

The important supporting work undertaken consists of new or improved drain-laying for sewage, wastewater, and stormwater, moving to gas, and improvements to the switchboard.

“Even so, finding a builder was difficult as the budget was small and work required significant.

“We are very pleased with the work of Callum Rogers of Rogers Build who took on the project and played a central role in getting stage one across the line,” he says.

“We aren’t finished just yet.

We hope to complete stage two by the end of the year but, as always, this is reliant on funding.

“Wanderers sees the community gym as important because it offers social connection and a sense of belonging, in addition to improved health.

“The seniors’ classes in par-

ticular have rapidly growing numbers and the space is no longer fit for purpose.

“We have made a plan and are adjusting it to suit now and into the future.”

Stage two consists of demolishing an existing kitchen and old bathroom to create more gym floor space. Visit www.wandererssports.co.nz to find the gym schedule.

The Little Things The frazzled mum with two screaming kids in the ‘Little things’ cartoon 14 June, never ever occurred in my mother’s life. Why? It was because we knew that by acting with her in that manner would swiftly result in being given a better reason to cry!

The infant is too young, but the older one needs what millennia of parents knew not only worked, but raised law-abiding citizens, namely, the application of an unwelcome but behaviour-changing pain, to the place provided.

Traffic in Richmond has increased noticeably in recent years

For every person who commutes to work and school by bike there is one less car on the road to congest traffic.

This also leaves more parking spaces for people who need to use the car e.g. for health reasons. Not having to slalom around parked cars and no risk of getting side-swiped by an opening car door makes traffic safer for everyone. The new cycle lanes in Richmond might not be perfect, but they are a step in the right direction.

Time to adjust to the new situation and a little goodwill from all road users will go a long way.

Kicked in the teeth yet again!

When times are tough the council seems to just keep on spending. Looking at the recent Panui the council has announced an 11.1 per cent rates revenue rise for the next 12 months which exceeds the forecasted 9.6% in the consultation document.

Honestly, I just don’t get it!

Our young people are heading off overseas dissatisfied, 130,000 left our shores in the last 12 months. The general cost of living is huge, people are going for the cheaper not necessarily healthier options! People are struggling to pay their mortgages with the interest rate rises. The list going on but our council still wants to keep spending, when they talk about a new inclusive playground at Saxton Field, I cringe at the thought of my $73.00 per week I pay in rates, where I get no “direct” benefit from going to the council to fund things like this! Many discussions are being had right now with friends and family about cost of living, interest rates, cycle ways and now rate increases. Our council has a lot of control over a couple of those things. Apparently, we are in a downturn or a recession. Our council doesn’t seem to think we are!

Surely, when times get tough you pull in your horns and pay your bills and service the debt. Of which the council debt is huge but they still want to keep on spending!

Government funding needs to be spent on repairs and

maintenance and not creating more infrastructure or adding to what is already there. People need to be kept warm and safe not constantly hit in the teeth with ever increasing bills. Give us a break, councillors! Pay the debt, fix our local roads, look after what we already have. You don’t need to find more ways to spend money, at least until things improve.

Give your ratepayers a break or you might find a lot more of us out there are not able to pay their rates!

Nelson ‘at risk’ of losing international cricket Yes. Responsible advertising does not lead to binge drinking.

David Curl People don’t go to a cricket match to sit and read billboards. The region needs the revenue these games bring in. Stop wasting time on this to appease a minority. Ratepayers money funds this.

Sue Sara In reality, only large businesses can afford to sponsor major events. Many large businesses will have some-

thing that someone will object to - whether it is one of their products, the workplace conditions of their workers, an action of one of their owners, etc. Without these sponsors, we won’t be able to have these events.

Will anything that is funded or partially funded by Lotto be barred? Lotto promotes gambling and gambling can be an addiction.

Lynley Worsley I definitely want cricket.

Surely they can just reach a compromise like they do everywhere round the world just allow them to advertise their zero alcohol beer Tom Hassan Alcohol advertising at sports grounds should be banned like smoking is…

Jamarl Thomson Allowing alcohol at games is not going to make someone drink. Stop the pc crap and allow Nelson to have international sports games. I’ve been around alcohol advertising my whole life and I’m a non-drinker. NCC, stop holding Nelson back. If we don’t have it here another city will jump at the chance.

Brings in money to the economy.

Vanessa Rose We want Cricket! We want Cricket! We want Cricket!

Advertising alcohol is sure not going to influence me and 1,000’s of others to hit the booze. Bring it ON CRICKET for ALL and good for the community.

Proudly brought to you by...

The tenacity of a community making light of difficulty ROBYN PARKES In October 1936, a public meeting was held to consider purchasing the old Foxhill School building to be used as a hall. This came about because a new school for Foxhill was to be built which left the old building surplus to requirements.

The sale was approved in November, but it was not until May 1938 that it was complete.

Through a newly-formed hall committee, plans were developed to raise funds for the purchase and renovation of the old building. Fundraising began with a social and a sports and gala day held on 21 and 24 July, 1937. The gala day was full of some good old-fashioned events. The school children’s copper trail competition, Foxhill v. Belgrove, was won by Belgrove with a lead of 3s 4d. A wheelbarrow race from Belgrove to the school was won

by Mr R. Jellyman and a married couple’s race and bicycle race for

over 40-year-olds brought much amusement. A fancy-dress football match, Forestry v. Foxhill, ended in a victory for Foxhill.

The costumes slowed the game up a little, especially that of the Michelin rubber man.

Wakefield Citizens’ Band attended to provide a selection of musical items and afternoon tea was had with tables daintily laid out with refreshments. The sum estimated for the sale and alterations/ repairs was around £350 and £180 had been raised by September. A second sports event helped to swell the funds considerably.

Mr Reg Best’s dog, dressed as a Plunket baby, wheeled in a pushcart and drinking out of a baby’s bottle, won the best dressed dog event. The hop, step and jump was won by Gilbert Nesbitt, the long jump by Harold Nesbitt, the 12in underhand chop by L. Hahn and the sawing 18in log competition by F. Higgins and Nesbitt. The Foxhill Colts defeat-

Dances and concerts at Dovedale and Wakefield were held in September and October with members of the Scottish Society, Walter Black and Begg’s accordion band providing entertainment.

Many willing workers donated their time and the old floor was removed, new concrete piles put in to replace the decayed wooden

ones, new joist and bearers and a new heart matai floor was planed, sandpapered and polished to make a first class dance floor. The porch was refloored with wood to make a supper room along with a ladies and gentlemans cloak room and a library, all equipped with electric light. With still more work to do, another £120 was required to finish it off. A new piano was purchased for the first social and dance in the hall in

mid-June 1938.

In September, a new stage of 20ft by 12ft was started along with another addition, an additional dressing room, repairs and painting. Logs for timber were donated

by Claude Hollis and Leslie Higgins and a working bee of Foxhill residents helped to fell and get the logs out. However, more funds were needed so a debate in October was organised with two subjects — “Should bachelors be taxed?” and “Is broadcasting of Parliament in the best interests of the country?”, along with a further sports day and evening dance. By October 1938 the hall was almost complete. When the project was first considered residents voiced that it was beyond the capacity of the district to complete, but a strong committee and the tenacity of a community made light of the difficulties and the process of raising funds became a source of enjoyment and bringing people together.

Inspiring future foresters Stuart Drummond Transport is making significant strides in community engagement and education through their innovative initiative: donating Little Trucker magazines to local schools. This quarterly contribution not only promotes the industry but serves as a valuable educational resource for young minds. Recently, 6-year-old Jack Ching and 7-year-old Madi Sixtus of Brightwater School were spotted engrossed in an edition of Little Trucker. By having the Little Trucker magazines available to local schools there is hope that it will help inspire the next generation of forestry leaders as well as foster a deeper appreciation and understand about the role transportation and forestry plays in our daily lives across the Top of the South.

The kookaburra might sit in the old gum tree in Australia, but here in Tasman the distinctive kōtare (kingfisher) perches on lampposts and powerlines, with its increased presence being noticed as they establish inland territories for winter.

“The rise of kōtare sightings is likely due to favourable habitat conditions and conservation efforts. As well, the birds often go inland for winter to find a food source before heading back to nest and breed along the coastline,” Cynthia McConville, chair of Forest and Bird Golden Bay, explains.

The small bird is an iconic percher and is distinctive with a green-blue back, yellow to orange underside, pink-brown legs and feet, and a large black bill. They live in a wide range of coastal and freshwater habitats and have benefited from artificial structures such as powerlines and posts placed beside and over estuaries.

More frequently encountered in the North Island with its warmer climate and vast coastlines, the bird is becoming a common sight around the top of

One of the kōtare (kingfisher) seen regularly in Lisa Graves’s Redwood Valley garden. Photo: Lisa Graves. the South Island, both coastal and inland. Cynthia has loved birds since she was a child and watched them in her parents’ garden. When she moved back to Golden Bay in 2018 a penguin attack by a dog prompted her to get more involved in conservation work.

“There were seven little blue penguins killed on our local beach by a dog, so I decided to join Forest and Bird’s Golden

Bay branch. Now, I chair the branch and I am responsible for our shorebird protection campaign. I have many coastal nesting sites I monitor and one of them is a kōtare nest,” she says.

Forest and Bird are an independent conservation organisation, they are nature’s voice, and the group works to defend nature on land and water.

“Climate change has affected kōtare nesting areas, especially

in cliffs where heavy rain has caused slips or cliffs to collapse,” Cynthia explains. “Also, cutting down the large trees at Tāhunanui Beach some years ago left some kōtare displaced, these trees provided a safe nesting site and home for them, a great spot right on the waterfront. It’s important that we embrace birds as part of our environment.”

Bird enthusiast Lisa Graves, who has been photographing birds at her Redwood Valley home for the past seven years, says that numbers of the kōtare have “definitely increased over the past four years” to the point she sees them daily at certain times of the year.

“I now see, sometimes, three different kingfishers in a day, which is really special. There are a number of young ones this year which is the second year we have seen young ones on the property,” Lisa explains. “They love to sit on the clothesline and certainly have their favourite spots to sit and scout their next snack here, we have good numbers of praying mantis which seems to be their favourite snack.”

Their conservation status is ‘not threatened.’

Rural women mission complete, with $12k raised ELOISE MARTYN A group of ladies from Tasman Rural Women have raised $12,000 to support Nelson and Tasman families that are struggling to afford school and sport fees and equipment.

They have now distributed the money between three intermediate schools and several surrounding area schools, benefitting around 185 families.

Members of Tasman Rural Women, Liza Vass, Anna Thomas, and Emma Higgins launched ‘Play for Keeps’ in 2023. The majority of

associated with the TOSI (Top of South Island Area Schools) tournaments.

Maruia Area School used the funds to update sports equipment, meaning teachers are now able to provide a wider variety of sports lessons, exposing students to more games, skills, techniques, and experiences.

Nelson Intermediate School is putting the funding towards encouraging and supporting girls to participate in sports, specifically basketball, football, cricket, and rugby, where female numbers are low, by re-

the funds are being used to assist females participating in sports by reducing or removing the cost of fees and equipment, which are barriers for some young females getting involved in sports.

Emma says, initially the group contacted intermediate and area schools, asking a range of questions so they could better understand the need within each school, and from that got busy creating the ‘Play for Keeps’ mission.

Murchison Area School are using the funding towards participation, fees, equipment, and costs

ducing the cost of sporting equipment which is often a barrier.

Broadgreen Intermediate School used the funding to cover female sports fees and Collingwood Area School, Tapawera Area School, and Waimea Intermediate School are using the funds on a discretionary basis, using it for a combination of equipment and sports fees for females to participate in sports.

“Our completed mission has highlighted the work that the Rural Women organisation does,” Emma explains.

“We often ask our members and the wider rural community about issues or concerns affecting people in the rural areas they live in and our ‘Play for Keeps’ mission has put Nelson and Tasman families at the forefront of what we have been working on as a group.

“It’s been so rewarding for all involved, this opportunity was made possible by all the generous women involved and through funding from Manatū Wāhine Ministry for Women as part of celebrating the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023.”

The tamarillo revival ELOISE MARTYN During World War II, tropical fruit import restrictions boosted the popularity of tamarillos in New Zealand as a winter source of vitamins A and C and minerals, however this underrated superfruit is making a revival as trees and fruit pop up in gardens all over Tasman.

Although tamarillos are from South America, the name is not Spanish but a Kiwi invention.

The fruit, introduced to New Zealand in the late 1800s, was originally known as tree tomato, however, in 1967 to avoid confusion with the common tomato, and increase appeal to export customers, the New Zealand Tree Tomato Promotions Council decided to rename it Tamarillo.

When tropical imports started again after World War II, the fruit lost its homegrown popularity, possibly due to its temperamental nature and severe frost sensitivity.

Dot Charles of Murchison proudly nurtures a productive tamarillo tree that has graced her garden for more than a decade.

“My tree is around 10 years old. No fruit grows to ripe on the tree – it gets too cold, too quickly here. I pick them off and ripen them in my covered porch.”

Last year was Dot’s most successful tamarillo harvest to date.

The tree grew 12 goodsized tamarillos, but again, they needed ripening inside.

It’s not uncommon for tastes to vary when trying a new food like tamarillos and Tom Hulleman, Lloyd Gordon and Taylor Martin recently had the experience of trying tamarillos for the first time.

The fruit was grown and ripened in Brightwater, on a young tree in a pot in a sunny spot under the house ledge.

Tom loved them and ate a few, Lloyd wasn’t keen, and Taylor certainly wasn’t a fan, highlighting the subjective nature of culinary preferences.

monthly board meetings. They will be encouraged to have their say in decisions and give their perspective as a young person.

These initiatives are not only about getting young people into volunteering but creating a positive experience as well.”

Caroline Budge, the manager of Age Concern Nelson Tasman says, “National Volunteer Week is a great event on the calendar for us to really recognise the contributions of our volunteers, say thank you, and show our appreciation to them.

We are very lucky that we have so many people in the region with incredible experience and backgrounds who are willing to assist with volunteering. They offer huge amounts of value, time, energy, friendship and companionship to our organisation and we work very hard to let them know we appreciate them. It is important for us to personally say thank you and ensure that everyone gets acknowledged.” The act of volunteering is twofold, says Caroline.

“The feedback from so many of our volunteers is that they give their time because they want to give back to the community, but they find they get just as much from it as well.”

In collaboration with Volunteer Nelson, Age Concern Nelson are co-hosting the upcoming NBS Volunteer Expo on Sat, July 13. The team will have a stall at the event to help with any volunteering enquiries, and Caroline says, “We will be there with bells on!” Gordon explains the Volunteer Expo is a great opportunity to have face to face conversations with volunteer organisations. “To be hosted at the Annesbrook Event Centre on 10am until 2pm, there will be 35 different organisations at this year's event.” Sponsored by NBS and supported by Tasman District Council, the yearly event continues to provide a unique platform for community organisations to recruit volunteers and network with the community. “It gives exhibitors a chance to engage, interact and connect with visitors and prospective volunteers. This Expo also enables these organisations to strengthen,

The joy and connection Barbara and Dick bring to the programme highlight the profound impact of volunteerism, continues Maaike. “This week, we extend our heartfelt thanks to them and all our volunteers who enhance the mana of whānau to be safe, resilient, and connected.” Are you passionate about helping others and making a difference.

Visit the Expo and see how you can benefit!

Celebrating National Volunteer Week, Presbyterian Support honour volunteer heroes As we celebrate National Volunteer Week, we are reminded of the invaluable contributions of volunteers who embody the spirit of community and service, says Enliven team leader Maaike Faber-van Burik.

byterian Support Enliven programme. “Barbara and Dick have a long history of involvement with the Scouts, and their transition to Enliven came naturally. Barbara began volunteering in our Day Programme in August 2013, and Dick joined her as a van volunteer in July 2021.

Barbara works with the Harakeke group, while Dick is involved with Totara. Their commitment to enriching the lives of our clients is truly inspiring.”

Feature

Excellence in service and community commitment Nelson Heat Pumps, owned by Simon and Briar Duncan, embodies perseverance, adaptability, and unwavering community support. As a small, family-owned business, Nelson Heat Pumps prides itself on delivering high-quality services while maintaining a close-knit, customer-focused approach. Continuing a legacy of excellence, Simon continues a family tradition that spans many decades.

With nearly 20 years of experience, Simon brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to Nelson Heat Pumps. The young couple acquired the business in 2023, marking a new chapter. “We pride ourselves on making the little

things count; as to us, that is what matters,” says Briar.

For the team at Nelson Heat Pumps life, is not just about business; it's about giving back to the community. The couple have a strong connection with Nelson Netball, recently sponsoring the Nelson Gold U16 Netball team during their competition in Christchurch over the King’s Birthday weekend.

Simon, who coached the team, shares a deep passion for the sport, mirrored by their daughter Ayva, who played in the Nelson Blue U16 Netball team.

Both teams performed admirably, says Briar, facing tough competition from Christchurch teams.

“Netball sponsorship is 22 Wednesday 11 October 2023 Feature quite significant to us as a family, and we are proud to have our name and brand associated with something that is so important.

Nelson Heat trio head to World Series JACK MALCOLM Three aspiring local baseballers and their coach are on their way to America ahead of debuting at the International World Series.

Garin’s Carlos Thompson, Beiro Polanco and Nelson College’s Mahe Reilly flew out on Monday morning alongside their regular season coach, Hayden Thompson, who is an assistant coach for the team. Playing in the U14 grade, the team will face up against some of the best young prospects America has on offer.

“At this kind of age in the American system, this is where the college coaches and selectors start casting their eyes. The level they’re at, the pitchers are really having movement on the ball. . .

Some guys in the US are getting up to 80 [miles per hour] with their pitches.

“For a lot of our team, I’m sure it is a dream to play baseball in America. There’s also a lot of them who also just enjoy playing ball with their mates.”

Beiro’s dream is to earn a scholar-

Three local baseballers, Carlos Thompson, 14, Beiro Polanco, 14, and Mahe Reilly, 15, say they’re excited to test themselves against some of the world’s best ahead of the U13 International World Series in California.

As the son of a former New York Mets big leaguer, Eliooth Polanco, he started playing six years ago.

His favourite team is the New York Yankees, likely to his father’s mild displeasure as his for-

mer cross-town rivals, because it’s who one of Beiro’s favourite players, Juan Soto, plays for. Like his dad, Beiro’s an infielder specialising in shortstop and second base, saying he also likes to swing the bat. Mahe is behind the plate, having moved into the catcher’s position recently and saying he’s enjoyed the change.

“You’re in every play in the game.

“It’s hard, though, when they swing, you’ve just got to hope your glove is in front of the ball.

You can’t see anything.”

As the oldest of the trio of players, he also has six years of baseball experience without any softball background.

Hayden says there are differenc-

es between the two games, but a competent player could make the change. Two of the biggest differences are the view batters see of the ball, with softballs rising from an underhand pitch while baseballs are falling into the strike zone from an overhand throw, as well as the size of the field.

Because baseball uses a larger diamond and outfield, local games are played on a grass field in the Saxton complex because the local softball facilities do not meet their needs.

As a pitcher, Carlos says the smaller fields would mean a lot more home runs because the pitches are coming into and off the bat at faster speeds and with less resistance due to a smaller ball. He also has six years of experience, having built up a wheelhouse of different pitch types that move differently in the air to fool the batters. With 24 teams from across America in their division, they are the only international team involved. All three say they’re excited to gauge themselves against some of the best.

BLUES V CHIEFS

The awards’ night ended a great year for the Nelson Speedway club with a full clubroom celebrating the season’s achievements. From the youth grades of Quarter Midgets and Ministocks to the big grades of Super Stocks and Sprint cars, two new life memberships were also presented on the night.

Acknowledging the many volunteers that are part of the club, special mention went to the track crew and junior members team that did an outstanding job that often required many hours throughout the week to prepare for the weekend event.

There were many who had multiple roles within the club, sometimes working deep into the night to get the job done.

The club made mention of the drivers that achieved at a national title level: Cody McCarrison 2nd at the NZ Street stock title and 3rd at the Grand Prix, Steve Soper retaining his 3nz Streetstock title, Jack Rarity 2nd at the NZ Stock Car Grand Prix and John Schoester 2nd at the South Island T.Q. title.

Alicia Hill was awarded the John Pomeroy Memorial trophy for Competitor of Opening night. Rookie awards were awarded to Jack

Ryan in Quarter Midgets, Callum Russ in Super Stocks, Jason Clark in Streetstocks, Caleb Head in Productions, Maia Nicholson in T.Q.’s and Matt Rollo in Stock cars.

Best presented trophies were voted on by their own class drivers, the winners: Bailey Bensemann in Quarter Midgets, Amy and Toby Walker in Ministocks, Ben Stillborn in T.Q.’s, Shane Harwood in Super Stocks, Connor Rangi in Sprint Cars, Harry Moffat Schwass in Streetstocks, Zoe Hughes in Stock cars, Vaughan Cornelious in Productions and Rob and Harley Martin in Sidecars.

Sportsperson awards were also voted on by the drivers, the winners were Bailey Bensemann and Andre Musgrove in Ministocks, Cody McCarrison and Dave Lietch in Productions. Jayden Corkill picked up the Robin Bloomfield trophy for the driver who helped the most others in the grade.

After a short break, life member Dave Leitch came up to present two new Life Memberships, the first was to fellow teammate and production saloon competitor Geoff Watson, whose commitment goes way beyond racing. He is a busy member who has been working around the track behind

the scenes for many years.

A wee tear shed with only a few words, humbled by the honour.

Paul “Spud” Murphy has been the data expert behind the racing results. It’s been a busy few years with a change of results systems and learning new technology. The array of many wires behind computers and monitors all functioning as well as the recording devices on the cars giving a weekly challenge.

The former stock car and Saloon driver also covers other tracks when needed.

There were plenty of awards for season points, stirrers prizes, triples and pairs amongst the grades before the big Individual awards were handed out.

President Wayne Russ presented the following awards: Team of the Year Nelson Knights Street stock team.

Sportsperson of the Year Shane Harwood. His return to racing won him many trophies but also for the support of the club, especially with aiming at securing the NZ Super Stock title.

Competitor of the Year Cody McCarrison. After helping Steve Soper to secure the 3nz last year, Cody finished 2nd at the NZ title then 3rd at the GP. He represented the club around the country at many of the major

Streetstock events as well as being a key supporter within the grade in Nelson.

The final awards were for members of the club who have contributed off the track; Sean Dundass took the Tony Coppell Memorial tray for “Official of the Year”, and Kerry Hill won the Harrop Cup as the member who has done the most for the club. Besides the track work, crewing, Kerry has been a major force supporting the Super Stock grade and the club’s flagship event, the PTS Stampede. Without his support it wouldn’t’ve have got off the ground.

The President’s Cup was awarded to club secretary Stephanie Atkinson, hubby Josh and kids Maddi and Bastian for their outstanding job behind the scenes, from preparing the clubrooms, sorting trophies and sashes, they have spent more time at the track than at home.

The new seasons’ calendar can be found on the club’s Facebook page. Kicking off in October, there’s fireworks, Sprint cars and Super Saloons in November, a Xmas derby before the NZ Super Stocks on 10/11 January, NZ T.Q. GP in February with the Super Stock tour before the Stampede in March and the April Queen of the Clay and Easter events.

Premier season comes down to the wire JACK MALCOLM Waimea Old Boys’ chance to sneak into the playoffs remains alive as they eye up the tail end of their campaign’s season.

Currently sitting just outside of playoff contention in fifth place, tensions are high as either they, Marist or Stoke will clinch the third and fourth places into the semi-finals.

And it’s so close that a single bonus point could decide the fate of the three teams still in the hunt as Waimea OB sits on 28 points, three short of Marist on 31; while Stoke have a buffer on 37 points but will not add to their tally this weekend with a bye.

With four points for a win and bonus points on offer for scoring four or more tries or losing by less than seven points, the action is set to come down to the wire.

This weekend, Marist have an away date with the competition’s leading team, Kahurangi, while Waimea Old Boys will look to topple Moutere, one of the competition’s cellar dwellers, at home.

That sets up an exciting final round, with Waimea Old Boys and Marist set to play

It didn’t take long for the influence of Macca Springer to become apparent as he started off the bench for Waimea Old Boys over the weekend. Photo: Evan Barnes/Shuttersport. what is shaping up to be a winner-takes-all game, while Stoke need just one bonus point against Moutere to secure their spot alongside Kahurangi and Central.

Waimea Old Boys have been the competition’s dark horse, already exceeding expectations after struggling to find momentum in previous sea-

sons.

The club has also pulled out some of their former stars to don the jersey again, with Macca Springer suiting up on the bench for their game last weekend and making an almost instant impact when he was introduced.

Campbell Morgan-Parata has given the team another ex-

tremely strong first-five option, alongside Sam Briggs, since his return from the Western Force with James Lash’s experience and fearless defence often try-saving in the 15 jersey.

But the team’s improved performances and added firepower weren’t enough to get past Stoke last weekend as they fell just short of a comeback in a 27-23 loss.

After Stoke scored with 20 minutes to go, which looked to seal the win as they took a 27-13 lead, two quick tries got Waimea OB back within touch and with time still on the clock for the restart.

After marching the ball all the way down to Stoke’s 22, an unfortunate handling error scuttled their chances of earning the vital four competition points for a win.

Captain Codey Grimes says they knew they had the comeback in them and felt unfortunate not to have made it stick.

“We made our way back, we could have got through. But that’s just rugby.”

Despite the result, there were still reasons to celebrate for the team as Jayde Palmer brought up his 50th game and celebrated with a try.

HARRIS Murray

MONDAY

It is with sadness we heard of the passing of retired circulation guy Murray Harris. With help from his very reliable wife Gladys, Murray oversaw delivering the Waimea Weekly for nearly 10 years.

Starting off with Reach Media and then out on his own with help from Gladys, they were a formidable force in getting the papers out to the readers. Murray, an ex-shepard, took the job seriously and was well liked by Steve and Jenny who owned the paper, and his delivery people.

Steve remembers Murray’s unique ability at turning anything into a rolling chassis to carry papers. “I used to enjoy popping in to see Murray and Gladys as Murray was so passionate about his role but a nice guy with it.” Old prams were delivery vehicles, and any wheels were soon attached to rolling cupboards. Steve says “he took it seriously for sure and it’s important to note we very rarely got any complaints, both he and Gladys were so good.”

Candy Belinda 22nd June 2023 Goodbyes are not forever Goodbyes are not the end

PART TIME

They simply mean we miss you until we meet again.

NEW ROLE We’re hiring seasonal workers now...so if you’re keen to step up and succeed, ask yourself this question: ‘how will I own it with Alliance this season?’ Will it be learning new skills that’ll help you turn a job into a lasting career? Maybe it’ll be earning good money to help you get those needs (and wants!) sorted. Or perhaps it’ll be working with an awesome crew who make the day fun. However you’re keen to own it, or whatever you’re keen to own, a seasonal role with us is a great way to make it happen.

We would supply a delivery van and on job training.

Although part time it’s a very important role so our remuneration would reflect this. We would envisage this suiting a retired or semi-retired person but open to suggestions.

Memories forever Mum (Aileen Gooding), Stepdad (Dusty Gooding), Sisters Lisa Rose and Miranda Radcliffe, Stepsister Rebecca Gooding, Brothers Duke Climo and Gideon Climo

We would estimate it would involve about 20 hours per week at the start of the week and would occur over 2-3 days.

Right now we have great seasonal roles available at our Nelson plant for Butchers, Boners and Labourers. If you’ve got experience in any of these, awesome, but if not you can look forward to full training that’ll get you skilled up and on your way to ‘owning it’.

To join the team, it’s essential you’re able to pass a pre-employment drug test and medical assessment.

So, if you’re ready to lay solid foundations – for work or life – join our seasonal team today.

Candy, you are loved for the little girl you were, for the special woman you are, and the precious daughter you will always be - love Mum

Things are going well for us and now we need a circulation manager to manage the complete deliveries of our publications each week. This would include dropping bundles off to our home delivery people, dropping copies off to shops and cafes around the area.
