No u-turn for ‘silly’ school bus stop GORDON PREECE “It’s been a really silly system for a long time,” and “it’s a matter of time before an accident does happen” are two descriptions of a Dominion Rd school bus stop,

off SH60. The bus stop offers 32 Garin and 100 Waimea College students living in the area free transport to and from their respective colleges.

Some Māpua and Ruby Baybased students travel past Māpua

School, where their bus parks overnight, to their zoned bus stop 3km away. The bus stop has a double whammy with around 50 vehicles unloading and collecting students at around 7.30am and 4pm each day, and trucks using

Dominion Rd travelling between sites like nearby orchards.

The Ministry of Education (MoE) remains adamant the Dominion Rd stop complies with Waka Kotahi’s safe siting guidelines.

Concerned public say, on rainy

days some students, who can’t be dropped off, walk across the 100kmh highway because the pedestrian underpass, which provides access to the bus stop,

Shortest day for longest ride ANNE HARDIE It was the shortest day and the longest ride for about 50 cyclists who tackled the 172 kilometres of the Great Taste Trail loop last week. At 7am they were on the Māpua Ferry to cross the water to Rabbit Island before heading over Spooners to Tapawera, then the Baton Saddle to Riwaka, back into Māpua for a well-deserved beer. It is the third year that My Ride Richmond has prompted the casual ride for keen cyclists, with many taking the day off work to use pedal-power to ride the loop. Among the cyclists on the wharf at the end of the day was Craig Richards, who says there was still time for a few pies and coffees along the ride.

“You look back at it and think it’s amazing. At the time it feels like it’s killing you – you notice the last 20kms.” The day was short, the ride was long, and the consensus was it was a good day out.

Do you think speed limits outside schools during school travel times should be 30kmh and 60kmh for rural schools, or vary?

Lynette Roose

Rachel Fraser

Nigel Barrett

Jamie Hobby

“They should only be 30kmh, with the number of children attending school and the amount of traffic, it would only take one small incident for a child to get away from a parent.”

“A lot of [the rural schools] when I was growing up were 100kmh still, so it will be a lot safer for the kids at 60kmh.”

“It’s a good idea to keep kids safe rather than building these very expensive speed bumps.”

“I think 30kmh is fine, it’s only 10kmh less than what it is now, so it won’t be any harm.”

Three illegal discharges have been detected in streams in the past month and Tasman District Council is urging locals to notify them early when they see murky water so they can trace it back to the source.

Infringement fines for discharges of contaminants to water start at $750 and increase to $1,000 when it is from industrial or trade premises.

Compliance and investigation team leader, Dave Shaw, says recent discharges include swimming pool water containing chlorine, paint from washing down buildings and household products reaching the stormwater system. He says tracing the discharge to the source can be difficult, particularly in urban areas where it

ment fines can be issued.

So far this year, three fines have been issued. In the past month, white discharge has flowed in Jimmy Lee Creek and another time from a stormwater outlet into Reservoir Creek. With the latter, a member of the public noticed the discharge and notified the council, with staff able to trace it back up the stormwater network to the source and an investigation is continuing.

He says contaminants such as paint, detergent, household pesticides and garden sprays can poison fish, eels, and in some instances, dogs. Inside drains flow into the sewerage system, but outside drains flow to waterways, estuaries and beaches, so he says only rain should go down outside drains.

No u-turn for ‘silly’ school bus stop to walk in unsafe situations under any circumstances.

“Caregivers are responsible for safely transporting their children to and from their school bus stop and as such are best placed to decide the safest way to do this,” he says. “We remain satisfied that the Dominion Rd bus stop meets Waka Kotahi’s safe siting guidelines and therefore meets our conditions as safe to use.”

While the distance from Māpua

FROM PAGE 1 floods. Caregivers say the bus stop is unfair, particularly as Māpua and Ruby Bay-based Motueka High School student’s bus stop is located at Māpua School.

They say a Transport Eligibility Zone (TEZ) change, which is set by the MoE, would overturn the “silly system”, and enable Waimea and Garin College students to also use the Māpua School stop.

Amber Bonny’s daughter Zoe and son Isaac walk to the bus stop from Dawson Rd. They attend Waimea, rather than Motueka High School, due to their Richmond-based sporting commitments. Amber has campaigned for the MoE to deliver change, with local parents, the colleges and groups like Tasman District Council’s support since July 2022, but no change has come about.

“It’s been a really silly system for a long time... the bus leaves Māpua, drives across the highway, and picks up the kids where it could just let them on at Māpua School, which is a safe, big area,” she says.

“When the underpass floods my kids end up jumping the barrier and running across the highway, which is not awesome at all… and [the MoE] says ‘no, we’re not changing [the bus stop’s loca-

Māpua parent Lizzie Graham is equally concerned by the bus stop’s ongoing pandemonium.

She transports her daughter Gabbi Brabant, who attends Garin College, to and from the stop.

“Every day that you’re there there’s someone who makes a bad decision, or a kid almost gets hit.

It’s a matter of when, not if, someone’s going to get injured or even killed there,” she says.

“The other day I dropped Gabbi off and a kid was walking along the side of the road of the motorway trying to get to the bus because they were late… because of the weather.”

Mahana-based Thawley Logistics managing director, Aaron Thawley, says he encounters monthly near misses between trucks and students at the bus stop area and has witnessed students walking across SH60.

“I think it’s a matter of time before an accident or incident does happen, whether that’s a car, bus, or person gets hit.”

Planned cemetery hoped to provide 100 years of space MAX FRETHEY

Local Democracy Reporter

A joint cemetery to serve both Nelson and Tasman communities is looking increasingly likely as burial capacity in the region continues to shrink.

On Thursday, Tasman District Council formally agreed to pursue a joint facility with Nelson City Council, provided their neighbouring council also agrees.

Richmond Cemetery is expected to only have capacity for the next 10 years, while Nelson’s Marsden Cemetery is estimated to have 15-20 years of space left. The lead-in time for a new cemetery could take four to seven years. The joint cemetery is hoped to have capacity for 100 years, or for about 16,000 burials, and so the councils would need to secure land that has an area of about 22 hectares, but finding suitable land of that size might prove difficult.

A council working group with iwi membership outlined several different factors to consider for the site, including groundwater depth, distance from water courses, suitable ground conditions, safe from sea level rise, slope of site, and transport accessibility.

The distance between central Nelson and central Richmond will also be considered, while trying to avoid highly productive land or land iden-

A preliminary analysis of the region determined there were no appropriate sites in Nelson within 40km of the city’s centre and so the cemetery would likely be located in Tasman.

However, there are also a “limited” number of appropriate sites in Tasman, with the current possibilities looking like either Appleby or Redwood Valley.

The joint approach is favoured to create efficiencies of scale and reduce the costs associated for each council, rather than each council establishing their own smaller cemeteries.

Burial and plot fees would also be aligned between the two districts, where Nelsonians currently pay more

to be buried and interred than Tasman residents.

While supportive of a joint approach to the cemetery, Tasman Mayor Tim King wasn’t sure whether the region needed to provide capacity for the

next 100 years.

“The way things change, how fast things change – I know the one thing that doesn’t change is people dying, that is fairly consistent – … but I think solutions overtime may ap-

pear.”

Ensuring a long-term supply will delay additional and costlier land purchases in the future when there is less land available, council officers highlighted. The councils can modify the scope of the cemetery if the 100-year approach proves unfeasible or difficult.

After discussing a business case for the joint cemetery, Tasman’s elected members received a report for a land acquisition proposal for the cemetery in confidential session.

If the councils are unable to purchase a suitable site, they are able to acquire the land through the Public Works Act.

Hāngī to celebrate Matariki at Garin ANNE HARDIE Matariki was celebrated with a hāngī for 250 people at Garin College and it was a team effort in the cold hours of dawn to prepare the feast in the earth oven, or umu.

Pork, lamb and chicken with a mix of roast vegetables and cabbage was lifted steaming from the pit before being served up with fried Māori bread and accompanied by kapa haka and a waiata.

It is the second year the school has prepared a hāngī around Matariki after its Māori whānau came up with the idea at one of its regular huis.

Māori head girl, Sophie Richardson, was part of the team of students and parents who prepared the food the night before and set the alarm for 3am to light the fire that heated the metal balls that went into the deep pit to cook the feast. Four large metal baskets, lined with saturated cabbage leaves to protect the food from

By lunch time, the soil was shovelled off and the steaming baskets were lifted for students to dish out.

They currently have 173 primary and intermediate school relievers in Nelson, and 153 in Tasman, signed up with them.

Last year was a trial run with enough food in the hāngī for 100 packs which were sold within the school. Learning from last year, Sophie says they prepared enough kai for 250 meals this

“The actual number of these relievers that are available is reduced,” he says, “The demand is more acute than we’ve ever seen before. It’s a systemic problem with how many teachers we are producing and how they are retained. There has also been a significant increase in demand due to additional classroom release time for teachers.”

So far this month they have published 456 jobs, compared with 366 jobs in June 2023. “That’s around a 25 per cent increase, and it’s not the end of the month yet.” Last week, Waimea Weekly reported that many schools in the region were struggling to find relief staff, with Wakefield School having to send two classes home one day earlier this month.

At 16 years old, Nate has already got an impressive resume as a budding conservationist. His love of conservation was sparked when he spent a day tree planting at school as an eight-year-old.

“I tell this story to everyone, but that inspired me. Learning more about our local environment and ecosystems – we were doing something to leave our environment better than we found it,” Brightwater-based Nate says.

He’s been hooked ever since, joining Forest & Bird Youth when he was 13. After discovering his region did not have a local ‘Youth Hub,’ Nate started one, rapidly recruiting 40 like-minded young people from across the Top of the South to plant trees and protect nature.

Salisbury Rd to lose ‘dangerous’ concrete separators MAX FRETHEY

the Florence Medical Centre.

Some Richmond residents have been vocal in their opposition to the removal of car parks for cycleways, but the Salisbury Rd survey highlighted the medical centre as a specific area of concern.

The trial 30kmh speed limit on Hill Street, between William and Queen Street, will also come to an end with the 50kmh speed re-enacted.

The lower speed limit was not being complied with by most drivers – likely because of a lack of traffic calming measures, such as speed bumps, in the area.

Car parking along the affected section of Hill Street will remain with no separated cycleways slated to be installed, like on the rest of the road, as of yet.

The changes made will continue to be monitored and further changes may occur in the future pending further community feedback and usage data.

The Streets for People programme is 90 per cent funded by Waka Kotahi and prioritises trialling low-cost, adaptable infrastructure which can be easily and cheaply modified as needed.

The modifications agreed to by the council will be sought to be made before funding for the programme runs out on 30 June 2024.

Local Democracy Reporter

The concrete separators along Richmond’s Salisbury Rd will be removed after they attracted the ire of residents and raised safety concerns.

The change comes as Tasman District Council seeks to accommodate some of the feedback it has received on its contentious Streets for People cycleway projects.

Councillor Glen Daikee proposed to have the separators removed, describing situations where cyclists have collided with the separators and fallen into the carriageway.

“The reason we put these in, which I voted for, was to keep cyclists safe. We have inadvertently made it more dangerous,” he says.

“We cannot leave them.”

The separators were installed to create a physical barrier between cyclists and motor traffic, to increase the perceived safety of cycling and to appeal to “interested but concerned cyclists”.

Some schools in the project area have suggested that more students are cycling to school since the cycleways were installed, with reports of their cycle racks being “full to overflowing”.

Feedback from council surveys also show that respondents feel that Salisbury Rd is now safer than it was without the separated cycleways.

However, many respondents specifically voiced dislike of the separators, with some saying they were distracting and were obstructions on the road.

Drivers have repeatedly hit the concrete separators, with some crumbling or becoming detached

The pale concrete separators were frequently hit by both drivers and cyclists. Inset: Councillor Glen Daikee says the separators made Salisbury Rd more dangerous. Photo: Max Frethey. from the road, creating obstacles for cyclists in the cycleway.

But councillor Mark Greening was concerned that removing the separators might be premature, though like most elected members, he didn’t vote against Daikee’s proposal.

“I’m a little bit more concerned about the safety of the cyclists than necessarily a car hitting these concrete things because they didn’t see them. I think the real problem is probably the visibility of them.”

Currently, the separators are pale grey with white ends with a red reflector on top.

Instead of removing the separators, Mark suggested paint-

ing them yellow or replacing them with yellow rubber separators like those c ur rent ly installed on Salisbury Rd outside of the schools.

The rubber separators currently on Salisbury Rd will remain in place, as will the concrete separators along other roads across the district targeted by the Streets for People programme.

The other change coming to Salisbury Rd will be the reinstallation of two car parks outside of

Bands rock the regionals KATE RUSSELL

Safety around underground boxes Have you ever wondered... “What are the little black plastic or concrete boxes on the side of the footpath for?”

Combined Garin College and Nelson College band Solace has claimed first place at the Nelson regional final of Smokefreerockquest.

Bands from all around the region took the stage for the event at the Theatre Royal on Saturday night.

Solace is made up of Mia Coldicott (acoustic guitar and vocals), Daniel MacBrayne (keyboard), Oscar Walsh (electric guitar and vocals), Oscar Begg (drums), and Boston Harvey (bass).

Mia says it was “exciting” to come away with the win and her band claimed $500 musical equipment from the Rockshop for their efforts.

“Performing on the Smokefreerockquest stage is one of the most amazing feelings. The support we have all received over the years is so special, there is nothing quite like it.”

Finessed, from Nelson College and Nelson College for Girls, came second place in the band category and also placed first in Smokefree Tangata Beats.

Coming in third in the band category was Salisbury Road from Waimea College and

Waimea Intermediate, whose singer Madison Connor also won the best vocals award.

The solo-duo winners from Nelson were Luciella Pessione from Nelson College for Girls and Shenae Speedy from Waimea College, who also won the APRA lyric award.

Event manager Danya Sanerivi says the regional finals are a “highlight of the event run”.

“It’s fascinating to see the growth in these bands from the heats to the finals. They really step up their game, pouring everything they’ve got into their performances. It’s like they hit a new level, and you can’t help but feel proud of them.”

The musicianship award went to Grace Palmer, lead guitarist of East Avenue from Nelson College for Girls, and JP Moynihan, bassist/vocalist of Shedheads from Nelson College. The ZM best song award was awarded to Imperfect Circles from Motueka High School, while the Rockshop best use of electronic assistance award went to Lilijana and Neve from Garin College.

The programme, which is now in its 37th year, is held nationwide. The top two bands plus the winners of the solo duo category can submit a video of their original material to potentially be selected as one of the top 10 national finalists.

These are Network Tasman’s ‘underground boxes’. They have fuses inside of them that connect the power cables under the footpath or verge to the service cables that carry electricity to your house or business. We have about 12,000 underground boxes on our network. Most of them are in built-up areas and in public spaces.

These boxes have live electrical components inside of them, so it’s important for everyone’s safety that they are left alone and their covers stay securely fitted.

Boxes can get damaged by: z

Vehicles accidentally bumping into them, causing the cover to loosen or crack. If a box gets repeatedly damaged by vehicles, we will look at putting protective bollards around it.

z

People drilling holes or inserting screws into them – this is extremely dangerous!

z

Unauthorised people removing the hold down screws.

Only Network Tasman approved contractors are permitted to remove the covers.

All of these things can expose the live electrical parts inside the box and put you at risk of electrocution.

If you accidentally damage an underground box, or if you see one that has been damaged, let us know straight away by phoning our fault line 0800 508 100.

Tapawera’s inaugural ‘Youthrive’ ELOISE MARTYN Nearly 25 youths participated in Tapawera’s inaugural ‘Youthrive’ wellness event last month.

Attendees, aged 11-18, explored activities ranging from learning about health pillars and energetic Zumba dances, to emphasising the importance of sleep.

“It was a great event and we tried to offer something that would interest everyone,” event organiser Temika Amstad says. “We had Zumba, jiu-jitsu, yoga,

and a health and wellness specialist, as well as a sleep guru.”

The group created a vegan-based ‘build a bowl’ for dinner which some found challenging, but they were encouraged to think outside the square regarding healthy food options.

“Through the ‘build a bowl’ we really got them to see that healthy food can be yum too,” Temika adds.

Just before the close of the event, the participants got to experience and learn about breathwork before

they made caramel smoothies with a healthy kick for dessert.

“It was a real team effort and made possible with funding from the Tasman District Council, support from Tapawera Connect, Rangatahi Explorers and co-organiser Karla Te Tau,” Temika says. “It really was a cool event and I know those who came definitely tried a few new things regarding health and wellness.”

Net’s do this GORDON PREECE Ranzau School has a sports equipment slam dunk with two new netball and adjustable basketball hoops.

Principal Dave Sampson says the pupils love court sports and the Board of Trustees made a move to invest in new hoops on the school’s grounds.

Thanks to the community’s efforts, the

new nets and hoops have now been put in place and were celebrated last week.

“There’s always lots of kids out here shooting hoops and so it’s now about trying to encourage them to do it in a more formal and organised setting,” he says.

“We want our kids to be active, and the new hoops will allow them to really shine.”

Nelson Giants guard Kobe Langley hit the court with the students, staff, and board members last week to celebrate the installation.

“Kobe’s been doing a great job coming in and coaching our kids, so what a perfect opportunity to have someone who’s a bit of a local celebrity show off his skills for the opening of our new equipment.”

Maitai rebuild saved Some great news this week – Education Minister Erica Stanford has listened to our community and has committed to funding the redevelopment of Maitai School, including my call that funding for redeveloping specialist schools be ringfenced. Parents, staff, and our wider community have been anxious since learning in April the new school and a planned satellite at Nayland College were in doubt. This followed cuts to disability support services announced by the Government earlier this year.

The community has been right behind the push to ensure that Maitai gets the important facilities they need. We've held public meetings, parents and staff have told their stories in the media, and I have continued to raise the issue with the Government. This project is not a ‘nice to have’ – it is a necessity. Disabled students have the same right to a quality education as others in New Zealand.

I have seen up close the vitally important work the dedicated staff do at Maitai, and the difference the school makes in the lives of so many in the region. My thanks to school staff, parents, and other advocates – we could not have achieved this result without your tireless work, advocacy, and dedication. By working together, we have managed to get the Minister and the Government to listen to the our community and have ensured that young people with disabilities receive the quality education they deserve.

Proudly brought to you by...

Thomas and Louisa Tidd’s brewing and boarding ROBYN PARKES Thomas Samuel Tidd Jnr was born in 1842 in Nelson. His parents Thomas and Elizabeth, nee Eyles, had arrived on board the ship Mary Ann seven months prior to Thomas being born.

In 1866, he married Louisa Midgley, and the couple made their home on a section cut out of the bush at Wai-iti. With roads that were little more than tracks, bullock carts were the main source of transport. Many of the residents in the area were known to walk to Brightwater and even Richmond, to attend church services and purchase supplies.

Louisa was born at Brightwater in 1845 to Henry and Mary Ann Midgley, nee Seymour. Her parents had arrived in New Zealand in 1839 and 1840 respectively on board the ships Bolton and London. Thomas and Louisa later relocated to Foxhill, where he

carried out a business as a farmer and brewer. He was a member of the Mansion of Peace Lodge and of the Forest Lodge and was also for a time elected to the Foxhill School committee. The couple had 11 children, although not all reached adulthood.

Thomas, in partnership with Eliab Baigent, opened ‘Wakefield Brewery’ which they operated from a building at the rear of Eliab’s home until August 1893 when the partnership was dissolved, leaving Thomas to continue on his own. When Eliab, requiring a slower pace in life, moved to another home, Thomas took over the house in 1898 and opened ‘Tidd’s Boarding House” and in 1901 Louisa advertised her tearooms offering refreshments at all hours for cyclists, cricketers and holidaymakers. Louisa continued to run the house and tearooms after Thomas died in 1909.

A serious accident occurred in

Tidd’s Boarding House, Wakefield. Photo: Tasman Heritage, Waimea South Collection.

January 1903 when Louisa and daughter Mary were driving home in the late afternoon and on reaching the school bank the trap broke, and while descending a steep grade struck the bank.

Louisa was thrown onto the horse

before falling onto the road. Dr. Pearless, who was close by, heard the screams and arrived shortly after the accident. After tending to Louisa he arranged for her to be carried home on a stretcher.

After a full examination it was

found that she had only suffered from shock and bruising.

Four years after Thomas died, Louisa put her total property up for auction to be sold in one lot.

The auction took place in Nelson on Saturday, 25 January, 1913 and included the brewery, public hall and boarding house at Wakefield.

The brewery was listed as a large building, the boarding house as having 10 rooms and conveniences, a large hall used for public meetings, dances etc., a large building used as a bottling store, fitted with a brick oven, outbuildings and a five-stalled stable, with the property having two frontages to the main road and within three minutes of the railway station, post office, school and recreation ground.

Louisa moved into Washington Valley, Nelson and remained there for the rest of her life. She died at her son’s home on 12 September, 1934 aged 89 years.

Opinion

Wednesday 26 June 2024

Opinion Wensley Road works When we were advised that Wensley Road was going to undergo major work to remedy the countless pot holes and uneven surfaces, we were delighted, despite the advice that road closures would be involved.

Over the last few years, this important and increasingly busy corridor has undergone frequent repair work to remedy the sub-standard surfaces which exist between Oxford Street and Langdale Drive.

The recent surface repairs undertaken were so extensive that we (and many others), reasonably anticipated a complete kerb to kerb reseal to complete the upgrade. Not so!

Recent new road markings (much of which is also sub-standard), would indicate that the contractors and the Council have now completed the work to their satisfaction. The new surface in many areas is very rough and does not align with the existing seal.

The new bus stop is already showing extensive signs of slumping despite recent remedial work.

Who is accountable to ensure standards, specifications and the overall outcomes for such essential work are being met cost-effectively?

Undoubtedly, further remedial work on this increasingly important arterial route will be required in the foreseeable future.

It is obviously a false economy not to have done this work to a more satisfactory standard in the first place. Surely the responsibility lies with TDC. Is there no accountability for quality control and expenditure?

At best - disappointing. At worst - totally unacceptable.

Garry & Frances Thompson

Richmond’s new traffic plan I would like to commend John Hewison for his insightful comments regarding Richmond’s new traffic plans and share my own perspective. I fully agree with all his

points and would like to add a few more.

Not everyone is a cyclist, and my heart goes out to the residents of Upper Queen St and similar areas who have lost their street parking.

This loss could potentially impact their property values, and I believe efforts should be made to replace their parking. I am curious about the accident statistics for cyclists in these areas.

Has the council conducted a thorough analysis?

Regarding the speed bumps, I believe the funds would have been better allocated towards repairing Wensley Rd, which is in desperate need of attention.

Numerous other roads in Richmond also require repairs, and it seems unwise to squander money unnecessarily. The Queen St parklet is another concern.

I fear it may prove to be a waste of money, potentially significantly affecting the income of the adjacent shops due to inadequate parking. While there is parking behind the Sprig and Fern, it often proves insufficient during peak times. Asking older individuals like myself to park around the corner and walk is simply impractical.

Team effort restores Belgrove Windmill Wow, that’s great to hear the history of the windmill. I used to travel past it a lot as a child, as Dad worked up in the Golden Downs. Thank you.

without taking risk of damaging our cars.

Ridiculous!

Peter Pokeno It doesn’t surprise me the council has skewed this towards cyclists safety only. As a driver, my concern always related to the ability for motorists to pull over for emergency vehicles. I came down Salisbury Road in peak traffic the other day with an ambulance right behind me with lights and sirens and nowhere to pull in.

While it would of been nice to see all removed, I am pleased the powers that be have listened to some concerns and seen it fit to remove the offending concrete barriers.

Natascha Whitehead How much does all this cost? The cost of making them, putting them in place, now removing them, cost of replacing them with something else?

Kay Clausen

Salisbury Rd to lose ‘dangerous’ concrete separators They were totally dangerous. But then so is the cycle lane that suddenly stops at the bus stop and a bus cuts you off on your bike. Slam on your brakes and hit the curb!

Diane Chandler Well done TDC. Now we need to show some empathy and compassion for the elderly residents who have become isolated in their homes and unable to receive the in-home carers and visitors they need.

What we have now is faster traffic down Hill St and dangerous backing out of driveways, cyclists would be far safer with the strongly recommended 30 kph speed limit (in reality about 40kph) and no cycle lanes.

How many councillors actually saw the ViaStrada safety audit? We have the second most elderly population in the country show you care.

Carolyn Woolf Can’t make ways for emergency vehicles

Groundbreaking forestry innovation in Brightwater The cool thing about Dale is you can trust that whatever comes out of that factory will make logging better because the man is a logger. So the ideas really come from experience in the bush, made in Brightwater and pushed back into the bush. That’s an industry leader right there.

Rural first aid champion ELOISE MARTYN For the past seven years, Tapawera beef farmer Emily Higgins has been instrumental in empowering locals with essential first aid skills.

For those living in rural areas, knowing basic first aid skills can potentially make a life-saving difference while waiting for an ambulance to arrive in an emergency.

Recognising the critical importance, Emily has ensured community members have opportunities to upskill in first aid by organising St John to come to Tapawera to deliver full first aid and refresher courses.

“Dairy Women’s Network used to offer regular courses here, but with the shift from dairy to hops, that ceased.

It’s really important to be equipped with first aid when we are far from the hospital and doctors,” Emily explains.

“Having first aid knowledge is vital on the farm, where accidents like animal injuries or bike mishaps can occur.”

Emily recounts using her training to aid a choking child, highlighting how her preparedness helped her manage the situation calmly and confidently. Her experience underscores the necessity of readiness in

emergencies, particularly in remote locations.

“Hosting these courses locally reduces the need for travel to Nelson, making participation more accessible,” she adds.

An upcoming first aid refresher is scheduled in Tapawera for Wednesday, 3 July. It’s important to note that first aid certification doesn’t need to be issued by St John; certificates from any accredited provider are accepted along with certificates that have recently expired, or are due to in a few months. Anyone interested in details can email Emily at nzemzy@gmail.com

Spice of heaven GORDON PREECE

Stallholder Diksha Mahajan warmed the spirits with Indian spices. Photo: Gordon Preece.

The Sunday rain didn’t dampen the spice of the Indian Food Festival at the Saxton Oval Pavilion.

Cuisine from all Indian regions was on offer at a buffet and outdoor Nelson Tasman food carts, and a spice stall, Indian jewellery stall, and a spice information session provided a soulful garnish.

Organiser Anjali Puri says, with Diwali not taking place until later this year, the event was an opportunity for the local, expanding Indian community to tantalise local taste buds.

“Winter is the best time because not much happens in the region so I thought it would be a good reason for people to come out and enjoy with us,” she says.

“After Diwali last year, I noticed a couple of restaurants are introducing Indian street food because they think people are getting used to having those kinds of new dishes.

“So I think [the Indian Food Festival] is also a good opportunity for new stall holders to give them the confidence to experiment, it could be their next business or their passion.”

Empowering communities through functional fitness ELOISE MARTYN A local gym has been on a simple, yet powerful mission with amazing success: to make fitness accessible to everyone, from seasoned fitness enthusiasts to extending a hand and connecting with those who have never stepped into a gym.

“We started brainstorming as a team how we could be an adaptable gym and connect with those who usually wouldn’t use a gym but could benefit from sessions, we thought about who in the community we could support,” Align Functional-Fitness gym founder and trainer Brianna Wehner explains.

A team member was familiar with Richmond-based Pinnacle House, a Christian faith-based charitable trust that serves those with high-needs disabilities and knew that they could benefit, so discussions were held with collaboration seeing the gym host their first session around 18 months ago.

“The sessions involve an obstacle course and mobility warm-ups.

Through trials we have found that participants will spend longer and gain more from exercises they enjoy, so we offer self-driven supported exercise,” Brianna says. Four trainers work with the group to help and make modifi-

Pinnacle House participants and Align Functional-Fitness gym team members, from left, Brianna Wehner, Lisa Gill, James McGuire, Amanda Wyllie, Laura Berkett, Lisa Driver, Anna Welland, Ari Morris and Luke Clementson. Photo: Supplied. cations when needed.

“From the first gym session to now we can see amazing results, participants use the equipment more confidently, their ability to interact has improved greatly and they have more body awareness,” Brianna adds.

Pinnacle House assistant manager Carla Milson says the benefits and changes they have noticed in

participants are incredible.

“Participants are fitter, stronger, with more balance and coordination. We have had feedback from families who say they are steadier getting in and out of cars, more independent around the house, as well as getting up and down from the floor without help,” Carla explains.

Weekly sessions now have ele-

ments of variation in them to keep it interesting and build on subtly making the movements harder, to increase balance and coordination.

“It’s great to reduce the risk of falls and injuries, especially while out and about.”

Brianna says the sessions have been so successful that already a new group of participants from

Pinnacle House have started attending.

“When we started the gym and these programmes, we didn’t fully appreciate the direction it was all going in, seeing how excited participants are when they come here, and having the freedom to be able to adapt for these individual people and their abilities is incredible.”

Goodwill hunting locked and loaded GORDON PREECE Raising funds for the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter and a local cancer battler is the aim of a Tākaka-based hunting event which will lock and load on Friday after a two-year hiatus.

The River Inn Moonlight Hunt took its first shots in 2008 and has enticed thousands of nationwide hunter-gatherers to the rural town for a good cause.

Jamie Sixtus, who co-hosts the bash with his mother Paula and father Richard, says the rescue helicopter was the target since it had helped rescue friends, and his sister Laura following a severe motorbike crash at Anatori in 2021.

This year, Tākaka local Jack Holland will also share in the proceeds to support his level four melanoma treatment.

“People participate because

they see that we’re supporting the rescue helicopter, and that’s what it’s all about, it’s not so much the location or the prizes,” Jamie says.

“In 2008, it started as a onenight hunt and be back [at the weigh-in] at 6am, but in the end, we decided that was a little bit hard on people and the safety side of things.

“It has traditionally been quite a small local pig hunt, and then over the last four pig hunts, we’ve ramped it up and tried to make it a lot bigger for more animals to come in, and we auction them off for money.”

Jamie says the hunt officially starts at midnight on 28 June with final weigh-ins at the River Inn by 2pm on 30 June.

The adult categories include heaviest boar, sow, stag, hind, and fallow stag and hind, as well as biggest tusks, average pig and local’s heaviest boar.

Juniors can also claim prizes for the heaviest hare, pos-

sum, goat and herrings, and most hares and possums.

An open category for most goat tails is also in play and a wild game pie competition at the weigh-in provides non-hunters the scope for a place in the event.

“Normally we’ll get around $12,000 to $13,000 [in raised funds], so hopefully this year we will get more than that,” Jamie says.

“We’ve had an amazing amount of sponsorship come at us this year, and it’s actually overwhelming how much people are willing to offer support, we wouldn’t be able to do [the event] without them.”

Entries close on 27 June at 7pm, and are available at the River Inn Hotel, Tākaka Fuels and Fishing, Brightwater’s The Loggers Shop, and Motueka’s Whitwells Menswear.

Contact 027 435 0575 for more information.

When winter arrives, the battle against the cold begins. Nelson Glass Company, your trusted local glazing expert, offers a powerful weapon in this fight: double glazing. Here’s how their services can keep you warm and cozy during the frosty months.

Double glazing involves installing two glass panes with a gap in between. This gap acts as a thermal barrier, preventing heat from escaping and cold air from infiltrating your home. This significantly improves insulation. The trapped air between the glass panes acts as a buffer, maintaining a consistent indoor temperature. Say goodbye to drafts and uneven heating!

By reducing heat loss, you will notice a decrease in heating bills while enjoying a toasty interior.

Single-pane windows often suffer from condensation – that annoying fog that blurs your view. With double glazing, the inner pane remains warmer, minimizing condensation and keeping your windows clear.

Double glazing also provides excellent noise reduction. When it comes to double glazing, Nelson Glass Company stands out for its expertise, quality materials, and personalized service. Em-

Crafting quality outdoor spaces across the region DECKS4U, a family-run business led by Mike Cornelissen, has been enhancing outdoor living spaces in the region for over a decade. Mike originally founded DECKS4U ten years ago as part of his retirement plan. As a fullyqualified builder with years of experience, Mike brought a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the local market. Focused on private housing projects, DECKS4U have also collaborated with local companies to deliver bespoke decking solutions to homeowners across the region. The team consists of Mike, his daughter Sarah, main builder Dan, and young assistant Anton. Sarah, who took on the sales role a few years ago, has an intrinsic understanding of the industry, and handles measuring,

quoting, and sales with expertise and precision.

“At DECKS4U, we pride ourselves on delivering quality craftsmanship. Our process begins with a comprehensive site visit, where we discuss client expectations, placement, sizing, logistics, and design options. We provide an A3 plan and a quote that accurately reflects the proposed project, ensuring transparency and reliability.” Clients appreciate the team’s guidance on what's possible and realistic, especially regarding heights, curvatures, and balustrades, says Sarah. “As specialists in decking, we offer honest assessments and avoid the pitfalls of "bodge" jobs by unqualified workers and we ensure every project meets the highest standards.

Decks4U sales manager, Sarah Welford, at one of the company's recent projects. Decks4U brings decades of specialised experience to Nelson Tasman and Marlborough.

Working closely with clients is one of the most rewarding aspects of our business. We take pride in helping people achieve their vision for their outdoor spaces.”

One question the team get asked often is why they use Kwila decking. “Kwila is a dense hardwood that withstands heavy foot traffic and extreme weather conditions.

Its natural resistance to decay, rot or warping, ensures a deck that looks better for longer.” A wellexecuted deck not only enhances the aesthetics of a home but also adds value, transforms living spaces, and creates functional and beautiful outdoor areas.

“We run our business like a family. This close-knit environment fosters a positive and productive workplace, which translates into the quality of work we deliver to our clients. Our ongoing success is attributed to our passion and enjoyment for what we do.” DECKS4U are dedicated to providing exceptional decking solutions.

Whether looking to enhance a home's value or create a stunning outdoor space, DECKS4U is here to bring any vision to life.

What's our next project? - Richmond Room extension Over a period of time we have had plans drawn up to extend the Richmond Room conference facility to handle a better size crowd of 100 – 120 people. The extension is approximately 12m x 9m, so will give us the capability of using it in it’s current form, or opening up large acoustic doors to give us the full area, some 200+ sqm. This will enable us to hold good sized functions that currently aren’t big enough to entertain our main hall.

We went through the Tender process, receiving tender’s from three construction companies, and then took this to our AGM on 9th June, where the member’s passed to go ahead with the build. This is currently in council for consent, so we envisage being underway in the near future.

A true asset within The Meadows community

Craig, Kathy, Cherie and Karen were excited to meet so many local customers from The Meadows and thank you all for your support.

Congratulations on your new store, Karen and Craig!

Proud to supply On the Spot in The Meadows. mccashins.co.nz

GREAT TASTE SINCE 1886

Proud to supply Craig and Karen at On The Spot The Meadows www.coke.co.nz

After an adventure of a lifetime, Craig and Karen BishopEverett, the new owner-operators of On the Spot Meadows in Richmond, are thrilled to swap the sea for dry land and take the reins of their brandnew store. The couple, who returned to the Top of the South at the end of last year after four years of full-time sailing abroad, are ready to bring their wealth of experience and passion back to their community.

Having previously owned On the Spot Collingwood for seven years - their first store under the Foodstuffs South Island co-op - as well as Take Note Tākaka, and a retail consulting business, the couple sold up at the end of 2019 and flew to Fiji to buy a 45-foot monohull to begin their round-the-world trip. Then, Covid hit.

“We spent Covid cruising around Fiji on a boat,” says Craig. “There were no lock-

downs – it was awesome.” After about two years in Fiji, they sold their boat and headed to the US. They spent the next two years sailing from the US down through Mexico, the Sea of Cortés, to El Salvador, and then across the Pacific Ocean to French Polynesia, Tahiti, American Samoa, Fiji, New Caledonia, Australia, and finally, Indonesia and Malaysia.

Craig says, “When we were looking at coming back to New Zealand we started the process about what we wanted to do, and what we wanted to be involved in. We were sitting on a beach in Malaysia and just knew that we wanted to be our own bosses. We looked at all sorts of options throughout different industries across the country. But we knew that, ultimately, grocery was what we wanted to get back into. We wanted to create a ‘work family’ and spoke with the support

person, Suzanne, from On the Spot. We knew her from our store in Collingwood so already had a really good idea of how things operated.”

When the opportunity arose for Craig and Karen to return to the area, and to open the only convenience store serving The Meadows subdivision, it felt like destiny. “What initially drew us in to opening the On the Spot store was the general community feeling that The Meadows evoked,” says Karen.

“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.” Craig comments on the parallels between sailing and the grocery business, saying, “Both are fast-moving and every action has an immediate consequence, much like retail.”

Eight months on from that initial conversation they were proud to open the doors to On the Spot Meadows on Tuesday, June 18. In the weeks leading up, the couple were busy adding the finishing touches

and gearing up for the highly anticipated opening. They received numerous messages of support and encouragement from The Meadows community, which is home to around 5,000 residents.

“People have been telling us they’ve been hanging out for

us to open, and that the area will really benefit from having a local store serving the subdivision,” Karen shares.

Craig agrees, saying, “We’re excited to be a part of the community and contribute however we can. The one thing we missed about being away from

duce, chilled and frozen goods, meat, and food-to-go sections, including hot chickens, sandwiches, and sweet treats.

On the Spot Meadows – whatever you need; groceries, food to go, ice creams and sweet treats, and everyday items – they have it all in one spot! lagers wanted to connect and laugh, and they were happy.

Some of these people really had nothing much, compared to others, but they would laugh!”

Craig and Karen look forward to connecting with the community at The Meadows.

Their adventure has come full circle, bringing them back to where their hearts have always belonged – serving their local community and making a positive impact on the lives of those around them. The response from the recent opening has been phenomenal, say the couple. “We feel very welcomed,” says Craig. " It is so good to finally be here, and we feel we can create a good life.

The developers did a great job with establishing their vision of a community hub. This is our sort of thing, and now it is up to us to deliver on that vision.”

Graham Vercoe, the developer of Berryfield’s and The Meadows, and owner of GJ Gardner Homes, says the couple are the perfect fit for the business, and its surrounding area, bringing their many years of expertise to the neighbourhood and its residents. “From my perspective, I am very happy to have Craig and Karen as the new owners of On the Spot in The Meadows. They are very experienced in the grocery field and are both genuinely good people. They have fitted very well into the community they intend to serve and are an asset to the commercial heart of The Meadows.”

“We wouldn't be here without the support from all of our local tradespeople,” says Craig. “I project managed the fitting of the store until it got to a point where specific expertise were

needed. The tradies were amazing and we wouldn’t have the store we have without them, they all worked tirelessly to put the vision together. Everyone, even our window cleaner Tommo, did the best job of cleaning up nearly two years' worth of build-up on the windows.

He is just a super nice guy who did an amazing job, and that really sums up our experience with everyone! They are all just good people doing good things in their own quiet way. Foodstuffs have also been fantastic.

They are a group of grocers working together to support other grocers – and the level of help from them has been outstanding.”

Located in The Meadows hub, next to Sprig + Fern and Alioke Cafe, On the Spot Meadows is a 250-square-metre retail space in the heart of The Meadows

We’re so excited to be open!

Thanks to everyone who has helped on our journey!

Looking forward to seeing you all at Your Local On the Spot store.

Farmers Golf is a combination of a golf club fundraiser and

a day for farmers to relax as at this time of the year many would have just finished drying their cows off, meaning the cows don’t need to be milked for a short period until calving starts, which in the farming world is a huge time saver.

Hope drives Showquest win KATE RUSSELL School spirit and a whole lot of hope gave Waimea Intermediate School the edge to take out the open section of Showquest last Monday night at the Trafalgar Centre.

The theme of their performance, entitled ‘The Lightkeeper’, was about retaining hope - even when times are challenging.

“It was about building resilience, with the themes in black and white - white representing hope and black representing tough times,” tumuaki Justine McDonald explains.

The school also won prizes for best choreography, lighting, theme, video wall, and styling, as well as the Showquest spirit award.

“The spirit award was the icing on the cake,” Justine says. “Seeing the kids interacting with their own team and the other teams, it was really encouraging to see.”

Student leaders Summer Clarke and Ruby Double wanted to

thank their teachers, emphasising their team’s appreciation for their guidance and support.

“Thank you to our dance teacher Miss Lee, and Mr Phillips,” Summer says.

Justine says that Showquest is a “fantastic” opportunity for kids to make social connections and work together.

“It’s great to see performing arts come back to life after the past few years.”

Coming in second place in the open section was Garin College, which also picked up awards for best drama, props, soundtrack, live music, and star of the show.

In the junior section, Victory Primary School took out the top spot with their performance, ‘He Waka Eke Noa’.

Showquest, launched in 2018, is run by Rockquest Promotions and is the country’s largest student performing arts competition. A national digital final will take place in August with a panel of industry judges to watch videos taken at the regional events.

Legacy flies into debut show KATE RUSSELL The debut musical show for a local performance company is set to delight audiences during the July school holidays.

Legacy Performance Company is bringing Peter Pan Jr to the Theatre Royal stage from 18 - 19 July under the direction of Kirsty Allpress.

The cast of 70, aged from four to 19 years old, have been rehearsing once a week for three months.

They will be joined by two actors from NASDA in Christchurch, who will play Peter Pan and Hook and also mentor some of the younger performers.

Studio director Gemma Laing says this is the junior version of the classic production, and at 70 minutes long it is great for all ages, fast-moving with lots of songs.

Based on J.M. Barrie’s classic tale, the story follows Peter and his fairy sidekick, Tinkerbell, who visit the nursery of the Darling children late one night.

With a sprinkle of pixie dust, they begin a magical journey across the stars and come face to face with a ticking croc-

“It’s a classic story that will be magical onstage and something fun to do in the

school holidays,” Gemma says.

“The cast are all really excited to show their family and friends.”

Gemma says they hope to put on a musical annually.

Peter Pan Jr is on from 18 - 19 July at the Theatre Royal with shows at 2pm and 7pm.

old juniors to experienced seniors.

Club committee member Fiona Harris says the event’s unique structure makes for an exciting weekend of racing. While motocross is typically an individual sport, in this event, riders earn points for their team based on their results.

“Some of these kids look up to teammates like Shannon [Hewetson] and Wills [Harvey],” Fiona says. “The younger boys sit there with their mouths open, watch-

A selection of the region’s top motocross riders are on their way to compete in the Battle of the Clubs.

The 10-man team will travel to Taupo to race against some of the country’s best riders at the end of this week, representing the Nelson Motorcycle Club.

Selected based on their results over the past year, these riders are the best local talents in their respective classes, ranging from seven-year-

ing the big boys. It also gives these kids the opportunity to travel to tracks they haven’t been to before.”

The NMCC fields a team every year, and Fiona acknowledges it’s always a tough competition.

“It’s based mainly with North Island clubs, some of those clubs have two teams in. We always go in with that sense that we can do well, but at the same time it’s about that experience.

“We tell them to ‘go and do your best and have fun’.”

Each rider competes in a different class, determined by their age bracket or the type of bike they ride.

This year the team has secured sponsorships, enabling them to provide a set of riding gear for all their racers, which Fiona believes will strengthen their bond as a team. Additionally, sponsorships have helped subsidise their travel expenses.

Taryn Pinkerton is the team’s travelling manager, with a large contingent of parents also making the trip.

Holly Chandler serves up Volley Ferns selection JACK MALCOLM A busy upcoming schedule became even more jam-packed after Holly Chandler was selected for the Volley Ferns squad.

Just ahead of leaving for China with the New Zealand Junior Women’s squad as team manager this week for the U20 Asian Championships, Holly has added even more commitments to her already burgeoning list.

As one of 26 domestic players in the squad, the selection is part of Volleyball New Zealand’s pathway for their 2024-25 international cycle, culminating with the 2025 Women’s Asian Championships.

Having already travelled to Christchurch to trial for the team,

Holly will again travel in July for a Volley Ferns Camp, before another camp and five-match test series in Auckland against Australia in August. October sees club nationals, with Holly likely in the mix with the newly-formed Tahunanui Sharks club, and another training camp.

With the Volley Ferns thinned from a squad to a 14-person team ahead of their test series, Holly says it’s an exciting time to be in the mix.

“It’s hard to know.

Obviously, the squad has just been named and you can’t really pick that [14 people] at this stage.

“Definitely, in the last few years, I’ve been improving. Partly because of the opportunities I’ve had, but also as you get older you understand the game a little better.”

Having toured Chile with the Volley Ferns last year, she says the gravity of representing your country doesn’t quite hit until you’re out there and playing.

With that experience under her belt, she’s confident in her ability

as she looks to earn a spot on the playing team when it is selected later this year.

“I’m never one to assume. I kind of just think, ‘I’ve done all I can’.

“Last season, I had a niggly knee [injury] and I’ve done a lot of work strengthening that. And I’m jumping a lot higher. Going to the gym and doing all sorts of exercises and netball helps.”

Holly is back in the mix with her netball after taking a season off to

focus on volleyball last year.

Having changed from Prices Waimea to Jacks this season, she was a member of the team which beat the Men’s team for the first time since their reintroduction to the league three seasons ago.

On top of that, she’s a teacher at Brightwater School and a WeetBix TRYathlon ambassador.

“I’ve got so much else on, I sort of forgot,” she says about her selection to the Volley Ferns squad.

Holly Chandler says her defence has been the focus of her improvement in recent times, having already been known for her attacking prowess.

NEW GREEN ROLLS STRAIGHT AND TRUE: Greg Perkins gives it a roll on Richmond Bowling Club’s newly installed all-weather green. The club welcomed players to test the new surface during a local tournament last week, and they reported that it rolls straight and true. Club vice president Geoff Powell previously said the renovation had been in their sights since moving to their new location 12 years ago. “The last one we put down was supposed to last 10 years. “It was getting very worn. . . not worn out, but the seams were exposed and it had lost all of its colour.” Geoff says the cost of the upgrades was already budgeted from the proceeds from selling the club’s old assets when they moved.

Waimea Old Boy’s women’s team were dealt a tough lesson

by Kahurangi in wet weather rugby at Sports Park Motueka.

The 41-17 loss sees the squad slip to last place on the fourteam Tasman Trophy leaderboard, having won just one of their eight games this season.

And with a new competition format, with the second and third teams on the table playing a semi-final to decide who will face the top seeded team in the final, Waimea OB’s season is still alive, but barely.

They will have to pull something out of the hat if they want to be in the playoff picture, sitting equal with Moutere but behind on points differential.

That means they need at least

Waimea OB women’s captain Stephani Mitchell’s experience will be needed this weekend as the team looks to claw their way into the playoffs. Photo: Chris Symes/Shuttersport. one point from their game against Marist this weekend, while Moutere will have to lose to Kahurangi.

But it’s not all doom and gloom for the Waimea OB women’s team, who continue to show improvements week

on week despite a lack of results going their way.

A strong core contingent of experience means they cannot be taken lightly, with players like Mako Jess Harvie instrumental in lifting the team as she crashed over for a try on

Youngest ‘Old Boys’ Name: Beauden Bates What’s your favourite thing about playing rugby?

Who is your role model

My dad, because he taught me a lot of life skills.

What do you want to achieve in your team this year?

Saturday.

But the results also show that there’s work to do, with it taking just four minutes for Kahurangi to take first blood.

Missing Mako Bethan Manners, out for the season with injury, has been a significant blow to the team but has paved the way for some new stars to be born.

With quite a fluid squad, with players coming in and out of availability, the Waimea OB team’s gap between their least and most experienced players is significant.

That’s in part due to the team’s captain, Stephani Mitchell, who is one of the most capped premier players in the region with 12 years of experience in senior rugby.
