New school for Richmond West on pause ANNE HARDIE The pause button has been pressed on the proposed new school in The Meadows and the Ministry of Education admits it now has no timeframe for the project being started.

Two years ago, the plan was to have Ranzau School relocated to

the Richmond West site in time for the beginning of the 2026 school year. Ranzau School has a roll of about 130 pupils and the proposed school was expected to cater for 300.

Ranzau School was informed this year that the relocation of the school was not prioritised for funding in the Budget 2024, but it

would be considered for funding in future budget rounds.

In a statement, the ministry’s head of property, Sam Fowler, told the Waimea Weekly “there is no relocation timeframe at this stage” and it would continue to monitor roll growth in the region.

The 3ha site for the Richmond West school between the swale

around Borck Creek and the commercial hub of Central Park was purchased by the Labour government in 2020. At the time, education minister Chris Hipkins said that by 2028 the Waimea catchment would need to cater for a further 320 primary places and that was expected to more than double by 2048.

When the National Government came into power, it pressed the pause button on spending in line with its goal to make the public service more effective and fiscally sustainable. It has been undertaking reviews of ministry-led school property projects

in pre-construction to achieve better value for money. Funding for school property was prioritised to where it was most needed, it said. That led to the Ranzau relocation project being paused.

For Ranzau School and families waiting for a school in The Meadows, it brings uncertainty about where their kids will go to school in the coming years. Like Kayla Duncan, who lives in The Meadows and hopes the school will be built by the time seven-week-old Millie is ready to start school.

“It’s handy having a school in the same area so you don’t have to go very far. You get to know people around the area who will go to the same school.”

Otherwise, the family will be crossing major roads to get to distant schools, she says.

Nelson MP Rachel Boyack says a new school will address the rapid growth in Richmond and mean children can safely walk and bike to school. She has been told by the Minister of Education that the project will be reassessed yearly, based on projected growth and

network capacity, as well as future budget decisions.

“Richmond West is growing quickly and I’ve heard from parents and local business owners who are frustrated by this delay and want more information about the future of the school.

Many families moved here with the expectation that a new primary school would be built for their children.”

Ranzau School’s principal, Dave Sampson, says there has been no official communication from the Ministry of Education and though he understands there is no fixed timeline for the school to relocate to the new site, he is optimistic.

“We’re looking at what happens in next year’s budget.” He says it’s “always nice to have certainty around things” and the school is looking forward to the move, when it happens.

“As a school, we’re excited about it. There’re learning opportunities around that site. But we’re on a great site at the moment and want to deliver great education. For us, we’re interested in just doing what’s best for kids.”

Wharf jumping ‘birthright’ protected after rule rewrite MAX FRETHEY

Tasman harbourmaster Peter Renshaw said the council was taking a precautionary approach to keeping swimmers safe by ensuring boats had right of way.

“If there is maybe someone who is flustered or inexperienced at the helm that could cause a problem, so I would always err on the side of caution.”

Several submitters also raised concerns about the impact of powered vessels on the marine environment and its wildlife, particularly in relation to the Waimea Inlet.

Peter says the bylaw was focused on navigational safety.

“We need to look to other measures for environmental impacts and environmental concerns.”

Local Democracy Reporter

The age-old summer tradition of jumping off the Māpua Wharf has been protected after it was threatened by a boating safety bylaw.

Tasman District Council’s proposed Navigation Safety Bylaw contained a clause unintentionally banning people from jumping into water or swimming within 50 metres of a boat landing place at all times.

The rule would have ended the popular Māpua tradition of jumping off the town’s wharf, as well as impacting other popular swimming spots across the district like Lake Rotoiti or Tata Beach.

More than half (163) of the 256 submissions on the bylaw opposed the clause.

Council staff said the clause was drafted incorrectly and they had not intended to try and ban wharf jumping.

Ahead of Wednesday’s hearing on the draft bylaw, staff recommended the wording change to only prohibit swimming within 50 metres of a landing place while a boat was approaching or departing, or being berthed or unberthed.

That amendment reflected the staff ’s intention to ensure swimmers were kept safe from boats by ensuring the vessels had right of way at a landing place, and was supported by councillors.

Long-time Māpua resident Judy Mitchell said she was “relieved” to know the council didn’t intend to ban wharf jumping when she presented to councillors at the hearing panel.

“Water activities are New Zealanders’ birthright. They’re free, they’re healthy, everybody can do them.”

She said swimming and wharf jumping were a local tradition going back “generations” and contributed to Māpua’s vibrancy.

A ban would be “extremely difficult” to police and regularly defied, she thought.

Exemplifying water play’s generational importance to

Māpua, Kate and Sonja Mitchell – Judy’s daughters – also presented to the hearing panel about the bylaw.

Kate said that banning swimming was unnecessary as all wharf users already exercise common sense in the area, while Sonja said banning swimmers from the wharf would have been “unjustified”.

Sonja added that the updated wording of the rule was “marginally better”, she didn’t think the onus to remain safe lay with swimmers.

“Boats really should be getting out of the way of swimmers because they are the more dangerous users of the marine environment.”

Fixing damage caused by “reckless” driving in a Tasman reserve will cost ratepayers thousands to fix.

People driving motorbikes, quad bikes and four-wheel drives bypassed the bollards at the Appleby Bridge Reserve and tore up the grass, crushed plantings, and vandalised signs.

The cost of fixing the damage will cost about $10,000 and will likely result in the deferral of other reserve projects, or reducing levels of service such as litter bin collection, due to tight budgets.

“This is a total disregard for the public who enjoy these community spaces,” says Richard Hilton, Tasman District Council’s team leader for reserves operations.

“These people are doing it for their own gains, what they perceive to be a bit of fun. The damage is more mindless indifference

than focused on damaging council and community assets.”

The culprits in this case have been found and police action is set to follow.

But while some compensation will be received, the council never recovers the full value of the repairs.

“The other issue is the general public are wary and they avoid these reserves, so in turn this means the reserve’s potential is lost to the wider community because they give up on it due to the damage,” Richard says.

While repairs are being undertaken at the Apple Bridge Reserve, thought is also being given to prevention with bollards with steel wire being installed, additional plantings to reduce the open space that attracts vehicle damage, and increased signage.

The Appleby Bridge Reserve is likely the reserve in Tasman which has received the most damaged over the last year, with

incidents increasing there over the last 18 months.

Other rural reserves with passive open spaces have also been magnates for vandalism, such as the Busch, Wai-iti, and L.E.H Baigent Reserves.

While damage continue to climb at Appleby Bridge Reserve, it appears to be on the decline at Busch Reserve.

“Some of this is related to measures we have put in place to stop the damage, catching the culprits and police intervention, but also people move on – the activity stops.”

Tearing up reserves isn’t the only form of antisocial behaviour being levelled at the council, with reserves staff and contractors also sometimes having to stop their work because of “reckless” actions and conflict from members of the public.

Clay D-Day for promising potter

MORTGAGEE AUCTION

GORDON PREECE “It’s pretty cool that we can bring our environment into our everyday lives.”

Richmond-based primary teaching student Lilly-Joy Swanson has spun together a clay pottery passion since her late teens, and the 24-year-old will make her debut at Nelson Clay Week to craft more techniques.

The biennial event, which fires up on Saturday, is organised by Arts Council Nelson and brings together potters from around New Zealand and abroad to share ideas, techniques, knowledge and developments, and to ensure that pottery continues to thrive as a craft, an art form, and an industry.

Lilly-Joy says working parttime at South Street Gallery in Nelson as a teenager was the clincher for her clay journey, crafting clay artworks in Nelson, Richmond, Hope’s Craft Potters and during a residency programme at Driving Creek in Coromandel.

New boat safety rule ‘smothering’ small Tasman businesses MAX FRETHEY

Local Democracy Reporter

Commercial boaties fear new safety rules will heap unnecessary layers of bureaucracy and costs onto their Tasman businesses.

Transmitting systems are poised to be mandated on several of Tasman’s commercial boats, which would make it easier for harbourmasters to follow up complaints about behaviour on the water.

The district council is seeking to make it mandatory for certain vessels to be transmitting an Automatic Identification System (AIS) signal.

AIS provides position, identification and other information about a boat to other vessels and to coastal authorities, automatically.

The change would affect all commercial vessels that have a gross weight of 300 tons or more, are 18 or more metres long, are licenced to carry 12 or more passengers, or operate at night with passengers.

In a Tasman context, it would affect less than 30 vessels, and the devices would have to be installed by 1 September 2025.

However, local commercial boat operators protested the measures.

Abel Tasman AquaTaxi has 14 vessels that would require an AIS transceiver and is the largest local operator that would be affected by the rule change.

A council quote for the technology, excluding installation, was $2211, which would equate to

Tasman harbourmaster Peter Renshaw said the AIS technology would make it easier to deal with maritime complaints during the busy summer season. Photo: Tasman District Council. almost $31,000 in extra costs for their vessels – assuming a bulk discount wasn’t applied.

Operations manager Spencer Bailey lambasted the council’s proposal as “outrageous”.

“Is the [council] determined to lead the way in smothering small business with yet more unnecessary layers of compliance in the form of bureaucracy and unwarranted costs?”

He highlighted that the technology is not supported by Maritime New Zealand, and he doubted its safety benefits.

Chris Roff, a commercial operator and chief instructor at SailNelson, was also concerned about the council going “over and

above” Maritime NZ’s guidance.

The cost was a concern for him, saying that it would “put the viability of my business in jeopardy”.

Harbourmasters around the country, however, resoundingly disagreed.

Tasman harbourmaster Peter Renshaw said the council was trying to address commercial pressure and high-speed traffic density in those areas of coastline over the summer.

“We know how many vessels there are, we don’t know how many trips they do, we don’t know how frequently they’re done.”

The monitoring provided through AIS technology would allow complaints about vessels

not following maritime rules, such as going around headlands too quickly while too close to shore, to be more easily verified and actioned, subsequently increasing compliance and safety.

It was expected the greatest benefit of the technology would be around the Abel Tasman National Park in summertime when there was a high density of water users.

“I certainly, over this last summer, would be receiving between five and 20 complaints a day,” Peter says. “I generally believe the operators are really good, we don’t have such a big issue, but being able to prove to anybody, for or against, to me is going to be a really key thing moving forward.”

The rules would bring Tasman into alignment with Wellington where harbourmaster Grant Nalder said compliance with the rules was increased following the adoption of AIS. Harbourmasters for Nelson, Marlborough, and Canterbury were also all supportive of the introduction of the technology for Tasman. None of those regions yet mandate AIS, but Marlborough was soon planning to do so.

Councillors on the hearing panel for considering the rule change, along with the rest of the Navigation Safety Bylaw, were supportive of AIS. However, they sympathised with the financial impact purchasing the devices would have on the district’s operators.

They agreed to spread the cost for operators by instead requiring that only half of their vessels need to have the devices installed by 1 September 2025, with the remaining boats needing to comply by 1 September 2026.

“That gives them two [summer] seasons,” said panel chair and councillor Kit Maling.

“I think we’ve been quite generous, but it should start to modify behaviour.”

The final version of the bylaw will be voted on by the full council on 24 October.

Aliens key to speechmaking success STEPHEN STUART An out-of-this-world topic blew away Ikey Hrynkiw’s primary rivals in the 2024 Interschool Speech Contest in Richmond.

The annual Richmond Lions Club event packed out the Waimea College Library last week and the audience was treated to almost an hour and a half of wide-ranging speeches from 16 Year five and six students.

Eight primary schools each provided two contestants, with 11 girls and five boys given up to three and a half minutes to win over the crowd and impress the judges.

The pupils had a choice of five subjects – when I grow up, green, teacher for a day, my favourite Olympian or if only, which was easily the most popular.

Eleven of the students had stood up and delivered their lines in what was shaping as a really close contest.

Then Richmond Primary School’s Ikey Hrynkiw took centre stage with his ‘if only’ spin.

He took the crowd back to 1992 and linked aliens and mobile phones.

Half way through his address a cell phone started ringing at the back of the library.

Just a coincidence or is there someone or something really out there?

Although some of the contenders exuded confidence, Ikey says he didn’t expect to win.

“I felt my speech was quite different from the rest,” says the 11-year-old.

It was real teamwork.

“Dad gave me the idea.

“He suggested I could use aliens and then I thought of using a phone,” says Ikey, who proudly explained the origins of his Ukranian surname.

Ali Taylor-Krabo from Saint Paul’s Catholic School was second and third went to Cedar Win from Hope School.

One of the judges, Lions district governor Pam Harvey, thinks the standard was excellent.

“I had to keep pinching myself and remind myself these are Year five and six students bringing absolutely creative ideas. They have been well trained. I think there is a big tradition of speech-making around these schools,” comments Pam. She’s confident there were some future Lions Club members on show through the competition, and some parents too.

Relationship between cat and dog hits the stage SARA HOLLYMAN The age-old relationship of the cat and the dog will hit the theatre stage these school holidays in a quirky comedy directed by Mark Hadlow.

The show, which is all about the relationship between cat and dog, tells of a relationship filled with one-upmanship, chasing and teasing between man’s best friend and the more independent feline.

“It’s a really interesting show as there’s no dialogue,” Mark says.

“The relationship is all great fun till it all goes really badly wrong.”

Uncle Bert, played by Doug Brooks, affectionately cares for both the cat and the dog until a calamity has him fall over.

“They [the cat and dog] think they’ve caused this fall and so

they have to work together to get him saved,” Mark says.

For 18-year-old William Haywood, who plays Dog, he’s looking forward to his first paid gig and says it has been different learning a part that has no words.

“I am quite used to learning lines, the only one I had to learn in this was ‘woof ’,” he quips.

“I take drama at school, so it’s not something I’m new to, but different to what I prefer.”

He says he has used his own two dogs as his understudies.

“I looked at the way they behave and the woof, but they do much more than woof, they bark and whine and howl. Its been really fun to study the dog.”

He says he hopes to provide entertainment for not just children, but anyone.

I’ve got a sister who’s younger than me, shes really excited to see her brother dressed as her dog,” “My aim is for little kids to be excited and happy and think ‘what does my dog do when I’m away’?”

Mark says the show will be two weeks of intimate performances at Founders Energy Event Centre.

“It’s 40 minutes long, so great for the younger ones. I’m really excited about it, it’s theatre with a difference – it’s intuitive, inter-

pretive, and captures imaginations of a younger generation.

“I’m really hoping that all of the moves and the idiosyncrasies of the cat and the dog will create lovely images of their own pets,” he says of show attendees.

“Do we really know what our pets are doing when we’re not home? Are they mischievous, do they tease each other.”

He says, while directing and taking notes, the interpretations of the cat and dog are “absolutely

first rate”.

“I can see the cat and see the dog.

Doug is bringing a wonderful quality to looking after his pets, we realise how interesting their lives must be. Anything is go, it’s exciting.”

Cat vs Dog shows daily at 11am and 1pm between Saturday, 28 September and Saturday 12 October, excluding Sundays.

Intensive care for emergency response GORDON PREECE Recently retired ambo Marie Bint was bestowed with the Service Medal in Gold for her half-century service with Hato Hone St John. The 70-year-old joined as a St John Youth Cadet in Motueka at age 11 and never looked back.

After six years honing her first aid skills in Motueka, she became a member of the Tapawera St John station in the 80s and led its St John Youth Cadets programme for five years.

Marie got behind the ambulance wheel for her training as a fulltime paramedic in 1989 after the local forestry headquarters donated its ambulance to the community following its closure.

She qualified in 1991 and was based in Richmond covering the Nelson Bays area until she attended her final emergency incident in October last year.

“The patients are really fantastic, that’s why you stay in the job for so long, you don’t know what job you are going into next,” she says.

“They’re so grateful and they’re really lovely to invite us into their home in some emergencies, it’s a change in their lives, and we can actually do something that will help.

“I’ve worked with some highly-trained and dedicated staff and receiving the 50-year service medal was really great.”

Marie says since her retirement in 2023, she volunteered at Tapawera’s first response unit until last month, when her body told her the time was right to dispatch.

“The frontline is so demanding these days… and I’m no longer able to keep up with the younger ones,” she says. “I’m joining some of the community groups in Tapawera, and I’ve now got

Toll a bad fit for Hope Bypass Last week in Parliament I asked Transport Minister Simeon Brown if he would rule out tolling the Hope Bypass.

He said his Government “will accept those recommendations which NZTA put forward”. This follows the Government revealing last month that the project is likely to be delayed by at least two years.

I’ve heard from community members with renewed concerns this short stretch of road will be tolled, after a last-minute proposal was made by NZTA to charge motorists to use the replacement road for the Manawatū Gorge Road.

The feedback I’ve had from our community is that a toll road isn’t the right fit for Richmond. The proposed road is relatively short – only five

kilometres – so a toll road will not be workable. The Hope Bypass is not a ‘nice to have’ – it’s a fix to a real congestion problem in Richmond that is likely to get worse, not better.

In my view, our region has already paid for the Hope Bypass. We contribute $100 million a year in fuel taxes and road user charges into the National Land Transport Fund. After the cancellation of the Rocks Road upgrade, we need to get our fair share of investment from the Government.

Delaying and tolling the Hope Bypass won’t fix Richmond’s transport mess.

Instead, it will cost residents and businesses more, and potentially leave the growing congestion problem that Richmond is facing unsolved.

Your electricity discount is on its way Network Tasman is pleased to announce that its consumers will receive a discount credit on their next power bill.

Flowers are symbols of happiness.

Janelle Thorpe Beautiful. Nothing like a nice bunch of flowers to brighten someone’s day. This is really sweet.

$6.9m of discounts to be paid to consumers Network Tasman will pay consumers a total of $6.9m in discounts off their next power bill. Consumer ownership and a focus on cost efficiency have enabled Network Tasman to pay $245 million of discounts to consumers in the region since the discount scheme’s inception in 1994.

Network Tasman is forecast to pay a total of $14m in discounts to consumers in 2024/25: $6.9m in the coming weeks and $7.1m is forecast to be paid to consumers in autumn 2025.

Surely the public should be able to walk around the dam and lake since their kids’ kids will still be paying for it. And it doesn’t even generate any energy for ratepayers.

Paul Kearns There’s obviously issues re tendering processes as these cost blowouts on this scale shouldn’t happen. And if a construction company is found to have deliberately tendered low rather than realistically then they need to face the financial consequences. There was another issue with the Waimea Dam - an undetected minor fault line on site, which necessitated additional strengthening expenditure. I’m still at a loss to understand how that fault line had gone undetected during geotech surveys etc. So, what has TDC learned so these mistakes aren’t repeated?

Just as NCC had to learn from its experiences with the Pūtangitangi Greenmeadows facility (which, I hasten to add, is proving its worth as an excellent community facility).

Building Dreams with Signature Homes Nelson & Tasman Signature Homes Nelson & Tasman has grown from humble beginnings to become one of the premier residential building companies in the region. Established in 2009 by Simon and Jodie Bixley, with the addition of Shane and Louise Trench in 2021, the business has continued to buck trends, going from strength to strength with each passing year.

Simon and Jodie first embarked on the journey to create a business that would not only fulfil their dream of working for themselves but also serve the region by delivering exceptional homes. “Owning a building company is a privilege,” explains Simon. “It’s very exciting and extremely rewarding, but it also comes with a huge responsibility. We are dealing with the largest investment in people’s lives, which only heightens the gravity of that responsibility.” Driven by a commitment to providing clients with the homes they deserve, the couple have built Signature Homes Nelson & Tasman on the foundation of

quality service. “Service is everything,” Jodie adds. “Our focus has always been on delivering a home that meets our clients’ wishes and exceeds their expectations.”

After more than a decade in the industry, and with an ever-evolving landscape, Simon and Jodie recognised the need for additional resources and expertise. The couple invited their friends and long-time neighbours, Shane and Louise, to join the business as co-owners.

Combining Simon’s nearly three decades of experience in residential construction with Shane’s extensive background in managing large commercial construction projects

makes them a formidable team.

“Shane has worked on some impressive projects, like the Dunedin Prison, Forsyth Barr Stadium, Nelson Airport, along with many other commercial projects,” Simon shares. “As the ex-COO of Gibbons Holdings, he brings a high level of business acumen to the business.

Having him on board has allowed us to focus on both the front end and the construction side of the operation, which is crucial as we continue to grow. It bodes very well for the transition taking place over the next few years.” Simon’s credentials, together with Shane’s commercial and residential construction, prop-

erty investment, and company governance background, while wives Jodie and Louise handle health and safety and interior design for showhomes, creates a truly family-oriented, community-focused business. The Nelson Tasman region has always been a sought-after place to live, and Signature Homes is well-positioned to meet the evolving demands of the housing market, says Simon.

With a team of in-house designers, construction experts, finance and administration professionals, and an experienced sales team, they are ready to help the community achieve their homebuilding dreams. “Our in-house design team and estimators work closely together to guide clients through the design process, ensuring that their budget expectations are met.

But what sets them apart? “We have a very experienced and

friendly team. When clients first meet us, they are greeted by some of the region’s most experienced consultants, many of whom have been in the industry for decades.

When we started the business, it was key that we had the right

people on board. Whilst our inhouse team are vital at managing the processes, it is our trades we rely on heavily. We are very grateful to have outstanding trades working with us - most have been with us from day one! They are a

great bunch of people who you would happily have a beer with.

They have been instrumental in supporting the growth and continued journey with us. This consistency provides surety to clients that they can get honest, accurate advice on building a new home.”

Their architectural team is also key component of their success, Simon notes. Led by Design Team Leader Sunia Lata, who has been recognised as the best designer across all Signature franchises in New Zealand for the past two years, the team is dedicated to ensuring that the design work meets our customers expectations both aesthetically and financially.

“Working closely with the construction and estimating team allows us to create designs that are not only beautiful but also costeffective. I believe we may be the only company in the region with an in-house team solely dedicated to our clients.”

Simon emphasises the importance of a positive client experience, which is a core focus across the business.

“We are always looking to up our service levels. Across the board, we have wonderful individuals doing their utmost to deliver a great home in a friendly manner. You can expect a very high-quality product, the same as illustrated in our showhomes.”

At the heart of Signature Homes Nelson & Tasman is a commitment to community involvement. “We have a group of caring individuals who strive to achieve at a high level, not only for our clients but also for their families and themselves.

We have really good people on board.” As a business, Signature Homes is dedicated to giving back to the community.

They sponsor multiple sporting teams across the region, including hockey, cricket, football, netball, basketball, rugby and more.

“We also support community

The solution has been with Signature Homes, an amazing building

organisation with a most capable and friendly team, whose advice with a site and design through to managing the efficient completion of the project in every conceivable detail has been a remarkable experience.”

Their latest showhome in Appleby highlights how quality craftsmanship meets contemporary style.

Local History exploring our

Proudly brought to you by...

Richmond mechanics’ institution providing learning ROBYN PARKES As settlers moved into the area of Waimea East (Richmond), moves to replicate some of the societies, clubs, groups, etc from the old country began. On 12 November 1846, a public meeting was held to take steps to begin a Mechanics’ Institution, as a means of dispersing knowledge among all classes.

With agreeance that a library should be started immediately, the next thought was to what activities would take place within the institution. What was seen to be crucial, was for the need to service those without the means or ability to study books, towards upskilling and increasing their knowledge. It was decided that public readings of some of the best authors known would be held and that some of the gentleman of the settlement would be available to give lectures and to form classes for instruction in the

elementary branches of learning.

By the end of the meeting, new governing rules were developed and documented covering the set up and running of the institute. It was agreed that the new society would be formed, under the name of the ‘Richmond Mechanics’ Institution’ to provide instruction and the general cultivation of literature and science.

Political and religious books, controversial and otherwise, were to be admitted to the library, but no discussions on those subjects would be permitted within the institution.

Membership age was set at 12 and above with each person wishing to join having to have a written commendation from two members of the committee.

Ordinary members under 21 years paid a subscription of 4d per month, with 6d entrance on their admission as members, and ordinary members above that age paid a subscription of 4d a

Subscribers of 10 shillings a year or upwards had the distinction of being honorary numbers and anyone who donated a book or gave a donation of £3 or more was entitled to become a life member.

Officers and committee members elected were, Mr Fox, president;

Rev. Aldred, vice-president; Mr Otterson, treasurer; Committee, Mr. W. Harkness, J. Ladley, B. Jackson, W. Lyne, J. Allen, W. Snow, J. Barnicoat, J. Thompson; Around 30 men immediately enrolled as members and 80 volumes of donated books were offered from three donors with

many more being promised.

One month on and membership was up to 52. Monday and Saturday evenings were set aside for public readings, Wednesday and Fridays for instruction in reading, writing and arithmetic, and Thursdays for lectures and discussions. Among the earliest lectures given were on ‘self-instruction’, ‘mechanical powers’ and ‘astronomy’.

The institute was well patronised with pleasing results that the young men of the settlement were actively “stirring themselves in intellectual pursuits”.

By late 1857, the focus was for a reading room for the village and parents and older members were reminded that it was their duty to aid and encourage the building of such a room. A new reading and lecture room was completed in mid-1858. The building, costing around £200, consisted of a reading room 15 feet by 26 feet, with an adjoining librarian’s room.

Tapawera’s Zac Griffith at Theatre Royal MINOU JONATZKE Rising country star Zac Griffith will return to his hometown to perform a few highlights in country music as well as his own creations, at the Theatre Royal next weekend.

Spending a large portion of his childhood in Tapawera, he and his brothers have developed a passion for the outdoors thanks to their dad, and still go out fishing and hunting regularly.

Zac found his other great passion, country music, after watching Walk the Line, a biographical piece on Johnny Cash‘s life, whom Zac admires deeply.

With the Tapawera Country Music Club having fortnightly meetups just down the block, he was brave enough to perform at an early age.

Debuting with the classic ‘Ring of Fire’ at the local venue, he soon moved on to his first competition in Golden Bay, where he won the Novice Section.

After the steppingstone of scoring his first award, his collection grew steadily, competing in Blenheim, Golden Bay, Westport, and Gore. Over

time, he also became proficient with the guitar, largely self-taught.

In 2017, Zac attended the Best of the West Music Awards and was awarded the Junior Overall Runner Up and Junior Over All Winner alongside his longterm duo partner, Madison Connor.

As a recipient of the Camarata scholarship for young talents, he was able to attend a life-changing eight-day programme on songwriting and stage performance.

This further sparked his ambition to pursue a career in music, and he followed the success with becoming Intermediate Overall Winner (2022) and Senior Overall Winner (2023) at the Golden Guitar Awards.

Along with winning multiple other competitions and further studies in the musical arts, he and Madison Connor entered the New Zealand Smoke Free Rockquest and went on to win the regionals and the national final.

Not only did they get to profes-

sionally release their song ‘You Owe Me That’, but it was the next turning point in Zac‘s career.

One of the judges, Kaylee Bell, recommended him to Universal Music, which scored the musician an audition in Auckland and a 12-month development deal.

After spending time recording in Syd-

Calamity Jane inspires new Murchison business SARA HOLLYMAN “I figure if a girl wants to be a legend, she should just go ahead and be one,” are Calamity Jane’s words that influence Murchison business owner Robyn O’Malley at every turn.

So much so that the legendary go-getter has inspired the name of Murchison’s newest ice cream caravan. Robyn is the proud owner of a property on Murchison’s main street, where she bases herself at her studio selling pieces of jewellery she makes from scratch, along with a friend’s knifes.

“My studio doesn’t make money, so I thought an ice cream caravan would be a good way to boost my income,” Robyn says.

A creator at heart, Robyn left a high-paying job in the North Island where she owned three

properties, but was “miserable”.

So she sold up, bought a house truck, ended up at art school and headed south to Lawrence in Otago.

Trucking through Murchison one day, she found herself with a flat tyre so rumbled on in to the local mechanic.

“It was love at first site for me,” she says of her now partner, and reason she made the move north to Murchison. “I got a flat tyre in my truck, fell in love, moved to Murchison and here I am.”

She says, opening the ice cream caravan on her first day last year she was so busy she didn’t have time to feel nervous or doubt herself.

“I’m enjoying creating ice creams.

I've put my heart and soul into creating a space that people enjoy. The flowers go off in summer,

it’s been really positive and I love it and people love it. I make truly good ice cream.”

Robyn now spends lots of her time creating unique ice cream flavours which currently include lolly cake and chai and walnut flavour. She also blends fan-favourites Pics peanut butter, lemon cheesecake, and lemon curd ice cream.

“The locals have totally supported me, I tried really hard not to do anything that anyone else is doing. Because Commercial Cafe had been bowled, there was room for more.”

She hopes that next winter, she will have more time to get back into her studio, but long-term would like to turn every inch of her property into space that produces, having been a landscaper for 20 years.

and Information Service

“I’d love to grow my own berries for the ice cream, and that kind of thing.”

She’s also discovered a love for chai, something she had never encountered before her move to Murch. She is now looking at importing it and will continue to utilise it at the caravan.

“I decide what I want to do and i just do it. Some people are sad their whole life because they wish

they did something different.

We’re here to grow and I’m just overly excited about people living truly authentically.”

“Now I follow my intuition every step of the way. I urge people to follow their heart and whatever it is you want to do.”

Calamity Jane’s Ice Cream is open six days a week in summer and Robyn’s studio can be visited anytime by appointment.

A bit of a stretch STEPHEN STUART

Jobe McAuley pictured at the end of 2020 after being shortlisted for the junior New Zealand team ahead of this year’s Asian Volleyball Championships. Photo: Jack Malcolm.

At 1.98 metres, or six foot six in the old measurements, Jobe McAuley reckons he’s only average height in the sport he excels in.

Just turned 18, the Waimea College student is Tasman’s top ranked volleyball player.

After representing the New Zealand U20 side against Australia last year, Jobe’s been elevated to the senior ranks – the Volley Blacks.

“It’s a pretty big jump

from the kids volleyball to the big league,” says the post position player who’s building quite a reputation for his spiking power at the net.

“I am a bit lanky. They call me stretch.”

He’s had two growth spurts and is expecting a third.

After the South Island trials, Jobe was named in the 37-strong Volley Blacks squad.

That’s a lot of contenders so the next goal is surviving the cut to 20 and then the final 12 ahead of next

year’s Asian Volleyball Championships.

There will be plenty of training camps and some inter squad games before then.

But Jobe’s ongoing availability might be a push as he’s just confirmed a move to Canada’s Brandon University next year where he hopes to make its Bobcats volleyball team.

“Brandon is in Manitoba which is basically in the middle of nowhere,” Jobe laughs.

He has big shoes to follow as two other Waimea Col-

lege products, Roy Ching and Ben Glue were Bobcats who went on to international volleyball playing careers.

On his return home, Roy coached a young Jobe McAuley who plans to study physical education when he’s not imposing himself on the court.

The only frustration for the Volley Black is having to wait for almost a year to take up his scholarship.

“I will have to earn some money before then,” the part-time supermarket worker quips.

We’re the country’s most active region ANDREW BOARD The top of the South Island is the country’s most active region, according to the results of a national survey released this month.

The Active NZ Survey showed that the top of the South Island – which includes Nelson, Tasman, Marlborough, Buller and Kaikōura – leads the way in both the ‘adult’ and ‘young people’ categories with 94 per cent of young people and 79 per cent of adults participating in physical activity each week.

The Active NZ Survey is run by Sport New Zealand and showed that the Sport Tasman region is ranked top nationally for both the percentage of population participating in physical activity each day and the average number of hours of physical activity per person per day.

Sport Tasman chief executive Ed Shuttleworth says it is a collective effort which helps drive the region’s high rates of participation.

“We have a really committed group of sporting organisations, we’re really fortunate that we have great leadership in sport in this region. We have really talented leadership and it’s

Sport Tasman chief executive Ed Shuttleworth says the stats show a collective effort. Photo: Andrew Board. brilliant to see them all working together,” he says.

He says the region’s success is driven by a coordinated by a range of groups including iwi, council, schools, sports, active recreation groups, health providers, facility providers, disability organisations, sponsors and funders.

“Our wonderful region flourishes on the back of thousands of volunteers who give up their time each week to ensure these

opportunities exist. Thank you to each and every volunteer and organisation.”

While Ed says the news is pleasing, there is still work to be done.

“Whilst celebrating this remarkable achievement it is important we continue to place our focus on two key facts.

Firstly, 38 per cent of young people and 61 per cent of adults from our region are not meeting physical activity guidelines.

“Secondly, significant inequity exists across the region. We know not all people have the same opportunities to be physically active. The data clearly shows that rangatahi and tamariki from socio-economically-disadvantaged areas, girls and young women, Māori, and those individuals with a disability have less access to physical activity opportunities that meet their needs and have lower levels of participation.”

Ed says addressing access to physical activity is a key goal for the organisation.

“We know physical activity has physical, mental health and wellbeing benefits as well as promoting healthier, happier and more connected communities.

“Therefore, our collective efforts must continue to focus on removing the barriers to physical activity, so no person in our community misses out.”

Knee issues cut short Giant’s career STEPHEN STUART Ongoing knee problems have prompted Nelson Giants basketball veteran Tom Ingham to call time on an NBL career stretching 14 years.

The former Waimea College student debuted for the Giants in 2010 when he was just 16.

Former Giants teammate turned coach, Michael Fitchett, remembers him well.

“Ingy was confident and fitted in straight away. He was never backward in coming forward,” Michael says.

Coming from a sporting household probably helped as Tom’s father was Central Districts and Nelson cricketer Craig Ingham.

But it was the bigger ball sport that Tom excelled in as a shooting guard.

After two seasons he headed to Otago University to study Physical Education but then switched to seek primary teaching qualifications.

His game time for the Otago Nuggets was limited by a dislocated elbow, and then the team went bust.

So it was back to Nelson in 2016 where Tom has been ever since, amassing 140 games over 11 sea-

sons for the Giants.

His personal career highlight was beating the Hawke’s Bay Hawks in the opening game of the 2017 season.

“I was only told the night before that I was playing and I went out and scored 21 points and grabbed nine rebounds. I didn’t realise I was that close to a double double,” Tom says.

He also fondly recalls the 2020 Showdown series, staged over six weeks in Auckland during the pandemic.

“It felt like my coming out party,” he says.

While never winning an NBL title, he reckons the Giants should have in 2018.

“We beat the Southland Sharks in Invercargill by about 20 points but then a week later we lost the semi-final to them by one point,” Tom recalls.

“It was just one of those nights and then the Sharks went on to win the final.”

While he had ankle injuries over the years, it was a freak accident in the 2022 pre-season that threatened to end his career.

“A player stood on my foot and I turned 360 degrees,” the 1.91m player says.

It resulted in an unwanted triple

– damaging his ACL, MCL and meniscus – and missing the entire year.

“I never considered giving the game away.”

Ignoring advice to drop to club

level, Tom returned to play every match for his beloved Giants in the past two seasons.

Despite wearing a knee brace, he knew he was on borrowed time.

“The knee injury began to re-

ally flare up again in games 14 through 19 and my production fell away”, the 31 year old says.

Coach Fitchett declares he was an awesome player to coach, a mentor to the youngsters coming through and set the standard in off-season training.

In his farewell Instagram post, Tom paid tribute to the Giants’ fans and his teammates over the years.

“Playing was a big part my identity but I was prepared to move on,” Tom insists.

As for other players he encountered who stood out.

Steven Adams lit up the U17 ranks while more recently the Giants’ American import Avery Woodson was something else too.

Mike Fitchett hopes his former charge moves into coaching.

“I did coach the Waimea College “A” basketball side to finish fourth at the South Island Secondary Schools Champs which was our best result since I played for them in 2009,” Tom remembers.

The Nelson Intermediate School teacher and team leader has other lofty goals.

He hopes to become a school principal which wouldn’t leave the commitment needed for basketball as well.

Nerf wars at Murchison celebrates dads ELOISE MARTYN Three thousand foam bullets flew at the Murchison Sports Recreation and Cultural Centre on Sunday, 8 September, where about 50 individuals gathered for a belated Father’s Day celebration with a family-friendly Nerf wars battle.

“It was a lovely turnout and a nice representation of the different valleys,” Murchison Sports Recreation and Cultural Centre’s Michelle Pugh says. This marked the second year of Nerf Wars, aimed at encouraging families to engage in family-inclusive activities together to celebrate Father’s Day. “A Nerf gun is a toy gun that fires foam bullets that most families have lying around the house, we decided to use them to create an event that would attract the dads but would be more family-friendly and inclusive

The event featured various games like capture the flag and last group standing, hosted indoors at the recreation centre to ensure it could proceed regardless of the weather.

“Murray Leaning and Mitre

10 Helping Hands supported us with a free sausage sizzle, it was great of them to give up their weekend and join us on our day,” Michelle noted. The event also highlighted men’s health, promoting awareness and support for Blue September.

The success of this and last year’s events has inspired the Murchison rec team to make it an annual tradition.

“It’s nice to see families coming together to enjoy a day of fun. It was well received, and we will be hosting it annually,” Michelle affirmed.

Tasman win against feisty Waikato side Tasman found yet another way to win a rugby game in Hamilton over the weekend.

The Mako took 82 minutes to get the better of a feisty Waikato side, prevailing 27-25 thanks to a last min-

ute 40m penalty goal from fullback/first five William Havili.

The mercurial Tongan international had missed a drop kick just minutes earlier but was given another chance to

maintain his side’s unbeaten start to the NPC and he made no mistake, albeit suffering from cramp.

With Tasman making a raft of changes for this encounter, no doubt thinking ahead

to their storm week and the ensuing Ranfurly Shield defences but showed they have enough depth to compete every weekend in what is turning into a remarkable season for the men.

Mini Buses for Hire

Like the Hospice Drs told Mum, Dad also took the scenic route, meaning they both did it in their own time & hung on for way longer than anyone would have thought. A truly courageous couple that uprooted their lives in the UK 50yrs ago to give their children a better life in NZ. You started here with nothing & left this earth achieving so much.

She is greatly missed and was loved by all.

The successful applicant must contribute to the Catholic Special Character of Garin College.

FOR HIRE

After just short of 55 years of marriage together & 10 years & 11 days apart Peter finally went to be with the love of his life Jacqui.

She was the sort of person who would do anything for her family.

The International Director will manage a team including an Administrator, Homestay Coordinator, and Teacher Aide, fostering a positive and inclusive school culture that celebrates diversity. The International Director will play a critical role in integrating international students into our Garin College community, aligned with the College vision for excellence in Catholic Education.
