Final mile for Appleby

Personal bests flow for young swimmers JACK MALCOLM Three members of the Waimea Swim Team have notched up a combined 23 personal bests from a single swim meet.

Holly Edwards, Tayla Olaman

and Teram Manze brought up the impressive feat at the Makos Junior Festival for 12-and-under swimmers earlier this month in Timaru.

And it’s the perfect time to be at their peak performance, at the

biggest events on their calendar for the year, just as their season starts to ramp up.

For 10-year-old Holly Edwards from Wakefield, despite missing out on earning a personal best (PB) from her speciality event,

the individual medley, it was still five personal bests from six races.

“We just wanted to get PBs,” she says.

Having swum competitively for 18 months, the young swimmer impressed over a number of

events from backstroke to freestyle.

Waimea Intermediate’s Tayla Olaman notched up a perfect eight personal bests from her eight

Berry farm ends desperate search for work ANNE HARDIE People with special needs can struggle to find a job, but 23-year-old Tyler Watson is now part of the team at Fairfield Berries near Wakefield and loving it.

It has been a long time coming for Tyler who has been desperate to be working like others in the community and doing something useful.

The eldest in a family of nine children has Prader-Willi Syndrome which is a rare genetic disorder resulting in a number of physical, mental and behavioural problems.

His mother Jacqui says she had been looking a job for Tyler since he left school, but few employers were willing to take him on and she acknowledges the employment laws do not make it easy for them to navigate. Employers have to consider health and safety, plus employment needs to be flexible. Some days Tyler does not want to go to work and some days he takes time Tyler Watson and his boss Patrick Cotter have a good working relationship. Photo: Anne Hardie.

Young swimmers peak at perfect time FROM PAGE 1 events, having also swam competitively for 18 months.

For Teram, who started swimming competitively just six months ago, the result was the icing on the cake for the hard work he’s put in.

At 12 years old, he travels into town from Motueka to train multiple times a week after starting his swimming journey at the Motueka Swim Club.

He says, the move was due to the higher standards at the Waimea Swim Club, which has seemed to have paid dividends with his recent results, as he knocked 14.6 seconds off one of his previous bests.

Tayla’s fastest time took 9.85 seconds off her previous personal best, while Holly managed to shave 2.5 seconds of her last personal best.

Racing in 11 races, Teram, a Motue-

ka South student, picked up 10 personal best results across the event, the most of any of his club mates.

Coach Vicky Edwards was impressed with how each of the swimmers rose to the occasion.

“This is the big one. . . the pinnacle event of the year.”

Vicky says, the results were a just reward for all the hard work they’ve done with their training.

As part of fundraising for the event, Holly and Tayla held a swim-a-thon alongside the more traditional quiz nights, sausage sizzles and raffles.

The pair swam non-stop for an hour, encouraging their supporters to donate $1 per lap or a set amount for the challenge.

Notching up 134 laps each, the pair made a considerable dent in their expenses. Vicky says it was amazing to see the generosity from the local community.

Carwash a four-year challenge to build ANNE HARDIE Four years ago Dominick Unterberger began clearing the site for his Richmond carwash business and thought he would have it up and running within two years.

But it took four years to complete, cost nearly $400,000 above budget, and he says it should not be so hard for people to build a new business.

He built his first carwash business in Nelson in just eight months, completing it in 2014 when he was still in his 20s.

Then he bought a site on Lower Queen St in Richmond and proceeded to subdivide the site and get consent for the carwash at the front.

By the end of 2017 he had cleared out the hedge and stripped the site in preparation for the project, even before houses began to sprout on the Berryfields subdivision opposite.

Two years later he was overseeing the construction of the pad for the carwash and it looked like things were progressing well.

But, since then, it has been a long road.

He says there were hold-ups outside of his control and “the goal posts changed” from stormwater to resource consenting.

Each time a change occurred, it meant completely redesigning the carwash stormwater plan and

Dominick Unterberger finally has his Richmond carwash up and running. Photo: Anne Hardie. he says it all costs money.

“Every time you change something like stormwater, it has to be redesigned, re-engineered and approved.”

When he stripped topsoil from the site onto his section to the rear, that is part of the larger site he subdivided into separate lots, he had to get a consultant to prepare a 95-page environmental impact report.

Though he says a report is somewhat justified, it should not be as expensive and difficult to do it.

Dominick acknowledges he could

have done some things differently and that has been part of his own learning experience.

Towards the end of the project, he began using consultants to deal with the council who knew the lingo and had ongoing working relationships with staff.

That also comes with a cost though and he says it all makes business development more expensive and uses funding that would be better spent generating more business.

Tyler loving his job at Fairfield Berries FROM PAGE 1 out on the berry garden to sit in the hayshed.

On the berry garden, he is a volunteer much of the week and gets paid for one day and Jacqui says it is thanks to his employers Patrick and Elise Cotter being willing to be flexible and relaxed about how and when he works.

It is the couple’s second berry season on the 10ha property where they grow boysenberries, raspberries and strawberries, with a shop that sells fruit ice creams and local gifts.

Jacqui says Tyler is loving his work, having a boss and earning his own money.

He began just helping out on the berry garden last year because his sisters were working there.

He proved to be a diligent worker and the job has just grown from there.

“He was weeding a circle around the plants and went through a whole 3ha block,” Patrick says. “He would go four to six hours weeding.”

Jacqui says that is very typical of many people with special needs who are very goal focused when given a task.

It morphed into lawn mowing and other jobs around the berry garden and now he goes most days of the week and Jaqui says it has been a life saver for both Tyler and herself.

“Having a special needs person at home can be quite a pressurised thing. I would be medicated up to the eyeballs if he was still at home all the time. So, it’s just as important for me to have somewhere for him to go.

“And he is just loving having a purpose.”

In his last year of school, Jacqui says Tyler became increasingly anxious because he had nothing to look forward to when he finished and his behaviour deteriorated.

She says many people with special needs will go to a day programme, but that does not suit them all, and it is a lot of driving for parents to deliver them and pick them up.

“For us, having somewhere for

Tyler to go and feel important and productive, and keep him physically fit is priceless for us.

If he was at home, it would be one battle after another.”

At Fairfield Berries, Patrick says Tyler does many of the jobs that would not otherwise get done and while sometimes he works at pace, he also has time out and that is fine.

“Sometimes he will be just staring into space, but it doesn’t matter here.”

Jacqui would like to see more employers consider people with special needs on their team, even if it is just a few hours a week.

She knows of a young woman with special needs further south who goes to an agedcare rest home each day to deliver morning and afternoon tea to residents.

“It makes them feel part of the community and doing something worthwhile. Even a couple of hours a week can give someone that sense of ‘wow’.

They love to feel part of something and if there is a little bit of pay they are tickled pink.”

“I just want to build businesses.

“Having unnecessary road blocks get in the way has been frustrating.

“It’s not a blame game, but the increasing costs from regulation that are outside our control

is horrendous and discourages growth.

“Every time an extra cost is imposed on us, it’s not like we can impose that cost on to the public all the time.”

He says increasing regulation is often just about ticking boxes and discourages the ability to find practical solutions, when there should be an element of common sense.

“It wasn’t like I was trying to reinvent the wheel. This (carwash) is not complex. It’s quite simple.”

Now that the carwash is complete and in operation, his next project is to develop self-storage units on the site behind and he has two further design and build sections.

Dominick is also working with his business partner Jared Guthrie to develop a site beside the Sprig and Fern in Māpua into two shops with apartments two levels above them.

It is currently in the final design process.

He is also looking at potential sites in Motueka to build another car wash facility.

Revving up the Christmas cheer GORDON PREECE The annual Retirement Village Christmas Cruise driven by Cambusters Nelson was in full throttle on Sunday, revving up season’s greetings at retirement villages in Richmond and Stoke. Committee member, Jim Armstrong says, the event, which

has circuited for about five years, is about giving back to retirement home residents with Christmas-decorated vintage vehicles. “They absolutely love it, they come out and have a look at the cars, and talk about the cars that they used to learn to drive, it’s absolutely great,” he says. “It gives us as much joy as it does for them.”

Olympic medallist and former New York City Marathon winner Rod Dixon joined Appleby School students last week for their final lap as they completed their own staggered marathon.

His charity KiDSMARATHON has seen about 1.5 million primary school-aged children complete their own marathon over a school term both in the United States and New Zealand with the goal of inspiring the next generation to participate in sport.

Rod won the iconic race 40 years ago, overtaking the lead runner just several hundred metres from the finish line in the 42.2km race. It was 11 years after he won a bronze medal in the 1,500m at the

Munich Olympics. He remembers being inspired by Sir Edmund Hillary speaking at his primary school and now he is doing his part to help inspire young people.

“At marathons, they often ask, ‘when did you start running?’

And they all say they started at school. We know the journey starts there; just getting the kids moving. It’s not about winning.

“It’s like the hare and the tortoise,” he told students. “You want to be the tortoise. Go out slow and steady and you will get across the finish line.”

Getting school children enthused will help keep them active through life, he says, which is the long-term aim. Every child that completes their marathon receives a medal to recognise their achievement

and more schools and students are taking part.

“It’s like a snowball and it’s gathering momentum.”

Along with local former Olympic medal winner Lorraine Moller, he helped coach a local team of four runners who competed in this year’s New York City Marathon to raise funds and awareness for the charity including Nelson Mayor Nick Smith who was at Appleby School to run the last lap as well.

Nick says the satisfaction of finishing the race among 50,000 other competitors and receiving a finishers’ medal was huge and that was the why every child that finished their marathon received a medal.

“To me, it’s more important that these students are finishing than winning.”

Appeal month colouring comp takes off The colouring skills of four primary school students has earned them the opportunity to get up close with the subject of their drawings – the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter.

With over 200 entries in the NBS Rescue Helicopter Appeal month colouring competition, seven winners were welcomed onto the rescue base near Nelson Airport last week.

Dovedale School’s Zoe Scorrar was one of those

students and took the opportunity to take a look inside the chopper.

The winners had the opportunity to visit the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter hangar in Nelson to meet the crew, ask questions such as “why are there so many buttons [in the cockpit]?” and for some – even sit inside the helicopter. Each winner received a $50 Prezzy Card for their efforts.

The colouring competition was distributed as part

of the NBS Rescue Helicopter Appeal month to schools throughout the regions the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter Trust operates in – from the Marlborough Sounds to Westport. Children around the Nelson Tasman region also had the opportunity to enter with a special feature wrap on The Nelson Weekly during October.

NBS’s community engagement manager and established artist, Nic Foster,

judged the entries.

“We were so impressed with the range and quality of the entries. Picking just a small selection of winners was such a difficult decision, but we considered the age of the entrant, creativity and imagination, use of mediums and the attention to detail.

Well done to all who entered.”

More than $90,000 was raised during the Appeal Month.

Final phase for William Street work

Improvement work in the William St neighbourhood is now moving into the final phase with completion anticipated in the new year.

The shared path extension is now complete between Hill St and Gilbert St, and crews are working on the next stages towards Salisbury Rd. At the intersections of Gilbert St and Hill St, asphalt-raised pedestrian crossings are being constructed, along with several drainage improvements, kerb build-outs, and replacement of footpaths. Both the shared path extension and intersection safety improvements will begin on 4 December and will take about three weeks to complete.

During the Christmas shutdown from 23 December until 7 January, there will be two-way traffic across the entire project area, however, sections of the footpath may remain closed.

Chorus cabinets get a facelift

The streets of Tasman are about to get a whole lot brighter as local artists paint their creative designs on the next round of Chorus cabinets.

The artists have now been selected to paint five cabinets in Richmond, Wakefield, Motueka, Mārahau, and Tākaka. This year’s art features a design inspired by Aotearoa’s wide range of native flora and fauna, sandy beach delights, a colourful range of summer fruits, stingrays swimming off the coast of Tasman.

Historic Travellers Rest in new hands ANNE HARDIE At 172 years old, Travellers Rest in Appleby has new owners who want to celebrate its history and fill it with guests.

Robyn and Richard Kereru bought the historic two-storey tavern beside the highway a week after it caught their eye as they drove past it.

The couple had spent the past three-and-a-half years touring New Zealand in a rather large fifth-wheeler RV after the pandemic ended their plans to travel overseas and retire in the Philippines.

Winters were spent in Tasman where they took up the same jobs each year, but they were not planning to settle until they spied Travellers Rest.

Richard had spent 25 years in the hotel business and old hotels always piqued their interest.

“We saw the ‘for sale’ sign and it looked like a hotel and we love hotels, so we were curious,” Robyn says. “We were sort of in awe. It is just stunning; beautiful. The next day we put an offer on it.”

“And I said, you’re fast alright, girlfriend,” Richard adds.

Much of the interior is the original wooden hotel and the bars from its days as a hotel are still intact, albeit without the alcohol.

Even the last blackboard menu

Robyn and Richard Kereru travelled the country and stopped at Travellers Rest, which they now own.

Photo: Anne Hardie. from 15 years ago remains on the wall.

In its early days, the hotel had stabling, carriage hire and accommodation for travellers heading to and from Nelson.

It became a popular venue for social gatherings, meeting and even coroner’s inquests.

Its days as a hotel ended 15 years ago and it remained empty for several years until its recent

owners took it over, renovated it and ran it as accommodation.

When they decided it was time to sell, Robyn says they declined offers that would spell the end of the hotel until they found purchasers who would take it into the future.

Now it is Robyn and Richard’s turn at the helm and they plan to use the bottom level as accommodation for groups of up

to 12 people.

Fortunately, Richard is a handyman who relishes the prospect of tending their elderly hotel and he likes “big old grunty wood”.

Much of the wooden beams, floors and even stained-glass windows date back to when the hotel was built in 1851.

Now Robyn and Richard want to collect as much of its history as they can to keep its story alive.

“Working from locations in both Nelson and Richmond, we survived several recessions, the advent of international on-line shopping and many trends which have influenced buying patterns over the years. Impressions’ survival as a strong and resilient business is due largely to our determination to respond to the changing demands of the market, to sell quality

Glenys retired at the end of 2022, leaving Lewis and staff members Penny Lennard, Charlotte Lipp, Michelle Woollaston and Glenis Ambrose to continue to provide Impressions Picture Framing and Art Supplies services.

Beyond its role as a thriving business, Impressions is a vital contributor to the local art community. They actively sponsor art groups and classes, provide prizes for NMIT Bachelor of Art graduates, support the Bay Art Awards, PANZ Awards and are nota-

bly involved in the Tasman National Art Awards. Lewis emphasises, “We recognise the value of these groups and events to the vibrancy of our communities and enjoy our involvement with them immensely.”

Literally thousands benefit from discounting offered through the Impressions Art Club loyalty programme.

Their small equipped studio is regularly hired by artists, tutors and community groups for meetings, classes and other creative endeavours.

Wakefield School ready for intermediate students ELOISE MARTYN Wakefield School is ready for its transition into a full primary school with around 23 Year 7 students enrolled to start the year in 2024.

The transition, known as a recapitation, will begin with a Year 7 programme in Term 1, 2024 before extending to welcome Year 8 pupils in 2025.

“We currently have 258 students and are expecting to grow to 275 in 2024,” principal Freya Hogarth says. “Around 2025 we estimate to have a roll over 300.”

The school has been busy upgrading its learning spaces, purchasing furniture, and designing an optional hoodie for intermediate-aged students.

“Rather than bus kids to facilities we have upgraded our learning spaces so that we can offer a comprehensive technology programme that can be used daily, and not be restricted by time.

“We can then integrate that technology into the wider learning,” Freya says.

The technology programme will be delivered by teachers who

“We saw, when we were looking into what makes a great technology programme, and how we could do that on-site ourselves, that great programmes can be delivered by trained pri-

mary school teachers by growing the expertise of these teachers,” Freya explains.

The school has the capacity for three full classrooms of Year 7 and 8 students however, Freya says that they have chosen to focus initially on establishing a

solid, beneficial programme as opposed to expansion.

“Some of the changes we are making won’t just benefit the Year 7 and 8 students. With the resources we now have we can grow the skills of children in other year levels which is really exciting,” Freya says.

“The programme we have planned and the opportunities we have to offer are just really exciting. We are involved in all sorts of things like leadership programmes, community volunteering positions, outdoor ed programs, and a lot of opportunities for learning that follow students’ individual interests.”

Irvine’s final front line ram sale ELOISE MARTYN After more than 30 years, hosts of the Front Line Ram Sale are preparing for their final studs to go up for auction.

Brightwater’s well-known stud sheep farmers, Malcolm and Donna Irvine, will host their 31st and final sale on 8 December.

The Irvines have been sheep farming in Brightwater for 63 years, but say it’s now time to close the gate on their farming life. Forty of those years have been in the Wairoa Gorge, and 23 at their current Clover Rd farm.

Through that time the couple have built a reputation as high-quality sheep breeders.

“When we started breeding rams it was mainly Romney with a few Blackface,” Malcolm says. “Now it’s nearly all Blackface with a few Romneys, the demand has changed.”

The Front Line Ram Sale started 31 years ago when four sheep breeders came together to sell their rams.

Brightwater stud sheep farmer Malcolm Irvine is getting ready to host his 31st and final Front Line Ram sale.

They had been put through a vigorous selection process before ultimately being put up for sale.

The sale was initially held in a woolshed in Eighty Eight Valley, Wakefield.

Over the years, the other breeders involved in the sale slowly ceased breeding rams. So, from around 2009 the Irvines went solo and started hosting their own Front

Line Ram Sale at their Clover Rd farm, which is where the sale has been hosted for the past 13 years.

A lot has changed since the first sale, and more recently the increased cost of irrigated water has impacted Malcolm’s sheep farming operation.

“The driving factor to call an end to it now is the cost of irrigated water, which has been driven

up by the cost of building the Waimea Community Dam,” Malcolm says.

“I was in favour of the dam, if the dam didn’t go ahead more restrictions on irrigating would have seen local market gardeners and growers leave the district,” he says. “However, the cost of the dam increasing significantly since it was initially planned has

made my sheep operation uneconomic.”

With the increased irrigating costs, coupled with price rises across the board, Malcolm says that the land needs higher-value crops on it to remain a viable business.

It’s not all doom and gloom, as the farm is soon to be leased which means Malcolm and Donna can continue to live on the property and enjoy looking out over the paddocks that they have tended for decades.

In typical Kiwi farmer fashion, Malcolm explains that he has been able to lease the farm in such a way that he will still be able to enjoy running a small flock of stud sheep while working towards full retirement.

“I’m relieved to have the farm leased and excited at the fact that I can still run a small-scale stud breeding operation while I wean myself off the stud farm completely,” he laughs.

The final sale is on 8 December, at 1.30pm at 80 Clover Rd East.

Richmond School students Blake Canning and Sophia Colville were just two of the many students recognised for their fundraising efforts by the Cancer Society. Photo: Eloise Martyn.

Richmond students leading the way ELOISE MARTYN Richmond School students have managed to raise more than $2000 for the Nelson Tasman Cancer Society after its student council facilitated a jam-packed Daffodil Day event.

Year 6 pupil Sophia Colville, who was elected as the student council president this year, and Blake Canning, Year 5, are just two of the 24 students involved in the school’s student council.

The council take the lead on fun days and fundraisers held at school. They also conduct surveys, making sure student’s voices are heard, and even communicate with the Tasman District Council regarding road safety, car parking, and road closures.

In recognition of the considerable amount raised at the event, Victoria Sharp from the Cancer Society presented them with a certificate of recognition and a Kōwhai tree to remember the yellow fundraiser.

“Together we raised $2080 which is a lot,” Blake says, beaming with

pride.

To raise money, they had a range of Cancer Society items available to purchase for a donation, a cupcake sale, face painting, a gold coin trail that formed a daffodil picture, a lunchtime disco, and a colouring competition. Counting of the money raised is a task undertaken by the student council, which utilises mathematical skills as well as offers students the opportunity to deal with actual cash.

Sophia, who successfully ran for the student council’s president seat earlier this year against five other students, says that the best thing about council for her is speaking in front of the whole school - 530 students, and learning to make hard decisions such as picking the final winner of the colouring competition - which are all valuable life skills.

“It’s my last year here so I want to try and do as much as I can,” she says.

Blake says that he enjoys being a leader and helping others, which is why he has been part of the student council for three years.

The Network Tasman Trust grant will assist local organisations like Project Jonah New Zealand to help make a positive impact on the wider community. Photo: Project Jonah NZ.

Network Tasman Trust 2023 grant recipients announced Network Tasman Trust has given out more than $200k to local organisations to help build better communities.

The trust saw a record number of applications in 2023 but has managed to grant a total of $212,678.86.

Trust chairperson Gwenny Davis says the trust is delighted with the positive response. Funding generally falls into five main categories: art and culture, education, environmental and energy-saving, social support services, and sport and recreation.

A range of organisations applied

across all sectors with successful recipients including Project Jonah New Zealand, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Helping Families Nelson and The Waimarama Community Gardens.

Project Jonah received a $2000 grant to help deliver inspirational and empowering training to young and passionate teenagers from across the Nelson Tasman region.

General manager for the organisation, Daren Grover, says Project Jonah was thrilled to receive a grant from the Network Tasman Trust.

“Early next year we will be inviting 15 Year 12 students in the region, through their schools, to attend our marine mammal medic course.”

He says the course is just for those in the Top of the South and is only possible thanks to the support of the trust.

Big Brothers Big Sisters, now in its 25th year of operation, will use their $3000 grant to continue making a positive impact in the local community. Programme director Tracee Neilson says they are now the largest mentoring programme in New Zealand

but have many children on their waiting list.

“The grant will assist us with the recruitment, training, supervision and ongoing support of our volunteer mentors, young people and their whānau. We are really grateful for Network Tasman Trust’s generosity in a time when costs are increasing and many of the families we work with have increasing pressures.”

Founder of Helping Families Nelson, Kristy Rowe, says their $3000 grant will enable the community pantry to continue running.

“Things are getting increasingly harder for everyone, and more and more people are struggling to feed their families. Our pantry enables whānau to help themselves to a few items to hopefully ease some of that burden and stress. Sometimes it might be the only food they have to eat that day.”

With a record 142 applications as opposed to the usual 80-90, Gwenny says that this is the first year that online applications were available.

“We think that made it easier and more accessible for people.”

Opinion Railway Reserve closure

The Railway Reserve in Stoke (between Saxton Rd and Orphanage Creek) is currently closed due to works. However, the dangerous detours and lack of signage looks like it was designed by someone who hasn’t even looked at the walkways and cycleways and roads. There is absolutely no signage advising of no right turn when you travel from Saxton Field, under the underpass at Orphanage Stream and along the reserve. The first you know of no right turn is when you get to the fences blocking off the reserve. So, turn around, and follow all the others through Bunnings’ carpark. This is ridiculous. A simple sign saying no right turn ahead would work. Then having safety people in hivis vests at Saxton/Railway Reserve and Saxton/Main Road, sitting during business hours watching. But, no one is there in the weekend or outside business hours or at peak traffic at 5.30pm. And directing cyclists onto the narrow

footpath isn’t any good when people are pushing prams etc. I, like most cyclists, have just been using the road. This whole detour looks like it has been designed on paper, without any knowledge of how the area is used. And then, the cycleway further south of Saxton Field is also detoured - so it’s not ideal timing.

Consenting clause causing headache It was interesting reading the article about the consent situation in Māpua. How can someone be allowed to raise their land and change drains without consent? There’s one thing I need to say, though.

I grazed my horse on that land for about five years and the people on the corner have definitely raised their land a lot and filled in drains with all that clay. There were drains running all through that piece of land.

Lisa S

It’s sad to see developers squeeze the locals out around Māpua. Everyone wants a rural outlook, but rural landowners can’t make their land work if the land next to them is built up until it floods them.

More water sitting over winter drowns fruit trees and makes animals unhealthy. It makes the ground acidic too, so weeds grow instead of grass.

A townie developer saying he’s helped his neighbour and made it drier is just illogical when everyone else, even TDC, are saying it’s wetter.

Proudly brought to you by...

Rising from the ashes ROBYN PARKES The Nelson Agricultural & Pastoral Association showgrounds were a popular place for all types of events and one of the amenities was a public grandstand.

Sadly, one Saturday in March 1917, the existing grandstand was destroyed by fire. It was an interesting building with two tiers of seats, one of which was placed on top of the slanted roof with little protection for people. The alarm was sounded at 1.45am but the fire had taken hold and the Fire Brigade could not save the building. They were, however, able to save the administrative buildings and totalisator house, which were in danger of catching fire from the intense heat.

The grandstand had been built

by Andrew Brown for the Nelson Jockey Club in 1887.

Some years later the club got into financial difficulties, and lost control of the park, which was then purchased by the Nelson A and P Association and the Jockey Club then became a tenant.

By the end of March, conversations took place concerning a replacement grandstand with an estimated cost of up to £3000. As the association was already paying interest on a current debenture, they needed more revenue and were unable to face increased interest charges.

Up to this point, the Jockey Club had been paying £50 per annum in rent, which the A & P Association felt was not enough, and they indicated that the club needed to pay a considerably higher rent, or the association would have to forego the idea of a grandstand or look at selling some of the property to generate funds. If the latter course was taken, the

The association emphasised they had no wish to do this, but the position had to be faced, and the racing and trotting clubs would have to assist much more liberally than in the past.

A meeting was called for the purpose of considering the matter where it was agreed that the grandstand must be rebuilt as attendance at future A & P shows could be seriously diminished with nowhere to sit.

A revision of the rentals charged to the sporting clubs was investigated and negotiations took place between the three bodies. The association’s assessment of the amount the two sporting clubs should pay annually was in the aggregate of £250. Counter offers went backwards and forwards with the two racing clubs making a final offer of £200 per annum and agreeing to keep the racecourse in order and to maintain the racing rail fence. The offer was accepted.

Plans for the new grandstand were designed by architect, Mr W Houlker. Mr J. A. Stringer’s tender for erecting the building was accepted at £3287. By November 1918, it was almost ready for use. The replacement building was a brick and concrete structure and accommodated up to one thousand people. The floor pitch was easy, rising about 12ft from the lowest tier of seats to the back with ample room between the seats for people to pass each other and a great view of the course was achieved.

The accommodation for spectators started from the ground level with wide stairways from the front. Under the seating accommodation were entrances from the respective ends of the building, a public luncheon-room, officials’ luncheon-room, kitchen, bar, and ladies’ cloakroom.

All agreed it was a great improvement on the old building.

The opening in November to coincide with the 1918 show had to be abandoned after the grandstand was required for use as the influenza emergency hospital.

Property

Before you plant anything near power lines, consider how big it will grow.

We send ‘cut and trim’ (CT) notices to property owners where we find any trees growing too close to our power lines. We are required to do this by law under the Electricity (Hazard from Trees) Regulations. If you receive a CT notice you can choose to have the trees trimmed or felled. The Regulations state that each tree is entitled to one free trim.

We keep a database of each surveyed site so if you are eligible for a free trim, our tree contractor will cut the tree back to a safe distance from the lines. You are then responsible for keeping the tree trimmed in the future so that it doesn’t grow too close again. Trees notified to you in a CT notice must only be cut by a network certified arborist. They have specific training and the necessary insulated tools to safely cut trees close to power lines.

Our vegetation surveyors also look for trees that are a high risk to the power lines – these include trees that are diseased, or have damaged trunks/broken branches that could fall onto the power lines. Owners of these trees will be contacted by our surveyors to discuss their options.

Surveying our power lines and working with tree owners in this way has dramatically reduced the number of power outages caused by trees. We appreciate the effort that tree owners are making to keep their trees clear of the power lines, your neighbours will too!

If you have any questions please contact our vegetation team on 0800 508 098 or email trees@networktasman.co.nz

Early skin cancer detection has never been more important Welcoming patients to a purposebuilt community focused clinic in the heart of Māpua, KIWISKIN offers a quiet and safe space to have your skin checked.

Established by a collaboration of like-minded, qualified and caring clinicians in November 2021, the KIWISKIN - Māpua Skin Clinic utilises the latest techniques, equipment and training in order to check moles or lesions on the body. Using top-of-the-line equipment the experienced clinical team have the ability to surgically remove any spots they feel require biopsy and testing and ensure their clients receive only the best of care. Doctor Tim Phillip's says, “We have worked together as a team to build the foundations of a Skin Clinic where we can provide the skin cancer health care that is required in response to the growing tide of skin cancer risks.

We have strict audit processing and follow the best safety protocols to coordinate sound record keeping, treatment, and service.

It has been a big journey since 2021, and we are evolving and developing a new culture here that includes providing the best care that everyone deserves.”

Providing full body mole mapping and the ability to track the progress of any lesion using IT, senior doctors within the prac-

tice will treat most skin conditions, from eyelid cyst removal to ingrown toenails. “We offer a Free Spot Check for the community to ensure that anyone with a concern has the option to be seen and provided with advice on treatment that may be required. If surgery is necessary, then this can

be performed on site or referred on to the individual’s GP.” Around 13 people in New Zealand are diagnosed with either melanoma in-situ or invasive melanoma every day. Melanoma is the fourth most common cancer diagnosed in this country. “As experts at spotting skin cancers

when they are early and subtle, we encourage people to get in contact with the team about any concerns they may have as soon as possible”, says Tim. “Melanoma is the main concern. The New Zealand Sun is incredibly dangerous and can cause serious harm, Melanoma accounts for nearly 80% of all skin cancer deaths in New Zealand. The majority of the Melanoma that we remove are caught early but any spots, particularly on the face if not found fast enough, can develop and lead to much more serious circumstances.”

Promoting the importance of sun safety, the team at KIWISKIN - Māpua Skin Clinic have been working alongside Hunting and Fishing to introduce UV protectant clothing to offer extra cover.

“We are a general practice skin clinic with no government funding. We are subsiding skin care in the community because the community’s wellbeing is our biggest concern.”

Club Waimea's Rugby World Rugby Cup Prizegiving Gary Brown (Brownie) The prizegiving was held in the Richmond Room on 26 November. There was a great turn-out with plenty of fun, laughter and banter. The competition, which was held over 13 weeks, a week longer than usual because of the World Rugby Cup running till the end of October.

There were 35 competitors all trying to score the most points for the weekend’s games with the closest win and margin all trying their best to be the winner and be top of the table and have the bragging rights for 2023.

We started with Lucky Envelop that went to John Llewellen, Free Entry for Bunnings NPC next year (2024) was Lewis Della Bosca. Next up was the stirrer and friendly trophy that was won by the Trower family. It was great to see Kelvin Trower attending the prizegiving.

Brownie’s Max Points Trophy was won by Robin Wat-

son with 28 points.

Then next came the nine weeks winners all getting rewarded for winning their week.

Following on after a wee break, we went into the main winners and grinners of the Bunnings NPC competition, Top Women was Jenny Heywood (being consistent) on 460 points. Great effort by her as with one round to go she was second, 13 points behind the leader and won the Women’s by just 1 point, great effort. Chrissy Tait was second with 459 points, also a great effort by her.

Next up was the Pink Spoon and Mug. This was for the last points on the ladder.

With 398 points was Kevin McKenzie who gave it his best but, unfortunately, just couldn't handle the pace of others.

Now the top four for the 2023 Bunnings NPC: 4th Phil Hazeldine 480 points.

3rd Bill Ferguson. 482 points.

2nd Mike Stronach 510

points.

1st and Winner of the Bunnings NPS for 2023 was Wayne McLaughlan. Congratulations Wayne. Well deserved, a great battle with Mike Stronach in the later stages of the competition.

World Rugby Cup This was a great competition as Phil’s Place Restaurant (Club Waimea) had donated the massive trophy back to the rugby section which he won back in the 2019 WRC, not only did he donate that trophy but he donated two other keepsake trophies. So, a massive thankyou goes out to Phil of Phil’s Place for the support and sponsorship he has given the rugby section this year. Thank you Phil.

This is the second year I have run this competition and I adopted a new challenge where in different weeks I would double-up their WRC scores and at times doubled their whole points, so that made it a interesting competition for

everyone. We split this one from the Bunnings NPC so we had two competitions running at the same time and all went brilliantly right through the competition.

Now the winners: 4th Wayne Trower 127 points 3rd Mike Stronach 128 points 2nd Phil Hazeldine 130 points.

1st= Tony Satherley 136 Points. Joint Winner, WRC Phils Place,Trophy.

1st= Lewis Della Bosca 136 points, Joint WRC Winner, Phils Place Trophy A huge thankyou to Club Waimea and the manager Wayne Williams for the prizes from his clients.

Totally appreciated Wayne.

So thats it for another year the World Rugby Cup goes back into the cabinet in the foyer with it's green

and gold colours for another four years and we will do it again in 2027.

Now it’s back to 2024 Super Pacific Rugby Competition starting in February, if you are a member of Club Waimea and you would like to join the rugby section or you are an old member and would like to return please give me a call on 027 231 2755 or email me on brownie.dawn46@gmail.com Thanks to everyone who attended the great afternoon also congratulations to all place-getters.

Winning Women's Bunnings Trophy Jenny Heywood scored 460 points, and the Joint Winners of The Phils Place World Rugby Cup Tony Satherley , (Chris Satherley his Brother is Accepting it on his behalf) and Lewis Della Bosca. both score 136 points. The big trophy Gary Brown is holding is the Phils Place World Rugby Cup Trophy, won by Wayne McLaughlin, which can be seen in the Foyer of Club Waimea in the cabinet.

Guest speaker Peter Duncan Secretary, Fishing Section

A couple of our members cars on the shore of Lake Rotoiti on our Sunday 12th November car run. We also celebrated the birthdays of Donna Rae and Sharon Rogers with a coldie and cake at the Lodge. Great afternoon was had by all.

At the October meeting of the Club Waimea Fishing Section, we set the season off on the right foot by inviting Fisheries Officer, Thomas Ervine, to refresh us on our obligations to take care of the fishery during our fishing activities.

Thomas began by recounting his path to becoming a Fisheries Officer which included experience in Search and Rescue and a period of two years as an Honorary Fisheries Officer. He has previously worked full-time from the Hamilton and Wellington offices and has recently moved to work from the Nelson base. His impression so far is that the people he encounters in the Nelson area are friendly and cooperative and generally complying with the rules, and he looks forward to continuing in that working environment. In 100 inspections he has found only one offence.

He entertained us with some self-deprecating anecdotes of some of his earlier experiences while grow-

ing into the role.

He advised that Fisheries Offices do have power of arrest, but do not detain unless making an arrest. All questions asked must be answered.

We were told that flashing blue beacons is the signal to stop. We need to comply with that.

F.O.’s do not carry weapons but wear protective vests and a body camera. Depending on the level off offence and whether offences are repeated, the offence may result in a caution with education, or at the other extreme, may result in confiscation of the catches, any profits and any item used in the committing of the offences, as well as fines.

If poachers are observed operating in Marine Protected Areas or committing other offences, they can be reported by calling 08004poacher.

Nelson has seven full-time Fisheries Officers and about 5 Honorary Fisheries Officers.

Thomas reviewed the rules related to use of nets which stimulated some discussion. Previously, not everyone was clear on the rules.

Hill goes back-to-back in Rotorua Nelson Speedway’s Alex Hill has gone back-to-back at the annual Triples event at Paradise Valley Speedway in Rotorua.

The unpredictable forecast earlier in the week left Alex with an apprehensive journey north - added with a broken ferry as part of the equation. But the sun shone at the right time and the meeting went ahead. Alex was partnered with locals Alan McRobbie and Dale Stewart.

The defending team got off to a great start, all three inside the top ten in the first heat, while a fantastic effort by Alex from grid 20th saw him make it all the way to 3rd in heat 2 for vital points going into the final.

The final was an epic battle. Dale started off pole with Alex on grid 10 and Alan off 17. It was straight into block mode with both Alex and Alan copping a fair bit of attention, protecting Dale’s lead.

Thirteen cars never finished the race, but all three team members finished with Dale claiming the checkered flag, successfully defending their title. It was a special moment with Alex dedicating the win to Nelson life member Dave Higgins and the 79n race team. Dave

passed away earlier in the week. Alex wants to thank his family: Kerry and Jo, for all their support, along with wife Alicia, and their many sponsors, especially Trinder Engineers, Waimea Engineering and Jack’s Tyres.

Ellesmere Speedway hosted the first round of the Mike Greer Homes (Nelson) Quarter Midget series and the South Island Youth Ministock title. King of the Coast Champion Conley Webley backed up his recent form, winning the CTRA South Island Youth Ministock title on the weekend. He backed that up with a 5th placing in the Quarter Midget feature. Greymouth’s Kohen Thompson took a well-earned win. They have their next series round here at Nelson Speedway on NZ T.Q. title weekend. Locky Martin, in his second meeting in the Ministock, took out his first race win in the final qualifying heat, the defending Mike Greer series champion finishing 7th in the Quarter Midget feature with the other of last year’s podium placegetters Darcy Rasmussen in 3rd and Bailey Bensemann 9th. Racing returns to Nelson on 8 and 9 December.

Waimea College reigns supreme JACK MALCOLM Waimea College’s junior A girl’s volleyball team are South Island champions after beating St. Andrew’s College.

Having lost the first set of the final against St Andrews College, 21-25, the

team rallied in the second, 25-12, to send the game to a third and final deciding set, which they won 15-13.

Adding to their unbeaten success, Hannah Granger was awarded tournament MVP and was named in the tournament team alongside Maddy Seymour.

The tournament, hosted in Dunedin, also saw Nelson College for Girls come fifth, Nayland College come ninth and Garin College come 14th in the first division, while Motueka High School won the second division’s bronze medal.

Super D scholarship applications close soon JACK MALCOLM Time is running out to apply for the Super D Scholarship for the upcoming 2024 race season. Aimed at riders who are planning to compete internationally next year, the scholarship provides financial support to make those dreams

Women’s rugby on the rise JACK MALCOLM Women’s rugby has seen an explosion of growth in recent years.

Rugby New Zealand’s statistics show that while the men’s game has declined in the past year, there has been a 20 per cent increase in women and girls playing the game in the past 12 months.

Since 2019, the number of senior club women has increased

40 per cent, and junior club girls has increased 36 per cent, highlighting the work of local activators in the space.

In the Nelson Tasman region, one of the activators pushing for change is community women’s rugby manager Estelle Uren.

She believes that the success of last year’s Women’s World Cup has given the women’s game the exposure it deserves.

“The community wants more opportunity in the female

space.

“With the next generation coming through, the face of rugby is going to change and how do we develop to meet the next generation.”

Estelle says that rugby needs to change with the times and spoke about a recent coaching workshop she attended that highlighted that need.

“We’ve got to try some different things.

“I think there’s definitely more

females wanting to play the game.”

As part of Estelle’s drive to lift the women’s game to parity with the men, she has teamed up with the Wakatū Girls Rugby Trust to deliver an activator programme around the region.

With Murchison, Rai Valley, Appleby, Broadgreen, and Nelson Central primary schools already on board, the intention is to encourage anyone and everyone to give the game a go.

The growth of the women’s game in the Nelson and Tasman region isn’t slowing down as new initiatives look to drive participation rates even higher. Photo: Supplied.

Set in the beautiful Waimea Inlet on Best Island, Richmond. We offer everything required for a great day of golf in the sunny Nelson Tasman region.

“It’s to provide a touch point with a four-week delivery into schools with a Rippa programme. The kids are loving it, it’s really good, especially the country schools.”

As part of the programme, targeted at older primary and intermediate-aged children, local Mako women have been coming along to the activator sessions and have been swamped by fans wanting autographs, Estelle says.

Have your say on speed in our region

We’re only human, and mistakes happen. That said, mistakes on our roads still cause too much harm.

Reducing speeds can reduce the impact of accidents when they occur.

We need to manage that together.

Our Speed Consultation invites you to consider four options to manage speeds across our region. Take a look, and let us know what you think about our plans for your area.
