Jo Kent A simple DIY job turned into something way more exciting after a Richmond mum-of-four discovered a secret message in a bottle buried in one of her wall cavities.

“My husband and I were replacing rotten weatherboards on the outside of our house and had got quite a way into the job when I saw a white lid poking out,” Kaz Bradley says.

“Initially, I thought it was a bottle of bubbles which some kids may have stuffed in there.”

But it turns out the vintage Coca-Cola

“I found a message in a bottle on a beach in Golden Bay once.

I wrote back to the address provided, but I never heard back, so maybe they moved.”

“A message to my future family saying we all survived the pandemic (hopefully!)”

“I’d do a time capsule. I did one in Australia in 1986 and hid it in the bricks of a BBQ we built.”

“I’d write, ‘Don’t sweat the small stuff as it always works out in the end.’”

Secret message in a bottle found from PAGE 1

bottle had been hidden for nearly four decades and contained not one, but two handwritten notes from previous owners along with an original photograph of the house from 1949.

“When I pulled it out and saw what it was I was so excited, and both me and my husband were trying to grab the letters to be the first to read them.”

The notes contained historical information about the property on Herbert Street, which Kaz and her family have owned for 10 years. “I’m the second person to find the hidden bottle, as the original message from 1984 was found just four years later in 1988 by the new owners.”

The Hybrow family were the first family to discover the bottle back in the eighties. Mum Denise then

“The second letter had more detail in it about who lived here – and I actually managed to track

them down on Facebook.”

Hamish, who was mentioned in the letter, was just 18 at the time.

But he’s now in his fifties and is a well-known figure in the community.

“Hamish is a constable for Rich-

mond police and also runs the Richmond Taekwondo club,” Kaz says.

When she contacted him out of the blue to tell him about her discovery, he was surprised.

“I do remember my mum and

dad renovating the house back then even though I was only 18,” Hamish says. “Mum told me they’d found a message in a bottle up the chimney of the fireplace from a previous owner. I thought it was pretty cool at the time, like a piece of history.”

He says he didn’t realise his mum was going to write something about their family and hide it along with the original message.

“It was pretty special to hear from Kaz and that she’d found mum’s note.”

Hamish’s mum Denise is now 76 and still lives in Richmond.

“I’d forgotten I’d even done it, to be honest with you,” she says, remembering they celebrated Hamish’s 21st birthday in the house before moving out in the 1990s. The time capsule will now be put back, along with a third note written by Kaz and family.

24 new townhouses proposed for Richmond from PAGE 1 be one parking space per house, which will be in a shared car park to the front of the development.

Two spaces have also been reserved for emergency or service vehicles.

While there are no garages planned, each block will have a bike storage area for three bikes with an E-bike charging point. Eight bike parks are also reserved for visitors.

The size of the homes would range from 81.92sqm to 86.82sqm, with overall lot sizes from 100sqm to 105sqm.

Proposed layouts feature an open-plan kitchen, dining and living room on the ground floor, with two double bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor.

Kit says that as the sites are slightly smaller, the properties are anticipated to be more affordable than some others in the area.

“The plan is they will give people a chance to get on the property ladder who may have previously been priced out of the market.”

The site is in the residential zone, on the boundary of the Richmond Intensive Development Area.

Previously, just one house with a separate garage and sleepout occupied the land at 83 Salisbury Road.

Transforming land which used to have single dwellings into larger developments is what is being encouraged by the Government.

Richmond is Tasman’s fastestgrowing settlement and the

region is experiencing very high rates of urban growth and housing shortages. The year ending May 2021 saw a record 633 building consents issued for new dwellings.

“The secret is out, Nelson Tasman is the best place to live, and to keep up with demand we need to be smart about how we provide housing,” Kit says.

Home-schooling on the rise Jenny Nicholson For some parents, mask mandates are the tipping point for taking their children out of school and educating them at home.

Aimee Miller always left schooling to the teachers.

“Just hearing the children read their books at night is as far as it went for academics,” she says.

Aimee is one of an increasing number of parents applying to home-school their children. Figures from the Ministry of Education show home-education applications in November jumped to nearly 900, well up from less than 200 the year before.

January saw 735 applications, up four times on the usual applications.

Aimee’s fourth child William was assessed for dyslexia last year and Aimee says it opened her eyes to the school system which she says doesn’t fit every child.

“Teachers are overworked,” she says. “And there are behavioural issues in the classroom.”

Her children’s school was a community she enjoyed. After school, mums would sit and chat for half an hour while their children played on the playground.

She was able to pop into see the

All that changed with Covid-19.

Athletics were cancelled for the junior school.

Parents were discouraged from going onto school grounds and it became more difficult to have frequent catchups with William’s

teacher.

“I felt there was a real shift in how school feels,” Aimee says. “It is a stark contrast to the community feel we had.”

Aimee did some research into home-schooling but filed it away in ‘we will address it in the future.’ The clincher was the intro-

duction of masks in schools.

Last week she submitted her application to home-school William and now faces a wait to hear if she has been successful.

Principals at some local primary schools say they have had students move to home-schooling or home-based learning. Wakefield School principal Peter Verstappen says they had one family apply at the end of 2021 and another last month.

Hira principal and Nelson Principals Association president Symon Beattie says he has seen some students move to homeschooling. Some other families have indicated their children won’t return to school under the red setting. “We are supporting those students to re-engage in a way that is safe,” Symon says.

The Ministry of Education say the surge in applications has created delays in approvals and families could expect to wait more than six weeks for a decision. It says parents must demonstrate they can teach their children as regularly and as well as in registered school.

Last year the ministry approved 2655 applications for homeschooling, declined 78 and was still deliberating over 983.

Trees of Remembrance raises $36k Hospice’s Trees of Remembrance campaign has raised more than $36,000 for the region’s palliative care facility.

The total amount raised, $36,270, exceeds the 2020 total and comes from a combination of donations to the Trees of Remembrance in the community and at local Farmers’ stores, as well as a new tree at Eclectic Antiques and online donations.

Trees of Remembrance is an annual tradition for hospices around the world and a vital fundraiser for Nelson Tasman Hospice which needs to raise 45 per cent, $2.5million, of its annual operating costs each year to remain free for patients, their families and whanau.

Nelson Tasman Hospice chief executive, Tony Gray, says hospice are again extremely grateful for the support of the public, volunteers and Farmers’ staff.

The Trees in the Community are also a way to remember lost loved ones.

Hospice philanthropy coordinator, Georgia Ciaran, says more than 1000 memorial decorations are placed on the trees each Christmas.

Hospitality struggling Max Frethey and Sara Hollyman A wholesale baker is living in a caravan, renting her house out to try and keep her business afloat.

Shelley Sims, owner of Freshbake in Brightwater, says she has never seen business like this in the 14 years she has owned it.

“I have $6000 left of my own money before I’ve used all my overdrafts. We could probably keep trading for another six weeks if nothing changes.”

Shelley’s business supplies wholesale bread to a number of supermarkets and cafes across Nelson Tasman but she says the cafes and restaurants are all struggling.

“I’ve never worked as hard as I have in the last month.”

She says during the first lockdown, government assistance helped, but now with red light setting, there is no help.

“I’m 80 per cent down in income and there’s no help, how does that make sense?”

She says the money made renting out her home is all going back into the business but she still can’t pay some bills.

“My Coke fridge in the shop is very empty and people comment on it, I don’t want to say it’s because I can’t pay my bill.”

Shelley’s worries are echoed across the hospitality industry.

Staff are working longer shifts and opening hours are often cut as being understaffed becomes the norm.

“We are running on three staff, ideally [the café] should have five to six,” said Nicola Woodbury, owner of the Wooden Spoon in Richmond.

“It’s starting to have an impact on the level of service customers are getting.”

Nicola is wondering if she needs to start buying products that

“Even something as simple as hollandaise, which we make every morning, it’s an extra five minutes that I don’t have anymore.”

To cope with the lack of staff, Nicola and her team have been working extra hours to do everything that needs to be done.

“I’m here from six every morning… I’m here much later because I’ve taken on the role of chef because I can’t find one…

I’m here at the end of the day doing prep for tomorrow so I’m not here at five in the morning.”

The café’s chef left the business in September, and while he had someone beneath him, “asking her to do six days was too much, so we took out Mondays.” Nicola said.

Now the Wooden Spoon is only open from Tuesday to Saturday, a

new five-day week rather than their preferred six days.

Mishael Sowman, owner of the Ambrosia Café in Richmond, said that they’ve had no luck with their hunt for more staff and, after three months of looking, are putting their search “on hold”.

All of Mishael’s staff, herself included, are working longer hours and must “spread [themselves] around more” to pick up the slack.

The current situation at Ambrosia was “manageable” over the short term, Mishael said, but that it would be not viable over the long term.

The situation is similar out in Brightwater.

Joanna Burbery, manager of HQ Café and Bar, says they’d been looking for an experienced barista for about a month.

“I don’t know where they are.”

Joanna said that she has received some applications for the position, but no one with experience.

“You need the right person,” she explained. Just being a “quick learner” wasn’t going to cut it.

Despite being “lucky to have a multiskilled team” which lessened the strain the business could have been facing, staff were having to do more hours.

Joanna said that sickness was “also a worry,” with smaller teams, having a worker off sick would make things more difficult for the rest of their staff.

Michael Meissner, owner of the Villa café and restaurant in Wakefield, has been having staffing problems as well.

Last year, he needed a new duty manager, but after three months of searching and spending $1000 in advertising the position on TradeMe, he still had no results.

Michael said his team “learned to cope” with fewer staff, but that meant a decline in speed for serving customers.

The position was recently filled through the Ministry of Social Development, but Michael described the hiring as “pure luck.”

Michael said he had been looking into the possibility of job sharing with other businesses they had a good relationship with, to fill holes in his staff.

Recently the government announced its plan to reopen the borders which will eventually allow foreign workers to enter the country.

However, Michael, who has employed workers from overseas before, doesn’t think it will make any difference to his business.

By the time border restrictions are eased, his business will be slowing down as the summer season comes to an end and having a smaller team is more practical. “I don’t need them.”

Joanna from HQ said that in ten years, they have “never hired someone with a visa… we like to have locals,” citing their knowledge of the region as a benefit to questioning travellers who visit the café.

“I like to have people that are here… not just seasonally,” the Wooden Spoon’s Nicola said about potentially hiring foreign workers. “Knowing that we’ll have someone for a couple years is my style.”

After a troubled few years, with fluctuating Covid-19 restrictions and closed borders, a return to normalcy is sorely desired for many in hospitality industry, but with the threat of Omicron looming and total border opening not being achieved until October, the future still looks uncertain for many businesses.

Do good for your community Jo Kent A critical emergency reponse unit is putting the call out to the community to join them.

St John Nelson Bay’s major incident support team (MIST) volunteers are critical to major incidents in providing the support to emergency responders at the scene.

The team can be deployed to a serious flooding event, earthquake, multiple motor vehicle crash, or any major event or disaster that might need require support for ambulance officers.

Paul Kent-Johnston, MIST manager for Nelson Bays, says while the current Nelson Bays team works extremely well, the problem is that it’s too small.

“I’m really proud of our team, but we need to grow so we are better able to support the ambulance service when it is needed.

“Because you don’t have to be clinical, MIST gives you an opportunity to get involved and work side-byside supporting those who do have the clinical skills.”

NEWS More certainty for international students: Waimea College principal Scott Haines says they watched Thursday’s announcement regarding border re-opening with interest. “We are looking forward to the return of international students to Waimea College,” he says.” With Step 5 seeing the border reopening to visitors and students who require a visa beginning in October, Scott says the college has a greater level of certainty and can begin to plan for the months ahead. He says Waimea College has maintained close contact with sister schools and partner agents overseas throughout the border closure. He says it is pleasing to now have some defined dates for border entry that they can share with partners overseas.

MIST is also part of St John’s response for large events.

The team were on site at January’s Netsky concert, deploying a large tent to use as a treatment centre assisteing to set up clinical equipment.

“We went to help retrieve patients from the crowd as required, jumping in regularly in a whole range of situations during the concert. Even having to step up as bouncers at our treatment centre at one stage,” Paul says.

James Stewart, St John na-

tional operations manager, emergency ambulance service volunteers, says MIST volunteers play an invaluable role.

“Being a MIST volunteer is something people can do to help their community.

We’re looking for people with multiple skill levels, for example, they could have an IT or welfare background,” he says.

St John Ambulance is also in the process of replacing its current fleet of MIST command vehicles over the next

two years.

Twenty-eight new Gen 4 Mercedes vehicles are being custom-fitted with all the essential equipment for a major incident, including medical supplies for 50 patients and a tent that can comfortably house equipment and six critical patients and set up to complement a field hospital. The MIST team will be at Richmond Mall on Sunday, 13 February from 10am-2pm. Head along to find out more about volunteering.

Delays expected on deviation: Highway sealing and widening work will begin on a one-kilometrestretch of the Richmond Deviation next weekend, ahead of the installation of median flexible safety barriers, to help prevent head-on crashes. Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency is advising drivers to expect delays and a longer journey time going through Richmond while the work is undertaken.

The work was originally scheduled for late last year but was postponed. Work will happen on both Saturday, 19 February and Sunday, 20 February between 6am and 6pm. The highway will be reduced to a single lane with southbound traffic (towards Richmond) detoured Saturday morning to 1 pm and northbound traffic (towards Nelson) detoured on Sunday at the same time. The detour route is via McGlashen Ave, Talbot St and Salisbury Road. If it is wet the work will move to the following weekend 26 and 27 February.

Nigel Johnson has been a recreational firearms user for much of his life. Photo: Sara Hollyman.

Firearms regulation changes take effect Sara Hollyman New firearms regulations came into effect this month which further tighten rules around gun ownership as well as extending police allowances of recording the amount and types of guns that firearms licence holders have in their possession.

Previous legislation stated that the holder takes reasonable steps to ensure that any firearm in their possession is secured against theft.

From 1 July 1993, this included specifically that no firearm in the holder’s possession be left in a vehicle that is unattended.

A police spokesperson says that an analysis of a sample of stolen firearms reported to police over a two-year period, and where information about the circumstances were reported, showed that around 30 per cent of thefts were from vehicles “In many other incidents, offenders have been able to steal firearms due to easily breaking into storage areas. The purpose of these strengthened requirements is to prevent these incidents from occurring. The amendments will significantly strengthen and streamline oversight of all licence holders’ storage for the first time.”

Nigel Johnson, who has been a gun owner for much of his life, says travelling with firearms and leaving them unattended in your vehicle has been a “grey area” for some time.

“Police have always used their judgement if you have to leave your vehicle, I mean you don’t carry your firearm into a bank, so you leave it in the vehicle.”

A police spokesperson says the previous rules created a safety concern for the public.

“Previously the obligation was that no firearms be left unattended. This meant that some interpreted this as

having to carry their firearm into public places with resultant safety concern of the general public.”

The new rules came into effect on 1 February.

Nigel recently tried heading to his local gun club testing out the new rules around transport.

“I had to carry four firearms, it was a bit of a twiddle, but it was not too arduous. The question one would have to ask is was it ever a problem and did it need fixing in the first place?

The regulations go into more indepth detail about the storage of ammunition, specifying that it must be stored in a secure container with a locking mechanism.

They also go into further detail on storage in a mobile home including campervans and caravans and transporting firearms on public transport.

A Motueka Pistol Club spokesperson says the club is broadly supportive of the changes to the firearms regulations.

“These affect transportation of firearms and do little more than clarify the existing situation.”

They say most firearm owners were already keenly aware of the danger of leaving any firearm unattended, whether it was in a locked car, and the regulations simply put into print what was considered good practice anyway.

“The regulations do not change anything where the owner is in the car. Nobody wants firearms to get into the wrong hands, and licence holders, especially, have every interest in preventing theft of their property.”

The police spokesperson says the regulations are required to assist licence holders to know and meet their obligations.

“They have been developed in consultation with the community.”

Clearest water in world at risk Naomi Arnold/RNZ

Nelson’s Rotomairewhenua/Blue Lake, which has the clearest water in the world, is facing the threat from lake snow, an invasive diatom that blooms into a slimy, clinging, algae-like substance that could disturb its pure waters.

The organism is already in other lakes around New Zealand, including Rotoiti and Rotoroa in Nelson Lakes National Park, and there are fears it could spread to the tiny Blue Lake, too, which is popular with trampers.

The spring-fed Blue Lake’s clarity is consistently between 70-80 metres, which reaches the theoretical clarity of distilled water.

Diving is typically thought to have outstanding clarity at 40m, which is rare around the New Zealand coast. The next clearest lake is Oregon’s Crater Lake, at 30-40m visibility.

This summer the Department of Conservation (DOC) hired a paid hut warden, Kylie Batt, whose job it is to warn people about lake snow. “[The lake is] extremely sacred to our local iwi of Ngāti Apa ki te Rā Tō. Although [the signs] say no swimming, that’s not the case - it’s no touching. We really don’t want

Right: Retired NIWA hydrologist Rob Merrilees at Rotomairewhenua/Blue Lake, which he noticed had exceptionally clear water 20 years ago and returned with NIWA in 2009 to measure and confirm that it was the clearest in the world at 70-80 metre visibility.

“I find most people [are respectful] but you’re always going to get some people who aren’t, especially if they’re not culturally sensitive because sometimes they believe that’s why they can’t get in the water. But it’s not just that although that’s really important - it’s really a biosecurity hazard now.”

Lake snow is a nuisance because it sticks to fishing gear, boats, motors, and people. If it gets into the residential water supply, it causes blockages and clogs filters as well

as household appliances connected to the system.

On the lake, anglers may find the algae accumulates on fishing lines and lures. It can also stick to boat hulls and equipment, wetsuits and your skin or hair if you encounter it. It is easily spread between lakes on or in contaminated watercraft, trailers, clothing, boots, animals, tramping equipment and fishing gear.

Tasman District Council communications officer Tim O’Connell said it only took one droplet of water or tiny piece of slime infected with Lindavia

intermedia to spread. “Tasman district’s alpine lakes have some of the cleanest and clearest water in New Zealand and we want to keep them that way,” he said.

The council was working alongside DOC, MPI and Fish & Game to combat its spread, he said.

“We carried out water sampling in association with DOC last summer that confirmed the invasive microscopic algae Lindavia intermedia is present in both Lakes Rotoiti and Rotoroa in Nelson Lakes National Park. Further testing in 2021 found Lindavia in Lake Rotoiti was increasing.”

Lake snow is not toxic to humans or animals, but the impact of the algae on the lake’s ecology and health is not fully understood.

“Vigilance is our best advice in limiting the spread of lake snow,” he said.

Retired NIWA water scientist Rob Merrilees, who first visited the lake 20 years ago and did the first measurements of its clarity with a NIWA team, said he hoped New Zealanders could appreciate the lake without spreading the diatom. “It’s a beautiful place and it should be appreciated for what it is - and it shouldn’t be trashed.”

Wakefield’s Zach Parr, 7, has been diagnosed with a heart murmur.

Why do I have to have a broken heart?

Jenny Nicholson At just 7-years-old, Zach Parr wonders why he has to have a broken heart.

Wakefield’s Zach is one of the South Island poster children for Little Heart Day, a fundraiser for children with heart problems. While he a positive boy, and understands and accepts his heart is different from others, there are times he asks his mother Tania why ‘he has a broken heart.’

After a scan at 20-weekspregnant, Zach’s parents were told that he had a major heart defect and would possibly be born with only half a heart.

“That was a bit scary,” Zach’s mum Tania says.

Further scans showed there was less of a problem. At

birth, Zach was diagnosed with a heart murmur, having just one flap on his aortic valve, rather than the usual three. This causes his heart to work harder to let blood through.

Zach knows his limits. While he can do what other children can do and goes skiing with his family, he gets tired more easily, doesn’t sleep well, and gets sick easily.

He is currently being monitored, but the day will come when he will need a valve replacement, most likely sometime during his childhood or teen years.

“That’s always in the back of my mind,” Tania says. “Doctors say when it is near time for replacement he could pass out or have chest pain.”

Tania says his sternum will be cut open and it’s likely he

will be on a bypass machine during the surgery.

Heart Kids is a not-for-profit organisation providing support to children, teens, and adults living with a childhood heart condition, and their whānau. Each week 12 babies are born with a congenital heart defect (CHD) in Aotearoa.

“At the start of our journey I turned to Google and found Heart Kids,” Tania says. “Talking with others on similar journeys has helped so much.”

Covid-19 has changed things for families with children with CHD, with only one parent allowed to be with their child in hospital at any one time.

“That would be so hard not being able to be together to support each other,” Tania

Housing update Last week I went to Auckland to visit a Kainga Ora development in Northcote. This development is turning 300 state houses into 1700 homes. The houses are a mix of public houses, KiwiBuild homes, and affordable market homes for first home buyers. I meet with local Kainga Ora officials regularly and will be talking with them about my visit and what I think could work well in Nelson.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced last week the Government’s five-step plan to reopen New Zealand’s border. You can read more at covid19.govt.nz. The Government also reduced the interval between getting your second vaccine and booster from four months to three months. Getting your booster is the best way to protect your family and our community from omicron, and I encourage you to get your booster if you’re due!

Parliament resumes this week, and I’m looking forward to being back in Wellington representing Nelson. This year my priorities for Nelson will be our new Hospital, Housing and Transport. If there are local issues you are keen for me to be aware of, please get in touch!

says. “Sometimes the doctors are operating on babies with hearts the size of a walnut.”

Social distancing has also meant Heart Kids are unable to run their usual street appeal. Little Heart Day is part of their solution, and they are inviting individuals, groups, workplaces, and schools to get involved to fundraise.

Heart Kids New Zealand Communications Advisor Laurel Ketel says they would love parents to encourage their local schools to join in fundraising on 18 March this year. It could be a coin trail in the shape of a heart, a ‘wear red’ mufti day, or one of the other ideas found on their website.

“There are heart kids everywhere,” she says.

Youth encouraged to connect with environment Jo Kent A brand-new youth group aimed at encouraging young people to get involved in conservation has launched in Nelson Tasman.

Forest & Bird Youth is a nationwide network of people aged 14-25, who are protecting and restoring New Zealand’s wildlife and rural spaces.

And now a hub has been set up in the region.

Nate Wilbourne, from Brightwater, turns 14 next month and has been volunteering alongside Forest & Bird Youth to create the hub. He says he can’t wait to work with other like-minded teens.

“Forest & Bird Youth connects young people to nature, and we do a variety of work for the environment, be it social media, campaigning or practical conservation,” Nate says.

“Nelson has such a diverse environment, so it’s a shame that we are destroying it. We have a huge range of biodiversity, from our ocean ecosystems to our dense forests.”

He says the group will organise events with other conservation groups and help volunteer on their projects.

“I’m very passionate about creating a safe, sustainable future for

ship team roles are designed for people looking to expand or gain more skills and knowledge in those specific areas, such as social media or art. A passion is all it takes to put yourself forward. So just go for it.”

The reach of the group will be the whole region with events as far as Pelorus Sound Bridge to Farewell Spit, down the West Coast for part of Kahurangi National Park, and all the way to St Arnaud.

“We need members from all over, as we have lots of activities lined up and need as many young volunteers as possible to help out,” Nate says.

“We just meet online on Zoom and then discuss the events we have scheduled, so distance isn’t a problem.”

Events such as tree planting, bird release and trap monitoring are all on the group’s radar, as well as beach cleans or river clear-ups.

“Nothing is compulsory, you can pick and choose what works for you. But you’ll learn so much and get yourself out in the community, all the while contributing to the wellbeing of the planet.”

The judge then asked the medical examiner if Pare’s injuries could have been caused in the manner which Pepene described. The medical examiner replied that it was not possible; the injury inflicted upon Pare was intentional.

At the end of the proceedings, the jury deliberated for two hours and then returned the verdict “wilful murder”, but they recommended mercy for Pepene, rather than the death penalty. After Pepene was taken into custody, the judge asked, “On what grounds did you recommend the prisoner to mercy?”

One of the jurors replied, “Upon the ground that he had received great provocation through jealousy.” Pepene’s life was indeed spared, and his sentence given was three years’ imprisonment.

Waihe Karuwhero, who gave testimony in court, as well as Charles McLean, whose boat transported the men to Nelson. Pepene’s defence lawyer was Mr Kingdon, and an interpreter was also present in court.

A jury heard Pepene’s side of the story: that on the Monday afternoon Pepene was mending his trousers, and Pare making a basket, when suddenly, unprovoked, Pare had attacked Pepene, throwing an axe at him. Pepene ducked twice out of the way, as she shouted that she did not like him.

When he questioned, “Who is the man whom you desire?” she would not answer, but produced the letter that Pepene would later give to Rewi after returning to the whare. Pepene read the letter, then told the jury he picked up the axe and said, “Here, take the axe back.”

He claimed he threw the axe

Got some news?

The night after Pare was killed in her whare by an axe, Pepene waited to die in the forest after drinking poison. At daylight, however, he found himself still alive, and he decided it would be better to give himself up to justice. He returned to the community by the gold diggings. As he crossed the brook by the whare, a woman called up to alert those within, “Pepene is coming.”

Inside the whare, Rewi, Lydia and several others were waiting for him. “Why did you kill your wife?” Rewi asked.

Pepene replied that he had killed her, “lest some other person should be pleased with her.” He added, “I drank some poison but it did not kill me.”

Pepene then produced a letter.

One of the men read it aloud.

Lydia later recalled in court that part of the letter read, “My friend, Pare, let us stick to each other. Do not let our affections cease.” The letter was unsigned.

While Pare’s relatives wanted to kill Pepene to avenge Pare’s death, the rest of the Māori decided to turn Pepene over to the authorities (an unusual decision that was noted in the local paper).

A constable organised a small party to take Pepene to Nelson to be tried. Two Māori from the diggings accompanied him: Paora Koinahi and

Saxton street named after former mayor The previously unnamed road through the Saxton Field complex has been officially named Kerry Marshall Drive in honour of the former mayor.

Having served as mayor of Richmond for three years, Tasman for nine years and Nelson for three years, the road will serve as a fitting way to recognise Kerry’s many years of service to the wider region.

The proposal to name the road came from Nelson mayor Ra-

chel Reese, Tasman mayor Tim King and former Nelson MP Nick Smith in July 2020.

Nelson City Council voted to approve the naming of the road in September 2021 with an unveiling ceremony held last Thursday to mark the occasion.

Family and friends of Kerry were joined by members of Nelson and Tasman councils along with Nelson MP Rachel Boyack and previous MP Nick Smith, to remember Kerry’s

many contributions to the region and country.

Nelson deputy mayor Judene Edgar said Saxton Field was the perfect location to recognise Kerry, as much of his work benefitted both Nelson and Tasman.

“Kerry’s was a life of community and public service,” she said.

“We have all benefitted from his tireless work.”

Tasman mayor Tim King echoed Judene’s sentiments.

“We welcome the gesture as an appropriate memorial.

“A road linking the two districts reflects Kerry’s time at the helm of both councils and the joined-up development that occurred during his tenure in both offices.”

Kerry spent the last years of his life at the Ernest Rutherford Retirement Village, enjoying walks through the Saxton grounds before his passing in March 2020.

Heavy rain devastates Sara Hollyman Property owners have been devastated by flooding which hit small pockets of the region over the weekend.

Heavy rain began to hit the region on Thursday, closing State Highway 6 at Hira, the main route to Blenheim.

Whangamoa property owner Jess Patterson says her property is a “mess”.

Jess and her family live on a 5-hectare property on Kokorua Rd, with cows, sheep, chickens, dogs and a horse.

The state highway closure left them cut-off from the city.

Jess says, on Thursday, while both her and husband Nigel were at work, the rain started.

“Thankfully, at about 12pm our neighbours thought the water was getting a bit high so locked the horse and sheep in the top paddock.

“We thought Thursday night was the worst of it, but then at 6pm on Friday it started again, we had just got to our neighbours to check on them so stayed about an hour.”

She says by 9pm the water lev-

el had reached the house and around 2am Saturday morning, coinciding with high-tide, began flooding the kitchen.

“That’s when we called Civil Defence,” she says.

“The current was so strong, it pulled out our pool fencing, which was concreted in, it’s taken baleage three paddocks over, ripping the fences on the way, and those are really heavy bales.”

She says the entire property needs refencing after water and debris either completely flattened or smashed almost every one of them.

“The chickens all died, I took a photo of the water, and they were there, the water wasn’t near them, five minutes later and they were gone, it’s really sad.

“We just can’t make sense of how fast the water level came up, you can’t even imagine.”

Owner of Cable Bay Adventure Park, Richard Ussher, says more than 300mm of rain fell over a two-and-a-half-day period.

“We got pretty hammered,” he says.

Richard has a rain gauge capable of holding up to 150mm, which he emptied twice during the

Jess and Nigel Patterson’s Kokorua property was hit hard by heavy rain over the weekend. Photo: Supplied. event.

“It was overflowing both mornings, so we definitely got more than 300mm.

He says damage to the property included quite a few slips and a main culvert which suffered “quite a bit” of damage.

Jess says the water reached the top of the doors, flooding the stables, and was also knee-deep in the garage.

“My car, the fridges, everything in the garage, the floor in the

kitchen - the damage is just extensive to the whole property.”

They were waiting for the insurance company to reopen on Tuesday to get someone out to assess the damage so the clean-up could begin.

“It’s a bit frustrating that we can’t get straight into it, there’s so much to do.”

Jess says the community will rally to help each other.

“We’ve pretty much decided we will get together and go property

by property to fix the fences.”

She says first, they will have to pull together thousands of dollars to pay for the “thousands of posts”, wire, tractors and diggers that will be required to complete the job, as insurance doesn’t cover fencing.

Nigel is a volunteer for the Rai Valley Fire Brigade and Jess is due to launch a new business this week, so they already run a busy schedule.

“We’re doing what we can.”

Cleanup on the state highway began on Sunday with 15 different sites having slips and/or road damage between Rai Valley and Hira. The road reopened on Sunday evening, but Waka Kotahi journey manager Tresca Forrester says everyone needs to take care driving given the recent flooding and slip clearances.

“People should expect to see single lanes and traffic management on SH6 and other parts of the network.”

Remediation work was expected to begin this week.

Insulation

Sustainability is an important consideration these days when it comes to building and it is something that the team at Fraemohs take seriously.

Fraemohs Solid Timber homes (which includes homes from their transportable range) have walls made out of sustainably grown New Zealand timber, while our Timbermode homes have conventional timber framing and can have timber match lining as a feature interior lining.

The Fraemohs Solid Timber system uses interlocking timber boards that stack on top of one another to form the walls of your home. There is no separate framing, cladding, or lining in these homes. The walls are solid timber, and provide insulation and protection from the elements as well as forming the exterior finish and the internal finish – all with a single material.

Timber is a sustainable, natural, renewable resource. It has an elegance and warmth that makes a

home attractive to live in.

The properties of natural timber also help to create a healthier home. Wood “breathes” in a way that man-made materials do not and helps control moisture levels indoors so that your home will feel drier, warmer and be easier to heat effectively. Timber’s ability to help prevent dampness from accumulating is especially important in bedrooms during the nights, making your home more comfortable and healthier to live in.

Andy and Kathy Jessop had followed Fraemohs Homes for a number of years prior to coming onboard with the franchise for Tasman region last year. They were impressed by the earthquake durability, carbon negative status, eco friendly timber treatment and healthy home status of solid timber.

The simplicity of the Solid Timber range appeals to their view that a home should compliment its surroundings and provide a healthy haven for those living in it.

The Flood changed for now Jenny Nicholson Free food parcels are being handed out to people each week, and not just to those in need.

When plans for city wide meetings needed to be put aside, The Flood movement shifted to sharing the message of Jesus love with the community in smaller groups.

Prior to Covid-19 the group

planned meetings in the Trafalgar Centre Stadium, but realised those plans would need to be put on hold.

Organiser Hannah Wilmshurst says The Flood is a movement of people intent on seeing Jesus transform the lives of many by them experiencing God’s love.

“To see people encounter the love and power of God, that’s where our heart is,” she says.

People from many local churches are meeting each week to pray for the region.

Others are heading out on the streets each Thursday, handing out food parcels and chatting with people.

“We go to the people we felt led to,” says Hannah.

She says they still hope to have the stadium event later this year.

Art meets animals at Natureland Kate Russell Natureland is extending and is seeking help from creative members of the community to brighten up the new area.

The Tāhunanui wildlife sanctuary has been granted a nearly 2000m2 extension on their lease and gifted two shipping containers to use as animal shelters.

The only thing they need now is for someone to help give the big blue containers an artistic facelift.

Manager Ruth Seabright says the new area will be used for hoof stock - goats, sheep, and alpaca - for extra grazing and overnighting so inside paddocks can be rested.

“But they need shelter, so we thought the containers were a really good idea.”

The older containers were donated and need small repairs.

“But they are not exactly beautiful, so we thought it would be really awesome if somebody creative

could come and do some artwork on them to make them more attractive.”

She says they are open to all ideas and designs but ideally would like to see them blending into the environment and reflecting their conservation message.

“However, I know there are some really creative people out there who might have some amazing ideas.”

Natureland was offered a helping hand to fence and hedge the new area from Rotary Club of Whakatū and Mike Nicholls Contracting, which was funded by Mainland Foundation and Pub Charity.

Ruth says they will be able to apply for funding for any materials needed to paint the containers.

“At this stage, we are just looking for some ideas and it would be really cool to get some coming in. It would be nice to see them not just being big blue containers.”

Washing disposable masks shown to be ok Jenny Nicholson Reporter

jennifer@waimeaweekly.co.nz

After enjoying cloth masks as fashion accessories, many are returning to disposable masks.

Nelson Bays Primary Health infectious disease specialist, Dr Richard Everts, studied various masks, with findings including how they worked, their fit, and the safe cleaning of them.

Dr Everts says it doesn’t have to be the end of cloth masks.

“I don’t think most cloth masks on their own are worth using unless you have one that fits very well and you can’t fit the normal blue ones,” he says. “If you have an unusual face shape you might fit a fabric mask better than a standard disposable mask.”

He says a good fabric mask with three layers costs a lot and may be weak after a few washes. However, a more common fabric mask used in conjunction with other masks still has a use.

“Putting a cloth mask over or under a disposable mask will improve their function,” he says.

“Mostly, by improving their fit.”

He acknowledges that it would also make it harder to breathe through, but it will work a little better.

Above: Richmond’s Carolyn Sutton chooses a N95 mask to provide protection from Covid-19. Right: Colleen Eddy is double masked providing her more protection from Covid-19. Photos: Jenny Nicholson.

Dr Everts says the common blue masks are great for everyday and 95 per cent of health-care use.

He says while the N95 masks are more effective, they are also ten times the cost and for specific high-risk healthcare situations.

“They are also good for people in the community who are very vulnerable and want extra protection when at a high-risk event like a funeral or when travelling by public transport.”

When it comes to the common blue disposable mask, fit is critical. Squeezing the wire to fit the nose improves their filtration efficiency by 10 percent. Tightening the ear-loop straps by looping them over a ponytail can increase effectiveness.

With many families not owning many ‘single use’ disposable masks, the good news is they can be washed and reused. Dr Everts tested the best methods to wash

the masks and found two ways worked best. Washing them in warm water for about 10 seconds and allowing them to dry overnight is one method.

“If you want to be more certain about killing bugs on the masks, put them in boiling water for five minutes and then dry them overnight.”

He says both cause a little damage to how the mask works after 10 washes.

His advice is not to use soap, bleach or detergent on them.

“Soaps remove the static electricity from the masks,” Dr everts says. “That causes about 50 per cent damage even after only one wash.”

As many children in schools start wearing masks, Dr Everts says encouraging the children to try not to touch the face fabric, but instead just the loops and straps, is a good idea.

Walking 100km to help others Jenny Nicholson Walking 100 km in a day is just the latest adventure for Jenny and Andre Manton and Eve Ilves.

As part of the Scrambled Legs team taking part in Oxfam Trailwalker 2022, they will each walk 100 km within 36 hours, although they all hope to complete it in 24 hours. They are raising funds to fight injustices that keep families in the Pacific and Asia trapped in poverty for generations.

“My heart hurts for Tonga right now,” Jenny says. “We are blessed with so much and helping others is the motivation.”

It isn’t the first time she’s done something a bit unusual. Jenny is a local hairdresser working on Heritage Crescent and some years back gifted her time

and skills to a group of missionary women at a conference in Papua New Guinea.

She flew over and gave each woman a haircut.

“After the weekend, I spent the week cutting their families’ hair,” Jenny says. “I cut in outdoor venues, on balconies and even in toilets.”

More recently she travelled to Thailand after being invited to use her hairdressing skills to help local prostitutes. Andre and their boys joined her on that trip with all of them also spending time with youth in prisons.

Both trips left Jenny with an increased awareness of people’s need and the desire to help.

The idea of fighting generational poverty is close to Eve’s heart. Growing up in Estonia, she says she wasn’t poor but certainly knew what it was like to not have

“If a family is already poor, it is hard to break out of it,” Eve says. “You can’t just throw money at them. You need to give education and equipment.”

Having never been an exercise person, she was inspired

by Jenny walking the Oxfam 50 km last year. To put the distance in perspective, a walk from Wakefield to Murchison is just 97.3 km.

The Oxfam walk will take place on 26-27 March. To donate go to oxfamtrailwalker. org.nz/t/scrambledlegs

The cuppa with a friend may look a bit different if Omicron spreads, but plans are in place for it still to happen.

Top of the South Neighbourhood Support (TSNS) is planning virtual cups of tea, zoom meetings for their members to join together.

“It can be quite isolating at home if events stop,” manager Maree Dunlop says.

She hopes these online meetings will foster regular discussion similar to what you would have down the road meeting a neighbour.

“It’s that more surface level social support,” she says.

Maree says that those conversations may be the only chat a person has in a day.

“You never know if for the person you smile at, or make those exaggerated eye movements over your masks, it may be their only meaningful connection that day.”

Neighbourhood Support chief executive Tess Casey says social connection is a fundamental human need.

“Perhaps more now than ever,” Tess says. “Neighbourhood Support are encouraging people to make sure they have someone who they can check in with each day.”

She says there’s every chance that over the next while people could find that their usual support networks, such as family and friends, may not be available to help in the case of required selfisolation.

Meet your new Mako co-coach Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

A member of the original Tasman Mako in 2006, Dan Perrin’s passion for the side has seen him land the top job for 2022.

Dan says he is relishing the chance to return to where his professional career kicked off.

“I have always wanted to coach where I played and Tasman is the union that gave me an opportunity as a player, so to come back here and give back as a coach is something I’m really proud of.”

Mako number 27, Dan has been involved in some of the most successful sides in the country as both a player and coach.

Dan played for the Huia and Wanderers clubs, before making 29 appearances at hooker for Tasman. He coached the Tasman U19’s from 2018-20 then stepped up to the Mako ranks for the past two seasons.

Dan began his coaching career with the Wanderers senior side.

“I just chipped away learning my trade and was lucky enough in the last couple of years to spend a bit of time with Tasman as assistant forwards’ coach in 2020 and forwards coach in 2021.”

He has also served as an understudy to Jason Ryan at the Crusaders for the past three years.

“To be able to learn off him just gives you confidence you are heading in the right direction.”

Dan is now set to utilise the knowledge he has gained as he steps out of the background and into the spotlight.

“The hard work has paid off.”

He says he will look to be himself

and coach through personality.

“I will have to control it though and not get too excited at times.”

With two titles in three years, Tasman now must cope with the tag of perennial favourites.

“We are a successful union and have a bit of expectation around us, and so we will just need to carry that success.”

Dan will take on a co-coach role alongside Marlborough-based Gray Cornelius.

“Gray is an outstanding coach and I am excited to work with him.”

Owner of the Mad Butcher in Stoke for the past eight years, Dan is no stranger to connecting with people.

“I am proud of what my wife Nikki and I have built up and we love getting to know people.

“My wife and two young daughters love the Mako, so it’s fins up all year round in our household.

I think I have got the balance between work, rugby, and family right and they are backing me 100 per cent, which is awesome,” he says.

Third triathlon title for Squance Peter Gibbs For someone who doesn’t train as much as he used to, Ruby Bay triathlete Hayden Squance is having a pretty good season.

Since taking up his first job teaching at Tasman School, Hayden has stopped training with a pool group and no longer works to a daily programme from his old coach.

However, that didn’t stop him taking his third national triathlon title in Canterbury recently.

Hayden won the national title over the Olympic distance in 2018 and followed it up with what he regards as his best result, the 2020 half-Ironman title, raced in Wanaka.

The Canterbury Classic Triathlon and Duathlon (2022) was billed as the Tri NZ Suzuki National Champs for Standard Triathlon, Duathlon and Aquabike.

With so many titles and descriptions it was a challenge to write it down, let alone compete in it.

Hot day in the bay

New chapter for volleyball in Tasman Jonty Dine Not only has volleyball managed to keep its doors open to players throughout the pandemic, but it has also been one of the few codes to see growth over the two years of sporting disruptions.

Local volleyball has not only survived but thrived and has seen a staggering 18 per cent growth in player numbers.

This comes on the back of the amalgamation of Nelson Bays and Tasman Volleyball as the sport looks to cement itself as one of the major sporting codes in the country.

The joint forces have created Volleyball Tasman, a venture between Nelson, Marlborough, Buller, Kaikoura, Golden Bay and the West Coast.

Secretary/treasurer Pam Brodie says the merger has invigorated them after receiving unanimous support from the

other clubs.

“It has taken two years to get here but it is an exciting time.”

Pam says despite the difficulties of Covid, the game has continued on.

“We have managed to keep our doors open and have done our best to keep the kids playing.”

Since the 2020 lockdown, no local indoor volleyball events have been cancelled.

Volleyball Tasman development officer Josh Ovsenek says this was due to their willingness to innovate.

“We do things differently and found creative ways around running when a lot of the other sports saw it as too difficult,” says Josh.

Josh says keeping the lines of communication open between management and players was also crucial to continuing.

“People have felt safe and comfortable to come along and play. We tried every which way

Angela Govier

to make things happen which is why we have had such a positive uptake.”

Pam says they are very proud of the fact player numbers have risen.

“We have continued to grow, we are the only growth sport in the region, but we just don’t get the recognition, we have to do it the hard way, but we do it successfully.”

They say this was made possible through the concept of strengthen and adapt.

Ways in which the code adapted to the times included the introduction of a draft league.

“You don’t have to have a team and can sign up individually, similar to how you would do an NBA draft.”

The concept proved successful and has already seen Southland Volleyball adopted the draft league system.

“We are leading the way in a lot of things,” says Pam.

It would have to have been the hottest day fishing I’ve ever experienced. We set off at a reasonable hour up to D’Urville.

By reasonable I mean that Dan went out fishing for a few hours at his usual early bird time, then Miss B and I rocked up to the wharf at the leisurely time of 7am, simply hopping on board with all our supplies for a night away on the boat.

We shot up the west side of D’Urville, the calm waters making it a quick trip. We had a great morning fishing, getting a good mix of cod, gurnard and snapper. I even caught a lovely surprise kingy which nearly made me jump straight in the water once I was done fighting it to the top - the heat was relentless. Must’ve been about 32

degrees at least and not a breath of wind, the water was like glass. I’d never seen it so calm up there. We went through loads of water and sunscreen and would sneak into the cabin in the shade whenever we could - a bit tricky when we were supposed to be jigging!

Mid afternoon we decided to call it a day and head in for the night, the breeze very welcome as we steamed along. No sooner was the anchor down when the togs were on and we jumped off the back of the boat. It felt so refreshing after that intense heat of the day, so good to wash away the sunscreen and sweat.

We settled in with some dinner (fresh fish & salad, nothing beats it) and a cold drink, watching the sunset - overnighting in a west facing bay a rare treat.

Road through Saxton named after former Richmond, Tasman and Nelson mayor

$100,000 for Covid affected community groups in Tasman

The previously unnamed road through the Saxton Field Complex has been officially named Kerry Marshall Drive in honour of former Mayor Kerry Marshall. An unveiling ceremony was held on Thursday 3 February 2022 to mark the occasion.

We’ve created a new way to assist local groups who have been financially impacted by Covid-19, thanks to a surplus in our Community Grants Fund.

Having served as Mayor of Richmond for three years, Tasman for nine years and Nelson for three years, the road will serve as a fitting way to recognise Kerry’s many years of service to the region.

The proposal to name the road came from Nelson Mayor Rachel Reese, Tasman Mayor Tim King and former Nelson MP Nick Smith in July 2020.

Family and friends of Kerry were joined by Nelson Deputy Mayor Judene Edgar, Tasman Mayor Tim King, Nelson MP Rachel Boyack, Nick Smith, and members of the Nelson and Tasman councils to remember Kerry’s many contributions to the region and country.

Tim said “We welcome the gesture as an appropriate memorial. A road linking the two districts reflects Kerry’s time at the helm of both Councils and the joined-up development that occurred during his tenure in both offices.”

Judene said Saxton Field was the perfect location to recognise Kerry, as much of his work benefitted both Nelson and Tasman, and beyond.

We are seeking feedback until 7 March 2022.

Find more information and have your say at tasman.govt.nz/feedback.

“Kerry’s was a life of community and public service.

We have all benefitted from his tireless work, especially for the arts, sport and conservation, as well as his leadership of our communities.”

Does your pool measure up?

Alongside his time as Mayor for Richmond, Tasman and Nelson, Kerry was also involved in civic life on a national scale.

The Government requires all swimming pools in the country to meet certain criteria and to be registered with their local council.

To help Tasman residents ensure they meet the requirements, we’re offering a six-month amnesty for people to contact us and register their pool so we can check that it complies.

We have hundreds of pools on our register but also know there are many more out there that aren’t on the books.

The pool rules are covered under the Building Act and all swimming pools in New Zealand which are 400mm or deeper must have a barrier restricting access to children under five years old.

He served as President of Local Government NZ, Chair of the NZ Conservation Authority, Chair of the New Zealand Visitor Information Network, member of the New Zealand Geographic Board, trustee of the Cawthron Institute of Science and Technology, Chair of the New Zealand World of Wearable Art Development Trust and Chair of the Tasman Environmental Trust.

Kerry spent the last years of his life at Ernest Rutherford Retirement Village, enjoying walks through the Saxton grounds before his passing in March 2020.

Community Partnerships Coordinator Lani Evans says the pandemic has affected us all in many ways.

Individuals, businesses and community groups alike have all felt its impact.

She says the Council was in the fortunate position of having a surplus in the grants fund that can be used to directly assist community organisations in Tasman who have suffered a monetary loss due to Covid-19.

"Funding is also available for groups who assist vulnerable people and have needed to increase their service because of Covid-19."

Applicants must be not for profit, charity or voluntary organisations who work across our District.

Lani says it is intended that grants will assist in covering the costs of things like salaries, wages, and volunteer expenses.

“Costs that are essential to service delivery, administration and office expenses can also be covered, as well as accommodation expenses, including rent, leases, maintenance, insurances and utilities.”

Requests for assistance will need to be made via the official application form on our website and are open year-round. A typical allocation for each group is expected to be around $5,000.

Applications are now open. Full details about criteria and eligibility can be found on our website, tasman.govt.nz/grants.

STAY UP TO DATE WWW.TASMAN.GOVT.NZ
