Love tennis Affordable housing proposal declined

Local scout lodge at risk

Bruno Saia

Nelson Nayland Avion Scout Group took it over and began transforming the site from a shed into a camping facility. With over 40 years of use and little maintenance, the Gilbert Lodge became run down. By the mid-2000s, it was no longer in a safe and useable condition. Demolition was considered as it was thought to be too dilapidated to save.

A Richmond family is devasted by the Government’s decision to decline their affordable subdivision proposal. Jason and Ange Mudgway are the directors of Mudgway Construction. In June 2019 they decided to turn their lifestyle block into an affordable housing area, as a way of giving back to the community.

The proposed affordable housing area would be built on their land on the corner of Main Road Hope and White Road, and the sections, which would be on average about 511m2, would be capped at $295,000. They could start as $240,000, with overall costs staying below $500,000.

After months of waiting, on the 26 August, they had access to a letter from Housing Minister Megan Woods, addressed to Mayor Richard Kempthorne, declining their proposal. “In her letter, she basically said, ‘just go through the Resource Management Act process and get a resource consent’. That’s not that easy and very expensive so the affordability would be gone. Affordability was the whole point of this,” says Jason.

The newly-renovated Gilbert Lodge, which has been used by local scouts for more than three decades, is facing financial ruin after funding fell through leading to it owing $40,000 to a local building company.

The renovations of the lodge, sit-

uated up the Wairoa Valley at the back of Brightwater, have led to a cost blow-out, putting the future of the lodge in the balance.

Now, the volunteers that run it are reaching out to the community for donations to keep Gilbert Lodge open for future scouting generations.

“I have seen many hundreds of children and adults experience Gilbert Lodge,” says Pete de Jong, secretary of Friends of Gilbert

Lodge. “It’s a terrific resource for the Nelson-Tasman region.

It allows children from 5 to 18 to experience the outdoors, interact with their peers and gain the confidence to reach their full potential.”

The lodge was once a shearing shed until the farm was closed down in the 1960s and the land transferred to the Department of Conservation. After being used by the Nelson Girls Brigade, the

Local scout lodge at risk Affordable froM PAGE 1 The lodge’s saving grace came in the form of a group of ex-Scout leaders and parents who banded together to establish the volunteer-run Friends of Gilbert Lodge in 2005.

“We’ve had incredible support from many organisations over the past decade. This funding has allowed the lodge to be brought up to standard and many new features added, enriching the experience for hundreds of young people,” says Pete.

It was the recent veranda work where the financial problems began. Partly funded by a trust, an expected funding stream did not eventuate, which has meant a shortfall of money coming in to cover all the costs. The result is that the volunteers from Friends of Gilbert Lodge now owe $40,000 to a local Nelson building company.

“Over this past year we have exhausted all our options, but unless the money can be sourced, we may

be required to sell Gilbert Lodge to another organisation. It would be a significant loss to the Nelson Tasman region if it is sold, not to mention a hugely disappointing end to 14 years of work,” says Pete.

A decision is expected to be made in late October and Friends of Gilbert Lodge have given themselves until then to find the necessary funds.

A Givealittle.com fundraiser has been set up to raise the $40,000 needed to pay the building company.

“We’re hoping this fundraiser will appeal to the network of ex-scouts who experienced Gilbert Lodge, as well as anyone who values having facilities like this for young people in the region. We’re appealing to the local community to generously donate to help keep Gilbert Lodge open for future Scouts,” says Pete.

Businesses interested in contributing to saving Gilbert Lodge can contact Pete de Jong through pete.dejong@ xtra.co.nz or 021-790775.

TDC funding to Bush Trust Bruno Saia The promised boost of $117,000 from the Tasman District Council to the Snowden’s Bush Trust is now official. A letter of commitment dated 20 August confirms that the council will back the Trust fundraiser.

“The Council’s Community Development Committee gave consideration to the Snowden’s Bush Trust’s request for a financial contribution towards the purchase of a 3,500m2 area of land in Brightwater,” says the document signed by Richard Hollier, Council’s Manager Reserves and Facilities.

“We effectively have gotten further than before, which also gives us what we need to apply for a grant of similar amount from the lotteries commission, leaving the remaining 33% of the purchase price to the community and other grants,” says John Baker, who is a member of the Trust. According to John, to date, they have had $12000 of donations and additionally other promissory notes.

The Snowden’s Bush Trust started its quest last week to raise $350,000 within 12 months so it can purchase a piece of land near Brightwater to gift back to the community.

It was created by a group of Brightwater residents concerned that the 3,500m² area was going to be turned into a housing development. The group of residents set about saving it by buying and donating the land to the Department of Conservation. Snowden’s Bush is one of the last surviving native lowland bush areas of the Waimea Plains. It covers over five hectares on Waimea West Road and is a rare example of the podocarp forest that once covered much of the area.

Everyone is invited to donate through its website: www.snowdensbushtrust.nz.

Readers with good eyesight will notice that there is an unusual symbol on Brightwater’s road upgrade detailed design. On the areas designated for pedestrians, there is also a symbol of a chicken. This is a nod to the five street lights in 1908 which were controlled by hens going in and out of their hutch. The weight of the hens going in for the night would turn the lights on and when they left in the morning it would turn them off.

The man responsible was Robert Ellis. In the early 1900’s he used

a water turbine-powered electric plant to light and heat his home in Kohatu. When he moved to Brightwater he bought the flourmill which he converted so it continued to make flour during the day and at night supplied power to households from Wakefield to Tahunanui.

Ten lights in Richmond were also controlled by the hens. Robert Ellis believed that others should benefit from his small power plant and it was this, with his interest in electricity, which made the citizens lives safer and more comfortable.

answer.

Government needs to help Councils free up more land, enable inner city housing intensification, and help fund housing infrastructure.

We need to increase competition and innovation in building materials. We need to train more building apprentices. We need to speed up and reduce the costs of building and resource consents.

We need to build more state houses and partner with organisations like Nelson Tasman Housing Trust and Habitat for Humanity for more social housing. We need emergency housing programmes for people in crisis. We need schemes like National’s Homestart that have helped

over 60,000 nationally and 2,000 locally with grants of up to $20,000 to help with the deposit for people buying their first home.

Labour was bragging last week that they had no regrets about their Kiwibuild promises as it was clever politics that helped them get into Government. I despise such cynicism. I would rather lose Government telling the truth than win Government telling a lie. Dr Bryce Edwards, political scientist from Victoria University stated “Having won power in 2017 on the basis of promises like Kiwibuild it would be apt if the Labour led Government lost that power in 2020 because of their failure to deliver.”

Major mayoral issues Bruno Saia and Susan Johnson The TDC (Tasman District Council) mayoral elections are coming and the Waimea Weekly editorial team decided to ask some of our readers: What is a significant issue the new TDC mayor should focus on?

We had a few main subjects pointed to by our readers and all four candidates made a 100-word comment about each of them.

The first subject was: “The infrastructure, with the population continuing to increase the streets in the CBD are already congested.”

Agnes Dodson (Richmond).

Tim King timbking4@gmail.com Providing infrastructure is the core role of council, it is where most of your rates are spent and councils debt is generated. Council must continue to invest in water, wastewater, stormwater, transport (including roads and cycling and walking connections) as well as recreational facilities including parks and reserves. The other key role is to work with NZTA on roading issues around the Richmond lights, High Street Motueka and the corridor to Nelson City, and other providers like Chorus and Network Tasman to

ensure the whole range of infrastructure meets our community’s needs.

Maxwell Clark medimax@xtra.co.nz The issue in the CBD with the congestion is occurring through the traffic flow pattern in the ‘surrounding areas’, primarily Salisbury Road and Gladstone Road, Lower Queen Street – Wakatu State Highway.

As mayor I would work with the NZ Transport Agency to address the ‘constant gridlock’, especially at the lights and Gladstone and Lower Queen Streets and Wakatu Highway. The gridlock is pumping excessive CO2 into the air from heavy traffic and cars.

My way forward, so that traffic in both directions should ‘flow constantly’ without stopping, is to take out the traffic lights, build a fly-over road system as has been done at Moncaco in Stoke over the Wakatu highway. Redirect heavy trucks and trailers (only) down Beach Road into a slip lane to join other traffic on the highway, in a separate lane at the freezing works intersection.

Brent Maru brentmaru@gmail.com As Mayor of Tasman, the most significant issue will be the forming of a new

WEDNESDAY 11 September 2019

Council, a one that will be a mix of experienced and new members, with councillors of differing views and backgrounds.

To meet the many challenges ahead, whether they are financial, the dam, or environmental will require robust, diverse debate, from a governance team that is respectful, has high trust, is willing to work collaboratively and is committed to transparency.

Leading Council means ensuring decisions are transparent, our community have a high level of trust and engagement with us, but more important that the ratepayers see Council as being relevant.

Dean McNamara dean@tdcme.nz I agree with you that congestion is a problem in Richmond. One of the issues is the establishment of businesses that are not providing suitable parking for their staff, which needs addressing.

Another issue is that we are in a period of transition. It would be shortsighted of this Council to provide large areas of parking when we are on the verge of self-drive vehicles that do not need to park centrally while their owner shops or works. Fossil fuel is on the way out and electric-powered personal vehicles (bikes, mobility vehicles, scooters) are on the increase.

Karel Wallace (Nelson - back), Ruby Geraghty (Tasmania - left) and Val Oliver (Richmond - right) enjoy the Saturday night dinner at the Teapot Valley Christian Camp. The Commemoration Weekend of the arrival of the Skiold immigrants to Nelson took place on its 175th anniversary. This was based at the Hope Community Church and St John’s Lutheran Church in Hope.

Preloved fashion on show for Hospice Kate Russell Reporter

Some of the best second-hand fashion finds in the region will be on show next Friday night all for a good cause.

The Preloved Fashion Parade is a fundraiser for the Nelson Tasman Hospice and is being organised by Nelson Haven Lioness’.

Wearing preloved clothing from the Richmond hospice shop, 12 models will provide the main entertainment for the evening at Club Waimea, along with local musical acts and stalls.

“The models will wear two outfits each, which they have picked out with the help from

our hospice shop volunteers,” says Margaret Ching from the Lioness’.

“We’ve been working on it all year. It’s the first time it’s ever been done here and a fun way to show the great clothes you can get from the hospice shops.”

Nibbles and drinks will also be provided for in the ticket price and a cash bar will also be running.

“For $25 it really is going to be a great evening,” adds Margaret.

“Everyone knows someone touched by hospice, so we encourage people to support it. If it’s a howling success, we’ll do it again next year.”

Fundraising and marketing manager for hospice, Hudson

Dodd, says they appreciate all the hard work going into the event.

“It’s great to see the Lioness’ coming together to put on this fun event for a good cause.

Community-organised events like this are the life blood of Nelson Tasman Hospice’s fundraising,” he says.

“We’re grateful for all the efforts by the organisers and the models, as well as the businesses supporting the Lioness’ vision.”

The Preloved Fashion Parade is on Friday, September 20th at 7pm at Club Waimea in Richmond. Tickets are $25 and available from Lemon Tree Lane in Stoke, Nelson House of Travel and the Richmond Mall service desk.

Ladies Friendship Club’s 30th birthday Susan Johnson One of the oldest clubs in the region, the Ladies Friendship club, turned 30 this week. The chairman of FNZI (Friendship New Zealand Incorporated), Graeme Pierson flew up from Christchurch to present them with a certificate.

He took great pleasure in the celebra-

tion and congratulated the club “for their continuing support of the FNZI and for what it stands for, and for keeping the spirit of friendship, fellowship and fun alive.”

To mark the 30-year anniversary, those present at the celebration wore pearls and even their royal highness’s turned up. The Queen (president Jeanette Sutherland) presented seven

Unfortunately, numbers in the clubs nationally are falling and Jeanette believes that Tasman is particularly hard hit. “I think that with the increase of

retirement villages who provide their residents with entertainment it means that people no longer feel the need to join clubs like ours.” she said.

Originally a club for profes-

sional woman, the Friendship Club is a place where ladies 50 years plus can join together for outings, such as film trips and lunches and to hear guest speakers.

Bruno Saia Around 60 male singers will show all the power of their voices on the 28 September at the Nelson College for Girls.

The New Zealand Male Choir Gala Concert will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the group whose members come from Bluff to Northland, including Nelson.

“When the first NZ Male Choir was formed, from the core Nelson Choir, before they left the shores to go to Wales on a tour, one of the things they did was to visit the Marae for a Powhiri. We decided, with the twentieth anniversary, to do the same,” says Nelson member Norman Phillips.

The concert will start at 7:30pm with guest artists from the Nelson Male Voice Choir, Allison Cormack (soprano) and Douglas Couchman (cornet).

Tickets are available at www.ticketdirect.co.nz and at the Theatre Royal in Nelson, for $30.

On Sunday (29 September) the group will also sing for the Nelson Community at the Christ Church Cathedral as part of the church’s morning regular service.

They will also perform some pieces from their own repertoire.

“Joining services at cathedrals and churches is also something that we’ve done traditionally.

When we perform in locations such as Napier for Art Deco we also sing in the Cathedral. It’s open to the public, anyone can go there and we sing as part of the service,” says Norman.

More information about the New Zealand Male Choir is available on their website (www. nationalmalechoir.co.nz), including music samples, complete history and the list of all members.

Local school children’s tree planting Staff Reporter School children from across the top of the South Island were planting trees in Coronation Forest on Spooners range last week.

It’s the 65th year planting at the forest has happened, with the third generation of children taking part in the programme.

The Coronation Forest was the idea of Arnold Cork who was the Senior Agricultural Instructor for the Nelson Education Board in the early 1950s.

“He realised that forestry was destined to play a major role in the New Zealand economy and thought that the best way for children to appreciate this was for them to be involved in their own forest,” says Nelson Forests Ltd’s Heather Arnold.

In 1953, the first year, schools were given a supply of tree seeds to establish their small nurseries to raise seedlings to supply tree stocks for planting at Coronation Forest.

The first year of planting at Coronation Forest was in 1954 and covered six hectares of Douglas-fir planted by 712 children from 20

t lec e Re

schools from across the Nelson region. Since then, planting at Coronation Forest has occurred every year. Heather says about 300 children take part each year.

“Nelson Forests Ltd staff and contractors look forward to the event each year, with the workers involved volunteering to be part of the day, running activities and acting as guides for each school group, as well as cooking sausages and milo for the children.”

The forest was named Coronation Forest as it was the year Queen Elizabeth II was crowned.

Heather says there were many Coronation Forests set up nationally, but she thinks the Richmond one is the only one still active.

On Monday, 74 children from schools in Nelson, Tasman, and Marlborough took part in seedling planting, plantation studies, and a conservation walk through native bush in the forest. Every day this week, other school children are also expected to take part, depending on the weather. Brightwater School Year 6 students who took part on Monday were positive about the day, saying they recommended other students take part.

Just a thought...

David Jensen Pastor “Of the vulnerable and exploited in our world, the unborn child is the most innocent of the innocents….” anonymous “…Everyone today agrees that the baby in the womb is human – biologically, physiologically, genetically human…virtually no professional bioethicist denies that life begins at conception” Nancy Percy “If the unborn are NOT human beings, then no justification for abortion is necessary. If the unborn ARE human beings, then no justification for abortion is adequate or reasonable, not now, not ever” A Vink“You created every part of me; you put me together in my Mother’s womb.... When my bones were being formed, carefully put together in my Mother’s womb, when I was growing there in secret, you knew that I was there – you saw me before I was born” Psalm 139:13-16Hi everyone, I want to briefly touch on the very sensitive subject of abortion.

Firstly, I want to make clear that I am not here to judge anyone. A friend of mine captures my heart in this matter when he says “I don’t condemn or judge the mothers

who have an abortion. I do abhor a society that condones abortion, says it’s acceptable to kill a premature baby … I judge a society that does not offer enough help with alternatives to termination”, Amen!

What many are unaware of is that abortion is legal here in NZ (for numerous reasons) provided that the pregnancy is no more than 20 weeks old (see the NZ 1977/78 amended Crimes Act, also Family Planning’s - abortion what you need to know). Now the reason why I mention this is because the 2019 Abortion Legislation Bill unfortunately portrays abortion as a criminal offence! It isn’t! In fact, the total number of legal abortions performed in NZ hospitals and licensed clinics in 2018 was 13,282 - that is 36 terminations each day The Government’s present Abortion Legislation Bill seeks to allow for abortions to take place FOR ANY REASON AT ALL up to 20 weeks (a pregnant woman will be able to refer herself to an abortion clinic without even having to see a doctor), and then after 20 weeks if approved by a medical specialist.

What many of us are deeply saddened by is that there is literally nothing in the new legislation that advocates for the rights of the unborn child, even up until birth.

Local musician’s struggle to play Bruno Saia Reporter

bruno@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Alex Hinchliffe is a 14-year old local musician whose dream is playing at the Trinity College of London Rock & Pop exams. For that he needs money. That’s why he decided to start busking in Richmond. But he has a problem!

“I started playing guitar when I was 11 years old and have performed at numerous school talent shows and seasonal end of term concerts for my music teacher, and am currently working my way through the London Trinity Rock and Pop Guitar Exams. To help me fund the exams I thought to myself, ‘Why don’t I try busking?’ It took me a couple of months to pluck up the courage to do it, as I was kind of nervous. I was happy playing on a Saturday for 45 minutes and now this has been taken away from me,” he says.

In March he started playing in front of Kmart in Richmond with the authorisation from the tenants of K Mart, Columbus Coffee and The Warehouse. However, a couple of months later another busker appeared with a keyboard

and played in the same spot that Alex had been using on a regular basis. “He was playing six days a week for 4-6 hours a day and wouldn’t move, he wouldn’t even let me play for half an hour,” says Alex.

According to his mother, Amanda Rowe, “Several conversations pursued with the other busker regarding his unwillingness to act fairly within the busking etiquette guidelines. Having failed in our attempts to reconcile the issue with him, we contacted the property owner, Gibbons,” she says. “Their initial response was that they assured us someone would come out and speak to the keyboard player and try and work out an amicable solution for all parties. I even suggested that Gibbons implement the same guidelines as the TDC busking bylaw, which states that buskers must move on after 2 hours. Over several months of correspondence, I was led to believe that they were considering this,” she says. However, several weeks ago Amanda received a response from Gibbons. “They said they had a management meeting and decided to cease all busking in the Upper Queen Street De-

I sent a letter to CEO Scott Gibbons, asking if he would reconsider the decision, but he has ignored my suggestions and failed to respond to my communication.” says Amanda.

Having had to suffer the disappointment of being banned from busking at Gibbons properties at Upper Queen Street, Alex used his initiative and sought to find alternative locations. He contact-

ed TDC and applied for a busking permit, which he was granted. He has tried busking on two other occasions on Queen Street, but the vibe and energy is not as prominent as it was in his previous location. This has now forced Alex to attempt to find a position in Nelson, as Richmond no longer seems a viable option.

“He might help to bring people into businesses and shops. I

would be happy for him to play outside my business,” says Maree Jeffreys-Bryant, who has been Alex’s music teacher for almost three years. “Alex is a great musician. He is getting more confidence all the time. He’s got a good voice. He loves to sing, and he is developing the guitar with his voice, and he’s got talent. He is a great guy. He wants to get his guitar playing up to an even better standard by sitting the exam.

The exams are not cheap. Trinity is based in London, so the examiners come all the way from England. Busking will help him build up his repertoire and deal with the public,” says Maree.

Amanda believes “The stance that Gibbons have taken, to effectively ban all busking, doesn’t reflect as quoted on their own website, the community values they profess to uphold.” She says “All Alex wants is for Gibbons to reconsider their decision to cease all busking and implement guidelines so that everyone gets a fair opportunity to perform,” she says.

The keyboard musician was no longer where he used to play and that’s why he was not contacted.

Gibbons were approached but refused to comment.

Nelson Marlborough District Health Board I have Chaired NMDHB since 2010, in this time we have provided more health care each year and improved our services and outcomes for Maori and vulnerable people. There is still much to do.

I enjoy the challenge this role has given me and my passion for health and my community drives me to continue to try and make a difference..

The future of healthcare in the Top of the South is positive. We have wonderful, talented and caring staff who are well motivated to provide top quality care.

Yes, Health is big business and can be challenging - new technologies, an informed public, an aging population and always a tension of financial constraints, maintaining buildings and ensuring our workforce are innovative and up-to-date. We are planning a new Nelson Hospital that will provide modern care in facilities that staff and patients deserve.

If re-elected I will use my energy and expertise to maintain momentum on this 50 year project, ensuring we have a facility we will all be proud of.

I have served on the Nelson city council as Mayor for 9 years, deputy Mayor for 6 years and represented Local Government NZ at a national level. I also have extensive community experience and am currently a Board Member of the Nelson /Tasman Cancer society, Chair of the Tahunanui Business Association and a Trustee of Te Matau, a proposed Marine Educational Centre.

I believe I can bring that experience to the Nelson/ Marlborough District Health Board.

I have a history of connecting policies and people, ensuring a pathway to a successful conclusion.

The health sector has many new and demanding issues to face including an ageing population and increasing diversity of cultures and lifestyles. One of our major challenges is to unite the wider health sector, share available resources and deliver a better outcome for all.

I look forward to your support to ensure we have an experienced senior voice at the table.

I feel extremely fortunate to live the NMDHB area. I am proud of the health system we have which delivers great services but there is more to be done to continue to meet the increasing needs of our community.

With the prediction that demand will outstrip our ability to meet the healthcare needs of our community, we need to support innovation within and beyond the DHB. The people living in our district hold the key to solutions that will ensure we all live well, stay well and die well.

We need to work with local service providers, our iwi and members of our community to address inequity, make it easier for people to make healthy choices for themselves and their whÄ nau, and create a safe environment for us to work, play and live in.

As a lawyer, quality advisor and improvement scientist, I have spent most of my adult life improving the experience of, access to and quality of healthcare services. I want to use my experience and skills to support our DHB to meet the future.

I have lived in the Top of the South since 1973. Prior to settling in Nelson in 1990, I lived in Blenheim for many years. I am passionate about ensuring people who live in the Nelson/Marlborough DHB region have good health and wellbeing. My background is in emergency rescue and air ambulance, most recently as CEO of Life Flight (Air Ambulance and Rescue Helicopter) Trust. Having been closely involved with medical professionals in the emergency air ambulance sector I have gained valuable knowledge of the clinical pathways that provide best patient outcomes. I continue to be involved with the emergency sector as a Trustee and board member and have integrity, experience and knowledge. New Zealand has a great health system but improvement is needed due to stress in the system and inequities of access, especially for Maori, Pacific Island and rural communities. The current Health and Disability Review will present significant challenges for DHBs in implementing change. I am pleased this review is addressing important areas such as identifying those people not accessing proper care and focussing on wellbeing. Our DHB has an important part to play in improving access to primary health care and thereby reducing hospital admissions.

A duck and dip kind of day for winter fest

Motueka/Golden Bay 03 528 2088

By Tim O’Connell While the rest of the South Island encountered rain, snow and pestilence it was typical Tasman sunshine at Kaiteriteri Beach on Sunday as hundreds descended on the shoreline for the Riwaka School Mid-Winter Festival.

Bands, performances and the standard array of hot and tasty food made for a welcome way to spend a winter morning, while children were entertained by bouncy castles, mini jeeps and trains as well as a big dig for

prizes around the golden sands.

The main attractions of the day were the mid-winter dip and the duck race, both of which drew plenty of entries from locals and out of towners keen to support Riwaka School.

Fairies, bumblebees and superheroes were among the costumes on display as the swimmers gathered for the former.

Jeanette Clark from Lower Moutere was found in pre-plunge contemplation of the icy fate that awaited her.

“Everyone has their bucket list

of things to do, and this is one of mine,” she said.

With the tide in for the 11am start of the dip there was a very short run from the shore to the ocean, leaving the hundred or so brave folk who entered little time to chicken out.

Admirably, a handful managed to remain in the water for an extended period of time to milk the moment, although it should be noted that most of these people were female.

For the rest however, the sequence of events once sub-

merged was akin to someone abruptly hitting the rewind button on a DVD. The duck race was a slightly more drawn out affair, yet attracted just as much interest as the earlier event, although it wasn’t long before the nature of inanimate object racing set in and a good portion of the entered ducks were soon bobbing listlessly in the lagoon, Speaking to the Guardian after an extremely successful day in the sun, Riwaka School Principal Fraser Campbell was ecstatic

with the public response to the event.

“There was just a real good buzz around the place and a real connection between the community and school,” he said.

Showing leadership and immense fortitude, Mr Campbell took to the water for the dip along with Deputy Principal Katherine Sefton, a feat which he says was “better than coffee”.

The Mid-Winter Festival raised close to $9000 for the school, a total which is believed to be up on previous years.

NEW PREMISES 42 Oxford St in Warring Carpark It’s been 11 years since McGlashen Pharmacy was first established on Queen Street in Richmond, and this week marks the start of another exciting era for the business with the opening of its new premises on Oxford Street in Richmond. “It’s good to be in a purpose-built and modern building which we have been fortunate to add our own touch-

es to,” says Andrew McGlashen who co-owns the pharmacy with Scott Fry. “We are grateful for the help we’ve received – our landlord Tony Lindbom has enabled us to have the design the way we wanted it to be; it’s great to have the chance to implement what we envisaged. It looks fantastic – we are very pleased with the way it’s turned out, especially given

the regulations we need to abide by so it functions as a pharmacy should. No doubt our customers will be really pleased with the outcome, especially in regards to accessibility with ample carparks at the front and rear of the building, plus there’s the whole of Warring Carpark in close proximity.” Andrew says within the new premises they are seeking

to consolidate the pharmacy services they provide and enhance their customer’s experience. “For example, rather than just solely having retail options out the front, we now have two consultation rooms to provide the extra services that pharmacy is seeing more and more of. Things like warfarin (INR) testing and vaccinations. The drop-in nature of pharmacy and its cliental lends itself to increased accessibility for these services.”

“We are looking forward to working alongside Richmond Health Centre, facilitating the best of care for their patients, whilst also continuing to take care of our current loyal customers from all other local medical practices and of course we are also excited to welcome new customers.”

Andrew, Scott and the team at McGlashen Pharmacy are looking forward to showing customers their fantastic new building which is well-positioned in its central location at 42 Oxford Street, Richmond. “We are still finalizing our carpark and there are still a few finishing touches to take care of over the coming weeks, but otherwise we are definitely open for business!” Andrew says that apart from the new location, everything will be pretty much business as usual. “You will still be greeted by the same friendly staff who go out of their way to make sure that we provide the best possible service

to our customers.”

Andrew and Scott would like to express their appreciation for the efforts of Glen from Fitzgerald Construction in ‘pulling it all together. “We have also enjoyed working with the sub-contractors who have been very accommodating, helping us achieve what we needed to within the required timeframes. There have been a large number of people going above and beyond for us and we are certainly very grateful for their efforts.”

Wakefield Pharmacy refit Scott and Andrew co-own three pharmacies – McGlashen Pharmacy, Fry’s Pharmacy and Wakefield Pharmacy. “In the coming weeks we will also be refitting Wakefield Pharmacy and giving it a new look. We have really enjoyed fantastic community support since we have taken it over on July 1st this year and we are really grateful to the community for accepting us in. Our vision of the future is to provide the very best healthcare for them.”

Ageing Gracefully Bays Dentures has a 5% special offer for you Daniela Steenpass of Bays Dentures is celebrating a special milestone this year – she has now been in the dental industry making dentures for 25 years. To celebrate this milestone, Daniela is offering a 5 % discount on new dentures until end of September. It’s a great opportunity for you to renew your old dentures!

Having a new set made has many benefits. You will have less painful sore spots, the fit is tighter and more comfortable, it becomes easier to chew with them, there will be less food getting trapped underneath them. Or maybe the dentures are just worn down and you want to show a bit more teeth!

“I used to work for a local dentist in Nelson for 10 years, making all his dentures, then I came to a point where it seemed to get boring, because there was nothing more I could learn, so I did some further study at the

dental school and for the past three years I have been selfemployed making dentures and really enjoying it.”

Accordingly, Daniela has had a lot of happy clients over the years with great results and positive feedback. This is what Daniela’s clients say: “The fit is most comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. You have made the whole procedure a pleasant experience and I have no hesitation in recommending your work. Thank you again.” Daniela says, “my clients like the calm, friendly atmosphere at Bays Dentures; it is also modern and private with easy access.”

Before you miss this great opportunity, make a booking for new dentures and phone Daniela on 03 546 4455. For more information, visit www.bays dentures.co.nz Bays Dentures is located at 41 Washbourne Drive, Richmond.

two years old, as well as Raffles as Toto. The staff are all volunteers.

The Players are a nonprofit community-run company that has been around since 1955. “Our first show was as “As long as they’re happy” and we’ve been entertaining the community ever since.”said John Amosa.

Originally for children,

the company now includes adults. “The parents would drop their kids off and see how much fun they were having and join the company,” Dierdre Johnson says.

The profit from the show on the 14th will be donated to the Fred Hollows Foundation in memory of the late Philip Calder who was one of the com-

pany’s actors. On Friday and Saturday nights, the audience will be invited to bring their own picnic and will be seated at tables. With candles, the decorations and a show it promises to be a magical night. Shows are between the 13 and 21 September.

Aiming to kick sugar for touch Charles Anderson

In a first for New Zealand rugby, the region’s health board has signed up with the Tasman union to become its official health and well-being partner.

Nelson Marlborough Health (NMH) has replaced the union’s former partner, Coca Cola Powerade, and

will see the Mako players promote health initiatives.

As part of the three-year, $15,000 deal, the Tasman Rugby Union will encourage positive health-related decisions and behaviour among its stadium audiences, club rugby communities and schools.

Its focus will be on the reduction of sugar consumption, the promotion of smoke-free

environments, alcohol harm reduction and promoting mental well-being and resilience.

NMH chief executive Peter Bramley says the partnership is an “innovative and powerful” public health initiative.

“As the official health and well-being partner of the Tasman Rugby Union, we can leverage the influence that Mako players have

among youngsters in our region. We can also use the reach the TRU has into clubs, schools and the wider community, to inspire positive health decisions and behaviour.”

He says the sponsorship is a “prudent investment”, even amid revelations that the health board is in a $20 million deficit.

“It costs as much as $5,000 to

NMIT’s ‘bite-sized’ qualifications to address critical skills shortages NMIT is partnering with industry on new bitesized qualifications aimed at addressing skills shortages in the workforce and empowering people to retrain quickly and cost-effectively.

Micro-credentials are small, stand-alone qualifications that certify the achievement of specific skills or knowledge.

“These short courses are designed to help learners acquire the skills they need, when they need them,” says NMIT Executive Director, Customer Experience and Excellence, Sue Smart A micro-credential can help people attain industry-specific skills to enter the workforce quickly. They can also help employers to retrain and upskill staff in response to changes in the workplace.

Micro-credentials are much shorter courses than traditional programmes, typically running for just a few weeks. They can be created with flexible learning options to make them suitable to fit study around work or family commitments.

NMIT is looking to partner with businesses to develop micro-credentials to help address critical skills shortages.

“Partnerships ensure that NMIT’s micro-credentials are focussed on what New Zealand workplaces need now and into the future,” says Mrs Smart.

“Businesses can use micro-credentials to get current staff up-tospeed with changes in the industry, to anticipate technological developments in the future, and to quickly train new recruits for specific roles.”

NMIT’s first microcredential is Introduction to Artificial Intelligence for Society and Business. It’s a 10-week programme where students learn the three main techniques used in AI today and how to apply them in a range of contexts. The micro-credential is NZQA quality assured and is recorded on graduate’s Record of Achievement.

At Pennants 2019, Central and Northern teams round-robin tournament were played over

Twenty teams from Waimea Harriers, Nelson Athletic and Marlborough Harriers enjoyed the fine sunny weather on Saturday for the annual relay on the Great Taste Trail from Motueka to Mapua. While the relay course is divided into four laps of approximately 6.5kms and the majority of the teams had four walkers or runners, there were some two-person teams and even a few solo runners. The winning team, ‘Karl Malones’, as the name suggests was made up of local ‘posties’.

Craig Harford, Rick Miller, Brad Richards and Gary Marshall demonstrated their level of fitness on Saturday by completing the course in 2.01.27hrs, 5 minutes ahead of their nearest rivals, ‘Jo Plodders’ from Marlborough. The ‘Waimea Wanderers’ of Alan West, Simon Biss, Elaine Llewellin and Suzanne McIndoe must have ‘wandered’ fast as they were the first walking team over the finish line at the Mapua Sports field in 3.38.46hrs.

WEDNESDAY 11 September 2019

End of season for Richmond AFC’s Stu Reid Three senior leagues and two cup finals, not a bad 2019 season for the Richmond Athletic AFC seniors.

The cups were held at Saxton Field on Saturday with RAFC fielding 4 teams in their respective finals. Both Richmond Hornbills sides were upset by their opponents, both losing in extra time 4 – 2.

The 2nd division Hornbills were up against a physical Motueka team who were, going into extra time at 2 – 2, just too strong for the Richmond side. Club golden boot Thang Thang Vanuk was marked out of the game and kept off the score sheet, and Motueka scored a further 2 goals to win the Gould n Tout 2nd div cup 4 – 2. The Global

Wings Travel Hornbills 3rd division team had a very similar game, coming back from 2 – 0 down to finished regular time 2 – 2. However once again, their FC Nelson opposition got the better of them in extra time, eventually going on to win the AR Hurst 3rd div cup 4 – 2.

In the other 2 finals however, the results were completely different. The Tasman Auto Electrics Richmond Bogans were determined to finish their season on a high and taking on 4th division league champions Suburbs Miki D’s, found themselves 1 – 0 early on after a powerful header from Kelvin Heiford. The Richmond lads fought and held on until the final whistle and were incredibly happy with their win to grab the Greg Brown Memorial 4th div cup.

At 3pm the Women’s 1st div cup was played between FC Nelson and the Hothouse Richmond Foxes. The Foxes hadn’t dropped a game all season and after such a great year didn’t want to lose their last one. With a well thought out game plan, the Richmond team were too strong for FC Nelson, and finished the game in regular time to win the cup 4 – 1. Women’s golden boot Maryann Cant picked up a hattrick, with the 4th goal being scored by Megan Hodgson.

The club are happy with all the results throughout the year and would like to thank their sponsors for all their support. The club has its annual junior and senior prize giving at Jubilee Park this Saturday (14th) at Jubilee Park.

Seven year old Freddie Persico set Nelson history as youngest indoor bowls player ever to win a Nelson Centre championship.

On Monday, three generations of Persico’s, together with Shirley Deerness, from the Wakapuaka Club, won the Nelson Centre Champion-of-Champion Fours title.

Johnny Persico skipped his father Fred, Shirley Deerness and his 7-yo son Freddie to a historic title win, with many milestones being

achieved in the process, together with history being made.

But the real star on the day was Johnny’s 7-yo son Freddie who played at lead in the team, and who held his own all day against his opposition.

It was a real joy to see such a young player so keen and excited to play bowls, and this is what indoor bowls needs more of for the future.

In winning, Freddie set a new Nelson record by becoming the youngest player in history to win a centre title at age seven – sensational.

Local love tennis weekend is a hit Bruno Saia The ‘Love Tennis’ weekend went on through the eight tennis clubs all over Nelson/Tasman and it was a hit.

“We had a little over 880 people come onto courts around the region,” said Ali Telford, Regional Coordinator from the Nelson Bays Tennis As-

sociation. “We were delighted with the turnout, lots of families came to spend time on courts together. This is a testament to our club committees getting behind this event, they were all on board to create a friendly and inviting atmosphere,” she said.

Exchange students Zoe Vasseur from Belgium and Nan-

ami Tanaka from Japan spent a few hours on Sunday at the Richmond Tennis Club and they appreciated the experience. “I love it because I can practice tennis wherever I want, I can meet some new people, ” said Zoe. “I love that we can play tennis with different people, it is so fun and I really enjoyed it,” said Nanami.

HAVE YOUR SAY

Climate and coastal hazards consultation extended We’ve extended the closing date for feedback on how we should deal with climate change and rising sea levels – submissions will remain open until 27 September.

We need to prepare for long-term change. We’re working on a project to enable our Tasman Bay / Te Tai o Aorere and Golden Bay/Mohua communities to work towards long-term adaptive planning for sea level rise and coastal hazards. While the rate and magnitude of future sea level rise is uncertain, we do know that rising sea levels will have increasing implications for development and infrastructure in coastal areas along with environmental, cultural and societal effects.

In September we will engage with the District’s young people on this project. It’s important that we get youth feedback as the decisions we make today will affect them, their children and future communities. We’ve extended the feedback period until to enable younger members of our community to have their say. Survey participants who are 24 years old or younger will go into the draw to win a UE Wonderboom bluetooth speaker.

Head to tasman.govt.nz/feedback for more information.

Big Bike Fix Up Saturday 28 September, 9.00 am – 12.00 pm, Saxton Field.

Come along and help fix one up to take home with you. Cycle mechanics will be on site to make this happen. Coffee cart, free snacks and the bike blender to make your own smoothie! A koha would be greatly appreciated. Register by emailing kym.smith@ncc.govt.nz.

For details of our current consultations, head to tasman.govt.nz/feedback.

Earthquake-prone buildings – have we assessed your building?

In 2017 new legislation came into force requiring every Council to identify any potentially earthquake-prone buildings in their area. It’s important the buildings we use on a daily basis are safe, and the new rules are intended to help protect people’s lives should an earthquake strike.

We’ve begun working on identifying potentially earthquake-prone buildings in Tasman District by checking buildings in the parts of Tasman that are classified as a high seismic risk area. That area includes St Arnaud, Murchison and south of Foxhill and Tadmor, including Belgrove, Kohatu and Motupiko.

The law doesn’t require us to assess most single-story residential buildings (except some specific types, such as hostels), farm buildings, or retaining walls, fences and the like.

If you are the owner of a building that we have assessed, you will have received a letter letting you know whether your building is considered earthquake-prone or not.

We’ve done our best to check every building in the high-risk area – but we know it’s possible we’ve missed some. If you own or are a tenant in a building within the high-seismic risk areas and you don’t think we have assessed your building, please get in touch to let us know.

Remember, most single-story residential buildings and farm buildings do not need to be assessed. Find out more on our website, tasman.govt.nz (search phrase: earthquake prone).

We want to make sure buildings in Tasman District are safe and strong for those who live, work or play there.

Contact us: If you think we may have overlooked assessing your building(s), please contact us: • By phone on 03 543 8400 • Email info@tasman.govt.nz • By post 189 Queen Street, Private Bag 4, Richmond, Nelson 7050 • or at any Council office
