Public garden talks begin Phillip Rollo Discussions to have a community garden situated in Richmond will begin this Thursday night.

Tasman District Council environment education officer Rob Francis is hopeful the meeting can get the ball rolling and follow nearly every suburb in Nelson’s lead by creating a garden that enables its community to use to grow fruit and vegetables.

Rob says there has been plenty of interest in the past but admits council has never “canvassed” the interest widely enough. “To be honest, we do all these other things like workshops, gardens in schools, composting workshops and so on, but community gardens may only appeal to a certain number of people,” says Rob. Council has already earmarked a handful of potential sites on private and council-owned land. If the council opts to use its own land it is likely that the garden would be situated on a reserve. It was also open to discussions with NMIT and the A&P Association over the use of land on Lower Queen St. A community garden will only go ahead if there is a committed group of volunteers running it. “If people aren’t committed then there’s no way that council or anyone can carry it. If the community wants it and they can get together then we will support it.”

Rob admits it could be a long process but now was the time to finally get this project underway.

The discussions will begin at the Tasman District Council environment education officer Rob Francis Richmond Library on Thursday at will be holding discussions at the Richmond Library on Thursday 7pm.

New lights make for brighter, safer CBD would not benefit his business but that it certainly makes Richmond a safer place. “I agree with them, I think it’s a brilliant idea that they’ve been put in. We’d finish at 10-11 o’clock at night and it was pretty dark and seedy down there,” says Aaron. “The new lighting has made it feel like a safer place.”

Star & Garter manager Suzie Steel says she had not noticed the lights because all of her work was inside.

Tasman District Council communications manager Chris Choat says the lighting project, which will cost up to $221,000, will be much more energy efficient as well as making the town more visible. “These ones have a life of 70,000 hours whereas the old bulbs only provided 15,000 hours,” says Chris.

There is expected to be an overall energy saving of $35,000 over 30 years.

Richmond’s CBD is now 20 per cent brighter at night time and some local retailers say it makes the town safer and could boost their businesses.

Taste of Egypt co-owner Dianne Lineham says the CBD was definitely too dark prior to the 32 LED street lamps being erected and believes her business will be boosted in terms of security and its increased visibility in the evenings. “Yeah it’s more of a safety thing and it’s probably been good for us, because its lit up more people can see us from down the side of the road.” Dianne also hoped once the weather warmed up that people would be able to eat outside at night.

David Smolenski of Night ‘n Day Richmond says it is noticeably a lot brighter on Queen St and that the street looks “a lot nicer” when are you driving through it at night. “There’s a corner on Wensley Rd and Oxford St that has one of the lights on there and it’s quite a lot brighter than it used to be,” says David.

“There’s a lot more visibility and it should make anyone walking down the street feel safer.”

David says the street was “always a bit dark” prior to the upgrade. However, it would become much more noticeable during winter.

Dance crew fifth in the world

The Car Company Origin Dance Crew is the fifth best hip-hop dance crew in the world after reaching the final of the Unite World Hip-Hop Championship.

Origin Dance Crew, which is an all girls dance crew, travelled to the Netherlands to compete at its first ever world championship last week.

Teams were eliminated after each day with Origin making it through to the event’s final set of performances.

Team manager Gemma Laing, says the highlight was not only representing Nelson but New Zealand as well. “Stepping on that world stage all the hard work, commitment and fundraising was worth it.”

Public will get say on building levies Phillip Rollo The building industry will get to have its say on a building development levies policy for the second time, after the levy’s impact was only noticed just days before it was to be released in the Long Term Plan.

Tasman District mayor Richard Kempthorne says it is important that everyone can have their say on the issue, acknowledging that it was passed through the LTP without much notice from the industry. “They could have actually done that through the Long Term Plan but

the reality was a lot of people don’t look into the detail of the Long Term Plan and therefore they didn’t see it,” he says.

The policy will include a “once paid, always paid” scheme to ensure that once a piece of land has been created, there are no more costs on top of that in the future. At present council can collect fees at three stages; at subdivision, at building consent and at connection to services. According to Richmond real estate agent Ben Cooper, who is a member of a special interest group that was formed as a result of the consultation, says this creates a lot of extra cost for the

end user and more administrative problems from council. “A once paid, always paid system would mean that they are only charged at one of these points and would mean a lot more transparency and certainty in the whole process,” he says. Just weeks after the LTP was released, many industry representatives rallied together under the special interests group to fight the levy change for new home builders and developments that would have removed a 66 per cent first build “discount”.

The changes were quickly ratified by council. However, at the time it left the industry

seething with many reporting clients had pulled out of new home builds because the cost was too high – up to $10,000 more than they were previously told.

Ben says council’s latest decision, to get public consultation on the “once paid, always paid” method, is huge step forward for all parties involved and noted that it should have approached the industry from day one.

“The council staff have been good to deal with to try and work through the issues.

Whilst there is a long way to go in getting the balance right, this is a start.”

Nick brings caravan to Richmond MP Nick Smith is hoping to be “guided” on controversial issues like gay marriage and euthanasia by Nelsonians as part of his annual survey, due to go out this week.

During the first reading of the gay marriage bill at parliament in August, Nick voted against gay marriage but said he would be led by the response of Nelson voters in this survey. “I am disappointed that this first reading vote came up before my annual survey gave all Nelson constituents an opportunity to express a view. I do wish my vote to reflect as closely as

possible the majority view of Nelson people,” he said at the time.

The survey also asks Nelsonians their views on mineral development and making use of New Zealand’s mineral resources, whether euthanasia should be legal and whether locals support a government bill to limit councils’ ability to spend.

Nick says the four issues are of high priority and some are controversial.

He says the local government bill is important for all ratepayers. “Rates have increased by 13 per cent per year in Nelson and 12 per cent per

year in Tasman and the debt of our two councils has trebled to more than $200 million during the last decade.

That is not sustainable. Government reforms to refocus councils’ role are sorely needed.”

Nick has also announced he is starting a new monthly caravan clinic for constituents in Richmond’s Sundial Square on Thursday afternoons.

Nick says this new service recognises the increased population and importance of Richmond. The new service will start on Thursday, November 1, from 2pm to 6pm.

Nelson club cular a t c e p S hosts organ Savings convention Display A South Island keyboard and electronic organ convention will be held in Tahunanui this weekend giving music lovers a chance to scope out the industry’s latest products.

The event is being hosted by the Nelson club and Richmond’s member Warren Fenemor believes it is a perfect chance for organ and keyboard players to share ideas and get a gage on what the future holds for the instruments.

Three separate music stores will be supplying the latest models, yet to be released on the public market.

There will be approximately 100 organ and keyboard players from outside the region attending the convention with one coming from as far as Auckland.

The event begins on Saturday morning from the Tahuna Function Centre on Beach Rd.

Hey, thanks for reading

The Nelson Ark has made Stonehurst Farm near Brightwater its permanent home having been based there temporarily for its last program.

The Ark, which combines dog training with youth support work, will also run its Doggy Day Care business near the farm to help raise funds to continue the organisation’s growth.

It was previously housed at Richmond Park.

Community coordinator Karen Howieson says Stonehurst Farm is a fantastic facility that features a classroom, office and reception area.

Karen says The Ark, which recently held its appeal week, is not just about helping people but also helping dogs. It has brought 70 dogs and people through its eleven programs. “It’s about helping all creatures and our focus is on relationships and building those connections,” she says.

Dog trainer Sue Walsh says priority is given to dogs that are most at risk. The dogs are picked up from the pound and the Nelson SPCA will be adopted into residential homes fully trained after the eight week course. “We take dogs that might not find a home. They are re-homed with a lot of skills and that increases their chances of being adopted.

Fifteen year old Waimea College student Gus Hawkins has just finished the program along with five other teenagers. He says he really enjoyed working with animals. “It’s just such a good environment. In most things I used to feel pressured and not very confident but here you can do your own thing yet be part of a group.”

For further details on programs and dog The Nelson Ark’s Sue Walsh and Karen Howieson show off their new home adoption, you can contact The Nelson Ark at Stonehurst Farm with Waimea College student Gus Hawkins, 15, and on 542 3866.

Artwork goes on the market

enough artwork to go on sale and will be doing so at the Redwood Valley Country Market, which started back up again over the weekend.

The program is completely funded by the parents and they are hoping the sales from the artwork will also help. Some local businesses have donated materials at a cheaper price.

The artwork includes paintings, mosaics and other pieces for the garden. “We’ve been experimenting to find out what type of things would work and everyone is looking forward to selling some of their creations on the market.”

The group is currently looking for more tutors to take art projects. If you are interested, please contact Kathryn Enoka on 544 1808.

The art classes are currently being held in Appleby and were first put together by the parents of the young adults, citing a lack of options available throughout the day once their children had finished school. “There’s nothing to cater for their needs and we wanted to give them a place to be involved in and have ownership of,” says parent and group coordinator Cathy Ellis.

The group, which was formerly called The Shed, has met twice a week for the past year. It now has

Just a thought...

Have you ever felt things seem to be going too fast and are threatening to crash? Or feel like a person who is juggling so many things that you are scared that something is going to fall and break? If we are honest I think we can all answer yes at different times of our life. Sometimes it is because of our own choices, we have taken on too much, while at other times it is because of circumstances beyond our control. Such times can lead to us feeling powerless and fearful.

Fear is something everyone struggles with at different times. We like to portray that we have it all together but as real human beings we do struggle at times. Nelson Mandela when talking about fear suggests we all need at these times to find courage saying; “courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it.

The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”

Occasionally we find ourselves in physical danger. But more often our fears are less tangible things like the possibility of worst case scenarios that

It’s a toy world after all Phillip Rollo A toy library is not a new concept but thanks to the generous support of its volunteers, the Richmond-Waimea Toy Library has kept kids entertained for the past 16 years.

A toy library enables its members to hire out toys, similar to a video store. It also serves the same purpose by being much cheaper than buying toys you don’t even know your child will like.

One of its members, Emily Coe, was unaware of why the toy library came about in Richmond but says the national organisation had been around for a number of years and that there was an obvious need in the community. The RichmondWaimea Toy Library first opened its doors in 1986. A building was purchased from the local hospital board and it was moved to a site provided by the Tasman District Council. Because of its large demand and small premises, the group behind the toy library sought a larger site in 1999.

That site is still its home today, next to the Tasman Tennis Centre, and is four times as big as its

previous base.

New carpet was laid, shelving was erected, curtains were put in to spruce the place up and the toy library was officially reopened by local MP Nick Smith. The only alterations since 2000 has been new puzzle shelving, an exit door, fenced area outside, an issuing and returns desk and putting an entirely new roof on the building.

Emily says its success continues today. “The best thing about it is that it’s so cheap but you can get really good quality toys that you perhaps wouldn’t usually buy for your child.”

The enormous range of toys is what the toy library has been known for and it caters for children of all ages. “You can come in and get something for your baby and then get a bike for your older ones. Plus there’s also the fact you can try stuff before you buy. You look at stuff on the shelf and think it’s so cool but then your kids might not play with it, which is lucky you didn’t spend so much money buying it at the shop.”

Your child never gets bored and there are favourites they’ll always come back to.”

What began as a “laugh and a joke” has now become one of the Konica Minolta Nelson Cycle Festival’s most participated and special events.

The Urban X-Country Event sees cyclists loop a four lap course through Nelson College, with cyclists pedalling through the school pool, main hall and down the front set of stairs – something that would usually result in a trip to the principal’s office.

The 2012 edition featured close to 100 riders with a larger field of under-15 riders than in previous years. There was also a “massive surge” of masters riders, which meant the event was split into two different races.

Event organiser Tim Tucker, who is also deputy principal at Nelson College, has been adding different sections to the course every year that it is held, to cater for the growing demand of entrants. “Next year I’m going to have to add more. There’s no doubt that this event is growing. We would have had 70 riders in the first year and we thought that was an awful lot but this year we would’ve cleared 100,” says Tim. Results have not “been the biggest part” for the event organisers. However, Hope’s Dean Fulton was officially the fastest cyclist on the night, taking victory in the open men’s class.

Tim says there are several elements which make racing through the school so unique and believes it is one of the only events of its kind in the world. “I’m not aware of any other urban races in New Zealand. You read about some of them going through Italian cities. It’s just such an interesting setting and the big front steps are always pretty exciting to watch.”

There has never been an accident on the stairs to date, despite some of the riders missing entire sections of stairs. “The first aid guy has a simple brief for all of the riders. He just stands there with a neck brace. It wouldn’t pretty if someone overcooked it big time.”

The course was set up during the week by some of the Nelson College boarders.

Nelson Cycle Festival organiser Chris Butler says events like the Urban X-Country Event enable all cyclists to be involved in the festival.

Because of its location there is only minimal travel involved getting there. “The opportunity to bring some of these events into urban areas like the Nelson City Criterium and this gives the general public an opportunity to be closer to the action and give things ago.”

Most of the events began when the Nelson Cycle Festival started three years ago. Chris says every event as grown significantly since then.

The next events on the cycle festival calendar include Friday night’s Nelson premiere of the film Premium Rush. Moviegoers are encouraged to cycle to the 8pm screening. Tickets are

$20 and include a glass of wine or juice on arrival.

Tickets are available at a2b-ecycle on South St in Nelson; The Tasman Wheelers Woollaston, Edwards, Neudorf 68 km Course on Saturday; the “Milk & Honey” Road and Mountain bike Race in Takaka on Sunday and the Gentle Cycle Brightwater Vineyard Ride.

Gr wing Things

With Robyn Hollis

It is hard to believe that this is the second column for October. I really do not know where the year has gone! Well, there is just so much to do in the spring garden it is hard to know where to start but I do know that in my garden is my favourite place to be. After yet another deluge of rain last week everything is looking fresh and clean and even the winds have not really bothered anything. The cherry blossoms have been outstanding and the cornus (dogwood) flowers are holding up well and just smothering the trees. My favourites, the Japanese maples (to which I am slightly addicted…) are all in lovely fresh leaf and do not seem to have suffered much of the dreaded “die back” that can affect these from season to season. If you do have a branch that appears to have died just cut it back and the tree will respond well.

I would like to say a big thank you to those readers who phone, email or even stop me when out walking with the Cruze and tell me how much they enjoy the articles and also ask a bit of advice. I have even found new neighbours. When I was asked about compost the other week the lady who called discovered that I walked past her place regularly. She popped around to inspect my new “rotating” compost bins – which are working very well – and we enjoyed a cuppa and a chat and a stroll in the garden, very enjoyable. The bins do work a treat and the added bonus is the very good “worm tea” that leaks from around the centre. Johnno went out and sourced some flat plastic bins, which we slide underneath and we then can collect this rather rich brew. It is a bit “on the nose” sometimes but as they say “if it don’t stink, it don’t work’! My plants are certainly not complaining.

As I was wandering around the garden with a friend yesterday, I thought I would list for you some of my favourites which are really looking great at present. Mainly they are the smaller “filler” type perennials and low growing shrubs that are so important to add layers of colour and texture (I know I do go on a bit about this – sorry!) How-

ever, I will always maintain that layering plants in a garden to give it a really full and balanced look makes a major difference to the overall effect.

Heucheras - These come in a range of colours, purples, green spice, marmalade, lime rickey to name a few and every season brings a new one onto the market. Great in sun or part shade and they look good all year round.

double pink blossoms. Also great next to or under cordyline “Red Fountains”. This will take sun or part shade and a tidy in autumn is all it needs. Geranium – “johnsons blue” – one of the quintessential cottage garden plants that thrives under roses, but it also teams well with hebes, flaxes, choisyas, and other native plants. Grows to 30 cms high and blooms for many weeks. Needs well drained soil, in sun or light shade and only a cut back once in the autumn.

Thisks wee

convolvulus cneorum – silver bush – don’t be put off by the name! – this a stunning bush with beautiful silver grey foliage, pink tinged flowers opening to dazzling white.

Hardy and easy to grow it needs good drainage and is well suited to most sites. It looks great under maples and is forming an excellent border along my drive with olives and black flax. Euphorbia polycroma – old fashioned cushion spurge – There are numerous euphorbia’s on the market now but this is a favourite perennial one. It forms a neat dome of bright lime green flowers and is looking great under the prunus “shimitsu sakura” with its’

• Weeding and feeding is the go at present.

Watch for pests starting to come out of the cold.

• Snails are about, so keep an eye on your tender new veges – drown them in a saucer of beer, or use a snail bait.

• Break up and divide mint now-I always recommend growing this herb in pots. Replant in fresh mix and you will have new mint in no time. Lamb was on the menu at our place for the Labour weekend visitors and just had to be served with fresh mint sauce made with a touch of lemon juice and zest.

• As for the rest it is a case of “hurry up and wait’! My tomatoes, capsicums etc are all looking to get in the ground and are getting very tired of being taken in and outside. They will be waiting until the end of the month as the ground temperatures are still too cold to risk planting them out just yet.

Hope you had a great Labour Weekend with family and friends, We certainly did…

Team ready to master the Pacific

The Tasman Thistle master’s football team is heading to the Gold Coast in Australia for the Pan Pacific Games.

The Tasman Thistle side is made up of players from FC Nelson, Richmond Athletic and two guest players from Christchurch.

Four players from the Tasman Thistle side have previously attended this tournament

but decided to form a new team for the 2012 competition. “We didn’t do very well last time so we wanted to come again,” says team spokesperson Andy Morris. “We’re going to win, that’s the aim. If things turn to custard and we get a lot of injuries well at least we’re still playing on the Gold Coast and we can have a good time.”

The tournament begins on November 4 with the schedule comprising of one match each day for just over a week.

The calibre of players is actually quite high, says Andy. “There are some retired A-League players. We only have the Wellington Phoenix here; there they have a whole heap so when the

players retire they come to masters.”

The Tasman Thistle team features players that have played as high as national league level in New Zealand. The majority of them are now playing in the local third division. However, there are a handful of division two players and at least one has played first division this season.

Car wash boosts team’s travel fund

The Salisbury School basketball team is holding a car wash in the Richmond Mall car park this Saturday from 9am to 11am as it looks to raise funds for a trip to Christchurch early next month.

The team’s initial travel fund was reduced so it has had to use its initiative to fund more of it themselves.

The car wash will have other benefits for those that visit it on Saturday with prizes such as Lonestar vouchers, Tasman Makos merchandise, signed Nelson Giants basketball teams and a signed Steve Williams racing jersey all up for grabs just by getting your car washed.

The car wash is situated at the Talbot St entrance of the mall.
