Great exposure for photographer Alfie

Pictured is Alfie with Teressa Hosie and Barbara Phipps, Teressa was Alfie’s Year 6 and 7 teacher. “Alfie brought a whole new dimension to the class. He brought out the caring in the other children. It was a privilege to have Alfie for two years,” she said. Barbara has been Alfie’s teacher aid. “Everything Alfie’s learned he’s learned from Barbara,” said Jane. Alfie’s Mum, “He’s made me a better version of myself. He’s enriched our lives,” said Barbara. Presently Alfie is spending some half days at Garin College.

By Jane WellsWhat a delight it was to walk into the Mapua library

last Wednesday night and to be greeted by a smartly dressed young man who immediately took me around and introduced me to everyone present. This pleasant young man was 13 year old Alfie Linn who has Down’s Syndrome. The occasion was the opening of his photo-graphic exhibition, his photographs are mostly of local scenes and they’ll be in the library for one month.

As with most exhibition openings the invited guests nibbled and wined as they strolled about chatting and admiring the artist’s work and then Alfie read from his prepared speech….

“Hello everyone Welcome to my photo exhibition I hope you like my photos, I have a photo up at the Jellyfish too, thank you for coming. Eat drink and

be happy.”Jane Linn, Alfie’s mother then spoke…“This exhibition highlights just one of Alfie’s many

gifts and talents. He represents all people with special abilities and we have chosen to show case his work to credit him and others who are striving to have accept-ability in a world where credibility is sometimes difficult to come by if you have a disability. You are all here because we believe you to be the special people that have helped Alfie move forward in his plight for suc-cess.

If Alfie could communicate clearly this is what I think he would want to say to you this evening. “Every day I wake up smiling and full of joy (unless I’ve lost my wand) to a new day, an exciting adventure.

People say I have a disability and some people think

that defines who I am.To those people I would like to say – first I am a boy,

full of energy and mischief, a boy with many gifts. Yes I am special and I have needs, but don’t we all. My life is full of challenges I know – but with support from special people like you my challenges are a lot easier to face”

Alfie, often seen biking about the town with his camera slung over his shoulder, has already had success. He’s been taking photos for three years. He won first prize in the Under 15 section at the Sarau Photographic competi-tion in February and he has one of his prints on the wall of Mapua’s popular Jellyfish Restaurant. Alfie’s photos have been commissioned for cards, website images and have featured on calendars

A special occasion for a talented young man. A visit to the Mapua Library is a must.

Mapua’s Architecture AwardTwo small structures in the Mapua Waterfront

Park have been recognised with an award. The New Zealand Institute of Architects judging panel gave awards to the toilet block and the services building and shade area at the park as part of the 2015 Nelson-Marlborough Architecture Awards. The buildings were designed by Jeremy Smith of Irving Smith Jack Architects. Tasman Mayor Richard Kempthorne acknowledges the part-nership between the architect community and Council. “Mapua is now one of the district’s prime

destinations for locals and visitors alike. The space is now a tremendous asset for the community and the award caps off the transformation of the once industrial wasteland.”

Game On! Registrations are open for the nine-day sports festival - this year’s NZCT

South Island Masters Games in Nelson which is as much about having fun on and off the field as it is about competition, which runs from September 26 to October 4. There are 40 sports to choose from, ranging from the social to the serious. They include three new sports – waka ama, stand up paddleboarding and indoor triathlon. Rita Merriman, who is heading the Sport Tasman team managing the festival, says the new sports add spice to an already varied programme. It also includes social activities such as a quiz night and twilight 400 – a mix of mini golf, ten pin bowling, table tennis and smallbore shooting.

Early registrants will be only $47, saving $18. Fees for individual sports – have been kept affordable to encourage people to enter multiple events. You don’t have to qualify or be part of a club to enter, you just need to meet the minimum age requirement and for most sports that’s 30 to 35. “We know people attend for the camaraderie and to enjoy some time out in addition to playing sport and we encourage you to do the same,” says Ms Merriman.

Hands Across the SandA world-wide event opposing dangerous deep-sea oil drilling, will take

place locally this year at Kaiteriteri Beach at 12.00 noon on Saturday 16th May. You are invited to join with others for a gathering promoting a healthy liveable planet. For the fifth year running, the Motueka based group 'The Renewables' welcomes you to show solidarity for a movement towards clean renewable energy solutions, to transition away from detrimentally polluting fossil fuels, to say no to deep sea oil drilling and no to fracking. “Let them be a thing of the past and bring in the safe solutions for clean air and water and a stable climate for our earth” says 'The Renewables' spokesperson Vanessa McBride. Hands Across the Sand is a world-wide movement made up of people from all walks of life who want to send a message to our elected officials to tell them we care about our earth and future generations. It's about the protection of our coastal economy and ecology, oceans, marine life (consider the Maui dolphin close to extinction), our fisheries and our land. We’ll open with a karakia, proclaim our intention, and unite on the beach - rain or shine at 12 noon. Bring a picnic, let’s enjoy the beach together,” More information is available via [email protected] or on facebook.com/TheRenewables

WEDNESDAY 13 MAY 2015 3

By Tim O’ConnellLast week saw the worldwide cam-

paign to keep our kids safe and motor-ists aware in full swing, with schools in particular doing their best to instil the ‘stop, look and listen’ ideal into the impressionable minds of their charges.

Locally, Motueka South School took the opportunity to get in on the action while at the same time raising aware-ness of an ongoing safety issue right outside their gate.

The activity undertaken by junior and middle school students on Wednesday morning was in support of United Nations Global Road Safety Week from 4-10 May, including 'Giant Walk' events involving local schools around New Zealand.

The week was being coordinated by road safety charity Brake, with support from a range of other agencies.

“Slow down for Mot South School” was the chant that went up from stu-dents as they temporarily comman-deered the zebra crossing on High Street to hold up signs, Zebra cut-outs and stage several walks across the High Street pedestrian crossing near the school entrance.

Motorists took the coordinated delay with good humour with most offering a cheery wave or toot after the orange lollipop barriers were released.

Hopefully they were a little wiser as well.The crossing is one of several within the

Motueka town boundary and the first to be encountered by drivers when entering the resi-dential area after leaving a 100 km/ hour zone on the highway.

Motueka South School Deputy Principal Linda Beatson believed that the zone certainly required some attention being drawn to it and having Road Safety Week taking place offered a prime opportunity to do so.

Mrs Beatson said “We planned the Giant Walk event to draw attention to the High Street pedestrian crossing, just beside the school. Our students need a safe place to cross the busy main road, so motorists must slow down and prepare to stop, as they approach the crossing. You wouldn’t believe some of the unsafe driver behaviour we see!”

Speaking to students before the Giant Walk got underway, it was clear that the importance of the activity had got through to the students.

“We want to show people that they need to watch out on the crossing- sometimes they just keep going through and don’t stop for us,” said 9 year old Sanne Appleby.

“It can be dangerous- a little boy got run over here once,” added Lexie Peychers, also 9.

Room 4 teacher Deanna Ferguson said she had been pleased with how the students had responded to the task and stressed that the pur-pose of the walk was just as pertinent to grown-

ups as it was to the smaller population.“I don’t think some people actually know the

rules around crossings, so that’s why it’s good to do something like this today and when we’ve got a good amount of traffic around,” she said.

While students got great delight from the many truck drivers giving a blast on their horns as they passed by, the sheer number of heavy vehicles that used the road demonstrated the possible dangers that faced children when negotiating the crossing.

Mrs Beatson said the school faced a dual chal-lenge when it came to ensuring child safety with the entrance on Courtney Street also presenting its share of hazards.

Most notable of these were the build-up of parked cars reducing child visibility at drop off/ pick up time as well as bus activity and the proximity to the ambulance depot just across the road.

However it was the High Street crossing that had been the biggest area of concern for a long period of time now, and Mrs Beatson hoped that Wednesday’s excursion would draw some addi-tional attention to their plight.

Specifically, she believed better advance warn-ing signage and visibility of the crossing would go some way to address the issue.

Motueka South School would like to thank Krista Hobday from the TDC for the loan of their zany zebra props.Pictured: Above- Ella Brereton and Teliana Cocker show us what the walk was all about.Top right- Motueka South take to the cross-ing to make their point.

Street talkThis is the first time in history that all New Zealanders will have a say in the design of the nations flag. Do you think it should be changed?

Cheyenne Motueka“It does look like the Australian one- we should get a new one that doesn’t look the same as theirs.”

Leia Motueka“It represents the people who went to war for us- if we change it then we’re forgetting them”

JackMotueka“Keep the flag- no point in chang-ing it because its fine the way it is with what it repre-sents.”

Corey Motueka“Either Australia or New Zealand should change flags- but we need one more suited to who we are”

By Tim O’ConnellExpect Nelson Bays Police to show even less tolerance for drunk

motorists in the coming weeks, after a frustrating weekend saw six local drivers picked up for being over the limit.

Half of those caught were in the Mapua area alone.At the larger end of the scale, three of the six who were stopped

over the weekend blew over twice the new limit of 250 micrograms of alcohol, with one person- a 26 year old male from Motueka- blow-ing an incredible 909 micrograms to be three and a half times over the new limit.

All three had their licences suspended immediately.One 59 year old male driver was found to have blown 304 micro-

grams and subsequently was deemed over the legal standard to be in control of a vehicle.

Under the new laws this would normally result in a $200 fine and loss of 50 demerit points.

However, Sergeant Rob Crawford said the level of intoxication in most cases suggested that the new laws surrounding the legal limit haven’t made for any other touch and go scenarios in this instance.

“It is a huge concern to us.”Sergeant Crawford said ‘there was no rhyme or reason’ for the

offending, given that no specific events were taking place that would lend to more people taking such a risk after drinking.

The disappointing number of people caught over the limit last weekend coincided with a dire two days on the nation’s roads, with ten fatalities recorded, something not lost on our local authorities.

“Drink driving is a huge contributor to fatalities on our roads and we don’t want to see any from our region,” said Crawford.

Due to the apparent failure of local drivers to show common sense when it came to getting behind the wheel after drinking, enforcement of drink driving laws around the region will be increas-ing in the near future at least.

DO YOU WANT TO WORK IN:

By Tim O’ConnellOvercoming the twin

barriers of money and partnerships was the main focus of celebra-tion as the primary drivers and backers of the proposed Cultural Centre at Motueka High School signed the dotted line to pledge support for its development.

Principal Scott Haines hailed Friday’s event as ‘a really sig-nificant day’ that had been over a decade in the making, having been first floated by the Board of Trustees in 2003.

Thanks to the gen-rous support of a number of benefac-tors $464,000 has now been raised which brings the total raised beyond the threshold required before the school can apply for the final grant from the Department of Internal Affairs.

“Sometimes when you climb a lofty mountain, it’s good to sometimes stop and have a look at the view, and today is recognition of that,” he said.

“This project will happen.”As well as the partnerships forged to enable

funding thus far, Mr Haines also acknowledged the support of over thirty organisations around New Zealand who had provided letters of sup-port.

In particular, Mr Haines paid tribute to the CEO of the Ministry of Education Peter Hughes who offered a personal endorsement of the project.

Testament to the importance of the project not only to the school but as a regional facility, the signing ceremony was also attended by West Coast Tasman MP Damien O’Connor and Te Tai Tonga representative Rino Tirikatene as part of a concise Manuhiri (visitor) entourage of just under 20 people.

Having previously visited the school several weeks back to get a heads up as to what the centre would offer, Mr Tirikatene said he believed that the centre promised some real benefit for Maori students and their whanau.

“It’s a good coming together of all the groups within the community and I can see that it’s going to be a great facility,” he said.

“As one of the local MP’s it’s always good to come here and to see a few of the old chiefs here today.”

A signing of things to come

The powhiri and signing ceremony took place at the tennis courts, with a good turnout of Motueka High Students offering their appre-ciation for what lies ahead should the funding target be met.

After speeches and waiata from both sides of the floor, during which Mr Tirikatene gifted a Kohatu (stone) from the Arahura River to the School, it was down to the focal task of the afternoon.

Representatives from ITM, Wakatu Corporation, Canterbury Community Trust, NBS, Ngati Rarua Atiawa Iwi Trust (NRAIT) each signed documents to confirm their sup-port, before all and sundry reconvened to the staffroom for refreshments and further celebra-tion of the day’s achievement.

It is believed that this is one of the big-gest education investments ever made by the Wakatu Corporation.

With the required one-third of funding for the $1.2 million Centre- set to be located on a site near the Whakarewa Street & Grey Street inter-section of the school- now secured, the next step is to approach the Lotteries Commission facilities committee in the hope they will provide the balance.

Confirmation of this final grant will be known by June, after which construction would get underway for an expected completion date of April 2016.

Making it all offi-cial at the sign-ing ceremony for the Motueka High School Cultural Centre last Friday was Howie Timms of NBS Motueka (Standing) and Philip Woolf, General Manager of ITM.

By Tim O’ConnellTwo senior students at Ngatimoti School have

earned the opportunity to immerse themselves in the underwater world after winning prizes in a national marine biology competition focusing on our Marine Reserves.

As part of the curriculum students were taken on a double-header field trip to observe the con-trasts of sea life inside and outside of the marine reserve environment, under the guidance of local Experience Marine Reserves Coordinator Megan Wilson.

The initial snorkelling trip was at Little Kaiteriteri, with a follow up to the Marine Reserve at nearby Tonga Island.

All senior students were provided with a marine reserve activity book which they were then invited to fill out as best they could.

Year 7 student Josefin Lerbs was deemed to have created the most in depth completed book-let and subsequently won a return water taxi trip around Abel Tasman National Park.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Jessie Riley trans-lated her experience into art to create a drawing which won her the regional honour to attend a trip to Poor Knights Island Marine Reserve.

Uninhabited since the 1820s, the Islands are part of a 2400 ha nature reserve and popular underwater diving spot, located 50 kilometres north-east of Whangarei.

Jessie is one of 10 students nationwide who will have flights and accommodation on the trip north paid for in full as they get to snorkel around one of the country’s more pristine on May 22.

While quietly pleased with her efforts when The Guardian spoke to her last week, further inquiries revealed that Jessie was in fact dancing around the lounge when told of her win in the competition.

Both say they have become more interested in marine biology as a result of their research and were surprised with what they found during the snorkelling trips with one particular close encoun-ter adding to the excitement.

Undersea adventures lead to marine reward “We found a stingray- I heard everyone talking

about seeing one but I didn’t know what it was until I got right beside it,” said Jessie.

For Josefin the booklet took three weeks to complete, while Jessie finished her masterpiece inside three classroom sessions with a few small touches done at home.

“What’s important is the actual criteria and what they found is the attention to detail- there’s a huge amount of detail in this picture,” said the girls’ teacher Kathy Stephens.

“Basically, it shows what impact we have on this world, environmentally.”

Ms Stephens believes that Jessie’s prize is unprecedented for the vibrant School.

“We’ve had bikes won, but never anything like this.”

Ngatimoti School Principal Ali Turner believed the prizes were a fitting reward for the pair which correlated with a persevering attitude shown in class.

“We’re super proud of them- they’re two deserving kids who are prepared to put the work and effort in,” she said.

Equally pleased with the girls success was fel-low teacher Steve Dunn, who himself imparted plenty of knowledge having previously participat-ed in a Royal Society Fellowship which focussed on scallop population.

“I’m very pleased for them- I’d be even more pleased if they’d invited me to go along with them,” he said.

EMR is a national programme of experiential learning about marine conservation, providing the equipment and expertise for a hands-on learning experience in the ocean.

Since its introduction in Northland in 2002, EMR has expanded to be sustainable and active in 7 regions with a team of 19 coordinators nationwide.

EMR has guided snorkel experiences in marine reserves around New Zealand involving 20,000 students.

Poor Knights Island is the destination for lucky Ngatimoti School student Jessie Riley (right) after her poster entered in a regional competition won her a trip to the Northland Marine Reserve at the end of May. Josefin Lerbs’ (left) marine reserves booklet won her a free water taxi trip around the Abel Tasman National Park.

90 year old Motueka twins together again By Jane Wells“God told me to go and be with Olive a couple

of months ago ,” said Gladys Kelly when she was living in Nelson. And just in time as Monday the Kelly twins celebrated their 90th birthday in style with all their friends, family members and the staff at a High Tea at Jack Inglis Friendship Hospital where they both reside.

The sisters are back in Motueka together after being parted around 60 years ago when Gladys went off to Mangarakau to teach and Olive mar-ried and became an Orinoco tobacco farmer’s wife.

They were born, much to their mothers’ sur-prise and delight, as she was expecting only one baby, at Motueka’s Cottage Hospital in 1925. “It’s two girls! It’s two girls!’ their father shouted from the car window as he drove down the High Street. The twins had three older brothers.

At seven the girls decided what they’d do when they grew up. Olive wanted to be a shop lady and Gladys a teacher.

Both achieved their ambitions. Gladys, a teacher for years , is the oldest by ten minutes, and she continues to take an interest in remedial reading. Not so long ago she wrote books espe-cially for illiterate prisoners.

Olive has a good memory for her earlier life and the sisters chatted about the Murchison Earthquake, the three big fires - Thompson and Hills Jam Factory, the two shops opposite the Swan and the big one when the Post Office, a hotel and a grocery store went up. And the bri-gade which was small with few volunteers, and the fire bell that would ring and could be heard all over town, but recent events confuse her.

Imagine Gladys’s surprise when she dis-covered one of her ex-Mangarakau pupils, Pamela King (right), was also a resident at J.I.F? They enjoyed a High Tea as part of the twins’ 90th birthday celebrations.

Twin sisters, Olive Thomason and Gladys Kelly huff out their birthday candles. Fortunately they didn’t have 90 each to blow out!They’ve been together at Jack Inglis Friendship since Gladys arrived from Nelson last month.

A Motueka fraudster described as a ‘parasite’ of the advertising industry, leaving many out of pocket locally and around New Zealand has finally been handed a custodial term for his years of offending.

Local businessman Anthony John Hendon (54) has been sentenced today in the High Court at Wellington following a Serious Fraud Office (SFO) prosecution.

Mr Hendon received four years imprisonment for reproducing docu-ments with intent to cause loss - charg-es resulting from a major joint investi-gation with OFCANZ, the Commerce Commission, New Zealand Customs and Inland Revenue, led by the SFO.

Mr Hendon played a lead role in a scam where advertisers in genuine publications were approached to place similar advertisements in publica-tions to be printed by Mr Hendon.

To encourage purchase, the magazines were titled in a way that sug-gested support of worthwhile causes such as road safety, parenting or family support.

Mr Hendon grossly misrepresented the number of magazines to be printed and failed to circulate those magazines as promised.

Mr Hendon attempted to obtain more than $1 million under the scam between October 2009 and October 2012 and successfully obtained funds in excess of $750,000.

SFO Director, Julie Read said, "Mr Hendon's sentencing for his part in these offences is another milestone in a very successful joint operation."

Two other defendants have already pleaded guilty and were sentenced to home detention and community work.

Two further defendants were found guilty yesterday and sentencing for the pair is set down for 12 June 2015.

This latest conviction represents the closing of another chapter in a series similar offences committed by Hendon.

In 2002 he was fined $20,000 after pleading guilty to 55 breaches of the Fair Trading Act after the Commerce Commission investigation found that sales agents working for Hendon on commission made false representa-tions in both telephone calls and documentation to businesses that they had agreed to advertise in magazines published by Hendon.

The businesses were then invoiced on the basis of these misleading representations.

In sentencing, Judge Buckton told Hendon, "If you come back before me in relation to any further serious fraudulent offending, I will send you to prison."

By Tim O’ConnellFriday afternoon knock-off drinks for tradies working at a local family’s

Mahana house took on a more appreciative tone last week as the couple put on drinks and a sumptuous array of food to thank those who have helped them build their family home.

Two years ago, 34 year old Tyrell Archibald was diagnosed with bowel cancer, and after months of treatments and interventions Tyrell was initially given the all clear, only to have the cancer return as terminal in October 2014, leaving him with just a few months to live.

With a young family and terminal cancer diagnosis on the horizon, the Mahana-raised builder made it a priority to see that his wife Nyssa and twin daughters Sienna and Dakota had a secure future in the form of a decent domicile.

As word spread of his situation, friends swiftly moved into action to fund-raise and coordinate resources in the hope that the job could be ticked off before Tyrell’s health deteriorated too much.

A Give a Little webpage set up by friends has raised close to $46,000 from 214 donors since it began in November.

The generosity from friends and the wider community has gone a long way, so much so that the Archibalds have been able to move in to their dream home at Mahana after work began late last year.

With such a tremendous outpouring of support to ensure their dream home was built and ready in good time, the small gathering on Friday afternoon acknowledged those who had given time, materials and love to make it happen.

Those present were just a small representation of the massive list of benefactors that had facilitated the effort with numerous sports groups and volunteers complementing businesses in offering their services.

National media coverage had also extended the amount of support beyond the Tasman region.

As a way of keeping focus during an uncertain time, Tyrell has been well involved in the construction of the home and surrounds as well as numer-ous local businesses and tradespeople keen to lend a hand.

Among the many companies involved were ITM, Placemakers, Meridian Energy and the Concrete Company.

Even 4 year olds Sienna and Dakota have pitched in to help on the tools in recent weeks as several working bees took place to assist in meet the late-April finish originally anticipated.

Now with the house complete and just minor landscaping additions remaining on the project, the Archibalds can finally sit down to survey the finished product and the marvellous vista across Tasman Bay.

“It’s so good to be in and to finally have that day of finishing,” said Nyssa on Friday.

Ever the house proud and conscientious tradesman, while Tyrell is pleased to have this major goal accomplished it seems the next objective is to ensure the property is kept in top-top condition.

“There’s always something to do, but its more than any of us could’ve hoped for really,” Ty said.

Family friend and one of the Project Archibald lynchpins Louise Fry admitted the end result had been brilliant and wanted to thank everybody for putting in such a huge effort in pulling together for the Archibalds.

“Whether it’s been a small or significant contribution made, the generos-ity has been just incredible,” she said.

“I would also like to thank all those that have contributed or donated prizes for raffles and auctions, donations on the give a little website and all the baking and smoko shouts that people have contributed and their time for people with the cabaret show fundraiser, touch tournament, hangi and teams that donated their prize winnings.”

A small thank you for massive help

“Better than we could have hoped for”- The Archibald family sit front and centre amongst a handful of those who have helped make their family home a reality in the last few months.

Ray White New Zealand Ray White (Real Estate) Limited Licensed (REAA 2008) raywhite.co.nz

Congratulations to Billy Kerrisk and the team at Ray White Golden Bay

Ray White New Zealand would like to congratulate Billy Kerrisk and the team at Ray White Golden Bay on their fifth anniversary and their enduring success in the area.With their knowledge, expertise, and strong relationship with the local community it’s no wonder they are market leaders in the area.


“Loving what I do and knowing that it matters”

SelectedBilly headed the “Let’s Get

Plastered” workshop for Breast Cancer Awareness week back in 2009 through the Rural Women network. She did such a fantastic job that not only did “Let’s Get Plastered” go nationwide in 2010 and raise $17,000 for research into the effects of rural isolation on women with breast cancer, but she was headhunted by Ray White! She’s ecstatic about her job. “No-one who didn’t would work the hours I work!” she said.

Wonderful support

Billy heads a great team. Kate Sawyer’s her ‘executive assistant”. “I couldn’t do without her,she’s crash hot on the computer. And Kim Moir is my rock, she’s the person that keeps the office running smoothly and makes sure I don’t go unfed and unwatered. She’s

just great. And as for my Mum Jennie Morris – she doesn’t like to be idle. I couldn’t have opened without her financial support.

And now that I’m successful I can enjoy holidays with her. Last year we went on a cruise and this year we’ve been to Fiji. Her number plate says it all “GO JENI” Her thirst for life and work is inspirational.

25 years on..“My househusband, Darryl is

a long suffering, tolerant and patient man. He has put up with me for 25 years of marriage! I work crazy hours and he takes care of our girls, and makes sure there is a hot meal on the table when I get home.

Above: Billy pictured in front of her array of awards. The Change Award of 2013 is her greatest joy.

“I love being a part of Ray White”

Billy and her team say..“On Thursday 30th April Ray White Golden Bay celebrated 5 years in business. Billy and the team were joined

by both vendors and purchasers, local businesses, other Ray White representatives from around New Zealand plus friends and family. It was a great night and we would like to thank everyone that came along to celebrate with us. We would also like to thank Mike and Jenna from The Whole Meal who did a fantastic job of running the event. Carey Smith, Ray White New Zealand CEO travelled to Takaka especially for the event and we are happy to say that while he was here another Franchise Agreement has been signed for 5 more years, so we can continue to offer you a excellent service and advice for many years to come.”

Ray White’s a family businessA memorable

nightThere was a great celebra-

tion a fortnight ago as Billy celebrated her five years with Ray White at the Wholemeal Café. “Our C.E.O. Carey Smith came down from Auckland and signed me up or another five years. I love being part of Ray White. It really is a family business. Brian White from Australia’s comments are always heart-felt. He’s really proud of us.”

“I’m a deeply caring per-son. Each person and each transaction mean a lot to me. And I feel that Carey and the others care about me.” Billy with Marc Steyn of Ray White Nelson (left) and Carey Smith C.E.O. Ray

A Sydney mentor“My training is awesome. And now I have a Sydney

mentor - my reward for winning the Change Agents Award in 2013. That year my business went from aver-age to awesome. I had to speak at a conference and I was judged by 100 salespeople.

Winning that gave me a day in Sydney with my mentor and now we are in touch by daily emails, I can hook into on-line training and attend conferences.

And he’s not all about business. He’s taught me it’s about work life balance, and since then I take a day off each week which gives me time to pursue other inter-ests.

Each property unique“Properties are as varied as the population, each one

is unique. I like to work with the people at the pace that suits them, the key to a successful business is informa-tion. I much prefer people to be able to make informed decisions.In my appraisals I tell clients the truth and most people opt for either a Deadline Sale or Auction”.

Looking past the price barrier

“I believe that way buyers can see past the barrier price creates and really look at the property’s merits. Then they may put in an offer that’s based on their pocket and the information they have.”

“Every seller is given a regular written report on buyers’ comments. And they may adjust their expectations with this information.”

Biggest asset“I’m known for being honest and upfront. I believe

my job is as important as say a doctor’s. I’m assisting people in selling their biggest asset and they need to know what’s going to sell it, I’m a conduit. I assist too, as much as possible helping with building reports and LIMs. Since 2003 its been a down market. That was the last year there were 200 sales in the bay,since then 100 is the norm ”

“I’m known for my honesty”

Open Door“I have an open door for anyone wanting information

about any local properties. And through my networks I can obtain information about properties in other parts of New Zealand.

Ray White a winnerRay White has had the highest market share in the

Upper South in 2013, 2014, and 2015. Altogether Billy has sold 116 properties.

She reckons her office tucked in the industrial area is in an ideal pozzie where there’s plenty of parking and privacy. She always beats her neighbours to work! She’d love you to pop in sometime.

Another 5 years!

Breast Cancer Awareness - Billy’s passion

A friend lostBreast Cancer Awareness is one of Billy’s passions.

Her concerns about breast cancer stem from her losing her best friend aged 49 to the disease. “I can’t bring her back, but maybe we can prevent others going down the same path.

Early detection is vital to saving breasts and saving women’s lives.” said Billy. This year rather than gather-ing as they have in past at Billy’s office, the increasingly popular Pink Ribbon breakfast will be at the The Penguin Café at Pohara this Sunday between 9am and 11am. Tickets are available at Ray White Golden Bay and at The Penguin Café but they’re selling very fast!

Our Nelson Tasman Hospice is an incredible service available to anyone in the community regardless of age, religion, and ethnicity and there’s no cost. It sup-ports people along the pathway to dying and provides emotional, spiritual and physical support and as much freedom from pain as is possible.

So who can use hospice services? The answer: anyone who has a terminal illness. The

majority of patients have cancer, but patients with other terminal illnesses also receive care (motor neurone dis-ease, heart failure)

Specialists and trained volunteersSpecially trained people are available to liaise with

specialists, to talk to the patient and his or her family and to help families plan for advanced care for their terminally ill member. It can make a huge difference if everyone is prepared for what is likely to happen and decisions can be made about where the patient wants to die - at a rest home, in their own home, in hospital or in the hospice?

Hospice provides services based on the communities needs. They may include in-patient and community care, bereavement care, counselling and spiritual care, day stay care, respite care, equipment hire. And education and research.

The services are provided by a multidisciplinary team and it may include: doctors, nurses, counsellors, occupa-tional therapists, physiotherapists, social workers. Many services are provided by volunteers, such as massage therapy, pet therapy, and life story writing. The cost of care is provided by a Government contribution with the remainder raised from the community through fund rais-ing events

The In-Patient UnitThe In-Patient Unit is a ten bed facility and each room

is private with an en suite. Reasons for admission are varied. It may be for symptom management which will review and control symptoms, as respite care to give patients, families or the carer a break, and end-of-life care.

A wonderful service based on community needsHospice Shops

The Nelson Tasman Region has four Hospice shops which provide a great deal of financial support for the Hospice Service. Each shop has a paid manager and relies on a band of volunteers. Many people new to the area find volunteering a great way to get to know their new community.

The shops rely on the goodwill of volunteers. “Many of the people involved have faced cancer themselves or in their families so they have a special rapport ” said Heather Hoad, Motueka’s co-manager. Here’s the Monday afternoon crew of Pauline, Maureen,Pricilla (front) Julie & Heather.

Will anyone be able to take down Collingwood in the Division Two cham-pionship?

After two rounds of combined competition it seems the team from the furthest ends of the province have become just as difficult to defeat away as they are at home, with another dominant performance handing them a 41-5 victory against Stoke on Saturday.

After leading 17-0 at halftime with the help of a hefty breeze, Collingwood stepped up a gear in the second forty to pile on another 24 points before allowing the Greenmeadows faithful a consolation try after 70 minutes.

Elsewhere, it was largely good news for our local teams against Nelson-based teams, with Huia being the only exception in losing to the rampant Waimea Old Boys team 23-19.

Tapawera also suffered a narrow loss on Saturday, going down by a solitary point to a Riwaka side that is showing as much resurgence as their namesake river.

On their Club Day, Rangers put on a great display for their supporters at Moutere Hills by demolishing Marist 34-10, while across the hill Takaka stayed in contention for a playoff position by dispatching the lowly but determined Nelson 34-26.

Meanwhile in Blenheim, Kahurangi had the wind taken out of their sails after some fine work in recent weeks after Marlborough side Moutere dished out a 20 point pummelling in the latest Tasman Trophy encounter.

Squash Club OpenThe Motueka Squash Club holds its Annual Squash Open Tournament

this weekend from the 15th to the 17th May at the squash club located in the Whitwell's carpark next to the Huia Rugby Club rooms.

Play commences on Friday night and Finals will be played on Sunday afternoon.

All spectators are most welcome over the weekend. Over 50 players have entered this year with local players Nick Wiffen

and Maree Smith favoured to reach the finals, although they will have some fierce competition from local Motueka, Nelson, Waimea, Golden Bay and further afield.

The Motueka Squash Club is a small friendly club and once again enjoys fantastic sponsorship from Talley's and Pied Stilt Winery for this tournament. Motueka Squash Club has four teams playing in the local interclub competition which is commendable for a club of this size.

The club has nurtured its juniors over the years and seen them rise through the grades. Callum Seymour, Kyle Harrison, Oliver Reiter, Missy Seymour and Josh Broderick (past and present juniors) will be in action this weekend.

Squash is a great game for people of all ages and abilities. This weekend is a great opportunity for you to come along and view some games and mix with club members."

after snaring a silver medal in the 50 metres butterfly 16 year old age group.

Most impressive however was her win in the 50 metres backstroke for the 16 year old age group.

She swam personal bests in both events and set new 16 year old age group Nelson/ Marlborough records.
