THE planned Potae Avenue-Nelson Road link road, long called for by residents, is scheduled to be open by February. Gisborne district councillors, sitting as the Operations Committee, have been told enabling work had been delayed by Covid-19 and wet weather. That work would be completed in conjunction with the “road build phase” in late October. The road is a part of the Taruheru Block Infrastructure Plan which details how Lytton West will be developed to accommodate residential growth. Development in the area is causing traffic pressures at the Lytton Road-Potae Avenue intersection. The council has been approached several times over the years by residents expressing concerns over the intersection and asking for the link road. The project, estimated to cost $1.8m, is funded 100 percent by development contributions. DEPUTY TOP CADET: Gisborne teenager Natalie Stairs is the deputy Regional Cadet of the Year for St John, an Roading Development contributions leave a achievement described as “huge”, given the region Gisborne is part of includes Wellington, Wairarapa, Hawke’s Bay, shortfall of about $750,000. the Bay of Plenty and Waikato.

FANTASTIC DAY: The entire Wainui Primary School got an up-close and personal farming experience on Tuesday and they loved it. More than 250 children visited Pihitia Station at Turihaua, where they were hosted by the Williams family and their helpers. Murray Jones from CP Wool talked to them about wool, and there was a milking demonstration by Sophie Land. Pictures by Paul Rickard

ON FARM TECHNOLOGY: There were a range of activites associated with on-farm tecnology, including drone use. Then there was yard work with stock, demonstrations with sheep dogs, talks about conservation and pest control, and of course shearing. Maximus Simpson tried his hand with the shears, under the watchful eye of Nicky Land. All in all it was a great day and the school students and staff really appreciated it. Pictures by Paul Rickard

RUGBY LEAGUE by Jack Malcolm ALLY Tamihere has given over a decade of service to rugby league in Gisborne. Recently her dedication paid off with promotion to the Upper Central Zone Board, which includes Waikato, Rotorua, Bay of Plenty and Gisborne. She applied for the role, thinking her experience on the regional board gave her a “great opportunity”. She’s held “nearly every” position on the regional board except chairman because “no one wanted to be the secretary”. It’s a massive opportunity for rugby league in Gisborne, with only one other local person — the late Ken Eruera — on the zone board in the past decade. It’s more than just growing the game for Tamihere, who says rugby league is “a waka for greater things all around”. The league community implements key tautoko (support/advocacy) and kaupapa (policies) into how they operate. She says they promote ideas and programmes around suicide awareness and prevention, rheumatic fever, auahi kore (Smokefree) and drug or alcohol addiction. The board has had only one “zui” (zoom hui) since Tamihere joined and she says she’s excited for what the future will bring . . . “moving forward for the game we love, acknowledging the world we live in with Covid (and) the challenges our league whanau have faced”. “As a zone, we’re looking to create new programmes and reach out to rural communities like the East Coast,” she said. “We want to enable them to reconnect with rugby league.” Tamihere says she also has goals to start a local junior league competition, to grow the game from the grassroots. After all the mahi she put into the regional board as a volunteer, the OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS: Ally Tamihere — pictured with her son Kereama Edmonds at the home of Tairawhiti rugby league, challenge and growth she will gain Awapuni Stadium — says her membership of the Upper Central Zone Board is an opportunity to help develop the game and all through the Upper Central Zone Board is the good it does in the community.
