New home for twelve families
SARA HOLLYMAN A domestic violence survivor who worries every day for her son’s future and a couple sharing a bedroom with their three children have been given an opportunity that will change their lives. Twelve families, with a combined 22 children, were last week told which of the new Habitat for Humanity townhouses in the Main Rd Stoke development will become the first property they have ever owned. Habitat for Humanity were able to purchase the land, behind Elim Christian Centre and build six two-bedroom and six three-bedroom homes with an interest free loan from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development. Of the hundreds of people that attended initial information meetings for Habitat’s progressive homeownership system - one of the required conditions to making an application to be considered for one of the homes - 88 families followed through with a full application. Of the 88 families, 33 had
savings of more than $1000 and just nine had more than $20k saved, but none had enough to put forward a deposit to purchase a property on their own. Habitat staff say the overwhelming reason given for applying was the poor condition of their existing residence, including cold, overcrowding and not fit-forpurpose. From the list, 27 families were shortlisted and interviewed by the selection team, which Habitat Nelson manager Nick Clarke says was a huge and complex undertaking. “To go to the house and hear the stories of 27 families … there’s the phrase ‘sometimes you become holders of terrible knowledge’, the selection team held all of that and then had to sort all of that,” he says. “On the one hand it creates more of an impetus to be doing more in housing because we need to, but the other part of it is it’s a fabulous moment for us because this is why we do what we do.” Solo mum Jayden Kelly walked to the Victory

Nayland College dance students took to the stage last week as part of the annual Dance Showcase. Almost 90 students took part, many of whom have been practicing their routines since the beginning of the school year. The audience were treated to a range of dance styles including disco, Bollywood, hip-hop, fosse and line dancing; some choreographed and taught by the teacher, while others were choreographed collaboratively with the classes or by individual students themselves.Nayland College head of dance Jana Polglase says the students have shown incredible resilience and commitment this year, spending hours outside of class-time preparing for the showcase. “In a year of COVID like no other, where schools around the region have been hammered with absences, it was a long road to get the students ready for the stage,” Jana says. Extra-curricular group Dance Company, led by Year 13 student Lydia Fitzgerald, also took to the stage. “The awesome thing about Dance Company is that there are members from Year 9 to Year 13 involved, so it is a great opportunity for different year levels to bond and collaborate through dance,” Jana says. “I feel incredibly proud of how Dance has grown as a subject at Nayland College over the years and can’t wait to showcase more of our talented students.” Photos: Keegan Lewis and Kayla Hoult.

Lives change for 22 kids FROM PAGE 1 Community Centre from her home in Atawhai to attend the information meeting and the hike paid off, with her and her threeyear-old son Noah, being selected as one of the 12 families to start the journey to home ownership. She says the thing she’s most looking forward to is never being asked to move out again. “I’m a domestic violence survivor. My life got destroyed in 2015 so I’ve spent the last years in major repair mode just trying to make things better.” With no family, both parents having passed away, Jayden says she is completely on her own. “I woke up one day and thought ‘I have to find a way for my son to have more than this because
when I’m gone, he’s really going to be completely on his own’.” Now she has been given that opportunity. Nick says it’s a five-year journey from when families move in around April 2023. “At that time the properties are valued, and we say, ‘right that’s the purchase price’, but that’s what they’ll pay in five years-time.” Until then they will pay an agreed rent, customised to each family’s budget. After five years, the rent they have paid, gets given back to them for the deposit on the settlement of the home. “So when it comes to settling in five years’ time, they’ve saved five years’ worth of rent,” Nick says. “It’s a hand-up, not a hand-out.

house-sitting for a year, but it’s always temporary,” Bruno says. “We didn’t mind so much at the time, but once Elara was born, we wanted to find something more permanent,” adds Mariette. After making the application they tried hard not create unrealistic expectations, again thinking they wouldn’t be successful. After the in-person interview they say it was impossible to get their hopes up. “I knew I could be really upset if this didn’t work out, we were afraid,” Mariette says. But in early June they were told they too were successful and in April next year would move into their first home together. Nick says the families are on the start of a journey that’s a “game-changer”. “It’s a pleasure to be involved.”

MAX FRETHEY It’s been just over a month since Nelson City Council announced the indefinite closure of the Elma Turner Library after its unexpectedly heavy ceiling tiles were found to be an earthquake risk. In the meantime, library services have moved to a kiosk that was set up at the council’s customer service centre. Council community services group manager Andrew White says library staff have done a fantastic job at ensuring Nelsonians can continue to benefit from library services. “Most of the collection remains in Elma Turner Library and staff are collecting books when required.” He says that desks have been positioned around the library so that staff who may be in the building if an earthquake hit, have easily available cover. Staff that continue to work in the library have chosen to do so and are aware of earthquake safety procedures. Despite the establishment of the library kiosk three weeks ago, the library has seen a 34 per cent decrease in the number of books issued from the

Elma Turner Library since the building closed. However, this drop is offset by an increase in the number of people accessing library services at the Stoke and Nightingale Libraries. “This is especially stark at Nightingale Library Memorial,” Andrew says, “which has seen a 200 per cent increase in the number of books checked out, a 207 per cent increase in computer use and a 263 per cent increase in printing.” He adds that extra Chromebooks have been sent out from Nelson’s library to meet the need for computer access elsewhere.

With the country now in the school holidays, holiday activities will not be held at the Elma Turner Library. A full programme of activities will run at the Pūtangitangi Greenmeadow Centre, as well as the Stoke and Nightingale Libraries. Going forward, Andrew says the council expects to receive a report on the building’s ceiling tiles this week and decisions about the pop-up kiosk can be made from there. “We realise there is a great desire to get a service up and running, and we are working as quickly as possible to deliver this.”

Councillor not seeking re-election
Three-term Nelson City councillor Gaile Noonan will not be re-standing for council at this year’s elections. Gaile says that it’s time for a break from local politics and time for a personal reassessment as to how to best serve the community. She says this term of council has been “particularly challenging” and working from home has not always been a positive experience. “The teamwork required for decision-making in running a city is something best done face-to-face,” she says. Gaile points to the ‘great resignation’ as evidence of the impact of Covid-19 on organisations and says that being an elected member is no different.
NZCT grants awarded
The New Zealand Community Trust (NZCT) awarded a total of $55,410 worth of grants in June across the Nelson Tasman region. Some of the grants included $3,577.07 to the Stoke Toy Library for equipment, $15,000 to Nelson Netball Centre for salary, $4,000 to the Nelson Environment Centre for salaries, $15, 476.52 to Nelson City Brass for new instruments, and $4,352.94 to Special Olympics NZ for salaries of regional sports coordinators. The gaming venues that contributed to these grants were Ocean Lodge Hotel, Tapawera Hotel, and Hotel Motueka.
Increase in health job listings
Victory Primary School students showed their principal Dan George how much they appreciate him last Thursday by covering his office in 308 balloons, one for every pupil, each with a personalised message inside. Last week was ‘Tu Meke Tumuaki week’ and aimed to highlight the often unsung and unnoticed work that school leaders do. Dan, who has been in the principal’s role at Victory for just over a year now, says he felt “very humbled” by the event and has since glued all the messages on to big pieces of paper to hang proudly in his office. Some of the messages read: ‘you are the most caring person we know’, ‘thank you for cheering me on and not letting me give up in cross country’ and ‘you are a fun principal, I always see you smiling’.

NZ Health Te Whatu Ora (previously known as Nelson Marlborough Health) posted 105 jobs during May. This is an increase on April and continues the upward trend in job postings generally. During April, 94 candidates accepted positions with NMH. This continues the overall upward trend in placements. The NMH careers page continues to be the biggest source of placements with 30 of the people who accepted roles with the DHB saying they first saw the role on their career pages. The biggest portion of applicants identified as NZ European (158) and Asian (86).

Relay Your Way raises $80k SARA HOLLYMAN The Cancer Society Nelson Tasman’s biennial Relay for Life appeal has raised more than $80,000 for cancer support in the region. With the cancellation of the last event due to Covid-19, the decision was made to change this year’s appeal to Relay for Life – Relay Your Way, which encouraged people to host and participate in their own events. The team at Nelson’s Mitre 10 Mega came up with the idea to run a 24-hour exercise-a-thon, which saw the installation of four exercise machines in store, with the team using them for 24 hours while being sponsored.
Community engagement manager Murray Leaning says the fundraising drive was a “massive success”. The store also ran three fundraising sausage sizzles, and a raffle which saw winners take home first prize of a brand-new BBQ as well as other goodies from the stores suppliers. “The team deserve to have their hard mahi recognised, and we want to thank all those customers who sponsored our exercise team, bought sausages and raffle tickets,” Murray says. The total amount raised by Mitre 10 Mega Nelson was $12,031.45. Cancer Society Nelson Tasman centre manager Michelle Hunt says the support from
the community has been overwhelming. “Teams like Mitre 10 Nelson went all out with finding ways to do Relay for Life a new way such as their 24hr exercise-a-thon, and a massive raffle due to wonderful support from their suppliers.” Relay Your Way has raised just over $80,000 for the Cancer Society Nelson Tasman to continue to support those with cancer in the community. Mitre 10 are now on the search for more community projects that they can help with offering up 10 people for 10 hours work to assist where they can.

erage of 1.2 per cent and 1.4 per cent respectively last month. Local property consultant Geoff Butterworth says the downturn has had the biggest effect on lower-valued properties typically targeted by first-home buyers and investors. “This reflects tight lending conditions, higher interest rates and removal of FOMO [fear of missing out] in this price brackets.” Nationally, the average home decreased in value by 3.4 per cent over the past three-month period to the end of June with the national average house price now sitting at around $1,010,000. This quarterly decrease has grown from the 2.2 per cent decrease seen in the three months ending in May. QV attributes to the national decrease to rising interest rates and an oversupply of listings. General manager David Nagel says further reductions are inevitable over the coming months as the market corrects after months of rapid market growth. “All eyes will be on the next Reserve Bank OCR [official cash rate] announcement as interest rates are expected to rise further to counter inflationary pressures,” he says. “While prices are retreating across the country, the increase in borrowing costs means debt servicing and credit availability remain key stumbling blocks for new entrants to the market.”

The average home value is dropping across the country and the national trend is no different in Nelson. The latest figures from home valuation company Quotable Value (QV) show that Nelson was the region that saw the third-highest decrease in three-month value reduction with home values dropping by 5.2 per cent to sit around $860,000. Nelson’s annual rate of home value growth is still positive but has slipped from double figures in May to 9 per cent in June. “We’re seeing a more ‘traditional market’ now with purchasers being prudent and making offers subject to conditions, such as selling their house,” QV’s Nelson Marlborough manager Craig Russell says. “Therefore, sellers are having to lower their expectations and meet the market in order to sell.” Craig says that due to the correcting of the housing market, homes that need work done are being treated more critically than they once would have. “Softening market conditions has affected lower priced properties more profoundly, whereas quality properties in good locations remain sound with the higher end of the market performing better.” The Tasman and Marlborough districts have also joined Nelson in a general downward trajectory, with their home values falling by an av-

Iwi pave the way for Kākā Hill ownership Ngāti Koata representatives have signed a historic memorandum of understanding that paves the way for the iwi to receive ownership of a parcel of land near central Nelson which includes Kākā Hill. The agreement to transfer ownership of the maunga (hill) to the iwi is a landmark agreement with CCKV Developments, the group behind the Maitahi Village development. Directors of Koata Ltd, members of Ngāti Koata Trust and the Kaumātua Council as well as members of the Harley family who owned the land since 1968, joined representatives of Bayview Nelson, and CCKV Developments to sign the memorandum at the proposed Maitahi Village site last week. “There is no greater gift for Ngāti Koata than a gift of land,” says kuia Ngaiwai Webber, who signed the memorandum as chair of the Kaumātua council. “We have had very little whenua to call our own. I cannot think of
a better use of land than to put homes on it for people to live in.” Chair of Koata Ltd Robert Pooley says the transfer of ownership is truly a wonderful thing, of which those gathered could feel proud. “We start a process next week that may take us to another special place,” he said “It will be the beginning of a new and really exciting journey if the private plan change is successful.” Commissioners appointed by Nelson City Council will, next week, consider submissions received from two rounds of public submissions completed in 202122 in relation to the Maitahi Bayview Private Plan Change (PPC 28). Koata Ltd chief executive Hemi Toia says that CCKV Developments has been really encouraged by the process so far which saw expert submitters addressing a number of key concerns expressed by some members of the community, agreeing on the resolution of issues raised, and issuing joint statements.

“We think that this puts to rest some misinformation and will reassure many people,” he said. “The signing of today’s memorandum of understanding is another very important step towards unlocking our vision for the Kākā Valley. “This MOU sets us on a path of empowerment for whānau, and we hope to see homes built that will provide home owndown to the rising cost of living, ership opportunities for paired with the competitive marNgāti Koata whānau and ket conditions. the wider community.” “The increasing cost of living is Ken Hippolite of Ngātop of mind for many Kiwis and ti Koata also spoke and employers are feeling pressure to imagined a future which pay more to keep up with inflaincludes Ngāti Koata tion.

Record salaries for region Nelson Tasman is offering the highest average salary ever as businesses struggle to attract quality staff to the regions amidst rising living costs. The region was one of 10, including Marlborough, to offer the record-high salaries, according to Trade Me Jobs, who analysed more than 77,000 listings for the three months ending 30 June (Quarter two). Trade Me Jobs sales director, Matt Tolich, says salaries boomed across the country during the second quarter, with the nationwide salary increasing by two per cent, or $1068, year-on-year. The average salary nationally s $66,016. Matt puts the salary increases
Economic update New Zealand has secured a major free trade agreement (FTA) with the European Union, unlocking access to one of the world’s biggest and most lucrative markets. The deal is fantastic for Nelson, with immediate tariff elimination for all kiwifruit, wine, onions, apples, mānuka honey and manufactured goods, as well as almost all fish and seafood, and other horticulture products. There are new quota opportunities worth over $600m in annual export revenue for dairy and red meat sector once fully implemented, with an eight-fold increase in beef access to the EU market. My congratulations to West Coast-Tasman MP and Minister for Trade and Export Growth Damien O’Connor for his work to secure this outstanding agreement. The Government has committed $30 million of funding for coastal shipping. A new coastal shipping route is being established between Nelson and New Plymouth with funding support from Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency. This new coastal shipping route between the North and South Islands will open up new supply chains and reduce transport emissions. We are in the middle of our three week recess from Parliament, and I’m enjoying time in Nelson catching up with the community. Please get in touch if you have any questions to raise with me.
Hemi added that he can picture a whole range of families living in the proposed Maitahi Village and that CCKV Development’s vision of creating a legacy on the land, of which future generations can be proud, has been transformative for the project. “It has deepened our discussions about how we can enhance the environment and help people to interact with each other so that they are loving living here. We want to ensure that Kākā Hill and Maitahi Village is an environmental masterpiece on the doorstep of Nelson and that it is a vibrant place where people can enjoy recreational activities in a respectful way.” He says that Kākā Hill has a rich cultural history for local iwi Ngāti Koata and Ngāti Kuia, and ownership of the maunga, which is believed to include an urupā (burial site), is incredibly significant. “Kākā Hill is an important tuku between Ngāti Koata and Ngāti Kuia. This transfer of ownership can really enhance the healing and the peace between the two
iwi.” Hemi says that now that the MOU has been signed, Ngāti Koata looks forward to sharing more of its vision for the Maitahi Village with the community. “We have already indicated that we see the opportunity to acknowledge the cultural significance of Kākā Hill to local iwi and the potential to make Kākā Hill an iconic tourist attraction for Whakatū. We are also very excited by the potential for us to provide iwi-led housing for Ngāti Koata whānau and the wider community within the proposed Maitahi Village.” Before leading a waiata to accompany the signing of the memorandum, kuia Melanie McGregor (Chair of Ngāti Koata Trust) acknowledged the spirit of the occasion and Kākā Hill itself. “We can’t help but feel the wairua of this beautiful maunga.” Hemi says that the spirit of the MOU signing is one which can be carried through to the next step in the process as a solid foundation for the work that is still to come.

Moller fountain delights again Following a lengthy restoration project, the historic Moller Fountain on Haven Rd is back to its former glory. Funded by the Civic Trust of Nelson City, the fountain is once again entertaining people with illuminated water displays. Numerous facelifts and renovations have been carried out on the fountain and its workings over the years, but this most recent project has taken months of intricate work. The fountain now boasts new water pipes and a pump station, fresh creamy white paint, as well
as state-of-the-art digitally controlled LED lighting, including a strip of rainbow colours on the rim of the pool. Fully funded by the Nelson Civic Trust to the tune of more than $60,000, the restoration work was carried out by skilled technicians from Nelmac and Powertech and overseen by the Nelson City Council. Trust chairman Roger Nicholson says it was a fitting project for the trust to undertake as many Nelsonians expressed fond memories of watching the fountain in its heyday.
“People missed seeing the fountain playing and its wonderful light displays. We heard many stories of children being taken in their pyjamas and dressing gowns to see the fountain at night,” he says. “But over the years, it has fallen into disrepair as other projects took priority. When council approached us, it was a great opportunity for the Civic Trust to be able to fund the fountain’s restoration and return it to its former glory.” Technicians continue to adjust the fountain’s water spray system.

Harry Pearson standing for Nelson City Council KATE RUSSELL Nelson business owner Harry Pearson is contending for a seat on the Nelson City Council. Harry, who owns and operates Storage Nelson, has qualifications and experience in business, science, forestry, engineering, tourism, and horticulture. “I love this city and that’s one of the reasons I want to be on council,” he says. Harry says he has plenty of ideas and wants to see councillors focus on the basics and work together as a team. “If you have 12 people in
council coming up with innovative ideas, plus listening to the community and their ideas, there is no reason why we couldn’t be doing really well,” he says. “Running a storage business, I meet a lot of people, so you get a bit of a feel for what their concerns are. As a councillor, you are working for the people, and they need to know you’ll stand for them in the council chambers.” The passionate gardener wants to see more community orchards around Nelson and more initiatives to get people enthusiastic about horticulture at an early age.
He also pledges to help to find more solutions to the housing crisis and provide more support for social services so that anyone struggling financially, physically, or mentally has the support they need. The experienced engineer also says the council needs to better look at the maintenance of its assets and think of more ways to promote the region. “We need to promote our city and region as a great place to work, live and visit to overcome our skills shortage and increase tourism,” he says. “To me, Nelson is the best city in the country, and I want it to stay that way.”

Florence appointed head of sustainability at NZTE JENNY NICHOLSON Nelson’s Florence Van Dyke has been appointed head of sustainability at New Zealand Trade and Enterprise. Florence says sustainability has always been close to her heart and she is excited to be in a position of influence and to enable businesses to have a positive impact on the environment. “My path hasn’t been planned,” she says. “I just like to say yes to the right opportunity where I can see I can have a positive impact. If we can increase sustainability, it is not just right for New Zealand, it is right for our economy.” She is no stranger to sustainability. The Nelson-based Chia Sisters, which she co-founded with her sister Chloe, is accredited Living Wage, Zero Carbon and Climate Positive. Florence acknowledges that working toward being a zero carbon and climate positive business can seem scary and be expensive but says there are simple tasks every business can do. “Because carbon is invisible, it can be difficult to understand,” Florence says. “We had our carbon emissions measured so we knew our carbon hotspots. One easy change was insulating our
Florence Van Dyke water tanks as heat was escaping so more power was used.” When it comes to paying above the living wage, she says in this labour market it would be crazy not to. “Paying above the living wage means we have the best talent at Chia Sisters, and it also means you retain staff,” she says. Her last year has been spent at the University of California Berkeley School of Law and in May she graduated with a Master of Law in Business and Climate Change. Florence had a week in Nelson with family before taking up the new position on Monday. She says working with Chloe has been a pleasure. “We have different personalities,

Now she is happy to swim, and trail run and particularly enjoyed her week running along the Maitai walkway. “I didn’t realise how John King and grandson Arlo Goodfellow break ground during Marsden much I’d missed NelHouse’s annual tree planting ceremony held at Isel House on Saturday. son.” Despite the intermittent rain, organisers say the turnout was higher than She’s excited to move expected for the ceremony, which remembers loved ones with a symbol of to Wellington and that person’s life and legacy with something tangible that friends, family plans to initially live and loved ones can return to and remember.

Region welcomes new healthcare system
Winner Grant Wilkins with his 1989 Ford Laser GTX which won a $5k makeover. Photo: Supplied.
Grant’s winning ride JO KENT A car that has spent much of its 33-year life with the same owner will get a $5000 pickme-up thanks to a competition aimed at restoring a neglected ride. The ‘Revive My Ride’ competition, led by Brightwater Motors, announced Nelson’s Grant Wilkins and his 1989 Ford Laser GTX as the winner of the vehicle overhaul. The car is a rare 1800 turbo 4x4 version of the classic brand and has immense sentimental value to Grant. He says the win will allow him to give it the lift it has sorely needed. “It’s the first car I ever bought when I was in my teens,” says Grant, who’s owned the Ford for almost 21 years. “It’s sort of like one of my kids really.” ‘Little Red’ as Grant calls it, has survived numerous backcountry tours with his daughter, Addison, when she was younger. Owing to its four-wheel drive capacity, he’s driven it
hard across dirt, gravel and fords – never getting stuck. Following the expansion of Grant’s family and the introduction of a larger vehicle, the Laser was lent to his mum by way of a long-term arrangement, who subsequently lent it out to her friends and other family members before Grant finally got his hands back on the keys again. In between loans, the car sits on the side of the road outside Grant’s house, waiting for its next adventure. “Every time I’ve walked past her lately, I’ve felt like I can see her slowly dying,” says Grant, who sadly admits that the car has been at the bottom of a priority pile. “I’m stoked she’s going to get a new lease of life. I’ll be a bit more picky about who borrows it after this.” The judges of the competition were blown away by the deep connection owners had with their vehicles. “Stories imbued with nostalgia and sentimentality tell of cars
being passed down through generations, special family holidays, learner driver exams, hay in boots and mountain bikes on racks,” says Brightwater Motors owner Dave Gilberd. “Many of the vehicles have names. Some are upheld as ‘trusty companions’ and even lifelines.” Grant has recently changed his will to request that the car never be sold. “She’s a bit of a collector’s item. Just the other day someone walked in off the street wanting to buy her. I think I might have to put her in the garage after all this.” The prize covers mechanical and body work, new tyres, deep cleaning and detailing executed by a team of experts including Motueka’s Spectrum Panel & Paint and Nelson/ Blenheim’s Sky Automotive alongside Brightwater Motors. Little Red’s transformation will be complete at the end of the month.
From 1 July, as part of the Government’s changes to health services, all District Health Boards became part of one united entity. Health NZ Te Whatu Ora, a central agency, has replaced the country’s 20 district health boards. It aims to streamline our healthcare system, so people get the same level of care no matter where they live. Things won’t change immediately. When people need care, they will still go to the same providers and the same hospital that they do now. Under the new system, the country has been split into four health regions - Northern, Te Manawa Taki, Central, and Te Waipounamu. Health New Zealand and the Māori Health Authority will work together at a regional level, including through co-located teams and embedded regional management arrangements. Former Nelson Marlborough District Health Board chairperson, Jenny Black, says that people won’t notice a difference in the care they receive. In her statement to the final board meeting last month, she said much of the new system “will look the same, but there does need to be change”. “To get rid of variability in outcomes and improve inequities for Māori
are issues that must be addressed.” Over the next two years, Te Whatu Ora will be putting in place the operating models and accountability structures that will deliver on the New Zealand Health Plan, ensuring safe service delivery and sustainability of our system for the future. The first six months of transition will unify reporting lines for functions and see the completion of permanent leadership appointments in national and regional functions. Interim regional and district directors have been put in place, who will guide and unify local healthcare teams to work together for the benefit of patients, whānau, and communities while a regional management board is established, and national structures are recruited and embedded. As well as the interim district director, Nelson Marlborough, Lexie O’Shea - DHB’s former chief executive, the region has an interim regional director, Te Waipounamu, Peter Bramley, who will support the area. Te Whatu Ora chair Rob Campbell says changes will take time, but planned care, such as scheduled surgery, was one area where people could expect results fairly quickly.

I’ve just had a brain-wave about the Trafalgar St CBD and it’s lack of a mall. In a way, this also effects the Saturday and Sunday Markets which are slowly drifting to the Richmond A&P grounds. I think Trafalagar St should be made car-free between Bridge St and Hardy St and turned into an open air garden mall. Also build a carpark building in Buxton Square to replace the parking spaces lost on Trafalgar St as a result. Anton Hyman We find it concerning that Nick Smith is considering standing for mayor in Nelson. The current problems at council show that the city needs a mayor with vision and a positive outlook, who can listen to the community, foster a healthy working culture at Civic House, unite the council, and bring people together. In contrast, Nick Smith as MP has a history of divisive behaviour and unbecoming outbursts. Now if ever, we need a mayor who listens and unifies rather than inflames and divides. Nick’s recent post on the Three Waters reform shows that he continues to employ a Pet of the Week: Jazzy and Button, both Jack Russell’s, enjoy visiting Button’s confrontational and hyperbolowner at her ‘office’, Mitre 10 Mega Garden Centre. Photo: Shaw James. Send ic style. In reality, this reform your best shot to sara@topsouthmedia.co.nz is about safe drinking water, public health, and the funding and maintenance of critical infrastructure. However, Nick Smith ignores these aspects and frames the issue as one of division and conflict, pitting the regions against the beehive and rural NZ against urban areas in battles that do not exist. When it comes to safe drinking water or the wellbeing of the community and environment, we are all in this together. Please let us elect a mayor who understands this and leads by example with respect and compassion, bringing the community together. Connect with your community Barbara and Tim Robson

Considering the mindset of the majority who remain totally dependent on their cars and unable to imagine any other way of life, I’d like to salute those who’ve broken free for the sake of the climate and have found a host of other benefits, quite aside from a clearer conscience. On a bike, the elderly maintain their health and strength while sticking to their budgets, professionals convince their workplaces to go green, parents give their
children independence. On a bus, all age groups feel looked after without any driving or parking hassles. Being free of a car is definitely worth a try, Amy Brooke, and when you have given it a go you can let us know more authoritatively about the need for road space to be allocated to empty cars. Breaking free is the key and I wish you joy of a more active travel style. Kate Malcolm

Moko kauae: symbol of identity
Bread tags buy wheelchairs
Tā moko can represent many things for those who recieve them; whānau, leadership, whakapapa and status. Through the series Moko kauae: Symbol of identity, shares stories of strong wāhine who have received their moko kauae to mark a new phase in their life journey. JENNY NICHOLSON

ship. For fear of losing her children, she stayed, but eventually, a final straw gave her the strength that she now carries today. “Yes, I have PTSD, depression, and stress anxiety, but I’m still a capable mum.” Jannelle is now working helping others, feels more independent, and has friends and a church who surround her and her family. When Jannelle looks to her future, it is a brighter one with plans to study social work and continue a career of helping others.
Locals saving plastic bread tags have contributed to the purchase of wheelchairs for those living in poverty in South Africa, but that is coming to an end in September. Bread Tags for Wheelchairs NZ Kelly Vollenhoven started the initiative when she returned to New Zealand from South Africa. People can take their bread tags to collection points throughout the country, and they are then sent to Kelly who sells them. The money raised has already provided seven wheelchairs and she has just sent through enough money for the purchase of a further 12 wheelchairs. “It has been incredibly satisfying,” Kelly says. “It has also been a lot of work.” The gift of a wheelchair changes lives, giving the recipient the ability to move around. Over the three and a half years Bread Tags for Wheelchairs
NZ has run, 2,400 kgs of bread tags have been collected. The scheme ends soon as plastic tags are replaced with cardboard, with the final day tags can be donated being 1 September 2022. Kelly has sold the tags to artists and farmers throughout New Zealand, with some going to Top of the South flower enthusiast Lane Spence. He uses the tags to record names of pollinated seeds as he breeds new lilies, daffodils and irises. “I’m just a big hobby plant breeder,” Lane says. “I’ve been hybriding for over 30 years, creating my own varieties.” With 60-metre-long rows and thousands of each flower he needs a lot of bread tags. For local Sue Wilson it’s just part of her sustainable lifestyle. She has been saving them because she doesn’t like the thought of throwing them out. “I’m glad they are going to a good cause,” Sue says.

For Jannelle Patterson, the decision to receive her moko kauae marked a new beginning, one free from the domestic violence that she encountered for years. She says, while it is a symbol of her identity today, it is just one part of her story. “My home wasn’t a home; it was a prison. I was distraught and alone,” she recalls of the years she spent in an abusive relationship. Now free, Jannelle’s moko kauae is a firm reminder of the path she has travelled and stands as a symbol of the strong woman she is today. A moko kauae represents a woman’s whānau and leadership within her community, recognising her whakapapa, status, and abilities.

Guiding girls to personal growth SARA HOLLYMAN When 11-year-old Lillie Burton made the jump from Brownies to Girl Guides it was a scary moment, but two years on she says it was the best thing she did. “I didn’t know it would be such a big change, but all the activities are so much more grown-up and fun, I absolutely love it. I’m really happy.” Girl Guide leader Esther Sassenburg says guides focusses on personal development in a broad sense and helps young girls gain life skills while building confidence. “We do such a range of activities which teaches life-skills, teamwork, being a responsible citizen, learning about what’s going on in your community, sporty things, all sorts.” Lillie says she talked about how much she loved the guides group so much that her best friend joined too. “Because I talked about it so much and she was like ‘yes, I’m coming’.” The Nelson Girl Guides are about to farewell their next group of 12-year-olds, so are encouraging those between nine and 12 to think about joining. The young girls control what activities they would like to take part in by selecting ‘badges’ to work towards earning. This term they have been working on the ‘Act Up’ badge which provided a range of activities to choose from, one of which was visit your local theatre. So last week, the girls met at the Theatre Royal in Nelson, for a behind the scenes tour and got the chance to get on stage for their last meeting of the school term. Lillie says the Act Up badge, which has involved writing a script and acting in the play, has been her favourite so far. “I don’t go to school, so I don’t get to do the shows at school, so it’s nice to be part of that.” Esther encourages anyone who might like to give guides a go to visit www.girlguiding.org. nz. Lillie adds that, like many things, it’s scary when you turn up for the first time, but once you cross that first hurdle you won’t look back. “Everyone’s friendly nobody is mean, it’s awesome, I’ve made so many good friends.”

Arts The Big Sing a success
The Big Sing went ahead on 9 June at the NCMA. Event organiser Lucy Rainey says they had five choirs performing and it was a great evening with two of the choirs, from Nayland College and Marlborough Girls College, being accepted for the national Cadenza concert to be held in Timaru later on this year. The Big Sing is a secondary school choral festival that takes place in ten centres around Aotearoa, involving up to 10,000 students from 260 schools. Lucy would like to thank all of the choral directors who worked so hard to rehearse their choirs within a very short time frame due to the Covid-19 restrictions.

Timeless tale comes to Theatre Royal
KATE RUSSELL A ‘tale as old as time’ is coming to the Theatre Royal for the school holidays. Nelson Youth Theatre is performing Disney’s Beauty and the Beast Jr from 13 - 15 July. Director Richard Carruthers is leading the cast of 80, aged from three years old to 17, in what will be their second show this month after a year off. The musical features some of the most popular songs ever written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, along with new songs by Mr Menken and Tim Rice, including ‘Belle’, ‘Be Our Guest’, ‘Human Again’, and of course
‘Beauty and the Beast’. It tells the story of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is actually a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end, and he will be transformed into his former self. But as time runs out, the Beast must learn his lesson, or he and his household will be doomed for all eternity. Richard says it’s the first time they have staged the musical, which runs for just over one hour. “A lot of costumes have been developed for the enchanted
castle characters - the costume team have been amazing and created everything from scratch,” says Richard. “One of the grandfathers created all the cutlery and another group of parents painted them. It’s going to be quite a work of art.” Richard says people can expect the songs to “live in their heads” for some time afterwards. Plans are already underway for their next show, Frozen, which will be performed later this year. Beauty and the Beast Jr is on at the Theatre Royal from 13 - 15 July for six shows in total.

WATERS “A litany of lies” ADVERTISEMENT
The Water Services Entities Bill is now before a Select Committee of Parliament. If passed, that Bill would confiscate local council water assets without fair compensation. We are calling on all Kiwis to send in a submission opposing the Bill. Here are four of the claims being used to justify the law change. #1 - “Councils will own the water services entities” That claim is plainly absurd when Section 166 of the Water Services Entities Bill states, “A territorial authority owner...has no right, title, or interest...in the assets, security, debts, or liabilities of a water services entity... and must not receive any equity return, directly or indirectly, from a water services entity.” #2 - “The data shows the case for change is compelling” Even experts say the case for change is far from compelling. Castalia has said “the Reform Scenario is founded on unsound evidence and faulty analysis...the evidence does not establish that the intended benefits will materialise.” Farrierswier has said, “the analysis...should not be relied on to project... pricing outcomes...the forecasts are inherently uncertain.” The case for change is based on a questionable model and an accumulation of debt they assume does not need to be repaid.
#3 - “Communities will retain an influence over their Three Waters assets” Ratepayers will have little or no influence over the water assets that will be taken from them without fair compensation. Iwi/hapu will have half of the seats around the decision making table of the water Entities and local authorities the other half. This is not democracy. This is Jacinda Ardern and Nanaia Mahuta delivering on He Puapua and their co-governance agenda. #4 - “At least 34,000 New Zealanders become ill from drinking tap water every year” The 34,000 figure comes from a 14-year-old report that used British figures to estimate the incidence of waterborne gastro-intestinal disease. It said, in NZ “the size of most outbreaks is small, averaging nine cases per outbreak in 2000-2004...and is smaller than any other countries for which data are available.” Ministry of Health annual water quality audits have shown there is no crisis, as have the regular surveillance reports from the Institute of Environmental Science and Research.
Say NO to 3 Waters More details and a draft submission can be found at www.nzcpr.com/3waters. Submissions must be in by 22 July.

Bad weather and supply issues delay Awatea pump station project Prolonged wet weather has proved challenging at the Awatea Place Wastewater Pump Station project. Alongside delays to pipe delivery caused by the global supply line crisis, this means the project’s end date is now extended to December 2022. If weather conditions allow, pipe laying in Awatea Place is expected to be completed early August 2022, with trenching then moving into Parkers Road. The pipe from Awatea Place will be extended through to Golf Road during the months of August and September. The final pipe connections and commissioning are planned to occur in November. The last bits of reinstatement, landscaping and road works will follow commissioning in December 2022. Traffic management will remain in place during this time period, and further delays can be expected on Parkers Road. When this work is completed it will provide a major upgrade to the sewer network, reducing the chance of sewer overflows from occurring.

Whakatū Nelson Arts and Creativity Strategy: realising our creative potential together A time of unprecedented strain on the arts and creative sector has led to the development of a plan to reset our direction as a city so the sector can survive and deliver greater economic and wellbeing benefits. The Whakatū Nelson Arts and Creativity Strategy was developed for Nelson City Council by Johny O’Donnell and Ali Boswijk, who spoke with nearly 200 people, including artists, art organisations, iwi, the business sector and the wider community in Nelson. Chair of the Arts Strategy working group Deputy Mayor Judene Edgar says the Strategy has enormous potential to reinvigorate creativity in our city. “We know the arts deliver enormous benefits for our city. This draft strategy proposes a series of key moves and actions to support the arts sector, like a Creative Tourism Initiative to support our arts, hospitality and accommodation sectors during winter,” says Deputy Mayor Edgar. “I’m excited to hear from the public about what they think of the Strategy and how we can deliver all of the benefits of a thriving creative sector to Nelson and Te Tauihu.”

Let’s talk about… putting healthy kai on the table this winter
Lauren Ensor
Health Promotion Manager
Food security is a key issue for the health of New Zealanders. While rates of food insecurity have been of concern in New Zealand for a long time, COVID-19 and the associated increases in the cost of living have further exacerbated the problem. Food Security is defined as sustainable access to affordable and nutritious kai. Approximately 14% of New Zealand are ‘Food Insecure’, making putting healthy kai on the table each day a significant challenge and needing assistance. Food Insecurity & Health Outcomes: Food
insecurity is associated with detrimental health outcomes such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and micronutrient deficiencies. The New Zealand Health Survey 2020/21 found that 1 in 3 adults were classified as obese (34.3%), up from 31.2% in 2019/20 a massive 9% increase. Food Security in New Zealand: The 2008/09 New Zealand National Nutrition Survey indicated that only three out of five households were classified as almost or fully food secure. Households in neighbourhoods with higher levels of deprivation were less likely to be food secure, as were Māori and Pacific households.
What is Food Stress?
Food stress occurs when a household needs to spend more than 25% of its disposable income on food. Most families on low incomes will need to spend a much higher percentage of their income to purchase ‘basic’ healthy foods and many will experience ‘food stress’. Initiatives & Support Available: Community-based food projects such as community gardens, food cooperatives, and fruit and veg swaps have the potential to impact food insecurity at a local community level. They offer the opportunity of healthy food at a lower cost to those in
need, particularly if they are part of a comprehensive population-based approach to improving food security and issues of sustainability are addressed. There are several great examples across Te Tauihu of community-led food initiatives and further support is needed in this space alongside continued advocacy for policies and system changes to make putting healthy kai on the table every day achievable for all.
For more resources and tips on healthy kai this winter, visit www. nmdhb.govt.nz/winter and look in the healthy kai section.
Feeling unwell? Omicron continues to circulate in our community and open borders are bringing new COVID-19 subvariants, as well as flu and other respiratory illnesses. All these factors are putting additional significant pressure on our health system. Our healthcare teams are part of the community, too, which means they are also vulnerable to COVID-19 and winter illnesses and this has an impact, with some staff absences, making for some challenging conditions. What you can do to help • Empower yourself this winter. Health Navigator is a good place to start to learn about what symptoms can be managed at home and what requires medical attention.

• Talk to your pharmacy. Pharmacists can help you treat many minor ailments with over-the-counter medicines. They can help you put together a Winter Wellness Kit before you’re unwell. Many pharmacies also offer immunisations, including flu and COVID-19 vaccinations. Seek advice from your local pharmacist today. • Know when to escalate care. GP Dr Elizabeth Wood says some of the common reasons to seek help include, sudden deterioration in condition, being unwell for 3-4 days and getting worse, increasing shortness of breath, chest pain or severe headache, cough with large amounts of coloured or blood-stained phlegm/ sputum/ spit, Unable to drink / not passing urine / persistent vomiting, Increased confusion, Skin rash that does not disappear when pressed on, Babies taking less than half their usual feeds • Know where to escalate care. For after-hours or for urgent health concerns, visit an urgent medical centre such as the Medical and Injury Centre in Nelson. such as the Urgent Care Centre in Blenheim. If a life is at risk call 11 or go to the hospital emergency department.

John Bertrand Collectables Buying in the Nelson Region Next Week
Gold & Silver At Very High Prices
O
nce again the buyers from Wellington based company John Bertrand (Collectables) Ltd are coming to the Nelson Region next week. Mr Tony Grant from the company says “This is a great time to bring along those unwanted items you’ve sorted out during the lockdown period and turn them into cash”. Particularly wanted by the buyers are Gold and Silver (in any of its forms) and Collectables such as Old Coins and Banknotes, War Medals, Old Wind-up Watches and other interesting Old Collectables. “We are keen buyers, especially of the items in the list below” said Mr Grant. “I’m sure everyone has unearthed something we want in the past few weeks and we would like to see it! Nothing is too small for our consideration. We are just as happy to buy one item as we are buying 1,000 items”. The buyers will be in convenient locations in Mr Anthony (Tony) the Nelson Region next W. Grant week (see details below). Fellow of the Royal Numismatic As Tony Grant says “if you Society of New Zealand Incorporated are in any doubt about any Director and Buyer John Bertrand (Collectables) Ltd items you wish to sell, take Author of the John Bertrand them along for an instant NZ Coin & Banknote Catalogue appraisal”
D
uring these uncertain times we have seen a sharp increase in the price of precious metals. The gold price in New Zealand is still at a high level so gather up all your unwanted items and take them along to the buyers. Tony Grant says “We can buy old gold items in all forms, including Jewellery (Rings, Chains, Brooches etc), Coins (Sovereigns and the like), Alluvial (River Gold), virtually anything, even Gold Teeth! We also need all Sterling Silver including Cups, Tea Services, Cutlery and Old Coins” he said.
T
Interesting Small Collectables Wanted
he buyers from John Bertrand (Collectables) Ltd, visiting the Nelson Region next week, are happy to look at any interesting items, for example vintage pocket and wristwatches such as Rolex, Men’s Omega, Breitling and gold watches etc. Also wanted, pre 1950’s picture postcards, Maori and Pacific artefacts, old fountain pens and other small antique or historical items. “If you have something unusual which you would like to sell, please bring it into one of our venues, we would like the chance to at least have a look at it” said Tony Grant, buyer for the Company. “We will consider anything which may be of interest to a collector” he said.
C
Some Big Dollars in Early Banknotes
E
arly New Zealand Banknotes dated before 1932 are currently fetching big money! This is according to Mr Tony Grant, author of the John Bertrand New Zealand Coin & Banknote Catalogue. Mr Grant is in the Nelson Region next week on a buying trip for John Bertrand (Collectables) Ltd and would be very keen to see any of these issues. “We will pay at least $300 for any undamaged Ten Shilling or One Pound banknote
from a New Zealand trading bank dated 1932 or before. Denominations of five pounds and higher would be worth from $700. “Any banknote dated prior to 1900 would be worth at least $1000” said Mr Grant. Also purchased are any Reserve Bank of New Zealand pre-decimal issues, especially 50 Pound notes. All overseas banknotes are also wanted, especially early Pacific Island issues.
Collectors Need War Medals
urrently, throughout NZ and the world there is a big demand by collectors for war medals. These cover all wars right through from the New Zealand Land Wars and the Boer War, to the First and Second World Wars and the later Korea and Vietnam conflicts. New Zealand Servicemen and Women first served overseas in the Boer War in South Africa around 1900 and the war medals awarded for this service are needed by the buyers, as are any other Medals from early New Zealand and the New Zealand Wars. General service medals from both the First and Second World Wars will also be purchased, but as can be imagined these were awarded in fairly large numbers. “If a group of medals has any special award for bravery such as the Military Medal, Military or Flying Cross or other medals for Distinguished Conduct or Meritorious Service, these can add great value to a group” stated Mr Tony Grant, buyer for John Bertrand (Collectables) Ltd. “Many families have old medals, some dating back to early Imperial days, that they are not sure what to do with. These are better off in the hands of collectors who will look after them. We will be happy to look at any war medals whatsoever, just bring them in to venues” he said.
Old Coins Can Toss Up a Rarity
I
n lockdown when you sorted out your drawers and cupboards you may have come across some old coins. You just never know what rarities may be lurking there. The advice of Tony Grant from John Bertrand (Collectables) Ltd is to bring them in to the venues and have them appraised. “We want to see any old foreign coin accumulations. We are quite happy to go through your coins on the spot and give you an idea what we can pay. You just never know what can turn up. We are also particularly keen to buy pre 1946 New Zealand Silver Coins for at least 10 times their face value” he said.

Sealord recognised for inclusivity JENNY NICHOLSON Paul Nang loves working at Sealord. “When I first came to Sealord, I was so happy. I would have money and a better future,” Paul says. His life before coming to New Zealand was hard. He fled from Myanmar due to the military government’s harsh living conditions and lived in Malaysia for five years. He didn’t have a visa or permit, and work was hard to find. Supporting himself was a challenge. Buying food and paying for shelter was difficult with little or no work. “I lived like that for five years until the New Zealand government helped me to come to New Zealand as a refugee.” After arriving in New Zealand Paul studied English at NMIT before starting work at Sealord. With a regular income he was able to send money home to his family. That was 15 years ago, and Paul says the company has been very good to him and his family. Sealord has been recognised for its efforts to sustain a workplace culture that prioritises wellbeing. The company won the ‘Inclusive and Diverse Workplace’ category
Staff from Sealord celebrate their ‘Inclusive and Diverse Workplace’ win from the recent Primary Industries Good Employer Award. Photo: Supplied. at the 2022 Primary Industries Good Employer Awards late last month. One of the initiatives that caught the judge’s attention was Sealord’s support for its employees from Myanmar during the military coup in 2021. “We knew our Burmese people were fearful for their home coun-
try, and while we could offer sympathy and support, we needed to look at other meaningful action,” chief executive Doug Paulin says. After meeting with workers to hear their ideas, Doug wrote to the Prime Minister outlining concerns and raised $7000 from company and staff contributions towards care for refugees from
Myanmar in Thailand. While the military coup was on in 2021, Sealord provided special overtime every Saturday so that the Myanmar community working at Sealord had the opportunity to earn extra money to send home to help their families. Doug says they have about 60 nationalities at Sealord and
more than 40 per cent of their workforce originates outside of Aotearoa. “We love what this brings to our workplace with people from all walks of life, countries, ages, and backgrounds contributing to our company culture,” he says. He says it’s very important to management that all their people have a voice and can share opinions and experiences freely. Along with providing employment to fit in with school hours, the company has many other initiatives designed to cater to families and support positive staff engagement. A buddy system is in place for those for whom English is a second language. A ‘buddy’ is a worker of the same ethnicity who is fluent in English and can help translate. They also offer scholarships for children or grandchildren of permanent employees to enable them to study at a tertiary institution for up to four years. Paul is now a team leader and his wife Agnes also works at Sealord. She started in 2012 and, after time off to have their children, returned this year to work on the school shift line from 9.30am to 2.30pm.

Choir crowned best in the world Aotearoa’s youngest national choir, the New Zealand Secondary Students’ Choir (NZSSC) can now claim they are the best in the world. The choir of 53 singers, which includes Nelson College student Charle Rainey were awarded the title of Children’s Choir of the World at the prestigious Llangollen Eisteddfod in Wales on Thursday. Regarded as one of the world’s most inspirational cultural festivals this event has been staged every summer in Llangollen since 1947. Each year around 4,000 performers and as many as 35,000 visitors converge on the small Welsh town and its International Pavilion. After being selected to submit a pre-recorded digital entry, NZSSC not only took out first place in the Senior Children’s Choir category, but were also crowned Children’s Choir of the World, the best of all children’s choirs competing this year. While all other competitors from England, Wales and the USA appeared live on the Llangollen Pavillion stage, NZSSC’s video performance was played to the judges and audiences live during the competition session. “We are over the moon to win this incredible title.” says Music Director Sue Densem. “I’m grateful to all the singers and the team to reach this quality of performance during 2 years of pandemic and disruptions. It’s just incredibly exciting and

NZSSC performed at the Nelson Centre of Musical Arts on Monday, the first performance in the region since 2006. Charle says he was very excited to perform in his own town. “The repertoire that we sing in this choir is so diverse and fresh. It’s not that choral music you’d expect. He says he hopes the performance could encourage more local young people to audition for the choir. Nelson MP Rachel Boyack, an alumni of the choir, says she was delighted by the award. “The Llangollen Eisteddfod is one of the world’s most prestigious choral competitions.
New Zealand choirs always perform well on the international stage because of our unique choral sound, and the commitment to excellence from our New Zealand choirs and their leaders.” “New Zealand choral music is special as it celebrates New Zealand’s diverse history, and includes Māori and Pacific waiata and song that is unique to New Zealand and the Pacific.” “Particular congratulations to Nelson local Charle Rainey. Having known Charle since he was a Chorister at Nelson Cathedral when I took the junior choir, I’ve loved watching his progress, and am incredibly proud of his achievement.”

Defending champs Marist knocked out in semi-final clash PETER JONES AND JACK MALCOLM Central and Kahurangi will meet in the final of the 2022 Tasman Trophy club rugby competition after both sides ground out semi-final wins over the weekend. Central beat defending champs Marist 26-22 at Lansdowne Park while Kahurangi battled past Renwick 29-20 in Riwaka. Next Saturday’s final will be staged at Lansdowne Park, the home ground of the top qualifier, Central. The home side have been in imperious form of late, but certainly did not have things their own way in their semi-final matchup. Playing into a stiff nor’westerly breeze, they held a 19-15 lead at halftime after scoring three tries to Marist’s five penalty goals. Central quickly pushed out to 26-
15 after the break, but then had to withstand a later push from the visitors. A converted try to first five Sam Briggs, who scored all of Marist’s points, closed the gap to four and left the outcome in the balance until the final whistle blew. The match ended with Marist hot on attack, going to their favoured lineout drive option from a penalty, seeking the five points that would snatch victory from the Blues’ grasp. However, the home side gambled on cutting off Marist’s lineout throw, hoisting lock Jack Powell, who claimed possession to deny the visitors a chance to defend their title next week. Kahurangi’s win was convincing in the end; but after beating Renwick the week prior in a hardfought 11-7 battle, it was always going to be a war. While Renwick were never able
With heavy contact a theme throughout the game, Kahurangi were more willing to give the ball space and width and were rewarded for their game plan, says coach Brendon Smith. “Renwick have big boys who defend really well around the ruck.” “Obviously, with their big boys we wanted to take that away from them.” He says when they did at times stray from their plan was when Renwick found success. Marist first five-eighth Sam Briggs’ efforts weren’t enough after he “We lacked the ability to hold scored all of his team’s points during their semi-final loss to Central onto the ball. . . we got caught at Lansdowne Park.

Perfect record puts Sports Martial Arts Gym on the map JACK MALCOLM A selection of first-time fighters from Nelson’s Sports Martial Arts gym have made a clean-sweep in the recent WAKO National League Grassroots event. All eight of their fighters won their bouts at the Auckland event, which was one of the first of its kind in the country. Head coach Sallie McArdle says the event was open to anyone who had less than five-or-six fights, but all their fighters were stepping in the ring for the first time. “Some people have been training for three months, and they went up there. It was them who stepped on the mat and in the ring.” That spirit was on full display, with Maddie Hall standing in for Sarah Randall after she was injured less than a week before her fight. Sarah, who had already booked her travel and accommodation, still travelled with the team and earned her judging certifications. It was the first time the club, which is still in its infancy, had competed against the best gyms from around the country, she says. “No one knows us, the club is less
Nine members of the Sports Martial Arts gym travelled to compete in the WAKO National League Grassroots, with all eight of their fighters winning their first-ever bouts.

Photo: Jack Malcolm. than a year old. Now we feel like a real team and people realise we’re a real club. They know us now.” With all of the top clubs around the country in attendance, she says it was a fantastic opportunity for local fighters to face new competition. “We’re kind of isolated down here. For our guys it costs a flight if they want to vs another club.”
Amateur kickboxing is scored similarly to amateur boxing, with three judges ringside tallying points for landed strikes. With two points for a head kick and one point for punches and body kicks, the winner is whoever scores the most over the three two-minute rounds. “It’s a lot faster; you’re not going for the KO,” says Sallie. “This was
more about lighter contact, the more skilful fighter will always win.” Sallie, who has a wealth of ringtime experience herself with 13 world titles over her 30-year involvement with the sport, says the club is bracing for rapid growth. “This is just the start. You’re just going to see it grow and grow now.”
The event was part of a push to help grow the amateur sport in New Zealand, with WAKO recognised by the International Olympic Committee. “New Zealand doesn’t really have much of an amateur base,” says Sallie, “The feedback from this event has been ‘this is exactly what this country needs’.”

New-look Saxton Volleyball to showcase South Island’s best JACK MALCOLM
gether on the same stage. After losing in close-butstraight sets to the Caspian in June, Hayley says the men’s team are eager to get one back. “They’re fizzing for a rematch.” She says the funds raised from the event will go back into covering the costs of out-oftown competition. “It’s going to help fund our season. We have about forty volleyballers travelling. “It definitely won’t cover everything, but it will help pay for things like competition entry fees.” Held at Saxton Stadium, entry is just a gold coin donation, with corporate tables available and raffles to be held on the day. The event aims to help raise the profile of volleyball in Nelson by showing off some of the region’s top talent, says Hayley. With Jack Hay and Harry Edwards in the men’s team and the likes of Rachel McHugh and Nia Baker in the women’s A team, action is all but guaranteed.
Nelson volleyball fans are in for a treat this weekend with Saxton Volleyball holding a showcase event on Saturday. Their women’s A and development teams will face off in a curtain raiser ahead of their men’s team game against Christchurch’s Caspian Volleyball Club. The showcase is a great opportunity for local fans to see some of the highest club-level volleyball in the country, says event organiser Hayley Ottman. It will be the first time in the Saxton Volleyball Club’s history that they have had a home game against an opponent from the Southern League, South Island’s premier competition. “There aren’t that many opportunities to see high-level club volleyball played in Nelson — this is it.” It will also be the first time in history that all three teams from the club have played to-
Jack has established himself as a top-class passer and hitter, earning Saxton men’s most improved player and setting himself up for a blockbuster season ahead, while Harry comes into the game as one of the youngest players on court as a year 13 at Nelson College, but with a mental game years above his age. While both women’s teams will be missing some of their key players, Nia has a formidable block as the tallest player on court and Rachel has formidable power and a ferocious spike. The event will also double as an unveiling for a new look Saxton Volleyball Club, with a full overhaul of their branding and adult program. As part of the showcase the team will debut their new look uniforms, which have ditched the bright purple and green. With doors opening at 3pm and games finished by 7pm, games are designed to have as little disruption as possible on viewing plans for the All Blacks game.

Giants embrace overseas coach on exchange JACK MALCOLM Keisuke Nomura says he’s taking in as much as possible, having been embedded within the Mike Pero Nelson Giants. On exchange from the Shimane Susanoo Magic, Keisuke spent several weeks with the team in an assistant coaching role before travelling back to Japan last week. He says he always wanted to be a basketball coach, having played in his youth and studied coaching at university in Japan. “Always basketball, I love basketball.” He started coaching in his junior year of university at 21-years-old, having had over six years of experience before coming to New Zealand. The trip was organised in collaboration between the Susanoo Magic’s head coach Paul Henare, the former head coach of the New Zealand Tall Blacks and Breakers, and Giants’ head coach Mike Fitchett.
Keisuke Nomura says he felt like a part of the Mike Pero Nelson Giants after spending just a few weeks with the team. Photo: Evan Barnes/Shuttersport. “Paul, he’s a friend of Mike, and he invited me to go because Nelson is a great team,” says Keisuke. He says the Japanese league is
completely different to New Zealand’s NBL, playing 60 games in their regular season. “Everybody has a full-time job
The Tasman Mako descended on Waimea Old Boys club on Monday to coach rugby skills to over 130 kids in the region. Secretary for WOB Rachael Fraine says they were approached to hold the holiday session and jumped at the chance. “We usually do something during the school break, so this was a great opportunity for local kids to learn more about the game or improve their skills.” The children were split into four groups according to age and rotated around different skill stations headed up by the Makos players. As rain had hammered the grounds over the last week, the kids were muddy in no time as they practiced everything from passing the ball and tackling team mates. “We did have a few cancelations on the morning as people were worried we were going to get rained off but the weather stayed dry all day so we were really lucky,” Rachael said. “We hope we get some new recruits next season from this, but really it’s just about the kids having fun with the Mako.” The kids were then invited to take part in a Q&A session where players signed autographs. Isaac Salmon was happy to sign one of the balls that were given out on the day. Photo: Jo Kent.

and the game is different. “New Zealand is very transitional basketball with a lot of positioning and high intensity.”
He says that intensity is missing in the Japanese leagues, but they could also learn from taking a step back. “I like the New Zealand culture, the rest and the playing. “In Japan it’s focused on job, job, job, but here you spend time with family. . . The importance of doing less.” He also says he’s fallen in love with the country, having travelled with the Giants on the road and spending time in Nelson. “I love the nature. After practice, I’ll go for a drive to the beach or the mountains and I feel refreshed.” Keisuke hasn’t forgotten why he came, though. “My dream is to be a head coach in the Japanese league. “I need to be able to talk in English, we have translators, but it’s so much better to be able to talk directly (to imported players). “I want to get to other countries and experience other cultures.”

Out Of Zone Enrolment Applications The Clifton Terrace School Board of Trustees invites applications from parents who wish to enrol their sons and daughters for 2022/23 who live outside the enrolment zone. Enrolment at the school is governed by an enrolment scheme, details of which are available on the school website www.cliftontce.school.nz. Families who wish to apply should do so in writing addressed to Rob Wemyss stating the child’s full name, date of birth and current address. The deadline for receipt of applications for out-of-zone places is Fri 29 July. Parents of students who live within the home zone should also apply by this date to assist the school to plan appropriately for next year. The board has determined that 15 places are likely to be available for outof- zone students for the next year. Preference will be given to those children who will be, or are currently in the Year 1- 3 age group. The exact number of places will depend on the number of applications received from students who live within the school’s home zone. Please note that other age groups will be considered as well. If the number of out-of-zone applications exceeds the number of places available, students will be selected by ballot. If a ballot is required it will be held on Fri 5 August 2022. Parents will be informed of the outcome of the ballot within three school days of the ballot being held. Rob Wemyss Principal Clifton Terrace School
