On housing I have concern we are putting too much to Housing NZ and not using local providers. A priority of mine is putting more support to those providers.
On civic investment If there was a number one civic investment for me, it is that hugely-exciting pro posal of the Cawthron Institute with the port of Nelson to build a world-leading ocean research education envi ronmental centre for New Zealand.
On civic investment Debt is a very useful tool for making sure that all the people that benefit from a resource pay for the resource. It’s a much bigger cost to not invest now for future generations.

night I’ve always stood very clear on my principles. People know where I stand.
With cats out of the way, it was time to get into a heavier conversation around transport.
“Tim you can make things up but it does not make them true. I have never in my life been told how to vote,” responded Rohan.
Nick said the region is getting just a “teeny fraction” of the $100 million in fuel tax and road user charges that the region is paying. “What I will not have is Nelson getting crumbs off the table when we’ve got big transport needs.”
On transport We do need another route, that’s be come clear over the past few weeks, whether it’s a tunnel under the hill... all this flowery talk about adding lanes is not going to produce a result. You need the roads to get to football games.
On transport This is about choice. What we need to do is a whole bunch of programmes that will enable people to get around their city in a range of ways. They are the ones ignoring evidence that new roads do not reduce congestion.

The first question of the night was a reader question about micro chipping cats, which drew the first round of disagreement amongst the candidates, mainly with Rohan and Matt very supportive, Tim and Ker ry only happy to look at the policy if it was supported by the majority of residents and Nick less convinced.

raised his voice and described it as something he has learned from and deeply regrets. “I don’t know any body who’s served 30 years in par liament without some controversy.”
On housing, Matt’s idea is to “build up”, creating apartments above the city’s car parks. Nick said it needs to be a range of options including apartments, green field develop ment and intensification.
He claimed he, himself, has been a victim of bullying, having to toler ate political party bullying around the council table.

It’s quite a feat that the youngest of the Nelson City mayoral candidates acted the most mature and the old est the least. But, that’s how it played out at the Great Nelson Weekly Mayoral Debate at Kismet Cocktail & Whisky Bar on Sunday night.
“They’re the ones ignoring 30 years of evidence that says that building new highways will not relieve con Candidatesgestion.” were then questioned on the culture at council which has been described by some as ‘toxic’. Nick said he would be challenging to council staff. He then dropped that he was polled as “DOC’s favou rite minister in 25 years”.
Sparks fly at mayoral debate
On housing Housing is so much bigger than a single project here and there. We need to focus on solutions.
To watch the debate in full, head to the Nelson Weekly Facebook page.
While Kerry Neal, 84, started with a few barbs about “men being men” and yearning for a time when “di versity was the Sheila next door” which was met with some groans from the audience.
The inspiration for our debate was the Back Bencher television show where politicians were interviewed at a packed pub in Wellington. It sometimes got rowdy, and the candidates were immediately called out if they said something marginal. So, we decided to replicate it.
That too was well-received, and it felt like we’d started something that was important and that we had to continue.
On housing For me, the Maitai is a taonga I want it to be protected for future generations. I don’t believe you protect things that are precious by increasingly sprawling into your valleys. We’ve got to go up.
Simply, Nelson is an incredible place to live but we want it to be better, so picking the right candi date to lead our city is important. Our goal isn’t to tell you who the right candidate is, it’s to help you decide who the right candidate is for you.
On housing We would put our boots on in the morning and we would go out and build a house, some times we’d say ‘oh heck we haven’t got a permit’, because we knew what we were doing...

Finally, thank you to Johny O’Donnell for moder ating the debate, Nick and Kymberly Widley for hosting the debate at their bar. Dave Evans from NakedEye for filming and JR Robinson at VenueT ech for the sound work. Also, to the Nelson Weekly team for making it happen.
Something you might not know Out of exasperation a current councillor (Mel Courtney) used to refer to Kerry as “The Ayatollah of Atawhai”.
Kismet played host this time around and it creat ed an intimate atmosphere that we were after. We wanted the candidates to feel under pressure and I think they did. So, getting back to the question in the headline, why do we host this debate?
Matt QuoteLawreyofthe
Something you might not know As a small boy Matt once jammed a toast crust so far up his nose, he had to go to hospital to have it removed. It was Vo gels, in case anyone was wondering…
Footnote: A huge thanks to the five invited candi dates for coming along and taking part. There were two candidates that we didn’t invite, John Wakelin and Richard Osmaston due to space and timing is sues. Please seek out information on both of these candidates before casting your vote.
We tossed around a bunch of ideas on how to do this but settled on a debate for the mayoral can didates. In my years as a journalist covering the Nelson and Tasman elections, I’d been to plenty of ‘meet the candidate’ events. Often in a large hall with a smattering of people listening to candi dates speak for three minutes uninterrupted.
We did not want that.
And so, once again, we went to work to create this year’s mayoral debate, this time with a new mod erator and a new venue.
Charles took up an opportunity to live and work in the United States and neither I nor our new ed itor Sara Hollyman felt like we had the experience to moderate. So we called in Johny O’Donnell, who picked up where Charles left off in delivering a great debate.
On transport We don’t need another arterial route... If we have people stuck in traffic feeling miser able, we kind of lose one of our superpowers which is quality of life.
On transport There’s only one thing to do that’s another road, there’s only one place for it and that’s the Southern Link.
If the debate helped you make up your mind, then it succeeded in its goal.
Three years ago, former Nelson Weekly editor Charles Anderson and I were chatting about the up-coming local body elections.

Why we do the debate?
Charles hosted the debate at the Workshop pub, and it turned out to be a huge success and we had a lot of positive feedback. When we were asked if we were going to do the same for the general elec tions the following year, we thought ‘why not?’

An article titled ‘Slow water: can we tame urban floods by going with the flow?’ popped up on Facebook to day and is so relevant to my question for the mayors! It really talks to the future of Nelson, because if we ignore the changing situation, we will find the city is uninhab itable before we are in a posi tion to respond. The squeeze between river water coming off the hills and sea water pushing back into town will leave nowhere for the water to go, other than into our buildings. To me, the recent floods have elevated this discussion to critical - the Council expressed their con cern at meetings they held before the flood (I went to the golf club one focussed on the Maitai) so there is much recognition of the problem. Getting it on the political agenda is another matter, of course, because it extends well beyond an electoral term. But it does make space for a local hero to emerge and implement a vision that saves the settlement.

The three Councillors stand ing for Mayor did them selves no favours in the Weekly Mayoral Debate and made plain why the current Council is so dysfunctional. The scrapping between Matt Lawrey and Tim Skinner reflected poorly on both. It was plain that Matt Law rey’s undermining of Mayor Rachel Reese’s bid for Pres ident of Local Government NZ was motivated by petty politics rather than what was best for Nelson. I was also disappointed in Rohan O’Neill-Stevens’ dig at Nick Smith that he was too old. It was rude and arrogant. It reflected well on Dr Smith that he did not bite back. I myself would have quoted him Ronald Reagan’s famous Presidential Debate quote “I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent’s youth and inex perience”. Congrats to the Weekly for an event that was both entertaining and in formative.

Citizens Alliance say that they care fully interviewed and vetted each person before approv ing them; however it’s been revealed by the media that at least one of their candi dates (so far) has links to the anarchistic VFF group. We all also know that the can didate they are pushing for mayor, Tim Skinner, who is touting himself as ‘fami ly friendly’, is the one who was accused of assault after he pushed over an old lady to get into Council cham bers – despite having been told several times by various council members not to go to Civic House that morning because of a demonstration being held there. He was was subsequently found to have breached the council’s code of conduct, plus Skinner was issued a formal warning by the police after being accused of assaulting the woman. Ac tions do indeed speak louder than words.Lastly, pushing a group of people of like mind for council, smacks of the previous “Hands Up” group which managed to vote to gether to sway voting out comes in council a few years back.

“It is a book designed as a con versation, that the reader is in vited to join.”
A Nelson wedding photogra pher has teamed up with a lo cal illustrator to write a book to help inspire the next genera tion of young shutterbugs.
“I had to learn some things from making mistakes … but a lot of the feedback I’ve had on the book from other photog raphers is that they wish they had something like this when they were learning.”

Each chapter in the book is a conversation between Brad and his fictional mentee, Char Throughoutlie. these letters, Brad shares the fundamental skills, tools, and knowledge neces sary for Charlie to grow into a successful photographer.

Te Piki Oranga (Māori wellness services provider) kaimahi made over 1,000 calls to potentially flood-affected whānau; supporting with kai, medications, and health concerns. Closed roads, increased traffic, and heavy rains meant that many were unable to go to pharmacies for time-sensitive, specialised medications. To combat this, Te Piki Oranga sought emergency authorisation to be able to collect medications on behalf of whānau by working with doctors and pharmacists.
Here are some things you can do:
The administrative team not only called patients to reschedule appointments or change them to Telehealth – they also called patients to reassure them that their appointments or surgeries would go ahead as planned. IMT held a morning tea to thank them for their efforts.
• Breathe! Calming your breathing settles your stress response
From floods to fog, our flight nurses’ priority is to safely get patients to the specialist services they need, all over the country. The repatriation of discharged patients who had received treatment in Nelson Hospital, but were then cut off from Wairau due to flooding and road closures, was a new challenge.
• Talk to a health professional or mental health provider if you’re not coping
A variety of reactions are normal –everyone reacts differently in unfamiliar or upsetting situations. Some people may never have a reaction. Others may have delayed reactions that show up days, weeks or even months after the disaster happens.
Our administration and Incident Management Team (IMT) kept appointments going when access between Wairau and Nelson hospital sites was disrupted.
Experiencing a disaster can be overwhelming. It’s normal for you and your whānau to feel upset, anxious and physically drained during and after an emergency event.
Understanding the biological reason behind why we’re feeling a certain way can help us process and work through unfamiliar emotions. During scary or surprising events, our brains react chemically – releasing adrenaline, triggering a ‘fight-or-flight’ response.
When State Highway 6 between Blenheim and Nelson closed due to slips and flooding, many patients, whānau and staff literally found themselves on the wrong side of the flood.
This response is our natural alarm system –our body telling us to be alert and ready for action. It’s there to help us, but afterwards, we can feel shaky, queasy or on-edge, and it can make it hard for us to concentrate.

Hubert was born in 1886, the youngest son of Henry and Clara Washbourn of Port Nel son. The family roots laid deep in Nelson soil with his grand father, William Everly Wash bourn, emigrating to the Nel son province in 1851.

Hubert Oscar Washbourn, a dedicated doctor and a man greatly esteemed by the com munity, died at the young age of 40 years after contracting pneumonia. The outpouring of grief from the community paid tribute to the stature of the man and the respect that was due to him.
Doctor Hubert Washbourn lost his battle with pneumo nia, dying on the 10th of July, leaving behind his wife, three children and a community in shock. The funeral was a large one with over one thousand attending. Over one hundred vehicles were in the funeral procession and floral wreaths filled several cars.
In early July 1927, the still young doctor became ill. Being devoted to his patients, he continued to work all that last week, carrying out his duties, and this weakened his body to be able to fight the ill ness. His zeal for service and his complete unselfishness made him utterly unmindful of his own condition.
He was educated at Nelson College and on leaving school took up a position on the staff of the Bank of New Zealand in Nelson City.

Braden found a hole in a frac tured defence before Hotham bagged his second with a simple eight-nine move from an attack ing scrum.
With both games played at Tra falgar Park, it was the first time fans in Nelson got to see their home team in action this season. However, it was a slow start for a side suffering from their success in previous years and missing the presence of their now numerous All Black stars.
