TDC to get new building SARA HOLLYMAN

Tasman District Council will get a new building but it’s up to the community as to whether that’s on the existing Queen St site or somewhere completely different. The bones of the current building, which currently houses some 300 council staff, was originally built in the 1960s but has been added onto four times since, the most recent being 2012. However, after inspection, it was found that the building now falls below New Building Standards, meaning it’s prone to earthquake risk and must be brought up to code by 2033. Group manager community infrastructure, Richard Kirby, says a range of options have been looked at including keeping the status quo and bringing it up to scratch. He says strengthening the building is going to cost $12-14m plus the ongoing maintenance costs which brings it up to a cost of $21-24m over the next 30 years. “Because it’s been piecemeal and is essentially five buildings put together, it’s totally inefficient and it’s an absolute rabbit warren.”

says that Julia gave them some great advice on performing live and working as a team. Vocalist Daisy Ellis says they played Julia one of their original songs and were given valuable feedback from the singer-songwriter. “She taught us things like how to play together as opposed to just focusing on ourselves, and how to have stage presence.” The competition was launched by Nelson-based duo Glenn Common

and Pete Rainey in 1988 and is now celebrating its 35th year. “We know that the arts in education play a huge role in helping our young people to face the future with a set of skills that give them flexibility, creativity, ability to cooperate and work in groups. Skills they can apply in life wherever it takes them,” says Glenn. “We also know it’s a heap of fun to just

TDC will have new building FROM PAGE 1 Richard says “there’s halls all over the show” in the building. “When you look at it from an office perspective and you work out the percentage of floor area that’s dedicated to hallways vs offices, this would be one of the highest. It’s just crazy we’ve got all of this hall space so it’s totally inefficient anyway.” Council decided last year that they wouldn’t spend the money strengthening, just to get the same building with the same inefficiencies. They also decided that rather that altering the current Long-Term Plan with an amendment and consulting the community on the options now, they would de-

He says, in 30 years’ time the estimate is that council will need a building size of 4500sqm compared with the 3700sqm it has currently. “So that would raise the question, even if we strengthen this we will still need more space anyway. It’s just a waste of money – it’s a no-brainer at this point.” Richard says it is likely that the current building would still need to be pulled down if they were to build on a new site. “The property itself is probably worth quite a lot of money, this could be quite an ideal property for a commercial development, so in moving out it’s not a cost as such there’s still an investment here that could be realised.” Various sites have been con-

sidered for a new build including near Network Tasman in Hope, on space at Berryfields, and various sites around Richmond’s town centre. Private developers have also been approached who have come back with viable options for a leasescheme. Council is also in early discussions with other government entities about possibilities of leasing space in any new building. Richard says the important thing council wants ratepayers to understand is that every option creates opportunities and whatever decision is made, it will not be a sunk cost, there will be return of some sort. Residents will have a chance to have their say from next year

Rock star coaches college kids FROM PAGE 1 get up on stage and play music.” Julia herself took part as a student back when the competition first began before going on to have major success both in a band and as a solo artist. “So to be able to come back and coach to help other students reach their potential on stage is a real honour. I’ve also got way more grey hairs because of it.” Fur Patrol were hailed as one of the most beloved bands to emerge from New Zealand in the late 90s. Their iconic song ‘Lydia’ became the most played track on NZ radio during 2000, catapulting them into the limelight. In April 2021, Fur Patrol released a 20th anniversary edition of their debut album PET, and are reuniting for a nationwide tour, which kicks off at Mapua’s The Playhouse on 11 August. The competition encompasses five rounds followed by a live performance in Auckland in September. For a full list of winners and participants, visit smokefreerockquest.co.nz.

Pinegrove Trust dissolves after four decades

The all new

JO KENT

is in store now

A trust which has been providing annual grants to the Brightwater community since 1986 has been drained of funds and dissolved after recruiting trustees became “too challenging”. Laura Hill, a long-term resident of Brightwater, left a bequest to the community which led to the establishment of the Pinegrove Trust in the mid1980s. Annual grants from the trust have delivered support to many community groups and individuals in the area, including Pinegrove Kindergarten, Wanderers Sports Club and Brightwater School. Pinegrove Trust chairman Tim King says he’s been involved for the best part of 20 years. “It’s sad from the point of view that annual grants are no longer going to be available, but it just became increasingly challenging to maintain.” Most of the trustees have volunteered for decades, however, the difficulty of recruiting people to take on those roles has led to the decision to wind it up. What was a low interest environment is now quite a high inflation environment,” Tim says. “With a relatively small amount of money and

Photo: Jo Kent. a relatively small annual grant pool, and there are liabilities and responsibilities that come with trustees which have made it harder and harder to get people to be involved.” Over the last 12 months, the trust began providing larger grants, including to the land purchase at Snowden’s Bush. The donation was both an opportunity to support the purchase and to commemorate Laura Hill’s contribution to the community as it will now be known as the Laura Hill Reserve. “It’s a permanent reminder in the community of Laura Hill,” says Tim.

“I’d like to thank all the people who have been trustees over the years, but the key people to thank are all those who have put in applications over the years because most of those are volunteer groups who do a great job and are constantly having to look for money and resources and fundraise.” Tim hopes the trust has set up a number of those groups with capital amounts to provide them some new facilities. “We’ve also left some key resources in the community with the last round of funding, along with a long-term recognition of Laura Hill’s contribution.”

Nursing students quit due to high workloads JENNY NICHOLSON and MAX FRETHEY Almost a third of nursing students around the country are dropping out due to financial strain and high workloads, and Nelson Tasman has not escaped the trend. A local woman, who asked not to be named, started her nursing degree at NMIT earlier this year and says she pulled out of the course after finding the workload, combined with parenting and supporting her family, too much. “I didn’t want my children to have a grumpy mum all the time,” she

says. After a day in the classroom at the polytechnic, she would have further study in the evening, often staying up till 2am to study and complete assignments as well as juggling part-time work. She left after the first term but has heard from other students in her class that the second term is even busier. NMIT executive director Olivia Hall confirmed that NMIT has seen an increase in the number of students enrolled into Bachelors of Nursing (BN), rising from 136 students in 2019 to 173 last year ,but that students do drop out.

Of the 81 students enrolled in the first year of the Bachelor of Nursing degree in 2021, 26 dropped out. She says reasons cited for dropping out included relocation, non-attendance, ill health, the inability to comply with requirements of NMIT’s vaccination policy, and students changing their mind. Olivia also says that several students in the second and third years of their programmes had put their degrees on hold but intended to return to study, while two others in their second year left due to the vaccine mandate.

“If a student wishes to withdraw from a programme, NMIT staff work with them to see if there is anything NMIT can do to support or assist them to continue with their studies.” But despite large numbers of first year students dropping out, the course completion rate for nursing degrees in 2021 was 97 per cent. Olivia acknowledges that it can be stressful for some students to complete the programme. “Juggling shift work, study, parenting and other commitments is a challenge for many students.” She says that students enrol into

nursing study with an understanding of the course’s costs and requirements, but various support options are available such as travel and accommodation support for nursing students, nursing scholarships, and additional support from SANITI (NMIT’s student association). “NMIT has high retention of students due to small class sizes, one-on-one tutor support, and campus-wide learner support services.” Olivia says the introduction of free fees for all years of study and paid placement would potentially be a benefit to all students.

Going purple to support elderly Staff and seniors at the Richmond Age Concern office had a purple-themed morning tea on World Elder Abuse Awareness Day last week to bring attention to the issue. Back in May, the community were asked to knit peggy squares in shades of purple to show support for the event. AgeConnect coordinator Marnie Brown says they ended up with close to 1000 squares being made. “We had so many that we made around 20 quilts, each using 40 squares. We even had enough for bunting.”

Some of the quilts were given away as spot prizes on the day. Elder abuse response advisor Mal Drummond says running a public awareness campaign shines a light on what goes on behind closed doors. “Victims of this type of abuse can experience significant hardship and distress that impacts on their quality of life in a harmful way.” If you suspect an older person is not being treated well or want to report abuse to Age Concern Nelson Tasman, call 03 544 7624.

Get your property and get out - Judge TRACY NEAL

Open Justice Reporter

The .22 rifle was part of a licensed collection and not registering it was a simple oversight, he said at the time. Police prosecution told the court today that the family harm team had indicated that the complainant in this instance had “definitely wanted a protection order” but given the circumstances local police might be able to help him get his property out of the house. Judge Sainsbury said Bolstad had said he did not want to have anything to do with the person at risk, but wanted to get his property items back, but he risked breaching the temporary order in place. It would also be difficult getting a third party to retrieve his items, mainly because of the onus that placed on anyone else to gather the correct items. “The person at risk wants nothing to do with him and is afraid of him – whether that’s because of what the police said or because of what he has done,” said Judge Sainsbury. He advised Bolstad to take the offer of liaising with local police to remove his items, and from then on he would not need to have anything further to do with the complainant. He added that because the horses were on an adjoining property, that did not prevent him looking after them, as long as he stuck to that. “Get your property and get out of there – just stay away from the protected person.”

Wakefield School’s All Blacks win JO KENT

All Blacks stars Joe Moody and Anton Lienert-Brown paid a visit to Wakefield School on Monday after local grandparent Lyn Baigent won a competition for a visit. The promotion was run in conjunction with Four Square and Weet-Bix and offered schools across the South Island the chance to spend the morning with the rugby players and take part in triathlon-style activities. “I have two grandsons at the school who were super excited when they found out I had won,” says Lyn. In a twist of fate, Lyn hadn’t actually entered the competition herself, instead the manager at Wakefield Four Square had filled out the form on her behalf. “It was the first day of lockdown last August and I

couldn’t get to the shops, so I called the store and put in my order, which included a box of Weet-Bix. Ruth filled out the entry form for me and the first I knew about it was when I got the call to say I’d won.” The whole school took part in the morning which kicked off with the kapa haka group performing to welcome the sports stars. Principal Peter Verstappen says that it is overwhelming to think that they were lucky enough to be the school to win the prize. “To top it off, it’s such a great story of our community helping each other out because of the way the winning entry came about. The whole school have been waiting for this day for so long as it’s been postponed for a while.” The students spent the morning taking part in five different events, from a giant inflatable

obstacle course to creating their own personalised ‘stat attack’ cards, all culminating in a run down the finishing line to receive a gold medal. Lyn’s grandsons, Kyro, 11, and Jaxon, 8, couldn’t believe it when they found out about the win. “I was just excited to meet the All Blacks, so when I got to shake their hands it was awesome,” says Kyro. The athletes took the time to answer a quick-fire round of questions supplied by the students and Anton was keen to pass on the advice his own father had given him when he was at school. “Work harder than everyone else is what he told me and I still do. It was always my dream to play for the All Blacks since the age of four, but I never imagined it would become a reality. So dream big as dreams can come true.” The festoon lights in Richmond’s Sundial Square are a way for the community to show support to different causes. Richmond Unlimited’s Sheena Murtagh says they have changed the lights to blue and yellow to support Ukraine. “To show solidarity to the Ukrainian people in the ongoing conflict, the lights will be blue and yellow until further notice.” It’s thought they will switch to yellow in August for Daffodil Day, and people are invited to make suggestions by sending requests info@ richmondunlimited. co.nz.

A horse breeder locked out of his former partner’s property, to where he had only recently moved, has been advised by a judge to find a way to move on quickly. “Get your property and get out of there,” Judge Noel Sainsbury told John Bolstad who appeared in the Nelson District Court via video link from the custody cell where he had been held overnight Sunday. Bolstad admitted two charges of failing to comply with a police safety order, but all he was worried about was his horses and who was caring for them on the Murchison property, in the southern Tasman District. “I have money tied up in imported horses,” he told the court. The 62-year-old New Zealand-born Australian stockman was reported in 2019 as wanting to establish an Australian heritage stock horse stud farm in the South Island with two imported heritage stock horse stallions. He had recently moved to Murchison but as it transpired, things turned sour when Bolstad claimed the police informed his partner of his past. Bolstad’s lawyer Mitchell Friend told the court today that there was no violence which had triggered the reasons he found himself in court, and that the matter was based on history. The Otago Daily Times reported in 2019 that Bolstad spent 30 years working as a stockman on cattle stations in Australia before he returned to New Zealand after being given the choice of a ‘’lengthy jail sentence or being deported’’ for owning an unlicensed firearm.

Super Starr climbs new heights for hospice JO KENT Wakefield man Simon Starr has set off to climb the highest mountain in the French Alps to fundraise for Nelson Tasman Hospice. “Losing my wife Alison to breast cancer has taught me to embrace adversity and push personal limits,” Simon says. “So even though climbing Mont Blanc will be a challenge, it’s nothing compared to what Alison and others with cancer had to face.” Simon previously climbed Mount Everest in 2019 with his son Dean and raised almost $19k for hospice. “I was the oldest man on the mountain, but I wouldn’t have changed a thing.” The 63-year-old has been in training for a while and has had several sessions at an altitude chamber in Christchurch to help him deal with the lower oxygen levels he’ll face. When they arrive, they will have two days of prepping, two days of practicing lower climbs and on the last day they undertake the big climb. “We start at 1am and walk for 10 to 14 hours to the top. We’ll have ice axes and crampons to help with the conditions.” Mont Blanc rises 15,774ft above

Photo: Supplied. sea level and borders Italy and France. “I’ve since found out it’s the summit with the most fatalities on the planet at around 100 people a year. I really shouldn’t have Goo-

gled that.” He says some of the training they’ve faced has been intense. “We’ve put ourselves in positions of real adversity in training but we know we can come back from

it, unlike people in hospice, and that’s why we do it. For the cause.” Alison will be accompanying him on the trip in a locket which has been around his neck since she died in 2018.

“She continues to travel the world with me. The kids took me to Hong Kong for my 60th and we sprinkled some of her ashes from a ferry. But when we looked over the side, she’d landed on the boat instead of the water. She’d have laughed at that.” Simon says hospice is at the heart of every challenge and each dollar raised makes a real difference. “When life is good, hospice is the furthest thing from your mind. But when your life is in jeopardy, you need to reach out and that’s when you’ll see the true worth of hospice.” Hospice’s $3 million funding shortfall continues to grow each year but is largely reduced as a result of fundraising and donations from the community. Head of supporter engagement and income development for hopsice, Donna Ching-Tregidga, says Simon, along with his three children, are incredible longterm supporters of its services and have helped fundraise in many ways. “We wish him the best of luck on this trip and can’t thank him enough for helping us once again.” If you’d like to donate, visit ‘Mont Blanc for Hospice’ on Givealittle.

Pantry for those in need JO KENT

William, 7, and Niko, 9, have recently completed their 12-week course of swimming lessons at the Richmond Aquatic Centre. They’re just two of 100 kids in the first batch of SwimMagic lessons that have been funded by NBS. The lessons are for those in the community who aren’t normally able to afford to give their kids the opportunity to learn to swim and be safe in the water. The aquatic centre’s Crystal Gaiger says the programme is a great experience for kids to not only learn how to swim but to grow their confidence. Children who participate also receive a free NBS swim bag complete with towel and a pair of goggles, a first for the programme. Applications are now open for the next 100 children to take part in the fully-funded lessons. More information can be found on the Richmond Aquatic Centre’s website: clmnz.co.nz/richmond.

Helping Families has launched a free community pantry offering food for those in need. Open 24/7, the cabinet contains everything from pasta and coffee to tinned goods and toiletries. Pantry coordinator Jamie Taylor says the idea behind it is to give people food security that they might not have in times of need. “People can come and get a meal or top up their store cupboard essentials whenever they need to, no questions asked. They can come and get breakfast for the kids or something for lunch.” Initially the pantry will be left unlocked day and night and it’s hoped that people won’t abuse that trust. “The concept is ‘take what you need, leave what you can’. So, if you can bring something non-perishable for someone else, that would be amazing.” Founder Kristy Fielding says the pantry requires cooperation, kindness, generosity and respect to work effectively. “To ensure there is enough for the whole community, please observe our limit of four items each time you visit.” Donations are coming in from all over the region from businesses

Helping Families’ Jamie Taylor and Kristy Fielding say their pantry is always full for those who need help.

unlocked is that people are free to drop off their donations whenever suits them.” Kristy says excess fruit and vegetables from gardens are gratefully accepted too. If you are a local business or individual and would like to participate in the initiative or donate food or money, please contact info@helpingfamilies.org.nz

Just a thought... DARYL BAY

Pastor, Hope Community Church

One of the best pieces of relational wisdom I know is this: “Be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to become angry.” Imagine if we practised that. It applies at home, in the public square, or with people we disagree with. You may catch yourself “listening” to rebut, to argue and to win a point. That relational pearl, taken from the Bible (James 1:19), is a gift rarely given. Listening to someone like that says: You are worth my time and attention. It can communicate love more powerfully than words. Consider the person who embodied this wisdom in the most amazing way: Jesus of Nazareth. He was described as being full of grace and full of truth. He claimed: “I am the way, the truth and the life.” (John 14:6). His grace means that we can open our hearts to him, and be changed forever. That’s real love.

End of an era for Snowden’s Bush JO KENT

Safety around underground boxes Are you one of the many people who have wondered “What are all the little black and grey boxes on the footpath/ side of the road …?”

The past four years have gone by in a flash for Janice Gibbs. In June 2018, she came up with the idea of fundraising enough money to buy the land at the front of Snowden’s Bush Reserve to save it from development and gift it back to the Department of Conservation (DOC). This Sunday she was officially able to hand over the land to DOC after an army of volunteers helped make her dream a reality. “We never thought it would take so long to get to this day, but we have Covid to thank for that,” she says. “Now we are here, it’s such a relief to be able to leave the land in the capable

hands of DoC and the Friends of Snowden’s Bush.” The Snowden’s Bush Trust will now cease to exist with the final $10,000 vested to Tasman Environmental Trust, but ringfenced to support pest control and the ongoing protection of the land to be true to the donations which were made. The land was bought in March 2021 after a huge $350k public fundraiser. The purchase project began in October 2018 when the land was earmarked for housing development, with a view to permanently protecting ancient totara and matai trees, and expanding the reserve to include the frontage along Waimea West Road. “It would have been a tragedy

to have lost this front block of Snowden’s Bush and we’re indebted to the people who made the decision not to fell this last stand of bush over 100 years ago,” says board of trustees member Nick Smith. Nick says he was inspired by them and the number of people in Brightwater who volunteered their time to pest control so that the community might enjoy some of our native birds. “I couldn’t have done it by myself and I’m so grateful to each and every donation, whether that be money or time, given by the community. We can all breathe a sigh of relief knowing our efforts have made a real difference,” Janice says.

These are Network Tasman’s ‘underground boxes’. They are the protective covers we place over the fuses that connect the underground power cables to the service cables conveying electricity to your house or business. As these boxes have live electrical components inside them, it’s important for public safety that they have securely fitted covers. We have about 12,000 underground boxes on our network, most of them in urban areas. As they are generally in public spaces they sometimes get damaged when: z

vehicles accidentally run into them, causing the cover to loosen or crack

people drill holes or insert screws into them

some have their covers removed by people not authorised to do so.

These are all dangerous situations, as they can expose you to the live electrical parts inside the box and put you at risk of electrocution. If a box gets repeatedly damaged by vehicles, we will look at putting protective bollards around it. Underground boxes must be left alone and only networkapproved contractors are permitted to remove the covers. Putting screws into an underground box or drilling holes into one is extremely dangerous! If anything ever causes you to need to interact with a box please phone us. If you accidentally damage an underground box, or if you see one that has been damaged, let us know straight away by phoning our fault line 0800 508 100. If you have any questions about the electricity industry or would like to suggest a potential topic for Network Tasman’s monthly column, please send us an email with ‘News Article’ in the subject line to info@networktasman.co.nz

GRAEME K. TYREE AND STAFF REPORTER Four ships left England for Nelson between 11 and 26 September 1841. The ship’s surgeons played an important role, caring for the sick, and supervising the distributions of food rations and fresh water. Responsible for diet, they also ensured food was properly cooked, cabins ventilated, bedding aired. At 600 tons, the Mary Ann was the largest of the ‘first four’ and carried 21 cabin passengers and 174 emigrants. Dr Charles J. R. Cook was the surgeon and played a major part in the overall success of the voyage. He had a vested interest in his passengers as he was paid a set fee for every person arriving safely in Nelson but paid a penalty of one pound for every death in transit. He was also given free passage, paid 50 pounds, and given one pound for every baby born on board. He was issued with a comprehensive medical chest, including stout and castor oil. When the Fifeshire was leaving Nelson, winds were light, and they didn’t reach the narrow entrance until the tide had been ebbing for some time. The ship had almost passed through when the wind failed, and the tide carried her onto Arrow Rock. Men scavenged

Photo: Supplied. the Fifeshire wreck for materials to start a new colony. A bridge in Hardy Street was constructed from salvaged materials, as well as a German church in Appleby. The Lloyds arrived in Nelson on February 15, 1842. There were 65 deaths of children under 14 years of age. Eight of those were from whooping cough. Another 57 died of malnutrition, di-

#nvw2022

19-25 JUNE 2022

Time to Shine / He wā pīataata National Volunteer Week 19-25 June 2022 honours the collective energies and mana of all our volunteers in Aotearoa. More than one million people across Aotearoa volunteer for an organisation, contributing $4 billion to the economy. Much more happens within communities and informally between people. Covid-19 has put a spotlight on the voluntary sector. It highlighted the sector’s vital contribution to unity, kindness and the wellbeing of New Zealanders. It mobilised younger people to fill in when vulnerable volunteers had to stand down. It saw whānau and friends uniting behind things that mattered most to them.

This year, National Volunteer Week coincides with the new public holiday for Matariki (24 June). Matariki is the time many

Māori and an ever-growing number of Tauiwi in Aotearoa and around the world gather family and friends and reflect on the

past, celebrate the present and plan for the future. This Te Wiki Tūao ā-Motu / National Volunteer week, the theme

is ‘Time to Shine / He wā pīataata.’ If you are one of those who has been thinking about getting involved in your community and making a difference, then the Volunteer Expo is a great place to start your search. This unique expo will take place on Saturday 25 June from 10am to 2pm at the Annesbrook Community Church, Saxton Road. The exhibitors are all community organisations that depend and need volunteers. It’s a great opportunity to have a face-to-face conversation about volunteering. There are over 30 community organisations to speak to, providing a wide range of opportunities. Nelson Tasman Hospice is a critical organisation for the region offering palliative care for an average of 240 patients monthly. Krisca Gould, the volunteering programme manager, says “Volunteers give their time to enhance our services. Some of our volunteers help free

She says, “My role is to have conversations with local people and I always go home with a big smile on my face. At the end of the day, I know I’ve done something really good for those people I’ve sat with, and for the community.” Volunteer Nelson is the hub for volunteering. Ellie Young, Community Coordinator at Volunteer Nelson, says “Volunteering is a great way to connect and participate in your community. It's a win for your own well-being and supports the mahi of local organisations." She encourages people to go to their website www.volunteernelson.org.nz and look at the opportunities on offer. Also, check out their Facebook page https://www. facebook.com/Volunteernelson Let’s take the time to reflect /

whaiwhakaaro on all those who give mahi aroha / volunteer for their communities. It’s a time to recognise and celebrate volunteers, a time to shine / pīataata.

It’s Matariki, a new year and a fresh start; a time to dream / moemoeā and make plans for the future. St John Nelson and Tasman Bays are thrilled to be launch-

ing the St John Therapy Pets Programme in the region and are currently recruiting volunteers with friendly pooches to join the team in bringing furry cuddles and huge smiles on the faces of

all they visit. Whether it’s wagging tails, nose boops, or nudging heads demanding all the pats, the power of pets on our well-being is huge! St John Therapy Pets Programme has more than 250 volunteers sharing their pets throughout New Zealand. Visiting schools, libraries, rest homes, hospitals and other health services, these furry friends can help children with their reading, boost wellbeing, ease loneliness, and provide distraction and comfort. Community Engagement Coordinator, Sarah Carpinter, says, “If you have a suitable pet and an hour per week to spare, you could be a Therapy Pets volunteer! We would love to have you join us.” Email sarah.carpinter@stjohn. org.nz for more information on how you can help! At the Nelson Environment Centre, we’re all about keeping things OUT of landfill and IN use for as long as possible.”

Dr Seuss inspires first play KATE RUSSELL A play that has been seven years in the making has finally become a reality for Nelson’s Dr Seuss-loving deputy mayor. Judene Edgar’s debut show, ‘Horton Hatches a Controversy’, is debuting at the Red Door Theatre tomorrow night as part of the Nelson Fringe Festival. She says it has always been a dream to write her own play. “I was acting in a show in the first Nelson Fringe Festival, and decided that I’d like to write a play,” she says. “As the years went on, I was a fringe volunteer, contractor, and trustee, and every year I would think ‘I should write my play’, but I finally put pen to paper this year and wrote a play … about Dr Seuss.” What might seem like an unlikely topic, Judene says she’s been a fan of Dr Seuss books for as long as she can remember. “Once I had children it became more acceptable to be a collector of Dr Seuss books. “But my boys know that they’re really mine.” But it’s not just the ‘Cat in the Hat’ or ‘Green Eggs and Ham’ it’s also his rare books written for adults. “I also have his political cartoons from World War II which have

The Beths announce Nelson show Auckland band The Beths are bringing their biggest headline tour yet to Nelson this spring. The quartet are playing at the Theatre Royal on 24 September. This will follow the release of their new album, Expert In A Dying Field, on 16 September. The band’s third LP houses 12 jewels of tight, guitar-heavy songs that worm their way into your head, an incandescent collision of power-pop and skuzz. Go to www.theatreroyalnelson.co.nz for tickets.

so I wanted to examine what Dr Seuss might have thought about it.” While she says that the process of writing, editing, and re-writing has been a lot of work, she has also had to jump in at the deep end taking on the role of director. “I’ve been involved with a lot of plays but this time I’ve taken on a lot of new roles that I’ve never had before, so I have a newfound respect for all the work that goes into putting a show on.” Despite the challenges, she says

that the easiest part was the casting. “We have such a depth of talent in the region, so I was very lucky to get Anton Bentley to play older Dr Seuss, Matthew Edgar to play the younger Dr Seuss, and Molly Clarke to play his wife, Helen Palmer.” Horton Hatches a Controversy is on Thursday 23 and Friday 24 June at 6.00pm at Red Door Theatre (Nelson Musical Theatre, Atawhai Drive). Tickets are available from nelsonfringe.co.nz

Six artists who had never met before have come together to take advantage of an opportunity to display their artwork in the McKee Room at the Suter Art Gallery until 3 July. 4. As members of the Nelson Suter Art Society (NSAS), Danielle Yealands, Kerry Aitken, Deborah Croft, Sharron Martin, Tony Milner and Gary Gibbens all bring a fresh perspective to the exhibition, aptly named ‘A Broad Sweep - Aspects of Art’. Visitors to the exhibition will see traditional and impressionist realism through to abstract art, encaustic art and mixed media.

French Film Festival opens in Nelson MAX FRETHEY The French Film Festival’s opening night was held at the Suter Art Gallery earlier this month. More than 20 films are being shown which feature every conceivable style of cinema for all audiences - from murder mysteries and comedies, to romance and action movies, including some that came out of the Cannes Film Festival. The opening night screening was a showing of Mathias Malzieu’s ‘A Mermaid in Paris’ which festival director Fergus Grady likened to the 2017 film ‘The Shape of Water’. “A real fantasy journey set with the backdrop of Paris and the Seine,” he says. “We’ve had a lot of good feedback from Auckland and Wellington so far on that film.” Other films in the festival in-

clude the World War II drama ‘Farewell, Mr. Haffman’, as well as comedies ‘The Villa’ and ‘Employee of the Month’. “The great thing about the French Film Festival is we get to pick the best of what films are made.” All 21 films are in French with English subtitles, but Fergus says that reading subtitles shouldn’t intimidate would-be moviegoers. “I always find that once you get through the first five minutes of the film, it kind of becomes second nature.” The festival will run until Tuesday 28 June with four screenings a day, with multiple reruns of the same film so there’s little risk of missing a film entirely. And as a bonus, anyone who buys a ticket to any of the festival’s films will have the opportunity to go in to win a trip to New Caledonia. Entries for

that competition are open until mid-July. Fergus says that the festival is a great event and that everyone should give one of the movies a go because French films can offer a very different experience to anything that you’ve seen before. “Try something new. The French make completely different cinema to everywhere else in the world. They’re quite imaginative, it’s fresh, it’s not anything you’ve seen before,” he says. “It’s one of their prouder exports, they’re very patriotic with their culture and with cinema. It’s something to celebrate.” More information can be found at frenchfilmfestival.co.nz and tickets can be bought at suter. statecinemas.co.nz or in person at the State Cinemas.

Festival director Fergus Grady says the 21 films that are screening are some of the best French films from over the past few years. Photo: Max Frethey.

Decades of effort wins award JO KENT Brightwater man Peter Carmody is the latest recipient of Tasman District Council’s Outstanding Community Service award, which acknowledges people who have gone above and beyond in the region for 20 years or more. “I’m a bit overwhelmed with the response but humbled by it. I didn’t do it for recognition,” Peter says. “It’s like anything, it’s the people who are on the journey with you that make volunteering a possibility, especially family and the various communities I’ve worked in.” Arriving in Brightwater from Christchurch in 1988, Peter began working for the NZ Police and has been an active member of the community ever since. Peter has been on the Brightwater Community Association for more than two decades and was nominated for his award by councillor Anne Turley. In the late 1980s, he ran a group

called the ‘Sunday Clinic’ - helping men who had problems reading and writing. Anne says his guidance helped them master skills which saw them grow in confidence and thrive. Throughout the mid-1990s Peter worked with disadvantaged youth, gaining sponsorship to enable them to participate in sport when their families couldn’t afford the costs themselves. He also coached J.A.B rugby and served on the Wanderers Rugby Club committee. Peter has been married for 40 years and has four children. He says that without the support of his wife, he wouldn’t have been able to do half as much as he did. “When I was coaching rugby, I missed out on a couple of my boys’ football games and my wife had to pick that up. “And there are other occasions where I’ve had to sacrifice family time for volunteer work, so I’m grateful for her support and that of others in the

He managed to get a stainless-steel flagpole donated and a memorial seat placed in the vicinity so people could sit and reflect at any time.

Peter says it was his mum who sparked his interest in volunteering as she worked for a charity when he was growing up. “It’s a shame that people are so time poor these days, what with the pressures of paid work they have less availability to help in the community,” he says. “There are so many who would if they could. It’s a different world now. “Receiving the award has given me pause for reflection

back over the years. It was always just a case of seeing something I thought I could make better and then setting out to make it happen.” During a stint in Murchison after the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake, Peter also saw a need there for better lighting for the vehicles used by the first responder emergency medical teams. Another fundraising scheme was launched and he quickly made $3,000 to purchase and fit the lights.

Brightwater School students competed against other Waimea schools at Rabbit Island for the 2022 Interschools Cross Country competition last Thursday. Principal Glenda Earle says it was one of the first times this year that families have been able to be on site to watch their children. To prepare for the event, the school held two different races - a competitive challenge for those who wanted to either compete to qualify for the interschool event or just to test themselves to be able to complete the longer distance. “We also had a ‘fun run’ for the other children. This allowed for inclusiveness as everyone took part. We were really impressed with the pupils who opted for the challenge event, despite it being difficult for them, and also for the encouragement and support the students gave each other on the day.” Photo: Jo Kent.

Wanderers come away with a tough win over Stoke JACK MALCOLM It was a bittersweet victory for Wanderers over Stoke, with co-captain Fletcher Matthews having to be helped from the field after a nasty collision in the dying minutes while playing in his 100th game for the club. In other results from round nine of the Tasman Trophy, Kahurangi put on a 50-0 win over Waimea Old Boys, Marist beat Waitohi 390, Central beat Renwick 60-0 and Nelson had a bye. With time all but up on the clock, Fletcher went into contact and the game immediately stopped because of concern about his safety. A stretcher was carried out, but ultimately Fletcher was able to make his way largely unassisted from the field and acknowledge the crowd as he headed straight to the sheds. Despite the late injury, Wanderers used their physicality throughout the game to pressure the Stoke defence and were able to find holes down the blind side. In the consistent drizzle, the ball-handling by both teams was

top-notch as each squad was happy to give the ball some air and spread it wide. Stoke found success when they used their speed and ability to read the game, having raced out to an early 10-point lead on the back of a Corey McKay penalty and Levi Carew being on the end of a nice series of offloads after a runaway intercept. Wanderers, not to be outdone, answered right back with a try from the rolling maul, but Stoke were quick to answer back with some slick passing down the blindside to take a 17-7 lead into the break. The second half saw more of the same, with both teams eager to run the ball and put their opposites on the backfoot. Wanderers came out hot with two quick tries down the left-hand touch line to retake the lead and Stoke were unable to mount another point-scoring attack. Fletcher’s injury and another stoppage in play for injury dragged out the final minutes, seeing Stoke work the ball from within their own half to be inches from the try

line. A series of penalties had got them close, but they were unable to close out the game as Wanderers earned a penalty with their backs against the line. Wanderers coach Ethan Reuben says it was a great effort by the club to get the win. “When you go into a game with 19 div one players, it’s pretty tough. We’re really lucky we have our div two to come up and play.” He says losing Fletcher was a big blow, but one they were able to rebound from. “Losing a guy that’s played 100 games for the club, it was pretty emotional for the boys. “Boys had always talked that if you get into a measuring competition with stoke it’s going to be a tough day.” Stoke coach Joe Kirker says he was gutted to not come away with the result after a great game. “It was going into some sort of old school footy, especially in the midfield in that boggy area. “The comp is so exciting at the moment. There’s so many teams going for those last (playoff) spots).”

Young hockey player set to chase dreams in America JACK MALCOLM Jessica Davidson is counting down the days until she gets on a jet to play and study on American soil in August. The young hockey player was awarded a scholarship to the Indiana University of Pennsylvania, where she will play for the Crimson Hawks and study psychology. She says it’s exciting to be nearly on her way after Covid-19 put her plans on the back burner for a year. “I was actually going to put it off until next year but the coach reached out (from Indiana University of Pennsylvania) and it’s one of the best in the conference.” With a passion for hockey and further study, Jessica says she can’t wait to start the journey. Jessica is a former Nelson College for Girls student, a current Federal hockey player and coach, and has represented Nelson Hockey Association and the Tasman region since 2014. As a South African-born New Zealand immigrant, she says she can’t wait to meet new peo-

ing new people and different cultures. I’m not from here orig-

inally, and when I moved it was exciting.”

Jessica used an agency to help prepare her for applying and progressing through her scholarship applications. “I was doing NCEA and SATs at the same time in year 13. I was balancing everything. “Studying, talking to coaches and playing for three teams, it was a lot.” She says finding the agency, Crimson Education, sold her on how good of an opportunity it was and that it was something actually achievable. While she is studying, she also plans to take interest papers in business and coaching, which she says she hopes to take back to New Zealand one day. “They have really good coaching courses over there. “I want to come back, or maybe stay over there, doing child psychology.” As a player, she says the scholarship is the next stage of her journey to reach her ambitions and goals. “I would love to play at a high level and for New Zealand one day. This is one of the steps to get there.”

Nelson Netball

Nelson Netball season off to a roaring start Nelson’s netball season is well underway, and all the grades from juniors right through to premier are pumping. With a new general manager at the helm in Ani-Marie Waitai and an eager group of staff and volunteers behind her, local netball is on the up and up. After back-to-back seasons that were cut short due to interruptions with Covid-19, this year has already contained a blockbuster of action. In the premier grade, the teams have not only had to deal with the standard fare of player unavailabilities but an ongoing pandemic and self-isolating have also created an exciting and ever-changing league.

This season, all the teams have struggled with players, with Prices Waimea Ahurei having been unable to field their full squad so far this season. The format has made for some exciting action, with some teams having to scramble to find players at the last minute, which has evened the playing field. “It’s taught a lot of resilience and how strong your entire team is. This is the situation and we’ve got to deal with it and step up,” says Ani-Marie. As part of dealing with the ongoing issues with player availability, Nelson Netball centre has updated their player dispensation processes to allow teams to use players from different grades more easily.

It’s one of the small changes this season that have already gone a long way in changing people’s enjoyment of the sport, Ani-Marie says. “It’s a different kind of vibe of netball this year. . . It’s a relaxed day atmosphere so people go home having enjoyed it.” They have also introduced changes that extended time between games and gave teams more of a chance to do their

warm-up and cool-downs on court. “It’s made the games office a lot more relaxed and not as hectic. “Parking seems easier too. . . and people on umpire duty for the next game have more time so people aren’t rushing from place to place.” Ani-Marie says that the minor changes they have made reflect their intentions to continue looking at how to mix things

up. The new team was appointed just ahead of this season and with insufficient time to make major changes, instead choosing to see how their small updates were received, she says. “We’re looking for feedback from the community on what they want. We’re learning and trying to adapt. “Next year, we’re looking at different ways to do things. “It’s all about giving things a go, and if they don’t work it doesn’t work, and that’s okay.” Ani-Marie says, while they are looking at doing things a little bit differently, they are still very clear on maintaining the core identity of netball in the region. “We’re all about change; but also not taking away from our traditions, which are an integral part of what we’re about.” Saturday netball is also going from strength to strength, with

every weekend so far having exciting action on the courts despite some not so exciting weather. With the adult and top two collegiate grades inside and everyone else exposed to the elements on the outdoor courts, netball in the region is looking strong. While participation is slightly down on previous years throughout the grades,

the loss of players has been far less than what they expected, having essentially missed back-to-back seasons. Ani says the support they’ve had from everyone in the community, from their sponsors to supporters, has been outstanding. She wanted to thank their ongoing support of the sport for helping Nelson Netball to continue being

able to offer the game to anyone who wants to play. “The feeling we get this year is people are really happy to be there and playing netball. “People are starting to see the bigger picture and see what we’re here for, which at the end of the day is growing a lifelong love of netball.”

The 14-year-old won the under-81kg junior U17 class with a combined score of 161kg from her two lifts. Her effort also secured a second-place finish in the open women’s class, following up a 73kg snatch with a 88kg clean and jerk. “I could’ve done more. On the day, it was mental, all in your head.” Her personal best snatch is 80kg and her best clean and jerk is 90kg.

rugby to focus on weightlifting. “On my first competition, I felt like this is my sport. It’s different and not many people do it.” Tia’s success has already seen her land sponsorship opportunities, working with Injector Mentoring who she says have been a massive support behind the scenes. Her short-term goal is to compete in the Youth World Championships, where she will need to complete grading to compete. She says her sporting idols are Megan Signal and Hayley Whiting because they are both top New Zealand lifters who have gone to higher-level competitions. Tia also wanted to thank her dad, Lester, and God for her success. You can follow all the ups and downs of Tia’s journey and the behind-the-scenes of competing on her Instagram social media account, @tia_lifting_journey.

Over 700 of the country’s top runners descended on Nelson last weekend for the annual New Zealand Secondary Schools Cross Country event. Local athletes Amelia Clark from Waimea College came second in the year 9 girls and Mia Cain-Townley finished 11th in the junior girls after winning the year 9 division last year. The pair then teamed up with Bella Cain-Townley, Zoe Bonny and Neve McKenzie to take second place in the junior girls relay. Now in its 48th year, the New Zealand Secondary Schools Cross Country is one of the biggest athletics events in the country with upwards of 1500 people involved throughout the weekend. Organiser Vern Mardon says the event went like “clockwork”, with early feedback being that every-

one enjoyed themselves and the racing action. “It was well above any expectations. “All the kids loved the course,” Vern says. With Year 9 boys, girls and junior girls racing 3000 metres, the senior females and junior boys racing 4000 metres and the senior boys racing 6000m, he says it was a lot of work to put the event on. Vern says one of the highlights of the weekend was Macleans College’s student Christian DeVall winning the 6000m senior boys race by 29 seconds against 157 other runners. “The event itself, the organisation was outstanding and the team I had behind me was just great. “The president of secondary school athletics said ‘Athletics Nelson and Tasman region are privileged to have such a great team’.”
