Tasman’s noisiest streets revealed Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Noise complaints in Richmond have increased over the past year - with one road causing a particular raucous.

Tasman District Council has revealed which 10 Richmond streets received the most noise complaints in 2020/21. Salisbury Rd topped the list with 47 complaints, with the majority of these coming from the same property. This was followed by

Stratford St, Cautley St, Main Rd Hope, Hill St, Elizabeth St, Ascot St, Gladstone Rd, Herbert St, and Youngberry Dr. Throughout the whole district, 981 noise complaints were received by the council in the last financial year - four were from

animal noise, 172 were machinery, 744 were music/parties, and 61 were ‘other’ noises. This is up from 2019/20, when there were 878 complaints. The council responds to noise complaints 24 hours a day and acts when noise is ‘excessive’ or

‘unreasonable’. They do not regulate everyday activities such as mowing lawns, DIY, sawing or planing wood, or road repairs. “These sorts of noise might be a

Zac’s Back to the Future dream comes true Jo Kent Zac Hardwick finally got to ride in his dream car last weekend after years of watching Back To The Future movies. “It was totally awesome, and I wish I could do it again,” the 13-year-old says. Zac’s grandmother, Donna McKnight, spent more than a year trying to track down car owner, Jared Dacombe, after seeing him out driving. “I knew Zac would love to see the Delorean up close,” she says. When she finally contacted Jared through social media, he offered to take Zac for a spin. “I couldn’t believe how kind of him that was,” Donna says. “It’s more than a dream come true for Zac.”

Jared, who owns Autofocus Nelson, says that he was also obsessed with Deloreans at Zac’s age and knew how much a ride in one would mean to him. “I used to look up prices of Deloreans as a 12-year-old and dream of owning one.” Just seven years later, when Jared was 19, he sold everything he owned to scrape together the $17,000 to buy one he’d seen online. “Everything got sold, PlayStation, clothes, just anything I owned. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I had to buy it.” The car had been imported to New Zealand from America in 1992, but due to the original buyer suffering poor health, they eventu-

Lockdown causes court backlog Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

The Nelson region’s justice system has not been exempt from the effects of the national lockdown. Courts are now experiencing a significant backlog while people both in and out of custody are on edge as a result of the delays. Local lawyer Mark Dollimore says the Covid-19 pandemic has put a “freeze frame” on court proceedings. “Everything has been put on hold and it is stressing out some clients.” Mark says a number of people facing smaller charges such as drink driving are just wanting to get on with their lives. Another concern for Mark is the potential loss of liberties for vulnerable clients. Due to distancing rules, clients with mental health issues are unable to have a lawyer close by as a support person. Mark worries this can also result in the client not fully comprehending what is happening. Those in custody are also experiencing anxiety as they fear a Covid-19 outbreak in jail. “There are people who have been stuck in custody for a long time before having their case heard.” Further clogging the system up are people claiming to be

Prisoners applying for electronic monitoring are also facing challenges finding an address. “If they want to go live at nan’s house, they are going to be breaking her bubble.” Mark says many clients are also resorting back to their vices as they have expressed frustration over an inability to make contact with alcohol and drug services.Though Mark says the backlog has made things difficult for many, it is an unavoidable reality to ensure community safety. Ministry of Justice spokesperson Anton Youngman says the justice system, including court, is an essential service. Any hearings that impacted the liberty of a person were going ahead, as well as hearings which protected the at-risk or

vulnerable, and other priority hearings. Many of these were taking place via video calling. Lawyer Steven Zindel says, while jury trials can now happen, the backlog is getting worse. “Clients are confused as to their court dates, especially if their contact details have changed. There are various problems with adjourned dates for certain clients.” Steven also says the spacing and mask mandate makes it difficult to talk to clients about their cases. “Email would be a help, but some clients don’t have an email address and legal aid does not tell lawyers the client’s email address even though they capture this information on the legal aid form.” He says very few cases are being heard within a year.

Local charities short of volunteers Sara Hollyman

with

sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Local organisations are crying out for volunteers after restrictions and apprehensions around Covid-19 make people more cautious about lending a hand. Natureland is desperate for more volunteer workers with only a handful of helpers to run their Nelson New to You charity store which is open six days a week. Volunteer coordinator Karen Cooper says in lockdown many people had big clear-outs and donated goods to the shop. “Our volunteers play a crucial role in helping us to achieve our conservation goals and we’d love to hear from anyone who may have a few hours to spare each week to help out.” IHC Charity Shop Richmond manager Gill Burson says they are always looking for more volunteers, but especially so in the time of Covid. “A lot of our volunteers are in the retired age bracket and with Covid and different health issues, you could always do with more help.” She says the store only has one part-time paid employee so couldn’t function without its volunteers.

Photo: Sara Hollyman. “All our profits stay in the area to help people with disabilities. We don’t put the funds towards wages, so we rely on volunteers. A lot of volunteers do more than one shift but any extra help would be great,” Gill says. However, St John Ambulance found lockdown had the opposite effect on volunteer numbers. National operations manager ambulance volunteering, James Stewart says during August they saw volunteer applications double compared with July. “Nationally in July we had 120 applications to be an ambulance volunteer, in August that number was up to 240.” James credits the extra time at home for people to reconsider their life priorities

for the jump in applications but says once life returns somewhat to normal, often people feel like they don’t have enough time to follow through with the commitment. St John has 240 ambulance volunteers in Tasman. Volunteer Nelson manager Gordon Oldfield also found more people decided they wanted to contribute to the community by becoming a volunteer during the lockdowns. “However, once lockdown ended many felt apprehensive about going out and doing that volunteering so there was an internal conflict between the desire to volunteer and going out and doing it.” He hopes that with a high uptake of vaccination, it won’t be so bad this time round.

“Laughing in the face of cancer” 4 August 2021 The cabaret held at the Playhouse Theatre on 6 August raised $2857 to be shared between Anna Stephens, a 42-year-old local woman suffering from terminal cancer, and the Nelson Hospice. Organiser Rachel Yerbury says they actually made over $3000 before printing and advertising costs were taken off. “Even though we had only sold 40 tickets online, we packed out the Playhouse with around 90 folk. True Nelsonians not booking in advance!” she says. On Anna’s bucket list was performing a song from The Greatest Showman to a live audience, and she got to do just that at the cabaret. “All the acts were fantastic,” says Rachel. “And Anna’s rendition of Never Again got a standing ovation.” “Restoring the strings of history” 21 July 2021 Dave Gilberd who was given the task of restoring an 80-year-old mandolin from wartime Europe says he’s now around 70 per cent of the way through the job. “The neck was broken, so I’ve fixed that, that was the first part.” He says he’s also removed the back to get inside the instrument. “The front had loads of little cracks in it that I could only patch from the inside. So I went in and did that before starting on the binding.” The side of the mandolin was made up of lots of tiny pieces of wood-

Jo Kent en mosaic tiles that Dave had to remove individually. “I had to take them all out and put them back in again with some grain filler to fill the joins. It’s been quite an intricate task.” However, he says the hard work has been done so now it’s just a case of making it look good before giving it back to the owner’s husband. Sadly, the original owner died from an aggressive form of cancer before Dave could finish the job, so the mandolin will now be passed down to her grandson. “Lockdown lesson leads to Triassic fossil find” 1 September 2021 After reading about Cooper Kent’s fossil hunt last week, Judith Harper was reminded of all the happy times she’d spent with family in the Richmond creeks over the years. So, she contacted the Waimea Weekly to see if Cooper would like her fossils to add to his collection. “I’ve had a bowl full of fossils on my table for such a long time. But now all the children have grown up, it’s time to pass them on to someone who will love them as much as I have.” Cooper was thrilled to get such a thoughtful gift and plans on sharing them with his friends in Year 2 at school. “After showing my class the fossils on Zoom, some of my friends have been to the creek too. So I can’t wait to show them these new ones,” he says.

Children at Waimea Kindergarten got a magical surprise when they returned after Level 4 lockdown, discovering that fairies had set up camp in their garden. Teacher aide Carolyn Wastney spent hours creating fairy houses and associated decorations through lockdown as a way to pass the time. “I knew the children would enjoy it. “I did a few last year during lockdown but nothing quite like this.” What started as a garden last year has now grown to a full village. Carolyn created houses from branch offcuts and glued individual pieces of pinecone to create the roofs. She went as far as creating a washing line with tiny fairy clothes pegged to it and a picnic table with miniature teacups. The children say that’s their favourite feature.

Staff say the children were absolutely delighted with the arrival of the fairies at kindy, which became more special by the day thanks to Carolyn. Carolyn would make the effort to come back to kin-

dergarten every evening around 6pm to set new scenes for the children to discover the following morning during Alert Level 3. She says, once the region moved to Alert Level 2, the

fairies inevitably had to go back to work so it simply was not possible for them to visit every single day of the week. However, depending on their workload, they still do make appearances ... from time-to-time.

Slice of Wakefield history up for sale Jo Kent Reporter

jo@waimeaweekly.co.nz

One of Wakefield’s oldest buildings is currently for sale after being privately owned for 23 years. Built in 1909, it’s a category 2 heritage building, which means the inside can be updated but the outside façade can’t be touched. Bayleys listing agent Lydia Heyward says after being listed for just two weeks, she’s already had so much interest in the 112-yearold commercial property. “I’ve had people ringing every single day since I put it up and they all have different ideas on what they would do with it.” The building was sold to two sisters in 1998 for $130,000, and initial plans were to use it as office space at the front and storage at the back. However, this venture never took off and the building has stood empty for years. The building became the village’s main post office in 1910 after it was moved from the railway station, and Wakefield School before that. “The community are keen to see it be brought back to its former glory,” Lydia says. Local resident Maureen Barton,

The building was last sold in 1998 for $130,000. Photo: Jo Kent. Inset: Maureen Barton’s grandmother (back left) on opening day in 1910. who has lived in Wakefield for 60 years, remembers when it was the hub of the village. “My grandmother went to the opening day on 17 January 1910.” She says they got dressed up in their finest clothes for the occasion. “My grandparents ran Wakefield

bakery and were prominent in the community at the time. My grandmother baked the bread while my grandfather delivered it on his horse and cart.” Maureen used to work along the road at Hooper’s grocery store and regularly popped to the post office during the day.

“I worked there when I was 17 and would often run errands to the post office for something or other.” The building also housed a manual telephone exchange and locals used to have to share the line with neighbours. When the exchange became au-

tomatic in 1977, people were able to make instant calls. “Lots of my friends worked in the exchange, and there were a lot of men working there too,” Maureen says. In 1911, local letter deliveries began by bike and the postman used to whistle to let people know they had mail in their boxes. “It’s a different world these days,” Maureen says. “You don’t know your neighbours so well. I was always hand-delivering my mum’s baking to people all over Wakefield.” The post office ceased trading in March 1990 and Maureen hopes that the building will now be given a new lease on life. “It will be lovely to see something in there again as it’s a beautiful old building that deserves to be used.” The property will be sold by deadline sale on 14 October and the team at Bayleys are excited to see who will buy it. “Our office is close to the building, so it will be interesting to see what happens with it next.” Wakefield also lays claim to having the oldest surviving church in the South Island – St John’s Anglican church, built in 1846, which celebrates its 175th anniversary next month.

Raising local awareness of prostate cancer Sara Hollyman Reporter

sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz

At 73-years-old Bill Fergie knows he will more than likely die from prostate cancer. It’s a fate many with the diagnosis will suffer – more than 700 men died from the disease in New Zealand last year. Bill was on the tail-end of a brutal lung cancer battle when he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. The diagnosis was that he would live three months, but die within two years. A doctor told him, for a second time, to get his affairs in order. That was in 2009 and Bill is still fighting the long game. He credits an overhaul of his lifestyle habits and diet to his longevity. This month is Blue September, the annual fundraising campaign which normally sees people across the country come together for ‘Blue Do’s’ to raise funds for the Prostate Cancer Foundation. However, this year many of these events cannot go ahead due to alert level restrictions and Bill says the foun-

dation will really feel the loss of funds raised. While New Zealanders have free screening for breast, cervical and more recently, bowel cancer, free prostate cancer screening is something that still hasn’t happened. Bill believes such a programme would have found his cancer before it was too late. He now spends the bulk of his time championing for and supporting the cause as the Nelson support co-ordinator for the foundation. One thing that has helped him on his journey are the local ProstFit classes. The weekly fitness class connects men living with any stage of prostate and other cancers. Group instructor Leigh Dalzell says the class has a strong focus on mental, emotional and physical wellbeing. “For people having or have had treatment, the hormone therapy and radiation hammers the body so you can have a light day if you want to, or if you’re feeling good you can do a bit more,” Leigh says. The class is also about building a support network through what can be the hardest time in a man’s life.

Three Waters ‘very difficult to unpick’ Sara Hollyman Reporter

sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Huge reform across our drinking, wastewater and stormwater systems, known as Three Waters, has been labelled “difficult and complicated” by Tasman District Council’s Mayor. The proposal aims to address years of under investment in critical water infrastructure across the country, by pooling councils together to create stronger borrowing and buying power. The proposal would see Tasman’s $476 million water, stormwater and wastewater assets transferred to one of four new, large water service entities. These assets include infrastructure such as the Waimea Community Dam, the multiple water and wastewater schemes and rural supplies owned by council, as well as a 50 per cent share of the Nelson Regional Sewerage Business Unit. Tasman would become part of ‘Entity C’, along with councils along the East Coast of the North Island up to Gisborne, Wellington, Wairarapa and Manawatu, as well as Marlborough and Nelson. However, some parts of Tasman, including Murchison, would become part of Entity D, along with the rest of the South Island. Local councils would be jointly named as owners of the company, but own no shares, and iwi would

sit in a governance role alongside local government appointees. Mayor Tim King says the model doesn’t look like something he would call ownership. “I don’t personally believe so” he says. “We’re not shareholders. The ownership is tenuous at best and there’s multiple layers between the governance, board and customers.” Tim says there’s a “massive amount” of information to work through and council are doing their best to figure out implications of government’s current proposal. “This would see a huge change to the way these services are provided, but it does seem unlikely that staying exactly where we are is going to be sustainable long term.” Entity C would become responsible for delivering the district’s drinking, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure maintenance, renewals and new projects. It is proposed the four new entities would have larger borrowing capacity to fund infrastructure investments, being able to borrow significantly more that local councils can on their own. Modelling done by DIA and the Water Comission for Scotland concluded that nationally there is between $120-185 billion of investment required over the next 30 years to get the country’s three water systems up to standard.

The Tasman District Council’s share of the Waimea Community Dam would likely transfer to a new joint entity under the Three Waters proposal. Photo: File. It is thought that the larger entities would also be able to collectively bring the cost of delivering infrastructure down, with economies of scale. Under the proposed scheme, Tasman’s water costs per household are projected to be $1260 per year, compared with $6760 if council chooses to stand alone. This reflects the projected cost of infrastructure investment to meet rising water standards. Tasman currently charges $2290 per year. Tim says there are questions over whether the proposed savings would be realised. The modelling is not based on business as usual; it takes into ac-

count increased compliance for rising water service standards that are set to be closely monitored by the new government water regulator, Taumata Arowai. Penalties for negligently discharging sub-standard water will range from $300,000 to $1.5million. “The expectation of meeting these water standards is going to require some serious thinking. That is going to be hard, and we will have to have what will be quite a complex conversation around how we as a council would do that.” As part of the proposal, small water suppliers that supply more than one dwelling will also have

to meet water quality standards or risk facing penalties. This affects a significant portion of Tasman properties, including properties that have one home but provide accommodation in the form of a shearer’s quarters or holiday accommodation, for example. If they cannot meet the standards they may be able to ask council to take over their water supply, which could effectively become very expensive for TDC. Tim says information has been provided regarding similar water delivery models, including Scotland and Tasmania, but none are quite like this proposal. He says he has not received any positive feedback from the community about the proposals. “The main concern I’m hearing is over asset ownership and the ability to control core community services locally.” Tim says, for the three waters proposal to proceed legislation would first need to change, as currently council are not able to transfer ownership of its water assets. Nor are they able make significant decisions around its three water assets without consultation. “The legislation requires us to consult on decisions of this level of significance to our community.” To find out more information visit dia.govt.nz/Three-WatersReform-Programme.

Bring anything to draw with: crayons, ink pens, pencils, felts etc. Plus a variety of paper to draw on e.g. your kids old exercise books or fancy paper from the art store. Also bring pictures and or objects to draw of your choice. This class will be a light-hearted but committed time to try out drawing exercises and to find some favourites. This is a judgment free zone: as Pablo Picasso said “It takes a long time to become young”. You can also take a peak at the Tuesday night Painting for all

Levels course if you attend Drawing for more inspiration. After a short break, Women’s Hula Dance Fit is recommencing in October with passionate Tutor and dancer Claudia Munoz Ledo Lopez.

In December 1846, Thomas Brunner and Kehu set off on what would be their most famous journey. They travelled with Brunner’s dog, Kehu’s wife, and Kehu’s friend Pikewate (or Pikiwati) and his wife. While down south on their previous expedition, Brunner had been told by Māori of a route through the Southern Alps. Brunner hoped to find this route and cross the Alps to Canterbury. Almost immediately there were signs this would be a difficult journey, as two weeks in, they encountered heavy rain and were forced to make a night crossing of the Buller River, causing the wives to quarrel. On the Four Rivers Plain, they stopped at a hut to prepare a supply of food before entering unknown country. They cooked tea tree and fern root in an umu (Māori oven), caught fish to salt, and made flax baskets to carry the food (this on top of the guns, 7kg of tobacco, 51kg of flour, salt and pepper, biscuits and tea they had started with). They set off, but when the rain started again, they were forced to take shelter in a cave. The cave flooded and their food spoiled. They returned to the hut on the plain to prepare more. When they next crossed the river, Brunner writes, ‘We made a small raft on which we placed all our belongings.’ They then swam the raft across the swollen river, and followed the river’s path down to the coast. The walking became ‘fearful’, and the land yielded little food. They would trek for a week, then stop for a week to restock their supplies, surviving on fish and roots from cabbage trees and ferns.

Thomas Brunner. on their last journey, but it had been abandoned. They followed the Arahura River to the Taramakau Pā and stayed for the winter. In October Brunner and some local Māori went further south together, leaving Kehu, Pikewate and their wives at the pā. Unfortunately, Brunner sprained his ankle and did not make it back to the pā until December. In the warmer weather, the party continued up the Arahura River, where they discovered Lake Brunner and the coalfield. The inexhaustible Brunner wanted to continue to Canterbury, but Kehu and Pikewate refused, and in January 1848, the party began to make their way back to Nelson. Unfortunately, Brunner became ill. At this point Pikewate and his wife abandoned the party, but Kehu refused to leave him: ‘invaluable indeed,’ Brunner wrote of him. ‘to [Kehu] I owe my life – he is a faithful and attached servant’. With Kehu’s help, in June 1848, eighteen months after setting out, Brunner returned to Nelson. Brunner and Kehu would yet go on another expedition to discover a quicker route between Nelson and Wairau, but nothing could compare to what Brunner called their ‘Great Journey’.

Bee Aware Month

a month dedicated to celebrating bees

Apiculture NZ. Events planned for the month are currently on hold, but educational resources produced for schools, community groups and families to use are available on the Apiculture New Zealand website. Apiculture NZ is also running a Kids’ Art Competition with the theme ‘Bees, Trees and Me’ throughout the month. The 12 winning entries from

this competition will be compiled into a calendar and sold to raise money for Apiculture New Zealand’s bee health research and education fund. For more information about Bee Aware Month please see the Apiculture New Zealand website: https://apinz.org.nz/bee-aware-month-2021/ or contact Charlotte Lee-Smith info@ apinz.org.nz or 021 046 3952.

Pollination and hive services Spring hives for sale Wendy from Backyard Bees, reassembles a hive having just done an inspection of the queen, worker bees and brood on one of their Backyard Bees rental hives. Beekeepers are calling on beelovers across New Zealand to take what actions they can to improve the health and resilience of Kiwi bee populations this September for Bee Aware Month. Apiculture New Zealand, the national body representing beekeepers and honey producers, is asking Kiwis to Feed the Bees by planting bee-friendly trees and plants this spring. “One of the best things Kiwi bee lovers can do for our bees is to grow bee-friendly trees, wildflowers or shrubs in their gardens or public spaces. This provides essential nutrition for our bee population ensuring they can be resilient in the face of the many challenges they face,” says Apiculture New

Zealand chief executive Karin Kos. Throughout September, Apiculture NZ members and supporters will be sharing information about planting for bees. When choosing what to

plant, Ms Kos recommends people visit the New Zealand Trees for Bees Research Trust website. “Trees for Bees has done extensive work on iden-

tifying the best plants for bees and has produced regional planting guides, individual profiles of star performing bee plants and advice on planting for home gardeners and rural property owners. They offer a wealth of knowledge to gardeners and bee lovers.” “Some of the best bee-friendly trees are many citrus and pip fruit trees, or native plants like harakeke or rewarewa. These offer bees excellent, ongoing sources of nutrition and well-nourished bees are better able to withstand threats like varroa, habitat loss, climate change and diseases.” she explains. Bee Aware Month is a national educational campaign initiated and co-ordinated by

Richmond Countdown’s Christian Piggot says the staff have felt supported by most of their customers over the past few weeks. Photo: Supplied.

Staff at the Richmond Countdown store have felt the support of the community over the past few weeks following the attack at the New Lynn Countdown store. “The kind words and smiles behind masks have been really heartening,” says Countdown Richmond store manager Christian Piggot. He says the team have taken time to reflect on what was a really shocking event. Christian spends a lot of time on the shop floor and says that while the majority of customers have been kind to the team, there have been a few incidences of abusive or aggressive behaviour. “This has especially been around mask wearing,” Christian says. He says the team have been trained in de-escalating conflict, and they will call the police to help with incidents. A highlight for the store has been the in-store pharmacy joining in giving vaccinations this month. “It’s been a real privilege to be able to play a small part in helping to keep our local community safe.” Christian says that the pharmacy team have done a fantastic job, getting hundreds of people through safely and quickly.

Local MP recounts lucky lightning escape Jenny Nicholson

garden centre

Maureen Pugh is bemused by the interest national media has shown in her being struck by lightning three times about 20 years ago. The Tasman-based MP can vividly recall each event. On the first occasion, she was running a bath when lightning struck her house and huge volts of electricity surged through her body, sending her flying backwards. “A huge blue-white light filled the room,” she says. While she appeared uninjured at first, as the afternoon wore on her arm felt like it was bruised all over. Over the next six weeks she found it “difficult to string two thoughts together”. “The doctor thought it had burned the little capacitors between the left and right sides of my brain.” Working as a school secretary at the time, she was unable to use the photocopier as each occasion she pushed ‘start’ the technician sign would appear and the copier needed to be restarted. “I literally had to get someone else to push start,” she says. At the time she thought it was a bit quirky, but no big deal and recovered well. The second time, she was turning off

While it didn’t have the same cognitive impact, Maureen says it caused her flesh to burn. “The smell is something I will never forget. An intense cooking flesh smell coming out of this pinhead-sized brown dot on the end of my thumb.” Although she wasn’t hurt, it scared her a lot more. “I felt quite vulnerable,” Maureen says. ‘I thought if I kept getting hit, eventually I wouldn’t get to talk about it.” The third time, she was babysitting a

neighbour’s children and picked up the phone when a lightning strike blitzed it out of her hands. “After a couple of direct hits that was a walk in the park.” Growing convinced the lightning would kill her one day if she didn’t do anything, Maureen and her husband installed an earth strap, whichdraws current away, on the electrical transformer nearest their home. They haven’t been rocked by lightning since, but Maureen admits it’s still something that causes her worry even now.

The Nelson Arts Festival has made the decision to cancel most of its 2021 programme of shows and events due to the continued impact of the Covid-19 Delta outbreak. Planning is continuing for a select number of events - including Mask Carnivale, Night Vision and Pukapuka Talks. Chair of the Nelson Festivals Trust, Brent Thawley, says the lockdown and alert level restrictions have impacted greatly on everyone in Aotearoa and have ongoing implications for the arts and events sector. “Our decision to cancel events in the 2021 programme has been made now so that everyone - our artists, technicians, producers and makers, as well as our sponsors and supporters, and our audiences – all have clarity.” He says, from the very beginning of the planning period for the 2021 Festival, the Nelson Festivals Trust and Nelson Arts Festival Team developed contingency plans for various scenarios. “With the majority of the programme involving artists from around the country, the ongoing lockdown restrictions make it impossible to present the 2021 programme as it was envisaged.” Brent says many of the shows were touring to other regional festivals throughout October – the sharing of shows is an essential part of the planning for all festivals, in terms of sharing workload, knowledge, resources and financial costs. “Delaying the decision further would put the Nelson Festivals Trust at jeopardy and risk our ability to sustain support for artists, staff, venues and our community long term. By making this decision now, we are able to work through the ways we can support all these

partners, and particularly artists, in this hugely challenging time.” The leadership team of co-creative directors, Rose Campbell and Lydia Zanetti, and community and education director Shanine Hermsen, say they are devastated at having to make this decision. “This year’s festival was all about coming together, connecting with each other anew and celebrating our community. Despite not being able to present the festival we envisioned, we’re incredibly proud of the 2021 programme and all the extraordinary mahi that has gone into it from the trust, team, venues, artists and community.” The festival is continuing with plans to present a locally-focussed programme that honours the vision for 2021: Connection. This includes the outdoor community events, Night Vision (Thursday 21 Oct) and Mask Carnivale (Friday 29 Oct) alongside the outdoor concert at Neudorf Vineyards (band tbc), Pukapuka Talks and most of the visual arts exhibitions. The Festival Trust will continue to monitor the situation and make a further decision about the remaining 2021 programme in early October. The festival will be offering full refunds to those who have purchased tickets to cancelled shows and will be in direct contact early this week. At this stage, events that are still going ahead are: Night Vision, Mask Carnivale, literary programme Pukapuka Talks, Through the Eye of Whakatū, Vicki Smith’s Repose and Samara Davis’ Ano Me He Wharepuungawerewere (exhibitions at Refinery ArtSpace), He Raranga Kōrero: Weaving Conversations, Couch Stories, PechaKucha, Nelson City Centre ArtWalk Tours, an outdoor concert at Neudorf Vineyard, and Silver.

Richmond wins first division title Peter Jones

Richmond are the 2021 Nelson division one football champions for the first time in ten years after edging Rangers AFC 1-0 at the Renwick Domain on Saturday. Defending champions Rangers have set the pace all season and went into the final round-robin match, which was delayed a month due to Covid-19, tied on points with Richmond, but with a better goal differential. That meant a win or draw would have handed the home side backto-back titles and for much of the match it appeared a stalemate was the likely result. The deciding goal came around the 75th minute mark and had an element of luck about it. Rangers lost the ball in midfield where it was picked up by substitute Lee Merrion. His low shot struck the home side’s post, ricocheted into the body of Rangers’ player/coach

Tore Waechter then bounced into the empty net. At the time Richmond were enjoying their best period of the game, throwing more and more players forward in pursuit of a result. The fact they had not conceded

in the previous 75 minutes was down to some resolute defence and inspired keeping from Daniel Dowding. He pulled off a couple of stunning saves in the early stages, when Rangers created a multitude

of chances to bag an early goal which may have put the match out of the visiting side’s reach. Richmond coach Clay Wilhelmus was elated as the club picked up their first Nelson division one crown since 2011.

“I thought that our attack and patterns of play were better and I always felt like we would eventually get one [goal]. “They are obviously a massive threat from free kicks through Tore and Harrison Pine, but we weathered the storm in the first half and I just felt that it would open up in the second. I just said to the boys that there was no point just going out and spending the next half defending because a draw is no good for us.” The coach said all his players had put in big shifts but singled out holding midfielder Sam Barnett, keeper Dowding and centreback Patrick Keys. The win caps a remarkable season for Richmond Athletic. The club also won the women’s first division, the men’s third division and men’s fifth division. Nelson Suburbs won the men’s and women’s second division and FC Nelson won the men’s fourth division and men’s masters league.

Future Development Strategy’s public engagement Zooms ahead The first round of community engagement for the Nelson Tasman 2021 – 2051 Future Development Strategy (FDS) will start on 4 October. This round will be held remotely with information available online and via several Zoom sessions. The Zoom sessions will be held on: • Tuesday 5 October, 12.00 pm – 1.30 pm • Friday 8 October, 10.00 am – 11.30 am • Monday 11 October, 6.00 pm – 7.30 pm • Wednesday 13 October, 3.30 pm – 5.00 pm.

Tasman's coastline spans over 700km of open coast and estuary shorelines. Like other coastal communities around New Zealand, Tasman has experienced and will continue to experience the impacts of sea level rise and coastal hazards. While the rate and exact amount of future sea level rise is uncertain, we do know that rising sea levels will have increasing implications for development and infrastructure in coastal areas along with environmental, cultural, economic, and societal effects. Next week we’re hosting three interactive webinars that will cover what we know about future sea level rise and coastal hazards and be a place for safe conversations that explore “what can we do about it?”. These webinars will be on Tuesday 28 September, 7.00 pm – 8.00 pm; Thursday 30 September, 12.00 pm – 1.00 pm; and Thursday 30 September, 7.00 pm – 8.00 pm. It’s free to register and attend. Our Coastal Management Project Lead Diana Worthy and Natural Hazards Scientist Glenn Stevens will be joined by leading New Zealand Coastal Scientist Dr Rob Bell to talk through climate change scenarios and answer your questions about how different areas might be affected. They’ll be presenting our four broad options for responding to sea level rise and coastal hazards; accommodate, protect, avoid and retreat.

Developing a new FDS is a joint project between Nelson City Council and Tasman District Council. The FDS sets out where and how residential and business growth within Nelson and Tasman regions will occur over the next 30 years. To register for the Zoom engagement sessions in October, visit tasman.govt.nz/fds. If you have any further queries, please email futuredevelopmentstrategy@tasman.govt.nz.

Tell us your amazing art idea Our Creative Communities Scheme has funding available to help groups and individuals running arts projects in Tasman. Creative Communities provides funding to support community involvement in the arts – music, theatre, festivals, mural painting, outdoor sculptures, art in public spaces, kapa haka, singing, art workshops and more. Funded by Creative New Zealand, the Creative Communities Scheme is designed to support opportunities for communities to participate in the arts. There is a focus on art projects that have a broad community involvement, involve young people or support the diverse arts and cultural traditions of local communities. Applications are open until Wednesday 10 November. For more information and to complete an application form, visit tasman.govt.nz/creative-communities.

By coming together now to look at what we know about sea level rise and coastal hazards in Tasman, and the options we have for responding, we'll be better prepared for future decision-making.

At Alert Level Two, all Council facilities, including service centres, libraries, recreation centres and resource recovery centres are open, but there are some changes in place. Please be patient, your visit may take longer than usual as we need to limit the number of people in our facilities to meet physical distancing requirements. Please remember to wear a mask and scan or sign in if you come and visit us. For more information on Council services, visit our website, tasman.govt.nz. For information on alert levels, visit the Unite against Covid-19 website, covid19.govt.nz.

Find out more about the Three Waters Reform Analysis of the Government’s Three Waters Reform proposal has provided further perspective for us, but questions around the implications, costs and timeline still remain. A report examining the Three Waters Reform and what it means for Tasman will be presented at a Full Council meeting on Wednesday 29 September. This will be available to read on our website before the meeting. We are holding a Zoom webinar for the community on Wednesday 29 September from 5.30 pm. This webinar will provide you with more information about the reform and give you the ability to ask questions. Visit tasman.govt.nz for the Zoom link. If you have any questions you would like answered, please send them to info@tasman.govt.nz before 5.00 pm Tuesday 28 September.

COUNCIL HUI Under Covid-19 restrictions, meetings will take place in person and via Zoom video conferencing. Public forum presenters are encouraged to present via Zoom.
