Nelson firm fined for truck roll Tracy Neal

Open Justice Reporter

A truck driver’s first day on the job was cut short last September when the heavy load she was hauling shifted, and the truck tipped over at the Quarantine Rd roundabout. The employer, Azwood Limited, which specialises in supplying carbon-neutral wood fuel, initially tried blaming the driver, but then back-tracked and took full responsibility. The Nelson firm, has been fined $750 in the Nelson District Court for the low-speed accident which ended up blocking the highway for several hours. The company admitted a charge of operating a heavy motor vehicle with an insecure load. Azwood Limited was the owner and operator of the truck and trailer unit when on Wednesday, 20 September it tipped at the roundabout while heading south towards Whakatu Drive. The vehicle was loaded with a hook bin - a 20-foot shipping

container modified to allow it to be lifted by a large hydraulic arm hook assembly on the truck. An investigation revealed that a main supporting rail beneath the container had bent when the vehicle turned, causing the container to move and break free, dragging the truck over with it. The bin was fully laden with MDF off-cuts when the unit rolled. The contents were spilled onto the southbound lane of Whakatu Drive, blocking traffic for a “significant period”. The driver received minor injuries but a vehicle travelling south on Whakatu Drive was unable to avoid the spillage and drove over it, causing significant damage to the vehicle. The police summary said an investigation showed a weld on the rail designed to provide structural rigidity had been broken for some time before the accident. Police said the driver was on her first day and was being supervised by a senior member

The company initially told police, “the driver’s speed, the camber of the intersection and the possibility she (the driver) may have clipped a kerb” contributed to the incident, but later back-tracked on that view. Defence lawyer Mark Dollimore said the company didn’t want to criticise the driver, and that it stood behind her. He noted the company’s history as a safety conscious operator, including that it had two retired police officers on staff who helped develop operating protocols.

Judge Jo Rielly said in sentencing the firm that while it was an unfortunate event, it could have caused “significant harm”, and it was lucky no one was seriously injured. “The company has taken this very seriously and has done everything it can to rectify the wrongs, including that it has offered to pay reparation to the

owner of the damaged vehicle.” Azwood was given credit for its early guilty plea, which reduced the fine from a potential $1500 to $750 and was ordered to pay $800 in reparation. O P E N

Residents concerned over Ngapua Reserve ERIN BRADNOCK Local Democracy Reporter

The construction of a new subdivision has caused concern for neighbouring Atawhai residents as construction has crept into greenspace at Ngapua Reserve. A community meeting hosted by local residents was held on Saturday at the reserve with the attendance of Nelson City councillors, Nelson MP Rachel Boyack and Bayview subdivision contractor and developers. Questions were raised about the purpose, legality and communication surrounding the construction that has now covered roughly 40 per cent of the recreation area of Ngapua Reserve and for the future of the green space. “As residents living in this community, we are now concerned to see the drastic degradation of our existing Ngapua Reserve with trees removed and infilling of the public reserve space,” a statement read from Laura Richards and Rob Davidson on behalf of local residents. Richard Pollock of Bayview Holdings Nelson Limited as-

Nelson City Council’s manager of environmental management, Clare Barton, confirmed the developers of Bayview Subdivision have been granted consent to carry out earthworks related to the subdivision extending onto Ngapua Reserve.

“This consent was granted on the basis that the reserve is returned to its former state, including the reinstatement of appropriate native planting as required,” Clare says. Chair of the council’s infrastructure committee, councillor Brian McGurk, advised residents consultation would take place between council and residents on the future of the reserve with the potential of public picnic tables and a barbeque raised by developers.

‘It’s so unfair’ - The struggle to get residency Max FretHey A migrant family in Nelson is frustrated with the lengthy wait to get their residency application processed. The family, who asked to not be named, moved to the country from South Africa early in 2019 and sent their first application away a year later in the beginning of 2020 just before the first lockdown. But in June 2021, their daughter was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) which has complicated their residency application. They moved to New Zealand when their daughter was two years old. The family says that their daughter’s slower development wasn’t immediately spotted, attributing any developmental delay to the shock of moving to a different land. “When we moved here, everything changed. Food is different, the environment is different, so there was a little bit of delay,” her mother said. “Which was just natural.” But as time went on, they noticed the delay in developing was ongoing.

“We were just wondering if there might be a bigger picture that we might be missing.” Eventually, their daughter was diagnosed with autism. “As you can imagine, big, big shock for us because we’ve never dealt with something similar like that.” As they prepared to update their residency application to reflect this diagnosis, the Government announced the 2021 Resident Visa in September, which was created to mitigate some of the challenges the migrant community has faced during the Covid-19 pandemic. The family applied for residency again near the end of the year in the first phase of the 2021 Resident Visa as advised by their agent, their daughter’s diagnosis now declared. According to Immigration New Zealand (INZ), applicants for residence class visas must have an “acceptable standard of health” and be “unlikely to impose significant costs or demands on New Zealand’s health services or special education services”. If an INZ medical assessor believes an applicant is likely to require health services costing more than $41,000 – the amount

INZ had laid out a set of medical conditions that are deemed to impose said significant costs. These conditions include HIV, dementia, cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis, and – most importantly for this family – severe developmental disorders like ASD. While the family says they have submitted all the necessary forms and reports to try and gain a medical waiver, INZ is currently assessing if their daughter will need more support down the line.

Now 5 years old, the girl is at Level 1, the mildest level, of ASD and does not need assistance from the Ongoing Resources Scheme (ORS) which provides specialist support in schools for students who need it. The family says that even though they will home school their daughter, removing any support cost from the public school system, that’s not enough for INZ. Should their applications for a medical waiver and residency be denied, the family says they will not wait out the last two years on their visas in New Zealand and will move to Canada instead.

Hastings St stormwater upgrade Work has begun on the Hastings St stormwater upgrade, that will improve resilience to flooding and cater to increased housing supply in the Washington Valley area. Hastings St will be closed to everyone except residents until 24 November, 2022. For periods of time during the project access to Spotlight will be from St Vincent St only. This restriction is in place now, until 31 March, and will need to be used at other times during the project.

Mortgage holders financially better off Kiwis with mortgages are financially better positioned than a year ago according to Westpac NZ data. More than 70 per cent of Westpac’s Nelson Tasman and Marlborough customers are ahead on their mortgage payments. Customers needed to be at least three months ahead in their repayments to be included in this data. 68.1 per cent of Westpac’s home loan customers were ahead on mortgage repayments at the end of 2021, a jump from 65.9 per cent at the end of 2020. Those customers were ahead of their scheduled mortgage payments by a median amount of $11,022 or 10.5 months – up from $9,657 and 9.0 months at the same time in 2020.

Council invited to cycle city streets Bicycle Nelson Bays invited Nelson City Council councillors on a guided bike ride through the city at last Thursday’s full council meeting.

The whole process has had negative effects on their mental health and drained their savings. “Every time they [INZ] want a specialist report, I’ve got to carry that financial burden,” the father says. “All our safety barriers we had financially have all been depleted now in these last three years.” The father works as an essential worker being a communications technician. “It’s not like we don’t contribute to New Zealand,” the mother says. Nelson MP Rachel Boyack says she regularly has constituents contacting her office for support on immigration matters. “I encourage this family to get in touch with my office so we can offer our support and advocate on their behalf. I’m more than happy to meet with them as their local MP and discuss their situation.” The family says their case has now been given to a case officer, which means someone from INZ is personally working on their case and that they have seen other couples with autistic children gain medical waivers. So, while there is cause for hope, they say they don’t think the process should have taken this long.

Bevan Woodward invited councillors during public forum for a one-hour bike ride as part of BNB’s campaign to improve road safety in the region. The ride will take place late March, starting from Civic House, looping through The Wood, the city, Toi Toi and back to Civic House. “We’d like to show you what’s great about cycling around Nelson and take a look at what is not working so well,” said Bevan.

Council awarded for sustainability Nelson City Council were presented with two awards from the New Zealand Local Authority Traffic Institute last week. During the public forum at a full council meeting last Thursday, NCC received a sustainability award for the Innovating Streets Project. Robyn Denton from Trafinz described the initiative as a great model for other local authorities. The second was a sustainability merit award for NCC’s pedalling equity programme, a bike library trial for Nelson Intermediate School students, “which must be highly commended as grassroots leadership,” Robyn said.

Earthquake felt across region A magnitude 5.6 earthquake was felt across the country on Monday afternoon. The quake was centered 30km west of Seddon, at a depth of 30km. The shake was felt across much of the country, particulary in the Nelson Tasman region. More than 15,000 people registered feeling the shake on Geonet, rating the level of shaking from weak to extreme.

Fraudster asked to prove cancer Tracy Neal Open Justice Reporter

A woman facing fraud charges needed to file medical notes to prove her cancer was the reason she failed to appear this week in the Nelson District Court. The woman was due to re-appear on Monday, having been earlier remanded to allow time for the police to assess a large disclosure file. Her charges related to events in Palmerston North and include using a document to the value of $32,000 and accessing a computer system dishonestly. The court heard recently she had since moved to Takaka.

A woman was asked to prove her cancer diagnosis after she failed to appear in the Nelson District Court on Monday. Photo: File. The woman’s lawyer Kelly Hennessey explained to the court earlier on Monday, at the time she was called to appear, that her absence was because she was unable

to drive due to recent surgery and “major health difficulties”. Police prosecution said contact with a detective revealed serious concerns around the honesty of

the claims, especially as there was no proof provided to her family, and neither was there any evidence provided to the court as to why she had failed to appear. Police were also concerned that the woman had been in contact with the complainant and was therefore interferring with a witness. The matter was stood down until the afternoon for proof of her claims to be provided, at which point medical information was filed to the court. Hennessey told the court that her diagnosis was ovarian cancer with lesions now on her liver, and that she had between three and 18 months to live. Judge Jo Rielly said that while she

was not a doctor, the evidence she had, suggested the diagnosis was likely, but that the defendant’s life expectancy was not referred to in the material. The woman was further remanded on bail to appear again next month, with a condition added that she was not to contact any witnesses. Curfew was altered to allow for her to undergo medical treatment, and medical notes were to be released to the police. O P E N

Partying with a jillion Jills When Jill Dickinson met another Jill at a friend’s 80th birthday party last year, she said ‘I know a lot of Jills, I should throw a party’, and that’s exactly what she did. Jill tracked down all the Jills she knew in Nelson – 10 of them and invited them around to her home for coffee last month. None of the others knew that it

was for, what Jill has affectionately named a ‘Jill Party’. She was surprised that all 10 could make it, and as they arrived, she started introductions. “When they came to the door I said, ‘hi Jill this is Jill and Jill,’ it made for a very light-hearted, enjoyable get together.” Jill says it was a lovely way to finish off her birthday celebra-

tions, with her birthday being the day before the Jill Party. She says the main benefit was reconnecting with people she hadn’t spoken to for decades. “It was just fun, we just laughed the whole time, it gave a lot of people a lot of pleasure.” She says she may look to hold another Jill party in five years’ time.

Covid confusion at cinema MAX FRETHEY

Some customers at Nelson’s State Cinema have had to be turned away after they didn’t meet the entry requirements. Only a vaccine pass or letter of exemption from the Ministry of Health will get you into the cinema but this has not stopped would-be guests from trying to use alternate means of gaining entry. “We’ve had a number of people present letters from GPs,” cinema director, Mark Christensen, says. “I think what’s really happened is a lot of people haven’t realised that things changed late-last year.” Mark also says that they have received emails from individuals who incorrectly claim the cinema doesn’t have to follow the Ministry of Health’s Covid guidelines and that it’s actually up to the cinema to decide what restrictions they have. “Actually, it’s very clear,” cinema manager Sonia Simao says about the Covid measures. “Some people aren’t even informed – or seem as if they don’t want to be informed – about the vaccine passes.” “Mostly, people have been pretty

Though he does mention that a handful of customers have gotten angry when they aren’t allowed into the cinema. “We do get some who take it out on our staff,” he says. “It’s not really fair to be taking it out on

our front-line staff who are just simply doing a really difficult job under rules that they have no say in.” State Cinema employs several students, and they are often the ones scanning vaccine passes at the front door. Unfortunately, this means that if

a customer begins to get agitated or abusive, the first staff member their anger is directed at is a student. Sonia says that their duty managers are trained to step in if things escalate in this way. “The shift manager will take that responsibility and will act on

their behalf.” “It was a problem initially when the rules came in and people are sort of adapting now,” Mark says, noting a decrease in the number of people getting turned away or angry. Sonia adds that they have had a few complaints from those who arrive at the cinema and have to wait for a long time in a queue because the checking of vaccine passes generates a bit of a bottleneck. “Under these sorts of conditions, people should allow a bit of extra time because there can be congestion because we have to do this process and sight the passes,” Mark says. He says that he’s also had to turn down requests to have separate screenings for the non-vaccinated given the complexities involved with closing the other theatres and deep cleaning the venue. “Mostly when we explain that to them, they understand it’s fine.” Though Mark says a few disgruntled customers have said they won’t be going back to their establishment again. “That will be until we get the next blockbuster film that they really want to see,” he says.

One of three Habitat for Humanity homes built by NMIT students was transported from Richmond to Wakefield last Thursday night. Photo: Supplied.

Three new homes for those in need Kate Russell A partnership between Habitat for Humanity and NMIT has seen the creation of three new homes for those in need. Two of the three-bedroom homes have already made the 15km journey from the NMIT Richmond campus to an interim storage area in Wakefield. One was transported last Thursday night, one on Tuesday night, and one tonight. The 100-square metre homes were built over a year by NMIT carpentry pre-trade students. NMIT chief executive Wayne Jackson says the project was the biggest their construction staff had ever taken on. The partnership between the two organisations usually sees one house built per year, but this year it was three. “While that presented a challenge with additional materials and space required, there

was also a larger cohort of 48 students available to complete the project,” Wayne says. Habitat for Humanity general manager Nick Clarke says the houses will benefit low incomes families who need decent homes in Nelson Tasman. It is undecided if they will be for home ownership or social rentals, with their final destination currently being finalised. “We are working hard to secure a place where we can move these houses and start the process of looking for whānau that need a roof over their head that they can call home,” says Nick. “There will be a few last touches needed to be finished at their final location.” These will include details like wall painting for example, which is likely to be completed by members of the community. Nick says the partnership be-

tween Habitat for Humanity Nelson and NMIT is a “winwin” for everyone. “We are very grateful and happy.” Wayne agrees, saying the students benefited greatly from the experience. “During the programme, the students not only realised the importance of working together for a common goal, but they became really competent with hand and power tools, familiar with the methodology of sub-flooring, wall framing, cladding, gibbing and working at heights.” He says with the tutors there to support them, the students got valuable real-life experience and as close to a real building project as you can get. “The students also appreciated working on a project that increases the affordable housing supply and helps low to moderate-income families in their own community.”

Search for descendants to SARA HOLLYMAN The history of a Nelson city property is slowly being unsurfaced after the owner is unable to sell it for subdivision without finding living descendants of its 1907 owner. The Hastings St property encompasses four separate titles of 12,12a,14 and 22 Hastings St, which together make up more than a hectare of land, all with views out over Nelson City. The current owner originally purchased it with the view to subdivide further, however, came across some interesting information pertaining to a small portion of land at the start of the driveway. The property was owned by Elizabeth Million in the late 1800’s. When Elizabeth died in 1907, she left her estate to local catholic priest William Mahony, with innkeeper of The Globe Tavern, William Robert Parmenter, listed as executor of the will. In her will, she stated her desire for Mr Mahony to celebrate the “holy sacrifice of mass for the repose of my soul and that of my dear husband, so long as he may be pleased to do so.”

Emma McCashin is marketing the four-title property in Hastings St. Photo: Sara Hollyman. A Nelson legal executive, who has been conducting research into the legalities of the property for agent Emma McCashin, says that a small section of Right of Way to the properties still remains in the name of executor William Parmenter, more than 100 years later. “The district land registrar has issued a caveat, so it protects any descendants of Mr Mahony, however, the land never made it into his name, so it needs to be proven that there are no living descendants of him, before it can be transferred to new ownership,” she says. She says the situation is slight-

ly complex, although not uncommon. “The thing I haven’t found is why this little piece of land got separated,” she says. Emma, who is marketing the property, says the four-bedroom home at 14 Hastings St is one of the original buildings in the street that has been added onto over the years, and the only one that has legal right of way over the land parcel in question. “If they want to subdivide it any further, they will need permission to get a right of way, but it’s owned by a dead person so it’s just sort of sitting in limbo.” Emma is asking anyone who knows any history or living descendants of William Mahony to get in touch.

Fiona saving one kitten at a time JO KENt A Stoke woman has devoted her life to rescuing up to a dozen kittens a month, which have been abandoned on the streets of Nelson. Fiona, founder of Tabby’s Kitten Rescues, says the number of kittens has been increasing during summer. She started her Facebook page three years ago after her kitten rescuing escalated, and she needed to find more homes for them. “People started con-

tacting me from all over the region to tell me they’d found a litter under the neighbour’s house, or on a building site and so on,” Fiona says. “So, I’d go off with my trap and rescue the kittens and then trap the mother to get her desexed to stop the cycle.” Last week a woman dropped off a kitten from Tapawera to Fiona’s home in Stoke, while a Buddhist nun drove four stray kittens from Murchison. “When people find these strays, there isn’t really anywhere for them to go,

so they come to me.” The cost of the cat food, bedding, worming and flea treatment comes out of her own pocket. And as Tabby’s Kitten Rescues has grown, so has the bill to look after the cats. She’s currently fundraising through her Facebook page by selling handcrafted plant pots for $45 each to help cover the costs. Even though she has been inundated with kittens over the summer, she has managed to find homes for every one.

Community advocates are finding the new alert level system is helping elderly residents manage loneliness and isolation as Covid cases rise. Nelson Marlborough Health’s chief medical officer Dr Nick Baker says there has been an increase in mental stress related to Covid-19 and reiterated that it is important that people get help if they felt distressed. “You’ve got an extra layer of anxiety when you’re thinking about an elderly person who’s just coping okay anyway and thinking about how we get them through the stress of Covid,” he says. Baker says maintaining support networks through technology has been key to tackling isolation amid older persons during the pandemic. Age Concern manager Caroline Budge says they have been able to act near “business as usual” at alert level red. “We’re able to do pretty much everything we normally do, it’s

Other services such as tea and coffee catch-ups continue to operate with few restrictions being that all those who come to the service are vaccinated. Manager at Stoke Seniors, Karen Tuffery, says their community is “really grateful” they can stay connected to services

under the new approach to Covid. During lockdowns, Stoke Seniors were able to stay connected with their members through phone call check-ins set up during 2020 and ongoing meal delivery services. She says interest in their services increased as case numbers in the community started to climb.

Fairer rental laws Now that we have a growing number of COVID cases in Nelson it’s important we take steps to limit the spread and protect our vulnerable. If you’re experiencing COVID-19 symptoms or have been identified as a close contact, please visit the testing stations at Saxton Field or the Trafalgar Centre. Last week we announced proposals to regulate property managers, in order to make things fairer for renters and landlords. Property managers will need to be registered, and comply with a code of conduct. This is a policy I’ve pushed for, as I’ve been concerned about poor conduct from some property managers in Nelson, leaving tenants to live in houses that aren’t safe or healthy. It’s a busy week for me in Nelson – I had a visit yesterday to Ngaio Diagnostics, a great local business that has started supplying Rapid Antigen Tests to the region. I’m hosting a public meeting on disability support in Stoke, catching up with the Housing First team on Thursday, and I plan on visiting Auckland Point School on Friday. I’ll be at the Nelson Market on Saturday if you have any questions or concerns to raise with me.

Local History exploring our

Proudly brought to you by...

Pepene and Pare: A Tragedy Ruth Russ The night after Pare was killed in her whare by an axe, Pepene waited to die in the forest after drinking poison. At daylight, however, he found himself still alive, and he decided it would be better to give himself up to justice. He returned to the community by the gold diggings. As he crossed the brook by the whare, a woman called up to alert those within, “Pepene is coming.” Inside the whare, Rewi, Lydia and several others were waiting for him. “Why did you kill your wife?” Rewi asked. Pepene replied that he had killed her, “lest some other person should be pleased with her.” He added, “I drank some poison but it did not kill me.” Pepene then produced a letter.

One of the men read it aloud. Lydia later recalled in court that part of the letter read, “My friend, Pare, let us stick to each other. Do not let our affections cease.” The letter was unsigned. While Pare’s relatives wanted to kill Pepene to avenge Pare’s death, the rest of the Māori decided to turn Pepene over to the authorities (an unusual decision that was noted in the local paper). A constable organised a small party to take Pepene to Nelson to be tried. Two Māori from the diggings accompanied him: Paora Koinahi and Waihe Karuwhero, who gave testimony in court, as well as Charles McLean, whose boat transported the men to Nelson. Pepene’s defence lawyer was Mr Kingdon, and an interpreter was also

present in court. A jury heard Pepene’s side of the story: that on the Monday afternoon Pepene was mending his trousers, and Pare making a basket, when suddenly, unprovoked, Pare had attacked Pepene, throwing an axe at him. Pepene ducked twice out of the way, as she shouted that she did not like him. When he questioned, “who is the man whom you desire?” she would not answer, but produced the letter that Pepene would later give to Rewi after returning to the whare. Pepene read the letter, then told the jury he picked up the axe and said, “here, take the axe back.” He claimed he threw the axe with no malice and accidentally killed Pare. The judge then asked the medical examiner if Pare’s injuries

could have been caused in the manner which Pepene described. The medical examiner replied that it was not possible; the injury inflicted upon Pare was intentional. At the end of the proceedings, the jury deliberated for two hours and then returned the verdict “wilful murder”, but they recommended mercy for Pepene, rather than the death penalty.

Part 2

After Pepene was taken into custody, the judge asked, “nn what grounds did you recommend the prisoner to mercy?” One of the jurors replied, “upon the ground that he had received great provocation through jealousy.” Pepene’s life was indeed spared, and his sentence given was three years’ imprisonment.

Opinion

The Honourable Rachel Boyack, I bring this matter to your attention as our Member of Parliament. The resilience of Rocks Rd as a major transportation corridor is imperilled by continuing cliff failures and with sea level change and overtopping of the road by wave action. We need a long-term alternative major corridor. However, the most immediate concern is the game of Russian Roulette the transport agency is playing with injury or death as the result of cliff failure. Just look at the recent photographs from December 2021 (pictured) and February 2022. It does not take much imagination to see that being at the wrong place at the wrong time would have resulted in serious injury or death. This is your patch and there is a significant pool of unspent transport agency money. So, there is no excuse for the necessary cliff stabilisation works not to be completed (as started in 2012). Citizens rely on you to get action on this important matter. If it is allowed to lapse without action,

Aww, gosh I didn't realise it was that manic to find a suitable rental - only been looking for few months and it's ridiculous, was hoping to find something for my partner, daughter and myself. Might have to rethink this decision. Nelson is such a beautiful place. Krissy Tokimua

Sorry that this lady is struggling to find a good place she can call home for her and her boys. I think all of NZ is hard to find a good reasonable priced place to call home. For me I was almost homeless two years ago. I was living in Nelson at the time and couldn’t find anything for me and my cat but found a place in Ashburton. Good luck with finding a good place. Sally Warwood

Yep, I can relate. Even ten years ago looking for a rental when you are a solo mum with young children your chances of finding a place were pretty slim … especially through rental agencies. I found private rentals on Trade Me were easier to nab. Abs Barber

Boulder Bank Walk marches on In a year when so many events have been cancelled, the Nelson West Rotary Club is persevering with its annual Boulder Bank Walk which has so far raised $58k for Nelson charities and projects. The 9km walk on rounded boulders gives people the chance to experience an exposed, natural environment, with the walk usually taking about three hours. The Sunday, 6 March walk will offer stunning views to Nelson and the Haven on one side and Tasman Bay on the other.

Nelson West Rotary’s Jim Sinner says the historic baches are always a drawcard, and the Boulder Bank Lighthouse will be open for viewing. He says as well as being a fun challenge, most participants help protect wildlife by picking up plastic debris that has washed ashore. “We talked with our sponsors, Knapps Lawyers and Stoke Garden & Landscapes, and our bus and boat operators, and when we explained how we can run the event safely and comply with

Covid rules, they were all keen to offer this opportunity to the community,” said Jim Sinner of Nelson West Rotary. Ticket sales will be limited to two groups of 100 each, with vaccine passes required and masks to be worn on the bus, boat and inside the lighthouse. Participants will need good walking shoes, wind parka, strong ankles, sunscreen, snacks and a water bottle, plus their vaccine pass and a mask. Buses take walkers from Wakefield Quay to the starting point on

Boulder Bank Drive and a boat brings walkers from the Cut back to land. For those who don’t want to walk the full distance, there is a boat-both-ways option (operated by The Ferry) to transport participants to a point about 100m from the lighthouse. Since 2010, the event has raised over $58,000 for Nelson Coastguard and other community projects. For information, visit ‘Nelson West Rotary’ on Facebook. Buy tickets at www.TryBooking.co.nz/JMF.

Mystery dog causes a stink Kate Russell

Diane King has constructed barricades around her Russell St home to stop a dog from defecating in her garden. Photo: Kate Russell.

Russell St resident Diane King has resorted to constructing barricades around her home to stop a mystery dog from defecating in her garden. The dog has been a daily visitor to Diane’s house for the past three months, despite her barricading two entrances with umbrellas and chairs. “It’s still finding its way in under the house,” she says.

“I have also been spraying the property with repellent, but it doesn’t deter it. I don’t know what to do, I am well and truly over it.” She says she has her water pistol at the ready. “But it seems to know when to sneak in. It’s a cunning dog.” Diane suspects the dog may be a stray. “There are dogs everywhere around here, but most are on leashes and the owners are always

carrying their doggy-do bags.” Because Diane lives in a rental property, she is unable to install adequate fencing. However, she says her son is going to help her install some temporary pallet fences. Diane is urging dog owners to be responsible for picking up after their dogs. “If it continues, after all the trouble I have gone to, my next step is to go to animal control.”

Fish rescue mission at Modellers’ Pond Native fish, including eel (tuna) and whitebait (inanga), have been relocated from the Modellers’ Pond to nearby freshwater streams as Nelson City Council’s contractor drained the pond so it can be transformed into a new park. The fish rescue team included representatives from Council, Fish and Wildlife Services, the Department of Conservation (DOC) and Taylors Contract-

ing, the firm responsible for deconstructing the pond and creating the new family park. “About a third of the eel (tuna) saved were the ‘at-risk, declining’ long-fin variety, including some large breeding females,” says team leader Rebecca Dawkins. Once the water has been emptied from the pond, rocks will be laid down and then covered with clay.

This will be compressed by a tractor to create a good base for the park. The Tāhunanui Reserve park is due to be completed by winter and will include seating, picnic areas, trees planted for shade, natural play areas, boardwalks, a sheltered lookout for birdwatching, and a proposed shunting yard that will complement the model train tracks.

NELSON PINE INDUSTRIES CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BUSINESS AWARDS

2021

Promoting business excellence and celebrating success in the Nelson Tasman region, the notfor-profit organisation, Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce (NTCC), established a Business Awards in 1988 and their glamorous event has been a highlight on the local business social calendar ever since. The Nelson Pine Industries Chamber of Commerce Business Awards (NPICCBA) were to originally be hosted in November last year, however, due to the climate at the time the organisation will now be hosting the celebration on

February 25, 2022, at the Rutherford Hotel. A night to “honour individuals and organisations in the community that are doing well in extraordinary times”, NTCC chief executive, Ali Boswijk, says attendee numbers at this year's black-tie event have had to be scaled back from previous years. “Unfortunately, we’ve had to restrict numbers due to the 100-person limit. But on the upside, we’re livestreaming it for supporters to be able to watch online and that will give a lot more people the opportunity to see it than would otherwise. I think that’s the theme for all of us these days. Try and find an upside to the situation that you’re in and make the most of it. Our business award entrants are great examples of people doing that.” A key element of entering the Chamber’s business awards is to help owners focus on their business, create a clear game-plan and deliberate blue-prints, which then provides them with a valuable record that can be used in

Flexible and fast: Reducing COVID-19 impacts on Council budgets and projects

Keep up to date with the latest news from Nelson City Council

Logging trucks on Cable Bay Road Frequent users of Cable Bay Road should be aware that logging trucks will be using this road during the week for the next year. Private company, IFS Growth, is harvesting and extracting mature pine trees from an area behind the Cable Bay Holiday Park, Monday to Friday, with the project expected to take at least a year. Electronic signs have been installed, which let the public know when the trucks are in the vicinity. When signs are activated by the logging truck drivers and the lights are flashing, please drive with extreme caution and be prepared to stop or reverse if necessary. Truck drivers will be adhering to strict safety measures, including driving at a maximum speed of 30km/h for all of Cable Bay Road to reduce the risk of accidents occurring.

Nelson City Council voted unanimously on Thursday 17 February to create a dedicated COVID-19 fund to ensure planned capital projects can be delivered over the next few years, in response to increased prices from everchanging and unpredictable global supply issues caused by COVID-19. Interruptions to supply chains and scarcity of materials have left organisations and businesses throughout the world facing rapidly increasing costs. This inevitably places pressure on budgets, which were set prior to the disruption being felt, despite including industry-standard allowances for contingencies. To ensure tenders for planned projects can be awarded, started on time, and completed successfully, Council will create a COVID-19 fund worth $2.8 million, that will be used to cover any increased costs as a result of the pandemic. This decision comes alongside a decision to grant the Tenders Subcommittee the ability to approve the award of tenders, saving potentially 10 weeks compared to normal approval processes. Group Manager Infrastructure Alec Louverdis says creating the fund will ensure funding is easily accessible at short notice when needed, but it is designed to only be drawn on when absolutely necessary. “This streamlined process will ultimately save money for ratepayers in the longer term as materials can be secured quickly and will allow contractors to plan their work programmes with greater certainty. “Council’s projects will continue to face a lot of strain due to the economic situation created by COVID-19.

To secure the best possible prices for Nelson, and ensure we can complete planned projects, it’s vital we have this money on hand so we can act fast when required.” Nelson Mayor Rachel Reese says COVID-19 is causing disruption to the supply chain and price stability for the businesses that undertake Council’s work. “It’s important that we adjust our processes to achieve the best prices possible while we continue with infrastructure investment in the city. “These changes will provide a framework for timely decision-making while maintaining budgetary discipline. They are a temporary change and will be reviewed regularly throughout the remainder of the year.” Civil Contractors New Zealand (CCNZ) Nelson Marlborough Chairman Brendon Dodd says: “In addition to the current streamlined procurement and early contractor involvement process used successfully by Nelson City Council in close collaboration and partnership with the Nelson Marlborough CCNZ, we wish to state our support for the continued innovation by Council in thinking of ways to deal with the challenges COVID-19 is posing the industry. “Further streamlining of Council’s internal contract award processes will ensure greater certainty for all contractors and will further allow all contractors to manage pricing, workloads and programming – delivering better outcomes for all during these very tough times for the industry.” The COVID-19 fund will be reassessed by Council in 12 months’ time, giving elected members the chance to evaluate the success of the fund and whether it should continue or stop.

Grants up to $10,000 available to reduce waste Have you got a great idea about how to reduce or avoid waste going to our landfill, but could do with some financial help to make it happen? Nelson City Council’s waste minimisation grants are now open and offer up to $10,000 for businesses, community groups, iwi and schools to turn waste saving ideas into reality. In last year’s trial of waste minimisation grants, Chia Sisters used a waste minimisation grant from Council to replace their plastic pallet wrap with reusable covers, saving four cubic metres of plastic wrap per year and improving efficiency on the warehouse floor. Council also funded Bridge Valley Camp to purchase reusable lunch boxes for school lunches and supported Mutu, an app for sharing items like camping gear with others, to expand in our region. This year, there is a particular focus on grants that can help support a reduction in demolition waste and food waste, but Council is open to any project which avoids or reduces waste. “Projects can be educational, research, or practical

solutions to reduce or avoid waste,” says Group Manager of Infrastructure Alec Louverdis. “As a Council, we are committed to achieving the goal of a 10% reduction in waste to landfill for the region by 2030, but we know that we need the community’s ideas to help make this happen. “Our community is already very active and innovative around waste reduction. These grants are a way of helping people move their ideas into action,” says Alec. Council will give grants of between $2000 and $10,000 to successful projects. There is a total of $40,000 available this year. Applications for funding close on Thursday 31 March 2022.

Virtual space adventure brings Fandorama to your living room The Sheer Gown and the Lavender Dress from the Broadgreen House ‘Secret Lies Lives of Dresses’ exhibition are the subjects of a short story competition.

Call for writers to engage with fashion, history and mystery A new short story competition has launched, inviting authors to ‘write the story’ of two mysterious dresses currently on display in Broadgreen Historic House. Partly inspired by Erin McKean's 2011 novel, The Secret Lives of Dresses, Nelson City Council heritage facilities curator Māhina Marshall selected two 1950s ball gowns as the inspiration for the writing competition because their history is completely unknown. Anne Kennedy and Rachael King, two of New Zealand's most acclaimed authors, will judge the new short story competition, which is open to all writers based in Aotearoa. There are more than $3,000 in prizes to be won thanks to competition sponsors Page & Blackmore, Grand Arden Monaco and Wilsons Abel Tasman.

Community Programmes Librarian Sharmaine Ford has built an online escape room, allowing Nelson's space enthusiasts to go on an interactive adventure. The escape room sees players choose their own adventure, solve riddles and visit new worlds in a sci-fi universe. "When we went into lockdown in August last year, we were asked to look at upcoming events, including all the Fandom events, and what we could do online or virtually," says Sharmaine. "Our team had already talked about doing an escape room for Fandorama, and I decided to start working on an online escape room that we could share regardless of the COVID-19 situation." The library's "Fandom" events are mini comic conventions, helping fans nerd-out with cosplay (costume play) and activities to celebrate comics, science fiction, anime and other genres. The 2022 Fandorama in-person events were cancelled due to COVID-19, but Sharmaine's space adventure was still able to lift off. "It is inspired by 'Star Wars,' and the space opera genre of science fiction – travelling between planets, exploring and facing danger. But a player shouldn't need any knowledge of science fiction to make their way through and have some fun. "In some instances, wrong answers can add to the story. For instance, the player might find themselves fleeing from a space battle or paralysing themselves and their side-kick."

Theatre Royal ‘hanging on by fingernails’ Kate Russell Covid-19 restrictions are hurting Nelson’s Theatre Royal, with the venue struggling to stay afloat in the current pandemic. “We are hanging on by our fingernails, we have zero income,” says manager Eliane Polack. Eliane says because venues are only allowed 100 people at one time in the red traffic

light setting, nobody wants to book a show in a theatre that seats 340 people. “That is our main hurdle - it’s not financially interesting for anybody. It’s not up to us, it’s more that nobody wants to hire us. Nobody wants to take a gamble.” The theatre trust was granted $12,000 from Nelson City Council’s Covid-19 emergency fund in December to subsidise the loss of income

due to last years’ show cancellations. “It helped to patch up the bit we needed, but it is not cheap to maintain this building,” says Eliane. “And it’s not just us - everybody has problems at the moment.” Since the lockdown in August 2021, Eliane says they have staged just two shows. “I’ve had to shut down everything we could, and the rest

has been postponed. We actually can’t do anything.” She says they have been trying to think outside the box and are trying to offer the theatre space to some video projects. “Even if we were back in business tomorrow there is a long run-in time for shows and there is no more funding coming in. It’s really important that something happens.”

Paintings depict farmers connection to the land Jenny nicholson

Jan Thomson with one of her artworks. Photo: Jenny Nicholson.

As a child, Jan Thomson wanted to marry a farmer but having lived rurally for some years is happy just to paint scenes from their lives. Jan’s art exhibition Woolsheds to Wilderness started as paintings of landscapes and moved to the strong connection farmers feel to their land. “As I went to high country sta-

tions to paint, I saw more and more the strong connection farmers have to their land and their stewardship of the land.” She says she knew the majority of farmers are doing an amazing job, but it was still humbling to see them in action. “For the past few years farmers have got so much bad-mouthing,” Jan says. “It’s time we step up and say, ‘well done.’”

While some paintings depict the land and people on the farm she sees from her window, others are painted on-site. “At shearing time, I went to Lake Station and sat painting behind the wool press.” She says the physical part of painting is fairly fast when she is painting on-site. “I have to complete them in a couple of hours,” she says. “Oth-

erwise, the light changes.” Each painting is a learning opportunity for Jan. She says the experience and knowledge she has from each new painting is added to those in the future. The Woolsheds to Wilderness exhibition runs from 9.30am to 4.30pm, Monday 7 Februray to Sunday 27 February at the Nelson Suter Art Society’s McKee Gallery at 208 Bridge St, Nelson.

Tāhunanui Beach was commonly known as ‘The Sands' until a competition was run in 1902 to suggest a name, with a prize of One Guinea. 442 suggestions were made and the Māori name Tāhuna was selected, meaning ‘sea beach' or ‘sand hill'. This caused a problem for the post office, however, as there was an existing Tāhuna Post Office in Morrinsville,

so the name Tātahi (beach) was suggested, and was in use from 1908. Tatahi was not popular, however, so the name Tāhunanui was coined, referring to the locality, and was officially granted in 1911.

Our mission since 2013 is to provide free school & sports shoes to children in need, aged 5 to 13 years, in the Nelson/Tasman region. We are a charity that relies solely on donations & as we have been unable to hold our annual fundraising event for the last few years, we need your help. A donation to Walk With Us ensures we can continue to help children of families who are experiencing hardship, to buy new school or sports shoes. If your child needs shoes, please talk to your school about an application.

Vaccination mandates are continuing to polarise the sporting community. It is largely unknown just how significantly the mandates will affect local sports teams with registrations still in process. While some clubs are reporting little to no disruption, others are anticipating large numbers of players to remain on the side-lines this season. One local rugby club is set to lose as many as ten players from its senior sides. Volleyball Tasman Pam Brodie says the mandate has had little impact on the sport, with as many as 55 teams participating in a recent competition evening. “Our players all seem to be very adaptable, we have had no concerns.” She says the strong numbers came down to clear instructions and plenty of communication between management and players. “Everything could change so we will just go day by day, we want to see the kids playing and offer as much as we can.” Nelson College director of

Some school teams will be affected by the vaccine mandates in force. Photo: Shuttersport/file. Sport Alethea Stove says they have a handful of boys who will not be able to play school sport due to not being vaccinated. The college will be losing three junior volleyball players, three first XI footballs and four junior basketballers. “All our first XV rugby, senior volleyball and senior basketball players are vaccinated.” Nayland College director of sport Brendan Crichton has been receiving around five calls and emails a day from parents or students either advising that they have to withdraw from a team or asking if they can play any sport unvaccinated.

“The area of confusion for many is within the school’s curriculum, sport is available, but the problem is most school sport is extra-curricular and we use outside providers that require a vaccinate pass to participate.” Brendan says students can still train at school and be in a team but currently can’t compete outside school grounds and hours. “It's definitely had an impact on these students and also the teams. I really look forward to the future where some form of normally returns.” Waimea College Old Boys secretary Rachel Fraine says there will be minimal disruption to the club.

Grass-grub and porina moth caterpillars were causing major damage to New Zealand’s pastureland. The Cawthron Institute set up a laboratory in Ashburton to study these pests. After three years, the pests were gradually brought under con-

trol using various insecticides. The improved pasture lifted stock production, leading to millions of dollars in increased annual revenue. At the time, it was the most successful insect control programme in the country.

Rachel says they are still in the midst of junior registrations, but its senior sides are unaffected. Nelson Hockey operations manager Fabian Amor says with team registrations still a month away, it is unclear how hockey will be affected. “Nelson Hockey is a vaccine pass facility, so all participants need to present their pass to access the facility.” Richmond Athletic AFC president Chris Sibbald says the club’s committee has adopted the covid protection framework from February 3 which applies to all employees, contractors, volunteers, coaches, and members over 12 years and three months. Tasman Rugby community manager Kahu Marfell says it is still too early to know how many will be lost to the mandate, though they have plans in place to provide games for unvaccinated players. “We will look to provide rugby for players who are not MVP’d in the form of 7s and 10s depending on what traffic light setting we are in (red will be 7s or orange 10s or 12s).”

Summit signs with Suburbs Jonty Dine The top real estate company in the region is joining forces with the top football club. Nelson Suburbs FC has announced a new three-year partnership with Summit as its community football sponsor. Football development officer Phil Williams says thanks to Summit’s support, the club has launched its new “Summit Football in Schools” program. “This will enable our coaches to visit local schools regularly

throughout each term of the year, with the aim of introducing the beautiful game to more kids and to help them improve their fundamental movement and football skills.” The initiative kicked off in term one with Birchwood, Stoke, Enner Glynn, Nelson Christian Academy and Nayland Primary. Tāhunanui will jump on board in term two. “The first three school visits were last week, and the kids were fantastic and a credit to

their amazing teachers and the schools in our community.” Phil says the programme will add to the club’s existing relationship with Nelson Tasman Kindergarten’s, running the pre-school football program. Suburbs will also hold community football “pop-up” events at various locations throughout the year, all free of charge to help keep our communities active. “The club would not be able to do all this without Summit’s amazing support and passion.”

IHC kids get wet and wild There were smiles galore as Sport Tasman hosted members of the IHC community for a sports day on Friday. Organiser Chris Pugh has been running the event for the past two years and says with so many events getting cancelled due to Covid, it is imperative to get the IHC community together when possible. Chris says the Top Team initiative also extend into the local schools with almost 5000 pupils from 32 primary schools in Nelson, Marlborough, Kaikoura and Buller took part in the last annual series in 2020/21.

“It just brings a lot of positive stuff into the community.” Chris says with a number of the IHC boys and girls living in community housing, physical activity can be hard to come by. Friday’s event saw 16 people taking part in wet activities, requiring balance, coordination, cooperation and problem solving. Among the highlights saw competitors run with a gumboot full of water, navigate water through a series of pipes into a bucket, and slide on their stomachs along a tarpaulin towards a bullseye.

A legend comes to town YOLANDE JEFFARES The opportunity arose to help out the first kayak fisher in NZ to catch a marlin, Kerry Flowers. He was down in Nelson, so time for some southern hospitality. His partner and her companions were walking the Abel Tasman track, he wanted to paddle and dive his way around. I dropped him and my Viking Reload off in Marahau. No sit on kayaks available... unbelievable! I hit Cable Bay in my PF400 but the closest I got to a fish was a seal almost throwing its kahawai in my yak - a wee bit too close, large mammals with bit teeth! Up at 2.30am the next morning for Stephens Bay. Solo mission in the dark, first time there. Went wide then conditions dictated I paddle over to Split Apple Rock. Was most pleased to find some snapper.

The gung-ho water craft did my head in - I got absolutely drenched by wake from a “regular operator” and was lucky to stay in my yak! Back to Stephen’s Bay, loaded up and headed to Marahau to pick up Kerry returning in from a 30km paddle. The next day back to Cable Bay again - we’d swapped over kayaks so I was back in the Reload by stupid o’clock. One of us may have fallen asleep out there! Plenty of fish about, just not much action. Kerry landed a Kingi but it was a bit shy of the mark while I picked up a snapper that, in hindsight, I should have kept. Kerry did some diving and got a couple of fish on the spear. I just had the kingis taunt me – taking nothing. I hope they had a great time exploring our great region. I certainly enjoyed showing them around.

Mitchell Bailey was outstanding for Atheletic College Old Boys on Saturday. Photo: Evan Barnes/Shuttersport.

All-round Bailey brilliance gets ACOB home jonty Dine Mitchell Bailey was a one-man band for Athletic College Old Boys on Saturday. Bailey top scored with 80 before claiming a five-wicket haul as his side defeated rivals Stoke/Nayland by 81 runs in round two of the Nelson 50-over competition. Coming into bat in just the second over, Bailey blasted ten fours and two sixes to propel ACOB to 192 all out at the Botanics. He found little support, however, with Matt Deaker snaring 3/45 off his ten overs. At 94/5, Car Company Stoke/Nayland looked every chance of ending ACOB’s streak of dominance, before a late collapse saw Stoke lose its last five wickets for just 17 runs. Bailey again caused most of the damage, finishing with the impressive figures of 5/18 from 7.4. “It felt pretty good, probably my best game all round that I’ve ever had,” he said after the game. With a slew of its stars away on Griffins’ duty, Bailey shouldered the responsibility as one of the senior members of the side “We always know that when the

rep guys are away it’s going to be hard, but we have just got to step up and can’t think ‘oh the next guy will score the runs instead of me.’” Elsewhere, Wakatu cruised to a seven-wicket victory over Waimea Toi Toi United at Jubilee Park. Ryan Hooper ripped through the hosts line up, taking 6/24 including the first four of the innings and a wicket with the opening ball of the game. Waimea eventually fell for 131, Ryan Flowers grinding out a top score of 33. Wakatu cruised to the target with the loss of just three wickets, Bryan Krammer and Campbell McLean finishing unbeaten on 42 and 32 respectively. In the final match played on Sunday, Nelson College picked up a rare victory over Taylors Contracting Wanderers/Motueka. Veteran Jon Routhan bagged four wickets for college as Wanderers was all out for just 130, Craig Hampton falling just shy of a half century. It was a patient but determined chase by Nelson, plodding along at under three an over to reach the target with three wickets and just 13 balls to spare.
