Fields torn up in ‘selfish’ joy ride MAX FRETHEY
A ‘selfish’ joy ride that tore up four Nelson sports grounds has left officials ‘gutted’ at the muddy damage which will mean closures while the grass is repaired.
Muddy car tyre tracks have gouged the grounds of Saxton Field in Stoke, the Tāhunanui Recreation Reserve, as well as Neale Park and the Broads Fields in Nelson. Police say the damage was caused on Friday night and
early Saturday morning. Nelson Suburban Football Clubs president Gary Booth says he was horrified to see the damage. “I’m absolutely gutted to see what has happened to our Saxton grounds and also the other clubs’
pitches. This is so infuriating for everyone at Nelmac and our club that works hard to provide quality pitches for our members and the public to enjoy.” Gary says the incident has highlighted the region’s need for an
enclosed, artificial pitch for the 3,000 people who play football locally. “That damage will affect our kids’ games now since the grass won’t

Wheels spin for new hub Pippi Taylor soars through the air at the opening of the Maitai Recreation hub at Waahi Taakaro Golf Club on Saturday. The hub includes a world-class asphalted pump track, mountainbike facilities, new golf practice nets and outdoor decking at the clubhouse, with access from the newly-upgraded section of the pathway from Sunday Hole. The project was a unique collaboration between Waahi Taakaro, who manages the course on a day to day basis and invested in their own infrastructure improvements, and the Nelson City Council, who paid for the facility alongside the Government. Manager of Waahi Taakaro Golf Club Peter Watson says the hard work now begins to fulfil their ambitions of creating a mecca for recreation. Nelson councillor Tim Skinner called the project a “great quality Swiss army knife of a facility”. Photo: Evan Barnes.

However, the Saxton fields weren’t as lucky and will need to be closed for around two weeks while the turf is repaired. “We are investigating alternative
training space for the football clubs who play there,” Andrew says. Council is unsure how the vandal’s vehicle accessed Neale Park as it has full bollard protection. Andrew says that installing similar preventative measures along the Tāhunanui Recreation Reserve and Saxton Field would be difficult and costly given their large sizes. A police spokesperson confirmed on Monday that they had been notified of the incidents and says police are following positive lines of enquiry to identify those responsible for the damage. At the time, they said nobody had been arrested. Andrew confirmed that council would be looking for those responsible to cover the cost of the repairs, which are still to be estimated.

Nelson Hospital rebuild certain but not speedy MAX FRETHEY Nelson Hospital is set to get a slice of $1.3 billion to redevelop its buildings, as part of the Government’s Budget 2022, with construction expected to break ground before the end of the parliamentary term. $1.3 billion has been put aside over the next two years for health capital investments around the country and Nelson Hospital is set to get part of the investment. “We’re making the investments needed to modernise hospitals,” Minister of Health Andrew Little says. “This year’s health infrastructure budget delivers critical investment for rebuilds of hospitals in Whangārei, Nelson and Hillmorton.” In 2021, the budget for redevelopment of Nelson Hospital was estimated at about $713 million but it is understood that the total cost would exceed that. Nelson MP Rachel Boyack says it’s well-known that Nelson Hospital is earthquakeprone and needs a significant upgrade to provide for our aging and growing population. Nelson Hospital’s George
Manson block was identified as the worst hospital building in the country following a nationwide stocktake of the country’s hospitals by thenMinister of Health David Clark.
It will not be finished quickly, it needs to be built properly Rachel Boyack “That put us at the top of the list for funding,” Rachel says. No specific amount of money has been allocated to Nelson Hospital, but funds will go towards redevelopment planning for the hospital which has needed infrastructure upgrades for some years. Rachel says that the project should break ground for its construction before the end of the current parliamentary term. “We’ve got that certainty to be able to begin the project.” However, Rachel warns that the new building’s construction will not be a speedy process with funding expected to
come from multiple budgets over the next few years. “It will not be finished quickly; it needs to be built properly.” She says that a rebuild of Nelson Hospital would be the largest capital project in Nelson in a generation and would provide jobs as the region recovers from the Covid-19 pandemic. “We are just ensuring that we are getting on with that really important investment that had been neglected for a long time.” Rachel says there are many other benefits that Nelsonians will see from the 2022 budget, Every New Zealander earning under $70,000 and who doesn’t qualify for the Winter Energy Payment will receive $350, paid in monthly instalments of $117 between August and October. The First Home Grant caps have also been raised for Nelson Tasman which increases the value of homes that can be bought or built for recipients of the grant. “We know that Nelson is one of the regional centres that has real challenges around housing affordability. Having been through this myself, I know how difficult it can be for first home buyers.”

Back by popular demand, there will be a section dedicated to books about birds and there is plenty on offer for children and parents. The Founders Annual Book Fair runs from 4 - 12 June, 10am 4:30pm daily.
A man accused of doctoring young women’s pictures taken from social media sites has been remanded on bail with strict conditions. Marlborough Police arrested a 56-year-old man last week following an investigation into harmful online activity that targeted predominantly teenage girls from the Marlborough area. The arrest followed informa-
tion that a number of young women’s pictures had been taken from social media sites and doctored with sexually explicit additions for reposting to adult websites. Investigators traced the activity to a Nelson address, and the man, who cannot be named yet, was arrested and charged with causing digital harm, possession of objectionable material and child exploitation. Detective Senior Sergeant Ciaran Sloan said this type
of crime was extremely upsetting for those affected by it. In the Nelson District Court on Monday the man was remanded on bail without plea until June 20. Judge Tony Zohrab imposed a set of strict bail conditions, including that he not access the internet except for work or to carry out banking, to not possess any device or item capable of taking digital images, and to not be in contact with any female un-
der the age of 18. The police advise anyone affected by this type of behaviour to report it. Anyone with concerns about their online security can access advice through Netsafe here: https://www.netsafe. org.nz/privacy-settings-onsocial-networks/ O P E N

Support workers: ‘We are not valued’
Maori representatives appointed to council
Four Te Tauihu Māori have been appointed to Nelson City Council committees. In a ceremony held at a Trafalgar Park Pavillion last Thursday, Naomi Aporo, Shanell Kelly, Chanel Starkey and Tom Alesana were officially welcomed to their roles on the council’s infrastructure, audit risk and finance, urban development and community and recreation committees. Rachel Reese said the appointments are a part of the councils aim to bring council closer to iwi and an important step in honouring te Tiriti principles.
SARA HOLLYMAN Nelson support workers and union members have called the Government’s offer of a $0.70 pay increase ‘backward’. The Care and Support Workers (Pay Equity) Settlement Act, passed in 2017, and delivered $2 billion in wage rises to care workers in residential aged care facilities, as well as those who care for elderly, disabled and injured people in their own homes. The historic pay deal took years of activism and two years of negotiations but is due to expire in July, with no continued agreement in place. This has left the affected workers angry, disappointed and once again, undervalued. Local support workers say it is nearimpossible to attract new staff into the industry as it is not seen as a viable career option due to its low pay and heavy workload. “Everything that we achieved five years ago is getting kicked to the kerb – these guys are actually going backwards,” says PSA

Starting rate is $21.68 – just $0.48 more than minimum wage. “It means we are going to be constantly trying to recruit people to this industry because they don’t see a career path, we are already 3000 workers short across the country.” Kate says, because we have such a high concentration of people with need and are an aging community, we need to be doing everything we can to support the
workers. “The residents of this region should be worried. If they want to stay in their homes, have people supporting them to do that, you’re reliant on these people, so every resident should be worried about this pay offer.” Carena Scott is a support worker assisting elderly to stay in their own home. Her day-to-day work consists of personal care including showering, toileting, sanitary products for incontinence, meal support
for breakfast, lunch and dinner, making sure people are taking their medication and housework. Days are often long and busy, with support workers visiting 16 clients a day, not uncommon. A time period of five minutes to get between clients, is common, even though it’s sometimes kilometres away. For Carena, the biggest concern is short-staffing due to the low pay. “I’m really concerned that we are not attracting new people into the industry.”
Nelson City Council announced last Thursday that two earthquake-prone building notices have been issued to Civic House. The buildings bracing along Tower Block roof has been deemed “high risk” and ceiling tiles in various parts throughout Civic House have been found to not meet New Building Standards. Council staff have been relocated from the building’s sixth floor and council meetings are once again being hosted over Zoom, just one week after returning to council chambers.

Mother and daughter care for deceased SARA HOLLYMAN A bond between a mother and daughter can last a lifetime, but for motherdaughter duo Richeal Walker and Imogen Vickerman, their bond extends to death too. Richeal is training her daughter Imogen in the art of embalming, with the pair working together at Simplicity Funerals for nearly a year. Richeal says it’s easy to share her skill with Imogen as they are both as passionate about their work as each other. “For me, my passion is in the mortuary,” Richeal says. “That’s my happy place, I’m comfortable in there.”
She says she feels “honoured” to do the work. “Which is a word that you hear loads in the industry, but it’s because they really mean it, to look after someone’s person.” Richeal says their job differs to that of a funeral director. “They care for the families and I’m there to care for the deceased. I’m their voice, if they need certain things, I’m the one that voices that for them.” Richeal says that it doesn’t matter the person in their care is a baby, or 100-years-old. “They’re still someone’s baby and as a mother that’s how I see it.” Imogen says, after seeing her mother
enter the industry 10 years ago and experiencing her journey, the enthusiasm for her work was contagious. “Seeing her passion sparked my interest on top of the usual ‘I wonder what happens when you die’. “I became quite intrigued and interested.” Almost a year into the job Imogen says she can’t imagine herself doing anything else. “I love it, I love coming to work, I love being able to help people especially when they are so vulnerable and in their grieving process it’s a powerful
thing to be able to do.” Richael says, despite being labelled an ‘embalmer’, not everyone is actually embalmed – the term for preserving a deceased body by staving off the effects of decomposition. “We care for the deceased, whether that be tucking them up into their casket with no viewings or giving them their last bath, washing their hair, cleaning their fingernails, and presenting them that way or an embalm so the family have got time to make decisions or bring family from across the world.”
Richeal has done all sorts of work - from supermarket checkouts, sewing, and running her own business. Imogen has also worked in different areas, but the pair hope that their working relationship at Simplicity will be a long one. “I feel privileged to be able to be trained by mum, especially in this industry because it’s an emotional job,” Imogen says. “You see a lot of things so to have mum as that support … to be able to debrief and talk about it in confidence, I know that she knows what I’m feeling.”

Putting shoes on region’s youth SARA HOLLYMAN For the team at Walk with Us, knowing that for some children the pair of shoes the trust provides is the first new thing they have ever owned, brings home the good they are doing for the community. Trustee Jenny Bates says she knows of some children who have slept with their new pair of kicks because they are so special. Walk with Us was established in 2013 after conversations with Nelson Tasman principals identified a real need for school and sports footwear for the region’s youth. Families can be referred through school to the charity who then organise for the child to head into one of their footwear partners to choose a brand-new pair of sports or school shoes. With the cost-of-living sky rocketing, the charity knows the 600 pairs of shoes they have provided to children in the region is just the beginning, which is why they are grateful for a $5000 boost from Nelson Building Society (NBS). Stirling Sports owner Wyatt Crockett, who is one of the charity’s footwear partners, knows the
NBS chief executive Tony Caddigan, Walk with Us trustee Jenny Bates and Stirling Sports owner Wyatt Crockett are helping put shoes on the region’s youth. Photo: Sara Hollyman. difference sports can make in a child’s life. “One of the great things about sports is it breaks down all those social boundaries. Being able to put on a pair of rugby boots, netball or running shoes on your feet is sometimes all you need, and once you’re out there, everyone’s equal, it doesn’t matter where you live or your situation. Kids don’t
have to worry about those other things, and being able to put those new shoes on makes them feel a little bit special.” Stirling Sports and other footwear partners provide shoes at a discount rate so the money can go further. “The work that Walk with Us do is just incredible,” Wyatt says. “We all want the youth of this re-
gion to be able to do those simple things like play sport and enjoy leisure activities and feel confident while they’re doing that.” The charity relies heavily on donations from individuals and sponsors and by organising fundraising events. Like many other community groups, recent fundraising efforts have been curtailed by Covid-19.
“Being able to select something from the wall, it’s not about price, it’s a pretty special thing to do. Sometimes a family will come in with four or five kids and they’re putting a pair of shoes on all of those kids, and they just wouldn’t be able to do that without this charity,” Wyatt says. Jenny says after having to postpone last year’s fundraising auction, sponsorship from NBS has come at a very welcome time. “It is becoming increasingly challenging for struggling families to provide these important items for their children.” NBS CEO Tony Cadigan is proud that NBS can support the great work of the charity and says “One of our key aims is to make a difference in our local community and we can see the positive impact that Walk with Us make by providing shoes to kids who really need them.” Walk with Us are currently planning their next fundraising event and invite the community to support their work by donating via their website.

Students study future of mussels SARA HOLLYMAN Will rising sea temperatures affect how mussels eat? Does the PH of the water affect how quickly mussels grow? What does a change of environment do to a mussel’s heart rate? These are questions that Year 13 students from across the district had the opportunity to explore last week. A partnership between Cawthron, Otago University and NMIT saw a university marine scientist spend two weeks investigating the molluscs with different groups of high school students from Nelson and Marlborough. Local colleges sent small groups of students to the Cawthron Aquaculture Park in Nelson last week. As part of a Level 3 achievement standard, students had to carry out a biological investigation and Nelson College for Girls students Kate Southwick and Sophie Thomas say being at Cawthron gave them the best opportunity to do that. “I take all the sciences at school and I’ve always been interested in doing investigations, but being in a science lab has sparked some more interest. Working with live

Photo: Sara Hollyman. animals has been really cool,” Sophie says. “I’ve always wanted to be a vet or marine biologist, animals are really interesting.” Kate says she was working to find out how PH levels in the water affect mussels. “I’m trying to find out if they eat more or how much they eat at different PH levels which can be
linked to climate change because the oceans PH is rising, so I’m seeing if it’s going to be a problem for their feeding.” Kate says the lab has given her valuable opportunities. “I think it’s really fun, I’ve never been in a lab before so finding out what it’s like has been a really good experience. She says she would like to go into
an engineering field in the future. “I’d always kind of ruled out chemistry and thought I don’t want to be a lab scientist, but this has kind of made me think, well, maybe it’s not that bad.” Otago University professional practice fellow in marine science Steve Cutler, says there were some interesting investigations taking place.
“Some students are looking at the affect of pharmaceuticals that come out into the coastal environment. “We are beginning to measure in the world suprising levels of things like caffeine and paracetemol coming out through the water, so some are looking at the effect of caffeine or paracetemol concentration on the mussel’s heart rate.” He says it’s been a learning curve for everyone. “It’s the only probable chance, not only in high-school but also early years of university, to do such an intensive programme where they are the sole responsible person for carrying out a rigorous scientific investigation,” Steve says. Being at Cawthron gave the students access to mussel spat which are just 2-3mm long, but very mobile. These spat are at the point where they are ready to settle in an area where they will grow into their adult form, which gave the perfect opportunity to see how variables affect outcomes of their future growth. Over a two-day period, students had the opportunity to test a range of scenarios in a practical environment.

Maude celebrates 100 years MAX FRETHEY Maude McLean celebrated her 100th birthday recently – a milestone she credits to living a clean life and her natural West Coast hardiness. “No smoking, no drinking. Born in the coast though, we’re tough down the coast.” During WW2, Maude worked at the Reefton Hospital until she got
appendicitis and had to stop. “Scrubbing floors and corridors,” she says. “And looking after the nurses, their meals and their dishes.” She biked more than a mile from Blacks Point every morning, “summer and winter, rain and sunshine ... I enjoyed it there”. Maude met her husband Mason, a Nelsonian who had come to Reefton as a coal miner.
The pair married in 1950 and moved to Nelson in 1953 so Mason could help work on his father’s farm. Eventually, her parent-in-laws opened McLean’s Home Centre in Stoke where Maude worked for a few years. Otherwise, Maude largely kept busy at home. Maude still lives in her own home in Stoke. “I’ve just been in this house for 60 years, it wants doing
up, it’s like me.” Maude says, while she played indoor bowls for many years, its word puzzles she spends time on now. “That’s what I do in my pastime, word puzzles. Keep my eyesight going.” With three children, seven grandchildren, and 14 great grandchildren, Maude has a large family, though only her son Grant is

based in Nelson. As a congratulations for reaching 100 years, Maude received cards from Queen Elizabeth II, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, Governor-General Dame Cindy Kiro, and Minister for Seniors Ayesha Verrall. Despite the considerable milestone, Maude says her life hasn’t been particularly notable. “It’s not been a very exciting life, but one I liked, and I’ve enjoyed.” The weekend cold snap gave Rainbow Ski Field a taste of what is to come with an early dumping of 35-40cm of snow. Mountain manager Thomas Harry says the opening weekend will fly round soon enough. “It was an epic weekend with a big dump at the base and similar up top with more snow over the weekend. We open on 9 July, so there is still time to get your season pass lined up. Bring on the 2022 season.” The resort has a fundraising ball on 18 June at the Playhouse Theatre in Mapua. “It’s $50 a head and includes a rolling nibbles meal and entertainment.” For tickets, go to Eventfinda.

Dog tracked eight days after going missing JENNY NICHOLSON When Jolene Horrell’s dog Midnight went missing and had not been found eight days later, she was heartbroken. “We have three dogs, and they are all cherished members of the family,” she says. “I was grieving all eight days.” Midnight and their fox terrier had wandered away from the house at 8am, and at 2pm the terrier returned. Family, friends, and members of the community began searching the 270 hectare property for Midnight. “We tried a drone, a tracking collar and a go-pro on the foxy to see where she went, but no luck.” She was contacted by Debbie Richards, a stranger, who had previously had her lost dog tracked by Don Schwass and his dog. Jolene contacted Don and says from the start he understood her grief and anxiety, as well as what may be going on in the dog’s mind. Don was happy to look for Midnight. He asked Jolene to stop all other searches so the area would be as clear as possible for his dog the next morning. “Because Midnight went missing at 8am, I wanted to start looking at the same time.

Dogs go into the wind nine out of ten times.” Don searched with his dog Piper, making note of the places the dog showed interest. Two and a half hours into the search Midnight was found not far from home. Jolene says it was overwhelming, because she had really thought
her dog had died. Although Midnight had lost about 4kg, she showed no sign of distress or injury. Volunteering with Search and Rescue for over 30 years, along with additional tracker training in the United States has given Don a unique skillset. He says searching for people or animals
is partly about that skillset and partly perseverance. While looking for Jolene’s dog wasn’t part of his Land SAR work, it was something he was happy to do. He says searching for people and animals is all about keeping families together. He was recently part of a search for a woman on Mount Duppa. In that search he was out
walking from 9 pm to 5 am with one 840m stretch of dense bush taking two hours to navigate through. “The emotion I saw on Jolene’s face when I tracked her dog was the same as the husband of the rescued woman when they were reunited,” Don says. “Pets are someone’s mate, their best friends.”

Opinion
Opinion I’ve enjoyed reading very thought-provoking articles in the last two editions. The proximity of the alpine fault line to Nelson undoubtedly poses a huge risk and the consequences following an event that could happen at any time are frightening to contemplate. The Peta Carey article was very good. Erin Bradnock’s two articles considering risks to Nelson Airport were also opportune and they prompted me to verify the situation using empirical records and data. The articles report that our land is sinking 5mm a year and that the sea level is rising 3mm giving an effective rise of 8mm. This over 22 years equates to 11cm or 4.5 inches. Since 2021 I have asked our Port Company from time to time, what changes have been recorded at the port. No such rises were indicated and my last requests for feedback were not responded to. The 8mm a year can’t be something new and must have been happening year on year. Data should be able to produce undeniable verification that we are facing a potential catastrophe. Given the risk to our city, and particularly our airport and its new grand terminal build-
ing, it would be great if our democracy reporter Erin could dig into the records over the last two decades to follow up on her good work. Ian Barker Your correspondent, Dan McGuire, deserves support to halt the so called “turbocharged” library project. In the 10-year plan process this project attracted just over 200 supporting submissions or around 1 per cent of ratepayers. Since then, soaring building costs and rising interest rates on a project fully funded on borrowings must surely warrant a review. This is council’s biggest project spend ever and will go close to it reaching its debt ceiling, which the ratepayer funds. Five per cent on say $60 million is $3 million a year. But first, some up to the minute information would help. What is the current cost estimate? What does that equate to per square meter? How much price escalation is included? What is the story with the proposed site? Freehold or leasehold? Is council locked in to a deal re the site? Nobody I speak to supports this

project. If council is so confident that it has support, how about they test it with a referendum at the October election time. Just ask a simple question. Do you support the library project proceeding? Yes/No. R. D. Wilson The Ukrainian community of Nelson-Tasman would like to sincerely thank everyone who contributed to the Aroha for Ukraine rally on May 14 at the Top of Trafalgar St. The support was truly heart-warming and, thanks to social media, we know that the success of the rally lifted spirits in Ukraine as well. Special thanks must go to Nelson City Councillor Matt Lawrey for organising, publicising and MCing the event. Thank you also to Councillor Pete Rainey and the choir for the beautiful performance of Prayer for Ukraine. We would also like to convey our gratitude to our speakers Nelson Mayor Rachel Reese and MP Rachel Boyack, as well as to all of our speakers from the Ukrainian communities of the Top of the South. Special thanks must also go to our special guest, Valeriya Horyayeva, who only escaped from Ukraine weeks ago and whose speech moved
many people to tears. We would also like to thank Nelson Soroptimists for their wonderful peony fundraiser. We also thank our guests Eva Maureau from Abel Tasman Canyons, Nataliya Langbridge of Motueka, Anna Fyfe from Multicultural Nelson Tasman, Steven Zindel (whose picture is now popular in Ukraine), members of the Russian community who stand with Ukraine, and everyone who attended.

Care industry crisis
Nurses are fighting for pay, Allied Health professionals are striking and now Care and Support workers are unhappy (make that livid) regarding the paltry 70 cents per hour pay increase we have been offered by Minister Little. I am one of those livid workers.The New Zealand care industry is in crisis, due to a range of factors. Notably: staff shortages, work stress, a lack of acknowledgment or appreciation and appallingly low pay rates. There are in excess of 3000 job vacancies in the care sector nationally and 86 vacancies in the Nelson region alone. Not surprising when you realise that entry level wage rates in my industry are mere cents above minimum wage and below the living wage. If we focus on the Nelson region only, we can be sure that unless addressed immediately the situation here will worsen exponentially. Nelson has a rapidly aging population and due to its appeal as a desirable place to retire this means that we need a workforce of skilled, compassionate, dedicated staff to ensure that older people are
Miller’s Acre costs balloon The only person/people who are responsible for the leaking building are the architects/designers of the building. Appalling design! It should be waterproof from the day the roof went on, end of story! Roger Percivall Another bottomless pit, but the ratepayers will fork it out as usual. Where is the accountability? Peter Paul Fierek Mould, leaky building syndrome etc etc also found in other buildings! Methinks building standards need to be made leak proof too. Too much of ratepayer’s money being wasted here! Don’t get me started on the wastage on cycle tracks around town! Painted lines and barriers etc....I digress......all of this is an insult to ratepayer’s intelligence.

able to be cared for, ideally in their own homes. Independence, pride and dignity are important to us all and certainly no less so to the aged. Residing in their own home is a huge part of this independence, but that is not an option if we don’t have the skilled people, well paid and valued to make this possible. I’m a support worker employed in a Nelson community house (of which there are approximately 100 in Nelson). This dwelling is home to several young people who have a variety of conditions which can make life difficult for them. These conditions are both mental and physical, but all require care monitoring and attention. Yes, I know I’ve jumped from older people to younger people but this because illness, infirmity and ailments exist across the whole age spectrum. Home care, residential care, institutional care all require CARE GIVERS. The most vulnerable members of any society are those unable to care for themselves and a measure of civil society is its willingness to provide the best support possible for its disadvantaged citizens.
On any average day a care worker will provide the most intimate cares, including showering, toileting, feeding, dispensing medication (serious pharmaceuticals), cooking, cleaning, laundry, comforting, consoling, calming, driving, entertaining and interacting. On that same average day, the care worker may subjected to violence, abuse, fatigue, stress and bullying. Care workers accept that all of the above are part of the job, but what care workers don’t and won’t accept is that crap money is a fair recompense for a skill which is in perilously short supply but in massively high demand. We do an important job. We care about and care for your most precious. If not us, then who will care for you, when you need support? I appeal to the populace- support our campaign for increased wages. This is a serious issue, so please take us seriously. Pay us what we deserve and are worth. The community will get it back tenfold. And to my colleagues and friends I say; Kia kaha keep fighting for what we are worth. Michael Corcoran

Building a strong team from the ground up With over 20 years in the painting trade, Brumwell Painting owner operator Adam Brumwell knows exactly what it takes to deliver a quality service to his clients. He strongly believes in the value of teaching a craft well and it shows, with the proficient and experienced team he has created over his years as a local business owner. “Painting as a trade is growing in popularity and there is lots of great young people keen to get into it, especially females, over the last few years which I think has been great for the industry. Apprentices are completely new to the trade and it’s great to teach them correctly from the beginning, and in time they become great tradespeople. Two of our staff that have been apprentices with us are now leading teams on jobs, which is rewarding to see.” Based in Richmond, and covering the wider Nelson Tasman region, the small familyowned business has grown from strength to strength since its inception 13 years ago, and
Adam credits this success to the passionate and caring attitude of his team. “I think we have grown the way we have in clients because of the crew that we have. I try to look for people who are enthusiastic about the trade and enjoy their work, as well as being friendly and understanding of the potential disruption our work can impose upon a client’s home.” Adam personally oversees each project and prides himself on providing top-quality workmanship and the ability to provide a strong network of trusted contractors. “We do a really wide variety of work, from the interior and exterior of large heritage villas and brand-new architectural homes to commercial buildings, a wall in a bathroom, or similar small jobs. I never turn down work, if we can complete it in the required timeframe, and aim to make every client a repeat client.” Brumwell Painting offers a wide range of services specialising in painting roofs of all shapes and sizes, from simple and easy-
to-access single-storey homes to steeply pitched, multi-level, complex homes which require a lot of planning and scaffolding. As well as painting services, Adam says the business offers clients an option to use Paint Stripper Pro for weatherboard homes. “We complete a lot of old weatherboard houses with old boards that have often been neglected over the years. We give clients the option for us to use the Paint Stripper Pro to strip those boards back to bare wood. This in effect gives you a blank canvas to start from so you don’t have to deal with an old failing paint system underneath on which you are putting new paint on top of. This can be a great option for those with older homes.” Adam says that over the upcoming cooler months the business’s focus will be on completing interior projects. “If your home or commercial building needs some work give us a call on 0276718417 or email us at info@ brumwellpainting.co.nz and I can come and give you an obligation free quote.”
We’re Growing! Join the Team Adam Brumwell

Jumpin, Nelson’s preschool playground area. Swim lessons with Swim Magic are a fun way to spend quality time with your baby/toddler, offering classes from six months of age. Together in the water, parent and child participate in a range of fun and stimulating activities designed to gain confidence in the water, teach water safety and emergent swimming skills. All activities are based around the child’s current development and are also designed to help enhance development in the three key areas: physical, cognitive and emotional. It is a proven fact that children learn through play, and the programme provides this opportunity, children can experience the joy of water in a safe, warm and controlled environment. Babies are not born with a fear of water, so starting swimming at a young age is the ideal time to get them into a fun aquatic environment, where they will learn to associate the pool and swimming as a fun activity.
All of the Magic Moment levels receive unlimited free pool access whilst enrolled in lessons. Jumpin’s Preschool time is lots of fun and a safe place for kids to run free inside. No problem with the weather at Jumpin! Our kids’ areas are always open and ready for fun. The playground with tunnel slide and bouncy castle has a preschool party area right beside it to have your child’s party in, all fenced and secure. We have an under-8 trampoline area with their very own foam pit, and they are also allowed on any of the other trampolines if supervised, so can really get rid of that excess energy.

American import Jarrod West wants a championship title JACK MALCOLM Jarrod West has big ambitions in his first professional basketball contract with the Mike Pero Nelson Giants. As a player, he says his primary goal is to be the best version of himself he can be - on and off the court. His short-term goal, this season, is to win a championship. Coming from America’s Louisville Cardinals, a division 1 team in the NCAA, Jarrod has a wealth of experience against high level competition. He has already made a strong impression after he was brought in to help address what head coach Mike Fitchett saw as shortfalls in their defence last season. Jarrod comfortably leads the Sals NBL league for steals with 4.8 per game. He recorded seven steals, the most by a player to date this season, in both their opening round game against the Otago Nuggets and last weekend against the Canterbury Rams. “Not just being a one-sided player, but I do set the tempo defensively,” he says. “I can impact the game on both sides of the ball.” With 5.8 assists per game over their first four matches, he sits
Jarrod West was scouted for the Giants because of his defensive abilities, but he has the ability to make a difference on both sides of the court having scored 25 points against the Canterbury Rams on Saturday.

Centre Caleb Coventry looks to fend off Nelson fullback Paddy MillerLeef during Stoke’s 36-19 win at Trafalgar Park. Caleb scored a hat trick of tries to secure his team’s victory against an improved Nelson. The win sees Stoke take second place on the Tasman Trophy leaderboards after three rounds with 11 points, separated from Kahurangi (10) by just one bonus point after two wins apiece. Renwick (14) lead the standings with a perfect record after beating Marist at home 28-12. In the other games of the weekend Kahurangi beat Central 25-10 and Waitohi defaulted to Waimea Old Boys.

in five seasons. In 2017, Jarrod led West Virginia’s Notre Dame High School to a state championship and was named the best player in the state
with an average of 20.5 points, six rebounds, six assists and six steals as a senior. On the starting roster for the Giants just days after he arrived in the country, he says he’s now comfortable and acclimatised to the Nelson region. Jarrod was scouted during his time at Louisville by their coach and Tall Blacks assistant coach, Ross McMains, who also happens to be friends with Mike. “After being coached by Ross and having to hear about how great New Zealand was all the time, I couldn’t turn down the chance to come down here and play. “Fitch did a good job of selling the place. . . and it became a bit of a no-brainer to come to Nelson.” Jarrod says he already feels at home within the Giants team, with all his teammates and the support staff welcoming him with open arms. “The chemistry, the vibe and the comradery are really good.” Speaking after their opening game, he says it didn’t take long to integrate into the team’s culture. “I’ve only been here a week and it feels like it’s something bigger than basketball.” The Giants will play Hawke’s Bay Hawks at the Trafalgar Centre this Saturday at 5.30pm.

$18k in grants secured for local sports MAX FRETHEY Nelson College director of sports Alethea Stove has managed to secure just over $18,000 in grants to help support sports in Nelson. The first of her two grants was $12,000 for Nelson College so new sets of balls for eight different sports can be bought for the school’s teams. “I reckon there’s 150 [balls to buy] across those sports,” Alethea says. “And they range from $24 per ball to $135 per ball.” The college frequently requires new balls as sport’s popularity in the school means they’re quickly worn down over a year or two. “We would go through six to seven thousand dollars’ worth of balls a season,” Alethea says about cricket alone. Additionally, due to the current Covid-19 regulations, students haven’t been able to have physical education inside the gym. “Our basketballs are not made to be used outside, so all of those basketballs that have been used for Year 10 outside, they’re all destroyed.” Making sport in schools accessible to as many students as possible is important to Alethea.
Alethea Stove has managed to secure $18,000 in grants to support sport at Nelson College and the local inline hockey club. Photo: Max Frethey. “It’s really hard because sport is a user-pays system,” she says. “The association charges us $120 per boy to play basketball, so it’s really difficult for us to put money on top of that to pay for balls or to pay for uniforms. “Finance is just one of the barriers for people not playing… If I can keep the fees down, it ultimately allows more people to be involved.” The other grant that Alethea secured was $6,300 for the Nelson Whalers Inline Hock-
ey Club. Inline hockey is a sport much like ice hockey except it is played in rollerblades on a roller rink. Both were funded through the New Zealand Community Trust. The grant money will be put towards a dozen new sets of junior protective gear. Children who currently wish to try the sport must use old and mismatched sets of protective gear. “We wouldn’t have had funding for 14 years… so when a
kid comes to try the sport, we need it to be a good experience.” Alethea hopes the new equipment will make it easier for younger people to get into the sport. “Definitely more accessible and definitely a nicer experience,” she says. “It’s hard to explain how good it will actually be compared to what we’re doing right now.” Donna Finlay has two sons who are involved in inline hockey. “They love it.” She says some weeks a lot of children try inline hockey, but because they only have a few aging sets of protective gear, there’s little equipment to go around. “If we don’t have enough gear, you might have a small child in big gloves which makes it hard to play,” she says. “You want them to feel safe.” So, getting some new protective gear for the kids would make a real difference for kids trying inline hockey for the first time, Donna says. “It would just be amazing.” The grants were funded through gaming machines located at the Ocean Lodge Hotel in Nelson, Hotel Motueka, and the Tapawera Hotel.

Bowls
Don Kennett, Trevor Higgs and Gordon Palmer won the Richmond Bowling Club’s drawn triples tournament held last Thursday. They finished with six wins, 15 ends and 28 points to take the title ahead of Steve Ford, Wayne Seelen and Linda Sisterson (6/12/21). Stu Peterson, Marty Thompson and Don Horne finished third (6/11/32).
Artistic Roller Skaters
The Artistic Roller Sport’s Southern Area Championships were held at Tahunanui’s Skate Nelson rink last weekend. Similar to figure skating at the Olympics but on roller skates, 12 local competitors took part in the event which also served as a qualifying event for the national championships in July. Angela Middlebrook, Addy Nees, Hayley Nam and Keiko Bamba qualified to represent Nelson.
Football
Nelson Suburbs continued its strong start to the Nelson Bays Football first division season with a 4-1 win over FC Nelson at Saxton Field at the weekend. The win means Suburbs maintain their three-point lead at the top of the standings over Blenheim-based Rangers, after they beat FC Nelson Karenni 11-0. Elsewhere, Motueka picked up its first win of the season with a 2-1 win over third-placed Nelson Suburbs Seals while Richmond Athletic won the mid-table battle over Tahuna FC, 2-0.
Division 1 Rugby
An improved Nelson couldn’t make the most of the strong breeze at their backs in their 3619 loss to Stoke, while Renwick beat Marist 28-12 on Saturday.

Leo Hayes may only be 10-yearsold but he is already turning heads in the fighting world after coming away with a win in his first competitive boxing fight. Leo was one of the first children to enrol at Dixon’s Boxing and, after three years of training, was finally able to step into the ring for his first competitive fight, walking away with a win. The 10-year-old Birchwood School student is visibly passionate about the sport, training every week to improve his skills. Trainer Randall Dixon says he’s an exceptional fighter and could go on to box for New Zealand if it’s the path he chooses. Randall says Leo holds both skill and discipline; something that some fighters lack. “I would’ve put him out into a fight sooner, but you can’t until they’re 10-years-old, he’s been hounding me since he started,” Randall says. “He’s been ready for a year or so now.” Randall says Leo is very disciplined. “He’s tough and he’s very deter-
mined, but not only that, he’s skilled.” Leo says stepping into the ring in front of hundreds of people was a little nerve racking but he’s keen to do it again as soon as possible. “There were so many people watching, and I didn’t know this kid or his skills.” He says he was pretty tired after fighting three 90 second rounds against his Rangiora competitor, so much so that he didn’t realise he had won even after his hand was held in the air, signalling triumph. “They held my hand up and it just fell back down, I didn’t even know I’d won.” Leo’s mum Keri says she was a ball of nerves watching him walk into the ring for the first time. “When he first went up, I almost cried,” she says. However, she is proud that Leo’s hard-work and determination paid off. Leo, also a rugby player for Stoke, is eager to see where his fighting career takes him. “He’s exceptional,” Randall says, “He will fight for New Zealand guaranteed, if that’s where he wants to go.”
Nelson Men’s last quarter success FCL Nelson Men’s have pulled off a massive fourth-quarter effort to beat Jacks OPD 46-43 in the NBS Premier Netball Competition. The men held the women to just seven points in the final 15 minutes, to take their first lead of the game with less than two minutes
