Exporters ‘held at ransom’ Jenny Nicholson
Local exporters say they will be forced to reduce their crop size if shipping delays and cost increases continue. Covid-19 has meant local export companies have faced on-going challenges getting produce shipped overseas. One exporter, who asked not to be named, says some shipping companies are asking for considerably more money to bring empty containers into New Zealand ports. “We are held at ransom to pay what they ask, or we don’t get the empty containers.” He says it was a very tough year last year with both shortage of shipping containers and disruption to shipping schedules. While he is quietly Julian Raine hopeful they will get through this season, realistically he is expecting to run into shortages which could be extreme. Boysenberries New Zealand managing director, Julian Raine, says it is definitely not business as usual. “There has been a massive change in how ships load and discharge their freight,” he says. While ships are still getting into ports, space is limited. “Where we may want 10 containers, we can only get two.” It is not only the lack of space causing difficulties, what did take a month, now takes two as shipping routes are rearranged. “There are times that containers go to a transit point and sit there for a month,” he says.

Stranded in Oz, Kiwi cops sail home Kate Russell It started off as a joke. With the trans-Tasman bubble closed, Kiwis Kate and Con Barrell were stranded in Australia late last year, with no way to get home. “I joked to Con, ‘the only way we are going to get home is by boat’ - so that’s what we did,” Kate says. Thus, an epic ten-day mission home to Nelson on a Sunseeker Manhattan 66 was born.
And not only did the husband-and-wife duo sail themselves back to their loved ones, but they also brought five other Kiwis with them. Born and bred Nelsonian Kate and ex-All Black Con, who hails from the Far North and Christchurch, lived on the Gold Coast for 12 years where they were both in the police force. “A couple of times a year I would come back to Nelson to see family, but when the borders shut

down again, we thought ‘if this is the way of the world, we’d rather be home’.” They couldn’t fly back and go on MIQ waiting lists due to Kate’s assistance dog Boots. “So, within a week we were
looking at boats and that was it.” Con, who was a member of the All Blacks in 1996 and 1997, says he was “born and bred” with boats, however, it was foreign territory for Kate. “It was a mammoth task, but we went and got licensed and spoke to every expert we possibly could.” They put a crew together, which consisted of some “pretty handy” people.

“I put a post up on a bunch of trans-Tasman groups for Kiwis stuck in Australia to see who would be keen to join us and we got flooded with people desperate to get home,” Kate says. “There was one guy who had tried nine times to get into MIQ and one who hadn’t seen his wife and children for months on end.” They soon put together the perfect team. “We had a diesel mechanic and a guy who had done the crossing over a dozen times. We wanted people who knew what to do if things went wrong,” Kate says. “We were all strangers from all different walks of life, but we all had one common goal of wanting to get home.” After some meticulous planning, they set sail on 14 December and Kate describes the first 24 hours

All the booze came out of the fridge and there were days you couldn’t even stand. “But we had a couple of days where it was just like glass and the sunrises and sunsets were next level.” The only setback was a water leak in one of the main engines
halfway into the journey, which they had to travel four days with. “We had 1000 litres of water to last us the trip so in the end it was wet-wipe showers and the boys had to do what they had to do off the back of the boat.” Kate says nine-year-old Boots handled the journey like a true sailor. “She wasn’t too impressed at the start, but after she settled in, she
handled it like a boss.” They arrived in Opua on 22 December for customs clearance and two days of quarantine. “We had to be on the boat for ten days minimum and seven of those - 168 hours - had to be outside of New Zealand territorial waters,” Kate says. Kate and Con made it to Nelson on Boxing Day, and with all the family tracking their progress it was a memorable reunion. “They stood up on Princes Drive with the binoculars and the drones. The emotion was pretty intense as we came through The Cut.” Kate says they are now in “decompressing” mode and plan to enjoy the moment. And would she do it again? “No.” she says. “I’d do it on a cruise ship though. We knew it would be hard, but we did it.”

Exporters ‘held at ransom’ as shipping woes hit from page 1 Julian says some shipping companies now refuse to go to certain ports. “As with airlines, ships operate through hubs. Where a certain ship would use a particular hub, that is changing as well.” Pricing has in some instances quadrupled. For local businesses, the best-case scenario with the price increases is that their customer takes on the increase. “Those cases are few and far between,” Julian says. Most often, the price increase is equally absorbed by both the New Zealand company and their customer. At times, the New Zealand exporter must cover all the increased costs, which leads to growers getting significantly lower prices. In the year to July 2021 there was a dramatic 600 per cent increase in container freight prices leaving small exporters struggling to get their goods to international markets. Julian says produce moving more slowly around the world, and in some cases not being shipped at all, creates shortages. While it may seem favourable to the New Zealand public when produce isn’t shipped and remains in New Zealand,
exporters are concerned with rising shipping prices out of port Nelson. the resulting lowered costs are only temporary. “It’s wishful thinking that produce staying in the country will mean cheaper fruit and vegetables,” Julian says. “That is not always best in the mid and long term.” He says if growers are not making money, they will stop growing. Tomatoes that were not able to be shipped last year led to a glut in the New Zealand market. Julian says it looked like the customer won, but that was only temporary. In September a Port Nelson spokesperson said shipping volatility would continue to impact global shipping for the next 12 to 18 months and freight costs would remain high. In the long term, as congestion
levels ease, record high freight costs should reduce. However, industry experts suggest this may not happen for another two years. Boxman Containers Nelson owner and manager Mat Charles says supply of containers is tight everywhere in the world. Boxman Containers supply domestic storage and Mat says they have had increased business as the demand for local storage grows. He says because importers know the supply chain can be a nightmare, they are holding more stock than pre-covid. “The ‘just in time’ theory has been replaced by ‘just in case,’” Mat says. “If they can bring it into the country they will.”

Covid-19: Life at Red NEWS Kate Russell
The Omicron variant of Covid-19 has arrived in the region with the country moving into the red traffic light setting on Sunday night. As of Monday, there were 13 active cases in the Nelson Tasman region - 12 confirmed and one probable. On Friday, nine cases of Covid-19 were confirmed in Motueka, all reported as being in one household. On Sunday those cases were confirmed as being the Omicron variant. They attended a wedding in Auckland on the weekend
of 15 January along with a funeral, an amusement park, and the Sky Tower in the following days. Nelson Marlborough Health’s medical officer of health, Dr Stephen Bridgman, says while there is no evidence of local community transmission from testing over the weekend, they are keen to see strong testing numbers this week to help stamp out the local outbreak. Testing numbers across Nelson and Marlborough over the weekend reached 449 with 277 on Sunday, and 172 on Saturday. “The team, mobilised by Nel-
son Bays Primary Health Organisation and general practices, were able to respond well to the testing demand over the weekend,” says Stephen. Over the weekend 2001 adult vaccines and 781 paediatric doses were given across Nelson and Marlborough. The region now has 96 per cent partially vaccinated and 94 per cent fully vaccinated and 64 per cent of those eligible for booster dose have received one. Red is the most restrictive traffic light setting, but domestic travel can continue. In red, face coverings are
mandatory when travelling on public transport, in retail, and to an extent in education. Public facilities and retail outlets are open, with capacity limits. Schools and kura will remain open under the Red traffic light setting. The largest change at the Red settings is that when school resumes over the coming days, it will be compulsory for students Year 4 and above, as well as staff to wear face masks whilst indoors, in close contact with others and on buses. Up-to-date information can be found at health.govt.nz/
Main Rd Stoke roadworks to continue into year The current traffic management of roadworks on Main Road Stoke related to the Saxton Creek upgrade will remain the same until April this year. Nelson City Council group manager infrastructure Alec Louverdis says at that time traffic management will shift to the other side of Main Road Stoke as work progresses towards the sea. The entire Saxton Creek upgrade is now scheduled for completion by July 2023. “We appreciate everyone’s patience while this work takes place,” Alec says. “Once completed the impacts of weather events will be managed more effectively to reduce the devastating effects of flooding that occurred in 2011 and 2013.”

Theatre show postponed: Nelson Youth Theatre Company has been forced to postpone their latest show Into The Woods. The show was due to hit the stage today but is unable to run under the red level of Covid-19 restrictions. Director Richard Carruthers says they are hoping to put the show in during the Easter season or mid-year. “We’ve been forced to postpone until such time as the theatre is able to reopen and the theatre going public feel safe enough to go out to see shows again... really it all depends on what happens with the virus,” he says. No candidate for Nelson: National Party leader Chris Luxon says the National party doesn’t currently have anyone in mind to put up as a candidate for Nelson. The position has been vacant after long-standing MP Nick Smith retired in 2020. “I’m not aware of anyone in Nelson as yet,” Chris says. “I can guarantee we will find a really great candidate. It’s too early in the process for National to put up a candidate for Nelson.” He says National want to ensure they have good community minded people who want to serve the community, be part of it and advocate very strongly for it. It is expected that the process to select a candidate will begin later this year. String of events cancelled: Opera in the Park has been cancelled following a move to Red under the Covid-19 Protection Framework. Nelson City Council, who run the event, say the decision was difficult to make. Nelson Buskers Festival, which was to be held at Founders Heritage Park this weekend, has also been cancelled following discussions between buskers and Council. The Kai Festival 2022, which was due to be held on Monday, 7 February has also been cancelled along with the remaining Summer Movies Al Fresco.

RSA urges action on Stoke Hall design print Kate Russell
Despite a cost blowout to $4.3m, the Nelson RSA is urging the city council to make haste on major earthquake repairs to the Stoke Memorial Hall. The hall on Main Road Stoke was built as a ‘living World War II memorial’ in 1952 and has been used by many groups and organisations over the years. However, it was closed in March 2020 after it was assessed as having a 17 per cent rating against the New Building Standard, compared to a previous assessment of 24 per cent in 2014. It was anticipated it would cost $2m to bring the building up to standard, with the council approving a recommendation to allocate $1.2m of capital expenditure towards the project. But after receiving new engineering advice, input from the contractor, and costings from a quantity surveyor, the cost has now more than doubled and the council has “paused” the project to “allow time to consider the best option”. “To give an idea of the extent

of the work that needs to be carried out, nearly every part of the building from the hall’s timber floor to the roof would need to be removed and replaced for earthquake strengthening to go ahead,” says group manager community services, Andrew White. This means the project is now essentially a rebuild. “This would increase the seismic strength of the building to 67 per cent of the standards set for a building of this type.” Andrew says they need to assess the demand for a build-
ing at the site, and whether a new building might be an appropriate alternative. “A new business case will review overall demand for usage and consider strengthening against other options. This means the budget allocated for strengthening in 2022/23 would be deferred to a later year.” Nelson RSA committee member Ian Barker, who has lived in Stoke since 1980, would like to see the council move swiftly on the project. He says the RSA strongly advocates for the strengthening of the hall to “respect
the reasons for its existence”. “When you look at how it came into being, it was because the community got behind it, raising money and building it as volunteers.” Ian says they would support a rebuild as long the façade is maintained. “That is the number one thing. That is where we remember those soldiers who didn’t come back. “The same thing happened in Kaikōura and the community got behind it. We say, if it can be done in Kaikōura then surely we can do it in Nelson.”

Health board hoping to recruit past nurses Jenny Nicholson Reporter
jennifer@waimeaweekly.co.nz
The hospital corridors may be a bit busier this week with 19 new nurses joining the Nelson Marlborough District Hospital Board (NMDHB). Bailee Spriggs and Emma Gordon graduated in December last year from NMIT and both started work at Nelson Hospital two days after they received their results. With just 30 in their class, 25 have taken up positions with the NMDHB. Nineteen of the new graduates start work this week, after a week of orientation last week. The other six started in December. After leaving school, Bailee studied law and politics at university but says ‘law didn’t do it for me.’ She wanted to do something helping people and has found that with nursing. While she is caring for others, she is thankful for the supportive team environment she’s working in, and the support offered to new graduates. NMDHB associate director of nursing for workforce development, Jodie Miller, says new nurses have someone work alongside them for at least the first 16 days. They also have a team to help

For Bailee, the biggest surprise so far has been experiencing the ‘imposter syndrome’ - doubting your abilities, for the first few weeks on the ward. “At first I was going to ask a nurse to sign out Panadol,” Bailee says.
Emma Gordon says she went into nursing straight from school. She also wanted to help people and is finding nursing is fulfilling that
need. With the class graduating from NMIT last year being one of the smallest they have had, there are still positions to fill and

management is hoping to recruit those who have nursed in the past. Jodie returned to nursing after about 6 years and is hoping others will do the same. “If you have been out for under five years it’s a straightforward process,” Jodie says. “If it’s over five years it is still doable.” For those who have been out of nursing for over five years, a 12 week return to nursing course is held at NMIT with the majority of that time spent in clinical practice. “Those who have been out of nursing for a while can bring life experience.” Meanwhile, Jodie says they are putting things in place to encourage nurses to love and stay in nursing. NMDHB director of nursing and midwifery, Sandy McLean-Cooper, says they want our New Zealand nurses back and a campaign is being run overseas to call them home. “There is a smooth pathway through MIQ for them.” Sandy says it is good for nurses from small district health boards to experience working in larger hospitals. They can bring back valuable learning from their time overseas, but Sandy says the important thing is that they do come back.

In summary, it said that use of the airstrip was permitted under earlier council rules and regulations, but it lost that status once they were supplanted by updated environmental management tools, including the Tasman Resource Management Plan. Judge Brian Dwyer and Environment Commissioner David Bunting said in the decision that since the late 1990s or early 2000s there has been a significant change in use of the airstrip, namely a regular and increasing volume of helicopter traffic. The head of one commercial helicopter operation, with a long history of aviation tourism in Awaroa, said the decision came out-of-the-blue. Helicopters Nelson chief executive, Pete Darling, said a letter from the council a few weeks ago was the first he knew about what was happening. He said the decision stood to impact a decent portion of the company’s business. Darling said it was frustrating to be directly affected by a decision when he was effectively a third party in the matter, and when helicopter operations in the area must follow stringent local aviation procedures.
Happy New Year! Welcome to 2022 – I hope you were all able to get a decent break and enjoy time with friends and family. I was stoked to get lots of swims at Tahunanui beach with Phoebe the Labrador, and am doing my best to sneak more swims in between meetings!
“We seem to be taking the brunt of this, and it makes no sense. It’s really disappointing that a decision has been made without our input.” Darling says it was also disappointing that efforts by the affected parties to talk with the council have so far gone unheeded. “We’d like to know what they’re trying to achieve.” The council said, at the heart of the matter was conflict around the rights of existing residents and those wanting to run businesses on land adjoining a national park. The council’s environment group manager, Dennis Bush-King, said the interim decision established a benchmark for existing use rights, but it also provided room for further discussion. He said the letter it was required to send out had given rise to further questions, including from some helicopter operators. “There was a suggestion the council didn’t accept existing use rights - we know there’s been an airfield at Awaroa for many years, but what we were saying was that the nature of the use had exceeded the historical use rights. “The court has now given us an
indication as to what it believes is acceptable and therefore the residents need to accept that is the threshold the airfield can work to.” Wellington architect Zac Athfield was the sole director and shareholder of Awaroa Aerodrome Ltd, and a director of the New Zealand Settlement Co Ltd which owned property adjoining the airstrip. He said he and other respondents were unsure as to whether the court’s decision was a fair and correct one, and they aimed to seek further clarity from the council. “So far, we understand the court has asked the council to consult with relevant owners in order to understand and frame an enforcement order that is workable in relation to helicopters, given they have not been proven to have existing use rights. “I think the court was seeking that any use that could not prove existing use, or that was not lawful by other means, should either obtain resource consent or cease use.” He said that he and others doubted that what amounted to a banning of helicopters would be a satisfactory outcome for Awaroa residents or businesses that serve the community. Zac said the respondents faced legal bills well in excess of $100,000 which was likely to be shared proportionately among landowners who “all enjoy the benefit of varying types of landing rights consented by the council over various years from 1973 to 2008”. A decision on court costs was reserved.

NBS ups support for free swimming lessons Jenny Nicholson Reporter
jennifer@waimeaweekly.co.nz
Sophie Bogle didn’t just learn strokes and breathing during her swimming lessons, she grew in confidence. Sophie was one of the recipients of the Richmond Aquatic Centre’s free swimming lessons. Her mother Michelle Hutton says Sophie experiences a lot of anxiety and low self-esteem and the instructors’ approach helped Sophie hugely. “It helped with her anxiety and gave her confidence with others and in a group setting,” Michelle says. “The instructor was very, very good and very friendly.” Michelle says Sophie went from ‘I’m not good at it’ to ‘Did I do good Mum?’ The Richmond Aquatic Centre marketing coordinator Crystal Gaiger says she passionate about water safety for local children. So, she has appreciated the partnership with NBS which has provided lessons for those who would otherwise not be able to afford them. “Last year I approached them and said, ‘I know it’s a big ask but can we have more,” Crystal says. Last week she had confirmation
Richmond Aquatic Centre Crystal Gaiger and Patsy Berriman together with Kori the Penguin and NBS’s Howie Timms are celebrating swimming lessons being made available to children in the region. Photo: Jenny Nicholson. that they would raise their sponsorship from 140 to 200 children this year. “That is 2,400 swimming lessons.” She says she is very excited about the increase. “It’s perfect timing. There have been so many drownings in New Zealand this year. Child education on water safety is important.” NBS general manager commercial and marketing Howie Timms says providing sponsorship for children’s swimming lessons removes barriers so is a good fit for them. Crystal is aware that many families cannot afford lessons, and that Covid-19 has put even more
pressure on some family budgets. Priority is given to applicants who have a community services card. “That lets us know they fall in the lower income threshold,” Crystal says. The lessons will be split into two blocks, with one group running from January to April and the other 100 from April to July. Each week of the lesson has a focus on water safety, including ‘save yourself ’ and ‘helping others.’ Lessons are for children aged 5 to 13 years of age. Applications are now open and can be made online at www.clmnz.co.nz

Lorna makes bags of money for hospice Jenny Nicholson When Lorna Palmer started making alternatives to plastic bags, she had no idea she would reach 1000 bags. Lorna makes the reusable bags to sell at the Hospice Shop in Nelson. Hospice communications coordinator Rachel Moffit says reaching 1000 bags is a huge milestone for a very loyal volunteer. A former tailor and dressmak-
er, she takes about an hour to complete a bag and can make five or six some days. “I cut them all out together, then sew them together another time. It’s a lot of material.” She has more recently added sewing masks to her busy days, saying they take a similar amount of time because although they are small, they are fiddly to make. She has volunteered at the shop for 19 years and hopes to make
it to 20. In the past she worked at both Vinney’s and the Hospice Shop but found working in both a little much. “Sometimes I do go home and put my feet up, the shop can be quite busy.” Lorna donates the bags to be sold for $5. “She also crafts aprons and tea cozies to sell in the shop - a talented lady and a very lucky charity shop,” says Rachel.

Opinion Good on you R Evans for writing in about the sorry state of these areas, the roundabouts near Mitre 10 and the airport in particular. Last week I picked up my 2 young granddaughters (they have just turned 6 and 8) from the airport and they both commented on how ugly and weedy these areas are. What could I say? I’m in total agreement with them. The girls live in Dunedin where far more effort is made by the council and Waka Kotahi. Roundabouts and traffic islands are beautifully planted and well maintained. I notice this every time I go to Dunedin (at least 4 times a year). Can something please be done to improve this situation and give visitors a much more positive experience when they fly into Nelson. Locals, I’m sure, will appreciate it too. M Palmer
the weeds are over one metre tall & must be a distraction to motorists. Nelson / Tasman is such a beautiful area but what first impression do these roundabouts give to tourists or holiday makers from other parts of New Zealand. I know it’s not the council’s problem but surely, they could do something to remedy this eyesore. They spend thousands of dollars with amenities for freedom campers for not much return, so surely, they can help keep our area beautiful, like it used to be. When you go down to Christchurch you don’t see weeds like this growing in the islands so why should we have to put up with it. I realize most people just drive past these islands & don’t even worry about what they look like, but unfortunately some of us still do & are proud of where we live. Regards Wayne
After reading the letter to the editor from R Evans about the state of the islands & roundabouts around the Nelson & Tasman district I have to agree 100% with what they are saying about the condition & the weeds growing in these islands. Some of

We do need one nationwide standard for recording sunshine hours. Currently we have at least two. Nelson Airport has the traditional glass bulb, whereas the Tasman one at Richmond has the new automated sunshine recorder. Evidence is the automated recorders are a little less sensitive to what bright sunshine is, and therefore record higher hours than the glass bulb recorders. I think that's why Whakatane suddenly appeared in the stakes in recent years - they got an automated recorder. The Nelson Airport glass bulb recorder measured not much over 2,300 hours of sun in 2021. Dennis Goodman

Nelson Summer Events update New Zealand has moved to Red under the COVID-19 Protection Framework (CPF), therefore, Nelson City Council has made the difficult decision to cancel some of our upcoming Summer Events due to new capacity restrictions. February’s Opera in the Park will not take place this year. Council staff are now looking at whether it is feasible to postpone until February 2023. The Buskers Festival on 28-31 January, which was to be held at Founders Heritage Park this weekend, has been cancelled following discussions between buskers and Council. The Kai Festival, which was due to be held on Monday 7 February has also been cancelled. The remaining Summer Movies Al Fresco have also been cancelled. Council staff are very sad that these events are unable to go ahead. Other events that are taking place later in the year will be assessed on a case-by-case basis and the CPF rules that are in place closer to the time.

Big party leaves small footprint with waste diverted The Netsky event held at Trafalgar Park showed festival-goers know how to have a good time as well as care for the environment, with nearly 90% of event waste diverted from landfill. Community Leisure Management Trafalgar Centre Manager Mark Mekalick, who leads the team responsible for managing the venue for Nelson City Council, says the results show people want to do the right thing when it comes to recycling. “People are really good at choosing to recycle or compost when they have those options,” says Mark. “By being mindful about the products sold on site, we’re able to sort waste after events and ensure the vast majority is recycled or composted. I think we can continue to divert even more waste from landfill for future events.” Waste minimisation has increasingly become business as usual at Nelson events, with flagship events at the Trafalgar Centre seeing a steady decrease in waste, going from 66% waste diversion from Bay Dreams in 2020, to 79% in 2021, followed by 89% at this year’s electronic music event.
“We’re incredibly proud the Trafalgar venue can hold big events that are light on the environment,” says Mark. Community and Recreation Committee Chair Councillor Tim Skinner says the Netsky event has shown what’s possible in terms of diverting waste. “It’s great to see our venues, event organisers, and the patrons who attend events in Nelson working together to reduce waste and make these events more environmentally sustainable. “This should inspire all event organisers to think about waste and how they can make a positive difference.” Council will be holding another waste minimisation workshop in autumn to help event organisers reduce waste.

'Innovating Streets for People – Nelson South' project recognised again as a leading example
A new arts strategy for Nelson
The community road safety project has earned Nelson City Council the Traffic Institute of New Zealand’s (Trafinz) Sustainability Leadership Award.
Council was successful in attracting funding of $30,000 to support the strategy from Creative New Zealand. It has been more than 12 years since the city developed an arts strategy. This new strategy will guide innovation and creation in the city over the coming decade and help Nelson realise the full potential of the creative sector and the economic and community wellbeing outcomes that it supports. A working group has been appointed to guide the development of the strategy, which is being chaired by Deputy Mayor Judene Edgar. Other members of the group are Councillor Pete Rainey and Councillor Tim Skinner. The work will be supported by local strategy firm OD&Co with lead facilitators Johny O’Donnell and Ali Boswijk. “This is an opportunity for Nelson to truly make its mark and develop a future focused arts strategy that attracts investment and support from across the community,” says Judene Edgar, the Arts Strategy Working Group Chair. “COVID-19 has been really tough on the creative sector, and unless we focus on the arts, we risk losing more of the great talent we have here. This strategy is about realising the opportunity we have before us and making the most of it as a city.” The public will be invited to participate in this process early in early 2022.
The award is one of two top awards granted by Trafinz to organisations, individuals or communities that make an outstanding contribution to transportation safety and sustainability leadership in New Zealand. Trafinz Vice President John Goettler praised the project for being a positive example of how to promote mode shift in communities. “People, and society as a whole, must aim to shift travel modes for the health of their communities and the environments they live in. “This initiative is doing it for Nelson, while being a model for local authorities throughout New Zealand, as well as providing a practical example of how to be responsive to communities, residents and users.” Another Council project, 'Pedalling Equity', a bike library trial for Nelson Intermediate School students, was also acknowledged by Trafinz. The project received a Certificate of Merit for Sustainability, with Trafinz commending the project for enabling people to experience what it means to ride and be a part of their own community. “This bike library trial is a fantastic transportation sustainability initiative, with nationwide repeatability that must be commended for its grassroots leadership towards a healthy and sustainable transportation future.” Nelson City Council Manager of Transport and Solid Waste and member of the 'Innovating Streets for People' project, Marg Parfitt, said it's great to see the team’s efforts receive national recognition. “This project has not been easy, and like many places around New Zealand trialling this type of intervention, it was subject to some abuse and vandalism. “However, steadfast leadership from Council and community champions enabled the team to press on, and the data is now proving projects like this work. “These roads in Nelson South now have safe and appropriate speeds and less rat-running through-traffic, and residents are reclaiming their neighbourhood as a place for people first and cars second." The data collected from the project has proven useful as Council begins exploring ways to prioritise pedestrian activity in the city centre with the recent approval of 'Te Ara ō Whakatū', the City Centre Spatial Plan. The Trafinz award continues a successful run for Council in being recognised by the transportation sector as a leader in sustainable and innovative traffic solutions. The 'Innovating Streets for People – Nelson South' project was also recognised earlier this year with the 3M Traffic Safety Innovation Award for 2021 at the Engineering NZ Transportation Group’s annual conference in Auckland. The premier road safety award recognises exemplary innovation and effectiveness in saving lives and preventing injuries on roads.

Don’t wait till it’s too late to conserve water With a warmer than average summer predicted for Nelson, it’s important to start thinking now about ways we can conserve water. The earlier we begin conserving, the longer we may have before water restrictions are needed. Nelson City Council has a list of easy water saving tips that we can all use to help conserve water. Remember, every drop helps. • Put a bowl in the sink when washing your vegetables, then reuse the water on your garden • Choose drought-tolerant trees and plants for your garden • Avoid watering your garden or crops during the heat of the day • Compost mulch around trees and shrubs • Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth • Wash the car using a bucket rather than a hose • Stick to shorter showers • Put a bottle full of water in your toilet cistern to reduce flush water • Fix any dripping taps For a handy printout of these tips, go to: nelson.govt.nz/water-conservation-1282

Popular art classes return in mid-February
Nelson
The Seasons Art Class is a brilliant way to learn new skills in 2022, with guidance and tuition in the basic techniques, to create beautiful pieces of art. These fabulous 14-week courses are suitable for beginners to intermediate level. The business has been locally owned and operated by Heiko and Susanne Rieber since July last year, and their courses are proving popular with locals. “We are pleased to be recommencing our classes in the second week of February,” says Susanne. “It’s all about connecting people, who may be shy at the beginning, but then they improve a lot and start to feel more confident, which is a real pleasure to see,” she says. “Some people really don’t believe in themselves. They think – I would really love to do that, but I can’t really paint, but prove themselves wrong, and when we have an exhibition at the end of their course, their friends and family are amazed at what they have achieved.” The Seasons Art Class has been running in the UK for 12 years and has been offered in New Zealand for the past two years. “There are around 1520 branches in the North Island and Nelson is the only branch in the South Island,” says Heiko. “We employ a local tutor, Lee Blake, who takes care of the curriculum and provides the guided lessons. Lee has worked in Berlin, she’s lived in Australia and has taught in Fiji. So, she’s seen a lot, is very good with people, and is very encouraging for beginners. Lee has a calm, approachable manner and they’re really happy to have her.” The courses start with pencil sketches, then moves onto oil pastels, watercolours and acrylics . “We have a mixed group for beginners and returnees, who get different projects to work on and improve on their skills.” Susanne says Lee gives everyone time and attention, and their classes are all about having fun and relaxing together. “Our next courses start on Tuesday, 15 February from 6pm to 9pm, and on Wednesday 16 February from 9.30am to 12.30pm.” All materials are provided for the course – you can just come and start painting! At the final exhibition, friends and family are invited to come along, food is shared and everyone has a great time. To enrol in an upcoming course, visit www.seasonsart-tasman-nelson.com.

Longstanding business that cares about the community Located at our beautiful port, Trafalgar Painting Ltd is a company which enjoys giving back to the community. Locally owned and operated, the longstanding business offers a diverse range of services to Nelson’s marine, industrial and commercial sectors. Trafalgar Painting is co-owned by Joe Szentpeteri (Managing Director), Mark Sellars, and Nathan Towns, who employ a skilled and diverse team of staff as well as unskilled labourers who receive on-the-job training. Joe is proud to have members of his family working alongside him in the business. “My wife Raewyn is the administration manager, and my daughter Jessica is the Health and Safety Officer.” When Joe and his family returned to Nelson over 20 years ago, he says they had ‘no money,’ ‘were living on the breadline,’ and ‘relied on help from the community’ to get them through the formative years. “Our children went to Victory School; we couldn’t afford to pay school fees; it was a tough time,” says Joe. “But as the years progressed, Trafalgar Painting took off, so we have been able to give back and put a lot of sponsorship in place and have done lots of things like painting netball courts for free for Hampden Street School.” Joe says they have also paid to have basketball and netball hoops replaced; things like that. “So, for me, the rewarding thing about being locally owned and operated is being able to give back to the community.” In case you haven’t noticed, Trafalgar Painting has a whole new look, having won a $15,000 dollar grant from Z Fuel after entering a competition to win a business makeover. “It’s been great; we were able to completely rebrand our vehicles and signage and buy new tee-shirts.” Drawing on 30 plus years’ experience in the painting industry and 19 years in asbestos abatement work, Trafalgar Painting’s dedicated team of 25 aim to leave a positive, lasting impression with its clients. “We are the main contractors to the marine division at Port Nelson for companies like Talleys and Sealord; we look after their vessels and their land-based stuff,” says Joe. “The other half of our business is asbestos removal through the commercial, industrial and residential sectors. Our slogan is: ‘We are saving lives one job at a time.’"

William eyes world cup has enjoyed a stellar run, which saw him compete at the junior world championships in Hungary and win the 2019 national championships. “Tristar has pushed me to my absolute limits.” William’s rise has been halted, as gymnastics has not escaped the effects of Covid-19, with a number of international competitions cancelled in 2020. “I was selected to be a part of the senior men’s national team for 2020, but all of our competitions, as well as most of our training, was suspended.” However, 2021 was a much more memorable period for the young athlete. “It was a spectacular year with it being my first year competing in the senior men’s division as well as still being a part of the national team.”

ball. Whichever was the case, Eban fell, was rendered unconscious and failed to recover. The Upper Moutere team was most distressed at the fatality and contributed to the cost of a gravestone for the young player.

Nelson athletes shine in Southland
Jonty Dine Our future stars of the track and field were showcased at the illustrious Colgate Games earlier this month, with one Nelson athlete making history. Ludvig Persson claimed three gold medals in Invercargill to go with the three he picked up at the North Island games in Wellington. Ludvig’s double triple consisted of gold in the grade ten discus, high jump, and shot put, a feat not achieved in the game’s history. Molly McManus also brought home double gold as she won the grade 13 80m hurdles at both events. Rounding out the gold medals for Athletics Nelson was Josephine Tappenden with first place in the grade 14 400m.
It was a lucrative games for the club as the totalled 16 medals, three silvers and four bronze to go with the nine golds. Among them were Mia and Bella Cain-Townley in the 1500m, Nataliah McNaughton in the discus, Alanna Sim in the 1200m walk, high jumpers Elle and Theo Beever. Athletics Nelson children’s committee member Brian McManus says the young athletes punched well above their weight. “We feel pretty good as we were easily one of the smallest clubs at both events.” He says while podium finishes aren’t the club’s primary goal, it is great recognition of the region’s potential. “Our focus is more on the development and improvement of all our athletes.”
While they may not be advancing any further, the Nelson Griffins ended its Hawke Cup campaign in style with an outright win over Buller at Saxton Oval thanks in large part to a stunning performance by Jonty Raxworthy. Raxworthy claimed the sensational match figures of 10/59, taking a five-wicket bag in both innings. On a flat hard deck, Raxworthy produced plenty of seam movement as he tore through the Buller batsmen. Of his ten dismissals, eight were either LBW or clean bowled. “It was an absolute blast and the was doing heaps which was good.” Jonty says he hopes to carry his form back to club cricket with ACOB as he aims to crack the Central Districts ‘A’ side in 2022 with an eye on a possible black cap in his future. “That’s the dream, to make it to that level.” Meanwhile, in local T20 action, Car Company Stoke/Nayland sent a timely reminder of its talents with an emphatic ninewicket win over Nelson College on Saturday. Chasing what appeared a competitive total, Stoke cruised to victory in the 18th over with
Darius Skeaping and Sean Neal finishing unbeaten on 78 and 60 respectively. Opener Sam John got college off to a solid start as he made 43 from 30 while Flynn Day chipped in with 27 in the middle order. Dylan Eginton took 3/32 off his four overs as Nelson reached 147/8. However, it proved not nearly enough with Skeaping blasting ten boundaries and two sixes in his dominant 59-ball innings. Elsewhere, NBS Athletic College Old Boys remains undefeated on the back of another superb performance from David Zohrab. His 71 from 54 set ACOB up
to score 166/6 against Waimea Toi Toi United, Amit Dhiman restricting the damage with figures of 4/23. Despite a 41-run partnership between Daniel Endersby and Ryan Flowers, WTTU fell 40 runs shy. The final match of the round saw Wakatu edge Taylors Contracting Wanderers Motueka by five wickets at Victory Square. Batting first, Wanderers struggled to 137/7 after Ryan Hooper claimed the prized scalp of Joseph O’Connor for a duck. Solid contributions from the Wakatu top order ensured a comfortable chase, as the hosts reached 138/5 with seven balls to spare.
