Smith joins mayoral race ANDREW BOARD Nelson’s mayoral race is heating up, with former MP Nick Smith confirming that he will stand for the position. Smith joins current councillors

Matt Lawrey, Tim Skinner, Rohan O’Neill-Stevens and former councillor Kerry Neal, as well as Richard Osmaston who is also standing for mayor in five other regions. Smith says he wants to lead the

city in a “positive new direction”. “I am standing for mayor because I love Nelson and worry that our council has lost its way. I’m offering my governance experience and my energy to provide the city with positive new direction.”

Smith announced four weeks ago that he was considering a tilt at the city’s top job and he says that he’s decided to stand after speaking with community leaders and councillors. “The consistent message was

that the council’s problems are deep-seated, are not just about the acrimony around the council table but also a breakdown between council and its staff. I was

told the problems from the previous term have compounded over this last term. I was taken back by the seriousness of the council’s problems and the belief from some that unless there is a change in direction there is risk of commissioners having to be appointed.” He says he will stand as an independent, not aligned with the National party with which he spent more than two decades serving in parliament. “I want to be Nelson’s mayor and not a National mayor. I will commend Labour when they do good for Nelson and condemn National where their policies are bad for Nelson. I am not part of any group of council candidates as I want to be able to work collaboratively with whoever the

community elects.” He says the most important issues for the region are the Three Waters proposal, which he opposes, as well as driving a “rethink” of the proposed library development which he says is “too expensive”. Osmaston, who lives in St Arnaud, announced his candidacy in six regions over the weekend. He first stood for election as mayor of Nelson in 2013 and again in 2016 but didn’t stand in Nelson in 2019, opting to run in the Grey District. Bowater drops out: On Friday, first term councillor Yvonne Bowater joined five of her colleagues in announcing that she will not be standing for another term at Nelson City Council. So far, mayor Rachel Reese and

councillors Brian McGurk, Judene Edgar, Kate Fulton and Gaile Noonan have announced that they will not seek another term. Bowater says her decision not to stand was based on “changing family circumstances”. “Being a councillor is a full-time commitment and unless I can give 100% to the role then I don’t feel that I can re-stand,” Bowater says. She says that it’s been a privilege to serve the community and is grateful to have been given the opportunity. “I have worked hard to honour the trust that the community placed in me and have never taken this commitment lightly.” King to stand in Tasman: Tasman mayor Tim King will restand at this year’s election, he

has confirmed to Nelson Weekly. It comes as the first challenger for his job emerges, former real estate agent Mike Harvey. Tim says his first term as mayor has been “phenomenally tricky” with the Covid-19 pandemic, the government’s Three Waters proposal and cost overruns on the Waimea Community Dam. But he says the support he has had from the community has convinced him to run again. “I don’t think I could have picked a more difficult term to be mayor but I’ve been bloody lucky with the support I’ve had from this group of councillors and the community, it’s been great. Tim had 12 years as deputy mayor before being elected to the mayoralty in 2019. He says he’s never been much of a campaigner and said there wouldn’t be much of one this year either.

Teachers need respite, staffing challenge remains JOHN GERRITSEN RNZ

Schools reopen for the third term this week and principals are worried staff shortages and winter illnesses will be every bit as bad as last term. They warned that some teachers and students had been at breaking point before the two-week July holiday and would need some respite in the coming months. They also say new instructions “strongly recommending” face masks would not be as effective as a full mask mandate from the government. Top of the South Secondary Principals Association chair Richard Dykes, tumuaki of Nelson College, says staffing and ongoing disruption to learning would be the biggest challenges as schools reopened. “That disruption is becoming cumulative and what I’m hearing from schools from my region but also further afield around the South Island and New Zealand is the fear that we’ve got students who are already saying ‘look, given the amount of disruption - this is probably our most at-risk students - that’s it, I’m signing out’.”

Teachers around the country including Top of the South Secondary Principals Association chair Richard Dykes, tumuaki of Nelson College, say teachers and students are at breaking point from lack of staff and winter illness. Photo: RNZ / Samuel Rillstone. Dykes says in Term 2, schools had been averaging about 20 per cent of staff absent on any given day and teachers had been having to give up free periods to cover classes. “I think principals are really worried that we just got through to the end of term pretty much at breaking point.” “If we pick up from there and carry on at that same rate there’s a real concern among principals that the impact on our staff is going to be significant.” He says the government needed to announce as soon as possible what measures it

would take to help students pass NCEA this year and relieve the pressure on teens and teachers. Dykes says the government also needed to dial back wide-ranging changes to the school system - such as its overhaul of the NCEA qualification. The Ministry of Education has started providing masks for staff and students and last week wrote to principals saying it strongly recommended they require masks indoors for the first four weeks of the third term. Previously mask use was only strongly encouraged.

Locals reeling after ‘untenable’ rates increases MAX FRETHEY

Local Democracy Reporter

Many Nelsonians have been left reeling after seeing their rates increase to an “untenable” level. Britannia Heights resident Allan Sims lives on Princes Drive. His rates have increased by 30.56 per cent which means he will pay around $1,120 more to council than he did in the last financial year. “That’s a holiday with my grandchildren.” Sims thinks it’s unreasonable that council expects him to pay that much extra, especially in a costof-living crisis when people are struggling, like his daughter who is currently living in a caravan and renting out her home. “I got bloody angry about it… It’s untenable, it really is.” he said. “I’d much rather give it [the money] to her.” The average increase in the region’s rates was 5.4 per cent and was laid out in Nelson City Council’s Long Term Plan for 2022/23. Nelson’s rates are determined solely on land valuation with the value of the buildings on the property not being taken into account.

“The majority of value increases has stemmed from pressure on land with Nelson’s geography making it difficult to develop land at scale,” Quotable Value (QV) manager for Nelson/Marlborough Craig Russell said. “This has led to intensification with strong demand from developers for modest homes on larger, easy-to-develop sites.” Valuations performed by QV in 2021 saw the average land value in the region increase by 73 per cent. “Last year’s revaluation of Nelson properties has led to some significant changes in the distribution of rates,” council chief executive Pat Dougherty said. “Properties with higher-than-average land value increases … are paying more, and properties with a less than average increase will be paying less than the average.” However, Dougherty clarified that the changing rates do not increase council’s overall income but rather reallocate the proportion of council’s rate-based income paid by residents. But Diana Forsyth from Tāhunanui isn’t convinced and expressed her concerns and confusion about why the rates had to be

The rates for her property on Muritai St rose 20.4 per cent, which will cost Forsyth more than $500 extra for the current financial year. “I’m afraid I’m getting quite cynical about council operations,” she said. “Front up with the information.” Nelson has close to 20,000 residential ratepayers. Council figures indicate that just over half of them, about 52 per cent, have had their rates increase by more than

the average of 5.4 per cent. About 43 per cent of ratepayers saw their rates increase by less than the average, and around 5 per cent of ratepayers have seen their rates bill decrease. On July 20, council sent letters to those who have had a rates increase of 15 per cent or more, about 10 per cent of ratepayers, to explain that the increases are largely driven by national trends. “We know that these increases may represent a financial burden to our community, especial-

ly at this time of high inflation,” Dougherty said. “We have outlined, as part of our letter to ratepayers, the financial help that is available to those who may struggle to pay their rates bill.” Forsyth agrees that the increase is a financial burden which hasn’t been made easier by rising costs. “I just don’t know how we’re going to be able to pay it,” she said. “We’re really going to have to make some fundamental changes to find that money.” And the assistance that’s available, such as the rates rebate scheme, doesn’t do much to make the hike more palatable for Sims. “Why should people have to go cap-in-hand to the council to seek a reduction?” Council’s rating policy will be considered as part of the next Long Term Plan, Dougherty said. “But every rating policy has its own advantages and disadvantages.” The current rates came into effect on 1 July 2022.

Driver covered in burrito after crash TRACY NEAL

Open Justice Reporter

Ross Coeland admits he’d been drinking before he got behind the wheel of a car, but says it was the burrito he was eating, rather than the beers he’d consumed that caused him to slam into a line of traffic on Whakatu Drive. The police said he failed to see the car ahead because of how intoxicated he was. The 65-year-old had grabbed a

burrito on his way home from town on a wintry afternoon in early June. While driving south to Richmond on Whakatu Drive he was distracted enough by his food to not see the car ahead. He told police he had been drinking, and was subsequently charged with driving with excess breath alcohol for a third or subsequent time. His most recent conviction was in July 2017. Coeland admitted the recent charge when he appeared brief-

ly in the Nelson District Court on Monday. He’d been found on June 2 to have been driving while more than three times the legal limit. The police summary of facts showed he had a reading of 861 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath, and that he had been drinking alcohol before picking up a burrito which he was eating as he drove. “Due to his intoxication and distraction the defendant failed

Cost of Living

In case you missed it, Finance Minister Grant Robertson announced the Labour government is taking further action to ease pressure on kiwis, by extending the reduced fuel excise and road user charges and half price public transport until 31 January 2023. This action will help ease the pressure for kiwis in the face of volatile fuel prices. This week the first of three Cost of Living payments will be processed. This payment, announced as part of Budget 2022 is for the 2.1 million people earning less than $70,000 to help with their day-to-day living costs. The Cost of Living Payment is assessed and automatically paid by Inland Revenue. The three payments will occur on 1 August, 1 September and 3 October. I’m back in Wellington this week after a three week recess from Parliament. I took a short break, then spent a busy week in Nelson, and had a week in isolation in Wellington after catching Covid-19. While in Nelson I took 11 buses over four days to get around Nelson and spoke to many people from Nelson and Richmond about what would encourage them to use public transport, walk or cycle more frequently. I also met with both Mayors and other community leaders about improvements needed to our transport network. I’m looking forward to our buses running more frequently from mid-2023 so that people in Nelson and Tasman have more transport choice.

to see a line of traffic which had slowed to a crawl,” police prosecution told the court. When he eventually noticed it, he tried to take evasive action, but it was too late. “When the defendant noticed the traffic ahead of him, he slammed his brakes on and skidded, crashing hard into the rear of the trailing vehicle.” Police said he ended up covered in food. Coeland told police he’d had a

couple of beers and was distracted by eating his burrito as he drove home. He was remanded on bail for sentencing in September, and for a pre-sentence and alcohol and drug report. O P E N

Local timber workers strike for recognition and wages SARA HOLLYMAN Workers at Nelson timber processing plant South Pine made the snap decision to strike on Monday to fight for pay that is locally competitive and will attract and retain staff at the sawmill. Around 60 E tū and FIRST Union members at South Pine demonstrated outside their Quarantine Rd site on Monday in their bid to secure a decent pay rise for the next 12 months. E- tū and FIRST Union say the company’s current offer of a 6.25 per cent increase over the next year is unacceptable in the face of extraordinarily high living costs and wage rates offered by other companies in the industry. “Over the last three years, workers’ wages have lost significant ground against other local employers and have not kept up with the pace of inflation,” says FIRST Union southern region secretary Paul Watson. “With inflation now running at 7.3 per cent, members need to see wages paid at a significantly higher level than the 6.25 per cent offered by the employer over the next 12 months.” FIRST Union delegate and machine operator at South Pine, Nick Jenkins says He has worked for the company

Those guys are being asked to train new team members who are paid almost the same rate.” E tū Organiser Garth Elliot said that many workers and experienced trades staff had left the firm to take up higher paid jobs. “The company itself has admitted

it is struggling to hire new staff,” he says. “Start rates should be at least at the new Living Wage, and we need pay parity for trades staff such as fitters, engineers and saw doctors in order to be more competitive with comparable roles at other timber processing companies.” Nick starts work at 5.30am and works through till between 4 and 4.30pm and says a typical week would see them working 55 hours+. He says a lot of the team are doing

overtime just to make ends meet and so they’re coming to work because they have no choice, but they’re just not getting what they’re worth. “We are so short staffed, if someone leaves or gets covid or something, they all do extra work but nobody gets recognised for it.” He says the strike would cause a back-up in the supply chain including local Bunnings and Mitre 10 stores which would have a flow-on effect. “No one wants this but we’re doing it as a last resort, and it’s only

over a 1.5 per cent pay rise.” A union member who wished to remain anonymous says that they didn’t feel like their loyalty to the company had been recognised. “”The market is booming. The company needs to pay workers a wage that reflects their skills and dedication,” they say. “There are some people who have been at the company for up to 20 years and barely earn above minimum wage. The current offer shows no respect, particularly for long-serving members.” Another union member who wished to remain anonymous says people are feeling very frustrated. “We feel like we’ve been given the run around. We’re the busiest we’ve ever been, and the company has done very well over the last three years. We’re working hard to meet market demand but we’re not getting recognised for it.” South Pine general manager Romon Spiers says they are disappointed in the strike action. “Obviously we’re disappointed, we’re still in the process of goodfaithed negotiations.” He says the processing plant was unable to operate on Monday due to the strike action but added they will be working together with staff to come to a resolution.

Contentious Maitai development hearing closes MAX FRETHEY,

Local Democracy Reporter

The hearing for the proposed private plan change to rezone 287 hectares in the Maitai Valley concluded on Thursday last week. The private plan change was submitted by CCKV Developments and Bayview Nelson to Nelson City Council which would see the land within Kākā Valley and along Botanical and Malvern Hills rezoned to allow for the construction of 750 new homes in the area. The Save the Maitai organisation was the signature opponent of the plan change during the hearing. The group’s counsel Sally Gepp raised concerns over the impact of the development’s construction on the ecology of the Kākā Valley saying it was largely inevitable that sediment discharge from earthworks would be flushed down the river and into the Maitai estuary. “The Maitai is fundamentally the wrong place for urban-type development,” she said. “We are dealing with a sensitive receiving environment… it’s sensitive both in terms of its biophysical characteristics – its biodiversity, its assimilative capacity

– but also because of the amenity value of these places.” Community-led environmental group Friends of the Maitai had a similar view with representative Steven Gray voicing the group’s commitment to a healthy Maitai River and sought assurances that river health would be a priority if the development went forward. “Extending urban development upstream further threatens water quality and river ecology,” he said. “We recommend that Plan Change 28 be rejected unless strict, robust, and measurable provisions are in place to protect the water quality of the Maitai River.” Many individual submitters also opposed further greenfield development over intensification and spoke of the recreational benefit the valley provided. One such submitter was Elizabeth Dooley who said further urban expansion is inconsistent with climate-related goals. “The only way for this smart little city to go is towards more intensification,” she said. “We need to live locally… and no longer be dependent on the private motor vehicle.” Dooley says she was once an ac-

“Ngāti Koata are fully involved both as owners and also through the plan provisions in the ultimate implementation of this plan change.” “Fundamentally, iwi views and concerns will be foremost in the ultimate design.” Ngāti Koata’s commercial arm, Koata Limited’s chief executive Hemi Toia reflected in his closing statement on the apparent Eurocentric perspective given by many of the hearing’s submitters. “We have heard a great deal from submitters about the history of the Maitai Valley, the recent European history. Unfortunately, the Maori history that predated the submitters’ history was conveniently ignored,” he said. “The silence on Ngāti Koata’s

right and opportunity to connect with its ancestral land, and to be involved in a housing development for Ngāti Koata families on its land, was deafening.” Toia believes a development in the Kākā Valley will provide a benefit to the iwi and the region, a benefit that Ngāti Koata has an obligation to provide. “This private plan change creates and opportunity for Ngāti Koata… to deliver an outstanding housing development for Ngāti Koata and the community of Nelson.” CCKV’s Andrew Spittal echoed Toia’s statement, saying the housing crisis has been a concern for him and he sees the development as a way to alleviate some of the pressure. “We’ve got an opportunity and an obligation to build something here for the future.” Now that the hearing is complete, the independent commissioners will deliberate and deliver their recommendations to Nelson City Council which will then make a decision on the private plan change proposal.

Bringing virtual reality to life NMIT and Uniquely Nelson have partnered to deliver an immersive experience using VR technology aimed at encouraging visitors to Nelson city businesses. Uniquely Nelson general manager Simon Duffy, says adding VR to the mix has been a game changer and will allow inner city businesses to create a glorified window-shopping experience. “We created a new website about three years ago, then introduced VR and started telling our retailers’ stories,” says Simon, “as a result we had 5 million views to the website and our membership increased significantly.” NMIT marketing manager Craig Boodee says prospective students now have the ability to virtually ‘walk around’ the campus. “Having NMIT on the Uniquely Nelson website as a

VR advert means viewers can engage with our content without any external disruptions or interruptions,” he says. “We can catch their attention in a simulated 3D world and connect with them on a deeper level than traditional formats.” It also means potential learners can get a feel for life at NMIT without stepping foot on a campus, something Craig believes is particularly useful for anyone outside the region, or the country, who may be considering tertiary study. “Because you can explore the campus virtually it creates a kind of ‘try-before-you-buy’ situation, which is great as it can be scary coming on to a campus for the first time-particularly for our international learners.” “It can also give parents some peace-of-mind being able to

‘see’ where their children are going to be and that we are a reputable education institute.” “There are many opportunities for us to embed video content and interactive options, run competitions, and showcase our students’ work and our facilities,” says Craig, “and we are looking forward to working with Simon and his team to expand our presence in the digital space.” The technical details of embedding VR content are handled by web development and digital marketing coordinator Chandra Tandukar. Chandra was a student at NMIT, graduating in 2020 in IT security management and he says young people are very comfortable in the metaverse. “They often want an experience in the digital world firstif the technology is there, they will use it to meet rather than come in face-to-face.”

Ecogirl awarded two-year Canadian scholarship JO KENT Nelson Tasman’s award-winning 16-year-old environmentalist Sophie Weenink has won a scholarship to study climate action leadership which will see her move to Canada in just a few weeks. “I will be living on campus at United World College on Vancouver Island in Canada with up to 200 students from around the world. I’m the New Zealand representative and am so lucky to have been chosen as only one person gets picked each year.” The scholarship will see Sophie study for two years on environmental science papers at two universities alongside finishing her high school subjects. She fought off competition from around the world for a place in the class of just 18 students. “The most exciting part for me is

being surrounded by other people who have a similar passion. In Nelson, youth engagement has been really hard, but I’ve mentored a few young people who reflect my own values and drive in the various campaigns I’m involved with.” Her multiple beach and river clean ups have earned her recognition from Jacinda Ardern, and she’s won several awards for her work in the community volunteering to help the environment, people and animals. “I won the Blake Inspiring Stories Impact Award last year and I’ll be delivering a speech and presenting the very same award at this year’s ceremony in Wellington just days before I fly to Canada. It’s an honour to be given a voice on so many important issues.” Sophie does a great deal of public speaking in schools and at events,

Nelson’s access to the West coast was cut off last week after State Highway 6 was closed for several days following a slip that blocked the road.After extensive safety work by Waka Kotahi contractors, State Highway 6 at Dellows Bluff west of Murchison reopened on Friday after the major rockfall early on Wednesday morning. Initial indications are that tree roots and water ingress into the fractured cliff face caused the massive boulders to fall, leaving further fractured rocks overhanging the cliff face at risk of falling onto the road. Andrew James, Waka Kotahi systems manager – Top of the South, says temporary protection has been put in place allowing people to use the road safely. “Contractors have been building a stonefilled container wall in the northbound lane to protect the existing road shoulder. This means all traffic will be able to move through the section of road while work continues to stabilise the rockface”. A permanent fix for the rockfall risk will take some time to complete, meaning only a single lane will be opened initially, he warned. Photo: Supplied.

But being in Canada ticks so many boxes and the things I’ll be involved in are right up my street.” Before she leaves, Sophie is hold-

International students stunned by New Zealand beauty JENNY NICHOLSON A group who are among the first international students to return to the country after Covid-19 got thoroughly soaked in their first few days. It wasn’t the rain, but rather a humpback whale performing right beside their boat that splashed them while they were whale watching in Kaikoura. “We had seen mountains and sea together so were already pretty stunned,” says Alisa Fahrbach, a 15-year-old student from Germany. Alisa found out just how small the world is, when she connected with another student coming to Nayland College. They live just

four streets apart in Germany but only met once contact information was sent out from Study Nelson. One thousand college aged students have been able to come to New Zealand this month, and Study Nelson’s Mareike Ulfers is thrilled with how many have come to Nelson. Study Nelson has 41 students who spent last week together getting to know each other and getting familiar with Nelson. They spent time in the city talking with kiwis. “It was really cool. One time we looked lost, and a person asked us if we needed help. Everyone is so nice,” Alisa says. Alisa is joined by Theresa Polh at

Maxi Haumann enjoyed his week in Nelson but was looking forward to heading to Golden Bay where he will stay. A highlight for him was swimming at Tahuna. “Judging by the screams of the swimmers, I don’t think the water was very warm,” Mareike says. Students started at their colleges on Monday.

Nelson Police have impounded four dirt bikes following incidents of dangerous driving and anti-social behaviour in the Nelson area. A police spokesperson say the dirt bikes had failed to stop for police in the incidents, but an investigation led to them being located and the bikes seized. Four riders have been referred to Youth Aid. The spokesperson says police are concerned around

the number of reported incidents relating to dirt bikes and will continue to target riders who place the public, other road users and themselves at risk. Acting Inspector Hamish Chapman, Nelson Police says police and partner agencies work hard to ensure they keep communities safe. “We will continue to actively target those involved in anti-social and criminal activity,” he says.

Police say they need local communities to help them address unlawful behaviour in the region. Anyone with further information relating to dirt bike riders illegally on our roads are asked to call 111 if it is happening now and 105 after the fact. If for whatever reason you do not want to speak to Police directly, you can contact Crime Stoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online via www. crimestoppers-nz.org

Matt for Mayor Kia ora and hello!

Matt for Mayor

I’m Councillor Matt Lawrey and I’m standing to be your next Mayor of Nelson-Whakatū. My goal is to lead a more unified Council that gets better results in: housing, transport, urban design and the environment, without skyrocketing your rates bill.

MY POLICIES INCLUDE: 4 Bringing a positive, proactive and collaborative approach to the Mayoralty and Council to reset the organisation’s culture and its relationship with the people of Nelson-Whakatū. 4 Making public transport free for children, students, apprentices, Community Services Card holders and Total Mobility Card holders, and following through on plans to significantly improve the NBus service. 4 Making it possible for all of the city’s children to safely walk or ride to their local school by building on our existing walking and cycling network. This includes lighting the Railway Reserve and better connecting our existing paths and cycleways. 4 Ensuring Waka Kotahi delivers on its plan for transforming transport across the city, including the introduction of priority

lanes and the 4-metre-wide walkway-cycleway around our waterfront. 4 Making it easier for more medium-rise housing developments to be built in the central city, and increasing Council’s collaboration with Kāinga Ora and community housing providers to get more affordable homes built. 4 Continuing to work with iwi to improve Council’s relationship with tangata whenua and to increase cultural awareness and understanding of our city’s rich history. 4 Improving the health of the Maitai/Mahitahi River and increasing recreational opportunities by replacing single species clear-cut forestry on Council reserves with an environmentally sustainable mix of plantings.

Committing to these steps will benefit all Nelsonians by helping us to build a more liveable and prosperous city. They will also help us to respond to climate change and reduce traffic congestion.

Let’s talk! I love to chat so, if you’d like me to pay a visit to your neighbourhood, workplace, school, club or group, please get in touch – 027 406 3434. Want to know more?

Beer awards celebrate Tasman’s top breweries JO KENT The region’s breweries came away with a haul of medals in the Brewers Guild New Zealand Beer Awards, held at Sprig + Fern The Meadows in Richmond last week. The venue was selected as the Nelson regional hub for the black-tie event which Top of the South’s biggest breweries Sprig + Fern, Eddyline, Hop Federation, DNA Brewing and Test Lab attended. After the success of last year’s first-ever virtual awards ceremony, the winners of the 2022 NZBA were announced from the main hub at Emerson’s Brewery in Dunedin and beamed out live to five regional hubs across the country. Sprig + Fern took a total of 10 medals home, including a silver for their Best Bitter. Owner and master brewer Tracy Banner says she is extremely proud of her team. “It’s always special to celebrate. Our successes come from the combined effort of the team. From packaging, finance, sales, brewing and operations – everyone has contributed. As master brewer, it is very rewarding

to see our beers do well.” Eddyline Brewery won a total of 14 medals, picking up a gold for their Happy Camper American Pale Ale. Co-owner Mic Heynekamp says the win represents a great team effort. “We make most decisions as a team and by using the power of collective input, everyone is invested into making the best beer.” Newcomer, Nelson Brood Fermentation, took home the overall trophy for Best in Class under the Specialty & Experimental category for their Feijoa & Rye beer. They farm their own organic vineyard with biodynamic practices and make minimal intervention wine. They also brew unfined, unfiltered, beer that celebrates the seasons and takes time. Owners Lauren Yap and Jim Brown say they only entered one single beer into the awards and didn’t expect to win a gold medal, let alone a trophy. “We’re quite small and have only been brewing in New Zealand for two years so to win in a category that celebrates ‘weird beers’ is really affirming and recognition

for our experimental style means a lot to us,” says Lauren. Executive director for the Brewer’s Guild, Melanie Kees, says the competition was brought forward this year meaning there was just a nine-month turnaround between this competition and the last. “This year also saw the addition of the No & Reduced Alcohol Class to reflect the growth in this category, and with 29 entries in its first year it’s already proving popular.” A total of 29 judges were able to judge 828 beers in 119 style classes in just two days. All beers are judged ‘blind’ and scored out of 20 based on appearance, aroma, flavour and body, technical quality and style. “This was my first full NZBA judging, and awards event having only experienced it from the periphery in 2021. The work, the people, the energy and the absolute pleasure to be a part of something so professional really is something special,” says Melanie.The New Zealand Beer Awards is now in its 16th year.

Protecting property investments across the region Locally owned and operated, P Alert Kiwi has been bought to the region by a local couple after a close scare with a rental property. Aware that the in-depth testing and decontamination process of a property exposed to methamphetamine can be an extremely costly affair, the couple began to investigate the options of protecting their nest egg. “The thought of tenants both cooking and smoking P - Methamphetamine - in our rental property was scary and stressful. Never mind all the implications that go with meth contamination. We thought there must be a detector available!” After purchasing and installing a P Alert device in their rental they immediately saw results. “It initially picked up very minor levels of meth. A very low reading indicated that someone had possible walked in with meth contamination on their clothing.” The small ceiling or wall-mounted device monitors the air quality of a home every half an hour, sending an instant alarm to a realtime monitoring service upon meth detection. Made in New Zealand, the alarm has been tested and certified by the ESR forensic laboratories Auckland. P Alert is the only alarm worldwide that detects the precursor chemicals within Methamphetamine. Fitted with

anti-tamper mechanisms, weekly reports are sent to the property owner ensuring peace of mind for landlords, home buyers and accommodation providers. “We were so impressed with the unit and its potential that we have teamed up with P Alert Industries to look after the top of the South Island. We are looking forward to assisting other homeowners, landlords, moteliers and businesses with protecting their properties and keeping their family and their assets safe. It is great to have a device that is going to impact positively on the community and make a difference to everyone’s lives. Our rental is our retirement nest egg. This meth detection device gives us confidence that our nest egg is safe.” Also available from P Alert Kiwi is the RoadBlock Vehicle Meth Alarm. Designed for trucking, motor homes, campervans, fleet vehicles, rental companies, tiny homes and private vehicles, the RoadBlock Meth Alarm will protect all vehicles, help them to stay safe on the road, and provide a safe and clean environment for other staff and road users.

Opinion

Opinion Lowering the voting age to 16 Nowhere in last week’s article on the subject did I read any reference to the irrefutable scientific proof that in the mid-teens the prefrontal cortex part of the brain has not fully developed. This part of the brain is responsible for reasoning, planning, impulse control and judgement and it does not complete growth until the early to mid-twenties. This undoubtedly accounts for much of the errant behaviours we see in the 16 to low twenties age group. You know the ones... the car crashes, the street disorder and family harm, drug use, shoplifting etc. The “I can do what I want” scenarios. Anyone involved in enforcement, education or medical circles will attest to having seen these behaviours, as will many a parent. To tote that a 16-year-old can “leave school, get a job, pay tax, apply for (driver’s and firearm’s) licences” etc doesn’t nullify the proven limitations of the developing brain. Are such comparisons reason enough to assign adult responsibilities carte blanche? Perhaps society should be blamed for historically making changes that have allowed young people to be exposed to these harms when we know they aren’t fully equipped to cope. I am not saying all teens act in a majorly irresponsible way. Rather I am highlighting the medically recognised contributors as to why they might - the inability to reason, apply logic or fully comprehend outcomes through no fault

of their own. Just because they are still developing the controls afforded through reaching adulthood. Is it reasonable to place the responsibility of electing the officials that will represent our people and country on their young shoulders? Is it fair to allow the undeveloped mind to fully understand political agendas and the impact their vote could have on our society when they are not developed enough to do so? The push for lowering the voting age to 16 also appears to have become more vocal since the referendum on legalising (decriminalising) cannabis use was held, with many adolescents voicing their dissatisfaction with the result. Again, the ‘impulse’ behaviour and inability to reason or accept ‘no’ for an answer, irrespective of the facts. Look at the statistics around youth and adolescent drug use and, again, the medical proof of the damage that it does to the still-developing brain. Cannabis use amongst young people in NZ is rife. That doesn’t make it okay. So, the cynic might say that the cannabis argument may well be a contributing factor in the voting age argument. Time will tell, I guess. J Welch

Maitai Valley development challenged in hearing Ngati Koata’s Hemi Toia also said “Many opponents had announced with pride that they lived in the Maitai Valley, but were now denying that privilege to others.” A very good point that there are ulterior and hidden motives for the opponents of Maitai Valley housing development. Charlotte Williams Hope this does go through, I’d like to live there. Better than building on the arable Waimeha plains and having to put a highway through Victory. Matt Hippolite Is there a display model of the proposed development? I would like to see this before making a decision. John Sauer Fingers crossed the development is denied. The reasons against doing it far outweigh any

pros. Renee Lang They always say things like ‘housing prices are way out of reach for many’ like building 750 new houses will fix it? It just means 750 more houses out of reach for those same people, like the 2000 ‘affordable’ homes built out in richmond, from only $869,000. Tony Efilnikufesin Mac

$2 million needed for coal tar fix Thats a good way to spend the 20 odd million they get from Three Waters in 10 years. Liam Ryan Well they got money to spend, how about building some council houses, cheap rent places for families to live in. Roads can wait. Sharmaine Marie At a full council meeting last week, councillors approved unbudgeted additional capital funding of $2 million to cover the cost of disposing of the material.

Marilyn Shirley So 16-year-olds can’t drive without an adult, can’t get a gun license without an adult, can’t get married without adult permission, can’t gamble, cant buy smokes, can’t buy booze, can’t get prosecuted to the full extent of the law but you want them to gamble on the future of our country... makes so much sense yeah right. Reece Renae Swan Most 16 year old can’t change a toilet roll let alone make decisions in a vote. Maxine Hornell Then lower the age for adult crime sentencing to 16 as well. Rik Thomas If you pay taxes you should be able to vote or stop taxing kids the same rate as adults, simple. It shouldn’t be all 16 year olds though you should have to meet a criteria, as some things a 16 year can do needs parental consent. You all think they’re dumb but thanks to early exposure a lot of ‘teens’ are plenty aware of political issues nowadays. Jordan Janie I don’t believe they have enough understanding of what’s required for the job, to then vote for someone with any real understanding of what’s required.

Local History exploring our

Proudly brought to you by...

Cabragh House School and Residence ing who had taken over the Bishop’s School at the beginning of 1926. Eventually the three sisters all returned to Nelson, New Zealand. Janetta was a widow; her husband having died in 1936. Janetta was the only one of the three who married. The three sisters are buried in Richmond Cem-

MARG FARRELLY Two buildings in Weka Street, Numbers 46 and 48, made up Cabragh House School and Residence. The two-storey building was built in about 1897 and was the residence of Mr Hornsby and his three daughters. When the house was constructed, it was built on the shores of the Nelson inlet. The single storey building was used as a private boarding and day school for girls and little boys. John Pearson Hornsby purchased the two properties in Weka Street from Mr Greenen on 21 August 1901. Hornsby had been a manager in the railways in India and Northern Ireland. He was born in Carlisle, England in 1833. He married Charlotte Helen Menge in Bombay, India in January 1861. The couple had at least 5 children: Charles Fraser born 1866 in Ballina, Ireland; Charlotte born 1872; Helen born 1874; Harriet Ruth born 1879; Janetta Martha born 1880, the four daughters all born in Dublin. Mrs Hornsby died in London during 1890. A few years later in 1894, her husband and daughters emigrated to New Zealand. Their first home was ‘Seaview’ at Wakapuaka. Helen died in 1901 aged 27. In September 1901, Hornsby wrote a letter to the Council asking permission to put in a bridge to his residence and for some gravel be laid. The remaining three daughters started the school. On 21 August 1905, a notice appeared in the newspaper stating the proposed opening of Cabragh House School on 15 September. By October the advertisements read Cabragh House School Kindergarten. An advertisement in November had a notice stating a scholarship was available for tuition in 1906. Miss J. M. Hornsby was listed as the principal. During 1906 Cabragh House School was used by several other clients. There were weekly Lectures on First Aid

Janetta (Netta) Hornsby. Photo: Supplied. Advertisements for the school in 1907 listed all three Misses Hornsby as Principals. A report to the Education Board by the Inspectors of Nelson Schools, identified schools that did not come under control of the Board, one of which was Cabragh House with nine pupils. A total number of 522 pupils were in these schools to be found in Westport, Reefton, Motueka, the preparatory divisions of Nelson College and Nelson Girls’ College, St Mary’s and Miss Hooper’s School in Nelson. Concern was also expressed at the un-

certificated teachers in such schools, the numbers of which were increasing. New Regulations for the Examination and Classification of Teachers were implemented to ensure competent teachers were available. Extensive additions and improvements were made to Cabragh House School prior to the beginning of the second term in 1906. These included a new schoolroom, bathrooms, and extra bedrooms for boarders. The kindergarten class was conducted by the Principal Miss J. M. Hornsby. 1909 had advertisements for Cabaragh House School stating it was a boarding and day school for girls. The school inspectors report in April stated that the school now had only five pupils. The following year the roll increased to 15. In May 1915, the advertisement for Cabragh House School included Boys, stating they would be received in the Preparatory Division. The following year saw little boys admitted to the lower school. The higher number of students had been maintained during the year with more students boarding at the school. The Inspector’s examinations were held with good results. Several other ladies were employed to assist with the teaching. The primary section of the school was now Government registered. At the end of 1917 it was de-

cided not to pursue teaching beyond Standard 6. Cabragh House School had been open for just over 11 years and nearly 200 pupils had passed through. The roll had increased considerably, surpassing 40 pupils on several occasions. Pupils had come from all over New Zealand and even from Australia. The school buildings had been enlarged and a second house built. Adjoining ground had been leased to provide a basket-ball court. In March 1918, Miss Janetta Hornsby travelled to Ireland where she married George Frederick Coulter at Rathdown, Dublin. Her older sister Charlotte was left in charge as the main principal of the school. The school roll that year had 19 pupils. In May 1919 John Pearson Horsnby died at the age of 85. The following year an epidemic swept through Nelson delaying the opening of the school until 19 February 1920. Little else is known about the following years apart from continued advertising in the newspapers. In January 1924, Acting Principal Mrs Ulric West was in charge. One of the remaining Misses Hornsbys headed to the United Kingdom in April. During January 1927, Miss Charlotte Hornsby was leaving Nelson. She had arranged the Goodwill of the school to be taken over by Miss Glendin-

Nelson Council prepares for rising seas and climate change SAMANTHA GEE RNZ

As disruptive storms and major flooding events become more common, councils are looking at how to prepare for the impact of a changing climate. A 1 percent annual exceedance probability in flood flow Nelson City - with 0.5m sea level rise. It would see the CDB and half the homes in The Wood inundated. Photo: Supplied / Nelson City Council In the coastal city of Nelson, 4170 properties are likely to be affected by 1.5 metres of sea level rise by 2130. The council is holding community meetings and asking residents what features in the city they most want to protect. The Wood - a desirable low-lying suburb close to Nelson’s city centre is facing a future that will see more coastal inundation and river flooding. Residents want to know what the options are to protect their homes, and how long they have. Environmental engineer Rob Bell

said New Zealanders needed to prepare for more frequent and extreme weather events. “As across all our low lying areas around New Zealand, we’re going to have this flood sandwich, which is rising sea levels, more coastal flooding, and wave overtopping at one end of a suburb and at the other end of the suburb, increased river flooding from increased intensive rainfall.” Showing the flood flow of an annual exceedance probability event after 1.5m sea level rise in Nelson. Photo: Supplied / Nelson City Council He said while there was uncertainty about the pace of sea level rise, it was only moving in one direction. “There’s a misconception that this is going to be very costly and can we afford it, which is partly true, but the other side of the coin is, in terms of if we’re going to continue to have these constant flooding events, or erosion events, or river flooding events, they’re going to be quite costly to mop up, clean up, to rebuild.”

The council has released coastal flooding maps based on technical assessments done by Niwa. Predicted Maitai River flooding in Nelson in 2130. Photo: Supplied / Nelson City Council Council climate change manager Rachel Pemberton said it was seeking feedback from the community on what residents valued about living near the coast and the Maitai River. “We are hearing a lot of feedback on the importance of the natural environment, the importance of healthy habitats. People are talking a lot about recreational

values so how they love living near Tahunanui Beach, for example, and they want to be able to continue having access to the beach and also people want to protect their coastal views and areas around the coast.” Council will then use the feedback to develop specific adaptation measures for different areas. “Areas that are more vulnerable, such as Monaco and The Wood are likely to have prioritised adaptation options.” Stormwater and flood protection engineer Toby Kay said the region was exposed to coastal and

river flooding hazards in different ways. “Some of our coastline is very much exposed to wave run up or wave swell, for instance, along Rocks Road, Wakefield Quay and parts of Tāhunanui. In the CBD you have tidal inflow through the stormwater network, and it’s more of a ponding type situation.” He said there would be tradeoffs between different adaptation options: measures like flood walls, tidal gates, river diversions or detention ponds. “The options need to be identified and prioritised based on what the communities value around the city and those values may be different in different areas, some people may put more emphasis on protection against flooding, and others may put more emphasis on protecting the environment.” The council is waiting for the Climate Adaptation Act and the National Adaptation Plan to be released by government later this year before it plans any specific mitigation measures for the city.

Forestry industry celebrated SARA HOLLYMAN Grant Puklowski has can claim to be the best in the industry after he was awarded Skilled Professional of the Year at this year’s forestry awards. Top of the South Forestry Awards recognises excellence in the industry in a time that has been “challenging” for many. Grant was celebrated as a true leader in the industry, a mentor to many, and one who genuinely cares about his team at Puklowski Silviculture, their work, their clients and the ongoing future of forestry. Grant who also won the Forestry Excellence certificate earlier in Friday night’s ceremony, is one of OneFortyOne’s highest-performing silviculture contractors, but he’s quick to share the praise with his team. He invests a lot into training his team and making sure they are well looked after, and that continues to pay off for him with many who have stayed with him

for 20-plus years. A leader by example, he also takes on school leavers, training them up and giving them a chance in the industry. A 30-year forestry veteran, Grant followed his father into the industry, just as his own children are now working alongside him. Those who know him say he exemplifies forestry excellence in every aspect. The 2022 awards ceremony also saw the first induction into the Hall of Fame, with Darryl Bird acknowledged for the significant role he has played in the Logging and Forestry Industry Training Board and his contribution to the wider industry. Darryl Bird has trained and assessed so many over the years and played a huge part in helping to create the industry that it is today. Mike Fraser of Fraser Logging was honoured as the Hero of the Industry for his massive investment, contribution and input to forestry in the region. The Crew of the Year

Award went to Bryant Logging 730 Hauler Crew with Kelly Logging taking the Outstanding Environmental Management crown, Steve Borlase from Borlase Transport walking off with the Outstanding Health and Safety Management Award, and Buck Forestry Services rewarded with the Outstanding Regional Service Performance award. MC Jeremy Corbett kept the sell-out 550-strong crowd well entertained at the Trafalgar Centre. The awards, which were started in 2019, have had a lucky run, being able to slide through between lockdowns last year. This is third awards evening that has seen the wider industry come together to celebrate all that is good about forestry and the men and women who make it happen. TOTS committee chair Nathan Taylor says the region has weathered well the past two years that have really challenged others and it had not felt the brunt of Covid and its re-

lated issues, like other regions had. “The diversity of the Top of the South has really been to our advantage,” he says. Sawmilling was done locally in Nelson and Marlborough and there hadn’t been the problems with shipping that had been felt elsewhere. A minority of the region’s timber heads out over the port. “Many forest companies have got in behind our rural communities, which is the secret to success,” he says. He says innovation was also key to the region, with many firsts in the use of new technology. “We are a region that looks after each other, while also seeking to be true leaders in forestry, and I think we can all see that clearly,” Nathan says. He tipped his hat to the transition from Competenz through to the new Te Pukenga ROVE entity to ensure there would continue to be a good flow of young people coming into the industry.

Nelson talent showcased in new single Pop/rock guitar virtuoso and songwriter Reece Milton released his latest single ‘Take It Easy’ complete with a music video produced by award-winning cinematographer and world class producers, shot in Nelson – his hometown. Reece released ‘Take It Easy’ on Friday, 22 July with a launch event at Kismet. It is the fourth installment of his debut album, Elixir, which is set for release in August. Previous singles from this upcoming album are Once in a Lifetime, Take My Hand and Atmosphere. ‘Take It Easy’ features Reece’s slick signature guitar talent, tight drum licks and spicy horn samples. Produced by IMME of Nelson-based StudioBox Creative’s own label - Antipodes Records, the chorus and riff for the track were stuck in Reece’s head for a year before he sat down to write it. “As a songwriter I always start with the riffs, hooks and choruses as they come to me first and the lyrics are more based on themes as opposed to actual events. I hope people can pick their own meaning from the lyrics,” Reece says. Accompanying the single is

Cinematography was by Bevan Crothers, who has shot everything from Stan Walker’s feature-length documentary, and Wellington Paranormal as well as shooting the Aotearoa Music Awards best music video of 2020 for the hip hop group

Swidt. Executive producer Jane Baken of StudioBox Creative and Antipodes Records says she wanted to pull in an incomparable team for the video, led by Jonny Eagle and Melissa Spratt of Innit Creative, to showcase Reece’s music with the production value his talent deserves. “We have created a magic back-

drop to showcase Reece’s solely original sound and really make a statement in preparation for the release of his album”. Eagle and Spratt of Innit Creative both bring a wealth of experience having worked abroad on major motion pictures such as 1917, Fury, Star Wars: Ep 7 and Star Wars: Rogue One to name a few of their impressive combined

credits. Shot in Nelson at Kismet Cocktail and Whisky Bar, the music video pulled a myriad of local actors together to create a glamorous black and white world harkening back to the Casablanca era. The video, shot over two nights, is complete with period costume design and art department by Melissa Spratt. Laura says she wanted the video to focus on telling a story while creating a dramatic introduction for Reece as a musician. “I also wanted to focus on Reece’s genuine love for his guitar, which became its own character in the shoot.” Bevan says the look he tried to create came from researching well-known noir pieces that led to treating the music video like a “period piece short film”. “The highlight for me was just how much everyone brought to this project. Starting with Reece bringing his incredible musical talents along with some great acting. The cast and extras put in such a huge effort. Everyone did their part to create this world.” ‘Take It Easy’ is available on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube and everywhere you stream music.

Fantasy and reality collide in dance spectacular at Theatre Royal Fantasy and reality collide in Dry Spell by Footnote New Zealand Dance, a cerebral spiralling ascension of desire, decadence and disgrace. Dry Spell delves into the mind - taking a shuddering moment in time, blending nostalgia and futurism to create scenes of excitement, fear and pleasure. A mind can be very misleading especially when we are in close proximity to it. Performed by Footnote New Zealand Dance’s team of electrifying dance artists, with choreography by trailblazing choreographer Rose Philpott and sound design by acclaimed composer Eden Mulholland, Dry Spell is a performance for thrill-seekers. Rose says she is excited to share this new, layered contemporary dance work;

Dry Spell by Footnote New Zealand Dance will show for one performance only at the Theatre Royal next Wednesday. Photo: Supplied. “The mind can play tricks on us,” she says. “Especially when we are faced with finality.” She says Dry Spell is a portal into the privacy of the inner-self and also to some dark corners of the universe. “Combining physical theatre, dance,

textile and spatial design, it is a peephole through which we see ourselves under the immense pressure of collapse and how the human spirit might resist. Some of us have a drink, some of us dance, I don’t think there is necessarily a right way.”

New to the Footnote New Zealand Dance team is general manager, Brian Wood, who says he is delighted to present Dry Spell, the first work under his guidance, as it perfectly showcases Footnote’s kaupapa of creating career pathways in dance.

“Footnote is excited to add Dry Spell to our rich history of works that support career pathways for dancers, choreographers and other creative professionals; a prime example of this pathway is Rose’s work with us. “It’s our privilege to continue encouraging artistic risks to advance contemporary dance in Aotearoa by providing exceptional arts experiences for our diverse audiences.” Teetering on an edge of hallucination and reality, Dry Spell is a full-length movement work that taps into the collective and individual needs of the heart, body and soul. Dry Spell shows at Theatre Royal Nelson on August 3 at 7.30pm. Tickets at www. theatreroyalnelson.co.nz/

Arts Winter energy saving tips Simple changes to the way you use electricity can save you a lot of money.

From left: Gerry Kool as Dr Coppélius, Andrew Rushby as Franz and Lydia Fitzgerald as Swanhilda are ready to take to the stage. Photo: Sara Hollyman. Home Heating makes up around 30-35% of an average power bill. z Choose a heater that suits the room and your needs. Portable electric heaters are 100% efficient, but heat pumps can be more than 300% efficient. z Consider heating only the room you are in rather than the whole house. z Set your heat pump to a comfortable temperature like 20°C or if using a heater, make sure it has a thermostat to help maintain an even, constant temperature. Hot water makes up around 30% of an average power bill. z Make sure your hot water isn’t too hot, it should be around 55-60°C. z Insulate your hot water cylinder and hot water pipes to prevent heat lot. z Showers use less water than running a bath, especially when using an energy efficient showerhead. z Wash clothes in cold water. A hot water wash can use ten times more electricity than a cold wash and cost you around $80 extra a year. Cooktops and stoves make up around 10-15% of an average power bill. z Microwaves, pressure cookers, crock pots, electric fry pans all use less power than the oven. z Match the size of the pan to the size of the element. z Don’t use the oven as a heater. Lighting makes up to around 8% of an average power bill. z Turn the lights off when you’re not in the room. z Install energy efficient light bulbs. While an LED bulb costs more upfront than an incandescent bulb, the LED bulb has a projected lifespan of 25,000 hours compared to 1,200 hours of an incandescent bulb. Appliances z When replacing your whiteware and other home appliances, look for models with high energy star rating as these cost less to run - refrigerators and freezers make up around 12% of an average power bill. z Most devices, appliances and gadgets enter standby mode when you power them down – save up to $100 a year by switching them off at the wall and unplugging chargers when devices are fully charged. It’s surprising how even the smallest changes can result in worthwhile savings.

Coppélia set to hit the stage three years on Three years since director Gillian Francis announced the first casting list, comic ballet Coppélia will finally grace the stage at the Theatre Royal Nelson. Gillian says the performance has been plagued by covid cancellations, with the first try at the performance foiled by the 2020 lockdown. After her Nelson Academy of Dance students continued to rehearse for almost three years, each time preparing to hit the stage but failing before the final hurdle, Gillian can’t quite believe that in just two weeks the show will finally go ahead. Coppélia tells the story of a boy named Franz who is infatuated with the beautiful Cop-

pélia without realising she is, in fact, a life-sized doll, created by the eccentric and mysterious inventor Dr Coppélius. Franz falls deeply in love with her and wants to marry her, even though he is already engaged to another woman. His fiance, Swanhilda, sees Franz throwing kisses at Coppélia and decides to impersonate the doll, in order to win his love. Chaos ensues, but all is soon forgiven. Swanhilda and Franz make up and get married. Gillian says the students had been rehearsing for so long, with the performance being cancelled each time, that late last year they ended up doing an outdoor show at St Joseph’s School to show the families

what the students had been working on. She says having danced the same show as a young dancer, the perseverance will pay off with a display of beautiful costumes and stunning sets. Around 80 actors and dancers will take to the stage, with the youngest dancer being just four-years-old, the show promises something for everyone. “It’s fun, it’s eccentric, it’s beautiful, it really has a bit for everybody,” Gillian says. Coppélia will show at the Theatre Royal on Friday, 12 Aug at 7pm and Saturday, 13 August at 1.30pm and 7pm. Tickets available from www.theatre royalnelson.co.nz

Mike King talks mental health to help locals SARA HOLLYMAN Mike King laid bare his mental health suffering that he hides behind a staunch exterior in Nelson this week, in the hope locals can support their families going through similar things. An Evening with Mike King was hosted at Rutherford Hotel on Monday evening as part of the I Am Hope charity tour around New Zealand. The free event saw Mike speak of his mental health journey and aimed to give the audience tools to interact differently with others to break the cycle of youth turning to suicide. “I have had drug addiction, I’m an alcoholic, I have self-esteem issues. I hide behind a staunch exterior hoping that no one would see.” Mike spoke of growing up being an “ugly child” who was teased mercilessly and had rejection issues, never feeling good enough for his dad. He shared the importance of how we speak to our youth and said instead of looking at just a bully’s behaviour, the question we need to ask is ‘why do bullies bully’. He said he has personally spoken to more than 250,000 kids on the subject and what his team

Nelson’s Taryn Beattie who helped organise An Evening With Mike King. Photo: Sara Hollyman. have discovered is bullies bully because there is a bigger bully somewhere in that kid’s life. “You can only teach what is being taught and there is nothing that you can say or do to this kid that hasn’t been done 500 times worse to them.” Mike says we have become a society that focuses on behaviour rather than asking the more serious question of what drives the behaviour. He shared how there are two types of people: Type A and Type

B. Type A he likened loosely to introverts, typically quieter and visibly nervous with much more internal dialogue, whereas Type B he referred to as closer to extrovert, often confrontational and outwardly spoken. “Mikey type A, we embrace this guy, ‘hey guys he’s not fitting in, he’s a good guy’, we have empathy and sympathy for him. “Yet Mikey number two, we treat him completely different – ‘you’re a bad person, you’re a bully, that shit has got to stop’.”

“But I’m not a bully and I’m not a bad person, I have rejection issues, and this is how I protect myself. “My whole life I’ve been walking around telling myself I’m not good enough, other people are better than me so I’m constantly on the look out for any sign of rejection. I’ll walk into a room with a big smile on my face, but I’m constantly looking for any sign of rejection. If I see a hint of rejection in your eyes, I’ll reject you before you can reject me, because

this is the only way I can hold onto that little slither of self-esteem that I have left. Because if you reject me first, you destroy me.” He said it’s important to remember that people make mistakes, and it can be as minor as mistaking the meaning in a look someone gives. “We should treat these two types of people the same because they both want the same things – connection and acceptance.” He said what he and his team hear from school pupils across the country is that children do not talk to their parents because they are scared to disappoint them. Mike says we should aim to share more with our children to teach them that it’s ok to be vulnerable. “Don’t say ‘I’ve had a shit day at work I don’t want to talk about it’, tell them this is why the day was shit but you made it better. Instead of thinking they’ve done something to disappoint you, they will go away feeling good that they improved your day. “To be vulnerable is the toughest, bravest thing a man can do and the fact that our generation is not showing vulnerability to our kids is having a devastating effect on their mental health.”

Tasman Mako seasons kick into gear PETER JONES There is a familiar look to the 2022 Tasman Mako men’s rugby squad, which was named on Sunday for the forthcoming Bunnings NPC season. Their first outing is against Southland in Blenheim on Sunday August 7 at 2.05pm. A squad of 32 has been announced for the demanding campaign, containing plenty of well-known faces, most of whom took part in the Covid-blighted 2021 campaign, when Tasman finished runner-up to Waikato. However, there is room for a couple of players new to regular provincial play, such as prop Matt Graham-Williams, outside back Tomasi Alosio and halfback Noah Hotham. The forward pack looks formidable and well-balanced, being packed with Super Rugby players, including former All Blacks Atu Moli and Tyrel Lomax. The loss of Jacob Norris and Taina Fox-Matamua is balanced by a powerful loose forward mix, all current Super Rugby players. There is a less seasoned look to

Former All Black Tyrel Lomax is one of several Super Rugby players in the impressive forward pack for the Tasman Mako’s 2022 campaign. Photo: Evan Barnes/Shuttersport (File) the outside and inside back selections, especially with the likes of Finlay Christie, David Havili, Leicester Fainga’anuku, Sevu Reece and Will Jordan on All Black duty. Also absent this year are the experienced duo of inside back Tim O’Malley and winger Mark Telea. Young guns Louie Chapman and Hotham will share the nine jersey while Timoci Tavatavanawai is the most destructive of the outsides.

The midfield stocks are solid with NZ Maori player Alex Nankivell being joined by Levi Aumua, who enjoyed a top Super Rugby season with the Moana Pasifika crew, and Highlander Fetuli Paea. Meanwhile, on Saturday, the Tasman Mako women got their 2022 Farah Palmer Cup campaign off to a promising start in Whangarei. Although they went down 2910 to the hosts, the Northland

Kauri, the Mako showed enough to suggest they will quickly gel into a strong unit. Two first half tries pushed the hosts to a 12-0 halftime lead. First five Cassie Siataga, the most impressive of the Mako backline, landed a penalty to bring the visitors back into the game. However, two more Northland tries stretched their lead to 24-3. Again, it was Siataga who gave the Mako late hope, scoring a superb solo try to close the gap once more. Bethan Manners slotted the conversion to reduce the margin to 24-10 before a last-minute touchdown to the Kauri inflated it once more. Impressive for the Tasman side were stalwart Tamara Silcock, in her 30th appearance, fellow loosie Sui Pauaraisa, halfback Hannah Kelly and left wing Becky Davidson. The next game for the Mako women is against Taranaki in Nelson on Saturday, 30 July. On Friday the Tasman Mako development side were well beaten by their Canterbury counterparts in Hanmer, going down 69-7.

Mason Robinson and the New Zealand O50 cricket team have returned from their tour of Australia with some new hardware for the cabinet. Having played two games against Australia and one against Sri Lanka, the New Zealand team walked away with an unbeaten record. Mason was instrumental in his team’s first win, stumping the Australian opener Steve Mace on 83, leaving them to collapse to a total of just 177. He scored a total of 13 runs over two innings, with New Zealand winning their last match by seven wickets.

With both teams trading a goal apiece in the first half, it was a game of attrition as their premier side took control of the game late with their superior fitness. Karenni had the opportunities to score but were unable to find the net. However, the Sheehan Financial FC Nelson 1st XI converted every chance they had. Caleb Skinner had a fantastic game, earning player of the day for his gas tank over the full 90 minutes. Wing backs Phun Thawn and Jed Thorp also had great games, pushing down the flanks to create

They get tired and they can’t think.” He said the club’s community spirit was their strength and weakness. “(They’re) an incredible group of young men who represent the community.

THE CAR COMPANY

DIVISION 2

Stoke are Tasman Rugby’s second division champions after beating Riwaka 3026 in a hard-fought final. It was a game of two halves, with neither team finding success against the run of momentum that the other side was having. Stoke came out of the gates strongly, camping in the opposition 22 and finding success. They opened the scoring with back-to-back penalties before wave after wave of attack saw them score their first try from a pick-and-go as the Riwaka defence tried to find its footing. A yellow card to number 8 Elia Togitele for a tackle without the ball saw them add to their tally with a penalty before scoring a try on the stroke of halftime after a strong linebreak put the defence on the back foot. A try on the other side of the half after a long attacking phase by Stoke saw them take a 30-0 lead, and it looked like they had sealed the victory, but Riwaka were far from done. They took the game by the scruff of the neck and started to find success as the Stoke forwards started to wear out. They scored their first try of the game after a tap and go got them close and then Elia bulldozed it over in first receiver. He had a fantastic game for Riwaka that was punctuated by his hard defence and even harder carries. The visitors would score again in the corner after a lack of discipline from Stoke kept marching them back in orders of 10 metres before Riwaka spread it wide and into space. They forced a Stoke yellow card for repeated infractions before

They then worked their way back into the Stoke half with a linebreak before being awarded a penalty try for Stoke slowing the ball down. With four points now the difference, the stage had been set for a thrilling ending. The ball boys had placed the ball at the halfway line for the restart, but by the time Stoke made it back the referee had blown his whistle for full time. Riwaka captain Hayden Crapper says they are normally the side who come out hot and wear themselves out early. “It took us a wee while to start off. We were pretty nervous.” Having finished with the wooden spoon

That Waka heart.” Stoke captain Jacob Curtis was emotional after the final, having just played his last match after deciding to step away from the game to spend time with family. “When I first started 10-or-11 years ago we sucked... even to make a final is a dream. “It’s my last game with the boys, and what a way to go out. Undefeated.” He wanted to thank the supporters and family members who turned up week in and week out to support the team. “Everyone’s sacrificed to get here.

Fifth Commonwealth Games appearance just as exciting as first JACK MALCOLM Val Smith is just as excited on the eve of her fifth appearance at the Commonwealth Games as she was her first time. At 57-years old, Val says her role in the team has changed over the years, but her love for the game has never waned. “With all my sports, I’ve been really lucky that I’ve lasted this long, because I love what I do. “Your role does change and you feel it over time, but I love giving back to the younger generation coming through and passing my experience onto them. “I’ll still be in there and showing those girls you can play at the highest level and enjoy every moment of it.” Despite Covid-19 interrupting their preparations, Val says the team have bonded well over Zoom and through training camps. They recently travelled to Australia to compete in a Trans-Tasman series, played on a turf that will simulate the conditions of the Northern Hemisphere.

Val Smith (left) celebrates the final bowl of her 2014 campaign at the Glasgow Commonwealth games where her team won bronze for New Zealand. Photo: Supplied. She says the greens on that side of the world are completely different to the ones in New Zealand.

“It’s like a completely different game. It will take all of our focus and concentration to stay at the

top of our game. People don’t realise and think the expectation is to medal.”

The biggest difference is how much slower the greens run on the other side of the world, with the team forced to train on local croquet lawns because they simulate the conditions. Val says the Trans-Tasman series was a great opportunity to see how different it would be, and they have a lot of fine tuning to do after a tough loss. She hasn’t played in the Northern Hemisphere since winning bronze at the Glasgow Games in 2014, having fallen just short of making back-to-back finals after a silver medal finish in Delhi. As part of the triples and fours team, she’ll have two more chances at medalling again this time around having finished 5th and 9th in the Gold Coast Commonwealth games four years ago. Val says she’s got no plans on slowing down anytime soon. “I’ll just keep going till I’ve had enough. “I feel in a very good position to be going to a fifth Commonwealth Games to represent New Zealand. It never gets any less exciting.”

Nelson Netball Centre have confirmed an ongoing partnership with NBS into the 2022 netball season and beyond. Nelson Netball and NBS have been partners for many years and both organisations say they are excited to grow and develop the relationship as Nelson Netball look for more ways to increase exposure of the sport across the region. Nelson Netball general manager, Ani-Marie Waitai, says their partnership allows them to put their netball community first. “Our partnership agreement allows us to put the needs of our netball community at the forefront so that we are able to continue to offer opportunities, while growing our lifelong love of netball.” As well as extending their naming rights partnership of the NBS Premier Netball Competition, NBS are also supporting both the junior and senior umpiring squads with brand new t-shirts and a long-term investment, and have provided brand-new post pads for Saxton Stadium.

Netball Nelson and NBS have confirmed an ongoing partnership beyond the 2022 season, with local players like Nelson Girls College’s Luseane Uia (pictured) at the forefront of receiving the benefits.

NBS general manager commercial Howie Timms says investing in the region at a grassroots level is a core part of their role in the community. “We are committed to making a positive difference to the health and well-being of the people in our communities. Our sponsorship of Nel-

son Netball is a fantastic way of making this happen on the ground.” The 2022 Nelson Netball Season has just passed the halfway point. The NBS Premier Competition has already provided some exciting contests, with the FCL Nelson Men remaining unbeaten after being pushed to the wire by Jacks OPD in Round 1 and introduction of promotion/ relegation between all grades at the end of round 2.

Celebrating life of Nelson’s leading karate light JACK MALCOLM The life of Eiko Hanshi Andy Barber, one of the most accredited Karate masters in the world, is being celebrated after he passed away last week, aged 74. He dedicated his life to the sport and helping others, with thousands of students from around the country. As an 8th dan master, Eiko Hanshi Andy was one of just three practitioners in the world with the title when he was awarded it in 2008. The Hanshi rank is sometimes referred to as ‘the masters of masters’. In June, Eiko Hanshi Andy was promoted to Eiko Hanshi 8th dan (chief master) level alongside Christchurch’s Renzie Hanham and American Charles Martin. In dedication of their lifelong dedication and contribution to Seido Karate, the trio are the only people in the world to be presented the unique title. Only one person has a higher rank, Seido karate’s founder Tadashi Nakamura, and it will never be awarded again. Eiko Hanshi Andy found his love for martial arts as a teenager growing up in Wellington. Inspired by watching Avengers fight crime with karate-inspired moves, he joined a gym in Petone. A visit to New Zealand by Tadashi (the then worldwide chief instructor for Kyokushin karate) inspired Eiko Hanshi Andy to continue following his passion for karate. After finishing high school, he travelled to Japan for months of intensive training at the Kyokushinkai Honbu Dojo in Tokyo. On his return, he worked for a

Eiko Hanshi Andy Barber was one of only three people in the world who will ever be promoted to Eiko Hanshi 8th Dan when he was awarded the honour earlier this year. Photo: Evan Barnes/Shuttersport. publishing company and travelled the South Island while continuing his martial arts practices. Through those travels, he saw Nelson as a great place to raise a family and in desperate need of a karate school. In 1974, at the age of 26, Eiko Hanshi Andy quit his job and converted the Parere Street factory building into a place to teach what was then a little-known martial art. He also met his wife, Jane, in Nelson when she started karate as one of his students. Over the next 48 years, the sport would explode in popularity and

thousands of students would come through Seido Karate Nelson’s doors. In 1975, Eiko Hanshi Andy was selected to captain the New Zealand karate team in the World Championships, where he met Tadashi for the second time, and it made a big impression on him. The next year Tadashi withdrew from Kyokushin karate to set up his own school, named Seido (the “sincere way”) and Eiko Hanshi Andy quickly followed suit. The school flourished under Eiko Hanshi Andy’s leadership, with hundreds of students regularly attending the classes held each

week. He would also open further satellite dojos in Stoke, Richmond, Motueka, Blenheim, Reefton, Hokitika and St Arnaud. Despite all his personal accolades and awards, Eiko Hanshi Andy’s biggest honour was the students he helped guide throughout his life. From turning around troubled youth to watching his prodigies travel the world to teach and compete, Eiko Hanshi Andy lived a life full of helping others. In 2016, Andy received the Queen’s Service Medal for services to karate and the commu-

nity. He is survived by his wife Jane, children Aaron, Natasha, San and Sophie. In a statement released by the family, they said they had lost their husband, dad and Oji. “True to his character, he was charming, kind and hardworking to the end, even smiling at our jokes. It is fair to say, we are all heartbroken. “He has left a strong legacy that we are so proud of and has touched lives of many around the world. “He is our inspiration, our mighty tōtara.”

Free - Do it at home

If you’re aged 60 to 74, you can have free bowel screening. A bowel screening test kit will be sent to your home every two years. This simple test can help find bowel cancer early when it can often be successfully treated. When you get the test, just do it! It could save your life.

Key takeaway: For most people, the first step to accessing mental health care is to talk to a GP. A GP can guide and refer you on toward the appropriate service and care.

Bowel screening is easy

To find out more go to timetobowelscreen.nz or talk to your doctor

Typically, in a non-crisis situation, the best place to start is with your GP. A GP can provide advice and may suggest treatment options, including medication, psychotherapy and counselling. When appropriate, A GP might refer you to a special service or organisation if you meet certain criteria. Community mental health services that accept self-referrals

While some mental health services in non-hospital settings require referrals from GPs or mental health professionals, there are many services and support groups in our region that accept self-referrals. The Family Service Directory, Healthpoint, the Mental Health Foundation and Te Whatu Ora provide a local directory of support groups and in-person support services. Private Therapy

The Mental Health Foundation recommends several search services for finding a therapist privately. When you work with a therapist privately you will have to pay for the appointment. You may be able to access the WINZ Disability Allowance to help cover some of the costs.
