Buses over cars Waka Kotahi’s plan for our roads revealed Sara Hollyman Travelling by car to Nelson city will take longer as Waka Kotahi priorities public transport and active travel in its traffic plan for the city. Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency is forging ahead with plans to add priority lanes to Rocks and Waimea Rds along with a slew of traffic lights through Nelson’s main traffic corridors. Nelson City Council is being asked to endorse Waka Kotahi’s NZ Transport Agency’s preferred Nelson Future Access programme at a full council meeting on Thursday and. If they don’t it will likely mean no new investment from the agency into the city’s transport network. The programme is designed to roll out over 30 years and aims to increase the availability of attractive walking and cycling paths as well as public transport options close to planned dense housing developments. If endorsed, the business case will be put before the Waka Kotahi Board on 16 December for it to consider and approve the final business case. That would then allow works to begin in 2022, subject to funding approval. Near term proposed Projects to be progressed over the next three years would include the installation of traffic lights at the Parkers Rd / Tāhunanui Dr intersection, Waimea Rd / Franklyn St intersection and the Motueka/Tipahi St intersection.

“I have a nice one of the kids roasting marshmallows at the beach in Ruby Bay.”

“Probably my photos with the kids making snowmen in the snowy mountains in the Lewis Pass.”

“I have one of the sun shining over the Riehn River with the autumn leaves.”

“The whole fam in our wedding photos last November in a break between pandemics.”

Waka Kotahi’s plan for our roads revealed from page 1 Traffic lights at Waimea Rd / Franklyn St will progress, even without council endorsement of the business case, as it is part of the Government’s ‘Road to Zero’ safety improvements for walking and cycling. The programme also includes additional cycling facilities on Washington Rd and a cycling link between Railway Reserve and Waimea Rd. However, there has not yet been funding assigned from the National Land Transport Plan for these projects. A new section of cycle path between the Motueka/Tipahi St and Hampden St/Waimea Rd intersections, including lights at the Motueka/Tipahi St intersection, would connect to a cycle route developed as part

of council’s Innovating Streets trial. This would also combine to form the Victory to Waimea cycle route. Nelson Mayor Rachel Reese says council endorsement of the business case is essential for the programme to move forward and progress to be made. “Council is encouraging the community to transition to more sustainable modes choosing active and public transport more often for their journeys. To make progress in our region, investment and support will be required from Waka Kotahi for a variety of projects and programmes that support a move toward a more sustainable transport system. She says the preferred programme offers a “real opportunity to make our waterfront

more people focussed with a wide boulevard for walking and cycling proposed for Rocks Road”. The reinstatement of the southbound clearway at the intersection of Bisley Ave and Rocks Rd within the next three years is also on the list to improve afternoon peak period traffic. The lane would be a parking lane outside of these hours. The southbound clearway was first instigated in 2007 but, by 2013, it was removed and turned into permanent parking after safety concerns were raised. The business case recommends that this merge lane be made permanent following a safety review and “considerable concern” about safety from the community. A speed review of Rocks Rd

has also been recommended. Staff recommend council endorses the business case after four years of work on the project. Between four and 10 years from now, the programme would see a 5m wide walking and cycling facility on Rocks Rd/SH6. This was first estimated to cost between $60-70m in June 2020 but has already doubled in cost and is now expected to cost between $140166M. If council does not endorse the proposal, the board will not consider the business case, which is the product of four years of work and engagement. Waka Kotahi estimates it can shift 6-8 per cent of private vehicle trips to “lower carbon and healthier” forms of transport by 2048.

Plan highlights • Bisley Ave/Rocks Rd southbound clearway reinstated • Prioritise buses through use of priority lanes • Traffic lights at Parkers Rd/ Tāhunanui Drive • Traffic lights at Franklyn St / Waimea Rd • 5m walking and cycleway on Rocks Rd at cost of $140-166m

Students spearhead Saxton Field safety Erin Bradnock Reporter

erin@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Two Waimea College students are campaigning to make the Saxton Recreation Reserve a safer space for the public. After learning about an attack on a woman in June, students Karishma Patel and Cassidy de Clercq set about launching a public survey to learn more about safety issues at Saxton Field. On Thursday, 24 June, at about 9pm, a man attacked a woman while she was walking through the Saxton Recreation Reserve. The man dragged the victim 13 metres across bark and into shrubs while she was trying to walk to Champion Rd. Police reported the incident as an assault with intent to rape. The woman managed to get away but the pepetrator has still not been found. The incident made Karishma and Cassidy nervous to train at the recreation reserve. Karishma is at Saxton at least twice a week with her hockey team. “For it to happen so close in our community, it has left us quite fearful,” she says. The girls say their sports teams

The pair have launched a safety survey to see how other users are experiencing the area and whether more lighting across the site would make for a safer experience. “We did the survey to see if people thought the same as us,” Karishma says. The pair have received encouraging support from Sport Tasman. “We’re also concerned with safety around the field and we’d like to think that everybody who uses Saxton Field can do so safely,” Sport Tasman general manager Tony Thomas says. He says responsibility for field

upgrades falls with the Saxton Field recreation committee. Committee member and Nelson deputy mayor, Judene Edgar, says the committee is eager to hear the survey results. “We really do appreciate this work that they are doing. This is just another way to help inform us on our priorities.” She says in her 14 years on the committee, she has not been aware of an assault of this nature happening in the area before. Cassidy and Karishma’s survey will close in two weeks’ time, and they hope to hear from as many respondents as possible. The survey can be found on Sport Tasman’s Facebook page or at www.surveymonkey.com/ r/5QFH9FX

Thousands of new homes for Waimea Jo Kent Reporter

jo@waimeaweekly.co.nz

More than 2000 homes will be built in Tasman in the coming years with multiple projects progressing to their next stages. Tasman District Council has approved plans for up to 2000 new houses in an area which will become known as Richmond South. A separate project in Wakefield is also one step closer to Government funding for 321 new homes after making it through the first round of applications in the Infrastructure Acceleration Fund (IAF) process. The Richmond South project covers the current southern boundary of Richmond, at Bateup Rd, southwards to between White Road and Ranzau Rd, and into the foothills of the Barnicoat Range. Tasman District Council planner Jeremy Butler is leading the project and says with the continuing

high growth rates in the area, the council has a responsibility to look ahead. “Even with greater intensification within existing residential areas, we will not have enough dwellings to house everyone who wants to live here.” Richmond is Tasman’s fastest growing settlement, and the region is experiencing very high rates of urban growth and housing shortages. The year ending May 2021, saw a record 633 building consents issued for new dwellings. The Wakefield project, alongside others in Tākaka and Motueka, have all been chosen to go through to the next phase of IAF funding. Combined, the three projects would see 621 new homes built in the region. The IAF is a $1 billion government fund managed by Kāinga Ora, which supports new or improved infrastructure to speed up housing developments over a five-year period. Tasman Mayor Tim King says he’s pleased these are-

as got through to the next phase and says it validates the strong relationship between the developers and the council. He says that while the process is far from over, being invited to submit further proposals for the three projects is progress. Homes for Wakefield committee member, Tony Aldridge, says it’s a step in the right direction for the community. “We’ve already seen drafts of the proposed lots which will become available. What stood out for us was the amount of smaller dwellings, which is something we want.” The group has been pushing council on the need for smaller homes in future housing developments after a survey they carried out showed people want smaller properties built for the ageing community. According to the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand, the median house price in Tasman was a record $850,000 in May 2021.

Sanctuary back saddleback Erin Bradnock The Brook Waimārama Sanctuary team have put in their top picks for this year’s Bird of the Year competition, including new residents the tīeke (South Island saddleback). Te Manu Rongonui o te Tau or the annual Bird of the Year competition endeavours to raise awareness for Aotearoa’s native wildlife - and for good reason, as 80 per cent of our birds are considered to be threatened species. The Brook Waimārama Sanctuary staff and volunteers work each day to keep the sanctuary predator free and to promote native wildlife, like the tīeke, which arrived on site in April this year.

Sanctuary biosecurity ranger Steffi Hebberd says the reintroduction of 20 tīeke in the sanctuary is a “conservation success story”. Tīeke were once widespread in the South Island but introduced predators made them extinct on the mainland by 1900, with small populations left to live on surrounding islands. Their song and friendly nature are why operations manager Nick Robson has the tīeke as his pick for bird of the year. “Here is the only place in the mainland where you can see them and every day we can hear them from our office,” he says. Voting closes on Sunday, 31 October. Vote at www.birdoftheyear.org.nz

The accepted proposals include housing development on Achilles Ave and Rutherford St, Marsden/Ngawhatu Valley Area, Maitahi Village and in Glenduan/Horoirangi. The plans project a total of about 3000 homes to be built, with 2000 of those in Stoke. Council to adapt two-ward voting system: Mayor Rachel Reese’s proposal for a four-ward system has narrowly lost to a mixed two-ward voting system, to be used for next year’s election.

Alleged racist attack on well-known father of three Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Well-known community member Yusuf Corten is reeling from an alleged racial attack he suffered while trying to resolve a business matter. The owner of Kebab Kitchen on Bridge St was having difficulties contacting his local gas supplier after they told him his license had expired and his monthly bill doubled. Yusuf made headlines after offering those in need of food, free kebabs to help them get by. He says that after he called his gas supplier’s branch manager multiple times, leaving texts and voicemails, Yusuf visited Elgas Nelson in Stoke. Driving into the carpark, he says he was confronted by a staff member as the two cars came into close proximity. Winding down his window to greet the man with a “hello brother,” Yusuf says he was met with racially-motivated abuse.

Yusuf says he got out of his car as the man allegedly continued his tirade. Making matters worse, Yusuf says his daughter was also exposed to the incident, which left her upset.

Yusuf says he put the incident to the back of his mind as he finished his shift at the shop, before feeding and putting his children to bed. However, the stress of the incident stayed with him. “When I am alone, I started thinking about why he would talk to me like that. “I am trying very hard to look after my family but this

one broke me.” In a statement at the time, Elgas said it took the allegations very seriously and was currently investigating the incident. “Elgas expects every employee to follow our Code of Business Integrity and we do not condone behaviour of this nature.” Elgas says, as a result of its investigation, the customer’s issues have been “resolved” and the case has now been closed. Yusuf disagrees and says nothing has been resolved. The father of three is renowned in Nelson for his generosity, offering free meals to anyone in need. The community rallied around him to help with financial support following the death of his wife earlier this year. He has visited 27 countries in his lifetime but says this is the first time he has ever experienced a racist attack. “I have seen it on the news and Facebook but never had it happen to me.”

‘Talented wahine’ takes top honour Sara Hollyman Editor

sara@topsouthmedia.co.nz

A Nelson woman has become the first female in 15 years to win an esteemed national outdoor instructors award and one of only five to ever do so. Jen Riley was awarded the supreme ‘Tall Totara’ award as part of the New Zealand Outdoor Instructors Association (NZOIA) outdoor excellence awards last week. Jen, who has a long list of qualifications in the outdoor sector, is a true embodiment of the Tall Totara award, according to NZOIA chair Gemma Parkin. “Male recipients have dominated this award for the last 15 years, so it is great to see a talented wahine emerge to take the honours,” she says. Gemma says Jen is a natural-born leader and the award recognised the exceptional level of skill she demonstrates in all her pursuits, as well as her dedication to inclusive practices. “Jen is one of those people who knows what she wants and goes out and gets it. “Colleagues describe her as an ‘inspirational role model’ to young people, women and girls,

Photo: Sharon Nicholas. and as someone with a strong commitment to genuine inclusion of te ao Māori.” Jen is one of the few instructors in the country to hold qualifications in such a wide range of outdoor recreation pursuits – and keep them all current. She is NZOIA-accredited in kay-

ak, rock, bush, sea kayak and canoe disciplines. Jen has tutored at NMIT and Aoraki Polytechnic, instructed at Outward Bound and currently sits as the outdoor recreation manager for Recreation Aotearoa, as well as freelance instructing and editing the NZOIA

magazine. She is also a qualified teacher who teaches English as a second language. She manages to do all this while raising her fiveyear-old son. Jen says she is “incredibly humbled, honoured and pretty darn stoked” to be named as this year’s recipient.

“I never wanted to win or be awarded any job in my career simply because I’m a girl. A friend of mine recently said ‘for goodness sake Jen, own the fact that you are a mum, a good kayaker and you can assess people in the bush’, so I’m slowly getting my head around that.” She says she wants to not only for her own sake, but for the sake of young women. “So they can see that being in the outdoors is something you can make a career of. Juggling the balance of being a mum is a juggling act, but it’s worth it.” She says being able to share the outdoors with her son is something pretty special. “Being in the hills, in places I can only get to on my feet, my bike, or my kayak makes me happy and satisfied and that spills over to him.” Her son has nearly been to the top of Mt Arthur and rafted the Clarence River last year as a notquite five-year-old. Jen says after all she has experienced in life, being in a kayak, surfing a wave on a river, is still the thing that makes her smile the biggest. The annual awards recognise the high achievements of those involved in outdoor recreation.

Big demand for tiny homes

Kate Russell The demand for tiny homes is “hotting up” as more Nelsonians look for alternative housing solutions amid a frustrating property market. Local tiny home company Ruru Homes says the demand is bigger than they can cope with. “We build 50 homes per year and

finish one per week, but pretty much all of them have sold,” owner Fran Huelsmeyer says. “We are almost sold out until March.” She says most enquiries are from people who cannot afford to buy a house - this includes retirees, young families, and couples getting into the market, and also people wanting an ‘instant bach’. Tiny homeowner Margie Ether-

ington has been living in her 10.75m by 3m tiny home in Hope since July 2020 and is a South Island agent for another company, NZ Tiny Homes. “I’ve had more than 190 enquiries in the past year, but now it’s really hotting up,” she says. Margie’s tiny home cost her $160,000. “To me, it’s an absolute no-brain-

er for young people. If you are newly married and you’re looking for your first house, you should go for it.” She leases her 12 square-metre piece of land for $119.50 per week, including water. She pays her own electricity - the power bills are $30 in the winter and $15 in the summer. She designed her deck, made from 66 pallets which

leads out to a garden full of flowers, vegetables, and herbs. NZ Tiny Homes owner Jamie Cameron says the demand for tiny homes is “definitely” growing and the type of buyers are changing. “Initially it was retirees and some divorcees, but now it’s also young couples and families. They just want to own something.” Margie says she was inspired to live in a tiny home after seeing them online. She had just moved from a house that was sold after her five-year relationship ended. She had put in most of the deposit for the house but had to split the sale proceeds evenly. She ended up with around $140,000. “One day I saw a tiny home on Facebook, and I started talking to people, saying ‘I think I found my home’. I worked my arse off and saved enough to buy one.” Margie says she doesn’t lack anything living in a tiny home. “We don’t need to keep up with the Joneses. I could have mortgaged myself and lived in a grotty little dunger.” But the biggest silver lining has been becoming debt-free. “At the moment, I’m saving hand over fist. I’ve managed to save $5k in two months - and that’s on a basic wage.” Margie says she hopes to continue to inspire Nelsonians to consider the tiny home life.

Blenheim’s Covid case prompts vaccinations

Nelson’s exceptional ‘loo lady’

Staff Reporter

When Estelle Courtney was first asked to take a position cleaning the Nelson Superloo, her initial reaction was ‘no thank you’. Five years on, the 65-yearold says its been the highlight of her career and has no plans to give it up. OCS New Zealand employee Estelle has become a somewhat recognisable figure in the Nelson community, and one that has the ability to bring a smile to people’s faces with her infectious positivity. “My role is so much more than cleaning. I just love meeting the people that come through every day from all walks of life and parts of the world. I have the chance to make a real difference in their lives – it’s all about valuing people.” Estelle was one of more than 40,000 cleaners across the country who were celebrated as part of ‘Thank Your Cleaner Day’ last week. Estelle is well known for the daily fresh flowers that adorn the Montgomery Square Su-

The news of a positive Covid-19 case in Blenheim has spurred Nelsonians to get their jab. On Saturday an unvaccinated man tested positive in Blenheim for Covid-19. He was isolating and his close contacts have returned negative tests. They are all isolating and being managed by Nelson Marlborough Health. As of 23 October, the Top of the South region had 85 per cent of the population with a first dose of the vaccine and 73 per cent with two doses. However, Nelson Tasman had a lower rate with only 70 per cent of the eligible population fully vaccinated. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has set a goal for DHBs to get to a 90 per cent vaccination rate before moving into a new Covid-19 management system with more freedoms. Nelson Bays Primary Health figures on Saturday reported more than 600 vaccinations administered since Saturday 10am, with 309 of those receiving their first dose. The Nelson Covid Vaccination Centre vaccinated 163 patients, 85 receiving their first dose, while at Richmond’s Queen St Vaccination Centre on the same day, 90 of the 215 vaccinated received their first dose. On Sunday, 50 out of the 95 who visited the Nelson Covid Vaccination Centre were receiving their first dose, and in Richmond, of the 152 vaccinated, 84 were first time visitors. People living in Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough, in particular, are being asked to monitor the Ministry of Health’s locations of interest page.

But it’s the extra mile she takes for people in need where Estelle’s community spirit and work ethic really shines. She has taken visitors into her home on multiple occasions after hearing of their strife while travelling, but she says that’s just her nature. “Kindness is so important, I’ve had so many people in there from all walks of life and you’d never believe the

dark places that they can be in. Sometimes just a friendly face and someone who cares just makes life so much easier, and it doesn’t cost anything.” She says she wants the superloo to be a place anyone feels comfortable coming to, no matter what the problem is. She has even taken the initiative to have spare clothes behind the counter. Nelson City Council group manager community services, Andrew White, says Estelle’s service goes way beyond her job description and

she has helped foster a sense of community. “Estelle was a finalist in the community hero category of our civic awards in 2019 and I think that shows just how much she is valued by the people of Nelson,” he says. Estelle says Covid has proven just how important cleaning is and encourages people to consider it as a fulfilling job opportunity. “We need and deserve to be valued, and I really am, OCS is such a great company to work for. “I’m rich in this job.”

Cawthron develops world-first pain relief Erin Bradnock Reporter

erin@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Nelson’s Cawthron Institute has caught the attention of Harvard Medical School in the quest to create a worldfirst, algae-based, pain medication. Cawthron’s world-leading algae researchers were recently contacted by the medical team at Boston Children’s Hospital (a Harvard Medical School teaching hospital) and a Chilean biotech company called Proteus to perfect the manufacturing of neosaxitoxin. Neosaxitoxin is a potent toxin that can be combined with existing local anaesthetics to use as pain relief during and after surgery in postoperative patients. At Cawthron’s new Stoke National Algae Research Facility, the team can produce between 20 to 30 grams of the toxin, the first in the world to manufacture it. “Twenty grams might not sound like much, but one gram of this toxin can be used for 25,000 doses,” Cawthron natural compounds section head Andy Selwood says. Researchers have estimated global demand at 500 grams a year. “That’s not to say we couldn’t

Algae team members Hannah Greenhough and Hannah Hampton help ensure the growth and maintenance of the algae. Hampton says it was motivating to see Harvard doctors speak about their excitement for the product. Dr Charles Berde, co-founder of the Pain Treatment Center in the Department of Anesthesiology, Critical Care and Pain Medicine at Boston Children’s Hospital and professor of anaesthesia at Harvard Medical School,

has been co-leading the development of a neosaxitoxinbased local anaesthetic for more than two decades. “Our motivation to develop this drug was to provide more effective pain relief for both children and adults following surgery,” Charles says. “Opioid analgesics produce side effects and can be addictive, so there is a great interest in developing better non-opioid approaches to pain relief.” Another institute had struggled to produce the same quality product, leaving Whakatū’s Cawthron team as the preferred supplier. “They were super impressed

They have so far proved “very good safety and effectiveness” in achieving a more prolonged duration of local anaesthesia for infiltration and nerve blocks compared to traditional local anaesthetics. Andy explains the medication is designed to last in the body for up to two to three days with just a single injection. This reduces the need for the potential harm of addictive opioids and patients sitting in hospital beds.

Allan reaches out with healing hands Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Growing up in a predominantly pakeha suburb, Allan Heta Cleaver had little exposure to te reo Māori. Allan grew up in Mt Wellington after being adopted into a bicultural whānau. He says his mother was discouraged from speaking the Māori language and was part of the urban migration of Māori. “This was all about assimilation and being like the Pakeha in order to be successful. That was

her way of thinking, so we were brought up like that too.” As an ‘urban Māori’, It was not until Allan moved to Whangarei at 18 that he first heard people speaking te reo outside of the marae. “I lived in a small community and started learning te reo which was mind-blowing, it was like a missing link in my life and gave me a sense of self.” Allan embraced his culture, tracing his lineage to Ngāpuhi, Tūwharetoa, Scotland and Ireland. However, after working in a hospital, he began suffering back issues. “There was a lot of lifting of pa-

Opinion

Your Voice Content choices that support community: Institutional racism was alive and kicking at Nelson City Council last week when the mayor took a last-minute proposal put forward by a lobby group to push for a ward model that would disenfranchise Māori voters by restricting them to select just one councillor out of 12. This reduction in the vote for Māori is a calculated reduction in voting power, to a much smaller proportion than for other voters. The most concerning thing about the four-ward proposal promoted by the mayor is that it came directly from a lobby group with their own agenda, was not consulted on with the community, and went against council staff recommendations. It almost became our voting system and would have entrenched inequality of access to democracy. I am sure that each of the councillors who voted for the mayor’s proposal will insist that they did not intend to discriminate against Māori, but this is what happens when you take a rushed policy lifted from a third party without external scrutiny.

It also happens when those councillors don’t think through the impact on Māori. Why not? Because none of them are Māori. This is why having diversity around the council table is so important. Decision makers make choices that reflect their own experience and none of them saw the racism in this policy, because none of them have ever experienced it. But the racism is there nonetheless, and this is how institutional racism continues to happen, hiding in the shadows of policies voted on without insight into their real-world impacts. The introduction of a Māori ward is a good step, but the price should not be stripping voting power from Māori voters. Ngā mihi nui, Sarah Sharp New wards system for Nelson City: Dear Madam, Last week, the Nelson City Council considered the way in which ratepayers would vote for councillors in next year’s local body elections. To council’s credit, there was the opportunity extended to ratepayers to have input on a number of options regarding a ward system for Nelson City.

Opinion editorial@nelsonweekly.co.nz facebook.com/nelsonweekly topsouthmedia.co.nz

Most will understand that the need for a ward system has come about due to council agreeing on that occasion undemocratically, to a Māori ward being introduced. The Nelson Citizens Alliance made a submission suggesting that alongside the Māori ward, there should be four wards with three councillors in each. The alliance view is that ratepayers would benefit firstly from a ward structure that is spread and specific to all areas of the city, and secondly that ratepayers would be far better represented if those elected were more individually accountable for their performance as councillors within those wards. That recommendation was unfortunately not agreed to by council, which preferred a lesser number of wards. During the long wards debate, councillor Brian McGurk made this incredulous statement: Smaller wards could be dominated by older and more conservative voters, and because of that, more liberal views might get lost. That viewpoint, which has no credibility, would be considered an insult by most older voters and councillor McGurk needs to start understanding that Nelson’s community of older voters

are not constrained by what he implies as ‘conservative thinking’ and our history as a city clearly shows that. Best councillor McGurk places his Labour Party affiliations and attitude of mind to one side and concentrates on doing the job he was elected for.

Restoring memories one photo at a time

Erin Bradnock Reporter

erin@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Stoke resident Ilya Shchukin is using his unique photo restoration skills to revitalise people’s fading photos. From colouring centuries-old photos to erasing sun damage, mould and mildew, Ilya has taken his experience working in world-class galleries to fixing family heirlooms. A decade ago, Ilya began work back home in Russia in the country’s largest art galleries, scanning centuries-old photography, artwork and writings to create digital libraries. “I’d say I digitally converted over 100,000 photos. Some from the 18th century and some made before the 1917 revolution.” It was the wisdom of a wedding photographer that turned his eye to personal photo restoration. “When my wife and I had our wedding, we were told the photos were not for us but for our children and grandchildren,” he says. Ilya came to Aotearoa in 2019 to scope out a new place to call home. The plan was to be joined by his wife and son, who are now stuck back home in Moscow due to Covid-19 restrictions. He began to reimagine family photos and old pictures he would find at op shops, including one of an unnamed ANZAC soldier. Ilya works from photoshop, carefully scanning old film photos onto his computer and tablet set-up. The work involves removing dark spots, mildew damage, fading due to sunlight to bringing colour to black and white photos. He practised with family photos and old pictures he would find at op shops, including one of an unnamed ANZAC soldier. “I’ve been studying about New Zealand infantry. I’m very interested in visiting local museums to learn more about ANZAC soldiers and offer enhancement work,” he says. Restoring soldiers photos holds a personal appreciation, having served five years in the army back home in Russia. An early project included one of his grandfather who had served in World War II, just a tiny 28mm by 25mm photo he was able to enhance to 13cm by 13cm. “It was one of the first colourisations I did, he was soldier awarded with the highest military badge,” he says. He says he does the work to preserve and honour people’s memories. “Once an older lady cried when I returned her restored photo, when she saw her mother and sister as they were before they were gone years ago.” Ilya says it’s not uncommon for recipients to get emotional when their memories are returned back to them. “I hear a lot of personal stories. Older men in their 70’s and 80’s, they come back to that day when they were young in the photos,” he says. Ilya has been operating his at-home, one-man business Save Your Memories NZ since 2019.

Ecogirl asks locals to clean up their act Jo Kent Reporter

jo@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Sophie Weenink is asking locals to help keep our region tidy as part of Clean Up Week 2021. The 16-year-old environmentalist usually hosts large scale beach clean events, but due to Covid-19, has had to postpone the one she’d scheduled for this weekend. “I usually get over 250 people turning up to my beach cleans, so I was worried about breaking Level 2 protocols and called it off.” However, she says that doesn’t mean people can’t organise their own individual clean-ups around the region. “All you need is a rubbish bag, gloves and a willingness to make a change.” She says the most common finds on a clean-up are takeaway packaging, straws, disposable coffee cups, cigarette butts and abandoned plastic bags of dog Sophie Weenink with volunteers at a previous clean-up event.

Forsyth Barr welcomes new clients to its modern new premises Established in 1936, longstanding New Zealand company, Forsyth Barr, has built a strong reputation for providing personalised investment advice built on key values around integrity and honesty. “The company has been expanding nationwide and locally our team has grown from four to eight in the last three years,” says Investment Adviser/Nelson Manager, Dave Schaper. Just before lockdown, the Forsyth Barr team moved into its brand new, architecturally designed premises at 96 Collingwood Street. The company’s new office is modern, light and inviting for clients. During the past three years, the company has welcomed three new Investment Advisers onto its team – Charles Mackie, Alyce Graf, and Andrew Dravitzki. “I joined Forsyth Barr in 2019,” says Charles, who moved to Nelson after working in financial markets in the UK and Australia for 12-13 years. “The local team here are very capable

and knowledgeable, which made it appealing for me to join the company. We advise clients on investing in the share and bond markets both in NZ and around the globe, building investment portfolios to meet their financial needs.” “The property market has been running ‘hot’ across the country and ongoing regulatory changes from the reserve bank and government has meant it’s becoming harder for landlords,” says Charles. “So, this makes our world more attractive to investors seeking diversification.” Andrew joined the firm after 20 years in the banking industry in Nelson, following Westpac entering into a strategic partnership with Forsyth Barr. Westpac chose Forsyth Barr as a partner as it wished its investment clients to have an industry leading experience. “I particularly enjoy the experience of meeting with clients who are looking to build their personal wealth over a long period and providing investment solutions

Habitat for Humanity Nelson celebrates 25 years This November, Habitat for Humanity Nelson is celebrating 25 years of existence, so the charitable organisation is planning an eventful month to mark this amazing milestone. On November 1st, birthday events include free birthday cake with purchases at Nelson ReStore and a 25 percent discount at Motueka ReStore. Both Restores will be holding fundraising raffles throughout the month, with heaps of great prizes. The profits will go towards building a children’s play area at the Habitat Hub, and monies raised from the Motueka raffle will go towards the new Motueka van. On Friday, 19 November, The Buzz Fashion Show will showcase ReStore’s great range of fashion. Watch out for other events happening at The Habitat Hub.

The houses that Julian built In the 1970s, Millard and Linda

Fuller (USA), started an organization called Habitat for Humanity. By 9 February, 1988, HFH had built over 70,000 homes in over 1700 locations in 58 countries. In 1996, Julian Shields started a new affiliate in Nelson. Now, in 2021, Habitat for Humanity is celebrating 25 years of helping families in the Nelson Bays region. HFH is most well-known for its Progressive Home Ownership Programme (PHO). This rent-tobuy process focuses on partnership with families. It is designed for low- income whanau who otherwise would not be able to achieve home ownership.

Local builds The first HFH house in Nelson was located on St Anne Place. Thirteen families applied. Tradies gave their precious time and expertise. The house dedication was held in December 1998, and that tradition of gathering for a bless-

In 2002, the second house was completed in nine days by Nelson volunteers and American Global Village volunteers, becoming the 105th house in New

Zealand. In 2003, volunteers built the third Nelson home, in which triboard wall and ceiling panels were introduced as a time and space180saver. 50 That year, St Lawrence Street Advanced Electrical

became the address for house number four, with ‘floor abiding’ police officers helping to lay the floor. Between 2004 and 2019, a further 16 homes were built on Wolfe Street, St Lawrence Street, Carleton Street and two in Motueka, with the help of volunteers, local churches and police, and for house number 8, the NZ Army volunteered their assistance. Houses twenty-two and twentythree were built on Kawai St, with help from a Canadian team. Even at the age of 78, Julian was still on site. The Nelson affiliate then helped to shift a house to Riwaka (house 24) and renovate it for the next lucky family. This marked the end of an era for the houses that Julian built, and neighbouring houses twentyfive and twenty-six, in Motueka, bring Habitat Nelson up to their 25th year anniversary. That’s a total of 26 houses in 25 years; a record to be proud of for sure. Unfortunately, Julian passed before seeing this milestone. Julian will always be a piece of every house, every home that is built by the Nelson Affiliate. 50

Additional local builds Over the past few years, Nelson Habitat has also built three units for social rentals, as well as purchasing a house used for emergency housing, which is managed by the Salvation Army. The Nelson affiliate partnered with one person to purchase their home through their Affordable Rental Programme. A team of volunteers then renovated the house to make the home wheelchair accessible throughout the house.

rentals. Further development includes 8 more houses planned for Stoke and 5 in Richmond. In addition, NMIT and Habitat Nelson have partnered to create three new houses. These houses would love to have sections to call home. Habitat Nelson is exploring new options to provide housing options. Cabins for Community are currently being built at NMIT – watch this space for a future cabin development launch.

Partner Families Families interested in Habitat for Humanity are required to attend a public meeting, to learn about the criteria and application process. A selection team reviews the applications and conducts interviews before making the final decision. As part of the agreement to partner with HFH families, they must contribute 500 sweat equity hours toward the build of their home. Sweat equity can include numerous options, ranging from working at the build site to volunteer-

Global Village Builds The Habitat for Humanity Global village programme involves teams travelling to another country to build a house. For several years, Nelson welcomed teams from USA, Canada, and Australia to help with our building programmme here. However, this was discontinued in 2017, due to a perception that there are other places in the world where help is needed more. Nelson’s involvement with the HFH Global Village began in 2009, and many local representatives have travelled to South East Asia, Nepal, Cambodia, Shri Lanka and Fiji to build homes for the locals living there. Covid currently has this programme on hold.

ReStore Nelson and Motueka Habitat’s non-profit ReStores accept and resell quality new and gently pre-loved goods. All proceeds help to fund Habitat for Humanity’s local housing programmes and initiatives. ReStore Nelson opened in September 2015 and was originally

located on Quarantine Rd. In addition to accepting and reselling your typical items, ReStore boasted a DIY section that drew an untapped market. The success of the first ReStore motivated the opening of a second ReStore in 2018, in Motueka on the High Street. The shop on Quarantine Road soon outgrew the premises and a bigger, better Restore moved into the old Suburban Club in 2020. ReStore started out with one paid employee and a handful of volunteers, and its tremendous growth has allowed for additional paid staff members. The store is environmentally-focused, with a keen eye for reducing waste in our landfill. One weekend their pop-up shop made $800, and saved 800 items from the local landfill, as customers were able to purchase clothing items for a dollar. A ‘community closet’ was also kindly donated to hold items that are free to the community. There are 18 ReStores across New Zealand, all with their very own flavour and all asking you to shop, donate, volunteer. ReStore Nelson usu-

Shakespeare comes to your garden Kate Russell Standing on her brand-new deck one night, Laura Irish had an idea. The local actor was feeling down about the slew of Covid-caused show cancellations. “I thought, ‘this deck is bigger than most stages, and we’ve got a bunch of talented actors with nothing to do’.” She thought they could perform a raucous version of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ in people’s gardens. Thus, ‘The Barden Party’ was born. You can book the cast of eight to come to your backyard and perform their

version of the classic Shakespeare comic fantasy. Laura says she is hoping to bring a spark of joy in a difficult time. “The arts have taken a massive hit over the last 18 months. Everything has been cancelled. Venues can’t hold enough people to justify putting on a show. So, people can book us to come to their houses, starting next month.” She says its a great way to provide some joy for your friends and neighbourhood and they have already have 15 bookings, including interest from Wellington, Dunedin, and Christchurch.

Laura describes the show as “accessible and understandable Shakespeare”. It’s family-friendly and includes popular tunes from Billie Eilish, The Beatles, and George Michael. “I feel like this is one of the best shows I’ve been in, quality-wise.” Laura says people can choose the price they pay. You can either ask each of your guests to bring $15-$20 to pay the actors at the end, or the host can pay the troupe a flat fee. Or you can do a bit of both. Shows can be booked on any available date on the calendar at www.fa cebook.com/thebardenparty

A group of young Nelsonians have shared their take on climate change in the new exhibition ‘Through the eye of Whakatū’. The 16 students were selected for a project spearheaded by Track Zero, a charity that uses the power of the arts to deliver climate action on a path to a zero-carbon Roald Sayer economy. The students, aged 10-15, first attended workshops with earth scientists Dr Jamey Stutz and Claudia Moore before being taught camera and photography skills by professional photographers Raymond Sagapolutele and Tatsiana Chypsanava. They were then tasked with taking their own shots, before submitting one photo for the exhibition. Track Zero founder Sarah Meads says it’s all about young people sharing their views and ideas on the climate and its future. “We hope that with every project it is about storytelling to ignite change to tackle the climate crisis.” Roald Sayer, 12, says he learnt a lot from the project, but valued his new-found camera skills most. He chose to take photos at the beach with his final shot of a crab with a wave crashing around it now on display in the exhibition. “I chose the beach because of the sea life; we’ve got to look after it.” The photos will be displayed in the windows of the Nelson Provincial Museum until 31 October.

Haven Motors is a well-established Nelson business with a long history, moving into the 21st century with enthusiasm and energy, as well as embracing the new technology that comes with today’s cars. An expansive additional new service centre, not far from the showroom has been established to provide plenty of space for the wide range of vehicle servicing facilities they offer. Owner Mike Smith points out that they are able to service any brands but specialise in Mazda, BMW, Volkswagen, Skoda and now Audi. He and his staff are delighted that the new space includes three new hoists,

vast workshop facilities and, with its high ceilings, allows them to service campervans as well. Long gone are the days when car sales businesses were the realm of men and Haven Motors has eight women on the staff. With a high degree of knowledge about vehicles they are also the warm and friendly faces of the showroom and parts department. The former is expansive and bright, with comfortable spaces for clients to sit and discuss purchases of both new and second hand vehicles, or to just gather information. Long gone too are the hard-sell salespeople that car yards used to have a reputation for. Haven

Motors is a relaxed, easy going place that is much more about helping people feel at home and where their needs are listened to carefully. Sales and finance manager Struan Robinson has been with Haven Motors for eight years. He had worked in banking and finance for a number of years before the opportunity came along for a complete change. Having grown up with a father who loved vintage cars, he became a car enthusiast while very young. “It is my passion and my job,” he says. “What could be better than that? I get to meet a wide range of fantastic people, many of whom re-

we aim to provide the same high quality of customer service across the board,” says Struan. “Keeping vehicles serviced regularly is so important and we often pick them up from people’s homes for them. It is all part of the ongoing relationship.” As well as providing private vehicles to customers with a range of needs in Nelson and further

formance award, and in March this year a VW Regional Service Department Award. “It’s the people who make a difference,” he says. “We are excited to have the new service area as we have been at capacity on this site for some time.” In the current climate, the biggest problem the company faces is a genuine shortage of new vehicles. “Covid has really upset the transportation systems around the world, closed vehicle factories, as well there is the ongoing semi-conductor shortage,” Mike continues. “There are some models we can supply, but with limited stock arriving in the country, many customers are

having to order their favourite models in advance. This could go on well into 2022.” Service manager Olly McPherson epitomises the phrase “service with a smile”. Like Struan, he thoroughly enjoys meeting the wide range of customers that come through the doors. “I also love the new technologies like lane assist, cruise control and blind spot monitoring,” he says. These are the integrated systems on new cars that “pretty much allow them to drive them themselves,” he says. All the new vehicles Haven Motors sells have to have the 5 star safety rating. “Every day is different,” he says,

“and every new development exciting.” Technicians now spend a great deal of time in ongoing training to keep up with the new developments. “We’ve got fantastic technology here to scan and diagnose vehicles for problems, and can repair them so much more quickly than in the past,” he says. “Essentially, our teams in the workshops are not mechanics but rather, technicians. This year we also received an `Apprentice of the Year' award from MTA.” Despite the popularity of new vehicles, Haven Motors sells many second-hand ones. “It doesn’t matter whether a customer wants a new vehicle or a late model one,

afield, Haven Motors looks after many business and emergency vehicles. “The constant variety contributes to our enjoyment of this business”, says Mike. “We have plenty of staff on hand to assist service and parts customers. If you are considering purchasing a vehicle, call and arrange a test drive/appointment with Dan or Struan,” he says.

Final proposal for representation arrangements for the 2022 local elections Submissions On 19 October 2021 the Nelson City Council considered the submissions received on its initial proposal regarding the representation arrangements for the Council to apply for the local elections to be held on 8 October 2022. The Council received 21 submissions on its proposal. Six submissions were in favour of the Council’s proposal. Seven submissions did not comment directly on the Council’s proposal. Eight submissions contained objections to various elements of the proposal, as follows: •

Five submitters preferred a single general ward. Of these,

two would prefer ward-only voting, one would prefer a mixed voting system, and two did not comment on this. •

One of these submitters would also like to see a reduction in the total number of councillors to 11 councillors including the Māori councillor.

•

Three submitters would prefer a four ward model, two with ward only voting and one with a single at large councillor.

•

One of these three submitters would also be comfortable with a three ward/ ward-only voting model, and one with a large number such as six wards.

Final proposal Having considered all of the objections, the Council resolved to adopt its initial proposal as the Council’s final proposal. Key reasons for Council’s adoption of the final proposal, while acknowledging submissions that advocated for a different approach, include: •

A single general ward with ward-only voting would only allow those on the Māori roll to vote for the Mayor and the Māori ward councillor, while those on the general roll would be able to vote for the Mayor and 11 general ward councillor vacancies, creating a perceived imbalance in participation opportunities between those registered for the General and the Māori roll.

•

It is anticipated that a single general ward with mixed system voting would create a high level of confusion; as the general ward would encompass the full Nelson electoral boundary, ward councillors and at-large councillors would be campaigning for exactly the same area;

•

A three ward model can only achieve compliance if all councillors are elected by ward and also requires an increase in the total number of councillors which has not been supported by the community;

•

Models with larger numbers of wards also typically require a larger total number of councillors which has not been supported by the community; and

•

A four ward model and six ward model are not supported by information held on communities of interest in Nelson.

Therefore, see the final proposal over the page.

Plan now for unexpected outages With a little planning you can be prepared for an unexpected power outage.

Our national earthquake drill The New Zealand Shakeout, our national earthquake drill, is taking place 9:30am on Thursday 28 October. Many organisations around the country are planning special events and it is an ideal time for all of us to look at how prepared we are for a crisis and make sure we are as ready as we can be when a natural disaster occurs. As an essential service, Network Tasman has a comprehensive plan to ensure: z

our network is as resilient as possible to natural disasters; and

we are prepared to respond and restore power to our communities as quickly as possible should a natural disaster damage our electricity network.

Enhancing Nelson Tasman’s resilience Many of our customers live and work in rural areas so to enhance resilience following a disaster we have identified a number of rural schools where we have installed additional wiring that makes it easier and faster connect and share electricity from a mobile electricity generation unit. This project will allow these schools to function as community hubs in the event of an emergency.

Check your supplies and form a plan Now is a good time to check your earthquake supplies at home. Ideally, everyone should have enough food/ water/ batteries for three days or more. If possible, keep a second full gas bottle at home for BBQ cooking. Have a discussion with your family and form a plan, where to meet, who is picking the children up, etc. Talk to your neighbours and get to know your community.

With so few female opponents on offer, local champion boxer Christine Gillespie has decided to train them herself. The 30-year-old is opening her own boxing gym in Richmond after approaching local legend Barry Galbraith to train her. Prior to this, Christine was driving up to four hours every weekend in order to train in Picton. “I love those guys but the drive was a pain in the arse so I went and annoyed Barry. “He said he would coach me if I found somewhere to train.” After a short real estate search, Christine found her new home at 14 McGlashen Ave in Richmond. “I thought I might as well open for everyone to use,” she says. Christine quickly decked out the space with boxing gear, some of which was donated, while she has also made a significant personal investment to ensure the gym is well set up for success. Adorning the walls are iconic images of legendary figures in the sport: Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson and Katie Taylor. In a reflection of her own personal journey, Christine has named the gym ‘Hard Knox.’ “We feel like we’ve been knocked down and got up again, so it stuck. “There were a lot of weird names we came up with.” She is hoping to run childrens, womens, and mixed classes for people with a range of goals. “I would love to see a little girl

If people just want to come and get fit, they can.” Christine jokes that her gym might help with the perpetual issue of finding a match-up. “I need more people to fight, but, not only that, it would be nice to have more women,” she says. “Most events I go to there are one or two female fights and that’s about it.” To coincide with the opening of her gym, Christine is helping raise funds for mental health. With skipping being a huge part of her training, she is set to skip for one minute for every five dollars she receives.

As of writing, she had received $500, meaning she was already in for a long day. Christine knows firsthand how beneficial boxing can be for ones physical and mental health. “If you’re having a bad day, come smash the bag and you will feel better.” Just under five years ago, Christine was 30kg heavier, eating poorly and not exercising. Now, she is the New Zealand women’s bantamweight champion, in the top 84 for the Commonwealth Games, and helping shape the next generation of boxers. “I made it further than I ever dreamed of so anything on top of this is just a bonus.”

Canterbury Bay of Plenty Manawatu Southland vs vs vs vs Losing just five wickets, Wakatu ROUND 9 Tasman Waikato Hawke’s Bay Northland posted a competitive 190 after 40 overs, Jared Silvester and Sean Vern Mardon 27/38 Neal taking two wickets each.

Ryan Edwards 24/38 However, the hosts had no answers for O’Connor as he destroyed

Waimea’s hopes of a first win with a blistering spell of 7/26. After a rare failure with the bat, Harsh Visavadiya chipped in with 2/13 as Waimea were all out for just 90. Joseph says the pitch provided plenty of assistance. “It was a bit slow and low, so it suited the way I was bowling.” Despite the career best figures, Joseph was quick to deflect praise for his performance. “Harsh was keeping it tight from the other end and we were backed up by some really good fielding.” It was a low scoring affair at Lower Ngawhatu as Nelson College could muster just 88 from 39.3 overs. Athletic College Old Boys captain Ollie Jones-Allen was again in dominant form as he returned 4/15 with no Nelson player managing to get past 20. The defending champions looked to chase the total down in a hurry, needing just 19 overs to get over the line for the loss of six wickets. Greg Chitty scored a quick fire 32 with four sixes while Will Bixley gave his side something to cheer about with a four-wicket haul. This ensures ACOB keeps its superior net run rate over Stoke with both sides on 12 points with three wins from three. Nelson College and Wakatu remain win-less though this will change when the two sides meet this weekend. Round four fixtures: Nelson College vs Wakatu at Lower Ngawhatu. Waimea Toi Toi United vs Athletic College Old Boys at Jubilee Park. Stoke/Nayland vs Wanderers/Motueka. Matches start 11.30am.
