Steve Baigent has acquired 31-55 Bridge Street and further property at 126 Trafalgar Street, through his company Cephas Property.

Cephas Property is a Nelson family-owned business along with associated company Tinline Property, which is also behind the

development of Richmond Mall.

Steve says the move was an “exciting opportunity to contribute to the revitalisa- Steve Baigent tion the centre of Nelson” and that he has wanted to do a de-

“I am proposing a high quality, unique urban development with a range of options from boutique shops to larger retailers, and lunchtime and evening dining.

Plans for CBD FROM PAGE 1

Steve says the development would strengthen the CBD overall, potentially attracting more shoppers and urban residential developers.

“I have wanted to acquire enough land to develop a major project in Nelson for many years. It is not often this kind of opportunity comes along.”

The properties were all bought in recent months, he says.

“Recent market conditions have made the acquisition of these properties possible. Cephas Property already owned 50 per cent of the Trafalgar St property. The remainder have been acquired in the last few months.”

He says the development

is likely to be enclosed but with “plenty of glass” to provide an open airy feel.

He says Cephas Property is in very early discussions about the project with Nelson City Council, and is investigating options for the purchase of part of the car park directly behind 31-55 Bridge Street in Wakatu Square car park, to form part of the precinct.

The Maitai to Rocks Rd Shared Pathway is officially open for business after a longer than expected wait, but the question now is how long we will wait for it to be connected to Tahunanui.

Green Party co-leader and acting Associate Minister of Transport James Shaw along with Nelson mayor Rachel Reese cut the ribbon to officially open the $2 million shared pathway on Sunday, two months after the expected completion date.

The shared pathway connects the end of the Maitai pathway with the beginning of Wakefield Quay and cyclists say they felt “a lot safer” riding the new pathway, which caters for commuter cyclists as well as less confident, recreational cyclists.

James Shaw says that it’s another step in an ongoing process in the quest to build an integrating multi-model transport network for the region.

However, he acknowledges that there is still more work to be done.

“It’s a fantastic piece of infra-

“It’s pretty obvious that there is the next immediate bit that is going to be important if you want to really complete it.”

He was referring to Rocks Rd, where many cyclists and pedestrians feel unsafe travelling through to Tahunanui.

He says the Government’s vision is to have rapid transit, public transport, cycling, walking and roads as part of an integrated network in our towns and cities.

“What we’ve opened today is clearly an important part of that and there is a very important missing link here, which is

the bit between the end of this section and out by the airport.”

He says the next stage of the project, connecting the new shared pathway with the other end of Tahunanui, is currently in NZTA’s hands and they are “working through” it.

“It is going to take a bit of time to do that because of the interactions with the other roading and public transport.”

He says it’s “clearly linked” to whether the Southern Link goes ahead or not, as it will change the nature of the design on Rocks Rd, depending on the outcome.

James says NZTA understands how important a cycle and walkway are along Rocks Rd.

New environment centre manager looks to household suitability solutions Charles Anderson The new manager of the Nelson Environment Centre used to work with some of the biggest brands in the world, but now his sights are set on the difference acting local can make.

Anton Drazevick has just started in the role, after running a creative agency in Melbourne before working for the governmental agency which helped restore infrastructure in the aftermath of the Kaikoura earthquake.

Now, however, he wants to further the work that the environment centre does in helping educate the wider public about acting sustainably.

Last week, the Nelson Weekly featured a story about the waste that goes into landfill each year from local homes.

However, Anton says there are easy things that everyone can do to lessen their environmental footprint.

“We are blessed to be living in this country, so we need to lead by example. I think we have a responsibility to show other countries and the best practice is to look after your waste here and sort it yourself.”

NEWS Nelson average asking price almost $650k: The housing market is growing in confidence with a high number of new listings and a new all-time high average asking price for New Zealand. The national average asking price was $690,733, which is the highest since records began in 2007, combined with all-time highs in six regions. The average asking price for Nelson and Bays was $641,330, down 1.4 per cent from September 2017. The figures from realestate.co.nz show that new listings across the region have grown significantly compared with the same time last year. There were 358 houses for sale in Nelson Bays last month, which is more than 16 per cent growth compared with September 2017.

Nelson lighthouse gets new paint job: The Boulder Bank lighthouse is currently receiving some “routine maintenance” - namely a fresh paint job and is currently wrapped in scaffolding.

A Port Nelson spokesperson says the 18-metre-high lighthouse has been painted in stages over the past two years. This time the middle section is being painted. It will be the same shade of white that it already is, with a polyurethane paint that has been chosen to “stand up” to the elements. Port Nelson own around 7000 square metres of land around the lighthouse as well as the lighthouse itself.

It was only the second permanent lighthouse to be built in New Zealand and was first lit on August 4, 1862 and decommissioned in 1982, making it the longest running lighthouse in New Zealand.

Port Nelson’s strong profits point to strong region Charles Anderson Editor

charles@nelsonweekly.co.nz

The strength of Port Nelson’s financial result is a reflection of a regional economy in good heart, says the port’s chief executive.

Port Nelson last week reported a net profit after tax of $14 million, after increasing its revenue 15 per cent to $67.2 million for the financial year.

The port’s boss Martin Byrne says that cargo volumes were strong across the board, but it relied heavily on forestry, Martin fish, fuel and Byrne fruit.

“There are various industries that have done very well … we are just the gateway, we just facilitate the movement of those products.”

Martin says there was some pressures related to storage this year, but the port has worked to increase its capac-

Martin says log exports have doubled over the last three years as demand from China increased.

As trade within the United States remained strained under the present administration, that business had

increasingly gone to New Zealand, he says.

The growth of wine exports had also been strong with the company’s Quay Connect initiative, which helped create New Zealand’s largest on-port wine storage facility, helping create that.

At the company’s annual general meeting last Wednesday, Port Nelson chairman Phil Lough announced a further $1.5m dividend payment

would be made to shareholders in addition to the full year declared dividend of $5.5m.

Nelson City Council and Tasman District Council each own 50 per cent of the port.

Martin says the result is pleasing for him, but he was just part of a team.

“At the end of the day we’ve have some amazing people and without the support of importers and exporters we would be nothing.”

‘Low life’ theft at IHC charity shop Jonty Dine Locals living with intellectual disabilities who were hoping for a new wardrobe will have to wait a little longer after a "low life" theft at the Nelson IHC Charity Shop.

The shop’s delivery van, which was full of donated clothing, was broken into and stolen in the early hours of Wednesday morning last week.

Police recovered the van and arrested two suspects at 4am in Richmond.

Store manager Gill Burson says it was a pretty low thing to do.

"It's pretty sad when you have people who feel entitled to rob people with disabilities."

To clear out for their summer stock, the IHC shop held two days of free clothing giveaways, on the weekend prior.

"It was such a buzz to give back to the community that supports us and the response we got was awesome."

She says, following the giveaway there were over a hundred garments left which were put into the van to be delivered.

The van also contained crockery that was going to be donated to a couple of struggling families. "You shouldn't steal

She says the cost of repairing the van is just money that can’t go to the disabled community.

"They broke the window and hot-wired the van, so it has to be repaired which is quite an inconvenience."

The van will remain in police custody for an unknown period of time.

Gill says she hopes the perpetrators will one day understand the gravity of what they have

done. "They don’t know what is coming in their life, but they may have a child in the future who may unfortunately be born with a disability, and then they will think differently.”

Locals took to social media to condemn the callous crime.

"They have been referred to as low life, the public are pretty upset about it."

The Nelson IHC shop are seeking donations of quality furniture and clothing for the disabled community. To donate, call 544 4744.

The design of the proposed new Saltwater Creek bridge. Image: Nelson City Council.

New bridge for Saltwater Creek?

Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Nelson’s Saltwater Creek is one step closer to getting a muchneeded new bridge.

Last week, Nelson City Council’s works and infrastructure committee recommended that additional unbudgeted funding of $300,000 be approved to progress the project - although that figure could be brought down if a NZTA subsidy is approved.

The estimated $800,000 project already has secured Urban Cycle Funding (UCF) of $500,000 which is required to be spent by June 2019.

Whether council are prepared to make up the shortfall will be decided at the next full council meeting at the end of this month.

The project has been a long time in the making, with it originally being tendered in late 2017.

But tenders came in over budget and the contract wasn’t awarded.

The project was re-tendered

earlier this year and three conforming tenders were received.

The preferred and lowest tenderers price was $810,000, from Levin-based company, Edifice.

They are a specialised bridge contractor that has done extensive work in the region, including the Wairoa River swing bridge.

Council officers warned that if the project does not proceed now, the UCF funding will be lost, and there will be a risk that suppliers will not tender a third time.

The Saltwater Creek bridge connects the Maitai River Walkway with the QEII bridge underpass and a replacement structure has been part of council’s long-term goal of improving the connections from the city to the sea.

The new bridge is to be located 15m upstream from the existing bridge and will be "significantly" wider at 3m long, compared to the current one-way bridge, at 1.1m.

The bridge element equates to just under half of the total budget, with the majority cov-

ering work on the northern abutment to correct the levels and the gradients for the approaches to the bridge.

It will be clad in Garapa - the same hardwood used on the Maitai Walkway handrail.

If it gets the green light, work is likely to be undertaken in the new year with an estimated construction period of 21 weeks.

At Thursday’s meeting, councillor Matt Lawrey said he "loved the look" of the new structure, which was designed

by Stantec NZ Ltd and Jerram Tocker Barron Architects.

"This is a very exciting project and a great step in terms of connecting what we’ve done on the Maitai and taking people from the city to the sea."

Tim Skinner called the bridge a "sculpture in its own right".

"This is the kind of sculpture we should be spending our money on, showing both function and form."

Council officers said the old bridge has potential for re-use, with an idea to put it on the Wakapuaka Sandflats mooted at the meeting.

Planned power outages – what you need to know In order to carry out work safely on the electricity network we sometimes have to turn off the power.

While no restrictions apply to the days of the week or times of the day that we can schedule an outage, we try to choose times that are the least disruptive to the majority of people or least disruptive to the most energy-reliant customer affected.

If an outage will mostly affect residential customers, we try to schedule it on weekdays between 9:00am and 4:00pm. If it’s mostly going to affect commercial customers we try to schedule it outside of business hours or at one end of the business day. We also try to avoid affecting schools during term time.

Our aim is to provide at least two weeks’ notice of any planned shutdown to allow customers time to make arrangements for their particular situation. If your electricity connection will be affected by a planned shutdown you will receive a card in the post with the shutdown details on it. This card is sent to the postal address that is registered for the affected connection.

What happens if a shutdown is postponed?

In case weather or a network emergency prevents work from going ahead we always schedule an alternate date for the shutdown.

Network Tasman’s contractors make the decision based on whether the job can be done safely in the conditions present on the day. This means the decision is usually made on the morning the shutdown is planned. If the weather forecast is particularly bad, the decision may be made the day prior.

Some jobs can be done in the rain, while others cannot.

If a job is postponed or cancelled we notify our call centre and put an update on our website. A schedule of shutdowns and updates can be found at www.networktasman.co.nz/ temporary-interruption.

What happens if it takes longer than expected to restore power?

We provide our best estimate of the time required for the work to be safely completed. However, sometimes things don’t go to plan. Unforeseen factors can arise that affect the power restoration time. In these cases our contractors work to restore supply as quickly as possible.

We realise outages can be inconvenient but they’re necessary from time to time to keep your electricity network safe, reliable and fit for purpose.

Bikies ride for rescue helicopter Get Ayla-Rose to the beach

Jonty Dine Reporter

Kate Russell

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

It was nine months ago that Dennis Wells called on the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter after a brutal motorbike crash which left him fighting for his life.

Riding up his daughter’s driveway on January 20, the 60-year-old made a crucial misjudgment and went over the handlebars, puncturing his lung, fracturing ribs, dislocating his shoulder and causing bleeding out his ear.

On Sunday Dennis got back on his Harley for the first time since the crash, riding in support of the charity that saved his life.

He was one of almost a hundred bikers from the Top of the South Motorcycle Club who took part in the sixth annual Daylight Savings Fundraiser Ride, which took place on Saturday.

Starting at the rescue helicopter base at Nelson Airport, the convoy cruised to Tapawera before heading to Moutere and finishing with a beer at the Speight’s Ale House.

Club vice president Phil

Lovegrove says the annual run is a highlight for the biker community.

He says it was an obvious choice to support the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter.

"They support us.”

The club raised $1700 during last year’s ride and hoped to better that figure

this time.

"We just want it to get bigger and better.”

Phil says there is a big emphasis on safety during the ride.

"We are supporting the rescue helicopter, but we don’t want them picking any of us up today.”

Now fully recovered from

his immense injuries, Dennis Wells says he is excited about his first ride since the crash.

"It’s a disease and once you’ve caught it, there is no cure.”

He insists he has no fear following the accident.

"It’ll be just like riding a bike.”

Eight-year old Ayla-Rose Wagner dreams of going to the beach with her siblings this summer.

Hopefully that dream will become a reality, with her family having raised half the funds needed to buy her an allterrain wheelchair.

Ayla-Rose has Rett Syndrome, meaning she is unable to walk, talk and suffers from seizures. She also has a scoliosis and breathing issues.

“As she is getting bigger, it’s hard for us to carry her around the beach and she can no longer sit by herself,” says her mum, Jess Wagner.

The wheelchair Ayla needs is a Hippocampe.

It would allow her to be pushed on the sand and can be used in the water.

She can even float and swim in it.

So far, through a givea-little page, $4,157 has been donated towards the $8,000 cost.

Ayla-Rose Wagner, 8, has her heart set on a new wheelchair for the summer.

Ray White Nelson and Richmond have also come on-board and will donate $100 from each property sold during October, to the cause.

“Hopefully it will make the difference and get her to her end goal,” says Grant Chaney from Ray White.

Jess says that they are humbled by all community support they have received so far.

Local business people up for top honours Voting is open for the public to choose the region’s top business people as part of the annual Nelson Pine Industries Chamber of Commerce Business Awards.

“These are two new categories for the Business Awards, and we were thrilled with the response to our call for nominations,” says chamber chief executive Grant Kerr.

Nine-year-old Leo Layton is on a mission to save the environment - and build an empire at the same time.

The young entrepreneur has started his own business selling reusable beeswax wraps and food pouches, called KIT, at Little Beehive Coop.

Leo says the three crucial elements in producing the wraps - fabric, beeswax and an outlet - came together quite naturally.

His mum, Paula Layton, happens to be the director of the Little Beehive Co-op and a sewer with plenty of excess fabric. And Paula’s partner just so happens to be a beekeeper.

“The ideas just seemed fitting,” Paula says.

The Birchwood School student says he was already using similar wraps in his school lunchbox as an alternative to plastic wrap.

“If you used one beeswax wrap in your lunchbox every day, you would save the equivalent of 75 metres of plastic wrap over a school year,” he says.

Paula helped Leo investigate different techniques of making the wraps and they settled on a winning formula of beeswax, pine resin and either jojoba or coconut oil.

He chose the name KIT for his business, because it means ‘keep it together’.

As well making different sized square wraps for sandwiches, he also makes round ones to cover bowls with, as well as snack and sandwich pouches.

Leo says he goes into a “quite messy” production mode “about three times a week” and, so far, has made about $160 from shop sales.

“I’m going to put half back into the business and I’m also going to save up for a PlayStation 4.”

To check out Leo’s products, visit Little Beehive Co-op at 123 Hardy St or his Facebook page, called ‘KIT beeswax wraps’. Leo will also have his own stall at The Great Christmas Market at Founders Park on 25 November.

Wasteful Ways (Nelson Weekly, 25 September 2018) carefully.

The information that a waste to landfill is 598 kg a year per person was shocking, and I decided to calculate how much rubbish I actually produce.

In our household of two, we compost everything that can be composted and recycle everything that can be recycled, and yet every third Friday we place a rubbish bag at the edge of the pavement for collection. Since it was the evening before that particular Friday and the bag was ready to go out, I went to the garage and weighed it. It was slightly less than 5 kg.

Now, considering there are 52 weeks in a year, and we take out 5 kg of rubbish every third week, i.e. 17 times per year, we come to 85 kg per year.

Divided into 2, it gives us 42.5 kg of waste per person that goes to landfill from out household every year. And

while it’s more than I hoped for, it’s still 14 times less than the figure indicated in the article.

Who then make these 598 kg plus 555.5 kg that I underproduce? Do my neighbours do it?

It’s hardly possible. In fact, it’s next to impossible.

The explanation was at the end of the article where it was stated that 65% of rubbish comes from businesses, and only 35% from the households.

If this is so (and it does look real), why is the pressure to reduce waste is placed on residents, or mostly on residents, and not so much on businesses? Why don’t we ask companies to introduce changes into their practices? For example, you would expect supermarkets to dump a lot of food, and very few of them, and on a very limited scale, offer products with a near-expiring date at a discounted price.

At this point, I feel guilty to lay my hands on a plastic bag, but don’t I understand that a plastic bottle is equal to 10 to 12 plastic bags, and I can’t help not buying it because of the lack of alternatives?

It’s also easy to understand that stored in plastic bottles or plastic containers, milk, water, juices, honey, etc. get contaminated with plastic particles, and because it never happened in the history of mankind before, nobody knows how it may affect a human body in the long run.

Previous generations used glass bottles and jars, not plas-

Nelson Matters Last Friday was the Awards night of WOW and the right time to reflect on what an emotional journey this has been for what is rightfully a Nelson icon.

I was there in that rain soaked tent near Wakefield in 1987 when Dame Suzie Moncrieff staged the inaugural WearableArt show to the first of many amazed audiences. This year is the 30th show and 60,000 people will be wowed in the capital over three weeks, but its roots are and always will be, in Nelson.

The show programme, the company’s website and of course

the WOW Museum all proudly proclaim Nelson as the birthplace of WOW and that can never change. I love the history of the show and its incredible evolution. It was not invented at a university or a posh arts school, but in a small rural area.

The concept was literally ‘off the wall’. To take art off the wall and embellish the body – to be worn. Even today I believe it is best to have the WearableArt experience rather than try and understand the WearableArt explanation.

I also love the platform WOW gives to community artists.

Each year we see entries from everyone from plumbers, teachers, homemakers and nurses through to engineers who use WOW as a conduit for their creative outlet. One of the strengths of the WOW is its blind judging where repeat entrants, some of whom have professional design experience and can be previous winners, are judged alongside first time entrants with no experience. The entries stand on their own merits and are then individually choreographed to show them to their best advantage. I have friends who enter and they say seeing their crea-

tic, and those were of some standard sizes, so they were collected and returned to the seller for a refund, and then washed and used again commercially, they didn’t need to be broken and melted for the purpose of their recycling.

We certainly don’t want to be the first generation to pollute the planet to the extent of ruining the environment, but there’s only that much a household can do unless companies take the lead.

Nailya Sixtus

48 percent of All Blacks tickets went to locals: 48 percent. Fairly good. I guess. I hope the visitors had a great day.

Andrea Grocott

Editor’s note: Nailya is correct. The Nelson Tasman Waste Minimisation Plan says that 65 percent of all waste going to landfill is from commercial enterprises, which the Nelson Weekly reported.

NZ Post Paxter trial approved: This has got to be the worst decision NZ Post has ever made, and on a company that's already failing.

This was where the Super Fund investment went 2 years ago (lumped in with Kiwibank to make it look good) the worst decision National made (and I'm a National supporter) cut it loose. Murray Hart

What’s council doing for our CBD? While this does feel a bit like when Kodak got caught out by the advances in digital technology, and while we have a lot of catching up to do, it also feels like Nelson could be at a turning point.

It's great to see this council talking about "social experiences", "green spaces" and "a new community hub" for example. It's also good to see Council recognising that retail makes up only a small percentage of businesses in the CBD but let’s also recognise the CBD as a centre of creativity, of art and of education.

Vision Nelson

Win, win for Nelson economy I say. Superb weather that weekend so some repeat visitors ahead I'd say.

Sharyn Purves Thank you to all those who made this event happen. Felicity Thomson

tion on the catwalk, lit, choreographed and set to music is an unforgettable experience.

But WOW is not just about the show. It has also enabled Nelson and New Zealand to tell a broader story about who we are. Our old tourism branding around beautiful scenery and Maori culture was one dimensional.

WOW has helped us take the broader story of our creativity and our own unique style of art to the world. I enjoyed working with WOW in the 90s to assist with national television coverage and later to help with NZTE funding to take exhibition/mini

shows overseas.

I congratulate and pay tribute to Dame Suzie Moncrieff and sister Heather Palmer who started WOW and still guide it and those early sponsors who grasped the concept and could see the potential. I also acknowledge all those people who formed the large crew and Nelson artists who continue to create entries each year. This Nelson born event punches way above its weight on the global arts stage. Take a bow.

A shoebox for Christmas Locally Owned and Operated

Emily Beaumont

There’s nothing like seeing a child’s eyes light up as they unwrap presents on Christmas morning, but for many children around the world it’s a pleasure they’re often denied.

That’s where the charity Operation Christmas Child (OCC) steps in as the world’s

largest Christmas project of its kind, using gift-filled shoeboxes to send to children in poverty to ensure they have the enjoyment of unwrapping a present on Christmas Day. “Most of these children have never received a gift before and for some it’s life-changing,” says local coordinator Lynda Rea. Last year, 1203 gift-filled

shoeboxes through OCC were sent from our region to children in the South Pacific and South East Asia, they were combined with other shoeboxes from around New Zealand and Australia to make a total of 327,451 shoeboxes.

Preprinted shoeboxes are available now from the Richmond Mall and Manna Bookstore

in Montgomery Square to be filled with simple gifts from six categories: something to love, something to wear, something for personal hygiene, something to play with, something for school and something special.

Once filled the boxes need to be returned to the mall during or before Labour weekend they’ll then be sent to Auckland in

preparation to reach the children

by Christmas.

“It’s something simple that anyone can do. It’s amazing seeing videos of the kids when they open the boxes, it really melts my heart. I know we have issues here in New Zealand but this is a whole other level of poverty. It’s so nice to give to people less-fortunate than yourself,” says Lynda.

Victory still has Nelson’s best chips Kate Russell When Malia Klinge moved from Germany to New Zealand in 2012, she never imagined she would be running a fish and chip shop in Nelson.

But exactly six years later, she has managed to uphold the awardwinning standards of Victory Square Fish and Chips, and always with a smile on her face.

The St Vincent St eatery placed fifth in last month’s nationwide ‘best chip’ competition, among 500 entries. It was also the topplaced Nelson shop.

It’s not the first time the shop has claimed honours, in both 2011 and 2013 the shop took out first place in the regional competition.

Straight, crinkle-cut or chunky varieties leave their customers spoilt for choice, and Malia says the secret to a good chip is all in the spud.

“They company we get potatoes from is consistently good. Also, paying attention to detail and having well-trained staff helps.”

Malia says the business has been a family affair. All four of her children have worked in the shop, and up until three years ago her German husband Ekkehardt worked alongside her.

Auckland-raised Malia lived in

Germany for 23 years, where she and Ekkehardt ran a farm. “I left home in 1986 on my OE and I never went back,” she laughs.

But when Ekkehardt developed back problems and could no longer drive a tractor, they decided to move to New Zealand.

“Basically, it was our last chance

for an adventure,” she says.

They settled on Nelson due it being “similar” to where they lived in Germany and kept their eyes peeled for a business opportunity with a lifestyle. “We didn’t even think of a place like this until it came up. I said, ‘oh, do you think we could do that?’

“Being away from New Zealand for so long, I didn’t realise how iconic fish and chips still were.”

Even though people come from all over town for their fried goods, Malia says the best thing about being in Victory is the people.

Harbour Master lays down challenge Sara Hollyman Reporter

sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Water was the word for the annual Harbour Master Challenge at Tahunanui Beach on Sunday.

The challenge was aimed at community engagement and promoting safety before the water sports season really kicks off.

Deputy harbourmaster Amanda

Kerr says that the day was about showing off Nelson’s water sport clubs and provided an opportunity to get the harbourmaster’s safety messages out there.

“We want every single person who goes out on the water to come home safely, every day.

“It’s a really awesome opportunity for as many of the water sports clubs as possible to show who they are and for public to come

down to an environment that’s not intimidating, it’s all about fun and giving it a go.”

Surf Rescue provided an onwater demonstration rescuing someone from the open sea, and fun races like delivering a sausage to the coastguard patrol boat kept the public entertained.

Maitahi club members John Young and Katie Thurston say that the day was a great opportu-

the outrigger on it so it’s really safe, you can go fast and do some wicked turns.”

The pair took the opportunity to take members of the public out in the waka, so they too could experience the thrill of being in a Waka-ama.

Waka-ama, SUP, rowing, surflifesaving, surf-ski and the coastguard all had representatives to show off their club.

nity to show the public what their club is about and let the public experience being out on the water in a safe environment.

“The harbourmaster challenge is building year on year and it’s great to see people getting out there and giving it a go,” says Katie.

Each month the Nelson Weekly sits down with someone interesting doing something interesting. This week we meet 16-year-old local student Estella Romagnoli, who is fresh off winning Smokefreerockquest at a huge finals event in Auckland.

Have you always loved music?

Yes, Mum always said that I was singing before I was talking, apparently when my aunty used to play guitar to me when I was in the womb I’d be kicking flat out, so it really has been a life-long love.

Who inspires your music?

There are inspirations that make me love music, I love the lyrical side of music. I think it’s beautiful when you can have beautifully crafted lyrics that complement the melody. The first song that made me love lyrics is ‘Youth’ by ‘Daughter’, she has three different choruses with different lyrics that all tie in together. That’s something that I do quite often in my songs and I guess that was the first thing that inspired me to do that. I just love when things are very raw and emotional in music. I don’t really know what my sound is, generally I have words to describe everything but

days, which is kind of sad.

What would your life look like in 10 years if you could look in a crystal ball?

I could so give you an exact answer to that, firstly I am obsessed with pomeranians. I’ve always thought, when I’m older, I’ll live in a city in a cute little apartment with a flower garden on the terrace. I’ll have a red vintageylooking scooter and two pomeranians. That was my vision of my life when I was 12, but I would still love that to happen.

Smokefreerockquest winner Estella Romagnoli at the Vic Brew Bar on Trafalgar Street. Photo: Sara Hollyman.

I really don’t know how to describe my sound.

What are your plans after school?

If I can’t do music I’d like to be an editor at a publishing house, one that works with authors to bring out the best in characters and settings. I’ve always planned on going to Victoria University and studying English, they have a great creative writing programme. I think it would be so much fun.

I never really viewed music as a possibility, it's always been a hobby. While my family are re-

ally supportive, they are also realistic, so they say, ‘don’t put all your cards on this, cos it’s one in a million.’ It's a game of chance, so we’ll see what comes out of it.

What next for getting your music out there?

I think a smart move these days is to develop a large following on social media, but I’m very not tech savvy. My mum's forced me into getting social media for my music. It’s funny, people are always looking for things to put on social media, I have things I can share but I just always forget to. Following is everything these

Will music be a part of that?

I want my life to be in music, I think love is the only real meaning of life so if you’re doing something you love you can’t really go wrong. It would make me so happy for my sole purpose in life to be writing songs. I feel like the only way to make a living out of that is to be famous, which I think would be quite miserable.

I like having anonymity, even at the moment, with my small victory at Rockquest, people start recognising me at school, which I don’t like. I feel like fame is quite a big price to pay. I just want me, someone I love, two dogs and a scooter, and I can be doing gigs on the weekend making enough to live.

Chemical reaction on show REVIEW Chamber Music New Zealand, Winner’s Tour, Michael Hill International Violin Competition at the Nelson Centre of Musical Arts.

Saturday 29 September.

Reviewed by Ruth Allison A palpable chemistry exists between these two young musicians.

They are a tour de force.

Ioana Cristina Goicea is a gracious amazon and an electric presence on the stage with her beautiful Guadagnini violin.

While Andrey Gugnin is very confident, charming and totally in control at his piano.

Together they gave us a rich musical experience never to be forgotten.

From the spirited opening bars of Schubert’s Rondo Brillant to the lyrical beauty of Richard Strauss, this was a

Ioana Cristina Goicea and Andrey Gugnin perform at the Nelson Centre of Musical Arts. Photo: Supplied. showy, colourful, yet tender performance.

In Goicea’s hands, the violin took on a life of its own, delicate one minute and exacting the next, always aware of the piano.

Gugnin’s strength gave the piano a voice in return, and the two instruments engaged in a feast of incredible beauty which belied the demanding technical skill required.

The choice of programme made for a very lively evening.

Goicea made the most of the recurring refrain in the Rondo Brilliant, highlighting its many guises and having fun each time it occurred, almost appearing to make each one more ‘brilliant’.

Debussy’s Sonata in G Minor demonstrated the closeness between the two instruments as the mood ranged from sombre to sparkling.

Stravinsky’s popular and enjoyable Suite Italienne was performed with grace and effervescence.

But, it was Richard Strauss’ Sonata in E Flat Major which took the partnership to new heights, imbuing the music with urgency and poetic romanticism.

It infected the whole audience with such an intensity of feeling, that they stood as one to show their admiration and delight.

It was great to hear the small solo violin piece by Karlo Margetić’, a young New Zealand composer.

Commissioned by the Michael Hill International Violin Competition in 2017 and interpreted with gravitas by Goicea, it lived up to its description of an imaginary folk song.

The warm sounds of the violin invoked age old cultures and, at the same time, ideas of change and adaptation as the song passes down the generations.

This concert was a special treat, one to be savoured and, in time, to be spoken of with reverence.

Know your streams – Jenkins Creek

Nelson Arts Festival’s children’s shows are always a favourite with our younger viewers, and the Festival team works hard to bring together a programme of shows that will delight, entertain and take young audiences on exciting journeys into new territories.

This year the children’s shows take us into far-away places and imaginary worlds. As well as travelling the South Seas with Gavin Bishop’s Cook’s Cook (Saturday 20 October, 1.30pm) and visiting an imaginary 3D world full of dragons with James Russell’s An Unfamiliar Place, the 3rd book in The Dragon Defenders series (Saturday 20 October, 11am), we’re going on a journey of discovery with Ann-Droid, a Pinocchio-themed story about a robot girl who wants to be real (Tuesday 16 October, 7pm), and dancing with pirates at Captain Pinky’s Pirate Toddler Boogie (Sunday 14 October, 2pm).

And then there’s The Messy Magic Adventure!, when two cleaners, Spray and Wipe, are hired to clean a magician’s house – their most exciting job ever!

But when they accidentally let the magic out of its box,

everything is turned topsy-turvy...and the audience must help get the magic back in the box before the magician comes home, as her house gets messier and messier!

Circus, slapstick, magic, mayhem and pies make this a crazy adventure for 4-12 year olds. Christchurch-based Rollicking Entertainment, aka Lizzie Tollemache and David Ladderman, are well known award-winning international performers, bringing their special mix of family-friendly magic to the Nelson Arts Festival.

We’ve got a family pass to give away for The Messy Magic Adventure! To enter, email festivalenquiries@ncc. govt.nz and tell us the name of the two cleaners who take on cleaning the magician’s house! Entries close 5pm, Monday 8 October.

Gambling Policy Review consultation open Feedback is invited until 24 October on the draft Gambling Policy.

Know your streams – Jenkins Creek Jenkins Creek is named after Alfred George Jenkins, who established a coal mine in 1858, which he named Enner Glynn, at the base of what is now Jenkins Hill.

The stream drains the Enner Glynn Valley, running more or less parallel to Whakatu Drive as it passes through Annesbrook, meeting the Arapiki Stream at Quarantine Road, then discharging into the tidal reaches of Waimea Inlet.

Today, the stream passes through the Annesbrook and Tahunanui industrial area and the lower reaches of the stream have been associated with industry since early European settlement. Flax milling and rope making were initially popular, but the industry in Nelson met with limited success. Although it was enthusiastically restarted successive times, it failed to

meet the expectations of either the millers or those to which the dressed flax was exported.

An example of this is Ryder’s Flax Mill in Annesbrook. In 1842 Jonas Ryder established a flax mill, powered by a water wheel in Jenkins Creek.

The flax mill had some difficulties in production and changed hands several years later, however the new owner was also unable to sustain the business and eventually it was closed.

Jenkins Creek has a history of flooding and the lower and mid reaches of the Creek are heavily modified with culverts and channels. Several stormwater pipes enter the stream, so remembering that only rain goes down the drain will help keep the stream healthy. Inanga spawning occurs in the lower reaches of the stream, and there are several native fish species found here, including bullies, inanga and eels.

The Nelson City Council Gambling Policy regulates the number and location of Class 4 gaming machines ('pokies') and Totalisator Agency Board ('TAB') venues within the Nelson district.

The Gambling Act 2003 and the Racing Act 2003 both require the Council to review its policy every three years.

The last review was in 2016 when Council decided to retain the existing Policy without change. Council has recently undertaken a further review and as a result of this review is proposing some amendments to the Policy.

Brian McGurk, Co-Chair of the Planning and Regulatory Committee says Council would now like to know what you think of the changes that we’re suggesting to minimise the harm caused by gambling in Nelson city.

“Gaming machines are considered the most harmful form of gambling and areas of high deprivation are known to be more vulnerable to gambling harm. Council has considered this when reviewing the Policy.”

Council is proposing to: • Reduce the cap on the number of Class 4 gaming machines (commonly known as pokies) allowed to operate in the district • Introduce location requirements for new venues, which would prevent them from being located in areas of high deprivation • Reduce the limit of the number of Class 4 gaming machines (commonly known as pokies) allowed at new venues • Make a number of editorial amendments to the Policy.

• Council is keen to hear your views on any aspect of this proposal.

For more information, or to view the full Statement of Proposal including the amended draft of the Policy visit our website. nelson.govt.nz/consultations

Freshwater citizen science gets a boost An Envirolink grant of $40,000 will advance freshwater monitoring through citizen science.

Nelson City Council is working with lead agency NIWA, with support from Greater Wellington, Northland and Auckland councils, to develop tools that will support freshwater citizen science projects.

NIWA will use the grant to deliver a website and mobile phone app to be used by community stream monitoring groups, to enter and share data, analyse and generate reports.

In addition, the funding will be used to produce a series of short instructional videos that cover how to use the Stream Habitat Monitoring Assessment Kit (new version) and its core applications for water monitoring.

Nelson was one of a handful of regional councils that took part in the NIWA Parallel Monitoring programme in 2014, which provided monitoring equipment for training and trialling monitoring kits with Friends of the Maitai and Wakapuaka stream monitoring groups.

Check out our website nelson.govt.nz

A number of Nelson schools and community groups are now actively taking part in freshwater citizen science, co-ordinated through Nelson City Council’s Healthy Streams programme.

The educational tools from the NIWA freshwater citizen science project will be on display at a special workshop during the 50th NZ Freshwater Sciences Conference, to be held in Nelson from 10-14 December this year.

New sewer line in Vanguard Street Work to install a new sewer line in Vanguard Street begins this week and will take about four weeks to complete.

The new pipe is being installed to address ongoing issues with sewage overflows during heavy rain, which are affecting the play area at Victory School and some other surrounding properties.

Once the new pipe is ready, the affected properties can be disconnected from the main sewer in Vanguard St, which is the cause of these overflow issues.

The budget for the cost of the project is $320,000. The first two weeks of work on site is happening during schools holidays to minimise disruption.

New building consent system is live AlphaOne, which went live on both Nelson City and Tasman District Council’s websites on 1 October, will allow you to submit and track your building projects, including consents, certificates of acceptance, exemptions and code compliance certificates.

It will be used for all building consent applications in Tasman and Nelson. A new app for inspections should be available from November.

PROPOSED ROAD CLOSURE - Santa Parade Nelson City Council proposes to temporarily close the roads listed below for the Annual Santa Parade on Sunday 2 December 2018 at 11am until 4pm: • Hathaway Terrace, Trafalgar Park Lane and Hathaway Carpark • Trafalgar Street from Grove Street to Selwyn Place (including Halifax and Bridge Street intersections)

These will be rolling closures, with the Parade starting at Hathaway Terrace. Roads will reopen when the parade moves through.

The wet weather day is Sunday 9 December 2018 if needed.

Please give any feedback about this proposal in writing by Friday 12 October 2018, attention Melissa Ramsay, Nelson City Council, PO Box 645, Nelson, or email enquiries@ncc.govt.nz.

The decision of whether the roads will be closed will be advertised on Council’s website at

• Hardy Street from Church Street to Collingwood Street

Keep it clear!

Did you know that it is your responsibility as a resident to make sure the vegetation on your property doesn’t grow over the footpath or the road?

As you can appreciate, with footpaths, this can hinder safe access for pedestrians, pushchairs, wheelchairs and mobility scooters.

With roadways, it can cause visibility issues for drivers and may potentially cause an accident.

You can check out the requirements of how the vegetation needs to be trimmed here on the Council website - nelson.govt.nz/ overhanging-vegetation.

In cases where residents don’t keep their vegetation clear of the footpath or road, Nelmac is authorised to carry out the work and the householder may be invoiced for the cost of this work by Nelson City Council.

Your efforts to keep your frontage clear will help to make your neighbourhood safer for everyone.

Council to develop a policy around workshops Council requested that a policy be developed for workshops, and that the use of livestreaming video be considered as part of that policy, at Thursday 20 September's meeting.

This followed an earlier request from the Mayor in May 2017 when she had sought direction on developing a policy from Councillors.

Council agreed that developing a policy would be of assistance for staff who administer workshop scheduling. Under the current practice it was noted that Nelson City Council workshops had been public for some years, although how they are advertised varies.

Workshops are not public meetings as defined by the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (the Act).

At the moment, the Chief Executive or a Group Manager advises the Chair whether a workshop should be open to the public, considering a range of factors including the topic and whether it was subject to negotiations, legal professional privilege, an obligation of confidence and any other relevant issues.

The Chair then makes a decision on the status of the workshop on a case by case basis.

Research carried out by staff showed there in no standard approach to workshops around the country: • Thirty one council websites do not advertise workshops on their website • Five councils included workshops in their Schedule of Council Meetings, though four of these do so, without specifying the workshop topic

k.com/nelsoncitycouncil

• Fourteen councils provided materials (agenda/ presentation/notes) relating to the workshop either before or after the workshop • One council publicly notified its workshops, included the workshop details in its Calendar of Meetings and live-streamed its LTP workshops.

Mayor Rachel Reese says, “The idea of live-streaming workshops has made us consider the wider picture around how we manage workshops. For instance, many of our public workshops are not well attended by members of the public. Is there value in publicising them more so our residents also have access to the information that guides us in the decision making process?”

“However, as per the Ombudsman’s guidance, we need to preserve the ability for free and frank discussion to take place between elected members, staff and sometimes contractors, while preserving our obligations around privacy and confidentiality.

“We want to make this work and provide value for elected members, staff and advisors, and elected members. I’m sure we a Council we are committed to increasing transparency and openness around our decision making. I look forward to seeing this progressed and will be asking for the policy to be developed and adopted as a priority,” Mayor Reese says.

Don't be late - get that recycling to the gate Just a reminder that everyone needs to get their recycling out for collection by 7am on their scheduled collection day.

Don’t be shy – place your bins somewhere they can be easily seen and picked up by the collection team. You don’t want them to miss your bins if they are hard to spot.

By the way, the times of collections may vary from week to week. That’s why it’s important to have them ready at the kerb by 7am, that way you won’t be missed out.

Multiple trucks are used for collecting both blue bins and wheelie bins, so don’t panic if both your bins are not collected at the same time, it’s likely the other bin will be collected later in the day.

Remember, your collection day is on the sticker on the side of your wheelie bin. You should have received a recycling calendar, so you know Week One from Week Two. If you’ve accidentally recycled yours, you can get all the information from the website nelson.govt.nz/recycling

Around 100 dogs, cats, rabbits

and one lone guinea pig were all accompanied by their owners to the service, lead by Dean Michael Hawke.

Omega Innovations, New Zealand King Salmon - Omega Innovations, a division of the New Zealand King Salmon Company was established in 2015 to better utilise by-products, reduce waste and achieve sustainability goals.

Initially, efforts were concentrated on improving the collection and disposal systems for existing by-product.

Around a quarter of our annual production is guts, heads, trim, skin, bones, tails and frames.

Until recently, the vast majority was rendered offsite to produce fish meal and an oil product, a low-tech, low-return disposal method.

Changes were made to improve containment and by-product quality, and to reduce health and safety risk. The next steps were to turn the company’s by-products into higher-value revenue streams.

Our first Omega Innovations success story is the retail launch of our own pet food and treats range, Omega Plus, in September 2016. Omega Plus is now stocked in 85 supermarkets in New Zealand and exported to China.

You see their work daily but you don’t know they are behind it - from car registration holders, WOF overlays, service reminders or logo creation, Orange Dog are the driving force behind the automotive category.

Orange Dog is the local International print company you’ve probably never heard of.

Planning for a great summer on the water.

Summer is just around the corner and while there’s nothing better than a summer’s day spent on a boat, a great day can be quickly ruined by something going wrong and having no one there to help. Becoming a Coastguard member is one of the best things you can do for your safety and wellbeing out the water.

Composting toilet, ideal for boats!

With the prospect of another summer’s boating on the horizon, now is a great time to review what's new on the boating scene. Have you heard about Marine composting toilets? If saving freshwater and the space normally occupied by the holding tank interests you, this may be the answer.

‘Air Head’ Composting Toilets first came off the assembly line in 2001 in the USA, and were designed for boats, hence the reference to "head".



Nelson Weekly

They have subsequently been hijacked for use in motorhomes, caravans, sleepout, tiny homes (on and off grid) and farm buildings, because of their many advantages. However, New Zealand boaties are quickly catching on.

The concept of a composting toilet on a boat may well conjure up pictures of a huge fixture that you'd need a ladder to access. Not so. The Air Head Composting Toilet has arguably the smallest space requirement of any marine toilet. It is a self-contained composting system that needs minimal maintenance and is very straightforward, clean and hygienic to operate.

And just as there are practical advantages in having a composting toilet on your boat, the environment also benefits. There is no discharge of your waste into the sea. In fact you can eliminate the through-hull fitting that once discharged your holding tank into the anchorage where you swim each morning!

You don’t really want this to be you but just in case, a Coastguard membership is essential if you are heading out on the water.

The composting aspect of the unit works extremely efficiently, and boaties who are also keen gardeners will value the compost they produce at sea and take home for the garden. If you are interested in learning more about this product, contact John at Enviromarine NZ Limited and we will be happy to discuss the benefits of the Air Head Composting Toilet with you. Yes, times are a-changing, and so are the opportunities available in the market place today. For more information, phone 021 175 6686.

If you love boating, you’ll be amazed by the large range of functional products available at Gould Marine, which caters for all your marine or leisure requirements. Sail covers, lee cloths, rope tail bags, biminis, window shades, dinghy covers and more – Gould Marine can make any product to order. “We have been in the boating industry for over 40 years – both Bernie and I have a vast knowledge in all matters boating,” says co-owner, Karli Gould. “We were local sailmakers for many years but now we specialize in covers for the marine industry. From small to large jobs, we are happy to give you a quote. We pride ourselves on using quality materials suitable for our region’s harsh weather elements. We also make sturdy gear bags made from recycled sails; each one different with its own character lines and small imperfections. Any job, be it marine-related or industrial sewing, we are happy to help.”

Surfski paddling is growing in popularity. This is especially true in Nelson, where we have some fantastic paddling on our doorstep. A surfski is an ideal craft for getting out on the sea. More stable surfskis are perfect for people who want to paddle for fitness or to do some light touring. The longer and skinnier designs can be paddled more quickly, so suit those who are more

competitive in their paddling. Surfskis are also a lot of fun in an ocean swell.

Thanks to their speed, surfskis allow you to catch waves when paddling downwind, which is an exhilarating experience. If you are interested in learning more about surfskis, come and have a chat to us at Kayak HQ. We have the Think range of surfskis available, including demo models you can try. Our goal is to ensure you get the right ski for your needs, so you can have heaps of fun out on the water. We also have an extensive selection of accessories, safety gear and clothing.

Are you equipped for a ‘Man Overboard’ (MOB) situation? It can happen anywhere or anytime, in sheltered water or open ocean. The Sea Rescue Sled is a solution which can help save lives!

It is designed to assist in the successful rescue of any MOB, regardless of size, weight and energy level. The absence of a rear transon (barrier) on the sled enables a fatigued MOB (or pet) to simply slide onto it. The MOB can then be winched on board using the halyard.

The Sea Rescue Sled package includes a sled, a throw bag containing 30 metres of floatable rope, a 1.5m strop line, and a large valise bag, all for the special introductory price of $990! Don’t wait until there’s an emergency to come up with a MOB recovery strategy – invest

in a Sea Rescue Sled so you can relax and enjoy your time on the water!

Specialising in boat repairs and maintenance, Allspec Marine will find solutions to problems within the timeframe you need, with specific services available such as: antifouling, interior fit outs, mould design and manufacture, plumbing, fibreglass repairs, Propseed Application and electronic installations.

If your boat needs an upgrade, alterations, or a complete fit-out, Allspec Marine will work with you through to process to ensure you get the results you want, and can take care of things like cabinet making and joinery, boat painting, varnishing and finishing, marine systems and engineering, and fibreglassing. Or if you are maybe considering boat building, the dedicated team of project managers at Allspec Marine is available to guide you through the process of building your next boat! Specific services include: project management, timber construction, carbon fibre construction, teak decks, marine systems and engineering, and cabinet making.

Lucy leads rep rugby team Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

For the first time in its history, a female has been named captain of the Nelson Bays U48kg rugby team.

Lucy Mahuika will lead the side in Christchurch during the South Island U48kg rugby tournament this week.

The 12-year-old hooker wants to be a leader for young girls everywhere and hopes to see the rise of female rugby continue until the All Blacks and Black Ferns are considered equal.

Lucy says she was shocked to learn that she had been selected, let alone would be captaining the side. “I didn’t believe it at first, I thought they were joking.”

She says she was initially worried she wouldn’t even make the 48kg weight.

“Now I’m too light so my mum is stuffing me, so I can get buff for the tournament.”

Also captain of her Nelson club

“If someone makes a mistake I will let them know its ok, learn from it. I want to be the best I can be and help everyone improve their games too.”

She says she has another key attribute that makes her a good

captain. “I have a big mouth.”

Lucy is not the only female in the side, joined by Wanderers 12th grade captain Sarah Jones.

The girls say there is no “sexist stuff.”

“We get treated the same way, it’s good that we are in a team that knows our ability.”

However, Lucy says this has not always been the case.

“Some boys say, ‘you’re a girl and you’re weak’, stuff like that.

Lucy also made the decision to cut her hair after the boys would constantly pull on it.

“They started to pull chunks out, so I just got it cut shorter, it had

made me faster too.”

She says constant teasing almost led to her walking away from the game she loves.

“The boys would tease me when I was younger, I felt like I couldn’t do it.”

However, her mother convinced her to stick with it, knowing her daughter had the ability to match it with the boys.

“I got more confident in myself and I proved them wrong.”

Both Sarah and Lucy grew up getting ‘smashed’ by their brothers so learnt how to handle a hit.

Both Lucy and Sarah dream of becoming Black Ferns one day.

They say they idolize the likes of Black Ferns Fi Fa'amausili, Selica Winiata and Portia Woodman, “she’s a beast.”

Lucy also cites diminutive halfback Kendra Cocksidge as an inspiration.

“It really shows you that size doesn’t matter, the boys are usually always bigger than us but that doesn’t stop us from showing them what we can do.”

Head knocks force Guyton to retire Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

It was a case of family over footy for Billy Guyton.

When the Tasman Mako veteran found himself unable to play with his daughter due to concussion symptoms, he knew it was time to hang up the boots.

The 28-year-old says when he was sleeping for most of the day while taking care of his two-and-a-halfyear-old girl Uri, it was a sign that it was time to retire.

“Life after rugby has started to become a lot more important now, which was my main reason for leaving the game,” Billy says.

“It was a bloody tough decision, I still don’t like that I have had to make it but I know it is the best thing for my health and family.”

Billy says he had been contemplating retirement for a month before he officially announced it following his latest setback.

“I got back into Mako training and was going well, I was planning on being back for the Taranaki game (September 14) and then my contact training the next day was a bad one, I had headaches for the whole day and my fatigue levels

had bumped up.”

He says he started asking himself 'when will the next one happen, and will I be able to do all those things I want to do with my family?'

Billy sought advice from former players who had suffered head knocks. “They were finding it tough later in life which made it a lot easier to step away. My daughter is at that age where she is wanting to explore everything, and you have got to be onto it.”

He says there would be a number of everyday activities that would trigger his concussion symptoms.

“Watching TV would bring on headaches, doing too many tasks, loud noises, some days I would need noise-cancelling headphones or I would feel nauseous and have blurry or double vision, it was not very fun.”

Billy’s latest head knock came during a club game for Waimea Old Boys.

“I was going into a ruck and the side of my head caught someone’s knee on the way down.”

Billy brushed it off as just a bump.

“I carried on playing then with ten minutes to go I felt really off the game, I didn’t want to be out there. I finished the game and

Billy sought the advice of former Mako captain and current defensive coach, Shane Christie, who also retired due to head knocks.

“We have been good mates for years, I talked to him about it and, once he heard my reasons, he felt it was the right choice.”

Billy says it was a bittersweet moment calling curtains on his career. “There was a lot of emotion, but it gave me a good chance to reflect on what I had done so there was a sense of pride.”

He says while it is hard sitting on the sidelines, he is revelling in the success of the Mako who current-

ly sit on top of the Mitre 10 Cup premiership table.

He says winning the championship in 2013 with the Mako was a career highlight, as was winning the Heartland Championship with North Otago in 2010.

The live-wire scrumhalf played for three Super Rugby franchises but says the proudest moment for his family was pulling on the black fern.

“Becoming a Maori All Black was awesome and a very proud moment for my family.”

Looking ahead at life after footy, Billy says he wants to create a rugby development academy.

He says he also wants to work

around the psychological aspect of the game.

Billy battled bi-polar throughout his career, a fight that has inspired him to help other players struggling with mental illness.

He says not knowing what he was dealing with made his journey all the more difficult.

“I knew I had something wrong when I was with North Otago, but I thought it was more in that depression/anxiety area, just because I didn’t understand.”

Billy says this greatly effected his game. “All the self-doubt creeps in, you tell yourself other reasons for why you aren’t getting picked.”

He says he would struggle outside the rugby environment and without routine would slip into bad habits. “I put on and dropped weight for no reason which was a problem in Super Rugby environments, I was either too heavy or too light.”

Billy says after finally seeking the right help and medication, he says he was looking forward to a season without self-doubt.

While that didn't pan out how he would have liked, Billy still has a lifetime with his family to look forward to. "That's is what's most important."

Mako go top of table Locally Owned and Operated

Peter Jones

The Tasman Mako picked up a vital five points and kept themselves in the race to host a Mitre 10 Cup semi-final with a hard-fought 28-22 win over Wellington in the capital on Saturday night.

With Auckland being upset by Otago in Auckland, the Mako now top the premiership table with seven wins from eight games.

The Mako led 13-10 at halftime, the sides scoring a try apiece.

Finlay Christie picked up the game’s first five-pointer after a silky break by fullback Will Jordan, while Wellington replied through live-wire prop Xavier Numia.

A second penalty goal by Mitch Hunt on the stroke of halftime ensured the Mako held a deserved lead at the break, after dominating territory, possession and on the penalty count.

Tasman opened the second spell in sensational fashion, winger Solomon Alaimalo scoring almost immediately after the restart as the Mako forwards began to assert their dominance, especially at set piece.

Loose forward Jacob Norris

Despite a strong finish from the Lions, the Mako held firm to move to the top of the premiership table.

Tasman skipper David Havili had praise for both his bench and the men with the low numbers on their backs.

"I'm really proud of the way the boys stuck at it in the last 20 minutes ... the bench came on and really lifted us.

"We have got great players up front and full credit to the front

row - they were awesome tonight."

Tasman head coach Leon MacDonald was also particularly happy with his tight five, suggesting they had set the tone for his side’s performance.

“I’m really proud of the boys tonight, Wellington are a good team – they have been pouring a lot of points on everybody so to hold them like we did was a top effort. The scrum set the attitude … I thought our mauling and our scrum was fantastic. Our tight five were really up for it tonight.

“We knew how physical their defence was… so we retained the ball for long periods and actually took a bit of sting out of their attacking game because we forced them to make so many tackles.”

He also praised the impact of the bench players, particularly Tim O’Malley and Ray Niuia, who both contributed to tryscoring movements, plus John Akau’ola-Laula, who scored one. “All our subs played really well, which is pleasing because having confidence to use them is critical heading into the end of the season.”

Next up for the Mako is a match against Otago in Dunedin, at 4.35pm on Sunday.

Footballers 'got ballsy' Jonty Dine Sportsmen, celebrities and local personalities "got ballsy” at Trafalgar Park on Saturday in a charity football match to raise awareness for testicular cancer.

The match was organised by Nelson Suburbs stalwart and cancer survivor Ryan "Skippy” Stewart and featured the likes of Paul Ifill, Luke Patrick (aka Frank from Shortland Street), Tall Black Phill Jones, Black Cap Ish Sodhi and former All Black

Chris Jack.

It was a goal fest at Trafalgar, Jack opening the scoring after just ten minutes to set the tone for a highlyentertaining contest.

Jack would go on to score a hattrick but was to be outdone by Skippy who netted himself four.

Ryan says it was a great turnout for a great cause.

"For a charity match there was some great football played.”

Despite scoring a double hat-trick, Ryan was quick to deflect the praise.

"I guess it’s not a bad effort, but I didn’t have to do much.”

The testicular cancer survivor was blown away by the support shown for the fight against the disease.

"I’m a bit tired and a bit emotional, but it was a great day.”

Scorers: Blue 10 (Chris Jack 3, Ish Sodhi, Ben Sigmund, Jake Butler, Dylan Wells, Paul Hughes, Brendon Hodgson, Ash Wellbourn) White 7 (Ryan Stewart 4, Gareth Turnball 2, Paul Ifill)

From Arsenal to Tasman Locally Owned and Operated

Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Kiernan Hughes-Mason – at just six year old – got an offer he couldn’t refuse.

After playing his first game of junior football, he was asked to join the academy for Premier League heavyweights Arsenal.

After spending his formative footballing years with Arsenal, a 15-year-old Kiernan then spent 18 months with Tottenham Hotspur, before moving to Millwall on a scholarship and kicked off his professional career in league one at 17.

“I learned to be a man quite early, it was very ruthless and not pretty, tacklers fly in, so I learned from a young age how to hold my own and look after myself on the pitch.”

Having bounced around a number of clubs, Kiernan got the call to come to New Zealand while playing for Barking FC. Kiernan moved to the capital in July where he played for North Wellington, going unbeaten and winning the capital one competition.

The most recent chapter in his esteemed career brings him to Nelson where he will play in the 2018 ISPS Handa Premiership with Tasman United.

“It was a great opportunity to come out and one I couldn’t really turn down, a different country, a different style of football, so I thought why not?” Kiernan says.

The East Londoner of Antiguan, Barbudan, Dominican and

33

Grenadian descent says he has had great impressions of the city and club so far.

“It’s a bit like back home, it’s very hot which is good, I am really enjoying it, boys are great, it’s the sort of club you want to play for, it is very well run,” he says.

Kiernan is also passionate about coaching, having managed the U18 Leatherhead academy.

“It’s something I really enjoy doing as it really helps me, our team here is quite young so it’s almost like a coaching role, too.”

A Manchester United supporter, Kiernan says he looks up to the likes of former England striker Ian Wright and fellow “East London boy” Jermaine Defoe.

He says he wants to make an impact with Tasman and repay the faith the club has shown in him. “I am looking to get into double figures in terms of goals, we play 18 games, so I think that is realistic.”

Tasman United will open its 2018 campaign against Auckland City on October 21.

New softball league to start Jonty Dine

A softball league with an emphasis on fun will get underway in Nelson later this month.

The Nelson United Softball Club are calling on players of all ages and abilities to take a swing at a varied version of the sport this spring.

In conjunction with Nelson Softball Association, the first Mixed Social ‘Slo-Pitch’ League will be played on Saturday afternoons starting on October 27.

The league will run for six weeks with game times played from midday to 1pm.

United Softball Club member Don Glenie says, as well as fun, safety will be a priority of the league.

“There won’t be any injuries unless someone doesn’t warm up and pulls a muscle.”

Teams will play a round robin leading up to the Slo-Pitch tournament (Murray Williams

Classic) to be played on Saturday, December 1.

Teams will be 8-aside with a minimum of four females and basic gear is supplied on the day.

Slo-pitch is a derivative of Softball where the ball is pitched slowly (underhand) to the batter.

The emphasis of the game is on hitting and to encourage the batter to put the ball in play with no bunting or stealing.

“It’s very fluid, we can play maybe five or six innings in an hour, it’s fast turning and fun.

To register yourself or your team, contact Nicky Mason from United on 027 600 0288.

Club member Ron Prestage with a haul of gurnard and blue cod.

New season begins Dominik Berghamer The Dawnbreakers Fishing Club has launched into a new season with the Open Day on Sunday.

We were very pleased to see lots of new faces eager to find out about the club and all the advantages it has to offer.

Of course, a big bunch of familiar faces turned up too, to pick up this season’s membership cards and, more importantly, to catch up on the latest news and gossip about the fishing in the bay. Welcome back, guys!

The new and improved ramp in the Nelson marina is finished and it works beautifully! It’s so much easier to launch and retrieve your boats now, especially if you are on your own. A massive THANK YOU to Troy Dando for all the hard work he put in to make this happen!

The first snapper have been caught but the fishing is hard work, the sea floor seems to be plastered with spiny dogfish at

Brought to you by:

the moment. The snapper are not around in big numbers yet, but the ones caught can be huge - I saw some carcasses in the fish waste bin the other day that definitely belonged to snapper in the 30lb range. If you can get your hands on them, try fishing with paddle crabs, this will give you a break from all the unwanted sharks.

Gurnard are being caught in good numbers, Delaware Bay is a traditional hot spot and usually delivers well. Small soft baits and flasher rigs garnished with Jimmys Bait Nuggets will do the damage.

The massive amounts of bait fish in the bay attract lots of wildlife, dolphins, seals, penguins and thousands of other birds can be seen almost anytime you go out.

Kahawai and, unfortunately, barracoutas are amongst them, just follow the birds for an easy feed.

A German with a silver fern Locally Owned and Operated

Nelson College rugby captain Anton Segner stars for NZ schools Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Anton Segner’s dream of becoming the first German All Black came closer to reality at the weekend, making his international debut for the New Zealand Secondary Schools side.

The Nelson College 1st XV cap-

tain started at flanker for New Zealand and even got himself a try as his side dismantled Tonga Schools 54-0.

Anton says it was an “unreal feeling” to pull the black jersey on for the first time.

“It was indescribable, the way I felt when putting it on and running out.”

The 17-year-old says there is a

powerful camaraderie within the New Zealand squad.

“Every one of the boys I was surrounded by would give it everything for the jersey and for each other.”

Anton got himself on the scoresheet against Tonga.

“As expected, Tonga came out really physically, but we matched them really well, I thought,” An-

ton says.

The 192cm and 104kg openside flanker says, while delighted to get over the chalk, he was just happy to be in black.

“I'm very honoured and privileged to have been able to wear the black jersey with the fern on it.”

The 2018 UC Championship MVP award winner says the side

Let us turn your dream into a reality

recovered from its Tonga game to to beat the Australian Barbarians 55-31 on Monday afternoon.

New Zealand Schools will now meet Australian Schools on Saturday in the final match of the tour.

With another year of high school, Anton will be expected to lead Nelson College for the 2019 season as well.
