Modellers Pond Park delays SARA HOLLYMAN

The Modellers Pond redevelopment is more than $1 million behind budget, will not be completed on time and rising costs have forced council to scale-back the project. In a January-March 2022 quarterly report presented to Nelson City Council’s community and

recreation committee last week, the shortfall in capital expenditure of $1.1m was put down to delays due to Covid-19 and the weather. The report stated that, due to cost increases, some features of the design have been removed and others reduced. Group manager community services Andrew White says, like

many projects, the Modellers Pond Park is facing increases to material costs due to Covid-19. “Officers have made small changes to the detailed design, but the park will not be noticeably different from the scheme that was originally proposed.” The design that was put to the public was “relatively simple”, and a more detailed design had since

been developed. It was elements from this detailed design that had been downscaled or removed. When questioned on what design elements had been removed, an example was provided of an area that was originally planned to be concreted but will now be grass. To explain what had been ‘scaled back’, Andrew used an example of

some of the street furniture being scaled back to a slightly less expensive design. “When costs are increasing, it makes sense to consider where savings can be made,” Andrew says. The report also stated that the final cost of the project is expected

Kids create kicks for good SARA HOLLYMAN An art therapy collaboration has given local youth the chance to try their hand at designing their own shoes. Brain Injury Association partnered with Whanake Youth to bring awareness of brain injury to the region’s young people through art therapy. Local multi-medium artist Ricky Douglas took charge of the workshops, which saw the Whanake group design seven pairs of shoes. “We really wanted to bring awareness about brain injury and prevention to the youth so we partnered with Whanake Youth to find us these awesome teenagers and have a bit of education around brain injury,” Brain Injury Association liason officer Emma-Jo Sanders says.

sistent rain has delayed the project end date, which is why the project is currently ‘behind budget’. “However, with better weather forecast work is ongoing and we are looking forward to opening a fantastic new park for Nelson,” he says.

Through the Nelson City Council’s Creative Communities scheme the pairs of plain white shoes were purchased as well as paints imported from the United States which can go through the wash without bleeding or running. While Ricky has worked with shoe art before, it has never been in a group setting. “It was good interaction, we all had fun. They were a delightful group, everybody was happy and then we made art.” Whanake Youth members said they enjoyed the experience of getting to do something different with their friends. Emma-Jo and Ricky said they wanted the shoes to be of a quality that they could be onsold, if their creators desired.

“Well it is art,” Ricky says. “But they all like them and want to wear them.” The shoes, which were completed over a six-week period, were airbrushed with diferent colours, with a stencil design then overlayed. “I made sure we put two different colours on there and then the decal on top so it would give the effect of not quite psycadelic, but would boost the design. They come out looking real nice,” Ricky says. Ricky has been involved with the association for 10 years and says he never knew he had a brain injury until he had some education, which is why education is important. “They’ve been the most amazing providers.” The Brain Injury Association will take the art therapy sessions to the Tasman district later this year.

Nick Smith considers running for Mayor KATE RUSSELL Former Nelson MP Nick Smith has announced that he is considering running for the Nelson mayoralty in this year’s local elections. He will be meeting with current and former councillors and mayors, as well as community and business leaders this week as he contemplates a move into local government. “I know Nelson really well from my 30 years as an MP, but I have a lot to learn about the council. It is a big decision to stand for mayor and I want to do my homework carefully,” Nick says. “It is clear the council has lost its way, that there is a lot of animosity around the council table, and it is going to be challenging to fix it. I want to get a good sense of the problems and possible solutions before deciding whether to stand.” Nick says he has been encouraged by many people to run for mayor. “I have had lots of people ask me to stand since Rachel Reese announced she was retiring last month. The attraction of the mayoral role is I love advocating for Nelson.”

Nick Smith will decide if he will run for the Nelson mayoralty in the next few weeks. Photo: File. Nick says he is enjoying his current work growing New Zealand’s renewable energy with the country’s biggest and second-largest windfarms in Palmerston North and Napier. “That is crucial to overcoming the problem of climate change, but I don’t like being away from home and family so much.” He says it is going to be an important job navigating Nelson through the biggest changes in decades for local government with the three waters reform,

the changes to planning and resource management law, and the review of the future of local government. “It would be good to put my years of experience as a government minister to good use in ensuring we get a good outcome for Nelson. The downside is that politics has become more polarised and personal with social media and the public role does impact on family.” He says he will make a decision in the next few weeks.

Willy’s dream day SARA HOLLYMAN Four-year-old Willy Boylett doesn’t get many choices when he’s in hospital fighting cancer, but last month he was treated to a day that was all about him. Willy was the recipient of a Dream Day – an initiative from Lifetime to provide a meaningful experience to a family who has a child affected by a health condition or disability. Willy was diagnosed with neuroblastoma earlier this year, a type of cancer that starts in early nerve cells but has unfortunately spread to his bones. He is six months into treatment, with another six-nine months to go, and mum Sarah Kerby says the day was a welcome break for the family. Sarah was approached by the lo-

cal Dream Day coordinator and says she chose to keep the day a surprise in case Willy’s health wasn’t up to it on the day. “I started asking questions like ‘if you could do anything for a day what would it be?’ The first thing he said was he wanted to go and stay in a DoC hut.” After some prodding Willy eventually decided his dream day would involve going to the snow and seeing lots of dogs. So last month, as they pulled into a Christchurch carpark, Willy and his brother Baillie along with Sarah and partner Sam, began the day of Willy’s dreams. It began by each selecting their favourite-coloured Ferrari to individually be driven to the Antarctic Centre in followed by a special behind the scenes encounter with a penguin.

Senior constable Gary Donnelly then picked Willy up and took him to the police dog base where he got a tour, met detector dog Rivet, then got front-row seats as constable Michael Lamb showed off what the dogs could do. Sam was talked into donning the bite suit, to step into the shoes of a criminal on the run, who was quickly captured by the dog, much to the delight of the boys. Gary says it is always a pleasure to help families like Willy’s. “They’re going through a lot, so if we can provide a bit of joy for them, it’s easy,” he says. “Willy chatted all the way in the car and we’d never even met before – he’s a cool kid.” Sarah says it didn’t take long for Willy to realise he was in control of the day and fall into the position of ‘boss’.

Photo: Cindy Hargreaves. “Willy relished being in charge, he repeated multiple times ‘I am the boss in charge of today’, just seeing his willingness to jump in the car and have a chat and communicate with adults, I was really impressed. “It’s interesting, in hospital Willy really doesn’t have any choices, so to have a day that was all about him it was really special for him, and all of us.” Before leaving the boys were presented with some goodies, including a police dog soft toy that Willy proudly named Griff, after which they headed off to the local fire station. Willy was unexpectedly back home in Nelson last week after an asymptomatic Covid-19 test. “He was meant to have his big operation to cut hi tumour out on Tuesday, and tested him routinely for Covid, which turned up positive, he doesn’t have any symptoms but we’re home isolating,” Sarah says. Willy will have to wait at least a month for the operation, so will instead begin another round of chemotherapy. “We found out last week that the tumour has shrunk by half, so given that we were given a 50/50 chance of survival, the prognosis

is looking good.” Willy has amassed a whopping 315 beads on his Beads of Courage necklace so far. He receives one bead for each procedure or milestone, or sometimes a bead to cover the whole day, which can include things like having multiple injections on the same day. “Some of the beads are called courage beads, you get those at times when you’ve been really strong,” Sarah says. “The first one he got was the day after he had his nose tube installed, I accidentally ripped it out when I was helping him to the toilet, it had just been the most upsetting thing for him to have in and for me to do that… He chose a monster bead so now every time I look at it I’m reminded of the time I was a monster, but there’s also nice reminders of when he was just so strong and resilient.” Willy will head back to Christchurch to continue treatment when able but will now carry with him treasured memories from his Dream Day.

News Hundreds of homes insulated:

The Warmer Healthier Homes Nelson Tasman Marlborough Project (WHH) insulated 213 properties across Te Tauihu between 1 July 2021 and 31 December 2021, despite the interruption of the August Covid-19 lockdown. Of this total, 86 homes were in Nelson, 60 in Tasman, and 67 in Marlborough. A total of 2,776 properties occupied by low-income families and families with respiratory related health conditions have been insulated since the project’s inception in 2014. Of this total, 1378 have been in Nelson, 641 in Tasman and 757 in Marlborough.

Rising crime around Founders:

Police have reported that a higher level of crime in the Founders community has been a contributing factor to an increased number of security incidents at the heritage park between January and March this year. A collective effort by Nelson City Council and police is now being undertaken to enhance security measures. This includes clearing vegetation and perimeter fencing upgrades. Further measures, including security cameras, are also being progressed.

Families in need of housing:

The Housing Register figures for the year ending December 2021 show there were 279 families on the register, a slight increase on the previous period. The Nelson Tasman Housing Trust reports there was significant demand for subsidised housing in the first half of 2021, more than 150 people living long-term at Nelson City Council’s three campgrounds, and recorded an increasing number of requests for housing help coming from single adults over 60 years. Nelson Tasman Housing Trust’s estimate of unmet affordable housing need (excluding those on the housing register) is 425 families across Nelson and Richmond.

Nelson steps closer to joint district cemetery MAX FRETHEY Nelson City Council is a step closer to establishing a joint cemetery with Tasman District Council. Councillors voted to approve a memorandum of understanding between NCC and TDC during Thursday’s meeting of the community and recreation committee. The memorandum provides a framework for the two councils to work together to develop a business case for a regional cemetery without locking either council into the project. TDC approved the memorandum in May. No site for the joint cemetery has been chosen but the draft site criteria indicates the preferred location would be 30km from either central Nelson or central Richmond, though it suggests that a distance of 40km could also be acceptable. Preliminary locations mentioned within 30km of either centre include Hira, Wakefield, or Māpua. The 40km

Marsden Cemetery will still have capacity for the next decade. Photo: File. zone would also open up Upper Moutere as a possible location. Nelson City councillor Mel Courtney says that good public transport links were important for access to the proposed cemetery. “I would like to think that there were locations nearer to Nelson,” he says. “Nothing discourages me from supporting this than saying it’s going to be at Wakefield or Moutere Hills.” Consultant Chris Ward says

that locations closer to Nelson would be investigated as part of the site selection process but cautioned that flat land close to Nelson was in short supply. “Most of the flat land, both in Nelson and adjacent to Richmond, is either being developed or subject to development for housing.” Councillors Brian McGurk, Gaile Noonan, and Judene Edgar also raised concerns about providing a cemetery that was inclusive of the var-

ious cultural and religious traditions in the region as well as ensuring the cemetery proposal was supported by local iwi. Community engagement has thus far been limited because the project is in its early stages, but Chris says more widespread engagement will be conducted once a location is chosen, a business case has been developed, and both councils agree to move forward with the project. “We need to provide a cemetery that meets community need.” Now each council has agreed to the memorandum, the site selection process can begin and a business case, to be presented to the councils around mid-2023, can be developed. It is likely that Tasman District residents would make use of a joint cemetery years before Nelson residents due to the remaining space left in Marsden Valley Cemetery more than a decade’s worth. Richmond Cemetery will run out of space in the next four to five years.

Warning after $3000 diesel theft KATE RUSSELL Nelson Police are warning locals to be vigilant after 1000 litres of diesel was stolen in Stoke last month. The theft occurred on 13 June from a permanent diesel tank at the Saxton Rd wastewater pump station where on-site work to install new back-up generators was being carried out. The shipping container padlock holder had been cut off and around $3000 worth of diesel was taken along with cables and pumps. Nelson Area Commander Inspector Matt Scoles says that fuel thefts in the region tend to fluctuate seasonally. “From the cases reviewed, the majority of sites targeted for fuel thefts have been either outside or in an outbuilding at a residential address, or at commercial premises including farms, construction sites, and vehicle parks.” Of the offences that have been identified and assessed over the last year, diesel has been the primary fuel type identified in large quantity thefts.

Turners Cars Nelson is getting closer to opening their first location for the region. The branch based at xxx St Vincent St will open the first week of August, employing 10 staff locally, which could grow to 15. The branch will be full service, covering both buying cars from local people and selling of cars, by both retail and auction as well as doing trade-ins. In addition, the Nelson branch will be accepting lease car returns from Turners vendors. “It seems just yesterday that we held our Annual Conference in Nelson [May 2021] and got a taste of the local community,” Turners chief executive Greg Hedgepeth says. “We’ve really been looking forward to opening in Nelson ever since and can’t wait to start serving the region.”

Around $3000 worth of diesel was taken from the Saxton Rd wastewater pump station site on 13 June. Security fencing has since been installed at the site as well as security cameras. Photo: Kate Russell. “This is likely due to diesel being more commonly stored in large quantities for operating commercial equipment or home heating purposes,” says Matt. Nelson City Council’s group manager of infrastructure, Alec Louverdis, says they have since installed security fencing around the gener-

ators and fuel tank, as well as security cameras, at the pump station site. “Some existing vegetation has also been removed to improve visibility of the site from Saxton and Nayland Rds.” He says the feedback the council has had from police is that there is “insufficient evidence” to proceed

with an investigation. Matt says residents and businesses should ensure stores of fuel have adequate protection against theft. “We take burglary and theft incidents seriously, if you are in a situation where you feel unsafe, or you see something suspicious, call 111 immediately.”

Hutchwilco Group has opened its first South Island base in Nelson this month. Hutchwilco operations manager Bernard Orme says over the past decade the company has been expanding the commercial side of its business. The Hutchwilco Group South Island Service Centre, at 225 Akersten St, is well placed to service the safety needs of the large commercial fishing fleet operating from Port Nelson, as well as other South Island customers. A building has been fitted out for liferaft servicing, and will be able to hold stock of and therefore more easily supply rafts and other safety equipment from the brands Hutchwilco represents. “We’re looking forward to being able to provide a really high level of service and convenience for commercial operators who need to be out on the water and operating safely,” Bernard says.

Police officer infected with Covid after being breathed on by offender TRACY NEAL

Open Justice Reporter

A police officer tested positive for Covid days after an angry woman detained in the back of a patrol car intentionally breathed in his face. Chanelle Maree Graham-Ashby was initially charged with infecting a person with a disease over the incident on March 1 this year. The 23-year-old ultimately admitted a reduced charge of offensive behaviour in relation to the incident sparked by a police call out to an early morning fracas in a suburban Nelson street. Graham-Ashby was found yelling at a neighbour, enraged and holding up a cellphone in a way which showed she planned to smash it. The neighbour, who was alarmed by noises she was hearing next door, had stepped outside and was seen by Graham-Ashby to phone the police. The action prompted Graham-Ashby to wrench the phone from her neighbour, hurting her arm in the process. When the police arrived the phone was prised from her grip.

Youth get a voice on community boards KATE RUSSELL A programme which aims to get youth into governance has been well-received, with 16 young people signing up to join local boards. The Youth into Governance programme is the brainchild of Volunteer Nelson and kicked off last week at the Habitat Hub in Tāhunanui. The last month or two have been spent recruiting boards and young people for the programme and the 16 youths, aged 16 - 30, will be joining 16 different community boards which span interest areas from sport, to arts, to health, culture, and community. The Nelson Tasman Climate Forum, Nelson Women’s Centre, Sport Tasman, Habitat for Humanity, and Nelson Cancer Society are just some of the organisations involved. The idea of the programme is that a young person sits

on a community board for a year and participates in their monthly board meetings. They are matched with a mentor on that board. Both the young person and their mentor are invited to attend four learning forums throughout the year to support them. The forums are a chance to get together as a group and share learning. Volunteer Nelson manager, Gordon Oldfield, says the programme aims to get a youth voice into organisations and it supports young people to learn about how to “do governance” in a practical way. “It’s about empowering the next generation to participate. The knowledge gained will not only help young people with volunteer board roles but also with anything they might do in a paid capacity.” Year 12 Nayland College student Astrid Sayer, 16, is part

of the programme and will be sitting on the board for Nelson Women’s Centre. “I’m very excited to be on that board, I’ve heard about the amazing mahi they do,” she says. “The programme sung out to me as something that will help with other work I am doing and it has been great connecting with all the other young people involved.” Youth into Governance was originally started by Big Brothers Big Sisters Nelson Tasman, but they have handed over the running of the programme to Volunteer Nelson this year. It is supported by both Nelson City and Tasman District Councils. The programme is full for this year, but you can express your interest for next year’s programme at www.volunteernelson.org.nz or by emailing holly@volunteernelson.org.nz

As Crystal Gaiger walked out the doors of the Richmond Aquatic Centre on Friday leaving her job as marketing and administration coordinator, she reflected on 11 years in the job. She says it’s a workplace where innovation is celebrated, and no limits were placed on what you can achieve. She’s played a large part in the centre’s national ‘Outstanding Pool of the Year’, from a few years back. However, she is most proud of her work to see 500 free swimming lessons offered to children in the community. “Being able to provide a programme that makes a difference in people’s lives is wonderful.” Crystal worked with NBS to set up funding behind the sponsored lessons. She says all that she achieved was a team effort which couldn’t have been done without facility manager Vaughan Hope. She is moving to a job as office manager with Complete Water Solutions.

Public speaking club on verge of closing 6 April 2022

Powertalk Nelson-Waimea, which was on the verge of closing due to dwindling membership, will now be able to keep going due to new members coming on board.

Opinion

Opinion When I went to the Nelson Library it was shut with a sign saying, “closed for repair – go to Tāhunanui or Stoke ones”. It’s like Nelson’s becoming a ‘municipal disaster area’. Yes, the NCC’s plan to spend at least 50 million on a dubious ‘library/pleasure dome’ is like going from the sublime to the ridiculous. Anton Hyman Nobody has given the city council permission to remove the vital parking areas for cars - and to prioritise cycle lanes for a strident minority who want to get rid of cars in the city. It’s completely impracticable to think that the majority who need this most useful mode of transport – tradespeople, professionals, families, the elderly and the impaired can manage with bikes instead - even discounting rain and bad weather. And although some public transport will always be needed, if there’s one thing the spread of pandemics has brought home to us, it’s that crowding people together is a very good way of spreading cross-infection. It’s time for this council to stop listening to extremist minority groups with very little sense of reality. Amy Brooke

Concrete to replace weeds on SH6 This is shocking and such a poor decision, where is the progressive approach to conservation and creating more biodiverse habitats for bees and insects? Lazy and so short sighted I cannot believe it. Kerry Tate While there are brilliant examples all over the world of rewilding and natural infrastructure - our response is to concrete??? Not very carbon sequestration or nature friendly. Rachel Sanson Waka Kotahi please do not concrete our median strips and roundabouts. Other towns throughout NZ can sustain attractive medians so can Nelson. We want our city entrances and motorways to look inviting to visitors to our beautiful region. There are plenty of small permanent plantings to choose from that would suit and adapt to this situation. Concrete slabs look like Cemetries. We don’t want Nelson to be known as the dead centre of the SI. This rubbish about safety for workers has gone too far. Keep our city motorways and roundabounts attractive and alive looking!!! NO vision at all. Disgraceful Waka Kotahi. Sandy Brown ‘’work will be done incrementally over a number of years’’.. ermmmmm meaning never??? Most of the roundabouts in our districts are a DISGRACE... a really good tourist advertisement.. NOT.. makes me grinchy... Philippa Foes-Lamb What a total cop-out Waka Kotahi. While the rest of the world steps up urban greening and valuing the cooling benefits of trees and shrubs, NZ heads off in the opposite direction. Just another nail in the coffin of the Clean Green myth we constantly kid ourselves with. Brad Cadwallader

Last weekend we did a four-day tramp from Wairau River valley, back to our homes in Mount St, with ‘Ollie the Mountain Collie’. He had his own backpack for the journey and carried his own food and supplies. He crossed rivers, climbed snowy Mount Fell (1,602m) and descended down the formidable ‘Chain Ladder’, through bush at night and even over swing bridges with his owner Peter Kortegast (pictured). Ollie was officially tested with his reaction to a dead weka before being given approval to go into the Richmond forest park. Steve Webster. Why can’t we just sow some wildflowers seeds out instead of costly concrete? Not only would it be a tonne cheaper, but it would look nice, need next to no maintenance, and is great for bees. Rochelle Sandoe

COMMENT OF THE WEEK

Wow, nothing says I can’t be bothered like this does. Liam Ryan Definitely not concrete, please. We have enough of heat absorbing and radiant surfaces on this planet. Peter Paul Fierek Be better to put the concrete in the thousand potholes in the roads lol. Jill Copestake Shouldve been concrete ot ashpalt from the start one off cost

and no ongoing maintanance... Rowan Kerr For goodness’ sake. Provide jobs by planting flowers for bees and insects. Sad that they think concrete is the answer. Need to look at what other countries do. Some beautiful roadways and roundabouts. Ngaire Hasse I think they should just fence off weedy areas and put guinea pigs in to control the weeds. Ian Faulkner

Hundreds fed from pest cull So awesome to see a successful joint project between the council, forestry company and Ngāti Koata! A total win when pests are removed, and the meat is not wasted. Such a positive article! Mero Phee

Great to hear of this happening, feeding the whānau. Hope this kinda thing can be rolled out/ organised more regularly and in other areas too. Dee Dalzell Love this - hate the thought of those animals going to waste (even though I’m vegetarian!) Rylee Pettersson Exactly as it should be, “waste not, want not”. Les Edwards Great to see the meat largely not wasted. But it does open up a conversation about hunters being able to access both public/private land on a regular basis. The ballot idea is great. Also why the goat meat was wasted is beyond me. It is amazing both in taste and nutrition. Any recipe calling for lamb can be substituted with goat. Roast goat, goat curries, & goat tagine are fantastic!! Mary Sullivan

Reading celebrated by schools in region JENNY NICHOLSON Avid Year 9 readers from ten schools across the Top of the South met last week to contest the annual Reader’s Cup. Each team of five read six books prior to the competition and on the day answered questions from each. Nelson College for Girls librarian Kirsty Stark says the competition aims to drum up positivity toward reading. “It’s also a competitive event that is not sports based,” she says. “It encourages reading, enriches literacy and sets students up for a lifetime of reading for pleasure.”

NCG year nine student Samantha Borcovsky says she reads a lot of true stories, particularly those related to horses. She thought Pony, the horse-related book she read for the competition, was just okay. “My favourite are Mark Todd horse books” she says. Garin College’s Amelia Hall says she enjoys getting together with people who talk about books. “’Book speak’ is kind of like a different language,” Amelia says. “The Reader’s Cup is good because it helps you feel good about being nerdy.” Amelia says she was never

banned from devices. Instead, she had her lamp removed from her room so she couldn’t read. She was looking forward to being given another book to feed her reading obsession. Businesses around the region and further afield have been extremely supportive, sponsoring a range of prizes for winning teams, participation, and the best-dressed team. While each student took home a book, it was MGC Wizards from Marlborough Girls College who won the competition. Nayland Colleges ‘The Seuss’s’ placed third behind Motueka Speleologists.

Biotech start-up awarded $150k grant Nelson biotech start-up Kimer Med has been awarded a $150k grant to continue its ground-breaking research into antiviral protein development. Kimer Med was successful in the 202122 funding round from Callaghan Innovation, receiving the project grant which will reimburse $150,000 of its eligible research and development costs over the next two years. The research and development company’s vision is the end of viral disease in humans, pets and livestock.

They are currently working on developing the antiviral protein. Kimer Med co-founder and chief executive, Rick Kiessig, said he was thrilled to receive the Callaghan Grant. “Antiviral drugs will be increasingly important to treat the vast range of viral disease that affects humans and animals. “As we’ve seen recently with Covid-19, viruses tend to mutate and eventually evade vaccines, which is why a broad-spectrum antiviral that can effectively and safely treat viral infection is so important.”

The company says viruses such as Influenza, HIV, Dengue, Hepatitis and SARSCoV-2 (Covid-19) cause widespread illness and death and inflict enormous harm on human health and economies worldwide. Nelson-based Kimer Med is developing a broad-spectrum antiviral medication which has shown the potential to treat a wide range of viral diseases. The inspiration for the company’s formation came from research originally carried out at Massachusetts Institute of

Council to explore cancelling NCMA’s debt MAX FRETHEY Nelson City Council will investigate the possibility of remitting the debt it’s owed by the Nelson Centre of Musical Arts (NCMA). The decision was made at last Thursday’s meeting of the community and recreation committee after an amendment moved by councillor Rohan O’Neill-Stevens was carried by the council. NCMA director James Donaldson earlier told the committee that the centre was committed and prepared to pay off their debt to council. “We see that as an obligation that we intend to meet.” As of March 2022, the NCMA owes council $762,301. James was speaking to the committee to express the centre’s support for changes to its reporting model. He said that NCMA would deliver a Statement of Intent to the Community and Recreation Committee every three years which would inform six-monthly strategic reports from the NCMA. These would work alongside a Letter of Expectation from council every three years and a Memorandum of Understanding established between the council

These measures were recommended by consultant Bruce Robertson who conducted two reviews on the NCMA’s business model in 2019 and 2021. Bruce’s 2021 Review recommended that council should con-

sider remitting the centre’s debt on the condition the saved funds be used for its future renewal and development. Councillors agreed that the NCMA is a valuable asset to the city, and it was important for the centre to remain autonomous from council. However, there was a divide

amongst councillors as to whether remitting the NCMA’s debt to council was the most effective way to support the organisation. Rohan said council should consider eradicating the NCMA’s debt due to the centre’s importance to Nelson. “This is something with a relatively low cost to council with

significant benefits to NCMA and, through that, benefits to the community.” Councillor Matt Lawrey agreed with Rohan and said the imbalance of power between council and NCMA should be noted when considering why the centre didn’t ask for its debt remitted. “I do have to reflect on the power imbalance of our relationship… we have to do the responsible thing for the whole city,” he said. “The NCMA and the Nelson School of Music are taonga in our city.” However, some councillors thought remitting the NCMA’s debt might not be best for council’s relationship with the centre. Councillor Brian McGurk said that a conversation about the debt should wait until the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is being developed by the two organisations. “I admire the sentiment,” he said. “But I think this is a matter that would be best addressed as part of the MOU discussions.” Councillor Trudie Brand agreed with Brian and thought remitting the debt could have a negative impact on the positive relationship the centre and council have built since 2019.

Nelson Youth Theatre go Into the Woods KATE RUSSELL After a year of Covid-19 cancellations, Nelson Youth Theatre is returning to the stage this weekend to perform Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods. According to director Richard Carruthers, it’s third time they have tried to stage the musical this year. “It was due to be performed in January, but Covid stopped it, and then we tried to perform it over Easter, but it was too risky, so we had to pull the plug again. But finally, here we are.” The Broadway musical combines several different fairy tales and how they all happen to interrelate in the woods. It follows a baker and his wife who wish to have a child, Cinderella who wishes to go to the King’s festival, and Jack (and the beanstalk) who wishes his cow would give some milk. When a wicked witch from next door visits, she reveals to them that she placed a curse on their family, and the two set off on a journey ‘into the woods’ to reverse the curse. There the audience will meet Little Red Riding Hood, on her way to visit her grandmother, a wolf who loves tasty little girls, the witch’s daughter Rapunzel, and Cinderella’s and Rapunzel’s

up of youth aged from seven to 15-years-old. “Our main characters are very experienced, this is probably the 10th show they have been part of,” says Richard. With lots of singing and big chorus numbers, the one-hour-long

show is perfect for young firsttime theatre goers. Richard says despite not having put on any shows for a year, they have “weathered the Covid storm well”. “We’ve filled in time by running courses, most of them for free to

keep the interest alive. But everyone is really excited to be back on stage - it’s what these kids live for.” Into the Woods is on at the Theatre Royal on Saturday 9 July and Sunday 10 July. Head to www.theatreroyalnelson.co.nz for tickets.

Our Nelson

2022/23 Annual Plan Council adopted its Annual Plan for the 2022/23 financial year on 14 June. The Annual Plan provides an update to year two of the Long Term Plan 2021-31, highlighting changes to Council’s work programme and the impact those changes will have on rates and debt. You can find the Annual Plan at nelson.govt.nz/annual-plan-2022-23. Copies are available to view at all Council libraries, and the Customer Service Centre.

Key points Rates The overall increase in rates for 2022/23 is the same as forecast in the Long Term Plan, 5.4%. The 2022/23 rates for each property are available on Council’s website at nelson.govt.nz/rates-search. We know that rate increases can place a financial burden on households. Council has worked hard to keep these increases to a minimum while still delivering services to the community. Although Council has set the overall increase in rates at 5.4%, below the rate of inflation, the exact amount your rates will change depends on several factors, including QV’s 2021 valuation of your property. The revaluation does not generate any additional revenue for the Council. Rather, the updated base means rates will bespread between ratepayers in different proportions than before. For more information visit our.nelson.govt.nz/stories/your-ratesexplained. We will write to the most affected households to outline the financial assistance that is potentially available. You may qualify for financial help: •

Nelson City Council, on behalf of the Department of Internal Affairs, administers a rates rebate scheme. There is a base income level, however if your income is more than this you may still qualify, depending on the number of dependents you have and the total cost of your rates.

•

If you are over 65, you may consider applying to postpone payment of your rates. Rates postponement allows eligible older ratepayers to defer their rates for the rest of their life, or until they sell their house. Rates owed are paid when the property is sold.

For more information about either of the above schemes, please visit nelson.govt.nz/postponements-and-rebates, or contact us.

Expenditure •

In 2022/23 capital expenditure is expected to be $69.4 million1, an increase of $5.4 million from the Long Term Plan. Changes to capital projects consist largely of movements of funds within the next few years to allow for efficient work programmes and do not represent a reduction in levels of service.. The capital programme takes advantage of government subsidies, and includes projects from 2021/22 that were deferred due to the COVID-19 lockdown and other factors.

•

Operating expenditure is expected to be $144.4 million2 in 2022/23, $0.1 million more than in the Long Term Plan.

Net debt Net debt is forecast to be $161 million in 2022/23, $1.1 million higher than proposed in the Long Term Plan.

Learning through active play MAX FRETHEY A new organisation is helping young children to develop fundamental movement skills. Active Little Learners was founded in March by Anthony Denissen and Anita McLaren and together they’re aiming to help improve coordination, grow resilience and self-confidence, and develop social skills for children aged between two and five. Anthony has over 25 years’ experience in sport coaching and Anita was part of the Black Sticks Women and has represented New Zealand at the Olympics and Commonwealth Games. Anita says she met Anthony by chance and after realising their passions aligned, they built Active Little Learners. “This is just something that you wake up for and you’re really excited to do,” she says. “To see the kids and help them learn.” The programme aims to teach kids fundamental movement patterns and self-awareness which in turn helps to build confidence in children when they encounter physical activities later in life. “It’s not necessarily sport, it’s just generally coordination,” Anita says. “Giving them that self-confidence and

belief in themselves.” Anita says that the two- to five-yearold ages are a critical time for learning movement skills but the rise of technology has meant less children are having those active experiences while they’re still young. “A lot of parents don’t know how to play with their kids,” she says. “You want the kids to learn how to play versus relying on a screen.” Active Little Learners was founded as a charitable trust rather than as a business so they can impact as many children as possible. “We want to go to centres that wouldn’t necessarily have the opportunity,” Anthony says. “We want to go all the kids.” Currently they see about 350-400 kids a week across 15 childcare centres in Nelson and Tasman. However, as a charitable trust, a lack of funding can be an obstacle. Anita says they’d love for more organisations to come on board and support them so they can take on more team members because, with just the two of them, they currently don’t have the time to visit any more centres. “Hopefully we can keep growing,” she says. “We’re trying to get local businesses that can help local centres,” she adds.

Winter illnesses a concern for doctors JENNY NICHOLSON A local GP says the combination of Covid-19 and influenza hitting the community is the most pressing concern for those working in general practice. Nelson GP Graham Loveridge says influenza has hit schools with some children being hospitalised. Most others have had respiratory symptoms for a few days followed by a time feeling wiped out. “In some parts of the country, elective surgery has been cancelled because hospitals are busy with Covid and the flu,” he says. Graham says there are things people can do to reduce the incidence of the flu. “A mask is protection against catching the flu.” He says the habits we got into with Covid-19 including mask wearing, washing hands, and sanitising hands when we have been in crowds, are all helpful in avoiding the flu. While the flu vaccine has always been offered to children with asthma, it is now available to all children. Graham says children get a better immune response than adults to the vaccine.

“The vaccine gives them a good chance of avoiding the flu and helps parents too because children are less likely to bring flu home from school.” Phone and video consultations for those who may be infectious are another precaution surgeries are offering. Graham says about 20 per cent of his consultations are now virtual. “Virtual consultations are often very satisfactory,” he says. “However, there are sometimes face-to-face consultations are essential. You do have to listen to a heart, or see a rash, or examine a knee.” There has been discussion nationally regarding appointments for medical certificates stretching an already busy service. Graham says his experience is that most employers are aware their staff need to be off work for Covid-19 for a week and have several days to a week off for the flu. He says it is more irritating to both the worker and doctor when a certificate is required for just one or two days sick leave. “It’s a niggle but not a huge problem,” he says. “If people are sick longer than four or five days, maybe they would benefit from talking to a doctor or nurse anyway.”

Nelson kitchen wins major design award STAFF REPORTER A Nelson kitchen has won a major design award at the National Kitchen and Bathroom Association Excellence in Design Awards. Held on Saturday night at a gala awards ceremony in Queenstown, the awards are a celebration of the best kitchens and bathrooms in New Zealand. Nelson designers Anna Thomas and George Molnar of Bays Joinery won the Top of South Chapter Recognition Award for their work on a kitchen in

a hilltop house located on two prime sections overlooking Nelson Bays and the Mt Arthur Ranges. A contemporary build, constructed 15 years ago, the home recently underwent an exterior renovation to modernise the outside of the home. To help the interior match its new exterior, a modern and edgy kitchen was required with the latest products and appliances. To achieve this, the kitchen island has been increased and repositioned to improve the connection between the work-

ing space and the social space. A thickened island bench top, in a contrasting colour, was used to differentiate the zone. A strong colour for the back wall and island cabinetry was introduced and timber now flows around the walls and into the office space to connect the two areas. Judges said the space had a fantastic connection to the outdoors. “Who wouldn’t want to stand at that sink and make the most of those stunning views? The manufacturing has been executed to a very high quality.”

Giants unable to find answers to tough defence in home game loss JACK MALCOLM A lacklustre second-half performance has seen the Mike Pero Nelson Giants lose 85-75 to the Taranaki Airs at Trafalgar Centre on Saturday. After an incredibly hot start, the Giants raced out to an early 10-point lead in the opening minutes of the game, but they couldn’t maintain their pressure as the game wore on. They were able to maintain small leads into the end of the first and second quarters, but it seemed like a different team came out for the Airs in the second half. Their defence levelled up as the Giants struggled to find inroads and were forced into poor shot options. The changes saw the Giants outscored by five points in the third quarter and eight points in the fourth. A 36 per cent field goal percentage highlighted the struggles they had finding the net, with only 29 of their 80 shots resulting in points. Sam Thompson was the best of the starters for the Giants, with a game-high 25 points and four rebounds, while Alex Mcnaught was solid on defence with four

steals before he fouled out with seconds on the clock. Jarrod West showed he’s still in form, with two insanely deep three-pointers to close out the game, but they were too little too late against the strong Taranaki team. With 31 points from the bench, they had shooters throughout their team with Anthony Hilliard top-scoring with 20. The loss saw the Giants hand over the Brian Rampton Trophy, which has been contested between the two teams since 2008. They also slipped to second on the competition ladder behind the Auckland Tuatara, who have two additional points having played two extra games. Giants head coach Mike Fitchett says they weren’t good enough against a great side. “Taranaki did a hell of a job taking us out of what we wanted to do. “It’s the best gameplan we’ve faced all season.” He says they had been shooting good the last couple of weeks, but it wasn’t there tonight. “They did a good job and we didn’t match their intensity or energy. “We’ll figure it out,” Mike says.

Nelson College Quad winners again JACK MALCOLM Nelson College’s first XV have won their fourth Quadrangular tournament in a row with a 48-7 win over Christ’s College in Whanganui last week. The win was never in doubt, with winger Callum Robertson dotting down his first of two tries three minutes into the game. Nelson College would race out to a 24-0 halftime lead, with Christ’s only points coming on the other side of the break. They would score one converted try before Robertson was in for his second just two minutes later as Nelson College kicked back into gear. Flanker Tayne Hemopo also scored a double, with the Nel-

son team finding success in both the forwards and backs. Twenty-four unanswered points in the second half saw Christ’s wilt as they struggled to respond to the pressure. The game also doubled as a Miles Toyota First XV Championship game, with Nelson College taking a clear lead on the standings ahead of St Thomas of Canterbury and Christchurch Boys College. In the 3v4 playoff, hosts Whanganui Collegiate overcame Wellington College in a tight 15-13 game, with a 63rd-minute penalty deciding the result. It was a bittersweet result for Wellington, who missed a penalty with time expired against Nelson College that would have seen them advance to the final.

Nelson College have reason to celebrate as their first 15 has gone from strength to strength this year, leading the Miles Toyota First XV championship and securing another Quadrangular tournament title with a 48-7 win over Christ’s College. Photo: Evan Barnes/Shuttersport (file). After trailing at the break 1912, a flurry of tries to start the

second half saw Nelson College race out to a 10-point lead be-

fore Wellington College fought back. They would retake the lead with a converted try and 10 minutes to play before Timoci Sauira scored with a minute on the clock to take back the advantage. Wellington College, not to be outdone, fought back to within range to have a chance with first five-eighth Stanley Solomon teeing up his ill-fated attempt in the seventy-sixth minute. Nelson College coach Jono Phillips said he was very happy with the performance following their game with Wellington. “It was a real see-saw of a game, and a great exhibition of secondary school rugby. “Eleven tries and all the history, pride and the passion.”

Marist face uphill battle for back-to-back Tasman Trophies JACK MALCOLM Marist is the last hope for local Tasman Trophy glory after Wanderers and Stoke were eliminated following the final game of round-robin play last Saturday. With Kahurangi still in the mix with a home semi-final, there is still a good likelihood the trophy remains on this side of the Whangamoas, but not without a lot of hard work. With Marist drawing Central in the 1v4 semi-final, they will have to be better than the team that lost to them 29-26 two Saturdays ago. With no home advantage this time, it will be a hard game with Central coming into form with a convincing 85-7 win over Stoke last weekend. Despite losing several players to suspension, the Blenhiembased team has only had one loss so far this season. They were in control of their game when playing Marist, who, despite having All Black

loose forward Shannon Frizell in their starting 15, looked unconvincing on attack against a perceived stronger side. Marist head coach Shawn Begg identified that their kicking game needed improving after the match, with several of their clearances not providing them the breathing space to be effective. While it was better in their win last Saturday over Wanderers, it will need to step up again to another level if they want to be playing finals football in two weekends time. The defending champions in Marist have an uphill battle, but they have been here before and have the experience to combat the adversity. It will be unfamiliar territory as they go into the game as underdogs, but it’s an obstacle they will have to face head-on. With the likes of prop Jake Wetere and first-five eighth Sam Briggs having Heartland Championship experience, they have a number of players

in their ranks who can change the course of a game. In the other semi-final of the weekend, Kahurangi will be hoping to recreate their performance last Saturday against Renwick as they play again in an elimination game. After beating them 11-7 at home, they will be eager to improve and make it a more comfortable performance after such a gritty win. The Kahurangi team have quietly amassed a seven-win and one-loss record this season, avoiding a lot of the drama while getting the job done. With the second-best points differential in the competition, 158 after eight games, they have the firepower to put the nail in the coffin of Renwick, who have struggled at times to put points on the board. They have the only negative points differential, with -7, in the top four and will be looking to score more freely this weekend.

NBS head of people and client experience Toni Lane and Tasman Mako women head coach Mel Bosman say their new partnership will help continue growing the women’s game in the region. Photo: Tim Cuff.

New principal sponsor for female rugby in Nelson Tasman NBS, major sponsors of the Tasman Rugby Union (TRU) since 2014, have added support of all female rugby to their portfolio of community sponsorship in the region. The local banking services provider now supports female rugby from the secondary school level up to front of jersey sponsorship of the Tasman Mako women. Toni Lane, NBS Head of People and Client Experience, says spon-

soring female sport fits well within their philosophy of giving back to the community and ensuring that local sport thrives. “By supporting the Tasman Mako women, we are helping to provide a pathway for local female players. “With the Rugby World Cup for women being held in New Zealand later this year, the timing of this opportunity to help grow female rugby participation couldn’t

be better.” TRU chief executive officer Lyndon Bray says NBS have established themselves as a significant and valued member of the local community. “For them to recognise the value of female rugby to connect with their stakeholders is particularly pleasing. “We welcome their commitment to our female game and to our union”.

The Tasman Mako women’s Farah Palmer Cup (FPC) kicks off in Whangarei on Saturday 23 July against Northland. The team will again be coached by former Black Fern (#119), Mel Bosman, who is the only female head coach in the competition. She will be assisted by former Tasman Mako halfback, Billy Guyton, who coached Marist to their NBS Tasman Trophy senior women’s club premiership.

Mel says she’s excited about the season ahead, with an ever-growing pool of talent to select from. “On the back of some strong performances in the NBS Tasman Trophy senior women’s club competition, we’ll be able to name a competitive squad for the FPC campaign”. Two FPC matches will be played in Nelson, with the team hosting Taranaki on 30 July and Hawke’s Bay on 20 August.

Harry Browne begrudgingly turned up to Krankin’ Kids when he was 10 years old after his mum signed him up. He says he didn’t really like mountainbiking, but he thought he would give it a go. Now, six years later he’s working as a coach at the same programme that helped foster his love for the sport. “Krankin’ Kids made me like biking. It’s a more fun environment, and now I’ve got the basic skills to have fun on my bike. “It’s not a job, it’s more of a hobby. It’s just another ride I get to do.” He also races, saying he enters pretty much everything he can except cross-country. “With racing, the whole en-

much always have fun and meet new people. “I made friends at Krankin’ Kids that I rode with outside of it, and it’s a good way to spend a Saturday.” Harry says he doesn’t have ambitions to be a professional rider, but is keen to

earn his professional mountainbiking instructor certification and spend a gap year in North America. “I want to coach in Whistler on a gap year.” His favourite trails in the region are Butters and Te Ara Koa on Fringed Hill, because they combine technical riding with a good amount of flow. “I like the more technical side of mountainbiking, especially the exposed rocks and tight corners.” He wanted to thank Krankin’ Kids for helping foster his love for the sport. “They built me up from pretty much nothing. I’ve done 10 terms of Krankin’ Kids and it got me into the sport. “It’s really good to see kids progress like how I did,” he says.

Nelson coaches overrepresented in national volleyball league JACK MALCOLM Three local volleyball coaches have been appointed head coaching roles for the upcoming National Volleyball League (NVL). Neil Anderson, Brendan Crichton and Colin Redpath will helm three of the eight teams across the men’s and women’s competitions to be played in October. Neil, who won the league’s first instalment with the Southern Pounamu last year, has moved to the Northern Moana, while Colin will take the Central Hauwhenua and Brendan the women’s Hauwhenua. With Covid-19 seeing the league moved from its original June date, Neil says the new dates were decided to avoid disrupting the player’s international competition calendar. The move from the South Island-based Pounamu to the Auckland-based Moana has also been a change, he says.

“When they called me up, I told them ‘you know I’m a Southern boy?’” Despite his reservations about backing an Auckland team, he says he’s excited to be back in the league for another year. “The idea with the national league is an opportunity to aspire for something that’s not overly expensive. “There’s a message to people, if you really want to get into the game and work hard at it, there’s an avenue.” “Last year, with no overseas tours, all the best players in New Zealand put their hands up.” The NVL is a draft league, where the coaches select players from around the country who have signed up for a three-day competition. Neil says volleyball up and down the country is “booming”, and the league’s strength highlights the sport’s rapid growth. “I think we should have two teams from the South Island and two more from

out of the Auckland area. “The number of people, kids and adults, playing the game is forcing people to relook at how they have competitions.” He remembers coaching at the 1993 secondary school championships there was one division, now there are four. “In the South Island, it’s the same thing. There’s 11 teams in the Southern Zone division one, it’s up year on year.” The experience of himself, Brendan and Colin in coaching the NVL is an exciting advertisement for the quality of the game in Nelson, he says. “I think if you look at the results I’ve had, Brendan’s had, everyone’s had, it speaks for itself.” With 41 years of experience coaching, Neil believes one of his biggest hurdles is getting a team on the same page. “It’s a bit of a jigsaw puzzle. “Every time I coach a team, I want it to do its best. And that’s the challenge; it’s every time.”

Neil Anderson is one of three local coaches that have been named as head coaches ahead of the National Volleyball League, which pits the best players in the country against each other. Photo: Jack Malcolm.

Speedway Awards recognize and remember another strong year of local racing Photo: Ray Salisbury

SNAILS IN RESIDENCE:

Although this column usually features our ‘Birds in Residence’, this time we’d like to shine some light on a unique new invertebrate at the Sanctuary

THE POWELLIPHANTA HOCHSTETTERI CONSOBRINA (P. h. consobrina) The Powelliphanta is a genus of large carnivorous land snails that is endemic to New Zealand and is considered one of the more threatened species of invertebrates. Powelliphanta are carnivorous and largely prey on earthworms which they suck up like spaghetti. Approximately 6000 tiny razor sharp teeth help it to eat larger prey, such as slugs. During the day the snails take cover under leaf litter, logs and other nooks present in their environment. Powelliphanta thrive in moist native forests and sub-alpine environments, however are often impacted by introduced pests such as pigs, rats and possums. Like most snail species, Powelliphanta are hermaphroditic, meaning each animal has both male and female sex organs. When they mate, they cross fertilise, meaning both animals are fertilised at the same time. The snails lay hard-shelled eggs which are large in relation to the size of the adult. Their eggs are laid in clusters of two or three in moist moss or leaf litter. The subspecies Powelliphanta hochstetteri consobrina, which has recently been re-introduced to the Brook Waimarama Sanctuary is one of the larger of the Powelliphanta species with some snails attaining shell diameters of over 60mm. This species may take up to five years to reach sexual maturity and can live for 12-14 years or more! Like most Powelliphanta they grow continuously throughout their life, but growth slows after the first few years. The establishment of a population of Powelliphanta hochstetteri consobrina within The Brook Waimārama Sanctuary will create the first predator-free population of this subspecies.

Open: 10am-4pm Tues-Sunday for the School Holidays

The Milestone Homes Top of the South Speedway Awards night was booked out as the club celebrated the year’s achievements on and off the track. The opening was dedicated to production saloon driver Pam Nixon, who had passed away overnight due to a short Illness. Her fellow competitors were in awe of a special person who brought a bit of glamour to racing that will be sorely missed by many. It was a busy night for several drivers who picked up multiple trophies, with Jordan Gillespie, Locky Martin, Ryan Musgrove, Callum Russ and Brent Steer return-

ing to the podium multiple times. Locky and Taylor Martin did double duty, picking up uncle Brett Nicholls’ trophies as well, with Riley Eathorne and Morgan Dumelow sharing the stock car spoils. The club representative team of the year award went to the Nelson Knights Street Stock team, while Steve Pomeroy was club official of the year. Graeme Porter picked up the Harrop Cup for club member of the year award for his support of the club as well as fundraising for several charities during the season. Ryan Musgrove was competitor of the year, while the ultimate prize, the sportsper-

son of the year award, went to Connor Rangi. It was a huge year for Connor, who also picked up the Hydralink Sprint Car Series, having travelled all over the South Island competing during the season. There was another standing ovation and toast to Wayne Martin in his final act as club president, before a few more photo opportunities celebrating a busy awards night. Wayne Russ was named as the new president at the club’s AGM, with a largely unchanged committee that will start the new season in September. The club was again bought together with the passing of

club stalwart Sam Satherley, the rock of the side-car grade for many years. Still padding up until the very last, Sam was a man of few words but in the latter years he took on the role of prepping the track. He did more laps than any other other club member, perfecting the track surface for race night, with his last lap to the roar of side-cars forming a guard of honour as he left the track for the final time. The new draft calendar is on the club’s Facebook page, with the drivers busy in the sheds and a few new cars due out when racing resumes in October.

Netball Prices Waimea Ahurei have evened the scores against Jacks OPD with a hardfought 56-59 win. Other results from the NBS premier netball competition saw FCL Nelson Men beat Richmond F45 75-33 and Nelson Girls College senior A beat Prices Waimea Pango 54-40. It was action from the outset as Jacks OPD and Prices Waimea Auhrei traded blows, with neither team getting a clear advantage through the first half. The final minutes were all Prices as they drove home the win with a fivepoint unanswered run after falling just

short in their first-round encounter.

nament, with finals this Saturday.

Hockey

Basketball

Nelson representative hockey saw a clean sweep of Marlborough over the weekend, with the men winning 4-2, the women winning 3-0 and the senior b women winning 3-1. In local hockey, Rewa Hockey Club has retaken the P2 women’s Kahurangi Shield with a 3-0 win over Tasman Hockey Club. This week sees Nelson play host to the Vantage National U18 Women’s Championship, with 21 teams from around the country playing a week-long tour-

A lacklustre second-half performance has seen the Mike Pero Nelson Giants lose 85-75 to the Taranaki Airs on Saturday night. After taking small leads into the end of the first and second quarters, it seemed like a different team came out for the Airs in the second half. The changes saw the Giants outscored by five points in the third quarter and eight points in the fourth, with a 36 per cent field goal percentage highlighting their struggles finding the net.
