Nelson’s i-SITE to close SARA HOLLYMAN

Nelson’s i-SITE visitor centre will close at the end of the month as a decline in visitors and bookings has meant the business model is “no longer viable”.

Nelson Regional Development

Agency (NRDA), which manages i-SITE, made the announcement over the weekend, citing changes in visitor behaviour and the lack of international visitors over the past two years.

NRDA says, although the borders are reopening, demand for the i-

SITE’s services over the coming summer is not expected to be high.

The Millers Acre site will close on June 30 for a period of up to 24 months to allow the NRDA to come up with a new plan on how to offer visitor information.

The Department of Conservation Visitor Centre at Millers Acre will continue to operate at the current site and is unaffected by the i-SITE closure. NRDA says there has been a substantial decline in visitor volumes and decreased bookings at the i-SITE over the

past 10 years as changing visitor needs and behaviour, particularly moves online, have meant in-person information and bookings have become less relevant to many visitors.

Nelson’s i-SITE to close FROM PAGE 1 The change and decline have sharply accelerated since Covid-19, to a point that services can no longer be sustained on the current model.

“It is time to review and rethink the provision of visitor information to be fully relevant to our future visitors as we plan for their return over the coming 18 months,” says Fiona Wilson, chief executive of NRDA. “Pausing the i-SITE, gives us the time to seek a new solution for visitors that will better fit their future needs while ensuring a new operation will be financially viable” NRDA visitor destination manager Tracee Neilson says the closure presents the opportunity to “something innovative” in

“During the pausing of the physical i-SITE we can revamp our visitor services to provide innovative and cost-effective services that will benefit both visitors and locals. We now have

the time to better understand future visitor needs as we are already aware that visitors are pre-booking more of their itineraries before leaving home.”

NRDA say their focus over the next 12 months will be to con-

tinue to support the region’s tourism businesses and build on strategies to influence via online and digital marketing.

Christchurch, Oamaru and Invercargill have also closed their i-SITEs over the past few years.

Fiona says staff will be “fully supported” as NRDA works through the coming months.

The i-SITE will close its doors on 30 June, however the phone line (03-548 2304) and email address (nelsonisite@nelsontas man.nz) will continue to operate and be managed by NRDA. Over the next few months, the NRDA will be working closely with the Nelson City Council to ensure visitor services in Nelson during this time can continue.

A detailed transition plan will be announced in the coming weeks.

$9.8 million stormwater upgrade set to begin KATE RUSSELL In just over a month, work will commence on what is the second stage of the Little Go Stream project at the beginning of Rutherford St. The first stage started in 2016 and stretched from Nelson College to the Admiral’s Motor Lodge on Waimea Rd. The $9.8 million budget involves the installation of a new, bigger 1.8m-diameter stormwater pipe that will be able to handle a 1-in-100-year flood event, as well as other key infrastructure services.

“Improving our flood resilience is key to Nelson’s longterm success,” says Nelson City Council’s group manager infrastructure, Alec Louverdis. “This project will not only ensure the city’s stormwater infrastructure can handle the increasingly common heavy rainfall events Aotearoa is experiencing due to climate change, but also support future capacity for much-needed housing development.”

In 2011, severe flooding caused damage to sections of Little Go Stream, leading to flooding of Nelson College and several properties in Rutherford St. The council has

Nelsonian honoured for shining light on racism MAX FRETHEY Nelsonian Dr Oliver Sutherland has been recognised for services to law and Māori and Pacific communities, as part of the Queen’s Birthday and Platinum Jubilee Honours.

Oliver will be appointed as an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit. However, his work of bringing Aotearoa’s racial discrimination to light wouldn’t be immediately obvious when you just look at his academic qualifications.

“From ’69 until I retired in 2004, my background was scientific research and my personal research was with insects,” he says.

Oliver says he believed New Zealand had the best race relations in the world until he spent a year in California where he witnessed massive racial discontent and suppression which forced him to study his own country more critically.

Oliver became the secretary of the Nelson Māori Committee in 1969 and saw the differences in legal representation between Māori and Pacific defendants presenting in court and European defendants.

Māori and Pacific children as young as 13 were appearing un-

represented and unsupported in Nelson courts and pleading guilty after being arrested by police for often minor offences.

Oliver and committee chairman John Hippolite initiated an informal legal aid scheme for Māori and Pacific defendants in Nelson.

The scheme resulted in an increase of Māori defendants with lawyers to 79 per cent, from the pre-scheme figure of 18 per cent, and reduced imprisonments by a third.

“John and I had no legal training and not much experience in the court system,” Oliver says. “But we knew enough to know that representation by a lawyer was essential.”

The Nelson initiative led to the establishment of a national duty solicitor scheme in 1974.

Oliver later established the Auckland Committee on Racism and Discrimination (ACORD) with Māori and Pacific leaders to analyse and identify instances of racism and advocate for change.

While working with ACORD, Oliver publicised his findings of children, some only eight-yearsold, who were deemed to be out of control. They were sent to Lake Alice Psychiatric Hospital and endured electroconvulsive therapy, which was described as ‘being

“It was the first time any of us, the first time that most New Zealanders, ever knew what was happening at Lake Alice.”

At one point, the Minister of Social Welfare at the time, Bert Walker, publicly blamed Oliver

and ACORD for any distress suffered by the children for bringing it into the national spotlight.

“I, personally, was reviled by cabinet ministers, the prime minister, and others,” Oliver says.

Nelson City Council officers are investigating ceiling tiles at the Elma Turner Library. The investigations were scheduled after council received an earthquake-prone building notice due to the ceiling tiles at Civic House. As a result, contractors carried out investigation work last Friday.

Council will report on the findings of the investigation when they have been prepared by engineers carrying out the work. Council says the safety of the public and staff working at the library is their highest priority.

Police target drink drivers

Around 1000 vehicles were stopped at checkpoints in Tasman during the weekend of 28 May as part of an increased focus on drink driving. Staff processed 21 drivers for excess breath alcohol, with readings ranging from 296 micrograms to 1068 micrograms per litre of breath.

Police also stopped another driver on Monday, 30 May, who blew 981 micrograms. The limit for drivers over 20-years-old is 250 micrograms. Checkpoints were set up across Nelson again over Queen’s Birthday weekend in an effort to deter unsafe driving behaviour.

Stabbing in Stoke

A man in his 40s was taken to Nelson Hospital with stab wounds after an “assault” in Stoke on Friday night. Police say they were alerted to the incident at around 6:45pm at a Polstead Rd property. A second man was taken into police custody shortly after the incident but roads in the area were blocked for some time after. Po-

has now been presented as evidence to the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in Care whose findings are set to be announced next year.

However, Oliver doesn’t take sole credit for his efforts and would like to acknowledge the people he has worked with over the years “First to acknowledge is the Nelson Māori Committee, particularly the chairman John Hippolite,” he says.

“For their leadership and their commitment to tackling the racism of the judicial system.”

Oliver also recognises the importance of the work done by ACORD. “That dedication from ACORD in Auckland, building on the work of the Nelson Māori Committee, did bring about positive changes.”

And finally, Oliver would like to thank those who nominated him.

“I appreciate the people who nominated me for this award. It was very kind of them.”

However, the apparent about turn by the Government over the past decades has not been unnoticed

by Oliver.

“It’s amusing to be honoured, which is a very nice and kind thing, when so long ago we were hated by the politicians.”

lice say the 50 year-old man taken into custody has been charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and was due to appear in court yesterday.

Placenta planting

Burying the ‘whenua’ or placenta is a sacred process in Maori culture and this year’s mass planting takes place on Saturday 11 June. Nelson City Council have designated an area at the Centre of NZ for the New Zealand College of Midwives and iwi to facilitate the annual planting, which is becoming increasingly popular among a range of backgrounds. Meet at Branford Park’s main car park at 2pm.

Cave closed to save spiders

The Crazy Paving Cave in the Kahurangi National Park’s Ōparara Basin closed last week for 12 months to protect the rare Nelson cave spider. Only one egg sac has been seen since 2018 and Department of Conservation senior biodiversity ranger Scott Freeman says that could be due to the number of human visitors.

Cinema opens early

The opening of Richmond’s first cinema came sooner than expected in May. Originally planned to launch “sometime in June”, the cinema chain welcomed audiences to limited screenings of Top Gun: Maverick, the current number one blockbuster in New Zealand.

It was a soft launch of the Silky Otter cinema before opening at full capacity on 4 June.

Housing market adjusting back toward normal JENNY NICHOLSON Local house buyers can again make an offer subject to the sale of their home as the market returns to a bit of normalcy, according to Summit Richmond branch manager Gordon Webb.

He says that while there are still multiple offers on houses, and houses priced correctly are still moving, the increase in listings means things are evening out for buyers and sellers.

“Normal is good,” Gordon says. “The shortage in supply from a few months back caused a frantic market and that meant shattered dreams for people. It’s never nice to have to disappoint people.”

He says when people can put their own home on the market when they are thinking to buy, it increases the stock volume which helps with equilibrium.

“When there was scarce supply, everyone was chasing the

same house.”

That meant people who offered for a house subject to their selling missed out. Those who sold and were out of the market for six weeks got left behind.

Now, while he doesn’t classify the market as a buyers’ market, Gordon says things are adjusting to where some properties sell quickly, and others take longer.

The Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ) figures released in May showed that houses for sale in the Top of the South region in April were taking an average of 37 days to sell, which is higher than the ten-year-average of 33 days.

The REINZ report says vendors are increasingly aware of meeting the market now sentiment has changed.

“An increase of stock to the market is offering more choice to buyers who are becoming more selective,” REINZ’s Jen Baird says.

Harcourt’s Nelson Tasman sales manager Chris Davies says most interest in properties is within the first two weeks of listing.

“Houses that are priced realistically are still selling quickly with multiple offers,” Chris says. “Properties that are unrealistically priced are taking longer and that is pushing out the average time to sell.”

He says that since Christmas things have changed, and buyers now have a lot of properties to choose from. It’s important for those who want to sell their house to get things sorted before going on the market. Getting reports done, tidying up, painting and renovations, can all be the difference in selling or not.

“Buyers are looking for reasons to cross a property off their list so it’s crucial that marketing and price are right from day one,” Chris says. “You need to be at the top of the list, not middle of the pack.”

Device used to stop hundreds of drink drivers TRACY NEAL

Open Justice Reporter

Dylan Sexton likes to live on the edge.

The crewman on a Nelson-based deep sea fishing trawler has paid for it in court appearances resulting from poor judgements behind the wheel of a car; the latest involving a crash that injured someone.

Not only that; he was driving a car he shouldn’t have been – the one without the breath-testing device fitted after a drink-driving offence.

Sexton recently stood in the Nelson District Court with his head hung, wearing a t-shirt with the words “Fast Life” emblazoned across its front, as a judge meted out his latest punishment.

Sexton said that he whipped out in his other car to buy clutch fluid for the car with the fitted device, which he claims was damaged during a break-in.

That decision has put him back at the bottom of the ladder he had only just started to climb.

In June last year Sexton joined thousands of others from around the country to receive an Alcohol Interlock Order (AIO) for drinkdriving related offending since the legislation came into force in 2017.

Interlock devices are wired into a vehicle to prevent it starting if alcohol is detected on a driver’s

They are an option in sentencing first-time offenders with very high alcohol level readings and repeat drink-drivers for whom little else has made a difference.

Ministry of Justice figures showed that, across the Tasman policing area, 317 repeat drink drivers received an interlock order from 2016/2017 to June 2021.

The data for repeat offenders is gathered by justice service area, whereas it’s gathered by district courts for first time offenders, of which there were 50 sentenced in the Nelson District Court over the same period, and 31 in the Blenheim District Court.

One quarter of all 11,314 drink drivers around the country sentenced to an interlock order were first-time offenders.

At Sexton’s initial appearance in the Nelson District Court last June, he was disqualified from driv-

ing for 28 days and made subject to a zero alcohol licence order.

That meant he needed to stick to the rules during the minimum 12 months an interlock device was installed in his car.

While the courts dish out the sentences, Waka Kotahi (New Zealand Transport Agency) administers the programme and issues the alcohol interlock licences.

From July 2018 to June 2021 it has granted, or partially granted, 74 of these licences to drivers in the Tasman District, 75 in Nelson and 88 in Marlborough.

Sexton might have got his standard licence back after a minimum three years, but his re-offending while on an interlock is now among the 59 recorded in this district from 2017 to 2021, police figures show.

Just before Christmas last year, Sexton’s fishing vessel returned to port and after a 5am shift helping to unload the boat, he drank three cans of bourbon and cola.

Later that day, he was caught driving without the appropriate interlock device after slam-

ming into another car which injured a passenger, while speeding through an inner-city intersection in Nelson.

He was charged with careless driving, driving contrary to an alcohol interlock licence and driving with excess breath alcohol as an alcohol interlock licensee.

In April this year Sexton was sent back to square one: a further 28day disqualification before being able to get a new alcohol interlock device fitted, and more community work.

Alcohol interlock devices can only be leased for a monthly fee, which the sentenced driver pays.

Fees are about $183 a month, or about $133 for those eligible for a government subsidy, determined by their income status.

There are also installation and removal costs, also paid by the driver.

National Road Policing Centre

director Superintendent Steve Greally says the devices are aimed at addressing serious alcohol-related offending and mostly work well, but there is a sector of the population which remains hard to reach, and that includes people with addiction problems.

“Interlocks are just one proven measure but, like anything, there are some people who you just can’t reach, whether they’re before the court or subject to other prevention or intervention measures, they’re very hard to reach.”

He acknowledged the big part alcohol played in people’s lives, which was fine until someone decided - no matter what they had drunk - to get behind the wheel.

The seven stages of the alcohol interlock licence programme There are seven stages of the alcohol interlock licence programme to which serious drink drivers and repeat offenders are now sentenced.

Mandatory interlock sentencing applies to anyone caught driving with an alcohol level at or more than 800 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath, or more than 160 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood, or who has been convicted of a drink-driving offence within five years of the sentencing offence.

College puts field up for adoption Funding drives have started for the Nelson College front field’s much-needed facelift later this year.

Nelson College Old Boys’ Association has confirmed it will cover the costs of ripping up the field to improve drainage and irrigation, with no cost to the school.

As part of the funding drive, you can ‘adopt’ one of the field’s 8750 square metres of the field for $20, to help meet the cost of the project.

Adopting does not infer ownership, but it is a way to show your support for the iconic fields’ revitalisation, says Nelson College Old Boys’ Association president Chris Harvey.

The funding target is $175,000, which will go a long way to funding the project, he says.

“We estimate it will cost in excess of $200,000. . . but we have friends of the college willing to help out with lending their machinery.”

He says the decision was made to improve the field after watching a muddy game of rugby and having a conversation that something needed to be done.

“In recent years, the main field in winter becomes almost unplayable and we’ve had to move games.

“That field has produced 22 All Blacks. It’s such a beautiful ground but looking down at the mud it doesn’t look it.”

The field does have drainage, but over the years it has been completely blocked and unusable.

Chris says the reception to their plans of improving the iconic field has been fantastic so far.

“Projects like these bring people out of the woodwork ... not just old boys, but fans of the team, of the sport and friends of the college.”

The current plan will see shovels in the ground by early spring with the intention to have the field ready for the 2023 school year.

It is undecided how the Old Boys’ Association will recognise those who donate to the project, but Chris says they will have something to show their appreciation.

More information on how to donate can be found on the Nelson College Old Boys’ Association Facebook page.

Former Green candidate to run for council Nelson geologist Dr Aaron Stallard has announced that he is standing for Nelson City Council at this year’s elections.

Aaron, who was previously in the public eye as the Green Party candidate in the 2020 general elections says he is standing as an independent under the banner of ‘moving forward together’.

He says that the next council term will be a time of great change, requiring a shared vision and cooperation among Council, the business community, iwi, community groups and individuals.

He is the founder of Nelson-based company Stallard Scientific Editing, an English-editing service for researchers, academics, and businesses worldwide, that employs around 30 people.

An active member of the Zero Carbon Nelson Tas-

man group, calling for climate action and highlighting the risks of building a new library on a riverside site prone to flooding and inundation, he says he is standing for improvements in Council leadership and communication, climate action, community engagement, and decarbonising transport, and believes his skills and experience will be well suited to the role.

“As a geologist, I understand the science and politics of climate change, and as a father and business owner I understand the needs of businesses, families, and the wider community,” he says.

“I’m asking the people of Whakatū Nelson to trust me with their vote and, in return, I will commit to serving them at the Council table and to working hard to shape a better future for all of us.”

Black Cat dairy owner to retire after 23 years MAX FRETHEY Ray Murray has sold the Black Cat after 23 years of owning the Stoke dairy.

“It hasn’t really sunk in yet,” he says.

His reasoning for selling is simple.

“It’s time to move on … I’m at retirement age now.”

Ray has worked in dairies for 27 years, working at the Night Owl on Waimea Road for four years before taking over the Black Cat. “I’ve always been in retail, I used to manage supermarkets.”

Ray’s been working at the Black Cat so long that he’s seen societal shifts in generational habits. He says that children used to be reliable early-morning customers, but this norm has since shifted, a move Ray thinks is linked to education surrounding healthy eating.

“The amount of pies and lollies that used to go through between eight o’clock and quarter to nine was quite incredible really. But in the last 12-15 years it’s totally changed.”

But the job has its downsides. Ray’s seen several burglaries during his time at the Black Cat including three that occurred in December.

But despite the occasional theft, Ray says he’s enjoyed the job and

“It’s been a lot of fun. I’ve met a lot of really great people and made quite a few friends out of some people too … That’ll be the biggest part I’ll miss.”

His staff have also made the experience a good one.

“I’ve had fantastic staff, right

throughout my career in dairies.”

But Ray says he is looking forward to retirement. “It’s time to actually try and lead a normal life,” he says.

“It’s going to be nice not having to get out of bed at half past five every morning.”

The new owners take over the Black Cat on 27 June.

In honour of Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee, a public tree-planting event has been organised at Queen’s Gardens this Saturday, 11 June at 10am. Nelson Civic Trust and Nelson City councillors Gaile Noonan and Judene Edgar are organising the event to provide an opportunity for people to recognise Her Majesty’s service. Tree events are planned across the country after DOC, Trees that Count and Tapu o Tane launched a legacy project on 16 May at Government House with the planting of a kauri tree. It is hoped that, throughout the year, 100,000 native trees will be planted across the country to recognise the Queen’s legacy.

TEMPORARY POWER INTERRUPTION FOR GOLDEN BAY SUNDAY 12 JUNE 2022, 9:00AM – 3:00PM Network Tasman needs to undertake essential planned work at our substation in Motupipi. Most of the electricity distributed in Golden Bay goes through this substation and the work is required to ensure a reliable power supply to the area. Unfortunately, the work cannot be undertaken while the substation is in service.

MINIMISING DISRUPTION

The generator is able to supply an area fed by a high voltage feeder line/cable. We have chosen these areas to maximise the benefit of the generator and keep supply on to as many customers as possible while avoiding areas where maintenance work will be undertaken.

If we need to postpone the shutdown due to weather or a network emergency, the alternate date is Sunday 19 June.

Network Tasman will also carry out localised maintenance on the distribution network while the substation is out of service.

Nelson e-bike business expands to Europe MAX FRETHEY Local e-bike company Hybrid Bikes is expanding business with operations now beginning in the United Kingdom and plans picking up speed in Germany.

Founder and managing director Frank Witowski says he’s thrilled to finally be expanding overseas.

“I’m lost for words… it’s really, really cool.”

It has been a goal of Frank’s since he started the business in 2018.

“I’ve been working on that idea for so long, it was always my dream.” Frank says it was a tall order for him to accomplish as he runs the entire business from home and only has two other

staff members in New Zealand.

“This was probably the most ambitious target, to go global, for a guy out of a garage,” he says.

“We’re still really a micro-team but achieving astronomical results.”

John and Karen Parker are spearheading Hybrid Bikes’ ventures in the UK. “We’re real excited to be promoting Frank’s bikes, the Hybrid, in the UK,” John says. “We’re really looking forward to making some sales over there.”

John and Karen have come to represent the company in the UK simply from being satisfied customers of Frank’s.

“They came and bought two

Hybrid Bikes founder Frank Witowski is excited to see his business expand into the UK and Germany. Photo: Max Frethey bikes and they loved them so much that they thought ‘can we sell them in the UK?’”

Operations are also poised to begin in Germany. All Frank needs there is the stamp of approval

from his business partner in the country and they can begin to sell.

“We have an allocation of 250 bikes to start with in the UK, and we have an allocation 250 bikes in Germany.”

However, breaking into international markets is not without challenge.

“Every market is different,” Franks says. “We have to find our niche.”

The typical Kiwi cyclist doesn’t have the same needs as the typical English or German cyclist.

“New Zealand is predominantly all-terrain,” Frank says. “Germany is more road-based… there’s a lot of road commuting going on.”

Peony tubers have been planted at Nelson Central School which, when grown, will be a vibrant display that celebrates the school’s diversity. Tasmin Denize, 11, Danna Godoygarcia, 10, Scarlet Lees, 11, and Stella Brake, 11, took part in the planting and are enviro-agents: students who design and lead sustainability projects for the school. Principal Pip Wells says the school hosts 26 different first languages and the diversity of culture that can be found at the school adds richness and depth to the students’ learning and lives. The peonies, which are the vibrant coral sunset variety, were donated to the school by the Soroptimist International of Nelson. The Nelson soroptimists have been selling peonies for $20 per tuber to raise funds for women and children displaced by the war in Ukraine. Photo: Max Frethey.

Opinion

Opinion The decision of Mayor Rachel Reese not to contest the Mayoralty comes as no surprise and now opens the door for a new era to begin for Nelson.

The Nelson Citizens Alliance, although at loggerheads with Rachel on a number of issues, would like to publicly acknowledge her time as Nelsons highest office holder. Rachel over her years on Council has been without question a dedicated Councillor and Mayor. It has been unfortunate that over the past 6 years in the Mayoral chair Rachel has been faced with a number of “waring factions”within the Councillor group which has led to much disharmony and to the dysfunctional way Council operates today.

No one would envy her the job and she deserves commendation for taking the leadership role in very difficult circumstances.

The Alliance, our differences aside, would like to thank Rachel for her 15 years of service to the Nelson community. On October 8 it will be time to appoint a new Council and Mayor and all Nelsonians must ensure they vote to make that happen.

Neville Male, Convenor, Nelson Citizens Alliance

Fishing industry grapples with fuel prices Really we can’t afford to buy it now. I’m sure you are making huge profits selling it to the Chinese. We are told we should have fish three times a week, what a laugh I can’t afford it once a week.

Nelson to get a new Mayor I’m pleased she “feels good about” her decision, but I bet not as good as some of us feel. We need a mayor and councillors that work for the people who pay them, the ratepayers and residents of Nelson, not the Government.

Glenis Shaw Long overdue. She only got back in last time because we still use the outdated FPP voting system.

Ian Millward

No domestic cat would take on an adult kea. Feral cats eating birds to survive is called natural selection. Catching wild animals and killing them is murder. So its ok to kill cats as long as the birds don’t die. How messed up it that!

Let’s talk about… staying warm to stay well this winter Warm homes are healthy homes. Not only is a warm and dry living space more comfortable and better for our mental health, it also reduces the risk to your whānau of getting sick this winter.

If you can, keep an indoor temperature of at least 18°C. If there are babies, young children, or elderly people in the home, aim for 20°C. Cold and damp housing contributes to respiratory illness and can make recovery from common winter infections, like flu or RSV, slower.

Making a Home Warm: Structural issues in our homes (such as insufficient insulation) can make keeping a home warm and dry very challenging. Sufficient insulation is the

first place to start in making a warm home: insulation keeps the heat in and lowers heating costs.

If you own your home: Owner-occupiers of homes built before 2008 who have a Community Services Card or SuperGold card, among other criteria, are eligible for grants through the Warmer Kiwi Homes programme.

These grants cover 80% of the total cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation or 80% of the cost of an approved heater.

Visit EECA.govt.nz to check your eligibility and learn more.

If you rent your home: Since 1 July 2021, landlords have been obligated to meet Healthy Homes Standards within 90 days of

any new tenancy. These Standards include a fixed heating device in living rooms, ceiling and underfloor insulation, extractor fans in kitchens and bathrooms, efficient gutters, and no draughts due to unnecessary holes in the structure. Visit Tenancy.govt.nz to learn how to raise concerns with your landlord.

Making a Home Dry: Dampness allows mould and mildew to grow and can lead to respiratory illness. Damp air is also harder to heat: drier air allows your space to be heated more efficiently.

• A dehumidifier uses less energy than a heat pump, and can make your heat pump cheaper to run.

• Reduce dampness around the home as much as possible. Keep lids on pots, use extractor fans in the kitchen and bathroom, wipe condensation from windows with a towel or squeegee, dry clothing outside when possible, and air out the house for at least 10 minutes twice a day.

Local photo goes global JENNY NICHOLSON Jack Burden’s photos have recently received international attention and recognition.

The Nelson photographer received a bronze award in the international Sky-watcher Australia Astro Photography competition for his photo of the moon rising over Split Apple Rock.

“I had tried to capture it a few times but failed with the alignment,” Jack says.

“This time I was in the right place at the right time. It was a partial lunar eclipse which made it special.”

Last month his photo of waves on the sand bar in Whangamata was picked up by someone with a Facebook page with over a million followers.

The photo of what looks like square wave formations is one of his favourites and was taken a few years ago.

The New Zealand Herald saw the photo and ran an article late last month.

“I think it appeals because it takes the eye a while to decide what you are looking at,” Jack says.

“Some people have said it looks like an older person’s neckline with a tartan jumper.”

He has also been approached to be a brand ambassador for Samyang lenses.

Jack brought a point-and-shoot camera, put it on automatic, and took it on his OE in 2013.

That started his passion for photography and after hours of watching tutorials has found success, particularly in astrophotography, photos of the night sky.

Working full time in construction, with another job taking timescapes of construction projects, and having a 12-week-old daughter, keeps Jack very busy.

There isn’t a lot of time for photography and astrophotography demands certain conditions, adding further limits to how many nights are suitable for capturing images.

For Jack, that just makes capturing the ideal image even more special.

“You might get 2 weekends a month with no, or a small, moon that is needed for good images,” he says.

“Then you hope for no clouds so that narrows it down further.”

Hours are spent scouring maps looking for suitable places with dark skies and good leading lines.

He’s thrilled with the success he has had in competitions, having come runner-up in some. He was shortlisted for the New Zealand Geographic Competition. However, gold still eludes him.

Nelson has proved a great place to pursue his photography.

He moved here three years ago and says he loves it, spending a lot of time in the Nelson Lakes regions. Some photos require tramping to the location, and he says while the gear is heavy, he enjoys the trips.

“I enjoy being in the wilderness,” Jack says.

“For a while, I was disappointed if I didn’t get a great photo. Now I just enjoy being out in the wilderness and if I get an amazing image, it’s a bonus.”

Jack is hoping the recent attention he is getting will grow his business, Jack Burden Photography.

Theatre Royal shows off heritage in digital form MAX FRETHEY The Theatre Royal has published a digital tour of the historic building as the region grows used to the orange traffic light setting and people regain their confidence in heading into town.

As part of the tour, the theatre’s three patrons, Dame Kate Harcourt, Helen Moulder, and Mark Hadlow went behind the scenes and explored the building’s rarely seen backstage area.

Helen’s history with the theatre is extensive, first performing in the Theatre Royal back in the 1960s.

“It’s a wonderful privilege,” she says about giving the tour. “I’m so proud of that building, Nelson’s so proud of that building. It’s a wonderful asset to the community.”

The tour was created as part of Tuku 22 Whakatū Heritage Months festival which explores Nelson Tasman’s cultural heritage.

The Theatre Royal has endured

rough waters through the Covid-19 pandemic.

“While there were capacity limits and distancing restrictions, it was not financially interesting for any company to hire the theatre for their shows,” says theatre manager Eliane Polack.

“Normally the theatre seats 340, but under Covid restrictions this went down to 55 under Level 3 and 110 under red.”

Though the country has been at the orange traffic light level for more than a month, things are only just beginning to return to normal for the Theatre Royal.

“It takes months for promoters to plan, cast, rehearse and prepare a tour, and local community groups also need time to prepare,” Eliane says.

“This is why we only had one show booked in May, and things are slowly starting up again next month.”

The hardships of entertainment venues were highlighted last week in Nelson as Entertainment Ven-

Theatre Royal patrons Dame Kate Harcourt, Helen Moulder, and Mark Hadlow show viewers through a new digital tour of the historic building. Photo: Supplied. ues Association New Zealand’s (EVANZ) mid-year conference was held in the city.

The conference focused on getting back to having events and the issues entertainment venues are dealing with such as staffing,

delays in venue upgrades, safety, and audience confidence.

It was at the conference in which the digital tour was premiered.

“We have had a lot of positive feedback,” Eliane says. “When people from other regions com-

ment on how wonderful it must be to have such an iconic building as a venue, I always remind myself that we often take it for granted to have this beautifully restored heritage theatre.”

Eliane says regaining audience confidence and encouraging people to leave their homes again remains an issue for the Theatre Royal. However, she hopes the digital tour can serve as a good reminder for people of what they’re missing out on.

“Three-dimensional live performances, heart pumping, living, breathing emotional connections with 340 other people you don’t know, in the biggest lounge room, laughing, gasping, tearing up, together,” says patron Mark Hadlow. “That’s the wow factor. I know; I see it, from the stage every time I perform at the Theatre Royal. Nothing beats it.”

Meltdown comes to museum KATE RUSSELL A new exhibition at the Nelson Provincial Museum aims to highlight the importance of the world’s glaciers and the impact of climate change through art, photography, and film.

Meltdown: Visualising Climate Change opened last Friday and features work from every relevant continent on the planet from more than 10 international artists, leading the viewer on a scientific, illustrative, and poetic journey of climate change and its consequences.

The exhibition is created by the climate change charity Project Pressure which uses art as a positive touchpoint to inspire action and behavioural change.

Since 2008, Project Pressure has

been commissioning world-renowned artists to conduct expeditions around the world, developed and executed with scientists to ensure accuracy.

With 69 per cent of the earth’s fresh water contained within ice caps and glaciers, and glacier melt rate being faster than at any time in the past 5000 years, it is a topic that cannot be ignored.

Nelson Provincial Museum chief executive, Lucinda Blackley-Jimson, says it is an honour to bring another internationally-recognised exhibition to Nelson.

“Meltdown is an important exhibition, opening up conversations about climate change and the drastic impact it is having on the entire world’s population,” she says.

“Stimulating awareness of such

Each artist who collaborated on the exhibition gives their personal perspective on climate change through an array of visual mediums. This gives visitors unique insights into the world’s frozen spaces, its fragile ecosystem, and our changing global climate.

French Artist Noémie Goudal challenges the notion of stability with her large-scale photographic installation, whilst artists Simon Norfolk and Klaus Thymann look at the peculiar example of the Rhône glacier being covered in geothermal cloth to limit the melting.

WE CAN FIX IT! Top 5 reasons to repair instead of replacing 1. Save money Repairing rejects the idea that new is always better. By prolonging the lives of belongings you love, you’re reducing the need to buy new and saving yourself that extra cash.

Even employing the professionals is (most of the time) cheaper than replacing an item.

2. Reduce your emissions Repairing both reduces demand for virgin materials and energy resources and is direct action against unsustainable fast consumerism – a big win for the planet. In fact, waste organisation WRAP claims that by extending the life of your clothes by just nine months, your carbon, water and waste footprints fall by 20-30% each.

3. Form a better connection Loved items last. And those with a back-story are particularly special.

Giving an item new life strengthens your sense of connection and ownership to your belongings.

The BBC’s popular programme The Repair Shop demonstrates the emotions and sentiment we assign to objects and heirlooms and how repairing brings that history to life again.

4. Up-skill or support a repair professional From sewing on a button to the Japanese art of fixing broken pottery, there’s unlimited learning opportunities waiting to be discovered. And when you do, you’ll feel empowered by the achievement.

Don’t forget to support the professionals too – from cobblers to jewellers, seamstresses to electronic technicians.

DON’T REPLACE... ...REPAIR

5. Discover mindfulness Mending is a slow and soothing activity. The problem solving aspect requires creativity and focus and there’s a great sense of achievement once complete. The process of working with your hands away from screens can help relax and bring you into the present moment, a key way to foster mindfulness.

Sport Mixed cup day for Suburbs www.shuttersport.co.nz

ANDREW BOARD It was a day of differing fortunes for Nelson Suburbs on Queens Birthday Monday with its men’s side advancing to the next round of the Chatham Cup, while its top women’s team crashed out of the equivalent Kate Sheppard Cup. At Saxton Field, Suburbs’ women’s side welcomed Coastal Spirit from Christchurch, which was a semi-finalist in the last edition of the national knock-out cup in 2021, and heavy favourites to advance to the next round.

Coastal dominated possession and territory in the first half but struggled to break down a wellorganised defensive-effort from the hosts.

Suburbs’ back four all had moments of brilliance, Geena Horne, in particular. She twice slid in to disposes Coastal strikers as they were barring down on goal, while Amelia Abbott, Holly Watson and Anna McPhie were all excellent.

But as well as their defence per-

formed, their attack did not. Defender-turned-striker Ellie Kershaw was often isolated up front and – despite her best efforts – was unable to get the better of Coastal’s strong defensive line.

When Suburbs did gain possession they often failed to deliver the final pass or lost possession moving forward.

The second half was a more open affair with Suburbs having moments to shine. Ruby Smith, moving from right-back to striker, had several sublime touches and a very good shot that was a fraction over the bar.

At the back, goalkeeper Georgia Williams was on top form, making several stunning saves to keep her side in the contest. Finally, in the 52nd minute, the visitors broke through with a well-placed shot inside the left-upright from Mel Cameron. It was a deserved lead but that it came from distance showed how well the Suburbs defence played.

Nine minutes later Coastal doubled their lead with a long-range

how they battled and stuck to the game-plan, I’m really happy.

To finish 2-0 against one of the country’s top four teams is an achievement for us and hopefully sends a statement that we’re capable of competing at that level.”

Suburbs coach Matt Watkinson says he was delighted with his

side’s effort. “I thought it was a stupendous effort, defensively. To be nil-all at half time was tremendous and we didn’t really give up too many chances in the first half.

“I’m really proud of the girls for

Meanwhile, across town, Suburbs top men’s side were taking on FC Nelson at Victory Square in the Chatham Cup. Suburbs are the region’s top club side, playing in the Southern Premier League, while FC Nelson plays in the Nelson Bays Football first division and it didn’t take long for the difference in quality to show.

Suburbs’ Josh Cresswell scored in the second minute of the game before going on to score three more in his side’s 6-0 rout.

Ben Polak and Jack Carter were the other two Suburbs players to get on the score sheet, both scoring in the first half to help their side to a 4-0 lead at half time.

Giants fly high ANDREW BOARD It might be too early to label them the ‘comeback kings’ but Mike Pero Nelson Giants have shown their spirit, with two tough come-from-behind wins on the road last week.

The wins over the Southland Sharks and Otago Nuggets on a southern road trip has propelled the Giants into second place of the Sal’s NBL ladder, but neither game was easy.

Against the Sharks in Invercargill on Thursday night, the Giants were down by 12 points at half time before a stunning third quarter propelled them to a big 96-90 win.

In Dunedin, just two days later, the Giants again found themselves down at half time, this time by eight, before rallying in the third quarter to take the lead and go on to win the game 89-78.

Coach Mike Fitchett says it was a dream weekend.

“If every double header goes like that we’ll be laughing.

“I thought we had good plans, the players bought in to those

plans and we showed determination which was really nice to see. There’s a really good team atmosphere at the moment.”

Jarrod West led the way for the Giants, scoring 21 points against the Sharks and 27 against the Nuggets, while captain Sam Dempster had two big games, scoring a “double-double”, with 10 points and 10 rebounds in Invercargill and a game-high five three-pointers for 19 points against the Nuggets.

Fitchett says both players are in top form.

“Jarrod West has been an incredible addition to the team, he’s a leader, he drives the players around the court. The guys respect him and listen to him, he plays defence really hard and that’s how you earn respect.”

On Dempster, Fitchett says his captain “might just be playing the best basketball of his career”.

“He’s taking the shots he was turning down last year, because he was trying to get oth-

er guys going. Now he’s taking those shots and they’re going in.”

Sam Thompson and Trey Mourning were other standouts with Alex McNaught, Nic Trathen, Tyler Marsh and Riley Bennsemann all contributing.

The wins mean the Giants are second in the league behind the Auckland Tuatara. This Saturday night they will play the Franklin Bulls, who have won just two games out of the six they’ve played, at the Trafalgar Centre, where another sell-out is expected to greet the high-flying Giants.

And Fitchett expects a tough game, especially if the rumours that Tall Black and former Breaker Corey Webster will be lining up for the Bulls for his first game of the season prove true.

“Corey could be the best player in the league and often the teams with the best player go on to win the league, so they could be very tough on Saturday.”

The game tips off at 5.30pm.

Giants captain Sam Dempster has been in top form over recent games.

Local volleyball stars selected to represent New Zealand JACK MALCOLM Elliot Bagnall and Lily Zwart have very different goals after being selected to represent New Zealand in volleyball.

Nelson College’s Elliot says he isn’t very interested in earning a scholarship for the sport, intending to study communications next year and continue playing at a club level.

In contrast, Waimea College’s Lily says she’s already in talks with multiple schools in America to study and play.

“I have the choice between three or four schools.”

She wants to go into law so she can represent children in cases where they can’t speak for themselves, despite taking years longer to study in the States.

As a New Zealand Junior Women’s squad member, Lily travels at least once a month to train with the team on top of her regular workout regime.

Her coaches from the team have also given her a strength and fitness programme to follow, which sees her at the gym almost every day.

“My day is; gym in the morning

ing selection following their respective trials, but it was still a shock to see their name on the list.

“I was extremely surprised when I got named in the team, coming from Nelson where we don’t have the facilities like Christchurch or Auckland,” says Lily.

“I know I did play well in the trial. . . but I was still sceptical because there’s a lot more experienced North Island players,” says Elliot.

He wanted to thank Dylan Wells, who had coached him at Nelson College from year 10 and is a fantastic developer of growing talent.

Lily’s list of ‘thank yous’ included her club coach Brendan Crichton, school coaches Andy Lang and Holly Chandler and the Tasman Volleyball team of Josh Ovsenek and Pam and Allan Brodie.

“And my family, especially my mum (Terressa) for everything she’s done for me.”

Nelson’s Emma Davies was also selected for the New Zealand junior development team to participate in the Australian Junior Volleyball Champs in July, where she will have another chance to impress selectors.

On top of her volleyball commitments, Lily is also a member of the Jacks OPD premier netball team and captains her school’s netball A team.

Elliot says he had to step away from his commitments to basket-

ball to focus on volleyball, having only started playing in high school because his friends were into it.

“With this sport, you improve so much each year.

“When I first started, I wasn’t the greatest, but I enjoyed it.

“Making the New Zealand team

seemed impossible when I started.”

Now in the New Zealand U19 squad, he says it’s been a goal since he realised it was a possibility two years ago.

Young tennis prodigy to represent NZ JACK MALCOLM

Liam Howes, 11, won last year’s primary school championships in his final year at Richmond Primary School. Now at Waimea Intermediate, he has been selected to represent New Zealand. Photo: Jack Malcolm.

At just 11-years-old, tennis prodigy Liam Howes is preparing to travel to Australia and represent New Zealand at the end of the month.

Liam says it was a surprise when his mum Maria raced down to practice to tell him he was selected.

Liam was recognised as one of the three best players in the country for his age after winning the primary school championships late last year.

He says the three-weeklong trip to the Gold Coast is an exciting, yet daunting ,opportunity.

“It will be a good experience on my own. No one else is coming with me.”

He will travel and stay with the team for a week before spending two weeks with his grandfather.

There are also a couple of spare days to fit in some fun activities with the

team, like a planned minigolf tournament.

With six trainings a week, Liam says he’s normally down at the Richmond Tennis Club courts but also does fitness at home and private coaching sessions.

“It’s been harder, training to be more prepped.”

Having picked up the sport only four years ago, his talents and passion for the sport didn’t take long to emerge.

“I love everything about it, it’s just amazing.

“My favourite thing to do is hit volleys and tweeners (a shot between your legs).”

Liam says he prefers playing on clay because you can slide on it a lot further than other surfaces.

His goal is to one day win the Roland Garros French Open.

“I want to win all the others, but that’s the main one because it’s on clay.”

Stoke toppled the competition leaders Renwick to install themselves at the top of the Tasman Trophy standings after a big 40-24 win at Greenmeadows on Saturday.

Renwick came out of the gates hot, with two tries in the first ten minutes.

They found space out wide with winger Atu Taufa making an 80 metre run down the sideline and a resulting penalty saw them set up for a strong try from the set piece.

A knock-on from the kickoff gave Stoke back possession, but an intercept by Renwick centre Clyde Paewai on the very next play saw them race away to an early 12 point lead.

It was the shock that Stoke needed, as they bounced back from the early adversity by maintaining possession and building pressure.

Captain Kendall Hodson crossed the line for Stoke first from a wellworked play that saw him swing around the back of the lineout maul and dive over to score.

Stoke’s next try highlighted their preparation, with a chip and chase that was pulled in and dotted down in the corner.

Kendall says they had identified through watching tapes that Renwick’s line speed often left them with holes in the back, and Stoke capitalised.

“It wasn’t talked about as a plan, but we did speak about if the space was there to take it.”

He struggled to think of an MVP for the game, with everyone who put on a jersey having a great game.

“Obviously we knew Renwick, coming off the bus, they’d bring it. There’s a reason they’re on top of the table. But, the boys adapted pretty well.”

Stoke would score several more times on the back of chip and chases as Renwick was unable to put up a meaningful answer.

Renwick coach Tii Paulo says they had made their season around coming up and putting pressure on and it was a credit to Stoke that they were able to exploit it.

“Once they got their rhythm, they carried it right through and were deserving winners.”

Renwick just didn’t have the answers for the Stoke attack and started to become frustrated.

Two yellow cards, one for a penalty try after a chip and chase for a professional foul and one for a nasty tip tackle, saw them twice reduced to 14 men.

When Renwick did have the ball, they were able to mount strong attacks. They were rewarded for working the ball out from their own 22 with a try to second fiveeighth Ratu Bishop.

Stoke were the better side on the day, however, as they readily marched into Renwick’s territory and found success.

They were able to regularly build on their lead and put the game beyond doubt from the boot of Liam Miller to go ahead by more than two converted tries with less than 15 minutes to play.

The teams would share a try apiece to finish the game, but it was Stoke who came away with the win and now sit on top of the Tasman Trophy table on 21 points, ahead of Renwick’s 19.

Elsewhere, Central beat Nelson at Trafalgar Park last Thursday night 57-7. The game was called off with 15 minutes to go after a fight broke out near the touchline.

Wanderers beat Kahurangi 24-12 on Friday night at the Brightwater Domain. The game between Waimea Old Boys and Marist was postponed due to Covid-19.
