Who’s to blame for our ghost town?

page 24-25

Sara Hollyman Nelson’s central city landlords are calling out the council after taking the blame for empty shopfronts when they say it is rising commercial rates that are the culprit.

A drive by of the central city shows that businesses are feeling the pinch of winter as more than 30 shopfronts are now sitting empty.

“The extremely high rates paid by commercial properties put additional pressure on our inner-city retailers and businesses who already struggle with seasonal fluctuations, competition from online entities,” says property owner Wendy Reeve, who submitted to the council on her concerns.

“In order to maintain the vitality of our CBD, we need to be doing everything we can to support their success.”

The Hardy St retail premises that Cache will soon be vacating is up for lease at a cost of $59,000 +Opex +GST per year.

To make this space work the business would have to make about $186 of sales every single day of the year just to cover rent.

That’s not including insurances, wages, power and, of course, the stock itself.

This does not include the “Opex” which usually includes council rates, water and building insurance.

“There are a lot less people around. Loads of parking on the street is a giveaway. We used to pride ourselves on boutique stores but they’re all disappearing.”

“I look forward to the day when Trafalgar St, from Selwyn St to Bridge St, is a pedestrian-only café district.”

it. I dragged out a mattress and slept next to her while she was recovering with her morphine patch - I think I slept less than her though.”

Molly recovered from her operation with diet changes and ongoing blood tests and ultrasounds, but a year later they discovered she had developed anal gland cancer.

“She had another operation

which was successful, but the cancer came back a few months later, so she had the same operation again. That time, they offered chemotherapy,” Grant says.

“They seemed quite surprised that I opted to do it, as it’s quite expensive. But I thought, ‘if she can get through this and have a good life, why wouldn’t I?’” Molly underwent four chemotherapy sessions - one a month for four months, with Grant receiving several donations from

work customers and friends to help pay the bill.

“She coped amazingly,” says Grant. “She lost her appetite a bit and I had to make sure she was drinking lots with her one kidney, so I made her broths.”

Molly has now been cancer-free for close to a year.

“She’s happy - a little bit slower, but every day she is still eager to go out in the car or for a walk.

She’s a trooper,” Grant says.

Vets says it’s a special feeling to see how far Molly has come.

“We’ve done a truck-load of work with her since we first treated her in 2015, so it’s pretty rewarding to see where she is at now.”

Molly has also helped Grant through some tough times too, including a total of six shoulder and knee surgeries.

“She made me get up in the mornings and was always by my side,” he says.

“She’s a keeper.”

Church St upgrade put on back burner The Church St upgrade has been put on the back burner by Nelson City Council due to the project needing $551,000 of unbudgeted funding.

At a works and infrastructure committee meeting on Thursday,

a recommendation was adopted to include the upgrade in the City Centre Programme Plan, which is due to be completed in the 2018/19 financial year.

The committee received a report on the project, indicating that the

total cost of the full upgrade was now estimated at $1.33 million.

The requirement for extra funding resulted from project tenders coming in higher than expected, additional requirements identified during the detailed design

ginning

process and the discovery of hazardous coal tar material within the road.

Council has been working with Church St businesses since 2016 to develop a design for the upgrade.

Who’s to blame for our ghost town?

FROM PAGE 1 pond to a request for comment.

Regional councils charge their rates differently.

Tasman District Council charges on the capital value of a property, whereas Nelson City Council only charges on land value.

For example, a commercial property on Queen Street with a capital value of $1.77million pays commercial rates of $9217 per year, compared to a $1.58 million property on Trafalgar Street which is charged $17,952 per year in rates.

This Nelson property needs to bring in $50 every day of the year, just so they can cover their rates.

One shop owner, who did not want to be named, says that their rent of $2500 a month is fair but it is the added costs of paying $900 in commercial rates each quarter puts added pressure on the business.

“You think you’re on top, then every 12 weeks you get an extra bill that is essentially half of your rent again.”

Commercial property owner Susan Lane echoed those concerns and also called for a re-

“The rents are driven by the owners’ costs, not just ‘greed’ for higher rent,” she submitted to council.

“And these costs are passed onto the tenants, therefore affecting their running costs and viability.

“We would like to do anything that can keep the central area vibrant and humming with successful businesses.”

NCC communications manager Paul Shattock says that ratings on commercial properties is something that has come up

in the Long-Term Plan that came into effect last week and the plan seeks to address this issue.

In the council’s LTP consultation document it proposed reducing commercial rates by between 1 and 2.5 per cent.

In Nelson, small businesses employ a large number of Nelson’s workforce.

There are 1377 businesses that employ between one and 10 people in Nelson and just 36 businesses that employ 100 or more, according to Ministry of Business and Innovation.

Online voting trial back on Council agenda for council election overruns Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Online voting could be back on the agenda for Nelson at next year’s local elections, if central government helps to keep costs down.

With a 53 per cent voter turnout in 2016, an online voting option in 2019 could help boost that number, with Nelsonians having the option of voting from their computer, tablet or smart phone, as well as the current postal forms.

But a financial contribution from central government would make or break the trial for Nelson, says mayor Rachel Reese, who is keeping “a close eye” on progress.

Submissions on the Local Electoral Matters Bill currently going through parliament closed in June, and any details of an online voting trial, including costs, are still being confirmed.

Although there is no Long Term Plan funding for a trial in 2019, Rachel says a trial for Nelson hasn’t been ruled out. “At present we are waiting on the Department of

Voting papers won’t be the only option for Nelsonians if an online voting trial goes ahead. Photo: File.

Internal Affairs to provide an update. Once we have that information and advice, we can consider the costs and options available for a trial in Nelson in 2019. I would hope that councils can work together to keep costs down.”

A proposed trial of online voting was narrowly turned down by Nelson City Council for the 2016 election, largely because of the cost. It was also axed nationally, due to last minute security concerns.

That trial was expected to cost councils between $50,000 and $100,000, on top of the $100,000 it already costs to hold an election.

Second-term Nelson councillor Brian McGurk, who

voted against the 2016 trial for the reason of it being “too expensive and rushed”, says if the current proposal looked good, he would be “positive and open” to the idea.

“If people can have a better voting experience, can vote more easily and efficiently, are more confident that their vote will be correctly counted, then there is potential to increase voter turnout, increase voter confidence and renew interest in the political system and voting,” he says.

“An added benefit would be that people who are away from their homes would be able to vote.”

Abbey Paterson, student president at SANITI represents and works for and

on behalf of all students at NMIT, and says online voting would engage a new generation of voters.

“It would definitely help. For younger people who are busy studying and have time commitments, it flips off their radar to fill in and post voting forms,” she says.

“I’ve talked to students who all think it’s a great idea. We could promote it through social media with a link they can just click on to vote. It would be a lot easier to push.”

Chairperson of SeniorNet Nelson, Carl Horn, says that if the system was designed properly, they would be willing to help both members and the public to use it.

The organisation has over 500 members and was involved with assisting people with the online census this year.

Meanwhile, Rachel says she will be bringing a mayor’s report to council to “test their appetite” for online voting, as soon as they have the information from the DIA. “As The Smart Little City, it makes sense to me if DIA give it the green light and costs are manageable.”

disputed Sara Hollyman

The Nelson mayor’s defence of cost overruns by council for civil engineering projects is not credible, according to the Nelson Residents’ Association.

Association spokesperson Dan McGuire says that the figures provided by council do not cover all costs associated with the projects.

The Nelson Weekly recently published a story sharing figures of budget overruns by the Nelson City Council for infrastructure projects from the last five years.

On the list of projects was the Trafalgar Centre re-opening which came in at a total cost of $13.8million, however, the NRA dispute these figures. “Why did she appoint people to chair the Audit and Risk Committee who have sat back and allowed all this irresponsible spending to take place?

“These non-elected people, who are being paid by the ratepayers, said nothing when the former CEO placed a cap of $10.2 million on the Trafalgar Centre rebuild, then let spending spiral to $16 million,” says Dan. NRA member Kerry Neal claims that the $13.8million covers only the physical work but none of the design work pre-build. He estimates that costs for the Trafalgar Centre sit more around $16.3million.

Council communications manager Paul Shattock says that the figures they provided to the Nelson Weekly are correct and relative to the specific projects.

Contractor defends blowout Locally Owned and Operated

Greenmeadows Centre time line

Editor

charles@nelsonweekly.co.nz

The contractor behind Stoke’s over budget and over time Greenmeadows Centre is defending itself from criticism as concern mounts over its handling of the build.

The centre was initially meant to be completed by the end of last year, but issues have surrounded its construction – including having the budget increase from $6.14 million to $7.19 million.

At the end of March, the contractor, Watts and Hughes Construction, assured council staff that it would be completed by the end of June. Now, that deadline has been pushed out to August, for the centre to be fully open. Last week, it was revealed that issues had surrounded the build, including not ensuring the correct waterproof coating on its cladding, meaning that it needed to be replaced.

Watts and Hughes Construction Director Rob Murphy acknowledged in a statement that the project had been difficult.

He said the construction of the Greenmeadows Centre project had been “a challenging project” for Watts and Hughes, particularly with regards to resourcing.

“Sourcing labour from the local Nelson market has been

The company are providing additional labour from Christchurch along with supervisors from its Christchurch office.

“We acknowledge that we have had some quality issues on site including the installation of the exterior cladding, which we are currently replacing,” Rob said.

Council said that the cost of any mistakes will be borne by the contractor.

Rob said: “We note that the building has, and will be, constructed in accordance with the requirements of the contract and that any quality issues either

“We will ensure the required resources and supervision are provided to meet the required standard. We have a history of producing quality civic buildings, and we are working with Nelson City Council to ensure this is the case with the Greenmeadows Centre.”

Council chief executive Pat Dougherty said the objective was to ensure a quality building is constructed.

“We are focused on making sure that the contractor completes this building to a high standard. Over

the past five months we have allocated additional resource to oversee the work undertaken.”

This has included weekly visits from the architect, daily visits from the project manager, and weekly building inspections.

Mayor Rachel Reese’s concerns mirrored those of the general public.

“The people of Stoke deserve a quality building, and council staff are working with the contractor to make sure that is delivered.

We have been assured that the number one priority of staff is that the building is completed as expected and will perform well into the future.”

Spokeswoman for CAN, Penny Molnar, says the social action group is made up mainly of retired community workers, who are encouraging pensioners who don’t need the new $20 weekly winter energy payment to pass it on.

“It just seemed to us that there are a lot of retired people in Nelson for whom $20 is neither here nor there, while for some families and individuals it could make the difference between running a heater or going cold,” she says.

Nelson’s kapa haka in full voice Jonty Dine Nelson’s kapa haka culture is experiencing a resurgence following a successful regional showcase over the weekend.

Fuelled by emotion after losing one of its stalwarts, Nelson-based group, Kia Ngawiri, took out the Te Tauihu regional kapa haka competition on Saturday The group took top honours at the annual senior top of the south competition and will now represent the region at the national Te Matatini festival in February 2019.

Hundreds of people packed the Nelson College hall for a showcase of Maoridom with waiata, haka and poi performances all passionately delivered.

Regional delegate to the national board of kapa haka, Tom Alesana, says Kia Ngawiri dedicated its performance to a member who recently passed away.

The four competing teams had to present a performance featuring at least 24 people aged over 14 years and were judged in seven different disciplines.

These included their stage entry, traditional chant, action songs, hakas and stage exits.

"The performances were fantastic, there are some great things happening in the kapa haka world in Nelson,” Tom says.

He says kapa haka in the region has experienced its share of ups and downs.

"It’s growing again, we have had a huge emphasis on ensuring our young people upskill, so today was also about showcasing that our next generation is where we are

going to see the fruits of our labour.”

Tom says the resurgence in the region has been rewarded.

Nelson has recently been awarded hosting rights for three major national kapa haka competitions. "We will host the national primary competition in 2021, the national secondary schools in 2022 and national seniors in 2025.”

Tom says there is plenty to do to prepare the region and its people.

"We have a big body of work in front of us as we want our people to represent the region as well as they can on the stage."

This will be the first-time the national primary school’s competition takes place in the South Island.

"It’s a huge feat for a small region.”

A local company has diverted 450 car seats from Nelson’s landfill thanks to a partnership which sees expired or damaged child safety restraints recycled into other goods.

The partnership between Nelson Baby on the Move and Seatsmart began when Michelle Duncan was told that disposal was the only option for her expired car seat.

Michelle works for 3R, which looks to innovative ways to solve waste problems. She reasoned that there had to be a better solution for an item that was mostly plastic. The SeatSmart initiative was born.

Nelson and Blenheim Baby on the Move owner Russell O’Donnell says they have recycled around 450 child restraints since they were first involved with the pilot programme in 2015. Although there is a cost of $10, Russell says the public reaction to the initiative has been positive.

“Customers love the idea that the plastic in the restraint is going to be recycled and not going to landfill,” he says. “Most customers are happy to pay the $10 when it is explained

SeatSmart programme manager Toni Bye says that all seats from their 17 collection points across the South Island are sent to Christchurch where they are dismantled by Department of Corrections community work offenders, so the components can be recycled.

"The majority of the plastic is then recycled and used to make parts for the building and construction industry, the metal is sent to scrap metal dealers for recycling.”

She says that the recycling or reuse happens as close to dismantling areas as possible but due to the limited nature of on-

shore processing in New Zealand, the plastic, which forms the highest percentage of materials by weight, has to go to Auckland.

"We love that recycling something ‘out of the ordinary’ like a child car seat is something people want to do. It shows there is a shift in the way people are thinking about sustainability and waste.”

Russell says they partially dismantle the seats instore as some parts stay in Nelson.

"Harness straps that are in good condition go to Emma at the Green Collective - she uses them for her Tote bags."

Those wanting to recycle their car seats can take them to Baby on the Move in opening hours.

Brook sanctuary to re-open this month Charles Anderson

a very special place – a site where native bird species are beginning to recover from daily predation by mammalian pests.”

The sanctuary’s monitoring has shown initial gains already in the populations of species such as fantails, tui and tomtits.

It will be opening on a koha basis initially, with a suggested donation of $5 per adult or $15 per family, to support the ongoing work of developing the sanctuary.

Sanctuary general manager, Hudson Dodd, says that the development of the sanctuary will be ongoing. "We’ll be continuing to develop exciting ways for visitors to experience the sanctuary.”

This will include extending and developing the track network, as well as making a wheelchair-friendly loop track.

"We also have very exciting work underway to plan our first species reintroductions, returning birds such as kiwi, kakariki and kaka back to the valley where they were once abundant.”

Hudson says that the sanctuary is building toward a future as a significant visitor attraction for Nelson with paid admission.

Bio-security is now the sanctuary’s priority, to protect the native wildlife. Visitors will be asked to check their own pockets and bags before entering to make sure there are no stowaway pests.

"It may sound unlikely, but it really can happen,” said Hudson.

Nelsonians will soon be able to experience a revitalization of fantails, tui and tomtits in the Brook Waimarama Sanctuary as it opens to the public after a year of pest removal and monitoring.

In 2017 it was closed to make way for three drops of a total of 26.5 tonnes of brodifacoum-laced bait within its 14km pest-proof fence.

There were numerous legal challenges and protests along the way from concerned locals.

However, now the sanctuary’s vision is almost complete to eradicate rodents and reintroduce native wildlife into the 690 hectare piece of land.

From July 15 the sanctuary and visitor centre will be open every Saturday, Sunday and Monday from 10am to 4pm for its winter hours.

"We have been looking forward to welcoming people back to the site and we know how keen Nelson and Tasman residents have been to start enjoying the Sanctuary again,” says trust chair Dave Butler.

At its recent Long Term Plan deliberations, the Nelson City Council agreed to provide $250,000 in 2018/19, followed by $150,000 each year, for ongoing operational support.

Council received close to 90 submissions in favour of the funding for the sanctuary, reflecting its wide volunteer base and strong community support.

"Our community is so key to what we are trying to achieve here, so we are thrilled to be able to welcome the public back after our closure this past year.”

Dave says so much has changed since it was last open to the public.

Its pest removal operation last year was followed by months of intensive monitoring.

BOAT SHED REOPENS AFTER STORM: Boat Shed Cafe staff Sarzan Karki, Ralph Fisher, Gianluca Pomerino, Erin Palmisano and Myles Diamond during the first lunch shift since the Rocks Rd restaurant reopened its doors after Cyclone Fehi damaged it in February.

Jonty Dine When video footage emerged online of Cyclone Fehi smashing through the walls of the Boat Shed Café in February, many thought that it was the end of the iconic Nelson restaurant.

But last Thursday it defied the odds when it opened back up to the public after extensive renovations.

Restaurant co-owner Daniel Monopoli says it has been a long process and it is a great feeling to be back in business. The team always thought they would get back open.

"We were all realistic about the considerable damage, but were always confident we would get back."

He says the building has been substantially upgraded but still maintains its rustic beauty and charm.

Despite the four-month close period, Daniel says they have retained the core of their staff.

"It has been a challenging year for management and staff, but we have brought them back now and we are all ready to move forward."

Daniel says the community had been incredibly supportive during an uncertain period.

"We have had people dropping in over the rebuild period and lots of positive talk on social media."

He says he feels extremely fortunate to work at such a uniquely beautiful spot.

"It's a great business. When there isn't a single ripple on the water out there, it's just magic."

The Boat Shed Cafe has resumed normal hours, generally from 10am-9pm.

"We are all looking forward to seeing our customers again," Daniel says.

Supporting Natureland: For many years, I stopped going to zoos.

It didn’t feel right for animals to live anywhere else but in the wild. My career has focused on protecting their homes in nature.

That changed after I married someone devoted to caring for animals in zoos and the wild.

I now realise that zoos help save endangered species in ways that conservation government agencies and nonprofits usually cannot. First, zoos gain critical knowledge for breeding rare animals for return to the wild. Second, zoos offer a safe haven for species that face threats that can take habitat conservationists decades to remedy. Third, zoos allow people to fall in love with animals face

to face. The best zoos also offer hope and inspire action.

When my family moved to Nelson, Natureland was our first outing. As luck would have it, Natureland’s director, Meg, and I were graduate school classmates at Yale. My husband and I were deeply impressed.

More importantly, our daughter can’t get enough. But to sustain a beautiful zoo like Natureland takes community investment. Unfortunately, Natureland may face notable funding challenges soon, since it may not receive its full proposed funding request under Nelson’s 10-Year Plan.

One rationale offered is that Natureland should leave wildlife conservation work for Department of Conservation.

Certainly, I fully respect that every ratepayer has his/her own priorities for investing Nelson public funds.

But, if you do support Natureland and its wildlife conservation work, find ways to let Council and the community know.

Help Natureland find ways to close its potential funding gap - visit, donate, help find corporate/foundation grants.

Natureland is, and deserves to be, so much more than just a “petting zoo.”

Let’s keep it strong so Nelson can stay proud to be playing our part in saving New Zealand’s iconic species for our future generations.

Jude Wu, former Managing Director of Conservation International Hong Kong Kira takes mental health talk online after school rejection: It wouldn't in the slightest upset me for my primary-aged kids to listen to this. In fact, I let my year 6 daughter read it when it was going around on FB. Mental health IS important. It should be just as vital a compo-

nent at school as the health units are at primary, lasting for a few weeks. If we can talk puberty we can talk mental health, too. Well done Kira, by your mum sharing your speech, it has possibly gone to a wider audience than Garin could've given you.

Kelly Watson We have to start normalizing these conversations around our children, let them know its ok to not be ok. If we wait till they're teens it's too late, stigma is already attached.

Genna Coleman Amazing speech Kira!! So touched by your courage and would have loved to have heard you perform the speech at Mahi Toi. Such an important message. In saying this, as a year 13 student attending Garin College, I can confirm that Garin actively and constantly offers and advertises the school's mental health services to all students at school. I’m proud to be a student of Garin and think that our college is definitely no disgrace! I don’t agree with the school's decision to stop you from saying what needs to be said, but I also think that the negative comments flowing through about our school are incredibly unnecessary and do more harm than good. Sophie Cleal You go girl. Well done. Shame on Garin College. Don't ever let anyone shut you up. The best way to deal with depression is to be open about it. You will get much respect and support for it.

Take it from someone who can appreciate where you are coming from. Don't ever hesitate to private message me if you need to or want to.

Nelson Matters A key part of my job is to get good quality public services for the $30,000 the average Nelson household pays in tax each year.

My concern is of the new Government’s policy of scrapping the measures that help ensure improved health care, better schools and safer communities.

Health Minister David Clark announced last week he was getting rid of the nationwide performance measures for District Health Boards. These report publicly on issues like getting treated promptly at emergency departments, getting more people elective surgery, meeting treatment times for cancer patients and improving child immunization rates. We could

previously compare how Nelson was doing relative to the 20 other DHBs and whether services were improving. Now we won’t know.

The new Government has done likewise in schools, removing the requirement for reporting on national standards in literacy and numeracy. These gave parents comparative data on how their children were doing and the Ministry of Education information on where schools were failing. This week I had Nelson School Boards raising concerns with me about the lack of any replacement system.

We are now the only developed country not to require primary pupils' learning to be assessed

and reported against national benchmarks. I am also nervous of Labour’s proposals to remove exams from NCEA Level 1 at Year 11 or fifth form.

Police performance targets have also been dropped. National increased police funding by $500 million last year but sought with it, improved response times for burglaries, requiring 98% to be responded to within 48 hours.

We also set targets for improved accessibility in regional New Zealand for 24/7 police stations, requiring stations like Motueka going 24/7.

The ten better Public Service targets across all Government agencies were scrapped in January. These covered areas like re-

This is such a touching read, glad someone has seen it and shared it. Kelly Stewart Important words that should be heard. Brave girl who can help others. Good on you, Kira. Kaz Halkett Questions over golf course dismissed: It appears that the Waahi Taakaro Golf Course and NCC still act as if this golf course is owned, operated and for golf club members only. My husband, Don Welch, who held the contract to manage this course for 11 years, was a relentless advocate that the course belonged to all the citizens of Nelson, and was also appreciated by visitors from all over New Zealand as well as international visitors.

The fact that the council had a Memorandum of Understanding only with the golf club, without any consultation from any citizen of Nelson, is clearly a conflict of interest.

A few days after my husband retired, and less than a month before he tragically died, I asked him how he felt about the very flawed and non-transparent way in which the city handed the management over to the club, he said "defeated". It was the first time in his life I had ever heard him say that word. Shame on the council.

Judith Saunders I thought that golf course was established as a public 9 hole course for use by the people of Nelson at a minimum cost. Golf club fees tend to be pretty exorbitant. If the course is no longer being used as originally intended then time the original intent was reinstated. Dennis Goodman

544 Waimea Road, Nelson

ducing by 25% children hospital admissions for preventable diseases, reducing by 25% waiting times for state housing for high need families and reducing reoffending by criminals by 10,000 by 2021. Dedicated public servants have expressed disappointment to me that these are gone as, they said, they helped focus the department’s efforts and helped get agencies working together.

I do not mind a new Government changing priorities or improving on how results are measured. My problem is that if you don’t measure it, you won’t manage it. Labour says they are increasing spending and the public should just trust them to

do better.

Spending on health and education is increased by every Government. The increases in health were this year smaller than last year's. The increases in education were a fraction of what Labour promised. Regardless of the spending, we need to be focussed on improving services.

The refusal of the Government to have measurable performance targets for our public services is a step backward. Good intentions are not enough. It is results that matter.

Tahuna School’s 'polar plunge' Jonty Dine

MID-WINTER SWIM: Above: Tahunanui School students prepare for their polar plunge at Tahunanui Beach last Wednesday.

Far left: Ryder Farley feels the pinch of the icy water.

Left: Charlotte Crick tested the water with her soon-to-befrozen toes. Photos: Jonty Dine.

With snowcapped mountains providing a chilling backdrop, about 50 hardy young souls braved the bracing water at Tahunanui Beach last week.

The annual mid-winter swim saw students, teachers and parents of Tahunanui School shake and shiver away in temperatures a little over 1C. Swimmers were adorned in colours of competing countries at the Football World Cup. Tahunanui School principal Barbara Bowen says it was by far the coldest swim she had experienced.

"However, the sun out today is very nice to defrost in.”

The annual event is a special one for the school.

"We can’t quite pin the first day, but it has been going for well over twenty years.”

She says it’s a tradition that all students remember doing.

"It is something that is looked forward to and is a bit of a rite of passage."

Barbara says some of the parents have been taking part in the icy dip for over a decade.

"While we all moan and groan, we would feel bad if we didn’t do it."

She says it’s nothing a hot shower and Milo can’t fix.

"Plus, we can gloat about it for the rest of year."

Tahunanui students Briana Barber and Ania Moore say, despite their frozen extremities, they were both glad they took the polar plunge.

"It was freezing, the coldest one yet.”

Ania says, when she touched the water she thought, ‘oh my gosh, that is like ice!’

"My toes went numb, but the feeling is slowly coming back."

Giant picnic table for Queens Gardens Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Queens Gardens is set to become one giant tea party this Friday night for Light Nelson, with Menzshed installing a seven metre long picnic table at the entrance on Monday.

The table is made out of 18 saw horses - all built and installed at the gardens by members of Menzshed Nelson.

The brains behind the installation, Nelson artist Larisse Hall, says the idea is for the community to picnic on a “magical sumptuous feast” during the Light Nelson celebrations.

All the ‘goodies’ for the feast are made from paper mache and have been created by her art class students and pupils from Tahunanui

and Enner Glynn Schools.

“Loads of people come together to make this possible,” says Larisse.

“Menzshed Nelson created the table all from donated material from The Kitchen Studio and Nelson Pine. It actually started out as a small picnic table, but once I saw the amazing space it was going in to, the idea just kept growing and growing,” she says.

Menzshed’s Wayne Logan says it’s their first completed community project since they moved to their new premises - the former Reliance Engineering building on Haven Rd. The picnic table took them just three mornings to pre-fabricate, and once Light Nelson is finished on 10 July, the saw horses will go back to the shed and be “put to good use”.

James Cross Burford, came to Nelson in 1865 and worked as a clerk in Thomas Cawthron’s shipping company. He became engaged to Martha Field, whose father, Thomas, approved the match. But, when his

prospective son-in-law refused to load goods he wanted shipped on an already full, outgoing vessel, he forbade James to visit Martha again.

Martha being made of sterner stuff went ahead and married James without Thomas’ blessing.

Landscape designer James Wheatley with the beginnings of his Light Nelson installation in the NMIT carpark.

Reflecting on Light Nelson Charles Anderson Right now, award-winning landscape designer James Wheatley is standing in the NMIT carpark surrounded by silver ferns.

But come Friday he will be getting out of his comfort zone when he merges light, sound and foliage into his Light Nelson installation.

“I love doing horticultural shows, but to step outside the boundaries and do something more theatrical is

where it’s at,” says James.

He has been a stalwart of the Chelsea Flower Show for years, and it was there last year where he was inspired to create something back home.

“I rapidly thought that I could significantly adapt and link in with New Zealand and the history of bush around Nelson.”

The project, called “Reflection”, involves putting bass speakers underneath a pool which creates a rippling effect.

That will also be linked with a sound scape that connects with the history of land and this space before it became a carpark.

“But also links into the future, and challenges the threat to our ecosystem and to the future of our evolving eco system,” James says.

Janja and Mark Heathfield have helped with the sound design and Tobias Kirschstein with the lighting, as well as help from Big Trees on Lansdowne.

“It’s an exciting opportunity to work alongside so many talented artists.”

Event manager Sophie Kelly says the Light Nelson is going to be full of “magic and surprise”.

“There is a phenomenal amount of trust involved with the artists. You don’t always know exactly how things are going to turn out.”

The event is on for five nights from Friday and features 66 installations, 150 artists and 77,000 times lumens.

Songs for tomorrow: Young artists from schools around the region will perform at a lunch-time concert called ‘Songs for Tomorrow’ this Thursday, 5 July, at the newly refurbished Nelson Centre of Music Arts. The contemporary concert will give five young composers and singer-songwriters from year 11 and over the opportunity to present their work to the public. The 40 minute show will run from 12:30pm to 1:10pm. Tickets are $10 from the NCMA, door sales available.

Gangshow returns after 26 years: The Nelson Scout Gangshow is back. Michael and Bridget Smith, the co-directors of the 2018 Gangshow, have re-vamped the show, which involves singing, dancing, acting and comedy by Scouts and leaders in the Nelson region. The cast of 36 range in age from 10 to 65. The Nelson 2018 Gangshow is on for four performances at the Theatre Royal from 19 - 21 July. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for children (under 14) and can be purchased from the Theatre Royal, TicketDirect or Richmond Mall.

Brass back at the NCMA: Nelson City Brass is hosting an evening of musical entertainment on Monday, 9 July, 7:30pm at the Nelson Centre of Musical Arts. This is their first show back at the refurbished auditorium, and is for all ages, showcasing soloists and the full band. Nelson City Brass is one of the oldest brass bands in New Zealand and has been providing entertainment to the public of the Nelson region for over 160 years. Tickets are $20 for adults, $5 for children (under 18) and are available from TicketDirect.

Ryan looking to ‘Get Ballsy’ Jonty Dine After battling and beating testicular cancer, local footballer Ryan Stewart has made it his mission to raise awareness for the deadly condition.

During his treatment, Ryan, also known as “Skippy”, says he wanted to stage an event that would prompt men to think about their own testicular health.

So the 33-year-old will stage a charity football match on September 29 at Trafalgar Park, with all funds going to Testicular Cancer NZ. A number of stars have already signed up to feature in the match.

“At this stage we have announced Paul Ifill, Ben Sigmund, Annalie Longo, Gareth Turnbull, and Paul Hughes,” Ryan says.

Also “90 percent” confirmed to appear are former All Blacks Cory Jane, Piri Weepu, Kiwi comedian Ben Hurley, Anita Maclaren and a handful of Wellington Phoenix players. “If we could get 1214 famous and sportspeople that would be great.”

Ryan says he and his wife have been getting a warm reaction when inviting players to the

Nelson footballer and cancer survivor Ryan Stewart will stage a charity football match at Trafalgar Park in September.

event.

“Chelsea has been very busy with emails and Paul with his football connections and his partner Ellie, has been a huge help as well.

Everyone seems to be really interested.”

Ryan says they have had sponsors come on board already. Ben Sigmund’s company Ultra Football is donating the kits for the game, Vic Bar is providing alcohol and an after-match function and AR Concrete in Christchurch is do-

nating funds.

“Embroid Me has also come on board for the print which is fantastic, and we are putting the call out to sponsors if they want to be a part of it.”

He says the name of the game is awareness.

“It’s not one of the cancers that is highlighted, there is no screening for it, there is one campaign which is out there for it. I think we just need to raise the profile and events like this can only help.”

Ryan says, because he had a friend go through cancer he had always checked himself regularly but there are a lot of people out there who don’t know about it.

He says it’s about getting men, particular sportsmen, to check themselves.

“With this macho attitude and sportsman who think they can run through walls, but that can soon change.”

Ryan says he hopes to cram as many people as possible into the

park on September 29.

“We want people to bring the family down, if you’re interested in football come down and laugh at rugby players trying to play, there will also be a few rugby fans that would like to watch Piri Weepu run after a football.”

Ryan was diagnosed with testicular cancer while playing for Tasman United in 2017. “I found something when I was in the shower, I went for a scan and was told best thing was to get it out.”

He was booked for surgery two weeks later and had the affected testicle removed.

Ryan then had two rounds of chemo to kill the cancer completely.

“It wasn’t great, but you’ve just got to do it.”

Ryan had a check-up in May and was given the all clear.

“It’s been great to get back to football and feeling fully fit and back to where I was.”

Giants eyeing finals Locally Owned and Operated

Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

The Mike Pero Nelson Giants are flying high at the top of the New Zealand NBL table.

The Nelson franchise enjoyed its tenth win of the season on June 22 against the Manawatu Jets and, thanks to their superior scoring differential, sit above the Wellington Saints who have also registered 10 wins.

As the business end of the season approaches, Nelson have announced themselves as serious title contenders after a horror run in 2017.

The Giants easily dispatched the Jets 90-71 to claim their tenth victory of the season.

Nelson were coming into the game without starting point guard Kyle Adnam, who was attending an NBA mini-camp with the Dallas Mavericks, and Mike Vukona (injured back).

Damon Heuir top scored for Nelson with 24 points which included a couple of back door alley-oop dunks which provided some excitement for the Whanganui crowd.

Giants skipper Sam Dempster on attack against the Manawatu Jets at the Trafalgar Centre on June 8. Photo: Evan Barnes/ Shuttersport.

Finn Delany contributed 18 points, Jerry Evans Jr returned from injury to score 14 points, and, off the bench, Ali Granger chipped in with 12.

The Giants return to home court this Friday as they take on the Southland Sharks in their penultimate home game of the season.

They will then meet the Wellington Saints on July 21 in what is shaping up as a top of the table clash.

Giants captain Sam Dempster, who has been with the franchise for 11 years, says the team culture is the best it has ever been.

“The culture is amazing and that’s a huge compliment to coach (Jamie) Pearlman.”

Sam says when the team first met the Taipans coach he said that culture was one of the things he prided himself on.

“Jamie has instilled a lot of confidence and has brought in a lot of positive energy.”

The veteran says, after a poor 2017, the side is a very good place.

“We have a good group of people behind us putting in a lot of work, Bill, Julie, Steve and the rest of the team have done an amazing job.”

Sam says the local players knew coming into the season that they had some real talent in the fold for the 2018 season.

He says, with the likes of Finn Delaney, Tohi Smith Milner and the three imports, (Aussies Kyle Adnam and Damon Heuir and

American Jerry Evans Jnr) the local players knew they would have to lift to another level.

“I think we have done that and I’m excited to see what happens next.”

He says one of the highlights of the season has been the return of big crowds to the hangar.

“It’s always awesome to play with a big crowd, you just can’t beat it.”

Sam says the large crowds this season have helped them through a number of tough games.

“They really push us to our limits.”

With six games still remaining, the Giants forward says he is confident his side will be there at the business end of the season.

“We have got a pretty tough road ahead, but we never underestimate anyone and are always ready to go to battle.”

Tough weekend for Nelson footballers It was a tough weekend for Nelson's top football teams with Nelson Suburbs losing its debut match in the Souther Premier League and Blenheim side Rangers AFC taking another step towards winning the Nelson Bays Football first division.

Suburbs went down to a clinical Coastal Spirit side 2-0 in poor conditions at Saxton Field on Sunday. Despite a dominant secondhalf performance, Suburbs went scoreless in their opening Southern Premier League encounter.

Nelson dominated territory and possession in the second as Coastal went on the defensive.

In division one results, Rangers continue to set the pace after defeating Nelson College 2-1 in a top of the table clash.

Elsewhere, defending champions FC Nelson enjoyed a 2-0 win over Richmond Athletic while Tahuna FC and Nelson Suburbs played out a 0-0 draw.

William keeps eye on the rings Jonty Dine

NETBALL: Jacks OPD player Hannah Mead during last Thursday's top of the table clash which ended in a thrilling stalemate between Jacks and Stoke NBS at Saxton Stadium. The top two premier sides played according to reputation and could not be separated after 60 minutes of quality netball. Jacks came into the fixture sitting in top spot on 12 points, three clear of Stoke. Following the 56-all draw, Jacks remain in top spot with 14, Stoke now only trailing by two. On court two, Jacks Navy put up a brave fight against Nelson College for Girls. Nelson led all four quarters, 15-8, 31-14 and 54-20 before claiming a 67-30 victory. In the evening's later game, RichmondF45 defeated Prices Pharmacy 45-28. The city was also treated to some ANZ Premiership netball on Sunday evening as the Tactix hosted the Northern Mystics. The Tactix put on a defensive clinic to claim a 50-40 victory. Photo: Jonty Dine.

Stoke crashes out of title contention Peter Jones The Nelson sub-union champions have been mathematically eliminated from NPD Tasman Trophy title contention.

With a round still to play, Stoke RFC crashed out on Saturday after losing 36-26 to East Coast in Marlborough.

All five games were staged over the hill on Saturday, Nelson managing three wins and confirming three sides for the play-offs starting on July 14.

Nelson and Marist both registered wins over Waitohi and Central respectively to confirm their appearances come finals footy.

Nelson won 40-28 at Endeavour Park while Central lost 41-36 to Marist at Lansdowne Park and Moutere went down to Waimea Old Boys 45-29 at Awarua Park, who, along with Renwick, have also confirmed a finals berth.

However, the final pecking order is yet to be decided - Marist and Renwick meet this week while East Coast host Waimea Old Boys and Nelson have the bye.

The John Goodman Memorial trophy holders will take plenty of confidence into their round 10 clash with Marist, having dis-

However, Renwick displayed the tenacity and composure that has marked their recent efforts, two penalties to replacement Kurt Schollum and a late try to outstanding winger Kavekini Tabu settling their nerves.

Wanderers’ cause was not helped when Liebezeit was binned close to the end, however, his teammates dug deep and scored the game’s final try with time up on the clock.

Renwick was missing blockbusting midfielder Michael Vaeno but had a ready-made replacement in Mako player Levi Aumua who frequently punctured the Wanderers’ defence, providing an effective target in midfield for the Green Machine to run their plays off.

Winger Regan Marshall was also prominent, both on attack and defence, centre Falaula Fotu Moala was an ever-present danger, while loose forward Josh Holdaway, lock Sam White and prop Quinn Harrison-Jones caught the eye.
