Velodrome underpass takes its toll ANNE HARDIE The combination of a steep incline, sharp corner and concrete in the velodrome underpass led to a brain bleed for eight-year-old Jasper Simmons after he lost control of his bike and crashed into the wall. It was a horrifying experience for

his parents, Ben Simmons and Tessa North, who want warning signs and padding on the concrete corners to prevent further accidents happening. The concrete wall bears the black mark from Jasper’s helmeted head hitting it back in December and it is just one of numerous marks from others crashing into

it when young children on bikes gather speed going down the path and do not have the skills to turn the sharp corner. Ben says it happens fast and the numerous parents who use the facility often have more than one child to look after. Jasper’s crash happened when he saw an older boy ride down the path and he

followed before Ben, who was with his five-year-old daughter, could stop him. “Then I heard this gut-wrenching scream. When I got there, he was under his bike with blood pouring down his face.” Initially at Nelson Hospital, it looked like Jasper just needed stitches for the gash on his fore-

head. Then at 3am he vomited and a CT scan showed he had a fractured skull and bleeding into his brain. A traumatic eight hours followed as Jasper was put on a helicopter to Wellington Hospital with his mother and Ben headed to the

Dog owner on-point Maree McManaway has owned English Pointers for 35 years and is making a comeback to canine competition. She and her dog Kasper were one of several breeds competing in the Tasman Districts Gundog Society Championship Show, in association with the Nelson Districts Kennel Association, at Richmond Showgrounds at the weekend. Maree, who lives in Stoke, says after a 10 to 15-year hiatus to raise her four children, she returned to the competition two years ago. She says Kasper, one of three English Pointers she owns, has collected a raft of awards for his on-point display in front of the

judging panel, and now takes a friendly approach, meeting other dogs and showing the characteristics of his breed. “It’s all about how the angles of the bones are and their movement, their expression, whether they are capable for the job that they are bred for,” she says. “Looking after them is making sure they get enough exercise, the right food and lots of love. They’re quite a sensitive breed, if you growl at them, they’ll think the world’s ending, “They love swimming, galloping and stretching out, they’re bred to hunt pheasants and quail, so they need to be able to do that or else they’ll go crazy.”

airport to get on the next plane. “It was hell really; just terrifying. It was eight hours after the scan before the neurosurgeon came out of surgery and said Jasper was going to be fine. Until then we didn’t know if he was going to come out of it fully functional.” Jasper had a window cut into his skull to find the bleed and cauterize it, then 29 staples to put it back together. Ben describes the neurosurgeon as a hero who was putting in long days to save lives. Now Jasper still has a couple of months to go until he is able to get back on his bike and Ben says they will continue going to the velodrome which he says is a wonderful facility for families. But he wants to see signs, padding and also a tin mirror to reflect bike riders coming through the underpass into the path of

After Jasper’s crash in December, Ben contacted the Tasman District Council about safety improvements. Council spokesperson Tim O’Connell says reserves staff, along with the health and safety

officers from both local councils, carried out an inspection on site and discussed how to implement measures to control the way people negotiate the underpass. Markings will be added including ‘keep left’ and ‘walk your bike’. Another possible option is

rumble strips on the ramp path. Ben had hoped some measures would put in place immediately to stop more kids hurtling into the concrete wall and getting seriously hurt. “(Kids) don’t have to be going fast to lose control. If you have a parent with two kids, you can’t be on top of them at the same time and it’s a facility where kids are learning to ride their bikes.” Even while waiting for the ambulance to arrive on the day of Jasper’s crash into the concrete wall, bypassers told Ben of two other accidents that had previously occurred in the underpass. He says the concrete also shows the multiple crashes that have occurred. “You can see the scratch marks from helmets on the wall when kids crash into it.”

Unbuttoning school uniform term GORDON PREECE Whether it’s polos, shorts, skirts or jerseys, Rob and Dot Neiman have principled the craft of creating a uniform that Nelson’s students could be proud to wear each day. Following Dot’s success in homemade children’s wear, she and Rob, a contract supervisor at the time, were approached to consider making the school essential. After beginning production at home in 2002 and producing for two years, demand had excelled

and the home operation was proving too small. The answer was to find a larger space, and Annesbrook-based Dot Neiman Leisurewear opened in 2004. “At the peak we were making uniforms for 11 schools all-round the Nelson area,” Rob says. “It’s been a challenge, it’s been satisfying, and we’ve always set out to produce a better-quality garment than you can buy in the retail sector. “People have criticised at times the cost of our uniforms, but it is

all made locally, and we’ve got to put up with freight, we’ve got to put up with wage increases, but we’re still able to produce a good quality product and compete with imported fabric.” Rob says he and Dot currently produce uniform items in a range of sizes for Henley, Birchwood, Stoke and Enner Glynn schools, and had previously provided for schools such as Garin College, Nelson College for Girls and Nelson and Broadgreen Intermediate. “At this time of year we would be

doing the winter uniforms for the girls’ college, and then during the winter, their summer blouses, it peaked on close to 900 blouses we had to do,” he says. Dot, 79, says after two decades keeping students sharply dressed, she and Rob, 82, believe it’s time to take a break, and will attempt to sell the business in the coming months. “One lady came in the other day and asked me if I was retiring, and she said ‘you can’t, you have to wait until my kids go through primary, please’,” she says.

“We’ve always worked for the schools and not for the money, and this is why I think we’ve never had to advertise. “I think we need a rest,” Dot says. “We’ve got a house at Little Kaiteriteri, so we’ll spend a lot more time over there and we would like to travel around the South Island.” With the retirement of Dot and Rob, some schools are looking to take the opportunity to re-design their uniform. For enquiries about the business call Dot or Rob on 5476318.

Council keeps kitchen waste collection despite cost concerns MAX FRETHEY

Local Democracy Reporter

Nelson City Council wants to forge ahead with a kerbside kitchen waste collection service despite partner Tasman dropping out. Tasman District Council has been working with Nelson on the plan but has proposed dropping out to save more than $18 million over the next decade. Similarly, Nelson Mayor Nick Smith proposed removing the scheme from the city’s 2024-34 Long Term Plan to save almost $11 million. He argued that similar schemes around the country don’t see widespread use, the service isn’t cost-effective in reducing carbon emissions, and that the council has invested $2 million in a methane collector to capture the gases released by decomposing waste. However, elected members narrowly voted to retain the service in the draft plan. Councillor Rachel Sanson argued that it was important to minimise the amount of waste going to the landfill to extend the life of the facility, while councillor Aaron Stallard said external funding would cover the cost of the service over the coming decade. The council ran a trial of the

Community Compost’s Ben Bushell (left) says the collected kitchen waste could supply the region’s farms with high quality fertilizer. Photo: Sara Hollyman. kitchen waste collection service in 2021. 130 homes participated in the trial with an average of 5.5kg of kitchen waste collected from each home per week. That equates to diverting 3000 tonnes of waste a year from landfill from just those 130 homes, preventing 2850 tonnes of methane and 1500 tonnes of carbon dioxide from being produced as the waste breaks down. The kitchen waste collection

scheme is expected to cost $10.875 million over the next 10 years, the bulk of which is currently slated be covered through central government’s Waste Minimisation Fund. However, it is currently unknown if the new government would continue funding the local service as it seeks to cut spending. The cost for Nelson is also expected to significantly increase without Tasman’s participation. Community Compost was in-

volved in the 2021 trial and founder Ben Bushell is pleased to see the “critical” project proposed to be retained in Nelson. He acknowledges the high cost of the service but points out the cost of plastic recycling hasn’t been scrutinised in the same way. “There is a huge cost to that, a very comparable cost. Why should food be treated any different?” Ben says the compost created through Community Compost’s

method of hot composting is an organic, healthy, and highly effective fertilizer that would improve the quality of local crops, benefit the soil, and reduce reliance on foreign fertilizers. “There is enough organic waste produced in our region that, if we composted it, we could transition our whole region to regenerative farming.” While Ben is disappointed Tasman has indicated it doesn’t want to go ahead with the programme, he says Community Compost will still tender for the contract in Nelson, if it gets to that stage. “It would be a knock to the scale we could roll out at, but once we roll out Nelson, we’d be in a great position to expand to Tasman when they’re ready.” A detailed business case on the kitchen waste collection service will be completed regardless of whether the two councils decide to go ahead or abandon the scheme. Nelson City Council is expected to adopt its consultation document for the 2024-34 Long Term Plan on 21 March with consultation following soon after. Residents will be able to provide feedback on dozens of proposals, including funding kitchen waste collection service for the next 10 years.

Blasting into centenary GORDON PREECE Bravehearts followed the sound of Scotland to the Fairfield House Meadow on 28 January for an evening of entertainment from the City of Nelson Highland Pipe Band, Kahurangi Irish Dancers, and Waimea College music teacher, Brett Smith. Band secretary and piper, Lucy Jackson, says the Pipes in the Park event had blasted tunes for seven

years to celebrate Celtic heritage with Nelson, and to raise funds for the band, which currently has about 15 members. She says it was also the first event to celebrate the band’s centenary this year. “That’s very exciting for us because we’ve been around for a long time and we do a lot of civic public Nelson events, like the Christmas parade and the ANZAC services,” she says.

“Some members wore some of the older uniform [at Sunday’s concert] which includes our old doublets and old plaids, which is quite cool. “The funds will be going towards us attending a South Island contest in February, and they also go towards our learner programme for youth to learn the bagpipes and drums.” Lucy says the band was planning more events to mark 100 years.

Teens prepare for trip of a lifetime SARA HOLLYMAN Four teenagers are preparing for the trip of a lifetime, but before they set foot on the plane, they are working hard to raise money for the children they will visit along the way. Macca Miles-Wearing, Magnus Fraser, Sophie O’Neill and Awatini Dooley, along with Victory Boxing’s Paul Hampton, will head to Kenya this April on an all-expenses trip paid for by the Celestielle Charitable Trust (CCT). The trip includes visits to local schools, an orphanage, a boxing gym, an elephant orphanage and safaris. Along the way, the young people will give back to the local communities by volunteering. The group are working with the Pack for a Purpose charity which matches travellers with specific group homes, schools or orphanages in the area of

travel, requiring just a small amount of luggage space. “We’ve committed to raising funds for education and health in those orphanages, group homes and schools,” Paul says. The aim is to raise $5000 which they have been told will go “a long way” to help children in need. The team are also fundraising to help cover the costs associated with required vaccinations, specific items of clothing and passports. “The focus of the whole trip is to broaden the horizons of these four teens, and their families don’t have additional money to cover these types of things, so Victory Boxing is trying to make this as stressfree as possible for these kids and their whānau.” Paul says, since Christmas, a real sense of excitement has been building with the four who will travel.

“It’s all becoming really real and a lot more detail about the trip is coming through from Celestielle.” Co-founder of the Celestielle Trust John Ziegler says being able to give kids the opportunity to go overseas, many for the first time, has been a highlight in his life. “Helping to expand Kiwi minds - you never know how it will come to benefit New Zealand in the long run,” he says. “Anybody who has ever travelled overseas knows that travel changes your life.” Paul says that a big part of their groups is the “giving back” aspect. “The kids that are going will be shown that when somebody gives you something, you give back to others as you can.” To help with fundraising via bank deposit use Victory Boxing Charitable Trust 03 1354 0389353 00 reference ‘Kenya’.

Stay safe around power lines when doing jobs at home! Working around electricity can be dangerous. If you’re catching up on home maintenace this summer, here are some useful tips to help you do it safely.

Did you know you can temporarily disconnect your power? This is the safest way to clean guters and downpipes, paint your roof, eaves or bargeboards, or do any jobs near a service line that connects to your house/ sleepout/bach/garage/shed. Delta is our approved contractor who provides a safety disconnect service. Call them for a quote - 03 543 8071. Service Line

Sometimes a service line can cross your property and drop quite low or go across other structures such as a garage or a shed. Make sure you are aware of the location of any overhead lines when you are preplanning your maintenance projects. If you’re planting trees, building fences or working on something tall in your driveway, it’s always important to look up and around to see where the power lines are and keep away from them. Remember, water and electricity don’t mix. So if you’re water blasting your external walls keep away from the meter box. Water inside the meter box can cause problems.

Sports turf hoped to initiate Wood development MAX FRETHEY

Local Democracy Reporter

A new all-weather artificial turf at Guppy Park wouldn’t just be a score for Nelson sports but could serve as an opportunity to breathe new life into the Wood. Nelson City Council voted to include a proposal for the turf in its draft 2024-34 Long Term Plan during its last meeting of 2023 in December. Though a location for the proposed facility hasn’t been finalised, Guppy Park is its likely location. Phil Thompson, president of FC Nelson, says that Guppy Park is in high demand from sports teams year-round, which deteriorates the state of the field. “You just get to a point where these grounds don’t keep up. We haven’t got the resources to maintain these grounds.” The last football season saw three weekends of cancellations, however dozens of match locations also had to be frequently changed due to “diabolical pitch conditions”. Kent Inglis, senior club captain for Nelson Rugby Club, says that it’s not uncommon for the club to have to cancel games for three or four weeks each season.

FC Nelson’s Phil Thompson, Ngāti Rārua’s Shane Graham, and Nelson Rugby Club’s Kent Inglis say that an artificial turf at Guppy Park would benefit the entire community. Photo: Max Frethey. He adds that having a surface that would always stay in good condition would enable more tournaments to come to Nelson. However, the turf would also provide a facility for the youth and wider community to use. “It’s pretty sparse in terms of what we’ve got down here and what

we’ve got to offer, particularly for youth, we find that a real challenge,” Kent says. Therein lies the hope for the proposed turf – that it kicks off a wider plan to enhance the community well-being of the Wood. Shane Graham, pouwhakahaere (chief executive) of Te Rūnanga

o Ngāti Rārua, has been working with FC Nelson and Nelson Rugby Club to help develop a vision for the park and its surrounds that incorporates iwi aspirations for the area. “This is the only piece of whenua that has any potential to develop into something that’s fit for pur-

pose,” he says. In addition to the turf, it’s hoped the park will one day be home to a community centre that’s open week-long and incorporates arts and culture, while also providing opportunities for coordination with other local agencies. He points out that the Wood is home to many residents but few community facilities and that building a community centre would plug a gap in the area’s social infrastructure. “It pays to provide recreational support for the betterment and well-being of people,” he says. “The revitalisation of Nelson city centre has to involve this park here as well.” Long-time turf advocate and councillor, Tim Skinner, said Nelson has “fallen well behind” by not yet having built an all-weather sports turf when the council voted on the proposal last month. “There’s a lot of gains for the community, it’s not just about a particular sport. You’ve got economic benefit for Nelson, you’ve got the community and social well-being.” The turf is expected to cost $2.65 million across 2025-27, with sports clubs expected to cover half the cost.

Above average NCEA results for Nelson GORDON PREECE Two Nelson secondary school principals say their students achieved above the national average in the 2023 NCEA results. Nayland College acting principal Hannah Banks says her students had “bucked the trend” across most NCEA levels and university entrance (UE) results, which were released on 17 January. “At Level 1, it stayed pretty much static, we’ve dropped from 75.6 to 74.6 achievement, in every other category we’ve improved our results, Level 2 has gone up to 88.5 per cent achievement, and Level 3 to 74.3,” she says. “Our Level 2 achievement is the one that we are particularly pleased to see setting so high, at the moment it is quite a significant rate above the national achievement at 72 per cent. “University entrance achievement rate at Nayland College is just below the national average, the national average being 47 and we’re at 46 per cent achievement.”

She also says students who sat the online Level 1 English exam achieved well, considering its nationwide log-in issues. “A lot of our students had to resort to paper, but we continue to try and encourage our students to learn through a range of contexts. We use devices heavily but not exclusively, so they can achieve online and on paper,” she says. Nelson College acting prin-

cipal Tim Oughton says their students also stacked up. “I‘m happy with what they’ve done given the stresses in the system in the past three or four years,” he says. “With Level 1, our combined merit and excellences have improved with nearly half of our students getting merit and excellence, at Level 2, excellences are above our comparative schools. “Our Level 3 results are continuing to improve with about one third of them getting merit or excellence in overall achievement.”

Organiser Kat Beyle says the project, which began capturing individuals with peace messages in different languages from early January, was designed to offer support and hope to New Zealand-based Palestinians who feel they don’t have a voice. “The intent is not so much about taking sides than about promoting peace, although obviously Palestine is the focus as it is bearing the brunt of the attacks,” she says. “I invited anyone I thought might be interested to participate from different nationalities, and the [Te Tau Ihu Palestine Solidarity] group helped me to spread the flyer that I made. “The response has been really great… people have been photographed around different locations in Nelson like the

Proposed arts hub would ‘enrich’ Nelson MAX FRETHEY

Local Democracy Reporter

A proposed arts hub is poised to finally provide a space for Nelson’s artists to come together and enrich the community. Nelson City Council agreed to include a proposal to develop a central city arts hub in the 2027-28 financial year of its draft 2024-34 Long Term Plan during its final meeting last year. The hub is expected to cost $1.6 million and would serve as a home of a proposed arts development agency. “It’s also about building a place for advocacy and for a wide range of uses,” said deputy mayor Rohan O’Neill-Stevens at the time. “To be a central hub with gallery workshop and creative spaces available for a wide range of uses.” Currently, many of the city’s artistic endeavours are centred on the Refinery ArtSpace on Hardy St. However, the building is earthquake-prone and likely expensive to strengthen, in addition to only having “makeshift” facilities for local artists.

target specific areas of the community. “We need something to be more open to the general community,” Lloyd says. “It would be great to

have a dedicated space.” He adds that a hub has been “a long time coming” with the last community art space being the Nelson Community Arts Centre

which “fell over” in the 1990s, leaving the city without a dedicated space for the past couple decades. Ideally, Lloyd would like an arts hub to have “making spaces” for all sorts of visual mediums, including paint, pottery, and fibre, as well as performance spaces for theatre and dancing, and maybe even a recording studio and lighting equipment for musicians and filmmakers. “We’ve got to dream big… but we’re certainly taking steps in the right direction for that. It will enrich Nelson. The more creative activities and experiences we have, the richer the community.” The $1.6 million figure is proposed to be used to repurpose an existing centre city building rather than building a new facility. Nelson City Council is expected to adopt its consultation document for the 2024-34 Long Term Plan on 21 March with consultation following soon after. Residents will be able to provide feedback on dozens of proposals, including the plan to fund the arts hub.

To care always for nearly 40 years GORDON PREECE Mary Garner has supported Nelson Tasman Hospice volunteers since its establishment in 1987. The 69-year-old farewelled her colleagues last Friday after nearly 40 years with the palliative care organisation, a role which she says got her out of bed every morning. “Being in a job for a long time used to be a virtue but it’s not considered that anymore… it’s the volunteers and seeing the difference they make for patients is what’s got me out of bed every morning,” she says. “Even now as I’m about to retire, it still gives me the greatest satisfaction to place a volunteer with a patient and family and see the difference that volunteer makes in that patient and family’s life. “Whether that be family support, giving the caregiver a break, or story writing with the patient, that’s extremely satisfying, and I remain absolutely humbled when I look at

the time that our volunteers give.” Mary says she’d grown up and currently resides at her family apple orchard in Ruby Bay, and prior to 1987, she had worked at Whanganui District Health Board. After gaining insight from her late mother’s involvement in training rural-based Hospice nurses, and reading Elisabeth Kübler-Ross book about terminal illness, it motivated her to move back home and join the freshly established Nelson Tasman Hospice. “When we started, we had a couple of nurses and we had 17 patients, and we were in an old house on Waimea Rd and it moved from one old house to another until four years ago we moved into the building we’re in now [on Suffolk Rd],” she says. “The service has grown exponentially, both the volunteer and the hospice service over that time. “I was a volunteer manager for 29 of [the 37] years, and by the

time I transferred into a coordinating role, we had around 350 volunteers working for hospice.” Mary, who was also awarded Queen’s Service Order in 2017 for her community service, says life story writing with patients made a profound difference to their time spent in Hospice care. “When someone’s approaching death, they can sometimes be comforted by being able to give those aspects the light of day and put them to bed again,” she says. “It also allows people to reevaluate their life, and recognise what a good life they have, so that’s pretty satisfying to patients.” Mary says her retirement plans included trips this year with her husband, Murray, to India and Africa, funeral celebrant and Justice of the Peace work, and continue hosting her hospice colleagues and local charities to pick apples from the remaining trees at her orchard.

Five new homes for Stoke whānau Five new rental homes are set to be developed in Stoke with a $750k grant from Nelson City Council. Late in 2023, councillors agreed to the grant from Housing Reserve Fund to Kaikaiāwaro Charitable Trust (Te Rūnanga O Ngāti Kuia) for the development of five semiattached rental homes at 104 Nayland Rd. Four units are designed to accommodate larger whānau and the fifth unit is an accessible, smaller unit for higher needs whānau. The Trust has recently lodged

an application for resource consent. The grant of $750,000 equates to 24 per cent of the total project cost - the land is already owned by the Trust. Chair of Council’s Community Housing Acceleration Taskforce, councillor Rachel Sanson, says this is an important step in Council’s partnership with iwi and in tackling the significant issue of housing insecurity. “These five new homes will be a welcome addition to our community in Stoke and continue the excellent work which

has been done to improve access to healthy, affordable homes in Nelson.” The Taskforce also recommended, and the Council agreed, that a further $2.25 million be set aside to enable iwi trusts to make an application to the Housing Reserve in accordance with the Housing Reserve criteria. This will leave a balance of $3.95 million in the main housing reserve. If the funds set aside for iwi trusts haven’t been allocated by 30 June 2025, they will return Housing Reserve.

Empowering creativity through workshops ALEXANDRA KONITZ A group of local artists say they are helping others improve their lives and encouraging them to stand up for themselves while providing a platform for local artists to earn an income. NZ Textile Experiences (NZTE), a Nelson-based business that offers art textile and fibre craft workshops, has become more and more popular since its beginning in 2016. The workshops now attract participants from all over the world to experience techniques ranging from bookbinding and felt work through to basket weaving and screen printing. “It offers a platform for artists to share their skills and techniques with others who are on their artistic journey,” explains Cynthia Greep, who recently took over the business. She says it is essential to have the opportunity to be creative, especially in this day and age. “People are not aware, but the process of creating art helps process feelings and at the same time reduces stress and anxiety while increasing self-esteem,” Cynthia says. “This is so important as the world we live in can be quite hard

In fact, some people still don’t see being an artist as a real profession, she

remarks. NZTE tutor Maggy Johnstone further emphasizes how important creativity is. She has been fascinated by art since she was young. “Since I was a child, through my entire childhood, I played with art and creativity. I cannot imagine a life without art,“ Maggy says. Her current art centres around sustainability and gender equal-

ity by working with unconventional, pre-used materials that are regarded as traditionally being more handled by males, like iron, copper or wire. Maggy’s list of achievements is long: she has a master’s degree in fine arts, has presented her own exhibitions in many galleries, and has taken part and been a finalist in WoW winning awards twice. “We cannot change the world,

but I think we can improve the lives of many people, help them feel better about themselves, and encourage them to stand up for themselves more. “That is what art can do; it brings people together and helps them blossom,. After Cynthia took over the business last year, she took part in the Chamber of Commerce Work and Art Programme, which is managed by Stephen Broad-Paul. The programme is a free career support and business mentoring programme, that’s purpose is to assist creative people who have skills or current work experience in the creative sector. “Given their economic environment, it can be quite challenging at the moment,” Stephen explains. “So generally a lot of artists will undersell their work initially.” This is why the Work and Art programme was initiated Cynthia, Stephen and Maggy all agree that artists are getting recognized and appreciated more for their work and skill, due to more art exposure and education through social media and technology developments. “Things are starting to change”, concludes Cynthia.

Opinion Unifying our Councils could achieve so much more than just saving money I agree with the Mayor of Nelson, Dr Nick Smith, that we should consider amalgamating Nelson City and Tasman District Councils. Nelson’s urban economic area stretches from Wakefield through to Hira and all the way up beyond Motueka. Having two Councils with potentially two conflicting agendas for their urban development governing this region is problematic. It is not only inefficient in administration costs - why pay two sets of Councillors, two CEOs and two full administrative bodies that overlap in their roles anyway? - it is also highly ineffective for achieving regional development goals. Our Future Development Strategy is the best example: While in land-constrained Nelson most future growth is best accommodated through intensification, the comparatively vast Tasman District sees its strength in (initially) cheap greenfield expansion. As a compromise between these different agendas, our Future Development Strategy therefore assigns a large proportion of our future growth to Tasman’s greenfield expansion and also hopes to achieve intensification in Nelson. Both concepts are diametrically opposed and trying to achieve both is ineffective. It’s like driving a car with one foot on the accelerator and the other one on the brakes. The release of greenfield land undercuts the economic feasibility of urban intensification by lowering land values across the whole urban area and thereby making more efficient land development (intensification) less appealing. It also influences the demand side: the provision of retail opportunities and shopping malls outside of Nelson’s city centre removes our retail

spending from the city centre. If we want to rejuvenate and activate Nelson’s city centre, we need a unified approach and stop urban sprawl in our region. That also means “no” to the Hope bypass (or flyover) and “yes” to further boosting our public transport network. We’ve seen a fantastic uptake of our revamped bus network with much higher patronage than expected. This is excellent and makes future intensification possible. There is no cheaper or more space-efficient way for us to move lots of commuters from where they (currently) live to where they work than our bus services. Mode change, which means more commuters choosing to use our expanding and improving bus network instead of their cars, will free up existing road space for other traffic, such as trucks going to the port or tradies. Heavy investment in additional road infrastructure such as the Hope bypass, however, will induce additional demand for car traffic why use the bus if it seems much easier to drive? This would not only threaten the success of our new bus network, it would also be the first step towards more congestion at the next bottleneck and towards further urban sprawl creeping into our highly productive countryside between Richmond, Hope and Brightwater. Investing in a Hope flyover when we want to achieve better uptake of our bus network, is again ineffective. We need to stop this piecemeal approach! Instead we need one Council, one concept and a highly-skilled team of professionals to implement the policies that will lead our region to success. Timo Neubauer

Nelson’s $100,000 flower baskets They were the first thing our recent visitors commented as being special about our city on their first trip to Nelson. Marnie Lenihan I walked along Trafalgar St yesterday and enjoyed the lovely colours and the gorgeous floral smell, it makes the street a little special. When we first visited 11 years ago I also remember the hanging baskets, so I do think they are worth the money to put a smile on locals faces and possibly bring back visitors either occasionally or to relocate permanently like I did. I know things are tough, but I would be sorry to see them go. Lorna Harrison Keep them! They are beautiful and keep the city colourful. They are quite special. Vicki Boyiadjis How do they come up with a cost of $100,000??? That’s insane. Neela Uka The hanging baskets are the BEST they have ever been. Just stunning.

Nelson Matters Hon Dr Nick Smith

COMMEMORATING WAITANGI DAY Whakatū Marae and Ngāti Koata are inviting Nelsonians to join them to commemorate Waitangi Day. This annual marae event had fallen into abeyance since Covid hit in 2000. I have advocated as Mayor and a member of the Whakatū Marae Committee to have it revitalised. This event is important in improving understanding of our nation’s founding document, giving people the opportunity to experience marae protocol and to build good relationships with our local iwi. I am grateful to Ngāti Koata for taking the initiative to host this year’s event. There is much in the 150-year history of Nelson City Council that we can be proud of. However, it is only in recent years that any attempt has been made to honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi/Treaty of Waitangi and include iwi in decisions about our city. I was very involved as a Government Minister and as Nelson’s then MP in the settling of Te Tauihu Treaty claims in 2014 and I am determined now, as Mayor, that these are honoured by our Council. I signed, on Council’s behalf, on 12 December 2023 the historic agreement between our eight Te Tauihu iwi us and our two neighbouring councils of Tasman and Marlborough. The challenge now is to implement this agreement in a way that builds confidence and shows the benefits of working together. This is particularly important when, nationally, Treaty issues are becoming more divisive and when, internationally, disputes over culture and race are causing conflict. We need to acknowledge there is a tension between the important principle that all New Zealanders are treated equally regardless of ethnicity and honouring the Treaty, and find a pragmatic way forward. I want Council doing some good practical projects with iwi that benefit all. I also want to see progress on improving Māori outcomes in key areas such as housing, health and education. The Waitangi Day commemorations on Tuesday, 6 February, include pōwhiri at 9am, 11am and 12pm, enabling the experience of a traditional Māori welcome. The event includes a hāngī, traditional Māori art and more than 70 other stalls. It’s a day to celebrate our unique history and culture.

Burns Builders - transforming spaces and building dreams in the Top of the South In the heart of Nelson there's a builder whose passion for the craft has spanned nearly three decades. Meet David Burns, the face behind Burns Builders, a name synonymous with quality, craftsmanship, and a commitment to turning dreams into reality. David's journey in the building industry began over 30 years ago when he first gained his trade certificate in Christchurch. David’s brief stint as a building surveyor enabled a valuable deeper understanding of problem-solving and providing solutions, but he realised his true calling was on the tools. Two years ago he took the leap to start Burns Builders, driven by a desire to be hands-on,

see ideas come to life, and relish the satisfaction of transforming spaces – a joy he missed during his desk job. One of the driving factors behind branching out was the flexibility it offered him to balance work and home life. With two young children, being his own boss allowed David to create a schedule that suited both his professional and family responsibilities. For David, building isn't just about structures; it's a holistic process from idea to completion. His friendly and approachable demeanour instantly puts clients at ease, making the building journey enjoyable for them. The commitment to excellence is evident

Golf’s longest day: 72 holes over 13 hours JACK MALCOLM When four local boys decided they wanted to complete golf ’s longest day, they weren’t quite ready for what they had in store. Zac Shirley, George Aerakis, Tāne Stephens and George Smith walked over 28 kilometres as they completed 72 holes at Greenacres Golf Club, raising approximately $1500 for the Nelson Cancer Society Tasman. With handicaps ranging from the high 13s to mid-14s, the group took just over 13 hours to complete the feat after a bright and early 6am start. “It was pretty tough going into that third 18,” Zac says. “That night (after), we felt pretty sore. We had a mean sleep.” “That’s when the wheels fell off,” George Smith says.

Local news

Having gotten into golf 18 months ago, the group often play long sessions at the course, George Aerakis says. “We sort of thought, we’re already crazy with the amount of holes we want to play. But it’s never 72.” They often play one and a half rounds, 27 holes, and sometimes play two full rounds. In the school holidays, they’re golfing up to five times a week, but during termtime, that drops to once a week or even once a fortnight through the winter. Zac says a few of their dads are also golf-mad, so they also play with them often. Off the course, the boys also enjoy surfing together, saying that’s partially how their friendship started. They’ve also been schoolmates and family friends. Zac and Tāne attend Waimea

College, while the Georges are both at Nelson College. The group wanted to thank Greenacres, their home club, for supporting the challenge. “They’re a big part of why we did it, as well,” says George Aerakis. “Not just the challenge. But from when we started, they’ve been really supportive.” Alongside getting behind the boys with a donation box in the clubhouse, the club’s golf shop manager, Tyrone Nelson’s, support was instrumental in getting them over the line. On top of being there for the teeoff, he supplied them with hydration throughout the day and joined the group for their final 18 holes. “You can’t say enough for what Tyrone did for us, he supported us the entire round,” says Zac.

Joel Myers Jnr showed a clean pair of heels to extend his lead in the Hydraulink ‘War of the Wings’ series after round 5 at Milestone Homes Top of the South Speedway. Off the front row in the feature with local driver Connor Rangi, there was no matching the young American. Rangi was coming into the weekend with the feature win from last week’s round. The night started well, clocking the fastest time in the trials, and winning the opening heat, but the slickening track offered him little to help to catch the American in the feature. Dyllan Forsey continued his delve into the Sprint Car class, finishing ahead of Nelson’s American Import Brenham Crouch to claim 3rd spot in the feature, Alicia Hill doing double duty in rounding out the top 5. The T.Q.’s continue to front with big numbers, the second round of the club championship setting up a big finale with the points. A tie at the top between Jayden Corkill and John Schoester on 87 points, Jonty Austin just a point back, with Alicia Hill and Morgan Frost also in striking distance. The heat wins went to Frost and Austin with a Hail-Mary from Canterbury’s Jess Morris to hold off a handful of drivers in an epic last race. The Stock Cars raced a ‘Hit to Pass’ format with points being deducted for non-hitting. Plenty of heavy contact left a couple of drivers feeling it -

Cam Rollo taking some heavy punishment, but the Higgins chassis kept on trucking. The results went to the visiting drivers, Jay Holtham sneaking past local out-of-town contracted drivers Roydon Winstanley and Riley Eathorne. Melissa Gifford ended her night parked on her side. It took a run-off to decide the Production Saloon club Open Championship, Eddie Frans holding out Vaughan Cornelious to take the title. Both have had success over the holiday period, it was a hard-fought battle in the 4-lap run-off. Geoff Watson filled the podium in 3rd spot. Quarter Midgets were the youth support grade on the night. Fresh from seeing the Foo Fighters, Taylor Martin was still pumping, winning heat 2 and taking out his first feature race. Meneka Rawson won heat one, keeping the boys honest. The Super Stocks had a couple of drivers away in recovery mode, Alex Hill and John Everett still feeling the effects from recent racing, while Callum Russ’ engine was still in Christchurch. Visiting Canterbury-based Gisborne driver Tom Cooper took out the night’s points results, Blake Hearne playing runner-up in the first two heats but missing the final race. The Nelson club received the confirmation that they have met the criteria to host the NZ Super Stock title next year, the date now awaiting SNZ approval as the club starts to build towards the biggest title in NZ Speedway.

Local completes race which often has no finishers JACK MALCOLM Darron Jones says he’s never been as happy as the euphoria he felt crossing the finish line of the Revenant Ultra Adventure Run. Earlier in January, he and 18-year-old Finn Mitchell joined an elite club of six people who have finished one of the country’s toughest adventure races since its inception in 2019. Starting in the pitch black of night, the 44-year-old land surveyor got no sleep

over the 59 hours of racing through the untamed Southland wilderness as he tallied up 200km and almost 16,000 metres of elevation across four laps of the course. “I’m pretty stuffed,” he says. “I ripped off one of my toenails yesterday, and I have lots of scratches, sores, rashes and blisters.” And the reward for finishing? It’s not a trophy or prize money but a shot of whisky that only a finisher has the honour of drinking. Darron says, on top of being out in nature and the physical challenge, he enjoys navigating the rough and rugged terrain. With the sun cresting on the race’s final day, the duo knew they had a good chance of

finishing. But Darron says that he came into the event with no expectations of finishing against a field that contained multiple international athletes. “Definitely (I thought) we’ll see how we go. You just have to have an open mind about races. You’ve got to just go in and try and enjoy it.” Having taken 15 hours for their longest lap, they had 17 hours to complete the final lap but knew their bodies were starting to tire out. The pair knew they would still be on track if they made it to the top of a hill in the distance before daybreak, but they were still climbing as it started getting light. Darron says he doesn’t think he would have been able to finish the race without teaming up with Finn. “We definitely talked about that, working together. “We’re about the same pace alongside each other, helping each other out.”

At the start of the event, every athlete was given a playing card, with red or black deciding which direction they would complete the course in, and it was luck that the pair had the same. By the end of the first day, Darron and Finn had been alongside another racer with a different coloured card who had to part ways. Darron says training for the race was lighter of a load than people might think, with the most important thing being consistency. “It’s just about doing a few miles. Doing a few runs a week and one big one.” “Just getting that time on your feet and the legs used to walking all day, learning to run on tired legs.” As for another event on the horizon, he says he wants to spend some time recovering but has some less-taxing adventure races on the cards, which he wants to do with his partner and kids. “There’ll always be something else out there, another race to do.”

Squance wins harbour circuit

Hang glider champs lift off near Murchison ANNE HARDIE About 40 hang gliders are soaring thermals in the skies above Murchison as they compete in the New Zealand Hang Gliding Nationals. Tasman Hang Gliding and Paragliding Club president, Kevin Rooke, says competitors are competing in up to eight rounds that take them on flights over mountainous country as far as the Nelson lakes and Raglan Range. “It’s really spectacular mountain scenery, so you’re seeing some of New Zealand’s best scenery.” Murchison has been the location for the national championships for the past few years and Kevin says it has been a good area to build skills. Competitors fly off Mt Murchison and head over the mountains. Being so close to the Main Divide provides good thermals for them to fly higher and hopefully com-

PETER GIBBS Hayden Squance is poised to take the lead in the Rylock Swim Series, after a narrow win over his nearest rival Terry Bone in race 11 on Thursday. The pair went stroke for stroke in the race over 1400m, with Blenheim triathlete Gus Marfell tucked close behind. Their positions didn’t change through the race, although only five seconds separated them at the finish. Unsurprisingly, Ben Marshall, Hamish Neill and Marcell Kepess filled the next places. These three are always in attendance at the front of the field, seeking any opportunity to gain a place or two. Lilly Claridge was next, taking her eighth win in the women’s field from the nine races she’s contested this year. Scotsman Stuart Cook, swimming without a wetsuit, was next, finishing four seconds behind Lilly and in a blanket finish with Eddie Swain and second woman Keshia Linyard. A minute further back, Christina Harris and Nia Linyard were separated by a second as they took the next women’s placings. The 18-race series is reaching an interesting point in the season, with final placings determined on the best 12 swims from each contestant. That means that after 13 swims, the worst result is dropped and no further points earned unless there’s a better result than one previously recorded. Terry Bone leads the series at present, but he has 10 swims under his belt, compared to nine for Hayden Squance. The pair have met eight times, with Hayden having the upper hand on five of those occasions. He seems poised to take the lead once both have 12 swims under their belts. Thursday’s race took competitors to the south-eastern end of Haulashore Island before returning to the structure in the harbour known as the dolphin. Nelson’s dolphin isn’t used for mooring, but as a navigation marker for shipping entering the harbour through The Cut. Swimmers know it as a useful marker, but also as a dangerous device, with shells and barnacles capable of inflicting a lot of damage on skin or wetsuits should currents or other swimmers cause any contact.

is all about clouds, wind drift and terrain. “It’s not a matter of just flying there in a straight line. You can’t get there without finding thermal lift to achieve that distance.

plete courses that can be up to 100 kilometres. Winning the round is not based just on time as the first pilots to fly the course are finding thermals and that helps those following locate them, so that is factored into the competition. Finding thermals gets the hang gliders higher so they can cover the distance and Kevin says it

there is a factor of luck.” Competitors have come from around the country with several also from overseas, and he says they hang glide because it is such a wonderful way of flying. “To me, there isn’t anything quite like going up and across this country in a hang glider. It’s just such a magical feeling.”

Nelson Heat Baseball has gone from strength to strength in recent years. As they count down to nationals in mid-February, the club’s 16U team is stacked with talent, while the 14U team has returned from their national baseball festival with bronze. With multiple players trialling for a number of agegrade representative national teams, the club has shown there’s a well-trodden pathway for players searching for higher honours. Quinn Heiford, James Matthews and Cameron Lukey are all part of the PAC-MEN 16U team and have been selected to travel to the Babe Ruth 16U World Series in Branson, Missouri, later this year. Beiro Polanco, son of a former NY Mets-signed player Eliooth Polanco, will travel to California this year for the 14U International World Series, while Jacoby Golding, Bodie Ingereson and Max Heiford were named in last year’s National U-15 Squad. Nelson Heat 16U coach Dwayne Smith says while the club and region don’t punch above their weight, they certainly hold their own. Last year, the 16U team were named the New Zealand do-

And we’ve got great people behind the scenes. “It’s growing, there’s lots of kids in the 12U who will filter through to the 14U and hopefully then the 16U.” Dwayne says that kids see the likes of MLB players such as Shohei Ohtani, who just signed a $600 million dollar contract with the Yankees, and imagine themselves there one day too. “These kids still aspire to

be something and there is a pathway for them if they apply themselves and do the hard work. There’s different leagues all around the world, like the Japanese league and the Australian League.” Nelson Heat Baseball Club was established in 2017 in Richmond by friends Rachel Knowles and former Black Sox pitcher Marty Grant, who were seeking baseball opportunities for their sons and their friends who were interested in the sport. Beginning with one team of 15 players who managed to take the bronze medal at their first-ever Club Nation-

als, the club has since grown to five teams, and the region has a second club providing extra competition. But, there’s a lack of local competition and the Nelson Heat players often have to travel to tournaments to get game time under their belt. The club does host their own invitational tournament over Labour Weekend for 12U teams through to 19U teams, the second largest club tournament in the country, but they still have to go out of town to get regular games. Alongside the travel comes the expenses, with club president Rachel Knowles saying it costs up to $18,000 per team to attend nationals. With two teams travelling to Auckland this year for their respective tournaments, she says it’s funding programmes such as NZCT that have provided $7,237 to help cover transportation and accommodation. “A vital part of our baseball programme is trying to ensure that all our members have the opportunity to compete, regardless of their personal financial situation. As a regional club with a limited number of teams, it’s important for our players to get out of the region and play against and with other baseballers from around the country.”
