Little brother’s lifesaving gift Jonty Dine When 13-year-old Liam Seelen got the news he was a donor match, he did not hesitate to offer a piece of himself to save his big brother’s life. Brodie Seelen is the epitome of an active teenager. At the start of 2020, Brodie conquered the most gruelling adventure race in New Zealand, the Coast2Coast, at just 16 years of age. His biggest challenge was to come just two weeks later, however, as Brodie was told he had cancer. Following the race, Brodie had severe pain in his back and an MRI showed he had a slipped disc. However, that was not all the scan revealed.
X-rays showed that at least half of the bone in Brodie’s spine and pelvis was cancerous. “It literally felt like the world stopped,” his mother Mary says. She recalls how the doctor held his head in his hands in disbelief as he realised the young man he was talking to was the same one he’d read about in the Nelson Weekly the night before. “I could tell from the way he was talking that our boy wouldn’t have long.” Doctors were amazed Brodie was able to complete the race with essentially half his bone marrow. Brodie says the words took a while to set in.

Intensive roadworks to replace Annesbrook’s over-capacity wastewater systems is set to continue through the holidays. The work began in September to create a new wastewater diversion system along Whakatu Drive. It has seen the passage between
Beatson Rd and Annesbrook Dr down to one lane for part of the past two months. Council started the work after complaints over sewage overflows on several properties in the area following heavy rain. “With an increased number of houses connected to the existing system and with future
development in mind, there is a need to increase the resilience of the sewer pipe network, especially during heavy rainfall,” council says. It hopes that upgrading the wastewater system in this area will minimise the impact of future sewer overflows in wet weather events. The new pipe
will connect into the Quarantine Road network via Annesbrook Drive south. Construction will take place in two stages to minimise traffic disruption over the Christmas and New Year period. This has seen the southbound lane on Annesbrook Drive closed to traffic, with heavy motor
vehicles not permitted to use sections of Nayland Road. Stage 2, starting after Christmas, will see the upgrade extend from the section of Railway Reserve that intersects Quarantine Road and up along Annesbrook Drive to eventually connect with the

College auction raises $55k for mental health Jacqui Rawson
It was a huge result for a charity auction at Nelson College last week. The auction raised about $55,000 for The Key to Life Charity, which advocates for mental health issues. The charity was chosen by the school’s student council. “I want to give my heartfelt thanks to all the suppliers, without whose donations we wouldn’t have achieved what we did,” says event organiser Steve Page. The highest bid of the night, fought out between just two bidders, was for the Trends Kitchen with a resulting bid of $20,000 from the Picot family. “$50,000 was the target set at the start of the year and this goal was smashed out of the park,” says Nelson College deputy
Auctioneer, Kevin Cross, with the highest bidder of the night for the Trends Kitchen’s fitout, Louis Picot and Tai Tupou, staff of the ‘Key to Life’ charity, the recipient of the funds raised.

Ron says the community backed the event, filling the hall to capacity and generously supporting it by buying every item that was on the auction list. “Nelson College would like to express our gratitude to all of the individuals, businesses and
sponsors that made the night such a success.” Three of the representatives from Key to Life also flew to Nelson for the event with representative, Tai Tupou speaking from the heart about his background in dealing with mental health issues.

Council will take advantage of the wastewater construction works to simultaneously upgrade a section of footpath along Annesbrook Drive from Stafford Ave. Council’s group manager infrastructure Alec Louverdis acknowledged there would be disruption to traffic while the work took place and thanked the community for their patience. “The work we are doing here will provide the city with enhanced resilience to sewer overflows from heavy rainfall events. The impact of climate change means we will see major storms more frequently, and we must make sure Nelson’s wastewater system is designed to cope with this.”

Little brother’s lifesaving gift FROM PAGE 1 “It didn’t feel real but, once I processed it, I just thought it what it is and, instead of worrying about it, I just tried to focus on the next steps and moving forward.” The next three weeks saw Brodie endure every medical procedure imaginable. The extensive testing eventually uncovered that Brodie did not have cancer but an incredibly rare bone disease, Aplastic Anaemia. This news wasn’t exactly reassuring, as the one in a million disease is described as ‘bones becoming like ground glass’. As well as adventure racing, Brodie is a rower, surf lifesaver, plays basketball and underwater hockey, is in the school choir and drama company. Now 17, the Nayland College student says the biggest challenge has been adapting to life away from school, work, and sport. “It was a pretty crazy turn; I basically was told I couldn’t do anything. So to go from training or working every day to being bedridden was the hardest change.” Brodie’s brothers were all tested for compatibility in order to donate bone marrow. To the delight of the family, the youngest Liam was a perfect match. “It was incredible, and he is more

Photo: Jonty Dine. than happy to be able to give his big brother, who he adores, this lifesaving gift,” says Mary. Liam and Brodie have a very close relationship and the pair enjoy playing video games and having wars over Monopoly. So, when Liam was told by doctors, he had a decision to make. He says it wasn’t much of a choice. “I said ‘I’ll do it, no matter what’.” Liam will have bone marrow removed from his hip, but he will have no lasting affect from the operation. He says Brodie has dealt with the adversity head on and he is excited to help get him on the path back to health. “He had no hesitation,” says Mary. “It’s a big thing and pretty incredible to do it for his brother.” Brodie says it is very brave of Liam to make the sacrifice. “I am extremely proud, it’s a pretty special thing.” Brodie jokes it will be a hard present to top at Christmas
time. Though he remains in high spirits, Brodie still gets very fatigued very quickly and finds himself short of breath. Brodie will be the first transplant patient in the new Christchurch Hospital on November 19. Before that though, Brodie and scores of Nayland staff and students shaved their heads in solidarity with Brodie and managed to raise $21,000 for Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand. He says the amount of support he has received means the world. After finishing fourth in the U18 section of the 2020 Coast2Coast, Brodie is now setting his sights on returning for the 2022 race. “We’ve always joked about Brodie being one in a million and it turns out he really is,” says Mary.

Santa Parade saved by local supporters Kate Russell Reporter
kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Santa will be coming to town this year after all. A privately-organised parade will happen on 13 December at 1pm after Nelson City Council decided to cancel their annual event. Last month the council announced that it would be too risky to plan a big parade in case
Covid-19 alert levels were to change. Instead, it is holding a series of smaller events. However, Murray Leaning, the usual MC for the parade, has stepped in to organise his own event with The Hits radio station after he was inundated with “hundreds of calls and emails” from disappointed locals. “Richmond, Motueka and even Auckland are having their parades. Kids always look forward it and I think we’ve lost
sight of that over the last couple of years.” Co-organiser Hayden Rose of The Hits is a big fan of Christmas and says the season wouldn’t be the same without the parade. “There was a gap that the council and previous organisers had left, and it was just the right thing to do, we had to do it.” Hayden says the annual parade has always been a popular event in Nelson, and in the wake of Covid-19, people are yearning
for something like this. “It just gives the kids a little bit of normality.” He says people can expect this year’s parade to be shorter, sharper and more spectacular. “It is going to be similar with a line-up of floats but it’s going to be tight and last year there were five-minute gaps between floats which wasn’t good for anyone.” He says it will be the perfect entrance into the holiday season. Mitre 10 Mega will be providing
trucks, Asphalt and General will handle the traffic management and cover the street closure costs and Event Audio will provide discounted PA services. The parade will travel down Trafalgar St, from Hardy St to the Hathaway Carpark. All entries will be judged this year with prizes for the best float, best business float and people's choice. To enter a float or volunteer, go to www.nelsonsantaparade.co.nz
Victory Primary School students were presented with a certificate from the Nelson Arts Festival team last Thursday for the masks they made for this year’s event. With the Mask Parade being cancelled, the children’s creations are instead on display in city shop windows. Teacher Lynda Duncan says the senior students made their masks based on their cultural heritage. “They collected and collated their research using Google Sheets, made their own patterns and experimented with different materials.” A rich diversity of cultures was on display from Colombia, Myanmar, Cambodia, Nepal, Croatia, and Egypt. Here students Alma Atalah Armstrong, 8, of Spanish and Chilean heritage, and Juniper Nevin, 9, who has German heritage, show off their masks. Photo: Kate Russell.

Cashing in on a taste of the street Charles Anderson Editor
charles@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Between the two of them, Ben and Bridget Smith have 50 years’ experience running and cooking in some of the best restaurants around. But it is only three weeks ago, when they opened Street Food on Washington Rd, that they finally did it for themselves. “We have built and launched businesses for other people but
now this is our own,” says Ben. “It’s really, really cool.” And now they are one of 32 local shops in Nelson who are getting behind ‘Cash for Christmas’ which gives people the chance to win hundreds of dollars in vouchers every week and also puts them in the draw for a grand prize of $5000 cash. All you have to do is enter your details wherever you see the ‘Cash for Christmas’ entry box. Ben and Bridget and their three
children came down from Auckland last year after years working at acclaimed chef, Simon Gault’s Euro, and before that in London and France. They had visions of opening a heritage restaurant in Wakefield, where they currently live, but when lockdown hit they adjusted their plans. “We were looking for an opportunity to pop up and then this was it,” says Ben. “We came up with the idea of doing high end food for a fair price. We make
all our own breads and dressings and like to offer something for everyone around here.” That means they do a little bit of everything from around the world. As long as it’s street food, then it could be on the menu. They do jerk chicken from Jamaica, a Korean hotdog, quesadilla, Indian bhaji burgers and everything in between. Such was the demand for their eggs benedict roll that they have now expanded to do breakfasts, too.
“Fine dining is shrinking fast and the bottom end of the market is growing but there is a place in the middle there, which is what we want to do. I wanted to come up with a template where I could go anywhere with it.” The couple are planning on moving in closer to town as being local is incredibly important to them. They source as many ingredients as possible from local suppliers and are thrilled to be part of the Washington Valley community.

$50k raised for helicopter trust Staff Reporter The first-ever NBS appeal month for the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter Trust (NMRHT) has raised more than $50,000. The final figure raised for the helicopter rescue service was $50,475.53. NBS’ CEO Tony Cadigan says the engagement from staff as well as the community response was outstanding, and NBS was incredibly proud to be involved and witness the total ticking up first-hand. “I think this shows two things really clearly. One, that our community is extremely generous, and two, that they understand the huge importance of the rescue helicopter service and they want to back that.” The month-long appeal was part of NBS’ ongoing sponsorship of the service, a venture which aims to shine a light on the trust’s critical work and boost public support - a goal Tony says the appeal has contributed to significantly. The NMRHT is only partially governmentfunded for the 500-plus missions they fly every year, making donations absolutely vital to their operations. So far, in 2020, the helicopter has averaged 10 missions per week, at an average cost of $3,500 per mission. In September and October the crew completed 81 missions, adding to the total of 408 lives they have played a critical role in saving this year. NMRHT general manager Paula Muddle

Photo: Supplied. says the donations from the appeal will help the trust to meet crucial costs, including keeping the crew safe on every mission. “Making sure our team is safe during their dangerous work is high priority for us,” she says. “Safety gear for pilots and crew, which includes fire-retardant clothing, allterrain boots, flight suits, personal locator beacons, life vests and night vision goggles, adds up to around $35,000 each for the crew.” Additionally, ensuring that the
highly-skilled team meets regulatory requirements costs about $120,000 a year. “It was so great to have the NBS staff onboard during the appeal, whether it was wearing their customised helicopter polos or liaising with customers, there was a real sense of engagement,” says Paula. “The generosity of NBS’ clients during the month was incredibly humbling, it makes me so proud to live in the community that we do.” Tony says the entire NBS team is proud to continue being a major sponsor of the NMRHT.
Nelson will have a freedom camping ambassador starting this month to help manage issues arising from visitors to the region. Council has received $121,500 from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment’s (MBIE) Responsible Camping Fund to go towards responsible camping initiatives in the city. Running to the end of April, initiatives across freedom camping sites in Nelson will include an ambassador and enforcement programme, additional waste management and recycling services, and a user survey. Sports and recreation committee chair Tim Skinner says the funding will ensure Nelson is able to manage an expected increase in domestic tourism this summer. “Freedom campers are often domestic tourists. By maintaining our ambassador and enforcement programme, and ensuring proper access to waste and recycling facilities, we can help ensure everyone has a positive experience in this vital year for our tourism industry. “I’d like to encourage Kiwis that do come to Nelson to visit our wide range of tourist attractions, hospitality, and local shops and services.” In 2019, council set up a temporary daytime facility for freedom campers at 20 Halifax Street. With less freedom campers expected in 2020 and the Halifax Street site no longer available, the temporary daytime facility will not return this summer.

Waste becomes fashion at Summerset Jacqui Rawson Residents of the region’s Summerset retirement villages recently hit the catwalk in the name of sustainability. Gwytha France and a team made up of other Summerset residents put together an event that utilised their skills and creativity while putting the spotlight on innovative recycling. The event came in two parts, the Op Shop Challenge, and the Waste to Waist Creations Show which showcased eye-catching outfits for their audience of 230 people. “It’s fantastic to see the audience getting so much pleasure out of the event,” says Gwytha. The residents designed and produced the outfits made from numerous different types of objects that were originally destined for landfill. “It creates such an interest, for residents who either work alone or together, sharing skills and having fun,” Gwytha says. Models from Summerset visited various op shops to choose their outfits with the MC for the night sharing which store the outfit came from and their related costs. The second half was the Waste to Waist Creation with the judge, editor of the Summerset Magazine,

Tickets were sold for the event with funds raised following the tradition of providing something for the residents to have and enjoy – this year a sculpture for the entrance way. The rest of the funds going to the Nelson Marlborough Helicopter Rescue and St John along with additional supplies for the Summerset library.

Longstanding GP retires after 38 years Kate Russell Reporter
kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz
After 38 years of being a GP in Nelson, the thing Janice Jolly is going to miss the most is the relationships. The 66-year-old hung up the stethoscope for good last week to spend more time with family. “I’ve got two new grandchildren coming that need a bit of extra help from me, so that was the incentive.” Janice says she is “excited and sad at the same time” to be leaving the profession. “To me, the standout has been the relationships I’ve made with people and hoping and knowing I’ve made a difference in their lives. “Someone last week said that she thinks of me like her mum. She said, ‘you know things about me that nobody else does’.” After growing up in Wellington and then training at Otago University, Janice and her husband Ken came to Nelson in 1979. “We didn’t know the top of the South Island. We came here to see

Photo: Kate Russell. what it was like and didn’t leave.” She did her GP registrar year while Ken worked as a house surgeon at Nelson Hospital. In 1982 they bought their first general practice. “Initially I worked one day a week and saw all the pregnant ladies and delivered the babies, and I kept doing that while I had my own children.”
After about five years Ken became unwell, so Janice started working full time as well as being a mum to four children. She also kept up the obstetrics for 33 years and was the last GP delivering babies in Nelson when she stopped in 2014. She estimates she’s delivered thousands of babies, often working through the night and
then having to go to work the next day to see her other patients. “It was just what I did. I loved it. Many of the babies are big adults now and there are multiple generations of them.” All three of her practices have been on Waimea Rd - the first where the bakery is now. Then 52 Waimea Rd and then number 44 when she teamed up with GP Liz
Scott three years ago. Over the past week she’s been contacted by numerous patients, who have all had memories to share. “Somebody mentioned that I’d saved their child’s life and it was something that I’d forgotten. It’s been nice hearing stories back from people.” Janice says Covid-19 has been the biggest event of her medical career and that much has changed in the profession over the years. “Work is much busier. People have more complex problems. We used to look at an afternoon and go ‘oh great, there’s one kid with a sore ear’ and things could be quick. “Mental health issues are more common and they’re not something you can rush somebody through in 15 minutes.” Even though she says she’ll miss the job, she is “looking forward to the next stage”. She leaves for Australia this week, with her three Melbourne-based children all fighting over who gets to pick her up from the airport. “I’ve really loved being a GP - it’s been my life. But now it’s time to be a grandma.”
Crowded House set to New chief executive for NMIT rock Nelson Staff Reporter New Zealand rock legends Crowded House are coming to Nelson next year as part of a nationwide tour. The tour will see Nelson host the band on March 8 at the Trafalgar Centre. It will feature new music from the band and its founding members Neil Finn and Nick Seymour, along with input from producer and keyboardist Mitchell Froom, guitarist and singer Liam Finn and drummer Elroy Finn. In a statement, Neil Finn said that the band was "thrilled" to be touring the country. "The shows will be a joyous occasion for us, with all the songs from our history that still resonate, some new music to unveil and our home crowds to share all that with… feeling truly blessed." Nelson Mayor Rachel Reese
Staff Reporter
welcomed the Crowded House concert news, saying it was a great opportunity to showcase the city and yet another reason to visit the region this summer. “This is excellent news - and not just because I know all the words to their songs. We have a whole range of international artists in town for Bay Dreams in January, and now we have the iconic Crowded House in March – throw in our world-class wine, beer, hospitality, and artisan food and crafts, and there’s really only one place to be this summer, and that’s right here in our Smart Little City.” After a challenging year for the live entertainment industry, promoter Live Nation is thrilled to be able to confirm that New Zealand will play host to the internationally revered band on a ten-date national tour throughout March 2021.
Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology (NMIT) has announced that Wayne Jackson has been appointed chief executive of NMIT. Wayne is currently the institute’s interim chief executive, a role he has held since early September when previous chief executive, Liam Sloan departed. Chair of NMIT, Daryl Wehner, says that Jackson has delivered strong leadership in his role as interim chief executive during a time of significant disruption to the sector and the country. “Wayne has developed a comprehensive understanding of our operations and an excellent rapport with the team at NMIT. It was a combination of these strengths and Wayne’s corporate skill base that contributed to the

The board is confident in Wayne’s leadership skills and sector experience to manage NMIT into a successful future”. Wayne has been appointed as a fixed term position through to December 2022.
“As the tertiary vocational sector shifts to a more commercial footing the Board recognised the importance of having a chief executive with a blend of academic and commercial expertise. Wayne delivers on that combination,” says Daryl. Wayne Jackson is a former chief executive officer of Grant Thornton NZ and was a partner with Ernst and Young NZ for 19 years and a director of its business advisory practice. He has also held several CEO roles and directorships in New Zealand. Prior to his current appointment, Jackson was acting chief executive at NorthTec, a role that contributed to his farreaching sector knowledge and understanding of the Government’s future pathway regarding ongoing vocational sector reform.

“When we decided to sell our home after 27 years, we met with Penny who took us on a very successful journey, keeping us informed about veiwings without too much intrusion on our personal lives. Her market knowledge is amazing; we were kept informed on all aspects of the task she had taken on our behalf. Penny was professional in all matters and certainly exceeded our expectations, and would recommend her to anyone wanting to sell their property.” “Penelope went out her way to provide a stress-free and relaxing experience. She arranged for the photographer and listing promptly and
proceeded to handle the numerous enquiries with ease. Penelope went on to get the best price for our sale. We were kept up-to-date with the process at all times. She has a very pleasant personality and makes you feel at ease. We would recommend Penelope to anyone wishing to sell their house.” “We decided to use Pen to sell our house based on the experience we had buying a property via her services. While the vendor ultimately pays the bill, Pen legitimately wants an outcome that suits both parties and walks that tightrope like the experienced pro she is. We particularly enjoyed her no BS style of communication which helped ensure there were no surprises which can often surface if you are being oversold in order to get a listing. Pen understands the Nelson market; she suggests the bestselling strategy based on the particular property and where the supply/ demand ratio happens to be at any phase of the cycle. We were one of eight sales she knocked over within a 6-week period, yet calls were always returned in a timely manner and nothing was a problem. Enjoyed our interactions with Pen but hopefully we won’t have to use her again, as she found us what we wanted, and we have no intention of leaving for quite some time!” Give Penelope a call today on 027 359 4558 or email penelope. rollston@tallpoppy.co.nz for a free appraisal or assessment on your property.

Your Voice Dear Sir, The NCC is behaving like a ‘municipal rest home for aged councillors’. Things important to children are being abolished - the Modellers Pond, The Mask Parade, The Santa Parade - now the Founders steam train. Yes, Nelson may have ‘lost the plot’ but Santa will still be going down Queen St, Richmond. Anton Hyman Leanne meets her lifesavers after heart attack: So much admiration for the work of my St John colleagues. Katrina and Max, so proud of you both, and to the others responding. Leanne, I have tingles down my spine, tears in my eyes and a happy heart - just wow. So happy they saved you. Heather Kelling Wow. Lucky you recognised what that chest pain was, Leanne. I recognised mine. Rang 111. Three stents. Back on track. Murray Brown Mum, you're a fighter. I love you and I’m so happy you made it. Juanita Perrin-Tunnicliff Awesome - well done team and congratulations on a new lease on life, Leanne. Alli Jackson Village green the heart of Victory: Hang tight Victory. You are right. Those people are the old face, and the new wave is coming and we all need to get

Fact: In 2004, the Environment Court ruled against the Southern Link, stating the project should be cancelled as it was "fundamentally the wrong place to put a State Highway" due to air quality issues and proximity to schools. Good luck overturning that ruling. Andrea Warn I like the old railway reserve as a walking or bike way, and it was the quickest route to get to school when my father and his siblings attended Victory. I have so many fond memories playing at Victory when I would stay with my grandmother. NZTA should take the inland route off the table, and the other options, and so should NCC. Go back to the drawing board and start again. Kahurangi Hippolite I think those that think that Victory Square is underutilised need to go and spend some actual quality time there. I don't live there but every single time I drive past it is being used. Kids playing, sports, socialising. All extremely important parts of being a community. So, what if sometimes no one is there? The fact that it is there, without a loud and unnecessary highway next to it, provides a place for community. We don't need more roads. We need to walk, bike, and slow down, and hang out in places like the square to do this. Merophy Hyslop Mary’s 100 years of yarns: I’ve been lucky enough to have this amazing lady as an adopted grandparent for my whole life. She is still as sharp as
Nayland College seeks feedback on enrolment zone: You can’t zone a school before providing an alternative co-ed school for Nelson central, otherwise you are removing a basic human right to be educated in a co-ed environment. If the zoning goes ahead, until an alternative is built for Nelson central zoning needs to include the area right out to Atawhai. Swantje Fitzgerald BATTLE OF THE BOOKWORMS: Young literary lovers descended on Broadgreen Intermediate last Thursday to test their knowledge on all things books, from Harry Potter to Humpty Dumpty. Founded and hosted by New Zealand quizmaster Wayne Mills, scores of young readers, some dressed as their favourite characters, answered a range of questions with vouchers, books and bragging rights all on the line. Broadgreen Intermediate took out first place, pipping Waimea Intermediate in second and St Joseph's Catholic School who came in third. Clifton Terrace School had the highest-scoring year 5-6 team. The Kids' Lit Quiz is an annual literature quiz for students aged 10 - 13 years with quizzes held in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Indonesia, New Zealand, Nigeria, Singapore, South Africa, Thailand and the USA. The winning team from each heat competes in a national final, with national champions competing in the world final. Photo: Jonty Dine ever at 100 years old. Nicky Scoltock Happy birthday.

If we don't have zones, we will end up having 40 kids in a class until more building is completed. The zone is necessary in some cases and is in response to Nayland being an excellent school of choice for so many. It's not Nayland's choice, but the Ministry's. Nayland is probably going to have 1500 students next year - its absolute limit. Fran Beullens
Nelson healthy homes celebrated: This scheme is awesome and import. It made a huge difference to the health of my family. My daughter had suffered from many ear infections as a little tot and had three sets of grommets. A fully insulated home made a huge difference to our health and my ability to work more and take less sick leave. Now a few years later and change in circumstance, I'm pleased as a landlord to know that what was my family home is healthy for my tenants. Keep it going. Thank you for getting it underway. We're very grateful. Amanda Cuff

But you’ll be in hot water (sorry), if you even think of giving it as a present. On the other hand, you could always just get it because you need a new washing machine.

More protection for marine reserves Staff Reporter
COLOURING COMP WINNERS: The winners of the Nelson Weekly school holiday colouring competition have been named with the lucky five scoring themselves a double movie pass. The competition saw dozens of entries from across Nelson but resulted in Lexie McLean, Emerald Rose Gosling Fleming, Elliot Prentice, Eva Challenger along with Isla and William Eddy all coming away with their tickets to State Cinemas.

The Department of Conservation is stepping up its protection of marine life with a new reserve ranger and a surveillance camera monitoring Hororangi Marine Reserve. It says these measures will help deter and detect any illegal fishing in Horoirangi Marine Reserve, between Glenduan and Cable Bay, and Tonga Island Marine Reserve off Abel Tasman National Park. The marine reserve ranger’s role also includes increasing education about the marine reserves and overseeing scientific monitoring of them. Signs are being erected at Nelson Marina, Glenduan and Cable Bay to remind people there is a camera keeping watch on Horoirangi Marine Reserve and that fishing is not allowed inside it. DOC Motueka operations manager Chris Golding hopes the cameras and signs will deter illegal activity in the area. “The camera on Horoirangi Marine Reserve will increase our ability to identify offenders and gather evidence when illegal activity occurs. “Horoirangi and Tonga Island marine reserves are treasures of marine life. No taking of marine life is allowed in marine reserves and this enables the marine ecosystems to return to a more natural state and marine species within them to become more abundant.” Cameras have worked to deter illegal activity in Kāpiti Marine Reserve. Reports of suspected illegal fishing declined once a camera was installed in 2018, having peaked the year before. Anyone who breaks the rules in marine reserves and other conservation rule breaches will face fines up to the amount of $800 depending on the offence. “We appreciate the help we get from the public in reporting sightings of people illegally fishing within the reserves and we ask them to still call us on 0800 DOCHOT/0800 36 24 68 if they see illegal activity,” says Chris.

What do you love most about Nelson? The people and proximity to what you like doing!
What do you love most about Nelson? The amazing places to see and do. The scenery in Nelson and surrounding areas are world class. We don't have to go far to find amazing views.
What do you love most about Nelson? Seamus – Diversity of people and recreational opportunities. Nikki – The beauty, the weather, the awesome restaurants and a great place for families
What do you love most about Nelson? Rebecca - bushwalks, beaches, and it’s a great place to bring up kids. Rosetta – bushwalks, climate and slower pace of life.
Where did the inspiration for your business come from? After years working in a corporate real estate model we wanted to offer a more personal service that didn’t need to charge huge fees to cover unnecessary overheads. We didn’t want to treat people as a transaction. With access to trademe and other resources we knew we could reach the same buyers but could offer a much fairer fee. Some tell us we do a lot more for less but we are happy with our rates so it’s a win/win which we love.
What are three words that best describe you? Rebecca - tenacious, passionate, strong. Rosetta - funny, empathetic, resilient.
What do you enjoy most about what you do? We both love helping guide people through what is generally a really stressful time. We try and make it as easy as possible on our clients and when issues arise we always aim to find a solution. Our clients are treated like family and that matters to us and them.
What do you enjoy most about what you do? Knowing all our regulars by name (or by coffee). There is nothing better than a busy day when the cafe is buzzing.
What are three words that best describe you? Family, Integrity, Knowledgeable. Where did the inspiration for your business come from? Poorly insulated and damp homes = poor health. What do you enjoy most about what you do? Changing lives every day by making buildings better. What three people would you like to have a coffee with and why? Good craft beer would be better! Johny O’Donnell, Bill Dahlberg and Stu Reid! Good buggers. What is something about you that people might not know? I am younger than I look!
What are three words that best describe you? Down to Earth Where did the inspiration for your business come from? Working full time for other accounting & bookkeeping firms, and I wanted to have a more personable relationship with the people I did work for. What do you enjoy most about what you do? The ability to truly help people and make systems and processes easier and quicker for businesses. I love to keep things simple for clients so they can understand and feel less overwhelmed with all the technical and tax jargon.
What is next on your wish list? Healthy homes for everyone in NZ.
What three people would you like to have a coffee with and why? Sandra Bullock because she is so influential, beautiful and classy. Dalai Lama but probably tea not coffee. The reason because he is so wise, calm, visionary, educational and influential in a lot of political and humanitarian areas. John Kirwin to discuss mental health issues, views and ideas on this area and discuss how the stigma has been in his personal experience and how he handles it.
If you were given one million dollars what would you do with it? Spend a little, save a little and help the most in need to improve living conditions.
What is something about you that people might not know? My first full time job was in a sewing factory here in Nelson - Martha Washington Manufacturing Company Ltd
WE MAKE HOMES HEALTHIER
ACCOUNTING & BOOKKEEPING YOU CAN COUNT ON
Where did the inspiration for your business come from? To create a real sense of community where people can relax and enjoy wholesome food over a business meeting or a catch up with friends.
What three people would you like to have a coffee with and why? We actually think everyone has something to say and a story worth listening to. Ordinary people are fascinating.
What three people would you like to have a coffee with and why? Rebecca - Bill Murray - absolute legend. Ricky Gervais - comedy gold. Colin from MKR - good chef and very cute! Rosetta - Brad Pitt - who wouldn’t? Jamie Oliver - I love his bit of this, bit of that! My grandparents - I would've loved to hear their stories.
What is something about you that people might not know? Seamus – I was in the Infantry Territorials of the NZ Army Nikki – Public speaking makes me extremely anxious, I'd like to work on that!
What has been your biggest achievement? A lifelong dream finally came true by turning the negative of Covid into a positive of Little Engine Eatery.

Where did the inspiration for your business come from? While visiting a Christchurch trampoline park we came away wanting to do something similar in Nelson for the Youth of Nelson. So that they could have a fun, healthy place to come and hang out and get some exercise, also to improve their confidence and fitness. We also wanted a fun place for families to come and have a great time together and to give back to the community that had supported us when our kids were young. What do you enjoy most about what you do? Seeing kids have a great time and getting exercise and away from their screens.

Little shop of horrors set to devour Nelson Kate Russell Reporter

It may be a decade in the making, but Little Shop of Horrors is finally coming to Nelson – with a little help from a world in flux. With no international travel, an impressive line-up of locals has become available to put on the Broadway sci-fi smash musical at the Nelson Musical Theatre later this month. “We wouldn’t be able to do this show if it wasn’t for Covid-19,” says director Jane Baken. “Robbie Burns [president of Nelson Musical Theatre] and I have talked about doing it for ten years, but it’s never worked out with my travel between New Zealand and Australia.” Jane says it’s also meant they’ve been able to attract the talents of some incredible local professional performers. Headlining the show is Laura Irish, who was meant to be in
Los Angeles progressing her performance career, and former Nelsonian of the Year, Dan Allan, who was meant to be in another show that was cancelled. It will also be Dan’s last show in Nelson before he moves to Christchurch. “Having performers of this calibre putting on a show like this will be a real privilege for Nelson audiences,” Jane says. Little Shop of Horrors has devoured the hearts of theatre goers for over 30 years, becoming one of the world’s most popular shows. The theatre will be transformed into a run-down flower shop in the cabaret-style show that will see the audience at tables enjoying platters and drinks. The story follows floral assistant Seymour Krelborn who stumbles across a new breed of plant he names ‘Audrey II’ after his co-worker crush. The plant promises him unending fame and fortune as long as he keeps
feeding it blood. “We are on a mission to create a spectacle and the most amazing aspect of the show is the plant, being a very large puppet, which is fully body-operated,” says Jane. “There are also a number of other special technical moments - we’ve added a number of elements that create a few surprises.” The cast of nine also features Charles Anderson playing multiple characters, including the dentist. “He’s just the man of many faces, playing every other minor role - it’s a bit of fun for him,” Jane says. “We have a really unique bunch of people who have come together to put on something special.” Little Shop of Horrors runs for three weekends from 19 November to 5 December.

Cohen’s music comes to life at Theatre Royal Kate Russell Reporter

Legendary singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen may have passed on, but his spirit lives on in tribute band Imperfect Offering which is performing at the Theatre Royal next week. This will be the Auckland-based ensemble's first time playing in the Top of the South. Vocalist Clare Martin says on a recent trip to Nelson she visited the Theatre Royal and “loved it” which sparked the idea of doing a show here.
“I thought, ‘I’ve got to bring the band here, I insisted to them’.” The nine-piece group includes five vocalists and a violin, and they will be taking the audience on a journey from Cohen's first album in 1967 to his last in 2016 - released just two weeks before his death. Clare says people are connecting to Cohen’s music now more than ever, with many experiencing a “mini crisis” during the Covid-19 lockdown. “Despite a year plagued with cancellations and lockdowns, we are determined to get the entire band to Nelson to offer
the music of Leonard Cohen. He serves us when we are having troubled times - he deals with the hard subjects.” From his Jewish upbringing in Montreal, through to Greek Island life and New York’s hang-out Chelsea Hotel, the band will present the best songs from Cohen’s journey including ‘Hallelujah’, ‘Suzanne’, ‘Chelsea Hotel’, ‘The Future’ and 'Bird on the Wire'. The Music of Leonard Cohen - A Journey: 1967 to 2016 is on at the Theatre Royal on Friday, 13 November. For bookings go to www.eventfinda.co.nz

Chai Pyle has never performed on stage, but the premiere of his oneman show has been labelled “brave and outstanding” by those who attended. Chai’s play ‘Real’ tells the story of one man’s inner struggle to create a play while wrestling with self-doubt, fear and purpose, which manifest through four different characters, all played by Chai. “It’s a real rollercoaster, a proper drama it’s got it all; strongly emotional pieces, absolute ridicule and humour and good lessons,” says Chai. Chai says the different characters
take a lot of energy to bring on to stage, which has been a big challenge, but two months of rehearsing has paid off. One such character is Murmon who is the doubting one who tries every tactic to derail the ‘stupendous idea’ of being on stage. “He is full of self-doubt and distraction and reasons from the past of why we should not create a play, and he’s got really good reasons.” Chai says everyone will relate to the themes in the show and at the end of the day he hopes to inspire people to follow their own gut feeling. ‘Real’ will show once at the Suter Theatre this Saturday, 8pm. Tickets are $20 and are available from www. eventbrite.co.nz

Half marathon takes 40 years in stride SPORTS Cricket: Cricketers continue to feel the frustration of the weather with a second weekend washed out on Saturday. Persistent rain saw all three games abandoned with Stoke maintaining its spot on top of the 100-over competition. This weekend the defending champions take on ACOB while Wakatu will meet Wanderers at Victory Square and Waimea Toi Toi United will host Nelson College at Jubilee Park.
Jonty Dine Reporter

The Nelson Half Marathon celebrated its 40th anniversary in style on Sunday with more than 800 runners and walkers taking part in the always popular annual event. With the youngest competitor in a pram and the oldest in his mideighties, there was a diverse field of athletes on show. Kicking off at Suburbs clubrooms at Saxton Field, both runners and walkers had course options of the 21.1km half marathon down to a gentle 2.5km fun run. Glenn Lilley was the first to cross the finish in a time of 1:19:35, just under 30 seconds ahead of his nearest rival Mike Anderson. In the women’s half marathon, Natalie Price managed to pip Paula Canning by just four seconds in a tight finish. Winners were given speciallydesigned trophies created by artist Mike Ward, who was also running the event. Organiser Stuart Hague says it was an exciting conclusion as the women battles till the end. “We all had a good view of them on the embankment, they were both working hard.” Stuart says the course has changed a number of times over its 40 years, the most famous being the Rocks Rd course, but for the past few years they have found a home at Saxton. “It’s a great venue.” He says it was a brilliant occasion with a field of over 800 for all four events. “We were wrapped, that’s only down by about 50 from last year which was to be expected, just
Inline Hockey: Labour Weekend saw Inline Hockey teams from Nelson, Christchurch and Levin competing again in a friendly tournament at Tahunanui Skating Rink. Over the three days 29 games were played from the Under 10-grade through to the Senior A and B grades. The event attracted a wide range of ages, including a 4-year-old player from Christchurch. Nelson had two teams entered in the Senior A grade, with Senior Whalers Blue team having a win against the Levin Thunder and two losses to the Christchurch Lions. The Senior Whalers White team had two wins, one loss and a draw. Overall top goal scorer in the Senior As was James Burn, recording 11 goals as well as 11 assists. Goalie Dan Wellwood played in 12 games and took 288 shots on goal during the competition.

Stuart says all signs point to the marathon returning bigger and better next year. Though he doubts he will be around, Stuart is confident the event will one day celebrate its 100th anniversary. “It was one of the best we have had.”

Josh brewing up a batting masterclass in Stoke Locally Owned and Operated
Jonty Dine As a young fast bowler Josh Smith showed plenty of promise, clocking in speeds around 140kmh. The 29-year-old’s career was curtailed though when a bout of arthritis in his shoulder saw him undergo multiple surgeries. This, of course, had an undesired effect on the Australian-born cricketer’s ability to bowl pace. “I’d be lucky to reach 110kmh now,” he says. However, Josh has managed to reinvent himself as a top order batsman and wicketkeeper as he returned to the field this season for the first time in two years. “I have had to re-evaluate my cricket over the last few years because of injuries, and batting is now my forte.” He says he is relishing being back in action. “Since my dad first put a bat in my hand at five, cricket has been my life, so to be away from the game for two and a half years gives you

From Australia to Holland, England to New Zealand, Josh’s latest stop has seen him link up with the champion Stoke/ Nayland side. Josh says he always wanted to live in New Zealand and, when an

opportunity came up to work as a brewer at McCashins, he made the move. It wasn’t long before word of his cricketing talents got out. “A bloke at work caught wind I played a bit of cricket so passed my name onto Hodo (Brendan Hodgson), a few beers later and, sure enough,I turned up to training the next week. It was a match made in heaven.”
Growing up as an opening inswing bowler representing Australia in indoor cricket, Josh suffered his first shoulder dislocation at 19. “After that I got back and was bowling some good speeds, but just general wear and tear became multiple dislocations and more surgery.” Though his focus has shifted to the bat, he hasn’t ruled out a
return to the bowling crease. “Once a fast bowler you always want to be able to go out there and bowl fast. I am slowly making my way back.” Stoke/Nayland has made a dominant start to its 110-over campaign, winning both games comfortably while its other two fixtures were washed out. “When you’re winning cricket it’s always good fun and the boys have been great.” Josh scored 34 and 14 in his first two innings as Stoke chased modest totals. “I’m getting some time in the middle and feeling confident in my game again and I know a good score is around the corner.” Having won a top tier championship in England, Josh says his goal is to repay the opportunity given to him with another title. “Stoke/Nayland has a great history of success and I want to be part of that, they have put a lot of time and effort into me and I want to reward them.”

Spending an afternoon on the links for charity Jonty Dine Some of the swings may not be pretty, but it is supporting one of the region’s most treasured services that drives the Summit/Nelson Weekly/NBS Charity Golf Tournament. The fourth annual event pits local businesspeople against each other on the course while raising funds for the Nelson Tasman Rescue Helicopter
Trust (NTRH). General manager Paula Muddle says this is the third time they have tried to stage the tournament in 2020. “We have been waiting quite a while, but finally we get to do it.” Paula says the NTRH is putting a huge effort into the event which raises thousands of dollars for the cause. “It is the first Friday of
December, time to take an afternoon off and have some fun on the course.” Businesses from throughout the region will take part and will have the option of a serious round or just a bit of a hit and giggle. However, there will be some quality golfers on display in the form of resident pro Glyn Delaney from Summit. The day will pit 33 teams of
four in Ambrose rules and will conclude with an auction with several prized items up for grabs, including a glove signed by none other than former US president Bill Clinton. Paula says teams, sponsors and auction items are still being sought. To get involved with the December 4 event contact paula@helirescue.co.nz
Nelson's Shannon McIlroy could be forgiven for having better touch with his paintbrush than his bowls of late. The 33-year-old painter and decorator by trade, and national bowls representative, won his fifth North East Valley 10.000 event in Dunedin last week, while also defending his title from 2019. He won his first North East Valley title as a 19-year-old in 2006. He also won in 2009 and 2012. Shannon beat Canterbury’s Andrew Kelly 21-17 in the final “In some ways, it was probably harder than the nationals, because there was nowhere to hide.” Shannon says family time has been a focus during the Coronavirus pandemic as bowls just were not possible. “There was a stint of six months there where I didn’t pick up a bowl,” he says. “I have never had such a long time away from the game in my career, even as a teenager I played more regularly than that.” Shannon says the North East Valley tournament always holds a special place in his heart. “It’s always a challenging tournament and I know some of the younger guys are gunning to take me down - just like I had the same mentality when I first won the event.” Shannon says he understands, as an international player, he has “a target on my back” but he is eager to share his knowledge with the emerging players. Shannon says work and family commitments are always a priority, but he believes he has many years left as an international player. “I still feel like one of the young guys, and if I continue to have the support of my wife and family then I’ll keep going for as long as I can.”

Mako maul Lions in Porirua battle Jonty Dine and Peter Jones It was never going to be champagne rugby in challenging conditions at Jerry Collins Stadium but the Mako showed plenty of character to grind out an 19-3 win over Wellington on Saturday afternoon. In a replay of the 2020 premiership final, Tasman rallied in the rain with impressive performances from Sione Havili and veteran halves Finlay Christie and Mitch Hunt.
The Tasman forward pack answered their doubters in the best possible fashion after being dominated up front during the side’s only losses this season, to North Harbour and Auckland. Hunt opened the scoring with a well-judged, long-range penalty as a thunderous wind blew across the park. The Mako would score the only try in the first half as Havili was rewarded for his top performance on the back of a surging
lineout maul. Hunt would nail his second penalty right on the siren as the visitors took an 11-0 lead after a stop start first 40 minutes. It took 27 minutes for points in the second half as Jackson Garden-Bachop finally put Wellington on the scoreboard to offer its fans a glimmer of hope. The Mako would strike back immediately, however, through another powerful maul, Te Ahiwaru Crikidaveta being the
beneficiary on that occasion. Hunt would conclude his clinical kicking display with his third penalty as the Mako picked up its sixth win of the season. Mako co-head coach Andrew Goodman was “stoked” by his side’s efforts, especially the forward display. “That was an important win for our season really.” Goodman also praised the input of experienced squad members Ethan Blackadder and the
returning Quin Strange. “Even when they have been unable to take the field, they have been massive for us this year with all the work they have done with the lads, off the field.” The Mako will meet Canterbury in Blenheim next Saturday, kick off 7.05pm. Scorers: Tasman (Havili, Crikidaveta tries, Hunt 2 pens) Wellington 3 (Garden-Bachop pens)

CrossFit Nelson owner Quinn Longman owner says after everything that has gone on in 2020, the weekend was a bit of a chance to have a fun Top of the South competition. He says the sport continues to grow in popularity. “People can generally find CrossFit scary because they aren’t fit but we scale it to your capability, It’s a lot of fun and never the same.” The event saw five gyms from across the Top of the South take part in several intense fitness challenges.

Alex comes home with the title Jonty Dine Reporter
jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Just moments before his IKBF title fight on Friday night, Alex Tzinavos went to the toilet where he awkwardly ran into his opponent. Alex greeted him but was met with silence, a nervous sweaty demeanor, and a dropped head. This exchange indicated Alex was already in his opponent’s head, and just one minute into the first round Grant Toa Toa was tapping to a guillotine choke. Though he was hoping for a war, Alex sustained no serious damage as he quickly submitted the 41-year-old from Wellington to claim the 74kg South Island MMA title.
“He shot in for a single leg, but I got him in the choke and once I got him against the cage, I just kept squeezing.” The pair were no strangers to each other, having met on three previous occasions in grappling competitions, with Alex now holding a 3-1 record. Alex says he started slowly in Christchurch, before throwing a few jabs followed by a head kick. “He didn’t answer with anything. I think he was worried about my stand up, so he went for a takedown.” ‘Big Daddy’ says it took a while for his accomplishment to set in. “It wasn’t until they handed me the belt I was like ‘oh yeah, I get a title.’” Despite undergoing a gruelling
Locally Owned and Operated
8kg weight cut in just two weeks, Alex says he still had plenty in the tank following the stoppage. “I felt really good and a lot lighter on my feet.” However, going forward he plans to go back up to welterweight, which he got underway as his Maui Muay Thai teammates celebrated with ‘a good feed’ of Turkish following the fight. His next step is likely to be a pro fight in the XFC as he chases his dream to one day sign for the world’s biggest MMA promotion, the UFC. The 27-year-old father of three has always had a fascination with martial arts, with his father being a member of the South African SWAT team.
