Building booms welcome new entrants Kate Russell
It’s back to school this week for Nelson primary schools, and although rolls are looking steady heading into the new decade, building projects are taking off. From classroom upgrades and paint jobs to major rebuilds - a government cash injection
in December has so far been put to good use. All state primary schools received between $50,000 and $400,000 (depending on their roll size) in the investment package for school-led property upgrade projects, which schools need to spend within two years.

Principal of Tahunanui School Barbabra Bowen says it’s been a good opportunity to give the school a “freshen up” with two new classrooms currently being upgraded. “We’ve got new shades on the pool area and lots of little things like that which have been a long time coming. “We’re excited about the year ahead. Our roll is stable at just over 300, no ups and downs with the same number of enrolments coming in.” Rob Wemyss, principal at Clifton Terrace School is also reporting a steady roll, as well as some exciting property developments. “Over the holidays we have been involved with a very funky painting upgrade on the exterior of the school. No more institutional looking buildings
on The Terrace anymore,” he says. “We also have some large infrastructure projects in the planning stage and hope to start turning earth by later 2020.” Rob says they also hope to complete a fencing project by the end of term. Over at Victory School, a new walkway into the school is under construction, a new pellet burning boiler will go in before winter and a mountain bike track in also being established. Auckland Point School is currently building a high dependency unit and have refurbished their swimming pool - but according to principal Sonya Hockley, there is something bigger in the pipeline. “Our year is shaping up to be a very exciting one as we begin the planning for a major rebuild of our school within the next two to three years.”

The Minister of Education announced $7.5m for Auckland Point School last December on top of the $83,160 they received as part of the Government investment package. “As you can imagine this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and we will be working on a visioning and planning document entitled an ‘Education Brief ’ that is the forerunner to any design or build work.” Meanwhile, Sonya says their roll is looking steady for 2020. “We ended 2019 with 130 students and our starting roll is beginning to shape up to be around 115. “We are looking forward to welcoming all of our students and whanau to the new school year”. Enner Glynn School principal Isaac Day said the school was currently undertaking accessibility upgrades along with
weather tightness in the library, and also its five to 10 year building plan going on. That was separate to the extra $240,000 from the Government, which the board was deciding on how to spend.

Retirement village part of $750m expansion Staff Reporter The earthworks visible from Waimea Rd will now be a common site for most Nelsonians. It is the basis of a $190m Coastal View Lifestyle Village in the Port Hills as part of a $750m growth strategy undertaken by Christchurch-headquartered Qestral Corporation. Ryman Healthcare cofounder and Qestral executive chairman, John Ryder, said it took four years to create a level building platform for the new retirement village. “The site necessitated the shifting of 600,000 cubed metres of soil, equivalent to about 70,000 standard dump truck loads. Nelson city is surrounded by hills and we had to do something radical to provide outstanding views and also be between the city and the beach. “We’re developing on a very difficult block of land in the Tahunanui Hills in a valley,” he said of the site on Princes Dr, home to Nelson’s lookout. The site is at the southern or Britannia Heights end of
Princes Dr. Qestral started with 8ha but bought more land part-way through, expanding the site to 12ha. A connection will be formed to one of Nelson’s major arterial roads, Waimea Rd, via a new extension to Princes Dr. Construction of the single-level 60-unit rest home and hospital has begun and 200 residences will be built once consent is
granted. In 2017, the project was being described as a $125m scheme: today’s $190m scheme is the result of expanding the scope of works from around 120 residences originally. The property overlooks Tasman Bay and Tahunanui Beach, is 1.2km from Nelson Hospital
and Nelson College and 3.2km from the centre of town. As one of the founders of New Zealand’s largest listed retirement business, Ryder contributed the “Ry” in Ryman and Kevin Hickman contributed the “man”. Ryder appeared on last year’s NBR Rich List with an estimated fortune of $100m. Last August, Qestral announced it had bought land for a $160m retirement village at Halswell in Christchurch, adding to projects in Northland, Hamilton, Nelson and Burwood. Ryder said last year that villages with a projected end value of $750m would be built. Qestral plans more than 1000 villas and 450 apartment and care units. The Nelson project has been contentious due to the need to build a new road down from Princes Dr to connect to Waimea Rd. This will result in new traffic lights near Beatson Rd and an underpass for the Railway Reserve. The Nelson City Council says motorists can expect that part of the project to take five months. – With NZ Herald

Fire risk closes Nelson reserves Staff Reporter
Reserves across Nelson city have been closed following a continued spell of hot and dry weather. Council has closed access to the following reserves until further notice: Grampians Reserve, Sir Stanley Whitehead Reserve, Marsden Valley Reserve, Maitai Water Reserve, Brook Conservation Reserve and Roding Water Reserve. A council statement says they made the decision to close reserves after taking advice from Fire and Emergency New Zealand and monitoring the Build Up Index (BUI), which is The top of Trafalgar Street came alive over the weekend with buskers from all over the world arriving to entertain the masses. Hundreds flocked to the Buskers Festival to witness hilarious, weird, wacky, eyeopening acts in the heart of the city. Photo: Jonty Dine.
an indicator of the difficulty in suppressing a fire that has started. The BUI is now well passed 80, the level at which FENZ advises reserves should be closed. The public is asked to please stay out of these areas for your own safety. The closures will also affect access to the Coppermine Trail and the Maungatapu Track. The key risk is around the safety of people being caught in the reserves should a fire break out. With the dry conditions, prevailing winds, slope and nature of the vegetation, a fire would spread uphill extremely quickly, making evacuation difficult. People visiting larger reserves
that remain open (e.g. Botanical Hill, Tantragee Reserve/Codgers Trails) are strongly advised to stay in the lower areas for ease of evacuation in the case of a fire. Avoiding the reserves in high fire risk times such as mid-afternoon when conditions are warmest is also recommended. The statement says the situation will be assessed weekly and further decisions on closures or reopening will be made in consultation with FENZ and with public safety as council's top priority. Reserves are reopened when FENZ advises that risk factors have sufficiently decreased. Decisions are assessed on a weekly basis.

The Arnoux’s beaked whales in the Haven. Photo: Cawthron Institute.
Rare whales delight onlookers Staff Reporter They may have only poked themselves above the surface of the Haven’s water but a pod of rare Arnoux’s beaked whales made a scene last week. The marine mammals showed up at around 8am on Friday and hung around the waters between Haulashore Island and Rocks Rd for several hours. A reporter at the scene said many people had stopped to watch them, however, they weren’t putting on too much of a show. A group of sailors also planned to head out to see if they could ride alongside them.
Cawthron scientists including Marine Mammal expert Simon Childerhouse and the Department of Conservation spent time in the water collecting photos, behavioural observations and acoustic recordings of the whales. Arnoux’s beaked whales are a gregarious species generally found in groups of 6-10, but larger groups of 80 individuals have been recorded. They are one of the largest members of the family Ziphiidae ranging from 8m to 12m in length. They have long, tubular bodies and blunt or rounded flippers. New Zealand waters hold the world’s highest number of beaked whale species.
How NMIT opens doors to industry Most students can only dream of leaving school early and walking into the career that they have always wanted. But that’s exactly what Clayton Anderson did, with the help of NMIT and Nelson construction company Gibbons Naylor. Clayton didn’t particularly enjoy the academic side of school, but he was a natural when it came to practical skills. He aspired to one day be a builder, so he signed up for the Trades Academy at NMIT while he was still at Waimea College. The Trades Academy is for students who want to stay in school to complete NCEA, but are ready to start training for a real job. Clayton would attend the Trades Academy on Fridays, working towards a National Certificate in Trades, while going to school the rest of the week. Trades Academy students work in NMIT’s carpentry barn and enclosed construction yard where they learn real-world skills that prepare them for jobs, apprenticeships or further study. Students learn skills like making pre-framed walls, installing windows, hanging doors, and how to interpret plans and create drawings for building projects. They are also given a lot of freedom to pursue their own projects and a highlight for Clayton was building a large ken-
nel for his hunting dogs at home. Clayton was quickly identified as a student who showed a lot of promise, both in terms of his practical skills and attitude. Trades Academy tutor Richard Shepherd knew that Gibbons Naylor was looking for a new apprentice and so he recommended Clayton. At the age of 16, Clayton started as an apprentice with Gibbons Naylor while studying for the New Zealand Certificate in Carpentry (Level 4) at NMIT. “It’s pretty rare. There’s probably only two or three learners that I’ve come across at that age in the last five years that had the ability to do that,” says NMIT Construction Tutor Steve McIntyre. “It is a big step to go from school to industry. We were happy to help Clayton get there.” Clayton says he enjoys the balance of completing his online portfolio and learning new practical skills at NMIT. He says that Gibbons Naylor has also been really supportive during the first year of his apprenticeship. “They help you through and put you with the right guys, match you with people with skills they can teach you. We also get hearing checks, skin checks and a dental plan.” Business Update. Adv.

Rental landscape leaves tenants ‘powerless’ Charles Anderson Editor
charles@nelsonweekly.co.nz
The Rutherford family are on a deadline. Just before Christmas their landlord told them that they needed the family of six out of the Atawhai house that was supposed to be a home for 5-10 years. Now they are on tenterhooks waiting to see if any of the myriad rental applications will come through before they have to move out on March 6. “It’s a huge stress on the kids not knowing if we will have a place and being uprooted all the time,” says mum Lynley. Her and husband Stephen have been renters all their married life, but it is only recently that they have faced firsthand the insecurity that can come with that. Eighteen months ago, they were forced into temporary accommodation after another landlord said they needed them out. They only got a few weeks to find a place. “It’s not enough time,” says

Dame Alison dies
Nelsonian Dame Alison Roxburgh, who was recognised for her work in the community and to women’s affairs, has died at the age of 85. Dame Alison was heavily involved in the community through many organisations including the National Council of Women of New Zealand, the Suter Gallery Trust, Nelson Polytechnic and the Nelson City Luncheon Club. She also took on national and international roles with organisations such as the International Council of Women, the New Zealand Association of Polytechnics and the Otago University Graduates Association. Dame Alison died on January 25 and is survived by her children Gus and Lauren and her grandchildren Cameron and Jamie. As per Dame Alison’s wishes, a private cremation has taken place. A memorial gathering will be held for her at a later date.

Stephen, who works for Electronic Navigation at Port Nelson. “Then, this time we were told just before Christmas when there are no listings, and everyone is away.” The Rutherford family struggle is not unique. Data from Trade Me shows that the median rent in Nelson rose 12 per cent on last year, from $415 to a record $465 per week in December. Demand in Nelson is also high after the number of
enquiries jumped 26 per cent year-on-year. Amid that landscape, the family is trying to find a place that will suit their three sons and daughter. She says the process of getting a home is getting harder with property managers doing many more viewings than ever before. They say that Nelson doesn’t seem to have competition for price, but the prices are high. For a four-bedroom place

they say you would struggle to find anything under $500. The family have lived in three houses in the last five years. When they went into temporary accommodation, they thought they might be able to save some money, but all the extra cash went on a storage unit for their belongings. “The system is set up very much in favour of landlords,” says Stephen. “You feel powerless.”

Ivan’s long walk for life Jonty Dine Reporter
jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz
The trauma stemming from a sexual assault as a child eventually took its toll on Ivan Miller when he was 32. “It just caught up with me and I had a major breakdown,” he says. Hospitalised and heavily medicated, Ivan says he was stuck in a ‘Groundhog Day of misery’ for seven years starting in 2003.” Ivan turned to drugs and alcohol and wanted to end his life. After multiple stints in the Nelson Mental Health Unit, Ivan eventually met a friend who helped him turn things around. He suggested Ivan take an art course at NMIT, which he now says saved his life. “It put structure back in my day and gave me a social life which I had lost while I was ill.” He says it gave him an outlet to express everything he was feeling. One by one, Ivan came off his medications, learnt different strategies to cope when things got hard and says he slowly got his life back. At the end of 2018, Ivan was living in Kerikeri when he lost his job due to a work restructure and saw it as the perfect opportunity to do something special. To help raise finds and awareness for mental health, Ivan set out to circumnavigate the country on foot.
Ivan Miller is currently walking the length and breadth of the country to raise awareness for mental health. Photo: Jonty Dine. “I had this idea of walking around New Zealand and I was ready to do it, so I sold all my stuff and just headed out.” Having done no training and very little exercise in his life, Ivan says it was a bit of a shock to the system at first. “By the time I got to 90 Mile Beach I knew I had to keep going.” Now, 12 months on, Ivan is still on his journey, having covered 3900km with about 2000km and six months to go. “My biggest priority was to connect with New Zealanders and open a conversation around mental health because it’s something that is not talked about enough.” His journey hasn’t been without plenty of adversity. “Winter was a mental challenge more than anything else. Camping out in the frost, the
coldest night was minus 6 degrees on the West Coast of the South Island.” In Fox Glacier he was caught in a storm and stranded for three weeks. “I couldn’t go north or south, there were 100,000 lighting strikes one night which was the most terrifying thing of my life, but I survived it.” He has been inundated with offers along the way from people taking his pack to the next stop. And Ivan says his mental health is fantastic. “I was in a very good place when I started but it’s just grown.” He says he doesn’t even think about walking anymore, his legs “just do it”. “I don’t know how I am going to stop when I get to Cape Reinga.” You can follow Ivan’s journey ‘Walking for Life’ on Facebook.

Broadgreen volunteer recognised for years of service One of Nelson’s longest-serving volunteers has been given a special thank you from the Nelson Mayor. Janette Dimery has been helping at the Broadgreen Society for almost half a century. She started volunteering at Broadgreen House in 1971, initially working for the council inside the house. A few years later, she began caring for the Broadgreen Rose Garden, which has recently been recognised as a fivestar Garden of Significance. She then started chatting informally to visitors to the house, which was only open on Sundays at that time. This led to her being offered regular guiding duties, and she has been a Thursday morning guide there now for some years. Janette has also spent many years assisting the previous curator, Margaret Paul, with data entry and administration duties. She says it’s been a real pleasure to give so much of her time to Broadgreen. “I have really enjoyed meeting people from all walks of life, especially when we have overseas visitors.
“One of the highlights was showing the US ambassador and his wife through the property.” Janette also enjoys showing school groups around, especially when the children return with their parents and grandparents in tow. She said she was shocked to find out her time and efforts were being recognised by the Mayor. “When you do something for pleasure, you just don’t think of the reward,” she says. Nelson Mayor, Rachel Reese, says Janette’s dedication and passion to Broadgreen is inspiring. “It’s been an honour to meet and talk with Janette, and I thank her for her extraordinary service, her much valued time and her efforts. “Without people like Janette, our wonderful heritage properties and facilities would not be able to offer visitors the unique historical experience which is such an integral part of Nelson Whakatū’s history,” she says. Janette Dimery says she hopes to keep volunteering at Broadgreen for many years to come.

Council projects to watch out for in 2020 As the new-look Nelson City Council prepares to go back for the year this month, we give you a run-down on some of the most interesting projects to watch out for in 2020 - from an overhaul of our parking system to new loos.

The idea was to create something that would serve the city well in its future development. Now, seven years later, council should finally be entering the final stages of its release. Towards the end of the year the plan will up for discussion. It will bring the Nelson Regional Policy Statement, Nelson Air Quality Plan and the Nelson Resource Management Plan into the one document.

Building on the success of the upper Trafalgar St summer closure, a series of trials is also expected be undertaken to make use of city laneways. Walkability, liveability and supporting and growing existing precincts are also on the agenda. Council will also continue using temporarily vacant buildings to house art and community organisations. Modellers Pond: Tahunanui’s Modellers Pond is still stagnant with weeds, but a new council is looking for action this year. Last year it was decided to progress the option of a full upgrade of the pond, including installing a concrete base at a cost that is now estimated at more than $3 million. This follows an unsuccessful trial dosing the pond with a diatom fertiliser. Resource consent is already in place for the upgrade, but council is still consulting with Iwi. A report is expected to come

The artwork known as the Welcome Cloak is still yet to make an appearance on the Millers Acre building. It was announced in September 2018 that it would be moving there from Saltwater Creek and a year later it was discovered Millers Acre would need recladding before the work could be hung. Last week, a council spokesperson told Nelson Weekly that there is no update.

Delaware Access Group: The council omitted to include Delaware Bay as a launch site in the regional management plan for reasons unknown, even though it was in use as a launch site long before the Resource Management Act. Delaware Bay estuary is Crown owned land, that within the council plan, we believe boats can be launched and retrieved here at the launching site. Contrary to what has been reported, the majority of Delaware Bay residents want the ramp to remain open. A number of iwi users also value this as a launch and retrieval site and as such also want access to remain open. The recent redirection and encouraging of boat users to launch at Cable Bay as an alternative site by council staff is promoting unsafe practice that has real potential for risk to all users in the water and around the ramp
area. With a process still in place focused on access at Delaware Bay and the length of time Delaware Estuary has been used to launch from, to rush this decision through at the busiest time of year is mounting real pressure on a risky launch and retrieval site in Cable Bay. It is not well thought out and already has created friction amongst users. Simon Mardon

Nelson Matters Nelson and Tasman needs were ignored by the Government in last week’s $8 billion infrastructure package of 40 roading and hospital projects around New Zealand. There was nothing for our region. The congestion and road safety issues in Nelson and Richmond just keep getting worse. I am being inundated with complaints about the increasing congestion on Rocks Road, Waimea Road, Richmond’s lower Queen Street intersection and around Champion Road. Journeys that used to take 5 minutes are taking 20 minutes. Frustrated motorists are taking unnecessary risks increasing the number of accidents. Rat running to avoid the
snarl ups is affecting suburban neighbourhoods. The problems on Waimea Road will just get worse when the new traffic lights linking Princes Drive are added in June. Nelson also has the most earthquake prone hospital in NZ and our seismic risk is similar to Christchurch. The law I passed in 2016 as Building Minister requires it to be upgraded this decade. It has insufficient beds for our growing and aging population nor are the facilities up to scratch for patients, doctors and nurses. It should have been included in the list of hospital upgrades. Labour Ministers like Grant Robertson and Phil Twyford jus-
tified the lack of local projects by saying the funds had been allocated on the basis of population and growth. Nelson and Tasman make up 2% of New Zealand’s population and our share would equate to $160 million. Northland got $692 million worth of projects. Regions with less growth and population like Gisborne, Whangarei, Levin, Palmerston North and Wairarapa all got significant projects. I commend Tasman Mayor Tim King for pointing out that population growth in our region has been 2.1% per year and the same as Auckland’s. He and other South Island Mayors are right to cry foul. The South Island makes up 22% of New Zealand’s popu-

It rubs salt in the wound that this Government has also put petrol taxes and road user charges up three times for Nelson and Tasman motorists. They are taking millions more out of the region but not investing any back. They last year cancelled $6 million of work on upgrades to SH 6 in Stoke and Atawhai providing quieter and safer road surfacing. We are paying more for less. National has a proven record of major transport investment locally. We built QE II Drive in the 1980s and the Stoke Bypass in the 1990s (against opposi-

We rightly made the $1.4 billion fix of SH1 the priority after the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake. I lobbied hard to get the $135 million commitment for the Southern Link from then PM Bill English and Transport Minister Simon Bridges in 2017. My greatest disappointment last election from Winston Peters’ decision to go with Labour, was the deferral of this project. Nelsonians are rightly angry with Labour over this neglect of our region.

LOCALLY OWNED & OPERATED Now that the days are getting warmer, Debug Nelson has been getting a lot more calls for spider and fly treatments. “It’s the time of year when pesky flies, ants and spiders start invading your home but you don’t have to put up with it,” says owner Shane Warland. “We are all about customer satisfaction – it usually only takes one treatment, but sometimes a job can be more difficult, so we keep at it until your home is pest free!” Shane has some practical advice about keeping pests away. “Trim back any trees which are touching your house as these can provide access for ants. Clean up after your dog, and use a compost bin for your grass clippings, as both these things can attract flies.” Shane is more than happy to chat about your pest problems and provide free quotes, so visit www.debugnelson.co.nz or phone Debug Nelson on 03 548 0121 to get in touch. “We are locals looking after locals.”
Nearly two years ago, young entrepreneurs Joshua Kirk and Tim Williams co-founded their digital content creation business called Lumiere, with a goal to help promote businesses in the digital marketplace. Tim and Joshua have an extensive background in photography and video-production so their skills combine extremely well, along with a growing team of six. “We are trying to make digital content more accessible for smaller businesses while still offering the quality you would expect from larger production companies outside of Nelson,” says Joshua. One of Lumiere’s products is tailored towards managing peoples social media channels. “We are able to offer businesses a monthly retainer, and we capture regular content for their online presence.” Lumiere’s 12-month subscription enables people to spread their marketing budget further, over the whole year, instead of a lump sum for one big production. “One of the things we love is journeying with small to medium sized businesses, and to see them grow with our content.” Joshua says with social media, it’s difficult to achieve instant success overnight, and they look at partnering with people over the longer term to develop a strong, consistent and authentic brand image.
As we are all trying to get back into the swing of things for 2020, some things we tend to forget about are the things we don’t often look at every day.

Longstanding local business, Trafalgar Painting Ltd, takes great pleasure investing in Nelson! “Money spent in Nelson stays in Nelson rather than go to some business in Auckland,” says Managing Director Joe Szentpeteri. “We invest in the community through sponsorship like contributing towards the cost of schooling for kids with learning disabilities; we also sponsor ‘Hip Hoperation,’ a group of Nelson retirees to help get them out there doing what they love. There are also local schoolchildren who can’t afford schoolbooks who we like to help through our sponsorship. As a business we feel giving something back is really important.” Co-Owners Joe, Mark & Nathan employ a skilled and diverse team of fulltime staff of around 12. The company also employs unskilled labourers, providing them opportunity through training and life skills. In light of Nelson City Council’s recent ‘Climate Change Emergency’ announcement, Joe says environmental issues are no longer a topic to talk about; it’s time to re-evaluate. “Painting, like many industries uses a lot of chemicals. The industry has made good inroads towards reducing its carbon footprint in the last decade. Following the industries’ momentum, we implemented an environmental policy, creating more discussions and challenging how we manage our footprint and think about our environment; subsequently we have introduced small changes.” Trafalgar Painting has recently invested in an electric pushbike. “We offer our staff a deal where we pay 50 percent of the purchase of an electric bike and take a small amount out of their wage each week to cover it. This allows affordable access to some really cool technology and the benefits associated with exercise.” With over 30 years’ experience in the painting industry and 19 years in asbestos abatement work, Trafalgar Painting Ltd offers a wide range of services to the marine, industrial and commercial sectors. “We combine our skills and knowledge to ensure every client gets the best possible service.

Musical theatre award for travelling teens Staff Reporter One year ago, three Nelson teens were busking at the Nelson Market Day to raise money for the trip of a lifetime to represent New Zealand at the 15th Junior Theatre Festival in Atlanta, Georgia. Last week, they returned home champions after being awarded an Excellence in Music for their performance of Mary Poppins Jr as part of the inaugural New Zealand team. The 40 youngsters were selected from 650 hopefuls from around the country to be part of the Kiwi All Stars, including Nelson teens Matthew Edgar, 15, Tiana Simpson, 14, and Sophie McCarlie, 17. The Junior Theatre Festival celebrates musical theatre and musical theatre education with three days of events and performances that bring Broadway and West End professionals together with
educators and young students. Teams present a 15-minute staged performance for adjudication, after which students attend interactive workshops. The Kiwi All Stars competed against 127 groups representing six countries – USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, England and China – a total of 6,532 people. Unable to rehearse together prior to leaving for the States, the troupe met in New York for rehearsals as well as a series of workshops with industry professionals and attended Broadway shows. “I loved the Broadway shows,” says Sophie. “Getting the opportunity to talk to the Frozen cast members after the show reinforced just how much time and effort you need to put in to achieve what you want.” After a frenetic rehearsal period the troupe headed to Atlanta for the festival. Australasian Director Shane
Bransdon, from Oz Theatrics, says that part of the experience was to put the students through a professional rehearsal schedule. “They worked long hours and they stepped up to match the standard that is offered by industry professionals,” he says. “The kids lapped up every opportunity.” Despite less than five full days of rehearsals, Matthew says that he was reasonably confident that the Kiwi troupe would punch above their weight. “Despite all being strangers, we came together as a group so well and we’d all worked so hard,” he says. “I was so surprised and absolutely ecstatic when they called our name to receive the Excellence in Music award. To be recognised among so many groups that had trained together for months was astounding.” After the festival the troupe headed to Los Angeles where
they took in some of the famous Hollywood sights including a private tour and workshop at Universal Studios’ Water World and then a half-day workshop with Disney performers at Disneyland where they learnt about the importance of improvisation. “It’s okay to make mistakes, but you just have to use your imagination and carry on regardless,” says Tiana. They all agree that it was the experience of a lifetime, but are quick to acknowledge the amount of work and dedication required. “The pressure to get the piece of work done was inspiring, and it was amazing to be immersed with other people passionate about musical theatre,” says Sophie. “All of the workshops and meeting industry professionals and performers who so willingly shared their knowledge was amazing,” says Matthew.

Local power features in Crusaders win
Jonty Dine
The Crusaders put in a dominant display in their Super Rugby opener, defeating the Waratahs 43-25 in Nelson on Saturday. The defending champions ran in six tries at Trafalgar Park, sending an ominous warning to the competition as they chase a fourth consecutive title. Several Mako were named in the starting line-up and the local lads put on a clinic in front of friends and family. With Richie Mo’unga receiving
treatment, David Havili slotted the first points of the Crusaders’ campaign. The Waratahs returned in kind before another Mako man, Will Jordan, found his way over the chalk on the back of a brilliant offload from skipper Scott Barrett for the first try of the game. The second was sparked through slick interplay between former Nelson College players Leicester Faingaanuku and Mitch Drummond who set Braydon Ennor sailing away under the sticks.
The Mako show continued as Faingaanuku latched onto a high ball and powered his way through several defenders to find the line from 40 metres out on his home ground, as the defending champions raced to a 24-6 advantage. It was a slow start to the second for both sides before debutant Mark Nawaqanitawase pulled one back for the Waratahs. The NSW flyer then went back to back to bring his side right back in the contes with twenty minutes remaining. However, just as they looked to be making a comeback, the Waratahs were stung with a bonus point try as Ennor nabbed his second. The nail was well and truly put in the coffin minutes later as Jordan burst through the line and scooted away to seal an opening round win for the Cantabrians.
Faingaanuku says he and his fellow Nelson teammates had been champing at the bit for the side’s first visit to the city since 2015. “I think it made the other boys step up to put on a show for the boys that were bred here like myself, so I’m stoked to get the win for the crowd.” The former New Zealand schoolboy says while there will be plenty of lessons from tonight’s win, they will enjoy the moment. He was quick to deflect credit for his superb solo try. “I like to get my hands on the ball and I wasn’t getting a lot in the first half so I whispered to Richie ‘feed me man I’m hungry,’ so he gave me the cue to chase after the high ball and all I had to do was catch and pin the ears back so full credit to the boys it was a team effort.”
The 20-year-old powerhouse says he is constantly learning from the likes of All Black wings George Bridge and Sevu Reece in the Crusaders environment. “I am finding out how and why this franchise is the best in the world and enjoying every moment. The bonus point win was the perfect start to the defending champion’s season who are looking to break its own record of three titles in a row. “It won’t come easy, it will take effort, we will take it week by week and build from there, that is the end goal, but it will take a lot of mahi.” Scorers: Crusaders 43 (Ennor 2, Jordan 2, Faingaanuku, Romano tries, Havili 4 cons, 1 pen) Waratahs 18 (Nawaqanitawase 2 tries, Harrison 2 pens)

Paddy comes away with win Jody Scott
Speedway Reporter editorial@nelsonweekly.co.nz
A demanding race surface scorched by the summer heat wasn’t going to get in the way of Paddy North winning the Mag and Turbo Super Cup feature race. The owner, MD Freighting, was also the night’s sponsor for the Super Saloon series coming to Milestone Homes Top of the South Speedway on a warm Saturday night. North won the pole shuffle and went on to win the feature race as the field slowly succumbed the conditions. Local driver Ian Burson was one caught out in the early heats - failing to front for heat two but was benefited by a retiring field. He started from 16th on the grid and finished fifth as the chequered flag dropped. Shane Carey made a welcome return to racing after engine issues delayed his season. Former three times New Zealand champion Mark Osborne finished second, with series leader Trevor

The Street Stocks were running their club champs and a few drivers suffered various issues with Steve Soper coming out on top. A run-off for second and third between KC Rose and Shannon Marr didn’t end well for either car. A dive from Rose saw both cars damaged with Marr limping home and Rose parked broken on the infield. The Super Stocks were at almost full quota, but many had a change of driver after a busy few weeks on the road for the regular pilots. The sidecars ran a teams’ event
between Nelson, Christchurch and Blenheim with Nelson coming out the victors. Youth Ministocks were keeping the referee’s busy, a few of the newer drivers starting to get their confidence up and challenging for podium spots. The Stocks cars saw the debut of the 1nz Machine Ben Smith picking up two wins. The Tasman Thunder have named a team after initially pulling the plug for the NZ Teams in Stratford. A few new club members in the form of Dylan Robb and Wade Sweeting will join John Everett, Adam Hall, Dylan Hall and Dylan Clarke in the

She finished second in the feature race on an ultra-fast track, passing cars at will throughout the night. The next meeting is racing for the Kids’ Night, supporting the Child Cancer Foundation with a bike race to start the programme.

The former Nelson College skipper broke a bone in his hand during his side’s pre-season win over the Highlanders in Wanaka last Saturday. The injury will see him sitting on the sidelines for the first five weeks of competition. It is a major blow for the young lock who was set for a big campaign with Sam Whitelock on sabbatical.

GENERATIONS OF NELSON Brought to you by Marsden House All Aboard for Wakefield
The Nelson Volunteer Militia was formed after the Wairau Affray of 1843, and by 1866 most young Nelson males would join. Shooting competitions, target practice, athletics and race days gave plenty to do, a chance to show
off, and many opportunities to enjoy the social life. Easter Monday 1876 for instance saw a gala mood when a train was specially scheduled to allow the public to attend the volunteers’ Wakefield exercises.

Tasman United put in another stellar performance on Sunday to dispatch Hawke’s Bay United 3-1 at Saxton Field. The side’s third win from four games in the post-Christmas season has seen them shoot to fifth on the National Football League table. Striker Jean-Philippe Saiko’s hot run of form continued as the New Caledonian opened the scoring in spectacular fashion after half an hour. Saiko’s strike from the top of the box gave the hosts a 1-0 advantage heading into the break. Tasman struck again 15 minutes into the second as Corey Vickers laid it on a platform for Max Winterton who made no mistake. With the result assured, Saiko inflicted further pain as he netted a second in the 75th.

Sprinting prodigy sets personal bests Jonty Dine
Greg Hay didn’t get the homecoming he wanted last week. Photo: File.
Unhappy homecoming for home boy Hay Jonty Dine Nelson batsmen Greg Hay has had an unhappy homecoming as the Central Stags took on the Otago Volts at Saxton Oval in the Ford Trophy last week. The opener was dismissed for a golden duck as he was caught behind off the bowling of Nathan Smith off just the second legitimate delivery of the innings. A dominant batting display powered the hosts to a 55-run win with Kieran Noema-Barnett and George Working putting in superb all-round performances. The Volts never seriously threatened the 346-run target as the Stags
21
opening duo of Seth Rance and Ben Wheeler had the visitors reeling at 12/3. A Dean Foxcroft century wasn’t enough to save the Volts with Worker backing up his 99 with three wickets and Noema-Barnett also chipping in with three late scalps after his brutal knock of 81no. Earlier the Stags amassed 345/2 thanks in large part to a century from opener Ben Smith and NoemaBarnett’s blistering cameo. Smith and Worker put on a 224run second wicket partnership in a dominant display. Worker brutalised the Volts attack, clobbering eight sixes and five fours in his 35-ball knock.
Micayla Whiti is one to watch but don’t blink or you’ll miss her. The young sprinting prodigy got her first taste of gold as a fiveyear-old and has been racking up the medals ever since. She will leave an impressive legacy at the Colgate Games after her final appearance next year. The 13-year-old has been competing at the event since she was seven, dominating the 100m and 200m sprints and amassing a staggering 25 medals. Micayla was in vintage form at her most recent games, bringing home three gold medals and a silver. She finished first in the 200m and was just pipped to the finish, while battling a strong head wind, in the 100m during the North Island Games in Taranaki. Micayla set a personal best time of 26:22 in the 200m. She then went one better at the South Island games, winning

Her focus now shifts to the Tasman Champs this weekend where she has been number one for eight years. Micayla moves onto high school this year, meaning 2021 will be her final Colgate Games, but says she
is excited about her next chapter. The diminutive runner says she had so much energy as a child her mum put her into athletics. “I kept going from there when they realised how fast I was.” She credits her coach Dennis Kale and training squad, the “Speed Freaks,” where she trains with the nationally-ranked Lucy Sheat, for her ascension in the sport. Micayla says she is never daunted by the occasion when waiting in the starters block. “I kind of like the nerves.” She hopes to one day emulate her idol, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, who claimed gold for Jamaica at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. “A gold medal for New Zealand at Olympics, that’s the dream.” Mother Angela says her daughter is not one to brag about her lengthy list of accolades. “She’s quite humble, her school used to have to push her to tell them how she went on the weekend because she wouldn’t tell them.”

The canny Billy Guyton allowed the seam to do the work, taking three wickets while Paddy Howes and Tom Chambers also bowled tidily. Stoke Nayland 254/8 (Darius Skeaping 105, Dylan Eginton 37, Damian Aitken 3/49, Vivek Jadhav 2/34) Wakatu 204 (Fergus Hughes 73, Mason Robinson 43, Billy Guyton 3/45, Paddy Howes 2/34) Stoke Nayland won by 50 runs
A tradesman-like victory by Car Company Stoke Nayland guaranteed them a place in the final of the TPL club cricket competition on Saturday. There were a couple of outstanding individual performances on the penultimate round of play, Darius Skeaping scoring a nice century while Joey O’Connor produced a century and four wickets for WTTU. Stoke Nayland v Wakatu Although it went into the 47th over, Car Company Stoke Nayland eventually subdued a stubborn Wakatu at Marsden Rec. Opener Kurt Pahl got the home team away in his customary quick-fire manor, while his opening partner, Darius Skeaping, anchored the innings with an excellent 123ball century that included 15

WTTU v Wanderers/Motueka An outstanding double by Joey O’Connor secured WTTU an emphatic victory over Wanderers/ Motueka at Brightwater. First, O’Connor crafted a stunning 123-delivery century which included 15 boundaries and 3 sixes. He shared a fine 141-run second wicket partnership with Jack
Aldridge. The innings was further buoyed with a very tidy knock by the diminutive number 6 batsman, Daniel Endersby. Jack White was dangerous with the ball and was well supported by Mitchell Grant and Hayden Ingham. When Wanderers/Motueka replied it was O’Connor the bowler who starred with four wickets. Although there were meaningful contributions from veteran Dave Leonard, Max Mannering, young Boe Bamford and Ingham, the total always appeared just out of reach. Although they took the chase into the 46th over, wickets fell at regular intervals to ensure they never really looked in touch. Sam Baxendine picked up a couple of wickets, but it was really all O’Connor’s day. WTTU 277 (Joey O’Connor 125, Daniel Endersby 61, Jack White 4/61, Mitchell Grant 2/42) Wanders/Motueka 217 (Dave Leonard 54, Max Mannering 40, O’Connor 4/38) WTTU won by 60 runs
