Playground pop-up for central city Staff Reporter

Opera dazzles under stars More than 6000 people streamed into Trafalgar Park on Saturday night for Opera in the Park. The event attracted some of the country’s top opera singers and contemporary musical talent. With a programme designed by musical director Pete Rainey, contemporary singer/songwriters Jason Kerrison and Tami Neilson joined baritone Joel Amosa, soprano Eliza Boom and tenor Jarod Holt among the evening’s acts. With the evening’s fireworks cancelled due to fire risk the entertainers got the crowd excited with a rendition of ‘Hey Jude’ instead. Photos: Tim Cuff.

A soon-to-be demolished building next to the Elma Turner Library on Halifax Street, will provide space for a new pop-up playground, thanks to a collaboration between Nelson City Council and Wakatū Incorporation. City centre development programme lead Alan Gray says the project came about after council undertook the Public Life Survey, which measured the footfall of different age groups throughout the city. “We found that out of all the activities we measured, less than two percent included children playing. Less than five percent of the people we saw in the city centre were under five-years-old.” The site of the building, which is in the process of being demolished due to seismic issues, was initially earmarked as a carpark but the results from the survey prompted

a rethink about the ways to encourage more children and families into the city. Alan says he wanted to try something different with the site that connects the river with the city and gives children a place to play. The playground, which will start being built in three weeks and be completed by winter, will include a pump track for skaters, bicycles and scooters, a basketball court, and an imagination playground for younger children. The imagination playground includes foam building materials, which children can use to make their own play structures. Nelson Mayor Rachel Reese said the new playground is in line with council’s plans to revitalise the city centre and riverside precinct. “I can’t wait to see shooting hoops, racing on the pump track, and imaginations running

“Yes, absolutely. A bouncy castle with a gated area would be great.”

“That would be awesome, it would be good to have some more places for the young ones where the mums and dads can just chill.”

“It would be good for when we go out to eat. My wife and I could spend some time together and have a babysitter for 15 minutes. It would need to be fenced off though.”

Parents can go for a walk along the Maitai knowing there’s somewhere for their children to play at the end of their journey.” She says it’s a smart way for council to use land in a way that benefits a wide range of Nelsonians. “Thank you to Wakatū Inc for working with us to make it happen.” Wakatū Inc group general manager for property and commercial, Iain Sheves, says that Wakatū Incorporation was happy to support the project by providing a temporary location for the pop-up playground. “The council approached us with

Photo: Jonty Dine. the idea of using the area for a new space for children and families.” He says Wakatū Incorporation were planning to redevelop the space as part of the Mahitahi river precinct project, which is about creating a stronger link between

the river and the city centre. “However, the redevelopment is a couple of years away, so we are pleased to be able to support this fun temporary addition to community spaces for young people and families.”

Although the pop-up playground is not a permanent fixture, all of the materials used can be repositioned to another site in the city when needed. Council could not say how much the project would cost.

White supremacist group forms Nelson chapter Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

A white nationalist group spreading across the country has formed a chapter in Nelson. Action Zealandia propagates “building a community for European New Zealanders” and runs a blog spouting racist beliefs. The blog indicates that the group has come to Nelson, with members seen boxing at Cable Bay. Posters and stickers promoting the group have also been seen around the city, most recently plastered outside Nelson MP Nick Smith’s office. Photos of the act were posted to Facebook and met with largely negative comments. “I’ve already started pulling some down because you are lower than dog s*** in the political world,” one user said. “Pulling down your posters is the fun part of my day.” “I mean, there are easier ways of saying ‘we’re racist’ but, whatever.” Nick says this “this white supremacist rubbish” has no place in Nelson or New Zealand. “We are seeing some of this extremist material in Europe and other countries and it’s sad that it’s rearing its ugly head in Nelson.” Nick says the group’s ideals betray the country’s core values

A photo posted to the group’s online blog showing members boxing at Cable Bay. Photo: Action Zealandia. of respecting people regardless of ethnicity, religion or creed. “If these values that I hold dear cause these white supremacists unease and they target my office as a result, I don’t care, they are only hardening my resolve to stand up against such racism.” He challenges the group to come out of the shadows, “I am happy to debate with them any place, any time, why New Zealand must always treat people equally.” Nelson Multicultural Society manager Pablo Salas didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he heard about the group forming a chapter in Nelson. “I am shocked that it’s happening in 2020.” Pablo says the group has created a platform for refugees and immigrants to report incidents of racism.

“We have had about ten per cent of incidents which is usually someone yelling in the street to ‘go home’.” He says Nelson is generally very embracing of its minority communities. A Nelson Weekly reporter recently attempted to arrange an interview with Action Zealandia but was denied based on his occupation. After an online exchange including a questionnaire a Skype interview was arranged. The reporter was asked about his political ideology, the problems in New Zealand society, people he looked up to and media he consumed. However, on the day of the scheduled interview, the Action Zealandia member decided against the call citing “too much of a risk”.

New Wellington flights launched Locally Owned and Operated

Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Nelsonians looking to cross the Cook Strait now have a third airline to choose from. Originair made its inaugural flight from Nelson to Wellington on Friday afternoon in response to passenger demand. Originair’s CEO Robert Inglis says the decision to reintroduce the route came following Jetstar’s withdrawal from the region. “When Jetstar started, there wasn’t much point in continuing with their competition but, as they departed, we have had a lot of requests to add some Wellington capacity. It’s not a lot at this stage but at least it gives a bit of choice.” Originair’s new Wellington service will initially be limited to 10 sectors per week, concentrating on peak demand times. “It’s an expensive sector to Wellington, any short sector, the on and off ground costs are

Originair CEO Robert Inglis says his airlines new flights will be concentrated on peak demand times. Photo: Jonty Dine. significant,” Robert says. “You can never really be a cheap sector but we’re hoping we are offering fair fares and that passengers will enjoy that choice.” The announcement of the Nelson-Wellington route comes after very consistent and encouraging demand for seats on the airline’s newly-resumed Nelson-Palmerston North service.

“We are very happy with the way that the reintroduction of our Palmerston North service has been going.” He says demand has been solid and that gives them additional confidence to grow. “It’s another milestone.” He says the early indications have shown encouraging reservations. Dan Raggett was aboard the first flight out of Nelson on Friday. “I knew that it had just started but didn’t know it was the first one. I got a free coffee so that’s pretty cool.” Dan is delighted to see another airline flying to and from the capital. “I was pretty bummed out when Jetstar pulled out. Obviously, prices have gone up so it’s really good to get someone else in the mix.” Dan says price was a major factor in selecting his airline. “I booked this pretty last minute, shopped around and Air New Zealand was pretty expensive and this was the cheapest option and it’s good to support them.”

Coronavirus causes forestry slowdown The flow on effects of the coronavirus are beginning to be felt across the region, with those in the primary industries suffering work cutbacks this week. Nelson Forests Ltd general manager of forests Brent Guild says they have hundreds of contractors assisting their business, many of whom had their work cut by 20 per cent on Monday because of a slowdown of exports following the outbreak of coronavirus. Brent says their harvesting operations dropped to 80 per cent on Monday as a first step in managing the slowdown. “The market in China was already quite full of wood, not just from New Zealand but from Russia, Europe and North America. With coronavirus

on top of that, you’ve now got people who aren’t able or can’t physically get to work.” Brent says that part of the problem is that people in China can’t get to work to unload boats or into processing facilities. “Up until the last couple of days the banks weren’t open to get the letter of credit which guarantees payment of the shipment at the other end.” Brent says that the situation is fluid and is one that they will be managing day by day. “I think it’s fair to say the magnitude and the shake that this thing is getting has really taken a lot of people by surprise.” He says, while they are hoping it’s a short-lived event, Nelson Forests is planning for something that may take several months to right itself. “The sorts of people who are going to be affected are the

logging contractors, the carting contractors - right through to the people who provide the services at the port.” He says they are very mindful of the impact to both businesses and individuals and are trying to manage their way through. “We’re hoping for the best but planning for the worst.” Brodie Drummond, general manager at Stuart Drummond Transport, says that they are one of the contractors already starting to feel the flow-on effects of coronavirus. “We’ve had a slowdown, for sure,” Brodie says. “We do have a few other projects at the moment which means we can keep our staff busy, but this is going to hurt us financially, definitely.” In a full council meeting last Thursday, Nelson Mayor Rachel Reese said that the virus would have a significant impact.

When Bryan and Mairéad Calder pledged their commitment to each other before an audience of noisy birds in Lough Wildlife Sanctuary in Ireland, they never imagined they’d be doing it all again, 19 years later, beneath a giant inflatable moon. However – as winners of a competition inviting couples to renew their wedding vows under the moon, presented by The Breeze in partnership with Nelson Provincial Museum – the couple did just that on Valentine’s Day last week. Mairéad said she heard about the competition and thought how much I’d love to marry Bryan all over again. “I also remember being so worried about getting everything perfect for everyone else the first time around… this time I was able to just enjoy it.” Photo: Michael Robertson.

“Consequences for our region are perhaps not so significant in relation to tourism but they are already starting to have a quite severe impact on the primary sector in terms of our exports.

“The supply chain has been disrupted so it’s not just supply going into China but the container supply chain has been disrupted, and that is going to impact very much on our horticultural sector.”

Project Moturoa - ‘the best thing I’ve ever done’ School just wasn’t working for 17-year-old Reann, but she was prepared to give a 10-month conservation course for young Māori a go. Graduating alongside seven other students last November, she said it’s the best thing she’s ever done. The course, delivered by NMIT in partnership with the Department of Conservation (DOC), has helped Reann to become more confident and excited about her future. She now knows what she wants to do with her life and has the skills and knowledge to make it happen. Reann was exactly the person the Moturoa Project was designed for. The purpose of Project Moturoa is to offer up to 22 young people (rangatahi) across Te Tau Ihu the opportunity to gain valuable conservation skills, supported by mātauranga Māori, each year. NMIT delivers the technical aspects of the 10-month NCEA Level 4 programme, which covers conservation from a Māori worldview. NMIT is the only tertiary institute in the country that offers this Kaitiaki Whenua Trainee Ranger programme, which includes on-campus classes, practical training in the field, and regular Marae visits. The Moturoa project was designed specifically with rangatahi in mind, acknowledging that

they are a critical component of future capability and capacity and succession planning for iwi. The content includes culturally safe practices in management of archaeological sites, wāhi tapu (sacred places), urupā (burial grounds) and other taonga (treasures). The participants are also shown how to maintain and manage important ecosystems, including harakeke/flax wetlands which provide a sustainable source of materials for rāranga (weaving), as well as culturally significant sites for gathering kai and harvesting medicinal plants. Reann says it was good to be learning in the Māori world. “We all came from different iwi but most of us had mutual connections,” she said. “From here, I’d like to work for DOC, get more qualified and my end goal will be to work with iwi.” Reann is now working for Kono, a familyowned Māori food and artisan producer of award-winning wine, cider, seafood, fruit and natural fruit bars. The Moturoa Project is running again in 2020 and applications are currently open, apply online now, nmit.ac.nz/kaitiaki-whenua-traineeranger. Business Update. Adv.

‘Free’ school looks to launch Charles Anderson Editor

charles@nelsonweekly.co.nz

It’s school but not as you know it - where children are free to pursue their own interests, direct the curriculum and learn from playing. The Aroha Discovery School is on the brink of launching at Fairfield House with 14 families interested in pursuing a different model of education. One of the founders, Anne Marie Richards, says the fundamental tenet of the school is that relationships are the foundation from which students will continually spark their creativity and desire to learn, grow and thrive as confident individuals. It is based on the idea that the world has changed and to better prepare children for that world, education needs to change too. Anne Marie started thinking about education after she began home schooling her son. “I got exposed to the different models that are out there.” One of those models was ‘democratic education’ which is driven by a child’s play, curiosity and passions. They learn by following their natural desires, relishing the joy of discovering knowledge for themselves. The goal is to keep the desire to learn alive, so students remain intrinsically motivated. In some democratic schools the children have a say in its

Photo: Charles Anderson. governance – as well as hiring and firing teachers. She hopes that it will launch for the second term for students aged 5 – 13. Anne Marie says there is a demand for something different and she gets enquiries every other week. “It may not be that it’s for everyone,” she says. “But my experience of these schools has led me to believe how much more confident and self-assured these students are. “They are free to find their passions.” While they still need to hire a head teacher and finalise the

fees, she is hopeful that it will all become clearer soon. Other similar schools around the country can cost up to $10,000 but Anne Marie says that their fees would likely be closer to $3000. The school has registered as a charity and is required to register as a private school with the Ministry of Education. The school is holding a fundraiser on March 1 at Fairfield from 4pm to 7pm with a free pizza with each ticket as well as raffles and entertainment.

What does the Kathmandu Coast to Coast and Nelson Shade Solutions have in common? The answer is closer than you think. It’s Saturday the 8th of February at 3.45am in the morning and with only 5 hours of restless sleep I am woken by my alarm clock. I wake with excitement and anticipation as the day has finally arrived after 6 months of training I will be lining up on Kumara beach to run, bike and kayak my way across the width of New Zealand to finish in New Brighton on the same day. Leading up to this moment, getting to the start line has been a combination of many factors and sacrifices. Its not something you can do on your own. You need a supportive team around you. People that will provide you with the right guidance and knowledge to help you prepare. You need to invest in quality and tested equipment that you can rely on. You need to engage in the expertise of people that have the experience to set you in the right

direction and have learnt through trial and error. You need to gain the correct certification to participate in the race. You need a support network that will lift you up and not bring you down. Completing the race has its challenges but the most important work has been done in the preparation. At 6.33pm on Saturday evening I arrived in New Brighton to greet my family and friends tired, fatigued and with nothing left in the tank. I gave it 100%. The next morning I woke up tired and stiff but decided I will go back in 2021 so I could improve on my race. What Nelson Shade Solutions has in common with the Coast to Coast is the preparation, support, experience and the desire to always want to do better. Business Update. Adv.

Paint pots help feed hungry Kate Russell Reporter

Empty shelves at the Salvation Army foodbank will soon be well stocked, thanks to a colourful partnership that Nelsonians are getting behind. Now in its sixth year, the Resene Hunger for Colour fundraiser lets people swap a can of food for a testpot of paint throughout this month. All the cans go straight into food parcels that the Salvation Army puts together for people in need. Salvation Army Nelson envoy, Ros

Vercoe, says it comes at just the right time, with the foodbank struggling for supplies after a busy Christmas period. Ros also says it’s not just those living in poverty that are struggling to buy food. “The working poor are also accessing this service and the need is not going away.” Resene Nelson manager Selina Wilson says they seeing people donating cans who have used the foodbank service in the past, and now want to give back. The fundraiser runs until 29 February.

Mayor sets top priorities for term As a new look Nelson City Council settles into their first year, Kate Russell sat down with Mayor Rachel Reese to find out how they are coming together and the top three priorities she will be driving for the next three years. A unified council: “The new council is going really well. There’s lots of energy, everyone’s positive, keen to get on with things and taking on responsibilities. We got together very soon after the election and talked about what was key to us as a council. Obviously, climate change remains a big issue and we’ve always got our four pillars around environment, infrastructure, city development and lifting council performance.” Affordable housing choice: “One of the things that has been a real priority for some time in Nelson is affordable housing choice. We want to work on an intensification plan, looking where we can get more townhouse and apartment developments, and making sure we’re supporting that. We’ve got some incentives around supporting intensification and we’ve got the full Nelson Plan that we’ve been working on for several years now and that has a real focus on affordable housing. We’re getting rid of a lot of the red tape and making sure we’ve got choice within that.”

I’ve already had some very constructive meetings with government representatives, MSD and others in the city, and we’re working collectively on our approach to affordable housing choice in Nelson and there are some exciting opportunities coming forward. We’re looking at where we go next when we work through the rest of our community housing project, what happens from that and our intentions to develop a housing reserve.” Transport: “We really want to think about how people move around in the city. The uptake of e-bikes has been phenomenal in the city and we’ve always had a great uptake on cycling, so we want to make sure we’re building on that. We’ve got a big public transport review that will roll out this year and we go onto electronic bus ticketing in May or June. That will see some adjustment to the fares as well, which we’re hoping will attract more people to giving the bus a go. We’re continuing with our cycleway development

Golf tournament for those in need Staff Reporter The Fifeshire Foundation Golf Tournament is on again March 12 at Nelson Golf Club with hopes to raise its annual $30,000 for those in need. The Fifeshire Foundation supports individuals and families as well as the organisationsÂ who work with vulnerable people. The foundation knows that many people in our region are coping with things like poverty, unemployment, health crises and domestic violence. In addition people may be managing to make ends meet, but then face a crisis or an unexpected extra expense and need somewhere else to turn. Each year the foundation aims to raise $140,000 through fundraising and donations that go directly to helping the Nelson Tasman community. C & F Legal Ltd has come on board as the official naming rights sponsor for the golf tournament. All Black Wyatt Crockett from Stirling Sports has also lent his support, including sponsorship and prizes from Stirling Sports. NBS is the official course sponsor for the day and there are still opportunities for people to sign up to play or sponsor the event. All players are provided with a range of complimentary on-course food and drink including local produce, BBQ and salmon nibbles. There will also be prizes for the topscoring teams, straightest drive, closest to the pin, best-dressed team and more. Entries close Friday March 6, teams of four players - men, women or mixed. For more details www.fifeshirefoundation. co.nz/events/2012/3/7/golf-tournament-2020

Your Voice Jordan given chance to shine: I want to send a massive thanks for the great article you wrote. I’ve never seen Jordan so happy and proud as when his coach and teammates all gathered around to see the copy of the Weekly with him. It also inspired him to play his best game by far! Thanks again for your coverage of the sports, it’s greatly appreciated by us all. Heather Walker Crusaders game turnout: For many years Nelson Crusaders fans have been ignored by the Crusaders Board and the reason given was that games held in Nelson did not cre-

ate a good enough financial return, even though at all previous games held here between 13000 and 17000 fans turned up to watch. The recent game between the Crusaders and Waratahs saw just over 7000 attending, and despite the Tasman Rugby Union saying “that was a good turnout as other things were on”, the fact is, it was a hugely disappointing attendance. This will no doubt impact negatively on Crusaders games being held in Nelson in future. There are two reasons why scheduling the Crusaders first 2020 game in Nelson was a gamble. Firstly, there is no “rugby fever” in Nelson in the middle of summer. If the game had been scheduled for late April or May then Nelson fans would have been there in big numbers. Secondly, and unfortunately sad-

Let’s hope that there has been a lesson learnt and the Tasman Rugby Union insists that the next game for Nelson is held on a more suited date. That may now be a long time coming!

Council contempt for democracy: It is truly disturbing that on Thursday, Nelson council denied lawyer Sue Grey a chance to speak on concerns that are shared by many Nelsonians. The unwillingness of council to be questioned on its lack of due process, its efforts to use ratepayer funds to quash community groups, and its absolute contempt for democracy are of serious concern. Much of this appears to be an attempt to hide the fact that the environmental damage done to the historical Dun Mtn. Railway Line is largely the responsibility of Nelson council, which approved, and should have monitored, the resource consent that allowed construction in that area. Council has demonstrated, not only in this instance but in many,

Nelson Matters Corruption is the root cause of so much poverty and mistrust in the world. New Zealand is fortunate to be largely free from graft in business and Government. I am proud that when National left office in 2017 Transparency International ranked New Zealand as the least corrupt country in the world. We must be vigilant in keeping it that way. That is why I have in Parliament this week being questioning and challenging the Coalition Government over New Zealand First’s secret donations scandal. It matters because NZ First and not the public determined the final outcome of Election 2017. Every day NZ First is playing a pivotal role in Government de-

cisions and giving out grants worth billions. The public has a right to know who is paying the piper. Our electoral law requires donations over $15,000 to be declared. National, Labour, the Greens and ACT all complied, publicly disclosing 124 such donations in Election 2017. NZ First declared none. Mr Peters has publicly stated NZ First survives on “cake stalls and raffles” rather than high value donors. It was also odd that NZ First had over $340,000 of anonymous donations, ten times as much as Nationals $28,000 or Labours $26,000. Late last year the President and Treasurer of NZ First re-

signed citing moral issues over the party’s finances. Journalist Guyon Espiner from RNZ and Matt Shand from Fairfax have subsequently disclosed that NZ First has a separate foundation that has received over $500,000 in secret donations from New Zealand’s richest people. Probity questions need to be asked of the Government giving millions in new tax concessions for racehorses and betting in Budget 2018 and 2019 with many of these secret donations to the NZ First Foundation coming from the racing industry. The Electoral Commission stated last week “the NZ First Foundation has received donations which should have been

that it will only listen to selected elite groups, usually from the most privileged sections of the community or else those whose support would advance the political aspirations of one member on council, aspirations for higher office. Ratepayer funds are not being directed to urgent environmental needs - such as the maintenance and upgrading of our sewage system - but instead to the interests of selected groups. This situation must change. Many U.S. British, Australian and Kiwi troops died in the Pacific during the last war to prevent the Empire of Japan from occupying New Zealand, which it had plans to do. The politburo that runs Nelson council shows nothing but contempt for the sacrifice made by these men and women. Dan McGuire

treated as party donations for the NZ First party,” and that “the donations were not properly transmitted to the party and not disclosed as required by the Electoral Act.” It has been referred to the Serious Fraud Office. The Deputy Prime Minister’s response has been to threaten and harass those raising questions. I received a letter from Mr Peters’ lawyer threatening a $30 million lawsuit. A Newshub journalist was called “a psycho” for asking questions. Mr Peters admitted his party took photos of journalists meeting with ex NZ First officials. This ugly intimidation and bullying is wrong. New Zealand has been here be-

fore with the 2008 scandal over Mr Peters’ denying he received a $100,000 donation from Owen Glenn. Then Prime Minister Clark rightly stood Mr Peters down. It was appalling that Labour MPs on the Justice Select Committee voted to block the request of the former President and Treasurer of NZ First from being heard. PM Ardern has refused to criticise her deputy. I am pleased National has ruled out forming a Government with Winston Peters and NZ First. New Zealander deserve much better from their democracy and Deputy Prime Minister. Advert.

Filling hunger and loneliness Since 1987, Loaves and Fishes on Vanguard St has helped get people through hungry and lonely times. Charles Anderson sits down for lunch for 2020’s first meal. Down the back of All Saints Church on Vanguard St, people slowly stream through the doors of the hall. There is a spattering of diners today. “Usually there is more,” says volunteer Jo Parkinson, who mans the ticket booth. But this is the first day back after the holiday season. It’s expected that numbers will soon grow. Here, you can get a hot cooked meal and dessert for $3, or even cheaper if you buy in bulk. The Loaves and Fishes project started in Oct 1987. Archdeacon Welch, vicar of All Saints at the time, was quoted in the Nelson Mail: “This meal service is starting due to an everincreasing gap between the haves and have-nots.” In the more than 30 years since then, hot, dinner-type lunches have been provided by teams of volunteers in the hall behind the church on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. And the gap between the haves and have-nots has not stopped growing. Alison Mountfort, who has run the programme for the past six years, says there is a real need for what they do, even if it’s not always clear. However, she says, for some, it’s not the food that is the drawcard, it is the company.

Alison Mountfort, Jo Parkinson and Wayne Moss are volunteers at Loaves and Fishes which has helped people in need for more than 30 years. “Some people say, ‘actually have food, but unless I come out I’ve got no opportunity to talk to anyone. “We are filling a social need and a hunger need.” Alison says diners come and go from time to time, as their circumstances change. What they frequently have in common is the challenge of dealing with the complexities of life such as filling in forms, accessing the internet, and negotiating for reasonable rent or benefit entitlements. “We offer the opportunity for our diners to meet and make friends.”

Down the back of the room is Jeff Gill. He has been coming for 15 years – for the food but mainly for the company. He helps out in the church’s veggie garden which keeps him active. But he really likes coming to Loaves and Fishes because it’s “real”. “Some live alone and don’t cook for themselves. Some live rough, you get to know who is sleeping in their cars and underneath bridges and that sort of thing.” He says you get to meet people you wouldn’t anywhere else. “With Nelson, they hide the fact there is people

TIP

A WATER SAFETY TIP FROM PORT NELSON

EXCLUSIVE ZONE Did you know that there is an exclusive zone within Port Nelson and a Moving Prohibited Zone around a large ship when moving around pilotage waters (the channel)? There are fines up to $500 for impeding into these zones, worse, there are possible disastrous consequences. As the ships moving within Port Nelson have increased in size, so has the danger to the recreational boaties. This year the harbour master’s staff will be out in force and there will be no excuse for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It is the skipper’s responsibility to know the rules and he will be held accountable. If a paddleboarder or kayaker is within the area of the cut, the “exclusion zone”, he / she will be held accountable. The enforcement officers on the pilot boat that accompanies the ship are entitled to get the details of the transgressor.

Here’s your opportunity to re-home household goods! On Second Hand Sunday, people can take away the stuff you don’t want for free!

If in doubt, don’t go out. Always wear your life jacket. HARBOUR MASTER, ANDREW HOGG

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Register by going online to the Tasman District or Nelson City Council websites (search phrase = Second Hand Sunday). You can also call the Councils’ Customer Service Centres. Instructions for the day are also online.

Registrations must be in by 10.00 am, Friday 6 March so each Council can publish the list of addresses of people taking part on the website.

living that way. It gives you a better insight into what’s underneath. Its real.” For Jo Parkinson it was an opportunity to do something useful. She started volunteering when she left work several years ago. She greets the diners as they come into pay. She knows them all by name. “There is a real mix of people but usually more men. The big thing is pride and intimidation.” However, she says that everything is hard the first time. “Once you have sat down and had lunch with someone, it’s so much easier to come by the next time.” Wayne Moss comes down to Loaves and Fishes once a week to cook. He is trained and felt like it was something he could do to help. “I just use whatever we have that day and try and be creative with it,” he says. Today it is quiche with breadcrumbs. Alison says they make good use of Kai Rescue and also have generous sponsors that provide food. But she says it is still amazing that people have not heard of them. “I would just say to anyone who wants to join us, that you are welcome.”

It’s not just vintage,” says Lloyd. “We have appealed to our members to ‘pull out all the stops’ and get as many cars onsite as we can,” says Jim. “We hope this year’s SwapMeet will be bigger, brighter and better than ever had before. If non-members front up from the classic cars or hot rod club with an eye-catching car or motorbike, we’ll be saying, ‘would you like to put it in

the display?’” Jim says they will still need to pay the usual $5 entry fee, but it will be great to boost the number of fancy cars on the day. “There will be some pretty flash pieces of machinery I’m picking.” 1947 Fire Engine A highlight this year will be the old Motueka fire engine (1947) which will be on show. The Nelson Swapmeet- Bazaar is a unique occasion. “It’s a good opportunity to learn about motoring history,” says Max.

Performing with Charlie is Grammy-nominated drummer and percussionist David Rozenblatt, who has worked with a huge number of music legends including Paul Simon, Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Usher and The Killers.

Tell me about your background and passion for pole dancing? Strong is the new sexy and I want to be a ninja on a pole. I never had a background in dance. I remember reading about pole dancing classes in a magazine, but it was Australian and there were no classes in New Zealand. I wanted to be the person to bring that here. But isn’t pole dancing ‘just for strippers’? Early on it was very much the perception, but originally It was a man-only sport in India, called mallakhamb. I think everyone is a lot more aware that pole fitness is a thing now as it’s become more popular. It’s a functionality thing, not an aesthetics thing to wear less clothes. You can still maintain your sensuality and femininity and stay and look strong. It’s even under observer status for becoming a sport in the Olympics. What are some of the benefits?

Ever wondered what our region’s top sports stars are paid? Jonty Dine went to four of our top franchises to find out. Tasman Mako Tasman Rugby Union commercial marketing manager Les Edwards says the Mako earn based on proven experience and ability. Players in the Mitre 10 Cup receive a salary range of $21,000 to 50,000. “Rookies start at the lower end of this scale while Super Rugby players are at the top.” The Mako will have no less than 16 players in Super Rugby this season. Tasman United Tasman United operations manager Matt Campbell says, as the ISPS Handa Premiership is an amateur league, no players get paid to play football. “Players in the Tasman United squad may receive a weekly training reimbursement as per NZF regulations.” He says this payment is to cover the actual costs of players to train and play at this level.

Players also get 10 percent of their retainer value put into a superannuation fund.

They can also earn match fees of $800 for a Ford Trophy match, $1650 for Plunket Shield and $575 for Supersmash matches. If they play all games, they would get $29,000 in match fees. Nelson’s Willie Luddick made appearances across all three formats for the Stags in 2019. Nelson Giants While Steven Adams is earning $22million a season with the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Nelson Giants is predominantly

made up of amateur players. Former Nelson Giants general manager Bill Dahlberg says while the top player in the NZNBL may fetch up to $50,000 a season, local players aren’t paid for games and instead have travel and accommodation expenses covered. He says players are also given gym memberships and access to health services such as physios. He says the franchise relies largely on gate sales to stay afloat. Imported players to the Giants can bank between $15 and $30k a season.

Valued Team brings Wealth of Experience

Three years ago, Brendon and Rochelle Mathews first opened The Bike Station in central Nelson and today the vibrant, expanding business has fantastic stock and a passionate, experienced team. Rochelle says contrary to what some may think, Ebikes aren’t a lazy option. “Ours are pedal-electric, so you still have to pedal but you get assistance as

you need it, so they’re suited to anyone, including those with a medical condition. “Using an E-bike allows me to get uphill quickly and ride for longer. They’re great enablers. I can do a

Staff are a massive part of The Bike Station. “Without them, we wouldn’t be here today,” Rochelle says. From the outset, Brendon and Rochelle have been focussed on having high-quality staff and, because they all have significant experience with bikes, the couple have 100% faith in their ability to provide fantastic service. Yohann, who is from the UK, says, “It’s been useful to experience how bike shops operate in other countries, including New Zealand. I picked Nelson because of its awesome mountainbiking trails and The Bike Station had cool brands, a nice workshop and it’s a great place to work.” Meanwhile, two-time national track cycling champion and national record

holder Kaio, loves working at The Bike Station while teaching young bike enthusiasts (in schools) how to ride and it helps build up the local junior base. Hunter, who has recently left college has been working fulltime at the store since November last year. “I’ve done a lot of mountainbike racing, so my passion has inspired me to work here as a bike mechanic and be part of the mountainbiking community. It’s an awesome business and getting to work on bikes all day long is great.” Lindsay, who has been with The Bike Station for just under two years, says he had been looking to get back into the bike industry as a mechanic after a stint in Whistler, Canada. “This is a nice place to work; a good bunch of guys. They have the same kind of passion that I have for mountainbiking, so it’s a no-brainer really.” Finally, Sam began working for the business in December after moving from Auckland. “I started as a customer and ended up working here; I love the team; we all get on well. It’s always a good sign of a great workplace

ahead. Established in 1964, Richmond Athletic AFC was the result of two local Nelson clubs merging. The two clubs had been around since about 1948 but made the decision to join based on player availability in the region at the time. Since 1964, the home ground of Richmond Athletic has been Jubilee Park. Richmond Athletic AFC enjoy focusing on player development and getting everyone involved in participating at the best of their abilities. With enthusiastic and qualified coaches there is a level for everyone to both enjoy and challenge themselves in a football environment. They also encourage those players who want to further their careers, when they’re ready, to take the next step and represent the region at either Mainland Premier League level with Nelson Suburbs, or the National League with Tasman United. The club caters for everyone and has teams that compete in the Nelson Bays Football leagues from First Kicks to Masters. Registration enquiries: fdm@

TBALL richmondathletic.co.nz If the outdoor game isn’t for you then the region also offers the rapidly-growing sport of Futsal. Futsal is the only FIFA and NZ Football-approved version of five-aside football, a small-sided game played with a size 4 low bounce ball, on a basketball-sized court without rebound walls or nets. With millions of players worldwide, futsal is a fantastic game in its own right, with professional leagues throughout Europe, South America and Asia and a FIFA Futsal World Cup every four years. Futsal also produces technically excellent players and as such is an invaluable tool for football development. New Zealand Football is confident that with the support of all its affiliates and the ongoing support of FIFA and Oceania, futsal will continue to grow in popularity in New Zealand. Contact - Nicole Cooley Email: nbfadmin@mainlandfootball.co.nz FC Nelson was formed in 2011 as a result of the merger of the

Nelson City, Nelson Metro, Nelson United and Tahuna Juniors football clubs. Each of these football clubs had their own proud history and the decision to merge was not taken lightly. But it was felt that by amalgamating into what has become FC Nelson, they would be able to offer ongoing opportunities to all their members which may not be possible while continuing to operate as smaller independent units. For the 2011 season the club had over 900 members spread across junior, youth, and men’s and women’s teams which made them the largest football club in the Nelson Marlborough region. In 2019 we had over 100 First Kicks & Fun Footballers, 23 Junior & Youth teams and 9 Senior teams. Our FC Nelson first XI (men) won the local 1st division and cup in 2019 and is aspiring to compete in the Mainland Playoffs in 2020. FC Nelson’s long term aim is to make football accessible and enjoyable at all levels of the game and to give players of all ages and coaches the chance to

More silverware for Stoke Nayland Peter Grigg

Car Company Stoke Nayland comfortably defeated Wanderers/ Motueka to claim the NCA 110-over title in club cricket on Saturday. They are in the TPL final next weekend and will go into that playoff at short odds. Wanderers/Motueka v Car Company Stoke Nayland The game lasted just 29 overs as Car Company Stoke Nayland blasted Wanderers/Motueka at Brightwater in a seven-wicket victory. Opening bowlers Dylan Eginton and Thomas Chambers made the initial inroads but all five bowlers used picked up

wickets. Boe Bamford batted for over an hour but there was little resistance elsewhere. Indeed, the 20 wides delivered were the next best top scorer after Bamford. Stoke Nayland chased down the miserly total in 10.1 overs as opener Paddy Howes batted like he was in a hurry. Wanderers/Motueka 74 (Boe Bamford 25, Dylan Eginton 3/19, Thomas Chambers 2/12) Stoke Nayland 78/3 (Paddy Howes 43*) Stoke Nayland won by 7 wickets Wakatu v ACOB ACOB chased down

their

171-run total against Wakatu at Victory Square with consummate ease. Wakatu had begun the day disastrously, losing their top three batsmen for ducks and reeling at three wickets down for four runs. Brad Smith and Campbell McLean steadied the ship with a sensible 84 run partnership in which Smith compiled a welldeserved and very tidy half century. Upon his dismissal, however, the ship begun to list again. Veteran bowler Reuben Smith caused the initial panic amongst the home batsmen while the reliable spinners David Zohrab and Jake Milton

ACOB were never really in danger with the run chase after Milton and the sanguine Sam Berkett got them away to a solid start. Wakatu 171 (Campbell McLean 94, Brad Smith 51, David Zohrab 4/20, Jake Milton 3/41, Reuben Smith 2/28) ACOB 176/5 (Greg Chitty 50, Sam Berkett 35, Milton 27, James Graham 25*, McLean 2/29) ACOB won by 5 wickets Nelson College v WTTU A fine 79 by Jonty Raxworthy anchored the Nelson College innings when they batted first on a suspicious looking pitch at Ngawhatu in their match against WTTU. He had a nice partnership with his twin brother for the second wicket and there were a few moderate contributions from

FEB 23

others. Wicket keeper and opening batsman Jack Aldridge ensured that WTTU coasted to their total with little angst. First of all, he shared a half century opening partnership with O’Connor, then another with Mason Thelin which took his team within sight of their goal. Aldridge was compact and never really looked uncomfortable in his 130ball innings.

Young sailors head to Texas Jonty Dine jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Sailors Freya High and Neve Kortegast will compete for the Koch Cup in Texas later this year.

The girls sought advice from the Marlborough crew to better understand what awaits them in America. “It’s a bit daunting but it’s going to be a really good experience,” says Neve. The Nelson College for Girls students say they will aim to finish in the top half. “We are just taking it as it comes,” Freya says. The biennial regatta was originally founded in the 1930s but was ended during World

War 2 and was not resurrected until 2002. Sailors compete for a trophy which is a replica of the America’s Cup and was even made by the same silversmith. Before they get their chance to lift it however, the girls face another challenge in the form of fundraising for the trip. They need to raise $13,000 between them before July and have been doing Sunday markets, car washes, raffles and have a harbour cruise for 30 people in March. To help the girls get to Texas contact 0221774870.

Freya High and Neve Kortegast will make history in Texas later this year when they become the youngest pair to enter the coveted Koch Cup. If the prospect of sailing against competition almost twice as old as them in 30 plus degree heat wasn’t daunting enough, Freya and Neve may also have to contend with alligators while out on the water. “It will keep us motivated to make the boat go quicker,” Neve jokes. Freya, 14, and Neve, 13, survived a capsize during the Roger Hawking Cup in Nelson in September to qualify for the prestigious regatta. The Nelson Iron Duke sea scouts will take on 40 international crews at Galveston Bay in the Lone Star State in July. “It’s not the first place you think of for sailing,” says Freya. Freya is currently in her sixth season of sailing while Neve is in her fourth, and the pair will carry a strong reputation into

A good time for the kayak Gareth Nicholson It’s a long-known reality that Nelson is one of the best places in the country to be during summer – and the fish don’t seem to disagree. Already having had a good season in the bay with many great catches being reported, February and March are arguably the best months of the year to get out there and bag a whopper. The summer holidays have ended, meaning more space on the boat ramp and out on the water, and with water temperatures normally peaking during February there is a great chance of picking up big fish in close. There have been many recent stories of large kingfish chasing baitfish around the docks in Nelson and Motueka and good size snapper being taken from in close. If you follow the Dawnbreakers Fishing Clubs competition leader board, you might notice that kayak anglers regularly have their names near the

top of the list. All of this is testament to the fact that you don’t have to go far to get yourself a few decent fish, and that ultimately there is no excuse to not get amongst it for the remaining summer months. The windless days at this time of the year also assist in being able to get to some good spots on smaller boats and dinghies. As a kayak fisherman myself, I have a few great spots that are accessible to smaller craft and I manage to do quite well out there. A few of these include Cable Bay, Delaware Bay, off the Boulder Bank and sometimes even in the harbour itself. A good rule of thumb I like to go by is that if you manage to find the baitfish, you will find the predatory fish that follow. These fish have come inshore to feed after all so being near a feed source is a must. If there is no bait around, drop anchor, burley up and wait for the fish to come to you! Get out there and good luck!

GENERATIONS OF NELSON Brought to you by Marsden House Allanah Rankin, Young Guard

During World War Two the Home Guard was stationed at the Spring Grove Drill Hall. Naturally, the children at the school next door were inspired to form their own version. Senior girl Allanah Rankin from Barton’s

Lane took control, and under her leadership – stripes on shoulders and wooden guns in hand – the junior Home Guard could ‘come to attention’, ‘march’, ‘slope’ and ‘present arms’ with the best of them.

Experience shines at Racing for the Kids Jody Scott

Speedway Reporter editorial@nelsonweekly.co.nz

The ‘Racing for the Kids’ event at Milestone Homes Top of the South Speedway mixed youth with experience. The Donaldson Civil Youth Ministock Mania was the feature grade along with the closed Super Stock club title and final round of the club T.Q. champs. The event, which was a fundraiser for the Child Cancer Foundation, showed that the youth grade has had an influx of new drivers this year with many starting to find their feet. There have been some good battles at the pointy end of the field with some of the older drivers fighting it out for the chequered flag. Blake Hearne was the most consistent of the night, picking up the overall trophy while Campbell McManaway was a close second and Max Baker had a good run to finish third and the junior section went the way of Luke Higgins with Jacob ? second and Toby ? Skurr Walker third. The Super Stocks kept things fairly quiet, Brett Nicholls getting some much needed laps in after a few tough meetings at the national level. He defended his trophy with three wins from three, with Alex Hill settling for second and Phil Krammer filling third spot. The final round of the T.Q. champs was going to be a close affair with only five points separating Alicia Hill and Morgan Frost going into the final races. Frost dubs the club champs as his ‘bogey title’ and a loose drive clipping the wall

Hill came through the field to finish second in heat one to all but secure the title. Jayden Corkill showed why he is dubbed the ‘feature freak’ with a well-timed run in the dying laps to pick up the feature race, then repeating the feat in the farewell event. He finished runner-up at the South Island title event last week in Christchurch. Dylan Bensemann finished second in the club champs with Greymouth’s James Thompson third. There were some big improvers throughout the meeting with Raiden Hearne finishing third in the feature and Mark Bezett having a good final couple of races with second placing in the feature. The stock cars were down in

numbers, a hectic last month leaving a few needing some TLC and the Tasman Thunder cars being prepped for the NZ teams title in a fortnight. Ian Burson won his seventh South Island Super Saloon title in Cromwell on February 8 and heads to Christchurch this week for the NZ Super Saloon title. Alicia Hill had a blinder in her Sprint Car at the latest Hydraulink War of the Wings series in Greymouth, finishing second in a fast 25 lap feature race. Vaughan Cornelius finished fifth in the recent New Zealand Production Saloon title held in Cromwell. The next meeting will see a few North Island Super Stock drivers crossing the strait to try to claim the South Island Super Stock title.
