Jonty Dine The Wairua Warrior saw more athletes than ever taking on the notorious obstacle course in Happy Valley on Saturday. Event director Greg Witika says Saturday’s race was the best in Wairua Warrior history with more than 700 braving the gruelling challenge. “It was an awesome event, participants were up and it all ran to plan.” He says he was rapt with the turn out, particularly considering the ever-popular Muddy Buddy was on the following day and the Weet-Bix TRYathlon the previous weekend.

Greg says the 12km course was much harder this year with more elevation added to further challenge athletes. Taking out the 12km course was Carl Smith in 1:27.36 while Samantha Beale was the first female to cross the finish. In the shorter 6km course, Danny Guix claimed first place for the men with Samantha Gaddes winning the women’s division. The day also saw more than 200 kids running in the inaugural ‘Mini Warrior’ for ages 5-13.

Nelson prepares for Covid-19 Charles Anderson and Kate Russell

Nelson and the country are in “uncharted territory” says the mayor as swaths of events are cancelled and local businesses start to feel the brunt of a global downturn due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The response to the Covid-19 crisis has kicked up another notch this week with the Government calling a halt to gatherings of more than 500 people, and warning of a recession greater than that of the Global Financial Crisis. A stimulus package centred around jobs and cushioning those suffering the most immediate effects and strengthening border controls has also been announced. That has led various Nelson events to be cancelled or postponed, such as Race Unity Day and the Walk for Life, as well as Saturday’s Nelson Market and Monty’s Sunday Market. However, Mayor Rachel Reese says one of the strengths of the region is that we are practised at emergencies and planning has been going on for some time. “We have done preparation trials for pandemics before … but this is uncharted territory given the scale of this across the globe.” She says local businesses will also feel the impact and implored owners to take up the Government’s

fiscal package. “The message to business owners is that this isn’t the year to try and get by and not take up assistance. Some have never had to ask for support. Well, the Government wants people to come forward.” Rachel says that people need to listen to the advice of experts when it comes to social gatherings. “We know this virus is more serious for older people. This is going to be one time where decisions made by younger people may save some lives.” She also says that anyone not feeling well should stay home and, like Nelson City Council, make sure that businesses continuity had plans in case people needed to selfisolate. Nelson shoppers have also emptied shelves in some stores, going for staples such as bread, rice and pasta and buying toilet paper, water, medicines and cleaning products in bulk. However, supermarket giants insist there is plenty of food to go around and have urged people to shop normally. Rachel urged calm. “I’ve got no information that grocery supply chains will be interrupted. Please do sensible shopping. For emergency management, make sure you have a couple of weeks stored - enough

The cancellations of forward bookings have also increased very quickly. The Ministry of Education is also phoning every school in the country to discuss plans for

closures to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 coronavirus. In its bulletin to principals on Monday, the ministry said its staff would call this week to ask principals about their school’s ability to teach children online if they were asked to close. The message said ministry staff would ask principals if their teachers would be able to provide online learning, how many students did not have their own

devices, and how many did not have a home internet connection. Cabinet has also given the green light for the Immigration Minister to be able to deport any foreigners who do not comply with a medical officer’s instruction to self-isolate for 14 days on arrival into the country, which will be made a condition of every visitor visa. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health says no updates will be provided on the two people in isolation for Covid-19 in Nelson unless they test positive.

Prank scanner in hot water Sara Hollyman Reporter

sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz

A man who used a scanner to verbally abuse a police officer on the police radio channel has been fined for his actions. Liam Carey, 24, appeared in the Nelson District Court on Monday to plead guilty to charges of disorderly behaviour, resisting police, misuse of a telephone device and a charge of trespass from a separate incident. According to the police summary of facts, Carey was at the Tahunanui Beach Reserve with two children at 2pm on January 16. He became angry when police approached him and his vehicle, yelling at police to keep away before approaching them in an aggressive manner. He then stepped between the car and a police officer to prevent her from inspecting the vehicle. He was warned about the language he was using in front of children and about his obstructive behaviour. He then walked away with the children in an agitated state, saying he would be listening on the scanner. Carey then used the scanner to transmit on the police radio channel, following the officer responding to a welfare check. In relation to the officer he said: “You’re not all good, you’re a b***h.”

Judge David Ruth says he found Liam Carey’s behaviour towards a police officer who was “just doing her job”, to be “quite appalling. Photo: File. He was located a short time later at the BMX track where he refused to comply with police and threw his scanner into a pond. As police attempted to arrest him, he struggled and was handcuffed with assistance from a member of the public. He continued to struggle and resist until he was inside the patrol car. Carey told police he was yelling and swearing because he felt harassed by police and he didn’t think his scanner would transmit on the police radio. He said he resisted arrest because he didn’t want the children to see him in handcuffs. Police also told how, on

December 16, he was seen by security driving out of Tantragee Reserve, which he had been previously trespassed from. Between then and January 27 he was seen on covert cameras well within the reserve on 12 occasions. Judge David Ruth convicted Carey and fined him $200 on each of the trespass, misuse of telephone and disorderly behaviour charges. However, on the charge of resisting police, Judge David Ruth says he found Carey’s behaviour towards the officer who was “just doing her job” to be “quite appalling,” so fined him $400.

Keep calm and corona on With Covid-19 fears spreading throughout the region, Weekly editor Charles Anderson calls for some calm, care and perspective on the global saga. Uncertainty breeds anxiety. We have seen that these past week as the Covid-19 pandemic escalates around the world and is starting to feel closer and closer to home. Despite that, there are some that would suggest to carry on our lives as normal. But listen to any experts and they will say – more measures are better than none and acting quickly and decisively is the only way to get ahead of such an exponentially growing spread. There are no perfect decisions in this game, only decisions. While news of events being cancelled will disappoint, it is undoubtedly the right thing to do. Even if such measures prove to be an overreaction, they will have been the right measures. Because no one wants to push ‘business as usual’ and then be responsible for something going wrong. However, there is a difference between decisiveness and panic. One is based on the best available information from experts. This includes washing your hands, not shaking hands, using hand sanitizer, avoiding large gatherings of people

and having plans in place for business disruption or working from home. The other is based off raw emotion and hysteria – acting irrationally because you see someone else doing it, therefore you feel like you need to follow the crowd. This includes buying up dozens of packs of toilet paper and hand sanitiser even when supermarkets have said there will be no supply issues on these products. Supply issues, in this case, are caused when people panic buy, not because supply chains are interrupted. People, not pandemics, can be the cause of more, unneeded, issues. So, what can we do? It is likely that this situation will not be resolved soon. Listen to experts and we are likely talking at least several months, if not longer. Because uncertainty breeds anxiety, make sure you are looking out for one another. Make sure people don’t feel alone, even if they have to self-isolate. Take breaks from social media. The cancellations of large gatherings, like Walk for Life and the Nelson Market, will likely be the beginning of

further recommendations to social distance. But while we may have to work from home, we may have to have our kids home from school, and we may need to adapt quickly to a new lifestyle, we can still help each other. We can still support local enterprises – buy from locallyowned shops and businesses where you can. Many will still sell their products online, even if they can’t hold stalls at the Nelson Market, for example. When things start to settle down, because they will, maybe we should be spending our recreational dollar on companies that can offer experiences around our own region, rather than jetting off around the country or even the world. Most of all, if you are unwell do not go out and they do not put others at risk. Start pretending that you have the illness and imagine what measures you would take to stop infecting others. This whole saga will require us to rethink our business as normal lives. We will all get through this. We don’t need to panic, but we do need to act.

Water restrictions begin in Nelson Staff Reporter

Despite recent rainfall, local river levels continue to drop - prompting Nelson City Council to announce rural water restrictions for those taking water directly from streams and wells. A council statement says rivers and streams have met a ‘low flow trigger level’ under the Resource Management Act 1991, which signals the need for water restrictions to be introduced. Affected residents are required to

stop using water for non-essential purposes from the following rivers and streams and their tributaries: Wakapuaka River, Teal River, Lud River, Todd Valley Stream, Poorman Valley Stream, Hillwood Stream, Maori Pa Stream, Waihi Creek. The restrictions only affect those Nelson residents who take their water directly from the above rivers and streams and their adjoining wells. Restrictions do not currently apply to those on the council reticulated supply, however, all residents are encouraged to use water wisely.

New headmaster for Nelson College Staff Reporter Nelson College’s new headmaster says he is relishing the opportunity to lead the school. After an extensive recruitment process the school’s board has appointed Richard Dykes as its next headmaster. Richard is currently principal of Glendowie College in Auckland and will bring a wealth of experience to the role, having taught in Christchurch, Nelson, Taupo and Auckland, holding leadership roles in his last three schools. He replaces Gary O’Shea, who stepped down after 13 years in Birchwood Kindergarten had a special visit from The Butterfly Musketeer Maria Romero last week who taught the children all about the life cycle of the monarch butterfly. Here, Ellie Crawford, 3, got in the spirit of the butterfly. Photo: Sara Hollyman.

the role. The Nelson College board says, in his five years as Principal of Glendowie College, Richard has strengthened the school’s academic results, instigated a plan for new buildings, remodelled the junior curriculum, and developed a leading mental health and wellbeing framework. He is the current president of the Auckland Secondary Schools Principals Association and has been a leading voice on national education issues such as the teacher supply crisis, recent education reforms, and wider social concerns.

Richard Dykes In 2019, Richard received a Woolf Fisher Fellowship, visiting Canada, UK and USA where he participated in a week-long course at Harvard Graduate School of Education in Boston.

The fellowship enabled Richard to investigate three key issues in education: governance, assessment and well-being. Nelson College Board of Trustees Chair Dennis Christian says: “On behalf of the Nelson College Board I am pleased to announce the appointment of Richard Dykes to the role of Headmaster. “Richard is an experienced principal who has worked at a variety of schools throughout New Zealand. We know he will bring a fresh perspective to the college balanced with an understanding and appreciation for our culture and heritage.”

Richard says he is looking forward to joining the college. “Nelson College enjoys a legacy of excellence. I believe the school is well placed to build on this legacy and take its place at the forefront of education in New Zealand. It is a school where our young men learn from the past to invent the future. I relish the opportunity to lead the school and its community as its next headmaster.” Richard will take up the position at the start of term three or earlier. The board also acknowledged the work of Tim Tucker in his role as acting headmaster.

Nelson desperate for GirlGuide Leaders, Wednesday, 12 February: After putting the call out for more leaders in Nelson, GirlGuides received 12 enquiries from locals who had seen the article in the Nelson Weekly. “From that we have eight people currently out visiting units, and five of them have confirmed interest and are working through our onboarding process,” says Andrea McClean, volunteer recruitment coordinator for the South Island.

Volunteering just for the love of it, Wednesday, 4 March: Around 200 people and 35 organisations attended the first Nelson Connects Volunteer Expo on 7 March. “The expo was met with great excitement from both attendees and exhibitors,” says project manager for the expo, Krisca Gould. “I heard many times throughout the day that it was a great way to connect potential volunteers with community organisations, and for the organisations, it was a great way to network. We expect that next year will even be bigger.”

Stoked for community breakfast Harri Jordan

Three local women are dedicated to crushing the stereotype that Stoke is simply a town you pass through as part of your commute or just “a place to retire”. Brylee Wayman, Nathalie Lacaze-Campbell, and Lee-Ann O’Brien are hosting a free community breakfast that will be taking place on Sunday from 9am until 11am at the Greenmeadows Centre. “Kai is really important, and connection is really important,” says Lee-Ann. “People always worry there’s a catch, but it’s simply come and get to know your neighbour.” The event is being funded by Nelson City Council and a Lotteries grant. “Everyone can participate in bringing Stoke’s identity together,” says Nathalie. At the breakfast, community members can help choose new branding designs for Stoke and discuss new opportunities to improve the suburb. The women say they are mindful of trying to engage young Stoke residents. “All the generations make a community,” says Nathalie. Stoke’s last event was cancelled due to the rain, however, Brylee is confident that this event will not be disrupted amid the current coronavirus concerns. “It’s not a mass gathering, and everyone won’t be here at once and it’s outdoors. It’s just a local event at a café,” she says. For more information about the event you can head to the @StokedNelson Facebook page.

Credits roll for United Video Harri Jordan If the story of Nelson’s United Video was a movie, Allen Knott knows what the final line would be. “We’re like the Titanic, we’ve gone down,” he says. The closing credits have begun to roll on a store that has been running for 27 years, but Allen says the time has come to say goodbye. On his first day in the store, he didn’t even know who Tom Hanks was. “I thought it had a big future, this industry, in its infancy days.” Now, the store on Wakatu Square is one of the last eight dedicated video stores left in the country. In two weeks, there will be seven. With the rise of online streaming, customers are no longer coming into stores to rent. But they came back on Sunday, for a twoweek closing-down sale that saw thousands of DVDs up for grabs at bargain prices. Customer Gerard McDonnell says the store used to be part of his routine. “We’d get a DVD out on a Sunday night and we’d all sit round as a family and watch a movie … I’m absolutely gutted.” Evan Wallace says the closure is “a major bummer”.

United Video store owner Allen Knott plans on relaxing after his store closes down in a week’s time. Photo: Harri Jordan. “We need one. Still a lot of people use these things, to be fair.” Dane Lakes says most of the people who come to video stores would be older and might not be able to use the internet. While the atmosphere is one of nostalgia, customers at United Video cannot help but feel

somewhat responsible. “I do feel a little bit guilty,” says Nicole McKage. “People don’t have any interest in coming into a store anymore.” What was it though, that made that experience so special? “It’s the whole person-to-person and social interaction that I’ll

miss the most,” says Evan. Owner Karen Knott says she will miss the customers and the people the most. “We’ve got to know some of them very, very well. We’ve got a lot of people that come in just for a chat.” Allen and Karen are unsure what their next venture will entail after b.

the sale, which ends in just over a week’s time. “I’ll sit on the deck and have a glass of wine and think about ‘what next’ over the next few months,” says Allen. But he knows what soundtrack he wants to accompany the end of an era – Neil Young’s, ‘Forever Young.’

‘Kidney donation can change lives’ With more than 400,000 New Zealanders living with kidney disease, Harri Jordan meets a local support group helping Nelsonians feel like they are part of a community. When Roelof de Haan first learned his daughter was diagnosed with a rare kidney disease he knew what he had to do. Initially, they thought that the 14-year-old just had some stomach problems, but then a friend told them to get her blood tested. It was then that they realised that she had nephronophthisis - a genetic disorder of the kidneys which is inherited by the recessive genes from both parents. It was 2008 and, while she was able to go onto dialysis for a time, it was clear that she needed a transplant. That’s when Roelof stepped in. “There are long-term risks to donating a kidney, but you give somebody the gift of life to someone struggling to just get by,” he says. “They don’t tend to last forever but it’s the closest thing to a cure.” But then, after seven good years, his daughter suffered renal failure of the donated kidney while she

was at university in Wellington and had to drop out. For the past four years, she has been on dialysis three times a week, which filters and purifies her blood. It helps keep fluids and electrolytes in balance when the kidneys can’t do their job. She is only 26-years-old. However, her story is not unique. There are more than 400,000 New Zealanders who suffer from kidney disease. The saga of the de Haan family’s struggles with kidney failure came to light on Sunday as part of a barbecue hosted by the Nelson Kidney Support group. Roelof and members of Nelson Kidney Support want to raise awareness about organ donation to those who don’t understand it. The event brought together about 15 people with tales to tell of their struggles with kidney disease and the way it has changed their lives. Founder of the group, Linda Putter, wants the public to know there is support out there.

The group are positive, optimistic and have a good laugh together, despite the difficulties that many of them endure daily. Marie Gill has been on the waiting list for a kidney for ten years. “People aren’t aware,” she says.

“For someone to donate organs you have to be in ICU on lifesupport and declared brain dead and your family have to agree to contribute your organs.” This is true even if your driver’s licence is marked ‘donor’. “That’s why it’s really important for people to have these

conversations to say ‘I would like to donate these organs’. Before it’s too late,” says Marie. To speak to Linda please e-mail: nelsonkidneys@gmail. com. Anyone interested in reading more about the subject of kidney donation can go to www.kidneys.co.nz

ON NOW

Nelmac triumphant in bike challenge Matt McCrorie Nelmac has claimed victory in this year’s Bike Aotearoa challenge, beating out both Nelson City Council and Tasman District Council for the top spot in the region. The Aotearoa Bike challenge is a national challenge that encourages workplaces to get their staff on their bikes more. The workplace gains points for every kilometre biked during the challenge. Last year, Nelmac logged 6,322km in their first attempt at the challenge. However, in 2020 the company returned with a vengeance, flying past both the Nelson City Council and the Tasman District Council to claim victory in the region, as well as coming second overall in their category nationally, hitting 14,825km this year. Lance Roozenberg from Nelmac, who helped organise the challenge for the company, says that the victory feels “amazing”. “The whole basis for doing it is to get people considering alternative modes of transport, so rather than

taking a car you might take a bike,” Lance says. “Last year we kept up with Nelson City Council and Tasman District Council, but it’s great we were able to stay ahead of them.” Lance says that the Nelmac team really got behind the challenge this year. “Everyone was really keen on it. We had heaps of new riders, and a lot of people who did it last year just carried on cycling throughout the year.” While a huge cycling campaign like Bike Aotearoa is good for the environment, and the health and fitness of those taking part, Lance says that Nelmac also wanted their campaign to have a positive impact on the community. “We decided to bike for a cause, and we raised $400 for Big Brothers Big Sisters Nelson.” Chelsea Routhan, from Big Brothers Big Sisters, says that the support is “fantastic”. “We are completely reliant on the community to offer our service, and we’ve currently got 42 children on our waiting list, so every dollar counts.”

Inspiring the next generation of engineers Harri Jordan

Nelson engineer Alex Evans loved maths growing up and says that engineering, for her, is just like “one big puzzle”. So, when she first read the newsletter from Engineering New Zealand asking for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) ambassadors she signed up straight away. “A lot of kids find maths boring and don’t see the real-world application,” says Alex, who works for Tonkin and Taylor as part of its water management and surveying team. “They think ‘when am I ever going to use algebra in the real world?’ But as engineers and scientists we use it all the time”. Now, with help from professionals like Alex, young Kiwis with a passion for space and science are

being encouraged to follow their dreams. Partnering with local schools, these industry professionals are working with students and teachers as part of The Wonder Project Rocket Challenge. The project sees children designing, building and launching their very own water rocket. Alex says she loves “seeing the light-bulb go on and them say ‘I get it’.” Engineering New Zealand are seeking out more industry professionals to get involved in the STEM project. “There’s a real shortage of engineers and scientists we need to encourage the new generation to step up,” Alex says. More information on how to become a STEM ambassador can be found at: https://wonderproject. nz/rocket-challenge-info/

Erin Marshall, 14, and her sister Leah, 16, have been nominated as the paper’s Deliverers of the Month. They have been doing their delivery run for two years now and say it’s a great way to earn some extra pocket money. The Nelson College for Girls students split the run, so they can get it done twice as fast. Nelson Weekly delivery manager

Nelson Matters: When I read ‘Nelson Matters’ by our M.P Nick Smith in the 11 March Nelson Weekly, I could not but admire his way in which he describes the life of Nelson’s former mayor Kerry Marshall, who passed away. In 1951, my wife Ina and I decided to start life together and settled in Tahunanui in August 1952. It was then that we met the parents of Kerry, who ran a bakery nearby. Their kindliness made us feel welcome and at home. It is no wonder that their son Kerry became the person as described by Nick. Addo Mulders Sr.

Nelson Matters The coronavirus is a real crisis. Its implications are already impacting on thousands of Nelsonians’ lives and businesses. It is dominating my work as I do everything possible to assist people and help ensure the Government’s response protects people’s health, businesses and jobs. Managing this sort of crisis is not easy for Governments. I have been in the Cabinet room through the Global Financial Crisis, the Christchurch earthquakes, the Pike River Mining Disaster and the Kaikoura earthquake. Decisions have to be made with imperfect information. The situation can change rapidly. It is so crucial to public trust in such crises that Govern-

ment is open, timely and straight with information. The situation should not be exaggerated or minimised but told as it is. This includes being honest about uncertainties. The Government’s response to such a crisis needs to be consistent and build public confidence. The temptation to react to the daily demands of the news cycle risks a reactionary approach that flips wildly and lacks strategic direction. I do not think the Government realised the severity of this developing crisis in January and February. We were behind the US, UK and Australia in screening flights and in issuing official advisories on travel to coronavirus hot spots. We

were too slow in applying travel restrictions for people from Italy when it was plain the disease was out of control there. A better job has been done on cruise ships. The management of the NZr’s on the Diamond Princess in Japan was spot on. The ban on cruise ship passengers coming ashore here was a bit slow but is now in place. The strongest criticism I have received from Nelson constituents has been from people travelling through our international airports. They were critical that in airports like Taiwan, Hong Kong, Sydney and Singapore, every passenger was questioned and temperature checked, whereas the checks on entering

My request of Government is to be more strategic and more open, with less yo-yoing and greater consistency. We need straight forward communications and clearer leadership. The economic implications for our region are huge. We need to cease wasteful spending like Shane Jones’ pet fund and put the money into support for businesses and families facing hardship. We should also freeze any new regulations and costs that could put businesses under or cause job losses.

I am also available to help businesses with particular problems and needs. I see Australians are hoarding toilet paper. Americans are buying more guns. I encourage Nelsonians to respond sensibly and compassionately. We should heed the advice of our health professionals, washing hands regularly and being extra cautious about working or going out when sick. This is a time for Nelsonians to step up our care for each other. Advert.

Maria Williams and her son Matthew Sharp want others to be more aware about the realities of living with a traumatic brain injury. Photo: Harri Jordan.

‘Everything changed in a second’ Matthew back from the brink after brain injury

Matthew Sharp was in a coma for four days after he fell through the roof at Nayland College last year. Harri Jordan speaks to him and his mother about his journey back to recovery as part of Brain Injury Awareness month. It was just an ordinary Saturday, but in one in one split second Matthew Sharp’s life was changed forever. “Me and my mates were drinking and that’s the last thing I can remember,” says Matthew. The accident happened on September 7 of last year when he fell through the skylight of a roof at Nayland College. Matthew was in a coma in intensive care for four days after he sustained a severe traumatic brain injury. He had concussion, a fractured skull and two bleeds on his brain. “He had to learn how to walk again. He has double vision all the time so has trouble seeing,” says his mum Maria. “Mentally it was terrible. He got so low and anxious for the first four months. It was awful

to watch. He would have panic attacks and I didn’t know what to do.” And while Matthew suffered the accident, Maria was left to pick up the pieces. “I had to leave my full-time job which I loved. We had to leave Nelson. Leave our house. Leave our family. Leave our friends,” says Maria. This month is Brain Injury Awareness month which is about understanding the growing prevalence of traumatic brain injuries. According to Brain Injury New Zealand, one person sustains a brain injury every fifteen minutes in Aotearoa. Maria says that she and Matthew struggle because there’s a lack of understanding from people who don’t know

their full story. “Since his accident, Matthew’s social functioning is a bit off,” she says. “You think he’s just a normal teenager getting up to mischief but because people can’t see it, they don’t understand it.” Matthew says people can get angry at him because since the accident he doesn’t have a filter. “I say whatever’s on my mind now. I talk back to people now when I wouldn’t have usually.” However, there have been some positives for Matthew and Maria. They say the injury has brought them closer together. “I’ve changed. I’m a different person to be honest. I feel like I’ve changed mentally. I’m better at socialising. I’m wiser and I don’t have

social anxiety anymore,” says Matthew. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case with brain injury trauma, as every story is unique. “It’s bigger than I’ve ever realised. No brain injury is the same,” say Maria. Reflecting on the accident Matthew is now far more conscious about putting himself at risk. He wants to warn others about consequences that can happen when you aren’t thinking. “Don’t think you’re invincible, because you aren’t.” The Brain Injury Association’s street appeals are being held this week on Wednesday outside New World Nelson from 10.30 to 12.30pm and on Friday at New World in Stoke from 10.30 to 12.30pm.

Funds needed for underwater ‘bots’ Locally Owned and Operated

A local underwater robotics programme is seeking funding to continue to teach school children about science, engineering and technology in a “hands-on” way. NZ AquaBots is the first programme of its kind in the country and is run by Ministry of Inspiration - a Nelson-based charitable trust that reaches over 2000 students annually. The trust is a nominee for this year’s Car Company’s Charity Drive, which sees $10,000 up for grabs for community organisations. Amy Cornelisen from Ministry of Inspiration says it would be “huge” for them to receive some of the money. “Currently, we run at a loss. It’s grown exponentially and with more funding we could impact more students.” Aquabots are remotely operated, tethered, underwater vehicles designed and built by students from a supplied kit, who then form teams to compete in local and national competitions. Amy says they would use the

Photo: Kate Russell. funds to purchase aquabot kits to pass on to students, so that money is not a barrier to learning. “We need up to $5000 to be able to offer 22 aquabot kits (equalling 110 students) and mentorship to those that cannot afford it and don’t have access to a pool to practice in. “If we buy the kits directly from the USA, they are around $280, but if we

apply for grants and receive donations, we can build our own here for $160.” The cost to hire the pool for competitions also does not come cheap at over $2000. Nelson Central School student Moana Williams, 10, has been involved in the programme for the past year and says it has taught her about science and technology “in a fun way”. “I like the building part

of it, and things like the underwater maze and going through hoops.” The Car Company’s Charity Drive launched earlier this month and local organisations are invited to apply until 6 April. Application forms are available at www. carcompanynelson.co.nz or at Car Company branches in Nelson, Richmond and Tahunanui.

Angel of Music at NCMA Young Nelson performer Sophie McCarlie will be performing her ‘Angel of Music’ show at the NCMA this weekend. The show is a young woman’s powerful sung-through journey of growth, self-belief and ultimate empowerment, featuring songs from Phantom of the Opera, Ghost, Little Women, In the Heights, Les Miserables and Wicked and Waitress. Sophie has been a lead actress and top soprano for the Nelson Youth Theatre Company and the show aims to inspire and empower

young women through the gift of song. She is no stranger to success, gaining grade eight with distinction in Musical Theatre in 2019 and scoring one of the highest marks in the world for grade seven in 2018. Sophie was due to perform at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this August but has had to cancel her trip due to family circumstances and the threat of the coronavirus. Angel of Music is on Saturday, 21 March, 7.30pm at the NCMA. Tickets from www.ticketrocket.co.nz

NSO to explore string theory in new concert Nelson Symphony Orchestra’s first concert of the year will explore the close relationship between music with physics. Conducted by Nigel Weeks, ‘String Theory’ on 28 March at the NCMA will feature Mendelssohn’s Hebrides Overture and Double Concerto for Piano, Violin and Orchestra and Bizet’s Symphony in C. “In physics the goal of string theory is to be a ‘theory of everything’ - that is, to be the single physical theory that, at the most fundamental level, describes all of physical reality,” explains NSO secretary, John Rimmer. “If successful, string theory could explain many of the fundamental questions about our universe.” Joining the orchestra for this show will be soloists John

Thomson on violin and Monica Chang on piano. John serves as concertmaster of the NSO and has taught violin and viola at the NCMA, as well as being a violin professor at several universities in the USA where he lived for 25 years. Well known pianist Monica Chang has received numerous awards and prizes during her university career and was one of twelve pianists chosen to participate at the Yamaha Piano Competition in Kerikeri in 2006. She has performed as a concerto soloist, including to support community groups such as the United Youth Orchestra. String Theory is on 28 March, 7.30pm at the NCMA. Tickets are available from www. ticketrocket.co.nz

These are just some of the questions Nelson City Council is asking in our Age-Friendly Community survey, open now.

Second Hand Sunday downsizer’s delight

Nelson City Council remembers former Mayor Kerry Marshall Former Nelson Mayor Kerry Marshall died recently aged 81. Nelson Mayor Rachel Reese pays tribute. "Kerry served as Mayor for Nelson City Council between 2007 and 2010, and I learnt so much from him as his supporting Deputy Mayor during that time. "His time in local body politics spanned decades, and as I found out when I was campaigning with Kerry in 2007, Kerry knew everyone and everyone knew Kerry! He was a man with many passions: for the arts, for conservation, and for Te Tiriti o Waitangi. He was visionary in his approach to climate change, declaring in 2010 that it was time for a disciplined and precautionary approach. Kerry also saw the danger of not investing in city centres, launching the Heart of Nelson strategy in 2009 that forms the basis of the work that continues to this day in making sure Nelson has a thriving central city. "He was most of all a man who loved people and the people of this beautiful region most of all, his life was one of incredible service to the people of Nelson." Rachel Reese Mayor of Nelson

COVID-19: Public health Nelson City Council’s priority As COVID-19 arrives in New Zealand, Nelson City Council is working hard to prevent its spread and limit its impact on our community. Council's priority is public health - the health and wellbeing of our people - our staff and our community. Our approach from the beginning has been planning and preparedness without panic. Nelson Mayor Rachel Reese says it’s important for Nelsonians to collaborate in the event of an outbreak in the region. “Coronavirus is a much more serious disease for older adults and people with underlying health issues. That is why it’s so important for everyone to listen to the Ministry of Health. The actions that young, healthy people take now could save the lives of some of our most vulnerable residents.” One of Council’s responsibilities will be ensuring essential services such as water, waste water, waste management, roading and public transport can operate as normal. Group Manager Infrastructure Alec Louverdis says Council has already made contingency plans in the event of a local outbreak.

Council projects shortlisted for architecture awards Three Council building projects have been named as finalists for the 2020 Nelson Marlborough Architecture Awards. The Greenmeadows Community Centre, Queens Gardens toilets and Saltwater Creek Bridge all designed by Jerram Tocker Barron Architects are in the running for the Awards, with the winners announced on 6 May. The popular Saltwater Creek Bridge located on the Maitai River is also a finalist in the NZ Wood Resene Timber Design Awards.

“The plans we have put in place with our contractors will manage staff numbers if substantial numbers of people become sick.” We are ensuring our public restrooms are well stocked with soap. We have also asked our bus drivers to disinfect all handholds between trips. Mayor Reese says local businesses will be worried about what the outbreak will mean for them. “Council is working hard to mitigate the worst of these effects and there is Government help for businesses that are struggling, don’t be afraid to use it.” Nelson Council is led by central Government’s advice on large events and will close down any deemed a risk for the spread of the virus. Council is following the lead of the Ministry of Health and the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board on how best to keep yourself, and the more vulnerable members of our community, safe and well.

Nelson's iconic Coppermine Trail reopens Named among the New Zealand Cycle Trail Trust’s 22 Great Rides, the “Pipeline” section of the Coppermine Trail has been closed for the past two years following a significant slip. The Pipeline section, from the Maitai Dam to Smiths Ford, reopened on 7 March. Riders have been detouring along Maitai Valley Road while engineers and contractors worked to repair the complex and active slip. Repairs on the slip and upgrades to the trail’s downhill section were jointly funded by Nelson City Council and Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment. To help ensure the ongoing safety and protection of the public and the water pipeline, the slip site is being closely monitored and the Pipeline section will be closed in the event of significant rainfall or an earthquake. Should such an event occur, the Pipeline will be inspected and reopened when it is deemed safe. Signs along the trail will alert riders and should be respected.

“It worked out well with the timing, especially with my son leaving town to go to university, “ she said. “It gave us the opportunity to get rid of unwanted items at home.” While not everything went to new homes on the day, Sarah still enjoyed the experience. “It was exciting seeing people come along and find that treasure,” “The knick-knacks and children’s items went quickly, although some of the larger items weren’t as popular.” Sarah won a reusable bag as part of the Nelson City Council Second Hand Sunday social media competition. There were 65 households and several more foragers participating, making sure household items are reused rather than sending them to the landfill. The next Second Hand Sunday is on 7 June.

No small anniversary: ‘Perfectly poured Stoke School turns 175 pint please, Mitchell’ Harri Jordan

Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

A quartoseptcentennial anniversary is no ordinary milestone. That’s why Stoke School want to go big for their 175th birthday in September and would like the public to help them piece together its history ahead of the celebration. “Some of the school’s history is unknown and we want to understand how it has changed over time,” says principal Sarah Davies. “We’d love any past pupils living in our region to reach out.” What they do know is that the school originally opened in 1845 on Waimea Rd, when Stoke was known as Brook Green. Around five years later it moved to the site of the present St. Barnabas’ Church, before eventually settling at its current site on Main Rd Stoke where the well-known hoop pine tree stands. Behind Wakefield School, it is the second oldest, still-running state primary school in the country. Sarah says many unnamed photos and interesting artefacts have surfaced over the years, including a pot used for filling inkwells, found by contractors while

The big thing for us is getting people together to share stories and memories with our tamariki.” For the anniversary, the school is planning a series of events from September 23 to 26 and registrations are now open for anyone who wants to attend. “Some of the activities we have planned are an open day through the school to see children’s work, the lifting of the time capsule that was put down 25 years ago, a luncheon, dinner, and a photo/ memorabilia display,” says organiser Lucy Jackson.

The school is also putting on a production, which will tell the story through the years and will be themed around the 175th celebrations. “We’re seeking any support we can get from the community to help celebrate this massive milestone for the school.” For more information on the event, go to the ‘Stoke School 175th Anniversary’ Facebook page and to register, go to https://forms.gle/ uL5VgZYnZkGyJSeu7 If you would like to share any photos or memories, you can email stokeschool175th@gmail. com or call 547 7582.

When punters ask Mitchell Bridge how to pour the perfect pint, he is now confident that he has the definitive answer. At 19, the Nelson bartender is the youngest person ever to win the Stella Artois National Draught Masters competition. “It was so unexpected,” says Mitchell. “I collapsed to the floor and actually cried.” The competition, which sought to find the best pint puller in the country, took place at the Ellerslie Racecourse in Auckland on Saturday - the same day as a big meet. Mitchell and his competitors were projected onto the big screens for everyone at the races to see. So, what is it that makes a champion draught pourer? The competition requires each of the finalists to perform the nine-step pouring ritual. Each was judged on their precision, technique and presentation skills. “It’s more than just pouring a beer,” says Mitchell. “They look for your personality and extra bit of flair. Anyone can serve a customer but not everyone can give it that extra bit of personality that they can remember.” Mitchell says he tries to create “memorable moments”. “I did a ‘Nelson shuffle’ while I cleaned the glasses.”

Mitchell’s trip up to Auckland was all-inclusive. There were brewery tours, extravagant lunches of olives and octopus and, of course, free Stella Artois all weekend. The final stage of the competition is the world championships which Mitchell suspects could be in Belgium - the home of Stella Artois. “I’m terrified and ecstatic … I’m going to give it my all.” The team at Smugglers Pub & Café, where Mitchell works, is all very proud of his achievements and wish him well in the world champs. “I’m so proud of myself,” Mitchell says. “I can do anything I put my mind to.”

ty Open Day has historically had over 2000 people visit the Port, and the activities on offer have seen crowds gathered in queues, near equipment displays and on shuttle buses . “Given the close proximity of people in an open invitation environment, the Port believes the risks would be inappropriate to the community. We look forward to scheduling the day later in the year when the COVID-19 challenge is behind us”. “From a wider COVID-19 perspective the Port has three key focus areas – keeping our people

safe, keeping our community safe by supporting the protection of New Zealand’s border and keeping the economy moving” says Mr Morrison. Activity at the Port continues to be strong with February results showing a 10% lift in container volumes above budget. Log volumes, while down on last year were at moderate levels. The Port continues to expect a strong apple and Kiwifruit season with advice from the shipping lines positive about the supply of empty refrigerated containers

Every few weeks we sit down with someone interesting, doing something interesting. This week we meet Harri Jordan, who happens to be the Nelson Weekly’s newest reporter. She speaks about crossing the Atlantic, her perceptions of New Zealand and how she is finding the job. So, what are you doing in Nelson? I visited Nelson for a weekend last year. I did fall in love with it a bit. We did a big hike to the Mt Arthur summit and drove around seeing all the vineyards with the backdrop of the mountains. I love that. I used to work on a ski resort and got really used to it. So, when I got the opportunity to come and work here, it really appealed to me. What were you doing before this? I was working on super yachts. Before that, I was freelance chefing and grew up sailing as a kid and raced dinghies. I still do lots of windsurfing and love the water. A lot of my friends were working on super yachts. I wanted to travel so it made sense to get my tickets to do it. I was cooking and also sailing and deck handing. We went over to

the Caribbean and went back to Europe, so I did two transatlantic crossings, which takes about 17 days. What was that like? Its amazing. It’s full of ups and downs. There are really frightening moments with big swells and huge knots of winds, and you have life jackets on 24-7 and have to harness onto guy lines. But then you have times when it was really quiet and tranquil, and you have moments to really reflect. There is no light pollution, so the stars are incredible and the marine life is amazing. On my birthday I had two Atlantic minke whales behind the boat for three days. It was one of the best things I’ve done, ever. But at the end of it I knew I wasn’t using my brain enough. I was always writing so I knew at the end of the travelling I would try and make journalism work. So, after I finished up there I started looking for something. Where are you from originally? I’m from Warwickshire, in England. It’s definitely different to here. Going back, I do feel very landlocked there and I do feel like the values are very different to here. When you come here,

And for me that is so much more important than what sort of car you drive and what you look like. It’s really valued if you do stuff here rather than what job you have. You’ve only been working at the Weekly for two weeks - how have you found it? It sounds cliché but I love the fact that every day has been so different. Even the days where

Big upsets to kick off Tasman Trophy Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

A pair of major upsets marked the opening round of the Tasman Trophy as defending champions Marist were held to a draw by Kahurangi while Wanderers hammered Nelson 37-14. Ill-discipline would plague Nelson who were at one stage down to 13 men, while Wanderers’ blockbusting young mid-field duo of Tone Vaka and El Nino Peniamina wreaked havoc on the hosts defence. Skipper Fletcher Smith says it was the perfect way to start the season. “We had a off-season season with a solid group of boys, we have been working hard on our fitness. We are never going to be the biggest team

They would heaped more misery on the depleted hosts when Levi McPherson went in to blow the scoreboard out. Nelson did score a late consolation through Sosefa Vaka but the result was well and truly assured. Elsewhere, Marist trailed Kahurangi 13-10 at halftime in Motueka before being held to a 32-all draw in a major upset to open the season. Waimea accounted for Stoke in the curtain-raiser, 55-20. Scorers: Wanderers 37 (Peniamina 2, Smith, Vaka, McPherson tries, Barr 2 pens 3 cons) Nelson 12 (Joass, Vaka tries, Soper 1 cons) Results: Marist 32 drew with Kahurangi 32 Waimea 55 def Stoke 20 Renwick 40 def Waitohi 22 Central 57 def Moutere 27

The boys from Brightwater struck again just before halftime through a stunning solo effort from Peniamina, breaking the line and skinning the cover defence to give his side a 15-7 halftime advantage. Wanderers’ midfield continued to cause carnage in the second half, this time it was Vaka scoring from a pinpoint cross kick from Barr. Penalties began to mount against Nelson and Barr added another three to the total. Eventually Hames sent skipper Isaac Salmon to the bin and they lost another shortly after due to a high shot. Wanderers took immediate advantage as Matthews effectively sealed the result when he latched on to a superb offload from Peniamina to stretch it to 30-7.

in the comp but we pride ourselves on our fitness, I think that showed today.” Smith says the blistering performances of his young centres was not unexpected. “They are pretty dynamic, we just said to them at the start of the game to express themselves and if they want to have a crack, go for it, they set us a really good foundation.” In what was former All Black Kane Hames’ first premier refereeing assignment, Wanderers first five Justin Barr opened the scoring before Nelson winger Rico Joass pounced on a loose pass and weaved his way to the line for the opening try. Wanderers didn’t take long to reply as Peniamina got over for his first on the back of a strong break from his halfback.

Tasman holds Wanderers to draw

A youthful Tasman United side managed to hold Hamilton Wanderers to a draw in a stunning result at the weekend. Fielding a 16-year-old, three 17-year-olds, and two 18-year-olds, the side showed temperament well beyond its years to produce a 3-all result. Jesse Randall and Fox Slotemaker gave the visitors a 2-1 halftime lead before Hamilton looked to have sealed the result as time ran out. Lachie Brooks had other ideas however, and slotted the equaliser in the 91st minute. Tasman currently sits fifth on the premiership table, just two points outside the top four. Next week they host Canterbury United at Trafalgar Park.

Touch couple help Nelson dominate Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Angela and Ben Stark got married in January but perhaps the biggest test to their relationship was when the power dynamic on the touch field switched. In the past, Angela had always been coach or captain. However, after moving to Nelson, Ben was named skipper of the Nelson mixed side. “It has taken a bit of getting used to because I have always had the power over him.” Ben says they generally keep things civil on the pitch. “We have the odd differing view on things, but we always kiss and make up … once Ben remembers his place,” jokes Angela. They say their experience together on and off the touch field gives them an advantage. “It’s definitely helped, we know each other’s games pretty well.” The pair met playing touch in London.

“I was the coach at the mixed club, Ben moved with his cricket bag, fell in love with me and decided to play touch instead.” The husband and wife were an integral part of the Nelson Mixed Open side which had its best-ever finish at nationals earlier this month. Traditionally one of the ‘minnows,’ Nelson would go all the way to the final, losing only to powerhouses Auckland 15-9. “To get all the way to the big dance was a bit unexpected and a bit of a Cinderella story,” says Ben. Nelson had never previously reached the play-offs in more than 20 years of trying. To make the feat even more impressive, Nelson lost a number of players to injury and unavailability, including its three rugby stars Matt Soper, Connor Higgins and Joey Scott. “It put the campaign in doubt, but we had some other guys step up.” Angela credits coach Wayne

Anderson who brought an “Aussie style of play” to Nelson. Wayne says it was by far the best achievement for the Nelson touch team. “We have been close at times, finishing seventh last year, but this was something special.” He says the side didn’t have a great build-up and everything was against them. “We had a couple players pull out and were lucky to have one training with whole team, it was a bit disjointed.”

Wayne also enlisted the services of his three sons for the tournament which, at one stage, saw all four of the Andersons on the pitch at the same time. With the season officially wrapped up, Ben, Angela and Wayne say it was the perfect way to cap the year and they will be back in 2021 to hopefully go one better.

Shooting event promotes sustainable practice Staff Reporter

A shooting event this weekend aims to promote sustainable shotgun shooting practices. The sporting clay shoot open day, taking place this Saturday in Tapawera, is a chance to promote the new duck shooting season and test fire new Beretta and Benelli shotguns. Mike Darling, from Hunting and Fishing, says that the event

is also a great time to promote using fibre wads, rather than the traditional plastic wads. “These fibre wads are great. The wads are what hold the pellets in place in the shell. When the gun fires the wad goes out with the shot.” Usually, Mike says, the plastic wads are spread “all over the place” after a shooting event and are collected by shooters. “It’s really an advantage to our

Sporting events in spotlight Jonty Dine

No decisions have been made on Nelson’s sporting competitions, despite the impact of Covid-19 around the world. Tasman Rugby Union marketing manager Les Edwards says they will be guided by the World Health Organisation, the Government and New Zealand Rugby. Les says it is is also very important to remind players, coaches and other club personnel who may be feeling unwell to stay away from training, club meetings and activities. Giant’s general manager Julie Bensemann says they have no updated information to date. “The imports are due to arrive have the compulsory Government 14 day self-isolation period.” She says restrictions on mass gatherings will potentially affect home game numbers. Nelson Suburbs operations manager Gary Hinks says nothing has been mentioned in regard to the MPL. Nelson Football says its community’s health comes first in football decisions “We are monitoring this fast-developing situation closely.”

Burson rebuilds after body-bruising roll Jody Scott

Speedway Reporter editorial@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Ian Burson’s tilt at the New Zealand title in Christchurch a few weeks ago ended in spectacular fashion on the second night after being squeezed up and over in a body-bruising roll that left him in hospital for several days. While nothing was broken, the impact jarred his body such that he still felt it on his return to the track at Milestone Homes Top of the South Speedway. The team had rebuilt the car after bars were bent and panels left in pieces following the crash. Any thoughts that Burson would take it easy were quickly dispelled as he broke the lap record twice while picking up a clean sweep of wins. He heads south this week to defend the Daryl Ainsley Memorial trophy.

The T.Qs continue their upward surge and the usual culprits were contesting the pointy end of the racing. Jayden Corkill pounced on the restart in the feature race to take the win after a wild ride from Greymouth competitor Rodney Thompson. He launched off the rear wheel of Alicia Hill and almost had a peek over the top of the fence before coming back down with a thud. The Ministocks had a few visitors but it was Callum Russ who got the spoils. The Productions ran the return teams race against the Blenheim cars and, although they didn’t win the race, they had enough finishing points and the lead from the first meeting to win the trophy. Keightley Teece took out the Stock car crown with two wins, while the club champs for Street Stocks was won by KC Rose.
