Aimex relieved after 'common sense' prevails Charles Anderson
From Wannabee to real deal

Tom Gargiulo has done everything at the Mike Pero Nelson Giants - from commentate to leading the cheer section, aptly named ‘The Wannabees’. However, in what he says is a dream come true, the 29-year-old was selected in the 2020 squad for a debut more than a decade in the making. Arguably the franchise’s biggest fan, Tom has not missed a home game since 2009. He had almost given up on his dream of pulling on the Giants singlet before coach Mike Fitchett chose Tom as one of his nine pre-selections in the historic NZNBL draft. “It’s indescribable, it’s been a long time coming, I have been in the mix for a while but not able to crack a final roster spot but it’s cool to finally get the nod.”

A Nelson marine engineering company that was on the brink of mass redundancies is breathing a sigh of relief after it appears its pleas for help were answered. Aimex, which is a ship builder and repairer, was looking at cutting 40 percent of its workforce due to overseas vessels not being allowed to come into New Zealand. General manager Simon Lavery had requested that the vessel, Captain Vincent Gann and its workers, be allowed to come from American Samoa, be quarantined and, if necessary, tested for Covid-19 so they could undertake repair work. However, until last Friday, Aimex wasn't sure if that would happen. “It looks like we have had a bit of a win,” says Simon. New rules established by the Government allows shipping routes to keep open and include a new maritime exception that will allow entry to those arriving at the maritime border, where there is a compelling need for the vessel to travel to New Zealand. Most maritime journeys to New Zealand take more than 14 days, so crew and others are expected to self-isolate on route. Simon says that he is yet to hear the details but is confident that Aimex’s clients will fit the bill. “Common sense has prevailed on the day. We have got the outcome that we needed and have a lot of people to thank. We received a lot of good support.” He says that the workforce was relieved when he told them that plans to make them redundant had been shelved. “There is already a sense of relief on their faces. They have kids and families and bills to pay. That’s the reality of it.” Simon says that the Government move will also give confidence to other vessels that they have planned to work on. “It cements our business.”

A trio of budding local businesspeople have been given the opportunity to expand thanks to a new initiative which encourages entrepreneurial spirit. A new purpose-built facility to mentor and upskill food businesses, known as The Food Factory, officially opened its doors last Friday. The factory is the brainchild of Pic’s Peanut Butter founder Pic Picot who started his global business at the Nelson Market. “Nelson Tasman is a region with bountiful natural resources and creative entrepreneurs. We want to create a great, supportive learning environment to enable small businesses to capture all the region has to offer,” says Pic. It consists of four commercial food-grade kitchens within the
building, that also encompasses warehouse and chiller space, staff amenities, and a presentation kitchen. As well as supporting each other, tenants of The Food Factory will also have the mentor support of an on-site business manager to help navigate the vagaries of the marketplace “We want to provide a supportive learning environment to enable these small enterprises to grow and set up their own premises and create jobs,” says The Food Factory manager Brian Olorenshaw. Lucy Maxwell of local organic food delivery business Fresh2U says she has been at the Food Factory for “three wonderful weeks”. Prior to the move, Lucy was operating for eight years in a cramped old shed on a farm,

ginning
space and allow easy access for couriers to deliver her product. “I can also welcome customers in with pride and market with confidence.” Lucy says it’s a win for not only her business, but also the region and its natural resources.

Council's good owner policy gone to the dogs Sara Hollyman and Kate Russell Local dog owners have been hit in the pocket with an increase in registration fees, with some labelling the move as “frustrating and unfair”. Nelson City councillors voted last month to scrap the Good Dog Owner policy as part of a range of changes to the dog control policy and bylaw. This means 2240 dogs have seen a 45 per cent increase in their 2020/21 annual registration fees. For Nikki and Martin Steyn, their bill has gone up more than $100 in just two years - they now pay $368.20 to register their four dogs. Nikki says she has been a dog owner in Nelson for 25 years and has never received a complaint. “We are good dog owners - we walk our dogs on the lead and we pick up their poo with our own bags. We don’t feel like we get anything for our money.” The Good Dog Owner policy was introduced in 2013 and offered a discount to owners who met a range of criteria, including having a fenced property and paying their registration fees on time. Council’s reasonings for the removal of the scheme is because it was costly to administer and implement, and

Councillor Kate Fulton says the removal of the policy will result in a more equitable fee structure for all dog owners, where those who infringe against the Dog Control Act will pay a greater share of the costs. “All dog owners in Nelson are expected to be good dog owners, and this incentive suggested that the cost of being an irresponsible dog owner was minimal. The subsidy for being a good dog owner is now spread across all registration fees, so everyone benefits.” Good dog owners paid just $66.20 in 2019, but this year now pay the price of a standard
registration, which is $95.80. Nikki says she doesn’t mind paying an increase. “But I don’t think we should pay the same as the people we see not picking up their poo and walking their dogs off-lead with no control. Why are we being charged the same as them? “We all know, in reality, there’s not always going to be good dog owners.” Nikki says she thinks an extra $10 per dog would be “perfectly reasonable” but to put it up $30 “is quite extreme” for ones that causes no problems. Ninety-one submissions were made to council regarding the Good Dog Owner policy, with 87 of them opposing its removal.

Hospital condition among worst Sara Hollyman Reporter
sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz
A stocktake of New Zealand’s hospitals has found parts of Nelson Hospital are in some of the worst condition in the country. The National Asset Management Programme (NAMP) is part of a government-wide initiative to improve capital funding decisions. The initiative comes after District Health Boards estimated in 2018 that they needed $14 billion of investment in infrastructure over the next 10 years. As part of NAMP, engineers checked 166 buildings at 31 hospitals to gauge earthquake risk, asbestos, fire separation problems as well as general plumbing, electrical, mechanical and IT infrastructure, while another 933 buildings were self-assessed. The main tower block at Nelson Hospital – George Manson, was given a rating of ‘high’ in fire separation issues, risk of asbestos and seismic restraint issues. The overall condition of the 1960s building was listed as a 3.7 - the sixth worst score in the country, with 3 being average condition and
4 being poor condition. The hospital’s sitewide electrical infrastructure was among the four worst in the country while its mechanical infrastructure was among the worst five and rated in poor condition. Plans for a multimillion-dollar redevelopment of Nelson Hospital are progressing with an initial business case having been completed. Nelson Marlborough Health’s general manager of finance, performance and facilities, Eric Sinclair, says this puts forward a case for why a new hospital is required, and seeks permission from the Ministry of Health and Treasury to move forward to a more detailed business case. “We are now awaiting approval from them to progress to the next stage, which will be the Detailed Business Case. We hope to receive that decision within the next month,” he says. Eric says the current plan is for the hospital to be redeveloped at the current site and for a 40 per cent increase in bed numbers, although that is still to be finalised. Carparking will also be looked at during the DBC as they expect an increase in capacity will require an increase in carparks.

Spotlight on CBD post Covid Kate Russell

Interest in Nelson central city commercial space is strong post-Covid-19, according to a local industry expert. Colliers Nelson says they are experiencing “massive enquiry” from across the board commercially, with business sales and leases all going ahead. “We’ve certainly had interest, there’s lots of people looking for different things. The phones are ringing, people are still looking,” says leasing and sales broker Debbie Cade. She says while there has been an increase in people looking to continue working from home, others who have ‘been there, done that’ are wanting to return to business district. “It’s a very fluid time with people taking opportunities and considering dynamic shifts to the their working lives and businesses, and that’s being reflected in the new post-Covid dialog.” Bayleys Nelson’s Gill Ireland says they are still seeing a steady number of enquiries for city centre office space, too.

Rebel Sport and Briscoes have both been vacated for newer sites on Vanguard St. Photo: Charles Anderson. There have been a few shake-ups in the CBD, with United Video closing down and Starbucks permanently shutting its Trafalgar St store last Friday, after 15 years. Charles Belcher, CEO of Starbucks New Zealand, told Nelson Weekly that seven employees will be impacted, with no current plans to reopen again in the region. “After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to close the Starbucks store in the Nelson region with our lease expiring. “The decision in no way reflects the strong state of

Starbucks business in New Zealand and our commitment to our long-term growth in the market.” Debbie says they are working hard on finding tenants for the “iconic” site and there has already been interest from several parties. Montgomery Square is also undergoing changes, with Rebel Sport and Briscoes vacating earlier this month to their new Vanguard St site. The Weekly understands the ex-Rebel Sport site in Montgomery Square has been leased, however owner Gibbons Holdings did not
respond to a request for comment. The remaining section of the ex-Number One Shoes site has been leased to The Salvation Army who shifted their family store to town from Paru Paru Rd at the beginning of June. Meanwhile, in Victory Square a cellphone repair shop will open next door to Liquid Laundromat on 1 July. “While there are lots of changes, there’s also loads of opportunity for fresh ideas,” says Debbie. “We are all taking a positive position for the rest of 2020.”

Changes to what you can recycle
Matt McCrorie
Yoghurt pottles, sour cream containers and plastic sushi trays are just a few of the plastic items that will no longer be accepted throughout the region for recycling after July 1. The new recycling policy means that only plastics that can recycled in New Zealand will be collected. These are plastics that are labelled with the numbers 1, 2, or 5. Soft drink bottles, water bottles,
milk bottles, clear meat trays, bathroom, kitchen and laundry products, as well as ice-cream containers are all examples of plastics that will continue to be recycled. These three types of plastics are the most common, making up 85 – 90 per cent of the plastics we use. Plastics that will no longer be collected are marked with the numbers 3,4,6 or 7. These plastics are used to create things like single serve yoghurt pottles and sour cream

containers. Tasman District Council waste management leader David Stephenson says that the focus will be recycling products that can be processed and recycled with confidence. “That means plastics that can be recycled in New Zealand,” he says. “These are high quality plastics and they can be easily remade in New Zealand.” David says that other plastics, while a small part of the mix, can create headaches for the recycling system.
“When we send our number one plastics off, things like soft drink bottles, we can watch them go to the factory in Wellington and see product coming out the other side, so there’s a real level of visibility.” David says that when plastics are shipped off overseas, you lose that visibility. David is also urging consumers to think about their recyclables at both ends. “When you’re buying a product, check to make sure it is a 1,2, or 5 type of plastic – that way
you know that you can recycle it and it won’t go to landfill.” He said that while council has a voice, the real power lies with consumers. “We know that collectively the individuals in our community can make a big difference. They can have a huge influence on manufacturers and retailers. If a product is not made of recyclable plastic or not clearly labelled, please pick up the phone, send an email or get in contact with the manufacturer asking them to make a change.”
David Stephenson, from the TDC, displays several of the items that will keep going into the recycling bin ahead of changes. Photo: Photo: Matt McCrorie.

Stoke GP Dr Taisia Cech supports Nelson becoming a Good Food City. Photo: Kate Russell.
Planting a good food idea Kate Russell Reporter
kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz
A Stoke GP believes that 80 per cent of the conditions she sees in her patients could be fixed or prevented with a plant-based diet and is asking Nelson to become a ‘Good Food City’. Dr Taisia Cech was one of 30 submitters to Nelson City Council’s annual plan requesting they sign up to the C40 Good Food Cities declaration. Globally, 14 cities have signed to take actions to encourage residents to move towards a ‘Planetary Health Diet’ by 2030 with balanced and nutritious food, reflective of culture, geography, and demography, as well as reduce food waste. “A common morning for me would be seeing a 53-year-old man discharged from hospital with a stent, a 45-yearold woman diagnosed with diabetes, a 70-year-old who’s been transferred to a rest home with a stroke and an obese 10-year-old who’s got foot pain,” says Taisia. “I think a lot of these conditions could be prevented or improved through a really good diet.” Integrating a more plant-based way of life into her practice is a passion for Taisia - but it’s also tricky. “You don’t want to tell people what to do, but I clearly see so many conditions that could be helped by what they eat,” she says. She’s seeing blood pressure and cholesterol levels come down in patients who choose to take her advice onboard.
“It’s cool to see them go ‘wow, there’s something in this’.” Nelson Marlborough Health are also supportive of the declaration, saying there is a “strong appetite” among NGO’s. “NMH would like to work in partnership with council on a joint action plan to reduce food waste, increase consumption of plantbased foods and address overall food resilience,” says health promotion manager Lauren Ensor. Group manager strategy and communications at council, Nicky McDonald, says the objectives of the declaration are a good match with council’s work on reducing emissions. During annual plan deliberations, Cr Pete Rainey said it was “not out of council’s realm” to be considering these kinds of initiatives. “We have done this before, in regard to sugary drinks.” Cr Rachel Sanson said she was happy to see council expressing support for the declaration and encouraged NMH to lead it. Meanwhile, Taisia says she feels “inspired” by New Zealand’s Covid-19 fight - giving her faith that we can tackle other chronic epidemics such as diabetes and obesity. “Many people grew up with a ‘meat and three veg’ diet, so it’s hard to suggest alternatives - but if they came to my house for dinner, I don’t think they’d even notice there was no meat. We still cook pizza, pasta, burgers it’s just shifting people’s thinking.” You can visit Taisia’s website at www.plantify.co.nz

Teen tunes cars and turns life around Jonty Dine Eighteen-year-old Wetuh Tang was on the fast track to prison as a young Nelson teen. After his mother died when he was 14, Wetuh turned to crime. He would often run away from home finding solace in the streets. Then, a failed liquor store robbery soon put him in the Youth Court and on the police’s radar. “I reached a stage where I knew my life could end up going two ways,” Wetuh says. “Either I’d end up in jail or dead.” However, Wetuh found a third option, employment. He had always had a passion for cars and dreamed of becoming a mechanic, but believed gang life was a more realistic career for him. “I thought it was a long shot,” he says. “I had been hanging around the wrong crowd, getting in trouble with police so I didn’t think I’d ever get a proper job. My dad told me I need to get on with my life. I was turning 18 and knew that I needed to make a decision quickly.” Wetuh distanced himself from the crowds that caused him trouble and set his sights on turning his

With the support of a friend he approached Workbridge and met with an employment consultant. She connected him with owner of Tyres and Moore in Nelson, Adrian Curtis, who was happy to give the young man a chance. “Wetuh showed a real keenness and motivation to learn. I could see he had significant potential and just needed someone to believe in him,” Adrian says. He is now working towards becoming a fully qualified mechanic. “I’ve been in the news for all the wrong reasons and this is my dream
job. It has changed my whole life forever, I love it, I love coming here, I’m always glad I came.” Wetuh still struggles with the death of his mother but smiles knowing she would be looking down on him proudly. “Every day since she’s passed, I’m always wondering what it would be like if she was here, if things would be different.” However, he implores young people experiencing grief not to fall into harmful patterns. “Don’t waste your time in the courts or on the streets when you could be studying or doing something better.”

Pop-up playground set for winter Staff Reporter Nelson’s first pop-up playground is on track to open this winter. Final design work for the park, situated on the site of a recently demolished building next to Elma Turner Library on Halifax St, was completed this week and work to install the park will begin later this month. The park is the result of a collaboration between Nelson City Council and Wakatū Incorporation, which owns the space. The idea for the park stemmed from the results of council’s Public Life Survey, which showed of all the measured activities taking place in the city centre, less than two percent included children playing. The park will feature a pump track for skaters, bicycles and scooters, a solar-lit basketball court, and an imagination playground for younger children. The imagination playground is made up of 105 large blue foam building blocks which children can use to make their own play

structures. There will also be table tennis, planters, picnic tables, youth hammocks and colourful seating. A customised container will provide shade and secure storage overnight for the games and equipment. Council is also investigating opening up a new door in the wall of the children’s section of Elma Turner Library that would lead directly into the park. Nelson Mayor Rachel Reese says the range of elements in the park meant there was something for all ages to enjoy, making coming to the city centre and enjoying our riverside precinct an even more attractive prospect. “The added benefit of the popup park is that everything in it is relocatable, so we can reuse and reposition all of the elements in it elsewhere in future to reflect our community’s needs.” Work on the park was due to begin earlier this year but was delayed due to the Covid-19 shutdown. The park is now expected to be completed by the end of August.

Your Voice Dog registration: Nelson City Council, in its wisdom, has increased dog registration fees for 2020/2021. They state that owners must pay, and the increase makes it fairer. I was always brought up with the idea of user pays, therefore I agree that if any particular area of the economy is costing more, then the users should pay. A big but - the good dog owners are not costing more. They are the ones who do not require dog control or use the dog pound, they adhere to the rules when walking their dogs and pick up their dog's mess. In 2020/21 they are being penalised for those owners who do not register their dogs, let them run wild, let them annoy other citizens, use the dog pound, have dog control involved, and do not pick up their dog's mess. The good dog owners are facing an increase in registration fees of $29.60, an increase of $48 per cent. Last year, I paid $61.20. This year it is increased to $90.80 per dog. It is my two dogs that have kept me going through some difficult times. Nelson City Council, are you aiming for dogs to be reduced in the Nelson city jurisdiction? Stopping the elderly, young families, and often sick from owing a dog? That is what it looks like. In Nelson we get nothing for our dog registration. Other cities and centres have dog parks. All we

74 homeless given accommodation during Covid-19 crisis: What an amazing article, heart-warming and positive - agree with Matt Lawrey - an incredible silver lining. Hopefully, the funding continues, and we can walk alongside these people to help them achieve their goals and thrive. Lauren Nicole
HOOP DREAMS: Victory Primary School is on the way to getting some much-needed new basketball hoops thanks to a fundraiser initiated by school parent Dallas Spence from Freedom Roofing. He is helping the school raise $4,000 to replace the worn-down hoops and is calling on the community to donate. “A little bit of time or money from a lot of people can make a huge difference.” Donations can be made to the school account, 03-0703-0451588-00, use the reference 'HOOPS'.

Wake up, Nelson City Council. Do you want people to move here and enjoy our weather etc when you do not encourage us in so many other ways? Dog owners would have advantages in moving to Richmond. Janet Way Marine company pleads for help: For goodness sake, for the economy of Nelson,
these boats need to be allowed to enter New Zealand. The crew are effectively on quarantine while they motor this way anyway - far safer than those in a hotel in Auckland who are mingling with the public. Cheryl Orange I do not see any reason at all for these boats not to be allowed in. They are coming from America Samoa, which is Covid-free, just as we are Covidfree. Come on government, let them in. This job has a flow-on effect for our economy. Jo Dalton
Absolutely crap! Virtually zero risk - a lot less risk than the government quarantining, where the people can walk out with the public and new arrivals can intermingle with others that have just about finished their 14 days. The government's answer - send the boats to Australia or Hawaii and put the workers on the dole. Mark Rollo Can’t see a problem, most of those ships have been at sea for a while. Sue Jope
quake. Nelson resides within New Zealand’s core fault zone and we have a similar risk to Napier and Christchurch. It is not a question of whether we have a major earthquake – just a question of when. We are running the risk every year we delay of having a large earthquake and a hospital unable to treat or care for many seriously injured people. The City Council in May under the new law issued Earthquake Prone Building notices to the Health Board. These rate the hospital chimney stack at 20%, the George Manson tower block and operating theatres at 22% and the Percy Burnett tower
block at 33%. This means our main hospital buildings need to be three to five times stronger to meet today’s standards. These legal notices require an upgrade by 2028. The case for a new Nelson Hospital was also strengthened by last week’s stocktake report by the Ministry of Health on all of New Zealand’s public hospitals. Nelson rates poorly and the issues are much more than just seismic issues. The 149 beds are insufficient as evidenced by the over-crowding last winter. Nor are the facilities up to standard for patients, doctors, nurses and our many other dedicated health professionals. It was built in the

Better safe than risking a new outbreak. Keep those
Nelson Matters I am stepping up my long term campaign for a new hospital for Nelson. New reports show our main hospital buildings are much more earthquake prone than previously thought. I also believe investing in public infrastructure projects makes good economic sense in a recession. I rewrote the Building Act provisions for earthquake strengthening in 2017 when I was Minister of Building and Construction. These require assessments of major structures and prioritise the upgrade of public buildings like schools and hospitals. The recent reassessments of Nelson Hospital finds it would be unusable after a significant earth-
Good to read this, although I'm at a loss as to why anyone would choose to live on the streets if alternatives are available.

50s and 60s and is unsuited to modern medical care and practice. National had a strong programme of upgrading our hospitals, building new facilities in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch and Blenheim. Construction of the new Greymouth Hospital was started under National and approval and funding given for Dunedin’s new hospital. Both have subsequently had major delays. No new major hospital projects have been started under Labour since 2017. My objective for Nelson Hospital, regardless of who is in Government, is that it be the next cab off the rank.
The Nelson Marlborough District Health Board is making progress and presented a Business Case in Wellington last month. The next key stage is getting approval for detailed design. The scale of this project is far larger than any previous infrastructure I have helped deliver for Nelson. I expect the cost to exceed $500 million. Construction is complicated by having to ensure services are not disrupted.There is a lot to get right. This is a once in a generation opportunity to deliver a first class hospital to meet the health needs of Nelson and Tasman for the next 50 years. We need to get on with it. Advert.

Dear Nelsonian, I love my job as your MP and the opportunity it gives me to help Nelson families and businesses. I set out my future ambitions for Nelson on Monday at our campaign launch. My top priority is jobs and the economic recovery from Covid-19. I have the experience and track record in Government from previous downturns to know what is required to reverse the sharp increase in Nelson’s unemployment. This is a smart time to be investing in Nelson’s infrastructure. We need to progress a new hospital. The worsening congestion in Nelson and Richmond requires major investment in roading. I’m advocating for additional Government funding to complete the Waimea Community Dam and the Great Taste Cycleway. I am pushing for a new Berryfields School in Richmond West. I seek your support and look forward to engaging with you over the next 12 weeks as you consider your important candidate, party, cannabis and euthanasia votes.

Dedicated flooring business opens in central city
There has been an exciting development this week – the city’s only dedicated flooring store, ‘The Flooring Room Nelson’ has just opened its doors for the very first time. Centrally located on Rutherford Street, The Flooring Room has a beautiful new showroom where you can see and feel carpet, laminate and vinyl on the floor. The modern, spacious building is fit for purpose, complete with offices, a large showroom, a warehouse and plenty of onsite parking. The Flooring Room has three branches, in Tauranga, Palmerston North and now in Nelson city. Owner Dean Folly says it has been a very busy time in the leadup to the opening. “This is the realisation of a whole year’s work,” says Dean. “The lockdown caused bit of de-

lay as we were due to start the process at the beginning of April. So, as soon as we went into level 3 the fitout was able to commence. The building was almost a perfect shell; it didn’t need a lot of work done. "Builder Craig Moore was able to complete this in a short space of time, then I did all the framing and floor preparation and we had a contractor come in to install the products. Speedy Signs have done a fantastic job creating the signage and Viking Joinery did all the joinery. Wherever possible, we have used local suppliers.”

With decades of experience in our team we’ve know we can deliver a floor they’ll love. We offer a free flooring consultation in the customer's home and can help find the right solution for your floor.” Dean says there are a lot of older style homes in Nelson with character floors and it’s about finding the right products to suit that environment. “There’s a big move towards a hybrid vinyl plank now, stone polymer com-

posite or wood polymer composite which works well in character homes because they ‘float’ on the floor and ‘forgive’ imperfect floors.” Dean says the stone polymer composites have sound insulation qualities and are waterproof, whereas other laminates or timbers are a worry because, if water gets into them, they can swell up and create a problem. In the Nelson region, there are lots of new builds going ahead and installing the right flooring and carpet is a big consideration. “In the past, 70 to 80 percent of the flooring was carpet and nowadays it’s much closer to 50/50 with people now preferring hard flooring in their living areas and often it’s only the bedrooms and hallways which are carpeted.” The Flooring Room has a huge offering of hard floorings, whether it’s LVT, natural vinyl tiles, laminates or hybrid planks, sheet vinyl’s or engineered timbers. “The carpets are still available too. We have the latest trends and market innovations. For example, textured solution-dyed nylons with the benefit of being stain and fade resistant.
We also have a few exclusive carpet products including the softest carpet in the world – you have to come and feel it yourself to believe it! No one else in Nelson has this product, it’s pretty amazing.” The Flooring Room also has a very innovative product which has been approved by the Asthma Foundation which extracts impurities out of the air.

Theatre Royal whirs back into action Charles Anderson Editor
charles@nelsonweekly.co.nz
The Theatre Royal has emerged from Covid-19 lockdown full of energy for the future. Come Friday, its doors will be open for the first time in weeks as it puts on the opening night of a special new MAMIL season, by new Nelson resident and veteran actor Mark Hadlow. However, the theatre has not been left unscathed. Lockdown saw all its shows cancelled, with the next few months also looking shaky for bookings. As such, it had to make two of its part-time staff redundant, leaving only the manager, Eliane Polack, to handle the whole enterprise. “We are excited, but it will be tough. That’s why it’s so important people come out and support us.” Mark says that people need to come and see some live theatre this weekend. “Forget about the rugby, this is really high-quality
Theatre Royal manager Eliane Polack is hopeful Nelsonians will come back and support the beloved arts institution. Photo: Charles Anderson. performance that Nelsonians will love.” He says people shouldn’t take the theatre for granted. “It is an amazing space and Nelson is so lucky to have it, but it needs people in the seats.” He has also recently been made a patron of the theatre. “I’m really excited about that.” The Theatre Royal is likely the oldest functioning wooden theatre in the Southern Hemisphere, and Eliane says we cannot stress often enough what a fantastic asset it is for Nelson.
“A beautifully restored heritage building with state-of-theart theatre facilities, that is accessible to community groups as well as professional touring companies. It was one of the busiest theatres in New Zealand pre-Covid-19. We hope Nelsonians will keep supporting live performances, so that we can get back to that level of activity.” MAMIL, written by Greg Cooper, tells the story of Bryan Cook, a property developer who has accumulated a small fortune building leaking homes.
“He’s a stressed out, selfmedicating, self-loathing arse, killing himself to increase his bank balance while decreasing his golf score.” Mark says it is a powerful show which everyone can enjoy. As such he is making the show ‘pay what you can’ – meaning anyone can go to the show. Those who are struggling financially and would normally not be able to afford to attend a professional performance can buy heavily reduced tickets from $10. However, more expensive tickets will also be available for those who can and want to support the theatre in its struggle to stay alive without many new shows on offer in the near future. At 6.30pm on Friday, Mark will also be the MC at the grand opening of the new bicycle rack in front of the theatre, which was recently installed by Nelson City Council.

Nelson Netball
After weeks of uncertainty, players will finally get on the netball court this weekend. Nelson Netball Centre Manager Jared Lock says it feels like it’s been a long time coming and they are excited to get started this weekend. “The season start was slightly disrupted but the goal for 2020 is around ensuring community participation and remembering why everyone plays netball.” Jared says they want to see players, coaches, team management, umpires, technical officials and supporters out there with their family and friends, having fun. “For the 2020 season our teams fees have been reduced by 50per cent and we are introducing several community initiatives that will be promoted throughout the season.” The NBS Premier Netball Competition, along with all club and college grades, gets underway this week with a shortened format due to the disruption of Cov-

Premier games take place at 6.15pm and 7.45pm at Saxton Stadium on Thursday evenings while the Russell’s Curtains & Blinds Club Competition is played on Saturdays. Following round one, an automatic promotion/relegation will occur between the 6th-placed team in Premier and the top ranked team in Senior 1. Defending champions Prices Ahurei will carry the favourites tag after beating Jacks OPD in the 2019 final. They will be joined by Stoke NBS, Richmond F45, Nelson College for Girls and Motueka High School. Waimea College Senior A will be looking to promote themselves back into Premier at the conclusion of Round one, but will have a challenge ahead of them with a very strong-looking Senior 1 grade rolling out for the 2020 season.

"After recent world events, NBS is proud to say that we will continue our focus on supporting the Nelson/Tasman region as we try to get some normality back into all our lives.” Holly Chandler - The defensive dynamo proved a headache for all attacks last season and will be a crucial cog in Prices' quest for a three-peat. Jordan Webby - The 2019 Season and Finals MVP following her stellar performance in a losing effort in the final. The Jacks goal keep was integral
to her side’s success who will be hoping to go one better in 2020. Zoe Walker - Brings a wealth of experience from the ANZ Premiership and will further strengthen the Prices Ahurei defence unit. Zoe amassed more than 50 caps for the Tactix and her presence is sure to be invaluable. Kalyssa Rasmussen - The experienced wing attack has opted to make the move to Prices from Stoke and will be a key member of an already strong squad. Natasha Bannister - The former New Zealand volleyball rep’s athleticism will be a massive asset to Stoke as they look to knock off the two top sides in the past few seasons.
Suburbs celebrate 350th in style Jonty Dine Nelson Suburbs played its 350th MPL fixture on Sunday and celebrated the milestone with a 2-0 win over Nomads at Saxton Field. The win is the club's 191st since entering the MPL and first of the 2020 season. They were made to work hard for the points, however, a brave Nomads side held the hosts scoreless for almost the entirety of the game. A tight start led to a scoreless first half and left fans having to wait until the 85th minute for the first goal. But Jordan Yong ensured it was worthwhile with a stunning free kick. Jordan's left foot shot from 30 metres out curled perfectly into the back of the net, past a despairing dive from the keeper, as the Saxton faithful erupted. Lachlan Brooks was the solitary

substitution made for Suburbs as he was introduced in the 65th minute for an injured Corey Larsen. Lachlan's impact was immediate as he cut the Nomad's defence apart on several occasions. His efforts were rewarded with just a minute to play as he hammered home a superb strike from outside the 18 yard box to seal the 2-0 victory. Jordan says it was satisfying to get two goals in two games and he is hoping the form continues. “Our first three points at home will give us confidence going into next week.” Suburbs are sitting sixth on the MPL table with one win from three games.

Nelson College survives pre-season Waimea scare Jonty Dine Reporter
jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Nelson College kicked off its season on Saturday afternoon with a 'game of three halves' with Waimea and Marlborough Boys’ Colleges. The 2019 South Island champions survived a brave performance by Waimea to win 12-7 in a tense affair at Jubilee Park. It took a late try by replacement front rower Reegan Lawton with just a minute to play to seal Nelson's victory.
Earlier in the day, Nelson knocked off MBC 10-0. Skipper Daniel Dixon says it was a solid first-up effort. "Overall, it was a good hit out considering we had 10 weeks out." Daniel admits there is a lot to work on and discipline was an issue at times. The match marked the debut of powerhouse Fijian loosie Netani Baleisomosomo, as well as several new squad members. " [Netani] is a really solid presence on the field and some of our young backs are very exciting," says Daniel

Yokohama almost scored his side's second with a scintillating break from mid-field. However, Nelson were unable to convert its wealth of possession into points and Waimea took advantage. Hot on attack, Waimea's monstrous midfielder Macca Springer broke through the line from set piece and squared the scores. Macca then nailed the pressure kick to put his side ahead.
One of only seven returning players from 2019, Daniel says he was relieved to get the win over their local rivals. "We never like losing to Waimea but luckily the boys dug in." Nelson opened the scoring through Netani, who powered his way over the chalk after a storming run off the back of the scrum. As Nelson's backs grew in confidence they began to string some impressive attack together, only to be denied by desperate Waimea defence. Daniel was dominant in the lineouts, while halfback Justin
With time ticking away, Nelson hammered Waimea. The pressure eventually proved too much, and Lawton went in for the match winner. Nelson kicks off its UC Championship defence next Saturday at home against Ashburton. Scorers: Nelson 12 (Baleisomosomo, Lawton tries, Ethan Burt 1 con) Waimea 7 (Springer try, con)

From top fan to newest player FROM PAGE 1 Jonty Dine Tom began training with the wider squad in 2014 after switching the golf clubs for a basketball. “I went on numerous road trips with the team, I’ve helped set up for the games, I lead the Wannabees, I’ve been videographer and home game manager, commentated a few games and trained with the team, but it’s cool to now be in the mix.” Tom says his love for the franchise stems from its family feel and proud history. “We have been known to go up against the big boys and come out better off on a lot of occasions.” Though delighted with his selection, Tom isn’t getting ahead of himself. “I’m under no illusion that I’m well down the roster, so minutes will be few and far between but any opportunity to put the jersey on will be awesome. If I don’t get a second on the court it will be

Former Giant Zeb Lovell will return to his home franchise while the Giants also acquired two metre 'Airs forward Thane O’Leary and rounding out the squad was American Theo Johnson. The Giants will tip off their campaign on Tuesday June 23 against the Taranaki Mountainairs. Giants Squad: Mika Vukona, Mike Karena, Dane Brooks, Tom Ingham, Josh Bloxham, Nick Trathen, Riley Bensemann, Tysxun Aiolupotea, Zeb Lovell, Thane O’Leary, Theo Johnson, Tom Gargiulo.
With the fourth pick in the first round of the draft, the Giants selected Nelson veteran Mika Vukona, who was thought to have played his final game for the franchise. Next up was physical centre and former Nelson College boy Mike Karena with Nelson's third pick former 'Airs player Dane Brooks.

Plea for pole vault support Jonty Dine Reporter
jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Saxton Track is missing one crucial piece of equipment, preventing it from being a world-class facility. Chairperson of Top of the South athletics charitable trust, Derek Shaw, says the next Eliza McCartney could well be somewhere in Nelson, but without a pole vault we will never find them. An approaching strip and planting box were installed at Saxton 12 years ago when the track was laid.
However, without matting, bars, poles and uprights, it is unable to be used. Derek has called on both the Tasman and Nelson City Councils to help fund the completion of the project. “It has just been sitting dormant, but they are quite expensive.” Derek says the cost could be as high as $60,000. “That’s certainly stretching the resources of the athletics fraternity.” His hope is that the facility could be considered in the Long-Term Plan in hopes of it being ready for the 2024 South Island Secondary School Championships.
He says, by acquiring a pole vault, Saxton could even go on to host the New Zealand championships. “It would be an asset, Nelson is the only all-weather track facility without a pole vault in the South Island, it is the last major piece of infrastructure needed to have the track fully functioning.” Derek says it will ultimately benefit our young athletes. “We have a few who have been interested in giving it a go with the rising stars of young New Zealand pole vaulters like Eliza and Olivia McTaggart, there is quite a lot of interest in it now.”

PUBLIC NOTICE
Out Of Zone Enrolment Applications The Clifton Terrace School Board of Trustees invites applications from parents who wish to enrol their sons and daughters for 2020/21 who live outside the enrolment zone. Enrolment at the school is governed by an enrolment scheme, details of which are available on the school website www.cliftontce.school.nz. Families who wish to apply should do so in writing addressed to Rob Wemyss stating the child’s full name, date of birth and current address. The deadline for receipt of applications for out-of-zone places is Fri 26 June. Parents of students who live within the home zone should also apply by this date to assist the school to plan appropriately for next year. The board has determined that 15 places are likely to be available for out-of- zone students for the next year. Preference will be given to those in the Year 1- 3 age group (those born 2012 – 2016). The exact number of places will depend on the number of applications received from students who live within the school’s home zone. Please note that other age groups will be considered as well. If the number of out-of-zone applications exceeds the number of places available, students will be selected by ballot. If a ballot is required it will be held on Fri 3 July 2020. Parents will be informed of the outcome of the ballot within three school days of the ballot being held. Rob Wemyss Principal CliftonTerrace School Notice to all Advertisers: By placing your advertisement you agree with the terms and conditions of the Nelson Weekly Ltd. Namely, payment by the 20th of the following month, or in the event of non payment, the recovery of any debt and its costs will be charged to the customer.
