Charity store staff ‘gutted’ after burglary Matt McCrorie Volunteers at a local charity shop have been left ‘heartbroken’ after a burglary last week.
A volunteer from the ICH charity shop, in Wakatu Industrial estate, was left in shock when opening the store on Tuesday morning last week, to find a window pried
open, and the entire till missing. “It leaves a really horrible feeling in your gut,” says manager Gill Burson. Founded in 1949, IHC is New
Zealand’s largest provider of services to people with intellectual disabilities and their families. The money raised from the local charity shop goes back
into the Nelson and Tasman communities to support those living with a disability.

Victory Primary School’s hoop dreams have come true, thanks to a former student and her family’s business - and plenty of other generous Nelsonians. It took just two weeks to fundraise $4000 for some much-needed new basketball hoops for the school’s courtyard - with Trafalgar Painting making up the $865 shortfall needed. Jess Szentpeteri, from Trafalgar Painting, attended the school 20 years ago and remembers the current hoops being there when she was a child. “My sister and I came here, and it was a really hard time for us. The school helped us, so we felt it was time to give back,” she says. “When I saw they needed donations I suggested it to my dad, but he’d already rung the

school up.” School parent Dallas Spence, who initiated the fundraiser, says they were blown away with the generosity of the community. “We had a $600 anonymous donation, and many families donated $50 or $100 which we know is a lot of money for them. We had many fivedollar donations here and there, which all add up. “We just want to say a huge thanks to everyone who donated.” Fulton Hogan Nelson also paid a visit at the school last week, donating manpower and equipment to re-paint the playground lines at the school. “Another very generous gesture by a local business.” Dallas is now in the process of sourcing the hoops and says they should be up and ready for action by springtime.

Charity store staff ‘gutted’ after burglary FROM PAGE 1 “Everything we make goes back into the community, and it is a real shame that someone targeted us,” Gill says. This isn’t the first time that the IHC shop in Wakatu has been targeted. Last year, their van, which they use to make deliveries and collections with, was stolen overnight. It was found by police, abandoned, and riddled with drug paraphernalia. Gill says her volunteers have been left ‘shaken’ by the second burglary. “Our volunteers put such devoted time into doing what they do, just to help others, and so do the people who donate to us. It hits everybody.” Gill says that she is gutted for the volunteers who put their own time into the charity shop.
“We give our time, we are volunteers. We have one paid staff member who is paid for 20 hours, and that’s it. “It leaves a feeling in your gut, you put your time and effort in to helping others, and people just think they have the right to take whatever they like. Everyone is struggling at the moment.” Gill estimates that the break in has cost the charity store nearly $2000, including a few hundred dollars that was taken from the till, the cost of replacing the till, repairing the windows and adding improvements to the store’s security, and a loss of earnings from the next day while the store was closed. The police are currently working through security footage from the store, and are pursuing several leads, thanks to information from the public. Police encourage anybody who

Colleges want to be left out of Nayland zoning

Your eyes are the first thing people notice about you
Nelson’s two single-sex secondary schools say they would prefer to be left out of the discussion regarding the impending enrolment zone for Nayland College. The only co-ed school in Nelson is set to zone in 2022 due to roll growth, which has created an outcry from parents who want more choice for their children. Last week, the Ministry of Education told Nelson Weekly that should the boards of Nelson’s other two secondary schools, Nelson College for Girls and Nelson College, and their communities request that the ministry work with them to consider the possibility of them providing co-educational schooling, they would do so. But Deleece Hall, Nelson College Board of Trustees chairperson, says it's “unfair” to put it on other schools. “We don’t think of it as a Nelson College issue. There are no bad options for schools in the Nelson region and we can’t see why enrolment issues specific to Nayland College should open up any discussion on anything else. It’s a big distraction.” Deleece says it’s the ministry’s

All the schools are very supportive of each other.” Natasha Berkett, chair of Nelson College for Girls board of trustees, says it would not be appropriate to comment on another school’s zoning, but confirmed they have never discussed becoming co-ed. “The board of Nelson College for Girls has never considered the school becoming coeducational. We do share a small number of timetabled classes with Nelson College, but ultimately, we strongly believe in what girls can achieve in our single-sex educational
environment,” she says. “Every day we see the rewards of our positive all-girl learning environment and focus on wellbeing, and every year our girls attain region-topping academic results - strengths also verified by ERO. “Meanwhile, zoning of a particular school is a matter between that school and the Ministry of Education.” The ministry has told the Weekly that while Nayland College has seen a demand for enrolments, Nelson College for Girls and Nelson College have experienced a decline in enrolments and additional students would be able to be accommodated within the current schooling provision. “A new secondary school is not needed [in Nelson] in the next few years”.

Focus on Nelson’s Future Access Locally Owned and Operated
Nelson Future Access has presented three long-term options for Nelson’s transport woes. Not all of these will be submitted for funding and Waka Kotahi NZTA want your help to decide which package or combination of packages will work best for Nelson and the surrounding region. Over the past three weeks Sara Hollyman has looked into what each of the tabled options will mean for Nelson. Priority Lanes Package COST: $220–250M. This package looks at adding peak period clearway lanes to SH6 Rocks Rd and Waimea Rd, Rutherford St between the Annesbrook and Haven Rd roundabouts for priority traffic. It aims to further improve public transport, and encourage walking and cycling trips with the goal of reducing the number of singleoccupant vehicles using the two main arterial routes. Nelson Future Access Project experts say this package gives flexibility for the future because the lanes could be used for certain vehicles at certain times. For example, the Rocks Rd priority lanes might allow freight, whereas the Waimea/Rutherford priority lanes might only be allocated to buses and multiple occupant vehicles. Over time, as demand changes, the vehicle mix could also be modified. They also say it would have a significantly positive impact on
the outcomes of moving people and freight and making Nelson more accessible. There would be impact on some properties along the routes, where a metre or so of frontage may be needed. Parking would only be available in off-peak times. Nelson Labour candidate Rachel Boyack says these lanes is her preferred option because it prioritises vehicles carrying multiple people and it best protects the airshed along Waimea Rd. “I’ve always said we need to do something different to limit the congestion but it’s not one silver bullet, it’s a series of things that need to be done together.” She says, making it easier and encouraging people to share cars, bike, and use public transport is great, but it’s important not to demonise people who drive cars. “Not everybody has to do that, some people will still need to use their car and that’s ok, this is about giving choice. The goal is to
get less vehicles on the road. “What I really like about the priority lanes is that it says, ‘yes, at peak times we need to enhance the capacity, but we are going to prioritise the vehicles that are carrying more people or that are there for a genuine need’.” Nelson MP Nick Smith says the clearway option will be “hugely disruptive” for around 800 households. “Clearways have proved in areas like the Wellington coast not to work.” Rachel says, living on Waimea Rd, she experiences first-hand the frustrations that come with the congestion. “I can’t turn right onto Waimea Rd very often. I appreciate why people are frustrated. I’ve made peace with turning left and even though that can add another 5 minutes to my day it’s still only a 10-minute trip into town. The congestion is certainly frustrating for people coming from further out, I absolutely accept that, and

Photo: Sara Hollyman. it’s getting worse.” She says the issue she has always had with putting another road through the middle of Nelson is that it is a well-known airshed, which means fumes get trapped. “The Environment Court, DHB, and a whole lot of other people have said 'actually, that would be incredibly damaging to the people who live in that area’.” Rachel accepts that, for people who live on those streets, at peak times there will be increased
traffic but there is never going to be a perfect solution for everyone. “You can’t please everybody and if you try, you’re not going to get it right. It’s not that I’m anti-roads, there are times when you need new roads, but in this instance, I always come back to the fact that this is an airshed, there’s an environmental, but most importantly there’s a health impact.

House prices still rise despite Covid Staff Reporter Nelson house prices are still rising even though there were predictions that Covid-19 could stymie the trend. The median house price in Nelson for June rose 13.2 per cent year-on-year, from $531,500, to $601,500, latest figures from the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand show. The top sale price was $1,887,000, for a property on Wakefield Quay, according to the REINZ House Price
Index. Nelson’s median house price increased 2.6 per cent from May to June - adding to a total value rise of the region’s house, since 2003, of more than 150 per cent. In Tasman, the median house price rose 2.4 per cent on last year to $650,000 and had the lowest days to sell of all regions at 28 days. Nationwide, median house prices rose by 9.2 per cent to $639,000, up from $585,000 the year before. The new
median was a 3.1 per cent increase from $620,000 in May. REINZ chief executive Bindi Norwell says many believed that house prices would fall due to the uncertainty put up by Covid-19. “However, we are yet to see any evidence of that happening with every region in the country seeing an uplift from the same time last year, and 10 out of 16 regions seeing an uplift from May.” She suggested that the impact of lockdown was now “well
and truly behind the country”. Wage subsidies and mortgage holidays were still “firmly in place”, and demand for good property was exceeding supply, she says. “We wouldn’t be so bold as to say there won’t be an easing of pricing in the coming months when these support mechanisms come to an end. “But right now, Kiwis’ love affair with property continues unabated – especially with the low interest rates we currently have in the market.”

Rachel Boyack for Nelson
Nelson, with its abundance of natural resources and tourism attractions, has a big role to play in New Zealand’s economic recovery. The Project Kokiri Economic Response and Regeneration Plan led by Nelson City Council, Tasman District Council, Nelson Regional Development Agency, Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce, Iwi and the government’s regionally based agencies is an exciting initiative that I am giving my full support to. As part of this initiative a campaign to attract New Zealanders to experience our beautiful region was launched this week. The Nelson Market is a key attraction and I’m pleased to say our Labour team will be at the market from this weekend. I look forward to seeing you there.

Debate over Maitai Andrew Board
A several hundred home development in the Maitai Valley will “tick a lot of boxes” according to its developers, including adding more homes close to the city, cleaning up “dead” stream and allowing the public to access tracks that are currently on private land. But opponents say the development will ruin the peace and quiet of the valley by adding more traffic and filling a picturesque green space with hundreds of houses. The development which is proposed to be built on former farmland in the Kaka Valley, off Ralphine Way in the Maitai Valley, will see hundreds of new homes built, starting at around $550,000 for a house and land package. Until roughly a year ago, the land was mostly covered in gorse, wild goats and some grazing stock. The farm was bought by Bayview Nelson Ltd in June last year with plans to develop parts of it into housing. In December Bayview sold a section of the former farm to a local consortium including the Spittal, Coman and Vercoe
families and Koata Ltd. Each hold a 25 percent shareholding. The plan is to develop 315 acres of the 800 acre area into housing, a wetland area, walking and cycle tracks and native bush. Andrew Spittal says the group presented to Nelson City Council last year to ask what they wanted from the development including walking and cycling tracks, services and wetlands. Discussions were progressing well with council keen to see more housing close to Nelson city, but any development will need to go through three stages before being approved for construction: firstly, a zoning change from rural to residential and open space, then resource consent approval and finally construction. Andrew Spittal says development north of the city is valuable because there has been little development north of the city meaning the roading networks are relatively underutilised. He says cycling and walking tracks would also make it easy for residents to make their way to the city centre without using a car. “We’re here trying to do the right thing, that’s why we’ve engaged with the council so early and been so open. We want to improve this
All we want is the facts out there and for people to make up their own minds. We feel what we are doing will enhance our region” – Andrew Spittal area.” Part of that improvement would be adding a 50 metre wide green corridor alongside the Kaka Stream and converting four hectares from grazing land into an ecological enhancement area beside the river, Andrew says. Councillors heard about the proposed development late last year and many have since visited the area but not all think it’s a good idea. Councillor Matt Lawrey has been vocal about the proposal and says it will “ruin the valley”. He says the region’s pressing need for more housing should be addressed by high-density development in the central city. “The 550 houses, the roads, the streetlights, the vehicles, the cats and dogs and everything that comes with the development will

permanently change the nature of the Maitai Valley. The valley is an incredible playground for all Nelsonians to enjoy that’s a stone’s throw from the city. As the city grows, the valley's value, in terms of its biodiversity and recreational opportunities, will also grow. Future generations will not thank us for allowing urban sprawl to permanently change its nature and character.” He’d rather see development of the Toi Toi Grove subdivision between Princes Drive and Toi Toi St. But the council’s own Future Development Strategy which was published last July, acknowledges that intensifying housing in the city alone will not solve the problem of a housing shortage in the region. “House prices in Nelson and Tasman are some of the most unaffordable in New Zealand. If we don’t plan how to accommodate growth and demand remains strong, house prices may become even more unaffordable,” the report says. “Growth forecasts vary, but given how fast we have been growing, we may need to find space for up to 40,000 extra people and 24,000 extra homes across Nelson and
Tasman over the next 30 years. “The FDS supports intensification of current urban settlements, especially Nelson, Stoke and Richmond. However, in a high growth scenario, this is unlikely to provide sufficient housing capacity or housing choices (due to limited areas suitable for intensification). Therefore some green field development may also be needed.” The report has identified Kaka Valley in the Maitai as an area for possible housing. Deputy mayor Judene Edgar is also supportive of more housing and says that any project will need to face tough scrutiny via the Resource Management Act process before anything happens. “We definitely need more housing within walking and cycling distance to the CBD. Intensification alone is unlikely to meet population needs and there is no one housing solution for anyone regardless which age or stage they are at in their lives so as a city we need to ensure we are providing housing choice.” But there is a growing number of those opposed. Earlier this month the Save the Maitai group was formed saying the development would add too many cars on

the valley’s roads and destroy the quiet enjoyment of the valley. Spokesperson for Save the Maitai Tony Haddon has lived in the valley for 30 years and neighbours the proposed development. He says he was “utterly, totally, shocked and absolutely devastated” when he heard about the proposal. “There’s the obvious, selfish, nibby thing in that I’ve lived here 30 years, bought my kids up here and I really want it for Nelsonians to enjoy. And quite honestly, I don’t think this proposal is going to go ahead because neither the city council or developers have any idea of the depth of feeling in opposition to this idea.” He says he’s been involved in many campaigns over the years and says this one has been “effortless” due to its massive support. “We have a council that seems hell bent on keeping up with Richmond and I don’t understand that. We all feel there’s a housing shortage but if we build 500 houses in Kaka Valley all that will happen in that we’ll stuff the valley and in five or 10 years time we’ll still be looking for more houses.” Asked what the land owners should do with the land if it wasn’t developed, he wasn’t sure. “We haven’t spoken very much about a solution, it’s in the back of our minds. At this point the alternatives are for someone else to worry about. Our energy is directed at stopping the land use change.”

He says just because Ngāti Koata are involved as shareholders it is no reason to push ahead. “Everyone who gets Iwi on their side thinks they’ve got a really good case because everyone’s sh*t scared of Iwi and the ramifications. We’ve been pointing out that this isn’t Māori land.” Andrew says they welcome robust criticism because they can learn from it but they feel the development will be a win for the city. “All we want is the facts out there and for

people to make up their own minds. We feel what we are doing will enhance our region. Inner city living isn’t affordable for first home buyers, nor is it where everyone wants to live.” He says all of this will be better for the land than the farming that was taking place or turning the land into a pine forest, two options which they could do now with no consultation. The next step once the application is lodged is for the council to decide whether
the rezoning change should be publicly notified or not and then for a decision to be made. If the rezoning is approved, developers will then turn their attention to a detailed design to gain resource consent. Tony says that won’t be the only fight developers will have on their hands. “We’re prepared to go as long as it takes. We’re forming a society shortly. We know it won’t be an easy fix but we know it’s not going to happen, I can say that.”

Nelson Fringe Festival takes flight Staff Reporter The Nelson Fringe Festival will next month become one of the first events of its kind to take place in New Zealand, post Covid lockdown. Running from August 14-22, the festival has had its fair share of ups and downs over the past several months. Covid-19 put the brakes on its previous dates in May, but luckily most local artists were still keen to come. Festival director Laura Irish says the event will have an awesome impact on Nelson’s CBD and be a drawcard for people come out and enjoy some affordable entertainment – even during winter. “Obviously, we are really sad that it means our international shows won’t be able to attend but to have such enthusiasm for Kiwi artists is really special,” she says. The festival programme was launched on Sunday and there are now more than 30 shows and six workshops from August 14-22. Highlights include a thoughtful journey through the whole of Joni Mitchell's BLUE album, ‘The Saboteur’ by Australian performer Jim Fishwick which was winner of Outstanding Show at NZ Improv Festival last year

The shows will cover everything from gender stories, masculinity, war and dementia, as well as Wakefield School students telling the story of the 2019 Tasman fires

of the artists willing to share with us,” says Laura. “We hope no matter your background or place in life, you feel welcome to join us for nine days of original theatre where we can laugh, cry, ask important questions about our world, learn more about
each other and celebrate our differences.” Despite its success the festival has continuously been turned down by Creative New Zealand for funding that would ensure its sustainability. However, the tiny team of organisers has learned to evolve on a shoestring budget. They are grateful for the support they do get from Nelson City Council, the Nelson Regional Development Agency, the Rātā Foundation and their first naming rights sponsor, Bay Landscape and Garden Centre, this year being able to piece together $45,000 in funding from various sources. Laura says the festival is also running its ‘Adopt-a-Show’ scheme where local businesses can take a show under its wing and help promote it in return for show tickets, lots of love and “huge amounts of street cred”. She says the festival is also proud of its ‘pay what you can’ ticket structure meaning people can choose what they pay for each show. The Nelson Fringe Festival runs from August 14-22 and its can be found at www.nelsonfringe. co.nz/. Tickets from $13 + fees @ Eventfinda or NCMA.

A 4500-signature petition to save Nikau House has been presented on Parliament’s steps by cyclists from Nelson. The petition condemns a proposal to shut the mental health facility’s doors as part of a restructuring of mental health resources. The plan has been met with passionate opposition with a number of protests, petitions and public meetings being held to try to save Nikau House. Nelson MP Nick Smith says the petition must force a Government rethink of the facility’s closure. “Nikau House is a vital community based mental health service for Nelson. Its closure contradicts the Government’s promise to expand community mental health services and the recommendations of the Mental Health Inquiry.” Nick says mental health services in Nelson are being reduced with Nikau House closing and 25 per cent cuts to the number of clinical psychologists and consultant psychiatrists.
“Waiting times for accessing psychological services that were only a few weeks under the previous National Government have now blown out to six months under the Labour Government.” Nick raised the issue of the proposed closure on June 8 after receiving leaked documents from the DHB. He says National would use the power of the Minister of Health through the letter of expectations and annual plan process with the DHB to require Nikau House to stay open. Nikau House member Daniel Timms was also at Parliament to help present the petition with Nick and Nelson Labour candidate Rachel Boyack. Daniel has been a vocal advocate for the service and says he fears he could end up back in the psychiatric ward without it. “I will feel lost and have nowhere to go.” Daniel has suffered with mental health issues all his life and says Nikau House has been a lifeline and haven for him.

Wai-iti Reserve to be New Zealand's first Dark Sky Park Locally Owned and Operated
Tracy Neal of RNZ Ralph Bradley was a 10-year-old in Golden Bay when he went outside in the early hours of a morning with his father, and saw his first aurora. He has been hooked on the night sky ever since. Now retired, Bradley has helped drive development of the country's first official Dark Sky Park set to open near Nelson this weekend with special star parties on Saturday and Sunday night, weather permitting. The International Dark Sky Association (IDA) has recently accredited Wai-iti Recreation Reserve and Tunnicliff Forest with the status. Bradley, who chaired the Top of the South Dark Sky committee, said he was thrilled the park had received international designation, when his wish had seemed light years away. "We formed the committee about five-and-a-half years ago with the idea initially of seeing if we could create a Dark Sky area somewhere in the top of the South Island.
"We settled on a little park just five kilometres out of Wakefield." IDA executive director Ruskin Hartley said the achievement was testament to the persistence of those involved in the years-long nomination, which meant Waiiti was now protected for current and future generations of New Zealanders. He described such places as important for teaching communities about the importance of the night sky for all who shared the environment, including humans, animals and plants. The Wai-iti Recreation Reserve was about 30km south of Nelson city. Bradley said the committee, supported by the Nelson Science Society Astronomy Section, had worked with the Tasman District Council to create a Memorandum of Understanding that freed up the 135-hectare reserve and forestry area to be designated as a Dark Sky Park. Network Tasman and Nelson Forest & Bird had also contributed to allowing the project to go ahead.

The park now added to the list the number of accredited Dark Sky venues in New Zealand, including the existing and much larger reserves and sanctuaries at AorakiMackenzie, Stewart Island/Rakiura and Aotea/Great Barrier. Bradley said the difference between the sanctuaries and what now existed in Tasman was the size of the area. "A Dark Sky Reserve needs to be
at least 700 square kilometres - it's a much larger area, and the next designation down is Dark Sky Park." He said the area was chosen for the lack of artificial light infiltration. Accreditation relies on efforts to prove scientifically, by measuring light, that a location meets a level of high-quality darkness. He says that Dark Sky Park designation is also important for

protecting the night against the ingress of light pollution. “We really want to raise awareness in the public about the insidious creep of light into the night, how it causes harm to ourselves and our environment and how light pollution is currently growing faster than population growth.� The Nelson Institute will host Ralph Bradley on Sunday, August 2 at the Nelson Library, 2pm.

Your Voice Assaults on Police What is going on in this country? The data released by the police union showing that our police officers have been assaulted 7611 times over the past five years is a disgrace and we all should be ashamed of that. There has been much pointing the finger at our police force recently with veiled accusations of biased policing strategies and that needs to cease. The media leap on any suggestion that casts our Police in a bad light and that only encourages the idiots in our society who see police as a “fair target”. Anyone assaulting a police officer should be severely dealt to by our courts. It’s now time for all law-abiding New Zealanders to stand up for our police. They will unfortunately always face violent situations in their day to day work however they must undertake their duties knowing that the people of New Zealand are totally behind them. Having a
publicly supported and strong police force is absolutely fundamental to the future wellbeing of our society and the way we live. Neville Male

Taking a closer look at NZTA’s ‘inland route’ I would be really interested to see how the "inland route" is the better option in regards to climate change. The whole area of Nelson South/Victory that it would run through is noted as an 'inundation zone' due to the lack of adequate drainage and the streams that run through the area. If they try and add underpasses, they are going to have to combat this existing challenge and will probably have major effects on the entire area when there is significant rainfall. Briony Beddek Take a drive in the opposite direction and you will notice almost every single car coming towards you has only one person in it.

Nelson Matters This week I presented to Parliament the 4,500 signature petition opposing the closure of Nelson’s Nikau House. This community centre has provided valuable support for people with mental health challenges for over 30 years. I was shocked to hear of the closure at the Nelson Market on June 6 through leaked documents from a concerned citizen that I chose to make public. It was naive of the District Health Board to think it could close such an iconic facility without any public consultation nor any clear plan on what would replace it. The explanation that the Covid-19 lockdown showed
people could cope without Nikau House was unfair. The claim it duplicates other services is incorrect. It has been a joy to get to know Daniel Timms, a client of Nikau House, who has been bravely leading the charge opposing closure. Daniel has been very open with his struggle with mental health, the time in and out of hospitals all over New Zealand and multiple suicide attempts. He rates Nikau House as one of the best services he has had and a life saver. He loves the continuity of staff that have got to know his needs. He likes that he can drop in when he needs support rather than waiting weeks for an
appointment. He also finds the mutual support of others suffering mental illness invaluable. I hosted a public meeting in Nelson earlier this month on Nikau House with National’s Mental Health Spokesperson Matt Doocey MP, a former mental health professional. Matt led the work establishing the cross party parliamentary group on mental health last year. The message at that meeting of support for Nikau House was universal from clients, families and mental health professionals. Matt made the commitment that National would require the District Health Board to keep Nikau House open.

These packages aren't the answer to solving the traffic issues as the traffic is predominantly coming from the Tasman District. It is also a smoke and mirrors exercise. They are talking about possibly widening Rocks Rd between 5 to 12 metres even if they only choose the Inland Route. What the greater Nelson Region needs is real public transport. A system that can bring the commuters from out Stoke and beyond. What a mess. Joy Shackleton

Matt asked a straight forward question of Labour Health Minister Chris Hipkins, “Does the Minister believe that Nelson’s Nikau House should stay open?” He dodged the question and said it was up to the DHB. The Minister could easily use his powers to halt the closure if he chose. I am at loss as to how closing Nikau House is consistent with the Government’s commitment to improving mental health services or the recent Mental Health Inquiry. Nelson has seen none of the $1900 million nationally promised for mental health. Nor has Nelson seen any of the hundreds of community mental health nurses in GP clinics

The number of clinical psychologists has been cut since 2017 from 24 to 19 and consultant psychiatrists from 11 to 8. Waiting times to see these specialists have blown out from weeks to months. The demand for mental health services is growing worldwide. It is only going to get worse with the financial and unemployment problems from Covid-19. We must keep up the fight to save Nikau House.

NPD opens new discount fuel site in Tahuna
Tracy Neal of RNZ
Nelson-based family owned fuel company NPD has just opened its new self-serve discount fuel site on the corner of Parkers Rd and Muritai St in Tahunanui. Parkers Rd is the 21st site in the Nelson Tasman region and is open 24/7, with eight filling positions for cars. It will also offer 100Plus, NPD’s new high-octane performance petrol. 100Plus is one of the highest octane, road legal petrol grades to be offered in New Zealand from an established fuel retail network. Chief executive Barry Sheridan says NPD is committed to bringing cheaper fuel throughout New Zealand and its selfserve model is part of that strategy. “Our experience is that when we open a new site with our discounted pump prices, it increases competition and brings a real benefit to motorists. Parkers Rd is an important part of our network. “We believe that by
The government's role in a new horticulture strategy is to help with some of the structural challenges facing growers. The Covid Recovery Strategy for Horticulture was launched in Tasman last week by Agriculture Minister Damien O'Connor, and the head of Horticulture New Zealand, Mike Chapman. It aimed to provide the framework for placing horticulture at the forefront of New Zealand's post-Covid economic recovery. Chapman said that during lockdown, the industry worked closely with government to ensure that they could keep growing and harvesting. Now they want to keep that momentum going as the industry faced significant challenges, especially around worker shortages, he said. "The success of this new level of co-operation led to the conclusion that

We also support the New Zealand economy by using local contractors for various site support activities including regular pump checks, maintenance and cleaning.” Barry says the site accepts all major credit cards, EFTPOS, and the NPD Fuel card.
NPD has more than 70 sites in the South Island and is scheduled to add another 16 sites this year. In the North Island, it has announced the $100 million roll out of 32 sites over the next four years, with New Plymouth, Hamilton and Wiri in Auckland all opening before Christmas. Barry says Aucklanders are paying too much for their fuel and NPD’s entry to the
North Island will make a real difference for motorists. “Competition is the key to lower fuel prices for motorists, as proven in the South Island. “North Island motorists are simply paying too much. We want to make people aware of the significant discrepancy between north and south pump prices. This clearly signifies a lack of genuine competition in the North Island fuel market.”

it would be great if we all continued to work together to develop a strategy combining industry and government expertise. "The outcome we are all looking for is growth, jobs and regional economic prosperity, within the context of the broader recovery." Horticulture is now a $6.4 billion industry which employs 60,000 people nationwide and exports $4.2b worth of produce annually to 130 countries. The chief executive of Vegetables New Zealand welcomed the strategy, and hoped it would provide a better mechanism for the industry and government to work better together. Antony Heywood said there was a wealth of expertise in the horticulture industry that was "often compromised by a lack of government insight into and understanding of the industry".

New campaign to tackle post Covid-blues Staff Reporter Covid-19 has hit Nelson Tasman’s economy hard but a bold marketing campaign is aiming to showcase the region to New Zealand. ‘We’ve got this / Kei a Tātou’ aims to project confidence and locals are being asked to share what they love to support local business and promote the region. The campaign is part of Project Kōkiri, which was initiated during lockdown to build an economic strategy to speed up the region's recovery. Locals can expect to see a pointing finger - one of the campaign's logos, making an appearance in news feeds and across the city. Project lead and Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce CEO Ali Boswijk says Nelson is a "challenger brand" and needed to take a few risks to get some attention. "For a small region with a limited budget to cut through at a time when there is so much competition for domestic visitors and when ‘support local’ campaigns are filling our news feeds, we needed to do something more than focus on sunshine hours and the relaxed pace of life,” she says. The term ‘we’ve got this’ will be used to create a sense of confidence among locals that the region is in good hands and the economic recovery is well under way. It will be used to show what the
region has to offer - from stunning natural attractions to innovative businesses; a vibrant arts and culture scene to successful sports teams; world-class restaurants to artisan producers. The campaign is aimed at all residents and sectors and is designed to complement the region’s existing marketing activity. A launch video features locals like Pic Picot, Mayor Rachel Reese and comedian Guy Williams, but the success of the campaign relies on everyone - residents, schools, businesses, community groups, social influencers, media outlets and expats - playing their part and sharing the best of what the region has to offer. “Community input will be crucial,” says Ali. “We’re stronger together and while it might seem like there’s not much you can do to help at a difficult time like this, every post on social media and every poster that’s put up in a shop window will play a role in speeding up our recovery.” She says there are a number of different ways you can get involved. Locals are being asked to film or photograph their favourite places, businesses and products from the region and share them on social media with the hashtag #nelsontasman or the tag @ NelsonTasmanNZ. Or they can send in their submissions via email to wevegotthis@ nelsontasman.nz.

Local men on trapping mission
Sara Hollyman A local volunteer group have found their calling and it’s slowly helping remove pests from across the region. Menzshed Nelson/Whakatū are a group of retired or retiring men that gather twice a week in a practical shed environment to develop and share skills while contributing to the local community. They do this in a variety of ways, with recent projects including building mud kitchens for local
playcentres, a refurbishment of the Maurice Gee chair in the Maitai Valley, and a project for the Nelson Children’s Ward. However, since lockdown, and the month preceding it, the group has been busy making rat and stoat traps, and the orders keep rolling in. The group is about to round off building its 600th trap, which volunteer Colin Johnstone says started from building ink rat traps for the Brook Waimārama Sanctuary. Colin says orders have now
come in from Department of Conservation, Nelson City Council, Tāhunanui Bowling Club and the Marsden Valley Trapping Group. He says you can even order one for your backyard for just $30. The traps have been hard on the volunteer groups tools though, many of which are donated hand-me downs. “Because of the traps we’ve had to invest in a good quality skill saw, you can’t use hand-me down tools for making 600 traps,” says volunteer Wayne Logan.
With 45 cuts in each trap, the group is now on a mission to upgrade some more of its power tools. “We’re trying to upgrade some tools so we can do some more projects,” says Wayne. For now, the group will push on to get the 600th trap out the door, some members starting before 8am to make sure the work is completed. Anyone interested in joining Menzshed Nelson/Whakatū or donating can visit www. menzshed-nelson.org.nz/
Trustees of the Network Tasman Trust have decided to undertake a number of initiatives to support the region following the Covid-19 pandemic. Chair of the Network Tasman Trust Gwenny Davis says Covid-19 is having a significant impact on our communities and trustees have decided to support the community in two ways. Firstly, she says that the Network Tasman Trust has made a number of donations to local charities dealing with frontline poverty in the Nelson Tasman region. The trust has donated $5000 each to the Salvation Army, St Vincent de Paul and the Community Food Bank and a further $10,000 to the Fifeshire Foundation. “The trust has also decided to bring forward the December trust distribution to September, this payment of $80 will be credited against consumers’ September power accounts”. Gwenny says that trustees were pleased with the decision to increase the line discounts paid to consumers in July by $1 million. “This increase in line discounts as well as the decision by the Trust to support a number of local charities and to bring forward the annual payment to consumers, will provide financial support to our consumers and the community during this difficult time.”

Inspirational space for budding food businesses
There’s been a really exciting development in Stoke with the recent opening of a new purpose-built facility to mentor and upskill budding food businesses. The Food Factory is the brainchild of Pic Picot of the nearby Pic’s Peanut Butter World. The facility attracted funding from the Provincial Growth Fund and is operated as a charitable trust. It was officially opened last month by the Parliamentary Under Secretary for Regional Economic Development, Fletcher Tabuteau. “We are thrilled to have been able to attract tenants so soon after moving from Covid restrictions,” says Pic, a trustee of the venture.
cracker-style biscuit.” The Food Factory building is owned by Kapco Property Limited, an associated company of Coman Construction. “When Pic had the idea, he approached Bill Coman who had just started getting the floors down,” says Lou. “So, it was a big move to take on the lease, but it all fell into place; we got the funding which meant we were able to have the building ready in a really short period of time. Recently we hosted a Business after 5 event with 100 local businesses who attended and the feeling was very positive, with people happy to support it.” “It’s encouraging that these businesses have optimism for the future and their products in this post-covid economic recovery
phase.” Other trustees include local business leaders Julian Raine of Oaklands Milk, Debbie Hannan and Mark A’Court of Fresh Choice Nelson. The Food Factory consists of four commercial food-grade kitchens, that also encompass warehouse and chiller space, staff amenities, and a presentation kitchen to display and wow visitors. “Here we can showcase unique local products and ultimately enhance Nelson’s reputation as New Zealand's food bowl,” says Lou Smith, who plays a
key role with The Food Factory. Lou says they opened just seven weeks ago and are delighted to already have several tenants onboard.“We have Little Beauties who are processing and packaging dried feijoa, kiwifruit and boysenberries, and Fresh2U, an online home delivered organic fruit and vegetable supplier.” Lou says Little Beauties were one of the first tenants and Lucy Maxwell who owns Fresh2U came during the lockdown because of a massive demand for fruit and vegetable home deliveries. “Recently, Proper Crisps has joined us too; they are doing a lovely

Factory idea stems from Pic’s past The inspiration for creating The Food Factory harks back to Pic’s early days in the 80s, when he set up a small woodwork business within a large semi-derelict warehouse in Parnell. “I was making woodware; others were making shoes, restoring cars, building boats, all sorts of things,” says Pic. “Everybody just sought of ‘did stuff ’ and learnt from each other – there were no ‘experts’ or ‘trainers.’ We had smoko and Friday night beers; it was a great place to work. We learnt through trial and error, which is what I had in

knowing that I can rely on TFF to help facilitate growth.” Little Beauties owner Tristan Wastney says growing global demand for their products meant they needed another site for product development and finishing work. “The Food Factory is the perfect solution for us at this stage of our business journey – it has quality kitchens and we get to collaborate with other awesome food and beverage businesses.

Helen Moulder is performing her one-woman play during July and August at her temporary theatre on Collingwood St. Photo: Tim Cuff. “After lockdown, they suggested I went and looked at a certain shop, and when I saw it, I realised it would work. It was wide enough for an audience with an indented space that could be a stage.” Directed by Brisbane-based Sue Rider, Helen describes ‘The Bicycle and the Butcher’s Daughter’ as a “funny and moving” account of a family in crisis. “It’s a family story - family tensions, family drama.” The story follows Olivia Paterson,
a high-powered executive at the peak of her career, running a large meat exporting company. Olivia wants to feed the world. But her daughter is a vegan, and her father wants things to stay as they are. So, when Olivia’s business plans cause conflict within her family, she must figure what is more important - the company’s survival or her relationship with her daughter and her aging father. The play opened on 16 July and runs until 16 August - but Helen says if bookings are full, she will continue it longer. “It’s been a really wonderful opportunity to launch a new play - and, so far, it’s been full every night and the bookings are going really well. We’ve had some lovely feedback from audiences, so they seem to be enjoying it.” The Bicycle and the Butcher’s Daughter is on at Shopfront Theatre, 105 Collingwood St, during July and August.

David’s second chance at glory Jonty Dine Reporter
jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz
A two-year hiatus away from the game to care for his sick mother looked to have ended David Englestaff ’s dream of playing professional rugby. However, the 28-year-old has been given a second chance at securing a contract and the opportunity to train with one of the best franchises in the world. David is one of five hopefuls representing each Super Rugby side as they compete in a TV show ‘Second Chance Charlie.’ The winner will receive $10,000 and a 12-week training and development programme with a Super Rugby franchise. Born in Wales, the only country that rivals New Zealand in terms of passion for the game, David grew up with a rugby ball in his hand. Having gone as high as Tasman B and Buller, his hopes of achieving his on-field ambitions appeared over when he received a fateful phone call. While in Southland with the Mako reserves, David’s mother informed him she had breast cancer. With David’s sister raising two

Photo: Supplied. young children, he made the decision to fly home and care for her. Putting his career on hold, David lost 25kg of muscle as he took up running to fill the physical void. “It was just easy to throw on the trainers and head out.” Having helped his mother through successful treatment, David returned to Nelson where
he coached rugby and took part in triathlons and ironman events. However, a chance tag in a Facebook post would eventually see him representing the Crusaders in the ground-breaking new show. “I thought there was no reason I can’t give it one more crack.” As part of the show, David and his fellow contestants have undergone rigorous fitness and
nutrition regimes. David also spent time with the 10-time Super Rugby champions. “Seeing how polished the Crusaders are was amazing,” he says. “It’s been a hell of an experience with a great bunch of lads, we have been on some great trips, learnt a huge amount and had some fun on the way.” David says he feels fitter and
stronger than ever after the programme, which brought out the competitiveness in all of them. “There was a huge amount of camaraderie, but at the end of day we were trying to bring out the best in each other and, with a once in a lifetime opportunity, I was going to put my best foot forward.” David has since returned to club rugby for Nelson RFC where he says he feels like a different player. “I feel a lot sharper, clearer and more motivated.” With the show still airing bi-weekly on Three, other than a few close friends, no one knows what the result, announced August 6, will be. “It has given me a new lease on life, and it will be exciting to watch it unfold.” He says one of the key lessons he has taken is enjoyment of the game. “A lot of people put so much pressure on themselves and that can prevent them from making it, the thing I’ve learnt the most is to play to have fun.” David says you only have to look at guys like Karl Tu'inukuafe or Kane Hames, who went from club rugby to the All Blacks within 18 months. “It’s never over until the day you hang up the boots.”

depth in the six-try rout. Lock Max Hicks is always going to stand out on the field with his tall frame, but the young lock was in sensational form, scoring a double with a third ruled out and making several surging breaks. Elsewhere, a top of the table clash took place in Riwaka between Waimea Old boys and Kahurangi. Kahurangi's 23-22 win saw them go top of the table before Saturday’s loss. Meanwhile, Nelson finally picked up its first win of the season in the later game at Trafalgar, prevailing 39-24 against Stoke. Nelson now moves into the top four with two wins and four losses.

Marist picked up its third win in seven days as the Tasman Trophy champions pipped competition leaders Kahurangi 33-30 at Trafalgar Park on Saturday afternoon. A late surge from the visitors ensured a flattering scoreline as Kahurangi’s missed shots at goal came back to haunt them. Marist coach Gavin Briggs says it was always going to be tough to get his men up again. “Kahurangi have shown that they stick in it for 80 minutes. We had opportunities to make it much easier for ourselves, but our discipline let us down.” Gavin says it was disappointing to let the foot off the throat late in the game. “We will take the win, one point or 100 points, it doesn’t really make a difference.” He says the schedule has been demanding, but they are making the right noises at the right time. “From where we were when the comp started to where we are now, it’s pleasing to see.” The result sees Kahurangi knocked off the top off the table, surpassed by Waimea who

Care is at the heart of everything we do. Stephanie, Stillwater Lifecare
If you or a loved one are looking for Care or Independent Living, Stephanie is here to help. Stephanie joined Stillwater as Manager in June 2020, after spending 5 years as Manager at Flaxmore Lifecare (Dementia Care) and over 32 years as a Manager in Aged Care in Australia. “A Better Everyday”, for Stephanie is one where each resident is able to “live their day”. “Everyone is an individual and we fit our day around how they’d like to spend their day. If they’d like to have breakfast in bed or at 9am have a sleep in, so be it.” For those residents coming into the Care Home at Stillwater, the first thing Stephanie will do is
to work together with the resident and family to create a ‘My Life’ poster which goes on the wall.
“It’s all about what your loved one needs, rather than what we can offer”.
“Everyone who comes into that room will get a really good snapshot of who this person is, the life they have led, what they enjoy in life, likes and dislikes and what their spiritual and holistic needs are.”
If you or a loved one is in need of Care or are interested in joining our vibrant community, Stephanie would love to catch up with you. She can also talk you through the Needs Assessment process.
She’s very passionate about working with families and the local community. There is an open-door policy at Stillwater. “Family can talk to us at any time and I promise there is always an answer or a solution to everything.“ Having experienced her own father’s journey through Aged Care, Stephanie knows how important it is that the family are listened to and are able to have complete trust in the people who are taking care of their loved one.

Trish’s lifelong love of tennis Locally Owned and Operated
Over the next few months, sports reporter Jonty Dine will be putting the spotlight on our off-field superstars. These people work tirelessly to make sports in our region happen - without trophies or medals to recognise their efforts.
Jonty Dine Reporter
jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Whether it is working at the canteen, running tournaments, or even pulling out weeds, there is no task that Trish Wehner won’t take on at the Richmond Tennis Club. If something at the club needs to be done, Trish will be the first to step up and do it. Her unparalleled passion for tennis stems from the fact it caters to all. Members at the Richmond Club range from as young as four to 90-years-old. “It’s a game for life.” Trish says she loves nothing more than seeing enjoyment on the faces of players. “I just like seeing people having fun.” A life member of the club, Trish has dedicated countless hours to the club in a number of different roles, for almost four decades. “If I do something, I’m going to
do it boots and all, or get out.” Her contributions to the club are countless. Among her personal highlights are creating the Thursday night league, which has been running for more than 15 years. She is the club’s secretary, served on the committee for many years and sits on the board of the Nelson Bays Tennis Association. In between making coffees and writing newsletters, Trish loves to get on the court too. “I’d like to play more but I’m probably in the kitchen more than anywhere else, I don’t sit down very often.” She has also been instrumental in developing junior programmes in the region. However, she is not solely committed to enhancing tennis. Trish can be regularly seen volunteering at events such as

Her monumental all-round efforts saw her honoured with a Lifetime Contribution to Sport Award at the 2016 Tasman Sports Awards. “I don’t do it to be recognised, I
do it because I like it, but it was nice,” she says. Though a treasured member of the club, Trish admits she can sometimes get a bit protective when it comes to her courts. “I do tell a few people off for things like leaving the roller out.” An avid player herself, Trish says she will continue to swing a racquet as long as her body will
allow. “I still feel fit and able, touch wood, but I have no shoulder or limb problems at this stage.” Growing up in Ruby Bay, Trish was encouraged to take up tennis by a neighbour. Though she may not have a cabinet full of championship trophies, her impact on tennis in the region has been immeasurable.

Nelson College beats Marlborough Peter Jones Nelson College came away with the spoils when they met traditional rivals Marlborough Boys’ College in a University of Canterbury championship clash in Blenheim on Monday. In a match that was closer than the final score suggests, Nelson prevailed 43-17, a couple of late tries inflating the final margin. Nelson led 17-7 at halftime but MBC replied straight after oranges with a slick solo try to Kyren Taumoefolau which narrowed the gap to five points. However, a lack of regular field position and quality set piece ball meant the home side were unable to take control of the match. They also suffered from a spate of handling errors, especially in the first half, which slowed their momentum.
In contrast, the visitors, expertly guided around the park by the talented inside back combination of halfback Justin Yokoyama and first five Cooper Grant ensured Nelson made the most of the chances that came their way and kept the home crowd out of the game. They came up against some dogged MBC defence, led by loose forwards Manase Taufa and Toby McLeod, but were ultimately too good for the home side, who battled gamely until the final whistle. Scores: Nelson College 43 (Dylan Irvine, Nic Sauira 2, Jacob NehaManihera, Netani Baleisomosomo, Daniel Dixon tries, Cooper Grant pen, 4 con, Ethan Burt con) Marlborough Boys’ College 17 (Viliami Napa’a, Ryan McLeod, Kyren Taumoefolau tries, Taumoefolau con).

Football: Nelson Suburbs made an emphatic statement in the MPL on Sunday, thrashing Selwyn United 6-0 at Saxton. Nelson bounced back in stunning style from its heart-breaking last-minute loss to Nomads the week prior. A hat-trick for Ross McPhie and a double by Jordan Yong sealed a dominant Suburb’s performance after racing out
to a 3-0 halftime lead, scoring two just before the break to effectively put the game to bed. Nelson now faces a double header against Christchurch United, travelling south this Saturday before returning to host at Saxton on August 1. Suburbs sit fourth on the MPL table, ten points shy of competition leaders Cashmere Technical. Meanwhile, in local division one action, the Rangers continue to dominate with
