Local candidates back election delay Charles Anderson Editor
charles@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Nelson’s political candidates are backing a move by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to delay the election to October 17. Ardern said on Monday that
the re-emergence of Covid-19 in the community was a cause for concern during the election period. She said, while the Electoral Commission said voting could safely happen under Alert Level 2, she also had to factor in participation of voters, fairness and certainty.
Nelson Labour candidate Rachel Boyack says it is just a short delay of a month to make sure the Electoral Commission can deliver a safe election. It was previously scheduled for September 19. “It’s particularly important that people feel safe and comfortable when they go and vote.”
Rachel says there have been plenty of events cancelled under Level 2 as well as political parties generally suspending their campaigns. “[The delay] means that everyone has a fair shot and people have a chance to campaign.” Nelson MP and National
candidate Nick Smith says the focus needs to be on making sure Covid-19 does not re-emerge in the Nelson region. “It would have been a distraction to have an election occurring at the same time.”

Women leading fight against cancer Jonty Dine After winning the fight against cancer, a group of Nelson women are donning boxing gloves and taking on their next life challenge. Julie Wotton’s journey with breast cancer started in 2010.
After her diagnosis Julie underwent a full mastectomy, and in 2017 was discharged after five years cancer-free. However, another lump was soon discovered in her reconstructed breast and Julie was forced to endure two more lots of surgery, six rounds of
chemo, five weeks of radiation and was thrown into early menopause while raising her 10-year-old son alone. After defeating the disease, fatigue was a major issue for Julie. Having been a runner prior to her cancer battle, Julie found she would tire quickly,
experience pain and, unable to sleep properly at night, frequently took afternoon naps. “It was hard, my body just felt like it’s not going to do what you want it to.” Then at the start of 2019, she discovered boxing classes for breast cancer survivors at
Victory which she says have been a godsend. “It’s a lot of fun, after surgery I had my lymph nodes removed and so your arms lose a lot of strength, now they are probably stronger than they have ever been.”

Local candidates back delaying of election date FROM PAGE 1 He says that the delay will make for a fairer campaign, but we don’t know if this second wave of Covid-19 will be able to be quickly isolated or if it will “drag out”. Nick says he wants to be supportive of the Government in such an emergency, but he also wants to be able to ask the “hard questions”, particularly around perceived errors at the border. Greens candidate Aaron Stallard says while the whole situation is “unsettling”, delaying the election is a good move as it satisfied everyone. “The greater number of weeks we can engage, then the better for democracy.” ACT candidate Chris Bailie says he and the party are “pretty happy” with the delay.
Political parties had to suspend much of their campaigning while in Level 2. Photo: File. “It had to happen to make things free and fair. We have to get out and about and meet the people and listen to people. It just levels the playing field.” Matthew Pottinger of The Opportunities Party says he has been campaigning since February. "So whilst the extra four weeks may prove useful to any candidates who've left it to the last
minute, I can't say my campaign will be in any way affected. I will however use that extra time as creatively as possible to raise awareness of TOP's key policy of a Universal Basic Income to remove the welfare trap, make work pay and to stimulate the regional economies that have been hit hard with the impacts of Covid-19." Bruce Dyer of the Progressive
Party says he thought the delay was fair and provides more time to establish the party's presence. Sue Grey of the Outdoors Party says the delay of the election was made necessary by the "ongoing uncertainty and paranoia" about Covid-19. Meanwhile, 827 people in Nelson have been tested for Covid-19, which has killed 22 people in New Zealand and more than 700,000 worldwide. Events around the region have also been cancelled while the region remains in Level 2. However, the Nelson Farmers Market in Kirby Lane is still open at Level 2. They have spaced out the gazebo to enable social distancing and ask all customers to use hand sanitizer, contact trace and practice social distancing. While Nelson is at Level 2 the market will also open on Saturdays.

Nelson housing market booms post lockdown Charles Anderson Editor
charles@nelsonweekly.co.nz
The Nelson housing market boomed back in July with the biggest month in 20 years as buyers moved to snap up homes after lockdown. According to the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand’s latest figures, Nelson, Tasman and the West Coast had the largest increase in annual sales volume throughout the country. In Nelson last month, house sales went up by 42 per cent – from 85 to 121. In Tasman sales increased by 56 per cent – from 61- 95. This was the most house sales in July for 27 years in Nelson. The median price for the Top of the South was also up 14.4 per cent on July last year. REINZ chief executive Bindi Norwell says the region all saw median prices increase year-on-year, with the Tasman region increasing 14.2 per cent to $680,000. “There are more first home buyers in the market this month and they appear confident and active,” she says. “A similar number of investors are still present in the market compared to last month

Photo: File. who are looking for rental investments.” Bayley’s Nelson senior licensed residential sales specialist, Kellie Todd, says they have been seeing plenty of buyers in all price ranges with many prepared for multiple offer situations. “We know there just isn’t enough supply for the demand out there. We’ve had a really busy August to date, it’s almost like our busy season has come early, but some sellers are still wanting to wait for spring to launch their properties. We are hoping the spring listings will help level the shortage of stock and balance it all out so we can get some of these buyers into new homes.” As of Monday, on realestate.
co.nz there are 111 houses for sale in the Nelson region and 128 in The Tasman region almost half the number than in June. Bindi says there is a positive attitude from investors regardless of what the next few months may bring. "Overall, the market is busy driven by buyer demand and attractive interest rates as well as the desire for first homes buyers to either get on the property market or investors to remain in the market. It is expected to be more of the same as we head into Spring.” She says the property market “continued to defy expectations” with the increase in sales volumes.

In my view STV is a much fairer system.” Council will advise the public of the change, but if there is a desire to retain FPP there will be an opportunity to demand a poll through a petition, which must be submitted to council by February 2021. The decision to change to STV will have the added benefit of reducing confusion for Nelsonian electors in 2022, who currently have to navigate FPP for council elections and STV for District Health Board elections. Meanwhile, council has also agreed to back a remit to Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ) that the electoral
Reporter

Nelson’s 2022 election is in for a shake up with a Single Transferable Vote (STV) system coming into effect as well as the possibility of a four-year electoral cycle. On Thursday, Nelson City Council voted to move from the First Past the Post (FPP) to a STV system for any future elections. In an FPP system you tick the candidates you want to represent you - with a total number of ticks allowed for the total number of vacancies. However, under a STV system, voters can rank candidates in order of preference, rather than simply pick their most preferred candidate for each vacancy. Mayor Rachel Reese spoke in favour of the change to support increased diversity and proportional representation. She says, while there was a concerted effort in Nelson at the last election to support greater diversity through encouraging more women
cycle for councils be extended from three to four years. Councillors say that a fouryear term would lead to better stability and encourage higher voter turnout. Councillor Rohan O'NeillStevens said it would also help voters make better decisions. "If you've got four years with someone particularly useless, you'll just be more motivated to vote at the end of that (term). "It encourages people to take a much harder look if you're going to be dealing with them for a slightly longer period of time." Several local authorities have already supported the remit proposed by several North Island councils, and which was to be tabled with LGNZ. The council's remit said possible drawbacks include that a four-year term might be a deterrent to potential candidates unwilling to commit to office that long. The remit will be among others tabled at the LGNZ annual meeting in Wellington on Friday, August 21. —With RNZ

Cat Club paws it forward Sara Hollyman Reporter

After nearly 50 years the Nelson Cat Club has officially shut down. Club committee members donated the remaining funds from their bank account - $8800, to the Nelson SPCA last week to finalise the closure. They also donated a storage container which SPCA manager Donna Walzl says is very appreciated and much needed. Donna says she was “absolutely thrilled” with the donation and
says the funds will hopefully go a long way to helping complete the upgrade of the cat area. Founding member Pat Pepperell, along with current committee members, presented the cheque to the Nelson SPCA last week. Formed in 1974, the Cat Club ran the annual Cat Show that at its peak attracted hundreds of entries from across the country. With numbers and interest in the club slowly dwindling, the decision was made to shutdown the club after it failed to form a committee. Long-time members say it will leave a big hole in the community.

Scholarships boost women’s education Kate Russell Reporter
kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Furthering women’s education has always been a priority for Soroptimists Nelson, and for Kiely Campbell it has helped her achieve her goal of becoming a counsellor. Kiely is now in her final year of a BA in counselling at NMIT, thanks to a scholarship from the Nelson Soroptimist Education Trust. She was chosen for their Janice Neame Scholarship in 2019, which provided her with $2000 towards her study. She is now set to graduate this December. “The scholarship has supported me to achieve my goal, which is to complete my degree,” says Kiely, who found out about the scholarship via the NMIT website. “It’s been an acknowledgement that mature women can achieve late in life if they pursue their dreams. I also appreciate that Soroptimists recognise the area I have chosen to study is worth supporting. It validates the work I do in the community.” The trust has been able to award $20,250 in direct financial support to 23 women and girls seeking tertiary qualifications this year, as well as further

Photo: Kate Russell. donations of $1,855 in support of other education and training activities for the region’s women and girls. President Carol Golding says more than 30 women volunteered their time to support the trust this year. “This is the philosophy of Soroptimists, to assist women to get further in life.” Most of their funds come through catering and making Christmas puddings every year to sell, and they also maintain and organise the graduate
gowns at NMIT. “Soroptimists took over the Federation of Graduate Women’s gown business two years ago, and because it gave us a boost in income we’ve been able to give out more scholarships,” says Carol. Applications for the next round of scholarships open at the end of September and can be applied for via educational institutions. New members are invited to join Soroptimists Nelson.

Helping our native birds flourish With Conservation Week in full swing Sara Hollyman joined Nelson City Councillor Rohan O’Neill-Stevens at Natureland to look at the important role it plays in repopulating the Top of the South’s native bird population. Natureland manager Stephen Standley says the organisation’s breed and release programme is the most important one they run, breeding both kākā and yellowcrowned kākāriki to release into the wild around the region. With three pairs of kākāriki and two pairs of kākā, the team have successfully released both species back into the wild. “Obviously our aim is to get as many birds out there as possible but you have to balance that with the genetics,” says Stephen. “If we were to release dozens of chicks from these pairs in one place then you’re going to swamp the gene pool.” He says more kākā will be released into the Abel Tasman during the next year or so and some into the Brook Waimārama Sanctuary. Rohan O’Neill-Stevens says the long-term goal has to be returning our native species to a situation where they can flourish as they once did. “I think back to the experience of being in Wellington and being swooped by a kākā, for a whole lot of people backing on to places like Zealandia, you do get that
Stamp collecting expert to deliver, Wednesday, 5 August: The Nelson Philatelic Society had a good turnout of visitors to its stamp club meeting earlier this month, according to member Ross Newman. “Most of them had read the article in the Weekly.

Avian keeper and self-professed ‘bird nerd’ Holly Turner says by visiting Natureland you are supporting their breed for release work which directly contributes
to birds going into the wild in the Top of the South. “If you are out tramping in the Abel Tasman or visiting the Marlborough Sounds and see birds, it could be thanks to places like Natureland.” Conservation week runs from August 15-23.

Planting a good food idea, Wednesday, 17 June: Stoke GP Dr Taisia Cech says she has had plenty of great feedback on her push for Nelson to become a ‘Good Food City’. “I’ve had several new patients who are keen to look into a plant-based diet.” She has also been contacted by wellregarded alternative practitioners who were pleased to hear of a GP committed to dietary advice as an important part of healing and wellness. She is currently wanting to hear back from Nelson City Council on if they will support the idea. Stoke School turns 175, Wednesday, 18 March: Stoke
School’s 175th celebrations have been changed again due to Covid-19. Instead of the originally planned four-day event, the school will now be marking the occasion for one day on Thursday, 24 September. This will include lifting a time capsule from 1995 at 2pm. Organiser Lucy Jackson says they are inviting people to lift the capsule, view its contents, share in commemorative tea and cake and plant a tree. To register, email stokeschool175th@gmail.com or phone the office on 5477582.
Fresh members needed to for focused group, Wednesday, 1 July: Last Monday was a “sad day” for Nelson’s Fresh Focus group as it heard its very last speaker. The informative talks have spanned 43 years, but with a lack of new committee members it has had to close. “The committee tried hard to find two new people to join, but were unable to,” says member Paul Lunberg. “Perhaps people missing it will endeavour to restart something similar next year and the present committee would surely assist them to get it started, but otherwise it will just become a pleasant memory.”

Schan Crowther was set to launch her own business late last year before she tragically lost her fiancé in a motorcycle crash. Caleb Neho Wikaira died in the early hours of November 3 from injuries sustained in the crash on St Vincent St in central Nelson. Caleb had proposed to Schan just two days prior. Almost a year on from that fateful
day, Schan has realised her dream and launched her local platter business Pereti. Schan sources a range of local foods and displays them in a Harakeke Kono, incorporating her Maori heritage in the product. She says focusing on her business has helped with the grieving process. “It has kept me busy, but I was coming home really excited about things and he wasn’t here to share it with, which was hard.” Schan says Caleb was

Women leading fight against cancer FROM PAGE 1

Julie says to exercise with women experiencing similar things is inspiring. “I feel my energy levels back, even if I’m busy and stressed at work I come here and I just feel good.” She says she would unreservedly recommend it to women with breast cancer. “It is one of the highlights of the week.” Ambassador of Nelson Regional Breast and Gynaecological Cancer Trust, Ros Pochin, says the classes have multiple benefits for women. “When you go through breast cancer surgery you obviously take a physical hit, but you also have a mental hit and definitely a confidence hit.” She says boxing helps with women’s emotional well-being, resilience, and confidence. “This is a perfect combination because you get your physical fitness back, you’re doing it in a trusted environment with women who have been in the same boat, so you don’t feel self-conscious about your body image.” Ros says, following surgery and treatment, women enter an “active surveillance” stage and a drastic change in routine which can cause anxiety and stress. “Then you start the emotional journey, which is longer, harder and takes much more time to get back to normal.” She says most of the women have never boxed before but are welcomed into the environment to form relationships and connections. “Doing something you thought you couldn’t do and doing it well with a group of women is really empowering.” The classes are run by Victory Boxing programme director Paul Hampton. “It’s a privilege to work with these ladies, they have had a big fight with cancer and it’s great to be part of their recovery and help them regain their fitness and self-esteem.” Paul incorporates plenty of fun into his classes through music and dancing. “They love being in here, they don’t feel judged at all, it’s all about enjoying it.”

Ever since meeting on their first day at Nayland College, best friends Rebecca Jones and Rosetta Ciminiello have dreamed about owning an eatery together. Following lockdown, that dream appeared to be out of reach when the WOW Museum shut its doors. However, the women were thrown a lifeline from the building’s landlord and are now the proud owners of The Little Engine Eatery. They renamed, rebranded and relaunched the new look café last
Monday. The pair previously worked at the WOW Café, Rosetta the cook and Rebecca the owner. “We were finally given a chance, no one is more passionate than Rosetta and myself.” With a focus on fresh, healthy, organic, gluten free and vegetarian food, Rosetta and Rebecca have a loyal customer base. “Some thought we couldn’t survive without WOW, they didn’t understand we have amazing support from regulars.” Now with its future secured, Rosetta and Rebecca will look to hire more staff and increase the menu options.

New pools for Nelson? If one of them does not include an Olympic standard pool, it is not worth it. Like the current Richmond pool and “velodrome” and other potential faculties, they do not create any commerce for the greater community. Hotels/motels, restaurants, bars and activities all need such sports complexes to attract competitions and tournaments. To attract hundreds of people at a time to spend and keep our region going. We have three pools and essentially zero incoming domestic tourism from them. Julian Trigg
If it's functioning ok, leave it - there has been hundreds of thousands of dollars spent, it’s a great pool. Harry Davies taught us to swim there in the 50 and 60s. Darryl Kerr
Nayland Pool is a great complex, it doesn’t need to be changed. Spend money on much-needed infrastructure instead, this is not the time to be wasting money. Kate Waide
I feel like Nayland Pool is already very well looked after and shouldn’t need changing. Spend money on things that actually need time spent on it. Arnika Westenenk
A decent spa facility would be nice. The spas at the aquatic centre are never warm
enough and the jets are weak. Sarah Martin
Kids water playground, like Caroline Bay in Timaru has at their pool. Gem Burke Hydro slide and kids water park would be great. Sheryl Jarden Awesome opportunity to upgrade to a 50m flexi facility. Would be a huge drawcard for national swim meets and a great resource for our region’s strong swimmers and community. Melanie Brown I hope they don't pull Riverside Pool down as Nelson is losing all its history with each building pulled down. South Island History New Zealand The Richmond pool (or regional pool as we promoted it) was built as a cop-out by TDC and NCC, they wouldn't take the bull by the horns and recognise the potential population growth in the region and the commercial potential. The land was cheap, building cost way down on 2020 costs now, the political motivation was low. No foresight what-so-ever. Nayland was looked at for a regional pool but the $1 million required was deemed too much and lack of parking (same as today) sank the idea of roofing this pool. John M Young Private booked spas. I would be there weekly

Becka Cullen How about a pool for Motueka instead? Tania Jones About bloody time. Chris Walker We use to go swimming there as kids in the 70s. Was a great pool, had lots of fun. Sue Condron Thursday crash on Richmond deviation: Jesus, what is going on with people's driving? Good grief. Christine Ching I’m down in Nelson visiting … it’s insane on the roads here. It used to be very sedate driving in Nelson - like a Sunday drive, but every day. I was so taken aback by how fast and furious it’s become and pretty much every time I have gone to turn left the person turning right has cut me off - to the point I just give way to them now. It feels quite manic on the roads. Rachel Kerr My friend from Christchurch working up here this week said the same thing. There is zero reason (apart from a medical event) for there to be a crash on that road. Goodness knows what the situation will be like when the mass of 3,000 people inhabits the
new west Richmond subdivision. I moved back to Nelson four years ago, and even over that time I have noticed the increasing impatience of drivers in the region. Not to mention the intolerance of pedestrians. I've nearly been skittled twice on the pedestrian crossing by Nayland Primary when I've been crossing, and cars have failed to slow or stop. Dennis Goodman Helping make Victory sing: Nice article Steve. Looking forward to catching up at our next collaboration meeting. Cheers, Mark.

Nelson Matters It is disappointing that Covid has been allowed to re-establish in New Zealand. We return to costly disruptions to our daily lives with lockdown returning to Auckland. Thankfully Nelson has no new cases. We need to work together to keep it that way. I urge all Nelsonians to heed the health advice. We all need to be extra cautious about not going to work or school if we have any symptoms. We should get tested if advised to do so (my wife was tested last week after a light cough). We should be washing our hands more regularly than normal. We should practice social distancing or wear masks
when not practical. We should all be using the Covid app to assist contact tracing. We need to be upfront that the greatest risks for Covid is to our seniors and we need to take particular care around our aged care facilities. If any older people or others with health conditions wish to isolate and need assistance with shopping, please get in touch with my office. I am also available to help any families or business’s facing extraordinary circumstances from the latest Covid restrictions. I have situations where we have families unable to see dying relatives in Auckland, funerals disrupted and Nelsonians ur-
gent health care plans dashed. Please get in touch as I can often find solutions. It is clear the Government’s border controls have been sloppy. This is unforgiveable given the sacrifice New Zealanders made in April and May to eradicate Covid. Government Ministers said in May that everyone entering New Zealand would be tested. It was revealed in June that 70% were not, meaning hundreds left quarantine without being Covid tested. Ministers also assured us that all staff working on the border and in quarantine facilities were being regularly tested. This was always our greatest risk and where Melbourne failed. It is scandal-

ous that most (63%) of these 6,000 staff have not been tested. Professor Gorman of Auckland University says this error “beggars belief ”. Professor Baker from Otago University says this is most probably how the most recent outbreak started. These recent border control failings repeat the errors that compounded the first wave of Covid. I was inundated with calls in February from returning Nelsonians concerned that our borders were so lax compared to other countries. It was also an error then to have allowed tourists to continue to enter New Zealand on the basis they would self-isolate.
I urge people to be cautious of conspiratorial theories on social media. I take my lead from scientists and health professionals. I ask the Government that they be more open – less spin and more facts. The duty of other parties including National is to be supportive when the Government is acting in the national interest but to be constructive critics where systems are failing. Every country is being sorely tested by this virus. New Zealand has a huge advantage as the most geographically isolated country in the world. We must stop squandering this with sloppy border controls. Advert.

Is your business prepared? Your Success has a sharp eye on the well-being of Nelson businesses. That means using their bread-andbutter expertise in coaching, strategic advice, and accounting to step up and work alongside you during critical economic challenges. COVID-19 has impacted the way many people do business – and the way they act as consumers – and these changes are set to continue. “Having been around for two decades, we’ve seen some ups and downs,” says director Gilbert Robertson. “We’ve got the experience and the empathy required to support and guide Nelson businesses to survive and thrive.” Paul Brockie, director of Absolute Energy Insulation, can testify. “Gilbert brings his expertise to look at the business from the outside, helping us to focus on our direction and future, and opportunities for growth. I have a lot of ideas and Gilbert helps me to piece them together, pointing out alarm bells and giving positive feedback.” Paul is part of full business coaching from Your Success (business mentor), which includes the Lite Fundamentals programme, regular meetings and ‘on-call’ advice.
The company started working with Your Success initially for monthly accounts, before moving on to business coaching. “As part of the programme, Gilbert keeps me accountable. He knows I’m super busy, so he keeps me on track. You can end up doing what’s easy or what you like, rather than what the business needs. Gilbert is really good at helping me to focus.” Your Success’ Lite Fundamentals programme includes six planned coaching sessions, which focus on getting organised, getting more work, and getting more work done. Most businesses find this a great starting point for business coaching, especially if they have not done a lot of work on the business (just in it). “Gilbert understands the business really well; what I want and what I’m thinking. He’s extremely enthusiastic about innovation and technology, he’s a ‘go forward’ kind of guy, who thrives on our success. We can talk to him about anything, it’s like he’s part of the team. He sees my call and he answers it. He almost treats it like it’s his own business. For more information visit www.yoursuccess.co.nz

working flexible hours from home and pursuing their passion. It doesn’t matter where you live, or how old you are – their graduates range in age from 18 to 85! The Institute was founded by Brian Morris, who now resides in Picton. NZBIS started with just three courses, with content sourced from Australia, but he soon ‘kiwi-ised’ it, introducing authors such as Katherine Mansfield, Frank Sargeson and journalist Terry Mclean. In the early days, before the internet, Brian and Carol Morris relied heavily on NZ Post for communication because their students were geographically spread throughout New Zealand and worldwide. Then in the late 1990s, the multi-caller facility ‘NZIBS Telephone Assembly’ was created, and as technology evolved, this was eventually replaced by webinars, Facebook, blogging, ‘Chat to Your Tutor Day’, Skype, emails and
student forums. Maintaining human contact was always the objective, only the technology changed. Today, the institute continues to flourish under the leadership of Principal Dr Liza Pujji. A Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Liza has vast experience in the academic, engineering and business sectors. “We strongly believe if you follow your passion and do what you love, you'll never work another day

Wine and Food Festival cancelled Locally Owned and Operated
Matt McCrorie Nelson’s Wine and Food festival has officially been cancelled for 2021. Organisers announced last week that the festival, originally planned for February 2021, will not be going ahead. The event is currently being rescheduled for February 2022. Organiser Cynthia Martin says that it was not practical for the festival to go ahead next year. “Given the economic downturn, it was clear to us that it was not economically feasible to host [the festival] at the scale and standard to which we have built this event.” Co-organiser Diana Wilkins says that while she’s disappointed, cancelling the event was the right call. “It came down to the fact that we need support for sponsors, and those companies are feeling the pressure, and a couple of them weren’t able to help out this time,” she says. “We didn’t want to put stress or pressure on people at this time.” Diana says the call was made

This isn’t the first time that the event has faced uncertainty. Drought and fire risk prevented the festival from going ahead in 2019, following the Pigeon Valley forest fires. The event also faced setbacks
after it had to change venues, moving from Middle Earth Vineyards in Brightwater to the A&P showgrounds on Lower Queen Street. The event is being rescheduled for February 2022. “We’ll all be working hard for the following year, we want to put together a big, fantastic 2022 event. We’ve already booked the showgrounds, and we will start work next year,” she says.

Nelson granted $2.86m for ‘three waters’ reform Staff Reporter Nelson City Council has agreed to enter a memorandum of understanding with the Government to participate in the first phase of the ‘three waters’ reform and will receive initial funding of $2.86m. The reform is set to improve the country’s stormwater, wastewater and drinking water and the funding will support operating or capital expenditure and aid economic recovery from Covid-19 through job creation. Central and local government agree that New Zealand’s critical public water services are facing urgent challenges. As well as the need for regulatory improvement, additional investment is needed to increase public confidence in the safety of drinking water, improve freshwater outcomes, respond to climate change and increase resilience of local communities. Central and local government recently committed to working together on a reform proposal and a joint steering committee has been established to provide oversight and guidance to support this work. Nelson Mayor Rachel Reese and council chief executive Pat
Dougherty are members of this committee. Central government announced last month that the reform would begin with a $761m budget allocation to stimulate Covid-19 recovery projects that invest in water infrastructure across New Zealand. Funding allocations to councils are based on population and land area. The three waters steering committee will investigate the Government’s preference for the establishment of a small number of publicly owned multiregional water services entities and further phases may involve transferring responsibility for water infrastructure assets to new, publicly-owned water service delivery entities. Rachel says signing up to this first phase does not commit council, with the ability to opt out of the process at the end of the first phase in June 2021. She emphasises that participation is voluntary, but funding will only be received by those that opt in to the programme. “This initial tranche of funding is recognition of the financial challenge councils are facing from Covid-19 but must be spent on water infrastructure projects."

What do you love most about Nelson? The sun, the variety of things to do within easy distance, the people.
What do you love most about Nelson? I love how close and convenient everything is. Especially our outdoor facilities, beautiful beaches and mountainbike tracks, on our doorstep! As a result we don’t sit in traffic or get caught up in long commutes. We are time rich!
What do you love most about Nelson? Being surrounded by the sea and sun; just being in Nelson - Di. Rivers, sea and vicinity to family - Janice.
What do you love most about Nelson? All the outdoor activities and places to explore.
What are three words that best describe you? Outgoing, sociable, determined Where did the inspiration for your business come from? Originally the inspo for the business was to showcase the awesome venues that we have here, and to offer a personalised event management service. This has grown into the busy business we have now, running some of Nelson most iconic events such as Marchfest, NZ Cider Festival and Parent & Child Expo. What do you enjoy most about what you do?

What are three words that best describe you? Energetic, determined and adventurous. Where did the inspiration for your business come from? I started in the flooring industry 17 years ago. It was a local family business with local roots and a genuine desire to do the best for the local community. It was fun and we formed relationships with our customers. Over the years the business was amalgamated and sold to big corporate private equity firms. It felt like it lost its soul. I simply wanted to get back to the way we used to do things and decided that “The Flooring Room” was the way forward. What do you enjoy most about what you do? The great people of Nelson and the enjoyment of seeing how a project comes together to transform their homes and businesses.
What are three words that best describe you? Specialist, hardworking, caring - Di. Perfectionist, problem-solver, kind - Janice. Where did the inspiration for your business come from? My love of real estate and people - Di. Returning from London to live in Nelson, seemed like a great idea - Janice. What do you enjoy most about what you do? Helping people achieve their dreams and goals - Di. Helping people achieve their best life at their individual time of life - Janice. What three people would you like to have a coffee with and why? My Mum, my Dad and my Grandmother. Questions and answers about their life - Di. Other than family, Stephen Fry, David Bowie, Paula Yates. All intelligent, passionate and talented individuals - a compelling combination - Janice. What is something about you that people might not know? I am a former squash champion - Di. I am currently producing a short film for a national film festival - Janice.
What are three words that best describe you? Hard working, focused (mostly), fit (less so than before!). Where did the inspiration for your business come from? I was looking for business opportunities to stay a bit more grounded in Nelson and saw the park for sale on Trademe – I’d never heard about it before despite being in Nelson for around 12 years at the time and that was a big part of what I saw as an opportunity. What do you enjoy most about what you do? The variety and the people you get to meet on a daily basis. What three people would you like to have a coffee with and why? I’d go with any 3 good mates haven’t seen for a while, but some interesting people I’d like to meet would include Elon Musk, Barack Obama and Muhammad Ali. What is something about you that people might not know? I’m a terrible dancer.
What has been your biggest achievement? My two amazing kids.
What three people would you like to have a coffee with and why? Elon Musk, he thinks on such a massive scale! Bruce Springsteen, I love his music, but he also has many other levels to his brilliance. An old friend that I haven’t seen for many years….
What is next on your wish list? Keep growing the business and overseas travel… when we can!
What is something about you that people might not know? I served dinner to Nelson Mandela, twice!

Where did the inspiration for your business come from? Combining my skills in finance and my passion for customer service with a trusted NZ brand. What do you enjoy most about what you do? I offer a free service that saves my clients time, stress and money, and every day is different. What three people would you like to have a coffee with and why? I’d be happiest catching up with good mates, having a few laughs and perhaps swapping the coffee for a cold beer. What is something about you that people might not know? Scott is my middle name… What has been your biggest achievement? My wife says it’s her (of course she’s right) but I am also very proud of our recent company award for Franchise of The Year 2020.
Where did the inspiration for your business come from? I worked for the same company in the North Island on and off for about 18 years, the last 5 of those years running the workshop, So thought it was time for a change, so my wife and I sold our house and packed up our 1 year old and moved south to Nelson and opened up Pit Stop, and haven’t looked back since. What do you enjoy most about what you do? Helping people, I think it's in my DNA. What three people would you like to have a coffee with and why? Simon Mannering, legend, enough said - Bob Marley, been listening to him since I was born - any of my friends (cause they are all GC's) What is something about you that people might not know? I've played rugby in 4 different countries and missed out on a 5th country by 1 day.
What is next on your wish list? I don’t have a wish list, very happy with life and I feel incredibly grateful - Di. Actually looking forward to some travel in NZ, we have this beautiful country we never see - Janice.
What are three words that best describe you? Hard-working, persistent and authentic. Where did the inspiration for your business come from? I had the opportunity to buy a local business, become my own boss, and take care of my local community. What do you enjoy most about what you do? Helping people resolve their pest problems. What three people would you like to have a coffee with and why? My mum because she lives in Australia and I haven’t been able to see her this year. Steve Irwin because I think he’d be an interesting guy. Bob Seger because I like his music. What is something about you that people might not know? I spent many years working on cattle stations in Australia and loved it.
What has been your biggest achievement? I’ve been lucky to have a few highlights such as competing at the Olympics and World Championships, but for me I’m more focused on looking forward rather than back. What is next on your wish list? A holiday.
What are three words that best describe you? That’s a tricky one but I would have to say determined, strategist and fairly brave. Where did the inspiration for your business come from? When I arrived in Nelson I had two children under 5 and couldn’t find a place that I could go that catered for everyone. Modern life is very polarising, it’s either an adult thing “or” a child thing. I wanted to create some spaces where there could be both and that’s how the kiosk came about. The Greenmeadows site I was inspired to do by a venture in my English “hometown” of Bedford, a place called Pavilion at the Park, which was an offshoot of the local park kiosk there. What do you enjoy most about what you do? The people and sense of community. I love acting at the local lounge space where people can come and meet and chat. On the whole a coffee shop is a place of happiness, families and good vibes.
What has been your biggest achievement? Moving to Nelson to open Pit Stop and only knowing 1 person. And over 15 years turning the business into one of the busiest branches in the country and, of course my wife and 3 children.
What has been your biggest achievement? Owning a business which I have made a success.
What is next on your wish list? A week's holiday.
If you were given one million dollars what would you do with it? Buy a nice bit of land in Golden Bay.
What three people would you like to have a coffee with and why? For a celebrity it would have to be Bill Nighy. I literally bumped into him once in London (with my stomach actually since I was eight months pregnant). He was fantastically well dressed and I think he would be hilarious to talk to. Other than that, I find regular people quite often have fascinating lives and once you get people talking its amazing the stories they have to tell.

Tips for becoming a sustainable small business
Most businesses could use less energy and water, produce less waste and emissions and make significant savings by a few simple actions. Talk to your staff! Whether you have a couple of employees or 50, your staff are your most valuable resource in becoming a sustainable business. Ask your staff what your business could do to help the environment and become more sustainable. You will be surprised what ideas they come up
with. Hot Tip - Have a coffee morning and invite staff to share their ideas about being green. Check your meters! You can use less energy and make significant savings by making a few simple changes. However, before working out where to look for savings, you need to know how much energy your business is currently using. Monitoring your energy use can tell you when your peak times of energy use area. It should go down outside core business hours – if not, check why.

pecially at the end of the day. What’s in your waste! Have a look in your waste bin or skip just before it is collected. You’ll probably find lots of materials which can be reused or recycled – some on your own site. However, waste is not just what is discarded into a bin or skip – consider wastage from unused raw materials, inefficiencies in processing and wasted labour. The real cost of waste is often 5 to 20 times the cost of its disposal. Hot Tip - Remove individual rubbish bins and place marked bins in communal areas that are clearly labelled with what can

Fringe festival goes virtual Staff Reporter The Nelson Fringe Festival is going virtual after realising the difficulties of putting on a week-long event in Level 2. The festival was originally meant to occur in May at NCMA, but Level 4 lockdown meant it was postponed. The team then worked hard to get it back up and running for this month, but the latest increase in Alert Levels meant a hard call had to be made. "This decision was not made lightly," festival marketing manager Lisa Allan says. "After setting up for a Level 2 Fringe experience … the team began to have doubts. Out of town artists had begun to cancel and others were expressing their anxiety. The festival vibe in a Level 2 environment was all but gone. We were advised that all of our public and artist special events needed to be cancelled. We couldn't run a bar or do anything that would invite congregating. Issues with artists sharing a dressing room arose.” Instead, over the next few days, the festival will be inviting its local shows to come to NCMA and have their work filmed in the already set-up theatre. Nonlocal artists who have filmable shows can capture their work digitally, too. "We will all do everything we

GENERATIONS OF NELSON Brought to you by Marsden House No Saint
The founder of the New Zealand Company, Edward Gibbon Wakefield, was no saint. His grandmother and guardian was worried how he would turn out. At age 20 he married Eliza Prattle, but she died 3 years later in childbirth. At
age 30, he and his brother, William, abducted a schoolgirl and tricked her into marriage. They were both sentenced to three years in jail, and the marriage was annulled by an Act of Parliament.

For a refund, ticket holders are advised to contact Eventfinda. "Otherwise, hold tight Nelson Fringe lovers, we're going into the unknown together and we're doing it with courage and tenacity and a sense of play that has got to be good for us.”

Nelson Repertory hammer home latest offering Kate Russell Reporter
kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Nelson Repertory Theatre are sure to nail their latest production, The Pink Hammer. The heart-warming Kiwi comedy, written by the late Wellington actress, poet and playwright Michele Amas starts at the Theatre Royal next Wednesday. Set in a classic men’s shed, the story follows four women who have shown up, having prepaid for a DIY workshop with female carpenter Maggie. However, Maggie is nowhere to be found. Then Maggie’s husband Woody, a disgruntled out-of-work builder arrives and is unhappy to find his man-cave invaded by the fairer sex. “The four women - all from different backgrounds and with different issues - convince a reluctant Woody to take their workshops,” says director, Hugh Neill.
“The backstory of the four women presents itself during the play, with an intriguing twist at the end.” Hugh says the “very strong” cast of five was difficult to select. “We were spoiled for choice at this year’s auditions.” He says the show has been wellsupported by Mitre 10 MEGA Nelson, who have covered their flyer and radio advertising costs. “Each night there will be a random lucky seat, with that person getting a gift from Mitre 10.” Hugh says they are still able to continue with the show during Covid-19 Alert Level 2 with limited numbers and social distancing. “In these uncertain times when everyone is feeling a bit anxious, this will really take their mind off things. They’ll go home much happier than when they arrived.” The Pink Hammer is on at the Theatre Royal from 26 - 29 August, tickets are available at www.eventfinda.co.nz or from the Theatre Royal box office.

Former Black Fern at Mako helm SportS Jonty Dine
The Tasman Mako women have called on the services of a former Black Fern in a bid to reach the heights of their male counterparts. Mel Bosman brings a wealth of experience to the role having played in two Rugby World Cups and making almost two decades worth of provincial appearances. After going 2-7 to finish fourth out of six in the championship in 2019, Mel hopes to make the Mako a force in provincial rugby The two-time world champion says she likens the union to a ‘sleeping volcano’. “Our women are ready to unleash and explode, if we give them that confidence to unleash that inner beast, we will be top of the table like our men.” Mel has been on the ground with the side for the last four years in the high-performance academy as the skills coach and coach of the U18s and Waimea women’s sides. She says she recognised the need to take the FPC side to another level and created an action plan to grow the side.
Mel Bosman has been appointed coach of the Mako FPC side. Photo: Jonty Dine. “I’ve been very busy ever since.” Mel is setting her goals high and aspires to win the Farah Palmer Cup by 2022. “The players understand the men started at the bottom of the table for a number of years until they got that structure right.” She says there is an abundance of talent in the region. “They have struggled but they are young in provincial rugby terms ... I know they get frustrated because they do work hard.”
Mel’s philosophy as coach is to act as a mentor and not a taskmaster. “It’s about self-motivating the players and giving them the opportunity to make their own decisions on the field and execute them well.” She says, by just telling players what to do, you create robots rather than rugby players. “We need to empower them and give them that self-belief they can compete with any other team in the country.” Mel didn’t take long to establish a core leadership group within the squad. “Those players bring different levels of expertise but the value they all share is the respect for the jersey.” She says the squad are a tight-knit group and are all great friends off the pitch. “They go to war prepared to die for each other and that’s something you can’t coach.” Mel’s last visit to Trafalgar Park was as an eight-year-old, winning two gold medals in the Colgate Games. She hopes more silverware will
follow as she returns more than 30 years later. The 17-test Black Fern has been playing rugby since she was four. However, once she got to high school, her parents steered her towards the netball court. “When I went to Waikato University, I quickly got rid of the netball skirt and put my rugby boots back on.” In a career spanning the globe and four New Zealand provinces, Mel says her highlight was undoubtedly defending the World Cup in 2010. “Lifting that cup and playing in front of that energy at Twickenham, in front of thousands of people, it was pretty damn special.” Tasman Rugby Union CEO Tony Lewis says Mel is a very talented coach. “When she was available to do this full time it was quite simple, to have a female, and a very good female coach, is exciting.” Tony believes Mel will help build resilience in the side. “I think she will bring a hard edge to the team.”
Football: Nelson Suburbs had a forgettable trip south on Sunday as they were thrashed 7-0 by competition leaders Cashmere Technical. The match was effectively over at half-time with Suburbs trailing 3-0. The result was Cashmere’s eighth clean sheet of the season and sees Suburbs drop a spot to fourth on the table on goal difference. This weekend sees Nelson again head to Christchurch to take on Coastal Spirit.
Basketball: Nelson College won the rights to represent Nelson/Tasman at the AA Secondary School National Championships in October after defeating Waimea 86-78 on Friday night. Waimea College Senior girls also qualified uncontested and will join Nelson College at Nationals.
Football: In Nelson division one action, Richmond and Tahuna played out a scoreless draw at Tāhunanui Fields on Saturday afternoon. FC Nelson had no such trouble finding the back of the net, hammering Suburb development 4-0 with doubles for Thang Thang Vanuk and Nick Crosswell. Despite having played two fewer games, the Blenheim Rangers remain at the top of the table with six wins and a draw.

Clutch droppie gives Waimea win Locally Owned and Operated
Jonty Dine Reporter
jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz
The Nelson division one semi-finalists have been confirmed. A dramatic drop goal from Campbell Parata gave Waimea the win over Kahurangi in an enthralling encounter to conclude round robin action on Saturday. The result sees Marist finish top of the table with the Tasman Trophy champs hosting Nelson next Saturday. This means that Kahurangi and Waimea will square off again in the semi-finals. Kahurangi looked to have all but sewn up top spot with a 14-12 lead and three minutes to play, before Parata’s stunning strike from 40 metres out, which crept over the cross bar. Down 14-0, Waimea showed tremendous fight to stage a comeback and eventually take the lead in front of an empty Trafalgar Park. Parata says he decided to have a crack knowing it was a free shot. “We had an advantage so I knew if I missed, we would get the penalty, but I just struck it sweet and it went though.” Parata says it was an anxious wait as he watched his first-ever match-winning drop goal sail through the up-rights. “It was looking close and I was thinking 'get up, get up'. I don’t know how much it cleared by, but it just snuck over.” He says his side was always gearing up for a fierce clash. “It was a tough one, we always knew
it would be, but we were just happy to stick in there. The first 30 minutes we were down and out, but our fitness kept us in the back end.” Both teams formed a guard of honour for retiring Waimea player Kaide Whiting prior to kick off. It was a tense and tight contest in the first half with both sides struggling to gain the ascendancy. It took 26 minutes for the first chance at points, but Kahurangi opted to turn down a kickable penalty and go to the corner. The risk paid off as the visitors found space and winger Cullain Stringer threw a wide cut-out pass to the waiting arms of Stein Schreiber to go over for the opening try. Schreiber’s converted try would be the only points of the half as the sides went to the break 7-0. Following oranges, Shaquille Rangi scored after two instrumental plays by Willy Havili, first a retrieved up and under before a superb offload. Sustained pressure saw Waimea finally put points on the board after 65 scoreless minutes with replacement Jayde Palmer finding himself unmarked on the wing and strolling over to make it 14-5. A second try soon followed as skipper Ben Eder latched onto a precision cross kick from Parata and powered through the cover to put his side within two points with a successful conversion. With time running out, Parata nailed his long-range drop-goal attempt to put his side one point ahead.
Campbell Parata's late drop goal gave Waimea a thrilling victory over Kahurangi in Nelson division one action on Saturday. Photo: Evan Barnes/Shuttersport. Kahurangi was then awarded a late penalty inside the 22 and they opted to take the shot at goal. Havili’s effort was sent just to left of uprights as Waimea closed out the final minutes for a welldeserved victory.
