City’s multimillion-dollar leakage problem Sara Hollyman
Rosie’s wish for an accessible playground Charles Anderson All Rosie Riley wants is to be able to play on a playground with her younger sister. She is a cheeky six-year-old who loves swimming, music, and kung fu. She also has cerebral palsy. That means she cannot walk or talk and is confined to a wheelchair. Rosie also loves to play and “goof off ”, says her mum Annie. However, because of the design of Nelson’s playgrounds, it means that Rosie can only watch on as her sister Izzy goes off to play.

Nelson City Council is budgeting millions of dollars over the next 10 years to account for undetected leaks in the city’s aging pipelines. Each year council grants between $80-100,000 of water credits to homeowners who have had pipe leakages on their properties, which sometimes go unrealised for months. These leaks make up a small part of a 20-25 per cent gap in water that is supplied to homes and water that is used by metered properties. It’s one of the reasons why $3.6 million has been allocated to water loss reduction in the Nelson Infrastructure Strategy 2021-2051, which is up for consultation as part of the Long Term Plan 2021-31. Other explanations for the unaccounted quarter of the city’s water supply include contractor’s and others accessing unmetered supply – including firefighting, flushing of cast iron pipes to clear discoloured water and inaccurate meters – which is currently being rectified through the meter renewal programme, expected to be completed by 2021/22. As part of the LTP, council has announced its largest-ever budget for infrastructure projects. Over the next 10 years, $491 million will be pumped into key projects covering transport, solid waste, water supply, wastewater, stormwater and flood protection.

FROM PAGE 1 “It’s so important for kids like Rosie that they do get to play and be a kid, but we are not giving them the opportunity for that. This is what it’s about.” So in response to a growing concern among parents with children living with disabilities, Nelson Host Lions Club and Nelson City Council are coming to the party to give children like Rosie something to do at the Lions Playground. Last year, the Nelson Host Lions Club approached the council about organising an accessible carousel that would allow children like Rosie to wheel up onto. “The total cost is estimated to be $17,000 and both Nelson City Council and the Nelson Lions Club will contribute to this cost,”
says council's group manager of community services, Andrew White. They will also be upgrading the current ‘Liberty Swing’ that has been out of commission for some time. Andrew says, the council is “committed to making our parks

this.” The family recently went to Blenheim where they have an accessible carousel installed. “Rosie was with her cousins there and about six of them were able to go on there with her and she had a hell of a time,” says her dad, Blair. “To be able to share with friends and family was huge for her.” Now the challenge is to get the fundraising goal reached. Nelson Host Lions Club has started a campaign to reach the $18,000. President Dave Pullen says it is all about giving something back to children who are less fortunate, and he hopes that locals will get on board to help out.

Railway Reserve underpass under budget at $720k Charles Anderson Editor
charles@nelsonweekly.co.nz
The full cost of the Railway Reserve underpass has come in at $724,000 after the budget was extended several times. The underpass, alongside Waimea Rd, was required for the new access road from the $125 million Coastal Views Lifestyle Development. It caused some eyebrows to be raised when it was revealed that Nelson City Council and NZTA would foot the bill for it – not the development company. The work was initially budgeted at $430,000, then in 2019 that was increased to $519,000. Then when the contruction costing was done it was increased to $674,000. Covid-19 then caused delays which meant that an extra $62,000 was added to the budget. The total approved budget was $736,000. meaning the underpass is techincally under its approved budget. Council’s group manager infrastructure Alec Louverdis says in a statement that the cost includes lighting, painting and associated engineering costs, which was part-funded by Waka Kotahi, which contributed $370,000. “Supporting active transport, such as cycling and walking, is
Nelson City councillors Rohan O’Neill-Stevens and Brian McGurk ride through the recently opened Railway Reserve underpass. Photo: NCC. one of our key priorities and the Railway Reserve is used by hundreds of cyclists each day. The new underpass provides pedestrians and cyclists with a safe way to continue their journey without having to go onto the road.” The reason that council needed to pay for the underpass was due to the historic agreements that council made to cover the costs for any crossing point back in the early 2000s in order to preserve any future southern arterial corridor also known as the Southern Link. The original consent for the subdivision had the
road coming down closer to Beatson Rd and did not cross the Railway Reserve, but added an “potential impairment” to any future corridor. Transport manager Marg Parfitt explained back in 2019 that an agreement was reached that the access road would come out onto Waimea Rd which reserved the future arterial corridor, and in that agreement, council would pay for the crossing point. The underpass was completed in December with the new link road to Princes Dr, known as Clarence Dr earlier this month.

Community rallies behind family NEWS business following van arson Erin Bradnock It’s been a whirlwind of a week for family business Walker Painting and Decorating after their van and equipment was stolen and set on fire in Isel Park last Wednesday morning. Emily Walker says the van wasn’t insured as they had bought it cheap, assuming it would break down before anything else would happen to it. The van was completely destroyed by the flames and expensive equipment stored inside was stolen by the vandals. Emily estimates the loss of the water blasters, paints, paintbrushes and sanders at about $11,000. “It was sad and frustrating news. We’re a small family business, we don’t have endless amounts of money,” says Emily. Emily says police told her there was little they could do as the fire would have destroyed any fingerprints or further evidence. Emily and Matt say it was frustrating hearing police wouldn’t be investigating further. “For us it’s not just a petty theft, it’s our business,” says Matt. They persisted with police, asking them to review CCTV footage in neighbouring businesses. Thanks to their perseverance, police told the couple on Monday that they

Despite the negative impact of the theft and fire, Emily and Matt have been blown away by the generosity of the community. Not long after the incident, a customer of Walker Painting and Decorating started up a Givealittle page that is sitting upwards of $4,500. “We want to be able to say ‘thank you’ to every single person who's donated,” she says.
Emily and Matt have also been lent a van by Jason Gardiner Builders Limited while they search for a new van with updated security. The pair have also been gifted a $2000 voucher for Placemakers from GJ Gardener Homes to replace their tools. “It’s been amazing, every single one of our neighbours has been round for a chat and offering support, we have a great community here,” says Emily.
$340k paid after Greenmeadows fiasco: Nelson City Council have recouped $340,000 from the companies which oversaw construction of the Greenmeadows Centre. But those parties are able to wipe their hands of any admission of liability. The centre was originally tendered for $4.95 million by Watts and Hughes, an Auckland construction company. However, after delays and concerns to the quality of the build, the ultimate cost was $7.19 million to Nelson City Council and opening was delayed by two years. It is understood Watts and Hughes and project managers Onus have been in mediation with the council for some months. Council said in a statement that the remaining details of the matter “are confidential to the parties”. Victory Boxing charity dinner: It was billed as a night with the stars and it didn’t disappoint with 360 people packing the Rutherford Hotel for Victory Boxing’s annual fundraising dinner. The dinner featured
comedian Raybon Kan, All Black Liam Messam, WBO boxing champion Geovana Peres and actors Cohen Holloway and Martin Henderson. The evening raised more than $50,000 with $26,700 of that coming from the auction, where a helicopter trip for 12 people from Nelson to Awaroa Lodge went for $10,000. Victory Boxing programme director Paul Hampton says he was thrilled with the night. “[It was an] incredibly successful night. The goal of the night is a celebration and awareness of what we do but to raise this amount of money gives us real confidence to continue with what we’re doing.” Victory Boxing offers fitness classes for a range of groups including children from its gym on Vanguard St. Paul says the guests were great sports, in particular Martin Henderson, who was an unexpected guest. “He was just in town between filming, I knew about an hour beforehand that he was going to come along and he was great in getting up on stage to answer some questions, it added so much to the evening, having him and Cohen on stage together.”

Future Access Plan in limbo Sara Hollyman
A lack of funding could see further delays to Nelson’s much maligned Future Access Project. The Nelson Future Access Project has been ongoing and controversial since it began as the Nelson Southern Link Investigation in 2015. In 2018 it became Nelson’s Future Access project to incorporate its inter-relationship with the Rocks Road Walking and Cycling Project. Public consultation began on
three long-term options in June 2020 with a detailed business case due to be completed later that year. However, council has been advised that the project is running significantly behind time and that no decisions on packages of activities have been made yet. Without a decision, Nelson City Council has been forced to put a placeholder budget in its Long Term Plan instead of identifying specific work. This placeholder budget is $30.2m over the next 10 years, which includes a Waka
Kotahi subsidy of $15.4m. However, Waka Kotahi has signalled that the National Land Transport Fund is facing considerable funding constraints, and that it requires 90 per cent of the revenue up to 2024 for existing commitments across the country. As a result of these constraints Waka Kotahi has advised they are not currently approving funding for any new projects over the LTP period (10 years) but will continue to “monitor and review” the situation. Waka Kotahi NZ director
FRESH FOCUS IS BACK: A Nelson group dedicated to educating the elderly has managed to resurrect itself after being forced to close its doors. Fresh Focus was ended in 2020 after 43-years of serving the community due to a lack of members. However, thanks to the tireless efforts of its committee, Fresh Focus has returned from the brink and is back delivering lectures. Maree Powell says she is delighted to continue to offer retirees insight to a range of topics from the Vietnam War to hospice. Fresh Focus meets on Mondays at The Elim Church in Stoke with the next set of talks to get underway in May.

Cawthron innovation hub mooted for port Staff Reporter Port Nelson could soon be home to a Science and Technology precinct which will aim to be a hub of "innovation and creativity". Nelson's Cawthron Institute confirmed it is looking to relocate its existing laboratories from its main Halifax St East site as major upgrades are required. A spokesperson says upgrades would cause significant disruption and take several years to complete, and with a major pipeline of research, Cawthron has "opted to invest in worldclass laboratories on a new site". Cawthron Institute's CEO Volker Kuntzsch says the vision for the
proposed precinct is to create a hub of innovation and creativity. Volker says with 70 per cent of New Zealand’s aquaculture industry based in Te Tauihu, the precinct could open up exciting new collaborations with other organisations working to deliver sustainable economic and environmental solutions for the ocean economy. Investigations into the proposed precinct site are still ongoing and subject to further commercial negotiations, but it is hoped a formal announcement could be made by the middle of this year. Port Nelson CEO Hugh Morrison says the vision for the precinct is to attract companies from a variety of sectors.
Nelson City Council is proposing to provide support of up to $5 million for the development of the precinct. There is an allocation of $3.5 million proposed in the LongTerm Plan and project initiation funding of $1.5 million available in the current year. This would be paid for through debt funding at a cost of $150,000 in rates per annum across 40 years. Mayor Rachel Reese says the precinct will support the work being undertaken by council to improve the City to Sea connection, as well as contribute to economic development opportunities and align with the Te Tauihu Intergenerational Strategy.

Inspired Productions have been coming to the school and teaching the students circus skills thanks to funding from Nelson City Council, and teacher Katrina Raven says they also received a Creatives in Schools grant last year. They have been working with local artist, Maia Hegglun, who designed the Taurapa sculpture that sits by the waka landing site at Rutherford Park. “He comes in every week to work with the children, and we thought we’d have a creative day so our families can see what the kids have been doing.

The next generation of journalists have been busy honing their craft at the Elma Turner Library and the future of media looks bright. From interviewing skills to deciphering what is and isn’t ‘fake news,’ the team of six budding young reporters share a passion for telling stories. Isla Galbraith, Sam Turner, Daniel MacBrayne, Lucy Daughtrey, Claudia Packer and Mia Peacey form the Nelson Media Club. “News is important because if we didn’t have news, you wouldn’t know what’s happening in the world,” says Sam. The group have a wide range of special interests from politics to art but share a common belief about what makes a good news story. “It has to be interesting.” The team has already managed to complete a newsletter for the library, just managing to meet their deadline and then celebrating with three packets of biscuits. They admit working to a deadline can be stressful, but the work was very rewarding. Their first issue included a review of the new pop-up playground in the CBD and they have already begun brainstorming for their next one. Digital engagement librarian Laura Findlay runs the club with children's and young adults' librarian Nicki Sharpe and says they wanted to do more for youth around digital and information literacy skills.

Over the next 10 years, $491 million will be pumped into key projects covering transport, solid waste, water supply, wastewater, stormwater and flood protection, as part of Nelson City Council’s Long Term Plan proposal. Photo: File.
City’s $490m infrastructure plan FROM PAGE 1 Over the next few weeks, the Nelson Weekly is taking a closer look at the biggest spends on the council agenda. First up is infrastructure which will represent 73 per cent of the council’s capital spending and almost 50 per cent of its operational expenditure. Council’s group manager infrastructure, Alec Louverdis, says the team has been working hard with consultants and contractors to ensure it can deliver on the largest LTP budget yet. “We believe we have the capacity and the will to deliver it, and there are some quite chunky projects within that budget.” Key projects will include: Completion of the Saxton Creek Upgrade ($20m), Maitai flood mitigation
($10.6m), water supply and wastewater renewals ($20m each), Nelson Regional Sewerage Business Unit ($58.4m capital expenditure, $10.5m operating costs), Atawhai Rising Main renewal ($23m), as well as gaining a new resource consent for the Nelson Wastewater Treatment Plant, increasing capacity for growth and National Transport funding priorities and challenges. A large portion of Nelson’s water supply and wastewater network was installed between 1950 and 1970 and a big part of that is due for renewal from 2030 onwards. To handle that work, council has brought forward some of the renewal to “spread the load”, allocating $20m to each over the LTP period. Alec says council has identified a “wall of renewals” in the not-too-distant future

and has decided to increase the renewal programme now to ensure that future generations are not left with an unmanageable task. “Yes, we have to have a balance. We’re one aspect of the council and it’s all about affordability but it’s also about being good ancestors. We’re setting a reasonable pace so we’re not leaving a legacy for those coming after us who would have an insurmountable task.” The Atawhai Rising Main, which sends half of the city’s wastewater to the Nelson Wastewater Treatment Plant, is also up for renewal in the next 30 years, with council opting to bring the first stage of replacement forward. Alec says renewal of the pipe between the newly upgraded Corder Park and Neale Park pump stations will take a lot of planning but creates an
opportunity to further look at the resilience of the network. “We are looking at that in terms of size, location, materials, a whole range of things, we are looking at resilience so probably not just one pipe we will be looking at a dual-pipe system.” Alec says a key question they want the public to provide feedback on is are they satisfied with the level of infrastructure investment. “We are spending a lot more on infrastructure and we want to know are the public is satisfied with the proposed level of investment, would they prefer to reduce the spend or would they like more?” To make a submission and have your say on Nelson’s next 10 years or to read the consultation document go to www.shape.nelson.govt. nz/ Feedback is open until April 21.

Opinion
WEDNESDAY 24 March 2021
Opinion Your Voice
Nelson's 10 year plan: Many people are going to have great difficulty meeting the rate rises council is projecting for the next ten years. Nelsonians have had very significant rate increases over the last decade, and the current plan only accelerates those increases. The vanity projects planned by council such as a climatorium and a new library take precedence while essential work on our sewer system is being deferred. At a time when people are still affected by the impact of Covid-19 on our economy, and pensioners are getting nothing from the bank after taxes and inflation, council has lost touch with the people it is supposed to represent. Dan McGuire
‘Leave our buses alone’ Tāhunanui residents: I’m thinking Nelson City Council have realised
Labour and the Greens are making a shambles of transport policy in Nelson and nationally. Congestion is getting worse. Promised infrastructure is not being delivered. Basic services like driver licensing is failing. Nelson has just published its 10 year plan with no major transport NZTA projects for a decade. Fuel taxes and road user charges have been increased four times. The Government now takes over
they stuffed Muritai St with bike lanes etc and it makes it difficult for the bus. Robin Lawes
Yes, they have made an absolute mess of Muritai St. On a recent visit I was totally gobsmacked to see what had been done. June Gerard How absolutely ridiculous - so many people get on and off there, lots of parents with children. They need to look at the overall community. Sarah Mitchell Stupid idea. More people live in Muritai St than the main road. Passengers heading south will now have to cross the main road to get to Muritai St and beyond. This can only result in tragedy. Wayne McMahon The moving of buses from Muritai St is pretty silly. Hopefully in the final wash that route will be retained. Also, the proposed airport link needs to be to Richmond as well as the
$100 million a year from Nelson and Tasman but it is not being spent here. It is highway robbery! The Government has an ever growing list of broken transport promises. Jacinda Arderns first policy announcement on becoming Labour leader was light rail in Auckland saying it would be built and operating by 2021. It has not even started. She also promised Skypath, a walking
editorial@nelsonweekly.co.nz facebook.com/nelsonweekly www.nelsonweekly.co.nz Nelson CBD. Dennis Goodman No, keep that bus route off the main road in Tahuna, because the majority of buildings on one side are businesses. The current route is fine as it reaches more residents. Kahurangi Hippolite Is the bus having trouble getting back on to Tāhunanui Drive, once it has been down Muritai St, because of all the traffic? Aynsley Vintturi Muritai St is perfect for the bus route as it doesn't disrupt traffic and is safer for those needing to cross the roads. Ari MacKay Put it on the main road. Muritai St is a stupid street with stupid parking now. Dee Toma Council at it again, this is ridiculous getting rid of the bus route off Muritai St. Liz McBride
and cycling link attached to the Auckland Harbour Bridge, that has now been shown to be unsafe engineering. Labour in Election 2017 rejected Nationals commitment of $135 million for upgrading SH6 into Nelson saying there were better alternatives like moving the Port to Rabbit Island or putting a tunnel through the Port Hills. These are fanciful like Labours failed promise of 100,000
Oh man, dumb. I visit my grandchildren who live on Parkers Rd - the other end where no bus stops. Jan Preston Well, it looks hard for the bus to get out of Parkers Rd. So, it would be cheaper to have it go down the main road. South Island History New Zealand The stupidest thing I have heard - the main road is far too busy for school kids and elderly people. Leave the stops alone. Elizabeth Shaw It's bloody ridiculous that the bus doesn't go down the main road. It's great that it does go around and pick up from the side roads but at peak time it should just go straight through. If the buses are better operated, it should get more people out of their cars and ease traffic. Why does this group not seem to understand this? Briony McGuinness Has anyone driven down Pascoe St lately? So many
Kiwibuild homes. Green coleader James Shaw promised Nelson in 2017 $23 million for a Rocks Road walkway and cycleway. Nothing has happened and none of it is mentioned in the 10 year plan. The latest NZTA debacle is Nelsonians having to travel to Blenheim or Hokitika to do their practical driving test. Nelson driving instructors say the waits of more than three months are
trucks and businesses, it’s one of the busiest streets in town. Not to mention the VTNZ driver testing, waste metal deliveries, concrete trucks, timber freight, furniture removals and containers, log trucks and cyclists and school kids walking to Nayland Rd. Kathryn Barlow
Helping deaf children find connections: This is great. Wish there had been more support when my hearing-impaired daughter was young. Guess 40 is a bit old to join this group. Wendy Davies
Elizabeth’s 25 years of service to St John: Congratulations to our wonderful Elizabeth - we are very fortunate to have such a loyal, caring and versatile volunteer in our team. St John Nelson Bays Fantastic, well-earned award. Lois Ronberg
the worst ever. I have had local young people in tears and others driving unlicensed. Labour and the Greens have spent big on changing the name of New Zealand Transport Agency to Waka Kotahi. The priority should be reducing congestion, building the promised infrastructure and doing the basics like driver licensing.

Strength in numbers
How we’re rolling out the COVID-19 vaccine We have secured enough doses of the Pfizer vaccine for everyone 16 years and over in Aotearoa. Any vaccine’s strength is in numbers. The more of us who get vaccinated, the stronger and safer we’ll all be. It will give us more freedom in our daily lives, and more options for our whānau, our businesses and our country. Because when we roll up our own sleeves, we’re helping to protect all of us. Here are the key facts about the Pfizer vaccine: It’s safe
It’s effective
It’s free
It has been approved by our own Medsafe experts. It’s also already been used successfully all around the world by millions of people, and by thousands here in New Zealand too.
The Pfizer vaccine is 95% effective when you receive both doses.
The vaccine will be free for everyone in the country. We have secured over 10 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine. That’s enough for all of New Zealand.
New Zealand’s vaccination rollout plan The rollout plan for the Pfizer vaccine is simple. Everyone in the country aged 16 and over falls into one of four groups. Firstly, we’ll protect those most at risk of picking up the virus in their workplaces – and then those most at risk of getting seriously ill or dying from COVID-19. NOW
FROM MARCH
FROM MAY
FROM JULY
Group 1
Group 2
Group 3
Group 4
Border and MIQ workers
Frontline workers and people in high-risk areas
65+ and people with underlying health conditions or disabilities
Everyone else aged 16 and over
More strength. More freedom. More options. We’ll let you know when it’s your turn for the vaccine. Until then, please keep using the NZ COVID Tracer app, and stay home if you’re sick.

A new library will be a place of opportunity for Nelson. The books are of course important – Nelson’s collection is the most borrowed per capita in New Zealand – but a modern library offers much more; access to technology, community spaces for gathering or performance, archiving and genealogy, a café for socialising, and educational programmes for children.
• Has a Green Star rating of five, and demonstrates a range of sustainable and climate resilient features. For example: Low embodied carbon design, passive heating/ventilation, and solar power generation. For more information on Green Star ratings see: nzgbc.org.nz/greenstar • Is adaptable to sea level rise and river flooding for more than 100 years

A possible concept
Your wellbeing, Nelson’s future – we want your feedback! Every three years we develop a Long Term Plan for our City. The Plan looks at the next 10-year period (with a more detailed focus on the first three years), and outlines what Council will be aiming to achieve, how much it will cost and how that activity will be paid for. Consultation helps us make sure we have considered the things that are important to you, and that you are aware of the impact Council’s proposed activities will have on your rates.
There are eight key issues we’ve identified as priorities.
• Financial Strategy – shows how Council will ensure the level of rates and borrowing are financially sustainable. • Development contributions – these ensure those who create a need for new or additional assets such as wastewater and other infrastructure meet the costs of providing these assets. Council is looking to incentivise inner-city living and proposes changes to waivers for development contributions to assist this outcome. • York Valley Landfill fees and charges are proposed to increase by 20% to address increased capital expenditure to undertake works at the landfill, The Long Term Plan Consultation Document explains what they are, the impact they will have and what we are proposing to do about them. We then ask for your feedback. Whether you agree, disagree or have an alternative suggestion, we really want to hear your views.

Other options considered for the library redevelopment included refurbishing the existing building, rebuilding on the current site to a lower specification, and moving the library to another part of town. However, these options would not deliver all the outcomes desired by our community. More information about our proposal is available online at shape.nelson.govt.nz/long-term-plan-2021-2031.

Library Precinct Redevelopment
Delivering on our vision for Nelson as A Smart Little City, the new library will use innovation and clever design to deliver a climate change-resilient building, and a vibrant, functional place for the community to gather together, learn, and enjoy. It will also be a significant construction project for our City, providing jobs. A modern library is not a nice-to-have, it is a needto-have. At their best, libraries offer people the chance to expand their horizons. They are a gateway to opportunity and a great equaliser for our community.

Local massage therapist, Raewynn Jenkins, who owns Ka Huna Massage, has been in business for more than 10 years. Raewynn mainly provides massage for women, and being an ‘intuitive’ massage therapist, she finds that an issue will surface during treatment. “I go into people’s workplaces to do a 20-minute timeslot, and I often go into people’s homes to do couple’s massages. It’s great for them, because they don’t have to travel anywhere; they can have a massage then relax and have a meal.” Raewynn can come out to do an Indian shoulder, neck and head massage and she also does reflexology. NB: When Raewynn comes into people’s homes, it’s important that it’s a safe, peaceful environment. In recent years, Raewynn has travelled to Hawaii for massage training and she one day hopes to offer Lomi Lomi massage, which is a healing, therapeutic massage. To book a massage, call or text Raewyn on 021 517 3106, and to find out more, visit ‘Ka Huna Massage’ on Facebook. *Mention this ad for $10 off your massage.

The best way to maximise your chance of employers finding you is to have a strong online presence. More and more recruiters are searching for potential employees online, so take a few minutes to make sure your profile stands out. 4. prepare your referenceS Having the right references can make all the difference to landing a potential job. When you’re ready to start applying for roles, get in touch with your referees, let them know you’re applying for work and ask if they’re happy to vouch for you. If you get to the stage where you’ve been interviewed for a role, it’s a good idea to contact your referees again to make sure they know the details of the particular job you’re going for and the aspects of your experience or skills you’d like them to highlight. 5.

Do you have an ideal job in mind, or a business you’ve dreamt about working for? If so, consider going direct to them, expressing your interest in working there and asking about job opportunities. You’ll want to research the business thoroughly before you reach out, but there are plenty of ways to tailor your communication to maximise your chance of success. 10. conSider volunteering When setting goals, you might have realised there’s an opportunity to give back to the community. Volunteering is an excellent way to contribute to those in need, but you’ll also gain
new skills and make new connections while doing so. Job searching can be a lengthy process, and at times it can be overwhelming or fatiguing. Trying these strategies can help you strengthen your approach, boost your confidence and get you on track to landing that next role. Broadening your job search to include different activities can help, but it’s also important to be patient with the process and go easy on yourself. Be sure to allow time in your day for enjoyable activities like catching up with friends and family, or taking time out for the things you like best.

Mike’s curious creature creations
Kate Russell
Mike Abeltshauser loves animals, and he loves to build things. So, he decided to combine his two passions. The Natureland volunteer has recently built a goat playground, a rabbit castle, and a meerkat tower for some of the park’s furry residents - along with completing many ‘fix-it’ jobs. “I help with maintenance and repairs - anything that needs doing.” All Mike’s enriching animal creations have been built using recycled materials and he likes to add some quirky details. The goat playground includes a
seesaw, while the rabbit castle comes complete with a carrot flag and coat of arms. His latest creation is the meerkat tower. “They have been enjoying checking it out.” The German native has been involved with Natureland for nearly 20 years, coming to Nelson in the 1990s. “I took a job with Tasman Energy but five years later I took redundancy. Part of the redundancy deal was that I had to invest back into my education,” says Mike. So, he completed an animal handling course at NMIT which involved a practical placement at Natureland.
He continued to volunteer there and for a while was employed as a supervisor before returning to a volunteer role. In 2017, Mike was named one of 11 Kiwibank Local Heroes from the Nelson region, and Natureland manager Ruth Seabright says he is an “inspiration”. “Mike’s amazing. He’s got amazing carpentry skills -
anything to do with wood. “We take requests to him and he just works out what he can and can’t do. Building things is a lot of fun for him. We all enjoy watching the animals explore his creations.” Ruth says Mike helps them “a good two afternoons every week” depending on what’s happening. There are currently 32 volunteers at Natureland.
“We have people who help us with food preparation, cleaning the enclosures and windows, sweeping the paths, and gardening - because to run a place like this there is a lot of upkeep,” says Ruth. “We literally could not function without our volunteers.” If you are interested in volunteering at Natureland go to www.naturelandnz.com or email ruth@natureland.nz

Install a para pool for next summer If you are building or renovating, winter is the perfect time to install a pool, ready in time for next summer. Then you and the family can look forward to fun barbeques in the sun, followed by refreshing dips in your own gorgeous pool. “At Para Rubber Nelson, we have some fabulous pools available,” says Alicia Lasenby, who co-owns the business with her partner Kiley Vedder. “Installing a Para Pool is a great way to add value to your property, and with our Intex Pools, you can pop it up on the same day.” Alicia says DIYer’s can often install the pools themselves, however she always advised people to talk to council about fencing requirements or if it’s an inground pool. “We provide all the information people need with
regards to pool installation and upkeep.” Para Rubber Nelson also provides water testing so you can maintain crystal clear water. “We can tell you exactly what pool chemicals you will need.” Their other speciality is foam and rubber, which they can cut to your exact requirements. “Seats, mattresses, caravan squabs, window seats, cushions – you name it, we can do it.” It’s been three months since Alicia and Kiley took over Para Rubber Nelson, and the couple are delighted with their decision. Alicia worked at Para Rubber Nelson for several years before managing the store for a year on behalf of the former managing director, Antony Heyward. Having stepped into his role,
Alicia’s area of expertise is product knowledge, so if there’s something you can’t see in store, just ask! “Whatever your pool requirements, we can help you out,” she says. “Pumps and filters change over time and become obsolete, but we know who to contact to source the best products available.” Alicia was pleased when her partner Kiley joined the Para Rubber team in February last year. “He has an engineering background, including many years working as a marine engineer, so he has strong engineering knowledge and related product needs.” For enquire about Para Pools, Intex Pools and pool installation, call Para Rubber Nelson on 548 7162.

Students falling in love with Shakespeare Kate Russell
Teams of student thespians will take Shakespeare’s greatest scenes to the stage this weekend. The 30th annual University of Otago Sheilah Winn Shakespeare Festival at Nayland College will see teams from secondary schools across the region come together to battle out the playwright’s best work. “The beauty of the festival is that it is kids falling in love with Shakespeare,” says Annie Millard, who is organising the Nelson regional festival. “We have 11 teams from Waimea College, six from Motueka High School, one from Nelson College for Girls, six from Nayland College, and three from Garin College.” Twenty-four regional festivals are being held across the country from late March to mid-April. Students must present either a five or 15-minute scene from any of Shakespeare’s work, including his poems and sonnets, in any which way. One Garin College team will be performing a 15-minute take on Hamlet, starring two Hamlets - one
‘bad’ and one ‘mad’. “We see the effect of how each of the different Hamlets impacts the other characters around them and how they can change the mood very fast,” says team member Ethan Speers, who plays ‘mad’ Hamlet. “We have cut bits of scenes that show this interpretation of Hamlet the best and weaved it together in a script,” adds Lucien Panting, who plays ‘bad’ Hamlet. “We wanted to do something a bit different, and with Hamlet, as a character, there is just so much to him that you can pick apart.” Ethan says the idea was planted last year, but with the 2020 festival being cancelled because of Covid-19, the team had to keep it up their sleeves. He says they finally began rehearsals seven weeks ago and are “very excited” for Saturday. “I’ve never seen anyone do Shakespeare other than here at Garin College, so I’m excited to see other schools. I think it’s going to be a good competition.” The festival is being held on Saturday, March 27 at Nayland College from 9am - 5pm. Admission is $6 for adults and $4 for students.

Bob does not need a bigger boat Jonty Dine Reporter
jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz
A group of Nelson sailors are proving Kiwis don’t just excel at racing the big boats. Bob Spearman is a lifelong sailor but recently traded in his 47ft cruising yacht for something a bit more manageable. It was at Christmas in 1939 that Bob’s sailing career began after he was gifted a membership to the Nelson Yacht Club. Bob hasn’t stopped sailing since
and now, at 90-years-old, is the most senior member of the Radio Yacht Squadron Nelson. It was during an outing to Monaco that Bob first saw the International One Meter class radio-controlled yachts. “I sold the big boat and so I had to get into something. Someone handed me a transmitter, then that was it.” The club’s 33 members meet at least twice a week for racing at the Best Island pond. Bob says he loves the fact there are no age limits in the sport.
Running: Kiwi ultramarathon runner Caitlin Fielder dominated her field at Saturday’s 31st Kaiteriteri Gold Half Marathon, scorching the undulating course in an impressive 1hr 22mins 53seconds. She defeated all but two of her male counterparts, Clinton Manderson and Dan Busch, who were just over a minute ahead into the golden sand finish shute. Manderson and Busch shadowed each other on the outward leg to the Marahau Valley turnaround but homeward bound-Manderson edged away, seemingly in control until Busch dug deep in a valiant effort to overtake, falling seven seconds short. The 14km allterrain course proved popular and will certainly attract more numbers come 2022. Edward Hohepa led the 162 finishers home - setting a benchmark of 59min 38secs for future chasers.
Swimming: For the second time this summer a swimmer from further back in the field came through to surprise the leaders with the fastest time in the national Banana Boat Ocean Swim Series. Bronson Lloyd started in wave two, 45 seconds behind the first wave, in the 3.5km Legends of the Lake swim in Lake Tikitapu - the Blue Lake - on Saturday. During the race, he swam through the field to join Nelson swimmers Oxford Bayley and Alec Swan in the lead. Swan made it to the line three seconds ahead of Lloyd, but on corrected time the Waikanae swimmer took first place in 39 minutes and 38 seconds. Swan recorded 40min 20sec. In the women’s field, Abbey Smale continued her regal procession of wins, which now extends over nine Banana Boat swims. It was one of the Nelson swimmer’s narrowest wins over the past two seasons, with Talitha Mcewan of Papamoa finishing 12 seconds behind and Sarah Cummings of Tauranga a further 26 seconds behind.
“It’s very social and you can be very competitive. It is such a great club, and the camaraderie is unbelievable.” Bob’s obsession extends to off the water as well. “When I get home, I spend an hour in the garage playing with it. There is a lot of tactical stuff involved like reading the wind.” Nelson is set to host the South Island International One Meter Championship at Best Island in September.

Speedway Reporter editorial@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Former Waimea College student Jeremy Webb dominated the ‘Baby on The Move’ South Island T.Q. Midget title at Milestone Homes, Top of the South Speedway on Saturday night. The current NZ Champion claimed his ninth South Island title - surpassing Jamie Fox and Dave Kerr, who have eight titles each. Next year he has a chance to be the only person in speedway history to claim five NZ titles in row. The return to racing after a Covid break was welcomed by the big crowd with the Jacks Tyres demolition derby being the other feature on the night. Jonti Austin ended his night after rolling his T.Q. in the opening heat. But then he turned up in the derby and was the last car running to claim top honours at the end of the night, winning the derby from more than 30 others. However, the prize money will likely be spent fixing the T.Q. for the final few meetings of the season. President Wayne Martin also made a sneaky appearance in the derby but quickly became a
target once he was noticed. A few super stocks were recovering from the Battle of the Stocks last weekend in Christchurch. The Brett Nicholls/ Jordan Dare pairing just missed winning the battle last week by 1 point. However, he won 3 from 3 on Saturday as the others tried to stop him in the final heat. The stock cars were playing hit to pass and provided a bit of entertainment with Dylan Clark taking top honours on the night. The production saloon feature was won by Jordan Gillespie. The T.Q.’s were the feature grade, Jeremy Webb winning both his heats, while Liam McCoubrey won the other heat.

Jayden Corkill finished behind Webb in Heat 1 but that was it for the night as he was one of a few cars that struck trouble keeping their wheels on the ground. Class rose to the top in the feature but Webb was untroubled in his 9th title win. McCoubrey was 2nd with Kyle Glover 3rd. The top Nelson car was youngster Cambell McManaway in 5th. The production saloon drivers raised more than $4000 raffling a derby car for fellow competitor Pam Nixon, who is battling a rare cancer. The Nelson Knights travelled to Christchurch for the State of Origin Street Stock meeting, coming away in 3rd place. The Covid level changes a few weeks ago have meant some date and promotional changes for the final three meetings. the Easter meeting is now running on Saturday with the NZ Side Car GP kicking off at 5pm, then a double header meeting April 17 and 18, with the South Island sprint cars on Saturday and the Sunshine Sprint Car classic on Sunday to end the season, both starting at 5pm.

Dominik Berghamer The days are getting shorter and the water temperature has dropped but the fishing gets hotter every week. Hundreds of snapper get caught every day, along with plenty of gurnard, kahawai, kingfish and trevally. Almost every spot from the shallows to the 40m mark provides great fishing at the moment and the key factor for success appears to be a good burley trail. These were fantastic conditions for the Dawnbreakers Fishing Club’s annual Snapper Cup which was held on March 13th – one week delayed for Covid reasons. Thanks to our most generous sponsors – the main sponsors this year were Hunting & Fishing Nelson and Furuno – there were over $20,000 worth of prizes to be won which attracted almost 200 competitors! The weather was good and obviously the fish were hungry
because the Club members brought over 300 fish to the weigh in! After a delicious dinner and a few cold ones at the packed Old Boys Rugby Club in Richmond it was time for the prize giving. Despite some microphone troubles Murray Leaning did a fantastic job as MC and together with the sponsors and committee members he handed out dozens of prizes. The main ones went to Shania Greaney who won the junior heaviest snapper category (7.3kg), Jonny Claridge - adult heaviest Snapper (8.5kg) and Sue Hawkins - average weight snapper (2.88kg). Have a look on our facebook site for more results and photos! A big thanks to all our other sponsors as well (again, have a look on our website and on facebook!) and especially to our committee members who put in countless hours of work to make the Snapper Cup such a fantastic event. Tight lines!

We are currently undergoing the free cleaning and best restoration of headstones in the Wakapuaka Cemetery. Most are around 150 years old. While most families are happy for us to do this we understand some are not. If you do NOT want us to work on your family headstone please contact us on 027 548 0757 - Brian.

After a courageous battle, Brett lost his fight and passed peacefully surrounded by his family on March 17th. Loved husband to Helen. Loved father and father-in-law to Andrew, Craig and Natasha Hooper, Nathan and Isley, Alex and Sophie. Loved grandad of Daniel, Ryan, Cameron, Declan, Chad, Joseph and Chloe. In lieu of flowers, donations to The Nelson Tasman Hospice in thanks of the amazing care and support given to the family would be appreciated. Messages can be sent to 18a Clovelly Street, Atawhai, Nelson. As per Brett’s wishes, a private cremation has been held. Simple Direct Funerals
