Nelson housing at ‘absolute crisis point’ Sara Hollyman Nelson City has the highest rate per capita of people living in temporary accommodation anywhere in the country, new data reveals, which the mayor is

calling an “absolute crisis point” for our community.

Mayor Rachel Reese says housing stability is a huge issue and has made housing a top priority, one that they are hoping they can make real progress on through

the Long-Term Plan 2021-31.

“Homelessness, emergency, and transitional housing is a really complex issue, and it is at absolute crisis point,” she says.

“I’ve had conversations with our school principals who have

children come in at year one and by year six they could’ve moved 8-10 times, sometimes they’ll be moving two or three times a year.”

She says children will sometimes be going into overcrowded housing and even garages.

It’s my first time at this festival and it’s so colourful.

There’s so many cultures here and it’s wonderful to see.

— Abirami Saravanan

This is beautiful and lovely to see. It’s important for different groups to come together and to learn from one another.

— Trudes Vendelbosch, Nelson Tasman Filipino Community

“I know we’ve got children living in garages and families are doing the best that they can, but actually I don’t think that’s what we want for our children. We need to do more.”

FROM PAGE 1 Data released in 2020 as part of the severe housing deprivation in Aotearoa New Zealand report shows that the Top of the South has the highest rates per capita of people living in temporary accommodation.

The data used three measures from the New Zealand definition of homelessness Without Shelter; Temporary Accommodation; and Sharing Accommodation, to gauge how much of the country are living in severely inadequate housing.

When grouped by regional council, Nelson topped the list for the highest rate of people living in temporary accommodation followed by Tasman and Marlborough.

The University Otago report, which was created for research purposes and is not official

on PARA RUBBER

statistics, analysed data collected from Census 2018 and information held by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Council is currently consulting on the LTP and wants feedback on a range of proposed measures to tackle the housing crisis.

Both Rachel and deputy mayor Judene Edgar, who chairs council’s urban development subcommittee, says council needs to be an enabler to the smooth delivery of new homes.

Just one proposal to assist this is by waiving residential development contributions for city centre projects. These have previously been waived with a capped amount in place, but council is proposing to remove the cap.

Rachel says one of the most important roles council can take is making sure they

deliver a customer experience that assists developments and gets houses efficiently to the market.

“Part of that is to make sure our building consent processes are working well, and it’s not a criticism of our staff but the processes that sit around that are clunky, time-consuming, and costly.”

Judene says part of the intensification action plan is to have one key contact to help people navigate through the process of intensification, particularly for those who haven’t done it before.

“If it’s new to you, then actually we need to be there to help navigate you through, we can’t be a handbrake for this, because it is critical,” says Judene.

The pair say key areas have been identified as needing additional infrastructure to

support development which are Washington Valley, Victory, and the city centre.

Things like planning transport, community facility locations, and ensuring the right housing types are in the right places are also taken into account.

“You can’t do everything at once because it’s just unaffordable, so we have to pick some areas.

But what we really want to know is if there are private sector developers who are ready to go to bring more housing to the market and they need infrastructure support then that’s the conversation we need to be having,” says Rachel.

Retirement villages next in line for Covid-19 vaccine Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

The next phase of Nelson’s Covid-19 vaccine roll-out kicked off on Monday, with people living and working in residential care facilities stepping up for their jabs.

Team members from Stoke’s Ernest Rutherford Retirement Village were among the first in Nelson’s retirement industry to get their initial doses and residents will receive theirs via on-site clinics in the coming weeks.

“We want to help protect our people and maintain our village as a safe-haven for our residents and team members,” says manager Brent Maru.

The retirement village is working closely with Nelson Marlborough Health (NMH) on the vaccine rollout.

The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine is also now being offered to older Māori and Pasifika people who are cared for by their whānau.

As of Monday, 1519 people had been vaccinated in Nelson clinics, 350 in Tasman and 704 in Marlborough - bring the total in the Top of the South to 2573.

Nelson Port border workers and the people they live with were the first group in the region to be offered the vaccine, starting March 1.

“We have started to provide the second dose of the vaccine to members, completing their course. More than 90 percent of this group, approximately 850 people, have had their first dose,” says Cathy O’Malley, general manager strategy primary and community at NMH. High-risk frontline health workers were the next to be offered the vaccine from March 10.

“These are the health and disability sector employees who WHERE TO FIND INFORMATION ON THE VACCINE: There’s a lot of information online - it can be difficult to know what’s reliable. We recommend people rely on reliable, evidence-based sources of information about the vaccine: • www.covid19.govt.nz/ vaccines • www.health.govt.nz/covidvaccine • www.immune.org.nz/ covid-19-vaccines • If you prefer talking to someone, choose a healthcare professional who has access to evidence-based information – your GP, practice nurse, iwi healthcare provider, or a Healthline nurse.

are vulnerable to contracting and spreading the virus,” says Cathy.

“We’ve also invited support staff such as orderlies, clinical administrators, facilities staff, and cleaners who work in these areas.”

HOW TO KNOW WHEN IT’S YOUR TURN: • At this stage of the national sequencing plan, vaccination for the general public will start in May for those aged 65+, who have a relevant underlying health condition, who are disabled, or who is an adult living in custody.

From July, vaccination will commence for those who have not yet been vaccinated and who are aged 16 or over.

• There is a new online tool on the Unite Against Covid-19 website that makes it easy to find out which group you fit into. You work through some ‘yes’ or ‘no’ questions and the result will tell you which group you are probably in and the estimated vaccination start date: https://covid19.govt. nz/find-out-when-youcan-get-a-vaccine/ • There will be both national and local advertising to let people know when it’s time for their turn.

Nelson’s new housing cost targets ‘too low’ Erin Bradnock and Jonty Dine The Government’s plan to help first home buyers does not go far enough, says a local real estate agent.

Last week, the Government recognised Nelson as one of the regions needing targeted support. It moved to lift the price cap from April 1 on homes able to be purchased under the First Home Loans and First Home Grants scheme from $500,000 to $525,000 for existing homes and $500,000 to $600,000 for new builds.

The income caps for the

Government’s First Home Grants and First Home Loans will also be raised, from $85,000 to $95,000 for single buyers, and $130,000 to $150,000 for two or more buyers, allowing more potential first home buyers to access Government help with mortgages.

However, director of Kat Campbell & Co. Real Estate, Kat Campbell, does not believe the numbers are realistic.

“Not for Nelson. It’s possibly still too low. The few properties that fall under this price range will continue to be in hot demand.”

Kat says she has seen several first

home buyers forego the home start grant because of the strict criteria, which limits their buying levels.

“There are very few properties in this price range now, with some first home buyers having criteria such as three beds to enable flatmates but a three-bedroom home under $525k is a rarity.”

Kat says she has sold a lot of properties to first home buyers, but the price range varies from $450k to $800k depending on the buyers' circumstances.

She says some areas of Stoke, Tāhunanui,, Victory, Washington and Richmond do have

occasional properties for around the $500k mark.

“First home buyers need to be open to any location to get started on the property ladder.”

Nelson MP Rachel Boyack says that developers have told her that they can build in the $600k price bracket.

“Our infrastructure fund will mean that we can partner with local government and developers to assist with the cost of infrastructure and unlock housing faster.”

However, National MP Nick Smith says he’s disappointed in the plan and believes it doesn’t go

far enough.

“The Government is out of touch with the Nelson housing market with a maximum house price of $525,000 for existing homes and $600,000 for new homes. The scheme is going to continue to fail Nelson and Tasman first home buyers because young families will not be able to find sufficient homes in this price bracket,” says Nick.

Nick says the new caps would be more realistic at $700,000 for existing homes and $750,000 for new homes.

The median price of a house in Nelson was $710,000 in February.

The weeds strangling our forests Sara Hollyman Reporter

sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz

With Nelson City Council budgeting $11.5m for weed control, Sara Hollyman explains how and why it might be used.

On a damp Monday morning, Nelson City Council’s Paul Harrington leads me up a newly built track in Eureka Park near the edge of the Brook Sanctuary.

I can hear birdlife around but strangely do not see any. As we break through from the canopy of trees into the open space, I am faced with what appears to be a wall of vines mimicking the shape of other trees and plants.

Paul, the team leader for parks and facilities activity management, points out a punga tree that has old man’s beard wrapped around two of its fronds. It’s the only native we can make out and he tells me it will be dead in two years if the space is left as it is.

As we stroll along the track, he is explaining the importance of the $11.5m budget that the council has announced for a comprehensive weed control programme as part of its LongTerm Plan 2021-31.

When I first read the budget, I couldn’t quite grasp the concept

of that amount of money being used for pulling out weeds. But as I look ahead and struggle to identify a single tree underneath the thick entwinement of old man’s beard and blackberry, it becomes clearer just how much work lays ahead for the parks and facilities team.

Of course, it’s much more than simply pulling out weeds. Anyone who has ever tried to remove convolvulus from their garden will know, some things just don’t want to stop growing.

This is why council has developed a comprehensive ecological restoration plan to get on top of the problem.

Paul explains that eventually, the trees around us will become so starved of light that they will all die. The entire forest will collapse.

Old man’s beard, banana passionfruit and climbing asparagus are the worst here, as they can climb the entire tree, which then stands no chance.

In the past, the maintenance budget has allowed some areas to be dealt with but it has not been enough to get on top of the problem in the many reserves that the council manages.

A quarter of the Nelson region is reserve land, which is unique from many other council

The initial weed knockdown job ahead is labour intensive.

The team has a range of tools under their belts, including

INTRODUCING TWO NEW TREATMENTS

mechanical means and the herbicide Glyphosate. Council is mindful of how some community members feel about the use of this herbicide and are currently developing a policy around the use of it.

Paul tells me without it, they would need three to four times the proposed budget.

As I stand just a few hundred metres from the fence of the Brook Sanctuary, I look up and can’t find a single free branch for a bird to build a nest in. It’s clear that there is work to be done.

Over the last few years, the kindergarten has been working towards achieving its bronze Enviroschools award, which

was also celebrated.

Kellie says their Enviroschools journey has impacted all aspects of learning, with the children learning how to compost, caring for their worm farm, and growing their own vegetables.

Stepping up for friend in need, Wednesday, March 10: More than $10,000 has been raised for Shave for Youth Nelson. The fundraiser to support manager Maree Shalders and the Nelson Cancer Society was held on March 10.

“It felt really good to be able to do something to support Maree during this very emotional and difficult time.”

Kath says she is loving her new look.

“I feel more like myself than I have in a while. I’m totally happy and confident to go out without a head-covering but I'm also enjoying wearing different scarves.

I think it's made me braver. I think I'll keep it short from now on.”

‘Trailer hearse’ offers different spin on funerals

Last week the Government announced the next steps in our plan to tackle the housing crisis and make it easier for Kiwis to get into their first home.

Our housing crisis has been decades in the making. There’s no easy fix, and it will take time to turn around.

that carries a coffin in the motorbike’s sidecar.

The hearse’s rimu has been varnished to a high gloss and the design has incorporated a lot of glass for coffin and flower viewing. It also has rollers in the flooring in line with a modern traditional hearse. The original trailer was stripped down and replaced with black steel panels and mag wheels.

“The idea was to create a more personal hearse than the traditional ones,” says Alan.

With a regular tow-bar, the hearse can be towed by motorbike, tractor, classic or family car.

The hearse will be stored at the Shone and Shirley premises in Nelson.

Download Nelson App free at

It was a different kind of proposition when Menzshed coordinator Alan Kissell presented builder Karl van Hoppe with an old rimu bed and a disused trailer.

“We’ve been asked to build a hearse,” Alan told him.

Karl had just finished another project and Alan asked if he felt like doing something different.

Karl couldn’t think why not.

The result is an alternative to a traditional hearse and the culmination of the work of Alan, engineer Nevil Basalaj and other volunteers at Menzshed.

The catalyst for the project was Shone and Shirley Funeral

Director’s owner Alastair Hebberd, who supplied the materials.

“We wanted to provide an alternate option for the community,” he says.

Alastair says it was his dad who came up with the idea for the special hearse.

The project happened over three months, but Karl estimates it was a couple of weeks solid work.

He says they were given the material and told to go ahead and do what they could.

“I’d never built a hearse before,” he says.

Karl got his ideas for the hearse from a horse drawn one that is available in Nelson Tasman.

The new housing package we announced last week will increase housing supply, relieve pressure on the market, and tilt the balance towards first home buyers.

In Nelson, we’re lifting house price caps for First Home Loans and Grants: from $500,000 to $525,000 for existing properties; and from $550,000 to $600,000 for new builds. Local developers have told me that they can build in this price bracket.

Increasing housing supply is also important, and our new $3.8 billion Housing Acceleration Fund will speed up the pace and scale of house building. This fund will jump-start large-scale developments by partnering with local government, the private sector, iwi and Māori, and the not-for-profit sector, to fund the infrastructure like roads and pipes needed for new housing.

We’re also tilting the balance towards first home buyers by extending the bright-line test from 5 to 10 years. The bright-line test, introduced by the last National Government, is designed to make speculative investment less attractive. The bright-line test does not and will not apply to the family home.

We’re also helping to boost supply by incentivising investment in new developments, rather than existing houses. People who choose to invest in a newly built property will be exempt from the latest changes to the bright-line test and interest deductibility. This will encourage more people to invest in new builds, thereby stimulating the supply of housing.

Nelson and Tasman are among the least affordable regions for home buyers in the country. When I entered Parliament, I made it clear that this is something I want to change. A warm, stable, affordable home is one of the basic building blocks needed for families and communities to thrive. It will take time and energy to turn around the housing crisis, but I am committed to tackling this challenge as the MP for Nelson.

School sexual health clinics run out of suitcases Erin Bradnock For more than 17 years, Nelsons INP Medical Clinic has been running sexual health clinics at local high schools and this year, Nelson College and Nelson College for Girls have adopted the service.

INP director Lucy Halsey says the two schools have only recently joined as it was once thought students would be able to walk to the Nile Street clinic.

“It’s a model that we know works and we felt like some people were missing out on our service,” says Lucy.

INP is a sexual health clinic but Lucy wants Nelsonians to know they’re offering students and patients more than contraceptives and STI checks.

“The most common things I manage are period issues, gender identity, pregnancies, and

contraceptives. We’re not just doing STI checks and putting people on the pill,” she says.

INP Nelson also holds a contract for the Top of the South for sexual assault or sexual violence care.

Nelson College headmaster Richard Dykes says when INP

approached the school about extending their clinic services he was quickly on board.

“I said ‘let’s do it’. It’s the smart thing to do for our students,” he says.

Nelson College for Girls principal Cathy Ewing echoed the enthusiasm.

“Nelson College for Girls has always had a strong relationship with INP. The offer from INP to come to our school and offer their service on site was one we were very happy to take up,” she says.

Rebecca Beer is one of the school clinic nurses at INP, operating on campuses out of a suitcase armed with blood pressure monitors, contraceptives, and STI tests.

Rebecca says the clinics are about creating accessibility to healthcare.

“It’s rewarding to work with youth and engage in positive and meaningful conversations about sexual health,” says Rebecca.

For more information about INP and the school clinics you can visit INP’s website at www.inp.co.nz

Playcentre fundraising to replace playground Erin Bradnock Atawhai Playcentre has recently received $18,000 from community grants towards a new outdoor play area, but still has $27,000 still left to fundraise.

Playcentre parent and project manager Kristina Wells says the 30-year-old playground has served them well but the structure is no longer meeting regulations.

“At the moment it’s a lovely huge space, but it’s just outdated. We want to do some native planting and have some different textures for our kids.”

She says the large wooden structure is beginning to noticeably deteriorate and the cost of landscaping and new play equipment is budgeted at $50,000.

The playcentre has been at their Atawhai Crescent site since 1964 and the playground is assumed to be at least 30-yearsold.

With 58 students enrolled, from new-borns to six-year-olds, the intention is for a safer space for children to play on.

“It’s a well-loved playground but it’s time for a change. Some of the parents remember the playground when they used to come here as children,” Kristina says.

She says it’s been a long process to raise funds for the parentrun cooperative, having started the grant application process at the start of last year.

A recent $10,000 grant has come from NZCT, $5000 of which is dedicated to landscaping the backyard area and the other $5000 for new play equipment.

Another $4000 was granted by the Lion Foundation as well as a further $4000 from Pub Charity Ltd. The playcentre has raised $5810 out of their personal $10,000 fundraising goal and has another $10,000 saved and reserved for the project.

Katrina says the playcentre has their fingers crossed regarding other grant applications they’re still waiting to hear back on the $27,000, which is still left to raise.

Katrina hopes their annual gala will tie up the centre’s own $10,000 fundraising goal.

“We’re going to have games, a bouncy castle, baking, a vegetable stall, second-hand clothes, and more,” she says.

The gala will be held at the playcentre on April 11 from 10am to 1pm.

Natureland goes central with new shop Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Natureland is making its presence felt in the city centre with its very own secondhand shop.

The shop will open in early April at 245 Hardy St and will have a “point of difference” according to Natureland manager, Ruth Seabright.

“Yes, it’s a secondhand shop, but our bigger vision is that it’s going to have a bit of a sustainability theme.”

Longtime Natureland volunteer Mike Abeltshauser, who Ruth calls “magic Mike”, is building most of the shop fixtures and fittings out of recycled pallets.

“We’re big on upcycling and repurposing, so we’ll be focusing on that within the store. We’ve got a few ideas for once we’re up and running.”

Ruth, who took up the manager’s position in November, comes from a not-for-profit management background and says the idea for a shop came about as a way to generate more funds for the organisation.

“I’m passionate about social enterprise, so for me, coming in and having a look, I could see

Natureland shop manager Tracey Sickler and Natureland manager Ruth Seabright at their new shop on Hardy St. Photo: Kate Russell. that we needed another revenue stream. We need to be financially sustainable and less dependent on grants.”

Ruth says the central city location, which also has an entrance at 11 Buxton Sq, will also help them to engage with more of the community.

“This will broaden our reach and help us tell our story. We know that we’ve got a lot of community support out there, but this is

another way people can support us. They can shop here, they can donate or they can volunteer here.

“This is a way we can connect with people about the work we’re engaged in and generate income to support Natureland and support the animals we care for and deliver more outcomes.”

Donations for the shop have been trickling in, but Ruth says they would love to get more.

“We do have quite a lot but it’s a standing start. We need more donations to fill the shop and to generate enough backstock.”

Any quality, saleable items are appreciated including furniture, clothing, and bric-a-brac.

They would also appreciate any shop fixtures and fittings that people might have lying around, and they are also on the hunt for some volunteers to help run the shop.

Ruth says despite a large number of secondhand shops in Nelson, they are hoping to attract a niche market.

“It’s a growing market and we’re keen to put our twist on it.”

Donations can be dropped off at 245 Hardy St, Monday - Friday between 9:30am 4pm or Saturday 10am - 2pm.

Bigger items can be collected by Natureland, please call (03) 548 6166.

Playground equipment for kids with disabilities: Shame on Nelson City Council for not automatically providing this equipment in several playgrounds in and around Nelson. Families and community groups should not have to fundraise for this. Even small places like Te Anau and Hokitika already provide such equipment.

On the contrary, the existing cycle stands that were or are outside the council and cinema front doors on Trafalgar St are well used day and night - also debunking the theory forwarded by the CEO that largetyred bicycles cannot use them.

Housing: Nelson’s MP Rachel Boyack is completely out of touch with young people and the reality of Nelson’s housing market with Labour’s changes to the First Home Scheme. First Home buyers can only access the support if the house they are buying is under $525,000 for an existing home and $600,000 for a new home.

The average existing house price in Nelson is now $730,000 and new houses are a lot more than this. The grants are useless as the houses under this price do not exist. The cap of $500,000 was set by National when the average house price was $400,000.

Average prices have gone up by over $325,000 since then and Labour increases the cap by $25,000. It is a sick joke. Rachael Boyack previously promised 1000 Kiwibuild houses for our region and we have got none. She is failing Nelson first home buyers again by offering grants for houses below a price that does not exist.

Mayor cancels Covid ‘misinformation’ video Anna Leask Nelson Mayor Rachel Reese has stepped in and ordered the cancellation of a community event where a controversial Covid-19 antivaccination video was to be screened.

Belgian virologist Dr Geert Vanden Bossche has come under fire in the last week after he published a "manifesto" criticising the global response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

He also wrote an open letter to the World Health Organisation outlining his stance around the "public health emergency of global concern".

Vanden Bossche called for the "immediate cancellation of all ongoing Covid-19 mass vaccination campaigns".

A screening of a video of Vanden Bossche was set to screen at a meeting scheduled at a community centre in Stoke, this week.

It is not clear who was organising the event, to be held at the Greenmeadows Community Centre, owned by the Nelson City Council.

Mayor Rachel Reese took action, directing the booking to be cancelled.

"The booking was accepted by the centre staff without knowing the topic of the meeting, and once council staff were made aware of the nature of the talk they raised health and safety concerns with the mayor," a council spokesperson said.

Reese said she could not provide support for an event booking that "undermines critical public health outcomes".

"Vaccination will provide the greatest health benefit that the community can participate in and I support a relentlessly positive approach to combating Covid-19," she said.

"So much effort has gone into our successful response so far, the last thing we want to do now is to allow false information to undermine our

strong position."

Nelson Marlborough Health's chief medical officer Dr Nick Baker said he did not support the provision of information that was "not based on evidence and that might mislead our community".

"New Zealand is about to roll out a substantial, and well-organised vaccine programme," he said.

"Millions of people have safely received their vaccine already and the science shows that it is safe and effective.

Baker said there was further "vaccine misinformation" circulating around the Nelson area.

He urged people to look to the authorities and credible experts for the right information.

"There is more information, both reliable and unreliable, available than ever before," he said.

"It's important that people are selective about the information they use to make decisions, it can be easy to be taken in by scams and hoaxes.

"We all need to seek out good and evidence-based information to influence our key decisions like who we give money to and vaccination."

Baker said vaccination is one of the most successful actions in public health "since the separation of sewerage from drinking water".

"It has saved countless lives and endless misery for millions and will continue to do so," he said.

"Although the Covid-19 vaccines we have access to have been developed quickly - no shortcuts were taken with regard to safety and effectiveness.

"There is a lot of very good evidencebased information available, and to varying degrees of detail."

He urged people to visit the Unite Against Covid-19 or Medsafe NZ websites for accurate information on New Zealand's vaccine situation.

Fibre frustrations leaves household without connection Erin Bradnock When Doug and Marilyn Milne moved into their Bridgewater Lane home last November, they were told fibre internet would be installed the following month.

But three months on, the couple are still waiting.

On top of the internet delays, Stoke property owner Doug says there’s confusion surrounding copper broadband connections on the property.

Chorus had told Doug originally that there was no copper connection at their property, yet the developer had paid to have copper installed.

Emma Mccashin, who subdivided the land, says she had copper installed by Nelmac on behalf of Chorus. She says Nelmac had returned later to the property to take photos and to reconfirm to Chorus that copper was, in fact, on the property.

“They’ve been told time and time again that they can’t get copper.

These poor people are in their 60s and having to run around and chase down answers,” says Emma.

Doug was told by Spark on

Doug Milne at his Bridgewater Lane home that is still without internet. Photo: Erin Bradnock.

March 17 that there was copper on their neighbour's property but not their own. But Emma says she paid Chorus for copper at both properties.

“Nelson City Council would not sign off the subdivision without both properties having access to the internet. Nelmac have physically double checked both

Chorus boxes and everything is there,” she says.

Last Wednesday, Chorus got in touch with Emma saying they now understand that there is the capacity for copper on the property.

Doug says neighbours have dealt with costs of up to $300 to have copper broadband installed in

their homes.

“Why would we go to put copper in when we’re being told fibre is coming?” says Doug.

The last Doug heard from Chorus was that fibre was possibly two months away from being installed on their street.

Doug says it’s been frustrating trying to get a straight answer

from Chorus regarding Fibre and copper connections for his property.

“It’s been different stories with different people,” he says.

Doug says he has heard from other neighbours that dealing with Chorus on copper and fibre issues has been a “real hassle”.

A Chorus spokesperson told the Nelson Weekly that the proposed installation date for fibre at Brightwater Lane is now scheduled for May 31 and that tenants should get in touch with their internet providers on June 1 to access fibre.

When asked about the reasoning behind the fibre delays Chorus could only disclose that there had been a “design issue” but could not offer further information.

In the meantime, Doug has been using his wife’s cellphones hotspot for internet connection which has proven costly over the last four months. In the last fortnight, he has spent $119 on a Huawei ‘wingle’, a USB WiFi hotspot that connects to his computer.

“It can be pretty slow but at least we’ve got something,” he says.

Celebrating 21 years of high-quality vet care For over twenty years, the Halifax Veterinary Centre has been offering world class veterinary services to Nelson pet owners.

The dedicated team of veterinarians and vet nurses look after pets with the utmost respect and compassion, as if they were their own.

“We are proud to be the first veterinary practice in New Zealand to have achieved BESTPRACTICE™ Hospital Standards accreditation from the New Zealand Veterinary Association,” says Executive Director/Veterinarian, Hans Andersen. Accredited in March 2000 the Nelson vet practice is one of just three

clinics in the country achieving this high standard. “It is a voluntary quality assurance system, designed by the NZVA to raise standards. There are about 60 practices at the entry-level Clinic Standards.”

Back in the mid-1990s the practice was based in Halifax St. “We were doing a lot of good work there, but we were very constrained,” says Hans. “We had outgrown the premises, and we wondered ‘how good could we get?’”

So, they aimed for BESTPRACTICE™ Hospital Standards and built their existing premises on Bridge St. “We shifted here in

1997 and it took three years to develop the systems and protocols to support the high standards we were aiming for.”

Hans says just being a good vet is not enough - you need a welltrained team working with good systems in a well-equipped facility to consistently deliver better results. “Clients can have a sense of assurance that their pets are being treated really well. Regular independent audits keep us sharp.” The highly motivated team at the Halifax Veterinary Centre embrace a culture of ‘always trying to get better’ and keep exploring ways to improve their services.

Pets need preventative healthcare “Our goal is for pets to be happy and healthy for as long as possible,” says Hans. “It begins early - starting our kittens and puppies with really good nutrition and growing them at an appropriate rate, encouraging good behaviours, promptly dealing with issues like parasite control, dental health and weight control, and in their senior years, picking up problems early such as joint issues and cancer.

There’s a whole bunch of things that we’re doing to make our pets’ lives a lot better throughout life.”

Hans says people need to be proactive about wellness, because pets are mute and don’t tell us a great deal.

“Most people only take action once there is an obvious problem. During routine checks, we try to alert the owners to problems that can come and ensure that they are dealt with promptly.”

So, if you’re a pet owner, do book regular check-ups.”

SOAR to showcase local dancing talent Jacqui Rawson

A 45-minute extravaganza of local dance talent will be on display next month as part of a new dance production.

SOAR brings together 40 advanced level dancers from six studios across the Nelson Tasman region who will be unveiling their talent along with two professional dancers from Auckland.

“You don’t have to be a dancer to be captivated and appreciate the performance,” says show producer Gemma Laing.

As well as being a chance for the community to experience local talent it’s an opportunity for the mostly teenage dancers to feel what it’s like to be in a semi-professional show.

“It’s a great way to bridge the gap for dancers who want to pursue a career in dance and a pathway to starting a conversation,” Gemma says.

Gemma has engaged two professional dancers, Kayla Paige and Andrew Cesan,

The pair, who are renowned on the New Zealand dance scene, are working with the students on some of the showpieces and will perform a piece as part of the show.

Gemma says SOAR will allow dancers to learn off other dancers as an added complement to their current

teachers.

“Another motivation of the show is to create an artistic piece of work to inspire other younger dancers in the community to get involved,” she says.

To support the local dancers further, profits from the show will go back to them towards furthering their dance training. Individual dancers

were also encouraged to apply for funding assistance.

The show will showcase a broad range of dances - from tap to hip hop and is geared to the wider community, not just elite dancers.

“Getting up and performing in front of your peers or tackling the roles of event management or production is no small thing, even for an adult. It’s great to see our young talent showing off their skills, and I encourage everyone to show their support by going along.”

Nelson crowned queens of the green Jonty Dine Nelson women once again reigned supreme at the the 2021 National Intercentre Championships.

Nelson won a fifth women’s crown at the Wilton Bowling Club in Wellington on Sunday.

Commonwealth Games champion Jo Edwards sealed Nelson’s victory over Dunedin in the final, beating Beth Brown 25-14 in the singles.

Edwards was also a key member of the Nelson sides that won the Intercentre titles in 1997, 2004, 2012 and 2014.

“I’ve played pretty much all of my bowls in Nelson and it’s a great group of friends off the green as well.”

Jo says after some chopping and

changing, they eventually got those selections right.

“No one person or one discipline can win it for you, but it’s been a hell of a team performance over the three days.”

Jo’s best mate Val Smith earlier helped Nelson put one hand on the intercentre trophy, when she and Colleen Earl raced to a 21-5 win over Sarah Scott and Bronwyn Stevens in the pairs.

The Dunedin women had won all eight of their pairs games on the road to the final.

“Val’s been playing so good. She’s won two games with her last bowl, including the semi-final, winning it for us to get through to the final,” says Jo.

deliveries, conceding just one run and taking a wicket to get his side home.

“It was a satisfying way to end the season, it has been a pretty good T20 campaign from the boys and nice for me to take over the captaincy and lead us to the title.”

The hosts had a horror start as its top order collapsed.

Languishing at 38/5, Darius Skeaping and Brendan Hodgson steadied the ship with 20 and 14, respectively.

Their wickets would make way for Neal and Homan to ice the innings with some late power hitting.

Homan hit 34 off 25 while Neal's 30 included five boundaries at a staggering strike rate of 250.

“Things didn’t really go to plan with the bat, but we were able

to put a score on the board and gain some momentum,” Dylan says.

ACOB also suffered a tough start in reply, Ryan Edwards making early inroads as the visitors were reduced to 34/7.

The win looked a formality for Stoke before Greg Chitty turned the tide.

His unbeaten half century swung the momentum firmly in favour of the TPL champions, who needed just nine off the last six balls.

However, Egington would put on a masterclass in his final over, clean bowling Liam Baird with his first delivery before four more dots and a single.

“There was a little bit of pressure going into the last over, but I was able to get the job done and get the boys over

the line.”

Stoke's victory makes it three out of four titles for 2020/21, following wins in the Nelson 50 over and 110-over competitions.

Dylan says it was a great game of cricket and fitting for a final.

“We had them in trouble, before we knew it though they were able to have a couple of big overs and bring themselves right back into the game.”

The match marked the conclusion of the 2020/21 cricket season with the prizegiving taking place on Sunday.

Stoke/Nayland unsurprisingly took home more silverware, claiming team of the year while Josh Newport won representative player of the year.

Zealand U19 camp where his commitment in the gym impressed his teammates.

The lightest player at camp, James stunned future All Blacks Israel Dagg, Ryan Crotty, Aaron Smith and Sam Whitelock with a staggering 140kg bench press.

Following four seasons with the Mako, James decided to move north to progress his career further.

“I left to give myself a crack at Super, I was offered a wider squad contract and joined Taranaki.”

His time with the Bulls was successful and included a fierce final with some familiar faces.

“That final in 2014 against the Mako was the most intense game I’ve ever played. There was so much banter and niggle, it was full-on, the boys were right into me and I was giving it back to be fair.”

gym membership and the grind began.

“I always wanted to be a professional, but I wasn’t that good. I missed out on the college U16 and U15 A teams.

I thought realistically I won’t make it if I’m not even the top 26 players in my school.”

So, James set himself the goal of making the 1st XV by 7th form or he would give up the game.

“I found the more I sacrificed and harder I worked, the more started to happen.”

James would achieve his goal a year earlier than expected and soon found himself playing in a UC Championship final at Jade Stadium.

Nelson was well beaten by a Christchurch side featuring future stars in Tim Bateman, Matt Todd, Owen Franks and Nasi Manu, but the experience cemented James’ ambitions.

He was then invited to a New

James Marshall knew he was never going to be the biggest, fastest or strongest player.

However, that didn’t stop him from chasing his dream of playing professionally.

“I was always small, skinny, and weak and I knew that was going to be a big reason coaches wouldn’t pick me.”

James didn’t even take an immediate liking to rugby.

He still recalls his first venture to a footy field as a five-yearold.

“I hated it; it was too rough for me.”

He says it was something he grew to love through his passion for watching.

“I was a full-on code head.”

James says he wanted to take the ‘you’re not strong enough,’ factor out of the equation.

The ‘Canes enjoyed an historic run of success which culminated in consecutive Super Rugby finals in 2015 and ‘16.

“I was playing in a team full of superstars, everyone in the team was an international barring myself and Reggie Goodes.”

So good was James’ form, he would force one of either Nehe Milner-Skudder, Corey Jane or Julian Savea onto the bench.

“To think I was starting ahead of All Blacks, I used to have to pinch myself.”

The next stop on James’ journey was with London Irish.

“My wife is from England, so a big part was for her to reconnect with her family.”

Just two years into a three-year contract, London Irish was relegated, and James was once again on the move, joining the Coca-Cola Red Sparks in Japan.

“We loved Japan, there was a lot of downtime for the family and so we grew really tight.”

However, the game began to take a toll on James’ body.

“The last three years were really tough on my hip, even putting my left boot on was a real struggle. I started to not enjoy the game as much.”

James officially hung his boots up in 2020 following surgery.

WEDNESDAY 31 March 2021

Zoe reveals health battles led to rowing retirement Cheree Kinnear of NZME Lightweight women's double world champion Zoe McBride has opened up on the shock realities that drove her to announce her retirement from rowing, just months ahead of the Tokyo Olympics.

The 25-year-old Nelsonian was set to compete at the upcoming Olympics

as one of New Zealand's favourites for a gold medal after claiming the world title along with double sculls teammate Jackie Kiddle in 2019.

However, Zoe has revealed she began contemplating her career after suffering a stress fracture to her leg last year.

Months of rehab took a toll on her mental health before the challenges

of getting back down below 59 kilograms to meet the minimum lightweight criteria saw her develop an eating disorder and an erratic menstrual cycle.

"That was a massive wake-up call," she said.

"I've been very injured being a lightweight. I've had to manipulate my body in ways that looking back on it now, I'm not ok with in order to get to weight."

Zoe says health has been a massive priority since.

“In order for me to be in a position to get back down to weight to race is too much of an ask on my mental health and also my physical health. I don't want to put myself in a position where I'm not ok but still in the boat."

Although having trained extensively over the past few

years for the Tokyo Games, Zoe says she was confident she would never regret her decision.

"I don't expect a lot of people to understand or for people to see it from my point of view but I know over the years, obviously the work that I've put in, it's been a massive goal of mine to go to the Olympics but to do it at the sacrifice of myself is not worth it.

"The past year and a half has made me realise that although I've done some amazing things, at the end of the day I'm the one who has to live with myself and in my body and this decision is for me."

Zoe won three world titles in her career with back-to-back successes in the light-weight single sculls in 2015 and 2016.

She then claimed a silver in the double sculls with Kiddle

before the duo won the world title in Ottensheim, Austria in 2019.

She said the conversation with Kiddle was an emotional one.

"It's obviously a very hard conversation to have, but at the end of the day, we're a team and we support each other, we always have and we both want what's best for each other.

"You want to race and be with a partner who is in a really good position to be able to do it and if they have to sacrifice something in order to be there, it's not worth it."

Kiddle is set to continue training at Lake Karapiro as part of Rowing NZ's HighPerformance Programme.

Meanwhile, Zoe will remain based in Cambridge to pursue her career in marketing with a focus on women's health.
