Tāhunanui rejects clearways Erin Bradnock and Kate Russell Tāhunanui community members and business owners claim Waka Kotahi’s plans to reinstall clearways through the town is “dangerous” and “not acceptable”. Waka Kotahi, formerly known as NZTA, recommended earlier this month that priority lanes be installed along Waimea Rd and Tāhunanui Dr to alleviate the city's long-term transport woes. Clearways had briefly been installed along Tahunanui Dr in 2013 but were removed after community protest. Tāhunanui Business Association chair Paul Matheson describes the plan to install priority lanes as “dangerous”. “We’ve held a couple of public
meetings with over 80 people each time. Most, if not all, are strongly opposed to the clearways. It’s not acceptable,” he says. Paul believes the extra lanes and loss of car parking will negatively impact roadside businesses.
After a protest in 2013, the community won the battle to have the clearway outside four businesses removed. The New Zealand Transport Agency and Nelson City Council agreed to a moratorium of four years on the use of the southbound clearway. NZTA’s announcement to install clearways is the result of a longawaited Nelson Future Access report that looked at three options

Nick Smith resigns Staff Reporter Longstanding National MP Nick Smith has announced his retirement after 30 years in Parliament. Nick will officially retire next week, on June 10. Parliamentary Services have been conducting a confidential inquiry into a verbal altercation in his Wellington office last July that has not concluded, he confirmed in a statement on Monday. “I have decided to retire for personal and professional reasons, including a current Parliamentary Services inquiry into an employment issue.” Nick says he was advised on Friday that the inquiry and its details have been leaked to media for release this week. “It is inappropriate for employment disputes to be litigated in public. I will put on the record that I regret the incident, I apologised at the time and I apologise again today. I have decided the best course of action for the parties involved, the National Party, my family and myself is to retire now. This is an opportunity for National to renew. The leader, party, and caucus will continue to have my full support.” Nick says he was disappointed to lose the Nelson seat at the 2020 election after 30 years representing the region.

that included priority lanes or clearways, widening Rocks Rd, or adding an 'inland route' to the city's transport network, otherwise known as the Southern Link. Waka Kotahi says, after community consultation, the addition of priority lanes scored best overall against assessment criteria and that they had received "considerable" community support for the priority lanes. Tāhunanui Community Hub coordinator, Mark French, is also against the proposal and says the community is divided by the road layout as it is. “How could clearways become safe when they were taken away for being unsafe? Tāhunanui is a destination and with less parking it’s going to make things more difficult.”
Mark describes NZTA’s community consultation as poor. Ray Weston, owner of The Hot Rock Gourmet Pizza Pasta Bar on Tāhunanui Dr agrees that Nelson City Council and NZTA have not consulted aptly with the community. “I’ve heard nothing, and I find that absolutely remarkable,” he says. “The community consists of small businesses trying to survive. If you think Tāhunanui is an icon, we’re destroying it.” NZTA disputes claims they haven’t suitably engaged with the community. “We’ve letter-box dropped and door knocked those businesses in Tāhunanui who would be most affected by the proposed reinstatement of the southbound lane at the intersection of Rocks Rd and Bisley Avenue,” says a NZTA spokesperson.
“We have also talked to many people from Tāhunanui who have either attended one of our drop-in events or made contact with us via our project email address, so we are confident the community is very engaged.” While NZTA say they are receiving a lot of feedback from the Tāhunanui community, no further drop-ins are proposed. In a joint statement obtained by the Nelson Weekly, Davina Janssen, Priti Brixton, Davence Yu and Lindy Heaphy at the Tāhunanui Pharmacy, and Dr Stephen Neas at the Tāhunanui Medical Centre, expressed their concerns for their patients' safety. 'How would ambulance and other emergency services be able to access these premises safely?’ it read. “Tāhunanui Medical Centre has close to 8000 patients

on its books, with five GPs seeing approximately 150 patients per day. Tāhunanui Pharmacy is also experiencing unprecedented growth and removing parking from outside these crucial services in the Tāhunanui community threatens the safety of patients and creates a barrier to access healthcare.” Tāhunanui School principal Barbara Bowen has raised her safety concerns to NZTA. “We need something that caters for our children crossing the road, so we’re not all that happy about making Tāhunanui Dr busier.” Barbara says if the clearway proposal does go ahead, they would likely be widening roads out onto the school grounds. “If we have the full clearway, it will take out some of Tāhunanui School’s grounds.”

Nick Smith resigns FROM PAGE 1 “It was working for constituents and advocating for the region that I enjoyed most and I have come to realise that the role as a List MP is just not me. I had decided to retire earlier this year and the only question was when.” Nick says politics does place a significant burden on family and he is incredibly grateful for the support of his wife, children, and wider family.
“There have been recent changes in family circumstances which require me to give greater support.” Nick says it has been a huge privilege to be a National Member of Parliament and to represent the Nelson region for 30 years. He represented the Nelson electorate from 1996 to 2020, and was the Member for Tasman before that, from 1990 to 1996. He is a former Cabinet minister, previously holding the posts
of Minister for Building and Housing, Minister for the Environment, Minister for Climate Change Issues, and Minister of Local Government. For a brief time between October and November 2003 he was the deputy leader of the National Party, then in opposition under Don Brash. Nick says he is now looking forward to re-joining the Smith family crane and construction businesses in New Zealand, Australia, and the Pacific.

For the love of books Kate Russell Reporter

Nelson’s favourite book fair is raring to go, thanks to a team of 100 dedicated volunteers. The books have been sorted and the tables are ready as the Founders Book Fair gets ready to satisfy book worms this Queen's Birthday weekend. “We are lucky, we have brilliant volunteers,” says coordinator Karen Clark. “We’ve ended up with around ten new volunteers this year who have never volunteered before, and they were like ducks to water. “It’s been nice having some new people come and they’ve done a really good job. One came twice last week and brought baking for us.” This is book fair number 11 for Karen, who took charge of the event in 2011. “But I’m still a junior woodchuck compared to some of these volunteers.” She says the longest-serving volunteer has been helping for more than 25 years. Thanks to the healthy boost in volunteers this year, Karen says they are almost a week ahead of schedule. “We almost could’ve opened a week early and we’ve been joking that it’s going so smoothly maybe we should have a fair
BOOK LOVERS: From left are book fair volunteers Susan Johnson, Peter Rigg, John Watt, Murray Farrant, Karen Clark, Roma Marsh, Lyn Hamilton, Pat Lewis, and Anne Cameron, with one of the 60 original book tables that will be up for grabs at the event.

Last years’ fair was delayed until October 2020 after the Covid-19 shutdown. “We don’t have as many specialty books this time around, but we’ve still done pretty well on military history and biography. We’re a bit short on craft, gardening, and children’s books, but basically, it's not a lot different. The donations have been brilliant.” This year they have seen record numbers of fiction books. “We have a lot more than we’ve ever had before - an all-time high.” The vinyl records will be back in The Granary this year and there will be a display of bird books.
Puzzles, board games, magazines, DVDs, CDs, and cassette tapes will also be on offer over the nine-day event. The original wooden trestle tables from the book fair will also be for sale. “There are about 60 of them. They are over 20 years old and will be $25 each.” The Friends of Founders Trust recently replaced all the tables with new, lighter ones that are easier to store and manoeuvre. The fair began in 1988 and is a major fundraiser for Founders Heritage Park. The book fair takes place at Founders Heritage Park from 10am – 4:30pm, June 5 -13. Fairgoers are asked to bring reusable bags for their purchases. Entry to the fair is $2, or a nineday pass costs $5. Entry is free for under 12s.
Dedicated e-bike business moves to larger premises There’s a hive of activity on the corner of Hardy and Collingwood Streets which is creating a real buzz – The Rev Bike Company is relocating to the premises and will be up and running by Queen’s Birthday weekend. “We have been at the existing store on Bridge Street for two years,” says director, Ross Keeley. “It’s been wonderful; it created an awareness within the community that we are a dedicated electric bike retailer outlet and service centre.” Ross says they started as a licensee for Electrify and in March 2021 became an independent bike dealer (trading as The Rev Bike Company) which then enabled the stocking of a multitude of additional brands and models. “The larger retail space on Hardy Street will give the business around three times the space we had at Bridge Street.” The new store’s proximity will also provide greater visibility from the streets and there is plenty of parking nearby. Ross says his involvement in the electric bike industry came about as a ‘serendipitous discovery’ while he was on a business trip in China in
2017, and now we have our retail outlet in the city as well as our test ride centre, warehouse and workshop in Richmond. “We are eagerly awaiting the construction of a new facility which will enable us to have a second retail outlet in Richmond.” Located next to the Great Taste Trail, people can come out there for a ‘test drive’ at their leisure and avoid the issues associated with test riding on busy city streets and car parks. The Rev Bike Company is the only dedicated E-bike store in the Top of the South. “We offer over 50 different models and sizes of bikes,” says Ross. The new store will be up and running by Queen’s Birthday weekend, where as well as an extended range of E-bikes we will also discount the remaining end of season models and demo bikes by up to $1000 off the recommended retail price. “ See you down at The Rev Bike Company on Queen’s Birthday weekend, corner of Collingwood and Hardy Streets.

Bridge and Hardy St revamps on the cards Erin Bradnock
The future of Nelson’s city centre looks like less parking and more social spaces, according to the early stages of a newly-revealed plan. Nelson City Council’s Te Ara ō Whakatū - the Nelson City Centre Spatial Plan - aims to be people and social-focused to attract investment, families, talent, and residents, while accommodating a predicted growth from 100 residents in the city centre to 2000 over the next three decades. Last week, city centre development programme lead Alan Gray presented to councillors a series of potential changes to the city centre over the next 30 years, including plans to revitalise Hardy and Bridge St areas. After engaging with more than 50 community groups, Alan spoke to the successes of zoning off the top of Trafalgar St as an example of one of 10 ‘great places’ they’d like to see throughout the city. “People first has been the common theme of many conversations I have had,” says Alan. “There is a lot of support for the city being more focussed on the people who live, work and play within it.” One proposal for a new ‘great place’

Options for the Bridge St space include decreasing parking from 35 per cent of the road and pedestrian zones to as low as 10 per cent, with wider pedestrian space, greenery, and social spaces. Alan also identified Hardy St as an “important thread in the urban fabric

in the city”. He spoke of a proposed reimagining of Hardy St as a “social spine” of the city with extended spaces to eat, drink and socialise. Other identified ‘great places’ with the potential to evolve include the new library precinct, Kirby Lane, New St Laneway, and Morrison Square. Public consultation on Te Ara ō Whakatū is opening for one month from July 9.

Cloak welcomed to Greenmeadows, Wednesday, May 12: Te Korowai Aroha, previously known as the Welcome Cloak, was officially welcomed to Greenmeadows on May 8 as a smaller artwork - however, there have been questions from the public about what happened to the rest of it. Nelson City Council’s group manager community services Andrew White says the cloak is smaller due to some of it being “unrepairable”. “Council sought a new home for the artwork because it sustained significant damage while it hung over Saltwater Creek. Some of this damage, including badly scratched or bentout-of-shape individual feathers, was irreparable.” The artwork was remodelled by its creator Adi Tait to fit the new space. The unused feathers that were too damaged to display will remain with the artist.

Prime Minister opens new research centre Staff Reporter Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was in town last week to open Cawthron Institute’s new National Algae Research Centre. The ground-breaking centre will enable the expansion of its algae research and support the establishment of a new industry in New Zealand. This opening comes just two years after $6million of funding was provided by the government’s Provincial Growth Fund. Nelson MP Rachel Boyack says this world-class facility, which will enable Cawthron researchers here in Nelson to meet a global need for algae-based products, is a fantastic example of the kind of innovation that goes on in this city. “As a trustee of Cawthron and the MP for Nelson, I’m incredibly pleased to see the outcome of the Government’s investment towards the centre.” Cawthron Institute Chief Executive Volker Kuntzsch says, from the extraction of bioactive compounds from microalgae for high-value pharmaceutical products through to ‘methane busting’ seaweed, there are enormous possibilities for a

Based at Cawthron’s Aquaculture Park near Nelson, the first stage of the centre at this site will predominantly focus on seaweed, which is poised to become the third pillar of the New Zealand aquaculture sector alongside shellfish and
finfish. “We know that globally seaweed represents almost a third of aquaculture production volume, with a value of US$14 billion. However, the New Zealand seaweed sector is still in its infancy, so we have this fantastic opportunity to use the National Algae Research Centre as a hub of seaweed innovation for New Zealand,” said Kuntzsch. Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Ardern spoke to locals at the Theatre Royal where she fielded questions about the 2021 budget and the country's economic recovery in the wake of Covid-19.

Women's Refuge seeks donations and a new home Erin Bradnock Food, warm clothes, blankets and a new home are on Nelson Women's and Children's Refuge’s winter wish list. The organisation is currently working out of a property at Florence St in Richmond, but manager Diane Strong says they quickly outgrew the space and are looking to move closer to the city centre before their tenancy ends on July 3. “We want to be better connected to crucial services for us like the police and ACC. We want to reduce all the transportation time we have while we’re here and reduce the time that a woman has to deal with agencies to get them safe and where they need to be,” says Diane. Women’s Refuge is New Zealand’s largest nation-wide organisation that supports and helps women and children experiencing family violence. Diane says it can take upwards of a week to get through the agencies for someone seeking refuge. She hopes moving closer to the city would minimise that time. “At the moment there's a lot of ‘toing and froing’ and it takes a huge amount of time

On top of donations and administrative space, the refuge requires donations year-round and coming into winter. Food is the most crucial need for their whānau. “We need
things that are easy to make. A lot of our women aren’t in the mindset to spend hours cooking for their whānau,” says Diane. Soups, pasta, canned tomatoes, baby formula, baked beans and spaghetti are the sorts of non-perishables sought by the refuge, as well as cleaning products for their safe homes. Diane says they too often receive donations that can’t be accepted, like rotten car
seats and clothing they have to pay to transfer and dispose of themselves. Other items on the winter wish list include baby seats, warm clothes, and petrol and phone vouchers. The refuge is also hoping to hear from potential new volunteers to man their 24/7 crisis support line. “These are the basic essentials they need and that we know will make someone’s life easier,” says Diane.

New Victory principal ‘right at home’ Kate Russell Reporter
kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz
When Dan George saw that Victory Primary School was looking for a new principal, he jumped at the opportunity. “I had my job notifications turned on for roles within the Nelson region and the job at Victory came up. I read the description and instantly thought ‘that sounds like me’.” Dan has come from Parnell District School in Auckland, where he was a deputy principal. However, the born and bred Cantabrian says it was always his plan to come back to the South Island, with his wife Rachel growing up in Nelson. The father to four-month-old Archie is now three weeks into the principalship and says he already feels “right at home”. Dan, 35, replaces Helen TaylorYoung, who resigned at the end of last year, after six years in the role, to recover from a continuing health issue. The school was put under statutory management last year, with Glenda Rapley serving as the acting principal. Dan was officially welcomed to the school with a pōwhiri on May
Dan George is Victory Primary School’s new principal. Photo: Kate Russell. 17. “I could not be happier to be here,” he says. “I was very humbled with the pōwhiri, it was an amazing community turnout.” He says one of the things that drew him to Victory is its diversity. “It’s a real strength. There are not too many schools in the Nelson area that could say they have a 40 per cent refugee population
and even a 27 per cent Māori population, which is awesome.” Dan, who attended Kaiapoi High School, says he was drawn to teaching after coaching a fiveyear-old rugby team in his last year of school. “I was a graphic designer for a year, then I went to university to gain my teaching qualification.” His first gig was at Banks Avenue
School in Shirley before teaching at Kaiapoi Borough School for four years. He then ventured overseas to travel and teach in London, Asia, Africa, and South America. “I love travelling and experiencing different cultures - all the things you don’t necessarily see in New Zealand.” He then moved to Auckland
to teach at Ponsonby Primary School before spending the last three years at Parnell District School. Dan says he is “absolutely loving” Nelson. “I’m into my outdoor stuff, I enjoy running and biking and it’s like a paradise here. It’s a great place to bring up a family.” He says there are “many strings to his bow”. “I love music, sports, and the arts - but I’m equally passionate about the core things like literacy and maths.” He has been learning te reo, taught kapa haka for about a decade, and even wrote and produced a film at his last school. Dan says his priorities are establishing relationships with staff, families, and students. He has already been grilled by one class who held a ‘Q and A’ session with him. “I have lots of ideas and I’m a passionate educator, but I want everyone to be on the same waka,” he says. “All of the teachers here put so much passion and energy into their teaching, and that’s the one thing I’ve noticed about the school - it’s got so much heart. In that way, it’s been a very smooth transition for me.”

NEWS One critically injured in Richmond crash: A person was critically injured in a crash on the Richmond Deviation on Monday morning. A police spokesperson says they were notified of the three-vehicle crash at 6:50am. The northbound lane of SH6 was initially closed between Queen St and Whakatu Dr, then the southbound lane was closed while work continued at the scene. St John spokesperson Gerard Campbell said one person was critically injured and another had minor injuries. Both were transported to Nelson Hospital by ambulance. The Serious Crash Unit was notified.
Pepin Island sold to New Zealand company: Pepin Island, a private island near Nelson, has been sold to a New Zealand company after 26 years of international ownership. The 518-hectare property and working sheep farm was sold by real estate agency New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty earlier this month. Details of the sale price, vendor and purchaser remain confidential, however it a was multi-offer sale involving two NZ buyers. Pepin Island is attached to the mainland by a causeway at Cable Bay. Over the past 26 years it has been developed with a substantial investment in housing, fencing, gorse eradication, native tree planting, the establishment of environmental protection areas and an orchard.

First resident to call Coastal View home Jonty Dine Reporter
jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz
After watching the six-year construction process across the sea from her home at Tasman Bay, Jenny Young has become the first official resident of the new Coastal View Lifestyle Village. It has been a difficult couple of years for the 75-year-old who suffered a serious illness which almost claimed her life. Now with her health regained, Jenny is thriving in her new home. “In contrast to my illness which nearly killed me, it’s been like a wonderful sanctuary.” Jenny was the first name down on the waiting list for a home and the first to sign on the dotted line. “I made a decision immediately that this is where I needed to be, I was cashed up and ready
to move.” Born and raised on the Tahuna Hills, Jenny has become accustomed to living with spectacular views. “I have always been on elevation, so it was always preferable to living on the flat.” She says she has been in awe of the services available to residents. “I can honestly say, it’s been nothing but a positive experience. I have never met such gracious, intelligent and caring people.” The village is still very much under construction but will soon feature a restaurant, bar, movie theatre, sports bar and dance floor, gymnasium, spa, indoor swimming pool, hairdressing salon, chapel, various lounges and other recreational facilities. “A lot of people are daunted by the fact it’s still a bit of
a construction site, but it’s bearable to me.” Jenny says she admired the village’s incredible architecture. “It is just magnificent, they do everything in style. I have very high standards and there is not one standard here that hasn’t been met.” She is hopeful more will soon make the move to the 12ha property. “I want to see this take off because it is something that has never been done in Nelson to this high standard. I come from very high standards and I have maintained them in my life, and I couldn’t be happier here.” Jenny now spends her days catching up with friends, going for walks around the village and enjoying the wildlife. “I am not young, I just want to enjoy these years and it’s got off to an incredible start. Every day I wake up here, I am in heaven.”

Nelson's expensive water: Ever since the 1980’s, Nelson ratepayers have paid dearly to ensure a secure and safe water supply. Particularly since the commissioning of the water treatment plant, our water supply has been reliable and safe, but after the introduction of water meters it has been one of the most expensive in New Zealand. Consequently, for many households, it has been uneconomic to water vegetable gardens during our dry summers. Other councils around the country have not been responsible and their ratepayers have been left with a disgraceful standard of water infrastructure. As a Nelsonian, I will be very angry if government restructuring of the nation’s water supply governance results in further universal taxes to pay for upgrades to councils that didn’t invest wisely like we did in Nelson. We have paid for our infrastructure and we shouldn’t have to pay for oth-
This week I announced my retirement from Parliament at the end of the current Parliamentary sitting on 10 June. I was disappointed to lose the Nelson seat at the 2020 election after 30 years representing this region. It was working for constituents and advocating for the region that I enjoyed most and I have come to realise that the role as a List MP is just not me. I had
ers who were not as responsible as us. It is distressing to see the lack of vegetable gardens due to watering being unaffordable. Home gardening to feed your family can be very satisfying and beneficial to the environment. Ian Barker Bankrupt Nelson ratepayers: Forging ahead to build a $46 million-plus library and the merging of the port and the Nelson Airport to borrow more money will literally bankrupt many ratepayers. And, let's be crystal clear - if the ratepayers and property owners costs rise then this gets passed on to those who rent ... the poor. Bernie Goldsmith Concern over empty flats: I am equally astounded about the lack of speed that Kāinga Ora displays. We’ve had an empty flat for over two months now and there are a lot of desperate people out there. It has never taken that long. Doris Mahrla

Concern over empty flats: Doesn't make sense, unless the places are uninhabitable or getting work done. Meanwhile there are people living in motels at the taxpayers’ expense and in quite a few even worse cases, living in their vehicles. I'm trying my best to accommodate people affordably on our property while my district council are trying to slow me down. I can't see this problem getting better any time soon. Kris Cumpstone That is so wrong. What is the hold up? If they need repairs done, just get on with it. Too many without homes and we see stuff like this. Tania Johnstone Sadly, it's not just pensioner housing that is sitting empty, although if waiting for heat pumps there is a big delay. Also, three family homes in Tahunanui. The new providers need to step it up. Sue Sara
Students weigh in on uniforms: I loved having a uniform, it's way easier to know what to wear each day. I miss having a job with a uniform as now I’m constantly second guessing what I wear. Hannah Cooze Yes, no fuss in the morning rush as to what to wear, and no competition over who wears the latest gear. George Heather Terry My kids prefer no uniform as they are able to express themselves. After a mufti primary school, they have all hated going into a uniform for intermediate and college. To say it saves parents money on clothes I find hard to swallow the cost of uniforms is daylight robbery.

Fundraising for freedom Rain could not keep the patriots away as hundreds turned out for a fundraiser for Myanmar at Victory Square on Sunday afternoon. The country is in the grips of a military coup d'état after forces overthrew the democratically elected government back in February. The conflict has resulted in the deaths of 739 people with more
than 3000 illegally detained. Nelson is home to thousands of Burmese refugees, and they were out in force on Sunday, decrying the actions of military leaders while raising money to send home to those affected. Ban Sang Lian’s band performed passionately at the event and says they shared a united vision of a functioning democracy in Myanmar.
“We had to make this fundraiser happen, even in bad weather, because this is the only thing we can do to help our people.” Lian says having his band entertain brings more people together, which ultimately means more funds for those in need. “We want democracy, no more control by the military, we want freedom!”

Jonty Dine When Nelson Shoe Clinic owner Brett Meehan read about students looking for shoes for underprivileged youth, he knew he had found the perfect match. Nelson Intermediate students Aryan Pradhan and Meh Mo have been on the hunt for unused shoes as part of the national ‘lazy sneakers’ initiative. The programme pairs sneakers no longer being used with a young person eager to fill them. The Shoe Clinic has a 30-day money back guarantee for customers who bought shoes that do not quite fit properly. This means Brett is often inundated with slightly-used shoes, unable to be resold. So, in a bid to ease hardships for local athletes, Brett opted to donate 45 pairs of quality shoes to the school. This has brought the total able to be dispensed into the community to almost 200 pairs.
ab it, t
Brett says it is unfortunately all too common that families are unable to afford proper footwear. The Shoe Clinic has previously had relationships with Kids Can and Walk with Us. “We saw this as a pretty worthy cause.” Brett says there were some “pretty wild smiles” as he arrived at the school with two boxes filled with shoes. “I think it is going to make a difference to a lot of families, which is really nice to see.” Brett congratulated Meh Mo and Aryan for helping promote a real community need. Today will see the first sneaker drop by the school where youths can come and select a pair of sneakers for themselves. Teacher Tony Jenkins was delighted by the donation and says, all going well, the initiative will be introduced in other schools in the region. If you have sneakers you no longer use, please consider a donation to Room 14 at Nelson Intermediate.

Museum celebrating 100 years of Cawthron Erin Bradnock Life-sized sharks, innovative algae and live science talks are some of the things that visitors to the Nelson Provincial Museum will get to explore at Cawthron's new exhibition. The exhibition, called ‘Our Science, Our Future – 100 years of Cawthron’, opened last Thursday and is part of Cawthron Institute’s 100-year celebrations. Cawthron Institute trust board chair John Palmer says the exhibition demonstrates Cawthron’s special ongoing connection to the community through education. “We’re delighted to have partnered with the Nelson Provincial Museum to share Cawthron’s story and its world-
leading science with the people of Te Tau Ihu.” Officially established in 1921 with a hugely generous bequest from Nelson businessman and philanthropist Thomas Cawthron, the institute has grown to be New Zealand’s largest independent science organisation with 300 staff from 35 countries working across multiple sites in Nelson. The exhibition features Cawthron’s research in aquaculture, seafood safety, algae and bioactives, freshwater and ocean health. The exhibition is also running live science talks which were kicked off at the museum on Saturday. Nelsonians were invited to a ‘mysterious world of
marine mammals’ talk by Cawthron scientist Dr Simon Childerhouse. Simon, a marine mammal ecologist, is one of several Cawthron scientists eager to share their skill set. Nelson Provincial Museum chief executive Lucinda Blackley-Jimson says the exhibition is a real celebration of two long-standing local organisations working together for the community. “We’re really excited about how it’s all come together and the opportunity it presents for people to learn more about Cawthron and the impact of its science in such a fun, hands-on and engaging way,” she says. The exhibition runs until 3 October, 2021.

How the Queen’s Gardens came to be If you owned a swampy, stagnant eel pond, full of rubbish, wafting foul smells from rotting vegetation and discarded night soil, what would you do with it?
The pond, situated next to the grandly-designed Government Buildings in Albion Square, was an embarrassment for Nelson’s early settlers. They wanted to be seen as a progressive, enlightened, and modern community. The pond was swampy and stagnant. The country was in the midst of an economic depression in March 1887 when Nelsonians formed a committee to determine how best to celebrate Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee. Options like educational scholarships, an endowment of a nurse for an Old Peoples’ Home, and a statue of their Queen, were all mooted, as well as turning the eel pond eyesore into a public garden. Because time and money were short, the committee chose the public garden option because it could be dedicated on the day, but they wouldn’t have to pay for its development immediately. On June 21, after raising the British flag and firing a 21-gun salute on the Church Steps, hearing
speeches, singing anthems, receiving medals, attending a church service then eating lunch, the excited community progressed to Bridge St to hear the mayor declare the eel pond would be transformed into a grand park named ‘The Queen’s Gardens’. Over the next decade, councillor Francis Trask drove the development. Work started in 1888, but the pond remained a muddy eyesore as council struggled to retain clean water. After sealing the pond’s bottom and sides with tar, they were successful. The gardens officially opened in 1892, with more speeches and planting of commemorative trees, during the Nelson settlement’s own 50th jubilee celebrations. Trask’s wife, Emily, gifted the ‘Cupid Fountain’ and pool in 1895, which replaced the planned band rotunda. When originally installed, one lion’s mouth was not connected to the water-pipes, so only three lions have ever spouted water. Soon, there were other gifts: pheasants, weka, kiwi, peacock, Chinese geese and parakeets, requiring an aviary to be built. It also housed a hedgehog. Later there was even a cage of monkeys!
In the early 20th century, military items appeared. The Troopers Memorial (remembering Nelson soldiers who died in the Boer War), Pitt Gates (dedicated to a Nelson military commander), a Turkish pontoon, (captured at Suez during WW1), a WW1 German field gun, and two cannon, (one the time signal from Britannia Heights) all appeared over a period of 20 years. A fernery, rose garden, ducks and swans, a gazebo over the water and decorative waterwheel turned by water from the old Alton St millrace that fills the pond have all been added, along with excellent signage explaining the garden’s vegetation. Huangshi Chinese Garden (2007) was developed using Chinese architecture, plantings and some established trees to recognise our sister city relationship. Nelson’s Queen’s Gardens now has a Category 2 registration as a Victorian Garden of Significance (Heritage NZ). If you visit the gardens Queen’s Birthday Monday, 7 June, between 1pm and 3.30pm, you’ll meet a passionate botanist, Mayor Trask, his irrepressible wife, a Boer War nurse, a WWI soldier, a 'friend' of Colonel Pitt, and a caretaker at

Colourful sewing gives gift of dignity Jenny Nicholson Giving dignity to women and girls is the motivation behind a group of local women who meet twice a week to sew colourful fabrics into reusable sanitary pads. The group, led by Debra Gibbs of Richmond Rotary, have distributed 1300 kits over the two years they have been meeting. “Some have gone overseas to Ghana, India, Zimbabwe and Cambodia and other kits are given locally to Women’s Refuge, Toi Toi Medical Centre, Salvation Army and the Community Karitane nurses,” says Debra. Each kit contains two shields and eight liners, and the kits that go
overseas also have two pairs of cotton knickers, a flannel, soap, a wash bag, a menstrual chart all packaged in a colourful drawstring bag. None are given out overseas without an education session led by a trained local speaker covering subjects including keeping yourself safe, washing hands, menstruation, and self-defence. The women are part of the international project Days for Girls which has over 70,000 volunteers worldwide. Debra says donations of 100 percent cotton fabric in dark colours with symmetrical or floral design, and cotton knickers are always appreciated. To contribute email nelsonnz@daysforgirls.org

When Shane Drummond starting selling $2000 second hand cars for himself in 1996 he was a young, passionate salesman who wanted nothing more than to strive for excellence. 37 years in the industry, twenty-five at The Car Company, that strive for excellence is still a cornerstone of the company that sells more secondhand cars than any other in the top of the south. The Car Company celebrates its 25th birthday this month. It was founded by Shane and his wife Sarah and has gone from a two-man operation to one of the largest car dealerships in the country. With 27 staff, three branches, over 500 vehicles in stock at all times and well over 25,000 cars sold, it’s been one heck of a ride for the man affectionately known as Drummy. And in typical Drummy fashion, he wants to use the Car Company’s birthday to give back. There are over 25 $100 vouchers to give away and every vehicle at every branch is reduced, trade in deals and much more. With three branches on Rutherford St, Tahunanui and Richmond, the Car Company is an institution in the region that has grown to include the Money Company for finance, a workshop and a grooming wing. The type of vehicles being sold has also changed, with the Car Company being electric and hybrid vehicle specialists as well as owning the franchise for SsangYong and LDV. Over the past 25 years the Car Company has helped tens of thousands of Nelsonian’s into new cars, being known for making it easy to buy a car by being a “one stop shop”. But it isn’t just selling cars where the Car Company excels, it is a huge contributor back to the local community. The Car Company is a major sponsor of rugby, cricket, bowls, basketball, and countless other community groups, schools and organisations. Women’s Refuge is another organisation that benefits from the Car Company’s generosity, donating $50 per vehicle sold one month a year plus other initiatives throughout that month. Since 2010 has raised over $137,000 for the local organisation. Anyone who knows Drummy knows there’s countless other projects outside of his work at the Car Company that he’s helped with or ran for

But it didn’t start like that. It started in a general store in Motueka. “My first job after leaving school at 16 was at Whitwells in Mot, I did pretty well there so they flicked me across the road to their other store selling whiteware and appliances. I set up a record section and car accessories in that store and did pretty well there too.” But cars were what a young Shane wanted to sell so he wrote a letter to Henry Houston, then-dealer principal at Houston Motors. “There wasn’t a job going but I told him I wanted one, he came out to Motueka to see me, without telling me he was coming and asked to speak to me. He offered me a job but I’d al-
ready decided to head to Perth with a mate for our OE, I told him he’d have to give me 24 hours to decide. He couldn’t believe it and I came back to him the next day and said ‘yes, lets go’.” The late Henry remains his most influential mentor. From there Shane quickly made an impression, winning the award for top Sales Manager for Mitsubishi throughout the country. Promotions to sales manager positions and offers to buy into the company came but Shane wanted to run his own ship. So, in 1996, on a plot of land he bought in Nile St, a 30 year old Shane started selling cars
for himself. “They were cheap cars but the two of us there did really well and soon enough I was pretty keen to expand.” Over the years, the Car Company has had – believe it or not – 25 different sites throughout the region. The most recent bought just last month, another on Rutherford Street. But Shane says it’s the people that makes him the proudest. We’ve had several staff here that have been with us for more than 20 years and another four that have been here for more than 10. That says something, I think. I like to give people opportunities to thrive, the rest is up to them but we give that opportunity.” Family and staff Young Drummond Family: Nicole, Shane, remain crucial to his values. Sarah and Mitchell Drummond. (taken approx ‘98). When asked, he says the one
client that really sticks out over the 25 years is Russells Curtains owner Bill Liddell, who has bought more than 50 LDV vans off him as well as countless other vehicles. “Bill was already a customer, we’d helped him into a couple of second hand vans for his business then he went on a trip to the UK, he came back saying that he’d seen this LDV van over there that he really liked, he heard they were coming to New Zealand and suggested I look into it. I told him that he was right, they were coming to New Zealand because I had gained the franchise off them and the rest is history. I like that story because he’s another great Nelson business that has grown so much and is now all over the country.” While Bill is just one happy customer, Shane reckons the secret to the Car Company’s success is the “three Rs” repeat business, referral and recommendation, we sell to sell again! “We really strive to make sure that every customer is well looked after, that every sale is a great experience and we do that time and time again. I’m proud of that and proud of how we do business.” 25 years unveils a new chapter with Ben Brownie coming on board as a shareholder and taking on a leadership role in the company, adding to his many year’s experience managing the Richmond branch. “Ben is now general manager and a full time buyer. He’s a great guy and really good at what he does, he’s a bit different to me, he’s more hyperactive but he has a great way about him and that’s exciting for the future of the business”. So with 25 years down, Drummy sees the next 25 years as building on its already strong foundations. “We have the fundamentals, it’s impossible to have the same growth we’ve had over the past 25 years but I think we can maintain our position in the market as being honest, reliable and for getting things done.” If you’re looking for a new vehicle, then now is the perfect time to take advantage of the Car Company’s 25th birthday generosity. Head down to either of their three yards to check out their huge range of vehicles, you won’t regret it.

Free child car seat fittings in June Erin Bradnock With over 80 per cent of car seats not being installed properly, Nelson City Council and Tasman District Council have partnered with Baby On The Move Nelson to ensure the region’s young people are travelling safely while on the road. All children under seven years of age must use an approved child restraint appropriate for their age, height and weight. If a car seat is not installed appropriately, it won’t perform properly in a crash. This means parents have to understand how to refit and adjust their car seats as their children grow. The team at Baby On The Move will check your car seat, then provide recommendations on how to achieve a safe and compliant installation – this could be as simple as installing a locking clip or changing a belt path. Marianne Hart Biggs at Baby On The Move Nelson wants parents to be confident that their car seats are installed properly. “If we can raise awareness and get as many free checks done this month as possible it would

Car seats have a reputation for being difficult to understand and install, but with good advice and education this doesn’t have to be the case,” says Marianne.
Tasman District Council’s road safety coordinator Megan Bell has got in early, bringing her 17-month-old Nina for a harness check at Baby On the Move last week.
“We know there’s a gap in education and understanding about car seats and we want to address that,” says Megan. The experienced team at Baby On The Move expect the promotion
to be very popular, so bookings are essential. To book please call 03-5472555, email nelson@ babyonthemove.co.nz or send a Facebook message to Baby On The Move Nelson.

identify This checklist will help you lation: tal if you can improve your ins • Does the car seat have minimal or no movement at the belt path? This means less than 2.5cm. • If the child is harnessed does the harness fit snugly? Perform the “pinch test”. If the harness is snug, your fingers will slide off the webbing. If the harness is loose, you will be able to pinch the webbing between your fingers. • Does your car seat require you to attach a top tether to an approved anchor point? Check your car seat manual to identify this. • Is your child below the maximum height and or weight limitations of your car seat (either rear or forward facing)? See stickers on the side of the seat or refer to your manual.
• Has your car seat expired? Check the date on the seat and refer to manual for life span. • Did you try the car seat in your vehicle before purchasing it? Not all car seats fit all cars – At Baby On The Move we ensure the car seat fits your child and your vehicle. We will also educate you how to use the car seat so you can feel confident installing your car seat.

Young local dancers will have the chance to take the stage with some of the country’s best performers as part of the Grooves! South Island tour this weekend. Described as an eclectic mix of classical ballet, jazz in pointe shoes and contemporary dance, set to the rock music you love, Grooves! promises to entertain and excite with everything from traditional tutus to sequins. Advanced local dance students auditioned to be part of the show and, once selected, had the opportunity to take a class, rehearse and eventually perform alongside some of the best dancers in New Zealand. Ashlee Thomas, Jade Talbot, and Sophie Tee have been rehearsing via video links with support from professional dancer Laura Saxon Jones.
Presented by Primarily Dance, the South Island tour of Grooves! will visit 11 regional centres including Nelson and Blenheim. Primarily Dance aims to connect with regional up-and-coming dancers in a bid to help them see the potential of a career in dance. “We have a lovely diverse group of dancers, and they are all fantastic performers and collaborators. It’s such a pleasure to work with everyone,” says artistic director Lesley Bandy. The programme includes a taste of traditional ballet with ‘The Dying Swan’, and a snippet from the ballet Les Sylphides. ‘Captured’ presents a stunning pas de deux to Bic Runga’s lyrical and emotional love song, followed by intergenerational duet ‘Smile Lines’, choreographed by RNZB choreographer in residence, Loughlan Prior.

The Nelson Provincial Council offered £100 to anyone discovering a payable goldfield in the Wangapeka. Eventually, a claim was made in the Rolling River area. Blue Creek, near the Wangapeka headwaters, was the most produc-
tive, but getting there was a hard 20 kilometre tramp from Bush End. The lure of gold was greater than the prospect of hardship, and while the gold lasted, Bush End prospered, boasting a hotel, general store and a smithy.

Nelson named top rowing club Jonty Dine Whether you are a seasoned veteran or a curious newcomer, Nelson Rowing Club has a place for you. This inclusive attitude and an unprecedented season of success saw Nelson named the best rowing club in the country. Not only this, but head coach Tim Babbage was acknowledged with a service award for contributions to rowing. “The club has had a fantastic season and all members are super proud to be acknowledged in this way,” says Tim. The win was Nelson’s first in 14 years and makes them just the second club in history to win the award twice, behind Christchurch juggernaut Avon. One of the club’s most promising young rowers, Nicole Campbell, says it’s quite a ‘cool’ achievement. “There are a lot of early mornings, but everyone is quite committed to it.” Nicole says it is the best cultural

Ollie is in his fifth season with the Nelson Rowing Club. “It’s been great to come through the levels, and it was easy to come in to, it wasn’t intimidating.” Karl Newton’s rowing career began late as he started with a fundraiser for his wife, but soon caught the bug and was rowing at the South Island 2019 championships.
“It has been a really cool journey and great to see little old Nelson picking it up over the big dogs.” From schoolkids to masters, Nelson Rowing Club caters for a range of ages and abilities. Established in 1876, Nelson Rowing Club is celebrating its 144th year and hopes to soon move to a new home. With the storage shed bursting at

the seams, the Nelson City Council has proposed moving the club into a new state-of-the-art facility as part of its long-term plan. It has been a hugely successful season for Nelson with crews repeatedly featuring on the podium throughout the South Island Club Champs, the 2021 Rocket Foods New Zealand Rowing Champs and Maadi Cup. The club had seven rowers rewarded with selection for the 2021 NZ U19 Trial or as a 2021 North vs South U19 Trialists. Ollie and Nicole were selected into the NZ U19 male and female squads respectively. The majority of the club’s Masters rowers are competitive and NRC will be sending a team of 39 rowers (including 8 novices) down to Ashburton for the South Island Masters Champs over the June long weekend. If you’d like to give rowing a go, new members are always welcome. Contact the club’s administrator at info@ nelsonrowing.co.nz
From a third-grade side formed through amalgamation, Stoke Rugby has grown to be one of the strongest and most consistent clubs in the region. Producing Mako, Maori All Blacks and eleven championships, Stoke has come a long way from the early days of using training lights in the form of two kerosene lanterns on a pole. Stoke has seen a number of significant changes over its 75-yearhistory. Initially called STAR (Stoke Tahuna Annesbrook Rugby), the club tasted its first success in 1953 with an eighth-grade championship. Just ten years after formation, the club’s net assets were £13 and its future looked bleak. However, the following season saw both the seventh and sixth grade championships, both losing only once. These youngsters sparked a resurgence for Stoke and in 1961 it officially changed its name and moved to its current home at Greenmeadows. The move was soon followed by

The successes kept coming as Stoke produced its first Nelson Bays representatives in Les Coldstream and Bert Smith.
The early seventies saw a brief stint in division two for the seniors before returning to the top tier in 1972.

The club then adopted its trademark scarlet colours and introduced the Eagle emblem. In 1977, Stoke’s own Michael Dore became New Zealand Rugby Almanac’s ‘Most Promising Player’ and the club closed out the decade with all Stoke senior and junior teams winning on the same Saturday for the first time. Then came the golden years of the eighties. Fielding a staggering five senior teams, in 1981 Stoke had four players selected for Nelson Bays; Trevor Olley, Evan Lane, Paul McKay and the club’s most capped player in Willie Dempster. With such a strong side, it was no surprise that Stoke claimed its first senior championship, beating Riwaka 17-0. Further championships were won in 1984, and back-to-back titles in 1986 and ’87. The ’84 triumph coincided with the opening of the new Stoke Sports and Recreation Centre. This period also saw Stoke go on an incredible winning run of 31 games, the streak ended by rivals

Stoke would also embark on an international tour of California, Nevada and Hawaii, finishing third out of 25 in a World Invitation Tournament and winning ‘Most Sportsmanlike Team’. Upon its return Stoke would go back-to-back for the second time to be crowned Nelson champions in 1991 and ’92. Coached by the incomparable Bill Liddell, the club had an uncanny knack for defending its title, winning consecutive championships yet again in 1996 and ’97. The turn of the century brought more changes to Nelson Rugby with the birth of the Tasman Mako. Stoke’s Kahn Fotuali’i and Ali Durrant became the first Mako from Stoke with Fotuali’ also the first Super Rugby player from the club after making his Crusaders debut in 2008 and first international, playing for Samoa in 2010.

Prices remain unbeaten Jonty Dine
Prices Waimea Ahurei were so short of numbers on Thursday that coach Mandy Whiting was kitted up in case she was required to play. However, despite an early scare, Prices maintained its unbeaten record in the Nelson Netball Competition. With just eight players taking the court, Prices saw off a brave Nelson College for Girls side 4931 at Saxton Stadium. Mandy admits her side were not at their best on Thursday night. "Just maybe an off night, the
connections weren't there as much as they have been, but a win is a win." Mandy says Price's performances over the opening three rounds mean they have set high standards for themselves. She was relieved she didn't have to make an appearance on the court as her troops dug deep to last the sixty minutes. "I was sure we would be fine, and I wouldn't need to go on." Shooter Harriet Ogilvie was superb inside the circle in the absence of regular Shar Lowe, nailing 47 of her 58 attempts at goal.
Prices were also without Zoe Walker for a second straight week and struggled to find their rhythm early on. Some wayward shooting saw NCG take an early lead which it stubbornly held for the majority of the opening fifteen minutes. College shooter Mia Fletcher showed great courage in the face of staunch defence, sinking several long shots under pressure. Captain Holly Chandler snatched an impressive intercept which saw Prices finally take a lead in the final minute of the first quarter. Prices' link work was far sharper
in the second, Lucy Ingham and Kalyssa Rasmussen laying it on a platter for their shooters to build a substantial lead. Ogilvie was particularly punishing inside the circle as Prices’ advantage stretched to ten at halftime. Chandler imposed her influence as the dynamic defender threw herself around the court, at one point clashing with a college player as both hit the deck hard. NCG kept fighting and managed to score 12 third-quarter goals to keep themselves in touch. Harriet put Prices into the forties with ten minutes remaining, but
Kim Curry and Chloe Dixon ensured their side plenty of respectability with a tireless effort on defence. Prices will meet Jacks in the final match of the round in a blockbusting clash. On court two, the in-form Richmond45 were made to work hard against Price’s feeder side, Pango. After losing the first quarter, Richmond stormed home to win 42-26. In the evening's later game, Jacks OPD saw off a spirited Stoke NBS side 66-49.

The Mike Pero Nelson Giants exacted some revenge on the Hawke's Bay Hawks on Saturday night with a nail-biting 112-109 victory at the Trafalgar Centre. Hunter Hale once again delivered with 41 points in a game with as many lead changes as people in the sold-out home of the Giants. With a 6-point lead entering the third quarter, the Giants couldn't put the Hawks to bed as Devondrick Walker and Hyrum Harris kept punishing the defence. However, the Giants were cool from the free throw line after the Hawks put them in the bonus with five minutes to go, and some big shots from Hale, Nic Trathen, and Donte Ingram down the stretch kept the Hawks just far enough away to seal a win in front of a rapturous Trafalgar Centre crowd. The Giants are back at the Trafalgar Centre on Thursday night as they take on the Manawatu Jets. Tip-off 7.30pm. Photo: Evan Barnes/Shuttersport.

Marist end Kahurangi's unbeaten run
SPORTS Football: Nelson Suburbs has sneaked into third spot in the New World Premiership after picking up a resounding win on the road at the weekend. Suburbs crushed Coastal Spirit 4-0 at Tulett Park in Christchurch on Saturday. Ross McPhie netted a second half double while Andy Tucker and Josh Creswell both got on the scoresheet as well. This weekend sees Suburbs take on Selwyn United at Saxton Field on Saturday. Kick off 12pm.
Jonty Dine Reporter

After six wins on the trot, Kahurangi's unbeaten run in the Tasman Trophy has come to an end at the hands of defending champions Marist. Marist prevailed 21-18 at a sodden Trafalgar Park on Saturday afternoon. It was a dramatic end to the match with Marist trying to kick to touch only for Sam Briggs to send the ball almost the length of the field toward the Kahurangi try-line. Fortunately, winger Douglas Fotheringham beat the Kahurangi chasers and brought an end to an enthralling contest. Skipper Jacob Norris says his heart was in his mouth after telling his first-five to hoof the ball into the stands. “Sam definitely made it interesting for the fans in that final play!” The Mako flanker says they knew they were always in for a tough battle against the men from Motueka. “With the weather conditions, adapting to wet weather footy was the main thing.”
Te Puoho Stephens on the charge for Marist as his side ended Kahurangi’s unbeaten run at Trafalgar Park on Saturday. Photo: Evan Barnes/Shuttersport. Jacob says his lads dug deep. “We knew it was going to take the whole 80 minutes and the scoreboard reflected that.” Despite a relatively tough run home, Jacob says his side is more than capable of taking out the coveted three-peat. Marist's win has resulted in a logjam at the top of the table with Kahurangi and Waimea tied for first with 31 points apiece and the defending champions five points adrift
with a game in hand. Meanwhile, Waimea Old Boys continued its strong form with a 32-14 win over Waitohi in Picton. After trailing at halftime, Waimea rallied in the second with a 25-point blitz to shut out the hosts. Elsewhere, Central and Renwick picked up victories over Nelson and Moutere/ Awatere respectively. This weekend sees Kahurangi hosting Moutere under
Friday nights lights in Riwaka while Stoke will celebrate its 75th jubilee with a clash at home against Marist. Waimea will host Nelson at Jubilee and Renwick will travel to Brightwater to meet Wanderers.
