Strung out from social media Erin Bradnock Local school staff are being bombarded by students strung out from the effects of negative social media use over the weekends.

Nelson Intermediate School

principal Diane Webb says social media bullying is a continuing issue for their students.

“We are finding that as a school we are dealing more and more with social media incidents that have happened outside of school hours.”

Waimea Intermediate principal Justine McDonald says Mondays are too often spent reconciling online bullying incidents between students from over the weekend.

“One of the biggest challenges in schools are students

unsupervised on social media and how that impacts on friendship groups.

“We spend a lot of Monday, and even to Wednesday, sorting through social media issues from the weekend.”

Last week, Nelson Tasman Life

Education Trust educator Ingrid Kemp was at the school teaching about social media, looking at concepts like empathy, decency, self-control and identity in online behaviour.

One thing she hopes students take away is that there are not two versions of themselves.

“There’s not an internet you and a real you. There’s just one real you. Which means if you are not kind on the internet, you are not kind.”

Many schools in the region have brought in outside help to explain to students and their whanau the realities of social media harm.

Local cyber-safety expert John Parsons speaks at schools up and down the country and agrees the impact of online bullying shows no sign of improving.

“In my working experience, I am seeing an increase in antisocial behaviour in young people. It has become so predictable in some schools

Parents need to step up and help their children navigate the pitfalls of social media, a local expert says. Photo: File. that more teachers are on duty on Monday morning to deal with the increase in anti-social behaviour, online and offline,” says John.

John says it is the parents’ responsibility to mitigate these harms with their children and worries about the burden

placed on teachers to deal with growing social media harm in schools.

“We can be idealistic or realistic.

Parents need to play a more significant role in children's use of ICT. This will then allow teachers to be teachers and concentrate on what they are

paid to do. If we keep piling extra work onto teachers, something must give.”

John encourages open dialogue between families including greater supervision of phone and internet usage, less internet time and facilitating conversations more regularly on bullying.

“A question I also ask parents to ask their own children is ‘Have you ever bullied anyone?’ We are particularly good at teaching our children how to protect themselves from others. We need to be just as committed to protecting other children if we think our own may be harming them,” he says.

Council takes Delaware Bay access to court Molly Swift Nelson City Council is hoping the Environment Court will help solve a long running dispute over access to Delaware Bay. In a Nelson City Council meeting on Thursday, one of the spokesmen from the Delaware Access Group, Peter Ruffell, said safety is a concerning issue in the area with at least three people a week having to be pulled out of the bay.

“You [council] could be liable if someone gets killed,” he told councillors.

The council’s move to redirect the public to launch boats at nearby Cable Bay puts peoples’ lives at risk due to unsuitable weather conditions for small boats, according to documents circulated by the group.

The Delaware Access Group is pushing for the council to create a designated place to launch boats in the area, however, the issue has been a contentious topic for 20 years.

The estuary is an ecological and culturally significant site for local iwi. In 1998, Te Huria Matenga Wakapuaka Trust, backed by Ngāti Tama, had claimed ownership of the estuary and the Māori Land Court agreed with them. The

The issue of access at Delaware Bay has been a contentious topic for 20 years. Photo: File.

High Court also subsequently backed this decision.

However, Access Group spokesman Zane Mirfin says it is more of a safety and community issue, rather than an environmental one.

He says the majority of the Coastguard rescues in the area are a result of people now having to launch their boats in Cable Bay. The group says this is also a regional issue, raising concerns over losing boating access points all around the Top of the South.

“People just want to launch their boat and go fishing, that’s what it comes down to,” says Zane.

Council's group manager environmental management, Clare Barton, says that despite

ongoing discussions regarding access to the area for vehicle and boat use, no resolution has been reached.

"While council considers vehicle/boat access is not permitted, there is some ambiguity in the meaning of the provisions in the Nelson Resource Management Plan regarding access to the area."

Therefore, she says, Nelson City Council has decided to prepare a declaration application to be lodged with the Environment Court to have these provisions clarified.

"This declaration, once determined by the court, will confirm the correct legal interpretation of the provisions in the Nelson Resource Management Plan and will then inform the council’s next steps."

End of an era for teaching duo Kate Russell You’d be hard-pressed to find a more dynamic teaching duo than Kay Herniman and Sue Knox.

The Stoke Kindergarten stalwarts have announced their retirement after having taught 27 years there together.

“They say we’re like a married couple,” says Kay, who refers to Sue as her ‘other half ’.

“We’ve been together so long that we wear the same colours. The parents often get us mixed up, and to the kids we’re ‘Sue and Kay’ we’re one.”

Both women came to the kindergarten in 1993 - Sue moved to Nelson from Kaitaia and was joined six months later by Kay, who had already been teaching at numerous kindergartens in Nelson.

Kay has been teaching for the Nelson Tasman Kindergarten Association for 42 years.

Stoke Kindergarten wasn’t the pair's first encounter, however - they taught together for a year in 1975, in Gisborne.

Sue says when they first started in Stoke, it was just

“The ratio was one teacher to 15 children in those days,” says Kay. Sue was the head teacher for 26 years and says they have seen many changes at the kindergarten.

“It has been 27 years of renovations and upgrades you wouldn’t believe what it looked like when we came here. We have a lot of pride in the place because we have worked so hard to build it up.”

Although it will be an “end of an era” for the good friends, they say they have many fond memories to hold onto.

“We have had a lot of fun.

There has been lots of dressing up. We really bounced off each other and have had such a great team,” says Kay. “We have the same core values and we both value having humour and fun as an integral part of what we do,” adds Sue. “It’s been a pretty amazing journey and so much fun along the way.”

Both agree that teaching is all about relationships and they have been fortunate to establish some lifelong friends in the Stoke community.

“I have made some incredibly

close friends over the years in this job, and it has been wonderful to watch the children grow into capable, confident adults, who often return to kindergarten with their own children,” says Kay. Deciding to retire wasn’t easy for the pair.

Kay says, after a health scare last year she had to stop and re-evaluate her life.

“I need to take care of myself now and I’m looking forward to spending time with my family.”

Sue decided that the timing was right for her, too.

“I had already stepped back from head teacher and my family have come back from overseas to live here, so it’s important for me that I’m there to support them.

“But we always said we’d go out with a bang together.”

Kay’s last day will be July 7, while Sue will finish on August 16.

“It is time to move on and feel pride in what we have achieved,” says Sue. “Who else, for 27 years, could come to work and enjoy working with another person so closely?”

Monaco hospo venues sold: An Aucklandbased hotel investor has bought up both the Grand Mercure Monaco and The Honest Lawyer in one fell swoop. Murali Kodoor, owner of Auckland-based Golden Grand Trading Limited, trading as the Arden Group, announced the acquisition of hotel, from Patrick Sanders, who owns the hotel together with his family, at an undisclosed sum.

Murali says the company owns and operates a significant number of hotels and motels in the North Island but wanted to establish its presence in the South Island. “We are already investing in Grand Arden Monaco to make it a 4.5 star boutique hotel. This upgrade has created jobs in the community and the local companies will continue to be involved with our investment.” Arden Group then set about buying The Honest Lawyer, which had been on the market for some years ago but had not sold. After a short negotiation, Arden Group purchased the property off-market.

Hannahs shuts up shop: Hannahs shoe shop on Trafalgar St has closed. The store instead directs customers to head to Richmond Mall, or to shop online. However, it is understood that there is another tenant that will likely take over the space in a few weeks.

Nelson to have one of the country’s Record high only forensic nurse examiners house prices Molly Swift A Nelson nurse practitioner is training to become one of the only nurses in the country qualified to be a forensic examiner - helping gather medical evidence from victims who have suffered sexual assault.

Nurse practitioner and coowner of INP Medical Clinic, Lucy Halsey, got into the forensic side of medical care for sexual abuse about 10 years ago. Starting off as a nurse working alongside a forensic examiner, Lucy then decided to become the examiner herself, a role formerly only done by doctors.

“I don’t know why physically a nurse couldn’t do it, but they are only just accepting nurse practitioners,” Lucys says. “The more people who' can do this work the better.”

She says, in New Zealand there is currently only one nurse practitioner from NapierHastings qualified to be a forensic examiner and about three or four others training in the country.

Lucy says victims sometimes

A forensic examination is done by clinics but the results are not given to police until the victim decides they want to make a complaint.

INP Medical Clinic has the contract from Nelson Marlborough Health for sexual health, contraception and transgender care. It provides a wide range of sexual and reproductive health care services, as well as specialist care for survivors of sexual abuse.

Earlier this month, Lucy and her co-owner Jessica Irvine

celebrated their two year anniversary after buying the clinic from its founder Annette Milligan.

They think the biggest issue is getting recognition for the role of nurse practitioners.

“We are not doctors, we are not pretending to be doctors, we don’t want to be doctors. We have our own special point of difference,” Lucy says.

Nurse practitioners are “expert nurses” with advanced education and knowledge in a particular area of medicine.

Lucy says there aren’t enough doctors to go around and they are short of examiners, so nurse practitioners are needed to fill

in the gaps.

After watching from the sidelines for 10 years, Lucy was approached by another lead clinician nurse who told her that she should “just do it” and become a forensic examiner.

“It’s pretty confronting stuff…

What I’ve found as part of the examiner role is finding a way that makes all of it flow without just seeming as though you are just filling in a book,” Lucy says.

She says nursing requires a broad knowledge of how to best care for a victim. This can also involve general support, STI checks and pregnancy tests.

“Having a knowledge about mental health, sexual health and general life is really helpful.”

Lucy says the role is a huge commitment because you are on-call for a whole week and you need to be ready at a moment’s notice.

She says nurse practitioners are starting to be welcomed and embraced into the role on a national level.

“They are looking at all sorts of models because people are just so snowed under and I think we are lucky in Nelson for what we do have.”

Erin Bradnock

The region’s median house prices continue to break new records as Tasman’s hits $850,000, according to REINZ data.

Tasman saw a 21.2 per cent increase from $701,500 in May 2020 to $850,000 in May 2021.

The median house price for New Zealand, excluding Auckland, increased by 28 per cent from $530,000 in May last year to $678,500 in May 2021.

The REINZ house price index was developed in conjunction with the Reserve Bank of New Zealand as a tool to measure house prices and house price trends.

In Nelson City, median house prices have jumped from $580,000 in May 2020 to $700,750 in May 2021. This is down from the $735,000 median price for April 2021.

REINZ acting chief executive Wendy Alexander says a lack of housing continues to put pressure on house prices across the Top of the South.

“A shortage of available stock in the region has continued to put upward pressure on prices and resulted in a number of multioffers being placed on homes," she says.

Wendy says housing activity is expected to remain steady over the winter months before picking up again in spring.

“Looking at the overall picture, we’re still seeing that the lack of total housing supply is continuing to push up house prices.”

NCG up for Prime Minister's award Staff Reporter

Concept designs for a new Stoke youth park have been released. Photo: Nelson City Council.

New youth park design approved Molly Swift Nelson City Council has unanimously voted to approve designs for a new youth park in Stoke.

The park will be built on the car park of the Stoke Memorial Hall next to Whanake Youth Centre and is expected to have, among other amenities, a skatepark, basketball court and container stage.

The project has a $610,000 budget that will cover these amenities, however, council is looking for external funding for

other features to improve the facility.

These features include shade sails, a barbeque, catenary lighting, poles with creative lights, a deck extension, additional seats, an improved pathway emphasising the War Memorial Gates and art features.

Council received the designs at a community and recreation committee meeting on Thursday.

The park has been designed

by Kūmānu Environmental and has consulted with young people from Whanake Youth, Nelson City Youth Council, and

schools to develop the project.

Whanake Youth manager, Leeann O’Brien, says that the youth centre has been involved from the beginning in the project.

She says that the council have been proactive and it has been a great process of collaborating and listening to young people.

With the growing population of rangatahi in Stoke, she says the youth park is “needed and wanted”.

A similar project was cancelled by the council in 2011 due to concerns over safety in the community.

Nelson College for Girls is one of the 19 finalists for this year’s Prime Minister’s Education Excellence Awards.

The awards recognise innovative and effective teaching practices, and their positive outcomes.

"After a year like no other, the awards is a great opportunity to showcase the inspiring work of our educators across the country that made positive impact to our learners," says the Ministry of

Education's Ellen MacGregor-Reid.

The school is a finalist in Excellence in Health and Wellbeing.

"The school has shifted from being mainly focusing on academic achievement to putting students and their wellbeing at the centre," the citation reads.

"This resulted in better attendance and curriculum improvements to support Māori achievement."

The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony in September.

TEA AND TECH: Nelson College for Girls students Isabella Kennedy and Emma Rodd talking tech with The Wood Retirement Village resident Barbara Pownall on Monday. The session, which pairs young people’s digital knowledge with those from older generations, included questions about sharing photos, internet banking and even how to find cute dog videos online. Age Connect facilitator Beverly Mockett says Tea and Tech sessions are not only a space for those with tech troubles to ask questions but also a place for the generations to bond. “It’s about the face-to-face connection, the technology is just the beginning of it,” says Beverly.

Te Ramaroa set to light up Nelson Sara Hollyman

Playcentre fundraising to replace playground, Wednesday, March 31: Atawhai Playcentre raised $5,128 at their gala on April 11. The money will go towards their new playground, which is progressing well. “We have purchased our playground equipment, which is very exciting,” says playcentre parent and project manager, Kristina Wells. “Our landscaper had to pull out at the last minute and we are trying to organise a backup landscaper. Once this is sorted, hopefully soon, we will be on our way to completing the project.” The playcentre has received $18,000 in community grants for the project.

A 10-foot-tall cowgirl and a 20-metre-long inflatable whale are just two of the 33 light installations that will spread across the CBD during Te Ramaroa next month.

Te Ramaroa, formerly Light Nelson, will this year expand from its former location at Queens Gardens to include installations all over the city.

Project manager Sophie Kelly says the biennial festival, which was postponed last year due to Covid-19, had outgrown the space at Queens Gardens and the name change provided an opportunity to shift directions, which included expanding the footprint of the light festival.

“One of the key areas will be around the Cathedral Hill, utilising lots of different pockets of the area, including the steps and 1903, and spreading down into upper Trafalgar St,” says Sophie.

She says a performance precinct in the area will offer a community stage, music and roving performers, including

Te Ramaroa project manager Sophie Kelly and artist Anthony Genet with the installation ‘Sweet Jane’ that will form part of the light festival across the city. Photo: Sara Hollyman. aerial dancer Chloe Loftus and contemporary dancer Rodney Bell.

A food hub will be located at Kirby Lane with light installations through Old Bank Lane, Morrison Square, NMIT’s Arts and Media building and the Masonic Temple.

“This year it’s much more about discovery as opposed to having a dedicated route. It might be something you want to do over a couple of nights,

but actually you can just go in any direction and there is no entry or exit anywhere,” says Sophie.

Flame Daisy owner Anthony Genet will have his piece ‘Sweet Jane’ installed as part of the festival.

Anthony says, the 10-foot cowgirl was inspired by the death of a close friend he had known for 27 years.

She was created two years ago with the help of fellow artist Adrian Tuckwell and

took about three months to construct, seven weeks of which was full-time work.

With the delay from Covid, she suffered some damage while in storage, which has now been repaired.

“She’s 10-feet tall but not quite bullet proof,” says Anthony.

You will be able to find Sweet Jane in the grounds of the Christ Church Cathedral during Te Ramaroa which runs from 9-13 July between 5.30-9.30pm.

Fundraising for freedom, Wednesday, June 2: Despite a rainy day, the Free Myanmar fundraising event at Victory Square on May 30 was a success.

There were 17 stalls at the event, and the Nelson Burmese community would like to thank those that made it happen. The proceeds will help those affected by the military coup in Myanmar. “The money will go a long way to help thousands of our own family members back in Myanmar suffering economically, mentally, and health wise because of the military atrocities,” says a spokesperson.

Youth to rock Theatre Royal, Wednesday, June 9: Twelve local bands took to the Theatre Royal stage on June 11 for the Smokefreerockquest regional finals. Motueka High School band F.E.A.T took out the top spot, followed by The Batteries from Nayland College, and Steezey’s Touch from Waimea College in third place. F.E.A.T also won best song award for their original song, Cherry Wine. They will join solo-duo winners, m.o.t.h, from Nelson College for Girls, and Lucy Summerfield from Motueka High School, to go through to the next round.

Iron Duke Sea Scouts celebrate 100 years Erin Bradnock The Iron Duke Sea Scouts have been guiding Nelson youth on and off our waters for a century and, in their 100th year, the scouts plan on celebrating in style.

Iron Duke is Aotearoa’s oldest active sea scout group with over 130 Nelson kids and families involved today in the marinebased adventure group.

On July 3, the Iron Dukes will be celebrating their 100th year at The Boathouse, a building with deep ties to the scouts.

In 1924, just three years after

The Iron Duke Sea Scouts will celebrate their 100th birday next month. Photo: Supplied. the group’s inception, the scouts made The Boathouse their home alongside Nelson’s rowing club.

100 years on and few things have changed, a few less parties are resembling those of the '50s

and ’60s and girls are welcomed to adventure alongside the boys at the scouts' new home in Port Nelson.

Iron Duke leader Peter Kortegast says he’s incredibly grateful to The Boathouse which has generously donated their hall to the Iron Dukes 100th celebration, free of charge.

With over 600 members in the scout's database, Peter wants to make sure as many Iron Dukes as possible, past and present, hear about the festivities.

“We want to have a big dance to celebrate, just like the old days,”

says Peter.

The scouts are also working hard to keep ahold of the Jellicoe Trident at the end-of-year National Scout Regatta hosted in Picton.

Last year's regatta was postponed amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

“We’re feeling pretty confident for Picton at Christmas, it will definitely be a highlight for our centennial year,” says Peter.

Environment Centre secures ‘crucial’ funding

Erin Bradnock

The Nelson Environment Centre is set to receive a welcomed financial boost thanks to a $6.4 million grant into regional environment hubs across the country.

For the Nelson Environment Centre (NEC) this grant means projects like citywide composting, kai rescue, e-waste recycling and ReUse shops can strengthen alongside the start of new projects.

The NEC is an independent non-for-profit organisation and Aotearoa’s oldest

environment hub of its kind, having been a part of the Nelson community since 1976.

NEC chief executive Anton Drazevic says the Vivian Place centre has been running at a financial loss for the past two years and describes the funding as “critical” for the not-for-profit centre.

“We’re a true social enterprise, everything we get gets reinvested into the programmes we have,” says Anton.

He says the centre is currently 80-90 per cent self-funded with a team of 57 who keep operations running at the

NEC, with 21 paid positions and 36 volunteers.

The Ministry for the Environment’s $6.4 million of funding will be administered and distributed by Environment Hubs Aotearoa.

Over the next four years, the Environment Centre is set to receive $70,000 per annum from the grant.

The Ministry for the Environment has supported environment hubs across the country with funding since 2000. The funding boost represents an increase in support from $300,000

per annum to $1.2 million, meaning that the number of hubs receiving funding can increase from 9 to 16.

Anton says the funds will enable the NEC team to not only improve current projects but push on with fresh ideas including tackling construction waste and a bike repair hub.

“Over 50 per cent of our landfill waste here is from construction. This will be a big focus to develop and expand our construction waste capacity to rehome and reuse these resources,” he says.

Nelson Environment Centre CEO Anton Drazevic says the Government funding will allow the centre to not only continue, but to grow. Photo: Erin Bradnock.

Nelson’s lost projects: Montgomery Square pocket park Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

It was to be a shiny new addition to Nelson’s city centre ahead of the 2011 Rugby World Cup. The $1.5 million Montgomery Square pocket park was planned as a multi-purpose, family-friendly addition to improve connections within the CBD - echoing late Nelson mayor Kerry Marshall’s vision for the city - “we could, and can, make it better”.

The project included developing the eastern edge of the square and Bank Lane, including a ‘living wall’ brimming with plant life that would be watered by stormwater run-off.

The upgrade was adopted in the Heart of Nelson strategy, following public consultation in 2009.

However, despite being a “high priority”, the project halted after commercial property owner Gaire Thompson and lawyer John Fitchett won a High Court battle against the proposal, saying the council had not adequately consulted on the project.

They told the High Court that council staff had “hijacked the process”, producing a plan that was much different from what had been approved in the strategy and the council's annual plan. This included changes resulting in the loss of carparks.

Looking back, Gaire says it was an “unrealistic proposal”.

“The proposal involved one-way traffic, a restricted

outer ring making it difficult for delivery vehicles and impossible for large fire appliances to navigate, and a sloping grass park which removed a number of essential car parks.

“Children playing there were in danger of running down and being hit by passing vehicles. The council failed to consult with affected parties and lost the court case as a consequence.”

John echoed Gaire’s comments.

“I am sure the High Court decision was correct, and when councils refuse to listen to genuine concerns, sometimes citizens need to take a stand, even at personal expense.”

Derek Shaw, a councillor at the time who was also part of the project’s steering group, says it could have been “a great pedestrian-focused space for a variety of uses”.

“The Montgomery Square pocket park would have provided another quality, vibrant and popular peoplefriendly space in the central city, much like the section of Trafalgar St between Hardy St and Selwyn Pl has become,” he says.

Derek thinks it could have been designed to complement the Nelson Market as well as some of the adjoining businesses.

Reflecting on the project 10 years on, Nelson mayor Rachel Reese, who was a councillor at the time, says that although the proposal was well aligned with the Heart of Nelson’s objectives, it fell over during a period

“It made sense and had a high level of buy-in. But delivering specific projects still required targeted engagement, and depending on scale, public consultation based on sound legal advice and understanding of land ownership.”

After considering submissions to the 2012/13 annual plan, the decision was not to include funding for the project but to further consult to try and reach a collective agreement.

“The project stalled, and the focus moved to developing the Maitai Walkway and Rutherford Park.

Later, earthquake strengthening to the Trafalgar Centre became an urgent priority.”

Rachel says there will always be detractors when it comes to change.

“The challenge is to listen well, hear and address concerns without comprising outcomes, be open to new ideas, and then to act to deliver projects that align with the plan or strategy that you’ve developed with the community.”

Calling all volunteers

A 4.2 metre shuffleboard sits in the middle of Stormy’s Man Cave Barbershop. Photo: Molly Swift.

Shuffleboarding comes to local barbers Molly Swift

When you are next waiting for a haircut at Stormy’s Man Cave you won’t just have to thumb through old magazines to occupy your time.

Now there is a 4.2 metre shuffleboard to play - you just might need to spend some time figuring out the rules of the game.

Stormy’s Man Cave Barbershop is now home to one of the only shuffleboards in New Zealand. The bar game is a big deal in the United States but is almost unheard of to Kiwis.

Introduced by the owner of the barber, Kyle Crittenden, the American tradition of shuffleboard was brought to Nelson to add to the atmosphere of the barbershop.

“We’ve always tried to fit that man cave guy’s space, like a

gentleman space,” Kyle says.

The barbershop already has a variety of games such as a pool table, foosball and darts.

Similar to lawn bowls, shuffleboard is a game where you slide pucks down a board into a point score zone. The aim is to try to block your opponent’s shots or knock them off the board, and the player with the most points wins.

“I love it because of how easy it was to play,” Kyle says. “It’s a little bit of skill, but a lot of it is just luck and random chance where the pucks would lie.”

Kyle only knows of one other shuffleboard, in Auckland.

He says that he knows the game is rare in New Zealand because most people ask about what it is.

Originally from the United States, Kyle started playing shuffleboard at dive bars as a

casual drinking game.

Shuffleboarding is common in American bars, but after not seeing any in New Zealand, Kyle was missing the game so much that he decided to build one here in Nelson.

With the help of his friend Nick Robinson, a teacher at NMIT, the pair used the polytechnic’s workshop while students were on holiday to build the large pine table.

“I think it’s beautiful,” Kyle says. “The actual table looks really nice if you take the time to stain it and make it look like a part of the furniture.”

As for the customers, Kyle says they are a little bit timid at first but once he shows them how to play it they get right into it.

Kyle says the shuffleboard is a nice easy way to strike up a conversation with people and a good time waster for people waiting for their haircut.

We all need to stay connected to one another, says Volunteer Nelson project manager Jo Nicholls.

“Connecting and strengthening our social ties with others keeps us healthy.”

She says part of that can be volunteering which keeps us active and engaged in our community and stretches us to expand our horizons and learn things about ourselves.

11

So, to that end, Volunteer Nelson is running an open day at Annesbrook Church on Saturday from 10am to 2pm.

“Getting involved doesn’t have to be complicated and it doesn’t require hours of our precious time.”

Jo says there are more than 30 organisations that support many different causes throughout the region.

“Come and see how you can benefit.”

A central city project: If the Nelson City Council really wants to see residential development for housing intensification, they could put Buxton Square to better use than a car park. On the model of the pretty Squares in London's West End, they should start by creating a green reserve in the middle, where there are already some well-established trees. Surrounding the reserve would be built affordable housing, one or two-bedroom townhouses and flats, all with easy access to the central reserve. And might one day “a nightingale sing in Buxton Square”?

National caused this problem, and greedy landlords. My mate with two children was given notice from his home as they wanted to renovate, but it is now being rented again for a higher price. Nelson has a shocking lack of healthy homes. We have sunshine wages and now sunshine houses with no walls. Dilmah Cunningham The Government are not paying, we are. Where is the incentive to move on if they get free accommodation? They should at least pay the equivalent of normal rent as it's only the shortage of rental properties, not their ability to pay, that's being sorted. Gary Scott I have seen and heard of Housing NZ homes sitting empty for months on end all it takes is one useless manager.

The current claim is huge consultation has taken place regarding the current plan to join the meth and dope park (AKA Anzac Park) to the Russian vodka pavilion in Queens Gardens. I have owned one CBD property for 30 years and have an involvement with another two. Three friends own properties in Trafalgar St, Bridge St, and Rutherford St. None of us have been sent a bit of paper or email about the proposals. I arranged with NCC to talk about intensification. I hired a venue and advertised it in the media.

Sixty people turned up and a few hours before the meeting, NCC advised they had something else to do and were not coming. I represent the Nelson Property Investors Association, yet they have not communicated with us. Surely if they want to stuff people upstairs in the CBD, they need to talk to the people who own the buildings. Glenn Morris What about the proposed playground and cafe

Vaccinations for the rest of Aotearoa New Zealand The COVID-19 vaccination rollout for the general population starts from the end of July.

Our COVID-19 vaccination programme has built momentum steadily since February. We are vaccinating around 100,000 people a week at the moment. In the second half of the year we hit top speed and everyone in New Zealand aged 16 and over will be able to be vaccinated.

Moving to the general population So far, vaccinations have been made available to those most at risk of getting COVID-19 to limit the chances of it getting into the wider population.

With more vaccine supply coming on, and having ramped up our infrastructure, vaccinations for everyone else in New Zealand aged 16 and over (the general population) start from 28 July.

This is a very large group of people. To make this flow smoothly, we will break this down by age bands.

All people aged 60 plus can book their vaccinations from 28 July.

Then, two weeks later, people who are 55 plus. From there, new age bands will be opened up every 2–3 weeks based on confirmed deliveries of the vaccine and the speed of rollout to earlier groups.

By mid to late August, invitations should be open for people over 45. By mid to late September, invitations should be open for those over 35, with everyone else being eligible from October.

Invitations Most people will get a direct invitation to book – either by email, text, phone call or in the post. You will then be able to book through Book My Vaccine, a new national booking system that will be online from 28 July, or phone a new national call centre. Availability of booking slots (the date, time and place you can be vaccinated) will vary between district health board (DHB) regions.

Once you are eligible to be vaccinated, you can be vaccinated at any time. There is no cut off.

Registration Even if your age band isn’t open, everyone aged 16 and over will be able to go to Book My Vaccine to register for an invitation from 28 July. Registration means we will be certain to have your correct contact details and when your age group is opened, you will get an invitation telling you it’s your turn to book.

Find out more at Covid19.govt.nz

Getting a vaccination Step 1

Receiving an invitation We’ll call or send you an email, text or letter to invite you to book.

Step 2

Make your booking From 28 July, go to Book My Vaccine or call the new national call centre to book both doses, or to register if your age band isn’t open yet.

Step 3

Get your vaccination Have your first vaccination dose.

3–6 weeks later have your second vaccination dose.

If you don’t hear from us, or are concerned, you can register for your vaccination through the new national Book My Vaccine booking system at any time from 28 July.

Other ways to get vaccinated As we go through the year there will be other ways for people to be vaccinated. These will include workplace vaccinations and other targeted vaccination events across the country. For some remote rural communities we will vaccinate all age groups at the same time to make it easier for them. Our successful whānaucentred approach to vaccinations will continue for Māori and Pacific communities and those with disabilities.

Do something for nothing

Joshua Coombes is a hairdresser by trade, whose client list for the past few years has exclusively been the homeless. It all started on his way home from working in a London salon.

Joshua met a man who was sleeping rough and he just felt that he wanted to do something for the man. He remembered that he had his scissors in his bag and offered the man a haircut. Joshua spent the next hour cutting the man’s hair and trimming his beard and, most importantly, talking and listening to his new client.

Six months later he gave up his job at

the salon and has been working for nothing since 2015. Joshua started a movement and has captured his experience in a book entitled, `Doing Something for Nothing.'

“Next week is National Volunteer Week and is an opportunity for us to pause and recognize the contribution that volunteers make to our communities”, said Gordon Oldfield, manager of Volunteer Nelson. About a million people in New Zealand donate their time through volunteering.

The economic value of their work is estimated to be $4 billion. Oldfield says, “There are volunteers working

Play sheds light on affray Judene Edgar

A new play by a Nelson playwright hopes to shed light on a mistold or little known piece of New Zealand history.

The Wairau Affray is about the ill-fated attempt by Nelson colonists to confront Te Rauparaha at Tuamarina in 1843, in a dispute over land ownership.

Local actor Nick Kemplen plays Captain Arthur Wakefield who took a party of almost 50 armed Nelson settlers to Wairau. More than 20 settlers and at least four Māori were killed in the first major armed clash between Māori and Pākehā in New Zealand, the only one ever in the South Island.

Nick says that playing Wakefield is both an interesting and challenging role, “particularly some of his oldschool archaic beliefs”. While he appreciates his business savvy, he says that Wakefield became unstuck due to his uncompromising approach.

“Justin has done a lot of research to bring a fair and balanced story to life,” says Nick.

Justin has worked for the past three years to bring this sometimes-contentious part of Te Tau Ihu’s history to the stage, including a series of stage readings as part of Whakatū Heritage Month in 2019 and an open rehearsal in May. “While the story is about Ngāti Toa tūpuna tāne (ancestors), and I’ve been privileged to have the support of Ngāti Toa Rangatira ki Wairau, the story is told from the perspective of the Nelson settlers, so as not to appropriate someone else’s story."

He says that the story also functions as a wider perspective on colonial Māori/Pākehā relations, with the Treaty all too often being ignored in rapacious landgrabs by greedy colonists.

"I think by the settler's own actions and words they condemn themselves,” says Justin.

Ngāti Toa Rangatira ki Wairau Trust chairperson, Patricia Joseph, says that it is an opportunity to bring a greater understanding of Ngāti Toa Rangatira history.

"We know it, we live it and the play is another platform to educate others through a different lens."

The Wairau Affray is being held at the Theatre Royal Nelson, 1 to 3 July at 7.30pm. Bookings are available from theatreroyalnelson.co.nz/show/the-wairau-affray/

Genius Ocean Fish is a brandnew dog food created by local veterinarian Dr Paula Short.

Genius Pet food has been operating for several years but, after their original manufacturer

closed their doors following the Covid lockdown last year, it was back to the drawing board with a new, larger manufacturer. The result was the new Ocean Fish flavour, for adult dogs of all breeds and sizes.

Ocean Fish is packed with locally-raised New Zealand King Salmon and a range of oth-

er carefully chosen, minimally-processed ingredients that are blended for optimal nutrient absorption and long term health, and backed by the latest nutrition science. Ocean Fish is high in protein and healthy omega 3 fatty acids, low in carbohydrates and, given the issues occurring with grain free pet foods being linked to heart disease, it is grain inclusive, so you can trust you are giving your dog the best nutrition possible. Whilst Paula is currently working on getting the brand into vets and pet stores across the country, Genius Pet Food is available to order online right now at www. geniuspetfood.co.nz What is a microchip?

Benefits of microchipping your cat: · Microchipping helps protect your cat and supports you as a pet owner. · Microchips are reliable, unlike cat collars which often come off. · Microchipping makes it easy for vets, animal shelters and councils to identify cats if they become lost or separated, or if they’re causing a nuisance. · Microchipping is recommended as best practice by the Ministry for Primary Industries in their Companion Cats - Code of Welfare 2007.

try. Both had the inspiration to harness New Zealand's nature's healing properties and to provide our animal friends with a natural alternative for skin and coat care. HoneyVet believe our pet's coat and skin should only be treated with natural products. Each of our formulas has been developed with the very best ingredients that New Zealand’s nature has to offer, including both Kanuka and Manuka Honey, Kawakawa oil, beeswax and more.

Our main ingredient, Kanuka Honey, is proven to have anti-inflammatory qualities that aid in reducing skin irritation. Honey is a humectant, meaning it draws in moisture from its surroundings and locks it in, ensuring your pet's coat and skin stay moisturised and nourished. HoneyVet products are veterinarian endorsed and New Zealand-made.

Tasman Trophy semi-finalists found amid mud and rain Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

It came down to the final round, but the top four sides in the Tasman Trophy have been decided in dramatic circumstances.

Central sneaked its way into the play-offs by virtue of its 55-22 win over Waitohi on Saturday, edging Wanderers out thanks to its superior points differential.

Both sides ended on 30 points which meant the side to progress would be the winner of their respective meeting earlier in the season.

Because the sides drew 19-all in round one, the union was forced to get out its calculators.

Central's 91-point differential was just nine more than Wanderers, meaning they will be the sole Marlborough representatives in the semi-finals.

They will be joined by Marist who also booked its berth with a 29-14 victory at Trafalgar Park over Renwick.

Both Kahurangi and Waimea Old Boys had the week off and had already secured hosting rights for next weekend.

Stoke and Wanderers each missed out by only a point but ended their seasons in winning style.

Tom Marshall returned for Nelson, which was also celebrating Dylan Turnbull's

100th appearance, against Stoke.

With Greenmeadows resembling more of a speedway than a rugby field, it was a sloppy encounter that saw Stoke triumph 24-0.

That resigned Nelson to second to last on the points table.

It had been nine long years since Tom ran out in Nelson colours and it wasn’t exactly a friendly homecoming with the pitch a far cry from the dry, hard tracks of Japan.

“I don’t think I’ve played on a worse ground than that. It was good fun though and good to be back for Nelson.”

Tom departed from New Zealand to Europe in 2012 where he spent six seasons with Gloucester.

In 2020, he then made the move

to Japan to link up with the Red Hurricanes.

“It was refreshing and a completely different experience.

I really enjoyed the rugby as it’s a fast tempo game, and not as physical as in the UK, so the body really enjoyed it.”

Undecided on his footy future, Tom is content to be back in the region with family.

“I have got a one-year-old son who has spent most of his life in quarantine- so it’s been good for him to meet his cousins and live a normal life.”

He says that he is likely to return to Japan, however.

“I haven’t confirmed anything yet, just been focused on getting back here and keeping fit.”

Tom was peppered with a number of high balls as the former Super Rugby star was welcomed back to club footy.

“It wasn’t easy out there.”

Things got off to an exhilarating start with Stoke hooker Kendall Hodson nabbing an intercept from halfway and showing enough gas to get to the line.

The fireworks soon fizzled though in what was a frustrating half of rugby with a number of errors.

Former Chiefs loosie Tevita Koloamatangi rumbled his way over to score a second for Stoke three minutes from halftime.

Jack Grooby struck again for the hosts right after the break before Matt Graham-Williams secured the bonus-point win to close out their season.

This weekend sees top seeds Kahurangi hosting Central in Riwaka with Marist and Waimea’s rivalry set to reignite at Trafalgar Park.

Kick offs are at 2.30pm.

Scorers: Stoke 24 def Nelson 0 Marist 29 def Renwick 14 Wanderers 52 def Moutere/ Awatere 14 Central 55 def Waitohi 22 Tasman Trophy semi-finals: 2.30pm Saturday June 26 Kahurangi vs Central at Cooks Reserve Riwaka Waimea Old Boys vs Marist at Trafalgar Park Nelson.

SportS Netball: Prices Waimea Ahurei welcomed Jacks Magenta to premier netball with a resounding 61-20 defeat on Thursday evening.

The defending champions were ruthless against the newlypromoted side as the second round of competition got underway at Saxton Stadium. Unbeaten in senior one, Magenta has replaced Prices Pango who were relegated following the first phase of competition. However, the side had its first taste of defeat this season at the hands of Prices who picked up its sixth win on the trot.

Football: The Richmond Athletic AFC Foxes made history as the first Nelson women’s team to reach round three of the Kate Sheppard Cup this season. They would however come up against a clinical Coastal Spirit side, going down 9-0 at Jubilee Park on Sunday. Nelson Suburbs would also suffer a heavy loss as they were eliminated from the Chatham Cup by Cashmere Technical. Suburbs were beaten 7-3 in a high scoring match in Christchurch.

Rugby: Nelson College sits just outside the top four of the Crusaders Championship after picking up a 53-3 win over Lincoln Combined in Christchurch on Saturday. Nelson will get the opportunity to leapfrog Timaru Boys this weekend when the sides meet at Nelson College on Saturday. Waimea Combined is languishing at second to bottom on the table after going down 29-12 in a brave effort against St Andrews.

SUPER BIKE: Filco Farm and Sport supercharged its Nelson showroom earlier this month with the official launch of the 200 HP Supercharged Kawasaki ZH2 motorbike. “It’s not often we are privileged to host a first launch but for this bike we are rapt to have done so,” says Dave Filer, owner of Filco Farm and Sport. Filco have upgraded the Kawasaki section of their shop and to celebrate Kawasaki NZ’s sales manager Nathan McLean, left, general manager Mike Cotter, centre, and Dave Filer put on an evening for the unveiling of the new bike which can reach speeds of up to 300km/h.

Nuggets nullify Giants as history celebrated Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

When Dave Taylor helped found the Nelson Giants in 1981, the side was so amateur they had to billet visiting teams, provide their own referee and wash their own uniforms.

“We never had a physio, doctor or all the support staff they have now, and we all had full time jobs,” Dave says.

He says it was a serious challenge trying to balance both his basketball and running his own timber business.

“I was lucky to have a really good family who loved the game, my wife even washed our singlets.”

Celebrating 40 years since inception, the Mike Pero Nelson Giants had its party spoiled by the Otago Nuggets on Friday night.

A host of former players, coaches and administrators were on hand to mark the occasion but were subjected to a frustrating 94-84 loss at the Trafalgar Centre.

Among them was Dave, who was also on hand to donate a singlet from the 1983 Giants side.

“I found it in the bottom of one of my drawers.”

Dave says it was fantastic to catch up with a number of faces from his playing days.

“Some of them I haven’t seen for quite a few years.”

Dave says, though he doesn’t get to as many games as he would like, his heart still firmly lies with the Giants.

Unfortunately, the side was unable to mark the occasion with a victory.

Dropping the first two quarters, Nelson came back strong to win the third and fourth, but it was too late and the Giants suffered its seventh loss of 2021.

Skipper Sam Dempster fought

tirelessly throughout 40 minutes, typical of the talismanic veteran.

"It's pretty disappointing, we know how important that game was to us, so it stings a bit. It was a special occasion so we would have loved to come away with the win, but credit to them."

The Nuggets opened with three consecutive threes and raced to a 14-2 lead as the healthy home crowd was soon silenced with the Giants struggling for cohesion.

Sam says Otago’s early accuracy took them out of the contest.

“They shot really well, we battled away, tried our best to get back into the game but it just wasn’t

enough. We can’t start like that.”

It won’t get much easier for Nelson who are set to meet the Saints at the Trafalgar Centre on Friday evening.

“It puts a bit of pressure on us now, but it is all part of the challenge to get ready for Wellington and I fully believe we can do it.”

Q1: 31-19 Otago Q2: 23- 18 Otago Q3: 23- 17 Nelson Q4: 30-23 Nelson Scorers: Nuggets 94 (Moss 24) Giants 84 (Hale 21, Dempster 19)

Monaco Marathon hits trail The eighth Monaco Mid-Winter Marathon took place on Sunday in cool, overcast conditions.

There were 69 entrants, made up of 42 runners and walkers and 27 two-person relay teams, taking on the course along the Great Taste Trail from the Honest Lawyer in Monaco to Rabbit Island and return.

The marathon itself was won by Natalie Price from Blenheim, who was runner-up in 2020.

She finished around 10 minutes ahead of the first male runner, Massimo Nember, who was shocked at being the first male home, having ‘never finished first in a race before’.

In the women’s marathon, Colette Read came home in second place, followed by Susannah Thomson. The two-person relay proved to be a thriller with Angus Wemyss and Julian Matthews winning by six seconds over Owen Warburton and Joel Bowater in a sprint finish.

Nelson rower set for second Olympics Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Brook Robertson only took up rowing to improve his fitness during the rugby off season.

He had never seen an Olympic Games having grown up dreaming of playing for the Crusaders and All Blacks.

However, following a number of injuries on the field and successes in the boat, Brook decided to focus on his newly-found sport.

Brook started with Nelson Rowing Club as an eager 13-year-old and now, 14 years on, that move has proven fruitful with Brook set to attend his second Olympics in Tokyo next month.

Having rowed with the Men’s Eight at Rio in 2016, where the crew finished sixth, Brook will compete in the Men’s Coxless Pair with Stephen Jones.

“I’m pretty happy,” Brook says. “It’s been a long season.”

Brook’s journey to Tokyo has been paved with uncertainty.

Not only was it unclear if the games would go ahead, but also what boat Brook would be in.

Initially selected in the Men’s Eight, sickness at the start of the year saw him miss the final squad, before being paired with Stephen.

“I was lucky enough that there was another boat I could slip into. It was good to finally get some clarification.”

His preparation dates back more than a year to when he was putting in hours of grind in a garage during lockdown.

“Training two times a day, six days a week can get quite old, but with consistency the hope is you get faster. I am feeling pretty good, and all the hard work is hopefully going to pay off.”

The 27-year-old says the team is going in somewhat blind having not raced internationally in almost two years.

“We are looking forward to racing some other countries.

We don’t know how fast they

are or where we stand so it’s a bit unknown but still makes it exciting.”

Despite the lack of competition, Brook says the team was highly motivated as one of the few in the world whose training has been largely unaffected by Covid.

“We realised it’s the biggest opportunity for us to make gains on other countries hit harder than us.”

Brook says there is a lot of prestige, rather than

pressure, about following in the footsteps of Kiwi legends Hamish Bond and Eric Murray.

“They are two of the best rowers in history. We are going in with no expectations but are just going to have a good crack. I’d love to get a medal but also just excited to see what we can do.”

Head coach at Nelson Rowing Club Tim Babbage says the club is very proud of Brook’s achievements.
