A spate of threatening behaviour at Elma Turner Library has prompted Nelson City Council to station a security guard on site. The council recently revealed that in a 16-day period in July, staff and customers at the library were subjected to harassment and threatening behaviour, with the majority of the incidents appearing to be alcohol and or drug-related. Between July 8 and July 23, 14 separate incidents were reported, along with various violations of trespass and general intoxication. Police and ambulance were required at a number of the incidents with three people trespassed. On July 9, the council decided to hire a security guard for 30 hours per week after noticing what was happening at the library. Councillor Paul Matheson told a recent council meeting that he has witnessed the disturbances on two occasions when he has been at the Elma Turner Library working as a Justice of the Peace. “It seems to be centred around the WiFi area, where the disturbances happen.” He says he feels for staff at the library. “Frankly, having to keep a beady eye on the happenings down there, it is an issue and quite rightly it’s been raised.” Council health and safety adviser, Malcolm Hughes, told an Audit Risk and Finance subcommittee meeting last week that the security incidents did take time to settle down, which was expected by police and security staff. There has only been one reported incident since the security guard took up their post at the library.

Charmaine Beaumont likens herself to Goldilocks. She jokes that Goldilocks started with three bears when she was a young girl. “Then she turned into an old woman and now has 300.” More than 320 bears and soft dolls line two bedrooms in Charmaine’s city centre home. Barnaby, sitting at just over 120cm tall, is the largest bear in the collection and he resides in the dining room watching over the daily meals. The hobby started 35 years ago when Charmaine saw a Huggies advert on TV with a bear jumping on piles of linen. “I just thought ‘oh, he’s gorgeous’, so I started reading about bears, joined the ‘Not Just Bears Club’ and bought my first bear; Sir Edmund Hilary Bear at the Auckland Museum for $1000,” she says. “It’s just a lot of fun and the bears are

friends, if you get a bit down you just go up and do things with them, it just takes you to another world.” She says she has been a serious collector for 25 years but, with plans to downsize their home, Charmaine will soon begin the impossible task of trying to halve her collection. She says some will be sold with others being donated to charities such as Nelson Tasman Hospice. It took four people 10 hours to carefully pack the collection for her last move from the North Island, so she’s hoping she will find a house close by. Charmaine says a few bears in her collection are one-of-a-kind, while all others are collector bears or limited edition. They are all hand-crafted from mohair or alpaca wool with the most valuable bear being worth around $3000, but the combined collection is valued at well over $100,000.

Security stationed at library after threats FROM PAGE 1 The rate of occurrence of security incidents looked to be improving across all Nelson libraries during the quarter from April to June, after an increase was reported in February. During the first six months of the year, 32 security incidents were reported across Elma Turner, Stoke and Nellie Nightingale libraries. Nelson City Council group manager community services Roger Ball says the security guard stationed at Elma Turner Library will continue to be employed until midSeptember. “Council is looking to recruit a fixed-term security customer relations role to

be shared across council services for a six-month trial period and will re-assess the need after that period.” Chair of community services Gaile Noonan says she’s happy with what council staff are doing to prevent future incidents. “I thought to myself ‘why is this happening at the libraries’? But it’s a community space, it’s a living room for the public and obviously that’s a gathering area and these types of things are going to happen, unfortunately,” says Gaile. “It’s important we look after our people. That’s the biggest priority.” Nelson City Council is planning an external security review of all libraries for later this year.

New toilets raise a stink Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

They may look beautiful, but the new $400,000 toilets at Queens Gardens are causing a stink with some users. Nelson City Council officially opened the long-awaited toilet block next to the Suter Gallery just over two weeks ago, but they have already received three complaints that the toilets are not flushing properly. Roger Ball, group manager community services at council, says there has been some “flushing issues” caused by restricted water flow in the toilets which is “currently being addressed”. “The contractor’s plumber has ordered the parts required and it should be resolved this week. Our apologies for any inconvenience - we have made our contractor aware of the urgency to fix this issue.” He says the toilets are still usable at present and are open to the public, however a “reduced level of service” can be expected until they are fixed. With an expected budget of $473,000, they contain two unisex toilets, one of which is disabled accessible and has a baby change table. They were designed by architects Jerram Tocker Barron to complement the exterior of the Suter Gallery. Meanwhile, council are moving

The recommended option for Tahunanui is a prefabricated block, featuring four unisex toilets, one accessible toilet and one urinal which could be open for use by September 2020. It will also have three unisex change rooms, one unisex family/accessible change room, three showers, shared hand basins outside the toilet areas

under cover, a drinking fountain with bottle filler and foot wash. The Millers Acre facility will be expanded to seven toilets, including one accessible toilet and additional space for baby change, one male urinal toilet facility and five unisex facilities. The estimated cost for Tahunanui is $900,000 and $814,500 for Millers Acre although council will not bear the brunt of the full costs as tourism grants from MBIE of $250,000 per project have been made for both upgrades. Both project recommendations will now go to full council for approval on 19 September.

More woes for the NEWS Welcome Cloak Kate Russell

The saga of Nelson’s most controversial sculpture is set to continue after it was revealed that the Welcome Cloak’s home is not ready for it. Almost a year ago, it was announced that the Welcome Cloak would be relocated to the outside of the Millers Acre building after it was taken down from Saltwater Creek in April 2018. But a meeting between Nelson City Council staff last Monday revealed that, although the Welcome Cloak is ready, the building is not. “The Welcome Cloak is fully repaired and is ready for attaching to the building. However, the building has been inspected recently and it was discovered that the cladding needs maintenance before it can be hung,” Roger Ball, group manager community services, told Nelson Weekly. “Repairs need to be assessed and completed before the cloak can be installed. The timeframe for those repairs is still to be finalised.” The Millers Acre building on Halifax St is owned by the council - so they will be fronting the repair costs,

This includes an artist fee of $39,200, an installation cost of $28,821, and $15,022 worth of maintenance and moving costs. The Welcome Cloak was originally installed over Saltwater Creek approximately three years ago, but it did not fare well in the windy location. After two years of tangled strands and bent bars it was taken down last May with council announcing it would be searching

for a “more sheltered” location. Millers Acre Centre was deemed the “most suitable” by council as it would still allow the sculpture to move but is not prone high winds. The Welcome Cloak was designed by Nelson artist Adi Tait and is made from strands of gold and anodised aluminium. It was designed to reflect the water and symbolises the historical importance of Saltwater Creek as a landing site for iwi and the boundary of where the land and sea met.

Pair guilty of murder: The pair standing trial for the murder of Stoke woman Tracey-Anne Harris in 2016, have been found guilty. Rose Morgan and Tyler Baillie were handed the verdict in the High Court at Nelson on Thursday after a 17-day trial. Nelson Bays Area Commander Paul Borrell says he is “immensely proud” of the work done by the investigation team over the past three years. Harris was found dead in her Marlowe St home on February 11, 2016, which launched a twoyear police investigation leading to the arrest of Morgan and Baillie in February 2018. The pair will be sentenced at the High Court in Nelson in October. New bishop ordained: Nelson’s new Bishop was officially welcomed to the city on Saturday. Stephen Maina Mwangi is the 11th Bishop of Nelson. He held a service at Christ Church Cathedral before being met by Mayor Rachel Reese at the bottom of the Church Steps. Steve, who is of Kenyan descent, was joined by friends from the Kenyan community in a procession down Trafalgar St. He replaced Bishop Richard Ellena who served for 12 years before retiring at the end of last year.

Next month, you get to have a say on who makes big decisions about the region’s health, with the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board elections being held 12 October, in conjunction with the local body elections. The objective of our health board is to improve, promote and protect the health of people and communities in the district. Board members are tasked with making sure it meets its obligations, both financially and in delivering health services. The next three years will be critical for our health board with key issues such as the development of a new hospital, a rising demand for services, a growing and aging population, and funding - with the recent announcement of the board’s $20 million deficit. But despite these issues, voter interest in health board elections is not what it should be. In 2016, there were 55,417 votes - an overall turnout of 52.1 per cent, according to Department of

Countdown raises funds for hospital Locally Owned and Operated

Countdown stores across the region are teaming up with Nelson Hospital to raise money for our youngest patients. The annual Countdown Kids hospital appeal launched earlier this month. It aims to raise over a million dollars for children’s hospitals and wards throughout New Zealand. In Nelson, the money will be used to buy a baby teaching mannequin capable of being incubated, which will give practitioners an opportunity to simulate the resuscitation of a baby at birth. The rest of the funds will go to upgrading the children’s play area in the emergency department waiting room. Countdown Stoke manager Kit Harding is no stranger to the appeal, having been involved with it for the past ten years. “It’s really great, especially when you

In the pipeline for later this month is a beach treasure hunt and movie night. “Every little bit helps,” says Kit. Lexie O’Shea, general manager clinical services at Nelson Marlborough Health, says the appeal allows them to receive items they can’t normally afford. “Many people have experienced a neonatal or paediatric admission or know someone who has, so they appreciate the extra play items and equipment.” The Countdown Kids hospital appeal runs until 28 October. Countdown customers can get behind it by visiting any Countdown supermarket and donating at the checkout, buying a raffle ticket in-store or donating online with online shopping.

Buxton Square has also recently had a gorgeous renovation as well. Vivo Buxton Square is run by Salon Manager Leanne, who says of her team of highly experienced stylists “We are a team who really love our job!” When asked what her team loves most about hairdressing, the whole team responds enthusiastically. “We love changing the way people look, educating clients about their hair and what at home products will get them the results they desire.” This team of 5 senior stylists are a diverse and dynamic group Leanne is from South Africa and has 25 years of experience.

Jenny and Andrew Dravitzki vividly remember they day they lived every parent’s nightmare. It was 2016 when they got the call informing them their son Billy had been in an accident. Billy fractured his vertebrae which dislocated his back and compressed his spinal cord, in a downhill mountainbiking accident on the Kaka track. The then 15-year old lost the use of his legs and is now bound to a wheelchair. “I never expected to get the phone call we did, I wouldn’t wish it on anybody, but at the end of the day we still have Billy,” mother Jenny says. However, she and Andrew have not given up hope of their son walking again. To help fund world leading research being done by the CatWalk Foundation, a Spinal Cord Injury Research Trust, the Nelson couple have arranged a relay event at the centre of New Zealand. The parents understand how expensive the research is and that every dollar is crucial in the quest for a cure to paralysis. “In the next ten years, they believe they will make real progress,” Andrew says. The aim of the relay will be for teams or individuals to complete the course as many times as possible in the allotted three hours. Jenny and Andrew say they hope to raise as much money as possible for the foundation. “I would give anything to have had it not happen, but it has happened, so as parents we have to provide a world for him and people like him,” says Jenny.

Nelson city springs into season with Four Lanes Festival Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Nelsonians waved farewell to winter in style on Saturday as the CBD was transformed into a carnival-like atmosphere for the inaugural Four Lanes Festival. Street performers, international cuisine, a ferris wheel and even a hot air balloon entertained hundreds of delighted locals.

The festival was dubbed Four Lanes as it connected Kirby Lane, Fiddle Lane, Old Bank Reserve laneway and Morrison Square. There was also a plethora of artistic creations on display, dancing, kapa haka and live music. The festival follows a theme of the Nelson City Council looking to make the CBD more pedestrian-friendly. Nelson City councillors voted

unanimously last week to declare Upper Trafalgar St a pedestrian mall. More than 85 per cent of submissions were in favour of permanently closing the area in some form, while eight per cent were against. A pedestrian mall is expected to be in place by October 18 to coincide with the beginning of the Nelson Arts Festival. The design for summer 19/20 will be a temporary

design to allow time for longer-term design work to be undertaken. Permanent construction is expected to be undertaken during winter 2020. The closure has been given a budget of $250,000. There will be exceptions to the prohibition of vehicles in Upper Trafalgar Street with emergency vehicles retaining access at all times and service vehicles between 6 am – 8 am.

Funding to help manage impact of freedom campers Sara Hollyman Nelson has been awarded funding of $256,000 to help manage the impact of freedom campers on the city. The funding from Ministry of Business, Industry and Employment (MBIE) is part of an $8 million package to help improve visitor behaviour

by encouraging responsible camping around New Zealand. The funding can be used for operating costs including education and enforcement projects, ambassador programmes, as well as temporary facilities like showers and toilets and must be in place for the peak summer season 2019. The funding cannot be used for

capital costs such as permanent shower or toilet blocks and carparks. Mayor Rachel Reese welcomes the announcement saying Nelson is a hugely popular spot for visitors. “We always want to make them welcome and share our wonderful city with them. However, we’ve been active in

managing the impact of camping on our city, and this funding will be a great help for us to achieve even better outcomes for this season.” NCC say the $256,000 will be used to extend their camping ambassador education programme, establish a temporary toilet and washroom hub in a convenient central location,

increase facilities for campers’ waste management and recycling and to run a user survey during the season. She says increasing educational patrols to promote responsible camping, and providing targeted facilities for campers should help reduce the impact of camping on the environment and community during the summer season.

Stoke author builds up ‘Wonderful Girls’ with new book Charles Anderson Editor

charles@nelsonweekly.co.nz

When Gina Foley started asking Stoke schoolchildren what they thought girls were like, she was surprised at the answers. “They were all very gender stereotyped,” she says. “They said ‘they like to look in the mirror,’ or ‘they have long hair’.” Having two young girls of her own, the author and illustrator was keenly aware of the attitudes that her children sometimes brought home. “I want them to know that girls can play with any toys or wear whatever they want and decide what to do with their own body.” But having that conversation can be tricky. So, Gina decided to write a book about it. Created with help from a Creative Communities Grant, ‘Wonderful Girls’ aims to break down stereotypes, celebrate difference, and encourage girls to be who they were born to be. Gina found that when she asked the schoolchildren a different question, there were different answers.

“I changed the question to ‘what are you like?’ and ‘what are the girls you know like?’. Then the answers changed to ‘my aunty is a police officer’ or ‘I like to pull silly faces’.” She then built a story around those answers, and even got local children to help draw some of the illustrations. Gina says she has always written stories, but illustrating was new to her. “Which is partially why all the characters are lady bugs, because I can’t draw people.” The result is exactly what Gina hoped for – a fun way for her to talk to her girls about being empowered. “I want them to be whatever they want to be and not restrict them to fit into any box.” She says it’s exciting to finally see it published and recently headed to Stoke Kindergarten to read the result to the children there. Gina says it is the first of a series of children’s books she hopes to publish through her new company “Wonderful Books”. You can order your own book by heading to https://www. wonderfulbooks.store/

Rescue helicopter on a roll with new cars Staff Reporter

The Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter Trust were after some vehicle sponsors when general manager Paula Muddle found herself in front of a representative of Nelson Kia. “They are going to be opening up a new dealership on Rutherford St, so they thought it was a good fit for them to help with our vital service.” Then MTF Finance thought they would also help out – so the trust has gone from no cars to two cars. Paula says they are grateful for the generous people in Nelson who help them out. One will be a rapid response car and another to be out in the community. Alan Kirby of Nelson Kia says it was great community fit. “With the trust, you just can’t get any better as far as community goes.” Each year the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter responds to over 500 missions throughout the Nelson, Tasman, Marlborough and Buller regions. With the base in Nelson being surrounded by three National Parks, the helicopter proves to be a vital service for the community.

Uber to launch in Nelson: Awesome. Nelson City and Sun City Taxis have had the monopoly for far too long and their prices are ridiculous. Time to adapt and compete or die out. David Flynn I’ll be supporting Nelson Taxis. Brenda Kenny

Cab drivers in Nelson find it very hard to earn a living, so I'll always support them personally, but I think it's a positive thing to have Uber drivers available for when the local taxi companies are really busy - just as a basic public safety issue (especially for women travelling alone at night) if nothing else. I'd also like to see some sort of registration and thorough police vetting of all Nelson Uber drivers before they're allowed to pick up passengers or deliver food to somebody's door. I don't know how Uber works regarding legal driv-

ing requirements, but I'd hope an Uber driver would be needing to apply for a passenger licence at the very least. Sand McDougall About time. However, Uber has lost the price advantage that used to make them preferable. Last time I was in Australia, they charged 1.5 2.5 times their rate on public holidays...hopefully though, the easy use technology will help keep people safer in a city where the public transport is poor at best. Rosemary Anne Aitken Let’s see what’s the public opinion is in Nelson. Uber will, in time, also bring Uber eats – 30 percent charge from existing restaurants for home delivery, cutting into profits but bringing new business. More than 200 million in business from the launch of Uber Eats in major New Zealand cities. Also, don’t forget Uber will hurt local taxi businesses in Nelson, more cars on road at the same time, cheaper and convenient transport within few minutes on

your app. Either the local taxis can become competitive or go with the tide, and see how many people sign up to be Uber drivers in Nelson as Uber doesn't send any cars or people - local people will get some way to make extra cash you need a full P license endorsement as per the new rules. I wish the best of luck to Graeme and all our local taxi people serving Nelson for many years. Virat Vij No problem with Uber coming at all. One thing I'd say to Uber drivers, though make sure you can refuse to take drunken, drugged and abusive patrons in your vehicle. Dennis Goodman I know taxis seem a lot, but their take home pay is like minimum wage or less. The good thing about being an Uber driver is you can say yes or no to a job and just work when it suits you, so you can also have a normal job. And you have to wait too long for a taxi. Hopefully Uber

will be quicker. A lot of people might start, but I don’t think a lot will stick to it. I also don’t see how they will be able to charge much less than taxis. They still have insurances, fuel, taxes, let alone their income. Also, will they be able to pick up/ drop off at the airport? I doubt that, although I’m not sure how airport would police it. Sara van Zyl I can’t believe it hasn’t reached Nelson sooner. Nick Tilly I doubt I’ll ever use a traditional taxi in Nelson again after this launches. Also, interesting talking to my school-aged son - he said he would use Uber but has never used a taxi........(and he said his mates feel the same). Gavin Gallot Awesome, it’s a great service and really simple to use! Great it’s finally here! Tasman Nelson

Nelson Matters Worry Turns to Crisis at Health Board Our Nelson Marlborough District Health Board has just announced a deficit of $20.5m. A month ago I wrote of my worry that they were estimating a deficit of $11.3m. A year ago the budget was for a surplus of $0.5m. This deterioration is a serious financial crisis that puts our critical health services under enormous pressure. The largest previous deficit was $5.4m in 2010. I know how tough it was on services and staff to put this right. It took years. The National Government increased the annual budget of our DHB by over $100m per year between 2008 and 2017. Our

DHB has been in good financial shape for the past six years, posting surpluses of $0.9m in 2015, $1.5m in 2016 and $3.2m in 2017. The root cause of our DHB’s financial crisis is the Government providing insufficient funding for wage settlements, holiday and employment law changes and pharmaceuticals. It is easy for Ministers to argue for higher wages, to pass laws increasing worker entitlements and to raise levies and taxes. The problem is that these put up costs for our board, and if not properly funded, create a financial crisis. Our DHB is also having to cope with a growing and aging population. These financial problems are

impacting on the delivery of health services. We are seeing a deterioration in key health targets within Nelson and Marlborough. The proportion of people getting cancer treatment on time has gone backwards from 96.1% when National left office to 90.3%. The performance of our emergency department has fallen from 94% to 92%. I am getting an increased number of Nelson patients complaining of cancelled specialist consultations and delayed surgery. These problems are not unique to Nelson. The combined deficits of all 20 DHBs has topped $500m. The Minister admitted in Parliament last week that 61 national measures of health services have

Fantastic, much needed service. Teena McCoy

Pic’s food factory dream becoming reality: This is fantastic! I heard about Pic and his beloved peanut butter in NZ. I love it when people who do well and give back to their community (and thanks to the New Zealand gov't for adding in your support). Vicki Saunders

got worse as compared to 27 improved since the change of Government. For example, people that are not immunised nationally has increased 20% from 7.7% in 2017 to 9.9% today, contributing to the current measles epidemic. National has been putting the pressure on Labour over cancer care and pharmaceuticals promising in July a big budget boost and a new Cancer Control Agency. The drug budget was increased by an average of $24m under National Government but Labour opted for only $5m in Budget 2018 and 2019. It is good news that this error has been corrected with the weekend announcement by Government for

additional drug funding and the new cancer agency. Nelson’s health deficit requires the same urgent attention from Government. The Board cannot fix this $20m hole without cutting core services. It cannot wait until Budget 2020. Health Board candidates in the current elections are campaigning in a vacuum. I am also concerned it will delay progress with the important redevelopment project of Nelson’s earthquake prone hospital buildings. I have invited Minister Clark to Nelson to meet community leaders, our Board and prospective health board candidates. We need assurances that this crisis will be fixed. Advert.

Some would call judging a cooking competition a dream job - but the Nelson chefs tasked with the job say choosing a winner for this year’s Up and Coming Chef Award was a tricky task. Six chefs from across the region spent last Thursday cooking their hearts out for a chance to take out the coveted title at the Nelson Hospitality Awards. The chefs had just 30 minutes to plan and prepare a menu from previously unknown ingredients. They then had just 45 minutes to cook and present their meals to chef judges Kevin Hopgood, Quinton Gately and Jeff Scott Foster. Quinton says they were looking for a “good plate of food” as well as skills and presentation. “We all had different views on [the winner], we had to deliberate at the end to come to a conclusion, because we’ve all got different palates.” “It was very close. The skill was good,” says Quinton.

The six competitors each turned out a dish using salmon as the main ingredient. Judge Jeff Scott Foster says he has a lot of respect for people who choose to enter competitions. “There’s a fine margin between being the proper chef at this kind of competition and not. They’ve only got 45 minutes to use all their experience,” he says. “They’re very nervous when they come in, there’s a lot of things going on in their mind.” Jeff says it was hard to get to the stage of choosing a winner. “There was a lot of elements we have to think about; hygiene, the way they work, everything has to be professional even the way they dressed, everything was taken into consideration to get to that point.” The winner will be announced at the Nelson Hospitality Awards at the Rutherford Hotel on Monday. Tickets to the awards dinner, which includes a three-course-meal and beverages, are available through the Nelson Hospitality Awards Facebook page.

reputation for working in partnership with others, so bringing Homecare to Nelson and Marlborough saw collaboration across the community and the full weight of Nurse Maude’s resources in Canterbury behind it. Now, more than a year later, Nurse Maude’s Homecare services have become an integral part of these regions, working with families, GP’s, healthcare and allied providers to provide the care people need to remain in their own homes and communities. A large part of that was being able to retain and attract those who live in the Nelson and Marlborough regions to manage, coordinate and provide that care, bringing invaluable local knowledge and a strong connection to the community in which they work. As our aged population continues to increase with some speed, these services and the responsive and innovative way in which Nurse Maude works will be essential in meeting that demand.

Staff Reporter Kathryn Furniss is looking forward to sharing a new style of work with visitors to this year’s Art Expo Nelson, being held this Friday to Sunday at the Trafalgar Centre. Her husband recently bought a water jet as a business purchase but Kathryn, a full-time painter for the last 19 years, thought she could make use of it as well. “I’ve got a new collection of metal sculptures, so the majority of work is going to be this new collection. The main reason I’ve ended up doing it, rather than creating paintings, is my husband bought a water jet and I thought, ‘hmm, access to fun stuff ’.” Kathryn likes the fact that she can show the collection all at once rather than a piece here and there, and says being at the show will also help with getting direct feedback from buyers. The metal wall sculptures are inspired by six native bird species tui, huia, kaka, saddleback, hihi and North Island kokako. She visited bird parks to photograph them all in person, except for the huia, which is extinct. “I love going out and stalking birds in bird parks. It makes you fall in love with them, they’re so beautiful and delicate and free, and I love the sounds they make.” She sees lots of positives to being an artist at Art Expo Nelson. “I’m excited because I haven’t been in any shows for a few years so it’ll be great to be back amongst it. You

meet lots of amazing public and it’s an opportunity to get that direct feedback from your buyers, which you don’t normally get if you only sell through a gallery. Plus, it’s nice to have that social connection with other artists. It’s definitely inspiring.” At this year’s Art Expo Nelson, there will be a chance for art lovers to decide the overall favourite, with a People’s Choice selected by popular vote. A selection panel will narrow it down to a handful of pieces first and then the public will choose the most favoured of one of those. The Trafalgar Centre doors open to the public from 10am every day this Friday, Saturday and Sunday (6-8 September). There will be over 1000 pieces of artworks for sale. Art Expo Nelson has received sponsorship funding for this year’s event from the Nelson Events Marketing & Development Programme, which is funded by the Nelson City Council. The programme’s objective is to stimulate Nelson city’s economy in the shoulder and off season.

Nelson Weekly Improv show tells saga of ‘Noslen’ elections Arts

Locally Owned and Operated

Staff Reporter The year is 2019 and the city of Noslen is gearing up for its biggest election yet. The only two elected councillors are locked in a battle to remain in power, the mayor is missing action, the IT guy would rather be playing in his band and the communications manager is busy manning the organisation’s only phone. Welcome to ‘City Council: The Improv Show’ where the inner workings of small-town New Zealand are laid bare. It is the latest serialised, and entirely made up, saga from the People’s Republic of Improv. “It’s election year so we thought it might be fun to play with what goes on behind closed doors,” says the group’s Laura Irish. Last year they put on ‘Wynasty’ which imagined Nelson as the site of a power struggle between rival wine tycoons, which the team says audiences really loved. “People like seeing a little bit of local on the stage,” says Daniel Allan, who is also in the troupe. “This is taking it to another

Photo: Charles Anderson. level.” Viewers will land in Noslen as they gear up for the elections and the region’s big event called “Me Wow” – a fashion parade for cats. “It’s bound to have high drama,” says Laura. The group are also inviting selected Nelson council candidates to have a fiveminute slot in their show to have a debate with the sitting councillors – Richard Gloom and Holly Sunshine - over “local” issues. It will also be the first time the group has performed in a new space – Studio One which is on

Rutherford Mews, off Hardy St and behind the Golden Bell Thai restaurant. Dan says the show plays every Friday in September and promises to be a great night out. “It’s Nelsons top improvisers with a that saga plays out each week – so the audience can follow along with the drama of the city of Noslen.” Laura says this not to be confused with the drama of the city of Nelson, which cannot be replicated. City Council: The Improv Show, 8pm starts this Friday, at Studio One, 1 Rutherford Mews off Hardy St. Tickets through Eventfinda.

Prices and Jacks play out epic final Jonty Dine

The epic rivalry that is Prices vs Jacks wrote another thrilling chapter in the storied saga on Saturday. The two top Nelson sides played out a scorcher in the premier final at Saxton Stadium. The defending champs survived a pulsating final two minutes as Prices Ahurei held on for the 36-35 win to go back to back. Despite an incredible performance from MVP, Jordan Webby, Prices’ young shooters nailed their shots under immense pressure in a lowscoring highly physical encounter. Winning captain Dayna Whiting says she was “over the moon” following the

final whistle. “When it comes to Jacks, we always expect it to be close and again it went down to the wire, you couldn’t ask for a better final.” Dayna credited her sides defence for getting them across the line. “Holly’s outstanding intercepts in that final quarter really kept us in it.” She says with two shooters fresh out of high school, the performed superbly under pressure. “For such a young team we managed to keep our cool and keep possession, can’t ask for better than what they did today.” Jacks OPD captain Jess Drummond was dejected to again go down in a nail biter.

“Pretty gutted, we definitely didn’t put out the performance we wanted to.” The stalwart centre says Prices simply took their chances. “They stayed composed and did what they needed to do to win it.” She says her side’s accuracy with

shots and passing cost them in the end. “Just the basics we didn’t do well today.” The sides traded goals throughout the first, with shooters taking what few opportunities they were given. The game was on a knife edge

throughout the four quarters with neither side able to take a substantial lead. Both teams had a chance to seal the victory but Jacks missed two crucial shots, allowing Prices to claim their fourth title in five years.

It’s been a memorable season for FC Nelson and the club’s historic run isn’t finished just yet. After locking the Division one and Price Charity trophies away for the summer, the side now has the chance to play for inclusion in the 2020 MPL. However, standing in its way is the high-flying Christchurch United. The two teams will play a home-and-away series starting in Nelson on September 14. Club stalwart and committee member Francis Miccio says they are under no illusions about the enormity of the challenge. “It’s a wonderful opportunity for the squad to test themselves against much better opposition and shows youngsters that FC Nelson aspires to play in a higher league.” Frances says the game will give players an idea of the level they will need to be to play Mainland football. “Christchurch won its local league by a canter, they went further in the Chatham Cup than any MPL team and they beat Nelson Suburbs, so it’s a difficult assignment.” Despite the outcome, Francis says the opportunity alone is massive. “This is a huge achievement for our club and it’s the icing on the cake on what was another very successful season at FC Nelson.” He says the club has seen improvements across the club from junior to senior sides, and will celebrate this come gameday. “We are going to have a big day, start with a brunch for members, and followed by an after-match function and senior prizegiving.” Though the odds are stacked against them, bigger sporting upsets have occurred. “Football’s a funny old game, anything can happen.”

Ricky’s fight to be world’s best Locally Owned and Operated

Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Ricky Esilva is one of the last men you would want to pick a fight with. However, having worked as a bouncer for several years, many drunken males have made the mistake of trying to take on the New Zealand Muay Thai champ. Needless to say, the altercations would always end the same way. Had these men known they were squaring up to a professional fighter, currently holding four New Zealand titles, they may have thought twice before taking a swing. Ricky has had broken bones, ruptured organs and undergone surgeries as he chases his dream of becoming one of the greatest fighters in the world. The 21-year-old was recently crowned WKA New Zealand heavyweight champion in Wellington on August 24, after defeating Navajo Stirling in the five round, 95kg bout. “Tricky Ricky” says, after a slow start to the fight, he found his mark in the later rounds. “It took me a while to wake up, but I managed to pull through the first two rounds, I got in some good

In the fourth we went to a clinch and I started to smash him with elbows, I managed to keep enough pressure on in the fifth to win.” He won the bout by split decision, two judges awarding all five rounds to Ricky. It was his fourth title win, after preciously claiming the WKAF, ISKA South Island, and NZMF championships. South African-born Ricky has

always liked to test himself against older opponents. He fought his first fight at 15 against a 19-year-old. Combat sports are in his blood and he started young, taking up karate at kindergarten. After moving to New Zealand, Ricky was unable to join a club so played rugby to satisfy his need for combat, but still longed to fight again. However, it wasn’t long before

Ricky discovered the Maui Muay Thai Gym in Nelson Just eight weeks after joining, Ricky was making his in-ring debut, picking up a win with a secondround knockout. He was hooked. Ricky undergoes a gruelling training regimen everyday which includes a 5am run and three hours in the gym every night. While not a street fighter, he has had to use his skills on the street while working as a bouncer.

“I’ve had a lot of drunk guys wanting to fight me,” he says. “I don’t want to hurt them, but if I have to I will.” Ricky says his dad came from a rough background and he learned how to defend himself. “He taught me a bit, we used to wrestle a lot with each other, His current record reads an impressive 22 fights, 18 wins and four losses, with six knockout wins. This success has come at a cost though as Ricky’s road has been paved with some gruesome injuries, one of which saw him sitting on the sidelines for two years. Ricky has also add broken foot, fractured his shin, suffered a broken nose, broken ribs, and undergone knee surgeries. But Ricky has also dished out his share of punishment. His most bloody bout came for the Oceania title where he inflicted a gash requiring 12 stitches to close. Ricky says elbows are his preferred method of striking and his most powerful weapon. Despite the injuries, the pain and the hours spent in the gym, Ricky remains clear on his goal. “I know what I want to be and, if I give up, my name won’t get out there. I want to be one of the best fighters in the world.”

Mako tame Bulls in New Plymouth

Jonty Dine and Peter Jones

It was a brutal and bruising encounter, but the Tasman Mako walked away from New Plymouth still unbeaten and with another five points. The Mako showed plenty of composure to break down the resolute Taranaki defence, scoring four tries in a hard fought 28-18 victory on Sunday afternoon. It was the Mako’s fourth successive win to kick off its Mitre 10 Cup campaign as they sit comfortably atop the premiership table. Tasman co-head coach Andrew Goodman said his side knew the home side were going to bring a physical approach to the table. “We could probably have adjusted a little earlier with our body height, but when we got that right we got some good goforward ball,zz and were able to exploit a bit of space.” Goodman felt the physicality of the match, and the way

they had dealt with it, would benefit the Mako going into their next match, against Counties Manukau, another team renowned for their robust approach, on Friday. A pair of pinpoint accurate kicks by the halves sparked the Mako’s first try, Finlay Christie’s box kick finding the arms of Leicester Faingaanuku before Mitch Hunt sent a cross to Tima Faingaanuku who was too strong close to the chalk. Sione Havili looked to have scored a second for the Mako but was denied due to a double movement, however the visitors went over moments later through Andrew Makalio on the back of a surging maul. With Taranaki racking up over a hundred tackles, the hosts’ defence began to wane and the Mako looked to pile on more points before the break. In a carbon copy of his first try, Faingaanuku was again the beneficiary of a deft Hunt crosskick as the Mako took an 18-6

halftime lead. A resurgent Taranaki side came out of the sheds firing with a superb try to reduce the lead to five. Though with the injection of Shannon Frizell and Jordan Taufua the Mako would soon score the bonus point in cheeky fashion. Following a sustained period of pressure, Christie sneaked the ball on the line from the base of a ruck. Taranaki wouldn’t lie down however, as All Black Waisake Naholo, who had been largely anonymous to this point, went over to make it a ten-point game with 15 to play. Both sides had opportunities to finish in style but couldn’t convert with the fiercely physical encounter ending in another Mako victory. Scorers: Tasman 28 (T. Faingaanuku 2, Makalio, Christie tries, Hunt 1 cons, 2 pens) Taranaki 18 (Boshier, Naholo tries, Waite 2 pens, 1 con)

Tennis clubs to serve love Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

A multisport athlete and a Nelson city councillor will square off this weekend in a battle of the racquets. The matchup, between Richard Ussher and Tim Skinner, will be part of a celebration of the sport in the region with the “Love Tennis” event set for this weekend. Richard is no stranger to fierce competition, having won the notoriously-gruelling Coast2Coast five times, while Tim is a keen footballer.

However, both men admit it’s been a number of years since they’ve picked up a racquet. The weekend will see eight tennis clubs across Nelson open their doors to serve up a fun, free event for people of all ages and abilities. Nelson Bays tennis Association regional coordinator Ali Telford says the event is for anyone, young or old, who would like to try out, or get back into tennis. The Love Tennis weekend will be held on Saturday, September 7 and Sunday, September 8 from 1-4pm. Players of all ages and experience are welcome.

Bowls: Eighteen-year-old Kaleb Johnston of the Stoke Bowling Club won the national final of the 42nd New Zealand Indoor Bowls Junior Singles for the second year running in Wellington on Saturday. It was twenty-six years ago that this was last done, way back in 1992 and 1993. Kaleb also made history last year by following in his father Mike’s footsteps to win the title, becoming the only father and son to do so. Mike won the title 41 years ago in 1978.

Dun Run proves test for course stalwarts Staff Reporter Paula Canning’s happy place when it comes to trail running events is The Dun Run and Saturday’s win added to her impressive outings into the “backwoods of Nelson”. With the course back to its original pathway after slip repairs above the Brook Sanctuary, 276 finishers ran along Nelson’s alpine mineral

belt and down the historic remains of the nation’s first railway line. Canning, the 2016 and 2017 winner was keen for another title but trailed Angela Leck until Third House. Once onto the downhill section the victory was all hers as she built up a handy two-minute margin by the Andrews Farm finish, clocking 2.09.48.

Patrick Higgins, first in 2017, returned to recapture his title with a time of 1.48.39. Auckland’s Matt Ogden finished in 1.51.18 with Nelson youngster Callum Wilkie chasing him on 1.54.09. The long course competitors began their 39.9km journey from Nelson city, running up the Maitai Valley 13km to then join

“the Originals”. Joel Bowater (2.59.44) and Klartje can Schie (3.38.20) repeated their 2018 victories in impressive style. Their times now will be etched in the record books forever as Nelson Events only plan to provide the Original Course Option in 2020 and beyond. Full results available at Nelsonevents.co.nz

Football: Marlborough and Nelson each have a hand on the Harris Cup after the first leg of the provincial showdown was drawn 2-2 at A & P Park on Saturday. The Harris Cup was last contested in a home-and-away series in 2008, when the trophy was claimed by Marlborough. In 2012 the first leg was played, but not the second, meaning the long-standing trophy, first contested in 1929, remains in Marlborough hands. A double for Brandon Pierie helped FC Nelson leave Blenheim with a draw. The next leg of the series will be played in Nelson this weekend.

Running: The Kaiteriteri Gold turns 30 on March 7 and Nelson Events have announced course changes to celebrate. The half marathon and iconic climb up the Sandy Bay Hill remains but it will be in a different direction. A beach start and along the Kaiteriteri/ Marahau Road is first up, then at the junction it’s upwards and to the saddle and welcoming wafts of the bagpiper. Into the forest and along the pine needle-laden road will be a new venture before respite and a welcome pick-me-up at the Split Apple Rock aid station. From there, it’s back to the beach and the golden sand finish, plus perhaps a refresher into the more than inviting sea. Gone is the 10km but in its place will be a bound-to-be-popular mixed terrain 14km course. Along Martin Farm Road provides an ample warmup before a MTB Park section up Ziggy, Corkscrew and onto the tops.

Ever since joining the 1st XV, Niko Barton envisioned himself kicking the winning points for Nelson College when practising shots at goal. On Saturday, this dream became reality when his side wrote their way into the history books. Niko nailed two difficult sideline conversions which proved the difference as Nelson College claimed a spot in the National Top Four, with a tense 28-26 win against Otago Boys’ High School in Dunedin. Niko kicked all four conversions and scored two tries in a brilliant 18-point, man-of the match performance. It was the second successive week Barton’s boot got Nelson over the line, his three penalty goals ensuring victory in the UC Championship final after his side was outscored five tries to four. The 18-year-old says the psychological challenge has been huge when kicking in these pressure cooker situations. “It’s been nerve wracking because of the big crowds, I just try to calm myself down, talk myself through what I have to do and shut out the noise.” Nelson had to dig deep in the final moments as Otago hammered away with the crowd right behind them. “It was pretty scary because we were defending for about ten minutes, up by two points so we knew any penalty would give them the game.” Though as they have done all season, the side showed plenty of composure and tenacity to survive the onslaught and earn a spot in

the country’s Top Four for the first time in the competition’s history. It was a similar story during the UC semi-final and Quadrangular final where Nelson was camped on its own line in the final stages with less than a seven-point lead. Niko credits the team culture for its ability to survive the intense pressure of finals footy. “We have great leaders like Anton (Segner) and Mason (Lund) - they just keep us focussed on our roles.” The pressure won’t relent yet as Nelson head to Palmerston North on Friday to play Kings College. “From what we’ve seen they are quite big so it will be a new challenge, but we will be up for it.” Niko says he has full confidence that his side can knock over the Auckland champions and go on to defeat the winners of Hastings Boys vs Hamilton Boys in the other semi-final to claim an inaugural national title. “It’s about more than just the rugby,” says Niko. “We play for each other.” No doubt if Nelson are to push the North Island juggernauts, Niko’s form with the boot will need to be on song.
