Nelson tops benefit payments

Sara Hollyman

The Nelson region has seen requests for benefit payments skyrocket over the Covid-19 lockdown period with an almost 500 percent increase on the same time last year.

The jump in “Job Seeker – Work Ready” grants represents the biggest of its kind in the country.

This time last year only 267 people claimed assistance, however, during the lockdown period 1586 claimed it – an increase of 496 percent.

The new report from the Ministry of Social Development shows that Top of the South workers, who have never had to claim any assistance before, made up the highest proportion of

those receiving a benefit during lockdown.

These were more likely to be first time beneficiaries, higher earners, recently returned from overseas, and Pakeha.

“These changes may reflect that this downturn is impacting a broader group of people than usual, with a greater cross section of society impacted,” the report

reads. “Nelson and Southern regions have historically had strong labour markets with relatively low benefit numbers.

These are also regions that have significant tourism sectors,” the report says.

Reasons recorded for the grants was especially pronounced for those returning to New Zealand but job loss was the main reason

Alexia Bowers says she always clickedbetter with animals than she has with people.

So perhaps it’s no surprise that the 15-year-old turned her energy into running her own non-profit animal rescue at her Rugby Bay home. And now her work has seen her receive the inaugural Te Tohu Maimoa award, from Companion Animals New Zealand, which recognises the work in helping such animals throughout the country.

The Little Animal Rescue officially opened in 2018, but Alexia had been saving animals since she was young.

She soon became known in her hometown as the girl who would take any injured animal into her care.

From chickens to hedgehogs, birds, rabbits, sheep, pigs and fish, all wildlife was welcome.

“I have always struggled socially and so having an animal with me has always helped, they are very therapeutic for me, they have rescued me instead of the other way around.”

Alexia was only eight-years-old when she started her crusade for animal rights.

“Take care of yourselves as you return to school. We are so proud of all of your efforts during lockdown.”

“Don’t stress too much about missed learning, our teachers are amazing and will support you to catch up and do the very best you can.”

“Welcome back. We missed you! Thank you for staying at home and staying safe.

We will work hard to fill any gaps in your learning.”

Saving creatures great and small FROM PAGE 1 “After researching, I connected the dots between the eggs in the supermarket and the chickens on battery farms, so I put a petition online to stop the practice.”

Her petition received more than 1000 signatures andformer Prime Minister John Key even replied to a letter she had written him.

Alexia’s campaign was successful, and legislation was passed for a minimum spacing requirement between farmed chickens.

Her journey since then has since seen her save thousands of animals and, in 2018,she set her sights on saving hens from slaughter.

“At 15-18 months old, they start laying a little less, so

they aren’t as useful, and you don’t make as much profit.”

Because of this, every three or four months, hens are simultaneously culled in the thousands and thrown into pits or made into dog meat.

This was a haunting reality for Alexia.

She began to contact farmers directly and request to take as many as possible.

Though the farmers did show an open mind, Alexia would need to pay $8 per chicken.

“It’s their livelihood, so I don’t judge them for that because it’s how they support their families. But if I was able to give the chickens a second chance I would.”

Using a horse float, Alexia was able to rescue 300 chickens at a time and rehome them.

Though rewarding, she admits that she can often suffer from compassion fatigue.

“It can get quite mentally exhausting because I’m going into the farms and seeing the chickens, I can get quite depressed and a bit angry so I try to space out my rescues so I can recover.

My chickens are my babies so seeing all the other ones suffer is hard.”

Alexia already has a level three qualification in animal management and is currently studying a certificate in animal management with a focus on captive wildlife course through Unitech.

Nelson tops benefit payments FROM PAGE 1

Ministry of Social Development figures show almost 6 per cent per cent of the Top of the South’s working population; those aged between 18 and 64, received a jobseeker support payment in April, an increase of 33.5 per cent compared to February.

Labour candidate Rachel Boyack says the economic situation is going to be tough globally for many months.

“The feedback I've had to date is that tourism and hospitality have been most affected. I am confident that the Nelson economy can survive this. We have talented people who can respond to difficulties and challenges in innovative ways.”

Nelson MP Nick Smith says the numbers show the scale of economic damage in Nelson and are consistent with the reports to him from dozens of businesses and hundreds of distressed families.

"This is a jobs crisis and more needs to be done

by Government to save as many jobs as possible."

Rachel says she encourages Nelson locals to shop and buy local, so that we can support our economy to recover and rebuild.

Landfill fees set to increase Locally Owned and Operated

Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

The cost of dumping rubbish is set to rise again, subject to confirmation through the annual plan.

During a Nelson City Council infrastructure committee meeting last Thursday, councillors voted nine to four in favour of an eight percent increase to solid waste charges at the Pascoe St transfer station.

This is made up of five percent to the York Valley landfill, and the re-tendering of the transfer station contract this financial year plus overall management costs will likely result in an anticipated three per cent increase.

The changes would be effective from 1 July, subject to the 2020/21 annual plan process.

Two new categories are being proposed, including shredded tyre waste at a charge of $170/ m3.

Currently, it is less expensive for commercial operators to take shredded tyres to the transfer station and dump as general refuse, than to pay for disposal of intact tyres at landfill.

This deprives council of approximately $15,000 income

Transfer station fees could be increasing from 1 July. Photo: Kate Russell. per year.

“We had a few people who were taking advantage of the fact we didn’t have that as a category and that was depriving council’s income because of the way they were disposing of tyres,” said manager of transport and solid waste, Marg Parfitt.

Also, in response to public requests, a new category for small bags of rubbish to be taken to the transfer station is being proposed. A bag of rubbish that is equivalent to a 65L blue bag or less will cost $4 to dump, with a maximum of three bags per transaction.

Although the majority supported the increase, others said they couldn’t support the move,

including Cr Gaile Noonan.

“Eight percent seems an awful lot, I just think it’s the wrong time, I would be happy to delay it. I know we’re going to revisit this but, on principle, I think it’s a huge increase and I can’t support it.”

However, committee chair Brian McGurk implied the rise is unavoidable, saying “it’s going to be painful but if we leave it any longer there is going to be greater pain.”

Cr Tim Skinner said the costs are “getting intolerable for Joe Bloggs, intolerable for businesses” but agreed “we've got to cover our costs.”

Mayor Rachel Reese also expressed her concern.

Nelson gets back to business in Alert Level 2 Jonty Dine Nelsonians made the most of Level 2 in the first days of lockdown being relaxed – flocking to shops across the CBD. Outlets are already adjusting to the new normal by staggering customers, contact tracing and carrying out intensive cleaning regimes.

When barber Kyle Crittenden got to work on the first day of Level 2, there was a line of 15 customers eagerly awaiting a haircut.

“It’s been stressful trying to figure out how to adjust to the new rules and keep it clean.”

Kyle says after initially planning to stick to their ‘walk ins only', they were quickly forced to switch to a queuing system with a doorman.

However, despite the added stress, Kyle says it’s great to be back and serving the community once again.

“A lot of them are very overdue for a trim.”

Stewart Reynolds was loving having his first haircut since the lockdown.

“Seven weeks is too long.”

Gyms also re-opened this week.

“We clean a lot anyway but have been doing a lot extra.”

Odette was encouraged with the number of people she has seen out exercising and hopes they continue this routine with lockdown lifted.

Owner of Page & Blackmore Booksellers, Jo Dippie, says she was delighted to be re-opening the doors of her Trafalgar St shop.

Jo says there will be a recovery

period following a backlog of orders.

“We’ve had no supplies for the past six weeks, so the shop is a bit depleted.”

After confirming to customers that they would re-open, one of the main concerns was how the shop’s dog ‘Nelson’ was faring.

“He’s been in total isolation, he hasn’t been able to play with his friends.”

Nelson’s housing market experienced one of the country’s biggest drops of residential property sales last month, despite it reaching a new record median house price.

The stats come as the Covid-19 lockdown made it difficult for property sales to occur.

According to this month’s Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ) data, Nelson had a record low 91.6 percent decrease in the number of houses sold from Apr 2019 to Apr 2020. However, it had a record high median house price, up 22.8 percent from Apr 2019 to Apr 2020 - up from $537,500 to $660,000.

Only Southland had a bigger percentage drop in number of houses sold in the country - with 92.1 percent, compared to 78.5 percent nationally.

Bindi Norwell, chief executive at REINZ says, despite the decrease in sales volumes, median house prices across New Zealand increased by 17.2 percent in April to a new record high of $680,000 - up from $580,000 in April 2019.

“Median prices during April were less volatile than we anticipated, especially with such a significant drop in sales volumes, with median prices for the country showing a 17.2 percent uplift on the same time last year to a record median high of $680,000.”

Back to school in Level 2 Nelson economy hit hard, says report Kate Russell

The last time the Balloch sisters were at school was eight weeks ago. The weather was warmer and Nelsonians were preparing to enter a lockdown never seen before in New Zealand.

So, it's safe to say that Piper, Danica and Greer were excited about heading back to Victory Primary and Nelson Intermediate Schools on Monday morning although the winter uniformshad to be dug out.

The Covid-19 school shutdown was longer than the Summer holidays, and, in that time, online learning became the new norm for students.

“It was hard to get out of bed this morning,” said11-year-old Piper.

“But I’m looking forward to seeing my friends and my teacher again.”

Although school is back in action this week, things will be working a bit differently than normal in Level 2.

"It's tempting to think that it'll be a return to normal, but it won't be," says principal of Wakefield School, Peter Verstappen.

Peter, who is also the Nelson Principals' Association president, says schools are going to have to be a lot more vigilant around health and hygiene.

“We need to be able to ensure families that they can send their children back to school safely. So, we are going to have to make sure our systems are well in place for contact tracing should it become necessary, for managing hygiene and health.”

He says remote learning had significantly strengthened his school's relationship with children's families, but teachers would not be able to go straight back into their usual routine.

"Although families have been truly heroic in maintaining learning over this period of time, we do notice that kids have fallen behind in progress and achievement," he said.

"We don't think it's huge, it's something that they will pick up again when they get back, but it will be like starting the year

again."

The majority on Nelson College for Girls students are back at school this week, bar a few that have not returned for medical reasons.

Principal Cathy Ewing said that the first day back started with a health and safety briefing for students.

“We’re looking for all of those clues as to how everybody is feeling and then reconnecting with learning gradually as we go.”

She says staff feel confident that they have put in place every possible step to ensure everyone is safe.

“But, I think there’s naturally some degree of anxiety for all of us, having been in our bubbles and only really recently beginning to actually be with lots more people.”

–With RNZ

The Nelson region’s economy will decrease by almost 8 percent, with 1 in 10 people losing their jobs, according to a new report into the local impacts of Covid-19.

The report is also forecasting unemployment to rise to 8.6 percent, with the hardest hit industries being transport, retail and accommodation. However, the region’s strong primary production and manufacturing sectors will improve the region’s resilience.

Project Kōkiri, the regional response collaboration to the pandemic, released the report on the anticipated economic impacts on the Nelson Tasman Region.

“Some of these forecasts make for sobering reading but it’s important we have an honest conversation about the significant economic fallout we are likely to face,” says Mark Rawson, chief executive of the Nelson Regional Development Agency.

The report is based on early forecasts based on a range of assumptions of the most likely outcomes for the different sectors of the Nelson Tasman economy over the year to March 2021.

Other key estimates from the report include: ◆ The highest number of job losses will be low-skilled and there will be a larger effect on Maori employment. ◆ Earnings across the region will decline by $280m. ◆ The hardest hit industries will be transport, retail and accommodation. ◆ The region’s strong primary production and manufacturing sectors will improve the region’s resilience.

The report also says there is an opportunity to build on the region’s strong lifestyle proposition as well as the importance of skills development and infrastructure construction in the recovery.

“This report confirms that the people of Nelson are hurting and there is no quick fix to the financial challenges ahead for the region,” Mark says.

Nelson Mayor Rachel Reese says now is the time to dig deep, and draw on that resilient spirit that saw this community cope so well with lockdown.

Chain art dream snaps to life Sara Hollyman Reporter

sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Say hello to “Lockdown” – an eight-foot crocodile made entirely out of 80 full-size waratah chains.

Waka Robb’s latest art creation might look like a nightmare to some, but for the passionate bushman it is a dream five weeks in the making.

It took Waka the entire lockdown to create the crocodile, hence his name, and was the latest project that came about after Waka’s lifelong love of working in the bush.

Waka has worked in forestry all his life and says, despite taking a short break while in Australia, it’s the job he will always come back to.

In his spare time, however, he is an avid artist. While he mainly worked with wood carvings, five years ago that all changed when his son gave him a welder.

He began creating garden art from old chains that were being dumped after their useful life in forestry machines.

“It’s unique because no one does it,” Waka says. “With my art, the way I see it, is you know what it is you’re looking at.

“The chains are my favourite to work with because I’m a bushman. I can’t get away from it

even when I’m not at work I love it, anything to do with the bush.”

He has created everything from spiders to shotguns and his latest creation took the entire lockdown to complete.

The croc can be dismantled into 15 smaller pieces to allow it to be moved.

Waka says he hopes that it will find a new home somewhere close to the water for Nelsonians to enjoy.

“Bushmen are unique people and you often get in situations where you have to think of others and outside the box, so I guess that’s how the idea to use the chains came about.”

Waka also recently gifted a replica of New Zealand’s oldest working chainsaw to his employer Mike Fraser, whose father owns the real life version.

He says it’s a dream to be able to create art full-time, but it would require more space than his small backyard.

“My daughters’ dream for me is to have a gallery or cafe to display my work, and for to someone pay to look at your stuff would be brilliant.”

For now, his home workshop will have to do, but will likely be too small for the next project on his wish list - an African Elephant.

Air New Zealand says Nelson will remain the airlines largest regional presence. Photo: File.

Air New Zealand confirms Nelson hub closure Staff Reporter Air New Zealand has confirmed that it will move its regional aircraft hub form Nelson to Christchurch, meaning a loss of 89 jobs.

The airline said that it had let staff know that the turboprop heavy maintenance work will start moving to Christchurch from mid to late 2020, with the transition taking between six and nine months.

A spokesperson said as a result of this, 89 roles in Nelson will be disestablished. Of these, 15 Q300 specialists are able to be redeployed to Christchurch.

"Demand for aircraft maintenance contract work has deteriorated, including in Nelson,” a spokesperson said. “Following consultation and a review of alternative feedback and options, there were considerations to increase maintenance demand in Nelson, however, due to runway constraints (being too short to allow Air New Zealand A320 and A321 aircraft) additional maintenance is unable to be relocated to Nelson."

The spokesperson said outside of the main centres, Nelson is and will remain Air New Zealand’s largest regional presence as one of its main passenger and cargo ports.

"The airline remains committed to the Nelson–Tasman region and looks

forward to supporting the return of domestic tourism to the region."

Nelson MP Nick Smith said he was “gutted” at the news.

“Nelson should not be the fall guy for Air New Zealand’s post Covid-19 problems. This heavy engineering workshop is efficient and well located for Air New Zealand’s regional fleet and should be retained for when aviation recovers. Air New Zealand has not given alternative plans for retaining the specialist turbo prop base here in Nelson proper consideration.

“I am disappointed at the Government’s silence on the loss of this industry to Nelson and the 100 jobs. The Government cannot say its top priority is job retention but then ignore the pleas for its $900m of support to Air New Zealand to be tagged to the retention of jobs and services to the regions."

A petition of over 16,000 signatures trying to save the hub was presented to Parliament last Wednesday.

“I am not giving up the fight for this important Nelson industry that has taken two decades to build. It is inevitable there will be some job losses with the downturn in aviation but I am determined that we leave the door open for this Nelson industry to recover in the longer term."

Originair resumes flights

Two grocery brands from the Top of the South have joined forces with 10 others around the country to donate more than $250,000 worth of products to front-line healthcare workers fighting Covid-19.

Annies - food you trust and Pic’s Peanut Butter have joined up with national brands such as Fonterra and the Organic Initiative, to create care packs for the workers.

The packs, which will be sent to hospitals right around New Zealand include essentials that can be easily consumed on-the-go, such as fruit bars, natural-energy and immunityboosters, along with hygiene essentials such as feminine care, toothpaste and toothbrushes.

“One of our core values is manaakitanga – which is about showing kindness and taking care of one another. In these unusual times, manaakitanga is more important than ever. That’s why it was such an easy decision to be part of the initiative,” says Bonnie Slade of Annies - food you trust, which is based in Nelson and Marlborough.

There is also a small selection of artwork by children who participated in the “Thinking of You” artwork challenge initiated by Grin Natural.

The challenge has been highly

Nelson airline Originair will resume its flight schedule from 29 May. The flights will take place on the Nelson–Palmerston North and Nelson– Wellington routes Originair CEO Robert Inglis says the schedule is almost identical to what was on offer prior to lockdown.

“We are offering four flights per day, on four days each week. We have ‘winterised’ the schedule slightly so that the last flights on each day arrive a little earlier as we know people like to get home earlier during the colder months.”

Robert says that the company is very grateful to its passengers for their support and understanding throughout the lockdown and to those who used Originair for charter flights to transport essential services personnel and goods.

He says, to acknowledge the communities in which the company operates and

NZ Food and Grocery Council chief executive Katherine Rich says our healthcare workers deserve all the support they can get at this time of uncertainty, and it’s great to see these companies stepping up to do their bit.

“Companies in our sector have a tradition of supporting the community at all times, but especially when things get tough, and it’s great they can continue that during Covid-19.”

One of the doctors working across the emergency department at Auckland Hospital, shares what the packs mean to the frontline staff.

“These are uniquely uncanny, unsettling times both professionally and personally,” says Dr Abhi Charukonda. “With the tragedies unfolding around the world, they bring with them an apprehension for safety - for ourselves, our loved ones, and our patients. To receive a piece of goodwill with kind words of appreciation has brought comfort into the chaos, and has served to bolster our spirit to face what we are experiencing and what is yet to come with courage and hope.”

They will, in turn, use the money to support its food banks in Nelson Tasman, Palmerston North and Wellington.

Pastor and Corps Officer for the Salvation Army in Nelson, Major Ken Smith, says that the donation will provide much-needed support at this time.

“Support such as this is greatly appreciated and will help immensely.”

Business Success Partners embrace online consulting Business Success Partners has a nationwide presence with Success Partners located in many centres, and in Nelson-Tasman region we are fortunate to have professional business consultants Richard Cheeseman and John Hopkins, who are dedicated to supporting SME businesses through these challenging times.

“Our normal Business Success Programme service focuses on working long term alongside a client as a Business Success Partner,” says Richard.

“We focus on helping clients realise how to achieve the potential they know is in their business, by working alongside them to bring changes into the business. This one on one service has been proven over many years across the country, but in the last 6 months we have been working on adding a group coaching model, to help smaller clients to achieve the same outcomes.”

With Covid-19, the team have had to move online, adding new tools and techniques to make this effective. “Online consulting can be just as effective as face to face,” says Richard.

“Especially if the right tools are used to help everyone contribute to

the discussion effectively.”

Moving online means less travel time, and meetings tend to be more focussed – making it easier to reach more clients in the same work time.

“As a result, we are able to help clients achieve better outcomes, for the same budget,” says Richard.

As part of the Covid-19 response, Business Success Partners have developed a Business Health Check, which enables clients to quickly understand where their business stands in these uncertain times.

“The Business Health Check service is focussed on helping owners know exactly what their risks are – and the opportunities they face – as a result of the rapidly changing economy.”

It helps clients make confident decisions to make the best of their present situation, improving cashflow and focussing on how to not just survive but thrive post Covid-19.

“In any economic crisis there are winners and losers” says Richard.

“Our service helps business owners to find the opportunities in the midst of the uncertainty and capitalise on them.”

Your Voice Air New Zealand confirms Nelson centre closure: My condolences to all the people and families affected by this decision. Hopefully you can find alternative employment and get to stay local. Supporting our alternative local airlines where possible is one way locals can make a stand.

Tracy Merry Sad day for Nelson, indeed. More collateral damage. Question - was this move always planned, or is it a result of the lockdown and coronavirus? Donna Wells It is extremely sad for Nelson. They are a great team of people.

Laura Rose Trueman Shame on you Air New Zealand - downsize yes, but closing the door on our region is not in line with the values I thought you stood by.

Vanessa Andrews How sad is this? Come on, keep those doors open. Pretty sad, Air New Zealand. Gail Hassell Very sad, but won’t miss the engine noise in the early hours of the morning.

bring the A320/321 fleet into the equation. If they were going to overhaul those here, they'd have had to close either the Auckland or Christchurch jet maintenance base - and that was never going to happen. Seems to me Air New Zealand has fallen into the neoliberalist trap of looking only two to three years ahead, rather than long term planning for 2025 onwards. Dennis Goodman I had hoped Air New Zealand would have a change of heart.

Nelson Matters Big spending and even bigger borrowing is the Government’s prescription in Budget 2020 to the economic challenges of Covid-19. My concern is the scale of debt proposed, the questionable quality of spending and the lack of a plan to rebuild the economy and jobs.

The Government is budgeting on deficits of nearly $30 billion per year or $16,000 per household for the next three years.

The borrowing continues for eight years until 2028 and totals $140 billion. That is $80,000 per household. Little of the spending is capital or building new assets. It has the Government total nett worth decline from $143

billion to just $33 billion. It has Government running up debt to 90% of the value of all our public assets like roads, schools, hospitals etc. I doubt many Nelson families would feel comfortable pushing their mortgage up to 90% of the value of their home but that is what the Government is effectively proposing.

I find this level of debt scary and too large. It leaves no room for managing any other shock for the next decade. Debt is easy to rack up and hard to pay off. I am the only remaining MP from the early 1990s when we climbed out of a similar sized mountain of debt. It was a painful period that no New Zealander should

want to repeat.

The Government should run deficits to maintain our core public services and benefits through these difficult times just as National did through the Christchurch earthquakes. My problem is with the huge slush funds that look more like electioneering than wise spending.

The $100 million for racing and gambling is an indulgence for Winston Peters. So too is the extra $500 million funding for the Provincial Growth Fund. There is so much cash pouring out of the Beehive that wasteful spending is inevitable. The thinking is that spending is the answer to every problem and the big-

ger the problem, the more that should be spent.

My greatest disappointment is the lack of a plan for jobs in the Budget. The announcement of the closure of Nelson’s regional facility for turbo prop aircraft occurred while Parliament debated the budget. Not one Government MP or Minister from Labour, NZ First or the Greens spoke in its support. The Government owns a 52% majority shareholding in Air NZ and is providing $900 million in financial support. Aviation will recover and this Nelson base should have been supported for the long term. The latest economic reports shows 5,000 Nelsonians

losing their jobs with closures of this sort. The Budget should have been focused on how to protect as many of these jobs as possible.

Nelson needed more from this Budget that what economic commentators have called borrow and hope. National is best able to rebuild the economy. We have the strong track record of having done so in the 1990s and 2010s.

The urgent focus of my work is developing an alternate economic plan focused on jobs and working with the private sector to rebuild Nelson and New Zealand’s economy.

Rappers turn bullies into fans

MoRE than just gooD CoFFEE anD FooD

Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

A local rap duo who were bullied for their music have used the hate they received as the source of inspiration for their latest album.

Seamus Copland Malone aka MC Culprit and brother Thomas, aka Kid T, managed to turn some of their biggest detractors into fans after dropping their most recent work.

Seamus says when he first began to rap people did not take his seriously.

“They thought it was a gimmick.”

After releasing their first album, critics called the pair ‘trash’ and ‘a joke.’

“People were not that nice too us but it motivated us to try harder and prove them wrong.”

However, their latest work has prompted some of those very haters to dub the pair as one of the best and most underrated underground rappers in the country.

“We have had some really good feedback and a lot of those ones that used to not like us have now become our top fans.”

The five song EP, appropriately titled ‘Doubted,’ has already accumulated 24,000 plays in just under a month.

The 17-year-old says he and his brother mixed and mastered the album in three weeks during the national lockdown.

Seamus says it fuses a range of styles with some old and new school vibes and hardcore gangsta sound contrasted with some melodic story-telling.

“We write songs that inspire and relate with the current teens, we talk about the hard times in trying to make it in the music scene and the hate brought towards not only ourselves but all people doing something new and unheard of.”

Seamus admits he wasn’t the strongest rapper when he started

His music career started in the school band playing guitar, but he says he soon got bored of the classical style and started listening to rappers like Tupac and Eminem.

They are already back in their home studio producing their next album which will include a feature with Lil Nix, a rapper with over three million streams on his latest hit “Corona Virus”.

As well as the old school rappers, Seamus also draws inspiration from the likes of Kendrick Lamar and Pop Smoke.

He says it is a dream of theirs to make an impact on New Zealand’s music scene and hopefully perform at Bay Dreams one day.

Covid-19 shows flaws with city’s recycling system Matt McCrorie Environmental consultant Karen Driver says that Covid-19 has revealed that our local recycling systems are broken.

Councils around the country, including the Nelson City Council, had to suspend recycling services throughout Alert Levels 3 and 4. While kerbside collection was consistent, most recycles, excluding glass, were

sent to landfill because of the lack of fully-automated sorting facilities.

Karen, from Envision, says she understands the safety concerns around closing facilities, but thinks time for a more robust system that fosters greater collaboration between councils and the community.

“I think our systems are broken.

The fact that we couldn’t process recycling because of Covid-19

shows that. We need a system that is more resilient. We live in a country that is always going to have emergencies of some kind.

“We can’t, at every crisis say, ‘oh, we can’t handle that, we’ll dump it into a big hole.’ It’s not practical at all.”

She says with most of our recycling going into the ground over the last seven weeks, now is as good a time as any to rethink how we handle waste.

Karen Driver, of Envision New Zealand, says that the Covid crisis has exposed the flaws in our recycling system. Photo: Matt McCrorie.

“It’s a good opportunity for people, those who have continued to put stuff in recycling but know that it was going to go to landfill, hopefully that gives people a feel for how much is being generated.”

Karen says the recycling is only better by a degree than landfill, anyway.

“There is far too much focus on recycling, nationally. Ultimately there needs to be a re-focus on avoiding and reducing waste, away from recycling.”

Type 1, 2 and 5 plastics are the highest quality. The other plastics are low grade and are generally sent

offshore for processing into products that are inferior to the original product - called downcycling.

“Type 1 plastics you can recycle again into new milk bottles and meat trays, it’s good quality plastic. But as you get to the lower grade plastics, they are usually downcycling with each use, they lose their value and structure.

“It works its way out of the system.”

A lot of the push for reducing waste is on consumers, and they need to be careful with what they buy, but Karen says that the system needs to change.

“Bad packaging shouldn’t be allowed to happen.”

Karen also thinks that there should be more of a focus on dealing with our recycling in New Zealand rather than shipping it offshore.

“I’m keen to see greater collaboration between councils and the community to support a focus on avoiding and reducing our waste,” she says.

“Councils can’t do it all and there are many within our community who already drive waste avoidance and reduction and need support, and many others who are keen to be involved.”

It has been 20 years since Simon and Kylie Collett first set up Jennian Homes Nelson Bays, so to mark this amazing milestone, a special function was held in February this year at the Nelson Yacht Club. “Key subcontractors who have been with us for 20 years, along with our staff members, key clients, and various local identities, were invited to join us for an evening of celebration,” says General Manager, Mark Smale. Born and raised in Nelson, after leaving Waimea College, Simon Collett attended Nelson Polytechnic, where he completed a carpentry course, then soon found employment as an apprentice builder with a local company. Upon completion of his apprenticeship, Simon founded his own business called ‘SC Builders Ltd,’ which he built up, achieving 20 new homes per annum. Simon and Kylie then joined the Jennian group later in 2000 becoming Jennian Homes Nelson Bays Ltd. The business has been a great success and their Nelson Bays Jennian Homes franchise has won the most franchise awards in Jennian’s 35+ year history. In 2002, Jennian Homes

Over that time, over 5000 women have run that event in Nelson which has been all about heart health which we have promoted locally and nationally.” Mark says in becoming a very successful company, Jennian have always tried to give back to the community – this has been the focus of their 20th anniversary celebrations.

Another fundraising initiative Jennian has been involved with is the AED programme. “We have subsidized 120 AEDS (defibrillators) in the NelsonTasman region in recent years.”

Jennian also sponsors a variety of different sports including hockey, netball, tennis, and rugby.

The mood was upbeat, but there was cautious optimism about how the Nelson economy was fairing and underlying concern for local businesses and how they were coping in the wake of Covid-19. Personally, I have been impressed by the attitude of many locals who are making a concerted effort to buy local products whether they order them online or visit a physical store. It’s hugely satisfying knowing that when we ‘buy local,’ we are supporting our fellow Nelsonians and their families.

The report projects the likely outcomes for across a range of different business sectors of our local economy to March 2021, and it is expected to decline by 7.9

Mayor Rachel Reese says the report shows there will be a significant impact to our economy, however it highlights the fact that

we have a lot of advantages in our region that puts us in a good place to recover.

“Everyone needs to work together and require a collective approach and combined effort from the community, central and local government and the private sector.” Mayor Reese says supporting local business and local industry will be important.

Shop local, use local services

Since we moved into Covid alert level two last week, it’s been great to hear the hum of traffic again and see lots of smiling locals and regional visitors enjoying a renewed sense of freedom – the chance to browse in shops again, have catch-ups over coffee, get a haircut, have our nails done or dine out at our favourite restaurants. People are still being urged to ‘play it safe,’ and respect government guidelines around social distancing and businesses are being careful to operate safely, according to level two rules. When I was in town recently, there were some light-hearted conversations around how things went in each other’s lockdown bubbles. Tales of dreadful home haircuts; of endless cycles of baking (if you could find flour anywhere) and eating; of binge-watching Netflix for days; of beautiful (although somewhat repetitive) walks around the block, or jogging in

So, there is no better time than now to buy local products and use local services! If there’s something you’ve been putting off – book it now and you will help our region get through this testing time. With winter looming, it’s important to clean out our gutters, prune our trees and have a general tidy-up outside so why not call a local property maintenance company for help? Are rodents or cockroaches becoming a problem at your place? Don’t put it off – phone a local pest control specialist. You will be so glad you

Need a mortgage? Why not consider using a local mortgage broker with financial expertise, who can negotiate the best lending deal on your behalf. If it’s tax advice you’re need, talk to your local accountant. Looking for somewhere nice to eat out?

There’s hundreds of fabulous cafés and restaurants throughout the Nelson region, so why not book a table today? If you wanting to purchase a gift for someone special, think about buying locally-made natural skincare products, or handmade soaps or other lovely gifts from a local business.

Sports competitions came to a grinding halt in late March due to the coronavirus pandemic and there is still a lot of uncertainty surrounding when games will restart.

The situation is ever evolving however as it stands sport is slowly looking to get back underway with a phase system to ensure player safety. Phase 1 means “Prepare to Train”. Phase 2 means “Prepare to Play” and Phase 3 means “Play”.

Rugby Our country’s primary sport is in its first phase for the return of the community game.

Rugby clubs around the country have started a threestage approach to getting back on the grass with training potentially beginning later this month.

As it stands, no organised rugby training or match activity will occur during phase one.

Teams can begin pre-season training (including contact training) within NZR’s guidelines

Community sport is in a preparation phase as it looks to get back in action. Photo: Barry Whitnall/ Shuttersport (File). and recommendations under phase two.

This is expected to be a four-week period.

Pre-season matches may be played in the final week prior to Phase 3.

An announcement from New Zealand Rugby (NZR) followed the Government’s confirmation that community sport can resume with certain hygiene and distancing measures in place during Alert Level 2.

If restrictions on mass gatherings

are relaxed from 25 May, competition fixtures can begin from 20 June.

Training groups cannot be larger than 10, including coaches, support staff and referees, and that appropriate contact tracing, hygiene and sanitation measures must be put in place.

Contact tracing must be in place for everyone involved in, or attending, any training session.

Football Training resumed at all levels of football across New Zealand on Saturday, however, no competitions can begin before May 30.

Leicester Faingaanuku, Rugby.

Young Crusaders wing Leicester Faingaanuku was making a big impression during his debut Super Rugby season before the outbreak of Covid-19.

Leicester has already had some

practice with self-isolation after his team returned from Australia following its clash with the Sunwolves.

With games postponed until June 13, Leicester says he has already started to get ‘itchy feet.’

He says he is fortunate to be in the care of fantastic staff at the Crusaders who have put a new training rein place for him.

Leicester does say it has been an adjustment without his teammates.

“The difference is we are all on our own with our own equipment so it’s selfmotivation, but I know none of the boys will struggle with that.”

With no access to fields or gyms, the Nelson College product will be confined to working out at his home gymbut is already yearning for the roar of the crowd.

“You get an adrenaline rush from playing in front of people, but we are in the same boat.”

Anton Segner, Rugby.

German rugby prodigy Anton Segner is almost 20,000km from his family.

The highly regarded flanker is used to being far from home having left Germany as a 16-year-old, but with the uncertainty of future travel, he is feeling the distance.

“The biggest challenge has been not being able to be with my family during these unusual times, but what has really helped is just keeping in touch with them a lot more via Zoom, FaceTime and other platforms.”

Anton is living with former Nelson College teammate Fergus Hughes and the pair created a home gym with equipment loaned to him by the Crusaders academy.

“I’m still doing my gym training 3-4 times a week and fitness training such as going for a run, sprints or bike rides.”

Connor raring to get back to footy Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Connor Higgins is feeling fitter than ever thanks to the extra time he had to work out in lockdown.

However, the hard-hitting flanker admits he is missing the physicality of the game.

“A tackling bag just isn’t the same.”

Connor has resumed his work as a glazier at Design Windows but is itching to get back to his role on the footy field.

Clubs have yet to begin training in level two with competitions unlikely to get back underway until mid-June.

Despite this, Connor has maintained his motivation and fitness levels throughout the seven-week lockdown period.

“I was lucky to get some weights from Tasman Performance, so it was good to have that sorted.”

He was also able to benefit from living in the vicinity of his club’s home ground Neale Park.

“I managed to get to the park about three times a week, tried to stay on top of fitness and not get lazy.”

Connor says not training not with the team has been the hardest aspect.

“Not getting those skills in or doing lineouts and scrums has been hard.”

Nelson lost its first game of the y rl d a E ir ls b ia Ec sp

Tasman Trophy against a strong Wanderers’ outfit.

The 22-year-old former Nelson College product says should they return to the field, they can ill-afford any more losses.

Connor says with a full complement, they will be a hard team to beat.

“We have got a good bunch of guys, some physical and mobile forwards and some skillful backs.”

He accepts it will take some time to completely regain match fitness.

“We were four games in, and the body was starting to get back to 100percent, not being too sore the next day so it will be like doing pre-season again.”

28.6.58 - 23.5.19 The tears roll down my face, Each one is a memory of you, Within my grief and despair, I wonder what I’m going to do I have to wait for my time Til I can be with you again In the meantime my heart keeps on breaking And all I’m feeling is pain.

But when the tears dry up on my face And I’m shattered and needing to sleep I’ll wish for a dream of you Bear, One more for my memory to keep.

All my love always, your lady Shaz HHCFFHHC
