Matt for mayor? Councillor vies for top spot KATE RUSSELL The Nelson mayoralty race has increased to three with thirdterm city councillor Matt Lawrey announcing he will have a shot at leading the city.

Matt confirmed today that he would be running for mayor in the upcoming October election but he will not be putting his hand up for a councillor position

as well.

Matt joins fellow councillor Rohan O’Neill-Stevens and ex-councillor Kerry Neal who have both confirmed they will be throwing their hat in the mayoral ring. Incumbent mayor Rachel Reese has announced she will not run again after nine years in the position.

Matt says his goal will be to lead a more unified council that gets better results in four critical ar-

eas, including housing, transport, urban design, and the environment.

He says resetting ‘council culture’, making public transport free for some groups, and building on our existing walking and cycling network - including lighting the Railway Reserve - will be some of his top priorities.

He wants to explore the potential for medium-rise housing devel-

opments in the council’s central city squares while retaining the ground level for public parking, as well as increase the council’s collaboration with Kāinga Ora and community housing providers to create more affordable homes.

Also at the top of his list is ensuring Waka Kotahi delivers on its plan for transport across the city, continuing to work with iwi

to improve council’s relationship with tangata whenua, and improving the health of the Maitai River and recreational opportunities by replacing single species clear-cut forestry on council reserves with an environmentallysustainable mix of plantings.

Future of marina to be decided A draft plan for the future vision of Nelson Marina, which includes a reconfigured boat ramp, new sea sports facility and new space for café and food and beverage outlets will go out for public consultation next week.

The draft masterplan is a 15-year vision

to turn Nelson Marina into a boating hub, which incorporates the modernisation of facilities for boat owners and improved links to the city centre to encourage public access.

The plan was recommended to go out for consultation at the Nelson City Coun-

cil strategic development and property subcommittee meeting on June 9.

Committee chair Gaile Noonan says the plan aims to create a thriving boating hub that will stimulate growth and activity within Nelson’s local economy.

“There is so much potential at our

marina, and this masterplan aims to release it. The benefits to Nelson as a city are straightforward, a stronger connection between our city centre and the sea, a new space open to everyone

“My idea would be to block off Trafalgar Street in that half of Halifax and do the library where it is. A walkable plaza at the end of Trafalgar.”

“It needs a bit of updating. With regards to the city council, I don’t think we need to spend an awful lot of money on a new library.”

“Just get on with it and rebuild it, with some sort of architectural merit. Do something really outstanding.”

“I’m not familiar enough to bother, it was always a good place to find a toilet.”

Future of marina to be decided FROM PAGE 1 in our community, and at its heart a modern facility for boaties that offers everything they would expect to see at a state-of-the-art marina.”

The plan, which was produced after consultation with key stakeholders, contains a raft of new initiatives for the marina over a 10-15 year period, including a new waterfront promenade for walking and cycling, a revitalised pocket park, new premises for a café and other food and beverage outlets and a potential new sea sports facility for clubs using

non-powered vessels.

There are other improvements to boating infrastructure proposed including a dedicated fuel pier, a reconfiguration of the public boat ramp area to reduce congestion, a future-proofed and nationally competitive marina hardstand, a new boat hoist and long-term plans for a dry stack to provide efficient on-land storage.

Matt for Mayor? Councillor third to put hand up for top job FROM PAGE 1 the potential to be so much better,” says Matt, who lives in Victory with his wife and two teenage sons.

“Committing to these progressive steps forward will benefit all Nelsonians while responding to climate change.

“They will also help us to reduce traffic congestion and deliver a more liveable and prosperous city.”

Matt, a keen volunteer who held a career in broadcasting and journalism before first running for council in 2013, says he offers voters a positive attitude, experienced and effective leadership, strong communication skills, life experience, and a deep connection to the city and its people built over 25 years of community engagement.

sis.

“For the city to deal with these and other issues, it’s going to need a mayor who can keep their head up, keep people’s spirits up, and remain focused on outcomes rather than problems.”

Some of Nelson’s other current councillors have also made their intentions clear on their plans for the upcoming election.

Cr Rachel Sanson has announced she will be seeking her second term on council, while Cr Kate Fulton has said she will be stepping down after 12 years.

Deputy mayor Judene Edgar says she is still “considering her options” for council but has ruled out running for mayor.

Cr Pete Rainey told the Nelson Weekly he was yet to make a decision, while the remaining elected members did not respond to a request for comment.

Government funding for local tourism set to end MAX FRETHEY The Nelson Regional Development Agency (NRDA) will stop receiving funding from government for its Destination Management Plan (DMP) from 2023.

The Government requested the five-year plans from regional tourism organisations (RTOs) around the country to help them facilitate a shift towards sustainability in the visitor market. NRDA chief executive Fiona Wilson says she understood the NRDA would receive funding for two years of its plan post-development, with the agency aiming to use the second year of funding for 2023. The first year of NRDA’s plan used the funding to develop several initiatives including marketing campaigns and the promotion of environmental projects.

“The funding for the plans was absolutely, fantastically welcomed,” Fiona says.

“We could no longer, at that time, seek industry partnership funding.”

Government first gave the funding to a sector struggling with the Covid-19 pandemic, but with the second Omicron wave complicating the indus-

“We were very disappointed that there was no second year of delivery programme funding. That funding has paused and stopped just when the plans are getting traction.”

But despite no longer receiving government funding, she says the plan will continue to guide the NRDA’s approach to the visitor economy, though it will have to be scaled down.

Nelson Tasman is not alone as the end to funding has affected all RTOs across the country.

Lisa Bond from Destination Kaikōura says they are thankful for the funding they have received but hoped they

would receive more in the future.

“We were hopeful that they would see there is further need,” she says.

Kaiteriteri Recreation Reserve chief executive David Ross was a stakeholder in the NRDA’s reference group for their DMP. He thought the group was productive and wishes all the goals in the plan could have been reached.

“I was surprised,” he says. “It’s disappointing that it’s been made a little bit more challenging.” However, David also acknowledges that he wasn’t party to the Government’s decision-making process and couldn’t comment on whether he thought it was appropriate.

Nelson library closed indefinitely SARA HOLLYMAN Nelson’s Elma Turner Library has been closed following a safety inspection of its ceiling tiles.

A Nelson City Council spokesperson says an inspection was carried out last week which identified safety risks in the ceiling tiles, which makes it unsafe for people to be in the building.

The library will be closed temporarily, but possibly for at least two to three months depending on when interim work to stabilise the ceiling can take place.

The tiles were found to be heavier than first thought, weighing between eight and 11kgs. Ceiling tiles weighing more than 7.5kg are deemed ‘heavy tiles’ and are considered to pose an earthquake risk if not properly restrained.

The inspection also found that the ceiling tiles are in a two-way

grid, fixed at the perimeter to partitions and walls, but with no visible diagonal bracing.

Council had already identified a risk with the ceiling tiles and set aside funding of $200,000 in this financial year (2021/22) for remediation work. This work has not been completStarts Saturday ed yet due to McShane Road, Richmond staff shortages,

and an issue identified with the tiles being used for heating purposes, but will now take place with urgency.

The next step is for engineers to produce a report detailing the expected relative risks of the ceiling tiles and the NBS (New Building Standards) ratings for the ceilings, including whether the ceiling is considered to be a significant life safety hazard.

Council will also prioritise investigating whether it is possible for an interim securing of areas to address the hazard. This work has already been undertaken in parts of Civic House, where galvanised

aluminium channels have been attached to brace the tiles, but it is unclear at this stage whether this will be appropriate for Elma Turner Library.

Chief executive Pat Dougherty says, even though legislative obligations did not require closure, the new information about the weight of the tiles was very concerning, particularly when combined with the vulnerability of library users – such as older adults and children – and a lack of furniture that can offer protection in the event of a major earthquake “Closing a much-loved community facility, even temporarily, is

not an easy decision, but on the basis of what we know so far, we are not prepared to accept the level of risk the ceiling tiles at Elma Turner Library present to our community. Unfortunately, the library needs to be closed as a precaution while we learn more about the risk and what we can do to mitigate it.”

In terms of library services, Council staff are looking at options that could include expanding online library services and increasing hours at other branches (Stoke and Nightingale libraries) as well as considering the potential of opening a pop-up library in the Central City.

Library Manager Sarina Barron says as well as being difficult for customers, the closure will also be hard on staff.

“Library staff thrive on the interaction they have with the public, but at least the Covid-19 lockdowns have provided us with some valuable experience in how to operate differently and provide many of our services remotely.

We ask that our community bear with us as we once again change the way we operate.”

Community and recreation committee chair Tim Skinner says he recognises the inconvenience caused to the public, but the decision to close Elma Turner Library was the right call in terms of safety.

Manager stole more than $2.5k from employer over two months TRACY NEAL

Open Justice Reporter

A manager who stole more than $2000 from his employer has managed to keep his name secret for now, because of a “host of mental health” matters.

The 51-year-old was today convicted on a theft charge, related to 98 separate transactions in which he took money from the sale of alco-

hol from the business where he worked.

The man, dressed in a suit and tie, admitted the charge in the Nelson District Court today, which heard how he had taken the money while working as a duty manager for the business from January 6 until February 26 this year.

Police prosecution said each transaction was caught on CCTV, which showed the

man who each time he received cash for alcohol purchases, placed money in and around the cash register, and did not enter the purchase into the system.

He eventually handed himself in, when the tally of money he took from each sale reached $2520. His lawyer Steven Zindel argued that interim name suppression was warranted due to the man’s mental health issues, which

were a culmination of events over the past two years.

Judge Tony Zohrab convicted the man and remanded him on bail for sentence in August, with an order that more material was to be filed if suppression was to continue.

Shirtless man vandalises cars

A shirtless man smashed wing mirrors on several cars on Nayland Road in Stoke on Saturday. One driver who saw the incident says she was worried the man was going to jump on to her windscreen.

“He had his top off and was running straight at my car, but then he just hit my mirror, smashing glass everywhere.” As she drove further up the road, she saw all the parked cars had suffered the same fate with a sea of broken glass on the road. Police say they are aware of the incident after receiving several calls from the public.

Snow for Rainbow

About 125 people braved the wet weather to rally against the Government’s proposed Three Waters reform on Sunday.

Nelsonians rally against Three Waters MAX FRETHEY Around 125 people rallied in Nelson Sunday afternoon to demonstrate against the Government’s proposed Three Waters reform.

The demonstrators view the Government’s proposal as unjust, undemocratic, illegal, and would add extra bureaucracy and costs where none were wanted.Under the Government’s proposed reforms, the three main types of water infrastructure which are currently generally managed by local councils – storm water, drinking

water, and wastewater – will become the responsibility of four large regional entities.

“Councils up and down the country have a mixed performance in terms of maintaining and investing in water structure,” New Zealand Taxpayers’ Union member Louis Houlbrooke says.

“But the thing about local accountability is that the council is they’re not just the devil you know, they’re the devil you can vote out if you need to.”

The Top of the South’s water will be managed by the organisation that will also

oversee Wellington and the east coast of the North Island.

“Which means if you have issues with your water services you’ll be dealing with an office in Wellington, or even in the Hawke’s Bay,” Louis says.

The demonstrators, who rallied despite the wet weather, believe that the three waters are best left managed by the local communities who funded and built the infrastructure in the first place.

“Our assets have an insured value of over a billion dollars. They have a replace-

ment value of between a billion and two billion,” Nelson Citizens Alliance member Dr Henry Hudson says.

“That’s what we’re handing over.”

Nelson City councillor Tim Skinner believes that it’s important for Nelson to continue to manage its own water given the council’s good track record.

“That is our most important asset, that is a third of what we do,” he says “We do some things very well, and somethings very poorly. I think, for Nelson, we generally look after our water well.”

Rainbow Ski Field woke up to well over 1 metre of snow at the base with even more up the top of the slopes at the weekend. The team were busy packing it down and digging out, showing a promising start to the winter season. With so much snow, there is substantial avalanche risk so the road up to the field is not passable. “The gate at the bottom is locked for good reason, so please do not try and get up here,” says mountain manager Thomas Harry.

“Winter is off to a flying start.”

Helping locals save pennies on their pantry JENNY NICHOLSON Sophie Gray spends more than $2,000 a week at the supermarket so is conscious of shopping as economically as she can.

That’s just part of her day job working for a food bank.

She says she spends a lot of time in supermarkets and is very aware of the prices of various items. Years before she worked at the charity she formed Destitute Gourmet, a company which helps people make fashionable food that doesn’t cost a fortune.

Sophie is coming to Rich-

mond for an evening to share recipes and ideas for making memorable food without breaking the budget.

“It’s about making a little of the luxurious go a long way,” she says. “Making the best of what you have in the cupboard, being conscious of what the hero ingredient is and what padding you can get away with.”

During the first week of lockdown in 2020, Sophie was made redundant from her full-time job working at a food magazine. “In a seven-minute call over Zoom I lost my job along with over 200 others.”

At that point she focused on Destitute Gourmet which encourages creative use of what is already in the pantry.

Between April 2021 and April 2022 food prices have risen 6.4 per cent, according to Stats New Zealand.

“Kiwi households are struggling to get a dollar out of 50 cents,” Sophie says.

“People are thinking they can’t buy what they use to at the supermarket and still afford tyres for the car or the mortgage repayment.”

During a Destitute Gourmet class, Sophie makes food while giving tips on using

what you have to make delicious meals.

“It’s not just about recipes, it’s about transferrable techniques.”

She says it’s easy to make something delicious out of the best ingredients, but the challenge is making something delicious out of the third lot of mince you have had in six days, or the other half of the pumpkin when you can’t stomach soup again.

“Seasons and spices cost about 23 to 27 cents for a teaspoon.

Even with six or seven spices, that makes for a cheap meal with lots of flavour.”

Local refugees’ families living in ‘nightmare’ conditions MAX FRETHEY

Looking for the perfect gift?

Ask us about our Gift Cards!

Burmese refugees in Nelson are pleading for support for their families and other refugees who are trapped and displaced in war-torn Myanmar.

In February 2021, the Burmese military launched a coup d’état in Myanmar (Burma) and overthrew the democratically-elected government.

Several armed militia groups in the country have since joined forces and begun fighting the military, which has seen the country slide into civil war.

Thantlang is a town in the western Chin State of Myanmar. It became a hub of resistance against the military.

Much of the town was razed when it was bombarded by the military and the majority of Thantlang’s 10,000 residents fled from the violence.

They now live in displacement camps on both sides of the Burmese-Indian border.

Sue Leya, Van Lawm, and Azi Chan are three Chin refugees from Myanmar who have all lived in New Zealand for at least 15 years.

Sue and Van are from Thantlang while Azi is from the nearby village of Zephai.

Sue’s brother and his wife, Van’s parents and sister, and Azi’s parents, brother and sister, and her uncle’s family, are currently displaced and living in the camps.

“We can’t imagine how difficult it is for our parents living in the country at the moment,” Van says.

Sue visited some of the camps in March.

“They have a problem with water,” she says. ““The children have no proper educa-

Azi Chan and Sue Leya desperately want more support for their families and other refugees who are living in terrible conditions in Myanmar because of the civil war there. Photo: Max Frethey. tion; it’s been nearly two years that they haven’t studied.”

Disease also spreads easily.

Azi’s aunt died from Covid-19 in one of the displacement camps.

“There is no medication, even Panadol,” she says.

The presence of the military makes it unsafe for people to return home.

Van says that many innocent people are executed by the military because they’re suspected to be part of resistance groups.

“My cousin’s sister’s son was killed by the military government.”

It was incredibly difficult for Sue to see the conditions that her family, along with thousands of others, are living in.

“My heart is crying to see that,” Sue says. “This is a nightmare, but we have to be strong. We are fighting.”

Sue, Van, and Azi are all sending money to their relatives in Myanmar, but they also have responsibilities to their families in Nelson so they can’t

send as much money as they would like.

“It’s no choice that we have to support our parents, and brothers and sisters,” Sue says.

“But we have to support the family, too.”

Van shares Sue’s convictions.

“We have to send money because they don’t have income,” he says. “Sometimes we have reduced our tea or something so we can send a little money.”

They hope that they can raise awareness about the situation in Myanmar to help all those affected.

“It is really important for New Zealand to support the Myanmar people,” Van says.

It is estimated that 20,000 people have been killed in violence since the coup and one million people are thought to be displaced.

Māori speech competition Wet start to held in Whakatū winter MAX FRETHEY

KATE RUSSELL Nelson Tasman is on track to have one of its wettest Junes in years, with the amount of rainfall so far this month creeping up to be almost double the amount the region saw last year.

Nelson has already had 116m of rain this month, surpassing the region’s June average of 84mm.

In comparison, just 76mm on rain fell in Nelson in June 2021, and in 2020 there was a total of 84mm.

Metservice meteorologist Tui McInnes says Nelson is yet to see a rain-free day this month, but the sun is set to make an appearance today.

“Things will start to clear up this week. You’ll see finer conditions, but it will be cloudy at times and there may still be a chance of a shower.”

According to Metservice, Nelsonians can expect some showers again on Thursday and Friday but the sun should make an appearance for the weekend.

Ngā Manu Kōrero came to Whakatū on Friday with tamariki from across te Tau Ihu coming together to compete in the Māori language speech competition.

Seven kura participated in the speech competition that was hosted by Nayland College at the Pūtangitangi Greenmeadows Centre in Stoke due to ongoing renovations on their campus.

“It’s a huge honour and privilege,” Nayland Māori kaiako Chanel Ngaruhe says. “It’s a very big deal for us as a kura.”

The competition is regarded as the most significant event on the Māori education calendar and began as a way to revitalise te reo Māori in Aotearoa.

“It was a way to let Māori youth have a voice,” Chanel says. “To encourage Māori secondary school students to become more fluent.”

But speeches delivered at the competition are not solely in te reo and features speeches in English, though the subjects spoken on always revolve around kaupapa Māori – Māori philosophies, values, and experiences.

Izayah Tuitupoukutu, 13, from

Izayah Tuitupoukutu, 13, from Nelson College spoke about the importance of te reo Māori and his efforts to learn and know the language that his whanau were once punished for speaking.

Photo: Max Frethey.

Nelson College gave one of the speeches at the competition.

His speech was about his journey of gaining and maintaining his reo as well about some of the history of the language.

“My whānau was punished for speaking the native tongue at school,” he says.

“For my job, I need to keep my reo and maintain it for the future generation of my whānau.”

He does this by taking kapa haka, taking Māori subjects at school, and using as much of te reo as he can in day-to-day life.”

Izayah says he thinks it’s important to have Ngā Manu Kōrero

and that he enjoyed participating.

“I think it’s good how Māori get to celebrate and do their kōrero, whether it’s in English or Māori.”

Chanel says that all the speakers did an excellent job and that many of the speeches brought a tear to her eye.

“Not only are they courageous, but they are all so intelligent. I am in awe of them. At that age, I could not have had the courage to stand and speak as they did today.”

Izayah won the Junior English category, Shandyleah Barrett from Tui ate Matangi won the Junior Māori category, Alie Bates from Marlborough Girls College won the Senior English category, and the Senior Māori category was won by Nayland College’s Xanthe Banks.

Each of the four winners will now have their speeches played at the Ngā Manu Kōrero national competition in September which is being held online.

Chanel says the competition was a lot of work to put together and she couldn’t have done it without her team. “I’m very blessed and very privileged to have such an awesome team, I couldn’t have done this alone.”

Staying connected to one another The upcoming Volunteer Expo is an annual collaboration between Volunteer Nelson and Age Concern, and supported and funded by the Nelson City Council. Held at Annesbrook Church on June 25, the team at Volunteer Nelson say the purpose of this event is for participating community organisations to recruit volunteers and network with the community.

It gives exhibitors a unique opportunity to engage, interact and connect with visitors or prospective volunteers. It also enables these organisations to strengthen, or establish, and raise their profiles with new and existing volunteers.

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

“There has been a lot of research that supports the idea that staying busy, maintaining social connections and finding purpose in our daily routine are all part of a healthy mental wellbeing. Being a volunteer keeps us active and engaged in our community and stretches us to expand our horizons and learn things about ourselves. Getting involved doesn’t have to be complicated and it doesn’t require hours of our precious time.”

Volunteering underpins the services of many organisations, with over one million people volunteering with a myriad of organisations across the country, there are some services that simply would not survive if it wasn’t for the kindness and generosity of others.

Volunteering can be done in many different ways whether it be a particular skillset, or by the donation of time, everyone has something they can offer, and the rewards gained from volunteering can be invaluable. For many, volunteering has changed their lives, they have gained new friends or felt they have gained a purpose. But at the core of it all, is connecting.

“We all need to stay connected to one another.

This statement rings true for everyone!”

It is more important than ever before to interact face to face in this online world of video communication, emails, and text messages.

There is no substitute for personal, hands-on interaction and it will always remain relevant when we are helping others.

“This event gives our special Nelson community a chance to really see what is involved when offering their time and what opportunities are available for them. Expos lead to more conversations and more leads, come and be part of the volunteer expo.”

“Come and visit us on Saturday June 25, at Annesbrook from 10am until 2pm and see what it’s all about. We have over 30 organisations that support many different causes. Come and see how you can benefit!”

POWER INTERRUPTION POSTPONED FOR GOLDEN BAY SUNDAY 19 JUNE 2022, 9:00AM – 3:00PM Network Tasman decided to postpone the Golden Bay outage that was scheduled for Sunday, 12 June. The outage will now take place on the advertised alternative date of Sunday 19 June.

We made this decision for the safety of our contractors based on the forecast risk of electrical storms on Sunday 12th.

MINIMISING DISRUPTION

Puponga

To minimise disruption Network Tasman will install a portable generator to keep the power supply on in selected areas.

The generator will supply: Commercial Street Takaka excluding #1, 3, 194 & 199 - 203: side streets off Commercial Street between and including Junction Street to Feary Crescent; areas West of Takaka; Upper Takaka and the Takaka Valley through to but not including Central Takaka Road and East Takaka Road.

Customers in the generator supply areas will experience a brief outage when the generator is disconnected in evening.

Takaka

The generator is able to supply an area fed by a high voltage feeder line/cable. We have chosen these areas to maximise the benefit of the generator and keep supply on to as many customers as possible while avoiding areas where maintenance work will be undertaken.

If we need to postpone the shutdown due to weather or a network emergency, the alternate date is Sunday 19 June.

Network Tasman will also carry out localised maintenance on the distribution network while the substation is out of service.

Fixing our health system Last week Parliament passed the Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Act. This new law will create a health system that works for all New Zealanders, removes the postcode lottery, and puts patients and communities at the heart of our health system.

On July 1 we will establish Health New Zealand and the Māori Health Authority as permanent entities to replace the fragmented DHB system.

We’re also continuing our massive rebuild programme to ensure New Zealand’s health infrastructure is fit for purpose. The Government has invested an extra $6 billion since 2017 to upgrade our hospitals and health infrastructure.

One of the upgraded facilities will be our new Nelson Hospital. I campaigned in 2020 for a new Hospital in Nelson, and I've worked hard to secure funding in Budget 2022 to get this project started.

The George Manson Building is earthquake-prone, and needs replacing to ensure we have the best facilities available for our aging and growing population. The Nelson Hospital upgrade project will be the biggest economic development project in Nelson in a generation and will provide jobs as we secure our recovery from Covid-19.

Healing from depression through music KATE RUSSELL A Nelson music teacher is using her talents and experiences to shine a light on post-natal depression at the Nelson Fringe Festival later this month.

‘Break’ is Jessica D’ath’s first original show and tells the story of her journey through post-natal depression when her daughter was born eight years ago.

“It is a one-act piece, featuring original songs I’ve written over many years, intertwined with stories which are a mixture of monologues and outright storytelling,” she says.

“The throughline of the show is an exploration into how we portray ourselves on social media as people, particularly new mothers, and how this often hides the reality of the experience, even if we think we are being very clear in asking for help.”

Jessica’s depression started during her pregnancy.

“When my daughter was about six months old I was hospitilised, and it just went from bad to worse,” she says.

“She wouldn’t sleep, and I couldn’t sleep. I didn’t bond with her right away. I stopped going to mums’

ging online - it was my one way of coping and I wanted to turn that

into something.”

Writing the show, which features

eight original songs, has been a healing experience for Jessica.

“For me, music takes the place of where words can no longer go,” she says.

“It feels like music was the best way to tell the story. Doing this gives me ownership back over the experience again. Yes, it destroyed me at that moment but now I’m here and I can actually say I have control over it, and I can move it forward.”

This is the fourth time Jessica has entered the show in the Nelson Fringe Festival, but the first three times she withdrew it.

“I didn’t feel like I was far enough removed from the experience yet and I also didn’t feel like it was ready.”

The performance is 45 minutes long and Jessica says her goal is to take it to other fringe festivals around the country.

‘Break’ is on for two nights, Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 June at 6.05pm at the Refinery ArtSpace.

Tickets can be purchased from www.eventfinda.co.nz/2022/nel son-fringe-break/nelson To view the full Nelson Fringe Festival schedule visit www.nelson fringe.co.nz

Opinion

Opinion Safety in Tāhunanui

Frank Sinatra had a famous song called “My Way” which appears to have been adopted by Waka Kotahi as their new theme song, especially in regard to the Nelson Future Access Project. When the Nelson Future Access Project was presented to the Nelson City Council on October 28, 2021, councillors enquired if it was possible to remove the Tahunanui section from the report for further consideration. The representatives from Waka Kotahi at the meeting stated that this was not possible as the plan could not be separated, it needed to be endorsed as a whole. On 16 December a letter from Waka Kotahi contradicts this statement. Waka Kotahi are quoted “progression of individual activities including, the reinstatement of the southbound lane of SH6 into Tāhunanui, are subject to separate decisions.” In light of this information council’s decision to support the plan in its entirety needs to be urgently reviewed. Of major concern to Tāhunanui Beachside Community, is the current plan to reinstate the southbound lane before Christmas 2022 using the annual maintenance fund.

This lane was removed in 2013 for safety reasons because it was dangerous. Since then, there has been an increase in the volume of traffic, and we have experienced the introduction of high productivity freight vehicles (longer and heavier).

Reinstating this lane will further compromise safety for the residents, preschools, schools, businesses and recreational users of this beachside community. Of particular concern is how the planned

“lane reinstatement” will affect access to residents properties, shops, restaurants and essential Health services. Eg Doctors, pharmacy, medlab, dentists etc.

The Mayor of New Plymouth was recently calling for an investigation into the operation of Waka Kotahi especially in their appalling attitude to the regions of New Zealand. After having over 20 years experience with NZTA and now Waka Kotahi, I couldn’t agree more.

This Nelson Future Access project was designed in Wellington from a desk top exercise and when questioned about communication with effected parties their world became a very quiet space. We need the Nelson City council to take action on our community’s behalf.

Paul Matheson Chair Tahunanui Business and Citizens Association

Refund due

Nelson ratepayers are due a refund on their rates if Three Waters goes through, and our water infrastructure is confiscated by central government. The current mayor has been pushing this change and now sits on the Three Waters committee. What ratepayers have not been told is that over the years, rates have funded council’s depreciation account, a large part of which accumulates to fund the cost of water infrastructure replacement. This year low-income areas of Nelson face huge rate increases. What actions have council initiated to reimburse ratepayers the monies they have paid to maintain and replace our water infrastructure?

None whatsoever.

Little progress achieved

I came across this article when tidying my office. Interesting to read 27 years on with little progress achieved meantime in many council areas. Nelson is an exception as we have invested and should not be penalised by being required to fund other places who haven’t served the water supply needs of their residents.

GENERATIONS OF NELSON Brought to you by Marsden House Tobacco Comes to Nelson

The first known plantings of tobacco in New Zealand were on Mana Island, supplying whalers in 1839.

Tobacco was first grown commercially in Nelson in 1888 by Horatio Everett, but Nelson’s thriving industry was the result of an American

Jew, Gerhard Husheer, from Napier.

In 1920 he supplied the seed and encouraged a Nelson City Council employee to plant half an acre of tobacco at Brightwater, leading to the establishment of the National Tobacco Company.

Elma Turner Library to temporarily close due to earthquake-related concerns Nelson City Council decided to temporarily close Elma Turner Library from Thursday 9 June after a recent inspection of the ceiling tiles discovered some tiles are much heavier than expected, weighing between 8kg and 11kg.

Ceiling tiles weighing more than 7.5kg are deemed ‘heavy tiles’ and are considered to pose an earthquake risk if not properly restrained. The inspection also found that the ceiling tiles are in a two-way grid, fixed at its perimeter to partitions and walls but with no visible diagonal bracing.

This latest inspection has built on Council's knowledge about the ceiling tiles, and as our knowledge increases, our response changes. Council had already identified a risk with the ceiling tiles and set aside funding of $200,000 in this financial year (2021/22) for remediation work. This work has not been completed yet due to staff shortages and an issue identified with the tiles being used for heating purposes, but work will now take place with urgency.

The next step is for engineers to produce a report detailing the expected relative risks of the ceiling tiles and the NBS (New Building Standards) ratings for the ceilings, including whether the ceiling is considered to be a significant life safety hazard in the interim.

Council will also prioritise investigating whether it is possible to secure areas to address the hazard. This work has already been undertaken in parts of Civic House, where galvanised aluminium channels have been attached to brace the tiles, but it is unclear at this stage whether this will be appropriate for Elma Turner Library.

Chief Executive Pat Dougherty says even though legislative obligations did not require closure, the new information about the weight of the tiles was very concerning, particularly when combined with the vulnerability of library users – such as older adults and children – and a lack of furniture that can offer

protection in the event of a major earthquake.

“Closing a much-loved community facility, even temporarily, is not an easy decision, but on the basis of what we know so far, we are not prepared to accept the level of risk the ceiling tiles at Elma Turner Library present to our community. Unfortunately, the Library needs to be closed as a precaution while we learn more about the risk and what we can do to mitigate it.”

In terms of library services, Council staff are looking at options that could include expanding online library services and increasing hours at other branches (Stoke and Nightingale libraries), as well as considering the potential of opening a pop-up library in the Central City.

Library Manager Sarina Barron says as well as being difficult for customers, the closure will also be hard on staff.

“Library staff thrive on the interaction they have with the public, but at least the COVID-19 lockdowns have provided us with some valuable experience in how to operate differently and provide many of our services remotely. We ask that our community bear with us as we once again change the way we operate.”

Community and Recreation Committee Chair Tim Skinner says he recognises the inconvenience caused to the public, but the decision to close Elma Turner Library was the right call in terms of safety.

“We cannot in good conscience allow this building to continue to be occupied knowing what we know about the weight of the tiles. We hope the community understand why we need to close as a precaution, and I hope we can get the Library back up and running soon.”

Remembering John Mitchell E kore e hekeheke, he kākano Rangatira / Our ancestors will never die for they live on in each of us.

A former Māori historian and adviser to the Nelson City Council, Māui John Mitchell (known as John), was remembered at a memorial service held by his whānau on Sunday 5 June.

John (Ngāti Tama, Te Ātiawa, Ngāti Toa, Taranaki Tūturu) passed in September of last year at the age of 80.

The service included the unveiling of a memorial seat and the planting of a totara tree in Rutherford Park.

Nelson Mayor Rachel Reese says John made an invaluable contribution to local government in Nelson.

“John was an incredible help in building the relationships between Council and iwi that we rely on today. He was a wonderful man who showed patience, tolerance, and wisdom in his guidance to Council and has undoubtedly made Nelson Whakatū a better place.”

Before Council appointed an official Kaumātua (Māori elder) and Kaihautū (Manager of Māori

partnerships), it was John who provided cultural support to Council and guided staff through questions about working with Māori. He provided advice from both a historical and a personal perspective, but always with a balanced and considerate view of other iwi.

John was also an excellent researcher and leaves a legacy through his many historical books, written and published with his wife and partner Hilary Mitchell.

Together they wrote Te Tau Ihu o Te Waka, a History of Māori of Nelson and Marlborough, a four-volume series on the region’s history, including the impacts of colonisation and European settlement on Māori.

Hilary says John loved the idea of the ancestors as stars in the heavens. The inscription on John’s memorial seat reads Haere koe kia whetūrangitia ki ngā tupuna / Go and be a star with your ancestors.

John is survived by his wife Hilary, their children, Adam, Luke and Susan, and their grandchildren.

Nelson Marina sets off on voyage to a community-focused future A draft Masterplan setting out Nelson City Council’s plans to transform Nelson Marina into a modern boating hub and place for everyone in our community to enjoy goes out for public consultation on 20 June.

The Draft Marina Masterplan is a 15-year vision, which incorporates the modernisation of facilities for boat owners with improved links to the city centre to encourage public access.

Strategic Development and Property Subcommittee Chair Gaile Noonan says the plan aims to create a thriving boating hub that will stimulate growth and activity within Nelson’s local economy.

“There is so much potential at our Marina, and this masterplan aims to release it. The benefits to Nelson as a city are straightforward: a stronger connection between our city centre and the sea, a new space open to everyone in our community, and, at its heart, a modern facility for boaties that offers everything they would expect to see at a state-of-the-art marina.”

Pets Ever After offers a local, after-death pet service. “Our services are tailored to suit people’s needs, with pick-up and drop-off available.” At Pets Ever After, it’s guaranteed that the ashes that are returned are those of the pet received. “They come in a mauve coloured cardboard urn, with name and certificate included.

We also have wooden urns, scatter tubes and memorabilia available, plus a range of memorial options from simple granite disks to ceramic photos and statues.”

Pets Ever After also has a `no ash back' service in which the ashes

are scattered in a serene garden.

For more information, visit www. petcremations.co.nz Pet Sitters NZ are celebrating 18 years in business, so you know this is a local business you can trust with a reliable team of experienced sitters and range of services.

Located next door to Kush Coffee, qualified massage therapist Jo Hender offers a serene place to relax and destress. She has owned Mind and Body Therapy since late 2020 and is loving it “I really enjoy looking after people and giving them a break from everyday stresses, leaving them more relaxed and revived at the end of a session.” Jo provides relaxation massage using Tui Balm waxes.

“Massage can relieve tension and pain, so it’s ideal for busy people, whether you’re working, studying or parenting, etc.” Jo is also a student counsellor, who is working towards a degree in counselling.

“I provide a holistic wellness package that can include both counselling and massage. My passion is women who are going through difficult times and are juggling a multitude of things. They can come to me and process their problems, have a relaxation massage and leave feeling cleansed.”

Allow from 30 minutes for a ‘quick revive’ or two hours for a ‘process and pamper’ session. By appointment only. Phone 021 264 7559.

Get up and going this winter at Zumba with Renata! “People come to my classes for a variety of different reasons,” says Zumba instructor Renata Harper, who is originally from Brazil where dancing was a part of her daily life. “People do Zumba for fitness, for cardio, to lose some weight or because they just love dancing; it’s a happy hour for them! It’s also good for memory and brings out your endorphins! If you have recently recovered from Covid, Zumba is a great way to build up your fitness again as you can go at your own pace. Zumba is 80 percent Latin songs and involves a range of different beats and rhythms within my one-hour classes on Tuesday mornings at 9:30am at the Trafalgar Street Hall, and on Wednesday and Thursday evenings at 6:30pm at the Hampden Street Hall. Check out my ‘Zumba Toning’ classes on Fridays at 9.30am at the Trafalgar Hall! The cost for classes is $10 (casual), concession tickets (10 classes) are $80, students $7, and under 12’s are free! I came to New Zealand in 2001 with my Kiwi husband In 2012 my friend said ‘hey, have you been to Zumba, there’s some classes around the corner,’ then I was hooked, and before long I trained as a Zumba instructor!”

Community rugby to benefit from deal PETER JONES Community rugby is set to be the biggest benefactor when the funds from NZ Rugby’s much-vaunted Silver Lake deal trickle down to the provincial unions.

The Tasman Rugby Union will benefit by about $1m from the proposal, which cleared its final hurdle at board level last week.

The deal will see Silver Lake invest $200 million in a new commercial entity that will control all revenue-generating assets of NZR. Thirty-seven million dollars has been put aside for a short-term investment in rugby, with provincial unions set to receive $20m - $14m of which will go the NPC unions and $6m to the Heartland unions. The Māori Rugby Board will receive $2m.

Tasman Rugby Union CEO Lyndon Bray was quick to point out that while the anticipated Silver Lake money was most welcome, it should not be viewed as a readymade answer to the challenges the union faced in the community rugby area.

“Money is one thing,” he added, “but it doesn’t actually resolve our core issues. What it will help us to do is potentially better re-

With that in mind, Lyndon is liaising with the club leaders, starting with a meeting on June 20 with the Marlborough club leaders, to then be followed by a similar meeting in Nelson in July.

There he intends, with their help, to come up with a strategic plan on how to best use the windfall.

“It will be a critical meeting fo-

design

cussing on where we go to from here and what our greatest needs are in terms of investment into our game … primarily about community rugby which takes us up to Tasman Trophy level and all the way down to junior Rugby.”

Lyndon pointed to the already-instituted Club Champions scheme as a possible benefactor of the deal.

“We are around 50 percent into the implementation of that, which comes with a $250,000

cost per year to the union and has a co-funding implication for the clubs, so [the Silver Lake money] will greatly aid us to fund those types of initiatives.”

He says the union’s finances were in good shape. Tasman was one of the top four provincial unions in terms of commercial performance and financials over the past few years, despite the pandemic affecting possible income streams.

“We probably don’t need the

money as much as some other unions, however Covid has had a significant impact and it is timely to just help stabilise our finances.”

Another benefit of the Silver Lake deal is an expected rise in the funding Tasman receives annually from their parent body.

“Long-term we stand to get more from the ongoing NZRU funding, perhaps in the region of an extra $350,000 per year. We are around a $4m business these days so that is a very reasonable uplift long-term,” Lyndon said.

With the union’s immediate financial future secure one might think the Tasman boss could rest easy, however he outlined some pressing concerns.

“What keeps me up at night is not Tasman’s finances, it is the ability of us to make decisions with our clubs that will grow the participation levels and allow them to become more sustainable.”

He identified the key issues facing the union as two-fold. Firstly, a need to establish a structure around the female game and where it is headed. Secondly, how to establish a link from junior rugby into age grade rugby, then a transition from high school rugby back into clubs.

Stand-downs handed out for game-ending brawl JACK MALCOLM Six players have been stood down from Nelson and Central following a game-ending brawl in their Tasman Trophy match last week.

Three Nelson players and three Central players were given suspensions ranging from two-eight weeks for their involvement in the scuffle, while one further Central player was given a warning.

The game was called off in the 65th minute after a fight erupted near the touchline of the Thursday night game on Queen’s Birthday weekend.

Team members from both sides threw numerous punches, and one Nelson player attempted to soccer kick a Central player on the ground.

Video of the incident, which shows two ball boys also having to evade the action as the brawl spilled over the sideline, has been viewed by the Nelson Weekly.

It shows a sideline support staff member pulling a ball boy by the collar to avoid him getting caught up in the fray while players threw looping punches nearby.

The video, which came from a live stream of the game, was taken down from the Tasman Rugby Facebook page shortly following

Three Nelson and three Central players have been stood down after a game-ending brawl brought their game to a premature end during the Queen’s Birthday weekend round of the Tasman Trophy.

Photo: Evan Barnes/Shuttersport (file). the game and from the internal Hudl platform that teams use to review footage.

Central player-coach Quentin MacDonald says they were happy with how the process was handled after the “disappointing” incident.

“It doesn’t represent how we play and value the game.

“It’s not what we represent, and our players represent.”

He says the loss of three players for the remainder of the season will be “hugely impactful”.

“To lose any players is going to

cost us, but we’ll scrape through.

“We didn’t have them on the weekend and we got a good win.”

Tasman rugby’s chief executive officer Lyndon Bray says it was “hugely disappointing” that the incident occurred.

“The recommendation, which

was accepted by me, is to severely reprimand both clubs for the incident and both clubs have suffered from season-ending suspensions to individual players.

“The level of cooperation both clubs have provided to the union and the level of regret that their club leaders have shown is to be commended, and the union, through me as chief executive, will be having ongoing discussions with both clubs.”

He says it was agreed that the result would stand, given the scoreline, the lateness of the incident and “the out of character nature of the incident in relation to the judicial history of both clubs”.

“It is a shame on all levels to see an incident of this nature, but it should not detract from so much good work that we are seeing within our rugby clubs this year.

“Our ability to inspire and connect with our communities is a big part of our rugby clubs and our union remaining successful within our provinces, and we cannot afford a pattern of these types of incidents.

“I am confident we will not see a repeat of this unfortunate incident.”

Nelson coach Gary Stevens declined to comment.

Nelson College too good for Waimea Combined JACK MALCOLM Nelson College first XV has dominated Waimea Combined Barbarians to win the local derby 55-0.

It was a clinical performance by Nelson College, who scored four times in the opening 15 minutes to almost put the game out of Waimea Combined’s reach from the outset.

Waimea Combined would never get attacking ball in their opposition 22 as they were unable to find answers against a rampaging Nelson College side.

With a healthy dose of rain and mud, it was a game that would be decided in the forwards and it was clear who had the superior forward pack.

At scrum time the Nelson Col-

lege pack would routinely push their opponents back several paces, with first 15 rules dictating they can only push a metre-anda-half.

Waimea had some respite through the second half. Nelson came into the break 36-0, but were only able to add 19 points to their total.

It was a small win for the combined side, who are now fighting to retain their place in the competition after it was announced earlier this month that the competition would have a reshuffle next season.

They must finish within the top 10 teams in the competition to keep their spot or face relegation to a premiership level competition.

Their second half was better, but Nelson College starved Waimea

Combined of the ball and restricted play to their half of the field.

Territory and possession were dominated by Nelson College, who had the run of everything in tricky and muddy conditions.

Their first five-eighth Harrison Inch had a fantastic game, marshalling the troops well with a cool head.

On attack, he was divisive in challenging the defence line with probing runs and being a good distributor.

Nelson College head coach Jono Phillips said the year 11 player had a performance that you’d expect from a player in their last year of school.

“The real stand out for me was Sione Mafi at three. . . our dominance

at scrum came from him at tight head.”

Jono says it feels great to come out of back-to-back top of the south derby matches with 10 points ahead of a tough upcoming schedule.

He says their second-half performance provided things to work on with a tough schedule moving forward.

“We got sloppy and didn’t play as a team enough. We played as individuals and got isolated and the ball stripped to much.”

With Christchurch Boy’s High School and Shirley Boy’s High School on the cards before the

annual Quadrangular tournament to end the month, they have their work cut out for them.

Waimea coach Grant Waters said they had too many errors in the first half before cleaning them up too late.

“We didn’t stick to the gameplan. . . I don’t think they allowed us to do that. We were supposed to play field position.”

He says the heart and spirit shown by the boys through the second half was admirable.

“The teams got a bit of guts. They (Nelson College) were all dropping with cramp and we were still going.”

Newest Giant import excited to show his skills on court JACK MALCOLM Sam Thompson says he already feels like a part of the community after just three weeks in town.

The more than 2-metre tall power forward travelled from America as a replacement import for the injured Tom Ingham and the Mike Pero Nelson Giants. With overseas experience in Europe and Asia, as well as playing in summer and preseason leagues for the NBA’s Charlotte Hornets, he says it’s exciting to be on New Zealand soil.

“New Zealand was the number one choice.”

After talking with his agent, he says they were looking for a league for his summer season and the opportunity came up.

By chance, NBL’s leading points scorer in the Giants, Trey Mourning, had been

on Sam’s team previously and they got talking about if there was a spot available for him.

“It was a lucky coincidence. I would have stayed and played closer to home (otherwise).”

A game-leading 23 points in his second appearance for the Giants against the Southland Sharks saw him put his talents to the test.

Sam says the game is bigger, stronger and faster in the States, with a focus on “pace and space”, that’s been an exciting challenge to tackle.

“It’s fun coming over here and playing a different style of basketball, finding ways to be effective.

“Playing within the flow so me getting my numbers doesn’t interfere with our flow.”

He says the club also has a different vibe than others he’s been

in.

“The club feels ingrained in the Nelson community. We go out there trying to represent that.

“We’re going to keep playing hard and put out a brand of basketball they’re proud of.”

Sam says the Giants have all the makings of a championship side this season.

“We come in every day to be the best defensive team in the league. We have championship aspirations and we have everything we need.”

While Sam says he’s been fortunate to travel the world playing basketball, he tries not to look too far into the future.

“I want to give it my all and I want to accomplish our goals.

Whenever I’m on the basketball court I want to show what I can do and how much time I put into the game.”
