Plane crash in estuary

Wednesday 20 April 2022

MaX FretHey Two people escaped with minor injuries after the plane they were flying crash-landed into the Waimea Estuary on Sunday morning.

Eyewitness Robin Greig says he saw the crash from an elevated field only a few hundred metres away.

“The little plane was coming in very low over the sea.”

The aircraft is reported to be an amphibious Progressive Aerodyne SeaRey and Robin wasn’t sure if it was trying to land on the sea.

“The conditions were pretty ripe for [a sea landing],” Robin says, but adds that the engine sounded like it wasn’t running strongly.

“It almost looked like they ran out of power or something.”

Robin says it seemed like the wheels of the plane got caught on the water, which acted like a break on the vehicle and forced its nose down into the sea.

“I was stunned to see it hit

He says the plane stood upright for about three or four minutes before it fell onto its back and floated.

Robin says he didn’t see the people get out of the plane but did see the occupants

Orienteering champs held over Easter

MaX FretHey The New Zealand Orienteering Championships occurred last weekend in the Nelson region.

The event kicked off with an urban race through Nelson Boys College and Nelson Hospital’s Braemar Campus on Friday before middle and long-distance races on Saturday and

Sunday at Canaan Downs on Takaka Hill.

The weekend officially concluded with a relay race at Rabbit Island on Monday.

Nelson Orienteering Club president Matt Ogden said it was a great competition.

“It was fantastic, we had over 450 people from around the country. The

weather was absolutely fantastic.”

Course organiser Nathan Fa’avae says the region is a great place to do orienteering.

“Nelson Tasman is a real easy sell as a place to come.”

“What an awesome part of the country to come to do orienteering,” Matt agrees. “Canaan Downs was probably the highlight.”

“Everyone gets a time of peace and remembrance for each other.”

“It means to remember the soldiers of New Zealand and Australia, and it’s a day off.”

“Having family members that fought in the wars, it means a definite time of remembrance.”

“It’s an important day of national significance that we should stop and acknowledge.”

Plane crashes in Waimea estuary from page 1 beside the floating vehicle. “I could see two heads beside the body of the plane.”

Local boaties went to the rescue along with fire and police. Robin says he saw about four boats, a couple of people in canoes, and even someone on a paddle board who all arrived to help. “I was surprised by how quickly people rallied around and got out there in their boats.”

One local boat owner, who attended the scene, said that one person had a minor injury to his leg while the other escaped without injury.

“We were very surprised the people weren’t more badly injured,” Robin says. He also says that the plane floated on the surface of the water, with the aid of added floats which were attached to the plane, until it came to rest on the ground at low tide which was about 4.15pm on Sunday.

“It definitely didn’t sink.”

However, this is contrary to a statement from a police spokesperson who said the aircraft had sunk.

Robin says that a helicopter came out that evening and lifted the plane out and seemed to take it to a field near the Playhouse Cafe.

Harbour Light Bistro to close Nelson’s Harbour Light Bistro will be closing its doors on 30 April after a successful 12 years. They announced the closure earlier this month.

Police would like to identify the female driver of a white van, who had two child passengers. If

Petition to reduce dog rego fees In response to Nelson City Council raising their dog registration fees from $97 to $102 this July, an online petition was created by a local woman last week. As of Monday, more than 350 people had signed the petition on Change.org. “With high costs of living and people really struggling, it is grossly unfair to be raising the fees to over $100,” it states.

Parade inflatables bought Two of the three iconic Nelson Santa Parade inflatable floats - a clown, a lion, and a pirate - have sold on Trade Me. The auctions closed last Sunday night and the 4.6m tall clown was the favourite of the three, selling above its $1000 reserve for $1,516. The pirate sold for $1000 but the lion did not sell despite 37 people adding it to their watchlist.

Local community heroes recognised Kate Russell Nelson’s strong community spirit was celebrated at the Eelco Boswijk Awards last Wednesday.

The ceremony, which was held at the Trafalgar Centre, recognised the effort of individuals and teams for their contributions to the wider Nelson community over five different categories.

The Nelson Civic Trust Community Hero award went to Brian McIntyre and the ‘A Team’ who dedicated more than four years of their time cleaning and restoring graves at the Wakapuaka Cemetery.

Brian, who turns 80 next month, restored more than 3,500 headstones with the help of a number of volunteers.

However, due to increasing health and safety rules, along with heritage and property laws and rules, Brian decided to call an end to their work late last year.

Brian says the award is very much a team effort.

“I want to acknowledge the huge input of the rest of the team that was there for over four years. We had a suspicion

Brian says the award also has personal ties too, as he knew Eelco well. “When he was living at the Green Gables rest home, I used to go over at 4pm and pour him a whiskey, sometimes two,” he says. “He was a man ahead of his time.”

In other categories, The Nelson Pine ChangeMaker award went to Sean Thomas. Sean,

who passed away last year, was presented with his award before he died.

There were two recipients for the NBS Leadership award Giving Aroha in Anzac Park and Kai with Love. The Nelmac Kaitiakitanga award went to Sophie Weenink Smith, and the Nelson City Council Smart Little City award was shared

Brothers’ bay of broken dreams: Family torn apart by dispute over bach TRACY NEAL OPEN JUSTICE REPORTER The ties that bound a family bach built by a labour of love, have been unravelled by a longrunning fight which one family member says has been “years of heartbreak”.

“It’s been absolute devastation.

It’s a place where we used to love to go, as it was all about family,” she said of the shared haven in the sometimes serene but often squally corner of the Marlborough Sounds.

The 49-hectare property at Oyster Bay, in the Croissilles Harbour, was developed by Morris and Rosalie Parkins, together with their three sons, Reece, Steve and Grant.

Rosalie died in 1999, sadly not long after the bach was finished, and Morris in 2010, after which the three brothers inherited an equal share in the property.

It had become something their father never would have wanted, Steve told Open Justice.

At the heart of the dispute was Grant’s ambition for a greater interest in the property.

He claimed to have contributed more than his brothers to its development.

He was not challenging the will, but wanted recognition he was

entitled to a larger share of the value of improvements over the years. A bid to have the District Court recognise his claim failed, and now an appeal to the High Court has also failed.

Grant said while the rift with his brothers was now irreparable, he planned to continue the fight.

“I don’t want to say much more but yes, it’s been very difficult – there’s no going back.”

Morris Parkins was 46 years-old when he bought the property in 1990. It was mostly bare land in a part of the Sounds which was a boat ride from Nelson, or a long drive over twisty, steep gravel roads which in parts plunged straight down to the sea.

Morris, Rosalie and their three sons referred always to the property as “the family bach”, where Morris spent most of his spare time. He was a builder, regarded by all, including his sons, as a man of few words. He was extremely resourceful and a very hard and committed worker, Justice Gendall said in last month’s High Court decision.

“It is clear from the evidence that Morris was very determined to develop his family bach property which he loved, and in doing so to employ the many and varied skills he had.”

He worked tirelessly for years to

From 1990 he cleared the land, built fences and facilities for stock plus a large shed before preparing a site for the first house. Morris and his sons worked fulltime, therefore work on the property was a project for weekends. It took six years to build the house.

Grant was an engineer, Reece a builder, and Steve a plumber.

Aside from the practical skills they contributed to developing the property, they also revelled in the fishing and hunting opportunities the bay offered.

In 2003, Morris, who was by then retired, re-located an old hospital building to the property to be used as a second house. In 2008 his health declined, and he went into care. Reece took over

administering his father’s affairs.

He, Grant and Steve divided the costs three ways of running the property, including rates, insurance, private roading levies, and mooring fees.

Morris died in 2010, not having been back to the Sounds since he went into care. While Grant acknowledged all had equal share in the estate, he claimed that because he and their father developed the property together in the earlier years he was therefore entitled to half the value of improvements over time.

“Because of his contributions and reasonable expectations, he maintains an institutional constructive trust arose relating to the property that he asks the court to recognise,” Justice Gendall said.

An example of a constructive trust might be where a person was defined by law as being a property’s nominal owner, for the benefit of others.

Steve and Reece acknowledged Grant had put in more work than they had early on, but later on their contributions exceeded his.

They too had used their trade expertise, their own equipment and gear, and their access to materials in the property’s later development.

They also disputed Grant’s claim

he had made direct financial contributions to the property’s development.

Justice Gendall said that in order to give rise to a constructive trust a claimant needed to establish more than just contributions to the asset in question.

“The property was regarded by all as the ‘family bach’. It was ‘Morris’ bach’ - his passion, and something he worked on in most of his free moments.

“It was passed down by Morris in his will (unchanged for 30 years when he died), to his three boys in equal shares for continuing use by them and the next generation his respective grandchildren.”

Justice Gendall said the conclusion reached in the District Court to dismiss Grant’s claim in its entirety was a proper one. The subsequent appeal in the High Court failed for a number of reasons.

The family said the heartbreak was such that some of them, including Grant, hadn’t visited in years. They said it had left a “nasty taste” and all they wanted was to remember their mum and dad being there.

Moutere Artisans eagerly prepare for Autumn Open Day The creatively talented collaborative that make up the Moutere Artisans are excited to invite you to their very first Autumn Open Day on April 24.

Traditionally held in October during Labour weekend the craftspeople of Upper Moutere open their doors to the public so they can experience the very best of what the skilled makers have to offer.

The annual event has been running for around 15 years and consistently attracts thousands of people across the region. This year the team have chosen to create a bi-annual occasion, with their first being held over Anzac weekend, to allow artisans with more seasonally reliant products to be involved.

Noël Jelsma, co-owner of Neudorf Black and chairman of Moutere Artisans, says the decision was an easy one after hosting such a hugely successful event last October.

“We thought we could try something new and see what the attendance numbers are like.

Hosting the event in autumn gives other artisans the opportunity to participate as well.”

The Moutere Hills Community Centre will be serving as a hub of central information on the day. Maps, carparking, information boards on the artisans, and toilet facilities will be available, says Noël.

Driving through the Moutere countryside in autumn will offer a spectacular backdrop to an already stunning landscape. “There will be a different autumnal vibe this time around, there will be new wines and wares on the table and fresh berries, jams and sauces, available from Moutere Strawberries.”

Jewellery, sculptures, pottery and ceramics will be available on the day, enjoy a pint at New Zealand’s oldest pub or sample new season wines from the plethora of award-winning Moutere Valley vineyards along with some of the country’s finest cheeses, mushrooms, olive oils, black garlic, and gourmet smallgoods and charcuterie as well.

“Forget about your troubles,” says Noël, “and enjoy a wonderful day out in our stunning region.”

Staff rewards and Grammarly subscription amid council credit card spend ERIN BRADNOCK Local Democracy Reporter Nelson City Council has revealed where $44,325 of credit card spending has been allotted over the last 12 months.

Under the council’s credit card use policy, mayor Rachel Reese, chief executive Pat Dougherty and group manager for council’s corporate services Nikki Harrison have been issued a credit card to use where “there is a clear business need”.

Rachel and Pat have exclusive use of their credit cards with a total spend over the last 12 months of $2271.74 and $2889.20 respectively.

Under an Official Local Government Act request, Local Democracy Reporting can reveal the biggest spend on Rachel’s credit card between March 12, 2021, and March 12, 2022, was for a stay at the five-star hotel Chateau Marlborough in Blenheim.

The accommodation cost came to a total of $1032.50 for a three-day conference hosted by Local Government New Zealand in July of last year.

Pat also attended the conference opting for a stay at a four-star motel, Blenheim’s Palms Motel for $712.98.

While Nikki has overall responsibility for the third credit card, which amounted to an an-

nual spend of $39,164, any staff member within the council can request to use this card where it is deemed “not possible or is impractical to use a purchase order”.

For example, renewing software subscription fees and social media advertising.

As of March 12 2022, Nelson City Council spent $7013 on social media advertising through Facebook in the last 12 months.

Another spend of note included $1512 for an annual subscription to the grammar checker Grammarly.

Staff rewards were another reoccurring item on the spending list totalling a cost of $953.37.

Nelson Sal’s Pizza manager Tifenn Morin at the new restaurant on Trafalgar St. Photo: Kate Russell.

Pizza franchise hits Trafalgar KATE RUSSELL New York-style pizza chain Sal’s is set to open at the top of Trafalgar St this week.

Located in the old Ford’s building, the 50-seat restaurant will join the popular food precinct in the heart of the central city.

Nelson-born and bred franchisee Matt Dewar says they couldn’t have found a more perfect spot.

“We were very lucky to get this building and we’ve got really good operators around us, it’s nice to be amongst that.”

Originating in Auckland, this will be the company’s 39th restaurant in New Zealand and

the 11th in the South Island.

The Richmond restaurant opened in 2020 and Matt says it was always his intention to bring Sal’s to Nelson.

“The two are like chalk and cheese, Richmond is a brandnew building in a carpark whereas this is heritage and has a bit more character.”

Matt says the project hasn’t come without its challenges.

“We’ve needed to do more to the building than I thought, it’s quite often the way.

“You find stuff and then you’re in a position where you can do a band-aid job or do everything properly and make sure it’s future proof - so we’ve end-

ed up doing that as we’re here long-term.”

The current Covid-19 pandemic has also made things somewhat challenging.

“We’ll run a pretty lean operation for the winter and by summertime, we’ll be hitting our straps a bit more.”

The restaurant will be managed

by Tifenn Morin, who currently works at the Richmond franchise. Matt says he was one of the deciding factors in opening a Nelson branch.

“He’s got all the skills and experience - he was like ‘right, let’s find a store in Nelson’, so if it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have been driving it so much.”

local businesses included $50 at Woman Beauty Nelson, a $77.62 spend at Boat Shed Cafe, $51.75 at Urban Eatery, a $150 spend at Frank’s Trees in Richmond and $77 spent at Nelson Restaurant Nahm.

Further afield, $75 was spent on a staff reward from Aucklandbased jeweller Zoe and Morgan, $150 through retailer Farmers, $180 at Max Fashions and the most expensive staff reward was a $192 spend at Christchurch restaurant 5th Street.

Council’s credit card use policy does not specifically include provisions for staff rewards, though it does state that if a credit card holder is attending a function as a

representative of council, an “appropriate and modest” gift can be purchased for under $200.

Pat says their staff rewards policy recognises staff contributions to the community.

“We have a hardworking team that goes above and beyond their job descriptions on a daily basis. Our staff rewards policy recognises that staff responsible for significant improvements or achievements should be acknowledged in some way,” he said.

Bouldering gym opens in heart of Nelson Kate Russell A climbing-mad husband and wife duo have created what they say could become a “destination” bouldering gym in the heart of Nelson.

Tamara and Michael Cartwright opened ‘The Gravity Well’ at 37 Wakatu Lane last week in what used to be the Nelson Mail press hall.

Nelson has been without an indoor climbing facility for more

than three years after Vertical Limits closed in late 2018.

Tamara says it was a trip down to Christchurch to visit the Uprising bouldering gym, that inspired them to take the plunge.

“We went down there saying ‘we’re not opening a gym’ and now here we are, opening a gym.”

The long-time climbers, who have been in Nelson for 11 years after moving here from Seattle, sold their business Solid Documents last year which allowed

them to start another venture.

“We really opened it so we could enjoy it, but also so we could grow a community and connect everyone because there are a lot of climbers here,” says Tamara.

It was a search on Trade Me that revealed the space they were looking for. “This location couldn’t be better. It’s nice to bring this kind of energy into the city centre.”

Tamara says the whole process “from deciding to opening” took about six months, and while they

offer more of a “boutique” climbing gym compared to others, they are adding some diversity by getting New Zealand’s first-ever kilter board next week.

The 12ft-by-12ft frame is controlled by an app and can move from vertical to 70 degrees.

“It will add a lot of space without taking up a lot of space.”

Tamara says it will give them a point of difference.

“I think it will make this a destination gym because it’s the only

one in the country. I think we already have a destination gym because our setter is really creative in how he does problems, and I think that’s going to be a big attraction as well.”

Tamara says the first week has been “fantastic”.

“It’s been busy, people are excited and loving the space. It’s heartwarming to see people thriving, you can tell by the way people are showing up that they are ready for this.”

Nelson readies for Pride Week after “challenging” year for rainbow community ERIN BRADNOCK Local Democracy Reporter

Nelson’s second-ever Pride Week promises to celebrate and uplift Nelson’s rainbow community after what Nelson Pride’s chair describes as an “extra challenging” year for the region’s LGBTQI+ community.

With support from the Nelson City Council’s Tuku22 event host grant and the Rainbow New Zealand Charitable Trust, Nelson’s second-ever pride week is taking place from April 23 to May 2.

Nelson Pride chair Aimée Borlase says the goal of Pride Week 2022 is to celebrate diversity, queer history, local LGBTQI+ groups and to promote a safe, strong, and connected Whakatū.

The week coincides with Nelson’s Tuku22 Whakatū Heritage Months, which this year will take place over three months across April, May and June.

Nelson’s Pride Week will open with a rangatahi-centred Rainbow market hosted at Greenmeadows Centre on April 23.

Other events include a potluck brunch, beach outings, a screening of the documentary Through Rainbow Coloured Glasses as well as two heritage talks.

On Monday, April 25, historian Brent Coutts is set to discuss his book Crossing the Lines at the Red Door Theatre on Atawhai Dr. Crossing the Lines details the story of three homosexual soldiers in WWII, and Coutts will speak about his experience as a researcher of queer history.

Pride Week’s second heritage talk will be hosted Wednesday, April 27, with Nelson Pride committee member Ari Edgecombe presenting ‘Top Story’, a pictorial story-telling event on his journey from a 10-day-old baby girl to the “Southern fella” he is today.

Aimée says the heritage talks specifically act not only as an opportunity for the local rainbow community to feel seen, but as an opportunity for the wider community to listen and learn.

“It’s not just about showing up, I think that good allies are there to listen and to learn more about what these experiences are and what they are like,” she says.

One taste is all it takes

In a show of visual support, both the Nelson Centre for Musical Arts and Theatre Royal buildings will be lit up in rainbow colours throughout Pride Week.

Aimée says while any time is worth celebrating pride, the last year has been “extra challenging” for the LGBTQI+ community in Nelson.

“Between the unfortunate debate and discourse that came up with the pride crossing, the debate that came around the Births, Deaths, Marriages and Relationship Registration Bill and the Speak Up for Women talks hosted in a council building, it’s important people can feel welcome here.” For the full programme visit Facebook.com/nelsonpridenz

Stoke Seniors provide vital support Max Frethey Ruby Aberhart wants to thank the good work of local volunteers for making the lives of independent seniors that much easier.

“I’ve been going to Stoke Seniors for some twenty years,” she says. “If I can’t go to Stoke Seniors, that will be a very hard time in my life.”

Ruby says that getting through the pandemic hasn’t been easy and groups like Stoke Seniors have made a massive differ-

ence to her life over the past two years.

“I don’t really know what I would do if I didn’t have them. [My family’s] wonderful but they can’t be running around after me all the time.”

Every week the Stoke Seniors team delivers a meal to her door and Ruby says she enjoys the picnic trips they take.

A couple weeks ago, the trip was out to Rough Island for a picnic supplied by Stoke Seniors.

She says that because many seniors no longer drive, the picnics put on by Stoke

Seniors are one of the few opportunities many seniors get to leave their homes and experience nature again.

“Stoke Seniors managed to help us get out and have a look,” Ruby says. “We saw the dogs and we saw the sea.”

“They took me somewhere where I wouldn’t be able to go otherwise.”

Many senior citizens, especially those who live independently, are being left behind as the world continues to rapidly change and digitise, Ruby says, so the work by volunteer groups to keep seniors

connected and engaged is invaluable.

“What do you reckon would happen if [all the volunteers] went on strike?” she asks. “There’d be nothing moving.”

Ruby specifically mentioned Stoke Seniors, Citizens Advice Bureau Nelson Tasman, the Society of St Vincent de Paul, MenzShed, and Tea & Talk hosted by Age Concern Nelson Tasman as groups who make life easier for local seniors.

“They’re the ones that kept things going and kept the momentum going.”

Stoke Seniors manager Karen Tuffery says hearing such positive feedback is wonderful.

“I feel very honoured and proud that we can make such a difference in their lives.”

“We’re here to take them out places and – if they come in [to the Greenmeadows Community Centre] – to have some fun, provide some nice meals, provide some fun for them,” Karen says.

The group is run with the help of seven parttime staff and 20 volunteers.

“We’re all very passionate about our job and our members, they become like family to us.”

Karen says that their volunteers proved to be invaluable over the course of the pandemic, delivering meals to their members.

“Without them, we couldn’t have done it.”

Ruby Aberhart says the work of Stoke Seniors, who have delivered a meal to her door, has helped her through the pandemic.

Accessibility mat rolled out on Tāhunanui Beach MAX FRETHEY Tāhunanui Beach has just become a lot more accessible for people in wheelchairs, with strollers, or for those who struggle with soft sand.

A new Mobi-Mat has now been rolled out, both literally and figuratively, on the beach to help those with accessibility issues get closer to the water.

The mat was primarily funded by the Nelson Host Lions Club with help from Nelson City Council.

“Our club got in behind it,” says club president Dave Pullen. “We raised $8,000 towards the whole thing.”

He says that the idea of a mat has been on the backburner for a long time.

“In the past, Nelson City Council had looked at these Mobi-Mats, because they aren’t new, and they thought they’d be quite good to be rolled out onto the beach.”

Unfortunately, Dave says the proposal would fall over due to the issue of storage and of the rolling out and rolling up of the mat each day.

Nelson Host Lions Club president Dave Pullen, right, was pleased to help establish the Mobi-Mat to make life easier for people like Caleb Harcus, centre, who can now more easily play with his son Ethan, left on the beach. Photo: Supplied.

Toby Wild at Moana Paddle Boards has offered to oversee and store the mat.

“None of it would have happened unless we got someone like Toby down at the paddle boards to sort of take ownership of it and bring it in and out,” Dave says.

Toby says that a beach mat is something he’s been wanting

for a while.

“I’d been kind of pushing for better beach access for a number of years,” he says. “While we’ve had multiple levels of support for the idea, it was always an idea of how we’re going to run it.”

Toby volunteered for his business to look after the mat now that they have some extra storage space on-site. “We’re down there most days, especially over summer,” he says.

“It made sense that we’d be involved.”

Caleb Harcus is wheelchairbound. He says the mat is a welcome addition to the beach and will let him spend more time playing with his son, Ethan, down on the sand.

“It’s great for me because, rather than waving from a distance, over there on Rocks Road, I’ll be down in the action,” he says.

“It’s fabulous.”

Toby stressed that the mat won’t be rolled out every day.

“If we’re open, we will endeavour to have it rolled out.”

Covid Update Kiwis are now able to enjoy greater freedoms across the country, as all of New Zealand has moved to Orange.

This is because we’ve seen a sustained reduction in cases and hospitalisations. Under Orange there are no indoor capacity limits, so bars, cafes and restaurants are able to operate at full capacity. I’m looking forward to attending events at some of our iconic Nelson venues like the Theatre Royal, and seeing a full crowd support the Nelson Giants at the Trafalgar Centre.

Tourists from Australia who meet the COVID-19 vaccination requirements can now travel to New Zealand. I know many of you will be looking forward to connecting with friends and loved ones from Australia. If you have friends visiting, I would encourage you to show them the best our region has to offer!

Opinion

Opinion Library redevelopment I’m confused and concerned by the mixed messages coming from Nelson City Council over the new library. ‘Our Nelson’ Issue 142 on 6 April, published a timeline stating that in May 2021 “elected members approve new library development on the corner of Halifax and Trafalgar St” and that construction is to take place on this site 2023 to 2025. Then in the Nelson Mail on 10 April, the library project manager, Alice Heather, tells us “Ideas are not set - not even really formed” and “that this early stage of development was not focused on the specifics of location or physical building”. And now on 13 April, we read in the FAQ section of Shape Nelson that there are “four site options for us to consider”.

The council is inviting Nelsonians to engage in the library process. It is important to take up the council offer and to question carefully the location, design, and cost of any library development.

Tim Robson Why is Nelson City Council planning to build a big expensive li-

brary perched on the side of the river, in the inundation zone and where the coastline will be in 100 years? A smart city council should be planning for a series of 20 min towns, where you can walk or bike to all the key locations, and they are high and dry.

We could have a number of small libraries that are also information centres and public transport hubs. Motueka’s lovely new library cost $5 million, ten times less than the Nelson council is proposing for this high-risk new library project. Climate change tells us now is the right time to reconsider the location and cost, and we should look at affordable, sensible, easily accessible, high and dry alternatives.

Dog rego fees crack $100 in Nelson Horrendous time to increase fees by this amount. NCC is cutting its own throat and penalising many great dog owners.

elderly.

Sandy Brown This is utter discrimination, especially for those families that have animals for special needs children.

Susan Couper Omg, why keep making the price higher? It’s stressful enough for some people who own dogs, especially support dogs. That’s a bit steep to be honest.

Danielle Angel It’s less than $2 a week and less than the cost of a tank of petrol.

It’s also a tiny amount compared to the average vet bill. The news article also does a good job of explaining where the money goes and why there is a difference between Nelson and Tasman.

Ian Millward Oh joy, just another rising cost, I get absolutely nothing for my dog registration, I don’t use the dog park or the back beach or any of the so-called provided doggy do bags. NCC are a dog hating council, we don’t even have a decent foster/rescue group here for

abandoned pound dogs. I would like to know what I actually get for my $102 per year.

Jaynie Holmes I’d love to see the fees broken down dollar by dollar to see what I actually get (apart from access to the dog park) for my prettycoloured plastic tag. The NCC dog registration fees are ludicrous, compared to Tasman.

Wendy Thomas I got a letter stating I had to pay $130 not $102, seriously there’s not even dog poo bags around the district and enough rubbish bins to put them in.

Nothing at all at the parks around Stoke (rubbish bins and doggy doo bags). What am I paying for?

Because it sure as heck isn’t for anything for my dog. Dog park isn’t an option with two full males and the irresponsibility of female dog owners bringing their bitches out of their property while on heat. It is too much of a risk as I come across it far too often now.

So, what exactly is $102 paying for? Because a plastic tag sure as heck doesn’t cost that much?

Unless that’s being upgraded to

a more environmentally-friendly metal tag, I don’t see any need for the massive price hike we’ve had since the beginning of Covid.

Jess Brown Ok, after last year’s huge hike and the removal of the good dog owner discount … things to note … I have not seen one dog education programme advertised and even though we do use our own waste bags I have seen less dispensers than ever before (assuming units have been removed).

Please provide a detailed breakdown, Nelson City Council.

Nelson – A Smart Little City He Tāone Tōrire a Whakatū

NTHT Director Carrie Mozena, Deputy Mayor Judene Edgar and Habitat for Humanity Nelson General Manager Nick Clarke at 99 Muritai Street

Nelson City Council's Housing Reserve hits the ground running Council has approved $1.85 million in grant funding from Phase One of its Housing Reserve to support the development of 19 new affordable homes.

Nelson Tasman Housing Trust (NTHT) has been awarded $850,000 to develop five affordable rental homes – one four-bedroom and four two-bedroom – at 99 Muritai Street in Tāhunanui. Habitat for Humanity Nelson has been awarded $1 million to develop fourteen dwellings at 623 Main Road Stoke. Two of the fourteen dwellings will be designated as affordable social rentals, while the remaining twelve will be made available through Habitat's rent-to-buy Progressive Home Ownership (PHO) programme.

Mayor Rachel Reese said this was about answering the call from the community for affordable housing as quicky as possible.

"By supporting projects from experienced housing providers with proven building track records, Phase One will be able to make a huge positive impact on Nelson's housing supply, delivering safe, well-designed and warm homes that will give families security and a real chance to actually start planning for their future."

Chair of the Urban Development Subcommittee Deputy Mayor Judene Edgar said the projects supported by the Reserve responded to a housing need that other agencies weren't meeting.

"Spiralling rental costs and increases in the cost of living mean you can have a job – a stable income – and still have to put up with poor-quality, cold housing that does nothing for your family's health and nothing for your bank balance. It is sometimes easy to forget that housing is a fundamental right, and these projects tip the scales to ensure a family on a limited income can afford a decent, healthy home."

A recent survey by NTHT found there were over 400 Nelson Tasman households that didn't qualify for public housing but were in dire need of affordable housing.

NTHT Director Carrie Mozena said this funding was a

our.nelson.govt.nz

546 0200

welcome addition to an existing project.

"We applaud Council for making this capital grant to NTHT for affordable housing. The Council funds have leveraged a matching grant from a philanthropic donor. This enables NTHT to get going on our latest development of five warm, dry homes for people on low incomes."

Habitat for Humanity Nelson General Manager Nick Clarke said the funding is a "game-changer" and should be seen as a catalyst to support more people with housing needs.

"We take that funding, and we use it to leverage more funding to build houses both for rent and ownership.

It is going to allow us to move much faster to get families into a situation where they can start enjoying home ownership and the associated security many of us take for granted. Our Progressive Home Ownership programme means we'll be able to recycle the funding to support multiple projects beyond the first project in Stoke to support even more families and individuals into decent homes."

"Partnering with NTHT and Habitat means every dollar invested by Council goes further due to the co-funding they can secure, and we are confident the outcome will be great," said Deputy Mayor Edgar.

The grants are part of Council's $12 million Housing Reserve, which was established in November 2020 following Council's sale of 142 community housing units to Kāinga Ora. In October 2021, it was announced that $2 million of the Reserve would open for applications to allow for a rapid response to the urgent need for housing.

In the next phase of the Housing Reserve, the remaining funds will be used as leverage for further affordable housing projects, with a funding round expected later in the year.

Stoke Youth Park: Phase 2 begins

Mobi-Mat improves beach access Caleb Harcus and son Ethan trialled a new Mobi-Mat at Tāhunanui last week, a device that allows wheelchair users and those with strollers and walkers, who struggle to get over soft sand, to get closer to the water.

Nelson rangatahi and youth leaders called a public hui with Nelson City Council staff at Whanake Youth Wednesday 6 April to discuss the next phase of development for the Stoke Youth Park.

The hui kicked off with attendees sharing what they like about the park: “It’s here!”, “Planned by youth, for youth.”, “Chance to meet new people.”, “Youth-run café.”, “Nice people hang out here.” and “Colourful!”

The kōrero then turned to hopes for the future of the park. Rangatahi expressed a desire for a better culture and more youth ownership of the space in the wake of recent incidents of vandalism, which have been addressed by Council and police.

Council staff presented plans for the next phase of development to improve the space based on feedback received from rangatahi. After Easter, feature lights will be installed to improve security and safety during the winter months. A second security camera, shade sails and a deck will follow.

Caleb says the mat allows him to play with Ethan at the beach.

“It’s great for me because, rather than waving from a distance over on Rocks Road, I’ll be down in the action. That’s the main thing for me. It’s fabulous,” he says.

The Mobi-Mat is made from recycled materials and has been funded by Nelson Host Lions Club with some assistance from Nelson City Council.

Moana Paddle Nelson will roll the Mobi-Mat out on calm, sunny days when they are operating at the beach.

To check if the Mobi-Mat has been rolled out, call Moana Paddle Nelson on 027 272 7259.

Councillor Skinner says the team have responded to requests for animal carcasses not to go to waste.

“Some of the meat will be retrieved with the help of Ngāti Koata, from both Council and Ngāti Koata whenua. It’s not possible to retrieve all meat, but Council is pleased to be able to avoid food waste where possible.”

021 746 315 | arron.cox@mikepero.com

Arron Cox has been with Mike Pero Real Estate for over two and a half years. He has brought with him a wealth of knowledge and expertise from his extensive 35plus years of sales experience in the motor vehicle industry.

During his time with the company Arron has sold 36 properties with a collective worth of over $27 million dollars.

"That is proof that I actually sell real estate," he says. “A lot of people who have supported me in my real estate career, have transferred across from my car sales career - they trust what I do and have become real estate customers. Trust is vital in this industry.”

Arron is passionate about his work saying he loves real estate because of its diversity and flexibility. The role clearly suits him as he was a national finalist for top sales growth in 2020/2021.

"I love the Mike Pero brand, the marketing and the professionalism of it, this gives me confidence in everything that I'm doing. It gives me great flexibility around my family and there’s so much variety from day to day.”

Mike Pero Real Estate is locally owned and operated by Craig and Kellie Hamilton. "They support

local people and clubs such as the Giants, so the fit for me is around the people, and who Craig and Kellie are. I enjoy being involved and helping with local organisations.”

Of his total properties sold, a large majority were in Nelson, Atawhai and Stoke areas. “Considering there have been ongoing covid disruptions to navigate, that's pretty impressive.”

The market looks a little different to how it did last year, but, with his knowledge and experience Arron is very confident in his skills. “We are seeing a different cycle than a few months ago, but we understand the industry at Mike Pero and have the ability to market properties correctly for the current climate.”

“I have sold a section in Pohara, a commercial property in Stoke, a 2.2 million dollar property on Ranzau Road, a house at Kina beach, some sections in Hokitika, an apartment at The Sands, various places in Atawhai - I go anywhere people need me.”

If you are looking to buy or sell, you won't have to deal with lots of different people. "You just get me - one point of contact!”

s w e N Bumper end to g n i h s Fi Speedway season JODY SCOTT Milestone Homes Top of the South Speedway went out in style with a packed stadium of race fans keen to get a final dose of dirt track action, which has been devoid of fans from the last few meetings due to Covid restrictions.

The Easter Extravaganza was back to a two-day event, attracting plenty of visiting drivers for the weekend.

The Quarter-Midgets were the first cars on the track, the grade just as competitive as the adults.

They had the biggest numbers entered for the weekend and it was a Canterbury top three; Ethan Smith took the honours over the 6-race format, SMH series winner Jack Brownlees

tle up the front, meanwhile Callum Russ kept ticking over the points to end up the overall winner with Harlon Brunt sneaking ahead of Higgins for second and Burson finishing fourth.

The season finished with a derby, “the Dirty Dozen” of the 12 cars fronting made for an entertaining climax to the season, magician Andre Vegas pulled a rabbit out of the hat to claim another derby win. It was Wayne Martin’s final meeting as president, having steered the club through the Consent process and dealing with Covid protocols during his term.

It’s been a tough job at times, but he saw a full house at his final meeting and got a standing ovation in the clubrooms after.

runner-up and Jackson Clark third. Locky Martin the best of the Nelson cars coming home in fourth.

Streetstocks had several regular visitors from Christchurch make their way up to join the locals, Greymouth’s Scott Palmer attracted plenty of attention over the meeting, a huge hit on night two saw the 6c of Travis Clark end upside down. There were plenty of bent bumpers as the racing got lively, Ryan Musgrove making a nuisance of himself but was unable to stop the visitor domination with Paul Leslie, Cory Schumacher and Levi Van Lieshout topping the podium.

I had pulled my kayak off the roof, geared it up and was just about to drag her into the water when I noticed something strange in the shore break. A shape reminiscent of a rooster fish’s dorsal fin that I’ve dreamed of chasing off the coast of Mexico or California all my life. Odd thing was, I was right here in Nelson Bay! I moved closer and quickly realised it was a John Dory, casually swimming around in less than a foot of water. Thinking it was on its way out, I approached it to grab it by hand, but it shot away looking perfectly healthy.

After a few minutes it returned.

I watched it cruising in the shallows for a while, seemingly hunting small baitfish, before grabbing my rod. I already had a slow jig on which I flung out in front of the fish without expecting much. Almost instantly

he moved toward the lure but turned away at the last second.

I changed to a soft bait and he followed a few more times before I eventually got too close and spooked him. The fish didn’t return so I hopped onto my kayak and thought I’d have a quick paddle along the shore.

True as Bob, there was the Dory sitting on the bottom in about a meter of water. I dropped down the same jig and watched the fish slowly stalk and engulf the lure a rod length away from the kayak. As soon as it was hooked, it ran straight for the shallows, again almost beaching itself. A short while later I had my first John Dory on board and an awesome memory in the bank.

It makes you wonder if this seldomly observed behaviour is responsible for the Dory that are often found washed up on beaches. I’ll certainly be examining the shore break more carefully in future.

fight in them through the second forty.

Their constant waves of attack were rewarded with two tries to number 8 Larry Banse, who was a strong ball runner the entire game for Nelson.

Despite having an advantage with possession in the second half, Nelson struggled to find go forward ball against a resilient Stoke defence.

Stoke coach Joe Kirker says they were very happy with the performance and how they were able to handle the pressure.

“We knew their game plan was going to be to disrupt us.

“We were happy with our defence throughout. We kept our discipline.”

Stoke has beaten Nelson after a gritty 33-21 encounter in their Easter Friday match at Green Meadows.

In the other games of the round, Wanderers defeated 62-12 and Marist held onto their lead after being kept scoreless in the second half to beat Kahurangi 22-17.

After a slow start by Nelson, they regrouped in the second half and started to challenge Stoke, who went into the game as favourites.

Stoke came out of the gates hot, scoring two converted tries within the opening seven minutes to have a handy 14 point lead early.

Nelson went into the break down 19 points, 26-7, but they still had

Hostelries Thrive in Depression

Nelson’s business world was badly depressed in 1843 and 1844. While many small businesses went to the wall, well-heeled developers and shipping agents thrived. Alongside these businesses, the liquor trade also thrived although initially without licenses. The

magistrate, H.A. Thompson, quickly issued eight licenses and a year later six more. Nelson had thirteen hostelries to Motueka’s one, servicing in total about 5000 residents in the district.

Some offered entertainment and accommodation, while others just grog!

The Mike Pero Nelson Giants can't wait to get back out in front of their home fans and chase a fourth NBL title when their season starts against the Otago Nuggets at home on 28 April.

With the season quickly approaching, they have been hard at work preparing an exciting roster of familiar faces and exciting new talent. Head coach Michael Fitchett says the team is eager to get the season started after a strong preseason showing.

"We've had more of an emphasis on our strength and condition with fitness work than in previous seasons.

"We had a bit more of an emphasis on our gym work, and guys are looking bigger, stronger and fitter than last year.

"It's also been a longer preseason, so they know each other really well and have good chemistry."

With Sam Dempster at the helm for another season, the team aims to get back in the winners' circle and make the playoffs.

Michael says their performances last year were a bit of a roller-

coaster, but with more experience in the squad this season, he's confident they have what it takes.

"While we got a lot of local guys on the team for a number of years, they hadn't played much, and they stepped up last year.

"I'm expecting this year we'll be a little more consistent.

"One area we need to improve on is our defence. We were down the bottom of the league last year for our defence.

"I think if we can sure that side of the ball up, our offence will look after itself."

The team is also in the final stages of signing two new international players that Michael says were scouted for their defensive capabilities.

The three-time champions of the National Basketball League will be eager to get their name back in the winning column after a mixed bag of results last season.

They finished seventh on the table with a six-win and 10 loss record, outside the cutoff for playoffs.

This season, the cutoff for playoffs will be extended from the top

Last year's champions, the Wellington Saints, have won four of the previous five titles and will

be a hard team to beat. The last time the Giants won a title was in 2007, having made the final but stumbled at the finishing hurdle seven times, the last in 2013.

He wanted to thank the local support, especially from the business community who stuck through thick and thin and some challenging times with Covid 19.

"We've been really lucky to keep our heads above water, and that's because of them.

"We want to make them proud and give them some exciting basketball to watch."

Michael says they have the personnel to put in a good challenge for their fourth title this season.

He wanted to thank the continued support from the Nelson community for the team, wanting to grow the connection between fans and players even stronger this season.

"We sold out five of nine home games last year, and we're hoping to make an increase on that.

"We are something that's a consistent presence in town, for people to get out and be around their fellow Nelsonians and support the city by going out after the game.

"We know how important that is for the community and we want to build off that and go even bigger this year."

Local talent will again be key this season and non are more local then ex Waimea College trio Nic Trathen, Tom Ingham and Riley Bensemann. Photos: Shuttersport

1. Keep it short Your current CV may include information about every job or course you’ve ever done but CVs are usually only two to three pages long. Employers mainly want to know if you can do the job.

Your CV should include: • your contact details • work experience that is relevant to the job • your skills that are relevant to the job 2. Give examples of your skills When writing about your skills, don’t just list them – make sure that you give examples of how you’ve used each skill. Identify what you did, the setting in which the activity was carried out, and what happened as a result.

3. Make sure your CV is up to date If you want an employer to contact you, you need to keep your CV up to date with your latest address and telephone number.

• Include the phone number that you are most easily con-

tacted on, whether it’s a landline or cellphone number.

• Check that you have a suitable answerphone message.

• Include an email address on your CV. If you don’t have an email address, set one up.

4. Include referee contact details Most New Zealand employers will ask for two referees who they can contact to ask about your work. Make sure that the contact details for your referees are current, and check this by contacting them yourself.

Tell them about your plans and ask them to read your CV – you may get some good advice from them.

Some New Zealand employers prefer you to have New Zealand work experience. If you are having trouble finding work, consider taking an entry-level job or doing voluntary work. This can also be a source of referees.

5. Put yourself in the employer’s place Once you’ve written your CV it’s important to ask yourself

these three key questions: • When an employer scans my CV, will they think “This CV looks interesting”?

Employers have to sort and reduce a pile of CVs to shortlists of two or three people. They will respond better to a clear, well laid-out CV than a long, disorganised one.

• When an employer reads my CV fully, will they think “This person has skills we need”?

Employers are looking for someone who matches the job description. Adjust and target your CV to highlight things that fit the job you are applying for.

• When an employer is shortlisting CVs will they think “This person is worth meeting”?

Employers are thinking about what you can offer them. Give people a sense of who you are and what you do best.

6. Get it checked It is important to get someone else to check your CV to see that it makes sense, is well formatted and has no spelling or grammatical mistakes.
