Sammy D’s giant of a season Wet room

‘making me sick’

JACK MALCOLM Coming into this season, Mike Pero Nelson Giants captain Sam Dempster was described as the backbone of the team.

At 32-years-old, Sam has become a local favourite with his hard work ethic in games and his everyman demeanour off the court.

Now he has been awarded the Giants’ People’s Choice Player of the Year.

But no one would have expected this season to be one of his best.

“To have your best season when it’s your 15th season is kind of ridiculous,” says Giants head coach Mike Fitchett.

“I don’t know how he’s done it, but he’s having a whale of a season.”

A game and season-high 29 points against the second-placed Auckland Tuatara earlier in the season highlighted Sam’s abilities from beyond the arc, with nine three-pointers.

Sam credits his run of form to the work he and the team did behind the scenes in the off-season.

“I think the big thing for me this year was we got Fletcher Matthews on board as a trainer and he’s the best trainer I’ve ever worked with,” he says.

“We fixed up all my niggles and injuries, and I got a lot stronger.”

Alongside strength and conditioning coach Claire Dallison and physio Ashlee Lusty, Sam says the people behind the scenes deserve just as much credit.

“It’s easy to credit the ones on the court, but all these people are

Chloe Hazelgrove Wilson’s emergency accommodation is making her sick.

The 24-year-old has been living in a motel room with wet carpet caused by a leaking pipe for two weeks.

“I was handed a bunch of towels and told to deal with it,” says Chloe, who was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance last Thursday when she was unable to breathe.

She has been staying at the motel, Courtesy Court Motel on Golf Rd, for four weeks.

“I was originally in another room but because they had people wanting to rent that one, I got moved into here,” says Chloe.

“I was perfectly healthy in the other room. As soon as I got moved into this room it was like this and I got sick.”

She ends up with a pile of “drenched” towels at the end of the day.

“It soaks up a whole towel. I go through

She has the heater going “constantly” but the room is still heavy with dampness, which is playing havoc with her health.

“It’s freezing and the windows are dripping.

At the hospital, they put me on oxygen and did tests and they put it down to respiratory

Chloe has had complications with her health after having Covid-19 and developed blood clots in her lungs.

“They gave me antibiotics for four days because I am already high risk. This room is not helping my health.”

The owner of Courtesy Court Motel, Richard Harris, told Nelson Weekly he is aware of the situation and will be moving her into another room “next week”. “We did have it [the pipe] repaired but it has flared up,” he says.

However, it is understood the motel is due to change hands on 29 July and Craig Chur-

chill, regional commissioner for the Ministry of Social Development, says they are now in the process of finding new accommodation for Chloe.

“We expect our clients to get the same quality of service as any other guest. When concerns are raised about the quality of accommodation, our regional managers follow-up with the supplier to resolve issues around quality or service,” he says. “Where those cannot be resolved in a timely way and to our mutual satisfaction, we will seek to identify alternative accommodation.”

Craig says they have been in touch with the motel to ensure Chloe will be moved to a suitable room for the time being.

Maitai Valley development challenged in hearing MAX FRETHEY

Local Democracy Reporter

The hearing for the proposed private plan change to rezone 287 hectares in the Maitai Valley began last week with the plan’s applicant and the public delivering arguments for and against the proposal.

The private plan change was submitted by CCKV Developments and Bayview Nelson to Nelson City Council and would see the land within Kākā Valley and along Botanical and Malvern Hills rezoned to allow for the construction of 750 new homes in the area.

CCKV’s Andrew Spittal disagrees with the view that the proposed development is a purely a money-driven venture, citing the company’s efforts in conservation in the area as well as its cooperation and engagement with iwi.

“Those are things you don’t do if you’re in it for a quick buck,” he said. “We should be looking at how can we develop this for the new generation.”

Ngāti Koata Trust chair Melanie McGregor also voiced her support for the proposed plan change, especially given the housing crisis.

“This development provides us with possibilities only dreamt

The proposed plan by CCKV Developments and Bayview Nelson would involve building hundreds of homes in Kākā Valley. of by a few of our iwi and out of reach for many others,” she said.

“Housing prices are way out of reach for many, and I do wonder about my own mokopuna; how will they provide for themselves in the future? It is actually projects like this that will make it possible.”

However, the Save the Maitai organisation opposes the development and wants to preserve the valley’s rural character and open space.

The group’s legal counsel, Sally Gepp, said public expectation, especially as codified in the regional policy statement, must be considered when urban expansion is proposed.

“The clear community expectation for a very long time has been that the Maitai Valley would be retained as a place for open space and recreation rather than for urban develop-

ment.”

She went on to say that the plan change hasn’t demonstrated a commitment to good environmental outcomes regarding the natural landscape, stormwater and catchment hydrology, earthworks, and climate impacts.

“You [the commissioners] need to be confident at this stage that the activities that are anticipated by the objectives and policies and rules that would be put in place are appropriate and sufficient to protect the environment.”

Friday, 22 July is the last day of the hearing after which point the independent commissioners will use the evidence to make a recommendation to Nelson City Council.

Skinner endorsed for mayor

by Nelson citizens group MAX FRETHEY Local Democracy Reporter

Current Nelson City councillor Tim Skinner has been endorsed by the Nelson Citizens Alliance for Nelson City mayor in the upcoming local government election.

The announcement was made at an NCA election launch event on Monday night alongside the organisation’s endorsements of nine other candidates standing for council. “We wanted to encourage a group of community-minded, democratic-thinking people to come forward to take this council in a new direction,” NCA convenor Neville Male said.

Alongside Tim, the NCA-endorsed candidates for council are current councillor Trudie Brand, Brook Waimārama Sanctuary volunteer Zoe Byrne, education consultant Murray Cameron, past Tasman Youth councillor Cleo Cowdrey, Kai With Love founder James Hodgson, former Stoke fire chief Allan Hoult, marine engineer Harry Pearson, restauranteur Mani Rai, and New Zealand Coastal

Seafoods founder Peter Win. “We just wanted good, feet-onthe-ground, solid community people who felt that they could work with other new councillors and between them come up with decisions that are going to be good for Nelson City,” Neville says.

Tim also approved of the NCA’s candidates for the election.

“This group here has shown me a new lease of life, I’ve never been more sure about something in my life.”

While the NCA is not a politi-

cal party, a central theme united the candidates: the belief that Nelson City Council no longer listens to its residents and a desire to promote democracy and community engagement.

“Three recent significant events demonstrate the absence of open democracy in Nelson’s current council,” launch master of ceremonies Jeremy Matthews said.

These three events are the council’s establishment of a Māori ward, the sale of 142 community houses to Kāinga Ora, and

mayor Rachel Reese and council chief executive Pat Dougherty’s support of the government’s Three Waters reform which were all, NCA argues, done without local consultation or support.

“Whether it was right or wrong inside the chamber, it came across badly to the public,” Jeremy said.

NCA sees this election as the time for change given many sitting councillors are not running for re-election, including deputy mayor Judene Edgar, Kate Fulton, Brian McGurk, Gaile Noonan, as well as Rachel choosing to not seek another term. “We think we’ve been extremely fortunate to have found this group of candidates who are prepared to stand up and commit their time and efforts to making Nelson a better city to live in,” Neville said.

Tim joins three other candidates for the mayoral election, including Kerry Neal, Rohan O’Neill-Stevens and Matt Lawrey.

A man has been successfully rescued after his vehicle became submerged in the Waimea River early on Monday morning.

At around 6:30am Police were alerted to a ute stuck in the water, near Appleby Bridge.

The water was reported to be up over the bonnet and rising.

The man sought refuge on the back of his ute while he waited for emergency services to attend.

He was successfully extracted by the Swift Water Rescue Team shortly after 7am.

The man had no apparent injuries, but was very cold and being checked over by ambulance staff.

Plans to recover the vehicle are underway.

Play Nelson Tasman proves popular KATE RUSSELL Nelsonians have come out to play these school holidays.

Following the success of the Adventure Challenge and the Summer Adventure Challenge, Nelson Regional Development Agency (Nelson Tasman NZ) have created two new games with the launch of a new platform called PLAY Nelson Tasman.

The aim is to inspire locals to get out and about and continue to support some of the region’s hard-hit businesses in the hospitality, retail and tourism industries.

The two new games - the Ultimate Adventure and the Winter Holiday Challenge include some of the region’s best kept secrets and focus on encouraging players to explore new places, try new things and discover the region’s hidden gems.

Since the games launched on 6 July, more than 800 teams have been involved in competing against one another on the leader board and participating in over 150 challenges spread across the region.

This includes 410 in the Ultimate Adventure and 493 in the Winter Holiday Challenge.

“Due to the popularity of the previous challenges, our team have reinvigorated the idea, turning the region into the biggest game yet and solidifying PLAY Nelson Tasman as an ongoing platform to continue to reward locals for supporting our local businesses” says NRDA chief executive, Fiona Wilson.

“We have had great support from the businesses we’ve engaged with so far and we are looking forward to seeing what our locals get up to over winter through these two new games and to continue to use this platform to support businesses in the region.”

Everyone who participates in PLAY Nelson Tasman is eligible to win one of the many prizes from the over $11,000 prize pool including four main prize packages.

Over 100 businesses have been included in the campaign, with exposure to many more through the range of activities suggested.

$2 million needed for coal tar fix KATE RUSSELL

A deep discovery of coal tar on Hastings St has forced Nelson City Council to tack on another $2 million to its Washington Valley infrastructure upgrade.

Coal tar, a by-product of the production of coke and coal gas from coal, was expected to be found in the top layer of the road surface, but it was also unexpectedly found at depths between 1.4m and 1.8m.

At a full council meeting last week, councillors approved unbudgeted additional capital funding of $2 million to cover the cost of disposing of the material.

So far, 315m3 of an expected 2100m3 has been removed to the York Valley Landfill.

“The additional $2 million cost covers landfill fees and the time and labour required for the contractor [Tasman Civil] to excavate and transport the material,” says council’s group manager of infrastructure, Alec Louverdis.

Typically coal tar was used in road construction in the mid1970s and the material may have been placed either when the reclamation of this area was undertaken or placed as backfill in the old sewer main trench.

Alec says it is likely that other pockets of coal tar may still be lo-

However, if the total amount is not spent, it will be declared as a saving on the project.

At the meeting, mayor Rachel Re-

Nelson College’s front field is the latest sports ground to fall victim to vandals, with someone driving onto the turf and ripping it up over the weekend. On Monday, a dedicated group including Alastair Cotterill (pictured), were down at the grounds of their own volition, hard at work getting the field back into tip-top condition ahead of Nelson College’s top-of-the-table clash with St Thomas of Canterbury College this Saturday.

ese asked why the coal tar wasn’t identified as part of the site investigation before the commencement of the project.

However, Alec says extensive testing of the site was undertaken.

“We did 19 tests for coal tar on

that section, but the coal tar that we found was in a different form - it wasn’t evenly distributed throughout the layers, it was in clumps … it’s one of those things that we potentially may never have known about.”

Alec says the project, which involves upgrading the pipes (stormwater, wastewater, water supply), utilities (telecommunications and power), lighting, and roading, is around 35 per cent complete and is now due to be completed in autumn 2023.

Installation of the new sewer line and utility lines is almost complete, and contractors are due to begin on the stormwater line.

Buying time for Nikki as she battles cancer SARA HOLLYMAN For Nikki Welsh, her focus is to live long enough to see her daughter walk down the aisle on 3 September.

“That’s my bucket list, my goal, it gives me a reason and a purpose to be here, I’ve just got to get there.”

Nikki was diagnosed with terminal cancer earlier this year, and although doctors can’t give her a timeframe, they say she doesn’t have long.

“I had no symptoms leading up to being diagnosed. That sort of made it a bit more like ‘hang on I haven’t been sick’,” she says.

Nikki is well-known in the community for her kind nature and ability to help others. She says she always has her “finger in the pie” when it comes to fundraising for others.

“I’m lucky that my job has been a really good vehicle and allowed me access to be able to help people.”

At Life Pharmacy Prices, formerly Prices Pharmacy, where she has worked as the business manager for the past 12 years, she is known affectionately by her co-workers as the “work mum”.

Nikki was camping with her fam-

ily in Kaiteriteri in January when she first had pain in the side of her chest. Thinking she better get it checked, she drove with her husband to Nelson Hospital where a blood clot in her lung was discovered.

“Obviously, that was a bit of a concern for someone who’s usually pretty healthy, so I had a CT scan and an x-ray. The next day I was diagnosed with cancer.”

At that stage doctors knew that it was in the stomach lining and the lungs but didn’t know where the cancer had originated. It was later found to be pancreatic cancer which Nikki says has no survival rate.

“That all hit home.”

The cancer has since spread to her bones, leaving Nikki in constant pain, which she says is nearly impossible to manage.

She says the hardest thing for her was having to resign from her job, which she loved.

“That team, we all treat each other like family, and it’s always been like that. We’ve always known if you’ve had a bad day you can go to work and somebody’s there that will make you feel better which has been great, I’m so proud of them.”

Although the journey is rough,

Nikki Welsh and sister Lee-Ann Johnston want to spend as much time with each other as they can. Photo: Sara Hollyman.

Nikki wakes up every day feeling grateful.

“Every day I get up and put my face on, do my hair, put my perfume, earrings and jewelry on. I wake up feeling like rubbish but as soon as I’ve had my shower and done all my bits, I feel much

better.”

She says people often say she looks amazing.

“I don’t feel amazing, but I like to take pride in how I look, that has got me through every day and made me grateful that I can still do it. My daughter is a make-up

artist and said, ‘mum when you get to the stage that you can’t do it, I’ll do it for you’.”

She says her family are “broken” following the shock diagnosis.

Work colleagues have organised a fundraiser to allow a member of Nikki’s family to take a day off work each week to spend with her. “I’ve got to the point that I don’t want to be alone, so to be able to pay them to be here with me would mean the world, they all have bills to pay and households to run.”

Nikki’s family is no stranger to tragedy, having lost her nephew to leukaemia two years ago and the death of her brother earlier this year. She also lost a close work colleague, young mum Chloe Mytton to cancer, as well as two other staff members passing away during the same time period.

“It’s been two years of just a really hard time,” Nikki says.

“I had staff coming in saying ‘I don’t know what’s wrong with me’, I had to explain to them that it’s grief they’re dealing with, and now they have to deal with this.

“Sometimes you just need a hug.”

Nelson man wins $1m on Instant Kiwi ticket A Nelson man “couldn’t stop shaking” after he noticed his Instant Kiwi ticket had made him an instant millionaire.

The man, who wishes to remain anonymous, has bought Instant Kiwi tickets from time to time over the years, and last Saturday picked up a $15 Scratch a Million Instant Kiwi game from the Black Cat Dairy in Annesbrook.

“I hopped into my car and began to play it right there in the

car park.”

He says he noticed that the very first number he scratched had won him a prize.

“I didn’t even finish scratching the rest of the game,” the man says.

“When I saw I had won the top prize, I started shaking all over. I checked the instructions on the back about four times.”

He then and took a photo of the game and sent it to his

daughter.

“I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.”

The man returned to the dairy he had just purchased the Instant Kiwi ticket from and claimed his prize.

“The Lotto lady was fantastic and knew exactly what to do.

She helped me fill in the prize claim form without delay. It was surreal to be honest.”

When he returned to the car, his daughter phoned.

Matt for Mayor Time for a reset at NCC

Matt for Mayor

Hi everyone, I’m Nelson City Councillor Matt Lawrey and I’m standing to be your next Mayor.

It’s no secret that the culture around our Council table isn’t as good as it should be. It’s one of the things holding the city back and it’s a problem that we’re going to have to solve if we’re going to get Nelson-Whakatū moving forward.

If I am lucky enough to be elected Mayor, I will...

1. Ensure that Councillors get time to get to know each other before the hard work begins.

2. Work with Councillors to come up with a list of projects we all agree on and then get on with it.

3. Reduce the destructive impact of Code of Conduct Complaints.

In theory, having a process for censuring elected reps who get out-of-line makes sense but, in reality, it’s a disaster for relationships around the Council table. I am convinced that having a Mayor who is committed to sitting down with aggrieved parties and working through their issues in a human way, to stop them from reaching the CoC process, will make a difference.

4. Go out of my way to reduce the chances of elected members being publicly humiliated. Humiliation is the nuclear bomb of emotions and people who suffer from it are vulnerable to making bad decisions. I’ve seen elected reps who have been humiliated make decisions that have hurt them and hurt the Council.

This isn’t to say that people shouldn’t be held to account. It just means that, while public life can be robust, it’s really important that conflict is resolved as quickly as possible and that everyone is treated with dignity.

5. Keep it real. Formality and respect are not necessarily the same thing. It never ceases to amaze me how formal so much of what we do at Council can be. It’s not a helpful vibe - not for the public and not for elected reps. We need to lighten the tone.

6. Give credit where credit is due. If I’m elected Mayor, I am not going to be shy about publicly celebrating my fellow elected reps’ successes.

7. Run shorter, crisper meetings that get the best out of councillors and staff. The best meetings are often the ones where the Chair speaks the least.

8. Be prepared to say ‘I’m sorry’ and to do it in public, if necessary. No one gets it right all of the time but you can’t expect Councillors to apologise when they stuff up if the Mayor doesn’t lead by example.

9. Make sure Councillors feel included. You can’t always invite everyone to everything but, whenever you can, you should.

10. Have regular, informal elected rep only sessions for people to touch base, share their thoughts and compare notes, starting with monthly Friday morning tea shouts in the Mayor’s Office.

Of course, culture change is a team sport but, for obvious reasons, the person who can make the biggest difference is the Mayor. That’s why it’s so important that the next person to lead Nelson City Council really understands this stuff and commits to doing something about it.

Find out more!

For more on how we can get the city and Council moving forward, visit mattlawrey.co.nz, find me on Facebook or call me on 027 406 3434.

Culture change: it starts with taking the time to connect.

Joy’s 52 years at the Cawthron Police

BARBARA STUART

At seventeen years old the young Joy Oakly began work at the Cawthron Institute as a trainee technician in chemistry.

In those days the Cawthron Institute did a lot of work for horticulture, Takaka soils, and she remembers they studied what kakapo were eating in Fiordland.

Fifty-two years later she’s still enjoys the work and is the longest serving staff member on the job which has taken her to a number of Pacific Island destinations auditing and setting up laboratory systems to meet international accreditation standards.

Joy’s family owned a shoe shop at Victory Square which her father began after the war. He had served under Basil Wakelin, the headmaster at Nelson College.

It was Basil who understood the academic talent of Joy and her brother, the late Peter Lamb, encouraging her parents to ensure they both got a good education.

Peter eventually becoming a meteorologist with a particular interest in climate relating to Africa at University of Oklahoma, with international acclaim for his work.

As part of Joy’s NZ Certificate of Science training she would travel across to Wellington for three months each year between 1971-73 for further study.

Joy Oakly started working at the Cawthron Institute 52 years ago. Photo: Supplied.

About that time the Cawthron Institute established commercial laboratories for industry and she moved to micro-biology.

They tested milk for the presence of antibiotics and even for water content as the odd farmer was adding it to bulk out their milk cheque.

Joy currently fills the role as the Quality Unit for this manufacturing process.

The study has found a very small amount of these toxins shows promise as a one-off pain treatment for children instead of using opiates, with the treat-

ment lasting up to three days.

Clinical trials were to begin with Boston University, but unfortunately this is on hold at the moment.

This is just a number of the remarkable studies at the Cawthron Institute utilising the vast oceans surrounding New Zealand which she has been “privileged” to follow in her long time on the staff.

They have identified seaweeds which when fed to cattle significantly reduce the amount of methane produced and there’s ongoing potential to find other species to benefit humans in the 1000 species of algae found to date off our coastline, plus the 130 different species of fish in NZ waters.

Joy was the quality manager for Cawthron’s Commercial Laboratories for many years and was responsible for maintaining the accreditation status of the labs.

Joy enjoys regular contact with Pacific Islands training science teams there and hopes to get to the Solomon’s again to audit their systems and to help them with further training.

Joy has written a manual to assist them.

It is a wonderful time for science and a rewarding career for young people who are interested, she says.

These days she enjoys the flexibility available to work part time. In her leisure time she enjoys a round of golf, cycling and socialising with friends.

‘appalled’ at speeding drivers Police have hit out at some Nelson drivers after a sting on Whakatu Drive over the weekend left them “appalled”.

The three hour sting on Friday and Saturday nights saw seven people processed for drink driving and another 12 issued notices for excessive speed and insecure loads.

Nelson Bays Road Policing Acting Senior Sergeant Tyson Martin says those caught speeding were often inexperienced young drivers breaching their licence conditions and carrying passengers.

Depending on the offence, a restricted or learner driver could be liable for an infringement fine, have their vehicle impounded or licence suspended.

He says police have previously detected high speeds in the area so will continue to target drivers who create a risk on the roads.

In the past year police have attended multiple crashes, as well as 119 reports of insecure loads on Whakatu Drive and the Richmond Deviation alone.

The grant of $15,476.52 will help the band purchase two brand new tenor horns to replace some of their aging instruments.

The band likes to provide its members with their instruments rather than expecting the members to foot the bill for the ‘notoriously expensive’ equipment.

“They’re seven or eight grand each, so it’s going to cover the bulk of the cost,” band secretary Wayne Jennens says.

Newer instruments have a better sound quality than older instruments that are around 20 years old which will assist the band in future competitions.

“The old ones were getting a bit cruddy,” band member Mike Ford says. “The valves aren’t working like they used to.”

Mike says newer instruments have been needed since the band has improved and the new horns will improve the

“As the band has got better and better, we’ve needed to upgrade our instrument stock.

We’ve got a couple of world class players,” he says. “The new ones will enable us to make the best of our technique and sound.”

“We play in the A Grade now, which is the top grade in the country,” Wayne adds. “It means the band can continue to play at the standard they’re at and maintain that standard.”

The band’s older instruments

will be filtered down to the junior band which is primarily made up of intermediate and college-aged kids.

Mike says the funding is a huge help as they run on “a bit of a shoestring budget”.

“We are extremely grateful to NZCT,” he says. “They are topof-the-line instruments.”

The grant from NZCT is part of June’s round of funding which saw just over $55,000 distributed around eight organisations in the Nelson Tasman region.

Nelson City councillors rejected the creation of a holding company for their investments in Port Nelson and the Nelson Airport.

The holding company, named Infrastructure Holdings Limited, would have been jointly owned with Tasman District Council and served primarily as a funding vehicle for the port and airport companies.

IHL would have joined the borrowing programme operated by the New Zealand Local Government Funding Agency as it would be entitled to as a council-controlled trading organisation.

This move would have allowed IHL to borrow funds from the LGFA on behalf of Port Nelson and Nelson Airport at lower margins than the two organisations would otherwise pay, but council rejected the holding company at its full council meeting last week.

Currently, Port Nelson and Nelson Airport service their debt requirements through ordinary bank borrowing from Westpac.

Port Nelson is unable to borrow from the LGFA due to its classification as a “port company” under the Port Companies Act 1988 and Nelson Airport does not have the scale to make borrowing from the LGFA economical.

However, the council projects that Port Nelson and Nelson Airport’s debt requirements and financing costs is likely to increase over the next decade or more as their infrastructure is upgraded. “The port is, infrastructure-wise, quite old,” Port Nelson’s chief executive officer Hugh Morrison said.

He added that while Port Nelson is capable of continued borrowing from Westpac, having access to funds from the LGFA with a lower interest rate would be ideal.

Council estimated that the reduced interest rate could have initially resulted in a yearly saving of $822,000 and eventually reached a saving of just under $2 million per annum by 2032, though it was warned these savings might not been seen in the first year or two due to establishment costs of the holding company. “Personally, I would rather deliver $800,000… back to the people of this region than pay it out to an Australian bank,” Mayor Rachel Reese said.

Councillor Brian McGurk had also supported the establishment of the holding company, saying it was standard practice for other local councils and gave examples of holding companies owned by councils in Marlborough, Timaru, Dunedin, and Invercargill. “They are really common and well-practiced,” he said.

However, the savings didn’t prove enticing enough for many councillors who voiced concerns about $233 million in uncalled equity capital as well as being further removed from the operations of Port Nelson and the Nelson Airport.

Tasman District Council had approved of the holding company earlier this month but now won’t be established without Nelson’s support. Nelson Airport chief executive Mark Thompson said he was “disappointed” the holding company proposal was now unlikely to proceed further.

FIRST TIME FOR SALE IN 38 YEARS! 3 COACH PLACE , BRIGHTWATER PRICE BY NEGOTIATION OVER $789,000

The vendor is committed to her next chapter, and I have been given clear instructions to sell the family home of nearly four decades.

Nestled in the quiet cul-de-sac of Coach Place, you have peace of mind knowing its safe and can let the kids run free, with the bonus of a playground across the road.

Although this home was built in the 1970s, there has been plenty of upgrades made such as re-cladding of the exterior and has been fully insulated. With a paved driveway with plenty of off-street parking hugging the left-hand side of the section, the house sits parallel to make the most of its large 883sqm section.

Open plan living is on offer, and there is easy access to a separate lounge complete with fireplace and heat pump. A cleverly designed

office is located off the lounge, and there are three spacious bedrooms located at the other end of the house to create smart separation from the living areas.

With an outdoor entertainment area to the western side of the house, you can soak up the afternoon sunshine in the peaceful surroundings. The large double garage has extended height as well as a carport. If you’ve got a caravan, boat or trailer, there will be no issue storing them out of sight here.

Opinion

Opinion Nick Smith ‘a good team player’

I was surprised to read a correspondent characterising Dr Nick Smith as divisive and inflammatory. My experience is quite the opposite.

My guess is they have never met, nor worked directly, with him in any professional capacity; likely the letter was sent because they support someone else. Such smearing puts experienced, risk aware directors off being involved in council elections.

I am a Christchurch-based governance professional. I have also been involved as a consultant over many decades in many organization reviews including your locally owned Network Tasman.

I have worked closely with Dr Smith as a board colleague and through the Institute of Directors. I have found him polite, professional, diligent and above all, respectful. My experience across hundreds of issues with some tough characters is that he is the one to be counted on for leading compromise and consensus.

He’s been a good team player and one I have found I can rely on.

I have read that the Nelson City Council has significant governance problems.

I can vouch from direct personal experience that Dr Smith has the right skills and aptitude to identi-

fy issues, fix problems, and bring people together positively.

Vincent Pooch Chartered Fellow NZ Institute of Directors

No to Three Waters

In my opinion, the current mayor of Nelson has demonstrated an apparent conflict of interest with Three Waters. While sitting on the committee to oversee its implementation, she has heard council submissions on the legislation. Nelson residents paid 26 million dollars, plus interest, for our excellent water treatment plant. That is just one reason why 87 per cent of the submissions on Three Waters from Nelson residents -- which the mayor was involved in despite her position with Three Waters and her apparent support for it -- opposed the giveaway of our water assets.

Other councils have called for a nationwide referendum on Three Waters, which our mayor opposes. Her opposition to the democratic process is one good reason she should resign from council.

Nelsonians adapting to library closure Thank you to the library staff for making books available (and easy!) to pick up at the city coun-

cil building, and for working out how to continue with other services. Much appreciated!

Mindi Picotte Why so slow, no private business would survive with such poor management. Ratepayers expect better.

Andrea Fensom Looking forward to the new library.

Nelson steps closer to joint district cemetery

A cemetery being 30km away, seriously such a great idea – not.

I mean the NCC and TDC are going to decide on a “cow paddock” either 30km from Nelson or 30km from Richmond. Talk about cheap and nasty.

Anton Hyman

Deputy mayor steps down

I’m sorry to see Judene go - she has given 110 per cent to the job and has always been well across

the issues. She’s been a very dedicated councillor and I say that as someone who may not have agreed with her on everything.

Best wishes for the future, especially in taking your play (inter) nationally.

Steve Cross You are one of the best Judene Edgar. Thanks you for everything you have done for our town.

Margaret Goff

Tim Skinner to run for mayor

Great news! Nelson needs a mayor that has experience, and is willing to stand up for the local community.

Flint Wood Am sure he will just push aside anyone who’s in his way.

Fran Beullens At least Trafalgar Park might get an upgrade instead of a library.

Operatunity is back!

Iconic Kiwi company and one of New Zealand’s leading arts organisations, Operatunity, is back and keen to get down to the business of making music! With the devastating impact of Covid Operatunity has had to rethink its concerts for 2022. “With planning taking up to six months in advance, we had to work out how we could provide music for our audiences with no idea when we would be out of the red setting”, says Managing Director and singer Susan Boland. So Concerts of Note was born.

This is an exciting new concert series, presented as special events in iconic venues and with limited audience capacity means they can go ahead at any alert level setting. “Many seniors have been locked down for months, if not years, and are suffering from isolation, so we are presenting an event like concert with lots of special extras and surprises. We want our audiences to feel really spoiled and loved and come away having had a great time”, Boland says. Over the coming months Operatunity will present three national concert tours giving audiences three different musical styles matching venues to the music: Sensational 60s at wedding and event venues,

a three tenors concert Music for Inspiration in beautiful churches and a Christmas Garden Gala at historic houses in their gardens.

Sensational 60s stars Kiwi icons Bonaventure Allan-Moetaua, Karl Perigo, Kelly Lim Harris and band. The venue will be dressed up 60s style and the concert will have a pulsating 60s feel with hits such as I’m a Believer, I heard it through the Grapevine, (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction, Bridge over Troubled Water, The Sound of Silence, The Twist, Hey Jude, Good Vibrations and so many more! “We wouldn’t be doing our job if we don’t get everyone up dancing and feeling like they have stepped back into the 60s!”, says singer Karl Perigo, “We can’t wait to be back singing again!”

Nelson audiences will enjoy a great 60s vibe on Thursday 18th August at Seifried Winery, where wine, tea and coffee and a selection of sweet and savoury refreshments will be served after the concert with the artists. The concerts will be at 10am and 2pm. For more information and to book please visit www.operatunity. co.nz or call toll free 0508 266 237.

Fun, exciting and a little bit rebellious, Nelson’s original dedicated burger joint Burger Culture are celebrating five years in business and sharing the love with their patrons.

Family owned and loyally local, owner Zoe Williams says there have been many highlights for the team, including hospitality awards, mini-festivals and community events, but what stands out the most is the people.

“We have been fortunate enough to have some amazing staff over the years and really, they are the lifeblood of any business, as well as our awe-

some regular customers we’ve gotten to know.”

Founded in 2017 by the Williams family, they say the key to their success is communication and hard work. No strangers to the hospitality industry, the family also own and run The Vic bar located next door.

Zoe says, with Ian and Sally at the helm the family has managed to successfully navigate their way through a tough few years in the industry. “They are just everything, to be honest. I know I’m bias, but they are genuinely the strongest people and all they do Burger Culture legends: Laura Rea, Amy Gardner, Chris Williams, Harry Stevens, David Ball, Meghan Zeller and Tommy Yarrall, circa 2018.

The business is very much a family affair, “which extends to our team as well. Really, the secret though is drive. We work hard and we are passionate about what we’re doing, for our families and customers.”

Wanting to thank their staff and

the wider community for their ongoing support, Zoe says, “First and foremost, a shout out to our staff. The ones at the beginning, now and in-between, you’ve all contributed to the success of this place and made it what it is.

Our many suppliers, partners and friends in business past and present, there are so many names,

but they know who they are, and we are so grateful to be working with such incredible people.

Also, our patrons have literally kept us going physically and mentally, and without them, we would have been shut a year ago.

We are so grateful that we get to carry on our dream and everything we do is

If you supply anyone with drinking water, then you could get caught by Buying or selling Developing or your property restructuring the new regulations under the Act. your property Buying or selling investment Financing The Act is part of the Three Waters properties Reforms and established the new regulatory body Taumata Arowai, which is responsible for the national enforcement and regulation of the supply of drinking water.

Who is captured: The Act places onerous obligations on deemed suppliers of drinking water. The definition of water supplier captures almost every person who has effective control over a water supply, with only single household self-suppliers exempt from compliance with the regulations. No single factor determines if someone has effective control, however factors include, control over funding, infrastructure and maintenance of the supply, as well as decision-making and whether the supplier is a landowner and has long term control of the land on which the infrastructure is based.

Suppliers that are captured include Councils, private community water schemes, persons who extract water from a bore and supply water to multiple dwellings located on a single property, small businesses that rely on rainwater supplies or a bore supplying a community hall.

What are the obligations under the Act: A supplier is responsible for registering the supply with Taumata Arowai. All suppliers must be registered by 15 November 2025. Although there is no fee upfront for

Nelson: 78 Selwyn Place, Nelson Ph: +64 3 548 8349 Richmond: 6 Oxford Stre t, Richmond Ph: +64 3 543 9090 www.pit andmo re.co.nz

registering the supply, there are costs involved in ensuring the supply complies with the regulations, as well as regular testing and other compliance measures. The supplier must also submit a drinking water safety plan, a source risk management plan and a multi-barrier drinking water plan, or comply with a Drinking Water Acceptable Solution (a draft of this has been issued by Taumata Arowai and is to be finalised in August 2022). The draft Drinking Water Acceptable Solution includes requirements for bores, treatment system requirements, operation and maintenance provisions including regular monitoring and testing which includes submitting samples to accredited laboratories, and incident and emergency management systems.

What happens if a supplier does not comply: Taumata Arowai hold the power to review and audit suppliers to ensure compliance. Penalties for non-compliance are significant, up to $50,000 for an individual and $200,000 for a body corporate or unincorporated body. If you are unsure whether or not you are going to be captured by the Act, or would like more information about the Water Services Act 2021 and the new Drinking Water Standards, contact us at Pitt and Moore.

Local running community remembers one of its greats JACK MALCOLM Barry Hunt will be remembered by friends, family and peers as a man who would give the shirt off his back for the sport he loved.

The running legend passed away aged 91 earlier this month, having lived a life full of helping others.

Having started his running career at 17 with Greymouth Athletic Club, Barry found almost instant success and a life-long love of the sport.

He finished third in the Greymouth Club Championship’s U19 100m and 200m, earning selection for the Mahar Cup, and would go on to form the Reefton sub-club with Cliff Belcher a year later.

What followed was almost 60 years of dedication to the sport, seeing him coach world champions, witness sporting history and help create dynasties.

“I have been an athlete, coach, selector, manager, time-keeper, been to world championships, Commonwealth Games and formed two clubs,” he said in a Waimea Weekly interview in 2018.

Barry attended six Commonwealth Games, five world championships, four world cups, two world juniors and an Olympic Games.

His work would be recognised with a Long Service Award from Athletics New Zealand in 2018 and the Halberg Lifetime

After looking to retire in the 2007/8 season, Barry was convinced to come back to the sport to help coach the emerging Alex Jordan. In just three years of working with Barry, Alex would shave almost seven seconds from his 400m time before winning his first of three national titles in the space of four years.

Barry had watched him go from a “rugged and strong boy” with “poor arm movements and no stride length” to winning the New Zealand Open 400m and being ranked in the top ten for his age in the world.

Barry also dedicated his time off track to improving the quality of life for runners in the region.

Between 1998 and 2006, he was instrumental in petitioning for an all-weather track at Saxton Sports

Grounds, attending 16 council meetings across both Nelson and Tasman.

In a tribute, local National Academy of Distance Running coach, Greg Lautenslager, said Barry, with his ever trusty stopwatch in hand, was the first person he met at his first local event.

“During the next 20 years, Barry Hunt taught me - like the hundreds of athletes he mentored about the sport, about coaching, about New Zealand, and about life.

“He never took a cent for his services and held true to his convictions, not afraid to back down to criticism he offered merely for the sport’s benefit.

“How could you not admire someone who gave his heart and soul to the sport.”

Achievement Award, awarded to just one person each year, in 2019.

By Barry’s side through it all was his trusted companion and wife, Mavis, who was also instrumental in helping guide young runners to reach their potential.

Self-described as the ‘mother of the team’, Mavis dedicated her days to the track as a time-keeper, an official or helping her husband with his training.

The couple moved to Nelson in 1995 after retiring.

Within a year, Barry was already

coaching and developing athletics in the region and was instrumental in forming the Tasman Tigers for league competitions and nationals.

He instantly got to work and found seven other coaches while simultaneously being the president of Athletics New Zealand between 1998-99, before being awarded life membership in 2000.

The Tasman Tigers would go on to win the second division South Island League in 1998 and record three top-five finishes in the National League Finals.

MARLBOROUGH CLUB WINS TASMAN TROPHY: Celebrations were in full swing for Central fullback Riaihe Rangihaeta after his team won premier rugby’s Tasman Trophy with a resounding 33-7 win over Kahurangi. Having been the in-form team all season, Central proved they are the best in the Top of the South as they ran in five tries to one to lift the trophy in front of their home crowd in Blenheim. Kahurangi captain Manu Parkin was full of praise for their rivals following the game, saying it’s not a nice feeling having fallen just short in the final for the second year running. A try late in the piece highlighting his team’s heart to fight to the end, salvaging some pride out of the tough loss. Photo: Gavin Hadfield/Shuttersport.

Nelson swimmers selected for Virtus Oceania Asia Games Nelson South Swim Club’s Finn Russ is part of a Kiwi team blazing a trail for other Para swimmers, both in the region and nationally – carrying the youth portion of his local club.

In November, the 15-year-old will compete in the Virtus Oceania Asia Games in Brisbane alongside clubmate Helen Mackay and local Para swimmer Jack Bugler – supported by Finn and Helen’s club coach Glen Findlay.

Being the youngest competitor from the region, Russ has youth on his side as he makes his debut for New Zealand.

The group has been selected from throughout the country to compete at the international swimming event which is known globally as one of the largest events for athletes living with an intellectual impairment.

Finn - who is sponsored by Trailways Hotel, Savage & Savage Chartered Accountants, and NZ Lifebrokers, with support from Pics Peanut Butter and F45 Nelson - has been preparing locally with Glen, along with attending a

Glen says Finn has had a quick rise to success in the sport.

“Finn’s progress over the last

three years has been phenomenal.

“Starting in a learn-to-swim environment as a 12-year-old, Finn

had an immediate connection with the water.

“He now swims in our top performance squad, preparing for

national and international events, training up to eight sessions per week.”

New Zealand’s team manager, multi-Paralympic medalist Cameron Leslie, says the event provides an opportunity for swimmers with an intellectual impairment to have a pathway to compete at an international level.

“Finn and the other Nelson-Marlborough Para swimmers are part of something special. This is the first time there has been a pathway for them to an international team specific for S14 (the classification given to swimmers with an intellectual impairment who meet the criteria) Para swimmers.

“The Oceania Asia Games is a multi-sport event for people who have a classification in this category and is the first step for our swimmers to experience competing at a global event. I have no doubt, Finn, Helen, Jack, and Glen will represent their region and country with pride, putting their best foot forward in an environment tailored to their needs.”

Nelson hosts national hockey comp Nelson hosted the Vantage U18 women’s tournament last week with a young Tasman side finishing 16th in the 21 team competition.

Wellington 1 won the final 3-1 over Hawke’s Bay, with two goals in the final quarter breaking a 1-1 deadlock.

Former ACOB players face off on international stage JACK MALCOLM All-rounder Paul van Meekeren has the bragging rights over his old teammate Marty Kain after he played a crucial part in the Netherlands victory over America in a T20 World Cup qualifier.

The former ACOB pair say it was a pleasant surprise to find out they would be up against an old club mate on the other side of the world, with the match played in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe.

“Only in the last few weeks I realised I’d be playing against old club friend Pauly,” says Marty.

“I’m very proud to represent Uuited States of America any time I get to play.

It was always a dream to play international cricket.”

Paul says he hadn’t kept touch with Marty but it was exciting to see a familiar face in the fold when he saw the team sheets.

“With social media, it’s been very easy to follow his progress, and it’s awesome to see him getting the rewards that he deserves.”

Paul van Meekeren and Marty Kain together in Zimbabwe before they faced off in a T20 World Cup qualifier for the Netherlands and USA respectively. Photo: Supplied Marty was last in Nelson just prior to Covid closures in 2019, playing one game for ACOB, and now plays in America.

“I represent the San Diego SurfRiders and I also had a good national tournament, which helped me gain national selection.”

As a left-handed all-rounder, he was not called on to bowl and was dismissed for a golden duck batting seventh.

Paul last played locally in the 2012/13 season and is now based in Bristol, playing for the Gloucestershire County Cricket Club.

He’s been a member of the Dutch team for the last 10 years and says it was because the coach saw talent in him.

“It’s always an honour to represent the orange jersey. There are not many countries that are as easy to recognise as the Dutch.”

Paul did not bat, with his team winning by seven wickets in chasing down the 138 set by the USA. He took the wicket of opener Steven Taylor after USA had raced away to a 51-run first wicket partnership with his first delivery of the game and rounded off his performance with another wicket, caught-and-bowled.

The Netherlands won the game with seven wickets in hand on the final ball of the 18th over on the back of 91 notout from Bas de Leede.

Stoke book home final JACK MALCOLM Division two front-runners Stoke will play host to Riwaka in the final after they beat Waimea Old Boys Colts 3724.

After the two teams drew 17all earlier in the season, it’s all to play for next weekend at Greenmeadows.

After finishing top of the regular season leader board, Stoke was always going to be a challenge for Waimea and the team came out the gate to prove that.

They raced out to an unanswered 12-point lead by halftime on the back of several well-worked tries.

Waimea finished the half battering against the Stoke line, but were unable to walk away with points against a resilient defence.

The Stoke scrum was dominant throughout, with several tightheads at key moments changing the momentum.

Waimea often took the choice of scrum from the penalty spot, but their attack suffered from untidy ball under the pressure.

The second half started and looked like Stoke had taken control of the game as they scored quickly into the piece with a runaway try to prop Liam Ingerson, but Waimea fought back.

They scored first with a series of hard runs to get to the line through number 8 and captain Jeen Salton before prop Dylan Crawford rumbled

Waimea were kept in the game thanks in large part to the boot of fullback Jaxon Taikato, who used his massive kick to keep Stoke pinned in their own half.

After fighting back into the game, Stoke put their foot down with a great set piece try to winger Keegan Thomas from an attacking 22m scrum.

They then drove the game beyond doubt with a series of short passes to capitalise on an overlap with flanker Ryan Green dotting the ball down for his team’s fifth try.

Waimea would fight back

with two tries of their own but Stoke kept their scoreboard ticking over with a series of penalties to never be in doubt.

Stoke coach Johnny Little says that it was a tough game, but Waimea struggled after a midweek game earlier in the week.

“They brought it to us. But I think three games in a week is what showed and they’re closer than that to us.”

He says his team has prided themselves on their defence this season, but Waimea also brought their A-game.

“They’re a younger side than us and we’ve got that good solid scrum. It was a good

tough team effort.”

Waimea coach Rik Taikato says the boys were sore after their game earlier in the week, but didn’t want to make excuses. “I thought we sat back on our haunches a bit in the first 10-15 minutes.

The message at halftime was to be more physical at rucks.”

He said the message worked, and they were able to start finding success.

“We climbed right back into the game. We were with it till they scored those two tries and then we were chasing.”

Rik says Josh Flowers at second five-eighth had an outstanding game, but it was a team effort.

Suburbs fall to table-toppers ANDREW BOARD A classy Christchurch United put Nelson Suburbs to the sword at Saxton Field on Sunday.

The visitors scored five unanswered goals to hold their lead at the top of football’s Southern League.

Nelson started the brighter of the two sides in front of a strong crowd in perfect conditions but on the half hour mark, Christchurch United were awarded a free kick on the edge of the box, which Edward Wilkinson expertly placed inside the right-hand post and from that moment on the visitors looked in control.

Joel Peterson made it 2-0 just five minutes later, calmly shooting inside the far post.

Once again Suburbs started the better of the two sides after the half time break and a rocket header from Eddie Sillars from a corner kick was well kept out by the Christchurch ‘keeper.

But that was as close as Suburbs got to a goal.

Joel Peterson scored his second of the game before Mika Rabuka scored a late brace.

For Suburbs, there were moments of nice play, particularly from Ross McPhie and Ben Polak in the middle of the park. La Bu Pan was creative early and Hamish Cadigan was assured at centre back. Christchurch United remain top of the Southern League with 37 points, Cashmere Tech are on 34 and Suburbs are in third place on 23 points.

WANTED TO BUY CASH PAID FOR

The Clifton Terrace School Board of Trustees invites applications from parents who wish to enrol their sons and daughters for 2022/23 who live outside the enrolment zone. Enrolment at the school is governed by an enrolment scheme, details of which are available on the school website www.cliftontce.school.nz.

Families who wish to apply should do so in writing addressed to Rob Wemyss stating the child’s full name, date of birth and current address.

The deadline for receipt of applications for out-of-zone places is Fri 29 July. Parents of students who live within the home zone should also apply by this date to assist the school to plan appropriately for next year. The board has determined that 15 places are likely to be available for outof- zone students for the next year. Preference will be given to those children who will be, or are currently in the Year 1- 3 age group. The exact number of places will depend on the number of applications received from students who live within the school’s home zone. Please note that other age groups will be considered as well.

If the number of out-of-zone applications exceeds the number of places available, students will be selected by ballot. If a ballot is required it will be held on Fri 5 August 2022. Parents will be informed of the outcome of the ballot within three school days of the ballot being held.
