Caution urged after crashes MAX FRETHEY Local police are urging motorists to take extra care on the roads after an “unprecedented” number of crashes in the region over the last fortnight.

Tielyr Saige Ayrton, 17, was

killed in a car crash in the early hours on Sunday, 13 March. The car she was driving hit a tree near the intersection of Rutherford and Examiner Sts. Two others were seriously injured in the incident.

The crash was the first of at least

12 crashes over a horror period spanning 10 days.

On Saturday, 19 March, a vehicle overturned on Muritai St in Tāhunanui. St John treated one patient in a moderate condition who was then transported to Nelson Hospital.

Two days later, on Monday, 21 March, saw at least five crashes across the Nelson Tasman region including a fatal crash on Dominion Rd, Mahana, that evening.

There was a crash in Redwood Valley, which saw two patients receive minor injuries and an-

other moderate injuries. The others were in Richmond, Hira and another near Belgrove.

The next day, Tuesday, 22 March, a crash on SH6 near Hira saw one person transported to hospital

Pools open for pooches Dogs of all shapes and sizes made a splash at Nayland Park Pool for their annual Doggy Day Out last weekend. The day, which bookends the pool’s summer season, gives dogs free reign to enjoy the refreshing pool water before it is emptied for winter. Officials at the event said it was one the biggest attendances they can remember, with $100 in gold coin koha being donated to the Second Chance Foundation, who help dogs in need in the Nelson Tasman region.

That same day saw another fatal crash along the Coastal Highway near its intersection with Gardner Valley Rd. One person died at the scene of the threecar-crash while St John transported two other patients, one in a serious condition and one in a moderate condition, to Nelson Hospital.

Wednesday, 23 March saw another spate of incidents.

A crash on the Richmond Deviation around 7am and another on the Appleby Bridge later in the day didn’t result in any injuries.

However, a crash on Gladstone Rd in Richmond in the afternoon saw three people transported to hospital in a moderate condition.

Hamish says that motorists can do a lot keep themselves and others safe on the road.

“Make sure your seatbelt is on, make sure your phone is away,”

he says. “Have a bit of patience on the road and be aware of the road conditions.”

It is important to keep in mind the potential actions of other drivers, Hamish says, even if you are a good driver.

“Be aware of the unpredictability of other road users.”

Despite the recent number of in-

cidents, Hamish does think the region’s locals are good drivers.

“Nelson drivers on the whole are prudent motorists,” he says.

“The messaging that I’m getting from my staff is that there isn’t undue concern about the quality of Nelson drivers.”

A number of the crashes occurred on state highways, which are managed by Waka Kotahi.

System manager for the Top of the South, Andrew James, says that Waka Kotahi has made steps to make state highways in the region safer.

“A median safety barrier has been installed on the Richmond Deviation in recent weeks,” he says.

“State Highway 6 Blenheim to Nelson was the subject of a major speed review in recent years which resulted in lower speeds and, to date, a much lower crash rate.”

Tāhunanui priority lanes proposed for this year KATE RUSSELL Despite an outcry from local residents last year, Waka Kotahi is planning to progress design plans for the Bisley Ave/ Tāhunanui Dr southbound lane reinstatement with construction proposed to start this year.

In an update to Nelson City Council’s regional transport committee on Tuesday, Waka Kotahi stated it plans to progress the design for the project this winter.

“We will engage with directly affected businesses. Subject to design and engagement, construction is expected late 2022,” the update read.

Adding priority lanes down Tāhunanui Dr and Waimea Rd is part of the Nelson Future Access Project, which aims to solve Nelson’s transport woes with a range of measures over the next 30 years.

The Waka Kotahi board endorsed the detailed business case in December following endorsement by the council last October.

However, the Tāhunanui community is now preparing to file a judicial review against Waka Kotahi over the plans for their suburb.

The most recent map from Waka Kotahi showing where priority lanes are proposed to run down Tāhunanui Dr. Image: Supplied.

Jac Stevenson and Paul Matheson of the Tāhunanui Village Safety Society Incorporated engaged solicitor Nigel McFadden last year and a letter was sent to Waka Kotahi in December, citing safety concerns.

They say that clearways were taken out of the same stretch of road in 2007 because it was “dangerous”.

Paul says they are “diving deep” and they have appointed an independent transport engineer.

“We’re gathering as much material as we can and stacking up all our evidence. We’re not giving up.”

Emma Speight, Waka Kotahi director regional relationships, Top of the South, told Nelson Weekly that they will be starting the planning of the engagement in the coming months, and have “not got a specific number of affected businesses yet”.

She says any feedback received throughout this process, including feedback from Tāhunanui Village Safety Society Incorporated, will be considered “alongside the technical considerations”.

The cost of the work and the time taken to complete it will be dependent on the measures proposed, she added.

“Once we have a better idea of what is being proposed we can talk about how it will be constructed, and we will have a better idea of the cost.

“In all our projects, if we can work off-peak or overnight to minimise disruption, we will do so if it can be done safely and effectively.”

Battery-related rubbish fires on the rise SARA HOLLYMAN Fires in rubbish trucks and processing facilities are on the rise as people continue to dispose of batteries in their rubbish and recycling.

More 40 fires have started in landfills, recovery centres and rubbish trucks over the past year, with more than 10 tonnes of recycling having to be sent to landfill following a recent fire at the Materials Recovery Facility in Richmond.

The Richmond plant, which is run by Smart Environmental, was shut for three days while damaged machinery was repaired.

That closure meant that half of all kerbside recycling during that period had to go directly to landfill. Investigators believe this latest fire was again caused by a lithium-ion battery from a discarded cellphone. Fires of this nature are becoming increasingly common.

Richmond chief fire officer Craig Piner says over the past year there have been fires in both rubbish trucks and recovery facilities in Nelson, Richmond, Blenheim and Golden Bay. “Disposal of lithium-ion batteries are the issue, when you put it in the bin at home it’s all rather gentle, then when the rubbish truck picks it up it can get knocked around and it then gets compacted, which can damage the battery.”

He says this damage is more severe as the discarded battery reaches its disposal destination, being run over by machinery and heavily compacted.

“Essentially the damage separates the positive and negative parts of the battery, there’s a very thin separation between the two parts and when the insulation gets damaged it creates heat. As part of that reaction lithium-ion creates its own oxygen, which cre-

Tasman operations manager Andy Cardwell says the battery disposal situation is becoming a real problem.

He says in the latest emergency it

was fortunate that quick work by firefighters managed to contain the flames to a relatively small area.

“If it had spread into the recycling that was waiting to be processed, the result could have been cata-

strophic with potentially toxic fumes being released.”

Craig says people throw away all sorts of things including chemicals, which can turn the fires into something even more dangerous.

“A more recent one was in the back of a rubbish truck so the best way to deal with it is to empty the truck. When we did that there was a whole lot of pool chemicals, chlorine etc. All of a sudden, you’ve gone from a simple battery fire to something quite significant.”

He says the fires then become quite labour-intensive and end up taking crews away from their jobs, families and other emergencies for quite some time.

Andy says it is crucial that people think about the way they dispose of old electronics – often known as ‘e-waste.’ Batteries can be dropped off free of charge at most Council Service Centres and all five Resource Recovery Centres.

Kindys hit hard by Covid KATE RUSSELL Some early childhood centres in Nelson are feeling the full force of Covid-19, with one kindergarten seeing nearly 80 per cent of their roll affected over the course of two weeks.

Matangi Āwhio Auckland Point Kindergarten has only had 12 families out of 53 who have been unaffected by the current Omicron outbreak.

“During the weekend of 5 March, we had 11 calls about positive cases in children,” says head teacher Michelle Dons. “My phone just kept going off and we had one child in hospital. It was quick and it made it so real, so fast.”

For that week they only had a roll of ten children - normally they have 45 to 50 per day.

They have also had four positive cases within staff, with another two having to isolate.

“It was really stressful and emotional knowing that everyone was sick,” Michelle says. “The logistics were hard, but the worry was worse.”

Early childhood teachers are only required to wear masks when they are in contact with parents.

“In our setting, it’s hard to stay away from each other.”

Michelle says they are just getting back to some sense of normality now, and as hard as it’s been, it’s brought the kindergarten community closer together.

“Our community has been incredible - parents checking on other parents, delivering care packages and kai.”

Nelson Tasman Kindergartens chief executive, Craig Vercoe, says the association has seen a significant number

of positive cases within their kindergartens across the region.

“It has caused a real disruption with around a quarter of our 300-plus staff affected in some way. We have seen significant temporary roll decreases in a lot of our kindergartens as they manage isolation periods.”

YKids Early Childhood Education Centre on St Vincent St has also been hit hard.

Manager Yasna Keys says over half of their enrolled

children have either been away as a positive case or a household contact.

“One day we had 48 children away and six staff have tested positive but have now recovered, but we managed okay because of our low numbers.

“We had two really bad weeks, but I think we’ve hit our peak and are now coming back down. It’s been hard, it puts a lot of pressure on everyone.”

Nissa Mowjood, who owns and manages three Montessori preschools in Nelson, says the biggest challenge for the sector at the moment is finding relieving teachers. At one of her preschools, three out of the four teachers tested positive, leaving her having to fall back on relievers.

“It is a very challenging time, but everyone has been coming together to make it work.”

She says their case numbers have not been too high at this point.

“So far, parents have been amazing at keeping children home if they have any symptoms and some families have chosen to just stay home and see what happens.”

Council service centre forced to close

Nelson City Council’s customer service centre was forced to close over breaktimes this week due to staff isolating at home. Council said on Friday that two of their staff from the CSS were isolating and warned that there may be delays responding to phone calls, emails and providing counter service as a result. By Monday a third staff member was isolating and the doors were closed for an hour at 1pm to allow desk duty staff to have a break. “More staff may test positive in the coming days, and further delays or closures are likely.”

Flooding at Whakatu Drive roundabout

Water flooded Whakatu Drive and Quarantine Rd in Nelson from the roundabout that connects the two roads on Monday.

Initially, Nelmac workers on site weren’t sure what the exact problem was but were working to fix the issue.

One lane of the Whakatu Drive/Quarantine Rd roundabout was closed, causing some congestion at the site.

Relay For Life - your way

More than 25 teams have so far signed up for the Nelson Cancer Society fundraiser Relay for Life - Relay Your Way. The regular event was unable to be held due to Covid-19 restrictions but teams can register at www.relayforlife.org.nz to take part in their own event to raise much-needed funds for the cancer society. “Our goal is $100,000 and we are at $50k so far,” says Nelson Cancer Society manager, Michelle Hunt.

Nelson GP retires after 35 years KATE RUSSELL After 35 years of looking after Nelsonians, local GP Shaun McKenzie-Pollock is hanging up his stethoscope.

Shaun has been at Nelson Family Medicine for 27 years, and before then spent eight years as a GP in Motueka.

In fact, the 66-year-old has been serving the region as a GP for so long, some of his current adult patients he delivered as babies.

“I don’t know how that happened, it just snuck up on me,” Shaun says.

“That’s the benchmark if you’ve been practicing for a long time.

You get a real bond with your patients.”

Medicine is in the blood for Shaun, as both his parents were international doctors.

He was born in India and spent time living in the Middle East before moving to Boston, where his father further trained at Harvard University.

Shaun went on to train at Otago University before completing his junior doctor years at Nelson Hospital.

The father of four met his wife Sharon at medical school and the couple spent time working over-

seas.

“We were the sole doctors in an island called Barra in the Hebrides. That was exciting. Then we were on the east coast of the North Island in Te Puia Springs, a remote area.”

Shaun says he saw a different spectrum of disease at the beginning of his career.

“Rheumatic fever was still around in the east coast, and we saw a bit of tuberculosis, which you just don’t see now.”

They moved to Motueka in 1988, where Shaun worked at Inglis Street Medical.

“We came to Nelson in 1995 to 125 Collingwood St. In that era, doctors tended to be sole practitioners, a corner dairy sort of model.”

Another GP, Andy Dawson, was in a separate section of the practice, so they decided to join forces across the road at 132 Collingwood St. The practice has grown to nine doctors with Sharon now working in the management side of the business.

Shaun cut back his hours about two years ago, but says retirement was calling.

“I’ve enjoyed every minute of the job, but at some stage you’ve got

“I’ve got excellent health and I want to have an active retirement. Nothing is pushing me, it’s a jump rather than a push.”

Shaun’s last day is 31 March, but he will stay on to do aviation medicals as he is one of the few

GPs in Nelson approved to do them.

He says he is looking forward to spending more time mountainbiking, swimming, and sailing, as well as planting native bush on the family’s land at The Glen and working on a trapping programme for pest control.

“Our first grandchild has also just arrived, so that’s quite a big thing.”

Shaun says he has been “humbled” by the cards and gifts patients have been dropping off.

“It’s emotional, and I’ll be sorry, I’ve got a real tie to the district.

But I would do it all again.”

Councillors question library project

THIS

WEEK’S SPECIALS

ERIN BRADNOCK Local Democracy Reporter

Nelson City Council will move forward with community engagement on a proposed new library next month but hesitant councillors question if they should have a site locked in before consulting with the public.

Council agreed to move forward with public engagement on the library development last Wednesday. Council confirmed its preferred option to build a new library on the corner of Halifax and Trafalgar Sts during Long Term Plan deliberations last year.

Ten months on, the build on the riverside precinct site, then estimated at a cost of $44 million, still remains just an option.

Councillor Mel Courtney was the first to take issue with community engagement proposed for next month, as negotiations are still underway for the preferred site.

Library redevelopment project manager, Alice Heather, presented the engagement strategy, explaining the purpose of the first stage of engagement. “We’re engaging the community on what are the opportunities, the experiences that are important to them,” she said.

Group manager community services, Andrew White, said it’s crucial the public understand initial engagement is less about the site or design, but about finding out the needs and possibilities for the build from the community.

“We don’t want to create an expectation in the community that the site negotiation is done and dusted until we’ve completed negotiations with Wakatu (Incorporation) and

Land negotiations for Nelson’s new library have yet to be settled ahead of public consultation on the development opening next month. Photo: File. have a favourable conclusion.”

Councillor Tim Skinner echoed Mel’s concerns, stating he believed engagement on the build should be delayed until after the election due to the library build being a “topical topic”.

“Do we not think, with the election so close, that we’re going to be creating a bit of a fireball of debate and discussion leading up to the election and the decision may change with a new council,” he said.

Mayor Rachel Reese was quick to shoot down the idea of further delay, stating there was strong elected-member support for a library development during Long Term Plan deliberations.

“You are expected to earn your money, team, you’re not elected to a two-and-a-half-year term, it’s a three-year term,” she said.

The first stage of engagement will open next month from 21 April until June and that feedback is anticipated to inform the needs and design of the library.

Council will crack down on Airbnb’s ERIN BRADNOCK

Local Democracy Reporter

In response to desperate pleas from the local accommodation sector, Nelson City Council has agreed to proactively enforce existing rules on online accommodation providers like Airbnb.

The council voted unanimously to enforce bed and breakfast regulations set up under Nelson’s Resource Management Plan.

Under the plan, bed and breakfast providers who do not reside at the property must acquire resource consent.

On Wednesday, council admitted it was not enforcing the rule.

“We do have a duty to respond,” said Nelson mayor Rachel Reese.

Century Park Motor Lodge owner and Nelson’s chair for Accommodation Association New Zealand, Stacie Warren, raised the issue of non-compliant online accommodation providers in front of the council, during a public forum on Wednesday.

Warren had raised the same concern to the council in September 2020 during the council’s Long Term Plan deliberations.

However, unsatisfied with the lack of progress from the council and a council report unfavour-

able to Hospitality NZ’s findings, Warren readdressed councillors on Wednesday with updated data.

According to data presented, in January 2022 there were 468 listings of entire properties for short-term letting listed in Nelson on Airbnb, an 89.4 per cent growth from listings available in May 2017.

Warren compared the figure to the 68 homes listed available for rent on TradeMe. She says while the issue of noncompliant homes listed online has been ongoing, the impact of Covid-19 on the accommodation sector is what pushed her to bring the matter to council.

“I understand the need for these short-term providers, but these properties are able to skip the healthy homes standards because they are not in the rental pool.

They don’t even have to have a smoke alarm,” Warren told Local Democracy Reporting.

Nelson MP Rachel Boyack spoke in support of Warren’s presentation during council’s public forum, focusing on the impact the rising number of homes listed on these sites has on the housing crisis.

“There’s an irony here that we’ve got Airbnb and whole homes be-

Tāhunanui Train line to be extended Nelson Society of Modellers have put the call out for all hands on deck as they prepare for extensive changes to the existing rail line. Around 300 metres of new line will be added, with 160 additional metres relayed and two bridges relocated as they change the track’s layout, says club president Richard Satherley.

“It’s an ongoing thing. . . it’s a hostile environment for steel at the beach.”

The club is awaiting the results of funding applications before work can start, but they are keen to hear from anyone who wants to chip in.

“Anyone who wants to help out and see it up and running again.”

The club estimated the project would cost $20,000, but fluctuating steel prices mean they won’t know how much it will cost until they get underway.

As part of their fundraising, they are running a ‘sponsor a sleeper’ programme where the public can purchase a $10 sleeper for the renovations and have their name on an acknowledgement board.

Schools cautious over vaccine mandate removal MAX FRETHEY

Local school principals are cautious about embracing vaccine mandate removal for the education sector, which will come into effect on April 5.

Nelson College principal Richard Dykes says he was pleased to hear the news.

“We’re glad to see the end of [the mandates].”

He says they were necessary to limit the spread of Covid-19 but were also a complicating factor.

Richard, who is also the president of the Top of the South Principals Association, says that each school will be in a different situation following the announcement and will react according to their specific circumstances.

As for the changes to gath-

the increasing limits for gatherings. Under the changes in the rules, indoor limits will be increased from 100 to 200 and outdoor limits will be removed entirely.

“It’s going to allow our community to come back onto school grounds,” Symon says.

“I do sense that there’s a genuine excitement about having that closer connection with our communities.”

Victory Primary School principal Dan George says he’s also in support of the Government’s announcement.

He says they lost two staff members because of the introduction of the vaccine mandates. “We definitely wouldn’t object to having them back on staff.” Dan says it seems like they’re seeing a plateau in cases at the school.

ering limits, Richard says it won’t have an immediate impact on Nelson College.

“We’re not going to rush back into full contact.”

Hira School principal Symon Beattie is slightly more cautious about the removal of vaccine mandates from education given that Nelson Marlborough is still seeing a large number of daily Covid cases.

“The removal of mandates was expected,” he says. “It just feels a little bit early the way our region is tracking.”

Symon, who is also the deputy chairperson of Nelson Principals Association, wonders if the removal of vaccine mandates should potentially be staggered by region.

“Removing it blanketly so quickly seems a bit clumsy.”

He does, however, welcome

In the 1950s and 1960s, a lot of development occurred to electrify the Tasman area. Power authorities of the time built about 1200km of new high voltage power lines to bring electricity to many people who had never had it before.

Over sixty years later, it’s time to replace some of these wires in order to keep our network safe. The ones we are replacing are made from light-gauge copper, which, like anything, can wear out over time – mostly through a process called annealing that can cause them to become brittle.

Replacing wires is a difficult job that involves the use of heavy machinery and crews of line workers spread over multiple work sites. This makes it unsafe to do the work at night time.

It also involves working on long spans of line, which means large numbers of people may be affected and more than one planned temporary power outage may be required to complete each job.

Unfortunately some consumers will have their power interrupted more often than they are used to while we replace the wires. Sometimes we will be able to use one of our large generators to keep the power on but most of the time this won’t be possible because of the way the network is built.

Electricity account owners of affected properties will be notified of upcoming outages, as we do for all of our planned outages.

The wire replacement work will be spread over the next ten years in pockets located throughout most of our network area and it will take place alongside our normal routine maintenance programme.

While the work will cause some inconvenience, it will keep the network in good condition so that a safe and reliable electricity supply continues to be available for all consumers in the Network Tasman region.

Nelson’s history overdue for a move Erin Bradnock Local Democracy Reporter

Drip buckets and sandbags should soon become precautions of the past for the team at Isel Park’s archives research and collections facility as plans for a $12 million city centre build come to fruition.

Nelson Provincial Museum chief executive Lucinda Blackley-Jimson says the “rabbit warren” of the Isel Park site has long outgrown the museum facilities, which was built in 1978.

“This has been on the drawing board for over 20 years since the

need for a new build was first identified,” says Lucinda.

The site neighbouring Isel House has weathered flooding and leaks with mould and heavy rain events triggering staff anxiety for the precious taonga stored inside.

Storage capacity was first recognised to reach a “critical point” in a storage requirement report in 1995.

Currently, 200,000 items piecing together the region’s history are cared for by the museum and stored over three sites, including Isel Park.

The team at the research facility hope the new, bigger build set for

Church St, estimated at a cost of $12 million, will bring some cohesion to the archives.

Kaitiaki taonga Māori Hamuera Robb says they are doing what they can to keep taonga organised.

However, due to capacity restrictions some items of significance are not able to be stored in accordance to tikanga Māori.

“Items that are tapu, or more sacred, are being stored next to things that are noa, less sacred, which should not really be together. It’s not ideal,” says Hamuera.

Collections leader Shae Trewin

Roadside memorial stolen again Jo kEnT A cross which marked the spot where Nicky Edwards’ dad was fatally injured in a car accident in February 2020 has been stolen for a third time. The cross was placed at the Lord Rutherford Road intersection with SH6 in Brightwater after being given approval by Waka Kotahi for it to be there.

“The first time it went missing, I thought it must have been taken away in error by an official, but when it happened a second time, I knew it must be someone being malicious,” Nicky says. “For it to happen a third time is a total punch in the guts.”

Nicky’s dad Kevin was well-known and loved by everybody who knew him.

“The day of the accident, dad was on his way to Kmart to buy a lilo for my niece. It was meant to be a quick trip in and out, but someone pulled out of the intersection without looking properly causing the accident.”

Nicky’s step mum and niece were also in the car and badly injured but survived.

“We put the cross there to remind people to take care on what still is a dangerous intersection, so that my dad didn’t lose his life for no reason.”

“When we saw the third cross had gone, we were absolutely gutted. My niece was planning to add some flowers to it herself this week, so she is devastated.” If you have any information, email jo@waimeaweekly.co.nz.

says they are envisioning the new facility to have a space for iwi to come, research and connect and to be a part of the conservation work.

Shelves are bowing under the weight of archived newspapers and multiple portable dehumidifiers keep ageing artefacts intact.

So, Shae is itching for the move to the city.

“We do the best we can but it’s constant work,” she says.

The Church St site has been purchased by the Nelson Provincial Museum and Lucinda says surveying of the space will take place for the next six to eight months

before developing a concept design.

At this stage, the build is being envisioned as a three-storey site with about 1500 to 1520 square metres of space.

Lucinda says 50 per cent of the funding for the build has been resourced, including $3 million promised by Nelson City Council as part of its 2018 Long Term Plan and a further $3 million from Tasman District Council.

Further funding has been applied for through a range of grants.

“We hope to have the build finished in 2025 and we’d ideally like to be in there by 2026.”

Opinion

Opinion Untidy Nelson: We have just spent five days in your city. Our first visit since 2020. To say we were appalled at the appearance of your city is an understatement. After landing at your beautiful airport, we were driven beside weeds, weeds, and more weeds. Absolutely shameful to allow such an eyesore.

Then we walked part of the Railway Reserve. More weeds with a huge amount of Deadly Nightshade everywhere. Why oh why has this been allowed to happen? We talked to many people, and they were all in agreement with our observations. Please, before our next visit, get your city tidied up.

Bruce McDowell Rubbish dumped on the street: Early in the hours of Monday, 21 March before daylight, I observed from a nearby camera a ute pull up on Parkers Rd and unloaded a dishwasher onto the footpath.

The dishwasher has quite obviously been dumped as the end of the power cord has been cut off it. It has now been left there with the expectation that someone else disposes of it.

Its laziness and we would like it removed.

We have the rego of the vehicle involved and would like to give them the opportunity to come and remove it and pay to dispose of it themselves.

If not we will pass on to relevant authorities.

Annoyed resident Ducks found with throats slit at Saxton: Sadly we live in a disconnected society where trauma is so normalised we’re immune to it. Those kids will be highly traumatised and it gets redirected everywhere like a virus. We so need collective healing.

Rosemary Anne Aitken That’s disgusting, we take our wee boy out to feed those ducks as he absolutely loves feeding them. Hope they get caught.

Dan Wilson This is utterly sickening. If these grotesque individuals can do that to ducks then they’re quite capable of doing it to other animals. Or even humans. Hopefully they’ll be caught as they pose a violent danger to the wider community.

Dennis Goodman They need too find the person responsible for this, that is disgusting behaviour and concerning for the community.

Nikita Brown

This is extremely disturbing. Someone needs some serious professional help.

Gina India Prestidge Is nothing, truly nothing, able to just be left alone?

Karen Muckle Omg, that’s so disgusting. Why would anyone be capable of killing defenseless poor ducks.. That’s really upsetting.

Mirinda Barrett What the quack!

Nat Payn Hamish’s journey from immobility to walking 10km: Awesome recovery young fella, very proud of you Hamish, an inspiration to many I hope. Enjoy the 10k stroll.

Geoff Win What an awesome story - thanks for sharing, Odette.

Jodie Backhouse Well done Hamish, best wishes, you’ll be playing Masters Football in no time.

Steve Woodfine Well done Hamish, City Fitness is a great gym for you. You have come a long way. Well done my good friend.

Peter Streefland Speaking up about life in a tent: A real problem, made worse by the fact that local rentals have to be insulated to Central Otago weather standards. Heat pumps and all the extras that are required now, additional costs imposed, and Government regulations, new homes double-glazed. All these additional costs add up. No longer can you get a cheap rental because they have the same requirements as a luxury rental, but living in a tent and car there is no insulation, heating, extractor fans etc.Better to have a safe house without the bells and whistles.

Diane Chandler So much of the rental stock has been turned into holiday homes now.

This adds to the issue. I really feel for these guys. Hard when you’re working to not even have a place to call home.

Karyn Brain Very sad situation, feeling for you Marty. Hope something gets sorted out for you soon and for all of us, including the homeless.

Lee Collins

Have your say: sara@topsouthmedia.co.nz facebook.com/nelsonweekly Making sure all Kiwi kids can thrive: We are writing as members of the Nelson/Tasman Child Poverty Action Group in response to Rachel Boyack’s opinion piece ‘Making sure all Kiwi kids can thrive’.

Why is it acceptable in Aotearoa New Zealand, internationally counted as a rich nation, that nearly 160,000 children currently live in households where the income is less than 50 per cent of the median household income before housing costs?

The Child Poverty Reduction Act 2018 is intended to help achieve a significant and sustained reduction in child poverty in New Zealand.

We can now see in the reports how slowly the reduction is happening.

This situation has barely changed since 2006/07 and the poverty statistics for Māori and disabled children have remain largely unchanged too.

We need giant steps taken now so that all households with children can pay the rent as well as putting healthy food

on the table: so they can afford heating as well as petrol to get to work.

Since 2018, some small improvements in child poverty have been reported.

But the changes have been mostly minor, and a considerable number of Aotearoa New Zealand’s children continue to miss out on basic essentials.

Their families are facing rents hikes and the cost of living has gone up significantly.

There is surging demands for foodbank assistance which shows that there is significant hardship in our communities.

The current Omicron outbreak and our response to it is having a major impact on families who are doing without.

We do not have the full story for the many who are struggling to put food on the table because the data has not been collected since 2020 because of Covid-19.

However, the foodbanks can tell us, it’s impossible for many families to buy one weeks’ food, let alone the two weeks’ food we are advised to store in case our household has to

isolate because of Omicron.

There is no data available on families that are homeless or are living in emergency accommodation.

Two actions would make a difference right now.

It would make a difference to families on benefits for government to backdate the benefit increase promised for 1 April to 1 January 2022 and increase the payment in recognition of the current rising cost of living and inflation.

For families on low wages, it would make a difference to adjust the family tax credits now so these, and the abatement thresholds, are indexed to wages, as superannuation is.

CPAG Nelson Tasman recognises that some improvements have been made but there is still a very long way to go.

Real change is required before Aotearoa New Zealand can hold up its hand, let alone its head, as the best place in the world to be a child.

Jean Simpson, chairperson Child Poverty Action Group Nelson Tasman

It is time to change the way we see alcohol Marcelo Ribas

Health Action Trust - CAYAD Coordinator Nelson Tasman

We live in a society with strong exposure to alcohol, the socalled “alcohol drinking culture”, where the presence of alcohol has become normal.

We are all exposed to carefully crafted advertisements which give the perception that using alcohol is harmless, fun and cool. From an alcohol harm reduction view, we should be concerned about the “normalcy status” which alcohol has. We should not forget that alcohol is also a drug. It alters our physical and mental state when consumed.

Many people do not realise that this exposure to alcohol also has an impact on our young people. They are exposed to alcohol marketing while walking to school, playing or watching sport, and through digital media.

The “drinking culture” is so strong that parents sometimes

feel pressured to introduce their young people to small amounts of alcohol at home so that they can learn to “drink responsibly”, despite the fact that there is no safe level for young people to drink alcohol as it is harmful to the developing brain.

According to statistics, alcohol causes more harm than any other drug in our society.

Unfortunately, we all pay the price. It significantly impacts

the budgets of our core services - health, justice, police, welfare, and ACC, not to mention the damage it causes to families and communities alike.

By reducing alcohol consumption we can create healthier, fairer environments that support our communities to prosper and be free from the effects of alcohol.

We can improve our mental wellbeing, reduce suicide and family harm, have safer roads and communities, improve our physical health (e.g. fewer injuries, birth defects and cancers) and lift employment and productivity. We have the potential to improve everything we deeply care about. It is time to change the way we see alcohol.

The park is an ideal place to spend a few hours with your family. You’ll gain an understanding of the wider environment and mind-set that sculpts what we know as ‘Coasters’ to this day.

With the discovery of gold in 1864, settlers soon flooded the rivers and creeks of ‘The Coast’ faster than a downpour of that famous rain ever could. Various nationalities merging over their shared mineral pursuit. This in turn led to the demand of timber for building infrastructure.

In order to claim these resources and survive, you

had to be hardy through and through.

If you choose to visit Shantytown, be sure to take the heritage train ride and pan for your piece of West Coast gold from up at the gold claim. While riding on the train is leisurely, getting the knack of a gold pan isn’t quite so straight forward. Patience will pay dividends.

Owner-operators Derryl and Tanja Henman say the team at DS Auto continue to ‘cover it all’, providing customers with top-quality auto services to all makes and models, from Fiats to Ferraris, and a great range of car sales and rentals, caravans and trailers.

“We are still the same solid company but with the expansion of our skills into a more varied fleet of cars,” says Tanja.

“Yes, we still fix cars, yet we are expanding into classic and specialised areas. The rebranding has given us and the building a new lease on life and our business.”

The team specialise in selling unique cars such as classic cars, range rovers and even

corvettes.

“Our popular WOF lane brings regular and new customers through our doors every 6-12 months. We are still very active in importing caravans and vehicles from UK and USA.” Being in a business situated in the same place for almost 30 years, and meeting new people every day, has been a great thrill, says Derryl.

“The rebrand has been fuelled by my son Tom, which has kept me on my toes and given a new perspective on business.

Being family operated we tend to share the family sense with our customers and staff members. We strive to give the best service possible and we hope to see our business grow for a further 30 years!”

Derryl's father started a car sales business, Henman Motors, in Richmond in the 60’s with a car yard currently where the Richmond Mall is situated.

Starting his apprenticeship at 16 at Ross McCully Motors on the port, Derryl then went on to work for his father at his Halifax St car yard for a few years.

“Then on to Brisbane with my brother, where I worked at the house of MG and where I got my classic car passion. Came back to NZ and worked as company rep for Repco auto parts. After a few years I joined up with Powell Motors Lada and sold new and used cars, which was situated on our current property.”

In 1993 they purchased the

workshop and car yard and say, as the Lada faded, they then went into classic cars and restoring them to be sold. “We also started RushIn Rentals at the start with Lada, then Classic Sports Cars, and also the famous stretched limos.”

“We started up a very busy drive-in WOF testing station along with our fully-equipped workshop covering all types of vehicles. As keen caravan folk we decided to start importing caravans, originally from Australia and then on to the UK and Germany, and over the past 10-12 years have sold a huge number of vans. Tanja is the customer's main point of contact, keeping people on the ball with their warrants, and in recent years their son Tom joined the business as a qualified auto technician working on a wide range of vehicles. Derryl says Tom is currently rebuilding a '61 mini, “when he isn't travelling back and forth from the states exporting cars back to our dealership to sell on.”

“We are a family-owned and operated business,” says Tanja. “And we believe wholeheartedly in supporting local.”

Volunteer firefighters a vital asset to the community Nelson Tasman has 18 Fire and Emergency stations in the district.

Of those 18 stations, a huge percentage rely heavily on the assistance of fully trained volunteers and support crews. Our region is supported by 371 volunteer firefighters, and 42 career firefighters, providing specialist support to the area. The commitment and sacrifice involved is mammoth, from not just the service people themselves, but also the families, friends and employers that stand by them, supporting the people that dedicate their lives to helping others.

They are a vital cog in the community wheel, working tirelessly to keep us safe, attending scenarios that would give people nightmares and educating and improving fire safety in the region. They are a humble bunch of

extraordinary people, from all walks of life, that will say ‘we just love helping people.’

But our service volunteers and crew are much more than good samaritans.

They are the superheroes of our community, the rescuers, the knights in shining armour. They are part of the backbone of the district and amongst the first responders that will be there to help us in an emergency, no matter what. Darren Crawford previously served as a firefighter in Wellington for 22 years, then pursued a career as a paramedic. He now works in a newly developed role as the Nelson and Marlborough Senior Advisor Readiness and Recovery for Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ). He says the personal growth developed from becoming a volunteer for FENZ can

“It is like a big family that supports and helps each other without hesitation. FENZ provides top quality training to the National Qualifications framework which prepares you well for the role and can be a real advantage in everyday career progression.”

“The job is a real privilege. To be able to help people when they need it the most is a challenging but extremely rewarding opportunity. Not only do you get real chances to save lives but you can help the com-

munity better understand the risks and actually work with the community to prevent tragedies from occurring.”

Long-time friends, Chris Valentine and Kevin Shea have dedicated their lives to serving the community and both are due to receive a Double Gold Star award for 50 years of service. Chris first joined as a volunteer at the Stoke Station in 1971 and transferred to the Nelson base in 1972 as a permanent senior firefighter until his retirement in 2012. He has been volunteering at the Richmond Station ever since and now focuses on fire safety, conduc t i ng in-home fire safety visits and install-

ing fire alarms. Kevin began his career after applying for a position at the Nelson Station in 1972. Having been interested in firefighting from an early age, he jumped at the opportunity for a permanent spot on the team and served with Nelson for 43 years. He is now retired and assists as a volunteer at Stoke Fire Brigade.

Both men are hugely passionate about the job and even after putting in the hard yards and devoting their lives to the service, say they still have something to give back to the community.

“I never even dreamt about being in the service for 50 years to be honest,” says Chris. “You don’t think about that sort of thing at the time. But I do enjoy it. It is a privilege to still be a part of it all.”

Changing times for Changing Threads KATE RUSSELL A changing arts scene in a year of Covid-19 disruptions has not stopped a prestigious Nelsonbased exhibition from forging ahead.

The annual Changing Threads Contemporary Fibre Art Awards are now in their 13th year and have, over this time, stretched the notion of what fibre art can be.

The national exhibition, organised

by Arts Council Nelson, opened on Friday night to a scaled-back audience at the Refinery ArtSpace.

Creative director Ronnie Martin says it’s considered the most prestigious exhibition of its type in New Zealand, and they were determined to not let Covid get in the way.

“The logistics have been tricky, and we have tried to make it as separated as possible while still allowing people to come to see the show.”

Award announcements have been filmed, as have many of the floor talks.

“We felt it was important to keep the continuity going because there are a lot of artists who have been working towards this all year and there was no reason why we couldn’t have a show.

“It gives people something to look forward to.”

Ronnie says this year they received 135 entries, which were whittled down to 58 with just 49 making the final cut.

“Each year the show tends to take on a slightly different colour theme and this year we are seeing softer, more natural colours.”

Award-winning Tasman artist Sarah Pumphrey is no stranger to the show, having entered seven times since 2013.

The Garin College arts coordinator says she has an “absolute passion” for textiles.

“It’s the one show that I make a point of entering. Textiles are not often recognised in the art world.

People think it’s just sewing, but it’s so much more.

“I’ve used a huge spread of things over the years from sticks, threads, paper, glass, and metal. It opens people’s eyes to the possibilities within that realm.”

This year Sarah’s entry, entitled ‘Tane and the Cross’ is made from a drop cloth, painted with acrylics, and stitched with cotton.

“I’ve been interested in myth and history and where they collide, what becomes myth and what becomes fact.

“All my work for the last ten years has been based around colonial context.”

Sarah says the best part of the show is seeing everyone else’s entries.

“I walk in every year and think ‘how on earth did I get selected?’

The most incredible work always comes out.”

Changing Threads is on at the Refinery ArtSpace, 114 Hardy St, until 23 April.

Taylor makes her TV dreams come true JACK MALCOLM Taylor Curtis says she still remembers writing down that she wanted to be a sports commentator when her class was asked what they wanted to be when they grew up.

Recently, she started a new job at the helm of the primetime sports show, The Crowd Goes Wild. Taylor knew this was the path she wanted to take after seeing Melodie Robinson on TV growing up, saying she instantly got to work learning everything about her.

“I wanted to do everything she had done to get where she had been, knowing I wanted to be a sports commentator one day.”

While studying media communications and psychology at the University of Canterbury, she reached out to Melodie to see if she’d be inter-

mentary and analysis that culminated with The Crowd Goes Wild reaching out to offer her a job.

While it had been an “obstacle” to learn the ropes of all the different sports, Taylor says she’s always eager to get better at what she does.

One of the highlights in her first month on the job was interviewing UFC fighter Dan ‘the hangman’ Hooker over a game of hangman.

“I suggested to play hangman with the hangman, throwing that out being the new kid and thinking ‘no ones going to like my idea,’ but they loved it.”

With most of the staff having a sporting background, working in a team comes naturally. “Everyone’s there to work together, not against each other. It doesn’t feel like work at all. Anything’s possible; that’s the thing I love.”

ested in covering her South Island Sevens competition.

“I got Mel’s email and reached out to her … she responded pretty quickly that she’s going down to present the sevens and ‘let’s catch up’.”

Following that meeting, Taylor was flung headfirst into rugby commentary as Scotty’ Sumo’ Stevenson’s mentee for six months.

“They liked me and asked if I would be keen to do a live cross at a Crusaders against Blues game, and I’d never done anything like that in my life,” she says. “I didn’t really know how they were going to structure it and I probably had two of the hardest names to say. My knees, I felt like they were buckling.”

After what she called a ‘terrible’ first live cross, she was surprised to get a second chance. But from there it had been a whirlwind of com-

Taylor Curtis (pictured with co-host Andrew Mulligan) says the first episode of The Crowd Goes Wild they filmed with her did not go to air because of technical difficulties, but she was over the moon after having made her first official appearance on the show. Photo: Supplied.

ACOB take cricket final JACK MALCOLM Athletic College Old Boys have finished the season with an unbeaten record after filling the last spot in their trophy cabinet.

Their dominance of premier cricket was on full display in the final, taking less than 19 overs to chase down Stoke-Nayland’s 76 total.

ACOB were dominant, bowling with a ruthless line and length that forced errors which they expertly capitalised on.

Opening bowlers Liam Baird and Martin Slabbert took four wickets apiece as StokeNayland could only muster a top partnership of 24 runs.

The pair were clinical in their execution, allowing a combined 10 runs for their eight wickets to shut their opponents out. Martin’s 4/3 was the best figures of the young bowler’s career, made even more special by eclipsing the previous club record for wickets in a season, with 36.

It wasn’t enough, says Stoke Nayland captain Dylan Eginton. “We came in with high hopes and a good side. . . but we never really gave ourselves a chance. Another 50 runs and who knows, it could have been a different game.

But, full credit to ACOB, to go unbeaten and win every trophy is a mean feat.”

ACOB captain Ollie Jones-Allen said he was intimidated coming into the game, but he was proud of how his men met the challenge.

“I was terrified of what we were coming across. It’s an amazing achievement for the club. Just to show the depth of the club, with multiple players away and to beat a fullstrength side is extremely pleasing.”

He said the performance of Baird and Slabbert was “superb”, putting them right where they wanted to be coming into bat. “It was just a case of making sure to capitalise when there’s bad ones.”

Stoke-Nayland 76/10 after 31.3 overs (Sean Neal 20; Martin Slabbert 4/3, Liam Baird 4/7) defeated

by ACOB 82/3 after 18.3 overs (Greg Chitty 28, Jonty Raxworth 22, Ronan Restieaux 22; Jared Silvester 2/21).

Mason Robinson says he’s excited to wear the silver fern again after being named in the ‘Grey Caps’ ahead of their series against Sri Lanka and Australia.

With the experience of two world cups behind him, he believes the team has the firepower to win their highly-competitive over-50s cricket tour.

Having played more than 100 premier games for Wakatu, Mason says he still feels like he’s punching above his weight facing off against ex-international players. He vividly remembers having former Zimbabwean fast-bowler Eddo Brandes, the oldest player to make an international hat-trick at 34, firing the ball down the pitch at him.

“Zimbabwe had five ex-international players (that world cup). It’s so cool to be playing with those guys.”

Since first joining the side in 2018, Mason says the standard has dramatically risen with only three or four players in the team not being ex-first class cricketers.

“This year there’s four new caps and they’re all high calibre, firstclass players.

“We call it the Grey Caps. But there’s no doubt about it, you want to win because you’re playing for your country.”

Mason says it’s exciting to have something back on the calendar after being hamstrung for so long.

The team had to leave the World Cup after dominating the first half of the competition under the cloud of Covid-19.

While the national scene has grown from strength to strength, with an interprovincial tournament and a North v South Island series, he’s eager to see how they fare on the international stage.

Mason believes his key role in the team is his skill with the gloves behind the stumps, saying he has to watch out for the guys who are aging into the team.

“I’m fighting hard not to give up that role,” he laughed.

Having played cricket his whole life, he says the connections he’s made through the age-grade game are some of the most memorable.

“I enjoy being part of that team. . . you can feel the interest of being a part of that. “It’s so cool that even if you don’t make it in your twenties, your thirties, or even your forties, you still can in your fifties.”
