Wettest July on record JO KENT

Torrential rain turned Rabbit Island into a series of mirrored lakes at the weekend after storms left the ground unable to cope with drainage fast enough.

The sheer volume of water spread across hundreds of metres in the

picnic areas, leaving facilities under water.

One visitor, Margaret Peters, says she visits the reserve most weekends and has never seen it flooded before. “I’ve seen this place in all weathers, but never like this.

It’s quite something.”

Some of the roads leading into

the different zones were also affected with surface water pooling across the centre, making it a tricky drive for vehicles.

Science communicator for NIWA Nava Fedaeff says the rainfall recorded in July for Richmond was 236.5mm which, along with Nelson and Marlborough, is more

than double the normal rainfall in July.

“Our station in Appleby has experienced it’s wettest July on record, with records extending back to 1932. Motueka also had the wettest July on record with records extending back to 1943.”

Transportation Manager for

TDC Jamie McPherson says contactors have been kept busy on the region’s roads ensuring minor flooding problems are dealt with quickly.

“We have had surface flooding and slips, but no major damage.

I like athletics, both the 100 and the longer distance 5000 and 10,000 metres. The games are a fantastic event.

I love watching skating in the Olympics. Gymnastics is good to watch at the Commonwealth Games.

I love all sports. I played rugby when I was younger. I have enjoyed the running and hurdles in these Games.

I like watching rugby and do enjoy netball too. And sprints.

Wettest July on record since 1932 FROM PAGE 1 With the prolonged high rainfall raising watertables on the plains, surface flooding will be an ongoing issue every time it rains, so people need to drive to the conditions.”

In terms of why there’s been so much rain, the main driving forces have been consistent low pressure systems approaching from the northwest, combined with tropical moisture from the Coral Sea. “We have had frequent air flows from the northerly quarter, originating from a warm and wet place,” Nava says.

“This is quite different from the southerly and south-westerly systems which are more characteristic of NZ winters.

Frequent high pressure to the

east of the country has also blocked low pressure systems from moving away quickly and prolonging rainfall.”

She says if you want to get “really nerdy” then the atmospheric blocking pattern had been spurred on by a major pulse of what’s called the Madden-Julian Oscillation – a tropical climate phenomenon that circulates rain and thunderstorms around the planet every 30 to 40 days.

“We also have the remnants of a La Niña influencing climate system - something that’s helped leave our surrounding sea surfaces warm enough to energise incoming storms as well as a positive phase of an Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), which has contributed to a series of devastating floods

across Australia in recent times.

“In the background is our warming planet which contributes to more moisture during rain events and influences our warmer seas.”

But the wet weather is about to change for August, according to forecaster for NIWA Ben Noll.

“August is looking unsettled to start, with a shift to drier conditions mid-August and again for September and October. It’s a little bit unusual for spring standards and what that might mean is warmer temperatures and more sunshine.

“So that’s something to look forward to because we’ve been through quite a rough patch with Mother Nature for the last few weeks.”

Hope for contentious stock control bylaw MAX FRETHEY

Local Democracy Reporter

Wakefield farmer Colin Gibbs is hopeful that a draft stock control bylaw being developed

by Tasman District Council that has previously been called ‘unworkable’ could be made more practicable.

Council transport planning officer Clare Scott says farmers have raised a few specific concerns rather than objecting to the entirety of the proposal.

“It’s a limited range of requirements in the bylaw that are being perceived as not practicable.”

The main point of contention is an anti-fouling measure which requires stock to be held back 50 metres from the road exit point prior to entering a road crossing.

Gibbs is a sheep and beef cattle farmer and drives stock up to one and a half kilometres along the road.

“The 50-metre hold back regulation is not really a workable scenario,” he said. “If we had to create holding back areas in each paddock we come out of onto the road, it’s just not practicable.”

Gibbs understands the goals

“I can see what they’re getting at,” he said. “But by the time you get them [the stock] that 50 metres to the roadway, another car’s come along.”

The bylaw was initially planned to be finalised after the local election, but in a regulatory committee meeting last week Tasman councillors voted to bring the process forward.

“Something unintended has happened here,” councillor Chris Hill said. “We want a bylaw that’s obviously workable and not onerous at all.”

Council staff added that their

“The engagement we’ve had with Federated Farmers has been really good,” strategic policy manager Dwayne Fletcher said. “We’ve had some really excellent feedback.”

Gibbs agrees that council has been receptive to the concerns of farmers.

“They’ve taken some [of the concerns] onboard and can see it’s just not really workable.”

No magic bullet to alleviate pressure in Nelson Hospital JENNY NICHOLSON The strain on Nelson Hospital is at a peak and the most extreme clinical director of surgical systems and head of ophthalmology, Dr Derek Sherwood, has seen in his long career.

He says there are multiple factors causing pressure, with the latest strain of Covid-19 contributing as well as midwinter illnesses, meaning the highest numbers in hospital coinciding with the most staff away.

“With the newest [Covid] strain, the average age of those infected is rising with older people more likely to have serious illnesses,” Derek says Medical patients are taking up surgical beds, causing cancellations in planned surgeries, with a shortage of nurses in theatre and wards compounding the problem.

“Orthopaedics has probably suffered the most,” he says. “There have been a lot of acute surgeries for people with injuries. Beds are filling with those patients and medical overflow, leaving no capacity on wards for planned surgery.

“Even if theatre nursing shortages do allow for surgery, it’s hard to do hip and knee surgery as there are not beds available.”

He says they are concentrating on doing as many day surgeries as possible, where no bed is required.

Normally, medical patients taking up surgical beds is alleviated by moving people to the Assessment, Treatment and Rehabilitation Unit (ATRU). From there people are discharged home or to residential care. However, the ATRU is being used as a Covid-19 unit, and residential care facilities are experiencing their own staff shortages with some also having Covid-19.

The lack of beds has had a flow-on effect on the Emergency Department (ED) with a few instances where patients had to remain in ambulances as there was no room in ED. “To get to that stage is not ideal, it’s problematic,” Derek says. “It can potentially affect patient care.”

Private hospitals have in the past been contracted to help with backlogs. There was a burst of overdue elective surgery contracted to the private sector in May and June, but lately private hospitals have also had issues with staff absences.

Covid-19 has also had a huge effect on the eye department. Derek says there are some things that cannot be put off, like eye injections for macular degeneration,

which have continued, however, a lot of less urgent follow-up had been put off again and again.

“Glaucoma is a worry. Patients are waiting to be assessed and with glaucoma any deterioration in vision cannot be got back”.

“Everyday I get to work wondering who will be away today,” Derek says. “We work as a team. Doctors fill in for nurses and nurses for doctors.”

Priority at the hospital is given to patients with an acute injury, cancer patients and those with the most level of discomfort and pain.

“As well as acuity, we are aware that some groups have difficulty accessing services and have poorer outcomes,” he says. “This includes Māori, Pacifica, refugees, mental health patients and those in rural areas. We are trying to ensure priority is given to these patient groups.

“The worry is that those who are less urgent are still quite debilitated.”

A team meets daily to look at bed availability, numbers with Covid and the flu, residential care, capacity for increasing elective surgery, and whether overnight admissions mean surgeries will need to be cancelled.

“It’s a balance, too, of doing extra work against not burning our staff out. They are absolutely incredible and are stepping into gaps where their colleagues are away.”

He says it is easy to forget the cumulative stress and strain on all staff – medical, nursing and administrative.

“Admin staff are often the meat in the sandwich. They have patients cancel and must find replacements at short notice. When doctors and nurses are away, they have to cancel clinics and rebook. It’s huge pressure.

He says there is no magic bullet. It will take ongoing work to manage the peak.

“As we come out of winter the pressure may let up, but probably not for another month.”

Te Whatru Ora interim district director Nelson Marlborough, Lexie O’Shea, says it is widely acknowledged that the health workforce has been, and continues to be, under significant pressure this winter and this has resulted in health workforce shortages across the country.

“We would like to acknowledge our workforce’s flexibility and commitment to connecting as a team so that we support our patients when they need us most,” she says.

Kai With Love turns 4

As charity Kai With Love celebrates its 4th birthday, chief executive Abigail Packer speaks with Jo Kent about the last four years of providing around 700 households in the Nelson Tasman region with food parcels each week. “The last four years have been like riding a tidal wave. The dozens of food boxes in our living room quickly turned into hundreds of food boxes all over the region - that was never in the original plan. There was no plan. We were just rescuing food to give to folks who needed it. The need quickly revealed itself to be diverse and widespread.”

What’s it been like starting up and running such a crucial organisation?

“The work of Kai With Love has always been a mix of heart-wrenching, rewarding and exhausting. Our volunteers will tell you it’s also infectious and addictive in the best kind of way. It gets in your blood.”

Has the time gone quickly?

“The first year was cruisey, the second year was exciting, the third year was fruitful but full of growing pains, and in the fourth year we have come of age. It’s great to be celebrating another birthday, our reward is knowing thousands of hungry tummies are being fed every week, and financial burdens eased because of what we do.”

How have things changed and evolved?

“With demand ever increasing, every year has required more faith, more muscle, and more funds. But we have made it this far with some absolutely vital support from generous businesses and organisations with true heart for their community, all powered by a wonderful group of volunteers, mostly retired folk giving their time and energy to make it happen.”

What you are looking forward to in the future?

“The immediate future looks like a lot more work and resource will be required to keep doing what we do, but our hope is to see the level of need shrinking and our communities becoming stronger, more

connected, and more resilient as a result. We are moving to a strictly online service in the next few months to move away from phone orders, so that is a massive undertaking and will affect all our regions, but it will be so worth it once the transition is made.”

How did you celebrate on the big day?

“There was no time to celebrate as we were busy making up all the food parcels, but we added some extra treats into the boxes to mark the occasion.”

If you would like to join the Kai With Love team, either as a volunteer or a recipient, go to their Facebook page for information.

The charity provides foodshare days across the region.

Productive land concerns fail to halt development strategy MAX FRETHEY

Local Democracy Reporter

Concern about Tasman’s highly productive land was centre stage at a joint committee meeting between the Tasman District and Nelson City Councils.

The joint committee met on Wednesday and accepted the policy decisions of the draft Future Development Strategy (FDS) the two councils are developing.

However, Tasman council members weren’t unanimous in their support of the plan.

Councillor Mark Greening voiced his opposition to greenfield development of some Rural 1 zoned land as outlined in the strategy. Land zoned as Rural 1 comprises the most productive land in the Tasman District.

Greening proposed an amendment to the committee’s policy decisions that the FDS wouldn’t encroach on any Rural 1 land across Tasman.

“It’s consistent with the community view which we’re supposed to strongly take into account,” he said. “They do not want the loss of Rural 1 land.”

He also said the Waimea Dam is

“If this Rural 1 land is to be consumed, it undermines the whole thesis of the dam.”

Security cameras at McGazzaland

The security cameras at Wakefield’s bike skills park are now up and running. The cameras were partially funded by the Tasman District Council community grants process, while the bulk of the funding was from both the Wakefield and Brightwater community councils.

Constable Jamie White hopes they will act as a deterrent to antisocial behaviour and keep it a safe, family-friendly community asset.

Positive Ageing Expo returns

Richmond’s Headingly Centre will host this year’s Positive Ageing Expo on Friday 30 September. The event showcases the recre-

years. Currently, the draft strategy allows for 54 per cent of new developments to occur on greenfield sites with the remaining 46 per cent being allocated to intensification.

The Future Development Strategy is required by central government for local councils to achieve ‘well-functioning urban environ-

ational, health and social services available in Nelson-Tasman to make ageing a positive experience. It’s been running since 2008 and attracts about 2,000 people each year.

Road survey results revealed

The Road to Zero Monitoring Report released last week said deaths and injuries per 100,000 people had fallen by 47 per cent in the Tasman region and 62 per cent in Nelson during 2021.

Tasman police acting district commander Steve Collins said, while the drop in 2021 was positive, it was disappointing that the toll had risen this year. So far in 2022, there has been six fatal accidents in Nelson/Tasman.

ments’.

TDC growth coordinator Jacqui Deans said that upholding Greening’s amendment would have a negative impact on the FDS. “By removing all Rural 1 land… amounted to about 3,000 dwellings, that would then mean we haven’t got sufficient capacity for 30 years for a higher growth

scenario.”

She added that almost all highly productive land was immediately dismissed as a possible site for development with only three areas being selected for greenfield development.

Greening’s amendment was eventually concluded by council staff to undermine the integrity of the FDS and on that basis committee chair and Nelson mayor Rachel Reese struck the amendment down.

Tasman mayor Tim King acknowledged that not everyone in the district will be pleased by the FDS but stood by the work the committee has put into the FDS’s development.

“I genuinely believe the committee’s done a great job… I’m only in a position to support the recommendations.”

The joint committee voted 18 to 6 in favour of accepting the subcommittee’s policy decision recommendations.

Tenants compensated for power used by landlord to build tiny home on site TRACY NEAL

Open Justice Reporter

It was the dream rental: a house in the country, with trees and a barn, a stream nearby and room for their two cats to roam.

It was too good to be true, they thought. And soon, they were right.

The owner of the property in rural Tasman, from whom the couple began renting the main house in late 2019, arrived one day to say his daughter was moving into the vacant sleepout on the site. The problems began almost straight away, including what the tenants described as a “serious domestic violence incident”.

“We didn’t want Beirut next door,” they told a Tenancy Tribunal hearing in Nelson on Thursday.

A couple of weeks later, the landlord

died, leaving the daughter to eventually become their landlord.

In mid-March this year, the tension that had simmered erupted after the tenants received a text from the landlord demanding they hire a chainsaw or an arborist to cut down the trees in their garden. The couple said the tenancy agreement stipulated they were not allowed to cut down trees, so phoned her to ask.

“We didn’t think it was our responsibility, and then the abusive texts started.”

Tribunal adjudicator Michael Brennan acknowledged the “elevated level of swearing” contained in them. He also said it was generally accepted that it was not up to tenants to remove trees, the size of which required a chainsaw to cut them down.

He later said a throw-away line from

The statement was made in one of two recordings the tenant recorded on his cellphone during conversations with the landlord, and was played at the hearing, in which the landlord could be heard in a highly agitated state.

The landlord, who has interim name suppression, did not attend the hearing but was represented by her property manager, who had recently inherited what was described as a “highly stressed tenancy”.

The tenants cannot be named because of a suppression order, despite efforts by Open Justice to have that lifted.

Brennan appeared shocked when told Thursday it was the first time the property manager had met the tenants faceto-face. The property manager challenged the use of the recording, saying it sounded like a set-up. She said it was alarming that someone could ask questions of a person in a fragile state, not knowing they were being recorded.

Brennan noted that the existence of the recording had been included in notes to the tribunal.

The tenants said that a stream of text messages from the landlord then followed, including images of available rental properties with a notice they had 28 days to leave.

The property manager told the tribunal she advised all at that point to end all direct communication.

On Thursday, the landlord was ordered to pay $1500 to the tenants for electricity she used from their power supply – in-

cluding power used to build a tiny home on-site.

There was initial agreement that she pay $20 a week to the tenants, but she has paid nothing since January 2021.

The tenants had earlier broached the subject of the landlord’s tiny house being built, and what the power bill might be.

“It was the last peaceful interaction with her,” they said.

The tribunal heard there had been attempts since then to fix the problem so that power use was shared appropriately.

The landlord was also reprimanded for sending the tenants an invoice for the insurance excess on an 18-year-old glass cooktop that exploded, leaving the tenants to cook on a gas-fired camp stove.

The property manager said efforts had been made to fix the problem quickly, but the insurance company made specific demands before accepting the claim. She said the landlord had since agreed to pay the excess herself.

The tribunal also heard that a new mechanically-driven water pump that pumped from a stream into a tank had once run out of petrol, which left the tenants having to buy bottled water when the tap ran dry. They also claimed to have paid for the fuel needed to run it, and efforts to get it going by refuelling it prompted an

angry interjection from the landlord.

Management of the property changed in March this year.

During this transition, the conflict erupted and the tenants applied for redress through the tribunal, including exemplary damages for the damage caused to their quiet enjoyment of the property.

Asked why they had not raised matters with the previous property manager, they said they had not wanted to “stoke the fire”.

“We didn’t have ill-will towards her [the landlord], but we did want things to settle down,” the tenants said.

They also felt at the mercy of what Covid and the associated mandates were doing to the housing and employment landscape, and did not want to be evicted.

But they admitted that the living situation was affecting their quality of life.

Brennan said it would be wise for the owner to take responsibility for the electricity and then bill the tenants, but that would put them at risk of no power if the bills weren’t paid.

He was satisfied that the landlord’s “erratic behaviour” was grounds for compensation, but it was unlikely to be at the higher end.

The tenants said they were less concerned about money than “getting facts established”.

Harcourts hand over horse and money to RDA JENNY NICHOLSON Harcourts Nelson and Richmond owners, Toby Randall and Chris Davies, handed over a cheque for $3,632 to Riding for the Disabled (RDA) Richmond last week.

The money will go toward fencing and came from the Harcourts Foundation.

Chris Davies went the extra mile, with also handing over Abby, the family’s Clydesdale, to RDA for long-term lease.

RDA trainer Jo Hannah says although they are still in training, Abby has shown a gentle and kind nature.

“We are hoping to use her as a therapy horse for those with higher needs,” Jo says.

While horses that RDA take on are already trained for general riding, additional training to ensure they are suitable for those with disabilities to ride takes at least a further

10 weeks.

“We need to be 100 per cent sure that we can trust the horse,” Jo says.

She says there is a lot of ‘hurry up and wait’ for the horse, with them needing to learn to stand parked when there are a lot of people around.

“They need to get use to people and toys and to stand without moving their feet.”

The Harcourts Foundation is a kitty built up from a little money being put in each time a house is sold.

While it is a national initiative, and has given $7 million in donations over New Zealand, all money going into the kitty from homes sold in the Nelson Tasman region is used locally.

Organisations can apply to the foundation for money for projects, resulting in some being fully-funded.

New initiative to connect women looking to share housing JENNY NICHOLSON A new initiative has launched in Nelson this month aiming to connect and support women to share housing.

HomeShare for Her is a joint initiative of Community Action Nelson (CAN) and Nelson Women’s Centre and helps women by matching those with homes to share with those who are looking for shared housing.

“Access to affordable and decent housing is a huge issue in our region and a variety of solutions are required to meet the diverse needs of our community,” says HomeShare for Her co-founder Chloe Howorth.

Chloe has a background in managing housing and urban development projects in New Zealand and Australia and is currently Habitat for Humanity Nelson’s business development manager.

“Housing in Nelson is unaffordable for many women who live alone,” Chloe says. “There is a lack of smaller one-to-two-bedroom housing. Our demographics show that we have an older population with more people living alone, but most new housing being built is still three-bedroom plus.”

While her own housing journey has been a privileged one, Chloe has had close friends and family who have struggled to find suitable, affordable housing. Hav-

Photo: Jenny Nicholson. ing shared her own home with others, she says you do need to be open to other’s ways of doing things, and tolerant at times, but it can be a great experience.

HomeShare for Her founders Chloe, Sloane Bayley, and Kindra Douglas saw there are many women living alone in Nelson who are experiencing financial hardship, loneliness and struggling to maintain a larger home, yet not ready to downsize.

The initiative came about after CAN’s ‘what is a home’ forum which highlighted that many are

looking for smaller accommodation or are interested in co-housing. Chloe had seen overseas websites for matching housemates and thought they could adapt that idea.

“We decided to start with a service specifically for women,” she says.

“Originally we were planning on it being mostly web-based but after talking with potential participants, most indicated they would prefer their main contact to be through a real person.”

A point of difference with HomeShare for Her is that they have a

facilitator to help women through the process.

Sloane or Catherine Wild are the first points of contact. They undertake a detailed questionnaire with both parties and are also there for the initial meet and to help with background and reference checks. They also check in to see how things are going after the move-in.

Sloane says it’s not just about income, hating cooking or loving gardening. They have had to add a question about views on Covid-19 as there are different

philosophical points of view on vaccination. Whether there are pet allergies and if each woman needs a separate bathroom and toilet, are also considered.

They hope to hear from women who own a home and would like to share it with those looking to share a home, and those who would like to rent with another woman.

One participant says, “I am a single mum with a large house and needed some extra funds to help cover my everyday costs.

Through HomeShare for Her and their process, I was able to work out what kind of person I could happily share my home with, without feeling like I was being on guard and afraid to act like I normally would.”

The service is for women who are ready to contribute and engage as equals in the running of a shared household. It isn’t for women in crisis or those with complex support needs, but the HomeShare for Her team hope that by assisting those who don’t need a high level of support, it will free up existing services for those who do.

The initiative is starting in Nelson but may expand to other regions in the future.

HomeShare for Her is a free service for those who register interest as participating homeowners before the end of September. For further information email hello@ homeshareforher.nz

Navigating through Covid has been a ‘long haul’ for everyone and the restrictions needed to stay safe over the past two years have impacted on many seniors’ overall well-being.

“Lots of people stayed away from their regular exercise classes & routines,” says Community Falls Prevention Coordinator at Nelson Bays Primary Health, Angela Baker. “While this may have kept them safe from Covid, it has had a huge impact on their physical strength and balance and increased their risk of a fall. The good news is that falls can be prevented by doing the right exercises.

“Re-establishing your regular exercise routine is an important step back to normality and it’s the best thing you can do to build leg strength, improve your balance & mood and reduce your risk of falling ... plus it’s fun!” says Angela.

Exercise is key to healthy aging. Move your way back to a stronger, more balanced you so that you can continue to live independently for as

long as possible. “People may have reservations about re-engaging with exercise programmes they previously attended or might be nervous about joining a class. Please know that all necessary precautions are followed to ensure safety in these group environments.”

Proudly brought to you by...

The changing face of an intersection ROBYN PARKES A photograph frozen in time shows cattle being herded by riders on horseback on their way to the Freezing Works in Stoke. In the background is the Otterson Gum and Craig House, both now gone. Taken in 1976 it is a scene that would be laughable today.

Looking into this intersection there are some interesting stories.

Unfortunately, the sadder ones are of deaths that have occurred through vehicle accidents. There are, however, some lighter moments by today’s standards.

In April of 1918 a young man was caught driving dangerously. The charges were, “driving a motor vehicle at a speed of more than 12 miles per hour, exceeding the speed limit of six miles per hour while crossing the intersection and failing to give warning of his approach”. The defendant pleaded guilty but said that he could not

regulate to speed of the vehicle as water had got into the benzine.

He was fined five shillings, and seven shilling court costs.

Around a year later, Council were still concerned about the excessive speed of some motorists.

Police took matters into their hands to deter people from this and a number of court cases ensued. A similar case to the above saw two men charged with riding unlighted motorcycles at 10 minutes to 10pm around the corner of Queen St and Gladstone Rd. They also pleaded guilty and were fined 10 shillings, with seven shillings court costs. They also admitted to exceeding the speed limit of 6 miles per hour at the same time and place and were each fined another 10s and 7s court costs.

The year 1926 saw a major clean of the ditch along the intersection where the main refuse were parts of leg bones of sheep.

Flooding was a problem that occurred from time to time and the intersection saw its share.

In 1929, after yet another flood, many residents put forward their views of why it flooded and their remedies to stop it happening.

Some considered it to be positively dangerous as they were compelled to walk in the midst of “fast moving traffic.”

In 1944 the Main Highway Board met with the then Council to bring a proposal of their inten-

tion to deviate the State Highway from a point near the Freezing Works to join up with the southern end of Gladstone Rd. The meeting was attended by Mayor Mr A R Tuffnell and councillors.

The reasons given were that the corners of the intersection were dangerous as well as the intersection of Salisbury Rd and Queen St. The Highway engineer stated that it would separate local traffic and a number of street intersections and save nearly half a mile

in distance. Council weighed up the pros and cons and a resolution was carried to protest against the proposal as they considered the advantages gained far outweighed by the disadvantages. The present highway through the borough was seen to be sufficient to carry all traffic and that there were alternate routes via Oxford St and Wensley Hill.

It was thought that the danger at the corner of the intersection of Queen St and Gladstone Rd would be increased if the through traffic passed this point without having to slow down, and the perceived danger at the intersection of Queen St and Salisbury Rd would be largely eliminated when the contemplated improvements to the corner were carried out. The proposed deviation was vetoed at that time but, as we know, it did happen in the early 1970’s with the first deviation following the old proposal.

Richmond resident Alistair Macintosh was surprised to see a kāka in his backyard for much of the morning one day in July.

Alastair has lived at his 2-acre Hill St property for around 25 years and it’s the first time he’s ever seen a kāka in Nelson. The bird was attracted to his bird feeder, which can sometimes see 15 tui fighting to get the sugary water. Alastair has trapped pests on his property for years which he says has helped grow Property the native population of birdsMa utilising his property. He had recently read about a kāka visiting a Spring Grove property and wondered if it might be the same bird. Photo: Sara Pauline HarrisHollyman.

Chris Luxon’s day in Nelson JENNY NICHOLSON Chris Luxon’s day in Nelson last Thursday was one that saw him make appearances across the city, addressing issues as he went.

It started with breakfast at The Male Room, which he described as inspiring.

“They are doing incredible work engaging with homeless folk. Our job in government should be to get the money through to those guys so they can do their job, because they can do that job much, much better than some bureaucrats in Wellington,” he said.

His next stop was Nelson College for Girls, from which he came away enthused saying, “the next generation is going to be awesome in this world.”

However, he also heard from teachers saying they now play the role of counsellor, social worker, and bear the brunt of stressedout parents.

“I’m not sure that’s how it should be,” Chris says. “We need to value our teachers more.”

Education is a top priority for Chris in building New Zealand into an outstanding country. He spoke of the importance of enabling teachers to teach reading

and math well, and the need to reduce truancy.

The Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce was his next stop, where he spoke more generally about his concerns and plans.

He likened turning the country around to that of turning a business around.

“The first thing you have to do is face the brutal reality of where we are, and then you have hope because you have a plan to get to a better place.”

He commented several times on what he calls ‘dumb and wasteful spending.’

“We have 14,000 more bureaucrats in Wellington than we did four years ago, and it is costing us $2 billion a year,” he says.

He acknowledged that inflation is partly international, but says we are not controlling that which we can, and while it is a challenge, first and foremost National would ensure they were not passing on costs to small businesses.

Chris says after speaking with the chamber and engaging with local businesspeople, the local concerns are very similar to what is being echoed across the country.

“They are struggling with massive bottlenecks around bureaucracy,

National Party leader Chris Luxon visited Nelson last week. Photo: Jenny Nicholson. around cost and compliance and very much around immigration and labour shortages. It doesn’t matter which sector or which part of the country, those are consistent themes,” Chris says.

With the current government, Chris says inflation has risen about 15 per cent and that National has a practical way of keeping money in people’s pockets.

“What National would do is take tax thresholds and lift that up by that amount to make inflation-adjusted tax thresholds which actually gives people back money to put in their pockets rather than giving it to Grant

Robertson to spend.”

Asked whether the National Government would expedite the completion of the Nelson Hospital rebuild, he didn’t give a specific answer but spoke in general terms about the importance of infrastructure.

“We need serious investments in infrastructure and need to look at how we do that, and how we work with local government is really important. It’s hospitals, it’s roading, it’s port infrastructure you see particularly in this region as well.”

He says it is good that the hospital rebuild is getting closer to

starting.

“As I often say, John F Kennedy said ‘let’s go to the moon’ and they had people land on the moon nine years later. Somehow in New Zealand it takes a long time to do a lot of things that should be done much quicker.

Speaking on Three Waters, Chris says the people of Nelson will have their money from water rates going to the people of Wellington. “We believe we should keep those assets in local control with local influence,” he says.

He says he is a big believer in climate change and is committed to environmental targets and is very supportive of the carbon emissions budget. “We agree with the ends, but not necessarily how to get there.”

Chris is concerned that a survey showed a quarter of New Zealanders are struggling to make ends meet. “This causes pain and hurt and suffering for people as they try to make ends meet.”

He says the Cost-of-Living payment has been made up on the fly and is “band aid economics”.

“They put this together just before the budget as they were coming under political pressure, so it is not prepared or ready to go.”

Being able to sew isn’t a top priority for most kids, but one Wakefield mum is determined to change that with her Sew-Young Kids workshop teaching forgotten skills to a brand-new generation.

Jenny Lines, who is a freelance pattern maker for local brands HomeLee and Jellicoe, says that sewing skills aren’t getting passed down any more as most people don’t have the know-how to teach them.

“Getting kids involved at a young age really ignites their interest – not only in sewing but also the wider fashion industry, such as design, pattern making or retail.”

She launched her first workshop at Christmas and after it sold out she knew there was the demand for it.

“Since then, I’ve held another five workshops, mainly during school holidays, and we’ve had both boys and girls sign up each time.”

With fast fashion being labelled as the planet’s third largest polluter after food and construction, learning how to make and repair items is a valuable lesson.

“So many life problems can be solved by sewing. The amount of times I’ve fixed tents or straps on the kids’ riding stuff, it’s a great basic skill to carry through life. Plus, it’s creative, handy and fun.”

The workshops naturally touch on sustainability as the children can see just how much work goes into making things, which makes them appreciate where things come from a bit more.

“When they make their own items, it opens their eyes to see just what goes into producing it. It’s important to pass on that mindset to a younger generation.”

Each workshop is different, and each session produces one completed project.

“I try to keep it exciting. We make stuff they can wear and things that are quirky and fun using cool prints, so they can show them off and feel good about themselves.”

No experience is necessary, and most of the time is spent using the sewing machines to maximise their practical experience.

“The kids just want to get stuck in, so I prep up the machines and after they practice on a piece of scrap fabric, we go straight into making.

They pick it up really quickly and because the classes are small, everyone gets time with me.”

So far the groups have made Covid masks, frill skirts, headbands, Christmas decorations and, more recently, fingerless gloves and ear warmers for winter. Follow SewYoung Kids on Facebook for updates on upcoming workshops.

It’s time to get those fins up again as the Tasman Mako men and women take to the field for what is billed to be another exciting season of action.

After grappling with Covid restrictions for the past two seasons, provincial rugby has been given the green, or is that orange, light in 2022, with crowds welcomed back and a full, exciting schedule to enjoy.

The Mako men, runner-up to Waikato last season, face a slightly different challenge this time around, but with the same ultimate prize.

The previous two-tier competition has been abandoned and replaced by a dual-conference format designed to give every one of the 14 provincial sides a chance of being crowned NPC champion at season’s end.

The top four teams in each conference will qualify for quarter-

second birthday under the ownership of Dave and Natalie Gilberd this week. Since purchasing the business in 2020 the couple have worked

hard to live up to its legacy of success – Brightwater Motors was established in 1964 – despite the numerous challenges they have faced over the past two years. “We bought

the business just as Covid-19 was really kicking off ”, says Dave, a trained aircraft engineer who left Air New Zealand during the Covid-associated restructure of the

Nelson branch in June 2020.

“The research told us that a car mechanic’s workshop was relatively recession-proof, so we took the plunge and haven’t looked back!” Like many business owners in New Zealand the couple have endured numerous lockdowns, slow spells during sickness waves and their own Covid isolation challenges, but the business has proven to be resilient and grown steadily throughout.

Now facing a recession, a cost of living crisis and the unknown Dave Gilberd with TVNZ’s Breakfast presenter Abbey Wakefield effects of climate change, the couple are continuing to take it all in their stride. “We’ve found that the best way to get through is to have fun with what we do” says Natalie. Notable ‘fun’ can be had at Brightwater Motors’ monthly Mech 101 car maintenance training workshops, born out of last year’s Chicks That Fix women’s only sessions but, this year, open to all. Free to attend, the workshops have brought a number of young people and their parents into the fold as well as interested adults, all practicing hands-on learning in a safe and friendly environment.

The finished car will be revealed in the next week or so.

Dave’s love of music is clearly apparent in the guitars hanging up around the workshop and the drum kit set up on the mezzanine floor. A piano is soon to be installed. Dave has been making guitars and teaching others the art for over ten years, and has a workshop space set aside for instrument-making at Brightwater Motors, upstairs. This year he took three weeks out of vehicle maintenance work to teach guitar-making at the New Zealand Centre for Fine Woodworking in Nelson. “Guitars can be a bit of a talking point when customers come into the workshop” says Dave. “Plus, they give me a different creative outlet,

Top of the South film to hit NZ and US screens KATE RUSSELL A group of Top of the South film producers are taking their homegrown offering to 40 theatres across the country next month, including a red carpet event in Nelson.

They have managed to sell the US rights for their film, Northspur, to a major US film studio, who have allowed a one-month theatrical window to get the film out around New Zealand.

The film will also have exclusive digital screening rights in the United States.

“It’s a big thing for us here in little old Nelson to get our film out to the world,” says Nelson-based screenwriter and producer Justin Eade.

Justin wrote the script, which had 32 drafts. It was directed by Marlborough-based Aaron Falvey.

“Five years ago we got this feature film off the ground with local investment, and with no help from

The cast of Northspur, a local film that’s been picked up by a US studio. Photo: Visio Creative Studio. the Film Commission we funded and produced it all off our own bat, here in Nelson and Blenheim,” he says.

“It’s a massive buzz for us after putting five years of our lives into

this very low budget movie. To think Nelson and Marlborough landscapes are going to be seen around the world is really awesome.”

Northspur is an action movie set

in a post-apocalyptic New Zealand that involves a man’s struggle to save his wife.

“The film asks questions about love, compassion, faith, endurance, and protecting one’s family.

It’s an action film but has a lot of dramatic moments and character interaction,” says Justin.

The film is made entirely in the Top of the South, with a local cast and crew used. Many Nelsonians worked on the film or are starring in it, including Gayle Hay, Locky Campion, Pete Coates, Nick Kemplen, Phil McArdle, and Cameron West. The world premiere will be held in Blenheim on 1 September, and the Nelson premiere will be at The Suter Theatre on 4 September with a red carpet event.

“After our Suter Premiere, we’ll be playing at State Cinema Nelson as well,” says Justin.

He says the film is making people in the film industry around New Zealand “sit up and take notice”.

“We have done this all on our own initiative, all from Nelson and Blenheim, and we hope to do many more feature films here locally after this and start a small ‘industry’ of sorts.”

Little Big Blues Fest to celebrate International Blues Day SUSAN ALLEN A blues festival bringing together the country’s finest blues musicians will celebrate the tenth International Blues Day this weekend.

The Nelson blues scene is alive, well and riding a wave of popularity due to the recent formation of the Tasman Bay Blues Club.

Down at the ‘The Barn’, the club’s home base, resident band the ‘The Barnstormers’ can be heard punching out their fast-paced sound in readiness for the upcoming ‘Little Big Blues Festival’ on Friday, 5 August.

Nelson-based entertainer Katrina

Kallil is all set to sing the blues and captivate the crowd with her powerful voice and charismatic stage presence. Katrina, backed

by The Barnstormers, is part of this must-see festival being held at the Rutherford Hotel to mark the tenth anniversary of International Blues Music Day on 6 August.

International Blues Day is a global happening that celebrates the ‘ethos, attitude and music’ of a timeless musical form which has its roots in the southern states of America during the 1860’s with the African American people. A time for blues buffs worldwide to pay homage in their own authen-

tic ways to the genre’s greats.

The first Nelson’s blues fest to celebrate this day was the brainchild of local bluesmen Denny Jude and Marcus Roebuck back in 2013. This year the Tasman Bay Blues Club is proudly hosting the festival and the events team have come up with an impressive programme offering a range of blues styles performed by talented muso’s from around Aotearoa.

The line-up includes the Dayle Jellyman Band, King Leo, Chris Armour Quartet, DSG Trio, Denny Allen, Dem Blues Boys, All Time Good Time Rubber Biscuit Band and Katrina Kallil.

Tasman Bay Blues Club president Paul Nickless says they are promising an amazing evening of world class blues. He explained proceeds from the evening will foster initiatives to make blues more accessible to the wider community through events like the Blues Fest. One of the clubs main goals is establishing a ‘Nelson School of Blues’.

“The school is designed to foster blues talent both young and old.

We want to provide opportunities to gain experience from established artists and perform live

at The Barn” Paul explained. Proceeds from the Little Big Blues Festival will be going towards these Tasman Bay Blues Club initiatives.

The 2022 Little Big Blues Festival is shaping up to be a night to remember. The dance floor and stage are set for Nelson to experience live music at its best and feel the real blues vibe. Tickets can be purchased online through BandAids, with some door sales on the night. For more information about the festival head to Tasman Bay Blues Club Facebook page.

Young basketballers shine on national stage JACK MALCOLM Local basketballers Hayden Jones and James Matthews have been selected for the tournament team after being instrumental in earning Nelson a third-place finish at the recent U15 basketball nationals.

The pair combined for an average of over 58 points per game, with Hayden finishing as the highest scorer across the tournament.

His 37.71 points per game eclipsed everyone else at the tournament, with the next best player averaging 30.71.

Starting with a tournament-high 52 points in their opening game against Wellington, his worst performance

would see him still manage 24 points against Northland.

A double-double performance with 39 points and 18 rebounds in their semi-final loss to Waikato, 97-78, highlighted his skill at finding points from all aspects of offence.

One of his skills is drawing fouls and going to the freethrow line, earning 13 points from his 17 visits in that game.

He says it’s one of his strengths, knowing that his ability to score in open play makes him a target for fouls.

“I’m a shooter, but I also get to the hoop and draw fouls.”

In his second year at the U15 nationals, he says he had an expectation he would play “alright”, having been named in

the tournament team the previous year.

He didn’t expect the team to do as well as they had, believing their small size was going to play more of an impact than it did on court.

Everyday, Hayden says, he’s either training or practising his shooting in his driveway, saying his sporting idol is Steph Curry.

The 15-year-old Waimea student and son of Nelson Basketball great Phill Jones, who also coached the team, says his dream is to one day play in the NBA for the Golden State Warriors, following in the footsteps of Steph.

James, who averaged 21.5 points per game, says he cred-

its a lot of the team’s success to Phill’s coaching and Hayden’s ability.

“I knew that I was going to be the number two guy on the team.

“Credit goes to the guy scoring 37 points per game.”

He says Hayden’s ability to draw in defenders was a large part of why he was able to find so much success, but it isn’t a game of just two players.

“One of the keys was the chemistry we have as a team.”

James will travel to America later this month to attend training camps for college baseball, saying he’s always asked about his favourite, but can never decide. “Right now, it’s whatever is in season.”

FCL Nelson Men have continued their unbeaten run with a 69-38 win over Jacks OPD. In other results from the last game of the second round of the NBS Premier Netball competition, Prices Ahurei beat Prices Pango 75-20 and Richmond beat Nelson Girls College Senior A 51-48. The results see Prices Pango seeded last entering round three, behind NCG.

South Island Showoffs hit Saxton FROM PAGE 1 The Nelson Electrix Cheersport club have finished the 2022 South Island Showoffs with four golds and one silver in the specialities and seven golds in the teams.

Following the pair of Elsie Aitken and Elyse Karatai winning the junior level 3 duo and receiving the highest score in the

category, their Nitro youth novice team also won gold and the novice division.

Electrix’s three recreational teams, the Shock, Ember and Charge finished first, second and third respectively.

The Raze finished first in J1, the Pulse finished first in J2 and the Flash finished first in S3.

The Lyles finished first place in S4 to come runner-up in L4,

while the Flare finished second in the junior novice division.

The Photons finished first in the mini novice to be tied runners-up novice champions, while Broadgreen Code Black and Waimea Intermediate Watts were first and second in their intermediate school division respectively.

Event organiser and manager of Electrix Cheersport, Maxine

Noar, says it was exciting to be able to host a local competition .

It was the first time a competition has been held locally, with parents enjoying not having to travel away for the competitive sport.

“We were totally blown away by the support and so proud to have an event in our own backyard.”

She says the backing of the Nel-

son Regional Trust had been invaluable, with their grant a big reason why they were able to put the event on.

“People want to come to Nelson, and this was a great event.

“It’s hard to single anyone out, everyone did so well.

“Our MC, Max Goodman from MoreFM, even learnt some cheerleading slang so he could fit right in.”

Mako women back in the win column after long drought JACK MALCOLM The Tasman Mako FPC team have broken their winless drought with a 27-17 win over the Taranaki Whio at Trafalgar Park on Saturday.

In front of their home fans, the Mako started slowly after scoring first from the tee through first five-eighth Cassie Siataga.

They were then forced with their backs against their goal line for the next 15 minutes as Taranaki pounded against the defence.

Big Tasman props Shayla Tuitupou and Tita Lupeituu highlighted the hard and spirited defence, with some big shots in mid-field and powerful ball running on offence.

The pair were also crucial in the Mako’s dominance at scrum time, which only became more pronounced as the game wore on.

The Taranaki Whio were determined on the attack and rewarded with a try to winger Danika Northcott-Weherua on the counterattack after the Mako were unable to find touch with their clearance, having forced a turnover.

The Whio increased their lead to nine on the back of a charge down as fullback Bethan Masters looked to find touch, having been

Bethan wouldn’t take long to find her redemption, diving over to score the Mako’s first try after her team was camped in the attacking 22 with Taranaki unable to clear the ball.

Wave after wave of attack slowly wore down the defence, before Bethan was able to slice through a tackle with a significant overlap to her right to go into the break down by two, 10-12.

The Mako women would take the lead with a try on the other side

of the half, with reserve fullback Becky Davidson diving over the line as Taranaki couldn’t set a defensive line while on the backfoot.

The team scored again less than five minutes later, with a charge down getting them field position

They then grew their lead to 15 from a penalty kick 35 metres out with just over 20 minutes to play.

Taranaki weren’t out of the game and spent the remainder of regulation time hot on attack.

They were rewarded with a set piece try to Sharna Tito-Green, but the Mako had worked hard to build their buffer and weren’t going to let the game slide.

Mako captain Hannah Kelly says she was lost for words and incredibly proud after getting back in the winning column again.

Despite the conditions, she says they were looking to play expansive rugby.

“We’re just lucky to have such a good ground that doesn’t turn muddy, so we can use our skills.”

She says Cassie’s performance at 10 was outstanding as a lynchpin of the team.

“Emily Kelly as well. She was just awesome when she came on, and she’s on debut too.”

Hannah also wanted to thank the support of the home crowd.

“We could hear them on the sidelines and it’s a big boost for us.”

They will next play North Harbour at Lansdowne Park on Saturday, 7 August.

Hope School principal a sporting hero JO KENT Hope School principal Freya Hogarth has just led the New Zealand Paddle Ferns canoe polo team to a bronze medal in The World Games 2022 in her role as head coach.

The win in the USA is New Zealand’s first-ever World Games canoe polo medal, but the Paddle Ferns previously won the 2016 World Championships in Italy which put them as the best team in the world.

“I was on the team myself until 2010 when I left to have my three children, then went back as coach in 2019. Covid soon struck, so we’ve only now just been able to take part in international competitions again.”

The World Games saw 3,459 athletes from 99 nations compete and the standard of sportsmanship is high as it’s the top teams from around the world battling it out.

“Only the top seven teams and the host nation get invited to the World Games, so you have got to play against all the top teams, whereas the World Championships has 24 teams, so you play quite a few of the lower ranked teams before coming across the top ones. It makes our bronze medal all the more coveted.”

Freya will be travelling to France with the team this week to take part in the 2022 World Championships.

“I’ve only been back for two

Paddle Ferns vice-captain Erin Moore says that her first game on the team was Freya’s last, 12 years ago.

“Freya was one of the senior members back then and was so lovely to everyone. As coach, she is straight down the line and gives us the support we need. She’s a bit of a hero.”

Erin says the last time the team had a female coach was over 25 years ago.

“We haven’t won a medal at the World Games before but had previously come fourth twice, so we had the mentality of thinking we weren’t good enough to be there.

But this time we were, like, ‘No, we deserve to be here and we are

Tasman Black have held onto the Whakatu Shield after beating Federal Hockey Club 4-1 with a massive last-period performance.

Both teams were inseparable through the first two periods, going scoreless into the first break before action kicked off in the second.

Tasman would open the scoring after Federal were reduced to 10 after a green card was given for interference.

Tasman’s Steve Miller found himself on the receiving end of a messy clearance from inside the circle, patting the ball in to take an early one goal lead.

Federal would answer back quickly, with a penalty corner on the stroke of regulation time that was converted

It was body-on-the-line action at Nelson Hockey as both teams refused to concede an inch before the floodgates opened in the final period. Photo: Barry Whitnall/ Shuttersport. after Tasman were unable to clear the attack.

The final period saw the two teams trade momentum, but

Tasman were the ones who were able to convert their chances to take a convincing win.

Federal did have their opportunities but could not find the back of the net, despite their best efforts.

Both teams played with a high level of skill, with the game played at a rapid and free-flowing pace that was hard to maintain as the match dragged on.

The win sees Tasman Black draw first-equal with Tasman White on the leaderboards with 23 points each.

Having exactly the same record of seven wins, two losses and two draws - Black currently sits on the top rung with a better goal differential.

The two top teams will playoff at Saxton Field this weekend.

Engarde for Nelson’s newest fencing club JACK MALCOLM Nelson’s fencing scene has gone from strength to strength since its newest club opened earlier this year.

With the backing of Christchurch’s Fencing Institute, the club is coached by Steve Wilbury.

Steve fenced nationally in America through high school, getting as far as the Junior Olympics, before stepping away for two decades until he looked to get back into the sport with the formation of the new club.

It was a perfect fit.

They were looking for a coach and he was eager to get back into it, having since started an Oceania course in teaching foil-style fencing.

The club has also introduced lightsaber fencing, following the French Fencing Federation’s recognition of the blade as a weapon alongside the foil, epee and sabre.

At the end of trainings, they have open sessions where students practise their lightsaber and spar with electronicallymonitored equip-

ment.

Steve says the club has been fortunate to have the support of The Fencing Institute and their coaches.

As part of starting the club, they sent coach Kate Brill to Nelson. She is a French trained Maitre d’Armes (coach), a two-time New Zealand Olympic Fencing Coach and produced New Zealand’s only Olympic Men’s Epee Finalist.

With the class growing termon-term, Steve says it’s been exciting to see the rapid progression.

“Pretty much everyone hadn’t touched a blade before. They’ve gone from being quite scared and timid to having intensive bouts. The growth has been really cool.

“From zero a year ago, it’s pretty cool.”

Beginners classes are on Friday evenings, with more experienced fencers training on Thursdays.

More information on getting involved can be found by contacting Steve on 022 109 9749.

Mag & Tyre Packages

A new name and a new logo for one of Richmond’s largest sporting clubs.

Richmond Football Club, formally known as Richmond Athletic Football Club, unveiled its new brand to members last week.

The new logo features the Richmond Ranges, the motto ‘Tasman Pride’, 1964 to mark the founding year of the club and seven red and black stripes. Each stripe represents a grade the club has teams in from First Kicks, Fun Football, Kids, Youth, Senior Womens, Senior Mens and Masters.

The rebrand was a collaboration between club members who put in around 300 collective hours of work from Chris Goff, who did the design work, Holly De Cesare, Stu Reid, Max Duncan and Josh Ryan.

Holly led the project and says it’s the start of a long-term plan for the future growth of the club. “We’re going through a process of future-proofing the club in the form of a longterm strategy and the main reason we decided do to the rebrand first that we recognised that it has been a turbulent couple of years and we thought ‘how can we do something for the club that generates interest and gets everyone excited and on-board with developing the long-term strategy?’ So we decided to do the fun stuff first and do the rebrand.”

She says the feedback so far has been very positive. “Having an identity that means something, is really important to our members. One of the reasons we left the shape of it as a crest is that, we’re a family and we wanted it like a family crest.”

A plan to expand clubrooms was also unveiled at the launch. While at the design-phase, the new clubrooms would see more changing room facilities, including facilities for the womens teams.

Holly says the future of the club is bright and the committee want to ensure it’s a club that is relevant for all players.
