Dairy owner: I don’t feel safe Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

A Nelson dairy owner says she feels “terrified” following an attempted robbery at her store, and is resorting to installing a panic

alarm to protect herself and her staff. Three fifteen-year-old boys, armed with knives, tried to rob the Roto Street Store in Tahunanui earlier this month, but they were arrested and charged thanks to the help of two members of the

public who stepped in. Owner Chanty Pich says it was a “lucky escape” but is now doing everything she can to prevent her store from being targeted again. She says she does not feel safe in her store, especially at night. “It is much worse at night as we

are always working by ourselves, so that is why I am looking into an alarm. “But the police come and check on us a bit and we are so thankful for that. They asked me what time I close my shop and say they will drive past before that.”

The Roto Street Store is one of five Nelson dairies to be targeted in a spate of robberies in the last four months, with the Night Owl Store, the Tahuna Store, the Hira Store and the Victory Discounter

NMIT’s hair-raising competition Brittany Spencer Hair spray was thick in the air and bobby pins were everywhere at the annual NMIT Hairdressing Competition yesterday. Split into three sections, the competition was comprised of a Year One section, Year Two Cut and Colour, and the ever popular Year Three Avant-garde Hair Up. Hair dressing tutor Zaley Gill says this year’s theme was “Then and Now” with students looking at fashion and hair from the past and giving their hairdos of today a novel twist. “All our hairdressers went really well,

there’s so much pressure on them but they all stepped up, taking inspiration from everywhere and then really evolving their ideas into all these amazing hairstyles.” The 34 students took inspiration from Vikings, Egyptians, Victorians, the 1960s and Mad Max, however it was Leni Kinloch’s rockabilly cupcake creation that took out the first year section. Patrick Conlon utilised vivid purples, blues, greens, and black to win the Cut and Colour, while the judges awarded Parku Kan-Mawi first place in the Avant-Garde Hair Up, for her Japanese horn-style.

“Yes. We have had insulation in the roof for about 20 years and we had insulation put in under the floor last year.”

“I live on a boat, so it doesn’t really apply to me - but I think it’s a good idea to make it more affordable for people.”

“We live in a new build, so yes, we have good insulation in our home.”

Dairy being hit. Police have made arrests for all of the robberies but one - the Tahuna Store incident. But despite police efforts, Nelson city’s deputy mayor Paul Matheson says more needs to be done and has organised a support meeting this Friday at the council chambers for both Nelson and Tasman dairy owners. “To have a spate of robberies like this is just unacceptable. Look at the ages of the offenders - I’ve never seen anything like it. “The cops have done a wonderful job catching them, but we need to put our eyes and ears out there and get ourselves in a room to ask ‘what can we do?’ “We want to let them know that they are not alone.” Paul says he has spoken to most

fearful of who is going to walk in the door. There is something special about your local dairy, and we should value that.”

Kamlash Maisuriya of The Tahuna Store on Muritai St says he thinks the meeting is a “good idea” and will be attending. He also said he hadn’t looked at any preventive measures since his store was robbed in April, but would be interested to hear what other people had to say. Paul is expecting Nelson City Councillors to be in attendance, as well as Victim Support, Neighbourhood Support and the Nelson Police. Nelson Bays Acting Area Commander Senior Sergeant Blair Hall says they’ll play their part at the meeting by offering advice and answering questions. “We’re always happy to work with council to build strong links with the community, and this is a good chance for dairy owners to come together to give support and build a network.”

Nelson App proves popular Locally Owned and Operated

Kate Russell Two months in and the Nelson App has already proven itself to be popular with Nelsonians. The app was launched last month and made an immediate impact, as the country’s fourth most downloaded news app for most of its first week. The only apps to beat it were national or international apps, like BBC and New Zealand Herald. Seven weeks on and the app has racked up close to 5000 downloads and now has a staggering 150-odd businesses advertising on it every week. The app features news, sport, weather, things to do, movie and theatre listings, trades and services, restaurants and pubs, a gig guide, real estate, health and beauty, a kids corner, flight information, maps of the region’s mountainbike tracks, walking tracks and cycle ways and much more. Managing Director of the locally-owned Nelson App, Andrew Board, says it’s perfect for locals as well as visitors to the region. “We wanted to make it an app for locals first and foremost, it

Then we looked at what visitors would like to see, basically something that would act as a portal for all of Nelson and Tasman,” he says. “And so far the feedback has been phenomenal. People tell us they love it, so we’re delighted.” Andrew says the Nelson App isn’t the first of its kind, with sister apps in Wanaka and Central Otago with another due to launch soon in Ashburton. “Hopefully we’ll see an app

like this in every city and town of the South Island so when you travel to a new place you simply need to download their app and then delete it on your way out. It’s so easy for people to use and gives you all the information you need in one place.” The Nelson App is free to download and is available for anyone with a smartphone. You simply need to visit the App Store (for Apple users) or Google Play (for Android users), search “The Nelson App” and follow the prompts.

Hopes for a warmer home Charles Anderson Journalist

charles@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Neil Scott is used to checking the thermometer at his Toi Toi home and seeing the mercury drop as low as 6 degrees Celsius. “That’s no good, not when you have got three kids around.” Neil bought the home seven years ago and knew that he needed it to be warmer, but struggled to find the money or finances to do so. That struggle has taken its toll. Neil now has a chronic breathing disorder and two of his three sons have asthma. “It’s important that they are protected,” Neil says. “But the blankets aren’t enough.” He has also just recovered from a flu that has had him bedridden for six weeks. “It’s that nasty strain that is going around.”

Locally Owned and Operated

Neil spends his days distributing rescued food from around the city to Victory Community Centre - helping those in need. “It’s all for the local community but we get people as far away as Tahuna coming in. It’s really needed.” But it is Neil and his family that needed help when it came to staying warm and dry. For three years he tried to get a company to install and system that would take the dampness out of his home. He was going to try and pay it off himself but admits his “finances aren’t A1”. But a friend of his started working for Comfortmaster, which installs such systems, and donated Neil and his family their product. “They reckon I’ll notice a big difference … “I’m really grateful.”

Local homeowners up for insulation subsidy Nelson Tasman Marlborough group had a meeting, organised by local MP Nick Smith, with Energy Minister Judith Collins when she was in Nelson earlier in the year. Local trustee Bill Dahlberg says the group, including Absolute Energy’s Paul Brockie, discussed the programme in the Nelson region and highlighted that homeowners with young child were

Airport’s millionth passenger Locally Owned and Operated

Brittany Spencer

The last thing Abby Nalder expected when she stepped off her flight from Auckland was to be surrounded by cheering crowds. But that is exactly what the 15-year-old local got when she became the Nelson Airport’s millionth customer in a year. “I was a bit overwhelmed when I walked in.”

Abby had just returned from a family trip to Auckland and was presented with a prize pack - which included a bouquet of flowers and a chocolate cake. She will also be planning another trip, with her mother to Wellington, as return flights for two were also included in the prize. “It feels pretty cool to be the millionth customer, it’s pretty exciting.”

Nelson Airport chief executive Rob Evans has been a man on a mission in reaching the goal of a million passengers in a year and trying to make Nelson the best regional airport in New Zealand. “This milestone is of huge significance to us,” he says. “The continued exemplary service from our airline partners has created an environment of competition and choice that travellers have been lapping up.”

He says this growth reinforces the need for the current Nelson Airport redevelopment. The first piles for the new Nelson Airport Terminal were put in place last Tuesday. “We are excited that our customers will get to experience a state-of-the-art Nelson Airport Terminal opening in early 2019.” In the meantime, Abby will enjoy her trip to Wellington but she had to pass on the chocolate cake as she is gluten free.

Air New Zealand’s Ian Collier says it’s “brilliant” to see Nelson Airport doing so well. “[It’s] a reflection of the overall success of the Nelson region. Nelson is Air New Zealand’s busiest regional port and one of our largest cargo hubs outside of Auckland. On average, we operate almost 700 flights to and from Nelson each week and we’ve added 7 per cent additional seats in the past 12 months.”

Jack, 14, hoping for his first bike Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Fourteen year old Jack Roberts is saving for his first bike, but he needs the help of the community to make it a reality. You see, Jack isn’t your ordinary teenage boy and the bike he needs comes with a $10,000 price tag. The Stoke teenager was born with a rare genetic disease called Kabuki Syndrome, which means that he has very low muscle tone, and can only walk short distances. Jack’s mother Sue says it would

be “life-changing” for Jack, and would help to increase his endurance, fitness, muscle tone, overall health and enable him to participate in the range of sports that he enjoys. “He loves sports and goes to the pool, but as he gets older, the more his body has to work to hold itself,” she says. The sort of bike that Jack needs is actually a huge side-by-side custom-made trike, which he was able to try out when Trikes NZ visited Nelson recently. “He’s never had a bike and we’ve thought on and off how nice it would be. But he’s got no sense of

balance. So when Trikes NZ came to Nelson we went to have a look and what they had was amazing. He had a try on one with his older brother and had an absolute ball.” The trike allows someone to sit next to him, and they can both pedal. It also has a motor which can kick in for hill-climbs or long distances. But Sue says the trike is “way out of their price range”, costing $10,029 - not to mention an additional $1500 for a safe storage shed. So far they are about one third of the way there, thanks to some fundraising efforts and the IHC donating $2500 – but they

still have a long way to go. A givealittle page has been started, which Sue is hoping they can boost with the help of the community. They also have a cafe evening planned for August 6 at Saxton Stadium. “It melts your heart that people care enough to help you out and we are absolutely so grateful to the people who have helped so

far. “Every kiwi kid should have a bike – it goes without saying. He and his brother can bike to Wakefield to visit his sister and he’ll be able to have his teacher aide at Nayland College ride with him at school.” To help Jack, you can donate at givealittle.co.nz/cause/lifechang ing4jack

Old family truck lost and found Charles Anderson Journalist

charles@nelsonweekly.co.nz

When the 1974 Bedford truck came rattling down the road, Gary Griffith thought he had seen a ghost. “All I could say was ‘oh my God’.” The last time Gary laid eyes on it was 17 years earlier at his father Arnold’s funeral. It had belonged to Arnold for many years and he took great care of it, hauling firewood across the region. “It just reminds me of hard work,” says Gary. The truck was sold shortly before Arnold died in 2000. But that truck took Arnold to Motueka Cemetery to be buried. Gary’s son, Dion, remembered the truck too. Over the years he had seen it around the place but then lost track of it. That was until the window installer did a job for a neighbour in Mapua. He noted the truck in the driveway. It was looking a little rusted and needed some work. After a short conversation with the client Dion realised that it was, in fact, the family truck. “I couldn’t believe it was just around the corner all this time.”

LEFT: Dion's grandfather's 1974 Bedford truck after he bought it, but before it was recently restored. Photo: Supplied. So Dion did him a quote for the windows. “Then I did him a quote for the windows with that truck included.” The owner had received offers

before and always declined them. But once he heard the story about how much it had meant to the family, he made the deal. Then the difficulty was keeping it a secret. Dion wanted to surprise

his dad so he took it home and sanded off the rust and tried to polish it up the best he could. Arnold was always pedantic about making sure it looked good. “He loved cleaning and painting

these things. He always worked on them.” That enthusiasm for cars has dripped down through the generations and now Gary and Dion own several muscle cars between them. Despite the rust, the Bedford’s engine still turned over like it did all those years ago. “I heard a rumour that Dion had found it, but that was about it,” says Gary. Then there was the big reveal. Gary was standing outside his house when Dion pulled up. “I couldn’t believe it,” Gary says. “It’s just fantastic.” It has become a great talking point with the wider family who are chuffed with the blast from the past. Dion’s nine-year-old son JD thinks “it’s pretty cool, too” - it reminds him of an character called Mater from the movie “Cars”. “So that’s four generation of our family with involvement in this truck,” Dion says. “It won’t mean much to anybody else but this truck means a lot to us. It’s quite sentimental.” All that’s left to do is to figure out a new number plate. “We think ‘Oh my God’ might work nicely,” Gary says.

Giants' garage sale unearths sentimental singlet Jessie Johnston Reporter

jessie@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Local basketball fans got the chance to grab themselves a piece of Nelson basketball memorabilia last Sunday when the Mike Pero Nelson Giants put some of their old gear up for sale. “We’ve got a big container that we put our gear in between seasons, so we just had a big clean out of all the stuff that was just sitting there,” says Mike Pero Nelson Giants administrator, Janie Granger. Items included former playing singlets and shorts, track pants, balls and other Nelson Giants-branded items. “The gear isn’t ancient, when the sponsors change you can’t use the gear anymore and it seemed a waste to dump it when people can get some use out of it,” says Janie.

When Janie’s son and current Giants player Ali Granger was looking through some of the items prior to the sale, he came across the singlet of his friend and former team mate, Brad Maclachlan. “A lot of the time you don’t get to keep the uniform because they need it for the next year’s preseason, and then they just sort of get put away and never get given to the people who wore them,” says Ali. Brad and Ali got to know each other through the U17 South Island team. Originally from Te Anau, Brad was encouraged to further his basketball career elsewhere and Ali, who was already part of the wider Giants training group, told him to come to Nelson College, which he did. After playing for the Nelson Giants for a year or so, Brad decided to focus on a career in helicopters, and began

training to be a pilot. Two years ago, he was involved in a helicopter crash that left him a paraplegic, although he still works for a helicopter business down in Franz Josef. Ali, who recently got back from visiting Brad, says he hasn’t told his former team mate about the singlet and will be posting it down as a surprise. “I would say he does have some gear from when he played but that was six or seven years ago, so it’s going to get worn out. It’s good memorabilia and he’s just bought a house so he can hang it on the wall in his man cave or shed,” says Ali. “He’s got a whole new life down there and most of his friends wouldn’t even know that he was a semi-pro basketball player.”

GOT Boating safety SPORTS course for women NEWS? Locally Owned and Operated

Simon Bloomberg

Coastguard Nelson is running a course aimed at giving women sailors the knowledge to be able to take the helm if there is an emergency and they are suddenly left in charge of the boat. 'Suddenly in Charge' seminars have been part of Coastguard Northern Region’s boating safety education initiatives and now Nelson is “borrowing” the concept. The course is run by women, for women, and covers key safe boating topics so that they can take charge of the boat in an emergency. Coastguard Nelson regional instructor Rosie Musters says the seminar is aimed at women with little or no boating experience, although all women are welcome to attend. It will cover navigational rules, buoys and beacons, VHF radio operation, safety equipment and rope work, and lasts two hours. Although Suddenly in

Coastguard Nelson's, from left, Rosie Musters, Rosie Furniss and Maureen May are running a boating safety course for women. Photo: Simon Bloomberg. Charge will give women a good understanding of basic boating safety, Rosie says it is not a substitute for the Coastguard’s Day Skipper, Marine VHF Radio Operator and Boat Master courses. “There are lots of women out there who go out boating or sailing with their husbands or partners and don’t know anything about operating the boat because they are not the ones doing it,” Rosie says. “That’s okay until something happens and the women need to be able to take over.”

Coastguard Nelson committee member Maureen May, who will be helping run the seminar with Rosie and Rosie Furniss, says it’s important to have a seminar run by women, for women, because it can be less intimidating for them. She says it’s also a better option than a husband trying to teach his wife the basics of boating safety because “that doesn’t always work very well”. “It’s like people trying to teach members of their own family to drive,” Maureen

says. “It’s not always the best thing for relationships.” Maureen also stresses that the seminar isn’t stereotyping women, but is simply a response to “a very real need”. “We have around 400 members of the Tasman Bay Cruising Club and there’s also the Nelson Yacht Club and all the boaties who take their families fishing. If half of those are wives or partners then that’s a lot of women out in boats and not all of them have the knowledge to take over if something goes wrong.” Suddenly in Charge will be held at the Tasman Bay Cruising Club at 8 Cross Quay, off Akersten St in Port Nelson, on Wednesday at August 2 from 7pm to 9.30pm. Registration costs $40 with all proceeds going to support Coastguard Nelson. For bookings and further information email maureen_may@xtra.co.nz or phone 0274866850.

Passionate about reducing plastic

Nelson woman Lesley Kuykendall is making reusable bags out of curtains and giving them away to customers at The Vege Stall in Tahunanui, in a bid to reduce the use of plastic bags. Photo: Kate Russell.

Kate Russell

Lesley Kuykendall has been taking her own reusable bags to the grocery store for the last 25 years. And now she is encouraging more Nelsonians to ditch the plastic, by sewing bags out of curtains and giving them away for free at a Tahunanui vegetable shop. Lesley has been a volunteer at The Vege Stall for the past 12 months, with her main job being to pack produce into bags for customers. “I found myself grabbing these single-use plastic bags all the time, and then the penny dropped. I thought, ‘we can do better than this – we ought to be using reusable bags’.” Lesley had also seen what some locals were doing by making boomerang bags – reusable bags which are made out of recycled material by volunteers and left at shops for people to use and then return. “I guess that planted the seed in my mind.” It is also timely, with Plastic Free July rounding up another successful campaign to raise awareness of the problems with single-use disposable plastic. Lesley has made 12 bags so far, out of her old living room curtains, and she plans to make more to give away. “We were getting new curtains put in, and when I took the old ones down I thought ‘that’s good material, I could make bags out of these.’ “Curtains actually work well, as they are selflined and the material is strong.” And it didn’t take her long to whip them up. “Once you get going on a production line, it’s pretty straight forward.” She says customers could return the bags, or keep them. “Most customers were happy to take one home, although a couple of people said, ‘oh wait, I’ve actually got some reusable bags in my car’ and went and got them. That, to me, was interesting. But, it’s habit – and it takes quite a bit of mental energy to change habits.” Lesley thinks it’s not realistic to ban single-use plastic bags altogether, but she would like to see more supermarkets and shops start charging for them. “Banning them is a little extreme, and charging ten cents is not enough of a deterrent - it needs to be more like fifty cents. “But I get the impression now that people generally want to use less plastic, which is promising.”

your questions

My income only just covers my expenses; I feel trapped in a cycle of living from pay check to pay check. What can I do? To have extra cash there are two options to consider: reducing expenses or increasing income. Consider ways that you can increase your income by looking at your skills and assets.

 Many of your skills are worth money to others e.g. - Book keeping - Handyman / fix-it person - Craft / Sewing - Gardener / Lawn mowing - Editing essays - Tutor - Child care / Elder care - Cooking / Cleaning - Dog walking / Pet-sitting - Work experiences and training  What assets can use to make some extra money? - Tools/equipment - Spare room (rent out for boarder, student, office space or storage) - Garage (rent for storage/work space or use to create product for sale) - Computer / Internet access Remember, your current situation doesn’t determine your future.

Your Voice Farmers market needs new home: I hope they can find a spot in the city. Rose Linde. What about having it in Anzac Park? Carol Farmer. Or back at Founders on a Friday night or early afternoon/evening. Ema Soole. Funny. If it wasn't for the market, I wouldn't have even known there were any retail shops there. Sergey Ratakhin. What about the river bank area from outside river kitchen to Collingwood St bridge?? Kate Webster. What about top end Trafalgar? Trial the new pedestrian only? Etana Emissary. The old netball court.

Convenience stores for Suburban Club site: Three convenience stores within 100 meters of each other - yip I'm sure that's needed!! Marie Harrison.

What about a supermarket? Kimberly Martin.

Sounds a great idea and wish them well. Hopefully will be a success. With a good range of shops in it. Hope most people in the area will see it more positively than the negative comments that have been posted. Yes, a supermarket would be good, something like a metro New World or Fresh Choice would be good - sort of an express store.

Oh no. That is not good at all. Are all these people refusing to take their flu shots like me. I hope you are feeling better. Victoria Taylor. Get a flu injection, people. Susan Benbrook. If you are an older person, like me, you need to get the flu injection next year. It works. Just my opinion. Stephen Bell. On what scientific evidence does Nelson GP spokesman Graham Loveridge base his statement that the 'flu vaccine is "probably 60% effective"? The Cochrane Collaboration, an internationally recognised gold standard in systematic reviews, found that across all age groups the 'flu vaccine was no more effective in preventing the 'flu than a placebo. Dr Loveridge is to be commended for his practical advice on staying healthy. However, he failed to mention two of the most important factors - nutrient rich food and optimal Vitamin D. Judy Crowe.

Sinatra Select pays tribute to Jack’s biggest fan: Frank Sinatra. Made with our unique “Sinatra Barrels” that have deep grooves specially carved into their staves to expose the whiskey to extra layers of toasted oak. This added exposure imparts a rich amber color, bold character, and pleasant smokiness, punctuated by an incredibly smooth vanilla finish. Much like Frank, this Tennessee Whiskey is one of a kind.

Jack Daniel’s Gold No. 27 with Gift Box

150th Anniversary Limited Edition Decanter

Jack Daniel's believed "Every day we make it, we'll make it the best we can." For Jack, that meant mellowing his whiskey, drop by drop, through 10 feet of sugar maple charcoal. Seven generations later, they still mellow the whiskey just as Mr. Jack did. The reason is simple - it imparts a distinctive smoothness folks have come to expect of Jack Daniel’s charcoal mellowing which makes Jack Daniel’s what it is - a Tennessee Whiskey, and not a Bourbon. It refines the whiskey’s rich flavour even before it is fully matured in barrels of their own making. Yes, it’s a painstaking process that demands extra attention and makes the whiskey a bit more costly to craft. But Mr. Jack wouldn’t have it any other way.

No dead end in Gemma’s rising career Judene Edgar Reporter

judene@waimeaweekly.co.nz

She’s back home for the holidays, but 18-year-old former Nelson College for Girls pop singersongwriter Gemma Christall is not spending her time catching up on sleep, although she does hope to catch up on some TV – The Cul de Sac - that features her song ‘Your Head’. Not too many years ago you might have found Gemma playing Christmas music in her family’s Paper Plus store in the Richmond Mall, but her true passion is writing her own songs. Inspired by her guitar teacher when she was 10 years old, she looks back on her old songs with a good degree of humour. “When you write you need to draw on your own experiences, but at 10 I didn’t really have a lot, so I would make up scenarios. They’re pretty funny to look back on now.” Performing at school one day she was approached to join her first band, One Notch Higher, which

gave her the opportunity to write songs for a band. “It was quite different having to think about all the different aspects of the composition – what are the drums going to do, what is the piano going to do, how do we get the audience involved.” Gemma entered Smokefree RockQuest with One Notch Higher for two years, making it into the regional finals, before going solo in 2015, winning the Nelson section, and then joining Nelson College for Girls band Lane 3 in 2016 and taking out the regional finals. However, her recording breaks have come through Play it Strange, the Lion Foundation songwriting competition that has seen previous winners such as Georgia Nott, Kimbra and Annah Mac, in no small part thanks to her producer Ryan Beehre, formerly of Minuit. “Mum bought recording equipment for Christmas and we couldn’t get it to work, so Ryan, who was working part-time at the Rock Shop, just happened to come over and fix it”, she says.

At home for the holidays, Gemma Christall is still busy composing. Photo: Judene Edgar. And they’ve been producing music together since. While a songwriting competition, the Play it Strange entry involves submitting a recording of your song as well and is judged on both lyrics and composition. The top 40 entries each year win the cost of a recording session and distribution of their music. In 2015 her song ‘Curse’ was selected and in 2016 ‘Your Head’, which has

U WA KA T E A TR E TH E C DA N PRE SEN TS

TUES Housie

given her music a wider audience, including Greenstone TV who selected her song for the most recent episode of The Cul de Sac, which stars Shortland Street’s Amanda Billing and aired last Sunday evening on TVNZ 2. Now at Auckland University studying Pop Music and Com-

munications, Gemma is very aware of the competitive industry that she’s signed herself up for. “It doesn’t really matter how long it takes. It’s just about getting my music out there,” she says. Her next challenge is meeting the criteria for NZ On Air’s ‘New Music Single’ funding so she can release her first single. But in the meantime, her studies mean she has to write and produce a song every two weeks, attend open mic sessions, as well as learning about such things as music piracy and marketing. Her mother, Paula Radford, is understandably proud of her daughter. “It’s been her dream for so long, so it’s great to see all her hard work being recognised and seeing her achieving what she wants.” Check out Gemma’s music and support her at https://www.facebook.com/gemmachristallmusic/

Memorial planting tradition continues It was the 21st anniversary of a very special planting event earlier this month. Marsden House Funeral Directors has been working with Council every year for the past two decades to organise this event. The team from Marsden House sponsor the plants and invite families who have lost a loved one during the year to come along and plant a tree in their memory. Council provides the site, equipment and some planting expertise if needed. This year, the site was at Saxton Field, by the new pond. 120 native trees were planted to form a Podocarp forest including rimu, totara, kahikatea, miro, tawhairaunui (red beech) and kowhai. Previously, all the planting events have been along the Railway Reserve – mainly planting the camellias that are now such a popular feature of this walk. Thanks to Marsden House for starting this initiative and to all the families who have helped to make our city more beautiful in memory of the ones they’ve lost.

Ethnic diversity and ageing in Nelson Nelson Multicultural Council has released a new report to help the city better understand the challenges and opportunities faced by ageing Nelson residents who were born overseas. The project, “Ethnic Diversity and Ageing in Nelson”, was undertaken on behalf of Nelson City Council, and gathered ten stories of residents from a diverse ethnic background. It highlights both the positive aspects, along with future challenges for individuals and the community from a diverse ethnicity, as the percentage of Nelson people over 60 increases. Key observations from the report include: • Nelson offering a great lifestyle; • A good health system; • Feeling safe in Nelson; • Older migrants are volunteering as a way of connecting and giving back; • Looking for smaller, newer houses in a city with a perceived high cost of living; • The strong role of young people and intergenerational connection when ageing from a diverse ethnicity in Nelson;

Don’t forget the dog! Thanks to everyone who has already registered their dog for the year. Please be aware that if you don’t get this done by 1 August, a late payment penalty of 50% of the registration fee will apply. You should also know that any dog

• There is an opportunity to provide and promote more connection between older migrants and long term residents of Nelson. Nelson Multicultural Council aims to use its findings to guide future work in the wider Nelson community to support this age group. Nelson Multicultural Council spokesperson, Jenni Bancroft, says the report has been a valuable exercise that will help shape their future approach. “We hope that we can work with other community groups and agencies to use the findings to assist with planning and service delivery for the future.” Chair of Community Services Committee, Councillor Gaile Noonan, says highlighting the challenges and opportunities people face in Nelson is important. “It’s about ensuring we are aware of what works and what we can do better.

Sharing and caring It's a good time to remind cyclists and motorists what a "sharrow" road marking is. The sharrows, which are a bike symbol with arrows in front, indicate that cyclists can position themselves safely in lanes where it is too narrow for a motor vehicle and a bicycle to comfortably travel side by side. This applies to the entire length of road where the sharrows are painted. Please note: The sharrow markings are not intended to show exactly where on the road you should ride.

The Nelson Regional Sewerage Business Unit (NRSBU) is trialling the use of wind powered mixers in one of its treatment ponds at Bell Island. Being wind powered, the mixers will offer a considerable saving in operating costs. While not yet widely used in our part of the world, two other facilities in Australia have installed this technology and have seen improvements in the efficiency of the treatment ponds alongside the energy savings. In the long term, the mixers have the potential to reduce the overall level of sludge in the ponds, reducing the need for desludging them. This is a process that usually needs to be carried out every 20 – 25 years when using conventional management methods. Currently, the system is only installed in one treatment pond, which will allow staff to easily measure its effectiveness in comparison to the other ponds. If the new technology works as expected, the potential benefits could include: • Extending the useful life of the treatment pond; • Avoiding undertaking an environmental analysis and obtaining consents for sludge disposal; • Improving the quality of the effluent discharged from the WWTP; • Significant cost savings by deferring conventional sludge removal. Gurney Environmental, the company that has provided the new equipment, has done so at a 50% investment, until its effectiveness is demonstrated. If the NRSBU does achieve the expected improvements, it is obliged to pay the company in full for the equipment and may consider installing it throughout the treatment plant.

Finally, those who have had to travel outside of Nelson for their storage requirements can save a whole lot of petrol and time thanks to City Storage, Nelson’s newest storage yard. Dave Verry is no stranger to the world of storage, being the second longest-standing storage provider in Nelson, and is proud to be able to provide this convenient service to local business owners and private customers. Dave entered the industry in 1993, opening his own storage yard in Tahuna in 1994, then one in Blenheim in 2004, before purchasing a storage business in Richmond in 2012. After 24 years working in the industry, it’s safe to say

Dave is a storage expert and takes pride in offering units that will keep clients possessions safe and secure. Located on St Vincent St, the land has been in Dave’s ownership for the last 12 years, and while several other business opportunities have arisen during that time, Dave has listened to the feedback from local business owners and clients who desperately want a storage yard close to the Nelson CBD. “There nothing really in the city for those wanting to store personal items or stock, and I’ve thought about creating a yard for years. I previously had containers on the site, which aren’t ideal storage solutions, which is why I decided to go ahead with these purpose-built units,” says Dave. Having just opened for business, Dave says the units are in hot demand with

a handful already taken by some very happy clients. City Storage features 51 sites that have been purpose-designed and built to ensure maximum protection. For example, each unit is vermin-proof and waterproof, including an insulated concrete floor to ensure no moisture can rise up through the ground. The walls have been constructed right to the ceiling so in the unlikely event of a fire breaking out, it cannot easily travel to the neighbouring unit, plus, by using laminated beams, the rate at which a fire could spread has been significantly reduced. It’s well known that shipping containers or tin constructed sheds sweat, leading to moisture on people’s property, however Dave has used wood throughout all his units to ensure people’s items stay

completely dry. Out of the 51 units, 49 of them measure 6m by 3m while one is an extra half metre and the other has been cut in half to accommodate Dave’s office. “A 6m by 3m unit is the perfect size for the contents of a three to four-bedroom house, or for a vehicle with a bit of furniture down the side. I have 80 units of this size in my Tahuna yard and as soon as one becomes available, I have no problem renting it out again. They’re by far more popular than a smaller or larger unit,” says Dave. As well as storing cars, motorbikes and the contents of people’s homes, Dave says City Storage is the perfect place for businesses to keep stock, whether they’re after year-round storage, or a seasonal solution for extra stock over the Christmas period.

Lorraine has been a keen motorcyclist from an early age. It was after a fiveyear riding/camping/working tour covering all of Britain, Europe, Turkey and Russia, that Lorraine decided she was hooked on overseas motorcycle touring. In later years, after numerous and repeated tours in India, Ladahk, Bhutan, Sikkim, Nepal, Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand, she realised that the Himalayas drew her back time after time. There is no one in New Zealand providing tours to this part of the world, so Lorraine decided to start her own company after she retired from her full- time career in the education industry. In conjunction with an experienced team based in Kathmandu, Lorraine is taking tours through the mountains of Nepal and Tibet, starting this October. The tours are either 14 or 16 days and the costs cover everything except your airfares to get to Kathmandu. There is also a “Ladies Only” tour where you can choose to ride or travel in an air-conditioned vehicle. Lorraine promises that these tours will be a trip of a lifetime for you.

As a business owner, your skills lie in the products and services you provide clients, not necessarily the administration. Fortunately, the ladies at Accounts Dept. are experts when it comes to numbers and business systems, and they’re here to help with all your administration requirements. Accounts Dept. is a team of highly-skilled women who take pride in using their diverse knowledge and skills to help local businesses achieve success. Previously located on Trafalgar street, Accounts Dept. has recently moved to Richmond and the team is thrilled with their new office at 4/203 Queen St, above Summit. The office features easier access for visiting clients, free parking and is now central to businesses throughout the top of the South Island. The team has noticed an increase in business owners seeking assistance with payroll systems, although Accounts Dept.’s services cover everything from data entry, credit control and GST returns, to the proactive management of receivables and bank reconciliations and general business assistance. Because many businesses these days operate remotely or off-site, it isn’t necessary to have an office when Accounts Dept. can sort all the paperwork for you, give them a call to discuss your administration needs. If you’ve never tried souvlaki before, you need to head along to Flavours of Cairo in Richmond’s Sundial Square. Danielle Hennessy proudly introduced locals to Flavours of Cairo in 2015 and says it remains the only souvlaki restaurant in the area. Danielle and her team are proud to bring locals a different option when it comes to healthy and tasty takeaway food and have a variety of loyal customers who love their food, and you will see why. Danielle says they cook all the meat for their dishes fresh to order, unlike standard kebabs, while the rest of the ingredients that go into their souvlaki and kebab meals are also fresh and, where possible, sourced from local producers. You won’t find packet sauces in their kitchen, either, as they like to make as much from scratch as possible, ensuring you experience the authentic flavours of Egypt and Greece. Flavours of Cairo is also excited to be extending their menu with a new range of delicious burgers and Danielle is sure customers will love these just as much as their other popular products. Also on offer are great platters, which can be prepared for staff meetings, lunches or events. Simplicity Funerals Nelson are firm believers that all funerals should reflect the wishes of the family and/or deceased, no matter what the financial circumstances may be. It’s a philosophy that Anna Loach and Andrea Babington ensure is upheld. Both women are experienced, qualified funeral directors, with Anna leading the Simplicity Funerals Nelson team as manager. Anna was introduced to the funeral industry over ten years ago, becoming a qualified funeral director with FDANZ in 2012. Originally from the UK where she ran her own business, Anna not only feels privileged to live in such a beautiful part of the world, but is passionate about the funeral services she provides to the Nelson region. Andrea, who has called Nelson home since 2002, also considers it an immense honour to work alongside families through what can be a very challenging time. When it comes to organising a funeral there is a lot to take into account, Anna, Andrea and the team at Simplicity Funerals Nelson are here to make this process as easy as possible. Call in and see them at 69 Haven Rd, or contact them today on 539 0066 at any time.

It will be the 20th year that the club has celebrated Henry Ford’s birthday and chairman Peter Soundy says the event is always popular, last year attracting 145 cars. Peter says it will also be the 20th year that club member Pat Rainbow has baked a birthday cake to mark the anniversary. Peter says there will be spot prizes and a sausage sizzle. The birthday celebration will be held at Rabbit Island, just past the Rough Island turn-off, on Sunday starting at 10am.

It has taken Norm Cross well over 40 years to finally get the car he really wanted, and now he can’t stop smiling everytime he turns the key and revs the engine of his classic Ford Capri. Norm bought his first car, a 1958 Worsley 1500, when he was 18. It was “a bit of a rust bucket with a rattly old engine” but it was all the young pipe fitter-welder could afford. Norm says he’s “owned quite a few cars since then” although none of them were much of an improvement on the Worsley. But that all changed three years ago when the Richmond car enthusiast retired and splashed out on a classic 1974 Mark I Ford Capri. “I’ve always liked cars but never been able to own a really nice one,” Norm says. “When I retired, I thought I’d treat myself – it’s something I’ve always wanted to do.” Norm says he decided to buy a classic Ford after talking to his former neighbour Tom Champion, who owned a Mark I Ford Cortina.

TUESDAY 25 July 2017

When Shane Grieve first played senior club rugby for Nelson he was fresh out of school and excited about testing himself with local legends of the game, 16 years on he is one of those legends. The evergreen open side flanker came out of retirement to play another season for Galbraith Group Nelson this year. He turned out to be one of the club's top performers, alongside his fellow loose forwards Ethan Blackadder and Willis Scott. The trio were pivotal to a strong start for Nelson as they beat Wanderers to claim the Car Company division one championship at Trafalgar Park on Saturday. For Shane, he says it was his favourite club title. "I've been there for a couple, but can't remember the first to be honest, I think it was around 2005. But this was the one I really wanted, to win it with these boys has been really special. We've had a tough year with injuries and what not, so it's been really special." Nelson co-coach Chris Pugh says hav-

ing Shane involved this year has been a big plus for the club. "He's a great guy to have in the team and he was part of that loose forward trio that really dominated the start of that game on Saturday, so he's still got it." Shane has been a member of the Nelson Rugby Club for most of his life. "I started playing for Nelson when I was six and played right up until I went to Nelson College, then straight after school I was back. I'm definitely a Nelson club man. I couldn't play for any other team." On whether he'll extend his post-retirement career for another season, he says he's unsure. "The boys have been asking me and honestly, I couldn't tell you. I really don't know. I guess I'll wait and see how I feel next year and take it from there." Shane wasn't the only club legend on the field on Saturday. Murray Roeske also came on as a substitute, after playing most of the year for the division two team. Chris says Murray also had a big impact on the team. "On and off the pitch, he's a great bloke to have around." Full coverage of Saturday's final is on pages 24 and 25.

SporTS FOOTBALL: In first division results, FC Nelson had a fruitful away trip, beating Motueka 4-1 thanks to a brace each from Wesley Olea and Brandon Pirere. Jonty Noble scored the hosts only goal. Nelson Suburbs beat Tahuna FC 4-2 with goals for Suburbs coming from Alex Coles, Lucas Hogg, Hamish Lewis and Max Winterton. Tahuna's goals were scored by Dan Killen and Jack Morris. At Jubilee Park, Richmond Athletic continued its dominance in the competition, beating Wakefield 5-1 with goals for the hosts coming from Nat Payn (2), Kyle Aitken, Dan Crimshaw and Ross Sloan. BASKETBALL: Tasman suffered a heartbreaking 85-81 overtime loss to Hawkes Bay in the Aon national under-15 boys basketball final in Dunedin on Saturday. The two teams were locked 72-all after regular time before Hawkes Bay prevailed in overtime. The Ed Book-coached Tasman had earlier lost just one game in pool play, also to Hawkes Bay 83-78, before winning their semi-final against Waitakere West 85-80.

Three of the region's four senior men's football championships were decided on Saturday, with Richmond Athletic the big winner. Richmond won two titles, the men's second and third divisions, with Nelson Suburbs winning the fourth division competition. The first division and women's divisions haven't been decided yet. Richmond's second division team was a comfortable three points ahead of its nearest rivals, FC Nelson reserves, when it lined up against FC Nelson Locomotive at Jubilee Park on Saturday. A draw would have seen them win the league. But a strong second half powered

Richmond to a 4-1 win, sparking celebrations on the club's main pitch. It was the second year in a row the club has won that division and coach Toby Gaskin says it was much tougher this year. "At the start of the year I said to the committee 'don't expect us to win it this year'. We only had about four players at the start, but we picked up a few more and the core six or seven players have really held it together." He says despite a three point lead heading into the game, there was never a thought to play for a draw. "The decision was that we had to go for the win but Locomotive put us under a lot of pressure. It was 1-1 at half time and it was only in the last ten minutes that we

pulled away." In the third division Richmond Thistle hosted FC Nelson NMIT, both teams were tied on 33 points heading into the game but, with a far superior goal difference, all Richmond needed was a draw to have its name engraved on the trophy. Player/manager Nick Rose says the team was keen to get a good result after the previous fixture against NMIT saw a 4-2 Richmond win reversed to a 3-0 loss after Richmond were deemed to field an ineligable player. "We felt like we owed them, so we were really happy to get a 5-1 win and win the league as a result." He says that Thistle have been transisting from a social side to one bringing younger players

through and that has helped them win the league this year. In the fourth division Nelson Suburbs Rovers were another team in the box seat, with a handy three point lead over nearest rival FC Nelson Masters heading into the league's final game of the year. Hosting Wakefield at home, Suburbs put the game beyond doubt by half time as they led 5-1. Two second half goals extended the lead. Player/manager Phil Williams says the beer was flowing after the win. "We played bloody well so I'm rapt we got the win. The last time we won this grade was about five years ago so it was great to win it again. There was a bit of beer flying everywhere and a bit of a sing song, it was great."

GaLBraiThs neLson ruGBy FooTBaLL CLuB They were the best club team all season and now Galbraith Group Nelson have the silverware to prove it. Nelson’s division one team had led the standings in the Tasman Trophy earlier this season, but an extra time loss to Waimea Old Boys in the final meant it had nothing to show for it. After finishing as top qualifier in the Car Company division one competition, Nelson were determined not to miss out again. “The boys were really focused and keen not to let another title slip. They really wanted it,” says co-coach Chris Pugh. And it showed. Nelson’s forward pack ripped into Wanderers in the early exchanges and the backs were dominate on defence and ran straight and hard on at-

tack. Nelson were the first to score, a try through co-captain Ethan Blackadder. Jackson Harvey darted over soon after and, after both tries were converted by Willy Havili, Nelson had shot out to a 14-0 lead. Wanderers were no pushovers though and showed their class to score the half ’s only other try to Fletcher Matthews. Nelson carried a 14-5 lead at half time and the pressure from the city club continued soon into the second half. Co-captain Chris Kerslake was the first to score for Nelson, then hooker Brendan AsumaGoodman joined in the fun. By this stage, Wanderers looked

defeated and Nelson got the rub on the green with Kerslake scoring a second and Havili pulling off an intercept to canter under the posts. Two late tries to Wanderers put them in double figures, but the 41-19 win reflected Nelson’s dominance. Coach Chris Pugh says, despite Nelson’s dominance throughout the season, it’s been a very tough year. “The amount of

injuries we’ve had has really tested us. At one point, our head coach Kade Heke had to put on the boots and play because we just didn’t have any front rowers. And after the Tasman Trophy final we lost eight players to injury. But I think all that has helped make the team tighter and created really good team spirit.” He says the team played its best game of the season on Saturday.

“Everything just clicked. We had a really good build-up in the morning with a couple of special things in the club, and that helped. We came out with a finals mentality and it showed, it was a big improvement from the week before.” With ten minutes to go in the final, Chris says he started to relax and enjoy the moment. “It was nice to get out on the bench and reflect on the season and really enjoy the moment. I was just proud of the players. They achieved what they were capable of.” Chris says a lot of credit needs to go to head coach Kade Heke. “He’s brought this team together over the past few years, he deserves a huge amount of credit. “Also to all of our sponsors, including Barry at Galbraith Group, Gareth and Speights Ale House and Nelson Weekly. All have been fantastic supporters.” The division one title has capped off another strong year for the senior club, but low numbers did hamper the division two side as it finished bottom-equal with the Country Combined team. The JAB club is far from done, with junior games kicking off again this Saturday after taking a break for the school holidays. So if you’re missing watching senior rugby you can always head down and support a local junior team.
