Natureland boss resigns Staff reporter
Five years after entering a lastminute bid to save Natureland from extiction, Meg Rutledge is moving on from the Tahunanui zoo. The Natureland director tendered her resignation to the trust behind the zoo in January after

stepping down from the board herself the month before. She says the time was right for someone else to come in and help take it to the next level. “I’m incredably proud of the work we’ve done here and the team who have made it what it is today.” The timing comes as the zoo
fights – once again – for its survival. A funding request of $248,000 a year to Nelson Meg Rutledge. City Council was knocked back to $170,000 a year.
That led to Natureland Wildlife Trust chair Alan Hinton writing to council warning them that the zoo would have to close as it could not operate on that amount of funding. He has tabled four possible options, including closing down or finding new owners if the request for $248,000 a year isn’t
granted. Meg’s partner Mike, a Nelson City councillor, stepped down from the board last April after a heated council meeting surrounding the council funding of the zoo. The meeting led to an investigation into his conduct.

Residents take action to save water Sara Hollyman After the driest January and February on record, Nelsonians are coming up with inventive ways to conserve water. Just 14mm of water was recorded at Nelson Airport since the beginning of the year pushing Nelson to stage 3 water rationing, meaning households can only use water for general household consumption with a total ban on hosing and sprinklers. In Tasman, water rationing is at stage 4, meaning households should be saving 25 per cent of water and businesses up to 40 per cent. Metservice meteorologist Tui McInnes says that the dry spell will continue this week, but a glimmer of hope exists in the form of a front moving onto the country over the weekend. “The front could get more active so we could see some rain but it’s hard to say where or how much, we won’t really know till later in the week, but it could be the case that it misses Nelson altogether.”

Builder Chris Donnelly says after a visit to the Maitai Dam in early February, his family decided to start conserving water where they could, and he’s amazed at the results. “We saw the dam at the beginning of February and the catcher by the spillway was still floating, now seeing the photos of what it looks like, I can’t believe how fast the water’s disappearing. Chris, his wife Juanita and their two children are re-using more than 300 litres a week by collecting water from the bathroom and laundry using a simple system of a milk bottle and buckets. “We’re collecting the water from the laundry and the shower into a bucket and we have turned the tap off into the toilet and fill the system by hand using that water.”
Supplying Quality Fresh Fish
He says the best way they’ve found to collect water from the shower over bath is to put the plug in and use a milk bottle with the end cut off to scoop the water out afterwards. Chris and his family are in the process of building a new home and have all of their new trees in their current backyard which desperately need watering and he says because of their conservation efforts they are “probably better watered now than they were before.” He also says a simple task such as washing your face can be a great opportunity to save water. “It’s quite interesting how much water actually goes down the drain when you start collecting it like that. I can fill three milk bottles (2L) just waiting for the water to warm up.” His tips for others wanting to

One wash fills the bucket and it pretty much overflows.” He does have a warning though:
“make sure you take the hose out before the spin cycle starts because it will suck the dirty water back into the machine.” Looking for ways to save water? Visit the Our Nelson button on the Nelson App.

Just ten weeks worth of water left Sara Hollyman Nelson has just ten weeks’ worth of reserves in its main water supply as the extent of the summer’s drought starts to impact on local businesses. Nelson has had 14mm of rain since the start of the year, the driest January and February on record which has prompted Stage 3 water restrictions, with Tasman District at Stage 4. At a Nelson City Council workshop last week, councillors were told that if the city did not get any rain, its reserves in the Maitai Dam would run out in May. One of Nelson’s largest waterusing businesses, Cedenco in Stoke, says the restrictions are having a huge roll-on effect and will hit employees in the pocket from later this month. Cedenco, which took over ENZAfoods in April last year, have had restrictions imposed as part of Tasman’s Stage 4 water rationing. Its general manager Geoff Hunter says they have already pushed out the starting date for their Fruit Ingredients Factory which makes products such as apple sauce, puree and ‘slice and dice’ apple products. The delay will have a roll-on effect for their whole business with factories such as juice products not being able to start on-time either. “We had a meeting with new staff on Monday informing

Photo: Sara Hollyman them of the delays to start dates but if nothing happens by later in the month, we will need to look at more drastic measures,” says Geoff. The factory, which employs 70 staff, was due to begin on Monday next week but will now wait until March 18, but Geoff says if there is no rain before then, they will need to look at options on how to best run the factory. “Instead of running 24/7 we may be restricted to 24/4 to stay within our limits. This impacts heavily on staff and their wages. Geoff says while most of their water comes from Tasman, they have been able to supplement some from Nelson. He says there is potential of a huge flow on effect of the restrictions. “We don’t want to buy the apples if they are just going to sit on the
yard and rot, so they may have to leave apples on the trees which will mean the orchards can’t hire the staff either so yeah, the potential there is very real for it to have a huge impact on the whole sector.” A Port Nelson spokesperson says they are also taking all reasonable measures to be considerate with water use “Any non-essential water consuming activities have been deferred. At this time, the Stage 3 restrictions that came into effect on Friday do not adversely affect our critical operations, or our ability to carry our functions that involve water use.” Other businesses were also affected by the Civil Defence machinery ban but Tasman District Council communications manager Chris Choat says that restriction has now been lifted.

Winning boat has explosive past Natureland It didn’t get in the water, but its presence alone was enough for Aurora to win the top prize at the NZ Antique and Classic Boat Show at Lake Rotoiti over the weekend. There was perfect weather and an air of celebration for the 20th anniversary of the popular event, with over 130 clinkers, steam launches, classic motorboats and sailing dinghies attracting a record crowd of over three thousand boating fans. Event director Pete Rainey says the Aurora captured the essence of the boat show as a boat with classic lines and a story to tell. “Over the past 20 years the Jens Hansen trophy for best vessel overall has gone to all sorts of boats - from perfectly restored craft to real workhorses of the sea,” he says. Aurora, a 1934 clinker, was built by Martin Monopoly and used to carry explosives from the powder magazine on the Boulder Bank for the construction of Rocks Road. “Aurora is a great winner for our 20th year and will be familiar to older Nelsonians – when her work as an explosives tender was done she became an excursion boat for trips to Haulashore Island and the Lighthouse and was then handed over to the sea scouts,” says Pete. Aurora has undergone an extensive restoration after being bought by Nelson man Dave Gallop in 2011. “When I found her she was in a sorry state in an old shed in Hope but I didn’t even have to get out of the car [to know I wanted it]… this was exactly what I was looking for

Dave says it isn’t far away from being ready for the water. “I live in Redwood Valley so was out
of our house for 15 days because of the fire, that put me behind a little bit and I didn’t want the first time on the water to be here – too many cameras,” he joked. He says he was shocked by the win. “I was a bit embarrassed actually because we had a 70th birthday party to attend in Nelson so missed the awards ceremony but I was very surprised.” Pete says both days over the
weekend had seen bigger crowds than usual at the Lake. “We’ve sailed on through some pretty poor weather in the past without ever cancelling so it was great for us to have two perfect days,” he says. “There’s no doubt we have a winning formula with displays on the land in the morning and the opportunity to chat to boat owners, then races on the lake in the afternoon.”
Meg says the battle for more council funds wasn’t part of her decision to resign. Board of trustees chair Alan Hinton says Meg has overseen a significant improvement in animal welfare. “Under Meg’s leadership our zoo has become a place where our community can learn about animals, interract with them, and see how even a small zoo can make an important contribution to animal conservation and rehabilitation.” The zoo has been transformed in the past five years with almost every enclosure either replaced or renovated. Natureland also achieved accreditation from the Zoo and Aquarium Association for positive animal welfare. “I have always felt that Natureland exists as a charity to serve our community and the animals in our care and I am so proud of the work that the team has done here over the past five years.” The board says it will be announcing the new director “in the near future”.

Putting a fresh focus on the city centre Locally Owned and Operated
Kate Russell It’s not an easy task revitalising a city centre you’ve only lived in for three months – but Alan Gray reckons he’s up for the challenge. Alan is Nelson City Council’s city centre development programme lead, a newlycreated role which he took up in December. His job is to create and lead a programme to transform and revitalise the city centre, a focus which has been dropped over the last few years. Alan was born and bred in the United States and comes from a ten-year role at Auckland Council, working on the waterfront, Wynyard Quarter, Queens Wharf and Quay St. He has a background in landscape architecture and holds a graduate degree in urban design. When the Nelson job listing popped up, he “cleared out the decks” to go after it. “My fiancé and I have been coming down here over the last three or so years and I quietly wore her down, saying, ‘we’re going to find a way of getting down there’. “I really wanted to be part of this. It’s exciting.” Alan will work across council to co-
Alan Gray is looking to bring fresh focus to the Nelson’s city centre in his new role. Photo: Kate Russell ordinate and prioritise city centre projects and policies, as well as form relationships with visitors, residents, businesses, property owners and developers. “You go back and read articles and old reports and it’s not for a lack of effort the city hasn’t changed,” he says. “There’s been a lot of initiatives - so understanding that background is really
important.” He’s even gone through all the public responses on the Long-Term Plan. “I’ve actually typed them up and ran them through a word cloud algorithm to see what really resonates with people. Generally, people really love their city centre here, so I take that very seriously.” Alan says his first job is “getting the picture
right”. “Nelson’s creative culture is something to really tap into and Upper Trafalgar has been a really good example of doing some trialing and getting people really onboard, so maybe we can do a bit more trialing to inform what we’re going to do with bigger projects on the horizon.” He says refocusing the stalled Church Street project is also a priority. “It’s easy for the scope of projects to get quite big and challenging. You have to really have a sense of what can be done. There’s a way, I think, you can deliver a project - you might have to be a bit creative, you might have to do a bit of extra work.” He also wants to focus on getting more people living in the city centre and says the Betts Carpark development is a good start. “Cities that feel safe, that are healthy and that have activities and events are usually good cities to live in. I want to build on the city centre as a social place.” And while Alan says it’s hard to build a city right out of the blocks, he’s looking forward to getting stuck in. “I don’t have some of the history, but as a fresh face, I think there is an opportunity with that.”

1700 Nelson kids take on TRYathlon Sara Hollyman
Tahunanui beach and the adjoining sports field were transformed into a sea of red, white and blue TRYathletes on Sunday as the WeetBix kids TRYathlon came to town. A highlight on the sports calendar for the more than 1700 children who took part, Sanitarium spokesperson Peter Levett says the event is about breaking down barriers and giving every single child the opportunity to get active. “To see kids crossing the finish line with prosthetic limbs and in wheelchairs is just something really amazing and is what it’s all about, giving every single kiwi kid an opportunity,” says Peter. The TRYathlon, which began with a single event in Auckland that attracted 500 participants, this year will see 32,000 children around the country take part, but Peter says coming to the regions is always something special. “I love coming to the regions because per capita we get a massive intake of kids, there’s about one in four kids in every region who take part, it’s just brilliant. “It’s great that so many kiwi kids are out in the fresh air doing something that they have to train for, and it really does excite them. Inge Stirling says her son Luca first took part in the event four years ago
and she found it so inspiring that she decided to give triathlon a go. “After his first time in the TRYathlon I just thought if he can do it then I can do it, and now we’ve got my husband into doing triathlons as well, he really inspired me to give it a go.” Another inspiration crossing the finish line for the first time were seven-year-old twins Kolja and Miro Romanowski. Miro, who has cerebral palsy, was helped through the cycling and running legs by Kolja and their mother Eva. The duo crossed the finish line together with huge smiles on their faces and their mother Eva Romanowski says she is “incredibly proud”. “Especially considering he (Kolja) was a very sick prem baby and now he has not only entered, he took it upon himself to pull-push an extra 30kg to share it with his twin. “I was going to do it with him till he came up to me one day and said ‘I have just attached the trailer to my bike, we can do it together’, it doesn’t get any better than that,” says Eva. Waiting at the finish line to give out well-deserved medals to all the kids were Nelson Mayor Rachel Reese and star athletes Anna Harrison, Sam Meech and Luuka Jones along with local triathlete Hayden Squance.

Apples smaller in size but big in flavour Like all Waimea businesses involved in food production, apple growers have had a tough time over the past couple of months, with dry conditions and cuts in water takes affecting fruit growth. That has meant apple sizes are smaller than normal but the upside of that is they are packed full of flavour, with sugar content high. Picking this year’s harvest began around the middle of
last month and David Easton, of Easton Apples, which has orchard blocks in Appleby and Mariri, near Motueka, says from what he has seen so far it’s a beautiful crop, with apples firm but tasty. Early harvest crops, such as the smitten variety, have been smaller but sweeter than usual, he says, while royal gala is looking “absolutely stunning”. Easton Apples employs just
over 60 workers through the Recognised Seasonal Employer scheme. There’s also 10 support staff and a handful of locals picking at Easton’s 70 hectares in the Appleby area and 10ha at Mariri. Picking is expected to take until the end of April. During that time it’s expected 13,500 bins of apples will be picked, with each bin taking about 380 to 400kg, depending on variety.

City apartment project kicks off Kate Russell
Demolition work has begun to make way for a new ecofriendly apartment complex in Nelson’s city centre. The Malthouse Lane apartments off Collingwood Street are being developed by Mark A’Court and Veronica Hippolite-A’Court, who own the Fresh Choice Nelson supermarket. The three-level architecturally designed complex comprises 13 energy efficient apartments, half of which have already been sold. Veronica says the eco-conscious
development brings a new dimension to Nelson’s city centre. “We’re very excited to be utilising this land in the heart of the city,” she says. “Our whole ethos is around trying to get people away from using their cars and generally just being kinder to the environment. “We are also firm advocates of building energy efficient and environmentally responsible homes and we’ve included aspects such as bike storage, electric car chargers and
automated car stackers.” They are also recycling demolition materials where possible. Designed by Andrew Irving from Irving Smith Architects, the complex will be terraced to ensure privacy for owners. The central site was originally a Malthouse, then a storage facility before becoming a blood bank in the 1970s. Construction of the complex will be undertaken by Gibbons Construction, with a scheduled completion date of Christmas 2020.

Graffiti artist Jacob ‘Yikes’ Ryan on Trafalgar St. Photo: Jonty Dine
Graffiti artists raise money for hospice Jonty Dine While the canvases were smaller, a group of Christchurch graffiti artists made a big impression on Nelson at the weekend. Upper Trafalgar was transformed into a make-shift gallery on Saturday and Sunday as the six artists showcased their skills with a spray-paint can. The event dubbed ‘Run Off ’ was organised by Burger Culture as a fundraiser. The Christchurch artists each created two pieces that will be auctioned off with the funds going towards the Nelson Hospice.
Jacob ‘Yikes’ Ryan says he is used to painting walls but was happy to lend his talents for the cause. “It’s a beautiful city, the people are friendly, and the sun is shining, what more could you want?” Jacob says he received a very positive response from people who took a break from their weekend shopping to admire his art. The 31-year-old is one of Christchurch’s best know artists and has left his mark all over the city with his commissioned murals. He says he was ‘winging’ his creations at the weekend, incorporating his trademark surrealistic creature characters with a spectrum of colour.
A brighter future!

Memories of a D’Urville life Locally Owned and Operated
Charles Anderson
Gilbert Leov says it takes a special type of character to live on D’Urville Island. He was taken to the 150km2 island in 1944, when he was nine-years-old. “I saw a whole heap of changes in that time.” Those changes have now been documented in an updated book recounting his family’s life there. Originally published in 1968 by Gilbert’s father Len, this new version that fills in much of the historical detail. It has been spearheaded by Gilbert’s daughter Christine, who was driven
to complete it as an 60th wedding anniversary present to him and his wife Barbara. The pair now live in a retirement village in Stoke but the memories of D’Urville loom large. “It was an interesting life, but my education was very much depleted,” Gilbert says. “I managed to survive because I had a good range of practical skills.” The book starts with the family’s patriarch Charles Augustus Leopold Leov who came to New Zealand from Pomerania in the early 1850s. He became a citizen, married and tried to settle down.
The story that is documented in ‘The King of D’Urville Island’ is about Charles’ “restless progeny who were pioneers with true grit,” according to Christine. Those children sought their fortunes in the gold fields and farming hostile of the region. The title of the book comes from a newspaper report from the 1960s, which attributed the name to Len when the island started to get roads. Included is some of the 20th century history of the island farms, Greville Harbour and Port Hardy, where Gilbert lived. After he came back from school in
Wellington he was put to work straight away, managing thousands of sheep and cattle on 1500 acres. “It’s all steep hill country,” he says. “You have to have a special character to live out there. It’s not for just anybody.” Barbara says it was a hard and lonely life for a wife and the pair eventually came back to Nelson after they started raising their own family. Gilbert tells it somewhat differently. “I was too busy to be lonely.” To purchase a copy of The King of D’Urville Island, call Barbara on 035380090.

Opinion
Your Voice Climate change: Two simple questions. 1. Do you love your children? 2. What are you doing about climate change? I’m sure you can see where I am going with this. For the care and protection of our children and their children, we must respond to the greatest existential threat of our times. Climate change is only beginning to plaque us, it can get much worse with inaction. Business as usual is making a future of horrific climate consequences. Again, we are only just now feeling the first of the effects and they are already extremely difficult. Sadly, it turns out that those who have been uncomfortably sounding the alarm on climate change were right. Remarkable science shows it’s time to address climate change because waiting is one of the worst things we could do. We are near to tipping points
when we won’t have the resilience to act that we have today. Assuming you love your children, what can you do about climate change? As you probably know, this is a complex question. Recycling and writing a letter to MP’s is really not going to tip the equation to a habitable planet at this point. We need broad policy directives that outline our economy, steer our business interactions with other countries towards sustainable commerce, and engage our citizens in living practices that limit greenhouse gas emissions. To do little or nothing is to betray the care and nurturing that is the contract between generations. To do little or nothing is the actual problem itself. Consider expanding your action on climate change. There is much to do, and you will find your purpose. Responding to this won’t be so hard once we get stuck in. The first step is always the most difficult. For our children, take that step. Jace Hobbs

Water restrictions: As Nelson gets to the point where water restrictions become more critical, it’s apparent this situation did not have to become as serious as it actually is. A hike up the Maitai below the water treatment plant would reveal water lines that have been neglected and are leaking badly. Megalitres of water are lost each minute. Over the last five years, council has diverted money for essential infrastructure to entertainment and to every lobby group putting its hand out for money. If restrictions reach the point where no home garden can be watered, it’s clear where the responsibility lies. Dan McGuire ‘Inventor Centre’ mooted for Nelson: That is awesome Pic!! You are always thinking ahead and giving forward! Amy Keeler Cornelisen
What a fab idea... maybe time to get my special sauce out there?? Lynette Lloyd Lovely man, great ideas, good on you and your team. Anne Bishop Council defends bridge water blast: This can be delayed a few weeks. Any contractor will understand it’s a drought. Come on NCC get your act together. Bruce Irvine Nonsense, this work was planned late last year before any drought was on the horizon. Little water is being used and paint needs warm temperatures to cure properly so it lasts. Lorraine Klenner Never mind about the amount of plastic they completely wrapped the bridge in - sheets and sheets of it! Joanne Paine
Nelson Matters I have never experienced such an angry response from Nelsonians to a Government proposal as I have over the past week to Labour’s Capital Gains Tax (CGT). People from all walks of life have been shocked to find in the detail how unfair this new tax would be. There are 50,000 people in Nelson and Tasman in Kiwisaver. These savings are invested by fund managers in shares. Labour’s new CGT applies annually to any increase in the value of these shares, eroding the returns to Kiwisavers. An earner on the average wage contributing the minimum 2% into Ki-
wisaver over their working life will be $64,000 worse off at retirement from this new tax. The cost is much more if you earn or contribute more. There is no point in Government encouraging people into schemes like Kiwisaver if the Government is then going to raid those funds with new taxes. Homeowners have also been surprised to find they can be hit with CGT despite Government assurances that the family home will be exempt. The new tax can apply if a household has flatmates, boarders, or has been used as an AirBnB. It also applies if the house is used as an
office, for a business, or is a lifestyle block. There are over 2,000 Nelson and Tasman households that have a boarder or a flatmate. These homeowners use this extra income to help pay the mortgage, rates and insurance bills. I have had distraught calls in the last week from a sole parent who has a boarder, a widow who takes in foreign students and a young couple who have flatmates. How can Labour say it is fair that these kiwi battlers pay the CGT on their home but those living in multi-million dollar mansions do not? Lifestyle block owners have also

been in touch questioning why they are being targeted. The CGT applies to any block of land over 0.45ha, even if it is the family home. There are over 1,000 in Nelson and Tasman. These owners feel aggrieved that their home property is subject to the CGT but not those with much more valuable home properties in towns or cities. The greatest concern about the CGT has come from Nelson’s 4,000 small businesses. Labour has no grasp of the hard work and risk involved or any appreciation of the 20,000 jobs they provide locally. Not every business is successful. It is unfair that if a

small business is sold at a profit, tax must be paid, but if there is a loss, there is no refund. The Government is playing heads we win, tails you lose. Nor is it fair that Maori land and iwi businesses are to be exempt. Labour’s CGT discourages saving and enterprise. It punishes people who work hard and take risks to get ahead. It increases the tax burden on our region by $130 million a year and will make us all poorer. Nelson does not need this unfair new tax.

John Butler Trio rocks Trafalgar Centre Jonty Dine He can be a loud man or he can be silent, but John Butler was certainly the prior as the band’s namesake rocked Nelson on Saturday night. Just under 4000 fans packed the Trafalgar Centre to see the Australian roots and rock band who were supported by Kiwis Fly my Pretties and L.A.B. John Butler and his four-piece
band played hits from their latest album, Home as well as their classic hits such as Zebra and Ocean. Managing director of Showcase Nelson Stu Allan says he was delighted with the turnout. “We had 3800 which is was what we were hoping for, so it was a big success all-round.” Stu says it’s the punters that make concerts a success and the Nelson crowd “went -off ”.
“The artists played their hearts out, the punters created an awesome atmosphere, it was a great Nelson vibe.” Stu felt a sense of redemption following the underwhelming performance the Out of the Blue festival in 2018. He says he hopes the concert is the catalyst to attract more big acts to the region. “I have some big plans and am fortunate to have some great investors backing us.”

Artist finds her calling after police career Kate Russell Brenda Knight has traded her police car for a paintbrush and she couldn’t be more content in her decision. The police officer turned artist quit her job as a detective in the New Zealand Police four years ago. At that stage she didn’t know what she wanted to do next – all she knew was that she had to get out of the force after nearly 10 years of service. “I knew deep down I had to leave and that something else was waiting for me. I had absolutely no idea what I was going to do. I just knew I had to do it.” Her art career began by pure chance. After taking a year off, she renovated her house. When it came to decorating, she wanted to put some largescale, funky abstract art on the new white walls, but couldn’t find anything she liked. So, she thought, ‘I’ll just do it’. “I literally went into an art supply store and just asked for some supplies. Someone helped me get started with some canvas and acrylics, then I just painted and played,” Brenda says. “I look at my work and think, ‘how did I create this?’” She covered every wall with her own art and pretty soon, her friends wanted her artwork too. To date, she has sold around 80 pieces. Now she has her own major exhibition at Nelson’s Red Art Gallery, which is on until 23 March. Brenda says she never imagined she’d ever follow a creative path. “I never had any interest in art at all. I was the sporty girl. I used to play rugby, I wasn’t attracted to art. It wasn’t even on the periphery.” And where does her inspiration come from? “Just having a play and seeing what happens.”

Science show celebrates our seas Kate Russell Theatre and science will come together this Friday in a kid-friendly show that celebrates our oceans. ‘Science of the Seas’ is on at the Theatre Royal, courtesy of a pair of enthusiastic Nelson science educators. Mr Science (Sterling Cathman) and Richard deHamel (professor of marine science, University of Otago) have created a “fun, crazy and zany educational show” which coincides with Seaweek. The one-hour long show will see them circumnavigating New Zealand, covering topics such as plastics and how they influence our oceans, seas warming up and levels rising, ocean acidification, climate variables, managing natural resources, sustainable fishing, gases, marine life, bio-security and seafood production. “It’ll be fun, engaging and a totally immersive experience for the crowd, involving many children from the audience,” says Stirling, a primary school teacher who has already developed several touring educational children’s shows. Richard teaches marine studies in primary and secondary education programmes in Nelson and Tasman region and the duo will also be putting on a morning show for selected school groups. “The kids are great and really get into the spirt of theatre, having fun and learning at the same time,” Stirling says. “Working with schools and the public is a perfect way to do this and doing it in a theatre allows us to be more creative.” Science of the Seas is on this Friday 8 March at 7pm at the Theatre Royal. Tickets are $15 for adults, $12.50 for under 18s or $45 for a family pass and are available from TicketDirect or the Theatre Royal.

Purchasing a new home for your family or a rental property for your future, completing your due diligence has become so much more important with the rising price of property. Not just your Title and LIM, but also a quality Pre-purchase Inspection and Report—one that covers a visual assessment of the exterior, interior, roof, roof space, sub floor space and foundations. The importance of getting an inspection and written report completed, which identifies defects, their long term effects, and what a potential remedy would be, allows for informed decisions to be made. The construction industry has had plenty of issues over the years with products, designs and trades; it is not always easy to identify issues. With additional training through the NZ Institute of Building Surveyors, combined with twenty plus years as a qualified and Licensed Builder, gives me the knowledge, experience and additional resources to complete high-quality reports. Our process always includes looking at the Council Property File, to help assess potential issues. Our reports are individually assessed and written— no tick box system on an iPad. Our focussed approach is one client and report at a time. We are always happy to sit down with our clients and discuss any questions they may have. Since the 1880’s, Rout Milner Fitchett has provided expert legal advice across a broad range of legal areas and is currently owned by Craig Morice and Robert Fitchett, a 3rd generation partner. Rout Milner Fitchett is a friendly, professional law firm with a solid client base, which can help people at whatever stage they are at, whether buying or selling property, subdividing, dealing with estate matters and so on. The centrally located firm is situated at 167 Hardy Street in the Marble Arch Arcade, so it’s easy to drop in to make an appointment or you can call them anytime to arrange a time to suit. Registered Legal Executive Marie Austin, who has been with Rout Milner Fitchett for the past two years, enjoys working with clients to achieve the best possible results. Marie deals with conveyancing files on a daily basis and enjoys helping clients into their new homes. “We can help clients during the whole process of the sale or purchase transaction from drafting the agreement (if it is a private sale) to advising on conditions and assisting first home buyers with their Kiwisaver applications. It is our aim to make the overall process as smooth as possible for our clients.” No matter what situation you’re in when looking for a mortgage, the landscape is forever changing with lending requirements, Mark Papps of Mortgage Wizard can help you get the loan you need. Because all banks have a different criteria for lending, confusion can often leave people feeling as though they’re out of the market for the loan they require. Whether you’re a first home buyer trying to scrape together a deposit or you’re an existing homeowner looking to make an investment, it’s important to discuss your situation with a specialist like Mark. Mark offers a free service, doing all the leg work through the entire mortgage application process and is often capable of negotiating a far better deal for his clients than if they went it alone. His credibility, knowledge and skill in the area of finance comes from over 30 years in the industry, including 20 years in banking. In addition to his experience, Mark is also well qualified; he holds the New Zealand Certificate in Financial Services Level 5. Don’t settle for what your bank says is the best offer, let Mark negotiate with a wide range of lenders, potentially saving you thousands. If you have an existing loan, you can also talk to Mark about negotiating a new fixed rate that will help you achieve financial freedom faster.

DYNAMIC DUO CAN MAKE SELLING YOUR HOME A BREEZE! Instead of having just one real estate agent taking care of your listing, why not have two?! In 2016, Janice Emery and Di Connolly, who are sales consultants with Remax Elite Nelson, created their dynamic ‘Your Move’ team! “Janice and I had worked together for many years before deciding to join forces,” says Di. “It’s our point of difference, particularly where open homes are concerned – one of us can welcome the client while the other can show the potential purchasers around. Our vendors know they are being looked after. “For a lot of clients this is really important - with 14 or more groups at an open home we can make sure that no one is missed and that the home is secure. We also offer continuity of service - one of us is always available.” Janice and Di also saw a need for additional service in the area of the older generation who may be wanting to downsize or go into a retirement village and perhaps don’t have family here to help them. So, they wrote a little book around helping them make their next move. “For a lot of people shifting can seem overwhelming, so as well as providing free information with the booklet, we can also offer a package deal which offers up to 20 hours assistance with things like decluttering, packing etc.” No matter how many listings Janice and Di have at any one time, they can share the load and make the process of selling your home as smooth as possible. “We really do care about people,” says Di, who has consistently achieved outstanding results in her real estate career. "Our success has always been based on our clients and being able to relate to people from all walks of life, listening to their needs, having empathy and understanding. Most importantly, our clients know that they can trust us.” Janice also comes from a background of working for international advertising agencies and her marketing and communication skills have transferred extremely well into Real Estate. With their emphasis on quality, results-focused marketing, together they really are a dynamic team. “We are dealing with a new kind of market where people want to completely change their lifestyle. They may want to buy a smaller home, buy a camper van or downsize and go on a cruise. They are no longer waiting to make those decisions; they are at the beginning of a new life which is exciting and we love being part of that.” For more information, call 5487705 and ask for Janice & DI.
Ulimate Care Kensington Court had many reasons to celebrate its 25th birthday on a sunny afternoon in late February. “We’re very fortunate here,” says Facility Manager Correne Berryman. “It’s a small, family-friendly village with very pretty gardens; it’s in the hub of Stoke on the flat and is very close to the shops; there are walking and cycling tracks nearby; we have a fantastic activities programme and we cater for all levels of support.” The special occasion was marked with the cutting of a beautiful cake, lively music and dancing, Mayor Rachel Reese gave a speech and ‘Dame Edna’ kept everyone entertained. Friends and family of the residents came along to enjoy the fun afternoon, joined by the staff members who had worked very hard to make the event happen. “The occasion went really well,” says Correne Berryman. “It was good to have all the tables set up with everyone

Grounds closed for start of rugby season Jonty Dine With the region’s sports grounds resembling an African savannah, codes have had to get creative with the winter season fast approaching. Stage 3 water restrictions has meant little or no irrigation to fields leaving several of them rock hard and posing a risk to player safety. Jubilee Park, Tahuna Playing Fields, Greenmeadows, Brightwater Domain and Endeavour Parks will all be out of action for at least the first three rounds of the Tasman Trophy affecting Waimea Old Boys, Wanderers, Marist and Stoke. Games will be spread around Neale Park, Sports Park in Motueka and Riwaka Sportsground in Nelson and Lansdowne, Awatere and Renwick parks in Marlborough. Tasman Rugby Union competition manager Steve
Mitchell says despite the drought, the rugby season will commence as scheduled. “It’s certainly the worst I’ve seen in 30 years, but we have adjusted the draw to play games at those fields available.” With New Zealand Rugby and the Mitre 10 Cup dictating the season window, Tasman Rugby Union had little choice but to forge ahead with the scheduled start date of March 16. “The big clubs are all affected, everyone is aware of it and understands the situation.” Steve says they must be prepared to be flexible about who plays who and where and is confident the fields that have been made available won’t pose a risk to players. “Safety is a concern, but we have addressed that to the best of our ability.” The union has faced similar issues as recently as last year when Trafalgar Park was made unavailable due to the
All Blacks test. “We are a proactive organisation that works with stakeholders to find solutions.” Nelson City Council councillor Tim Skinner says football should be unaffected with a scheduled April 1 season kick-off. “The grass recovery may take a while, so with rugby are planning to start earlier than previous years, we are relying on rain.” He says he will be liaising with a number of clubs in the coming weeks. Nelson City Council acting group manager for community services Rosie Bartlett says council is doing the best it can to manage and maintain playing surfaces under current conditions. “We will be meeting with both rugby and football codes to discuss the current situation and options for the season ahead.”

He says he was stoked to defend the title for another year in front of a home crowd. Abbey Smale, 15, was the first female to cross the finish in a time of 34:36 while in the older division, 65-year-old Stephen Clarke made it home first in 39:34. Dave English was first home in the 1km in 13:06 while Finn Mckenzie won the 500m in 7:25. In the Ocean Kids Swim Tyler Lushcott took out the 100m in 2:52 and Kera Ruane winning the 200m in 4:10. William Seymour from Waimea Intermediate crossed the finish first in the 300m Kids Ocean Swim in 5:25 in a fast and furious race.

Nelson swimming superstar Luke Kelly made the biggest waves at the Big Tahuna Interislander Ocean Swim on Saturday. More than 600 swimmers dived into the tranquil waters at Tahuna Beach for the second annual event. Competitors were given the option of a 500m, 1km or 3km swims while kids were also included this year with a 300, 200 and 100m race. Luke powered home in 34:12 to defend his Big Tahuna title, five seconds ahead of second placed Fergus Drummond. He says with a large contingent of out of town swimmers, it was anyone’s race. “I was pretty nervous and off to a shaky start, but once I got settled in to my rhythm and calmed down after the initial adrenaline all was going well.” Luke says navigation was pretty straight forward but very chaotic up front. “The pace came on in the

The 12-year-old says there was a bit of confusion surrounding the slide at the end of the course. “Some people went around it, some people cut through it and some just went over it.” The Tasman Swim Club member says he hopes to have a future in swimming. “The percentages aren’t in my favour, but you never know.” Event director Scott Rice says there was a great vibe on the beach. “The weather and ocean conditions make it far more enjoyable for all of the swimmers and supporters.” Scott says with the inclusion of the inflatable, the event surpassed the first year. “It’s great seeing people achieve what they want to achieve whether it’s a mental barrier or swimming in the ocean for the first time and it’s awesome to see so many swimmers cross the finish.”

’ve been thinking a lot lately about the changes that we’ve experienced over the last decade or so. More and more, the services we all rely on at home or at work are moving to the online world. Our banks, shops and utility
companies are all beefing up their online services - who would have thought you could get a home loan without needing to meet the bank manager? I get to have conversations with people about this very topic all the time, especially when they find out what I do in my job at CERT NZ. But there are also a lot of conversations not being had - maybe because people are unsure about how to manage things online or, understandably, are embarrassed or shy to ask for help. I also hear about the unfortunate impacts that people experience as a result of financial loss through poor cyber security. Believe me, it happens more often than you probably realise. More and more, we need to be very careful about protecting our online financial accounts so they can’t be attacked. This sounds scary. Losing money is scary - but protecting your online accounts isn’t. The single most effective form of protection is the password. If there is one thing you do today, please look at one (or more) of your online financial accounts, and make one simple change: change at least one password so it is strong and unique to that account. Every account is a little different but changing your password to a strong one will only take a moment or two.

Nelson lose Hawke Cup Peter Grigg
Just two weeks after their historic victory in Invercargill, the Nelson Pine Griffins are saying goodbye to the Hawke Cup. The Griffins were dominated by Hawke’s Bay who claimed the cup at Saxton Oval on Sunday with a resounding 10-wicket win. While the Griffins displayed a lot more ticker in their second innings, they could not stem the bleeding from the wounds inflicted on Saturday. There were a couple of very good partnerships at the top of the order as David and Thomas Zohrab contributed a 125run opening stand and then skipper Willem Ludick and Josh Clarkson added 163 for the third wicket.
Clarkson was outstanding in bullying 164 off just 120 deliveries which included seven boundaries and was littered with 11 big sixes. While it was a great innings it was all too little and too late for the home team. Following on 377 runs behind Nelson was in an impossible position. Matt Edmondson’s first innings score of 242 had sealed the cup’s fate. When he was dismissed caught behind by Nic Clark off left arm spinner Paddy Howes he had batted for just under four and a half hours, faced 339 deliveries and dispatched 24 boundaries and two sixes. Schaw blasted 12 boundaries and three sixes in his unbeaten century. Hawke’s Bay required 28 runs
to win after tea, it took just 3.3 overs and it was good night nurse. A shell-shocked coach Ryan Edwards was understandably “very disappointed” with his troops.
Scorecard: Hawke’s Bay 524/6 dec (Matt Edmondson 242, Angus Schaw 114*, Christian Leopard 59, Brad Schmulian 56, Jarrod McKay 2/98) Nelson Pine Griffins 147 (Felix Murray 35*, Nic Clark 28, Todd Watson 3/26, Jayden Lennox 3/53) Nelson Pine Griffins 404) Josh Clarkson 164, David Zohrab 81, Willem Ludick 65, Ben Stoyanoff 3/43, Angus Schaw 2/79, Jayden Lennox 2/85) Hawke’s Bay 30/0 Hawke’s Bay won by 10 wickets

Should a player break this rule, another set will be added to punish the whole team. “It’s always the new ones and they don’t do it again.” Sam says the popularity of the sport has skyrocketed since his playing retirement. “It has grown, schools are right into it now and a lot of females are getting into the game.” He will take a break from club rugby this season to coach his daughters’ side before looking to defend Tasman’s national sevens title at the end of the year. Sam hopes to progress to coaching a national side and join some of his young stars back onto the world circuit.

Gagings set sights on White Ferns Jonty Dine They may look identical, but Anna and Kate Gaging have very contrasting roles in their numerous cricket teams. The 17-year-olds represent no less than five sides as the twins have enjoyed a rapid rise in the sport they took up only five years ago. The pair hope to make history and become the first set of identical twins to represent the White Ferns. Anna, an opening bowler and middle order batswoman and Kate, a wicketkeeper who opens or bats at first drop, represent the Wakatu women’s team, Nelson U18s, the Nelson Nixons and Central District’s U18 and U21 sides. They say it can sometimes be exhausting to keep up with so much cricket. “We had four tournaments over the summer holidays alone.” However, their drive to be the best in the world sees them spending hours training together at Ben Cooper Park. Anna wants to be the fastest female bowler alive while Kate wants to be able to whip the bails off faster than any other woman
playing the game.
