Inner-city park mooted for Nelson Kate Russell

A mothballed proposal for a destination playground in Rutherford Park could be scrapped to make way for a new

central city park.

Nelson City Council adopted in principal its consultation document for the 2019/20 annual plan at a meeting on Thursday, in which city centre development is a major focus.

As part of this focus, it is proposed to create an urban park to bring people into the city centre for longer periods of time.

To do this, it is proposed to relocate the $20,000 set aside

in the Long-Term Plan for the Rutherford Park playground, to developing an inner-city park - as enhancement of the city centre is considered a “higher priority”.

Last year, Nelson Weekly reported

that council were still hoping to fulfil shelved plans to build a playground in Rutherford Park although it is not known exactly

Faces of unity

Thousands of locals of different race, religion and cultures descended on Victory Square on Sunday for the annual Race Unity Day. The event, due to take place last weekend, was postponed after the Christchurch terror

attacks which MC Matt Lawrey says felt like “the right thing to do”.

The postponement didn’t hamper the turnout though, with organiser Mary Bronsteter saying it actually worked out better.

what the project would entail.

The playground was first proposed in 2015 and has been heavily supported by the public over the years.

Last September, Nelson mayor Rachel Reese also mooted converting one of our innercity carparks into a large urban greenspace - which drew mixed feedback.

She questioned whether our inner-city car-parks, including Buxton, Montgomery and Wakatu, were making the best use of “flat and sunny” land.

“It is scarce in the city, and I’d rather we made it for people, rather than for single-level car occupancy,” she told Nelson Weekly.

Clare Barton, group manager environmental management at council says, as they are still working through the consultation phase, they have

“Surprisingly, nearly every single one of the stall holders could make it and we actually have even more than before.”

Mary says the decision to postpone was not taken lightly but was the right decision to make, considering the circumstances.

“As a community we really needed that time to grieve and mourn and reflect and I’m so glad we postponed it.”

With 35 performances from groups of different nationalities and cultures, the crowds were treated to a show of colour, flare, and emotion.

“It is just so fantastic and beautiful. I mean, look at all these people here,” says Mary.

Mayor Rachel Reese told the crowd that the alleged gunman “underestimated the resolve” of New Zealand and Race Unity Day was a time to celebrate that.

She encouraged everyone to “be actively inclusive” going forward.

“Council’s discussions on this matter recognises the need for flexible inner-city spaces for relaxing and events where people can linger longer, and which will contribute to the vision of the city centre as a social hub,” she says.

Nelsonians can have their say on the idea by making a submission to the 2019/10 annual plan consultation document.

Public consultation opens this Friday, 29 March and runs until 2 May. You can make submissions online at www. nelson.govt.nz or using the form at the back of the document.

Super energy efficient and unrivalled for quietness!

Fire poi dancers perform at the Dystopia Festival with Peter Murdoch’s permission.

Photo: Supplied.

Guilty plea for ‘stupid’ flamethrower Sara Hollyman The man who used a flamethrower at a Takaka festival while the massive Tasman fires burned only kilometres away has been slammed by a judge for his “stupidity”.

Golden Bay man Peter Henare Murdoch, 34, pleaded guilty to two charges of lighting a fire in a prohibited/restricted fire season in the Nelson District Court on Monday.

Murdoch was the organiser of the Dystopia Festival, which drew a crowd of 410 people to the Blue Hole in Cobb Valley area over the weekend of February 15.

Videos and photos surfaced online shortly after showing Murdoch using a flamethrower

at the festival.

Meanwhile the Pigeon Valley fires were out of control 45km away, causing the evacuation of 3000 people.

The police summary of facts told how Murdoch wanted to do something “cool and special” for the event, but in hindsight regretted the decision to use the flamethrower.

The home-made flamethrower was mounted on the back of a vehicle and made to look like a Gatling gun.

Using a modified 9kg gas bottle filled with a home-made propellant of kerosene, pegosol and petrol, the flamethrower shot flames four metres high for periods of four to six minutes at a time.

Fire dancers also asked

Murdoch for permission to perform with fire poi and fire sticks, which he gave.

Defence lawyer Craig Stevenson says the area was clear of vegetation, had been doused with water beforehand and firefighting equipment was on hand including industrial extinguishers.

Judge David Ruth mulled over punishments and considered a financial penalty, to “hurt his pocket” while trying to “bring home the stupidity” of what Murdoch had done.

He convicted Murdoch and sentenced him to two concurrent sentences of 200 hours community detention, but left him with a warning.

“If you breach this, I will put you in prison. This was a stupid thing to do.”

What is going on with Natureland?

Charles Anderson Six years ago, when the Natureland Wildlife Trust took over an ailing zoo in Tahunanui, the place was run down and in dire need of an overhaul and some fresh energy.

It got that in the form of Meg and Mike Rutledge. They knew that it was clear that things needed to change.

But how much change has been the cause of constant drama around the Nelson City Council table over the past year. For years, that drama revolved around a central question - should council be in the business of running a zoo?

The charitable trust, until last week led by Meg Rutledge, was full of ambition. Under her watch Natureland’s gambit expanded far beyond what many might think of an ordinary zoo.

Even an independent report into its activities suggested that traditional zoos were on the way out. What was more acceptable was a facility with a strong conservation focus.

Indeed, that is what the Natureland Trust set out to do.

It wanted to create a “world-class conservation organisation” as per its trust deed.

But when the council signed on to fund its activities – $200,000 a year for operations and $119,000 for capital works – it did not necessarily share that view.

Then Natureland was awarded

$248,000 for the last financial year after an audit showed that it needed another keeper for health and safety reasons. Then it wanted that amount to remain for the next five years, while also receiving a capital grant of $50,000.

That’s when the issues came to a head.

“It is noted that Natureland Wildlife Trust has developed its strategic plan without the input of council as its major funder,” an independent report prepared by Hammond Robertson says.

Because council’s priorities are somewhat different, if not totally clear. At the very least, it wanted Natureland to focus on its city zoo and educational functions, rather than conservation.

So when the report came back saying that Natureland didn’t need as much money is it was asking, sparks flew. The report suggested that Natureland should focus more on creating interactive educational facilities as well as scoping potential commercial opportunities, such as through a café.

Then council followed suit suggesting a figure of $248,000 for the 2018-2019 financial year, then $170,000 for the following nine years.

Councillor Mike Rutledge, Meg’s husband, flew off the handle, abusing fellow councillors and then faced a code of conduct complaint.

Then the trust’s chair Alan

Hinton suggested that the trust not renew its contract with council and would dissolve if they didn’t get their funding.

However, its last annual report shows it made a $79,000 surplus with $175,000 in the bank – a figure that Alan disputes, saying there is no surplus and it forecasts to lose $14,000 annually for the next three years.

Then Meg Rutledge resigned, only on Monday being replaced by international zoological adviser Grant Abel.

Alan says the difficulty comes down to the service contract with council which lays out what Natureland can provide for the funding. If it doesn’t get the funding, he says it can’t fulfil the contract.

In an ideal world, a wealthy conservation-minded philanthropist would come in and give Natureland all the money it

wanted to expand the way it sees fit. But this is the issue when you rely on ratepayer funding – there is a lot of competition for money and councillors have to weigh up what they see as the city’s own ambitions with the amount in the pot.

Councillor Matt Lawrey said when he read the public submissions on the funding as part of the Long Term Plan, he got the impression that “there wasn’t public support for the level of funding requested”.

But after all the drama, council will again go to the public to see what they want to do – keep the funding as it was decided or go back to what Natureland wanted.

There is also an option to close Natureland or offer it for tender for someone else to run.

It is a turning point for several reasons. For example, the Hamilton Zoo operated for 13 years until 1982 when financial

pressures threated to force its closure. Intense community opposition to closing the zoo caused the council to take the zoo over. Since then, the zoo has been 100 per cent funded by rates, totalling about $1.5 million in direct costs and another $1 million in indirect overheads.

In contrast, Auckland Zoo only relies on 10 per cent of its revenue from council.

In 2015, then councillor Pete Rainey suggested: “In the real world of funding, if you get granted less, you have to come up with a plan.”

So what is the plan? Does Nelson want to own a zoo?

If yes, then the public should say so and give Natureland whatever it says it needs. If not, then the trust just needs to shift its ambitions to be more aligned with the people who fund it – the ratepayers.

Alcohol ban for walkway: Nelson City Council will include the Kerr Street Walkway in the list of Alcohol Ban Areas in the city. Councillors unanimously voted for the recommendation at Thursday’s full council meeting. The ban comes following concerns from local business, residents and walkway users regarding alcohol and drug related disorder in the area, including swearing and yelling, catcalling, urinating in public, as well as damage to cars and rocks thrown at neighbouring businesses.

The ban will come into effect from 10 April.

Kempthorne not seeking re-election: Tasman mayor Richard Kempthorne is not standing for re-election in October after 12 years at the helm.

Richard says it has been a privilege to serve the Tasman community and the single biggest issue for him has been resolving whether to build the Waimea Dam. “Despite the challenging process to get to this decision, it was with great satisfaction that the decision was made to proceed. It is my view that the drought we have experienced this year has clearly demonstrated the need for the dam.”

Strong interest in highway safety improvements: The Nelson and Marlborough communities have made their voices heard and are demanding safer roads in the region. Community open days held across both regions last week attracted hundreds of people keen to have their say on a proposed NZTA plan to make SH6 between Blenheim and Nelson safer. Between 2008 and 2017, 19 people died and 90 were seriously injured in crashes on this stretch of road. Proposed new safety improvements include flexible wire rope safety barriers, rumble strips, wide centrelines and shoulders.

Gun law changes – ‘we’ll just have to roll with it’ Sara Hollyman The Nelson-based co-leader of the Outdoors NZ Party says gun owners will “have to roll” with new laws announced in the wake of the Christchurch terror attack.

The Government announced last week that military and assault-style semi-automatics will be banned as well as related parts used to convert guns into military-style weapons, and all highcapacity magazines.

David Haynes, who lives in Hira and co-leads the Outdoors NZ Party says “everybody accepts” that the incident has changed New Zealand. A keen recreational hunter, David says for those who have guns that will be banned: “We’ll just have to roll with it.”

He says there is some disappointment that the legislation is being rushed and people are voicing concerns that it may not do the job that it’s set up to do.

“This is just the start of a number of legislative changes - the concern, of

Co-leader of the Outdoors NZ Party David Haynes says gun owners will ‘roll with’ new legislation. Photo: Sara Hollyman. firearms licence holders is that there will be meaningful consultation going forward.”

David says law-abiding licensed firearms holders are not necessarily against the current or future changes, but that it will be in everybody’s best interest to have due consultation.

“There’s a lot of knowledge out there that would only improve the result of any changes in legislation.”

Nelson local Rachel Beard says she doesn’t know a lot about guns but thinks that a gun register should be

enforced.

She says being a “city girl” and not being raised around guns meant that they were always something scary to her and something she was against.

“Moving into more of a rural setting now, I have seen how they are used in a somewhat day to day setting.

“I can see they are needed for food, farm use, and hobbies like duck shooting, so I think taking those away wouldn’t be fair and would definitely be a knee jerk reaction. However, I think pulling the laws in a bit tighter is only going to

benefit us.”

David says that there’s “not one example in the world” where a gun register has worked or had any impact on reducing gun crime or illegal firearms ownership.

“The likes of lawful firearms owners would go and register their guns with the police, but obviously unlicensed and illegal gun holders aren’t going to, so how does that make things better? It’s not going to take illegal guns off the street.”

He says his experience of the police vetting procedure is that it was “extensive and comprehensive” but says it would be a procedure to look into if it prevented future tragedies.

“This is the first incident in 30 years involving a licenced firearms holder, but clearly we’ve failed somewhere.”

He says the rate of response of people seeking to hand over their reclassified guns has been “outstanding”.

“I think all lawful firearms holders are exactly that, we take it quite seriously so I would expect compliance.”

Victims of terror remembered Locally Owned and Operated

He sought to divide the nation but the man responsible for last week’s terror attack in Christchurch has made New Zealand more united than ever.

The 50 lives lost were honoured across New Zealand on Friday as Kiwis stood hand in hand in a show of unity with the Muslim community.

The top of Hardy St was closed to traffic as mourners came in their thousands to pay their respects at the Nelson Islamic Cultural Society.

The crowd observed a two-minute period of silence at 1.32pm, one week removed from the horrific events of Christchurch.

Following an emotional haka and waiata performed by Nelson College, Dr Moayid Sherif spoke of the humanity our nation has shown in the wake of the attack.

“The sadness that has fallen on the Christchurch community is a sadness felt by all New Zealanders.”

He says the atmosphere of love and support is exceptional.

“We will not be torn by this, we will mourn, but we will stand up much stronger.”

Members from various religions, cultures and political parties spoke of the need for compassion in this time of grief.

Nelson MP Nick Smith says respect for all cultures and a zero tolerance towards violence needs to be addressed to ensure last Friday’s events are never repeated on our shores.

“I pledge my support to ban semi-automatic weapons,” he said to applause.

He says we need to curb the spread of hate and that there was an irony in Friday’s mass gathering.

“The perpetrator wanted to spread racial hatred and violence, he has achieved the exact opposite.”

Quick & Easy Dinner

Rescue hero goes the extra mile Staff reporter

It started out like the hundreds of emergencies Ian Montgomery has been called out to in over 25 years, but it was the kind he dreaded the most.

His 91-year-old father-in-law, lapsing into unconsciousness after his blood pressure dropped dangerously low, was being rushed to hospital.

In the ambulance that day was Ian. He was there not as a son-in-law but in his capacity as a volunteer ambulance officer, a job alongside the other voluntary role he has been carrying out for nearly a quarter century as chief fire officer in the small settlement of Okiwi Bay in the Marlborough Sounds.

Happily, his father-in-law recovered.

But it is the thought that the lives of family or friends might be in danger that worries him most whenever an alarm is raised.

“The worst thing is, in an area like this we generally know the person we are going to help,” he says. “You know them, you know their family; it can be the most stressful aspect of what we do.

“But you do it to put something back into the community and because the wins outweigh the losses.”

Ian, who everyone knows as ‘Monty’, had a win of a different kind this week, receiving an ASB Good as Gold award in recognition

of his quarter century of work in co-ordinating and running the first response unit and the volunteer fire service in Okiwi Bay. “Monty’s story is one of incredible dedication to his local community,” says ASB midlands regional manager Amanda Young.

Ian says he could not do what he does without Pam’s support. Often having to drop whatever he is doing to respond to an emergency, he frequently has to leave her for long periods to single-handedly run their business, the Okiwi Bay Holiday Park and convenience store.

It is not just frontline work he carries out; for years he has been the driving force in fund-raising for equipment and buildings to help keep the services running. The fire service is always looking for new recruits and Montgomery plays a key role in this as well.

And just recently he cancelled a holiday he and Pam were planning because he was worried the district, down on water and tinder dry from lack of rain, would be severely under-protected if he was away.

“It would have left only three fire crew here and, because the fire danger was so high, I thought it best I stay.”

The bank has given him $10,000 to spend on a holiday. He is thinking of using it to travel to Singapore later in the year to celebrate his and his wife Pam’s golden wedding anniversary marking their 50 years of marriage.

Plans to fill vacant CBD spaces Kate Russell

Vacant city centre buildings could soon be filled if a new Nelson City Council initiative gets off the ground.

Through its annual plan, council are proposing to launch ‘Meanwhile Spaces’ - a concept of using temporarily vacant buildings to house arts organisations, start-ups, community organisations and charities.

Council adopted in principal its consultation document for the 2019/20 annual plan at a meeting on Thursday and an additional $50,000 is proposed as part of the delivery of this project, which could kick off this winter.

Clare Barton, manager environmental management at council, says they have undertaken research into how the city can be “enhanced and rejuvenated” and took the idea from similar project which has been successful in Australia.

She says they are in the process of establishing an incorporated society called ‘Make/Shift Spaces

Incorporated’ which will focus on activating shops and buildings in the city centre with creative projects and enterprises on a temporary basis.

“In the past, shop vacancies in Nelson’s city centre have been a concern to the public and businesses,” says Clare.

“Council has committed to provide seed funding to establish the incorporated society and to get Meanwhile Spaces started.

There is external interest with sponsorship, grants and other funding sources to complement- and eventually replace- the public funding commitment.”

She says they have had support from property owners, landlords, legal, real estate, charities and arts sectors.

The temporary occupants will be selected from those who respond to an open request for proposals, and once a space is secured, projects/operators will be matched to that space.

It is intended that there will be a 30-day notice period on licenses so the landlord can lease their space.

Proposed rates rise for Nelson

Nelson City Council have proposed an amendment to their rates in their 2019/2020 Annual Plan, climbing from 3.9 per cent to 4.2 per cent.

During last Thursday’s full council meeting, councillors adopted in principal its consultation document for the plan - which included the 0.3 per cent rates rise.

The reason given for the rise are higher staff costs, slower than predicted growth in rating units and operating costs.

The annual plan consultation document will be available to the public on 29 March and consultation will run until 2 May.

Losing locks for fight against cancer Jonty Dine Having lost his father to the disease, Simon Collins had no hesitation in signing up to shave his head for cancer research.

Simon was joined by local real estate agent Jo Hender and musician Bryce Wastney in losing their locks to help fundraise for the cause.

The trio are members of

the networking group the Business Boosters and Jo suggested the shave at one of their weekly meetings.

“She managed to rope a few of us in,” says Simon.

The shave was carried out at Elise Hair Design on Thursday afternoon.

“It was a no-brainer and I look good without hair,” Simon joked.

Bryce says it has been 20 long

years since he last sported a shaved head so it will take some getting used to.

“It feels very light, I’m worried that my dog won’t recognize me.”

He says, after recently singing for a terminal cancer patient, the indiscriminate nature of the disease hit home.

“It just takes people too young. It was shocking to see him so skinny, weak and

without hair, it made me realise that they need all the support they can get.”

Jo says the shave was a very “little thing in the big picture”.

The team had raised $1376 on the day of the shave and they expected this to rise throughout the month.

Concern Forest fire concert on track over polytech plans Charles Anderson A group of Nelson city councillors is concerned that a proposed merger of all the country’s 16 polytechnics could meant NMIT’s standing in the community is diluted.

Last month the Government announced a proposal to merge all the polytechnics into one as part of a move to streamline tertiary institutions.

However, councillors Paul Matheson and Mike Rutledge, along with Mayor Rachel Reese say, that there are concerns about the proposal.

“We fear it will result in less staff, less courses and a less responsive training institute for our region,” the councillors said in a joint statement.

They attended a formal consultation on Thursday but left feeling that it would mean less control and potentially less money for NMIT. In response they have drafted a notice of motion to be presented today calling on the council to submit in support of retaining the independence of NMIT. The motion puts to the council that it makes a submission on the proposal which emphasises the need for NMIT to “retain its autonomy, regional governance, and responsiveness to local needs”.

It also notes, in particular, council’s concerns regarding the proposal to create a centralised “New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology” for its potential impact on local jobs, course provision, control of assets, and the connectedness of the NMIT to local industries and the community.

The institute employs 270 staff and has over 5000 students as well as posting surpluses for eight of the past 10 years. It has $20million in the bank to pay for plans for future growth.

“We acknowledge that some polytechnics are struggling and need to look at their operating model, however this must not be at the cost of our NMIT,” the councillors said.

Local businesses are getting behind a silent auction that is being held as part of a free concert to say thanks to those that helped fight the Tasman forest fires.

Some of the items donated so far include Richmond Mall vouchers worth $2500, a week’s campervan use provided by Discover New Zealand Motorhome Rentals from Hope, and a 7 by 4 caged trailer provided by Tasman Trailers.

Chris Welby of Tasman Trailers says he is very happy to support anything associated with the forest fire concert, as a way of saying thanks to all those responders and volunteers for the work they did to protect the local community.

The trailer Chris has put up for auction is locally designed and sells for $1795.

Headline act for the concert, The Waratahs, will travel to the fire site and Wakefield

Opinion

Your Voice Christchurch mosque attacks For once I have to agree with Green co-leader Marama Davidson, who has pointed out that the wrong people in New Zealand have been under surveillance. During the recent protests regarding the aerial poison drops in the previously pristine Brook watershed with brodifacoum, a highly-restricted chemical in California that is never dropped there by helicopter, Nelson council went to great lengths and expense to ensure that any protest was kept under strict surveillance, and that protestors were followed up with trespass notices. Such actions by council are an assault on democ-

racy, and the sort of bureaucratic misuse of resources that allowed the gunman in Christchurch to succeed with his intentions.

Dan McGuire

Response to article: ‘More Girl Guides leaders needed’ Just a note to say thank you so much for the article calling for volunteers.

Nelson Matters Race Unity Day on Sunday was special. I have been attending the annual event in Victory Square for 20 years but never was it more poignant. I never thought New Zealand would ever experience the sort of racially motivated atrocity that I associated with Nazi Germany, the Bosnian war or the 9/11 attacks in the US. March 15 was a brutal wakeup call that racial hatred exists in dark corners of all societies, including ours.

The delay in Race Unity Day for a week was appropriate. We first needed time to grieve for the 50 lives lost and to support our Muslim community. My work last week was dominated by or-

ganising with our Muslim community the ‘Hands around Nelson’s Mosque’ commemoration in Hardy Street. I am so grateful to all those who generously contributed and the thousands of Nelsonians who participated.

It was a powerful statement to have Nelsonians of all faiths, all cultures, all political persuasions and all ages hand in hand surrounding our Muslim community in grief and love.

There will be months of debate ahead on tightening our gun laws, strengthening our security services and better regulating the spread of hate on the internet. However, the best insurance against the sort of atrocity

in Christchurch is tackling the cultural intolerance that sparks such violence.

That is why we need to be so appreciative of the work of our Multicultural Nelson Tasman organisation and people who lead it like Luz Zuniga and Mary Bronsteter. Their work is about much more than the beautiful national costumes and tasty food stalls on display at Race Unity Day. It is about appreciating the diversity of humanity and that people from all corners of the world share the same basic human desires to love, to get ahead and to live in peace.

My wife Linley's and my own lives were hugely enriched as

Mashallah, NZ people, you are the best. Great humanity! Great tolerance.

AFS exchange students to different parts of the world for a year as teenagers. The AFS programme was initiated in 1914 by ambulance field staff from WW1 desperate to prevent the suffering from racial conflict and war.

Exchange programmes are just as important today. I thank our schools and polytechnic, the programme coordinators, host families and organisations like Rotary that support this work for cultural understanding.

My challenge from Race Unity Day is for us all to make an effort to be more inclusive. We need to put aside our shyness, the language barriers and worry about causing offence and en-

gage more. It might be as simple as saying “Hi” with a smile at the supermarket queue, encouraging your child to invite a new friend home to play or including your new work colleague at your next BBQ. The tragic loss of life in Christchurch will forever be a stain on New Zealand’s reputation as a safe, tolerant and peaceful country. We cannot undo it but we must use it to drive a renewed commitment to our core kiwi values of freedom of religion, racial equality and zero tolerance of violence.

Alcohol ban for Kerr St walkway Nelson City Council will include the Kerr Street Walkway in the list of Alcohol Ban Areas in the city.

Councillors unanimously voted for the recommendation at Thursday’s full council meeting and the ban will come into effect from 10 April.

The ban comes following concerns from local business, residents and walkway users regarding alcohol related disorder in the area.

Council recently undertook

consultation with nearby households and businesses, Nelson Police and relevant social agencies.

The feedback received revealed a range of types of disorders going on in the area, including alcohol and drug taking, glue sniffing, sleeping on the seats and in the garden of a neighbouring property, swearing and yelling, catcalling at girls and women and fighting.

Barry Pont is hoping more people come out in support for Poppy Day this year.

Photo: Charles Anderson.

More poppy volunteers needed Charles Anderson As Nelson’s population gets older the RSA is looking for some younger blood to help collect donations for its annual Poppy Appeal.

Local RSA president Barry Pont says he needs about 20 people for the April 12 Poppy Day. “We are all getting a bit older so it’s getting harder to get people out on the stand.”

And he says that the need to raise money is still there.

“There are more people in the

RSA needing welfare funds now than ever before in my 25 years of doing this.”

Last tear the volunteer network recorded over 20,000 interaction around the country – helping those in need.

The theme of this year’s appeal is “We Are All Family” and seeks to raise money to help those who have served in the country’s armed services. It goes towards assisting veterans and their families who can endure ongoing hardship when

they return or transition from serving.

It is the primary source of funds for the RSA’s extensive provision of support services to the service community “For dependents and their partners, the negative impact can be significant,” Barry says.

Barry says that it’s a small way to remember the sacrifice those people have made for their country.

To sign up to volunteer call Barry on 0275477562 or email nelrsa@ts.co.nz

Helping Christchurch with comedy Comedians from around the country will converge at the Theatre Royal next week as part of a fundraiser for the victims of the Christchurch terror attacks.

“Comedy for Christchurch” will be two nights of improvisational comedy in the vein of iconic Canterbury show “Scared Scriptless”, which has been staged at The Court Theatre for over twenty-five years.

The evening is MC’d by Nelson performer Dan Allan, who is originally from Christchurch.

“I just feel like I want to help somehow,” Dan says. “It’s a way to show our solidarity.”

Dan cancelled his solo show, “An Evening with Lord Nelson”, after the attacks.

“The play no longer sitting comfortably inside New Zealand’s new cultural context,” he says.

Instead, Comedy for Christchurch is his way of responding to what has happened and creating an opportunity for people to come together to do something constructive.

Improvisors from around the country will travel to Nelson for the event, including Emma Cusdin from the Court Jesters and Auckland-based comedian and improviser Hamish Parkinson. They will perform with

Nelson’s improv troupe, The People’s Republic of Improv.

A member of the Nelson Islam community, Aqeela Mowjood, will also be speaking at the event.

Adult tickets are pay-what-you-can from $20, with all profit donated to those affected by the Christchurch attacks.

“Show your support for those who are hurting right now as we come together as a community to send aroha from Nelson to Christchurch,” Dan says.

Comedy for Christchurch is on at 7.30pm on Thursday 4 and Friday 5 of April. Tickets through the Theatre Royal on 03 548 3840.or TicketDirect.

Ten big years of Changing Threads Kate Russell

Changing Threads creative director, Ronnie Martin, with Christine Wingel’s entry, ‘Wall a Bit’ at the Refinery ArtSpace. Photo: Kate Russell.

French fries, tea bags, surgical masks, price tags and men’s shirts aren’t usually considered ‘art’ - but one local exhibition is challenging that perception.

In 2009, Nelson artist Ronnie Martin wanted to change the way people viewed fibre and textile art. So, she created the Changing Threads Contemporary Fibre Art Awards.

Ten years on, and she’s proved that it’s not all about quilting and embroidery.

“We wanted to stretch what fibre was - from woven plastic bags and twisted wires - anything that can be used to create a passive artwork. Traditional work such as weaving and stitching has been twisted and taken into a contemporary context,” says Ronnie.

“Now, we’ve built on its early beginnings and we’ve seen the work standard lifted and lifted.”

So much so, that now Changing

Threads is considered the most prestigious exhibition of its type in New Zealand.

The exhibition opened on Friday night at the Refinery ArtSpace and this year the awards attracted 160 entries from around the country.

After what Ronnie describes as a “rigid selection process”, only 42 made the final cut.

“What is actually finally shown is the cream of the entries. For a lot of people, just reaching the final selection is a mark of success.”

Ronnie says she has seen the work change over the year.

“I think people have actually realised we are very open to all sorts of work, and even the whole idea of the concept of ‘what fibre is’ has been very exciting. People have done paper, wood and even put things into stretched glass. We are very open.”

But, apart from being well executed, the work also must have meaning.

“We want to present work which has a strong conceptual basis. It has to be well executed, but it also has to say something.

What we didn’t want was pretty pictures for the wall.

“It gives people a chance to say something quite powerful, and quite strong, using traditional techniques.”

Ironically, Ronnie’s love for textiles started when she went to a class to learn how to make a quilt for her baby, who is now in his 30s.

“Then, for me, I realised there was a lot more I wanted to see.”

She says for her, the joy has come out of creating the exhibition.

“I think it can actually standalone anywhere in the world.

I’m very proud of where we’ve taken it to. I think people can see now that the work can be quite challenging, but very exciting.”

Changing Threads is on at the Refinery ArtSpace, 3 Halifax St, until April 24.

NELSON HERITAGE FESTIVAL Heritage Festival now brimming with 60 plus events!

Excitement builds ahead of the Nelson Heritage Festival, with a whole month of fabulous events organised, celebrating our region’s unique stories, people and places. Formerly known as ‘Heritage Week,’ council devised a new format and renamed it the ‘Nelson Heritage Festival,’ which successfully debuted last year. In 2018 there were over 40 Heritage Festival events, but with over 60 events in this year’s programme it will occupy a full month from April 1st to April 30th and will take place in a range of different locations across Nelson city.

The events are organised by people in the arts and heritage community such as the Nelson Provincial Museum, the Theatre Royal, Isel House, Broadgreen House and groups like the NZ Society of Genealogists. There will be talks, tours, live performances and activities happening throughout the month of April.

Nelson City Council facilitates the event, coordinating the marketing and the programme line-up, but it’s the

Amongst a huge line-up of fabulous events at the upcoming Nelson Heritage Festival, the Centre for Fine Woodworking will host a number of traditional skills workshops. community which delivers the fantastic range of events planned. Council provides grants to the event hosts who, in the planning stages, may need financial assistance to make their event even better or bigger using the heritage festival grants fund. Now in its 9th year, the success of the heritage event can be attributed to strong community par-

ticipation, with events run by locals, many of whom are returning this year, with lots of newcomers onboard as well.

For council, the new format allows it to run a large festival with a relatively small budget.

It’s all about participation and contribution, not big money.

So, the key is having partners in the community creating events and combining their

passion and their areas of interest.

This year’s programme is packed full of fabulous events and activities with a number of highlights this year including The Wairau Affray – a play in development (written by Justin Eade).

This is a staged reading about the ill-fated attempt by colonists to confront Te Rauparaha and a party of his men at Tuamarina in 1843, in a dispute over ownership of the Wairau, with a public Q and A session afterwards. There are a number of performances planned on April 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th. Book at Eventfinda.

Another drawcard will undoubtedly be the Cancer Society Heritage House Tour happening at various locations in Nelson and Stoke on Sunday, April 7th. It’s a unique chance to tour some of Nelson’s finest and interesting, privatelyowned properties. It’s expected to be a sell-out again this year, so grab your tickets fast from www.cancernelson.org. nz!

Celebrate Nelson’s Heritage Festival 1 – 30 April Although the summer months are now behind us, we have much to look forward to as Nelson’s popular Heritage Festival begins on 1 April. It began nine years ago with our first Heritage Week and this Festival is a wonderful way to share and celebrate our city’s rich and varied past.

It’s a true community event and I applaud all the community groups and organisations that make it all happen.

The Heritage Festival wouldn’t be the success that it is without your time and effort!

This year’s programme is packed with great reasons to get out and about in April. Many of our favourite events from previous years are back, and we’ve got some new opportunities that you won’t want to miss. There really is something for everyone with live performances, talks, tours and enjoyable activities at a range of locations on offer.

Enjoy!

1 - 30 April: A month of exciting events celebrating Nelson’s unique stories, people and places itson.co.nz

A highlight at this year’s Nelson Heritage Festival is The Wairau Affray – a play in development (by Justin Eade) about the dispute over ownership of the Wairau in 1843. Q and A sessions will be held after each performance.

Just over a year ago, ex-tropical cyclone Fehi ravaged our beloved historical venue, The Boathouse, but this is ‘comeback’ year, with an event which had been planned to take place in 2018 but wasn’t able to go ahead due to the venue having to close. So, the

Boathouse managing committee is delighted to bring ‘Let the Band Play On,’ The World Heritage Day Tea-Dance, a night reminiscent of the dances held at the venue in the 1940’s. The Nelson Jazz Club Big Band will play tunes of the era and Histrionics will enter-

tain with living history, skits and drama. You might be standing at the bar and a little play could erupt next to you!

It’s a great opportunity to hire a costume and dress up for the occasion! To book tickets, go to www.bandaid.co.nz.

You’ll be delighted by the

glorious sound of brass in Nelson’s historic cathedral on April 24th. No bookings are required for the Gabrielli Concert and there’s no charge either (koha entry).

Exceptional international musicians of Septura Brass Septet will perform as part of the four-day workshop residency hosted by the Nelson School of Music and Chamber Music NZ. The residency students will be performing a public concert alongside Septura featuring massed items, including works by Gabrielli and Strauss (Feierlicher Einzug).

The Heritage Festival culminates with the ever-popular Founders Heritage Fair held on the last Sunday in April.

This is a wonderful, fun-filled, family occasion which will include a vintage fairground and entertainment, an antique fair, an army display and lots more!

The full Nelson Heritage Festival events programme is available online at www.nelson. govt.nz or visit www.itson. co.nz for more information.

Raiders boost region’s rugby league Jonty Dine

After fears the sport may fold in the region, rugby league has been given a major boost with the birth of a new Nelson club.

The Stoke United Raiders will join the Tasman Premier League as the fourth senior side and see the former rivals become teammates.

Captain Simon Duncan says the side is essentially made up of former Wolves, Rabbits and Tigers players.

The Wanderers Wolves and Richmond Rabbits failed to make numbers in 2018 and were forced to fold.

After spending a season with the Wairua Taniwha, Simon says he got itchy feet to play for a Nelson team again.

“I got in contact with some mates that went to rugby or didn’t play last year, and it went from there.”

League stalwart Don

Glenny was brought on board as head coach and the Raiders were born.

The team will be based at Greenmeadows, playing their home games at Ngawatu Park and will come under the United Softball umbrella.

“We got sick of sitting on the side-line,” Simon says.

Having been bitter adversaries over the years, the former Rabbits and Wolves players have a storied history.

“There were a couple of years where we just went at each other. The sides used to hate each other so much there would be fights.”

However, the animosity has been put to bed as players look to create a new dynasty with the Raiders.

Simon says the side boasts talent all over the park.

“We have a big forward pack and speed to burn.”

Having spent stints with the Tigers, Wolves and Taniwha,

Simon is still chasing that elusive premiership.

“I want to change that for him,” says Don. Don says they currently have a squad of 18.

“We have not poached any players, they have all come to us on their own accord.”

As United Softball Club president, Don was the perfect man to help get the Raiders off the ground.

“We can tap into the United resources, they have gifted us the playing shirts and that’s just the start.”

Don says he will look to play an exciting brand of footy.

“You can call it adventurous, you can play basic ‘T-bone rugby league’ and become predictable or keep them guessing.”

The Raiders will kick of its campaign on April 6 against Victory at Lower Ngawhatu Players or sponsors wanting to get involved can contact Simon on 022 308 7064.

Stoke Nayland claim another title Peter Jones and Peter Grigg Stoke/Nayland is on track to repeat a clean sweep of the Tasman cricket competitions after adding another trophy to the cabinet on Sunday.

The side comfortably accounted for ACOB to claim the Nelson 50 over title at Saxton Oval.

After a bit of a scratchy start, Stoke Nayland were able to bounce back and post a creditable 223/9 off their 50 overs.

Losing the consistent Kurt Pahl in the first over of the day put them behind the eight ball and at 52 for four in the 17th over the wheels were wobbling.

However, a 114-run partnership between Paddy Howes and Ben Homan righted the ship for the red machine.

Matt Eden was the pick of the ACOB bowlers with an early breakthrough and then some tidy wicket to wicket death bowling to keep the target manageable.

ACOB never really got going as Ben Stark accounted for Akileash Reddy in the first over of the chase.

Howes backed up his batting effort with a well-controlled seven overs that yielded three wickets and maintained the screws on any potential ACOB fightback.

AT A GLANCE: Stoke Nayland 223/9 (Patrick Howes 72, Ben Homan 40, Dylan Eginton 27*, Matt Eden 3/22) ACOB 99 (Daniel Grimes 24, Ben Stark 3/21, Howes 3/31, Billy Guyton 2/13) Stoke Nayland won by 124 runs.

In the Tasman Premier League, Stoke will meet the Marlborough Dolphins in this Saturday’s final at Horton Park.

After dismissing ACOB for just 110 in 36.3 overs, the Dolphins polished off their target for the loss of just two wickets in a tick over 20 overs.

They then cruised to the total for the loss of just two wickets to book themselves a home final.

Meanwhile, at Marsden Rec in Nelson, Stoke Nayland player Ben Homan called on all of his maturity and skills to lead his side to a threewicket victory in a low-

scoring affair.

Chasing a seemingly sub-par 106, the home team battled throughout and were in dire straits at 70 for seven when Ben Stark joined Homan.

He slowly gained the ascendancy and produced seven boundaries in his outstanding 86-ball effort.

Earlier in the day an insipid batting effort by Falcons combined with tight bowling and sharp fielding

by Stoke Nayland ensured the visitors were never able to gain enough momentum to post a large total.

AT A GLANCE: ACOB 110 (Ben Gully 48, James Graham 18, Josh Poole 5-21, Prabodha Arthavidu 3-27) Dolphins 111-2 (Luke Frankland 41*, Ben Blackman 39).

Dolphins win by eight wickets.

Falcons 106 (Matthew Stretch 40, Darius Skeaping 3/20, Mark Mekalick 2/24, Patrick Howes 2/28) Stoke Nayland 107/7 (Ben Homan 49*, Matthew Stretch 4/17) Stoke Nayland won by 3 wickets.

SportS Harriers: The latest run in the Waimea Harrier series saw runners take on the 6.5km course from the Port Hills. Sergio Lobos and Brian Kemp fought hard at the front of the field for line honours, with Sergio finishing in 29.53mins, just 11 seconds ahead of Brian.

Netball: The Mainland Tactix were in town on

Saturday, upskilling local netballers before its ANZ Premiership clash with the Northern Mystics. Players spent the afternoon at the Richmond Aquatic Centre with members of the Nelson Netball Next Steps Academy. The day also served as the launch of Nelson Netball’s new partnership with Pics Peanut Butter. On the court, the Tactix proved too strong for the Mystics, registering a 52-48 win at the Trafalgar Centre.

Speedway: Adie Drake picked up his second South Island Sidecar title on Saturday night as he and partner Kieran Satherley claimed the Ricks Tyre and Auto South Island title. The Production Saloon club champs were a nail biter going into the final races with series leader Kaylim McNabb left parked on the infield in the first heat cutting down his points lead dramatically.

Wanderers stun Nelson Ethan Blackadder is hit hard as Wanderers survived a late onslaught to secure a thrilling 26-22 win over Nelson at Trafalgar Park. Photo: Evan Barnes/Shuttersport.

Jonty Dine

Relentless defence has seen Wanderers score a dramatic victory over Nelson in the Tasman Trophy on Saturday.

Despite two yellow cards, a serious neck injury, and spending the final minutes camped their own line, a tenacious Wanderers side held on for a gusty 26-22 win at Trafalgar Park.

Chris Hala’ufia scored the first for Wanderers before winger Naki Saumaki dotted down in the corner, making it two for the

visitors with less than 20 minutes gone.

It was all Wanderers early on until a yellow card for a no arms tackle saw centre Tone Vaka given a ten-minute spell on the side-line.

First five Justin Barr was the second Wanderer sent to the bin after he failed to control an intercept attempt.

The host’s execution was poor but hooker Pelefoti Siaki eventually rumbled over for Nelson to ensure they had some points on the board before the break.

The Wanderers’ defence was brutal and even Crusader

Ethan Blackadder found himself losing metres in some bruising hits.

However, the weight of possession for Nelson eventually saw the visitors crack with prop Kershawl Sykes-Martin powering his way over the chalk to reduce the deficit to 12.

The third yellow of the game was then issued to Nelson prop Inoke Latu for not wearing a mouthguard.

However, Wanderers were unable to take advantage with Nelson skipper Chris Kerslake driving over for his team’s third, bringing

the hosts back within a try.

It proved a double blow for Wanderers. The game was significantly delayed for a serious neck injury as prop Curtis Bandy lay prone for 20 minutes until the ambulance arrived.

Once the game was back underway, Nelson piled on the pressure and a Mitchell Barry penalty reduced the margin to four.

The home side probed desperately in a frantic final five, but Wanderers refused to relent and tackled themselves into the turf for a famous win.

Skipper Fletcher Matthews says they had a point to prove against the defending champs.

“We really took it to them in that first half, a few cards put us behind the 8-ball but the boys did a really good job to hold on.”

Scorers: Wanderers 26 (Hala’ufia, Saumaki tries, Barr 2 cons, 2 pens, Poy 2 pens) Nelson 22 (Siaki, SykesMartin, Kerslake, tries, Barry 2 cons, 1 pen) In the earlier match at Trafalgar’s double header, a last minute try for Waimea

ensured they kept their three-year winning streak against Stoke alive with a 27-25 win. In Motueka, Marist were too strong for Kahurangi, hammering the hosts 57-0. Over the hill, Waitohi and Central enjoyed big wins over Renwick and Moutere respectively.

Goals galore as Suburbs notch season’s first win Jonty Dine

have finally opened the scoring in the 35th minute after going in off the upright, before he was ruled offside by the linesman.

It took more than 130 minutes of football, but Ed Sillars finally opened the Suburbs’ scoring just before the break with a precision header.

Nomads’ response was immediate as Jacob made up for his earlier infringement and hammered home the equalizer with just minutes remaining in the first half.

The goals ignited both sides as the shots came thick and fast in the closing moments.

Sillars came agonizingly close to netting a second with a stunning strike that went over the crossbar.

After going goalless for almost three halves of football, Nelson Suburbs got themselves on the board in the MPL with a scoring blitz on Saturday.

A clinical 4-2 win over Nomads saw Suburbs open its account after the round 2 fixture against Coastal was postponed due to the Christchurch attacks.

The side was looking to make a statement at Saxton following their dire 0-0 draw against Western in round one.

Jordan Yong, James McClay and Alex Ridsdale were making their first appearances on return from Tasman United and the trio were busy early on.

Jacob Anderson looked to

deadlock with a deft left footer which dribbled into the corner of the net.

Moments later Ben Wright put Yong in space as he again thundered the ball into the open goal.

His stunning second half continued as he made a trademark run down the touch to set up Cameron Gordan who nailed a fourth for the hosts.

Liam Paterson pulled one back late for Nomads with a nonchalant goal in the 90th minute but the damage had been done.

Tahuna claims Cameron Cup It’s been a long time between drinks for the Tahuna Tennis Club as they ended their 31-year title drought at the weekend.

Tahuna clinched the coveted Cameron Cup for the first time since 1988 as the NBS senior interclub tennis season wrapped in in dramatic style.

The cup is the final competition in the Mens A Grade league, consisting of two weeks of play between the top four teams of the season.

A close battle ensued in the first week with Nelson Overrule working their magic to beat club mates Nelson Tonking by four matches to two, followed by Tahunanui Speights Vintage winning against Richmond by the same margin.

Nelson went into the final with the home court advantage against

Tahuna Vintage and started strongly.

Nelson’s Simon Phillips and Sam Innes-Walker took the first set in the doubles only for Oscar Symonds and Johnnie Cameron to take the next two sets and game, 4/6, 6/3, 10/6.

Tahuna won the third and fourth singles matches leaving Overrule with a big task in the second leg of the tie.

Phillips took the top singles match 6/1, 6/0 against Symonds and Sam Innes-Walker dug deep in the second set to take the second singles 1/6, 6/4/10/6 against Johnnie Cameron.

Taekwondo fighters take on tournament Jonty Dine Fighters from across Oceania descended on Nelson at the weekend for the 2019 Tasman Nelson Marlborough Taekwondo Championships.

Held at Saxton Stadium, the tournament featured fighters from six to 69-years-old across a variety of belt colours.

Fiji’s Raynav Chand made the trip a memorable one for his club, taking home the best colour belt crown while Isabel Leeburn from Christchurch won the poomsae division.

The visiting competitors continued to shine as

Auckland’s Tiffany Ko won the black belt poomsae while Alex Ryder from Hawke’s Bay took home overall best belt and Kyorugi fighter.

Organiser Gavin Gallot says both patterns were fought at a very high level.

“Out of town and overseas teams were blown away with the quality of the tournament and the venue was just perfect.”

He says Richmond Taekwondo’s own club members performed impressively.

“We took a huge haul of medals in both patterns and sparring – from our youngest six-year-old to our oldest over-40 fighter.”

Gavin says the tournament was only made possible thanks to sponsorship from Bowater Toyota, Spark, Hills Cleaning and Saxton Lodge.

It served as the first taste of competition for a number of local fighters.

Gavin’s daughter Mila Gallot was fighting in her first tournament and had a memorable debut She claimed bronze in the yellow belt patterns and won the Kyorugi yellow-green belt for girls under 132cm.

Next on the competition calendar is the BudoSouth Open in Tauranga from April 13.

WEDNESDAY 27 March 2019

Footballing twins off to Texas Local twins Libby and Ellie Moffat are travelling to Texas within the next couple of weeks to play for the New Zealand Secondary Schools girls’ football team.

The Waimea College pupils will compete in the Dallas International Girls Cup, one of the biggest youth football tournaments in the world.

The 15-year-olds, who will turn 16 while they are away, were selected for the team in September last year after their performances for Waimea College at the Gary Snowden tournament in Blenheim. The team won the tournament, going through unbeaten and winning every game by at least three goals.

They leave on April 10 and will be away for two weeks, which includes pre-tournament training, the event itself, and a bit of sightseeing.

Their first four days in Houston

will be taken up with team practices and getting to know their fellow team members, who they have never met before.

Libby, a goal-scoring winger, and Ellie, a goalkeeper, say they could not believe it when they heard they had been selected.

“It was crazy. We’re never been out of the country,” Libby says.

All their friends think it is “awesome”.

“They’re just as excited as we are.”

The girls have been playing football together for about 12 years, and turned out for Waimea Plains and Richmond Athletic, before the college side.

They have been practising as much as they can in preparation for the tournament, which will be the first time they have represented New Zealand.

Along with their parents, they would like to thank Stoke business Insite Windows and Doors for its financial support.

Ellie and Libby Moffat will represent New Zealand Secondary Schools in Houston at one of the biggest youth football tournaments in the world. Photo: Colin Williscroft.

Mum Lisa says the cost of the trip is about $7000 for each of the girls, so support from Insite has proved invaluable.

Lisa also paid tribute to the spirit of the Waimea College girls’ team.

“Football is strong at the college and that team is an amazing bunch of girls.”

Also, there for the girls is older sister Holly, now at university but who captained the college team last year.

Holly, a former Tasman United women’s player, has been quite an inspiration, Lisa says.
