New cycleway ‘disaster waiting to happen’ Sara Hollyman and Charles Anderson
For the love of the game With the Tasman Rugby Union is continuing to move from a ‘win at all costs’ mindset to instead focus on development, enjoyment, and meaningful competition we look at how that is playing out in encouraging younger players to the game.
You only have to look at four-year-old Sofia Ilton’s face to suggest the future is in good hands. Here she is playing her first game of Rippa Rugby on Saturday. Full story on page 27. Photo by Chris Symes of Shuttersport.
Every time Jeremy Read sees a cyclist whizz past his house at 40kmh he just shakes his head. “It’s going to be a disaster,” he says of the Annesbrook cycle way project, which has clogged one of the city’s main routes for the past several months. Jeremy has lived on the road for the past 20 years and says he has had his fair share of issues with cyclists going too fast and not paying enough attention for him to turn safely into his driveway. But now that the Tahunanui Pathways project is underway he fears that those dangers will be exacerbated. “If you get someone going down there at 40kmh you do not have time to react,” he says. “It’s a ticking bomb. It’s a disaster waiting to happen.” The project means that residents berms on one side of the road are being removed to allow for a widened shared pathway. This week the main part of the work is outside Angela Pidgeon’s in-home childcare business. “I’ll be honest, it’s a massive pain.” However, she is in two minds as next year her daughter will go to Broadgreen Intermediate and it means she will be able to cycle safely the whole way there. “But right now, it is pretty annoying. It gets quite chaotic in the mornings
with drop-offs of children.” She has also been told that her fence will need to be amended to allow for better viewings of cyclists. “I’m not sure who pays for that.” Some residents in the area also received a notice from Nelson City Council before the works began, informing them that there would be no right turn into or out of Douglas Rd between Wednesday March 20 and Friday April 12. But it was just last week, almost month later, that the right-hand turn opened up. Residents say they would’ve expected some form of communication to inform them of the delay. One resident who lives on Annesbrook Drive and did not want to be named says they didn’t receive any notice at all about the upcoming works. “Lack of communication on council’s part as to letting the opposite side of the road know what the plan is, is terrible, I’ve had no information at all, the communication from both council and the contractors has been really poor.” However, Annesbrook Drive’s ABS Motorcycle owner Andy Watson says contractors are doing a good job and traffic delays have been kept to a minimum. “Overall it’s a fairly big project they’re doing in one hit and they’re managing it the best they can.”

New cycleway ‘disaster waiting to happen’ FROM PAGE 1 The overall project will see improvements between the Annesbrook Drive roundabout and Parkers Road including installation of power ducts for Network Tasman, the renewal of a council water reticulation main and stage one of the Tahunanui Pathways upgrade project. Council’s group manager infrastructure Alec Louverdis says the collaboration has delivered cost savings by being able to work together. “It also importantly minimises the disruption to residents and road users by ensuring that all work is undertaken at the same time.” He says the project is progressing well and, subject to weather conditions, a completion date of July is anticipated. The cost of the project is shared
between council, NZTA and Network Tasman. Alec says the $712,000 water main renewal is a cost to NCC as is a $70,000 contribution to the pathway, with the remaining $500,000 paid for by NZTA’s Urban Cycleway Fund. Network Tasman is paying for the new power cable, as well as a share of the trenching costs. “The water main’s one they’ve needed to do for a while now so for it to be addressed is great, and to have the new pathway/ cycleway when it’s finished will be really good. “Council takes the opportunity to thank everyone for their patience while we carry out this important upgrade project,” says Alec. He also says that council worked hard to communicate what was going on to residents, including visiting them and doing letterbox drops.

Refugees left out in the cold Charles Anderson Editor
charles@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Even when the Correa family faced down kidnappers and threats of violence in their home country they were never separated. They fled their native Colombia for a better life and managed all that time to stay together. But now, as former refugees, the family of five has been forced to live separately as they struggle to find accommodation. It comes in the wake of a two-year tenancy struggle where they lived in a cold and damp flat that the family says exacerbated their health issues. The tenancy tribunal has recently partially ruled in their favour against property managers Bolitho’s, awarding
The Tenancy Tribunal found that there were mould and condensation issues at the premise during the Correas’ stay there, however, it disputed whether the landlord was made aware of it. The landlord then did some remedial work on the house which meant Andrea had to move to the living room for several weeks over Christmas. It ruled that this was an overstep and ordered Bolitho’s to pay the family compensation. Terry Bolitho says that once the company became aware of the matter it acted immediately to remedy it in a timely manner. “We have acted in accordance with best practice; and with integrity throughout this process. We always accept and abide by any ruling from the Tenancy Tribunal.”
the family over $1400. However, now they believe they have been blacklisted – having applied for over 20 properties and being turned down for all of them. Fleeing violence and persecution, Mother Nayibe says that when they first arrived in Nelson and got the Kawai St it felt like they were “born again”. But soon they discovered issues with the house’s dampness and humidity. Daughter Andrea had serious breathing issues and father Luis developed an eye infection. “We are so grateful to be here but just don’t think it was appropriate to be treated this way, especially for health reasons,” Luis says. They are now struggling to find somewhere else to live and are staying with friends across three different homes.

Prime Minister officially opens new hospice Jonty Dine The Nelson Tasman Hospice has been officially opened to the region after a multi million dollar fundraising effort from the communty. At the opening on Thursday, hospice chief executive Frans Dellebeke said the facility reflects the importance the hospice holds within Nelson. He said there were thousands of individuals that have helped contribute to the facility, which is now among the best in the county. “Our community has funded this building; we can now continue to provide quality palliative service for many years to come.” Guests of honour at the unveiling included Betty and Greg Drumm, who were the sister and nephew of the Hospice’s biggest benefactor, Daniel O’Brien. Daniel died in 2016 and bequeathed $4.2million towards the hospice. “His generous request has made all the difference in being able to get where we are today,” Frans said. His contribution was honoured through the naming of the Daniel O’Brien In Patient Wing. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern

The new Nelson Tasman Hospice began taking in patients from April 11 and Ardern said she felt incredibly humbled to attend the ceremony and unveil the hospice’s plaque at its entrance. “This building belongs to you; this is a community project.” She said the scale of contribution made by the community had been immense. “I hope, when you drive past this
facility, you feel enormously proud.” Ardern says there are 19,000 Kiwis that use palliative services every year. “All of us will have a story and the care, compassion and knowledge that exists inside these buildings is second to none.” Several initiatives, including Dancing with the Stars and Steampunk Fantasy fundraisers, contributed to the completion of the project. The soil was broken in February
2018 with an original budget of around $13 million and managed to come in under this with the facility costing $11.5million. Earlier, the Prime Minister spoke to the Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce at the Trafalgar Centre as she laid out the government’s strategy to address the skills shortage in regional New Zealand. She then went on to thank the firefighters that battled the Tasman fires earlier this year.
Traffic on Waimea Rd will slow down at the end of May, with the Nelson City Council voting to lower the speed limit on a stretch of the busy road. From May 31, a 1.3km section of Waimea Rd from 240m south of Market Rd through to 200m north of the Beatson Rd roundabout will reduce from 70kmph to 50kmph. Councillors green-lighted the reduction at a meeting last Thursday, after it was recommended by the works and infrastructure committee in March. Public consultation was undertaken ahead of the decision. Council received 89 submissions and heard from eight submitters in person at a hearing on 6 March. The majority of submitters (66 per cent) supported reducing the Waimea Rd speed limit from 70kph to 50kph. Most of them cited safety reasons for supporting the proposed changes. Council also wanted to create a workable speed environment for the proposed new intersection of Princes Dr with Waimea Rd. There will be reminder signs in place in the weeks leading up to the change.
What it takes to really enjoy your golden years, in the golden bays and beyond Graham Warner, Perpetual Guardian Nelson’s new Investment Adviser, understands why someone might be hesitant to seek investment advice, but suggests it is not as scary as one might think. He is now on a mission to help locals make sure they get to enjoy their golden years.
One of the aspects he loves about his work is seeing his clients’ satisfaction of reaching retirement with their nest egg in place thanks to strong investment advice.
An Authorised Financial Adviser, Graham says it is important that people get qualified advice when thinking about planning for or investing in retirement. “The most common question I am asked is ‘what do I need to do to have more choices in retirement.’ The answer is based on varying factors such the person’s living preferences, current assets etc.,” he says.
The thing about investing is that it has to be achievable. People still need to be able to live and enjoy life while their investment quietly bubbles away in the background, working hard for them to help achieve their retirement goals.”
“I encourage people to just get started with a simple conversation around goals for retirement, and to ensure they get everything else sorted first. By that I mean paying down high-interest credit card and other debts, so that they can be in a position to comfortably start their retirement plan.” Graham says the decision to join Perpetual Guardian was driven by the company’s peoplefirst approach with both staff and clients – as opposed to the more corporate environments he has worked in over the years. His passion for what he does often sees Graham following clients through to their retirement.
“Kiwis are excellent at planning annual holidays, but not as great at organising their personal finances and planning for retirement.
A key aspect of Graham’s job is to help clients see the reality of their current situation and what that would mean in retirement. Getting advice early on, he explains, can help get on the right path and ensure a comfortable retirement. Graham’s investment advice services are complemented by the rest of the Nelson team’s expertise in all other areas of fiduciary (Wills, Trusts, Estates and Enduring Powers of Attorney) and philanthropy services. To discuss your retirement plans or investment questions you can call Graham on 03 989 2902. More information is available at www. perpetualguardian.co.nz Business Update. Adv.

To enter the Shop n Win competition is easy. Simply buy something at any of the more than 40 participating stores, fill in the entry form and you’re in to win. The promotion has been running for three years, but this year the winner will go on a $5000 shopping spree in Nelson city with the runner up winning a $500 House of Travel voucher and third place a $200 dining voucher.

The additional prizes mean this is the biggest Shop n Win ever. Rutherford Hotel general manager Alexander Siebentritt says the establishment has several places customers can enter – including their restaurants and cafes. The competition is run by Nelson Weekly in conjunction with Uniquely Nelson. Uniquely Nelson manager Simon Duffey says the promotion is going from strength to strength. “Shop and Win is humming along with lots of people entering through the new tablets,” he says. “Customers love the idea of a $5000 shopping spree credit that can be spent at any of the participating stores.”
The scale of Nelson’s methamphetamine problem is beginning to be revealed, with it being the most common drug trace detected in our region’s wastewater. Nelson Police began testing waste water in November for traces of methamphetamine, MDMA/ecstasy, cocaine, fentanyl and heroin as part of a National Wastewater Testing Programme. Marijuana was not tested for. The tests pick up byproducts of the drugs found in urine. The first results cover the three months from November 2018 – January 2019 with water being tested for one week each month. The results show that the Nelson testing points, which include Greymouth, Westport, Nelson City, Nelson-Bell Island, and Blenheim, have more methamphetamine trace than any of the other drugs that were tested for. The average methamphetamine use per 1000 people in the Nelson testing zone was averaged to be 400mg per day with MDMA sitting at approximately 125mg per day. Heroin was not detected at any of the sample sites across the country. The figures below show the average proportion of drug traces detected within the catchment areas; which aims to highlight the difference in
patterns of drug use throughout New Zealand. In Nelson City, methamphetamine made up 72 percent of the sample, with MDMA at 27 percent and cocaine at 1 percent At Bell Island, methamphetamine made up 79 percent and MDMA was 21 percent. Police Commissioner Mike Bush says police are continuing to build a clearer picture of New Zealand’s drug use and that the testing covers around 80 percent of New Zealand’s population. The preliminary results estimate New Zealand’s consumption of methamphetamine to be approximately 16kgs per week and MDMA at around 4kgs per week - a total street value of more than $9.6million. “Three months of results, however, are only an early indicator of illicit drug use levels in New Zealand and cannot yet be used to draw any firm conclusions,” Mike says. He says that, while the results prove the benefits of nationwide wastewater testing, it is only a snapshot of the bigger picture that long-term testing will lead to. “These early results give us an idea of the potential for this type of data and, as testing continues, it will enhance our understanding of the demand and supply of illicit drugs and the associated harm caused in our communities.”

Teens get serious about teeth Kate Russell It’s official - Top of the South teens have been visiting the dentist more than any other adolescents in the country. Statistics show that Nelson Marlborough Health had the best adolescent oral health enrolment and utilisation results in New Zealand in 2018, with the latest interim results at 80 per cent compared to 67.5 per cent nationally.
As well the NMH attributing the results to the comparatively high number of dentists providing services to youths, Nelson Weekly asked Whanake Youth how they were getting more teenagers to the dentist. Their answer - The Wicked Tooth Fairy, a Nelson-based transportation and support service. More than 100 appointments have been made with the service since it was launched in June last

year - that includes 70 from 2018 and 36 this year, so far. Rachel Gordon, The Wicked Tooth Fairy project lead, says they have increased their numbers “significantly” this year, with another 13 teens booked in this month. “We are getting more referrals from students, and their friends are referring others on for us to contact. Even dentists have been sending us through referrals.” Free dental care is available

to teens from year nine to their 18th birthday from contracted dentists through the adolescent oral health service, which includes one examination per year, treatment and advice. Fifteen-year-old Jess Watkins from alternative education provider Youth Nelson, says if it wasn’t for The Wicked Tooth Fairy she would never have gone to the dentist. “They pick me up, take me there, bring me back and a support person comes with me. If I was by myself, I wouldn’t have gone. I don’t like it and I wouldn’t have been bothered. But they encouraged me without
being pushy.” Co-director of Whanake Youth, Lee-ann O-Brien, says many teenagers get nervous about going to the dentist. “But we liaise with the dentists, schools or other education providers and provide the transport and support to fill out all the forms.” She believes the service has “definitely” contributed to the latest statistics. “It’s the only service like it in the country. Eighty percent is good, but we’re still working with that other 20 per cent, though. We’re aiming for 100 per cent.”

Local busker competes in ‘German Idol’ finale Locally Owned and Operated
Matt McCrorie
It was a chance encounter on the streets of Majorca that led Nelson busker Nick Ferretti to the glittering final stage of Germany’s biggest music competition. Nick and his wife moved to Europe three years ago, to give his music a chance of success. Since then he has been busking for a living and performing, but was well known around Nelson, performing at bars and events. But nothing could have prepared him for taking the stage at the finals of ‘Deutschland sucht den Superstar’ - the German version of American Idol. “It definitely helped my confidence in front of the camera,” he says. Nick was spotted busking in the streets of Majorca by one of the show’s judges, Dieter Bohlen. Dieter told him that he had a shot of winning the show if he auditioned. So Nick did just that, and months after the audition process his hard work paid off. He recently competed in
the final against three other contestants for a record deal and NZ$168,500 Although he narrowly missed out on the grand prize, Nick says that the experience has honed his skills. He began his music career as a professional busker, travelling New Zealand. “We did a tour in a house bus in 2015. Then on to Melbourne, England and Mallorca, playing weddings, bars and the street.” Part of Nick’s success is his acoustic sets as he performs with his guitar - just him and his voice. “I’m a little bit of different in that I have played the guitar in most of my performances.” By comparison, a lot of the other singers use prerecorded backing tracks. But Nick writes his own songs, despite only being able to perform covers on the show. However, he always puts his own unique spin on them. His proud mum Kerry says he finally has the break he deserves. “He’s gone from a thousand followers on Instagram to well over 40,000, so it’s definitely helped him gain
some exposure. He’s doing what he was always meant to do, he was always meant to be on the stage.” Nick is a former Waimea College student and grew up in Hope. Kerry says that Nick had a strong interest in music from a young age. “He’d always loved singing and he had an amazing memory for songs. I used to have music playing in the car when he was young and he could remember the words for any song he heard. “His dad got him a guitar when he was nine, and by the time he was 10 he was playing Jimi Hendrix. He just had a natural gift.” Nick cites some of his early musical influences as Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon and Joni Mitchell. During the finale, Nick performed his own rendition of ‘Hallelujah’ among several other songs. Although Nick missed out on the victory, Kerry says that the experience has been invaluable for Nick. “For him to have come this far - he’s gained an audience, and he will go from strength to strength.”

Road safety in spotlight

Luca taken to new heights Sara Hollyman A generous four-year-old boy was taken to new heights on Sunday as part of an annual fundraiser. Luca Wiegand arrived at the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter Trust Base Open Day dressed as a fire fighter. The judges of the annual dress-up competition were so impressed by his get-up that he was one of five children selected as a winner. As a prize Luca and his mum
were treated to a scenic helicopter ride over Nelson - something that others were paying $70 for during the fundraiser. It was his first time in a helicopter and Luka thought the view up there was something pretty special. What did he see? “Lots of houses and roads.” The win was made even more special by the fact that in March, Luca had made a generous donation to the trust. Luca had chosen to have a 50/50 party to mark his fourth birthday.
A 50/50 party encourages guests to bring a cash gift with half of the money used by the child to buy a present and the other half donated to a charity chosen by the child. Luca chose the rescue helicopter trust and took his donation down to the base after his party, where it was gratefully received by the crew on duty. Rescue helicopter manager Paula Muddle says the open day is a great opportunity to allow locals an insight into what emergency services get up to
day-to-day. “We never run out of small kids who want to see helicopters and fire engines and ambulances.” She says it was also a chance for people they had rescued to pop along and offer their thanks, which was a regular occurrence. “They think we’ve got the doors closed and they can’t come and see us, so they use this day to come by and say thanks to the crew.” The open day was a great boost for the May Chopper Appeal, with $3000 raised for the trust.

Road Safety Week runs from 6 till 12 May with a range of events happening around the country. Nelson City Council is inviting everyone to come along to their tent at the Nelson Market on Saturday 11 May. Council is keen to hear what Nelsonians think the key issues about road safety are, including speed limits and also their thoughts on public transport. This will include an opportunity to complete a short survey to indicate what you think appropriate speed limits are on different types of roads. The information gathered will help with the research for an upcoming speed limit bylaw review. The survey will also soon be available on the website, nelson. govt.nz. Council will also be doing a bus service review later this year and would like to hear what improvements you would like to see or to find out what is holding you back from using the NBus service currently.

More beds for Nelson Hospital Kate Russell Reporter
kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz
A brand-new unit at Nelson Hospital is set to ease the pressure on bed space before the busy winter season hits. The 10-bed Medical Assessment and Planning Unit (MAPU) opens on 1 July. It will receive patients needing medical care, allowing people with multiple medical conditions to be assessed by doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and social workers so that a comprehensive care plan can be put in place. This will improve the patient experience, ensure that investigations and treatments are quicker, and decrease wait time. Nelson Hospital emergency department charge nurse manager Sharon Scott will manage the unit and says it will be a huge help until hospital’s long-awaited redevelopment takes shape. “We don’t have many medical beds compared to the size of our
population. It will improve the flow of the hospital and reduce the waiting time for patients in ED,” she says. Sharon was one of the team who set up and tested a trial unit between August and October 2018. She says the results of the trial were impressive and is delighted that the unit is being made permanent under Nelson Marlborough Health’s Models of Care programme. “We surveyed patients and 51 out of 53 rated their care as either ‘outstanding’ or ‘good.’ People will be referred to the hospital by their GP and will be fast-tracked through ED into the new unit. Other patients will be admitted to the unit from ED. Sharon says fewer medical patients will have to be admitted to the surgical ward, because the medical ward is full. And, as well as creating more beds, the unit will be creating 14 new jobs in the region. Sharon says they will aim to have patients discharged within 36 hours. “It’s not like a normal ward, its very patient centred.”
GENERATIONS OF NELSON Brought to you by Marsden House
Bringing Home tHe Bacon
When settlers began arriving in Motueka between 1800 and 1850, there were at least three Maori settlements in the area, and pigs kept free range were wont to feast on settler crops.
Advised by the Magistrate that he had no recourse in law on this score, disgruntled settler Charlie Parker took a hungry pig hostage. Mr Parker survived the resultant confrontation with its owner, but his hostage disappeared overnight.

Giving up on Nelson’s housing market: Yep, sadly this is the reality for many families in Nelson. Either rent and pay someone else's high mortgage or try buy your own home. The prices are ridiculous, hardly anything under 550k. Even with two parents working full time, it's still not enough to get into the housing market at the moment. We're considering savings for our kid’s futures and anything else to put towards holidays and making memories instead of owning a home at the moment. Jessica Riordan

That's why we moved to Hamilton. Better wages, cheaper living and cheaper housing. Our mortgage is less than what we were paying in rent when we lived in Nelson. Alicia Moke
Why is everyone obsessed with owning their own home? I would much rather rent and live in the place I want to live, than move to a cheaper, less desirable place just so I have a house. Jonathan Rait
Yes, Nelson/Richmond is very expensive compared to other parts of NZ. Rent is also very expensive here as well. A small bit of research would confirm it for anyone considering moving here. Wages are low, with the greatest number of jobs available being only minimum wage. Unfortunately, I don't see this changing. Unless there is sizable affordable housing developed close to Nelson/Richmond, things will only get worse. Murray Murdoch
Love Nelson, that's home to me, as family and friends are there. But rent was getting a bit much and it was our dream to be able to buy a home, so we ended up going to Hokitika and brought our home (still very much miss Nelson, though). Nikita Scott Yep. We hear so much about Auckland, but Nelson - expensive housing, expensive food, expensive fuel, “sunshine” wages, limited opportunities. Stack those things
up and the difference will be unpleasantly surprising. Amanda Jay Bayliss Nelson is too expensive. We couldn't afford even the cheapest house. Sad we can't raise our family there, I have such good memories of growing up in Nelson and it will always be home, even if we can't afford to live there. Pohutakawa Catniss Don't blame them, if I wasn't already a home owner, there's no way I could afford to buy here. The young ones looking to buy their first home have next to no chance here. Christine Roberts Well, if people were allowed to only own one
Nelson Matters I am a staunch opponent of recreational drugs. I have personally witnessed hundreds of lives ruined by drugs from my school and university days through to my community and constituency work as Nelson’s MP. I see the impact drug abuse has on family violence, crime, child neglect, suicide, welfare dependency, our road toll and people’s mental health. The change causing controversy this month is the amendments to the Misuse of Drugs Act directing Police that they may only prosecute for possession of illegal drugs after considering all other options, including treatment. This radical change applies to all illegal drugs like
cannabis, meth and heroin. The NZ Law Society says that under these changes they cannot foresee any prosecutions being taken for possession of illegal drugs. The Police Association strongly oppose it saying it amounts to defacto decriminalisation. It will make Police’s job of limiting access to drugs near impossible. The Government’s philosophy behind these changes is to make drugs a health issue rather than a criminal issue. I am all for increasing access and support for drug treatment and rehabilitation, but these programmes will always have mixed success rates. The best cure is prevention. I am also all for educational programmes that help young people
make better choices. The problem with decriminalisation and going soft on enforcement is it removes any personal responsibility and sends a signal that drug use is not a problem. The Government is also proposing, at the Green Party’s insistence, a referendum in 2020 on legalizing cannabis. This in itself sends a message to young people that the Prime Minister and Government thinks cannabis use is OK. The medical evidence on cannabis, like from Otago University’s world famous longitudinal study, shows its use increases mental health problems, reduces educational achievement and acts as a gateway to more serious drugs.
house maybe it would ease the situation. Our landlords have three houses (which I know of in Nelson) .... they live in Christchurch. That's three houses unavailable for Nelsonians. Liam Bancroft
So sad - renting costs and/or buying completely unattainable now for so many young families. Very concerning. Rachelle Davis
As first homebuyer, it’s not hard - I think people are too picky. Getting a first home is hard, but if you’re not picky about it and just get into a home, from then on I’ve been told it’s easier to buy the next home. But I’m staying where I am. Ben Van Den Elzen
544 Waimea Road, Nelson
I am cautious of the argument that if you regulate rather than ban a recreational drug, you can better manage its harm. We tried this in 2013 with party pills and synthetic cannabis and it was a disaster. People falsely believed these drugs were safe if the Government was regulating them. We also need to look to other countries and states that have been experimenting with legalizing cannabis. The experience is that usage increases and so has the harm. Criminal gangs remain involved. Age limits are easily evaded when a drug becomes legal. I am also frustrated that the Government has made no attempt to address the ongoing problem of
drugged drivers. The number of drugged driver road fatalities at 79 now exceeds drink drivers of 70 per year. National has repeatedly tried to introduce a Bill enabling random roadside drug testing like for alcohol, but this has been opposed by Government parties. This Government’s soft approach to drugs is seriously flawed. We need to be strong, clear and consistent that happiness does not come in a bong or a bottle. These measures will make us less healthy, poorer and a less successful nation.

Community awards still open Due to a late flurry of interest last week, nominations for the Eelco Boswijk Civic Awards have been extended until Thursday. Council presents awards every three years to recognise individuals and groups who are helping to make Nelson the special place that it is. There are five awards to recognise individuals and groups who are helping us achieve our goals as a community. These are in line with the vision that Nelson is the Smart Little City where we are deeply connected with, and committed to, our natural, social and cultural environment. Mayor Rachel Reese says the awards are about recognising our greatest heroes and helpers and were inspired by famous Nelsonian Eelco Boswijk who made a huge contribution to our city in a great many ways. Council is proud to honour his legacy through these awards. The five award Categories are: Community Hero, Change maker, Leadership, Kaitiakitanga and Smart Little City. You can nominate an individual or group online at nelson.govt.nz/civic-awards or pop into their Customer Service Centre or your nearest library. The awards ceremony will be held on 5 June. Rachel says: “This year’s awards are a way to recognise and thank those people who are making a difference here and now in Nelson.”

New ambulances for region Jonty Dine A trio of new ambulances is set to start saving lives across the region. The three vehicles were gifted to St John last week with one to be based at Richmond and one to each Motueka and Blenheim. Territory manager Robbie Blankstein says ambulances no longer simply act as transport to the hospital. “These are our offices - the days of working in a converted campervan are over.” The highly-equipped, lifesaving vehicles do not come cheap,
however, with each ambulance costing $220,000. But the new additions were made possible thanks to donations from Pub Charity Limited in partnership with Northend Hotels. Among the revolutionary features is an automated Powerload Stryker Stretcher, which will reduce staff injuries and fatigue. “Our job is unplanned; we pick up multiple patients often multiple times per day,” Robbie says. He says the new stretcher will mean 70 fewer lifts per day for ambulance officers. “It is one of the many design
benefits.” The three emergency vehicles were blessed and dedicated at a ceremony in Nelson last Friday morning. St John District operations manager for Tasman, James McMeekin, says the generous donations helps ensure local ambulance crews have the most up-to-date vehicles and lifesaving equipment to treat patients. “No one knows when they will need an ambulance, but if and when the time comes, you need to know you’ll get the right care at the right time.”
Pub Charity Limited chief executive Martin Cheer says, for someone in distress, there can be no more comforting sound than a siren off in the distance, indicating help is at hand. “Then come the men and women of St John - cool and calm under pressure, responding with a confidence that allows a patient to focus on their own well-being.” In the calendar year 2018, St John responded to 12,828 incidents in the Nelson Bays and Marlborough area, 33.3 percent of these were life threatening or time critical.

Christin stages fashion revolution Jonty Dine Reporter
jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Adorned in a dress from 1930, a jacket from the 1950s and boots from the 1960s, Christin Schaeffner stood beside a mountain of discarded textiles imploring people to be smarter with their clothing choices. The pile was made up of clothing items donated to various Nelson op shops but were unable to be sold due to their condition. Christin moved to New Zealand from Germany two years ago and began working in Nelson’s Habitat for Humanity. She was horrified to see not only the poor quality of donations, but the amount op shops were forced to put in landfills. “I wanted to get the message across of how much textile is wasted in Nelson every single week through op shops and educate people about what op shops are actually capable of

Christin says people often donate their soiled and ripped clothing believing it can be repaired and resold. “If you decide to throw something away because it needs mending, fixing, washing

Global call up for local playwright Matt McCrorie It came as a complete surprise to Nelson teacher Alister Emerson when he was asked to write a play to be performed for world leaders and in nearly 80 countries. The Waimea College teacher was approached by the group Climate Change Theatre Action earlier this year, after a play he wrote in 2016, ‘Ed Sheeran Tastes like Chicken’ was seen online by one of its members. The satirical play hoped to bring attention to the dwindling numbers of Maui’s dolphins. Three years after its initial performance, it did more than just that. “It was shortlisted for the New Zealand Playmarket … so somewhere someone saw it and had a conversation, and I got tapped on the shoulder,” Alister says. The Climate Change Theatre Action Network uses theatre to create dialogue about the global climate crisis.
Fifty playwrights were commissioned to write a play under 5 minutes, which will then be performed at the United Nations Climate Summit in New York and then around the world. This year the theme was ‘Find a Light.’ The idea was to hold up examples of communities and individuals who are leading the way. Alister’s play, ‘Six polar bears fell out of the sky this morning’, is a short satire, based on the idea of denying the global climate crisis. “My take on it was to look at the way that people will try and duck for cover. People wake up to discover that polar bears have just fallen out of the sky, and how do people make it sound not as bad for the general public. The lies they have to spin to deny that it’s happening get more and more complicated.” Alister says he wanted a “light touch”. “All the questions are there. We have these strong images of mega-fauna like polar bears

people switch off,” Alister says. “The intent of this project was to come up with a way for people to understand the issues and engage with them. It has to be a hopeful story.” To Alister, the medium of theatre is the perfect way to get the message across.
“People can understand stories. As humans we’re really wired to comprehend things that way. We heard them as children. “These issues are so big, but theatre as a medium is intimate and small. It distils an issue down, and an audience can grapple with it.”

Mask Parade ‘jewel event’ turns 25
Some of the action from last year’s Mask Parade. Photo: Steve Hussey. Staff Reporter Entries are open for this year’s Mask Parade which returns to the cherished position as the opening event for the Nelson Arts Festival. The theme for the 25th annual Mask Parade is “Discovery”. “From Kupe to Cook to Curie, Da Vinci to Darwin to Dora the Explorer, we want to find out what discovery means to everyone in Nelson,” says festival director Charlie Unwin. He says the Mask Parade and Carnivale is one of the most special things about the festival. “We’re the only Festival in New Zealand to have a Mask Parade and Carnivale on this scale and it is certainly the jewel in the crown of what continues to be an
amazing festival.” He says the team is “incredibly proud” to present the Mask Parade every year, with thousands of people participating. “From the littlest to the oldies, the quietest to the loudest, the loveliest to the craziest, the Mask Parade is a celebration of creativity, colour and music, as well as, most importantly, being a whole load of fun.” Over the next two months, Nelson Arts Festival will be contacting schools and community groups, encouraging them to make the 25th celebratory year one to remember. The festival is confident that the “Discovery” theme will inspire people to create the best masks yet. Enrolments for the Mask Parade are open now on www. nelsonartsfestival.co.nz

Bella takes out Rockquest solo ARTS Staff Reporter
Annesbrook Church was the scene for Nelson’s up-andcoming musical talent on Saturday. The top 12 bands were selected for the Smokefreerockquest regional final on Friday 24 May, and the top two Nelson solo/ duo acts were named for the opportunity to go ahead to the event’s national final. The top Nelson solo-duos are Bella Shand from Motueka High School, who came first, and Brooklyn Scott and Tim Fahey from Garin College, who came second. Currently in year 11, Bella says she cannot remember a time before she was singing and playing guitar. This is her first year participating in Smokefreerockquest. “I didn’t expect to win at all, but my music teacher encouraged me, so I pulled something together,” says the 15-year-old. “It was definitely a pleasant surprise and a really good feeling” The Smokefree Tangata Beats Award went to acoustic trio ‘In Conclusive’ from Waimea College and Nayland College, who now submit footage to be selected for that event’s national final.

next stage is a big part of what make Smokefreerockquest and Smokefree Tangata Beats such valuable learning experiences,” he says. “The solo-duo acts going into the video submission round, and the bands going into their regional final will need to practise hard, and make good use of networking opportunities and social media to promote themselves and their achievements. For a lot of students these steps can be part of their NCEA assessments.” At the Nelson final there will be awards for the top three bands, the MAINZ Musicianship Award, Best Song, Best Vocal, the APRA Lyric Award, and the ZM People’s Choice voted by text. The top regional bands and solo-duos submit footage for selection as finalists to play off at the Smokefreerockquest national final at the Bruce Mason Centre in Auckland on Saturday September 14, followed by the Smokefree Tangata Beats national final on Saturday September 21. The top 12 bands play off at the Nelson regional final at the Theatre Royal, on Friday 24 May, start time 7pm, tickets from the Theatre Royal or TicketDirect.

Clash of the local titans Jonty Dine Reporter
jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz
The top two sides in the E’stel Tasman Trophy still can’t be separated. Marist and Waimea Old Boys both come into the round seven clash unbeaten and still are after 80 minutes of fierce football ended in a 26-all draw on Saturday. A late Waimea try ensured the sides would share the spoils of what was a brutal war at Tahuna Fields. The clash came at a cost for Marist as they may have lost star loose forwards Tania Fox-Matamua and Te Puhoe Stephens to season-ending injuries. The green machine scored two stunning first half tries but the injuries eventually took their toll as Waimea crept back in the second. Marist had a chance to secure the win with a penalty late in

Kaide Waiting was superb at halfback for the visitors while lock Lemeki Cagialau proved punishing with ball in hand. Young fullback Robinson played well beyond his years at
fullback, nailing two important penalties and setting up a scintillating try for Joe Taylor with a pinpoint inside kick. Skipper James Hawkey says a draw was probably the right result with both teams showing plenty of heart and fight throughout. “We played well in the first

half and they played well in the second, so I think a draw is a fair result.” James says Marist will need to put in a complete performance if they are to knock off Waimea when the sides likely meet again in play-offs. “I think it will come down to a full 80, we only showed 40 today.” The burly midfielder says the injuries to key players in flanker Stephens and number eight Fox-Matamua could spell bad news for the green machine. “They looked pretty bad, losing them early on probably killed us a bit but the rest of the boys stood up and held on which was good.” In other results, Wanderers pipped Stoke while Nelson and Central also registered wins.

Young gun makes mark Jonty Dine
Though Marlborough dominated its regional rivals at the Seddon Shield darts tournament at the weekend, it was a young gun from Nelson making her mark over the three days. Waimea’s Nicole Turner was the furthest placed junior and won the most improved award at the annual tournament. Her club also enjoyed success having thrown the most 180s with 11. Starting on Friday with the men’s and ladies’ pairs, Saturday saw singles action before the mixed pairs wrapped up proceedings at Hira on Sunday. Tournament convener Gavin Rasmussen says there was plenty of classy darts on show. Nicole Mears of Waimea and Bernard Jordan took out the singles competition while Marlborough’s John McIlroy and Jono Chandler took out the pairs. Steve Manihera and Shirley Halkett from Nelson Suburban Club also took out the mixed pairs. Gavin says there were a total of 108 entries which was well up on previous years. Attention now shifts to the Dart Council nationals in Motueka in August.

Upsets aplenty as netball gets underway Jonty Dine It was a dramatic opening round of the Nelson premier netball competition with a number of upsets as the newly-promoted sides looked to make their mark. The defending champions Prices Ahurei went down to Richmond F45 - 41-36, while Stoke and Motueka High both registered wins in their first premier appearances. Prices goal keep Holly Chandler didn’t take long to reassert her dominance on defence, the goal keep nabbing turnovers at will early in the encounter. It was a new look Richmond side which took the court having lost the Kathleen Thornalley, Lisa Book, Anna Johansen and Jelena Vucinic from last year’s squad. New additions include Harriet Ogilvie, Maddison Springer, Ruby Jensen and Tia Van Diepen, and the debutants would all make their mark as Richmond weathered the storm and saw off the
2018 premiers by five goals. Meanwhile, Nelson College for Girls were stunned by new premier side Stoke SPORTWISE 55-50. Chloe Webb was outstanding at wing attack for the losing college side. In the later game, it was business as usual as Jacks OPD enjoyed a first up win
over Stoke NBS 50-33 after a dominant season last year. Skipper Jess Drummond says it was a very pleasing start. “A great team effort with new players in new positions.” Jess says her side put in a consistent three quarters but need to improve their full game play. “It was an outstanding
defensive effort from the whole team, we still have lots of structure to work on, looking forward to next week.” She made particular mention of Jordan Webby who was playing out of position at goal shoot. In the evening’s final match, Waimea College and Motueka High played out a low scorer with the newly-
promoted Motueka claiming a 33-24 win. Results: Richmond 41 def Prices Ahurei 36 Stoke SPORTWISE 55 def NCG 50 Jacks OPD 50 def Stoke NBS 33 Motueka High 33 def Waimea College 24

Jett setter makes Giants impact Locally Owned and Operated
Jonty Dine Reporter
jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz
After every team meeting and before every game, Jordair Jett calls his mum back in the U.S. And the two say a prayer together. The St Louis native says he wouldn’t be where he is today if not for the support of his mother, and everything he does on the court is for her. “That’s my everything, always, that’s who got me doing this.” Jordair has been making a big impact at the Mike Pero Nelson Giants in his debut season as the Giants registered its third win of the season on Saturday, with
a comfortable 95-77 victory over the Super City Rangers at the Trafalgar Centre. The 27-year-old says he has settled into the region well. “I love it here, it has nice people, a nice community and environment.” He says the side is starting to gel with new combinations beginning to click. “We have some really good chemistry in the team.” Despite American Tim Quaterman amassing 40 points in an
outstanding individual effort, the scoreboard was comfortably in the home side’s favour as the Giants took the opportunity to blood some of its young guns late in the one-sided contest. Tip off was delayed by about 40 minutes as Auckland fog delayed the Ranger’s flight. Rhys Vague was again in hot form for the Giants, top scoring with 19 points, eight rebounds and an assist. Eighteen-year-old Kruz Perot-Hunt and Tyrell Harrison made solid contributions from the pine with eight and 12 points
respectively. After the Giants raced out to an early advantage, the Rangers rallied in the second closing, the margin to ten. However, the pendulum soon swung back and with both Daniel Grida and Vague reaching double figures at half time, the Giants were in the box seat at 52-34. Tom Ingham provided plenty of energy to the side, his three helping Nelson stretch its lead to 20 early in the final fifteen. Ali Granger incited the opposition with his menacing defence before sinking one outside the arc to make it 8255 with five to go. Quaterman capped a dom-
inant performance in a losing side, banking 40 points for the Rangers, nine rebounds and two assists. Meanwhile, the Giants cleared the bench, all 12 players getting some court action as they closed out a resounding win. Jett, who finished with eight points, says the young players all stepped up and made their mark on Saturday night. “I see the hard work paying off so would expect nothing less from them.” Scorers Giants (Vague 19, Grida 13, Harrison 12) Rangers (Qauterman 40, Jois 15)

Tasman rugby league in crisis Jonty Dine
in a statement: “The sides organisers have advised that they don’t believe that this side is sustainable for the balance of the planned competition. “Despite this well-intentioned attempt by a number of people to keep rugby league in the Tasman area alive, due largely to player unavailability and the loss of teams, keeping the competition going has not been possible.” To ensure players from the remaining clubs, the Greymouth Greyhounds and the Phoenix, have an opportunity to continue to play, they have agreed to a threematch series in the coming weeks.
The Tasman Premier Rugby League competition has folded despite plenty of optimism to kick-off the new season. The call was made to cancel the competition after the Stoke Raiders defaulted for a second consecutive week. The league was initially set to be a five-team competition before the Wairua Taniwha was forced to withdraw just prior to its scheduled start. It only got worse as the Stoke Raiders had to forfeit on April 27, and again on Saturday, in their planned fixture against the Victory Phoenix. Tasman Rugby League said
The first of these will be played in Greymouth on the May 11, with the final two to be played in Nelson on the May 25 and June 8. Plans are currently being formulated to provide rugby league for those interested later in the year. Development Officer Dominic Tola will continue to deliver the popular junior coaching programmes in schools and provide competitions at junior and teenage level for keen young players, both male and female. The annual Intermediate Schools tournament and the Simon Mannering Cup will be the culmination for these players.

FC Nelson tops both tables Jonty Dine Reporter
jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz
FC Nelson’s dominant start to the season continued on Saturday with another resounding win at the weekend. Despite trailing 1-0 at half-time, FC netted six second half goals for a comprehensive 6-1 victory over Suburbs at Saxton. Jamane Wilson Duggan and Christian Benitez each bagged a double while Nick Crosswell and Kris Main rounded out the rout. Their female counterparts were also victorious, holding off a stern challenge from the Blenheim Bullets. FC made their mark on the game early on, playing hard and strong, and dominating the first quarter. Their play was ultimately rewarded with the first goal of the game. The visitors came back fighting in the second quarter, which saw them equalise just before half time. At Tahuna, the hosts held off a spirited college side for a 2-0 win

while Richmond also got a win at home, holding off Wakefield 4-2. Meanwhile in the MPL, Nelson Suburbs went down 5-4 to Nomads in a high scoring affair in Christchurch. Cameron Gordon continued his strong season, adding two more goals to his tally with Sam Ayers and Mark Johnson also getting on the score-sheet. In other women’s division one action, Richmond enjoyed emphatic wins over both Golden Bay and Suburbs. The Swans and Foxes netted 11 goals between them and kept their opponents scoreless. The result sees the Foxes go top equal with FC.

Rugby focusses on enjoyment not wins Jonty Dine The days of the abusive side-line parent are becoming a thing of the past as junior sport continues to put emphasis on enjoyment and off winning. The Tasman union’s age-grade rugby saw a 38 percent reduction in red and yellow cards last season, a statistic that is being attributed to several initiatives to improve the game. Thuggery has been phased out on the field and obnoxious behaviour off it, with less tolerance for both being implemented across the grades. Tasman Rugby Union competitions manager Steve Mitchell says the introduction of a code of ethics which outlined expectations of player, coach and supporter behaviour, has contributed to the change. This began with the simple act of repositioning the side-line rope. “We now have a field set up with a technical zone. All reserves, management and coaches must remain in a technical zone which stops them marching up and down the field.” He says this reduces unwanted input from the side-line and reserves.
“The off-ball biff and other bulls*** has stopped, players are more focused.” He says, even when a player goes rogue, their teammates are more likely to pull him into line. Parents are also being told to zip the lip by their own kids. A system started last season saw the fairest team rewarded with a game of paintball. “Some parents get carried away because they think little Jonny is going to be an All Black, but now we have kids telling dad to ‘pull your head in, we want to go paintballing’.” Steve says it has been a process, particularly getting parents on board with the mercy rule which sees coaches forced to change things should they reach a score of 50-0. “Initially, there was some reluctance from competitive coaches and teams, but we are trying to focus on the development of all players.” He says being on the end of a 1000 hiding stops players coming back. “The game is about upskilling player, but people as well. Former All Black prop Wyatt Crockett has been coaching his son’s junior rugby side and

players to change habits, but we are now seeing less and less high shots at that level. Wyatt says, with stricter rules at the top, it filters to the bottom. “The kids will copy what they see their idols do and it sounds like things are working.” Wyatt says, whether its mountain biking, martial arts or rugby, injuries happen, but it’s great that we are making progress towards a safer game. “At the end of the day, we want our game to be one that parents feel comfortable letting their kids play.”

Having played a record 202 times for the Crusaders and earned 71 test caps, Wyatt says he saw first hand, a change in attitude at the top level. “When I first started, if you made a head high tackle early on the most you would get is a penalty, so there was no real deterrent. At the end of career any contact with head would be a yellow minimum so it would affect the team.” Not using fists to solve on-field disputes is another aspect of the game becoming extinct.
