Priced out and ‘exhausted’

The Nelson property market is proving a hard nut to crack for wannabe homeowners, with the average asking price reaching $642,298. Reporter Kate Russell investigates how first-home buyers are faring.

Ned and Rachael Worboys uprooted their life in Wellington close to family and moved to Nelson in January, in hope of being able to buy their first home to raise their two young sons. Nearly one year and 30 house viewings later, they are still searching. “We couldn’t afford to buy in Wel-

lington and Nelson just seemed like the most brilliant idea,” says Rachael, a stay-at-home mum. The young family started looking at houses here before they even moved and “browsed the internet” for listings a year prior to that. They are considering properties in the low to mid 400s all over the

region, with a healthy deposit and their parents as guarantors. “We just keep getting priced out and finding that houses are being sold for $40,000 - $50,000 over the asking price,” says Rachael.

through. “Also, a lot of houses aren’t in very good shape and would need immediate work - but we wouldn’t have any money left over for that.” So far, the only realistic option has been a home with 42 years’ worth of smoke damage.

“I think they should just be limited to one day. Just ask the fire service and the SPCA. It’s time to knock it on the head.”

“I don’t mind them. As long as people follow the rules there is no issue.”

“I don’t think they are good for kids and pets. They also cause lots of air pollution and can cause fires.”

“I don’t think they are that bad here. Back home in England they are worse and can go on for two weeks.”

Priced out and ‘exhausted’ FROM PAGE 1 Rachael says they have been waiting for the typical “spring surge” in listings - which hasn’t seemed to have sprung yet. In fact, the latest figures from realestate.co.nz show the number of new listings in Nelson during October decreased by 0.9 per cent. The family currently pay $410 per week for a two-bedroom rental property in Washington Valley. “There was plenty of interest in our rental, so we feel pretty lucky with what we have,” says Ned, a teacher at Nelson Intermediate School. Tall Poppy Real Estate salesperson Simon Collins says he is seeing many “exhausted” first home buyers. It’s no wonder why.

Supplying Quality Fresh Fish

Three years ago, entry level first homes in Nelson city fringe suburbs were between $300,000 $350,000. The same houses in that same area are now between $450,000 $500,000. “That’s a large increase in value in a short period of time,” he says. “Typically, any reasonably priced homes, especially in the city fringe suburbs, are going to multiple offers. “There is a lot of competition, especially in the lower bracket. There’s a lot of desperation out there.” Simon says, although the number of investors has dwindled, first home buyers are now competing against out-of-town retirees and cashed-up professionals moving to Nelson. “With Kiwisaver, first home buyers are still managing to purchase

some homes up to $500,000, however these buyers tend to have double incomes and no kids. “First home buyers are also stretched financially to meet the servicing of loans - even at record low interest rates.” Property InDepth Nelson valuer Jaimie Barber says Ned and Rachael’s story is a very common one. “What I’ve noticed is that first home buyers can still get property, but they are either smaller houses or the quality is lower. They are buying themselves more work. “Relative to Christchurch, Nelson is less affordable now. We’re not as unaffordable as Auckland, but the gap has been closing over the last 18 months as Nelson’s house price growth has exceeded Auckland’s.”

The Nelson suburb of Britannia Heights also joined the ‘$1 million suburb’ ranks this year. Simon’s advice for first home buyers is to have a builder ready to go to check the house prior to making an offer on a property. He also suggests getting an experienced person to view the council files. “Also, that they have clear instruction from their bank as to the amount they can borrow, and timeframes for lending. This puts them in a stronger position for popular properties.” Meanwhile, Ned and Rachael say they’ll keep searching for their home-sweet-home. “We’re considering flyer dropping, Kiwibuild and building ourselves,” says Rachael. “It’s no longer about where you want to live, it’s about where you can live.”

Alleged stabber charged after Tahuna attack Sara Hollyman A man who allegedly stabbed someone in Tahunanui has appeared in court. Police arrested the man on Friday afternoon after an incident at a property in Green Street. The 28-year-old was apprehended at the Medical and Injury Centre on Waimea

Rd where he was receiving treatment. A 50-year-old man was transported to Nelson Hospital with serious injuries. He has since been discharged. The accused appeared in Nelson District Court on Monday charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. However, his lawyer asked for

the case to be deferred until a mental health assessment was carried out. Defence lawyer Steven Zindel told the court that the accused was likely to seek name suppression. It is believed the parties involved in the incident were known to each other. The accused was remanded in custody until November 26.

Trafalgar St is once again closed to traffic for summer after a successful trial last year. The partial street closure began last week and will run right through summer, until April 30, next year. Businesses in the zone will be extending outdoor dining areas and public seating will be available for everyone to enjoy. Shannyn Hunter and Catherine Griffin made the most of the area on Monday, catching some food and a drink at The Vic. The closure was first trialled last year and deemed to be a success.

Local fireworks man on top of the world Charles Anderson Editor

He might fight fires by day but when night falls Chris Beekmeyer turns the sky into works of art. “I love the logistics, the organisation, the thrill and the danger of it all,” Chris says. “It’s dangerous but you have to be safe.” He has just put that to the test – executing the biggest fireworks

display he has ever been put on, in Hanover, Germany. The International Fireworks Competition, in its 28th year, pitted five teams from around the world against each other, all demonstrating their abilities for crowds of tens of thousands. Chris, who is a local firefighter, was representing Fireworks Professionals in Christchurch, along with Patrick Rietveld. It was the only non-European team in the competition and they came second. Chris says that it was a true team effort from its design by Lachlan Findlay to the final product. The show was a tribute to the founder of Fireworks Professionals, Anthony Lealand, who died earlier this year. It featured 2000 different fireworks cues whereas most of the bigger shows in New Zealand would struggle to have a quarter of that. “It was massive, and we did abso-

No one knows who you are or

what you do, but I love sitting back, knowing the audience have loved it.” Most fireworks shows are done in two dimensions – meaning all the fireworks are set up in a line. The ones at Herrenhausen Gardens, however, were in three dimen-

sions so there were many more options and factors to consider. Chris says the New Zealand team were at a huge disadvantage as they had to source all their own crew and equipment locally rather than other teams who could just drive to the event. “It gives us great bragging rights,” he says. Chris says that the allure of fireworks are in their immediacy. He quotes the philosopher Theodor Adorno. “Fireworks are the most perfect form of arts, since the image withdraws from the viewer at the moment of its highest perfection.” But for Chris, fireworks has always been a hobby. “I just love doing it.” He is also looking into doing a big commercial show for the people of Nelson and is looking for potential backers who might make it happen.

Nelson’s CBD is fighting back against empty shops with a surge of new leases being signed for business premises right across the city. 66 Bridge Street, which used to be Marshalls Fashions, has been leased to chain store Mobilic - a

mobile phone accessory shop which opened last Friday. The former Number One Shoes building in Montgomery Square has also been split into several small premises, with one already being leased to an Asian food store. F54 gym and Coffee 101 is set to open at 101 Bridge St, and part of the former ANZ building on the corner of Trafalgar and Hardy Sts

has also been leased. Barkers clothing store has also moved to an empty high-profile Trafalgar St site and Hunter Furniture has taken over an empty space at 29 Vanguard St. Bayleys Nelson commercial property specialist Gill Ireland says things are looking up for the CBD. “There is quite a bit of outside interest and a few large companies

from Auckland and Christchurch are looking at space here. Nelson is more on their radar now. “Things have been ticking away for a while and now it’s gaining momentum.” Colliers Nelson sales and leasing broker, Ken Montgomery, agrees. “Things are definitely picking up. People also need to remember that some vacancy is normal,” he says.

Nelson mayor Rachel Reese says it’s encouraging to see business owners investing and committing to our city centre. “The changes we have been seeing over the last few months are a natural part of the property cycle. We are also seeing businesses adapt and this can mean moving their location to make the most of different trends, and this is encouraging.”

Cannabis found in child's room during police search Sara Hollyman A man has been convicted of cultivating cannabis after more than a kilogram of dried cannabis was found around the home he lives in, including in his child’s bedroom. Police executed a search warrant at the man’s residence on October 15 and discovered more than a kilogram of dried cannabis around the house including in the kitchen and laundry, with most of it being recovered from his bedroom. Police also found a jar containing dried cannabis heads on a dressing table in a child's bedroom. Judge David Ruth convicted the man in the Nelson District Court on Monday, and continued his interim name suppression. He was remanded on bail for sentencing until January 10.

WW1 memories brought to life Sara Hollyman Reporter

sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Nelson came alive with the memory of those who fought in the First World War on Sunday as 100 years of the Armistice was commemorated. Hundreds gathered at the top of Trafalgar St to see a performance of “Armistice at Compiegne” by the group Histrionics. The show brought artillery, infantry and a train carriage into central Nelson to depict the signing of the agreement in the French forest where the event took place. In Anzac Park, local war heroes who were once left off plaques commemorating the war, were honoured with a new memorial. The rededication of the Cenotaph came after extensive research revealed the names of the 80 men who were previously not known to have come from the region or whose names had been confused with others. RSA president Barry Pont welcomed the crowd of hundreds to the centenary of the signing of the Armistice that ended the hostilities on the Western Front of the First World War.

Actors from the group Histrionics perform Armistice at Compiegne at the top of Trafalgar St. Photo: Sara Hollyman. “At the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month, the guns fell silent.” Former Nelson Provincial Museum director Peter Millward told the crowd how some 3678 men and woman from the region were in active service during the Great War. “At the time the province had a population of 43,000 people, so some quick maths tells us that one in three ablebodied residents probably saw service.” He says the extensive re-

search has seen more than 700 names from the Nelson region added to Auckland’s online Cenotaph. “Other memorials are about service, but the Cenotaph, that’s about sacrifice. He says, to be technically included on Anzac Park’s Cenotaph, you had to be a resident at the time of enlistment. “There were brothers who were both born and educated in Nelson, but one sibling may have married or enlisted elsewhere, who have been

separated now for so long. “It strikes me as being sadly ironic that families that have a long history in our town and who have done so much for the region, do not have the right to have their loved ones named on this Cenotaph.” He says Sunday’s unveiling is about reuniting those families. “Six pairs of brothers have now been reunited on this memorial, their names are now recorded where they deserve to be.”

Refinery gets hot pink makeover Charles Anderson Editor

charles@nelsonweekly.co.nz

If you have driven along Halifax St recently you might have noticed something a little different about the Refinery Artspace building. The contemporary community arts centre has just received a hot pink, red and black makeover in the spirit of its bold mission. “We were thinking ‘what can we do here?’,” says Arts Council chair Barbara Franklet. “The facade was our canvas.” The council started planning earlier this year, with Jo Cacheimaille and Lee Woodman researching designs to give the facade of the councilowned building a fresh look.

They came back inspired by the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney and came up with a brand-new colour scheme. “It’s bold, but it’s so smart looking,” says Barbara. The Refinery Artspace is administered by Arts Council Nelson which uses it to create community art projects. It is open for artists to exhibit in, is the major venue for the Nelson Fringe Festival and rents out six studio spaces to local artists. Nelson City Council funded the refresh but it had to pass muster with the Heritage Group, due to its proximity to Anzac Park. “But it looks so great through the park and goes really well with the green and colours of the gardens.”

Barbara says many people would often tell her that they could not find the Refinery Artspace. “It is easy to miss. So that’s our sentiment here – creating something contemporary and fresh that speaks to what’s going on inside.” Now she hopes that the refresh will help it become a tourist destination. “We want to get it on the map and say there are a lot of cool things going on inside. Everyone who I have spoken to has been nothing but positive, so that is great.” And Barbara says there is still more changes to come for the building. “We run on a shoestring budget, so everything is small but will make a big difference.”

Just list your rental property with Summit now and get our free ‘property prep’ package, packed with useful information, discount vouchers and a $200 home and garden voucher. Terms and conditions apply, visit propertyprep.summit.co.nz for more information.

It’s important for us to know when new PV systems are planned for connection to the network because we need to make sure the equipment meets required technical standards and is set correctly to maintain a good level of power quality for everyone using the network. We also need to know where PV systems are so we can keep line workers safe when they undertake network maintenance. Our process to help guide you through getting a PV system connected to the network is as follows: Stage 1: Before you purchase a system, check our website to understand how the application process works and what sort of things you need to think about, such as whether you want to connect to the network, whether the system meets the required technical standards, and the size of the system. Stage 2: If you decide you want to connect the system to the network, fill in a pre-purchase application form. This form is on our website at www.networktasman.co.nz/solar. We use the information provided on this form to check that the part of the network you want to connect to has the capacity to handle the power from your system and to make sure it meets the required technical standards. We will also pass your details on to your energy retailer so that they can change your electricity meter so it can handle the exporting of surplus PV power to the network. Stage 3: Once your system is installed and before it is connected to the network, we need a final sign-off from an electrical inspector to say it’s safe and that it meets the required standards. Once we confirm that everything is in order, we will let you know that it’s safe to connect it to the network. Your installer or electrician will help with arranging these things. If you are thinking about investing in a PV system and you want to connect it to the network, check out our website at www.networktasman.co.nz/solar, give us a call on 0800 508 098, or email us at info@networktasman.co.nz.

Road works along Vanguard Street are aimed at solving Victory School’s sewage problems. Photo: Charles Anderson.

Victory School’s sewage woes resolved Kate Russell Victory Primary School’s playground sewage problems have been addressed. Paul Shattock, communications manager at Nelson City Council says they have upgraded the sewer line in Vanguard St. “The new pipe will help address ongoing issues with sewage overflows during heavy rain, which have affected the play area at Victory Primary School and some other surrounding properties.” As reported by the Nelson Weekly in August, the school

has been plagued by overflowing sewage during heavy rain for the past three years, meaning its playground must be closed and treated before children can play on it again. The sewerage also overflowed from the school toilet block and polluted neighbouring properties. The situation had got so bad that Nelson MP Nick Smith called the council to sort the matter out. Paul says that once the new pipe is ready, the affected properties can be disconnected from the main sewer in Vanguard St and connected to the new pipe, which is ex-

pected to help alleviate the overflow issues. Paul says it is possible that other work will need to be undertaken on private properties to fully resolve the issues, which will be the responsibility of landowners. During the project, it was also noted that some road repairs were needed around the work site, so these are being done now to avoid having the revisit the site in the future. The project is expected to be finished by the end of November at a cost of $320,000, subject to weather or any unexpected delays.

Fireworks ruffle feathers Locally Owned and Operated

Jonty Dine

A Nelson woman’s chickens are so traumatised by the recent spate of fireworks that they have stopped laying eggs. Renee Lang says since the launch of fireworks season, her six chickens, which are usually “egg machines,” have laid just one egg in the past four days. “Fireworks have contributed to that because any animal that undergoes any sort of shock like that will have its systems upset.” Renee says the fireworks rain over her Hampden St property from the beginning of November until New Year’s Eve. “They have gone off every night since, and I especially notice them after 10pm. It’s a very tough time for animals and my flock of chickens have reacted badly to these huge bangs.” Renee says she has seen a nasty side to society when debating fireworks online. “The ones who are for it are defensive to the point of being hostile as in ‘who cares if your horse runs into a fence and breaks its leg,” or ‘who cares if your dog runs away and doesn’t come back,’ that kind of attitude makes me really uncomfortable.” She says while she would love to see a total ban, she realises it is not realistic. “I think a total ban on public sales would be a good start so if people want to go to the speedway

We, however, don’t buy any and prefer to go to the speedway for a public display. Mel Ricketts I think it was fine this year! Even when people let them off after the 5th it seemed to be before 10pm.

Why should a large number of people and animals experience distress just because some people want to set fire to coloured, flammable things? Even the people who do use them responsibly cause distress to others. Why should one group of people be allowed to perform a totally unnecessary ritual that is so distressing to other members of their society? It's seriously backward, thoughtless, selfish and infantile. Etana Emissary We had an amazing Guy Fawkes weekend. All the animals were fine. I really have enjoyed all the fireworks I’ve been able to see going all week. Fantastic, beautiful fun time of year. Sara van Zyl

Nelson Matters The wave of strike action this year is doing Nelson and New Zealand no good. It has disrupted exports from our port, patients getting operations and children getting an education. The latest notice of industrial action from midwives for later this month adds unnecessary stress for expectant mothers. The strikes this week hit Nelson’s 55 schools when 340 primary teachers walk off the job on Thursday. It is part of a nationwide rolling stoppage organised by the NZEI and is the second strike in schools following action in August. It means our 6,200 children lose another day of education and chaos for

working parents as they scramble to find care and supervision. This disruption in our schools brings the national total of workers who have walked off the job this year to over 30,000 in over 2,000 workplaces. That’s more in the last year than in the last 20 years combined. It is nurses, wharfies, midwives, teacher’s assistants, bus drivers and teachers as well as thousands of public servants working for ACC, IRD, Ministry of Justice and MBIE. 90% of the strikes are government employees or government funded services. The government even had the printing of its first budget disrupted by strikes.

The root cause of these strikes is Labour’s extravagant promises when they were in Opposition. Its policy stated that workers were being underpaid by $23 billion a year. They said workers deserved a 20% pay increase. Workers feel duped and understandably are angry with Labour now in Government saying they can only afford 3%. This is not credible when they are also boasting recent surpluses of $5.5 billion. The pay problem is also being compounded by the rising cost of living. Inflation is at the highest level in a decade with basic costs like fuel, rent and insurance skyrocketing. Labour has

put the tax on petrol up three times and are proposing another three increases. The extra costs the Government is imposing on the insurance and housing sectors is flowing on to consumers. The risk under Labour’s economic policy is a return to the wage/price spiral of the past. Wages increased by 5% in the last year of the Clark Labour Government, but the inflation rate was also 5%, meaning no real improvement in incomes. National enabled households to get ahead by keeping inflation down to an average 1% per year over our nine years in government. All income groups under National gained with the

Really. I find lawnmowers, neighbours partying and the loud music and the planes flying overhead more of a noise issue. Not to mention cars and motorbikes screeching down our road. Should we ban them too? It comes down to respect. I think our neighbours were very respectful and they advised us they were letting fireworks off, it was all before 10pm. We enjoyed watching the skyrockets and they were great quality. But it would be good if it was just one night and didn’t last for a week. Jo Wilson

average household gaining 15% or $14,000 better off over and above inflation. Strikes are disruptive and make us all poorer. The best way out of this mess is for Labour to be straight with the unions and workers. They need to apologise for the extravagant policy promises that they now cannot meet. They need to acknowledge the significant increases they are imposing on the costs of living. We need fair settlements that are affordable, end the disruption and which enable working families to get ahead. Advert.

Student sets sights on China Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

A whirlwind school trip to China has inspired one bright young Nelson student to reach for her goals. Victoria Cockerell, 16, was one of 13 Nayland College Chinese language and business students to embark on the 12-day journey last month. She has studied Chinese at the college for the past three years and says she has always had an interest in the language. Now she is keen to go back there on a school exchange next year. “My mum, who is from the Philippines, used to speak Mandarin and Cantonese when she worked in Hong Kong, so she has told me lots of stories about living there, which has inspired me.” Victoria says, although she “can hold a basic conversation” with her three classmates, it was nice to be able to put it in practice during the long-awaited and much fundraised trip. “I’ve been to Hong Kong once when I was four, but this was my first time going to mainland China. We stopped at Hong Kong Disneyland and then went

Truckloads of fun at Stoke School fundraiser

Jonty Dine It was a trucker’s paradise in Richmond at the annual Stoke School Truck and Market Show on Saturday. Families flooded the A&P Showgrounds to get a glimpse of an 80-strong fleet of trucks ranging from waste disposal to war vehicles. Stoke PTA member Melanie Edwards says they were on target to significantly exceed 2017 attendance. “Last year we had 1400 and we passed that number.” The sixth annual Stoke Truck Show also featured the greatest number of trucks on display in its short history. “We had just over 80 trucks, including some modern to classics.” Stoke students entertained the crowds with performances from the choir, kapa haka and orchestra. “They were fierce and fabulous.” Melanie says the event is always a highlight on the Stoke School calendar. “When it was brought up in assembly all the kids started cheering.” She says it is a fantastic opportunity for kids to get up close with trucks. “We have really made this event our own.” Kate Bennett was painting faces to raise money to fight child cancer. Kate will take on the Tongariro Crossing next month to raise further funds for the cause. She says tigers were the most requested animal for her to paint. This year’s fundraiser also included a market stall section for the first time where there were crafts, produce, food and vintage toy cars and trucks.

Post-retirement ‘university’ booming in Nelson Kate Russell

Imagine if there was a local university for retirees with no passing or failing, no graduation, no teachers, no course fees and no required qualifications to join? Welcome to the Nelson University of the Third Age - commonly known as the U3A. The U3A is for those over the age of 50. It has been active in Nelson for 27 years but it’s still unknown to many, according to president Paul Lunberg, a retired secondary school teacher. In Nelson there are 260 members participating in about 50 different groups, ranging from the arts, natural sciences, history, the humanities and personal development. Architecture, critical reading, finance and investment, aspects of world history, musical renditions, successful gardening, TED talks and astronomy are just some of the courses on offer.

Nelson U3A president Paul Lunberg reckons you’re never too old to learn. Photo: Kate Russell. “There is something for everyone,” says Paul, who first signed up to U3A ten years ago. The small groups are led by ex-

perts in different fields from the comfort of their own homes and usually involve plenty of banter, as well as plenty of cups of tea.

“Amongst our population there are experts in so many fields and they are often keen to share their knowledge with others. Some-

times there are no experts, just an interested group that gets together to research a subject,” Paul says. “We are lucky in Nelson to have so many retired people with skills and interest in continued education.” U3A started in France in 1973 and has spread to over thirty countries with several million members. It costs just $30 to join, which is a bargain, according to Paul. “Retired folk don’t think they know it all - they want to learn. For example, I’ve had a real buzz learning about opera. Just because you are retired, doesn’t mean you have to stop learning.” Paul says it’s easy to join through their website www.u3anelson. org.nz and new members are always welcome. “We’re very open. We want likeminded people to know there is an affordable way of learning in Nelson.”

College gets seal of approval A curious seal decided to make camp at Garin College last week. Photo: Supplied.

A stray seal paid a visit to a Nelson school last week. Students of Garin College were surprised to see the juvenile critter basking outside classrooms on Thursday morning.

Students sealed off the area so the pup could enjoy a snooze in the sun before being returned to the ocean. The school says the "precious wee visitor" decided to make

Garin College its home over night. "We sealed off the area until the DOC ranger collected him/ her this morning to transport it safely back to the water."

Rainey family joined in song Charles Anderson One hundred and ninety-six years of Raineys will perform the work of a 268-year-old composer on the stage of the Nelson School of Music this Sunday. Pete, who has been conducting the choir for the past year, was on the look out for some extra male members. “So, I asked the bros. But it’s been a bit of a double-edged sword. No, actually it’s been great.” Pete’s 13-year-old son Charle is also part of the choir and brings the collective experience of the family to 196 years. “But Charle doesn’t add much to that,” joked Jo. It’s the first time that the brothers have been on stage together in many years. The last time Bill was conducted by Pete was when the Nelson Male Voice Choir went to Wales with their father in 2000.

panied by a chamber orchestra with local soloists Angela Wratt, Zoe Bennett and Jane Quinton, Erica Sim, Ewen Griffiths, and Graham O'Brien all taking part. Pete says, if anything, the involvement of his brothers shows that more men need to stand up and be part of local choirs. “We need them to get involved. It’s a great experience and there are lots of opportunities.” Charle says he enjoys singing with this family – a far cry from the terror that all the Raineys say they once felt as young children walking out on the auditorium stage. Jo says it’s not often that you get choirs singing Bach, but it’s very approachable. Bach Magnificat by the Chroma Chamber Choir is in the Nelson School of Music Auditorium, at 2pm on Sunday 18 November. Tickets are $27 plus booking fee from NCMA or ticketdirect.co.nz

Raising funds for a great cause

The Rotary Nelson Motorhome Show annually attracts over 2000 people to the two day event at the Tahuna Beach Holiday Park. People can expect to see fantastic exhibitions of motorhomes and caravans, and a great variety of stalls. The event helps raise thousands of dollars for community projects and local charities.

“This year we are supporting the Neonatal Care Unit at Nelson Hospital,” says Jan. “We’ve also got funding going to St John and the Lake Rotoiti Lodge refurbishment programme, for which Rotary is also devoting labour.” By combining their skills and resources, members of Rotary are able to make a real contribution to the lives of others, and locally the Nelson Rotary Club has raised tens of thousands of dollars for community projects and local charities. “I joined Rotary wanting to be able to do something for the community, but I didn’t have the time or resources to give as much as I wanted to,” says Jan. “So I joined the Rotary Club knowing that collectively our labour and funding would be able to help the community, whether it’s a worldwide or local effort. Rotary is heavily involved in eradicating polio, and they also work in conjunction with the Bill Gates Foundation. We do things like go out to the Islands to repair damage to schooling. Nelson Rotary Club is an opportunity to be able to give back to the community.” Jan says Tahuna Beach Holiday Park’s support for the Nelson Rotary Motorhome Show each year is greatly appreciated, together the other main sponsors: Heslops, VTNZ, Apollo, More FM, MTF Vehicle Finance, RV Super Centre, Winnebago, Nelson Rotary Club, and Deluxe RV Group.

Fabulous show, fantastic location

A growing event and a growing community “We mostly see people attending the Rotary Nelson Motorhome Show from Christchurch, Blenheim, Nelson, and the West Coast, but it’s a growing event which is broadening its appeal. Equally, owning a motorhome or caravan is gaining momentum; it’s a growing community which is supported by MZMCA. Over 80,000 motor caravanning New Zealanders are members, and national membership has an average growth rate of 10 percent. Member benefits include things like dis-

Some exciting news for women – Fuchsia Beauty Therapy, a home-based beauty salon in central Stoke has just been relaunched by its owner Sheralyn Cowan, with fabulous pre-Christmas specials available right now! Fuchsia Beauty Therapy offers a wide range of beauty services including waxing, pedicures, manicures, organic facials and spray tanning. “We moved to Stoke 6 months ago with our young family; I’ve been quiet for a couple of years, but now that our youngest is 15 months old it felt like the right time to relaunch the business and reintroduce myself, so we’ve revamped the salon; it’s fresh, modern and inviting – a lot like a day spa, but in a more intimate, private setting.” Prior to opening the business 7 years ago, Sheralyn’s passion led to her qualification as a beauty therapist through NMIT in 2011. “I’ve always been a ‘girlie-girl,’ and I’ve always had a desire to have my own beauty business. It’s wonderful to have some of the same, regular customers that have been with me since the beginning.” At Fuchsia, Sheralyn specialises in waxing but offers a full range of beauty services.

DONATION: Ayla-Rose Wagner will be able to enjoy the beach this summer thanks to the generosity of a local real estate agency. The 8-year-old has Rett syndrome which leaves her unable to walk, talk, and leaves her prone to has seizures. Her family reached out to the public to raise funds for an all-terrain wheelchair, so Ayla can go to the beach. The ‘Hippocampe’ can cross the sand, get over any obstacles and even floats meaning Ayla can swim. When Ray White Nelson heard about the cause, they did not hesitate to help. Agent Grant Chaney says they decided that for every house the agency sold last month, $100 would be donated towards Ayla’s new chair. After 22 houses, Ayla reached her target. Ray White’s Alex Geraghty presents a cheque to Chris, Amy, Jess, Travis and Ayla Rose Wagner along with Ray White principal Brent Stern. Photo: Jonty Dine

Theatre trio reach for the stars Charles Anderson

Three young Nelsonians will be singing and dancing all the way to the United States after getting the call up to represent New Zealand in a global musical theatre extravaganza. Sophie McCarlie, 16, Tiana Simpson, 12 and Matthew Edgar, 14 all auditioned in Auckland two weeks ago and last week

found out that they had made the grade to join 40 other young New Zealanders on the trip of a lifetime. In New York they will be exposed to performance workshops, meet Broadway stars, see Broadway shows and attend a week-long rehearsal intensive. There they will learn the choreography and music to a Broadway JR title which will then be presented

in Atlanta at the Junior Theatre Festival where there will be more than 6000 other musical theatre lovers. Then on the way home, the “Kiwi All-Stars” will get a VIP back-lot tour of Universal Studios and visit Disneyland, where they will participate in the Disney performing arts program. Tiana says that it’s a “once in a lifetime opportunity”.

They all hope to continue their performing careers and say the programme is a great way to get experience and exposure. “Someone could be watching in the audience and say: ‘I want you in my next Broadway show’,” says Sophie. The trio will travel during the 2020 January school holidays but until then they have their work cut out for them, having to raise

the almost $10,000 to go on the trip. “It will be a lot of saving and working,” says Matthew. They also have plans for sausage sizzles and a fundraising concert. They wanted to thank Nelson Youth Theatre for all the support in getting them to the auditions in the first place. “They have been amazing,” says Sophie.

Raising awareness of teen drinking Amy Russ The health community are partnering with parents and caregivers to help educate them on how to responsibly manage alcohol in their teenagers’ lives. As part of their ‘The PLAN’ campaign, Health Action Trust and the Public Health Service invited the parents to attend a free presentation called ‘Keeping teens safe around alcohol’. The event, which was aimed at parents of teens aged 12 – 17-years-old, was to help educate people with tools, tips and interactive resources on how to responsibly manage teen drinking. Health Action Trust’s Rosey

Duncan says teen drinking is a real issue and it is important to raise awareness of the topic. “The earlier teens start drinking the more likely it is that their drinking will become problematic in the future. The more likely it is they will go on to drink harmfully in their teens and adult life. Alcohol is a drug and it is readily available. “Alcohol use is widespread in New Zealand. At the same time all parents want their children to be safe.” Rosey has been working with project partners and health promoters Hilary Genet and Carol McIntosh of Nelson Marlborough Health and says

they had assistance along the way with the evolution of the project. This included help from parents in developing and trialling their range of interactive resources designed to support parents to make a family plan around alcohol. “We talk with local parents about their concerns and what would help them support their teens,” says Rosey. “The resources include our webpage, legal information, Facebook posts planned for the summer and fridge magnets.” For more information on The PLAN head to www.nmdhb. govt.nz/campaigns/the-plandelay-teen-drinking

Nelson bowler's unwanted record SportS Jonty Dine

Willie Ludick's Stag's teammates say he will bounce back from his horror show against the Knights this week Photo: Barry Whitnall/Shuttersport NZ.

Nelson’s Willie Ludick is the official holder of the most unwanted world record in cricket. Willie conceded 43 runs in his final over of the Stags Ford trophy clash with the Knights in Hamilton yesterday, the most in any first-class match in history. Knights batsmen Joe Carter and Brett Hampton took the youngster to the cleaners, Willie’s nightmare eight deliveries going for 4, 6+nb, 6+nb, 6, 1, 6, 6, 6. The ACOB all-rounder finished with figures of 85/1 off his ten as the Knights posted 313. Teammate and fellow South African expat Dean Foxtcroft, who played junior cricket with Willie, says the 21-year-old “bowled awesome the whole innings and was unlucky in that last over”. Dean, who scored an unbeaten 120 during the Stag’s unsuccessful chase of 314, says dropping both Joe and Brett early on put the bowlers under

pressure. “If we took them, we would have easily won the game and that wouldn’t have happened.” Prior to the fateful over, Willie had respectable figures of 1/42 from nine. Dean says the Stags will back Willie to recover from the record run fest. “We all support him, he is an aggressive bowler, he likes to be in your face and likes to take wickets, but it didn’t go his way on Wednesday.” Dean says Willie is a “strong guy” and he will bounce back. “Maybe he will take five wickets next game.” The news will be welcomed by Bangladesh bowler Alauddin Babu who was the previous record holder having gone for 39 in an over against Zimbabwe in 2013. Waimea batsman Greg Hay got the Stags off to a solid start with a knock of 46 but the Stags fell 25 runs short and remain bottom of the domestic one-day table.

FOOTBALL: Tasman United’s horror run in the ASB Premiership continued on Sunday, going down 3-0 to Waitakere United in Auckland. After sixty minutes of stalemate, Waitakere netted two quick goals to sink the visitors. A third late in the game saw Tasman suffer its fourth loss of the season sending them to ninth on the points table. The side returns home this Sunday where it takes on the Wellington Phoenix reserves in a bottom of the table clash. Kick off at Trafalgar is at 2pm. JUDO: Nelson College student Caleb Dodunski earned a silver medal at the National Judo Championships in Christchurch last week. Caleb finished second in the U55kg division. NETBALL: Keri Snodgrass from Garin College has been named in the Te Waipounamu (South Island) Maori U17 Netball Squad.

Nelson College, Dolphins remain unbeaten Peter Grigg and Peter Jones

Nelson College and the Dolphins had similar comfortable victories in Nelson on Saturday to maintain their unblemished records in the Tasman Premier League. In a result that would not have been predicted by the cognoscenti, Nelson College comfortably chased down a meagre total at Ngawhatu. College skipper Fergus Hughes won the toss and opted to bowl first on a green track. This appeared to have backfired when WTTU raced out to 52 without loss after just five overs. Tom Ingham bludgeoned the schoolboy attack and with the solid support of Joe O’Connor the visitors appeared to be heading towards a significant total. However, lanky opening bowler Jarrod McKay had other ideas. He removed both openers and, in fact, took the first four wickets to fall. Jarrod also came back to clean up the tail to finish with an outstanding six wicket haul. Jack Aldridge was the only other batsman to offer any real resistance. Based on College’s batting display of previous rounds, the 121-run total may have been niggly. As it transpired, a gritty knock from flamboyant opener Damian Aitken put paid to any aspirations WTTU may have had. Although Sam Baxendine picked

up an early wicket and came back to claim two more, the chase reached its inevitable conclusion in the 38th over. A wet outfield resulted in a delayed start and a reduction to a 34-over encounter at the Botanics between the Dolphins and Athletic College Old Boys. The Dolphins did not need that many overs to chase down the sub-par total posted by ACOB. The Blenheim visitors took wickets steadily as Ben Blackman begun the demise and then Jerrym Lamb and Josh Poole continued to make things difficult for ACOB. No batsman was really able to dominate on the sticky surface with only a pugnacious Josh Simpson able to assert any semblance of creditability. While BJ Barnett smashed sixes off consecutive deliveries, he was not able to push on. The 100-run total was always going to be difficult to defend. Prabodha Arthadivu took the Dolphins to within touch of their chase as he displayed some imperious drives in a classy innings. Lamb produced a tidy all round performance as his controlled innings took the visitors home in just the seventeenth over to complete a comprehensive victory. Meanwhile, in Marlborough, the Falcons got their Tasman Premier League cricket title challenge back on track with a four-wicket win over Stoke Nayland at Hor-

However, this brought pinch-hitter Tarin Mason to the crease and the left-hander wasted no time in taking the attack to the men in red. His unbeaten 21 off 10 balls ensured there would be tight finish, with Stretch also not out on a well-judged 26 from 38 deliveries. Carr, with 4-15 off seven, was the pick of the visiting attack while left-armer Ben Stark, opener Ili Tugaga and Dylan Eginton bowled economically and kept the pressure on through the middle stages.

In a match abbreviated to 35-overs, the home side bowled Stoke Nayland out for 104 and then eased its way to the target for the loss of six wickets in the 32nd over. The visitors got off to a good start with the bat, thanks to opener Kurt Pahl who top scored with a patient 34 before being third out with the total at 62. From there the innings folded, some rash shot-making coupled with accurate spin bowling from Alex Kennedy and Matthew Stretch, both of whom claimed 3-14 off seven, ensuring Stoke Nayland were unable to forge any partnerships of note. Openers Kennedy and Ben IvoryMcCullum patiently saw the Fal-

cons reply through to 27 before Kennedy departed. The dismissal of experienced batsman Andrew McCaa and Aidan Lavender in quick succession at the same score sent a few shudders through the home side’s dressing room, but Daniel Allen and Ivory-McCullum steadied the ship. When they both fell with the total at 36 the result was in the balance, but the arrival of Harrison Boyce to join skipper Stretch at the wicket turned the tide. They put their heads down to blunt the Stoke attack, picking up well-judged singles and the occasional boundary to take the score through to 71 before Boyce departed with his side still needing 34 from six overs.

Masters wind the clock back Locally Owned and Operated

Squash veterans defied their age to produce a quality display during the annual Sprig and Fern Club Master's Tournament at the weekend. The weekend was open to club players aged 35 and over with the oldest players aged in their early 60s. While wild weather wreaked havoc on the weekend, with a number of players having to pull out due to flight cancellations, 46 players from as far north as Orewa and as far south as Dunedin took part. The Waimea pair of Richard Stephenson and Christine Palmer won the open divisions across the two days of play. Nelson Squash Club treasurer Andrea Blakeley says the weekend was a very social affair. “Players don’t want to spoil the atmosphere, so it is all played in great spirits.” Andrea says despite a number of players pulling out, the competition was still able to go ahead. “The weather has made a mess out of the event, it has been a struggle to keep everyone happy as it’s always disappointing when you turn up to a competition and have no opponent, but we have made it work.” She says while numbers were down on last year’s event, the tournament was still a success.

Christine Palmer lunges for the ball during her match against Keren Barcas. Photo: Barry Whitnall/Shuttersport. “Last year we had double the amount, the weather really had quite some impact, but Nelson put the weather on for us now and everyone has had a lot of fun.” Some players showed tremendous dedication to make it to the Master’s such as Tawa’s Rex Mar. “He sent us a message saying 'I have to pull out my flight is cancelled', ten minutes later he text saying 'hold on I might catch a ferry', then an hour later he text saying on the ferry 'now can you postpone my match?'” Rex arrived at 9pm to comfortably win his game. Not even the sudden death of a teammate just prior to the event could stop a Hamilton team from fronting. “They decided that if

she would have been upset had they not gone and so they dedicated it to her.” Though the bodies may have slowed somewhat, Andrea says the skills shown by some of the older statesmen were very impressive. “Some of them are much faster than you would imagine, they have years of experience behind them and are very strategic.” Andrea says it is an exciting time for the club as a quartet of squash superstars are set to showcase their skills in Nelson next month.

Paul’s partner Nellie will also compete against Marlborough’s Megan Craig in her return to the court. “Megan is a happy young mum and just coming back to squash, so she is very excited.” Andrea says tickets are selling fast and are available at Nelsonsquash.co.nz She says the Coll coup would not have been possible without the support of Nelson businesses. “We are very proud off the region and all the hard work the club has done.”

Stoke, Mot High win 7s titles Jonty Dine

unable to field a side in Renwick last weekend. "Unfortunately, we couldn’t put a team together, so we just win the Mot Sevens, but the boys are really happy with the win today.” He says strong defence ultimately earned the crown. "Everyone remained level-headed and worked hard for each other.” Stoke sneaked its way into the final after a dramatic semi-final against Kahurangi. With minutes remaining Kahurangi looked set to seal the win, before a desperate tackle from behind and turnover from Stoke. The Eagles then went 100 metres, with Sam running a beautiful line to score under the bar and take the win 14-10.

teams had more, it’s a good feeling.” Jess ran the backline superbly while speedsters Olivia Bird and Amanda Fitisemanu threatened throughout. “We worked really well as a team with having support in break downs and connecting with our moves.” After failing to enter a side in the first leg of the tournament, Stoke stormed the circuit on Saturday to add the Motueka crown to the Nelson Division one title it won earlier in the year. Stoke star Sam Chamberlain says it was a tough day of sevens footy. "The boys are really happy, it has been a bloody enjoyable day. It was a really tough competition and we are very happy to get across the line.” Sam says there were a number of strong sides on show and any one of them could have claimed the spoils. Stoke drew first blood in the final but soon found itself repelling a relentless Waimea onslaught. "We got away to a quick start, knew going to come back and they did, it was a tight final.” Sam says his side had been training hard for the past month in preparation for the tournament but were

Motueka High’s dominance of Tasman rugby continued at the weekend as the school swept the womens sevens circuit with consecutive tournament victories. The final leg of the Tasman Sevens played in Motueka on Saturday saw the hosts win the women's title while Stoke claimed the men’s title. Stoke’s scintillating attack and dogged defence saw them pip Tasman champions Waimea Old Boys 24-14 in the final while a classy Motueka High repeated the score line in its final against the same opposition. With Renwick champions Marist failing to fire in Motueka, Waimea Old Boys claim the overall Tasman Championship while Motueka went unbeaten both weekends to add the Tasman Women Sevens trophy to its cabinet. Motueka skipper Jess Drummond says to go undefeated in both tournaments was a “bloody good effort.” “For a team of nine players and only having two subs, whereas other

Bowlers claim Stoke Stakes Jonty Dine

A pair of South Island bowlers are now $20,000 richer after claiming the Stoke Stakes at the weekend. The three-day tournament saw some of the best bowlers in Australasia battle it out for the $20,000 prize pool, the biggest purse in New Zealand competitive bowls. Maurice Symes of Blenheim and Warren Brown from Kaikoura required an extra end to do it, but edged Jordan Taylor and Shane Pascoe 21-20 in a pulsating final to be crowned champions.

To celebrate Nelson Bays Volleyball’s 50th Jubilee, pro volleyballers Sam O’Dea and Shaunna Polley were here to spend time with the club and run a skills session on Sunday. Nelson Bays Volleyball operations manager Pam Brodie asked the pair to come to Nelson as guest speakers for the Jubilee celebrations on Saturday. She says, to have them give a skills session to younger students as well is “absolutely amazing” and that it’s been a great experience to have Sam

and Shaunna in the region. “We’re very lucky. We just don’t get star volleyballers in Nelson because of the cost of travel, so to have these two come down just makes it a very special occasion.” Sam and Shaunna were both strong contenders at the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games with Sam coming away with a bronze medal in the beach volleyball men’s section. More than 40 young Nelson volleyballers seized the opportunity to be shown tips and tricks from the two standout athletes at the newly-complet-

ed Tahunanui Beach volleyball courts. Sam and Shaunna both say they were “really happy” to be here and understand the importance of younger athletes having role models to look up to. “Our goal is to cover a lot of different techniques, it’s the start of summer so we want the students to just get down here as much as they can,” says Sam. “We’re both from the North Island, the Bay of Plenty is kind of the hub of NZ, so it’s great to get down here and see beach volleyball in the South Island, and at a really good level.”

Jonty Dine The Nelson tennis season hit full swing as juniors across the region battled it out at the interschool tournament last week. A record numbers of primary (71) and intermediate (48) students from across the region took part in the annual event and Nelson Bays Tennis Association regional coordinator Ali McQuillan says there was plenty of quality tennis on display. “The standard of play and behaviour on and off court was amazing, players enjoying all levels of competition with enthusiasm and in the spirit of sportsmanship.” Winners of the interschool tournaments will go on to represent the Nelson region at the South Island Championships in Timaru at the end of November. St Joseph’s student Lucy Mitchell took out the primary girl’s competition with Nayland’s Connor Edmonds claiming the boy’s title. In the intermediate tournament, Broadgreen’s Ashley Welsh was victorious while Mapua superstar Harry Pugh unsurprisingly dominated his division. The players' attention then

shifted to reclaiming the Malcolm Shield off neighbours Marlborough on Sunday with eight of the region’s top players travelling over to Blenheim. Ali says the boy’s team faced tough competition from Marlborough, conceding all but one match in the singles; Harry Pugh winning in straight sets 6/2, 6/4 against Lucca Wiseman. “Nelson girls came through strongly in their singles reversing the boys result; Rani McGuire (captain) displaying mental tenacity when it mattered, winning all three of her matches.”

Going into the final mixed doubles leg of the fixture, Nelson needed to win the majority of the matches to snatch the shield. However, only winning two out of the four closed the fixture at 9/7 to Marlborough to keep the shield over the hill. “Close matches and challenging competition for our youngsters made for a great day of tennis,” Ali says. A consolation for Nelson saw Rani McGuire and Harry Pugh selected to represent Canterbury in January’19 in the Nations Teams event.

After a dozen appearances and more than 300 days without a goal, Jeremy Brockie has broken his drought. The 31-year-old All Whites striker got himself on the scoresheet for Mamelodi Sundowns during its 3-1 win over Free State Stars last week. The goal was Jeremy’s first for the Sundowns after signing a muilti-milliondollar deal with the South African club in January. Jeremy says it had been a long wait. “After hitting the back of the net consistently since I’ve been in South Africa, I have to admit it’s been difficult times mentally.” The former Richmond Athletic and Nelson Suburbs star says he was very relieved after seeing the ball hit the back of the net. “It was a massive weight off my shoulders.” The game was Jeremy’s first in more than two months after being relegated to the bench. He says his goal scoring drought and form had begun to take a toll. “Since I’ve arrived at the club in January it’s been very difficult, mentally it’s been testing, and I have to thank my wife and kids for keeping the smile on my face away from football.” However, Jeremy says something inside felt different heading into last week’s clash. “I just had to be patient and wait for another opportunity to play and I actually felt good leading up to the game, it was my first game in about two months
