NMIT proposal to cut jobs leave staff ‘broken’ SARA HOLLYMAN More than 20 jobs at NMIT could disappear, according to a proposal sent to staff last week.

Around 75 staff received consultation letters proposing the disestablishment or change of their roles which has left many feeling “shocked” and “broken”, they have told Nelson Weekly.

The Change Proposal, which has been viewed by the Weekly, seeks to disestablish more than 100 full-time equivalent roles (FTE) and reestablish 80 new roles.

The changes would mean the loss of more than 20 full-time jobs.

However, NMIT executive director Olivia Hall says the process is very much in its consultation phase and wouldn’t provide

numbers on role disestablishments or staff affected.

“The leadership team genuinely wants to hear feedback from kaimahi (staff) before making decisions. At this early stage of the consultation process we do not want to pre-judge any outcomes, this includes releasing any proposed numbers of disestablished roles,” she said in a

statement.

The changes are part of a wider government directive setting out the expectations of the Minister for Tertiary Education and Skills, Penny Simmonds.

In letters from December and May, the minister confirmed it is no longer the intention of the government to have a centralised organisation.

Following this, decision-making has largely returned to divisions, including NMIT. Olivia said in a letter to staff that the Change Proposal marks the next stage in the journey back to being a regionally-led polytechnic for the Top of the South.

NMIT has run a deficit for nearly

seven years while staffing has continued to grow and student numbers decrease.

The proposal says the increase in staff has not correlated to a growth in educational performance indicators (EPIs) and has not led to better educational outcomes.

In 2008, NMIT had 255 fulltime equivalent (FTE) staff, for 3031 full-time equivalent students with a surplus of $1.55M, however, by 2023, its deficit had grown to $5.98M with just 2239 FTE students and 304 FTE staff.

“Whilst the directive to change has come from outside NMIT, the evidence clearly indicates that without changing our current structure and ways of working we will continue to lose money, we will not see better outcomes for ākonga and we

will put NMIT at risk of never being a stand-alone, regionally-led institute again,” the proposal reads.

Going forward, all teams will need to be “lean, multi-purpose, flexible, and focused on continuous improvement”.

For academic staff, work is being undertaken separately to address the cost of delivering programmes.

This includes ensuring academic staff are working to the teaching load of the FTE for which they are paid which will “significantly reduce” the requirement for additional teaching resources.

A staff member, who spoke with Nelson Weekly on the condition of anonymity, says emails were sent to all staff on Thursday, 5 September, warning of a restructure. The following day, those who would be affected were contacted.

“What they are doing is awful, but how they are doing it is worse.”

They say the way communication has been undertaken has made staff feel disempowered and although there will be some new roles to apply for, some say they don’t want to continue working there.

“Some have had enough of NMIT and the leadership team, others are worried about rent, groceries and for them, a job is a job.”

Expressions of interest for volunteer redundancies have been called for as part of the proposal. Staff impacted by disestablishments will be given priority over other staff in the selection and short-listing process.

NMIT hopes that the entire process moves toward resolution “as quickly as possible” to reduce stress and uncertainty.

Consultation on the proposal will run until 2 October with a decision expected in mid-October and a plan for all recruitment, redeployment, retraining and redundancies to be confirmed and actioned before the end of this year.

“We acknowledge that for some kaimahi, this process will be extremely unsettling and upsetting.

“We also know that several of our kaimahi and teams that would usually support kaimahi through this process are also impacted by the change proposal.”

Nelson MP Rachel Boyack says the proposal would be a “massive loss”.

“Te Pūkenga was bringing benefits and one of the things we were seeing was closeness to industry.

“To break it up without a plan... it’s absolutely gutting.”

Baskets to bloom this summer KATE RUSSELL Nelson’s iconic hanging flower baskets will be back this summer – around 700 of them in fact, at a cost of $100,000.

This annual budget was approved by Nelson City councillors through the Long Term Plan 2024-34 process.

The plan was unanimously adopted in June after public consultation.

The hanging flower baskets have been a feature of Nelson since 2001.

Each year the baskets are planted with the help of volunteers at the Nelmac Nurs-

ery on Atawhai Drive and installed throughout the city in the first week of December.

In late 2023, the baskets faced being pruned out of the Long Term Plan, but councillors narrowly voted to keep them in the draft plan.

The $100,000 cost includes the plants - a mixture of petunias, impatiens and geraniums - as well as the labour, maintenance, repairs, and replacement requirements associated with the baskets throughout the almost five-month display.

The basket frames are stored and reused each year.

Retailers initially contributed

to the baskets; however, this approach was abandoned after the 2020/21 summer when the council began footing the entire bill.

This ensured the baskets were spread consistently through the city after some retailers had dropped out of the display.

Nelson City Council is now looking for volunteers for four 90-minute planting sessions two of which will take place in late September, with another two in late October.

For more information on how to sign up, call council customer services on 03 546 0200.

Ninety years tramping FROM PAGE 1

It is 90 years since 40 trampers laced up their boots and headed up to Third House in the Brook Valley for the Nelson Tramping Club’s first tramp.

This month the club celebrates nine decades with a short walk up the Grampians and a celebration meal at Fairfield House.

One of today’s members, Ray Salisbury, says the club was formed in response to a search for a college student who was missing in the hills.

After the boy’s body was found, sixty people turned up at a public meeting and a tramping club was formed.

“During the not-so-Great Depression, tramps were mostly local rambles to places such as Drumduan, Mt Duppa and Dun Mountain. There was snow to wade through on Jenkins Hill, snowball fights on Wooded Peak and ice skating across the tarns on Mt Robert.”

Ray says, back in those early days a ‘special car’ was hired to access des-

tinations further afield, such as Mt Arthur or Nelson Lakes.

“These pioneer trampers carried materials on their own backs and built the first Rocks Hut and Kicking Horse Hut in the Richmond Ranges.

John Tait Hut was erected in the Travers Valley in 1948.”

Since those heady days, the club has been involved with eleven huts. Between 2013 and 2016, club members spent 800 hours renovating Flora Hut, which Ray says is nearly 100 years old.

Back in the 1960s, the club was paid by the council to clear tracks in the local hills. Today, he says, the club is re-opening many of those old tracks, such as the Zig-Zag Track which drops off The Doubles, and Heartbreak Ridge, which climbs above Whispering Falls.

The club’s 90th anniversary celebration will be held on 22 September.

derstanding of te reo gave it a sense of belonging as New Zealanders and a hope for the future.

“We are the guardians of that language, and if we lose it, it’s not going to come back,” she says. “Te reo gives you a greater understanding of New Zealand culture, society, why you would build in one area and not another, and the importance of looking after the rivers, the sea and the natural wildlife.

“Because it’s not just the language, it’s the tikanga and the protocols and the history that sits behind that as well.”

Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology (NMIT) has also noticed a jump in its te reo Māori programme enrolments.

Executive director Olivia Hall says a plethora of people enrolling and their reasons for it were a good sign for the language’s longevity.

“Some people who are exceedingly highly qualified in a variety of qualifications, some who have very high-powered jobs,

A local school epitomises this year’s Te Wiki o te Reo Māori theme that represents resilience, adaptability and endurance of the language.

The annual Māori Language Week held this year between 14 and 21 September is a celebration to uplift the language, and at Tāhunanui School, te reo Māori is like the umbilical cord to everyone in its community.

Principal Barbara Bowen has witnessed the local progression of the language in her three decades teaching in Nelson and says te reo Māori and its sustainability was a large part of its school term theme and its curriculum.

“We have been on different learning journeys in terms of how best to develop it in the curriculum and to sustain it, no matter who the staff are and what the expertise is,” she says.

“We decided on a Te Puna Reo programme this year, and we are aiming to move from level one of te reo learning to level two in the next couple of years… so it’s all our staff and students learning the same thing across the school… and we’re also bringing in our whānau so they can have access as well.

“We’re hoping that by having this structure it will build the capacity of our staff and students… we’re hearing a lot more sentence structures and using the words more interactively now than we ever were before… we’re really excited to build on what we’ve got already.”

to some who are first-time studying,” she says.

“Some of the reasons we get are ‘my grandchildren or children are learning te reo in the classroom and I want to be able to keep up with them’… for our Māori learners its around sort of that reclamation of their own language and culture, which enables them to learn more about their own self and history.”

“For some it’s around their job to make sure that they’re able to be proficient enough within their roles and some are either interested or committed to New Zealand being more bilingual.”

Olivia says adults being less demure about using te reo will also sustain it.

“As adults we feel whakamā or ashamed if we make a mistake… but the more it’s used, the more it’s normalised as part of our way of communicating, then it helps with the sustainability of te reo for the long term,” she says.

Twenty years of transforming lives Maree Kenyon reckons she was born to be a social worker.

Whether it was her turbulent upbringing in the 1980s or her gift of uplifting other people it is a career path that has now seen her support hundreds of local families over the past 20 years.

Maree is currently a social worker at Barnardos and is one of many who are being recognised today for Aotearoa New Zealand Social Workers’ Day. “I don’t think I decided to be a social worker,” Maree says.

“I think I was born with this innate feeling that everybody needs to have someone just to give them some compassion, whether you know them or not.”

Maree dropped out of school and left her family home in Marlborough at the tender age of 14.

“My childhood had a lot of family violence. My dad was quite a violent man and alcohol was involved. We witnessed, and were impacted, by dad not being able to overcome that battle.”

She describes her late mother as her and her three siblings “saving grace”.

“She was the kindest, most caring mum you could have ever asked for. She was a very compassionate woman, even though her own life was pretty hard. We didn’t have much money, but mum always made things work.”

However, Maree’s home environment became too much for her to handle, and school life

wasn’t much better, so she got herself a job at the MarlborMaree Kenyon has been ough Shoe Factory and moved a social worker in the into a flat. region for 20 years.

“I absolutely loved it. I just Photo: Kate Russell. loved working, loved being around people.

“I paid $50 a week for my rent, it was cheap as chips back then.”

Maree fell pregnant when she was 18 and decided to keep her baby girl and raise her as a solo mother.

“She changed my whole philosophy on life. She gave me purpose.”

Down the track, Maree also took in her younger sister’s three children.

“Unfortunately, she battled with severe mental health issues and took her own life in 2013.”

It was when Maree was doing some voluntary work for the Family Service Centre in Motueka that she was encour- “The things I’ve been through aged to get her social worker and the journey I’ve been on qualifications. helps me to have compassion So, in 2004 she began her and some insight into what training at NMIT at the age of people come into this building 32 and “never looked back”. for, or why people put their “The biggest battle was in my hand out - or sometimes why head.

ask before… there has been a significant change in the demographics - and that’s okay, you know.”

Maree says today is a day to celebrate all social workers in Aotearoa.

“Imagine a world where there are no social workers? Where would people turn to who don’t have someone else in their corner? I think we’re really important, and what we do is really valuable.”

Nelson’s Theatre Royal is holding an open day this Sunday to give the public a chance to have a peek behind the scenes.

The theatre, built in 1878, is the oldest operating wooden theatre in Australasia and also one of New Zealand’s busiest.

Theatre manager Eliane Polack says a new display has been set up for visitors, showing items discovered and used in the theatre’s major refurbishment, which was completed in 2010.

“If you want the experience that actors have, people can dress up in the bright dressing room lights, then have their moment on the stage.”

For those more technically minded, you’ll be able to access the fly tower to see how the fly system works and have a go. A selection of theatre lights and lighting boards will also be on display, dating from the most recent purchases right back to the 1920s.

Eliane says there will be continuous tours around the building, and to get the full experience, visitors will need to climb quite a few stairs, but people can also choose to stay at the ground level.

Nelson Weekly has a prize up for grabs for two people to use the Royal Box for the Zac Griffith Concert on 28 September at the theatre. To be in to win, email your details to kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

by Friday, 20 September.

The Theatre Royal open day is on Sunday, 22 September from 11am - 2pm at 78 Rutherford St, Nelson. Entry is free and bookings are not required.

Afterwards, the children, who demonstrated a keen interest and understanding, discussed how we can save our environment from pollution and overfishing.

CAPUCHINS GET NEW HOME: Stage 1 of a redevelopment for Natureland’s capuchin monkeys is now complete. Downer Group NZ removed the old perimeter fence to make way for the new design. Donaldson Civil then stepped in to remove the old mound, dig out the new moat, and place the poles generously donated by Tasman Pines. Higgins Concrete provided the concrete for securing the poles and building our new walkway, while Edridge supplied the gravel needed for laying the concrete, which was installed by Independent Kerb and Concreting. Natureland will now look to Stage 2, which will see new perimeter fencing installed.

Following installation of the fence, focus will shift to the capuchin’s new den as part of Stage 3. Natureland manager Leah Foster says this is the part that will require the community’s help.

Students turn trash into treasure KATE RUSSELL A group of students at Nelson Intermediate School is on a mission to turn trash into treasure and hopefully help out the environment along the way.

The Kaitiaki group meets a few times a week to create items that they will sell at the Nelson Market next term.

Kaitiaki means ‘guardian’ and teacher Sarah Johns says the group comprises at least two students from each class.

“We meet every Monday afternoon, some lunchtimes, and anyone can join.

“It’s a nice place to come and be creative, there is a real sense of community.”

Old teacups repurposed into candles, and earrings made from bike tyre inner-tubes are two of their latest creations.

Other makings include kawakawa balm, beeswax lunch pouches, and beeswax fire-starters from the offcuts of the pouches - as the resin and wax make the perfect wick.

Sarah says they approached Bike Hub Nelson for the inner-tubes to make earrings, and they were more than happy to donate a big bag of them.

They also asked the Nelson Reuse and Recycle centre for old teacups, which they paid a 50 cent koha for.

“All the ideas come from brainstorming sessions, thinking of how we can make things out of

products that would otherwise go to waste,” Sarah says.

“It has become a real sustainable enterprise, turning trash into treasure.”

The group was recognised for their efforts last year, receiving

a ‘Sustainable Schools Award’ as part of the Keep New Zealand Beautiful Awards in November.

The beeswax food pouches came about after a waste audit that found that lunch packaging was one of the main sources of waste

at the school.

They received a ‘Growing for Good’ grant, which they used to purchase sewing machines and materials to design and create the pouches.

Now, every Year 7 who starts at the school is gifted one for their lunchbox.

The students were also recently granted an ‘Impact Challenge’ microgrant of $300 from Inspiring Stories, and another microgrant to support them to grow vegetable seedlings with the community next term.

“The intent is to boost community collaboration and encourage growing your own food,” Sarah says.

“Students will facilitate this and invite neighbours and surrounding schools and ECE centres to come join them.”

The students hope to have enough stock to set up their stall at the Nelson Market in early Term 4.

“They will need to price it up, organise the stall, work out how to handle the money, and keep a record of their stock.”

Sarah says, at its busiest, they have up to 40 students at one session.

“I just oil the cogs really, they are only limited by the adult in the room.”

Arts hub spins new life into old laundromat KATE RUSSELL An old laundromat in the heart of Nelson has received a fresh spin as an “Airbnb for art”.

Project 100, named after its location at 100 Collingwood St, is a multidisciplinary creative hub with a gallery space that opened its doors earlier this month. It aims to fill a niche gap within Nelson’s local arts scene by offering a hire model where artists will have complete control over their exhibitions - from curation to management, with flexible opening hours to suit their needs and specifications.

The space is also home to the Bench School for Jewellery, founded by contemporary jeweller Kay van Dyk, and private

Local ceramic artist Thomas Baker kicked off the first exhibition at Project 100 on Friday.

which can then become a blank canvas for contemporary artists from near and afar to showcase their projects, essentially making Project 100 a constantly evolving project within a project.”

There is also the potential for artists in residence to work on-site while they exhibit, so the public can experience makers in motion. This is the case for local ceramic artist Thomas Baker, who kicked off the first exhibition at the space on Friday.

Thomas is the creative director of the upcoming Clay Week and the co-founder of Kiln Studio.

As well as exhibiting his work, he will be getting behind the wheel and working with people who come by.

“What’s happening here is great,” he says of the space. “The more galleries in Nelson, the better.”

studios for working artists.

Owner of Project 100, Hilary Johnstone, says she is passionate about the revitalisation of Nelson’s city centre and the new space will support and celebrate artistic diversity.

“We want artists to have a place where they can fully express their creativity.

“I wanted to support artists and provide a fringe space for the diverse range of makers, craft people, and artists who call this region home.”

When Hilary purchased the laundromat in late 2023, she intended to provide artist studio spaces for several working artists. She says Project 100 not only owes its quirky name to its address but also to her vision for the gallery of being a “project within a project.”

“This project of mine is to create a vibrant arts space

SOFT PLASTICS RECYCLING TRIAL I love that Nelson is to be the first city in NZ to have a kerbside recycling service for soft plastics funded by industry.

The proposed trial was announced last month but was dependent on 1000 homes registering to participate. These were secured last week so it is now all go for October. My household is one of those registered and I’m looking forward to being part of this practical initiative to reduce waste.

We have been steadily improving our recycling efforts in Nelson, starting with glass, progressively including cardboard, paper, aluminium and steel cans and, more lately, hard plastics. Soft plastics are extensively used as a means of keeping food safe and fresh, but it has been difficult finding a practical and economic way to collect and reuse these.

I was involved as Environment Minister in 2017 in helping get soft plastic recycling started in NZ, in partnership with The Packaging Forum. This initiative enabled people to drop off their used soft plastics at New World, Countdown and PAK’nSAVE supermarkets and The Warehouse. This has enabled recycling businesses such as Future Post in Blenheim to remanufacture the soft plastics into fence posts for vineyards, farms and home gardens.

The step up to a kerbside recycling service has the advantage of being much more convenient than having to take soft plastics to a specific store. The 1000 participating households will be provided with an orange bag in which to accumulate their soft plastics and put them out in their NCC blue recycling crate. Households not in the trial will be able to continue to use the bins at supermarkets.

It is good that this new kerbside initiative is being funded by The Packaging Forum and not ratepayers. We need to build a culture around waste where manufacturers take greater responsibility for their products and help us find practical and convenient ways to collect and reuse it.

I am proud that Nelson has led NZ on so many environmental issues. My hope is we can make a success of this 1000-home trial of kerbside soft plastic recycling so it can be expanded citywide and then nationwide.

Stage set for epic twonight dance event SARA HOLLYMAN Gearing up for the fourth NBS Dancing for a Cause, for the first time the event will now run over two nights.

Project manager Emma Silke-French says they are proud of the event they have created, which is a major fundraiser for Nelson Tasman Hospice.

“When we first looked at doing it, it was in a little school hall.

We begged people to be in the first one,” Emma recalls of the first event.

Fast-forward to 2025 and the Trafalgar Centre is expected to

sell-out again, this time over two massive evenings.

“We are going to do the night twice,” Emma says.

On the first night – Friday, 16 May 2025, the show will replicate previous shows. Each pair will perform one dance, with judges scoring out of 10.

At the end of the night a People’s Choice Award will be given out to one of the dancers. On Saturday night, all dancers will dance the same routine again with an overall winner announced at the end of the night.

“Whilst they’re doing the same dance, they can dance them

very differently, it still is anyone’s game over the two nights,” Emma says. “We’re very grateful we have created this event that people respond to and want to be at. Selling our tables is the most stressful part, there’s not enough tables to go around. It’s got to the point where we thought, ‘let’s try it’,” she says of extending the event to two nights.”

With the event last year generating $440k for hospice, Emma says a more realistic expectation will be $250k this year.

Ten locals are getting ready to start a huge journey of training for the 2025 NBS Dancing for a Cause which will return to Trafalgar Centre in May next year.

This week Waimea Weekly introduces the two final contestants, Wendy Blincoe and Richard Norriss.

Richard Norriss I am Ritchie Norriss, born and bred here in Richmond, a Waimea Old Boy and proud to continue to call this region home. A few of you may remember me from the early days, leading you through your aerobics classes in the 90’s, but most will know me more from my 37 years building homes here in Nelson. I am the owner and LPB of Norriss Building Limited. There are no surprises, I am a regular family man with three lovely daughters, two of whom have been successful dancers most of their lives. I am looking forward to showing them what their dad is made of, but most importantly, I am looking forward to being able to contribute to something that is far bigger than any one of us. Hospice needs our help, and I am ready to step out of my comfort zone, step up to the challenge, and step out on to the dance floor.

Wendy Blincoe This is going to be an amazing experience, and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to help raise money for such a great cause! For those who don’t know me, I’m Wendy, but you can call me ‘Red’. I’m originally from Karamea but have lived in beautiful Nelson for most of my life. These days, I’m living my dream job - selling cars. I’ve been in car sales for seven years now, working at The Car Company, and I’ve met so many wonderful people along the way. My love for cars runs deep - I have a little collection at home. That’s how I met my wonderful husband, Graeme Blincoe. He’s the genius behind the Nelson Car Show, which has run for 10 years. I also love going to F45, where I train seven days a week. Yes, you read that right. For someone who couldn’t last a week in a gym before, F45 has been a game-changer.

Here’s the thing: I have absolutely no idea how to dance, or wear heels. But I’m diving in headfirst, and I’m so excited for the challenge!

With your support, we can make this a hugely successful fundraiser.

John Bertrand Collectables Buying in the Nelson Region Next Week Once again, the gold and collectables buyers from Wellington company John Bertrand Limited are visiting the Nelson Region next week. Mr Tony Grant from the company says, “If you are downsizing or wanting to dispose of things because they no longer serve any purpose to you or your family bring them in”. “Next week will be a great opportunity to have any items you want to sell assessed by our buyers” said Mr Grant. Particularly wanted are Gold and Silver (in any of its forms) and Collectables such as Coins, Banknotes, War Medals, Old Wind-up Watches and other interesting Small Collectables.

“We are keen buyers, especially of the items in the list below” said Mr Grant.

“Nothing is too small for our consideration. We are just as happy buying 1 item as we are buying 1,000 items” he said. The buyers will be in the Nelson Region next Mr Anthony (Tony) W. Grant week (see details below).

As Tony Grant points out Fellow of the Royal Numismatic “If you are in doubt about Society of New Zealand Incorporated Director and Buyer any items you may wish to John Bertrand (Collectables) Ltd sell, bring them along for an Author of the John Bertrand NZ Coin & Banknote Catalogue instant appraisal.”

Interesting Small Collectables Wanted

Gold & Silver At Near Record Prices

D

uring these uncertain times we have seen a sharp increase in the price of precious metals. The gold price in New Zealand is at near record levels so gather up all your unwanted items and take them along to the buyers. Tony Grant says “We can buy old gold items in all forms, including Jewellery (Rings, Chains, Brooches etc), Coins (Sovereigns and the like), Alluvial (River Gold), virtually anything, even Gold Teeth! We also need all Sterling Silver including Cups, Tea Services, Cutlery and Old Coins” he said.

T

he buyers from John Bertrand (Collectables) Ltd, visiting the Nelson Region next week, are happy to look at any interesting items, for example vintage pocket and wristwatches such as Rolex, Men’s Omega, Breitling and gold watches etc. Also wanted, pre 1950’s picture postcards, Maori and Pacific artefacts, old fountain pens and other small antique or historical items.

“If you have something unusual which you would like to sell, please bring it into one of our venues, we would like the chance to at least have a look at it” said Tony Grant, buyer for the Company.

“We will consider anything which may be of interest to a collector” he said.

Some Big Dollars in Early Banknotes

E

arly New Zealand Banknotes dated before 1932 are currently fetching big money! This is according to Mr Tony Grant, author of the John Bertrand New Zealand Coin & Banknote Catalogue. Mr Grant is in the Nelson Region next week on a buying trip for John Bertrand (Collectables) Ltd and would be very keen to see any of these issues. “We will pay at least $300 for any undamaged Ten Shilling or One Pound

banknote from a New Zealand trading bank dated 1932 or before.

Denominations of five pounds and higher would be worth from $700. “Any banknote dated prior to 1900 would be worth at least $1000” said Mr Grant.

Also purchased are any Reserve Bank of New Zealand pre-decimal issues, especially 50 Pound notes. All overseas banknotes are also wanted, especially early Pacific Island issues.

Collectors Need War Medals

C

urrently, throughout NZ and the world there is a big demand by collectors for war medals. These cover all wars right through from the New Zealand Land Wars and the Boer War, to the First and Second World Wars and the later Korea and Vietnam conflicts. New Zealand Servicemen and Women first served overseas in the Boer War in South Africa around 1900 and the war medals awarded for this service are needed by the buyers, as are any other Medals from early New Zealand and the New Zealand Wars.

General service medals from both the First and Second World Wars will also be purchased, but as can be imagined these were awarded in fairly large numbers. “If a group of medals has any special award for bravery such as the Military Medal, Military or Flying Cross or other medals for Distinguished Conduct or Meritorious Service, these can add great value to a group” stated Mr Tony Grant, buyer for John Bertrand (Collectables) Ltd. “Many families have old medals, some dating back to early Imperial days, that they are not sure what to do with. These are better off in the hands of collectors who will look after them. We will be happy to look at any war medals whatsoever, just bring them in to venues” he said.

Old Coins Can Toss Up a Rarity

D

o you have a bunch of old coins sitting around in your drawers and cupboards? You just never know what rarities may be lurking there. The advice from Tony Grant from John Bertrand (Collectables) Limited is to “bring them in and let us have a look”. “No need to sort anything out just bring them in ‘as is’ and please don’t clean them!

We can go through coin accumulations and collections fairly quickly” he said. The buyers are particularly keen to buy pre 1946 New Zealand Silver Coins for at least 10 times their face value (more for quantity). “In any event we will buy All Coins,” said Mr Grant.

Obstacles eureka in Costa Rica GORDON PREECE Racing through a coffee plantation was a grind for one local competitor at the recent Obstacle Course Racing World Championships.

Nelson’s Kevin Ford, Roydon Hawks, Roddy Kirk, Cody Scott and Motueka’s Gareth Moore, were part of a 19-member New Zealand squad who took on the laborious courses at the annual event, which was hosted by Costa Rica from 22 to 25 August.

In the individual 100m, 3km and 15km courses athletes begun with three wristbands and were expected to attempt every obstacle with one chance to conquer them.

Failure to do so led to one of the wristbands being cut, and if athletes lost all their bands in their race, they were given a did not complete mark.

A 5km team course was also included in the championship.

World champs debutant Cody, who’s just turned 22, set a New Zealand record for females in the 100 metre race with a time of 59.7 seconds.

“To be part of such a huge event was incredible, the amount of support from not just the New Zealand team but the other countries as well was heartwarming,” they said.

Kevin says he and the other Nelson Tasman athletes also performed well and were privileged to take part in the Central American nation.

He says Costa Rica was a “brilliant host” despite night time reprobates damaging obstacles and stealing medals.

“There was the most amazing atmosphere out there, the guys absolutely loved it,” he says.

“140 countries coming into the biggest stadium in Costa Rica with thundering drums and beautiful sequined Latin American dancers, and the ecstatic energy of our flag waving

and waiata was breathtaking, overwhelming and exhilarating.”

Kevin Ford had the “extremely upsetting” misfortune of tearing a bicep muscle from practicing on a set of rings on the first day, but soldiered on with his arm in a sling to finish sixth for his age category in the 15km course.

The course was situated at a coffee plantation that was 1500 metres up a volcano with slippery boulders, ponds and plastic hand grips resembling coffee beans, bananas and sweetcorn.

“Just to prove the point that nothing will hold New Zealanders back from doing what they want to do,” he says.

Kevin says the group now look to refine their endurance at Nelson Obstacle Park in the Moutere Hills, which he co-operates with his partner Julia Kelly, for next year’s world champs in Sweden.

FC Nelson prep for huge game STEPHEN STUART FC Nelson coach Paul Brydon is hoping history doesn’t repeat in the Mainland football play-offs this season.

His side won the first leg of its qualifying series 3-2 over Waimak United in Kaiapoi on Saturday and will host the North Canterbury team in the return match at Guppy Park this Saturday.

“Last year we beat Canterbury University in the first leg but then went down 3-nil to miss out on aggregate,” says Paul.

But the big difference this time is the first win was on the road, so home advantage will be huge.

FC Nelson was also missing key players for last weekend’s away game with the likes of attacking midfielder Labu Pan set to return to the side on Saturday.

He agrees it’s a good selection headache to have for the club which was formed in 2011.

Certainly better than the anxious times the team went through, early on, against Waimak United.

“We were two goals down after 15 minutes and I was fearing the worst.”

Four decades enriching special athletes GORDON PREECE

But a double from 2023 FC Nelson player of the year TJ Hansen and a second half strike from Phun Lian set the side up for its biggest match of the year so far.

Victory will mean another trip to Christchurch to face Wanaka at a neutral venue. The Central Otago team has reached the play-offs

for the first time. The winner will be promoted to the Southern Premier League at the expense of bottom-placed Christchurch club FC Twenty 11, which will be relegated.

Nelson Suburbs already plays in the Southern League so the prospect of two local sides competing will only add to their rivalry.

“I was so impressed with these young boys on the stage who had Down’s syndrome, and I had never come across anybody who had a mental disability… and it turned out there were hundreds of them in Nelson,” he says.

John says the early years only featured swimming and athletics, but had evolved to include golf, football, powerlifting, bocce, indoor bowls, ten pin bowling, and basketball, with around 70 athletes currently taking part.

National tournaments are held every four years and notable athletes have included Graeme Porter, who represented New Zealand at the 50th Anniversary of the Special Olympics in the USA. “We’re most proud of the fact that we’ve done this thing for these people.”

“It just makes me very proud that the thing has been so successful, and that the Nelson people have got behind it so much over the years.”

Special Olympics Nelson has provided sporting pathways for locals with disabilities for four decades, including up to 15 people who have represented Aotearoa on the global stage.

Lots of commuting to Nelson ensued but he’s now ensconced in his old home city.

“I cheekily applied for a ministry job here and never expected to get it,” says Myron, who observed Nelson had changed a bit from his early days.

What hasn’t changed is his sense of family history and his own journey is reflected by his traditional full-face tattoo.

“I got the moko on Waitangi Day 2022, along with two cousins, and it surprised the netball community, but they were equally supportive,” says the proud member of the Ngati Koata iwi.

The Elkingtons trace their origins back to D’urville Island in the 1800’s.

“I try to get back to the family homestead there as often as possible.”

But you get the feeling that might get tougher as the former Air New Zealand highflyer seems destined for a busy schedule.

A good thing then that his employers are so flexible about accommodating his burgeoning netball commitments.

Myron Elkington is on the pathway to umpiring at the highest level.

Photo: Barry Whitnall / Shuttersport.

Having done the hard yards on the provincial netball circuit, Nelson’s leading umpire Myron Elkington is edging closer to international elevation.

The 36-year-old has become the region’s first ITID – International Talent Identified Umpire – which puts him on the pathway to officiating at the highest level.

While sworn to secrecy over whether that will mean being fast-tracked into the code’s big time, Myron could confirm he’s off to Rarotonga later this month to umpire at the Oceania World Youth Netball Qualifying Tournament.

He was sure due a change of fortune after Covid-19 cost him his Air New Zealand job in 2020 and then a serious ankle injury, sustained when he came out of retirement to play for the Nelson Men’s Netball side, sidelined his umpiring career for 18 months.

His most recent assignment was last month’s Nelson Premier club final after being involved in the domestic show-

piece, the ANZ Premiership, earlier this year.

The consistency Myron brought to that competition led to his new ITID elevation.

As for his umpiring style… “I like to think I am relatable and fair.

“It’s not all about me. Matches should be remembered for the players, not the officials,’’ says the Stoke resident.

His progression through the ranks has been hailed by one of the players he used to umpire, New Zealand Men’s Netball Captain, Kruze Tangira.

“I knew 100 per cent he would make it. He’s refereed us and he was excellent. The players love what he brings,” enthuses Kruze, who also used work with Myron in his airline cabin crew days.

Myron started out as a solecharge flight attendant in Nelson before he spread his wings and went to Australia before settling in Wellington.

After becoming a pandemic casualty, the cabin crew manager changed careers and joined the Ministry of Education in the capital.
