Nelsonians team up to beat Rod’s time FROM PAGE 1 ANDREW BOARD

Forty-odd Nelsonians are teaming up to do what one Nelsonian achieved on his own – run a marathon in under 2 hours and 9 minutes.

The runners – some of whom aren’t really runners at all – will each run a 200-metre leg before passing the baton to the next person.

The goal is to collectively run a marathon faster than when Rod Dixon won the New York City Marathon in 1983 – 2hr 8m 59s.

To do that the average pace for a 200-metre leg is 36.7 seconds.

Each runner will run several legs throughout the run with some of the faster runners likely to be nudged to the front of the queue more often than some of the

slower ones.

The run will take place during The Spectacle, a massive running festival that will be held on Saturday, 14 December, in Nelson’s CBD. The track for the race will follow the same route as the 5km race, a loop between Church Lane, Hardy St, Hope Lane and Selwyn Place.

It has been organised by Conal Beban, who came up with the idea after seeing a YouTube video of some Australians trying to break the world record marathon time by doing a relay.

Weaving that in with The Spectacle and with the goal of beating Rod’s time, it was a sure winner.

But the cause is far bigger than just trying to beat Rod’s time, Conal says the main reason for the event is as a fundraiser for Ranui House in Christchurch.

Ranui House is a lifeline for families who find themselves in Christchurch for life-saving medical treatment.

These families often travel far from home, leaving behind their support networks, and face the emotional and financial strain of long hospital stays.

Ranui House provides them with a home away from home—a place where they can stay close to their loved ones, receive comfort, and a sense of community during some of the most challenging times of their lives.

Conal says he hopes to raise $10,000 for Ranui House.

“It’s an amazing facility that helps people from all over the South Island when they are going through a pretty tough time in their lives. I’ve stayed there and it’s an amazing facility.”

The team will start at 4.30pm and

are hoping to finish shortly after 6.30pm.

While they do have about 40 keen runners so far, Conal says they are keen for more.

“It’s not about whether you’re a runner or not, it’s about if you’re up for raising some money for Ranui House and being a part of a pretty cool event.”

Rod Dixon says he will be a keen observant of the run and hopes they can break his time.

“It will be great if they can do it, I think it’s fantastic. I love the fact that there is so much enthusiasm and such a ground swell of support for running in Nelson and Tasman.”

Woman sells car loaned to her by a friend TRACY NEAL

Open Justice Reporter

A woman who was loaned a car from a friend changed the ownership to hers, and then sold it for $450.

Charlotte Lee Nicholas-Davis, who is about two months from having her third child, appeared in the Nelson District Court on Monday where she was sentenced to 40 hours of community work for what the judge said was “an unusual set of circumstances”.

“It seems that when a friend

was kind to you, you took significant liberties, and not only did you not return the car, you sold it,” Judge Jo Rielly said.

Nicholas-Davis admitted a charge of theft of a motor vehicle, which her lawyer Ian Miller said amounted to theft by conversion.

In December last year, the owner agreed to lend her his car for three weeks, but by February when the vehicle had not been returned, the owner and his partner asked for it back.

Nicholas-Davis told them

she had no intention of giving it back.

She then changed the ownership online, so that she was listed as the vehicle’s owner, and arranged to sell it.

That same week the $1500 vehicle was sold for $450.

Judge Rielly noted there had been flow-on effects for the victim, who had been left “significantly out of pocket” and missed a flight through not having the car.

In sentencing Nicholas-Davis to community work, she also ordered her to pay reparation of $1813 to reflect

LIFESTYLE TREND The latest data from the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ) highlights notable trends in the lifestyle property market.

In the three months ending October 2024, 1,360 lifestyle properties were sold across the country. The median price for lifestyle blocks surged in 10 regions between the three months ending October 2023 and the same period this year, with Nelson/Marlborough/ Tasman seeing a remarkable 12.9 per cent increase. However, not all regions shared in the gains; the West Coast saw prices drop by 15.0 per cent. The median number of days to sell a lifestyle property now stands at 98 days— 20 days longer than in the three months to October 2023. Canterbury remains the fastest-moving market, with properties selling in just 71 days, while Nelson/Marlborough/Tasman recorded the longest time at 134 days.

the value of the vehicle and the loss incurred through the owner having missed the flight.

“This was significant offending behaviour and there was a breach of trust involved,” Judge Rielly said. She said Nicholas-Davis had also “dragged the matter out” for many months which had also been upsetting for the victim.

‘Tis the season to be thrifty KATE RUSSELL Fake or real, second-hand or brand-new - everyone has their preference when it comes to Christmas trees and decorations, and it seems that many Nelsonians are heading to the op shops for theirs this year.

Nelson ReStore began selling Christmas stock at the beginning of November and has already sold more than 5500 of these preloved items.

Assistant manager Mandy Silcock says their mission is to ensure people can have an affordable Christmas – and as a bonus, save things from going to landfill and raise money for Habitat for Humanity.

“As you can see, we’ve got a bit of a forest growing here,” Mandy says, while pointing to their impressive haul of Christmas trees.

She estimates they will sell more than 100 artificial trees of all shapes and sizes before 25 December. A month ago, their Christmas storeroom walls were stacked with 120 banana boxes, full of decorations, kitchenware, craft supplies – you name it.

ReStore volunteers at Habitat Humanity Nelson, Melanie Houghton, left, and Jane Bosecke, with Motueka ReStore manager Kylie Kaihe, get into the Christmas spirit with some of their Christmas goods for sale. Photo: Kate Russell.

Incoming goods coordinator Juliet Randle says there are some treasures amongst the donations.

“Beautiful tree decorations that you wouldn’t be able to buy in New Zealand... lots of special things that are not produced anymore.”

Juliet remembers her first Christmas working at ReStore, where several out-of-towners camping nearby came in to buy a tree for their stay and then donate it again before leaving Nelson.

“It can be a really affordable way to have Christmas and we are

grateful to the people who donate to us.”

St Vincent de Paul Nelson shop manager Vanessa Donald says their Christmas trees and decorations are “flying off the shelves”.

“We’ve got a nice variety, including some smaller Christmas trees

for tables, and we’re bagging up baubles and things like that and selling them for low prices.

“People are also very generous with their donations, so we are well-stocked.”

Vanessa says they are also seeing more people shopping for Christmas presents.

“We have some really nice gifts... it’s lovely when a customer finds something meaningful.”

Meanwhile, if you are after a real Christmas tree this year, it’s looking like there will be plenty of these available too. Eyebright Country Store started selling them on 23 November, with “hundreds” of trees ready to go.

Wakefield Christmas Trees will open their gates on 2 December and will operate each day from 9am-6pm. Trees, including “quite a few larger trees this year” are $30 each. St Nicks Christmas Tree farm in Cable Bay will have pine trees available for $25 each.

“We have plenty of trees available this year and the season is looking good,” they told Nelson Weekly. Their opening hours will be 7-8 December and 14-15 December from 10am until 5pm.

DRIVING DONATIONS FOR A CAUSE: Over the month of October, The Car Company donated $50 from each car sale to Whakatū Refuge. A total of $5740 was presented to the organisation on Friday.

This is the 14th year the fundraising initiative has been going and it comes at a time of year where the funds are needed the most in the lead-up to Christmas.

Shirley celebrates 100 milestone SARA HOLLYMAN Shirley Wright reckons there isn’t a secret to living to 100, but her active and independent lifestyle may have had something to do with it.

Born in Auckland on 18 November 1924, Shirley celebrated her 100th birthday with her nearest and dearest at her home at Abbeyfield Mata Close, in Tāhunanui last Thursday.

Shirley laughs that the men of the neighbourhood were using the occasion as an excuse to shower kisses on her cheeks, although she didn’t seem to mind too much.

Shirley and her two children moved to Nelson in the 1990s, but she later headed back to Auckland, joining the Abbeyfield community for nine years.

She has always been fiercely independent, still driving until she was 90 and, after, remaining very active, heading out on buses to different parts of Auckland most days.

But after her son Murray retired, Shirley wanted to be closer to family, so moved back to Nelson four years ago, joining Abbeyfield Mata Close.

“As you can see, it’s pretty good,” she quips of her home and the surrounding neighbourhood, who all turned out to celebrate her milestone.

Shirley remembers vividly the best moment in her life – when WWII was declared to be over.

She had been nursing soldiers who had returned from the islands.

“We nursed them at the Ellerslie Racecourse bar because they didn’t know what to do with them,” she says. “All we had was a water trough to wash

So at 5am, a gentle tap on the shoulder roused the soldiers.

“People that had had an operation just got out and danced with somebody else,” she says, remembering the joy everyone felt. “I think that was the best moment of my life,” she recalls, emotions still present almost 80 years later.

Shirley later married and had two children.

“My father was a builder and I married the apprentice,” she recalls of the marriage in 1950.

“Being a builder, we started off with a brand-new house, although it took him two years to finish it.”

Her marriage lasted 11 years, so she raised two children under 10 on her own.

“As sort of a settlement, I had enough money to buy a very, very old house with scrim walls, the kids delighted in pulling scrim off the walls,” she laughs of the Mt Albert home.

We listen…

We’ll deliver exactly the bed you want…

We know beds inside out… because we make them.

Our vegetation team surveys the network regularly, checking for trees & other vegetation that is too close or a risk to the lines.

We send ‘cut and trim’(CT) notices to owners where we find any trees growing too close to our power lines. We are required to do this by law under the Electricity (Hazard from Trees) Regulations. If you receive a CT notice you can choose to have the trees trimmed or felled. The Regulations state that each tree is entitled to one free trim. We keep a record of notices sent to owners along with a record of any trees that have had a free trim or have been felled.

If your tree is eligible for a free trim, our tree contractor will cut the tree back to a safe distance from the lines. You are then responsible for keeping the tree trimmed so it doesn’t grow too close to the power lines again. Any trees notified to you in a CT notice must only be cut by a power lines qualified arborist that is Network Tasman certified. They have the necessary training & specific insulated equipment required to safely cut trees close to live power lines.

Our vegetation surveyors also look for trees that are a high risk to the power lines such as diseased or damaged trees, broken branches etc. Owners of these trees will be contacted by our surveyors to discuss their options. If you notice any trees like this please let our vegetation team know.

It is safer & less expensive to keep your trees clear of power lines – see our website for information on the clearances needed.

Before you plant anything near power lines check the size it will reach at maturity & the clearances required by law from power lines. If it is likely to grow close to the lines in the future we suggest you find an alternative species that won’t grow too close.

Our vegetation team will be happy to answer any questions you may have on trees & power lines: Phone: 0800 508 098 Email: trees@networktasman.co.nz

Shirley then worked as a surgical corsetiere and continued caring for others well into retirement, spending hours volunteering for the local Hospice. Murray recalls Shirley travelling solo through China where she couldn’t speak a word of the language. He says in the last few years, she has shied away from volunteering and being part of clubs as she doesn’t want to feel unreliable if she doesn’t have the energy to attend the regular commitments.

And how did she feel about being the centre of attention for the day?

“A little overwhelmed,” she says. “This is unbelievable.”

“She didn’t realise that she had so many acquaintances and friends,” Murray adds.

Her card from King Charles arrived last Monday on her birthday as did another from the Prime Minister and one from the Governor General.

Shirley was looking forward to a good afternoon nap after the festivities.

Trees and vegetation can cause power cuts. That’s why it is important to manage them so that they don’t grow too close to power lines.

Coldplay connection 25 years in the making KATE RUSSELL It’s 25 years since Nelson man Mike Beever produced, mixed, and even played on Coldplay’s first EP - and now he and his family have just had a once-in-alifetime experience meeting the band.

It was a wet Easter weekend in 1999 when Mike, who was working as a recording engineer in London at the time, recorded tracks for the relatively unknown band.

“They came into the studio and the record company [Fierce Panda] said, ‘We’ve got this band coming in. We think they’re going to be big’. Of course, they said that about most bands.”

Fast-forward to 2024, and Mike was reunited with the now-huge band at one of their Auckland shows earlier this month, with his wife Lucy, daughter Ellie, 16, and son Theo, 13 - who walked away wearing singer Chris Martin’s hat.

With over 100 million albums sold worldwide, Coldplay is one of the best-selling music acts of all time, and their three Auckland shows attracted 150,000 people.

Mike and his family were invited to a 4pm soundcheck as part of the ‘friends and family’ guestlist and “weren’t expecting too much

“But when we walked within about 30 metres of the stage, Chris Martin recognised me straight away. What an experience having your name called out over the PA during soundcheck.”

This was followed by a “surreal” meeting with the band.

“They are just the same as I remember them, very friendly.

Chris jumped down over the safety barriers and took his hat off and plunked it on Theo’s head… and then he sort of said jokingly [about Mike] ‘This guy launched our career’.

“I think up to that point [Ellie and Theo] knew I had some connection with them, but this was proof,” he laughs.

Mike says back when he produced the EP, ‘Brothers and Sisters’, the band was relatively unknown.

“I remember them being funny and relaxed. I was learning as a recording engineer, so I was trying out all these different ideas, and they were open to that.”

Mike remembers driving the band to Oxford for a gig that was attended by

only a handful of people.

“I had the guitarist and the bass player in the back of my car. They had no money. There were about five people at the show, but they weren’t demoralised. They just got on with it and performed.”

Mike says, although the EP didn’t

make a “massive splash” it started a momentum that kept building.

One of the singles went on to enter the UK charts and lead to a record deal with Parlophone.

“At their next gigs there were more and more people there, and then within a couple of months they had a lot of record company interest. They just took off.”

After the recording Mike moved to New Zealand, and they lost touch - but he and Lucy did reconnect with some of the band at their 2016 concert.

He says it was even better this time, having Ellie and Theo with them.

These days Mike is one of only two piano tuners in the Top of the South and spends half his time tuning pianos and the rest writing production music for television.

“I’ve got about 300 tracks now, all published, and snippets of them have been on all these global TV shows - America’s Got Talent, Master Chef and Top Gear. I never know where they’re going to end up.”

In fact, one of the very first tracks he produced is played globally somewhere every 25 minutes.

All-star academic GORDON PREECE Oliver Morton has always been shooting for the stars, and clinching Nelson College dux for 2024 was the final frontier in his schooling tenure.

With an exemplary background in academics, swimming, music and school service, and his responsibilities as the head student, Oliver had rocket fuel for the top gong.

The 18-year-old says it was “an absolute honour and a privilege” to be awarded dux but would’ve been equally stoked if fellow academics like Walter Moloney pipped him at the post.

“I’ve always aspired to do well academically, but I think without having good systems, those goals can’t really be achieved,” he says.

“In terms of dux, I’ve always had an emphasis on consistent study, and I’ve improved on that over my senior years… I liked to study in the mornings, usually between 6am and about 8:30am before I

head off to school.

“I’ve also been involved with the academic committee which is all about how we can improve the academics at Nelson College and make academics exciting, even though some people might not think so.”

With aerospace engineering study a post-college mission, Oliver cut his teeth this year in a University of Canterbury astronomy course alongside his NCEA Level 3 subjects which included physics, chemistry, biology, calculus and art design.

Excellence endorsements for the subjects and the overall Level 3 certificate beckon, pending final results which get unveiled in January.

Oliver has already procured NCEA Levels 1 and 2 with excellence. “[Aerospace engineering is] all about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, using maths and physics, which I absolutely love, and it’s got so many different as-

“It’s not just space, rockets and satellites, but there’s also a lot of things down here on earth that it can help with, such as sustainable farming and national security.”

Oliver says teaching children with disabilities how to swim at a para-athlete camp in Christchurch this year even gave him an engineering epiphany.

“They were super inspiring, and they showed me that as a future engineer I’m going to need to

think about designs and products that can benefit or that can be adaptable for a wide range of people,” he says.

“I’m a swim coach in Nelson as well, and I had to adapt the way I taught to cater to [swimmers’] needs, so that was another fantastic outlet where I got to think about my career more.”

Oliver has three scholarship offers for the University of Canterbury and one for the University of Auckland, which have a $50,000

combined value.

He also has overseas study offers and he will decide later whether to study abroad or in Aotearoa.

Nelson born and bred, Oliver has savoured giving back to Nelson College as its head boy and lauded the staff for their “great techniques” to engage young men.

He plans to pass on his wisdom at his former Hampden Street and Nelson Intermediate schools in the coming weeks, before looking to the sky.

Mayor refuses to hear concerns about airport runway extension MAX FRETHEY

Local Democracy Reporter

Nelson’s mayor has shut down a community’s plea to speak about controversial airport extension plans due to the legal risk it could have for council.

Emotions were running high at the public forum of last week’s joint committee of the Nelson and Tasman councils. Three speakers wished to discuss Nelson Airport and its contentious proposal to extend its runway, but one was barred from presenting while another speaker was cut off during their presentation.

Even before they spoke, elected members debated whether they should be able to present.

The meeting was then closed to the public while the committee took advice on if the presenta-

tions should go ahead.

Nelson Airport’s runway extension would have several impacts on the Tāhunanui community, including extra rules for development in some areas, a small increase in noise, and a re-configuration of a neighbouring golf course.

Given the extent of the effects on Tāhunanui, the chair for the suburb’s business and citizens association wants Nelson City Council to advocate on behalf of the community.

“Right now, we feel we are … being thrown under the bus,” said Jacinda Stevenson.

“It would appear that no one recently ... is looking after Tāhunanui’s interests and working to facilitate and support growth in our beachside community.”

The association claimed that Nelson Airport has not adequately engaged the community and it wanted

a more explicit requirement for the company to positively engage with residents.

Nelson Mayor Nick Smith said the issues raised by Jacinda were “absolutely critical”.

However, he said that the hearing was the place for the association to raise its views on the runway extension, not the committee meeting. Nelson City Council, a 50 per cent shareholder of the airport, has delegated its ability to oversee the runway extension proposal to an independent panel of commissioners.

More than 500 submissions were made on the proposal, known as Private Plan Change 30, and a subsequent hearing has taken place, with commissioners currently deliberating those submissions. Their recommendation is expected later this year.

Nick said if the council heard the opinions of some but not others, it would undermine the quasi-judicial process and open the council up to legal challenge.

He ended Jacinda’s presentation after she mentioned the airport runway extension for the second time.

“It’s not proper, and it’s against the advice that we’ve received, for you to be able to use public forum to raise issues that are before those hearings panels. It’s about fair process.”

He added that it would be “unlawful” for the airport to engage in discussions about the plan change with the community once its application was lodged.

Steve Cross, chair of the Tāhuna Beach Camp, was barred from speaking by Nick because his presentation commented extensively on the runway extension and its impacts, while also being in breach of council’s rules that presentations are not “disrespectful or offensive”.

The status of more than 100 of the camp’s long-term residents are impacted by the runway extension proposal due to a bureaucratic technicality. Similar to

Jacinda, Steve said he wanted to advocate for “good neighbour” provisions to be written into the upcoming statement of expectation between the councils and its holding company for the city’s port and airport companies.

Steve’s presentation has been rescheduled for a February joint committee meeting – before the statement of expectation is adopted, but after the hearings panel has made its recommendation – to not “prejudice” the process.

Lewis Solomon, chair of the Nelson Airport Noise Action Council, gave his presentation unimpeded as it did not reference the ongoing plan change process.

He also called for the airport to “act in good faith” when it deals with residents, specifically in relation to noise limits.

Later in the meeting, Nick also directed Nelson Airport board chair Quinton Hall not to mention the plan change after he brought it up during the airport’s 6-monthly update.

Nelson museum exploring all options to plug $6m hole MAX FRETHEY

Local Democracy Reporter

The Nelson Provincial Museum is “exploring every possible option” to plug the $6 million hole in its funding for its new storage facility, while the project has been put on pause.

It had applied to the Regional Infrastructure Fund for a concessionary loan, but success was not guaranteed and there were concerns about the museum acquiring “significant” debt.

The museum had also applied for an extra grant of more than $400,000 from Lotteries, despite already securing $300,000 and signals that funding would be capped at $400,000.

Museum chief executive Lucinda Blackley-Jimson told the Nelson and Tasman councils last week that “doing nothing was not an option”.

Government’s Regional Culture and Heritage Fund which was shut down earlier this year.

“It’s our understanding that, at present, there are no plans to re-open the fund,” Lucinda told elected members.

In addition, following conversations with Ministry staff, “it doesn’t appear that this kind of project will be a priority going forward.”

If the funding cannot be sourced, the project might have to be delayed until the funding environment changes, or re-worked to be deliverable within the already-secured funds.

But with other major museum projects currently taking place, like those in Christchurch and Invercargill, even if Nelson’s ARC facility was delayed until more funding was made available, it would unlikely be the “first cab off the rank”.

“The [Tasman Bays Heritage] Trust has taken the step of pausing the project while exploring options,” she said.

“The trust is very cognizant though that costs continue to rise and that there is no cheaper or better time to build than now. We know that this is a must-do project and not a nice-to-have.”

The museum is seeking to build a new Archives, Research, and Collection (ARC) Facility in Nelson’s central city so it can move out of its current aged research facility in Isel Park.

The Isel Park building is “severely compromised” with ongoing leaks, asbestos in the roof, ageing wiring, along with seismic and flood risks that are threatening the museum’s $20 million collection, which contains some items of global significance.

It had been hoped that the $6 million gap would be filled by the

Lucinda Blackley-Jimson museum chief executive A delay could also involve upgrading the roof of the Isel Park facility to buy the building and the collection some more time.

And if the project was re-worked, it would have some “implications” for the design of the facility, and the museum was working through those options with experts.

The project is shovel-ready, pending a building consent that is expected to be granted imminently.

Councillor Rachel Sanson suggested the museum explore whether additional grants were available for sustainable, low-emission buildings, or whether including a climatorium on the ARC Facility might also provide additional funding avenues outside of typical culture-focused funding streams.

In response to a question from councillor Mel Courtney, the museum team confirmed they were “staying strong” despite the challenges, which Courtney was “relieved” to hear.

Despite the financial challenge, fundraising was continuing with community events planned for 2025.

The project has its own Givealittle page at givealittle.co.nz/cause/ arcproject.

In 1983, Council declared the city a nuclear weapon free zone. Like many people across NZ, Nelsonians were concerned about a proliferation of nuclear weapons. Port visits by US warships had been controversial for many years. At issue was whether they were nuclear armed as well as nuclear powered. American policy was to “neither confirm nor deny”. Most US allies chose not to ask – an arrangement questioned by an increasing number of New Zealanders. Widespread protests greeted the arrival of the nuclear-powered frigate USS Texas in August of 1983, a precursor of the wider anti-nuclear stance that would play a prominent role during the 1984 general election.

Nelson Matters Hon Dr Nick Smith

IMPROVING WATER QUALITY IN THE MAITAI Council has invested $4 million on aerating the Maitai Dam to increase the security of Nelson’s safe drinking water and to improve the ecological health of the dam reservoir and river.

The project, to be commissioned next month, has involved installing 75kW air compressors with associated infrastructure.

A 90mm-diameter sparge pipe has been laid along the base of the reservoir. The new compressors will pump up to 240 litres of air per second through discharge nozzles in the pipe to create bubble plumes that will increase the mixing and oxygen saturation of the stored water. Council has partnered with Nelson’s Cawthron Institute to monitor the water quality over the next two years and help us determine the most efficient air flows to achieve the targeted dissolved oxygen levels.

Stratification of the dam water that occurs over summer is the reason for this aeration project. The upper layers of the reservoir warm in late spring and, with warm water being lighter than cold, form a separate layer. The lower reaches are deprived of oxygen and have increased concentrations of natural contaminants from sediment at the bottom of the reservoir. This makes the lower layers of water more difficult and expensive to treat for the city’s supply and less healthy ecologically for release into the Maitai River. Dissolved oxygen in rivers and lakes is essential for fish and other aquatic organisms.

The stratification problem solves itself each winter when the upper layers cool and naturally mix with the lower layers.

However, it is in summer when we most need to use water from the dam. The aeration project means we will have access in summer to more better-quality water for the city water supply and for release into the river.

I love practical environment initiatives like this, based on good science and innovative engineering. Whether it be our all-electric bus fleet, the efficient cleanup of the contaminated wood waste at Tāhunanui Beach, our gas wells reducing greenhouse gases released from the York Valley Landfill or this Maitai aeration project, Council is doing a lot of good environment stuff.

Op-shop buy a piece of family history SARA HOLLYMAN One of the things Nicola Woods enjoys most about her role as manager of Richmond’s SPCA Op Shop is hearing about the happy memories items evoke for purchasers.

This was evident when a Monaco resident Ross Harley discovered a painting of his grandparents’ Nelson Lakes property hanging on the wall in the store.

Nicola says people had looked at the painting of Kerr Homestead because they recognised the area, but Ross recognised the Lake Rotoiti homestad and asked to take a closer look.

That particular painting had only been hanging on the wall for about a month, she says.

“He was happy to find a piece of his family history,” Nicola says.

Ross says for the very reasonable price of $10, it was worth every penny to retrieve another piece of his family history.

From time-to-time an object stumps the team and their customers about what it actually is.

“Quite often we have a chat and a laugh about an object, we try and work out what it might be.”

But it only takes one person who is familiar with it to solve the mystery. And that’s what happened with an object that Nicola still finds tricky to put an exact name on.

“It was an attractive piece made from wood and metal, I hadn’t ever seen one before and we didn’t know what it was, then somebody came along and said, ‘my dad had one of those, he was a boat builder, you use it to shave oak by hand’.”

And so the mystery was solved.

Nicola hopes shoppers continue to find items that bring them happy memories, all while supporting local animals through their purchases.

For now, Ross says the painting will stay propped up next to the television, unless any of the younger generation show a “particular interest” in it, then he would be happy to pass it on.

A transformative shift for Nelson’s steel industry ET Engineering had been a trusted name in Nelson's engineering sector since its establishment in 1997. Originally offering welding and maintenance services to a range of industries, the company became synonymous with quality and reliability. However, when Charlton Brownrigg took ownership in 2018, the business began a period of growth and transformation that has continued to evolve. Fast forward to 2024, and ET Engineering is now IFC Steel Limited—a name that reflects both the company’s dedication to construction-ready steel and its advanced capabilities.

From humble beginnings to being an industry leader, IFC Steel has long been a versatile player in the region's engineering landscape.

The company has built a strong reputation for quality craftsmanship, supporting everyone from

local businesses to individual customers needing steel products, trailers, and custom fabrication. When Charlton acquired the business, he was determined to both preserve its heritage and propel it forward. "I saw the potential to expand our capabilities, particularly in structural steel for large construction projects. Our rebranding to IFC Steel was part of that vision, signalling our shift to high-quality, constructionready steel products."

IFC Steel stands for “Issued For Construction,” a term that signals when final, approved drawings are ready for a construction team to use. This name change aligns with the company’s increasing focus on high-value projects. The jewel in IFC Steel’s crown is its latest acquisition: the Ficep Flex 1201 FRC CNC Beamline, a stateof-the-art machine manufactured

This model is the latest in thermal coping technology and represents a significant upgrade for IFC Steel, allowing for faster, more accurate, and more efficient processing of structural steel beams.

“The Flex is a game-changer, not just for us but for the entire Top of the South region,” says Charlton. "There’s no other machine

like it here. It allows us to take raw steel beams and transform them into precise, constructionready components with incredible accuracy and speed." One of the most impressive features of the CNC beamline is its multiaxis robotic arm, which can make precise cuts on all sides of steel beams. Capable of handling steel profiles ranging from 80mm x 10mm up to 1200mm x 610mm, the beamline can cut intricate

shapes, slots, and holes with ease.

“It’s transformed how we work with steel. With the Flex, we’ve essentially removed the need for repetitive manual processes and it produces a consistently highquality product that our fabricators can immediately use.”

“Our goal was not only to improve our operations but to bring more steel processing work into Nelson. We’re able to keep projects local now, which means

more jobs for the community and a stronger local economy. Additionally, we’ve already started partnering with other local engineering companies, who see the benefit of accessing high-quality, processed steel close to home.”

The efficiencies gained from the CNC beamline also mean that IFC Steel can competitively tender for larger projects, such as the upcoming supermarket constructions and the Nelson Hospital upgrades.

Installation of the CNC beamline wasn’t without its challenges.

While a purpose-built workshop was considered, a conventional warehouse in Hope ultimately provided a more viable solution.

“The move to Hope was a major endeavour. We essentially had to redesign the space from scratch to suit our operational needs.

This included everything from digging a pit for collecting offcuts from the beamline to installing a completely new power supply to handle the machine’s electrical requirements.”

The facility now provides a flex-

The machine’s automated capabilities make it especially efficient for producing large quantities of identical parts, ideal for industrial applications. “Our new machine allows us to explore various industries and broaden our client base. We are hopeful

that the CNC beamline will be a resource for any business in the area that needs high-quality steel fabrication. By bringing this technology to Nelson, we’re raising the bar for what’s possible in regional engineering.”

Moving forward, the team remains focused on growth, innovation, and quality. They have

ambitions to make IFC Steel a true one-stop shop for all steel processing needs in the Top of the South. “We want to be the go-to provider of structural steel-processing in the region. Our vision is not just about growing our business but about contributing to the success of other companies in the area. We’re here to collaborate, innovate, and drive positive change within our industry.”

Reflecting on the journey, Charlton expresses gratitude for the clients, suppliers, and community partners who have supported IFC Steel throughout their evolution.

“Our staff have also been instrumental in helping us reach this point and the support from our customers, who have trusted us with their projects, has also been invaluable. We’re looking forward to growing alongside our community and continuing to deliver top-quality steel fabrication and processing.”

Mural draws on stream guardianship GORDON PREECE A full wheelie bin of aquatic trash collected in 30 minutes from a section of the Poorman Valley Stream drew inspiration for a mural with a litter-free message.

The stream clean-up and study was undertaken by Broadgreen Intermediate School students in Term 1 this year with Whakatū Nelson Enviroschools staff Rick Field and Emma Reeves, and the detritus discovery left students crying a river.

Broadgreen visual arts teacher Jeana Freeman says the students noticed that pedestrians on the riverside pathways were discarding rubbish into the stream, and thought a mural could make them second guess their unruly behaviour.

Its designs and message ‘please don’t drop rubbish in our stream, ko koe te kaitiaki o te awa [you are the guardian of the river]’, was spearheaded by her students along with Nayland Primary and College students.

Nelson City Council granted $750 for the mural.

A blessing of the mural on the Poorman Valley Stream walking bridge in between Broadgreen Intermediate and Nayland Primary took place on 20 November.

Ngāti Tama member Moetu Tuuta spoke of the importance of preserving the awa (river) since it had provided him with memories from his time at Nayland Primary.

“This is my awa, I am the river and the river is me,” he says. “Where it comes from, where it’s going, and what’s in between it, it’s important to all of us to honour this little awa. It did not look like this in my time, it was a wee bit worse. It has definitely improved because there are more people taking notice nowadays, and because all the schools are here, and they’ve all made a difference.”

Proudly brought to you by...

‘Spud Monday’ – unique to Nelson ROBYN PARKES ‘Spud Monday’, the first Monday in August was, for a long time, a public holiday, observed only in the Nelson district.

Although initially seen by some to be inconvenient and unnecessary it became very popular, with sports fixtures and other events organised around the district. ‘Six a side’ ladies hockey tournaments and ‘seven a side’ football, were held predominantly at Botanical Reserve and Trafalgar Park each year. Almost every community had one or more events planned for each holiday. In 1923, Motueka ran a golf tournament and tombstone competition, 1924 - Appleby Gun Club held a very popular shooting event, 1926 - Wakefield ran a bowls tournament where winners received a cup and runner-ups a large po-

tato. Tahuna organised a beach day gala with proceeds to go to Tahuna Fire Brigade in 1928 and wrestling occurred at the Theatre Royal in 1936.

But what was Spud Monday’s origin? Over the years there have been two main versions. No.1 – it was introduced after early settlers, who had run out of food and were so hungry that they dug up their seed potatoes to eat. No.2 - in 1871 the British Parliament established four new public holidays in the year, Easter Monday, Whit Monday, the first Monday in August (Lammas Monday), and Boxing Day. Mr Samuel Strong, a ledger keeper for Nathaniel Edwards and Co, after returning to Nelson following a holiday in England, was sent a copy of the London Times in which the new holidays were mentioned. The August holiday

A quaint observation. Photo: Akaroa Mail and Banks Peninsula Advertiser 1930. in England gave workers who had toiled all through the summer months a well-needed break.

Mr Strong showed this paper to employees in the various departments of the warehouse, explaining that he thought, it would be a great benefit to workers in Nelson if they could observe a new holiday as well, especially when

they had to work a lot of overtime during June and July when stocktaking and balancing was done.

Assisted by Mr T. Usher, two petitions were prepared to present to Nelson Provincial Council, one from wholesalers and one from retailers. Strong solicited signatures from wholesalers and Usher from the retailers. Usher’s success

was, in his own words, a failure with only three retailers signing.

The Provincial Council accepted the petitions and granted and gazetted the holiday. Initially, not all places of business closed.

Coincidentally, the first Monday in August was also the day to plant potatoes for an early crop.

As it fell on the same day as the new holiday it eventually became more commonly known as ‘Spud Monday’.

By 1938, owing to the 40-hour and five-day week, the continuation of the holiday became uncertain. In November, a unanimous decision was made by employers that they would no longer recognise ‘Spud Monday’ as a holiday.

As a result, there was huge public opposition. Many businesses continued to observe the day but eventually it was completely abandoned.

Nelson joins the Parkrun revolution New Zealand’s 55th Parkrun kicked off its first race at Neale Park in the weekend with 286 runners, walkers and parents with pushchairs, competing.

Organiser Ruth Rogers says the fastest competitor crossed the finish line in 16 minutes, while walkers at the rear took just under an hour to complete the course.

“One hundred and thirty-four participants had never attended a Parkrun before and ages who attended were from under 10s to 75-plus!

“It was a very positive and

encouraging atmosphere.”

Each week, New Zealand now has nearly 10,000 participants taking part in a Parkrun and Ruth says globally there are more than 2,300 Parkrun locations and 10 million registered participants.

From now on, a Parkrun will be held every week at Neale Park in Nelson, beginning at 8am. The event is free, but Ruth encourages participants to register before they first compete.

More information about the Nelson Parkrun can be found at https://www. parkrun.co.nz/nealepark/.

Schools from as far afield as Murchison and Collingwood travelled to Saxton Field for the 25th annual Hira School Football Tournament last Friday.

The event was the brainchild of former Hira School principal Tonnie Uiterwijk and these days he is back as organiser on the day.

“I just wanted to get kids into football back then. We started off with just eight teams. Today was all about having fun,” enthuses Tonnie, who was keeping track of the 57 teams from 18 schools.

There were two sections, competitive and social. Seven players a side over 12 minutes with no half-time. Each side played

at least four games and some proved very competitive. Nelson Intermediate supplied the referees. Hira, which has a role of just over 60 pupils, fielded two teams as well as running the event.

“It is one of our major fundraisers for the year. Each team pays a small entry fee and we sell sausages and juices as well,” says Hira School principal Nic Moynihan. And they were in hot demand as the weather came to the party.

Richmond Primary School was the team to beat, having won the competitive section for the past three years. This time it was their Richmond United team that faced Saint Paul’s Blue in the final and won 3-0 to retain the trophy.

New faces lead Nelson’s Rylock sea swim series PETER GIBBS

mid-harbour, with Terry Bone ahead at the turn and holding the advantage around the second mark before the group stretched out heading north towards the finish.

The going was harder against the tide, and as the group passed the Boat Shed, Finn Bryant cruised into the lead. Terry said it looked easy for the teenager, but Finn expected every moment to have his wings clipped. It wasn’t to be – Finn held on to the end, winning his first-ever swim in the series

Finn Bryant was often in the top ten finishers in last summer’s Rylock Swim Series, contested each week from the Nelson Yacht Club.

A promising race in the Banana Boat Big Tahuna, raced off Tahuna Beach three weeks ago, hinted that the 17-year-old was ready to step up a level this summer and he did just that at race two of the Rylock Series on Thursday.

A group of half a dozen led the long race out to the first buoy in

and now holding the yellow jersey going into race three.

Next was Eddie Swain, followed

by Bay of Plenty swimmer Mia Pugh, Jasper Sneddon, Marcel Kepess, Lilly Claridge, Max Stanton and Nia Linyard.

The women’s competition is intriguing, with two-time season winner Lilly under threat from Mia, who will be in Nelson for the summer, and 14-year-old Nia, who is growing stronger all the time. Roger Matheson opted to change his focus from the long to

the short course races this summer. The 63-year-old couldn’t hold off Ara Wyatt, 14, who raced through the 350m course in a touch over four minutes, with Roger seven seconds behind.

In a democratic spread of ages, Phoebe Diamond, 12, was next, followed by Malcolm Fairhall, 60, Marco Snedden, 11 and Rosie Claridge, 13.

Elsewhere in the competition, this summer ushers in the first competition yet in the women’s 70+ age group, with training part-

ners Odette Llewellin and Lesley Stevens going head to head.

Representing sponsors Rylock, the Clements brothers Philip and Steve showed their devotion to the series, taking out the top two places in M60-69.

The closest competition of the night was in M30-39, where Rowan Gardner took the win over Fenn Anderson by less than a second, pointing to a closely-fought series ahead.

The series continues weekly through to March.

Ring-in shares in upset national golf tournament victory STEPHEN STUART Nelson golfer Marilyn Young wasn’t expecting to win a national title, in fact she wasn’t even planning to play in the Senior Women’s Handicap Foursomes Tournament in Motueka last week.

“I was a ring-in,” reveals Marilyn.

“I got a call to pair with Judy Bray who was coming down from Waitangi and then her partner had to pull out,” she says.

The new partnership clicked well enough in the seeding round to join 15 other teams in division one.

They progressed to the matchplay semi-finals on day four and came up against the top qualifiers, Motueka Golf Club’s Ladies president Sandy LePine and her Tasman Golf Club counterpart Dawn Carter.

They were also a late pairing.

“We were definitely the underdogs. They were a delightful couple.

“Being a handicap event they had to a give us a few shots and we made the most of them,” says Marilyn, after they stunned the local pair four and two.

That took Marilyn and Judy through to the final on Thursday afternoon.

Motueka’s Jane Adams and Natalee Reed from Greenacres Golf Club, were on course for victory when they were three holes up with just four left to play.

But the makeshift pairing then won the next three holes and squared the last to send the final to overtime.

They went back to the first hole, the 19th, where Marilyn’s approach was short of the green.

“But Judy stepped up and made the long putt.

“It was amazing,” says Marilyn, who only took up golf when she was 50.

“I hadn’t bought a ticket for the prize-giving dinner so I had to race back to Tahuna to shower and change,” says the former hockey and squash player.

The Nelson Golf Club member was lavish in her praise of the host club.

“The Motueka course was in perfect condition, the event was very efficiently run and the competitors were very friendly.”

As they went their separate ways several were quick to comment they would see each other again at the weekend.

It is a quick back up as the 36 hole top of the South Island club Champion of Champions tournament is on at Rarangi on Sunday.

Marilyn qualified after being runner-up in the Nelson club championship.

Pitcher makes rare Nelson appearance STEPHEN STUART Doing the hard yards has paid off for Nelson softball pitcher Josh Kelly.

The 24-year-old had no inkling he would be named in the latest Black Sox squad last week, one of six new players who has come through the Softball New Zealand pathway system. He is off to Australia on Thursday for the Canberra Skins Tournament in what has been described as a development squad.

“It is still a black shirt,” says a delighted Josh, during a break between matches against Marlborough at the Saxton Diamond last Sunday.

Josh travels to Christchurch every Saturday to play club softball for Rolleston and was given a dispensation to represent Nelson in the Seddon Shield clash at the weekend. Fortunately, it was on Sunday.

“It has been six years since I last played for Nelson,” reveals Josh, who was a Junior Black Sox before a serious injury forced him out of the game for four years.

“Back then I didn’t care about my body. I didn’t do my recovery but I have come back stronger and wiser. You have to look after your body.”

Working as a logger has helped develop that strength, while he does plenty of running and gym work as well.

Josh acknowledges he is one of the shorter elite pitchers going round.

“It would be nice to have another foot in height. You just have to use your body differently,” says the Waimea College product.

It is no coincidence that Black Sox coach Thomas Makea also coached Josh as a junior softball international.

“Thomas rang and told me ‘just keep working and doing your own thing’.”

Josh did just that for Nelson in the opening match on his return against Marlborough, striking out 10 batters over the seven innings.

He worked his way into the game and later confirmed he probably needs to make faster

starts. Nelson beat Marlborough 1-0 thanks to a fielding error.

The pitcher would have loved to have had a bat as well.

“I always want to get out there and have a whack.”

But given his importance as a pitcher, he wasn’t allowed to do that.

Nelson coach Marty Grant, the legendary Black Sox pitcher, was just glad to have Josh back for Sunday.

“We just wanted him to come and be himself and let it loose.

He did a great job for us,” says Marty.

The feeling is mutual with Josh crediting Marty for helping him on the comeback trail.

“We are really proud of him in Nelson softball. It was brave of him to make a commitment to try and make it back to the top team,” enthuses Marty.

Josh came on as a relief pitcher in the bottom of the fourth innings in the second match but there was no stopping Marlborough this time with the visitors winning 11-4.

Last week’s solutions

There was plenty of trash talk before the much-awaited clash between the Nelson and Canterbury Superstock teams at the Milestone Homes Top of the South Speedway earlier this month.

The Canterbury Beagles insisted they hadn’t made the long haul to come second.

Beagles spokesman Jay “Huggie” Holtham described the approach of his five car team as more technical than crash bash.

Crafty might have been more apt as he and two other drivers had slipped up to the local track for the previous meeting to check out the circuit and probably the local competition as well.

The approach of the revived Nelson Tigers, or Cubs, was more direct.

“No fear. Everyone has a can-do attitude and just make it happen.

The big tigers versus the little beagles. They can go back to the pond,” says a fired-up Alex Hill.

At 29, the Superstock Appleby lap recordholder is hardly a cub and talks about some of his teammates as young fellas.

in the one-off 10 lap teams race.

Tiger Cubs Captain Blake Hearne was put in the wall at one stage and so was the Beagles’ Jake Berry. The race defining move came from Riley Evans who shunted three of the cubs in one hit and surged from fourth to first. He then held on to win the race for the visitors.

And how’s this, the Beagles star is a professional greyhound trainer so is used to high speed. He’s a regular winner too, lying fourth in the national premiership standings.

Riley was gracious in victory, saying the Tiger Cubs were competitive and they would like to host them in Christchurch next year.

“Brutal”. That’s how an emotional Blake summed up the provincial clash.

“I wanted to send Riley in to the fence, but I just couldn’t catch him at the right time. That’s team racing. It was probably an ever-closer contest than we expected,” says Blake.

After his first taste of that, he can’t wait to eventually compete in “the Superstock Mecca” Palmerston North.
