Paying it forward to heat homes ANNE HARDIE More people are turning off the heating in their homes as the cost-of-living bites deeper and the Fifeshire Foundation is looking for more superannuants who do not need their winter energy payment to pay it forward and help keep families warm.

Last year, the foundation ran a winter grants programme based on superannuants donating their government winter energy payment and it became part of a fund of nearly $10,000. That helped 161 families warm their homes by either covering some of their power costs or receiving one of the 73 loads of firewood delivered around Nelson and Tasman.

Georgie’s lasting legacy for hospice SARA HOLLYMAN Georgia Ferris lived her life “full send”, with no time for doing things half-assed, according to her twin sister Liv. She made the

most of the life she’d been given, although it was fleeting.

Georgia, Georgie, Gee, is described as F***n insane, stubborn, headstrong and charitable,

by Liv and their mum Robyn. But

LOCALLY OWNED AND OPERATED

above all, she was determined.

Georgie passed away in November at age 27 after a long and public battle with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and, even though she is no longer here, she continues

to make a huge impact.

While Nelson Tasman Hospice was involved with assisting Georgie for the better part of three years, her final months were spent at Stoke’s hospice facility, a

place that Robyn says gave herself and Liv a second family.

“We embraced hospice because the minute you walk through the

“Infrastructure so that our ten years and possibly 20 years is as good as it can be.”

“More businesses in the CBD and the Stoke area… and resolving homelessness.”

“Easing the congestion…

I have to leave well before work because I get stuck in traffic… also mental health services, because that gets overlooked sometimes.”

“Basic infrastructure… and the beautification of the CBD is really important because it’s fallen behind in time compared to other cities.”

Georgie’s lasting legacy for hospice FROM PAGE 1 door you are greeted with love and you’re coming home to a really special part of your family,” Robyn says. “And you know that when you walk through those doors, everything’s going to be okay.”

Gee’s deteriorating health came with many sleepless nights, but rather than dwell and feel sorry for herself, she turned to colouring and then drawing, eventually penning intricate mandalas and works of art herself by hand. She began drawing pieces for others to frame and then someone suggested she turn them into a colouring book to sell, so that’s what she did. Robyn says the book is a testament to Georgia’s giving side, as she decided to gift it to Nelson Tasman Hospice in perpetuity for them to continue selling as a fundraiser.

“I think that’s what people will remember about Georgia, is how much she wanted to make other people smile, or just to ease some of the pain.” “And it’s a giggle,” Liv adds of the adults-only book.

“If you know Gee you know that everything’s all roses, and it’s all pretty on the outside and there’s a subtle ‘f**k’ in there.”

“There’s definitely two levels to this book,” Robyn says. “There are people who need some time

out, and to be able to remove themselves from a situation.

Then there’s the fundraising side of it, and knowing that it’s come from someone who has has been through the hospital system and understands.”

Gee’s room at hospice was a place she had full permission to make her own, masking the walls with fairy lights and photos, and even bringing in a mini fridge.

“I had to get a bigger car because we were doing two or three loads backwards and forwards to get her stuff to hospice,” Robyn laughs. But it’s just another thing the family say makes hospice such a special place. Liv says, after their time there Gee may be responsible for a huge number of people having “very unhealthy addictions” to Peter Alexander pyjamas. Because she couldn’t go out shopping and was in bed a lot of the time, it was a way she could look and feel better.

“Look good, feel better. That whole saying goes for so many things,” Robyn says. “Whether you’re ill or you’re really struggling mentally or physically, you look good, you feel better. And for her, it was her Peter Alexander pyjamas.”

Gee, always wanting to do “little extra things” for the hospice and staff that gave so much to her, took it upon herself to organise

“When you have the CEO of hospice turn up in his pyjamas, and the charge nurse in her pyjamas you know that they really kind of loved her,” Robyn says. “Because

not everybody would do that for someone.”

Hospice clinical services manager & clinical psychologist, Dr Lea Galvin, says hospice worked with Gee and her family/friends for a significant period of time to support Gee to “live well”. She says living well with a life-limiting illness involves many differ-

ent specialists to ensure that the person and their whānau are able to meet their goals. “Goals can be as diverse as managing pain, travelling to a bucket list destination, buying the perfect Peter Alexander PJs, and, in Gee’s case, living every second with dignity, compassion for others and having a good laugh along the way. Supporting patients and whānau can be hard, we care deeply about the people who need us and Gee and her family were no exception.

“While Gee is no longer physically with us, she has contributed to how we at NTH understand life and death and she and her family will forever be a part of us.”

Robyn and Liv hope that people will get out and get themselves or their loved one a copy of Gee’s book, which they have oficially launched as part of May’s Hands up for Hospice campaign.

“We just want people to buy it and enjoy that legacy that she’s left behind. We want people to be able to support hospice in Georgia’s name,” Robyn says. “Everybody wanted to see her live her lifetime in the time that she had left, and she did, she lived a lifetime in 27 years, and this is a way she can keep giving back.”

Runway extension hearing proves ‘emotional’ The “emotional” hearing for Nelson Airport’s private plan change request and notice of requirement ran for five days last week.

The changes would provide the airport with the necessary planning approvals to support its future operations – including the ability to extend the main existing runway to the north within the next 10-15 years.

The airport highlighted its importance to the regional economy and argued to the panel of three commissioners that an extended runway would be safer and is expected to cater to next-generation, low emission aircraft.

However, swathes of Tāhunanui, including the campground, would also become subject to new restrictions imposed by new air noise boundaries.

Tāhuna Beach Holiday Park chief executive David Pattinson said he was “gravely concerned” about the impact of the development restrictions would have on the park, such as limiting the construction of much-needed new ablution blocks.

However, he also raised concerns about the future of the holiday park’s 115 long-term residents who could be facing eviction thanks to a “unique” combination of the sought designation chang-

David Pattinson said he was “gravely concerned” about the impact of restrictions.

The council is due to present on the situation to the independent

commissioners on Thursday.

The Nelson Golf Club called the runway extension an “existential” threat – the runway extension would cut the golf course “in two” – and also submitted against the airport’s proposal.

Golf club leadership and members told the panel that the club provided an important role in the region, providing a space for dozens of community groups and playing a central role in raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for charity.

The Tāhunanui Business and Citizens Association also opposed the plans because of the development restrictions that would be placed over parts of the suburb which would contribute to the area’s deprivation, said chair Jacinda Stevenson.

Dozens of other individual submitters also voiced their concerns

about increased noise from aircraft, development restrictions, environmental effects, and community engagement.

The hearing has been paused after Nelson Airport’s counsel suggested a 6-week break to allow further engagement between the

airport, the holiday park, the golf club, and council, to try and find outcomes more palatable to all parties.

Ngawhatu donation ‘passes the torch’ ELISE VOLLWEILER The options may have run out for Nelson’s Ngawhatu pool, but the committee has made one final decision that gives a huge funding boost to the decades-long efforts of neighbouring Motueka to secure a pool of its own.

Last week, the Ngawhatu Pool Users Inc committee met formally for the last time, to transfer the contents of the organisation’s bank account – more than $400,000 – to the Motueka pool fund.

Chairperson Sarah Kennedy says that, after a lot of debate, the committee voted on this path as the “best way to pass the torch”.

“We’re really happy that the spirit of the Ngawhatu pool, when it was set up 20 years ago, is being honoured.”

The 20m by 7m pool was originally part of the Ngawhatu Psychiatric Hospital, and when the hospital was closed in 1998, a “small but very determined” committee of volunteers came together to keep the swimming pool run-

The Ngawhatu pool committee met with the Motueka pool committee on Saturday at the proposed site of Motueka’s future aquatic centre, to celebrate the significant boost to the latter’s coffers. From left are Ngawhatu’s Chris Pearmain, Linda Ballard, Fred Hickling (Motueka committee chairperson), Jos Pattison, Sarah Kennedy, Deirdre Lusby and Thelma Creighton.

He named Hugh Simonsen, Judith Polaschek, Thelma Creighton and Peter Malone as some of the stalwarts who pushed for the cause. The pool was reopened in 2002 and was used by more than 30 groups, such as Arthritis New Zealand and the Nelson MS Society, for its therapeutic properties.

It was run entirely by volunteers

who worked on a roster system.

Although the committee fought exhaustively to find options to keep the pool going, increasing operational costs and complications meant that the pool was eventually closed in 2015, which was “the hardest decision we’ve ever made”, Sarah says.

The next step was to decide what to do with their operational funds, which, after several years sitting untouched and accruing interest in a bank account, had grown

to about $403,000.

The committee discussed divesting the money to their user groups, but Sarah said that not many of the pool’s users were still involved with those groups, so ultimately that didn’t feel like the right path. They met with Motueka Pool committee chairperson Fred Hickling last October, and eventually the Ngawhatu Pool Users Inc voted that gifting the money to advance the committee’s 25-year mission to establish an indoor community pool was

the best way to respect the spirit of Ngawhatu.

“It’s time for the community to have one,” Jos summarises.

The Motueka aquatic centre, which received widespread support in the Tasman District Council’s draft ten-year plan, is forecast to cost $20m, about a quarter of which is earmarked to come from community-raised funds. The Ngawhatu donation is included in this category, and Fred says it is an “enormous boost” to the fundraising.

Museum ARC secures further funding The Nelson Provincial Museum has received a $10,000 boost to its Archive, Research, and Collection facility project from the Nelson Historical Society as part of the Society’s 70th birthday celebrations.

The Society’s financial support contributes to the museum’s mission to fulfil its mission to care for, strengthen, and

make widely accessible, the taonga and heritage collections of Nelson Tasman. Currently, over 200,000 irreplaceable taonga and treasured objects in their collection, including a UNESCO-inscribed photographic collection, are housed in a flood-prone, leaking, and earthquake-vulnerable building riddled with asbestos. It has

also recently suffered damage, which saw staff racing against the clock to rescue and protect vulnerable treasures. The new state-of-the-art facility will be housed closer to the museum on Church Street, on land currently used as a car park. The total construction cost is $14.9 million, with $8.5 million of funding already secured.

Nelson’s newest businesses KATE RUSSELL

Well-being wins for Nelson students KATE RUSSELL Positive chalk messages, hundreds of hot chocolates, and ‘Friendship Thursdays’ are being served up to Nelson College for Girls’ students, thanks to its well-being committee.

The committee is now in its third year, and Year 13 co-leader Siena Hemingway says it’s all about making students feel welcome and included in every aspect of school life.

“It’s so important. I remember being really shy when I was in Year 9, so this is a great way to bring students together.”

There are 30 students on the committee, and it is so popular that they had 70 apply to join it this year.

“We have a mixture of Year 7 to Year 13 students, and we meet once a week to brainstorm ideas,” Siena says.

One of those ideas was to hold an ‘anti-bullying week’ last week coincide with Pink

Shirt Day on Friday, 17 May. Each day there was a different activity, including chalk drawing in the back quad, movies, friendship bracelet making, colouring in, and hot chocolates.

“There were lots of nice messages with the chalk drawing… I remember feeling very good afterward,” she says.

“We also served up 350 hot chocolates on Thursday thanks to our youth workers.”

They concluded the week on Friday with music, a bake sale, sausage sizzle, face painting, and banner making - all while donning pink clothing.

Siena says they will be hosting ‘Friendship Thursdays’ every week and hope to organise a pyjama day in the near future.

“Well-being is schoolwide, and this initiative is far-reaching. It brings people together as well as bringing awareness to mental health.”

The Nelson region is set to get some new retail and grocery shops this year, including several big-name brands which have been announced this month.

Discount grocery store Save More will be opening a shop at 60 Achilles Ave this August and will sell clearance groceries at discounted prices.

The brand already has two stores in Christchurch and one in Ashburton.

Chemist Warehouse has confirmed they will be opening a store in the Nelson Tasman area, although the exact location and opening date are still unknown at this stage, according to their spokesperson.

“There will be a store opening,” they told Nelson Weekly.

“Unfortunately, we do not have any further information regarding the store location… we do not have a time or date set up as yet.”

Meanwhile, JB Hi-Fi and Toyworld will both be opening at Nelson Junction this year, Gibbons Holdings has confirmed.

This will be the first JB Hi-Fi store in the Top of the South, and it will sell tech, home appliances, music, and movies.

Devon Bakery has also opened a new city shop at 173 Hardy St. Their other popular bakery remains open at 60 Waimea Rd. Land at 148 Bridge St has also been sold to a local developer, and there are plans for a new building to go up at this site.

Heating homes FROM PAGE 1 This year, the foundation’s executive officer Shanine Hermsen says it is tougher for more families and nominations for the winter grants have been flooding in since the opening date at the beginning of May. “In the past, we used to help with the ‘nice to haves’, but over the years that has changed to a lot more challenging needs. We’re seeing families with two incomes who can’t make ends meet and this helps them stay warm through winter. We’ve got stories of people who literally can’t put the heating on in winter because they can’t afford it, so they just stay cold and get the blankets out.”

For some, she says the rent leaves little left over for expenses each week, let alone heating. Nominations for the winter grants are submitted from various agencies rather than families making an application and then those nominations go through an approval process with the foundation trustees. Successful nominations can receive up to $500 for power or a load of firewood delivered, depending on the size of the family.

“It’s been a really amazing way to help families that need help without putting up barriers.”

She says superannuants can choose not to receive their winter energy payment if they do not need it, but she urges them to pay it forward instead.

“We always say pay it forward to us and keep it local.”

Two colleges, one show KATE RUSSELL After a two-year hiatus, Nelson College and Nelson College for Girls are returning to the stage for their joint production.

From 27 - 31 May, students from both schools will combine to perform ‘One Man, Two Guvnors’ at Nelson College.

The cast includes eight senior students from Nelson College and 14 from Nelson College for Girls. There are also six Nelson College students involved backstage. Nelson College drama teacher, Denise Moran, says there is a strong history of the two schools combining for an annual production, but they haven’t put on a show since 2021.

“We are trying to start the regularity of it again and keep up that history. We try to work together and combine as much as possible… it’s that socialisation which is important for single-sex schools.”

Set in 1963, the era of The Beatles, in Brighton, England, the show includes live rock music, plenty of laughs, and even some stage combat. It tells the story of Francis Hensell, who is fired from his skiffle band and takes on a job as minder to Roscoe Crabbe, a small-time East End hood now in Brighton to collect £6,000 from his fiancée’s dad.

But Roscoe is really his sister,

Rachel, posing as her own dead brother who’s been killed by her boyfriend Stanley Stubbers.

Holed up at The Cricketer’s Arms, the permanently ravenous Francis spots the chance of an extra meal ticket and takes a second job with one Stanley Stubbers, who is hiding from the police and waiting to be reunited with Rachel. To prevent discovery, Francis must keep his

two guvnors apart.

“The play was written by Richard Bean and is a modern take on commedia dell’arte,” Denise says.“It’s a crazy story, very fastpaced, and set to a rollicking Beatles soundtrack.”

Denise says the cast has been rehearsing since late January.

“They have all enjoyed the comedic and physical elements of the show. It’s wonderful to see

teens being creative and working together in such a dynamic way. The amount of effort they have put in, they really deserve a big audience.”

‘One Man, Two Guvnors’ is on from 27 – 31 May at Nelson College Hall with a starting time of 7pm. Tickets are available from the main office of both colleges or events.humanitix.com/nel son-college

Magenta enter new centre GORDON PREECE A community art studio in Nelson supporting those in mental distress has begun crafting its new life in a fresh space.

Magenta Creative Space has allowed people, including atrisk youth, to socialise, feel accepted, express themselves creatively, and develop relationships with others facing similar challenges, in a safe, non-institutional environment for more than 23 years.

An opening ceremony for its new studio on Selwyn Pl was held on 14 May, after eight years at the Old St John’s Church community hall on Hardy St. Outreach coordinator, Maria Anderson, says a new venue was needed in the CBD to ac-

commodate those who travel to the area, and due to an increased membership.

“The place that we were in could only accommodate between eight to 12 people per session,” she says.

“Our numbers have more than doubled, and we could quite comfortably fit up to about 25 people per session in our new studio, which is really exciting.

“The higher profile is also to really encourage people to have those conversations around mental health to remove those stigmas.”

Community donations and a Rātā Foundation grant helped fund the new studio space.

Maria says 80 artists were on the books, and it was “growing every day”.

“They’re excited and very proud that they’ve now got a

little shop and art gallery to promote their artworks, and they had worked hard to have things on the walls for the launch,” she says.

“We’ll continue to operate five days a week… we are also looking at running a senior citizens session on a Saturday for the first time, which will be in July.

“We’ve also got an additional space that we’re looking to rent out to the community, so it will allow us to hopefully generate a little bit of income from hiring out that second space.”

Maria says preloved art and craft material sales at its ArtSurplus Fundraising Fair on 28 June would enable the space to cover its existing overheads.

The event takes place between 10am and 4pm with a gold coin required for entry.

inquiry. Mayor Field tells the Minister about a rumour that “foreign whalers” fishing in Cook Strait are responsible for the disappearance “and I have been asked to bring the matter under your notice with a view to

an enquiry being made”.

Minister Fisher responds promptly on 1 November, saying he understands “this fish has been seen recently but further inquiry as to whether this is correct will be made”.

Climate action festival well grounded ANNE HARDIE Whether it is getting your hands into soil or a bike-to-work breakfast, the Nelson-Tasman Climate Action Festival has more than 30 events focusing on a ‘grounded community’.

It is the theme for the climate change action festival which takes place from 24 May to 2 June around Nelson and Tasman and includes hands-on workshops, webinars, and even a birthday

celebration for a three-year-old microforest.

Volunteer and project coordinator, Christina Simkanin, says the aim of the festival is to offer events to suit everyone in the community. The focus is on connections and being “grounded” to earth and nature, while reducing our impact on the climate at a local level.

“It’s meant to be easy and doing practical things like how to enhance your own garden and re-

duce your food waste. So much about climate change is doom and gloom, so the festival is meant to be empowering.

“We want to keep this festival as accessible as possible to people, so most events are free or low cost. It’s a real partnership with the community with many events run by other community organisations.”

Among the week-long festival is a bike repair workshop for beginners, composting workshops

and caring for your soil, common edible weeds and seed saving for local food resilience. Webinars include talking with an architect about climate-friendly projects, budget-friendly energy tips and the impact of urban form on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Or there’s the opportunity to sit back and watch a movie, with the focus on climate.

Celebrating the third birthday of the tiny microforest on the Enner Glynn hills is one of the festival’s

So proud of you, Finn. What an incredible young man you are. You’ll do amazing.

Cushla Duncan

B.S. …. If you REALLY want safety, make pedestrian crossings “traffic light” controlled.

That puts responsibility on ALL parties for their own safety AND the safety of others. If the light is RED. STOP. For all.

The raised crossings accomplish nothing other than frustrating motorists when there is NO OTHER traffic.

I know I’m going to get a “BIT” of negative comment.

That’s fair. It’s freedom of speech. Without it, we are the poorer Mike Luke

They are renting the use of the land.

Don’t know how it’s gonna be more safe for them, they still just walk/bike out in front of ya. They will think they have more rights to walk out on the road.

Kacey J-m I will put money on the fact that there will be more accidents at the roundabout now that these are going in.

Cyclists and walkers will just walk out onto the road thinking they are safe but not look for cars.

It happens enough there now and the whole way down St Vincent St with the cycle way that is there.

Staying warm on a budget Autumn’s here. We’re definitely feeling some cooler days, and power bills will rise.

If you’re on a benefit, including superannuation, you’ll be receiving a ‘winter energy payment’ between May and September, but what can you do to help yourself?

You can check you’re on the best electricity plan by contacting your provider, or check the Powerswitch app. Use free energy from the sun when possible, by drying laundry outside on a washing line or clothes airer. Water heating costs more in cold weather, so keep showers short and check the flow rate. If water from your shower fills a bucket in less than a minute you could save up to $150 per year by installing a more efficient showerhead - they’re not expensive.

Insulation keeps the warmth your heating system creates, inside. Warmer Kiwi Homes subsidises insulation if you own and live in your home and have a low income. Check if you’re eligible and apply online. For renters, the Healthy Home standards cover

this.

Thick curtains touching the floor will stop heat escaping through windows. DIY double glazing with plastic sheets or bubble wrap works for very cold rooms, and use old-fashioned ‘snakes’ - a tube of fabric stuffed with batting - to stop draughts under doors. You can source curtains at Op Shops, as well as blankets and duvets to keep you warm at night. Did you know that a warm underblanket or mattress-cover keeps you cosy?

Heating can be electric or an approved woodburner. If you have a woodburner, check that it has a Council permit and make sure you’re burning dry wood.

Even in winter, you need good ventilation to air the house and remove moisture from cooking, showering and laundry. Open windows on fine days and close them as the day cools, because dry air is easier to heat than damp air. A dehumidifier may help, and is cheaper to run than extra heating.

Remember, there is help available.

Te Whatu Ora’s Healthy Homes programme provides grants for insulation and heating for home owners and landlords. Their website has more helpful tips for staying warm and keeping down your costs.

Nelson Matters Hon Dr Nick Smith

CONNECTING NELSON TO THE WORLD I invite any Nelsonians with an interest in or links to the USA or Canada to a public meeting at The Prince Albert next Tuesday, 28 May, from 5pm about forming a Nelson Friendship and Sister City Association with this part of the world.

Nelson’s future is in being an outwardlooking city. Our key sectors such as fishing, horticulture and forestry depend on trade. International connections also matter to our tourism, international education, science and tech sectors.

The Sister City movement began after the horror of World War II under US President Eisenhower with the purpose of encouraging people-to-people contact.

It needs reinvigorating. We have had the recent disruption from Covid. Global tensions and conflicts are on the rise.

Growing nationalism is a threat to peace and increased protectionism to our prosperity.

Nelson has had Sister City relationships with Miyazu in Japan, Eureka in the USA and Huangshi and Yangjiang in China.

The Japan relationship has been active and strong and is the second oldest Sister City link in NZ. The Nelson committee and Council recently received a national award for the redevelopment of Miyazu Park.

The Nelson branch of the NZ China Friendship Society is also strong and did our city proud last weekend hosting the national conference.

The USA relationship has been in abeyance for years and the three remaining committee members retired last year.

We have been approached about a Friendship or Sister City relationship with Portsmouth, New Hampshire. I am enthusiastic about Nelson having a renewed relationship with the USA. It is the world’s largest economy and hugely influential in global affairs.

Council is ready and willing to support a reinvigorated relationship with North America but the success will depend on volunteers who have a love and interest in growing the linkages. The Councillor leading our international relationships, Cr Trudie Brand, and I welcome your feedback.

We live in an isolated corner of one of the most remote countries in the world. We are seeking help in citizen-led diplomacy so Nelson is better connected.

Nick Smith

Be safe and be prepared when navigating our winter roads As winter descends, stunning landscapes offer breathtaking beauty alongside heightened road hazards. With plunging temperatures and unpredictable weather, navigating our highways during winter calls for caution and vigilance.

Our diverse terrain presents a myriad of challenges for winter travellers. From alpine passes to winding roads, each stretch of asphalt harbours its own set of perils.

Black ice and reduced visibility pose significant threats, and winding roads, sharp curves and road works amplify the dangers and necessitates caution behind the wheel.

With ever-changing conditions, the key advice from Caroline Perry, NZ director at the road safety charity Brake, is for drivers to use roads as safely as possible. “This Road Safety Week we're encouraging everyone to be a road safety hero.

Stoke school students Ryder PakiPaki and Carter Illingworth getting behind Road safety week. Look out for kids and slow down on our roads.

If you're driving, this includes looking out for people on foot and bike.” Take care around school buses, especially when they have stopped.

The speed limit in New Zealand for passing a stopped school bus is 20km/h. “In winter it can be harder to spot people like

children walking or cycling, due to reduced light and visibility.

“So, it's important drivers slow down, particularly around schools, playgrounds and other places where there are children, pedestrians and cyclists.”

Road works take place all around the coun-

try, no matter the season, and the people who work to build and maintain our roads do their best to keep things moving as best as possible. "Roadworkers do an important job building and maintaining infrastructure.

They're also people who want to get home safely to their families every day. We urge drivers to slow down around roadworks and follow the instructions of any traffic management in place, to help make sure everyone makes it home."

Regular maintenance checks should be undertaken prior to any major trip, including tyre tread depth, brake functionality, and fluid levels. A well-laid plan can also mean the difference between a smooth journey and a calamity. Check weather forecasts and road advisories for potential detours and alternatives, and adjust your travel schedule accordingly.

The key message this season is to exercise caution and adapt driving behaviour to the road conditions. Reduce speed, increase following distances, and avoid sudden manoeuvres.

Maintain an awareness of other motorists and wildlife, as reduced visibility and slippery surfaces heighten the likelihood of accidents. Despite meticulous planning and cautious driving, unforeseen circumstances may still arise.

Trade Central NZ

Trade Central celebrate a decade of providing top quality services As Trade Central commemorates its ten-year milestone, owner Bruce Farquhar and his devoted team express immense gratitude to the community that has been their cornerstone since day one. "Ten years ago, we embarked on a journey fuelled by a simple yet powerful ethos: provide exceptional service and give back to the community that supports us," says Bruce.

"We owe our success to the unwavering support of the Nelson region, from Motueka to Wakefield, and extending to Marlborough. Without their trust and patronage, Trade Central wouldn't be where it is today."

This also extends to the amazing Trade Central staff, he continues.

“We have a great team, some of whom have been with the business since the beginning. There is no better feeling than having a client say, ‘your staff were great, and we would like to have you back’. For me, it is like winning the lottery. What more could you want?” In a ‘delicious irony’, Trade Central are working on a whole house renovation this month right next to the house in Atawhai where Trade Central was first founded, 10 years ago. “It’s like we’ve come full circle,” says Bruce.

Trade Central owner Bruce Farquhar outside the ‘world headquarters’ on Selwyn Place.

The ethos guiding Trade Central is simple, yet profound: "We turn up when we say we will; our team do great work and we clean up after ourselves." These principles, instilled by Bruce himself, serve as the foundation upon which the business thrives. "I started Trade Central as a disgruntled homeowner, frustrated by the lack of reliability and quality in service providers. I knew that by prioritising these three vital components, we could set ourselves apart from others in the industry.”

“In my opinion, if you can do those three vital things then you are 90% ahead of other companies. This is what people notice and what I believe is our point of difference. Keeping in communication with clients is another key factor

and is something which goes such a long way. You have to stand for something when you are in business. By focusing on providing those key services, everything else falls into place.”

Indeed, Trade Central has become synonymous with reliability and excellence in service.

From repairs and maintenance to renovations and extensions, painting, electrical work, and beyond, the team tackles every project with dedication and professionalism.

"Whether it's fixing a leaky tap or undertaking a full-scale renovation, we approach every job with the same commitment to excellence.”

However, Trade Central's journey isn't solely about business success; it's about giving back to the community that has supported them wholeheartedly.

Over the past decade, Trade Central has contributed substantially to various community initiatives and individuals in need. From supporting homeowners facing hardship to sponsoring events like The Top of the South Film Festival and Nelson Netball, Trade Central believes in assisting those who are in need of help. "We like the idea of giving a hand up, instead of a handout. This year alone, we have returned over $20,000 to the community, and we're incredibly grateful for the opportunity to give back," says Bruce.

To celebrate their milestone anniversary, Trade Central is inviting the community to join in the festivities. While the team will mark the occasion with a private staff event on the 25th, they have also launched

Tevita Koloamatangi always knew that he wanted to finish off his playing career where it all started.

As a Stoke Rugby Club man through-and-through, it was icing on the cake as he ran out for his 100th game with the team after making his premier debut in 2009.

“I played all my JAB here, from U8 right up to U14s. This club means a lot to me,” he says. “Being brought up down on Karaka Street, I didn’t have much and this place was a way to stay out of trouble. I owe this club a lot.”

But his compatriots wouldn’t agree that Tevita owes them anything, having been a core member of the team for their back-toback titles in 2009 and ‘10 and dedicating years of service to the club.

He was emotional after the game as friends, family and workmates showered him in congrat-

ulations, saying he wasn’t even meant to play this season.

Tevita was told in the off season that his knee injury meant he’d only be able to come off the bench and play up to 20 minutes a game.

“But in the preseason it felt really good and I said ‘stuff it’, and here we are.”

On top of a long premier grade career, Tevita also notched up 43 caps for the Mako, played 10 games for the Chiefs and made his international debut for Tonga in 2016.

Tevita also spent a season with the London Irish and played 25 games for Skyactivs Hiroshima over four seasons.

“I’ve travelled around the whole world and it was always the plan to come back and finish off my career here,” he says “Getting to 100 games, it’s definitely up there at the top [in terms of accolades].”

At 37-years-old, Tevita is by far the most senior player in the

Gymnastics Nelson gets accessible upgrade KATE RUSSELL It has been three years in the making, but Gymnastics Nelson has completed an extensive upgrade to its Mosey Grayson Memorial Gymnastics Centre.

Around 3500 volunteer hours and $190,000 have gone into the project, and now they have a space that fosters inclusivity and accessibility within the community.

Project coordinator, Cindy Mosey, says an accessible lift, accessible bathroom facilities, and a new club entrance, make the gym more welcoming to diverse groups.

It also boasts a new office, as well as a mezzanine, which works as an extra area for gym-goers and is also the ideal viewing spot.

“It means more space for gymnasts, families, school groups, holiday programmes, and events.”

Cindy says the upgrades have allowed them to introduce some new classes, including ‘Functional Fitness’ for children and youth with disabilities.

“This class is already full, with a waitlist.”

They are also piloting a ‘Forever Active’ 55-plus class and one for former refugees and migrant communities.

Club president, Dennie Capell, says other classes, such as their preschool sessions, adults’ gym, ‘Gym for All’ sessions, and kindergarten visits have benefited from the upgrade, with memberships growing.

This past year there has also been

a big focus on replacing old equipment to ensure inclusivity, such as specialty spotting platforms, safety matting, fat landing mats, safety foam, beams, pommel, bar, bar safety matting, as well a mini tramp.

“It is a much more flexible and safer space for our expert coaches, some of whom have been here for more than 20 years,” Cindy adds.

Support for equipment and programmes came from fundraising efforts and grants from Mainland Foundation, Pub Charity, Lion Foundation, Tu Manuwa Active Aotearoa, Foodstuffs South Island Community Grants, NCC Hapori Team, and OneFortyOne. Cindy says they were fortunate to receive funding support for the upgrade from the New Zealand Community Trust, Te Puna Tahua Lottery Grants Board, and Rātā Foundation, while local businesses helped make up the shortfall to complete the project.

These include Mitre 10 Mega Nelson, Blacks Fasteners, Carpet Court, Design Windows, Allied Concrete, Absolute Energy, HTL, Contour, PlaceMakers, Aotea Electric, Veridian Glass, Kitchen Studio Nelson, Walker Painting and Decorating, Make Furniture and MenzShed Waimea.

She also says several people donated their time to the project, including life member Stuart Hughes, who designed the upgraded space.

For more information on classes at Gymnastics Nelson, visit www. gymnast.co.nz

Students from Aikido Nelson and Motueka came together over the weekend to complete their annual grading, including Sensei Callum Cockerell who earned his third black belt after starting his training at Aikido Nelson in 1995. Dojo Head, Cornelia Baumgartner, says the annual grading serves as a chance for her students to show off their skills, with all participants selected being capable of completing the grading. In attendance for the grading was Nobuo Takase Shihan (pictured right, alongside Patrick Downey Sensei), the head instructor of New Zealand’s largest Aikikai Aikido organisation, Shinryukan.

The Clifton Terrace School Board of Trustees invites applications from parents who wish to enrol their sons and daughters for 2024/25 who live outside the enrolment zone.

Enrolment at the school is governed by an enrolment scheme, details of which are available on the school website www.cliftontce.school.nz.

Families who wish to apply should do so in writing addressed to Rob Wemyss stating the child’s full name, date of birth and current address or by email robw@cliftontce. school.nz Please write OUT OF ZONE ENROLMENT in the subject line.

The deadline for receipt of applications for out-of-zone places is Fri 31 May. Parents of students who live within the home zone should also apply by this date to assist the school to plan appropriately for next year.

The board has determined that 20 places are likely to be available for out-of- zone students during the next year.

Preference will be given to those in the Year 1 - 2 age group (those born 2018 – 2020). The exact number of places will depend on the number of applications received from students who live within the school’s home zone. Please note that other age groups will be considered as well.

If the number of out-of-zone applications exceeds the number of places available, students will be selected by ballot. If a ballot is required it will be held on Wednesday 5 June.

Parents will be informed of the outcome of the ballot within three school days of the ballot being held.

Rob Wemyss - Principal Clifton Terrace School
