“Yes, of course I’ll vote. I plan to do a bit more research. There are some interesting parties in the mix.

I’d like to see some changes in Nelson that make sense.”

“I haven’t had any information through on the candidates yet but, yes, I do vote.”

“I have checked out the nominations, I think there are some okay options.”

“I have looked at them.

There are certainly some strong candidates for Nelson but there doesn’t seem to be quite the same strength in Tasman.”

Election season begins FROM PAGE 1 In total, 31 people have put their hands up to become councillors, with eight of them seeking reelection. There will be at least four new people at the table with Paul Matheson, Stuart Walker and Luke Acland all deciding not to stand while Bill Dahlberg is only running for mayor.

Dozens of signs are now dotted around the city streets as part of the candidates’ campaigns. Those in the council and mayoral race are allowed to spend a maximum of $30,000 on their promotions as part of strict rules that govern the campaign. Candidates are not permitted to retain anonymous donations exceeding $1500 and each candidate is required to keep a record of all campaign election expenses.

They are also only allowed 10 signs, known as hoardings, that are meant to be a maximum of .75cm2 per sign.

Last election over 50 hours of council staff time was spent monitoring signs and responding to complaints on election signs.

This year, the council’s group manager of environmental management, Clare Barton, says that they have already had a number of complaints in relation to election signage.

Mel Courtney, who is running for mayor and council, says he is one of those who have been complained about when he put a sign on a road reserve land at the corner of Melrose Terrace and Trafalgar Street.

“I am surprised that someone has complained that my ‘V’ shaped sign is on road reserve. I have

been told to remove the sign and I will. It’s positioned in exactly the same place I had it erected three years ago but as Mother Teresa once said, ‘it doesn’t matter’.”

He suggests council looks more closely at State Highway 6 along Rocks Rd, where signs should be five meters back from the edge of the carriageway.

Mel is joined by Tim Skinner, Rachel Reese, Bill Dahlberg, Mike Ward, John Wakelin and Avner Nahmias in the mayoral race.

For council it is a stacked field with current councillors Tim Skinner, Ian Barker, Kate Fulton, Matt Lawrey, Brian McGurk, Gaile Noonan and Mike Rutledge running. Other people who are standing include Yvonne Bowater, Trudie Brand, Allen Chambers, Dennis Christian,

Alastair Cotterill, Glen Daikee, Sunny Daly-Keenan, Judene Edgar, Bernie Goldsmith, Owen J Houliston, Robbie Kavanagh, Luke King, Stephen Lindup, Dai Mitchell, Harry (Howard) Morris, Graeme O’Brien, Rohan O’Neill-Stevens, Pete Rainey, Campbell Rollo, Rachel Sanson, Anjela Sharma, Virat Vij and Mike Ward.

Councillors are paid a base of $39,686 while the mayor is paid $144,500. Among other things, their responsibilities include formulating the council’s strategic direction and relative priorities, determining the expenditure and funding requirements of council activities and monitoring the ongoing performance of council.

The closing date for people to send in their choices is October 12.

Nelson Club members gagged after ‘racism’ allegations surface Charles Anderson The exclusive, male-only Nelson Club has refused to vote on an amendment to its laws that would ban “hate speech” in its premises while passing a rule that gags members from speaking out.

The move comes in the wake of alleged racist and homophobic slurs by a member which resulted in the resignation of its former chairperson.

The club held a special general meeting on Friday to decide the fate of a member who is alleged to have made anti-Muslim and homophobic comments at an event late last year. The incident led to the resignation of the then club chairperson, when the committee refused to censure the member in question.

The member in question stepped down from the club’s committee, but at the meeting was permitted to keep his membership while the club voted to make an amendment that would make it forbidden to speak publicly about club business. However, the meeting would not hear an amendment to ban hate speech.

on Selwyn Place being opened in 1903 and does not allow females to join.

One member told the Nelson Weekly that the meeting was a “choreographed refusal to address the problem of white supremacist, and anti-Muslim views within the club”.

“I also saw a refusal to ban hate speech within the club’s premises and an acceptance of a rule change to make the club a secret society.”

The member who made the initial comments in question wrote to the club board saying that the comment about Muslims was about sexual grooming gangs in the UK, which was “factually correct” and that he was “anti-Islam” not “anti-Muslim”. He also denied being “strongly homophobic” but did express a strong dislike for “LGBT activists pushing a pro homosexual agenda to young children in our schools”.

He said his decision to move to New Zealand 10 years ago was “hugely based around the spread of Islam in the UK and Europe”. The man was also a former member of the fascist far-right British National Party.

In a press release, the club president Scott Dodd said that the meeting was an opportunity to “send a clear message that intolerance and bigotry have no place within the club”. It said it censured the member and stated that the club was “inclusive of all ideologies, races and sexual orientations”.

However, at that same meeting, the member in question reiterated comments he made, including that he believed black people had lower IQs than white people. These beliefs were also recirculated by the club’s lawyer in an email to other members.

Hampden St closure aims to improve safety Sara Hollyman Reporter

sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz

The decision to close part of Hampden St to traffic is being praised a resident who says that he is often the ‘first responder’ to accidents at the busy intersection.

Hampden St resident Dominic Alford says he has seen many injuries sustained while living there.

One time he looked out the window to see what he thought was a mannequin on top of a car.

“Then I looked closer, the guy had his motorbike helmet on, and he started moving his arm

and I went ‘oh shit’. I could see the windscreen had been broken and the guy’s jeans had torn, and he had some deep lacerations on his legs.”

The west side of the intersection will soon be closed by Nelson City Council as part of a 12-month-trial to improve safety at the site.

The closure will see one side of Hampden St closed to traffic using planter boxes and will also provide a protected pedestrian pathway, including kerb ramps. Reflectors will be installed to make them visible at night.

Changes will be made to signage

and line marking will be made to show the changed traffic conditions clearly.

Dominic says it’s a brilliant idea to combat an issue that he has raised with the council before.

He has even watched people drive over the footpath and his front lawn because they are too impatient to wait in the rush hour grid lock.

Council say issues with the Hampden Street/Waimea Road intersection have been identified to them as a high crash risk area, especially with the potential for involving cyclists and pedestrians.

There have been 14 reported crashes between 2012 and

2019 and half of those involved vulnerable road users.

Works and infrastructure committee chair Stuart Walker says it is a known trouble spot on the transport network and the crash rate is “unacceptable”.

Council says they have been in touch with stakeholder groups, local businesses, schools and residents of Hampden Street West and Hampden Terrace to get their feedback on the proposal for the trial closure.

However, some at last week’s meeting questioned whether true consultation had taken place. Only 22 out of 47 residents and businesses contacted by

the council responded, and no attempt was made to contact residents in streets surrounding Hampden St. Some councillors also suggested it was not just cars to blame, but also cyclists.

Councillors Gaile Noonan, Mike Rutledge, and deputy mayor Paul Matheson voted against the closure.

But Dominic says if the move stops one more kid going to hospital then it is worth trying.

“I just hope there’s not another accident before they put it in.”

The public will be notified in advance of the changes being made, but the trial closure is likely to begin in October.

AUTHORISED BY R J HARDEN, 15 BRIDGE STREET, NELSON 7010

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

One of Aotearoa’s most formative musical figures - who happens to be a Nelson resident - will be inducted into the New Zealand Music Hall of Fame at the 2019 APRA Silver Scroll Awards this October.

Jim Carter, who turned 100 in March this year, will be joined

by Ruru Karaitiana and Pixie Williams (both since passed on) in the prestigious honor as together, they created ‘Blue Smoke’ - New Zealand’s first homegrown pop song in 1949.

This year celebrates the song’s 70th anniversary. It was the first New Zealand song to be wholly written, recorded and manufactured in New Zealand.

It was a huge commercial success and was covered by a host of international stars including Dean Martin.

Locally Owned and Operated

Growing up in Wellington, Jim first picked up the lap-steel guitar in 1936 at the age of 17. He aspired to be a dance band guitarist, so took lessons on rhythm guitar and joined a Wellington band called Gerry Hall and his Orchestra, playing in a church opposite the Basin Reserve.

During the Second World War he was in the army for a year, but tuberculosis kept him away from the action. Instead, he worked as an army chef and often performed at concerts held in military camps such as Trentham.

After the war Carter joined the 2YA Orchestra, which played “pop music of the day”, accompanying a female vocalist broadcasting live-to-air from the station’s Wellington studio.

Then Ruru Karaitiana, who wrote ‘Blue Smoke’, approached Jim to play the lap-steel guitar and lead his band on the recording as he wanted it to

have a Hawaiian feel.

But Jim’s contribution to New Zealand’s pop music history didn’t stop at that.

In the same year it was recorded, he played rhythm guitar on Ken Avery’s ‘Paekakariki’, and in the mid-1950s he played on several pivotal recordings by Johnny Cooper - his biggest hit ‘One By One’, his originals ‘Look What You Done (Lonely Blues)’ and ‘Pie-Cart Rock’n’Roll’, and his version of ‘Rock Around the Clock’.

Lap-steel guitar, and music have remained a key part of Jim’s life, including a new recording of ‘Blue Smoke’ he did with Neil Finn for Anzac Day in 2015.

While Karaitiana and Williams have now sadly passed on, their children will be accepting the awards on their behalf.

The APRA Silver Scroll Awards are to be held at Spark Arena in Auckland on Wednesday, October 2.

Artwork sought for 80 city flags

Kate Russell Fancy your artwork being on display on Trafalgar St? Well, here’s your opportunity.

Nelson City Council are seeking entries from all abilities and ages to create 80 uniquely designed flags to brighten up the central city.

Arts Council Nelson are running the exhibition on behalf of the council, who are funding the $41,500 project.

The flags will be rotated around Trafalgar, Hardy and Bridge Streets from this spring, according to Arts Council Nelson Community Arts manager Lloyd Harwood.

“You will be able to look down Trafalgar St and see them. It’s going to look amazing,” he says.

Each selected artist will receive $300 per image.

Lloyd says they are looking for “bold and bright designs that are colourful, interesting, positive and fun”.

“We’ve purposely opened it up to a cross-section of the community. We hope to get young people as well as entry-level and established artists.”

The flags will go up in November after the Nelson Arts Festival flags come down. They will come down in December when the Christmas decorations go up, and then come back in February/March.

Entries are now open and close on September 23. For full details, entry forms and templates, go to: www. acn.org.nz/art-flags-project.html

Lotto struck Vern makes plans after in Nelson ‘lucky’ local career One lucky Nelson Lotto player has 250,000 more reasons to smile after winning a share of Saturday’s first division Lotto draw.

The lucky punter purchased their ticket at Nelson City New World on Vanguard St and pockets $250,000 from the win.

They share the win with three other first division winners who purchased their tickets in Silverdale, near Auckland, Dunedin and MyLotto.

The MyLotto winner also picked up $12 million in Powerball First Division, taking their winnings to $12.2 million.

It’s the twelfth time Powerball has been won this year.

Charles Anderson Vern Mardon was in Kaiteriteri relaxing when he first heard that one of his dear friends had just had a stroke.

It came only a few months after the death of a close friend, and he started to think that maybe he should be slowing down. Vern came to Nelson in 1977 to work as a branch manager for an insurance company before setting out on his own.

But on that Kaiteri day he turned to his wife and said: “I think I need to stop. Life is too short.”

So soon they will be heading off in their caravan to explore the country. It will mark the end of an era for Vern, who has also been intimately involved with athletics in Nelson for many years.

He helped fundraise for the Saxton athletics track, the pavilion and the indoor cricket centre.

That passion for sport started

Vern Mardon is finally retiring after first coming to Nelson to work in insurance in 1977. Photo: Charles Anderson. at secondary school in Taranaki. His claim to fame is being the first student to win the two long distance events at the local school champs.

“Athletics has always been my sport,” he says. “I love the competitiveness of it.”

But when he left school he was unsure what to do. So he studied chemistry and ended up dropping out.

“I was concentrating too much on running and just chose the wrong subjects.”

He applied for a job at some banks but got rejected. Then he applied to some insurance companies and got a job before becoming an adviser.

“Sometimes life just happens, and it has been so good to me. I have loved it, absolutely loved the industry. It’s a passion I’ve always had.”

Now he is known as “the granddad” of the insurance industry in Nelson.

“What a good adviser does is take over, so the stress goes

completely off the client. If I put something in place for you it has to work exactly right down the track. Because if I haven’t done it right then it’s too late.”

Now he is handing over the last of his 100 clients to local adviser Mark Sheehan, whom Vern has nothing but praise for.

“He is a really great guy.”

Vern’s ability to build lasting relationships saw him build up a network of loyal clients whom he treated to a night out last month.

“It was an evening to say, ‘thank you for giving me the pleasure of being able to work with you’.

It was so humbling. It was an evening I will never forget.”

But now it is planning a travel itinerary that will take up Vern’s time. He is especially excited about heading towards Dunedin to check out the albatrosses and penguins.

“I’ve just been really lucky,” he says.

NEWS First flush for new toilets: Visitors to the Queens Gardens will now have new toilets to use, just alongside the Suter Gallery on Bridge Street. The new toilet block is accessed from the Bridge Street footpath and has been designed in a style that complements the exterior of the Suter. It contains two unisex toilets, one of which is disabled accessible and has a baby change table. Council staff wanted to thank all the park users for their patience while construction was taking place.

Saltwater Creek Bridge replacement underway: Work has started on replacing the Saltwater Creek Bridge, which connects the Maitai River Walkway with the QEII bridge underpass. The existing footbridge was removed on Monday, and the new bridge was craned into place on the same day. However, more construction work is needed before the new bridge can be opened for use. This is expected to take up to three weeks so access across the bridge is closed until mid-September and detours will be in place. The 3-metre-wide bridge is made from Glulam timber and incorporates a waka theme, which will reflect a waka prow sculpture that is proposed for the nearby landing site.

The Nelson 2060 Strategic Plan ...... What happened to it?

Your timely article regarding the lack of progress on the plan highlights why nothing much has happened in getting the plan off the ground during the past five years.

It is worth looking back to 2014 when the Nelson 2060 Strategy was first suggested and when there was a fair degree of ratepayer scepticism about preparing a plan with a vision almost 50 years into the future.

However, it was accepted that a plan with so called VISION was necessary and was not to be confused with annual Long Term Planning that council undertakes each year where funding of works and projects is the predominant matter.

At that time, in 2014, ratepayers were told that the goals contained in the plan would be implemented along a timeline pathway leading to 2060, however, few specific

dates or methods to measure progress were included.

To say the plan was a “community led vision” is not entirely accurate and the 10 goals that finally emerged were influenced heavily through consultant and council input. All of this has taken far too long and no end is in sight.

The trouble with long-term planning is councils and their staff come and go and important plans almost invariably get caught up in the political machine where new policies, priorities and ideologies take charge and plans produced some years back often get torn apart.

Mayor Reese, in her comments, alluded to a new council having “a different approach to planning”. So, what should be done?

Firstly, accept the fact that trying to prepare a plan with a vision looking out to 2060 is nonsense.

Better to make it a six year plan (two council terms for accountability) with strong annual reporting requirements.

Finally, as council has now declared a “Climate Emergency”

which we are told is urgent and is of concern for the foreseeable future, it makes sense that council vision planning should now align with that.

Neville Male Nelson Hospital self check-in kiosk: 15 years ago in the UK, I could make an appointment with my GP through automatic telephone response and check-in at a screen terminal on arrival. 13 years ago, I needed a hospital appointment. I was given a pin number and then went online where I was given a choice over six weeks of four hospitals and the times available.

This I did on my laptop from a camp site in France. On arrival at the hospital, on time, I checked in on a computer screen then I waited just five minutes before being seen, first by a technician and later after another five-minute wait, by the specialist.

comes to Nelson: They are great and will save the trees, go for it.

Dianne Scott Better to make parking free in the CBD by increasing general rates to cover existing revenue generated from parking fees.

Also, build in a rate to pay for cycleway infrastructure. Cyclists are subsidised by motorists currently, not fair. Parking time limits should stay and be enforced by council.

Steve Thomas Our business had to provide minimum of five onsite carparks in the suburbs for our small business.

We had to tarseal and mark the area. Yet businesses in Nelson city aren’t required to provide any parking or fund the parking.

Whereas Richmond parking is free. Guess where we shop?

But, a great idea to upgrade to no

Nelson Matters Transport issues were to the fore last week with National Leader Simon Bridges meeting with the Mayors and transport leaders and the Council decision to close off Hampden Street from Waimea Road.

Nelson‘s transport infrastructure is not coping with our growth in population, freight and tourism. We have 10,000 more people in the region than a decade ago. Freight volumes through Port Nelson have grown 40% in the last five years. The additional million tonnes equated to another 100 fully laden trucks every day. Visitors to our region have topped 400,000 and are growing at 10,000 a year.

The answer is not closing roads.

The Council decision to block off Hampden Street at its intersection with Waimea Road is treating the symptoms. Full points to Councillors Matheson, Noonan and Rutledge for opposing the closure. The fundamental problem is that Waimea Road and Rocks Road do not have sufficient capacity to get the people and freight in and out of our city and port.

Congestion is getting worse.

The times that Waimea and Rocks Roads get snarled up are growing. It has spread south to Richmond’s roads and intersections. Rat runs are developing on neighbourhood streets not designed for such traffic. Injury accidents and road fatalities are

increasing as our roads are not designed for these traffic volumes and frustrated road users take risks they should not.

Labour has had little to say about Nelson’s transport issues.

The PM, when Leader of the Opposition, said she opposes the Southern Link as there are better alternatives like barging logs from Rabbit Island or a tunnel though the Port Hills.

Neither alternative is credible.

Transport Minister Phil Twyford has cancelled billions in highway projects around New Zealand including the $5 million project in Nelson for resurfacing with quiet seal on SH6 in Atawhai and Stoke. Mr Twyford’s statement that New Zealand has long

Back to the drawing board for Modellers Pond: Ah, those of you asking for it to be a kid’s paddling pool, are you aware it's part of the stormwater system?!

That's what caused the whole problem in the first place. Concrete it, bypass the storm water and let the tide flush it occasionally. Problem solved.

What's needed is movement in this pond. A pump installed to keep the water circulating (when it's not being used for model sailing). This pond collects rainwater which is the stagnation problem.

over-invested in highways gives little hope to Nelson.

Green Co-Leader James Shaw and Councillor Matt Lawry promised in 2017 $23 million for a Rocks Road walkway and cycleway but nothing has eventuated. The Transport Agency has rightly stated this is unrealistic without addressing the large volume of traffic and trucks. I have long advocated for Rocks Road being an esplanade for walking, cycling and recreation, but this is only possible by relocating the State Highway.

The message Simon Bridges received from our Mayors, Port Nelson, AA, contractors and Road Transport Association was of frustration. Simon’s state-

ment that National would put the Southern Link back on track was welcomed.

National has a strong track record of investment in Nelson’s highways. We did QEII Drive in the 1980s, Whakatu Drive in the 1990s and the Ruby Bay Bypass in the 2010s. The Southern Link is just part of what needs doing in the 2020s. We need to be planning for four lanes to the plains – ie out to Three Brothers corner.

Our community faces big choices on transport with local elections this October and Parliamentary elections next October.

Nelson needs leadership and direction.

Brodie heads to Outward Bound thanks to NBS Charles Anderson Editor

charles@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Brodie Morrison used to be the kind of girl who would sit at the back of the class.

But three years ago, she started attending Victory Boxing after her mum Helen saw it advertised. In that time Brodie, 17, has gone from simply showing up to class, to helping run the class.

Then the Nayland College student also recently saw that NBS were sponsoring one young person to go to the full Outward Bound course in Anakiwa.

Thing we really liked about Brodie is her long connection to Victory Boxing,” says NBS’s Howie Timms. “She is a good, motivated young person – it was perfect for what we were looking for.”

She will go on the course at the end of September and spend 21 days in the bush, going hiking and climbing and building life skills.

“A bit of everything,” Brodie says. “I feel like the experience will be really cool and I’ll get a lot of out it.”

Her mum says that boxing has been great for her daughter’s confidence.

“She used to sit at the back of the class and now she is at the front, always talking.”

Brodie says boxing has taken her out of her comfort zone and pushed her to exceed expectations.

Her trainer Shaz Nicholls says Brodie has just “blossomed” with boxing and is sure the Outward Bound course will take her to the next level.

Every few weeks we sit down with someone with a story to tell at Burger Culture. We call it ‘Burgers, Beers and Banter’. This week we speak to Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter pilot Euan Stratford who has recently returned home to Nelson after working overseas.

“I’ve been flying for more than 20 years now but I still remember my first flight. I did my aeroplane licence when I was at school, I could afford half an hour flying time a week with my after-school job (it was a bit cheaper back then). But then mum bought us a joyride down in a helicopter at Tahuna Beach at Christmas time one year and that was it. I thought ‘this is cool’ so that was that.

Next it was like ‘right, need to pay for it,’, so I got a job on the fishing boats for a while. I thought if I save all the money up for it and I get to my magic number and I’ve still got that money in the bank and haven’t drunk it or spent it on fast cars and stuff, then I must really want to do it. I saw a lot of other blokes with heaps of nice cars and stuff, but it was a means to an end.

My wife was pregnant with our first boy 10 years ago, that’s when I started working overseas, mainly in Indonesia and New Guinea.

The work is month on month off which is OK but was hard on the family. You fly home in your time off so you can imagine three and a half weeks goes pretty bloody fast.

A lot of the work was for mining companies, looking for gold or oil and stuff. We would be living in bush camps in the jungle some of them were pretty terrible. My last trip in Indonesia was pretty bad, the food was awful, I pretty much lived off rice and cabbage for a month. I lost so much weight.

There’s no internet or air conditioning, and the bugs.

It was quite hard, our nine and seven-year-old pretty much grew up with me doing the month on month off thing.

Coming home is great, but you can imagine, before you know it, you’re back at the airport and it’s time to go.

I had some shoulder surgery at the end of last year and was gearing up to go and work away

Nayland College shines in PM’s Education Excellence Awards

Nayland College has received high praise from the judges who recently selected the school as a finalist in the 2019 Prime Minister’s Education Excellence Awards, in the ‘Excellence in Leading’ category. One of five potential categories, the award celebrates leadership and its influences on creating changes in conditions, leading to improved and sustained outcomes for children and young people.

High praise for leadership capability and transformational learning strategies

The judges said, ‘Nayland College demonstrated clear leadership to change the college over several years to successful, sustainable practice. The entry also showed a focus on the development of a more flexible curriculum to meet the needs of

the students. Using research-driven methodology, they have addressed some key issues and have shifted the culture of the school. The college reflected on leadership, attitude, values and entrenched systems and initiated a ‘values-based learning revolution’. They localised the curriculum and transformed learning across the school. The implementation of cultural responsiveness and relational strategies have ensured the college is a safe, supportive and respectful environment. The result has been an increase in the college’s roll and retention of students in the senior years.

Achievement levels have significantly increased, particularly for Māori students.’ (www.pmawards.education. govt.nz) Principal of Nayland College, Daniel Wilson, who commenced his role in 2015, says to be considered for the award, the application process re-

In addition, we have done a lot of work around our curriculum so that it’s inspiring, is

much more culturally responsive, and is meeting student’s needs. For example, for senior students who don’t have a clear pathway post-school, we have introduced our Pathway+ programme that develops mentoring partnerships and networks across the main industries in the Nelson/Tasman region. We have a philosophy that promotes learning programmes that are relevant, engaging and fun.”

Public invited to grand opening of boutique garden shop

Members of the public are warmly invited to the grand opening of Tim’s Garden design and retail space next weekend. “It’s very exciting that our business will have its own boutique garden shop, to complement our existing gardening and landscaping services,” says Tim, the owner. “We have done much of the fit-out ourselves and have been quite creative with the design of the shop which is nice and central on Gloucester Street. It’s essentially a showroom for all things gardening – a place where people can buy a variety of plants, pots and products to use in their gardens.

Come along to the opening and get a feel for the new space and see what we can offer by way of design and landscaping as well.”

Established three years ago, Tim’s Garden Services offers one-to-one garden design, installation and maintenance services using organic methods and permaculture principles.

Tickets selling quickly for fun Spring Fashion Fling

Spring fashion comes a little earlier this year with the Nelson College for Girls PTA Spring Fashion Fling event being held on Saturday, 31st August.

Once again the enthusiastic PTA organising team has spared no effort to make it the best show ever.

In its eighth year of running, the Fling promises a fun-filled evening out, previewing Nelson’s leading fashion shops’ spring/ summer line-ups, presented by dedicated modelling volunteers drawn from all walks of life in the Nelson community, including teachers, students, corporate organisations and councillors.

As the College’s main fundraising drive for the year, delivering

value for money is paramount to the organisers. The ticket price of $35 buys a seat for the 2-hour show, supper canapes, a table gift and discount vouchers, while contributing to facilities which will benefit the students of Nelson College for Girls now and in the future. An example is the planned Astroturf covering planned for the old tennis courts, which will provide bigger and better sports facilities for the college and the local community.

This year, men and women’s fashion is featured and has been expanded to include sportswear.

Shops presenting are: Portmans, Jacqui E, Taking Shape, Shine, Frock & Soul, BeeTees, Nelson

Tailors Menswear, Little Boutique, The Shoe Clinic, Nancy Loves Bikes, Tineli, Robyn Reynolds, Papercut Patterns and Little Beehive.

A wine (including a little bubbly..) and beer bar will be available on site, as well as hot drinks and dessert table for later in the evening.

“We work really hard on delivering a programme that will entertain and entice a wide audience. It’s important to get the details right,” says Nelson College for Girls’ PTA chair, Helen Arkless. “It should go well, particularly because we have a similar team this year but with several more great volunteers helping out.”

“To date, a lot of full tables have been grabbed by corporates or groups of friends. We have some room left but it looks like you’ll have to be pretty quick. Last year was our best year for fundraising and we hope to match it this year.

We don’t do any other fundraising during the year – this is the big one!”

Major sponsors this year are Beau-

tiphi (beauty products), CSG (print services), Brown & Syme and Insite.

The timeless stories of Beatrix Potter will come to life on the Theatre Royal stage this week.

Nelson Academy of Dance is performing Tales of Peter Rabbit and The Jewels for four shows only, starting on Thursday, August 22.

It’s not the first time they have staged the production - director Gillian Francis opened the academy in 1977 and says the stories of Beatrix Potter are still as popular as ever.

“Everyone knows the stories.

It’s just a lovely collection that we have put our own dance to.”

A total of 80 dancers, ranging in age from three-years-old to 50-years-old, will be portraying much-loved characters such as Peter Rabbit, Mrs Tiggywinkle, Jeremy Fisher, Squirrel Nutkin, Two Bad Mice, Pigling Bland, Country Mice and Tabitha Twitchett.

“The dancers stay realistic to what the animals do, with stunning costumes and they are

“We have been rehearsing flat out, seven days a week for the last four weeks, so we’re ready for some great shows.”

Gillian says the whole performance runs for two-anda-quarter hours and is suitable for all ages. It will begin with a pure classical ballet, The Jewels - emerald, ruby and diamonds.

Both ballets feature music by well-known composers, with Tales of Beatrix Potter arranged

by John Lanchbery.

The production also sees the return of American dancer, Jordan Nelson, who will portray Johnny Town Mouse.

Jordan has been a professional ballet dancer with Columbia City Ballet, Madison Ballet, Elements Contemporary Ballet, Ballet Chicago and Saint Louis Ballet.

Tales of Beatrix Potter and The Jewels is on at the Theatre Royal from August 22 to 24 at 7pm with a matinee performance on

August 24 at 1.30pm.

Tickets are available from TicketDirect or the Theatre Royal.

Nelson to meet Christchurch in UC final Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Nelson College captain Anton Segnar will this weekend look to cement his legacy as one of the greatest skippers the school has produced in recent memory as his side hosts the UC Championship final.

After three seasons in the blue stripes, the 18-year-old will play for the final time at home when Christchurch Boys High comes to town.

Anton has enjoyed a superb 1st XV career for Nelson, winning the Quad Tournament twice and being selected in the New Zealand schools’ side.

After a dramatic semi-final win against Christ’s on Saturday, the young German says it’s a surreal feeling to be contesting the UC final.

“I’m struggling to wrap my head

around it, the fact it’s a final and on the front field is pretty unreal.”

Anton has played transTasman fixtures for his adopted nation as well as for Crusaders’ development sides, but says the stakes have never been higher than they will be on Saturday.

“This is 100 per cent the biggest game I’ve ever been involved in.”

Nelson has suffered a setback for the final with flanker and vicecaptain Fergus Hughes ruled out after fracturing his skull in a tackle.

Fergus has formed part of a formidable loose trio this season with Anton and Taya Brown.

“It’s a massive loss,” Anton says.

“He plays such a big role in our team, he and Mason (Lund) make my life so much easier on and off the field.”

However, Anton is confident the side will step up in his absence.

“Jono (Phillips), our coach, has done a great job at building depth

The side booked its spot to host the final after a dramatic semifinal against Christ’s College Nelson survived atrocious conditions, a late yellow card and an all-out Christ’s onslaught in the dying minutes to hold on for

a famous 16-10 win.

“We left heaps of points out there, but in some ways it’s positive because we know how much better we can be for next week.”

The side showed tremendous grit in the dying minutes to survive a Christ’s onslaught while camped on its own line.

The win gave Nelson hosting rights for the final for the first time since 2007.

Should Nelson win on Saturday, the side will travel south to take on Otago Boys for a spot in the country’s coveted top four tournament.

“I am hoping this is not my last game and that the best memory is still to come.”

Anton says he is extremely grateful to be part of the Nelson Rugby College legacy.

“There is so much history and have been so many great players come through the school.”

While he is staying in the region to take up a Mako contract next year, Anton says it will be hard to walk away from Nelson College “I just want to leave my mark and make the school proud.”

SportS Football: FC Nelson has claimed the Division One Championship despite losing its final fixture on Saturday. Goals to Christian Benitez, Nick Crosswell and Brandon Pierie weren’t enough as FC went down 4-3 to Suburbs development at Saxton. However, FC went on to win the title after its nearest rivals were also defeated. Tahuna, sitting second on the table, lost 4-1 to College to hand FC the crown by just two competition points.

League: Local rugby league made a welcome return to the region after a two-and-a-halfmonth recess with Nelson/Tasman taking down Marlborough at Lower Ngawhatu on Saturday.

Marlborough opened the scoring in the first set of the game benefiting from an error as Nelson Tasman failed to regather from the kickoff. The teams traded three tries each in the first half with the difference being the goal kicking from Nelson Tasman who held a narrow lead at half time 16-12. However, the hosts ran away with it in the second, the final score ended up 38-24. The return leg will be held in Oliver Park, Blenheim next Saturday.

Rugby: The region’s prized Seddon Shield will spend a second summer in Marlborough after the Tasman Red Devils produced a compelling display of wet-weather rugby to beat the Tasman Griffins 21-7 at Lansdowne Park on Saturday. By halftime the Devils led 8-7, courtesy of a try to hooker Billy Collins who was on the back of a lineout drive.

The Griffins were well led by loosie Tim Sail, while fellow flanker Jacob Norris was busy.

Football: Nelson Suburbs has kept its Southern Football League title hopes alive with an emphatic 5-1 victory over Otago on Sunday. Suburbs now sit one point clear of MPL champions Cashmere Technical at the top on the table with just one round remaining. A double to Ryan Stewart helped the hosts bounce back for its minor hiccup last week when they drew with Caversham.

Henri finished his second runs with a time of 37.25 and to claim victory in the Giant Slalom. The 15-year-old’s total time of 71.26 was almost seven seconds faster than second-placed Django Gearing. Henri is a first year FIS skier, training throughout the year in New Zealand at Rainbow, Porters, and Mount Hutt and during the summer in Japan and China. The second fastest total time on the day went to first-placed female Kate Southwick in 75.97.

Mako take down Canterbury Jonty Dine and Peter Jones If Tasman rugby fans were wondering if their side is the real deal in 2019 they can begin to believe.

The Mako has comprehensively achieved the toughest task in provincial rugby on Sunday, defeating Canterbury in Canterbury.

Sometimes fond early impressions flatter to deceive, with subsequent outings bringing supporters quickly back to earth.

However, on the basis of the Mako’s showing in Christchurch on Saturday afternoon, there is more than enough cause for optimism.

The 23-7 result, coupled with the positive style and creativity the Mako brought to the table, suggest a feast of rugby is about to be set before the Tasman faithful.

They were more clinical than their hosts, more aggressive and effective at the breakdown, kicked more accurately and chased better, applied massive pressure at set piece and subsequently “bossed” the game.

The Mako scored two first half tries, including a scorcher from winger Leicester Faingaanuku to lead 18-3 at halftime and effectively put the result to bed soon after the break with a third.

Ethan Blackadder was immense at flanker for the visitors while halfback Finlay Christie controlled his troops - effectively giving the likes of Will Jordan and Levi Aumua

room to make inroads.

Tasman now sit top of the premiership table one point ahead of 2019 champions Auckland.

The Mako took just five minutes to cross Canterbury’s line, Havili’s break giving Aumua a simple run in down the right flank for the opening try.

Brett Cameron and Mitch Hunt traded penalties before Faingaanuku made a rampaging bust from inside his own half, breaking four tackles on his way to score Tasman’s second.

Canterbury made the perfect start to the second half, winning a turnover on its own line as Josh McKay sped 99 metres to score the hosts’ first try.

However, the Mako responded almost immediately through Shannon Frizell, the try shutting the gate on Canterbury who offered little in the way of resistance and struggled to find answers to Tasman’s resolute defence.

Mako co-coach Clark Dermody said skills coach Gray Cornelius had been putting in a lot of work with the halfbacks to ensure their box kicking was on point and it had certainly paid dividends.

“We were able to play a bit faster today. The game opened up a lot more than last week, but we still need to nail some of our execution under pressure.”

The Turbos are next on the Mako radar, with that match scheduled for Blenheim at 2.35pm on Saturday.

Agha Mohammad Naqshbandi was sure never to run too far in his homeland out of fear of entering a war zone.

The Afghani refugee spent much of his younger years running for his life to escape the Taliban.

“You can’t run on the hillside or anywhere rural, people are not comfortable with that back in Afghanistan,” Agha says. “There is just too much risk, too much fighting.”

However, now based in Nelson, he enjoys the freedom to run throughout the region.

“Everywhere is peaceful and I am always comfortable to go anywhere, unlike in Afghanistan. Hopefully that will change, but it hasn’t for the past 40 years.”

Agha escaped his war-torn country at the turn of the century as a 17-year-old.

He was a member of the infamous Tampa Boys, a group of asylum seekers which caused international controversy in 2001 after being rescued at sea and denied entry to Australia.

After a diplomatic incident, New Zealand welcomed 208 of the Tampa refugees, including Agha.

His father was killed by the Taliban for refusing to appease the extremist

group.

With his family left without support, Agha made it his mission to bring them to New Zealand.

Working a variety of jobs, he managed to save enough to sponsor his mother and seven siblings to seek asylum.

“I have worked at the freezing works, Sealord, King Salmon, KFC, on vineyards, a butchery, a vegetable store and Pak n Save.”

Having almost always worked at least two jobs, Agha recently landed a position managing the Bridge St Hostel.

The job has finally granted Agha some spare time on weekends which he has used to get back into running.

After joining the Waimea Harriers Club last year, Agha has become a popular figure in the running club, drawing attention for his running attire which was always pants and a sweatshirt.

Fellow Nelson runner Phil Barnes says when Agha arrived on the running scene, he was like a breath of fresh air with his unusual approach.

“He would run in his normal clothes, yet still do surprisingly well.”

Phil says since then he has steadily improved and has a very positive enthusiastic attitude.

Agha recently ran in the Dovedale Hill Race, finishing 12th overall in 55m 10s.

The Clifton Terrace School Board of Trustees invites applications from parents who wish to enrol their sons and daughters for 2019/20 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.

The deadline for receipt of applications for out-of-zone places is Fri 23 August.

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 for the next year.

Preference will be given to those in the Year 1- 3 age group (those born 2011 - 2015). The exact number of places will depend on the number of applications received from students who live within the school’s home zone.

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 Fri 30 Aug 2019.

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

Val (Kaveney) Mum, you were someone we could talk to that no-one can replace, You were someone we could laugh with until tears ran down our face, You were someone we thought more of as each year came to an end, You were our dearest Mum and also our dearest friend.

Thank you for the memories that are yours and ours alone, For they recall so many special moments that only we have known.

Always loved, always missed. Forever in our hearts.
