NELSON

The Nelson Hospital Chaplaincy needs help to keep offering comfort and support to people in need.

Their Appeal Week will be between 23 and 27 September when a stall with different sorts of products will set up at Nelson Hospital foyer.

“The week is part of our fundraising efforts to connect and maintain connections with the community and to keep us ‘on the radar,” says Henk Lups.

Traditionally, people are invited to drop off anything that they feel the hospital can use to fundraise with.

According to Henk, everybody is invited to drop products such as books, preserves, jams, bread, muffins, cakes and slices.

“Everything that we can sell. Not the sort of the garage sale type of stuff, but stuff that people say ‘gosh, this is nice’. Not necessarily low calorie, but all very good. People are welcome to drop it off daily.”

Henk says everybody

Mel Courtney for Mayor

knows someone who has been in a hospital or who may go to a hospital and they may have been in hospital themselves.

“We are non-religious.

We are trying to connect with people. People who find it quite hard to cope with their situation or just want to have a chat. It is for people of all faith or no faith. It doesn’t matter to us at all. It is really about the person and not what their beliefs are. That’s irrelevant.”

During the Appeal Week, the stall will be open between 10am and 3pm.

Nelson cricket crisis continues Locally Owned and Operated

Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Nelson Cricket has suffered another major blow with its general manager David Leonard resigning from the organisation just weeks after an external review highlighted major issues with the organisation’s governance.

In June, stakeholders were informed of a $74,000 financial loss in Nelson Cricket’s endof-year accounts prompting an external review by Central Districts, the governing body of the sport in the region.

That review attributes poor financial administration, inadequate reporting and a lack of oversight. As a result, Nelson Cricket chairperson Rod Baxendine stepped down with board member Nettles Lamont taking over as chair.

The new indoor centre at Saxton Field was cited as a major reason for the financial failings.

The centre was funded by $200,000 from Nelson Cricket’s reserves, cost more than anticipated and income the centre was expected to generate didn’t materialise.

Other initiatives such as the

It is exciting times with challenges, but I am sure that Nelson Cricket will continue to grow and lead the game in our community. The upcoming international between the Blackcaps and England will be a massive event for the region and by far the biggest game of cricket ever played in the region.”

Previously David had played for Wanderers, Nelson and Central Districts before becoming a director of Nelson Cricket in 2009 and chair of the board in 2012 until standing down in 2015, to work first as a commercial manager and then general manager of Nelson Cricket.

David’s last day at Nelson Cricket will be October 7.

Club Hub proved costly.

The programme aimed to strengthen the game’s long-term health within the region but cost Nelson Cricket $150,000.

The management of a major T20 international between the Black Caps and England at Saxton Field in November was also handed to Central Districts after the conclusion of the review, despite Nelson Cricket winning the pitch for the game.

And now the resignation of the sport’s general manager will create more headaches for those running the sport in the region.

David, in a statement to Nelson Weekly, says he’s sad the way his involvement with Nelson Cricket has ended.

“I feel privileged to have had such a long involvement in Nelson Cricket and wish them

Imagine Nelson without a council Consider what would happen if there was no local government. Assume that one day Nelson City Council just disappears - people still exist and the infrastructure is there, but the laws, rules, systems and policies disappear.

Reporter Kate Russell imagines how dire life in Nelson would be - highlighting why council is important, and why you should vote next month, for those who can make the best decisions for our city.

I wake up to the stench of something foul smelling wafting through the window. Oh, that’s right, there’s no rubbish or recycling collection anymore, so rubbish bags are piled up on the street.

Or could it be that broken wastewater pipe down the road?

It’s probably a combination of both.

My daughter yells out to me, telling me there’s no water in the tap. Even if there was, I wouldn’t trust it would be clean. The toilet doesn’t flush either.

It’s time to drop the kids at school. We go to get in the car, but I remember the road is full of potholes and traffic is in chaos.

We could bike, but there are cracks and weeds everywhere and no cycle lanes anymore.

Maybe we could catch the bus?

Oh, that’s right, there is no public transport.

We walk, although it’s not easy.

It’s been raining, and with no stormwater network anymore

Nelson would likely look a lot less like this if there wasn’t a council around. Photo: File.

Kate Russell. there’s flooding everywhere which just adds to the mess that burst watermain down the road has made.

We’ll also have to watch out for all those unregistered dogs running rampant.

At school, I bump into a friend who used to work at the council.

Like her, hundreds of other Nelsonians are unemployed.

After school, we decide to go for a walk along the Maitai River.

Afterall, my kids can’t play football anymore since there are

no maintained sports fields.

There are also no libraries and no walking tracks.

We get to the Maitai, but it’s a mess. The grass and weeds are almost too thick to see the river, but from what we can make out, it’s full of rubbish with no wildlife to be seen. Our waterways are in terrible shape with no environmental monitoring.

Now my son needs to use the bathroom, but there are no public toilets. There is also no inner city carparking.

We’re finally home. It’s starting to get dark earlier now - probably from all the heavy smoke in the air. Without council, people are using their non-compliant

fireplaces and burning whatever they want.

Not to mention my neighbour building a shoddy second dwelling on his front yard that blocks all my sun. You don’t need to get a building consent for these things anymore. Resource consents have also gone out the window.

This is just a small taste of what life would be like without Nelson City Council. Cemeteries, parks and reserves would be wildly overgrown, there would be no Nayland Pool or Founders Park, and either no or a limited museum.

There would be no new projects, no extra funding for community groups, no noise control and no alcohol licencing. The city would

also be a pretty boring place to be with no Arts Festival, summer events, Trafalgar Centre or Saxton Stadium.

So, if you are planning on not voting, or you’re sitting on the fence about it - take a minute to think about what life would be like without council.

The one mayor and 12 councillors we vote for make the decisions on how our city is run, how it functions and how money is spent. It’s important.

Voting opens this week, with polling day on 12 October. Get out there and vote, it’s not too late to enrol - go to www.vote.co.nz Front page illustration by Syahmi Ismail.

This week we explore what the city might look like The debate will pit the five major mayoral candidates against each other – Rachel Reese, without a council. We ask locals how they believe Mel Courtney, Tim Skinner, Bill Dahlberg they would be affected and if we would be better off? and Mike Ward – in a format that is sure to challenge each of them on the issues they are standing for.

Those who cannot attend in person can watch the debate live through the Nelson Weekly’s Facebook page.

Weekly editor Charles Anderson says the idea is to make local politics more engaging than it usually is.

“Only half of us vote and part of the reason is people think council is boring. We are going to try and show people that it doesn’t have to be.”

David KarenaHolmes “Disposal is already a major problem and it would get far worse.

We need responsible people making policies we can follow.”

NCG honey proves a sweet hit Jonty Dine Reporter

Nelson College for Girls students Freya High and Sarah Cools planned to spend the most of last week selling jars of honey at lunchtime.

However, the homegrown honey proved so popular it sold out in less than an hour.

The girls sold almost 40 jars from the 20kg of honey produced from the school’s two beehives.

Sarah says she was surprised at how quickly the jars went out the door.

The initiative was the latest project from the school’s envirogroup.

Funds raised from the sales will be put back into envirogroup projects with a strong focus of conservationism.

Freya says there were a number of surprising lessons during the process.

“The honey was really hard to get in jars, we bent and broke a lot of spoons.”

She says it took ‘more than two lunchtimes to get it all into jars, which were all donated by students.

But not before giving it the seal of approval with their own taste test.

“We tried some and it was really good.”

Deputy head girl Emma Edwards says there was real life learning.

“We have learned about how we can help support the ecosystem around our school and also the positive impact that bees have on our environment. This project as a whole has taught us about sustainability in the fact that the wrappers, hives and honey all work together and allow each other to keep happening- without one of these smaller initiatives, the other two would not be able to happen.”

CBD enhancement budget ‘overly ambitious’ Sara Hollyman Reporter

sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz

The Nelson City Council has failed to spend a $200,000 budget set aside for CBD enhancement, but say it was perhaps “overly ambitious” to think they would do so in the project’s first year.

The council was given the capital expenditure budget as part of the 2018/19 financial year to allow them to purchase assets for the CBD. Team leader city development Lisa Gibbelini says that the budget does not roll over but there is allocation for the current financial year to continue with the work.

She says it might have been “overly ambitious” to spend on assets, considering council only appointed a new city centre development lead, in the form of Alan Gray, eight months ago.

“We have a budget for one year, if you don’t manage to spend it, it doesn’t roll over, but we have a budget for every year,” Lisa says.

She says they might struggle to spend this year’s capital expenditure budget as well,

although the closure of Upper Trafalgar St may use some.

“We can’t just go out and spend money willy nilly - there needs to be a plan in place.”

Alan Gray was appointed as the city-centre programme development lead in December last year.

He stresses that there has been a lot going on since he began his role but says a lot of it does not require capital expenditure.

“I want to fly in high and get the strategy right then think ‘ok, we agree to this, let’s get in there and find out what that means’.

He says that things that his team has been working on include: • Bringing lime scooters or something similar into the region.

• Parking – including relaxing the number of carparks required for city-fringe developments.

• City centre forum with retailers and landlords.

• Makeshift Spaces – using the frontage of empty retail spaces for art installations.

• Launched a Public Life Survey to monitor and observe the type of activities that are happening in the city; who’s busking, who’s

laying out in the sun, who’s eating, how many kids are out, what are the gender mixes and the age groups.

• Four Lanes Festival • Closing of Upper Trafalgar St Flagtrax – the new permanent flagpoles around the city.

Some have LED lights that the teams are looking to extend throughout the CBD. • Developing the City Centre Programme Plan which council is looking to adopt tomorrow.

• Looking at how to make the CBD a more liveable centre – according to the 2013 Census only 75 people live within a 500m radius of the city centre.

“We’re already starting to find the city’s changing; there’s a real different attitude from the time I started to now,” says Alan.

“Some of this is about getting the wheel in the right direction so once we are digging in the ground and spending a lot of money to do physical works that it’s going in the right direction.

“It takes a little bit of time but it’s one of these things you just have to wait a little bit. We’re getting some momentum; I’m encouraged.”

$5.7m of discounts to be provided to consumers Network Tasman will credit a total of $5.7m to consumers’ September or October power bills. Consumer ownership and a focus on cost efficiency has enabled Network Tasman to credit $178 million of discounts back to consumers in the region since the discount scheme’s inception in 1994.

After almost 70 years since it was established, Nelson Intermediate School has its first female principal - and she couldn’t be more at home in her new role.

Diane Webb is now one term deep into leading over 400 students and nearly 40 staff at the school.

The position was made vacant earlier this year by Hugh Gully, who, after 12 years at the helm, took over as principal at Collingwood Area School.

Diane says she’s had a “good training ground” after being the deputy principal at Hampden St School for six years, and before that, principal of a small rural school in Central Otago.

“My first term has been really busy, but a really lovely experience. I’ve been getting to know the place and the staff are warm and welcoming. It’s just such a good place to be. I feel like ‘yes, I’m glad I’m here’.”

Diane says she knew from a young age that she wanted to be a teacher and landed her first job in Auckland when she was just 18.

“My auntie was an early childhood teacher and I always thought that was what I wanted to do, but then I went to teacher’s college and realised that this is the age group I want to teach,” she says.

“I’ve always loved this age. I just love where they are at with their development.”

Diane is no stranger to Nelson Intermediate School, with her daughter going through there, and during her time working with transitioning students from Hampden St School.

“When the opportunity arose, I just took it. I feel well prepared and I’m really well supported.”

One of the changes Diane has been instrumental in driving is the transition to composite year seven and eight classes from 2020.

“After interviewing staff, it came through that there was a desire for this,” she says.

“You spend the first six months getting to know students and their whanau and then you hand them over and it’s another six months.

Every school they come from is composite. It means the older ones can nurture the younger ones but still gives all the students an opportunity for leadership.”

Diane says there are plenty of things she wants to achieve in her time as principal.

“We have a strong Maori medium class this year, and for the first time we have a group competing in the kapa haka nationals. That’s a real positive for us,” she says.

“I want us to become a leading intermediate educator in Nelson, and for the community to proud of the school.”

Extra show for Nanogirl Due to overwhelming demand in Nelson, a second performance of the all-new Nanogirl Live! Bring on the Noise show has just been announced.

Nanogirl live! is the world’s only female-led live science show, and will be bringing their signature explosive theatrics to the Theatre Royal for two shows on 5 November, with performances at 5pm and 7pm.

In the show, Nanogirl - a character created and performed by worldrenowned scientist educator Dr Michelle Dickinson - and her

assistant Boris will take audiences on an explosive adventure exploring the science of sound.

The show is ideal for children aged 7-12, but the amazing feats of science and engineering will entertain all ages.

Tickets and full details of the touring schedule can be found online at nanogirllive.co.nz The show will include opportunities for children to join Nanogirl on stage to assist with experiments, and allow budding young scientists to ask Nanogirl their top science question.

I love Nelson, home to my family for 35 years. But in the three years I’ve represented you on Council, I’ve realised we can and must do better.

It is unacceptable to have high rates rises while Council struggles to deliver projects on time or within budget. We need strong leadership to get the Council team working together for you and our growing region.

I have the skills and experience needed.

For 20 years I owned a local company providing financial advice to families and businesses, and chaired its NZ Board.

I was appointed a Rata Foundation Director for eight years, established Warmer Healthier Homes Nelson/Tasman (insulating 1,500 homes), and helped re-home Nelson Netball to Saxton Field. I’ve coached the Nelson Giants and many local basketballers.

I understand business, the community and our environmental challenges. I seek the privilege of working as your Mayor. I would appreciate your vote.

Great Kereru Count is back in Nelson

Nelson City Council is encouraging locals to take part in the annual Great Kereru Count a project which helps identify the number of the protected native bird in New Zealand.

It’s the country’s biggest citizen science project and runs from 20 – 29 September. Any observations will help council fill in the gaps, to see where kereru are (and are not) in Nelson, and how their numbers are changing each year.

The number of people taking part in the Great Kereru Count is growing and this year council want to double the number of observations. Last year there were 200 observations and a total of 400 kereru.

All you have to do is spend between five and 30 minutes looking for kereru at any spot in

Nelson, and record any you see (including if you see none), then log your observation.

Kereru are endemic to New Zealand, and their numbers have fallen from the numbers reported 50-100 years ago.

They are an integral part of our ecosystem as they are the only native bird that can spread the larger fruit of native trees like tawa and matai. No other mainland bird is large enough to fulfil this function, making the species essential for forest regeneration.

The Great Kereru Count is the only centralised data gathered to monitor the overall national trends of this significant bird.

For more information and to take part in the count, go to www.greatkererucount.nz

22 September. Mayor Rachel Reese says the weekend will give everyone a chance to try the bus for free. “I encourage all Nelsonians to give NBus a go. We know we all need to make changes to address the climate emergency. We’re asking everyone to think about what they can do differently, as we start to think about how we can do the same with how we operate at council.”

Crash victim stable: A person who was transported to Nelson Hospital after a crash on Whakatu Drive is in a stable condition. A police spokeswoman said officers responded at 10.35pm on Sunday to a report of a vehicle crashing into a tree along the Whakatu Drive section of State Highway 6, between Annesbrook Drive and the Saxton Rd West off ramp. St John sent two vehicles to the scene at 10.46pm and took one person to Nelson Hospital in a critical condition. A hospital spokeswoman said the patient was in a stable condition on Monday morning.

Free bus rides: Nelsonians will be able to enjoy free trips on the NBus this weekend to mark both Zero Emissions and World Car Free Day. The initiative from Nelson City Council, with support from Tasman District Council, will offer free trips on all NBus services including the Late Late Bus on September 21 and

Central School crank it up: The annual Central Crank bike relay is back this weekend - and this year it’s bigger and better than ever. Nelson Central School and part of St Joseph’s School will be transformed into a mini mountain bike course this Sunday, and this year it will also include a mega bike sale. There will be plenty of prizes and an interactive event village, and this year, in association with the Nelson Mountain Bike Club, there will be second-hand bikes, parts and accessories up for grabs.

The event is on this Sunday 22 September from 10am - 3pm. For more info and registration go to www.centralcrank.co.nz

Your Voice Please vote: It’s soon our chance to vote for 12 city councillors and one mayor. But it’s wretched that only half of those of us who can vote, do vote. However boring it is, please make the effort to vote, if only because it’s our money that pays councillors around 40k a year ($800 per week) and the mayor around 100k a year ($2000 per week). It’s also pretty dismal when you see the advanced age of some candidates. (Being 71 myself, I feel able to criticise). Ward and Courtney - if they really want to help the community should consider volunteering for Age Concern or delivering Meals on Wheels, not presuming to stand for mayor.

After all, this is Nelson - not Beijing. We definitely need a change of mayor, to reboot the system and get things moving ahead. It’s a very busy and stressful job if done properly and it needs somebody dynamic and, dare I say it,

modern. Living in Brook St, you can guess who I’m voting for.

Similarly, I’m pleased to see at least one young councillor candidate I can support. Again, with my connection with a certain local locksmiths - you may guess who will be receiving my tick.

Andrew Rose No more letters: I will not be submitting any more letters as 90 per cent of those I have submitted have not been published. It appears to me and others that you have been bought by council.

The people deserve better than what you are giving them, considering the corruption at NCC. I will certainly use every means necessary to let it be known what your attitude to these issues appears to be, issues that should be addressed by the fourth estate.

turing nudists. These people have no place in our society and for a newspaper to advertise this level of human degradation is abysmal.

The standard can’t really get any lower. Any form of journalism has influence on weak minds and for the standard to be dropped like this it shows a complete flaw in the responsibility of the editor of this unfortunate paper. Society is at a very low ebb as it is without promoting such base activities.

Do you honestly believe that children won’t be subjected to the front page? Would you like your children to see that? Looking for change.

Jessica Smith Climate change: There is the tradition, some would say obligation, for each adult generation to prepare for and protect the youth of any period. Perhaps the most noble attribute that humans have is to provide nurture far in excess of any simple survival function.

The best of our youth caring is cherishing and celebrating them.

We will go to war, if necessary, to

protect their freedoms and we would rather die than lose their future. This, for me, is why it is so hard to understand the relative lack of action on climate change.

I know it is large and hard to understand, but when 97 per cent of experts in climate science say we are in an existential threat, that is pretty motivating. We are staring down the barrel of mass migration from sections of the world that are becoming unliveable, resource wars that will ruin the world economy, and the diminution of much of what we love in life. Pretty much everything about our way of life is threatened; even things like your retirement, your groceries and the family pet. But topping the list is our children’s future. I think I speak for most of us in saying I would do anything to protect them. Therefore, when faced with an existential problem for our children, it is a call to action.

Please consider climate change chaos as a call to action. We have a hope of minimalising the disruption, if we change our direction in a concerted way. Con-

Nelson Matters The latest suicide figures from the coroner are awful. New Zealand’s toll for the year to June 2019 hit a new high of 685 with the last month the worst ever at 79. The annual numbers for Nelson and Marlborough were 20 up from 12 the year before. Words cannot describe the anguish and grief that goes with each life lost.

The suicide issue requires sensitivity and compassion. There is no place for the blame game or partisan politics. We need to heed the expert evidence that excessive publicity can risk more deaths but we also need to confront the hard questions.

My local constituency work this month included dealing with a

tragic death at Franklin Village early on Sunday 1st September.

The man had fallen on tough times over winter, knew he was not OK and sought help. Our Emergency Department turned him away in the days prior. He met, supported by friends, with the Mental Health Community Assessment Team the night prior. His friends were horrified by the way his suicidal concerns were dismissed and care refused.

His death, like many others, was preventable.

I am following up his case with our District Health Board and the Suicide Prevention Office.

My worry is that I am getting an increasing number of com-

plaints about deteriorating mental health services. Staff morale is low, turnover has been awful and too many good professionals have resigned. The Health Board, Chair and CEO have fairly heard my concerns. They are frustrated that none of the promised additional resources from Government have yet materialised for front line services.

Preventing suicide is a really tough issue. The current and previous Governments have both taken initiatives to reverse the tide. This month there was cross party agreement to work together on the issue. We need a science based approach that taps into the very best evidence

Nelson housing unaffordability grows: I don't think it is the house prices so much but high costs of living and low wages. Years ago I did the $2.25 a day challenge and even the cheapest food was significantly cheaper in Wellington.

on what will work. We also need to be cautious of change that will make the problem worse. I worry that the debate on euthanasia feeds a culture that some lives are not worth living. I am also concerned that liberalizing cannabis will just add to our mental health and suicide woes.

Part of the solution is ensuring people are connected and valued. That’s why I am such a strong supporter of sports, arts, church and other community groups that enable people to be engaged with their community.

We must also salute all the social service organisations in Nelson, whether it is the Male Room, Women’s Refuge, Age Concern,

‘Missing’ trail link opens Bruno Saia

Next Sunday you will have an excellent reason to take your bike out of the garage when a new section of the Great Taste Trail opens. and head to Wakefield for the opening of Tasman’s Great Taste Trail from Wakefield to Hoult Valley.

This new section of trail is 3.8km long and follows the Wai-iti River from Pigeon Valley Road to Hoult Valley Road.

“This has been the missing link in the Great Taste Trail for a number of years while new sections of trail have been developed from Wai-iti Domain to Kohatu,” says Josh Aldridge, trail manager from Nelson Tasman Cycle Trails Trust.

Until now, riders have had to ride along State Highway 6 south of Wakefield to Wai-iti Domain, where the off-road trail continues to Spooners Tunnel. Josh says it is a popular feature of the trail and at 1.35km long is the longest tunnel in the southern hemisphere that you can ride your bike through.

Josh says the vision for the Great Taste Trail is a complete loop, showcasing the region’s best tastes including scenery, food and wine, arts and history. The next stage of development will take riders from Kohatu to Tapawera along the historic railway alignment before following the Motueka River to Riwaka.

The total cost of the Wakefield to Hoult Valley Road section

of trail is $620,000, which is part of a $4.8m investment in the trail over three years. The project is funded 50 percent

by Tasman District Council and local businesses with the remaining 50 percent coming from central government.

Nelson Tasman Cycle Trails Trust is managing the project with the aim of completing the 175km loop by 2021.

The Wakefield to Hoult Valley Road section will remain closed until September 29.

There will be a ribbon-cutting at the entrance to the trail by Pigeon Valley Road bridge at 1.30pm, followed by a group ride to Hoult Valley Road for refreshments before returning to Wakefield.

Headmaster to step down from Nelson College Locally Owned and Operated

Charles Anderson

Editor

charles@nelsonweekly.co.nz

After 40 years in education, Nelson College headmaster Gary O’Shea says he will never lead another school when he steps down next year.

Gary announced his retirement last week after 14 years at the helm of one of New Zealand’s oldest schools. But he says his legacy will be the change in the school’s conservative culture.

Gary says a few things recently collided leading to him making the decision. He and his wife had hoped to retire to Kenepuru Sound but they realised their autistic son, who they hoped would eventually transition to independent living, needed to be with them.

They have been living in Motueka where they have space and where Gary has become involved with the local community gardens.

Gary has overseen a transformation in the school

“Fundamentally it is a caring culture.”

The prefect system is gone, and Nelson College has undergone an identify shift from a pure “bully

boy, rugby school” to “a school for every boy”.

“It is about trumpeting the male values of loyalty and strength but not violence.”

While Gary says that the school

boarding rates are still suffering from a bullying scandal several years ago, he believes Nelson College has all the hall marks of a co-education school. He says that the board should consider moving towards including girls at some stage.

He says that many boys’ schools are becoming more conservative as they look for simple answers, but believes Nelson doesn’t want that.

“Nelson is eclectic, it’s refugees, it wants its arts and drama. It wants its boys’ school to be compassionate, it wants diversity.

That’s the sort of boy’s school we want to be.”

Gary has also helped the college transform its business practice, updating and modernising two of its boarding houses which it now rents out year-round. While that resulted in a hefty debt, he says that the gambit is paying off.

“It’s a business model that is working.”

However, he lamented an ongoing dispute with a former

employee and his brother which has dragged on for three years.

“That has been disgraceful … there is no doubt it’s been a drain on school resources and on me. It’s been like running two jobs.”

In among that dispute, however, the Education Review Office (ERO) 4-5 year reviews placed Nelson College in the top 10 per cent of New Zealand schools in both 2012 and 2016.

Gary will step down at the beginning of next year with the school board thanking him for his exemplary service.

However, he is not leaving the profession completely, having set up a consultancy business to help mentor school principals.

“The profession doesn’t hold its repository of knowledge well.

It’s a lonely job and it’s not very collegial because schools are competitive for kids.”

He says that he aims to be a “sounding board” for school leaders who might benefit from his years of experience.

Nelson Fonterra site selected for bold water-saving target

Sara Hollyman

Reporter

sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Fonterra’s Brightwater plant is part of a bold new target to save more than 3.4 billion litres of water every year.

The dairy cooperative has announced that six of its manufacturing sites in waterconstrained regions will reduce their water use by 30 per cent by 2030 as part of its move to accelerate sustainability to the heart of its strategy.

Upper South Island operations manager Chris Win welcomes the challenge and says the whole team is on board with the initiative.

“To be honest, it’s pretty cool.

We have to go to community meetings and be accountable for our site, but more than that, this is our community, we live here and our staff get asked tough questions when they’re out, so it’s great to be able to say ‘well here’s what we’re doing’.”

Fonterra says Brightwater has been chosen as one of six plants to participate because water is in

high demand in the region.

Chris says the team learned a lot during the drought early in the year.

“It was a tough time for the area,z but when you get the right reason to do something it allows you to focus. The water constraints were felt by a lot of businesses and residents, so we are, I guess, further ahead in the thought process of how we are going to rise to this challenge.”

The site has already made a start with an upgraded metering system and several other new initiatives in the pipeline.

This includes using recycled water to wash tankers and making repairs on machinery that they didn’t realise wasn’t functioning as well as it could be.

Fonterra chief operating officer global operations Robert Spurway says taking a targeted approach to the six sites will ultimately result in better efficiency and outcomes.

“Water is a precious resource and we can’t take it for granted. For some parts of New Zealand, water isn’t always in the right place at the right time, and our water use in these regions can put stress

He says the target will require some clever ideas and creative thinking, but the site teams are already rising to the challenge.

“Reducing our water use at our manufacturing sites is the right thing to do for the environment and for the communities we operate in. That’s why we’ve set this new target, which will save

billions of litres of water,” says Robert.

Brightwater is one of the six sites, alongside Maungaturoto, Lichfield, Darfield, Clandeboye and Edendale.

Trust chair Brent Thawley says Padma, who is currently the Arts Education Manager of the Corban Estate Arts Centre in West Auckland, will bring her rich experience in arts management and community engagement to the Festival.

He says she is also a qualified architect, and this, combined with her experience in the arts, is a great fit for the Trust’s strategy to make the festival more visible in the city and other community spaces, and explore new ideas for existing and new locations.

Dakota Davis loves Japan – she loves the language, the culture and the food.

So, when the 10-year-old Hira School student asked her mum, Sarah, if she could go there for a trip, it didn’t come as a surprise, but how to get there financially was another story.

With three younger siblings, it wasn’t as easy as simply booking a trip. So, they set about coming up with a plan for Dakota to raise the money needed to get herself and her parents to Japan.

“She’s just zoned in on it, which I think is fabulous. I couldn’t convince her to go anywhere else and I couldn’t deny her of it,” says Sarah.

Dakota started teaching herself how to write and speak Japanese and tried to immerse herself in the culture as much as she could.

“I told Dakota if she wanted to go, she would need to do the research and figure out exactly how much it was all going to cost.”

Dakota estimated she would need $6000 for flights, accommodation, food, and activities for one week in Japan with her

mum and dad.

The first idea that came to mind was baking, but having never baked before, and Sarah being an avid sewer, the decision was made to make key fobs.

Sarah gave the tools and support to start making them, and soon she had a large collection.

A simple post on a local North Nelson Facebook page sent sales through the roof, with locals happy to support Dakota’s goal.

Having surpassed $200 in sales and with stock levels running low, Dakota is now focussing on making more.

She has had orders from businesses and is looking forward to making personalised fobs with business logos.

Requests for specific fabric or designs are also welcome.

Dakota’s goal is to make it to Japan in three years, but Sarah says with the effort she’s putting in and the success that she is having so far, she should be able to get there sooner.

“She’s working so hard, and it’s been so nice to be able to spend one on one time with her, away from the other kids, helping her reach her goal,” says Sarah.

Renee Lang was a volunteer during the Pigeon Valley fires and witnessed the extraordinary effort made by animal charities such as HUHA (Helping You Help Animals) and Nelson Ark. She kept wondering how they, and a large number of people who helped, could be acknowledged.

So, with Polly Rabbits, an accomplished illustrator, graphic designer and fellow animal lover the children’s book ‘But Who’s Looking After the Animals?’ was born.

The beautifully illustrated children’s book

tells the story of how the fire started during the hot summer and the decision to make Richmond Showgrounds a sanctuary for any animal in need.

Renee says it is dedicated to “all the wonderful people who stepped up during this difficult and volatile time”.

The publisher intends to donate a significant proportion of the income from the sales to national organisation HUHA and to the Nelson Ark, a local organisation that is an animal rescue shelter.

Nelson Ark brings together people of all ages as participants or volunteers, to learn the value of responsibility and patience.

Big Sing to welcome Spring Locally Owned and Operated

Staff Reporter Surround sound will take on a new meaning in Nelson this week with a mass choir set to deliver a unique performance.

The choir will be singing to the audience from all sides of Nelson College Hall, surrounding them with four-part harmony, interspersed with individual performances from each choir.

Boathouse Choir coordinator

Alice Robin says singers are gathering from Nelson, Motueka, Golden Bay and the West Coast to thrill the audience as 190 voices celebrate the arrival of spring.

“Everyone is invited to come and immerse themselves in a rich repertoire of songs from around the world, sung with passion and commitment by these seven community choirs from across the region.”

She says, be prepared to be

moved, surprised, uplifted and delighted by this hugely popular bi-annual event.

Alice says this heart-of-thecommunity event would bring together people from all walks of life for the love of music.

“Being community choirs, singing is encouraged for everyone - with no auditions to join or requirement to read music, and teaching is all done by ear.”

One of the region’s most popular charities is set to reap the rewards from one of the country’s most popular drives. Z Energy’s iconic “Good in the Hood” campaign is again underway, and the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter Trust has taken a significant lead as one of the four charities of choice customers can vote for. The initiative gives locals the chance to vote for the neighbourhood groups they most want to support. The winning charity will receive $5000. As a show of more goodwill, the NMRHT crew were on hand at the Stoke Z station on Wednesday to clean customer’s cars. Photo: Jonty Dine.

Alice says the choir will perform songs in languages from a range of regions around the world including Celtic, Maori and Spanish.

“If you are unable to take a holiday at the moment, this is a good chance to be transported around the world.”

She says the performers bring genuine excitement and incredible passion to their performance.

“They do it because they love it and when people come, they will realise how many great singers there are in the region.”

Two 90-minute concerts commencing at 2.30pm and 7pm.

Doors open 30 minutes before each concert. Tickets $12 adult and $7 child available from: Ticket Direct and in cash on the door.

STIHL Shop Nelson is under the proud new ownership of Michelle and Isaac Russell.

The couple and their two children recently returned home after 13 years of international teaching in Dubai, Angola, Sudan and Tanzania.

Owning a lifestyle block in north Nelson, the couple say the decision to move back to Michelle’s hometown of Nelson was one that brought with it the exciting opportunity to purchase STIHL Shop Nelson.

Having taken over on August 1, Isaac and Michelle are excited about building a reputation of great customer service that encourages people to return.

"It’s something we’ve talked a lot about; offering that quality customer experience," says Michelle.

"We want people to be leaving here really happy with the service they get, whether it’s from the workshop or the team out front."

Not only does the store stock the full range of STIHL outdoor power equipment that rural customers have come to expect, they have plenty on offer for city dwellers, too.

They offer an extensive range of battery-power tools that are zero emission with low noise, which really fits in with the growing concerns that come

Michelle says their batterypowered lawn mowers are a perfect example, supported by Consumer New Zealand’s recommendation of Stihl’s cordless lawnmowers as the top brand you can buy.

"They are super-quiet, with no fuel or oil required and are light, with cutting and catching qualities of traditional petrol lawnmowers."

The workshop is an area that the STIHL Shop Nelson continues to excel in. Workshop manager Jason has been with the store for five years and holds a vast amount of knowledge and expertise on servicing a wide range of engines and outdoor power equipment.

Luke was brought on board to join the workshop team in August, which ensures that the

servicing team are able to meet customer demand.

Whether it be sharpening the secateurs and hedge trimmers or maintenance and repair work on ride-on mowers or chainsaws; the mechanics will get the job done to the high standard STIHL Shops are renowned for.

The STIHL Shop team say that any small engine deserves to be well looked after and they are well-placed to maintain not just STIHL, but all outdoor power equipment, not limited to brush cutters, blowers, chainsaws and lawnmowers.

“STIHL is a recognised, quality product and part of that is there’s a service element that goes with it, so that when you pull it out of the shed in spring after it’s been parked up, it will perform like it’s supposed to do. Annual servicing of most

Without a doubt, STIHL Shop Nelson is the place to go for all your outdoor power equipment needs. You’ll not only find the essential STIHL items like chainsaws, hedge trimmers, blowers and brush cutters, but it’s the extra brands the store carry like the Hansa chippers, Honda generators and pumps, Wagner Paint Spray Systems, Silky Saws, Hustler zero-turn ride-on mowers, Canycom

slope brush cutters, Masport, Rover, and Cub Cadet rideons that make it a destination for any of your outdoor equipment needs.

They also keep a fully stocked safety equipment range including chaps, helmets and protective gear. As well as your standard STIHL 2 stroke oil and bar lube, you will find files, chains, bars, nylon and a range of gardening tools.

The team will go the extra mile and show you how to use your

new equipment and can even arrange demonstrations of bigger equipment like ride-on mowers for those looking to purchase.

You may be looking for something to enjoy after you’ve finished the property maintenance and STIHL Shop has that covered too with their range of portable, double and triple burner Ziegler and Brown barbeques that will not disappoint.

Every few weeks we catch up with someone interesting with a good yarn to tell. This week we catch up with Ruby Needham who spent five years in the male-dominated industry of super-yachts. She smashed stereotypes and became a deckhand adventuring around the world.

“I was teaching in a kindy here in Nelson and I was thinking ‘I’m 21, I’m a qualified teacher, I’ve got all this paperwork’ and I was like ‘this is not me’. I loved the kids, but it was a lot of responsibility.

I had met friends of friends who had done a bit of yachting, so I dug into it and thought ‘right, this is what I’m going to do’.

I completed the Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers and then headed for Antibes, France.

I gave myself one week to get a job and managed to get an interview the next day. I didn’t even know what I was going in to.

The chief stewardess asked me all these questions and I didn’t really know the answers. I messed it up, I left thinking ‘I really screwed that up’.

Then I saw some crew unloading a van with provisions and they had formed this big chain and they looked like they were kind of struggling so I just said, ‘do you guys need a hand’. Before I even got to the end of the dock

the chief stewardess rung me and asked me to come back.

I jumped on board and I’m in this saloon with sheets covering everything, there’s mirrors everywhere, velvet all on the walls, crazy carpet, and I’m sitting there just thinking ‘how did this happen’.

She interviewed me then went and talked to the captain and came back and said ‘here’s the figure, if you’re happy you start tomorrow’.

So, there I was working on a 50-metre yacht, living in a cabin with three girls and a tiny wardrobe, doing housekeeping, laundry, and serving guests, sailing Sardinia, Corsica, Malta, Balearic Islands, Spain, Sicily, Croatia and Montenegro.

The turning point in my career was when I was cleaning the corner of a cabin with a toothpick, making sure there wasn’t even a minute piece of dust, and I looked out the port hole and saw all the guys hooning round on jet skis.

I thought ‘why am I in here

Ruby Needham tells her story of travelling the world on super yachts. Photo: Sara Hollyman cleaning and they are out there having all the fun’.

After that season I completed my Yacht Master and went hunting for another job as a deckhand.

I was the only girl. Sometimes it was a bit awkward because I’d have this epic day and then come into my cabin and the girls had been up for hours longer than me cleaning hard, so I couldn’t really vocalise how awesome my day was.

I was a dive guide and the coolest thing I’ve seen diving is a white tip shark that came in and circled us. It was massive, we all had to huddle together to make ourselves a bigger mass. It went round twice, then swam off.

That was scary, we got out of

there but had to do a threeminute safety stop at five metres and that’s the dodgy bit where you’re just bobbing around.

After five years I needed a challenge and wanted to do something for myself, so I went to Everest Base Camp and I thought when I was standing on the mountain I’d just know what to do next; ‘I can’t galivant round the world forever, I wanted to meet someone, I only meet fish and sharks out there’.

So, I came home.

Now my partner and I have this property in the Marlborough Sounds that’s this amazing place where we feel refreshed and that’s going to be my next adventure”.

FC put up a brave fight Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

It wasn’t the slaughter many expected but Nelson FC will still require a miracle if they are to play MPL next season after being beaten 3-2 in the first leg of qualification on Saturday.

FC were well out-classed by the Christchurch club champions at a wet and windy Guppy Park but put up a brave fight to win the second half and give themselves a chance to salvage a draw.

However, the Canterbury juggernaut was too strong and quashed the fairy tale finish to FC’s historic season.

Coach Paul Brydon says it was a great result in the end considering the 3-0 halftime deficit.

“To come back and lose 3-2 was great and gives us something to fight for next week.”

It took a little over five minutes for the visitors to strike as Benjudah Fitzpatrick set a beautiful bending

ball into the top left of the net.

Christchurch lived up to its favourite tag early on, putting a number of shots on goal and generally dominating across the pitch.

Fitzpatrick looked to have scored a second with an open goal in front of him but managed to find the upright.

However, the second came moments later as Fitzpatrick made no such mistake to bag a brace.

The host’s best chance for points came late in the half but Jamane Wilson’s effort was just wide of the mark.

FC absorbed plenty of pressure. Just as it seemed it would survive until halftime, Jorje Cuero struck to send his side to the sheds ahead 3-0.

A superb save by FC keeper Dean Hill kicked off the action in the second in what was the start of a defiant period on defence.

FC held off a relentless attack before Labu Pan netted a stunning free kick to give his side a chance with 20 to play.

The belief then intensified as FC went back-to-back in two minutes through an own goal as Christchurch netted a deflection

to give the home side every chance of causing an upset.

But the Christchurch defence proved too tough to crack a

third time as the rain fell and the visitors closed out the first leg.

The return leg will see FC travel to Christchurch on September 21.

After causing an upset by finishing sixth in the South Island, the Nayand College basketball team is now preparing to take on the best in the country.

Nayland qualified for nationals for the first time in five years after topping its pool at the South Island competition held in Nelson last week.

The side is now faced with the tall task of raising $10,000 in less than three weeks for the unexpected trip to Palmerston North.

Few gave Nayland much chance of progressing past the South Island leg, having drawn a pool which included Nelson College, who had beaten them four times previously this season.

However, the team defied predictions and rankings, winning four of its six games to book its spot.

Coach Sam Dempster says it was an incredible effort from his side.

“It was a huge week; the boys have been working really hard and training every morning for the past few weeks, so it’s a compliment to the work they do.”

Sam says to win such a competitive pool was hugely satisfying.

“Everyone looked at our pool and saw it as the toughest, so to come out on top was huge.”

Though they will head to the national tournament ranked 24th out of 24 teams, they are thriving on the underdog status.

“We showed we can compete with anyone, I think we can upset some teams.”

The team has a Givealittle page for those wanting to help. At of the time of publication, the team had raised half of the targeted amount.

Emily’s big lift pays off Locally Owned and Operated

Jonty Dine Emily Rutherford first joined the gym to improve her self-esteem.

However, she would consciously avoid the weights area which was dominated by the “big buff dudes”.

Not being the biggest fan of cardio, Emily eventually willed herself to the weights, despite the looks she was given.

“I’m sure people wondered what this 14-year-old girl was doing at the squat rack?.

But Emily wasn’t deterred, she persisted and was recently crowned national youth powerlifting champion at the WPNZ competition in Christchurch.

Emily was first in her class and named the best female youth lifter.

This feat was made even more impressive considering she spent the weeks leading up to the competition not training while on holiday in Bali.

“I had a rough start to the day, which threw me off a bit, but I managed to

come back pretty strong.”

Her ascension from shy gym novice to national champion has been a rapid one.

The 16-year-old only joined the gym two years ago.

Her first taste of competition came at the South Island Championships in May where she placed 17th.

“You never know how you’re going to perform in front of people, but it went really well.”

Emily says she uses a combination of mindfulness and “doof doof dance music” to settle her nerves when on stage.

“I just repeat my cues, get set up and try block out the crowd.”

As she saw her lifting numbers increase, so too did her self-esteem.

“It has helped so much with mental and physical confidence.”

Her personal best lifts are 110kg squat, 130 kg deadlift and a 45kg bench, and she can now even outlift some of those big buff dudes.

“It’s fun when that happens, it really boosts your ego,” she says.

Mako survive Harbour scare at Trafalgar Jonty Dine and Peter Jones

Given its sternest challenge of the season so far, the Tasman Mako survived a defiant North Harbour performance in Nelson on Sunday.

A late comeback was required by the Mako to escape Trafalgar Park with a 21-17 victory.

The Mako set piece was in disarray in the first half as they found themselves behind in all facets including the scoreboard, but a late penalty try ensured the Mako remain unbeaten in 2019.

Sunday’s battling win was more of a timely reminder that, if you are even slightly off your game in the Mitre 10 premiership, you will pay for it.

Immediately following a clinical 80-minute effort against Counties Manukau the previous week, the Mako turned on an error-laden first half.

Harbour were good value for their 17-7 lead at the break, having got their tactics spot on, an effort bearing the hallmark of their coach, former Mako mentor Kieran Keane.

He would not have been so happy with their second 40 minutes though as the Mako, buoyed

by some key substitutions, controlled possession, applied pressure and reversed the flow of penalties from referee Richard Kelly’s whistle.

Pressure produces points and eventually the tries came, albeit the critical one through a penalty try, a seven-point referee’s gift which matched that awarded to Harbour in the first spell. At least he was consistent.

Mako co-head coach Clarke Dermody put a part of his side’s early set piece woes down to “mind-set”.

“Harbour took us on through the front door, at the set piece,” he said.

“If that’s shaky it tends to flow through our game, it was almost catching. In that first half we just couldn’t get going because of that.”

Dermody said there were no major tactical changes made at halftime. “It was more a bit of a mental barb around bringing a bit more intensity in our carry and our collision, around the breakdown.

“In the first half they were sending a lot [of players] in and slowing our ball down. That was good tactics from them, and we

“Once we got that area sorted, we were able to get go-forward and hold the ball … then gaps started to open. Were we quite clinical enough? Probably not, but to get

a win like that says a lot about the team.”

Waikato await in Hamilton on Saturday. How the Mako respond after a below-par performance will be significant.

Kaleb makes history again Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

When Kaleb Johnston was first dragged along to the local bowls club, he resisted.

The 18-year-old initially dismissed the sport as just an ‘old man’s game’.

However, now in a competitive career spanning a little over three years, Kaleb has his name firmly etched in the national record books.

The Stoke Club member has an incredibly impressive resume, setting milestones not seen in the sport for decades.

Kaleb cemented his status as the best junior bowler in the country last month as he defended his U18 singles title in a thrilling final.

The Waimea College student was locked in a gripping battle with 17-year-old Canterbury bowler Nikita Blair.

“I was down the whole game, I had to fight back. She had the upper hand on me the whole game and it all came down to that last end.”

The defending champion held his nerve to claim the victory 9-8 and become the first player to go back-toback in 26 years.

Kaleb is no stranger to making history on the bowls mat - being part of the first, and only, father and son duo to win the same title, after dad Mike won the inaugural tournament in 1978.

At 15, Kaleb became the youngest player in Nelson history to win the Nelson Indoor Bowls centre gold star for five centre titles.

This record was previously held by New Zealand bowler Ali Forsyth for nineteen years.

Kaleb says, while the sport is less strenuous on the body than others he’s played in the past, bowls is a far more stressful experience.

“During the final I was just sweating, stressing out and staring at the mat.”

An avid swimmer and footballer before taking up bowls, Kaleb was training every day when he started to go along with his dad to club open days.

“I hated it at first, but then went to a junior’s tournament and there were rugby players and other sportsmen, which I was not expecting at all. I made heaps of friends and that’s when I started to really enjoy it and take it more seriously.”

Weather no harrier barrier

A field of twenty-six runners braved the cold blustery wind and driving rain to compete in the annual Bayview Harrier Race on Saturday.

Starting at the Milton Street Sprig and Fern, runners went up Bayview Road, across the top ridge and back to Milton Street via the Centre of New Zealand.

Despite the inclement weather conditions, Alan Bryson still managed to complete the course in 42.55 mins, two minutes ahead of Chris Sharland. Klaartjie van Shie continued her winning form from the Dun Run to win the woman’s race in 47.25mins, with Carys Colman in second position.

Though they are often teammates, Kaleb and his father enjoy a friendly rivalry when facing off.

However, Kaleb is still yet to beat his old man in singles

competition.

“We have had some close games but haven’t played each other in about a year, I think he’s getting a bit scared now.”

Local lad in World Cup battle Staff Reporter Though the two countries have never met on a battlefield, the New Zealand and Australian defence forces went to battle with each other last week.

The All Blacks are not the only Kiwi rugby side seeking World Cup glory in Japan with the world’s defence forces also descending on the land of the rising sun.

The match between New Zealand and Australia was played on Sunday in the opening round of the International Defence Rugby World Cup, with New Zealand running riot in the second half to claim a 47-35 victory.

And a local lad was among the New Zealand ranks.

Nelson’s Ethan Bartle is among the Kiwi ranks in Japan and the front rower says he’s honoured

to be wearing the ‘Defence Blacks’ jersey.

The third-generation serviceman says it was a natural path into the defence force after leaving Nelson College.

“Both my parents are ex-Army, and my grandfather is exNavy.”

The Leading Aircraftman joined the RNZAF in 2014 after finishing at Nelson College and taking a year off.

“The military lifestyle appealed, because it was quite similar to boarding school, with everyone doing everything together.

The 24-year-old says it was also a great chance to travel and see parts of the world you wouldn’t see otherwise.

Ethan played for the Nelson College First XV and recalls a high point was beating fierce rival Marlborough Boys’ College in his first televised game.

While at RNZAF Base in Woodbourne he joined the Renwick Rugby Club and played for the RNZAF against Navy and Army.

“I was selected for the Defence Blacks in 2018, then was picked again this year. I was absolutely rapt to get the phone call.”

He is revelling in the opportunity to represent the country in sport, as well as in service.

“It’s the highest level of rugby I have ever been involved with.”

The third edition of the IDWC will see New Zealand, Australia, United Kingdom, Fiji, Tonga, Papua New Guinea, Canada, Georgia, Japan and France fight it out.

New Zealand face a tall task in the semi-finals tomorrow against the defending champion Fijians.
