Nelson’s transport plans revealed Kate Russell

The options to lay the Southern Link debate to rest have been revealed with a range of packages due to go out for public consultation this week.

These packages are part of the NZTA-led Nelson Future Access project and will be presented to a Nelson City Council meeting tomorrow, according to project manager Rhys Palmer.

The packages aim to solve the

long-running Southern Link conundrum, which could see a new highway going inland, between Rocks Rd and Waimea Rd. The packages consist of short term optimisation activities -

which include: core cycling and pedestrian network, minor bus network improvements, local area traffic calming measures, intersection upgrades, speed management, revising parking and public transport fares and

marketing and promoting different ways to travel to work and school.

The long-term packages include priority lanes - adding lanes to

A “human dynamo” with a difficult past has been acknowledged as one of SPCA’s top volunteers.

Nelson man David Orr was named national winner of the Going the Extra Mile Award in the 2020 SPCA Purina Volunteer Awards, which marks the beginning of National Volunteer Week.

Nelson SPCA Op Shop manager Aine Byrne, who nominated David, says he is an exceptional worker who spreads good cheer and creates a lovely atmosphere. He was chosen from thousands of nominees around the country.

“He sets an example of the power of positive thinking for the rest of us,” says Aine.

“David has overcome an extremely difficult past and

battles daily with the crippling pain of arthritis. He never lets it get him down and just keeps on going.

“The challenges he faces would defeat even the best of us, but he just keeps on keeping on.”

David stops at the Vanguard St shop every day, even if he is not rostered on, just to check in and see if the team need a hand. Despite having to go home for stints to let his body rest, he comes back to help with the closing of the shop and any heavy lifting.

“I enjoy it, it’s just my way of contributing for the animals.

SPCA have helped me with my dog, and when I was desperate for food they always help,” says David.

He says his own dog Hope has been a lifeline for him, so it

“I used to love the Modellers Pond but now it is dirty and gross.”

“It’s so disgusting, not even the ducks will go in there.

It definitely needs to be cleaned. I like the idea of a park.”

Nelson’s transport plans revealed FROM PAGE 1 SH6/Rocks Rd and Waimea Rd/Rutherford St (peak period clearways) for priority traffic, a coastal route - widening of the SH6 Coastal State Highway Corridor (providing two lanes in each direction) for general traffic and building a new inland route.

NZTA says the packages represent key themes and are purposefully different to understand the trade-offs and challenges.

“The community engagement narrative is based on the principal that we will optimise the existing transport network first in the short-term, but before we do that, we need to understand the long-term solution.”

Feedback from the community on these potential

packages is scheduled to start following the meeting and run until 27 July - a delay from the previously planned April engagement period.

A brochure on the packages will be available at libraries and the council, and Rhys says drop-in sessions will be held in Victory and the Saturday market.

The feedback will be supplied to the Project Reference Group (PRG) to consider and score, and the business case completion is then scheduled to be brought to council in February 2021 and the NZTA board the following month.

Rhys said the PRG, a group of representatives from community, business and transport interests, met last week to give feedback on the engagement material that will go out to the public.

“We got some good feedback from them around some of the questions that we had proposed to ask.”

Nelson has been considering an additional road link between the city and Annesbrook since the 1960s to accommodate traffic growth.

In 2004, the Southern Link proposal was rejected by the Environment Court and since then there have been numerous investigations into a new roading infrastructure.

NZTA see the Nelson Future Access Project as the next step.

The project is being led in collaboration with the council. Based on the needs of all users, it is mindful of the history of attempts over three decades to improve access through the city.

makes sense to give back to the animals in any way he can.

“Once I got the arthritis I was just sitting at home, I didn’t want to go back to alcohol so she’s taught me how to walk with her, taught me responsibility, patience and discipline, and she gets me out.”

David says he doesn’t believe half of the good things the team says about him, saying simply “if it needs doing, just do it”.

“I was blown away when I found out, I don’t know how or why or what I’ve done to deserve it, but it’s fantastic, a real surprise.”

But Aine insists that David deserves the recognition for his hard work.

“He is a human dynamo and never stops moving. His positive attitude and kindness of spirit radiate through all of his interactions with others and we are truly inspired by him.”

David’s prize included a year’s supply of dog food, a $300 grocery hamper and a coffee machine.

Fighting to keep Nikau House open Locally Owned and Operated

Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

A mental health facility in Nelson may be closing after 30 years of serving the community.

Nikau House is set to shut its doors as part of a restructuring of mental health resources.

Daniel Timms, a regular user of Nikau House, fears its closure could see him end up in the psychiatric ward again.

“I will feel lost and have nowhere to go.”

The proposal suggests transitioning clients to other existing non-government organisations, community centres and marae.

Daniel has suffered with mental health issues all his life and says Nikau House has been a lifeline and haven for him.

He says staff there have provided him with crucial education around diet, exercise, budgeting, sleep and legal advice as well as offering support for those having problems with addiction and mental health.

“It is a one-stop support shop.”

Nikau House also offers Daniel a sense of purpose as he works in the kitchen helping clean dishes.

He says without it, his mental

“I will isolate myself and it will hinder me making friendships with people who accept me for me.”

However, he will not let it go without a fight.

Daniel has written to local MPs as well as celebrities and government officials.

“I am not going to give up.”

Nelson MP Nick Smith says he strongly supports the return of Nikau House.

“It is essential for the support of hundreds of Nelsonians needing community-based support.”

A petition has been created online to help save Nikau House and has already gained more than 2800 signatures.

Nelson Labour candidate Rachel Boyack also strongly opposes the proposal.

“As soon as I heard this news, I wrote to the DHB expressing my concern.”

Rachel says, before coming up with a view, she spoke to people who use the service, their families, other NGO providers and the union which represents the workers.

“This proposal is not supported by people who use the services at Nikau House or their families, and should be stopped.

“It's not the right time for vulnerable clients to be engaged in a change proposal given everything we've been through during the Covid-19 lockdown.”

Nelson Marlborough Health is encouraging service users to be part of the decision.

People wishing to advocate for Nikau House can contact Nelson Marlborough Health until June 26.

Council defends dog fees Kate Russell

WOW vows to stay in Nelson Charles Anderson The World of WearableArt says that it has no plans to leave Nelson after it had to slash two thirds of its workforce and shutter its museum due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The organisation, which is based at what was World of WearableArt and Classic Car Museum, was recently forced to cut its work force from 30 to 10 to ensure the ongoing viability of the organisation.

“We realise the effect this has on the community here in Nelson,” says new CEO David Tingey, who came to Nelson after running one of Peter Jackson’s film production businesses.

“It’s gut-wrenching.”

David started the job

in lockdown and then immediately set about implementing a restructure for WOW, which was started in the 1980s in Nelson by Dame Suzie Moncrieff. Since then it has become a global phenomenon with thousands coming to its annual show in Wellington.

The museum opened in 2001 and became a place where garments through its history were stored and displayed.

David says while the show, which has been cancelled this year, is based in Wellington there are no plans to shift the administrative hub of the organisation. Dame Suzie lives in Nelson, he says, but did not want to speak about WOW’s future until it was clearer.

“For us it’s trying to work out

what our business looks like.

We do care about the local community and there are no plans to move anywhere else.”

Meanwhile, a working group for the Classic Cars Museum is vowing to move into the space vacated by WOW and give the facility a much-needed renovation.

“Quite quickly after that decision was announced we started talking about what we could do,” says Mike Wilson, who runs Cartel - a classic car renovation business out the back of the building, which is owned by the Talley’s family, along with the vast majority of the museum’s cars.

“The number of cars has been growing over the years. It’s gotten tighter and tighter so

there are a few new cars waiting in the wings. We thought ‘why not open up again if we could’.”

The new entity will reopen the café, which will be run by former WOW staffers, as well as inviting members of the community to show off their cars.

“We want the museum to be more part of the community. It feels more grass roots the way we are doing it.”

But until then, there is work to be done as the building has not been closed for 20 years.

“It’s a bit worn out,” Mike says.

He hopes the new museum will be open for the September school holidays.

“People are excited, and a little bit upset that we aren’t open already.”

Nelson City Council has received feedback from around 80 members of the public following the confirmation of this year’s dog registration fees and the removal of the Good Dog Owner policy.

A council spokesman says that while they appreciate the decision to remove the Good Dog Owner policy may be disappointing for some people, it was not a decision they “took lightly”.

“The high administration cost of the policy, combined with the fact that it duplicates some of the requirements that owners are already legally required to adhere to under the Dog Control Act, meant that it was untenable to continue to offer a discount.”

They say that all income received through registrations and fines are spent on dogrelated activities only.

“These activities include dog control (including investigating dog attacks), impounding wandering dogs, running the animal shelter, providing dog poo bags and providing education programmes for both children and adults.”

They also say the new fee structure means that the cost of dog control services is now spread more equally among all dog owners.

“Council considers it fairer that all owners are treated as good dog owners and the owners whose dogs cause nuisance, pay fines and impounding fees on top of their registration.”

To assist with payment, council has extended the timeframe for people to pay their registration fees without penalty by a month to 31 August this year.

‘Sugar daddy’ relationship sours Sara Hollyman A 71-year-old man’s relationship with his 22-yearold ‘sugar baby’ turned sour after she returned from getting a breast augmentation which he paid for and refused to give him more attention, a court has heard.

Then, after the relationship became strained, the man sent the woman intimate photographs he had made of her, which she thought he had deleted.

The man appeared in the Nelson District Court on Monday where he pleaded

guilty to a charge of making an intimate visual recording.

The police summary of facts told how the man and the woman entered into an informal contract in 2019, which agreed she would provide company and sexual services and he would provide money, travel and gifts.

On two occasions he placed a cellphone on the bedside table which he used to record the woman.

One of these recordings was of the pair having sex, another was of the woman with nothing covering the top half of her body.

When she became suspicious of the cellphone and asked to see it, he allowed her to look at the photo gallery, which is when she saw the naked recordings of herself. He then deleted them.

In December 2019 he paid for the woman to travel abroad to get a breast augmentation but on her return the relationship became strained as he expected more attention and she did not reciprocate.

He then made requests for her to fulfil her contract or pay him back for the breast augmentation and included some more photos of her

partially naked, which is when she made a complaint to police.

In explanation he said he was unaware that it was an offence to make recordings someone without consent and that he had searched on his computer and believed he had seen that it was not an offence to do so.

Judge David Ruth accepted the man’s guilty plea but did not enter a conviction as it was understood a section 106 application would be made under the Sentencing Act 2002 for a discharge without conviction.

Both sides of the abortion debate gathered outside the Nelson Hospital on Saturday afternoon to condemn and support the medical procedure.

Things became heated at times but generally were respectful of one another.

Exhibition to boost post-Covid art collecting, Wednesday, 3 June: Nelsonians have been eager to support Kiwi artists, with the 'The Return' exhibition at Quiet Dog Gallery proving popular. “It's been our most successful exhibition of 2020 which gives us lots of encouragement,” says gallery owner Gill Starling. The exhibition featured original artworks priced at $500 or less to encourage new collectors and Gill says visitors to the gallery have loved the opportunity to treat themselves to a new artwork and support New Zealand artists at the same time.

Making Civic House a work of art, Wednesday, 27 May: Bevan Woodward’s idea to cover Civic House in artwork is being backed by Nelson City Council, who have told him they want to progress the idea.

“We’re so pleased that council is supporting our proposal to look at what we can do with Civic House’s appearance. Council’s involvement will help ensure a robust and transparent process. We’re excited about the opportunity to partner with iwi, engage with the community and have some great dialogue to come up with a terrific result for Nelson.”

Stoke School turns 175, Wednesday, 18 March: Stoke School’s 175th celebrations have been downscaled due to Covid-19. Organiser Lucy Jackson says they will still be celebrating on 25 September with the digging up of the time capsule from 25 years ago, the planting of a commemorative tree, and sharing memories with past students, staff, and parents. “A big focus is to make sure that history is preserved and not lost, so if anyone has any stories and photos they would like to share, please get in touch.” You can email Lucy at stokeschool175th@gmail.com.

Pondering Modellers Pond’s future As debate continues to trudge on about the future of Tahunanui’s Modellers Pond, Kate Russell offers her insight into what the issues are and what needs to be solved.

Stagnated, drawn out, neverending. These are all words that run through my mind when I think of the Modellers Pond.

Weeds and algae have firmly taken the place of sail boats in the iconic Tahunanui pond for more than two decades now - ever since the chemical weed killer copper sulphate was banned.

This makes it unusable for extended periods, and it requires regular manual cleaning at considerable cost.

It may be my most covered topic in my five years as a reporter at the Nelson Weekly.

I even took a photo of daughter holding a stick covered in weeds in 2016 to highlight the problem (which I’m sure she’ll look back on with fondness).

There is always going to be disagreement over its future there is even disagreement over its name. Modellers Pond, Tahunanui Pond, Tahunanui stormwater detention pond. Who knows?

The solutions to fix persistent

Photo: Kate Russell. algae problem have chopped and changed, with the associated price tag growing as fast as the weeds that plague it.

After the $220,000 Diatomix treatment trial failed to work last year, the Nelson City Council agreed to investigate the option of a full upgrade, which involved installing a concrete base - or any alternative option that iwi considered appropriate.

It was a solution that was originally put forward in 2017 but was cast-aside due to its $1.7 million price tag.

That’s why my ears pricked up last Thursday when Nelson City councillors voted 9-2 to scrap that plan in favour of filling it in and creating a park.

The report that was presented to council said that upon consultation with Tiakina, Ngati Toa, Ngati Tama and Te Ātiawa, only Ngati Toa supported the full upgrade.

Included in the new plan are picnic areas, benches, water

fountains and barbeques as well as a native wetland fringe along the foreshore. The trains will stay and there could be opportunity to add a small pond in the future.

It was also described by property, parks and facilities asset manager, Andrew Petheram, as “environmentally preferable”.

This proposal will now progress to preliminary design, and a report will come back to the committee on its completion.

I get that the pond holds great memories for many Nelsonians, and many are holding out for it to be restored back to how it was in

its glory days.

I’m no pond expert, but hasn’t council has spent too much time weighing up their options, trying to please everyone? In the process of doing this, they’ve created an expensive burden that they just can’t seem to shake.

About a year ago, while taking yet another photo of the pond I met an elderly lady who told me she likes to walk her dog around the pond but is constantly slipping over on the overflow of scum.

Her words: “Council just needs to focus and get on with it”.

I couldn’t agree with her more.

Load control saves you money The Tahuna Beach Holiday Park is looking for ways expand its revenue and tiny homes might be the thing. Photo: RNZ.

Tahuna holiday park to tiny home showroom Tracy Neal of RNZ The group governing the 22-hectare Tahuna Beach Holiday Park has floated plans to convert part of it into a showroom for tiny homes.

The park is seeking ways to market itself to a wider audience in the wake of the tourism downtown due to Covid-19.

The 94-year-old motor camp beside Tahunanui Beach is often touted as the largest in the Southern Hemisphere, with room for up to 3000 people at a time.

It is also home to a list of permanent residents in caravans and camperhomes, and it is a temporary home for some of the seasonal fruit pickers who arrived each year.

The chair of the camp's association, Dennis Christian, said it was an old, traditional motorcamp.

"It's been an amazing facility for so many years and will have generated fond memories for a lot of people, but unfortunately, like most motorcamps, it has challenges from a business perspective in that there are only certain months of the year you get full occupancy."

He said a number of ideas

emerged from a recent review of its long-term strategy. One that stood out was its suitability as a site for the nation's small home builders to showcase their designs and construction.

Dennis says the motorcamp could become a showhome village for tiny homes in the tourism shoulder seasons.

He was among members of the association to present an update to a meeting this week of the Nelson City Council, which owns the site on which the camp is built.

The association said a workshop in March resulted in a decision to develop a comprehensive marketing strategy and an asset management plan to revive and develop facilities.

It also intended to investigate further low-cost housing options.

The camp had generated $3 million in revenue for the year to the end of May 2020, which was similar to the previous year despite the hit taken from Covid-19.

Income for February and March this year was higher than at the same time last year, but dropped sharply in April before climbing again in May.

Mortgages Made Easy Let me help you obtain the best home loan for you

MARK LANGDON

Dennis says the effects of the Covid-19 lockdown had brought uncertainty to future revenue streams, which had led to the review of the motorcamp's operations.

He said they were working to find new ways to attract people to the site from within the region and from outside.

"There's certainly huge interest internationally and nationally in small homes, and the idea floated was to have a 'show home village' where small home builders could have an area of land there to show off their design and constructions.

"Who knows where it could lead, but it has potential to be commercialised, but with 54 acres only fully utilised for a few weeks each year, we're looking far and wide for ideas on how to better utilise that land for community good also."

Dennis says the culture of the camp, which has 127 permanent residents on 98 sites, lent itself to what was proposed.

"We're currently working out how feasible it is to extend the number of permanent residents.

It's a fantastic community in an idyllic spot so close to the beach and the attractions of Tahuna."

Load control is a mechanism that Network Tasman and many other lines companies use to manage the demand that heating water places on the electricity network during ‘peak’ demand periods, typically in the morning and early evening on the coldest winter days.

Load control allows Network Tasman to shut off devices such as electrical hot water cylinders for a short time during the periods of highest demand. As a result Network Tasman can keep costs down and pass those savings on to our consumers. Cheaper prices for water heating are shown on your electricity bill as a line called ‘controlled’ or ‘economy’.

Controlling the load in this way doesn’t impact on the way you use your hot water e.g. to wash your dishes, do laundry or have showers and baths. Our aim is to ensure that you don’t even notice that load control is being used.

RC LAN

11:08.15 connected

LC

Your advanced meter will display “LC” if hot water heating is switched off by our load control system. “LC1” will be displayed if hot water heating is enabled.

Visit www.networktasman.co.nz to see if load control is in place.

Load control helps save consumers money because it reduces the transmission charges that Network Tasman pays to Transpower. Network Tasman also doesn’t have to invest so much money upgrading the capacity of its local network to cope with ever-increasing peaks during network busy hours.

“As an example,” says Network Tasman’s Regulatory and Commercial Manager, Daniel Vincent, “in the coming years we will need to build a new grid exit point in Brightwater. If we didn’t have load control, we would have needed to make this $28 million investment years earlier and customers would already be paying for that investment in their power bill.

“Deferring investment keeps our network at a level that’s in line with what the community actually needs and, in turn, keeps electricity prices down. It also means we can take advantage of developing technology and innovation as alternatives to traditional network supply become available.

“Management of peak load through hot water load control

by Network Tasman saves the company and its customers millions of dollars every year.”

Nelson College NEW ZEALAND Te Kura Tamatane o Whakatu

Two new medicinal cannabis facilities that are being planned for the Nelson and Tasman could create as many as 200 new jobs, its proponent claims.

Nelson-based company Medical Kiwi is building the first facility in the South Island to cultivate cannabis for medicinal use.

The Government legalised medicinal cannabis in December 2018, and passed regulations that enabled the scheme in December 2019. The Medicinal Cannabis scheme came into effect on April 1 2020, meaning New Zealanders can legally access cannabis-based products through a prescription from a doctor.

The company, chaired by former Nelson mayor Aldo Miccio, announced last year that it had been granted a cultivation licence by the Ministry of Health, and that a site had been found for a cultivation facility in Brightwater.

Plans to break the ground on the research and cultivation facility in Brightwater for mid2020 have been pushed back though, due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

However, Aldo says the company has been ‘extremely productive’ throughout lockdown and has been able to ‘pivot’ effectively.

“Covid has caused a few issues in terms of planning, as well as a bit of a delay with investors,” Aldo says.

Aldo says the time in isolation was used well by the company.

“It’s enabled us to get more done.”

While the Brightwater facility announced last year will still be built, construction is more likely to begin in early 2021 rather than mid-2020.

However, the company instead plans to create a smaller, additional cultivation facility in Nelson, which could be operational by December. Plans for the location are still being finalised.

“We are looking at retrofitting an existing building to satisfy orders with clients that have already been made.”

The Brightwater facility will still be going ahead, meaning that Medical Kiwi will be operating two facilities in the Nelson and Tasman region. Aldo says that Medical Kiwi hopes to break

ground on the facility by March 2021.

He says the retrofit facility will create around 60 jobs this year, with this number jumping up to around 200 once the Brightwater facility is fully operational.

Aldo says that there will be a ‘huge market’ for medicinal cannabis in New Zealand.

“As the New Zealand industry becomes more sophisticated in developing products and as GPs become more comfortable giving out prescriptions, the industry will grow.”

It will be a slow burn, but Aldo says that the industry will grow.

“There are so many benefits for patients, even just in terms of physical pain relief. Patients ultimately will drive demand.”

And while this year’s recreational cannabis-use referendum won’t directly impact medical cultivators like Medical Kiwi, Aldo says that if New Zealander’s vote ‘Yes’ on the referendum it will create more education around cannabis.

“It would help speed up the education process for the general public, for sure.”

Angels come to Mercy’s rescue Sara Hollyman Reporter

sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz

When Mercy Sollano was asked to cover the cleaning of a client’s house for a friend, she never dreamed it would be the beginning of a successful business.

But after rave reviews from her clients she made the decision to make a go of it. She took up a free business course and applied to the bank for a $1500 loan to purchase supplies.

However, the bank declined the loan application – twice.

She had almost given up on the idea when another friend told her about the Nelson Angel Women’s Loan Fund (NAWLF) – a community organisation which provides interest-free loans to women who may not have access to other credit.

NAWLF trustee Pam Williams says the loan fund is all about empowering women, whether it be through starting their own business, upskilling, or getting back into the workforce.

“Not everyone can get a loan

Nelson Angel Women’s Loan Fund ‘s Pam Williams (left) is pleased her contribution to Mercy Sollano’s business has been fruitful. Photo: Sara Hollyman. from the bank, we provide small loans to give those women a hand up,” says Pam. Now, two years on from her first Angel loan, Sollano Cleaning Services employs four people and Mercy says she couldn’t have done it without the extra help.

“They are really nice people and so supportive, I couldn’t have done it without them.”

Pam encourages any women who may need a helping hand to get in touch as they have money available to loan. Find out more at https://www. nelsonwomensloanfund.co.nz/

Council awarded more than $1m for infrastructure projects Locally Owned and Operated

Staff Reporter

More than $1 million has been awarded to Nelson City Council to progress infrastructure projects across the city.

Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) awarded the council $1.23million from the Provincial Growth Fund.

Projects that will proceed from the funding include traffic-calming measures on Beach Rd, widening of the Maitai Riverside Path between Collingwood and Bridge Sts and three projects for the Regional Business Units, including planting and tracks in the Eves Valley landfill and resurfacing of the internal road

at York Valley.

Beach Rd works will involve narrowing the road width, raising the height of the pavement and introducing more vegetation to the intersection, aimed at slowing traffic down along a section of the street that approaches a crossing for the shared pathway.

A council statement says they had received feedback that vehicles sometimes travel through this intersection at high speeds, so the work will ensure that users of the new shared path are kept as safe as possible.

Community feedback also discussed the 1.5-metre-wide Maitai Riverside Path being too narrow between

Your Voice City centre streets: The council is wanting streetwise views on city centre streets for people. It is absolutely ludicrous. As a person who has supported Nelson city shops and businesses for most of my life and occasionally shops at Richmond, this would change, as when I, and most other adults, drive into town we prefer to park in Trafalgar St for short stops and use the car parks if the visit is longer. Nelson has a shortage of car parks as it is. The retailers there would suffer considerably.

There are plenty of coffee shops and seating for folk to sit and chat in any weather. The street shut down was tried in Blenheim and failed miserably. Please leave Trafalgar St as it is.

Margaret Moffat Recycling: Surely David Stephenson has got it all wrong? It should not be the responsibility of the end user of products to ensure that the containers in which those products are supplied are able to be recycled. What Mr Stephenson is suggesting is at complete variance with the precedent that has already been established with plastic shopping bags. In that case, there was a ban on supplying the offending containers to the consumer. The consumer is already saddled with a number of onerous decisions when choosing products to buy. For instance, is it priced right or nutritionally ben-

Council’s good owner policy gone to the dogs: Just disgusting. I’ve lost my good dog owners discount, so it's now $275 for three well behaved dogs in a fully fenced property. I've called to council to complain but got told if l didn't pay then they will take my dogs off me. Catherine Kent

Red Cross volunteers enjoyed some food and conversation to celebrate Refugee Day at the Baptist Church on Bridge St on Saturday. Nelson has 250 trained and experienced volunteers with 91 involved in support teams in the past 12 months. Red Cross coordinator Kay Miller says its purpose was to provide kai and conversation time as this was the first gathering since lockdown. “It was primarily to acknowledge the vital role our volunteers have in settling former refugee families who come to live in Nelson. Red Cross wouldn’t achieve our goals without the incredible dedication and empathy of these people.” Photo: Jonty Dine. eficial? Should the grocery shopper, many elderly and with failing eyesight, spend minutes in the supermarket aisle with each potential purchase, not only deciphering whether they contain sugar and/or added salt, but now whether the container is able to be recycled? In my experience, the details on many products are in microscopic fonts and in inconsiderate letter colours against likewise inconsiderate background colours. With my eyes, deciphering the instructions on a packet of scone mix can take forever. Unless the containers that Mr Stephenson deplores are banned, then he and his ilk

should be working hard to see how they can recycle them.

They're what really matter.

I haven't got a clue as to what I’m supposed to put in the bin now. We live rural and haven't had a thing from council about this. Doesn't surprise me at all, so I will be putting everything in my bin until they can be bothered to tell us otherwise.

from the current 20 to between 8 and 12.

The problem for Nelson/ Marlborough is that our DHB has a population of 150,000, but the new model requires between 420,000 and 620,000 people.

The most likely outcome is our health services being run from Wellington or Christchurch. Ian Powell, an expert voice for hospital specialists says “Hospital services outside the main cities will be reduced” and that these proposals “will be a stuff up.”

Nelson has had control of its own health services for over a century since the first hospital board was established in 1885.

It will be harder for our frontline

doctors, our nurses and other health professionals to be heard by management from afar. It will be less connected with our GPs, pharmacies, community health organisations and councils. It will make my job as MP in advocating for constituents and services more difficult.

A key issue in healthcare is in ensuring the funds go into front line public services and not administration. These proposals add two new national agencies and two “Regional entities”. This can only lead to increases in the health bureaucracy.

Our Nelson Marlborough District Health Board has consistently outperformed the larger

Spotlight on CBD post-Covid: There is a large area of wasted space all around the Trafalgar Centre which is boggy land most of the year. I don't understand why the council doesn't make this whole area into car parks, long-term parking at a reasonable cost and some shortterm parking. It is only a short walk to the town centre from there. Glenis Shaw

Nelson Matters I worry about the future of healthcare in Nelson under radical reforms announced by the Government last week. The risk of centralisation for Nelson is a loss of health services and key decisions being made elsewhere.

Four big changes are proposed.

A new national agency, Health NZ, would be created for managing clinical services alongside the existing Ministry of Health.

A special and separate Maori Health Authority would be established. All District Health Board (DHB) members would be appointed by the Minister of Health, rather than 7 out of 11 being elected. The number of Health Boards is to be reduced

Plea for pole vault support: I totally agree that there should be pole vaulting in Nelson. The track has a pit, all that is needed is the upright mat and poles etc. I tried to raise funds when l arrived in Nelson. I found the one and only pole in Nelson and jumped into the sandpit. A lot of kids at the track were very interested in learning. I hope the community and council support the introduction of a fun sport in Nelson. Vicki Charles

metropolitan DHBs. It did a good job through the Covid emergency. A key to success has been attracting top specialists. I am also proud of our history of innovation in areas like cardiac care that has saved dozens of Nelsonian’s lives. Our DHB has also been a leader in integrating primary and secondary health care.

These health changes are similar to those to polytechnics that has seen Nelson lose control of NMIT - now the Nelson branch of NZIST. This change has already seen the loss of top talent from Nelson like CEO Liam Sloane. NMIT employs 300 and our NMDHB over 2,000. They

are Nelson’s biggest employers.

I fear centralisation will result in fewer jobs for Nelsonians.

I also share the scepticism of expert health commentators who see the parallel to those changes with what occurred in the UK, known as the Lansley reforms.

They failed, particularly in the regions, and are now being reversed. I am not opposed to all of the changes. I agree with having a consistent Digital Plan across our healthcare system.

But Nelson has everything to lose and nothing to gain from losing our DHB. I will fight with every bone in my body for Nelson to retain our DHB. Advert.

Perhaps that’s why, today, Jim Beam stands as the World’s #1 Bourbon.

Helping cyclists stay visible on Nelson roads Nelson’s cyclists will be getting an illuminated helping hand this winter.

Cyclists on high volume routes are being reminded that bike lights are a legal necessity during Winter’s shorter day light hours and the best way of keeping safe and being seen on our roads.

Those stopped by Police without lights will be offered a free set of bike lights.

The first stops occur this week and further bike light stops will be set up over the Winter, depending on the success of this week’s drive.

During the hours of darkness, or in poor visibility, cyclists are legally required to have a white front light and a red rear light - police encourage riders to use lights whenever riding, even during the day, as well as hi-vis vests.

Council says it is working hard to encourage a more sustainable transport culture but recognises that its sometimes harder for cyclists to stay safe while riding in winter months.

Bike light giveaways are to support those who might otherwise cease riding over the shorter days of winter.

Sergeant Darren Bryce of the

Tasman Impairment Prevention Team says the stops are about “working together, and with the public, to improve road user safety”.

Enforcement options open to the police start for riding without lights start with a verbal warning and the option to provide a remedy such as free bike lights. But persistent

offenders are liable for a fine of $55 per offence.

“Police are concerned about the increased risk cyclists place themselves in by not having a good set of visible lights and not wearing safety helmets; this increases their chance of being knocked off and then sustaining a serious injury from the fall,” says Sergeant Bryce.

Children’s book raises money for animals Locally Owned and Operated

Matt McCrorie A children’s book that was written to describe how animals were cared for during the Pigeon Valley fires has raised $5000 for local charity groups.

‘But who’s looking after the animals’, written by local author Renee Lang and illustrated by Polly Rabbits, was inspired by the animal lovers and animal welfare agencies who created a safe haven for pets and farm animals when fires blazed across Pigeon Valley and forced thousands to evacuate their homes.

Renee says that she had the idea to write a children’s book after she worked to raise money for food for animals that were being cared for in the Richmond Showgrounds.

“It was published in September last year, the whole thing from concept to publication only took us about four months,” she says.

King Salmon gifts staff $46,000 in vouchers

A timely boost for the hard-hit hospitality industry is on its way with New Zealand King Salmon employees ready to spend thousands of dollars’ worth of restaurant vouchers.

The company is giving 474 team members $100 vouchers in recognition of their work during the Covid-19 lockdown which they can choose to spend at local restaurants or supermarkets.

“In wanting to reward our hard-working team members we also wanted to support our loyal customers who have been affected by the Covid-19 lockdown,” says CEO Grant Rosewarne.

Nearly $5000 was raised from books sales since September last year, with half being donated to the Nelson Ark and half going to HUHA - a charitable trust dedicated helping animals. The trust was heavily involved in the effort to temporarily rehome animals

during the fires.

Nelson Ark administrator Karen Howieson says that the Nelson Ark is ‘incredibly grateful’ for the donation.

“It was incredibly exciting, and we really appreciate the work that Polly and Renee have done,” she says.

“We really appreciate the support. It’s so important that

children can learn that all beings are important, and to acknowledge the work that everybody did in keeping the animals safe in a very difficult time.”

Why work for nothing?

That is exactly what thousands of New Zealanders do every day of the week by giving up their free time to be volunteers.

Volunteers contribute 159 million volunteer hours per year, the value of this labour is estimated at $4 billion. Gordon Oldfield, manager of Volunteer Nelson, says that volunteers can be found in just about every sector, including health and social services, emergency services, environmental services, conservation and community sports. We would not recognize our community without volunteers. New Zealand often punches above its weight in many areas.

Covid-19 response has highlighted courage and kindness in uniting together.

Now more than ever, Gordon says, “as a volunteering community we commit to manaakitanga and whakawhanaungatanga". National Volunteer Week 2020 is an opportunity for everyone to recognise all volunteers: whether volunteering for an essential service, virtual volunteering, people thinking about volunteering or those who normally volunteer but have stayed home to save lives. every volunteer is valued and contributes to strengthening communities The range of volunteering opportunities in the Nelson Tasman region is enormous and the core business of Volunteer Nelson is to refer people who have registered with the agency to organizations that need volunteers.

most suits them. If you would prefer to talk face-to-face with someone about volunteering then Ellie Young, volunteering and community coordinator, is the person in the Volunteer Nelson team to speak to.

She says, "Here at Volunteer Nelson, we are passionate about linking people to a broad range of volunteer roles and organisations where both gain incredible benefits. It's a win-win! After the Covid-19 lockdown, many people want to volunteer and support their community. Volunteering is a great way to build your connection and belonging to a community while making a valuable contribution”.

She added that quite a few of those who come to the Volunteer Nelson office, which is located at 83A Buxton Square, are new comers to the area who feel that they would like to participate in the community. Gordon says that volunteering was an effective way for newcomers to settle successfully in the region.

It is for this reason that Volunteer Nelson

runs a Migrant Volunteering programme as well as organizing the Nelson Newcomers Network.

The benefits of being a volunteer are well documented. There’s better health and the ’feel good’ endorphins that volunteering releases; and other health benefits such as extending longevity and reducing depression in many people. If the last few weeks have been difficult, then volunteering in the community may just be the thing to help you feel better and feel connected.

Volunteer Nelson run a number of programmes to help people into volunteering. The youth programme trains youth workers and allows them to lead other young people in a community project. Young people are also taught about governance so that they can lead or participate in leading an organization. In ad-

dition, there are programmes designed to encourage older adults and those living with a disability into working in the community. As poet and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson observed, “It is one of the beautiful compensations of life that no man can sincerely help another without helping himself.”

Join us this week for National Volunteer Week to celebrate how our communities are stronger when working together. Volunteers help shape the world we want to live in, now and into the future.

It’s been nearly 40 years since Fred Brunell left Nelson, but the memories of his hometown are still vivid.

The now Auckland-based art and design teacher has drawn from his early memories to create a series of 20 paintings which are now on display at Atelier Studio and Gallery.

“I’m at that age and stage of life where you think back about what formed you and why you are the sort of person you are today - and it’s so much to do with your early roots,” says Fred, who spent five years painting the collection.

“One memory leads to another and before you know it, you’ve started to paint you reminisces.”

His work ranges from Tahunanui Beach and The Grampians, to the iconic Church Steps, the provincial buildings, the old post office, the lighthouse and Trathen’s - where Fred worked when it was a department store.

The original Auckland Point School and Rocks Rd with its chained fence are also part of the collection.

The old post office, Auckland Point School and the Trathen’s building have inspired Fred Brunell’s exhibition, ‘Memories: A Nelson Childhood’. Photo: Kate Russell.

“I just loved it during the storms, it’s like it goes into a dance.”

The memory of playing as a boy on the old slips of Nelson with the old boats being pulled in also inspired Fred.

“You could climb up a ladder and play around inside the boats and nobody really seemed to care or notice.”

The old gas works, however, sparked not so great recollections, with a young Fred worried it was always going to blow up.

“It was a fearful thing to pass and stunk to high heaven.”

Then there are personalities such as the magician Edgar

Benyon, who brought his show to Nelson during the 1960s, and the travelling evangelist, Brother Coady.

Rounding the exhibition off is a tribute to the 2019 Pigeon Valley fires.

Fred says his style ranges from expressionist to “a lot more structured”.

“One of my students once asked my ‘why are your buildings always a little wobbly?’ and I said, ‘it’s because they’ve got spirit they’ve got life’.”

Memories: A Nelson Childhood is on until 18 July at Atelier Studio and Gallery, 1/329 Trafalgar Square.

NCMA getting back to concerts Staff Reporter Lockdown put the brakes on the Nelson Centre for Musical Arts performing schedule, but it is now getting back into the business of putting on shows.

On Friday, its first post-lockdown celebration concert, ‘Emerge’, will feature a cross-section of local musicians.

“This will be a joyous occasion of music, song and dance, from Broadway singers to opera, pianists, string and brass players, classical and modern guitarists and more,” organisers say.

“Performers of all ages will collaborate to deliver an inspiring and uplifting musical experience.

Our talented performers are donating their time to NCMA as we 'Emerge' for the second time in two years."

Next month violinist, Jonathan Tanner will perform. He spent much of his childhood at the NCMA. Whether for rehearsals, competitions,

concerts, busking on Trafalgar Street or performing the Bach Double Concerto with the Nelson Symphony Orchestra at the age of 12, he used to make the drive from Motueka many times every week.

He has since gone on to study in Christchurch, Wellington and Switzerland and has played in the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, The World Youth Orchestra in Italy and is a current member of the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra.

He is also in high demand as a teacher and continues to perform throughout New Zealand.

Jonathan will perform at the NCMA at 7 pm on July 14 with fellow Christchurch musician, Anna Maksymova on piano. The pair first met at Burnside High School 14 years ago and having now returned to Christchurch after their studies abroad, they have joined forces and been performing together for the last two years.

Cleve gears up for big return Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

After suffering a horrific injury in the 2019 sub-union final, Marist halfback Cleve Barrell has returned to rugby.

Cleve broke his leg and dislocated his ankle playing against Waimea Old Boys in the final game of last season.

What followed was three months off work and almost six months of no running.

However, the 23-year-old has

recovered and is rearing to go as he is set to resume playing on Saturday.

“It was a bit of a tough time, but I managed to find some positives.”

The 2019 competition’s top tryscorer says, though it was a bit frustrating to be immobile for

so long and then have the season postponed after just one round, it’s good to be back.

During lockdown he was able to work hard on both his fitness and passing, which he feels is sharper than ever.

“The main thing is consistency with my passes and trying to play for 80 minutes instead of 60.”

Cleve says he wants to start this season the way he ended last season, as he led the try scoring charts with 12.

“That was just a bit of a cherry. I love

scoring tries, I just try to be there when someone makes a break.”

His form would no doubt have had him in the frame for a possible Mako selection prior to his injury.

“At back of my mind if it happens it happens, I just want to play quality rugby.”

He is confident his side can emulate its success of last season.

“We have got a good squad with a lot of young players coming in and others back from injury.”

Sport is in full swing in the region with a number of competitions now underway after the disruption of Covid-19.

A new look Nelson College side made an emphatic statement to kick off its UC Championship defence running in 13 tries in a 75-3 demolition of Mid Canterbury Combined on Saturday.

Fijian Netani Baleisomosomo was colossal for Nelson, bagging a double and setting up half a dozen tries for his teammates, while skipper Daniel Dixon was inspirational at lock and firstfive Cooper Grant ran the ship superbly.

Fielding an almost entirely new backline from 2018, the young side showed it has plenty of quality out wide with fullback Luke Kilworth and winger Jayden Waharoa carving up the Mid Canterbury defence on multiple occasions.

Daniel says it was satisfying not to let the foot off the throat as a ruthless Nelson side scored 52 second half points.

"For a lot of the boys it was their first game, so we battled away in that first 15 minutes and to pull away and put the hammer

down was pretty awesome."

On a muddy Nelson College track the hosts put on an offloading clinic and scored some spectacular tries.

"It's something we work on a lot, we are not the biggest team but we like to keep the ball alive and play at pace, so it was good to put a few together."

Nelson lost wing Timi Sauria to a serious-looking looking shoulder injury early on making way for Adam Schwass to score two tries while the rest of the Nelson College bench enjoyed plenty of action.

"Everyone that came on did their role and did it pretty well," Daniel says.

Perhaps most impressive though was keeping Mid Canterbury try-less.

"Very happy with our defence, to not let them in was really good from the boys."

Meanwhile, a frustrated Nelson Suburbs side suffered a disappointing 1-0 loss to Ferrymead at Saxton Field on Saturday afternoon.

It was Nelson's second loss to Ferrymead at home this season and its third in the 2020 MPL. The hosts were unable to crack Ferrymead's defence with its best opportunity coming when a Jordan Yong free kick hit the posts.

Ferrymead took the lead in the

The Clifton Terrace School Board of Trustees invites applications from parents who wish to enrol their sons and daughters for 2020/21 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 26 June.

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 15 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 2012 – 2016). The exact number of places will depend on the number of applications received from students who live within the school’s home zone. Please note that other age groups will be considered as well.

If the number of out-of-zone applications exceeds the number of places available, students will be selected by ballot. If a ballot is required it will be held on Fri 3 July 2020.

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