National is promising to spend more than $200 million build the Southern Link and convert Rocks

Rd into a boulevard for walking and cycling if it wins the next election.

National’s transport spokesperson Chris Bishop and MP for Nelson Nick Smith say that the two projects are the centrepiece for

the party’s transport package for the region, which also features three new passing lanes on the route between Nelson and Blenheim.

“We are serious about delivering better infrastructure for New

Zealanders, particularly Nelson residents who have faced worsening congestion and increased fuel taxes without any significant investment under the current government,” Chris says.

Nick says the Inland Route, also

known as the Southern Link, is the only practical way Nelson’s waterfront can be enhanced and a Rocks Road boulevard redeveloped for walking and

SCOOTERS RULE Enviroschools Nelson have been running their ‘Step into Spring’ challenge this week and are encouraging kids to either bike, walk or scooter to school. Many schools around Nelson have received a surprise visit from the Enviroschools team over the past few days, where they have been handing out hot Milo, prizes and getting kids to blend up a smoothie on their special smoothie maker bike before school.

On Monday morning they visited Enner Glynn School, pictured on their scooters are students Matthew Butler, Henry Currie and Isla Sharp.

FROM PAGE 1 cycling. He says Nelson voters have a distinct transport choice between Labour’s proposal of using clearways or National’s commitment to the Inland Route and a waterfront boulevard.

He says National will immediately proceed with detailed design on the Inland Route in consultation with the affected communities like Victory.

“We want a design that includes cycleways, and which protects and enhances the Victory neighbourhood.”

They also plan to include three new passing lanes between Nelson and Blenheim and do blanket speed reductions to 80 kmh.

Meanwhile, thousands of Nelsonians have had their say on Nelson’s transport issues, with the majority believing that the best

way to solve the problem is by adding priority lanes on Waimea/ Rutherford and SH6 Rocks Rd. Waka Kotahi NZTA have published the results from the Nelson Future Access consultation, which took place in July.

Project manager Rhys Palmer presented them to Nelson City Council’s regional transport committee meeting on Monday.

NZTA reached out to the community to gain insight on three potential long-term packages, which included the priority lanes as well as the widening of the coastal state highway corridor and building a new inland route.

“What we’re seeing in the results is that there is strong support for both the priority lanes and inland route package with very minor support for the coastal corridor widening. With the priority

lanes, there’s a higher percentage than the inland route,” said Rhys.

When asked which package would be the best at solving Nelson’s transport issues, 49 per cent of respondents ranked the priority lanes first, followed by 38 per cent for the inland route, seven percent for the coastal corridor widening and six per cent for short term measures only.

61 per cent also believed the priority lanes would best respond to reducing carbon emissions. The option also came out on top for every other question asked.

“The key community insight that we gained, that we could probably already predict, was there is some fairy largely entrenched views in the community around certain options and that we saw both support for two options and not a third.”

Rhys said the level of community interest and the amount of feedback received across a variety of platforms was “significant”.

“We were very pleased with the amount of engagement we had through all the different mediums.”

They received 1314 online survey responses, 502 paper responses and 40 feedback emails.

The project team are now developing the draft proposal, based on the technical assessments and engagement feedback. This will most likely be a combination of both short-term and long-term interventions.

Presentation of the draft proposal will be at a council meeting on 12 November, ahead of consulting with the public.

The business case completion is scheduled to be brought to council in February 2021 and the NZTA board in March 2021.

Nurses strike to close pay gap Locally Owned and Operated

Sara Hollyman Reporter

sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Staff from doctors’ surgeries across Nelson went on strike last week over a pay gap with health board staff.

Primary Health Care Nurses (PHC), as well as administration and reception staff from GPs around Nelson joined thousands of colleagues across the country in strike action on Thursday.

Gathering at key locations to picket for equal pay in line with District Health Board nurses, frustrated staff say they are being paid 10.6 per cent less.

Wakefield Health Centre practice nurse Katelyn Carmody says it’s frustrating to not feel as valued as hospital nurses.

“We’ve all got the same qualifications and we all work long hours, it’s just not fair that we are paid 10 per cent less.

“We are the first port of call, when you wake up and you’re not feeling right, you call us.”

Katelyn says being based in Wakefield means they see a lot of people who don’t want to go into the hospital.

“We see lacerations and things

We don’t want to send people in who we can help.”

She says their day begins at 8am with triaging patients, trying to get people seen as well as things like bloods, diabetic reviews and IV medications.

“Our days are chocka block from start to finish but for some reason we are not valued the same as hospital staff.”

She says the nurses at her practice have full support from

their employer but says their hands are tied due to caps in place from the DHB. “We really want to stress our GPs are really for this, they are very supportive and it’s not a case of them not wanting us to be paid more but they can’t. The change needs to come from the DHB.” New Zealand Nurses Organisation (NZNO) industrial advisor for the PHC sector Chris Wilson says the situation is simply not good enough considering negotiations have been going on for nearly a year.

“We have been informed there have been discussions occurring in recent weeks about pay parity at a government level, but nothing tangible has yet been forthcoming.

“The Government has known about the urgency of pay parity in PHC for at least a year, and to not pull out all stops to address the serious PHC recruitment and retention issues is beyond belief,” she says.

Katelyn says they received a lot of support during the strike.

“People were all for it, especially once they realised that it’s not just simply up to the GP to pay more.”

Nelson's air quality cleanest in 20 years Sara Hollyman For the first time in 18 years, Nelson’s air quality has not exceeded the National Environment Standards.

The air quality is measured in four air sheds around the city - Nelson South (Air Shed A), Tāhunanui (Air Shed B1), Stoke (Air Shed B2) and Nelson Central / North (Airshed C).

A report presented to Nelson City Council’s Environment Committee on Thursday showed there were no exceedances during the 12 months from July 1, 2019 – 30 June 2020 – the first time since monitoring began in 2001.

Chair of the committee Kate Fulton says it is an “incredible milestone”.

“During lockdown the air quality all around the world vastly improved but to have that happen for a year is very significant,” she says.

“For people who suffer from asthma or have other lung issues this is life changing in terms of their day to day experience as well as their long-term health.”

Cr Matt Lawrey says it was

great news but questioned whether the air quality improvement was due to lockdown.

“I’ve always said the way that we cleaned up our air in Nelson over the last 20 years has sort of been the unchampioned achievement of a generation. With these numbers is that really the team of 50 thousand or is it the benefits of lockdown?

Or is it both?”

Council's manager of consents and compliance, Mandy Bishop, says she and her team had discussed the air quality during lockdown, some of which was warmer weather with no fires needed and other parts which was cooler with some fires.

“We can’t actually say whether this lack of exceedance is to do with lockdown ... normally when we get exceedances they are in June and July so it would be my guess that lockdown hasn’t necessarily affected this.”

She says that, if anything, there have been more people at home and more fires being used during the day, so it’s a “pretty good achievement”.

Charity auction delayed Matt McCrorie A charity auction organised by Nelson College has been postponed due to concerns around alert levels.

The new date for the auction will be Thursday, October 29, rather than the original date of September 24.

Organiser Steve Page says that the delay is based around the uncertainty with crowd numbers that Alert Level 2 provides.

“A lot of people have put a lot of work into this event, so we have to take the alert levels into account,” he says.

Last month the prize pool for the auction reached a record $50,000, with businesses and individuals from around the region donating prizes to raise money to raise awareness for

mental health issues.

Trends Kitchen are the auction’s lead sponsor, donating the design and installation of a kitchen fit-out worth up to $20,000. Other donations including a one-day hunting trip to Glazebrook station, with airlift by Helicopter, and a 6-berth motorhome hire for seven says from Discover New Zealand, along with a $3000 bed from Bedpost.

The auction, organised by Nelson College students and parents, is aiming to raise money to go towards The Key to Life Charitable Trust, which aims to effect a social change to how people view mental health and suicide. Its founder Mike King will be the guest of honour on the night and has said that all funds raised will be used in the local community.

“Everything is on target, we just need permission to get more than 100 people together,” Steve says.

Tickets, which include canapes and drinks, can be bought through the Nelson College office, contact 03-548 3099. Costs are $400 for a table of 10, and single tickets are $45.

If you’d like to offer your support in some way, even if it’s to help out on the night, please give Steve Page a call on 0275 449 448. A full list of auction items will appear in the weeklies.

If you or anyone you know needs to reach out and contact either of these organisations; Lifeline, 0800 543 354, Suicide Crisis Helpline, 0508 828 865 both of are available 24/7. Or, if it’s an emergency and you feel like you or someone else is at risk, call 111.

Local social media training for business owners Owned and operated by Nelson local Sinead Ogilvie, Socially.NZ provides social media coaching, training, management, marketing project management, copywriting and brand strategy to businesses. Sinead currently works with Tasman businesses, national and Australian brands, across a variety of industries including manufacturers, construction, storage, appearance medicine and landscape design.

These businesses have varying needs, from local owners looking for guidance, to big brands looking to make key strategic brand decisions. Sinead says too often small to medium businesses find themselves relying upon an administrator to perform the marketing for their business, without upskilling or training that person to be able to do it well. “I come across quite often an administrator who has been tasked with looking after the company Facebook or Instagram, but given no training or help on how to go about setting up a strategy with measurable outcomes - let alone actually knowing the basics of how to plan, schedule and execute a successful social media calendar.”

She says Socially.NZ offers a practical and hands on approach to social media training, which can suit a business owner or staff member at varying skill levels.

“It’s ok to know absolutely nothing, a little bit

or a lot about social media. Regardless of where you are at I can help you and your business become savvy, turn your posts into engagement and measure your results against the things that are actually important to your business.”

While everyone knows now more than ever it is important to have an online presence, Sinead says it can all seem overwhelming or be a waste of time with no direction or plan. “Like the saying goes, a failure to plan is a plan to fail. Noone wants to spend their time posting aimlessly to social media and hoping it will work. Take the guesswork out and talk to me.” “One of my clients is a large manufacturer, with plenty of corporate messaging but at their different franchises, lacked a community voice on their local pages.

I work with a key contact at one of their community sites that identified that the will and enthusiasm was there - but they were just missing a bit of skill. Now this person is confident and has the tools they need to run the business social media successfully and stress free.” Basic social media training with Sinead comes with a three month strategy, content, KPIS for your social media plan, as well as customised eGuides and one to one coaching sessions on any tricky aspects that you need extra help with.

Supermarket moves with signs of the time Tracy Neal of RNZ and Charles Anderson

A central city supermarket plans to make life easier for those who are hard of hearing by trialling dedicated sign language aisles at its checkouts.

Hearing Nelson, which offers advice and support to the hard of hearing, is driving the trial at New World on Vanguard St. President Connie Charlton says masks and perspex screens used as barriers against Covid-19 cause significant problems for people with hearing problems.

She says many rely on lipreading, but anyone who

struggled to hear people behind masks and screens might also benefit from the trial which would include sign language posters at the checkout.

Connie says the idea sprang from a conversation with friends.

"We were discussing Covid - as you do, and one in particular who's hard-ofhearing said how difficult it was to hear with the perspex barrier in the supermarket.

"Another piped up and said she could hear well and still had difficulty."

Connie says the problems grew with people encouraged to wear masks.

“I’ve been looking at ways get

sign language integrated into society a bit more. Anyone who is deaf or hard of hearing - they feel valued that they are being communicated with.”

She says it is also a good way to mark Sign Language Week later this month. Sign language was made an official New Zealand language in 2006.

She says checkout staff at the supermarket were being trained in basic sign language, and posters displaying sign language would be placed in the aisle.

"People who choose to use that aisle can talk if they wish, but also use sign language to communicate.

"It will be just basic things

like 'hello', and 'have you got your clubcard', 'have you got a shopping bag' - just little things like that, that make it easy to go through the checkout."

Connie says the trial had been approved by the supermarket chain head office, and it had been embraced by the store's owner operator Greg Guy. "I think once people get over the initial shyness of using a different language - once they get into the swing of things, it will work well."

She hoped the Hearing Nelson initiative would be taken up nationally.

The trial will start at the New World supermarket in Nelson on 14 September.

It’s been great to see how well local businesses are responding to our move into Alert Level 2.

A big thanks to the local businesses, large and small, that I’ve seen using the NZ COVID Tracer QR code poster.

I understand that not everybody has a smart phone — a written daily record works just as well. It’s important to keep a record of where you’ve been in case the virus shows up in our community.

As well as displaying the QR code poster, the attention to physical distancing and other hygiene measures introduced by local businesses has been heartening.

It’s now compulsory to wear masks on public transport. This includes our local buses.

Wearing a face covering helps keep you and others safe. They don’t have to be shop bought masks. Home made masks are just as good.

Nelson people are famous for their creativity. I’m sure we’ll have some very colourful creations on our buses and in public places as we adapt to this “new normal”.

Ghost moth named after Walter Locally Owned and Operated

Charles Anderson Editor

charles@nelsonweekly.co.nz

When Walter Grehan turned 80, his son John sent him a watch. When John turned 90, he surprised him with a moth.

“I suppose it is a bit unusual,” says the Ernest Rutherford Retirement Village resident. “But John has always been into insects since he was knee high to a grasshopper.”

In their regular correspondence by mail – Walter in Nelson, John in New York state – John revealed that there was a moth that he was studying that had been collected in the Solomon Islands. He also told Walter that he had been able to name it and thought it might make a good birthday present.

John called the moth “Phassodes walteri”.

“I don’t even know how to pronounce it,” jokes Walter.

But still, he says, it’s a nice gesture.

From his base in New York, John says he studied for his PhD in zoology at Victoria University, which included a seven-year study on New Zealand’s own puriri moth. He moved to the United States in 1988 to do field research in forest ecology and then worked at a museum at Penn State and then a museum

He isn’t sure why he is so fascinated with the species.

“Hard to say really. It must be genetic. Always been a bit of a night owl.”

John says he wanted to name the moth after his father to thank

him.

“For the sacrifices made by him and my mother in supporting my early, single-minded interest in insects. Even though my interest in insects as a hobby and then career path was a bit foreign to their experience, they always encouraged and supported my endeavours.”

John says Walter had a “practical and consistent approach” to

various projects during his life.

“This provided me with a sense of focused determination and disciplined imagination that I have applied to my research work.”

Walter says he is happy to still correspond with John through the mail and happier now that a photo of the moth in question in his possession.

That image will now go on the wall of his apartment where he

keeps all his things that are dear to him. There are the photos of his old “cobbers” from the days he was a French polisher in Melbourne, there’s an image of the ship his ancestors came over on from Bristol in 1845. There are black and white photos of his German ancestors and photos of his wife and his children.

Now he can add the Phassodes walteri to his wall.

Nelson set to celebrate RWC countdown

Forget 2011, the party starts this weekend and thousands will be there to kick it off kiwi-style.

This Saturday Nelson is attempting break a Guinness World Record by hosting the world’s largest haka at Tahunanui Beach. The haka is to celebrate one year until the world comes to Nelson for the Rugby World Cup. Three thousand people are needed to perform the famous Ka mate haka, often performed by the All Blacks, and they are encouraged to wear whatever feels right.

“If you are Scottish, wear you whanau tartan, if you are part of a sporting group, wear your uniforms,

this is a celebration of the great melting pot in Aotearoa,’’ says orgainser Mike Elkington.

Around 100 people, men and women, turned up to a haka practice at Neale Park last Sunday and Mike says he has taught the haka to hundreds of other people from around the region over the past couple of months.

The mass haka is being held this Saturday, 11 September with organisers asking people to arrive by 1pm for the world record attempt at 3pm. Everyone is invited to attend and be a part of history, rain, hail or shine.

Park pops up for spring

Conservation projects get $5m funding boost

A new place to play in the city centre will be popping up on Halifax St by the end of the month.

With its own 65m loop pump track, solar-lit basketball halfcourt, table tennis table and imagination playground with 106 foam blocks, the park is set to draw more youngsters into the city centre.

“We found that very few kids are in town doing things, so we wanted to think about what we could do for the under-fives, older children and the young at heart,” says Nelson City Council's city centre development programme lead, Alan Gray.

“Recordings of people in the city centre last winter and summer showed that less than two percent of registered activities were children at play.”

The park is a collaboration between Council and Wakatū Incorporation, which owns the space. Council spent $225k on the relocatable equipment and a further $113k for site preparation

It will also feature some more informal social areas with picnic tables and youth hammocks for people to use near the river edge.

A new doorway leading into the children’s area of the Elma Turner Library will also be constructed in the next couple of months.

“You’ll be able to walk through and check out basketballs with your library card, as well as table

tennis paddles and balls,” says Alan.

Shade structures will be put in, as well as trees in planter boxes and umbrellas for picnic tables.

“We’ll monitor it over the summer. If more shade needs to be brought in, we can look at some options.”

Nelson mayor Rachel Reese says they’ve had “lots of interest” in the project.

“We’re really appreciative of Wakatū Incorporation for partnering with us. We’ve got the arrangement for at least two years and then we’ll be starting to look at

what the other development options are for this area.”

She says the site is “perfect” for a play space.

“This is really responding to that desire for more active spaces for young children.

The way this has been designed in three zones gives opportunities for all ages.”

Alan says contractors are hoping that most of the installation will be finished by the end of this week.

“The bulk of it’s in, but the timing of it opening is probably contingent on a few things, but it’ll be within the next couple of weeks.”

Locally Owned and Operated

More than $630,000 will be pumped into the Top of the South to help conservation projects from weed control to pest management.

Ten groups across the Top of the South will receive funding from the Department of Conservation for various on-the-ground projects aimed at conserving New Zealand’s indigenous biodiversity.

Five groups will receive grants of more than $85,000 including the Tasman Environmental Trust for its Battle for the Banded Rail Habitat Restoration project and the Takaka Hill Biodiversity Group Trust (THBGT) for its National Park Halo Predator Control Project.

THBGT Co-Founder and Project Manager Charmaine Petereit says the group of private landowners on the Takaka Hill has developed a 30-year-strategy that works alongside other projects in the bordering national parks.

“We are situated quite crucially between two national parks and we realised we could very easily end up as a reservoir of pest species if we’re not doing the same sorts of management.”

Charmaine says the first funding they received was from the 2019 DOC Community Fund which allowed them to undertake comprehensive surveys of the pest plant species that are on the hill.

From there they have developed a strategy for both the removal and documenting of the pests.

The group of around 25 landowners collectively manage more than 4000 hectares of privately owned land.

“We do as much as we can ourselves, but this funding has allowed us to bring in specialists and develop a strategy to remove these pest species,” says Charmaine.

Get your outdoor area ready for summer

months

INTEREST FREE

Spring is the ideal time to get building or renovation projects underway in time for our upcoming summer. An Archgola outdoor shelter will allow you to enjoy outdoor living all day, and all night.

“With summer and the Christmas season fast approaching, people start to think about their outdoor entertainment area, especially if family are coming and they need some extra space,” says Marie Hatton who co-owns Archgola Nelson with Russell Lawson. “Now is the time to add on to your indoor-outdoor living and create a new space for family to be able to enjoy.”

Established in 1998, Archgola has become the leading supplier of custommade outdoor shelters and blinds which are top-quality, durable and stylish. It was the first company to develop shade solutions which are specifically suited to New Zealand conditions. Archgola provides yearround shelter from the elements, come rain, hail or shine.

“Some of our roofing products take off quite a lot of heat, so it’s really nice to sit underneath the shelter for a good length of time without having to go inside because it’s too hot,” Marie says.

Archgola shelters are 99.9% UV resistant, making them the perfect

solution for sunny Nelson.

If you would like to improve on your outdoor area ready for summer, give Russell and Marie a call and they can visit you to discuss the available options and get an idea of what you are looking for.

They will work with you to create the right solution uniquely for your home and customise everything to your tastes and budget. They can work around corners, work with large or small areas and know how to make the most of the space you have.

“You get to choose your frame colours, roof shapes and roofing tints to achieve the shade and shelter you want.

Our point of difference is that we can do all kinds of different shapes and sizes.” Archgola Nelson are licensed installers who will also take care of council and engineering requirements right through to the installation.

Marie says their clients are always very happy with their Archgola shelters and blinds. “You can hop online and see examples of the finished products on our Facebook page.” To make an appointment with Russell and Marie, simply call 0508 272 446 or 027 759 9522.

Election: Dear Sir, Have you seen the latest scary election pin-up of Judith and Gerry? Every time I see this picture of National’s dinosaur duo it reminds me of something I read somewhere. Apparently back in March 2014, Judith, who was then, I think, Minister of Justice, was accused of a conflict of interest after an overseas trip where she 'dropped in' and endorsed the milk produced by Oravida – a New Zealand company which exports to China – of which her husband is a director.

After being told off by the then Prime Minister John Key, Judith Collins apologised and stated that she and a Chinese executive were 'very close personal friends'.

Over the following weeks, despite many questions, Judith Collins did not provide his name, which House of Representatives Speaker David Carter described as "very unsatisfactory".

Prime Minister John Key stated publicly that Judith Collins was on her final warning over this incident. Also, didn’t good old Gerry consider himself too important to go through an airport metal detector when he was a Minister of the Crown?

Andrew Rose

Nelson library includes ‘smart’ changes: This “community feedback” does of course realise that “smart” is a word with

multiple meanings in addition to “intelligent”, including “tidy”, “clean”, “stylish” and “fashionable”, which is why “a smart little library for a smart little city” makes for such a good slogan. It's aspirational, optimistic and appeals to the best in us.

Those complaining community members were not, to be accurate, “made” to “feel uncomfortable” about a word; they allowed themselves to “feel uncomfortable” about a word.

These are individuals who should perhaps be spending their time more wisely in said library, feeding their minds and learning useful life skills and tools like critical thinking, stoicism, resilience and anti-fragility. Pixie Leyted

I disagree that we are a ‘smart’ little city in the first place. Just look at the projects that our councillors see as economically viable which rate payers end up having to bail out year after year. It’s just a PR phrase that reflects our councillors more than our city. Helen Black I honestly wonder about some people living in this town. Now it has wound up with some over wordy vision statement. Everyone feels welcome in the library. No one has to take an IQ test at the door.

Nelson Matters Nelson has a key choice this election on transport. The Labour candidate backs Clearways along Tahunanui Drive/Rocks Road/Wakefield Quay and Waimea Rd. I back getting on and building the Nelson Inland Route and redeveloping Rocks Rd as a boulevard for walking, cycling and recreation.

Nelson has a much clearer choice than in Election 2017. National in Government committed then to building and funding the Inland route, then called the Southern Link. Labour opposed it but did not offer an alternative.

They have now nailed their flag to Clearways. These are additional lanes that can be used for parking during non-peak times

but cleared during peak traffic.

Labour’s plan to add clearways would be awful for Nelson’s stunning waterfront. We have one of the most beautiful city coastlines in the world from Tahunanui Beach to the City enhanced by Fifeshire Rock, Haulashore Island and the historic wall and chained bollards. We had a taste of how good the waterfront could be without heavy traffic for cycling, running and walking during the Autumn Covid lockdown. The four lane clearway means losing this forever.

The Clearways would also ruin waterfront facilities and businesses like the Boathouse, Nahm, The Boatshed, Harbour Light Bistro and Styx Café. They

are also awful for the 483 homes and 158 businesses on Tahunanui Drive, Waimea Road and Wakefield Quay. Many would have frontage taken off them as well as the loss of parking. This compares to 66 affected homes and 48 businesses on the Nelson Inland Route. Clearways also impact on more schools.

Clearways have been shown not to work. We had a clearway in front of the Tahunanui shops but it had to be removed. Driver confusion and cars left parked made it too dangerous. We also need to learn from the experience on SH1 North of Wellington. Labour opposed Transmission Gully in 2002 and instead built clearways through Plim-

ommend options that aren't slathered in cheese - I see there's one vegan dahl but there are so many other delicious and easily made options too. Dairy upsets a lot of tummies (ironically, for hospital food) so would be awesome to have more than one dairy free option.

Alli Jackson

Best just to have a variety of meat, vegetarian and vegan options available. No need for any one option to be imposed on others.

Dennis Goodman

This way they get to try something they probably wouldn't do otherwise. We should all think about eating less meat and consider vegetarian or vegan meals.

Doug Barry-Martin

Frankly, it would be even better if meat was only on Monday, considering people who end up in the hospital aren't in the best health anyway.

merton. It did not work with many accidents and a huge cost each year in moving vehicles left parked at the wrong times.

Wellington has now got on and built the $1 billion inland route of Transmission Gully to be opened next year.

The Nelson Inland Route is a far better solution than clearways.

It enables the coastal route to be redeveloped as a boulevard for walking, cycling and recreation.

It will cost $80 million less than clearways. It’s more resilient to climate change. It will be transformational for the Tahunanui community. It impacts on far fewer properties. It will require careful design through the Victory area to ensure we retain

a cycleway and enhance this strong community.

National gets roads built. We have previously done the Richmond Deviation, QEII Drive, the Stoke Bypass, the Hope Saddle and when last in Government, the Ruby Bay Bypass. We must keep up these investments to match our growing population.

National’s announcement on Monday committing $210 million for the Rocks Road Boulevard and Nelson Inland Route gives Nelson a positive choice to save our beautiful waterfront and solve the major transport problems into our city.

Students pivot to making masks for good

Railway Reserve to link up

Jonty Dine

Staff Reporter

A group of Nelson students are set for a busy few weeks at the sewing machines in order to meet the high demand for their masks.

Noting a lack of reusable and affordable masks on the market, the Nelson College for Girls enterprise students quickly pivoted from their hair wear business in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Francesca Parlane, Catherine Courtney, Abigail Grubham, and Hayley McKenzie are now manufacturing masks from pre-loved fabrics.

Catherine says the goal was to help meet a universal need.

“We want to make it sustainable and help the community. Profit is not our number one goal, it’s nice but we want to be able to give back.”

The environmentally-conscious quartet say their initial ambition was to help reduce the global issue of fast fashion.

Beginning by creating repurposed hair accessories, the global pandemic brought about a change in business.

Abigail says she was shocked to see prices of masks ranging from $25-$40.

“We think that’s really important as teenagers to sell them at an affordable price where students can pay for it without having to save up.”

Nelsonians will soon be able to cycle and walk safely all the way from the Railway Reserve Shared Path to the Maitai Riverside Precinct once work to fill a missing gap in our cycling/ pedestrian network is completed.

Starting on 14 September and lasting until mid-December, the ANZAC Park to Maitai Cycle link will connect the Great Taste Trail to the Maitai Shared Pathway by creating an off road connection along Paru Paru Road and Rutherford Street to ANZAC Park, to link to the St Vincent Street end of the Railway Reserve Shared Path.

The first week will involve works at Haven Road/Vanguard Street/Rutherford Street to accommodate a bus detour.

The main construction work starts on 21 September and is expected to last for 12 weeks, weather dependent. Part of this work includes changes to the Halifax Street/Rutherford Street/Paru Paru Road intersection, including modifying traffic signals. To do this work in the safest and most efficient way, there will be a temporary closure of Halifax St between the Haven Rd roundabout and Rutherford Street from 21 September for the duration of the works.

As well as the bus detour, there will be a separate sign-posted detour in place for cars.

Group Manager Alec Louverdis thanked people for their patience while this work was carried out.

Selling their masks at just $3.99 for one $5.99 for two, their product proved popular.

“Within 48-hours we sold out about 40 masks, we couldn’t keep up,” Francesca says.

The girls have received order requests from as far as Kerikeri and Dunedin.

“Everyone needs a mask and, with incomes decreasing, no one wants to spend $30.”

While juggling a number of other commitments both in and outside the classroom, the girls say it can be hard to

find time to all get together for sewing sessions.

“We will do a mass production in the holidays.”

They say it takes about 5-10 minutes to cut and sew a mask.

“We have a good system.”

The girls say they are also still on the hunt for pre-loved fabrics and anyone willing to donate can contact them at nzknotted@gmail.com You can also visit their Instagram page here https://www.instagram.com/ knottednz/

New way to view artwork Kate Russell Reporter

Artist Ewan McDougall dons a VR headset to view his work in a new way at Quiet Dog Gallery.

A virtual party is taking place at Quiet Dog Gallery.

It’s a wild party where colourful and bright stick-figure paintings come to life - and all local art lovers are invited.

Renowned Dunedin artist Ewan McDougall’s touring exhibition ‘UNREAL!’ is taking place at the Wakatu Square gallery until 3 October.

Viewers will be able to view the oil paintings through a VR headset at Alert Level 1, an element that was added in collaboration with multimedia artist Claire Hughes.

They are enhanced even further by music from sound artist, Isaac Lundy.

“I’ve done collaborations before, but never quite like this,” says Ewan.

Known for his spontaneous and exuberant style, he started painting

at school when he was 11 but didn’t pick up the paintbrush again until he was 40.

“I studied law and politics, but when I went back to painting, it turned my life around.”

Gallery owner Gill Starling says it’s an art exhibition with a difference.

“His characters leap and dance. It feels like they almost walk right through you. It’s lovely when an artist like Ewan shows in smaller cities such a Nelson.”

She says, while Covid-19 has “thrown a spanner in the works” and people cannot wear the VR headset just yet, they have videos playing in the gallery to show people what it looks like.

“While the country waits to drop down a level, people can still enjoy Ewan’s spirited paintings. The whole gallery is full of energy, colour and fun.”

‘UNREAL!’ runs until 3 October at Quiet Dog Gallery, 33 Wakatu Lane, Nelson.

Nelson Arts Festival adapts to times

Staff Reporter

Nelson Arts Festival ticketed shows scheduled before Labour Weekend have been cancelled following the Government’s announcement that it will extend Alert Level 2 until at least September 16.

When the Nelson Arts Festival Ngā Toi Huatau collaborative programme was launched on September 1, the Nelson Festivals Trust advised the festival would go ahead contingent on the Government announcing a return to alert Level 1 before September 6.

Trust chair Brent Thawley says the trust met on Monday and determined it was not “financially or logistically feasible” to run ticketed events in venues under Level 2.

“Without knowing until September 14 whether or when we will return to Level 1, we will not have sufficient lead time to deliver events in the first three weeks of October.”

However, elements of the festival are still currently going ahead in an effoert to bring colour and vibrancy to public spaces across the region. These include Night Vision, Cycle-In Flix, Lockdown Laundry Street Installation, Singing on the Streets, InsideOut Theatre

The festival team says the Pukapuka Talks opens on Friday October 23 with award-winning Iranian Kurdish journalist and author Behrouz Boochani alongside fellow Iranian refugee Golriz Ghahraman, in conversation with investigative journalist Anke Richter.

This special event is being presented in association with Multicultural Nelson Tasman and the New Zealand Society of Authors (NZSA), which is the local arm of PEN International, the organisation that fights for the human rights of writers around the world.

Another six sessions, including internationally renowned local authors Miriam Lancewood and Christine Leunens, take place at the Suter on Saturday October 24 and Sunday October 25.

Superstar of the food writing world, Annabel Langbein, appears in conversation with Nelson food writer Nicola Galloway on Monday October 26 at a special event at Peanut Butter World.

Two other collaborations – with

Nelson Live Poets on Tuesday October 20, featuring Wellington-based poet Rachael McAlpine, and Eamonn Marra’s comedy writing masterclass at NMIT and comedy show at The Workshop on Thursday October 22 – will also proceed.

Brent says all ticketed events scheduled from the Labour Weekend through to the end of October, which includes the Nelson Arts Festival’s literary programme, Pukapuka Talks, along with The Human Voice and Avantdale Bowling Club, will also go ahead as the trust still has sufficient lead time to deliver them if a decision to return to Level 1 is announced in mid-September.

“However, this decision will be reconsidered if New Zealand does not return to Level 1 before the beginning of October.”

Brent says the Nelson Festivals Trust will reconvene on Sept 30 to make a decision about whether or not to proceed with events taking place in the second half of October.

“These are very uncertain times and we are doing our best to respond from day to day,” Brent says says.

He says if the region does not return to Level 1 by October 1, all other ticketed shows will be cancelled and tickets refunded.

Following its inaugural Premiership title in 2019, the Tasman Mako are looking to go back-toback this season.

With the Mitre 10 Cup set to kick off on Friday night, the Mako will start as firm favourites to defend its title.

The newly-established provincial powerhouses have made some shrewd signings while maintaining the core of its championship side.

A powerful 32-man squad was named last week with a familiar look to it, despite missing some key performers from 2019.

It will again be captained by David Havili, with Andrew Goodman and Clarke Dermody returning as co-head coaches, assisted by Shane Christie and Gray Cornelius.

A feature of the class of 2020 is the return of three former long-

Welsh club Scarlets, while hooker Quentin MacDonald (78 caps) is back from Oyonnax in France.

They will be joined by former Wanderers club player and Samoan halfback Dwayne Polataivao.

The team fields 20 Super Rugby players, plus seven new recruits to the Mako ranks.

High profile wing signings Sevu Reece (Crusaders) and Mark Telea (Blues) are joined by prop Isi Tu'ungafasi (Crusaders), brother of All Black Ofa, former schoolboy loose forward star Anton Segner, young Canterbury lock Mahonri Ngakuru and former Hawke’s Bay flanker Hugh Renton.

Twenty five members of the squad have played club rugby in the region, with 10 of those graduating from the region’s schools' system.

Unfortunate to miss the squad are six contracted players who have suffered season-ending injuries - Ethan Blackadder (Crusaders), Atu Moli (Chiefs), Pari Pari Parkinson (Highlanders), Ray Nuia (Blues), James Marshall (Hurricanes) and Jack Grooby (Stoke).

Players missing from the 2019 title-winning combination are hooker Hugh Roach, former All Black props Wyatt Crockett and Tim Perry, Blair Prinsep, loosies Liam Squire and Jordan Taufua, plus midfielder Levi Aumua.

Four club players will train with the squad as potential injury replacements - flanker Braden Stewart (Central), lock Max Hicks (Marist) prop Kershawl Sykes-Martin (Nelson) and half back Louie Chapman (Kahurangi).

two in Blenheim.

A pre-season clash against Canterbury last week gave a chance for fringe Mako to stake their claim for selection.

With plenty of new faces in the mix, the Mako displayed its enviable depth as the side put up a stern challenge against the Ranfurly Shield holders. A late try would give the Mako a shot at a draw, but the conversion attempt proved unsuccessful.

Despite the 19-17 result, Tasman will take plenty of positives out of the Hanmer Springs loss.

Mako co-head coach Goodman says the game was a really “good hit-out for the boys”.

“Just to play at that next level of intensity before we head up to Counties [for the Mitre 10 Cup opener on Saturday, September 12] was really important.”

Goodman says some of the defensive work, especially from set piece, was outstanding.

“Overall, they played well in patches, but also showed they have plenty to work on, which was always going to be the case."

Andrew Goodman says some of the players who took the chance to show their abilities were Alex Nankivell, Fetuli Pae, and No.8 Hugh Renton, in his first game for Tasman.

Next up for the Mako is Counties Manukau in Pukekohe at 7.05pm on Saturday.

Nelson bounce back with big win

Wanderers claim division two title

Jonty Dine

Jonty Dine

Following three losses and a draw, Nelson College picked up a much-needed victory in the UC Championship on Saturday at home.

Nelson were far too strong for bottom placed Lincoln Combined, taking maximum points. However, the defending champions still sit in eighth spot on the table.

Again without inspirational skipper Daniel Dixon, Nelson ran in eight tries showing some scintillating attacking flair in the 48-5 rout, however ill-discipline continues to let the side down.

With Lincoln lacking sufficient numbers in the front row, the game was played with golden oldies scrums throughout.

The hosts came out of the gates strongly, striking first with a customary try to Fijian flanker Netani Baleisomosomo.

Nelson went in for a second shortly after on the back of a beautiful jinking run from skipper Charlie Perkins, who linked with winger Adam Schwass as the hosts raced out to a 10-0 lead after ten minutes.

The carnage continued as Perkins made a storming run into the 22 after taking the kickoff, Tuterangi Stone-Williams finishing off the movement.

After a disastrous start to the season, Wanderers have ended its 2020 campaign by winning the second division title in a dramatic final against Marist.

Suffering two consecutive defeats to start the year, Wanderers went on to win eight games on the trot culminating in a 17-13 win on Saturday in front of a boisterous Brightwater crowd.

Skipper Gareth Palmer says it was a fairy tale finish to a year filled with adversity.

"To start the season the way we did and end it like that is bloody good, and a great group of lads to do it with."

Gareth says it was an intense affair worthy of a final.

"Marist probably deserved it with the amount of ball they had in that second half, but for us to harden up on the frontline for our club was good stuff."

He says the side were set for some serious celebrations.

"There will be a few beers for the boys, we will go hard."

Both sides missed penalty shots inside the opening ten minutes with plenty of enterprising rugby being played.

It didn’t take long before

After a blistering start, Lincoln enjoyed an extended period on attack, while Nelson found themselves on the wrong end of a high penalty count, hooker Dylan Irvine eventually sent to the sin bin.

The visitors finally cashed in on its wealth of possession, their fullback slicing through to put his side on the board just before halftime.

Replacement Ethan Burt kept the points flowing for Nelson with a bonus point try right after the break.

Continuing the second in the same fashion as the first, Luc WatermanThomas made it two quick tries and

80

a 29-7 lead.

Nic Sauria then went in for a welldeserved try, the fullback cutting the Lincoln defence to shreds as he had done all game.

Captain Perkins also capped off his strong performance with back to back tries as Nelson began to run riot late in the piece.

some drama unfolded with Wanderers number eight Steve Soper sent to the sin bin for a late hit on Sione Inisi.

Marist quickly took advantage and opened the scoring through a clinical set piece move with first five Seta Sauri waltzing through the defence.

Wanderers replied quickly as Scott Reed went in on the back of a powerful rolling maul.

Marist struck straight back courtesy of a storming surge from number eight Teanikumi Piukala.

The tit-for-tat continued, Soper making up for his early indiscretion with try from a smartly taken quick tap. Then Palmer's deadly radar from the sideline gave his team a 14-10 lead.

Ironically, it was Soper on the receiving end of an illegal shot that sent Piukula to the bin for ten to close out a furious first forty minutes.

Paul O’Regan closed the gap to one to kick off the second half before Palmer responded in kind as the scoring opportunities dried up and defences tightened.

Both sides were guilty of simple errors with the pressure mounting.

The woman behind the Giants Locally Owned and Operated

Over the next few months, sports reporter Jonty Dine is putting the spotlight on our off-field superstars.

These people work tirelessly to make sport in our region happen - without trophies or medals to recognise their efforts.

In the 39 years Judy Totoro has been a scorer for the Nelson Giants, she has missed just a single game.

Only her son’s wedding could keep her from watching her beloved Giants from the scorer’s bench at the Trafalgar Centre.

The team’s number one fan, she has done everything for players from babysitting their children to providing baking, and even a roof over their heads.

However, her involvement in Nelson Basketball extends well beyond just the Giants.

Judy has helped establish the Nelson junior basketball council, as well as several leagues including the mini-ball league and Senior B’s which Judy recently retired from playing in after 32 years.

She, along with Pat Wadsworth, were instrumental in getting basketball into schools and creating the mixed summer league.

Not only would she help with the

administration and organization, Judy also brought her toaster and tins of spaghetti every week to feed the players.

Judy is also the first to put her hand up to welcome new Giants’ players to the region.

“Every time imports came, I’d find out when they were coming and go and welcome them, and drop off some baking, sometimes cook a roast for them.”

She will also open her home to players in need of a bed.

Those who have lived at Judy’s include Josh Bloxham, American Josh Pace and New Zealand superstar Mika Vukona.

After the season, she will be right there at the airport to farewell them, often with tears flowing from both Judy and the departing player.

“It can be really sad because you don’t know if you’re going to see them again. They are like family.”

Judy says she still keeps in contact with most of the players through Christmas cards.

Her love affair with basketball began when her family moved to the region from Waiuru in 1975.

Among the many highlights in her scoring career are when the Harlem Globetrotters came to Nelson and when the city hosted Russia vs New Zealand.

“There was a little Russian umpire who didn’t speak English and I had no idea what I was scoring, that was one of the more stressful jobs, it was an international game.”

At 72, she is also the oldest Nelson club netball player.

“I do notice I’m getting a bit slower.”

She says she will continue to stay involved in the game as long as she can.

“I just love basketball, so I’ve felt very privileged.”

After injury limited him during Super Rugby Aotearoa, Quinten Strange was content with the idea his goal of becoming an All Black would be on hold for another year.

While he was able to play five games of the competition, he averaged just 26 minutes for the title-winning Crusaders. So, when he sat down to watch the All Blacks' first squad of the year being announced, he didn't expect his name to be called.

"I was in shock; I didn't really know what to say," Strange told the Herald.

"I haven't had the year I planned to have, with quite a few setbacks. So, to be honest with you, I didn't expect it to happen this year through injury and lack of game time.

"In saying that, I'm stoked. Absolutely over the moon and excited to be involved with the group and at the opportunity."

SportS Harriers: There was a buzz of activity at the Motueka Beach Reserve on Saturday as 24 teams registered for the Motueka to Mapua relay. While being comprised of four legs of varying length and difficulty, athletes could complete the 26km course individually or in teams of up to four people. The Athletics Nelson Junior Men’s three person team of Matt Bowen, Danyon Oakes and Josh Fitzgerald were the first team home, setting a course record of 1.39.25hrs and Matt, who ran the first two legs for his team, recorded the fastest time on both legs.

Following the announcement, the 24-year-old lock received a call from All Blacks coach Ian Foster confirming his selection, congratulating him and telling him to enjoy the day.

It was one of several calls and message Strange fielded in the hours after the announcement.

"As soon as the squad came out it just went bananas for a while there," he said.

The news of the call up won’t be a surprise for many Nelsonians who have been following his progress.

A stand out for Nelson College, he earned a call up to the New Zealand under 20s and the Tasman wider training squad in 2015. From there the Collingwood product has won the Mitre 10 Cup with Tasman and several Super Rugby championships with the Crusaders.

He will be joined in the All Blacks by fellow Tasman Mako players Will Jordan, Shannon Frizell, Tyrel Lomax and Sevu Reece.
