Big 80kmh slowdown on SH6 Sara Hollyman Reporter

sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz

The speed limit between Nelson and Blenheim will be reduced

across the board next month in a move by Waka Kotahi NZTA to make the stretch of road safer.

The decision to lower almost all speed limits along the highway comes almost a year after

consultation closed on the proposal.

NZTA says it will add 9 minutes to the trip between the two cities.

More than 1100 submissions were made from those both in support and against the changes

which will see all 100kmh zones between Trafalgar St, Nelson and Rai Valley lowered to 80kmh from December 18.

The current 80kmh through Atawhai will lower to 60kmh.

Nick Marer, on behalf of 45 Ducati Owners Club Nelson members, submitted against most of the proposed reductions.

Homecoming for young lawyers Erin Bradnock Nelson’s newest lawyers are staying in their hometown to practise law.

Lucy Ingham, Whitney Orange and Phoebe Venz were admitted to the bar on Monday and say they are happy to be back and employed in sunny Nelson as Covid-19 has impacted graduate role opportunities.

Whitney has been employed at local firm Hamish Fletcher, after finishing her studies at Canterbury University.

Pheobe and Lucy have been hired at local firm Rout Milner Fitchett.

Partner of the firm Craig Morice says it’s great to have the young talent staying in Nelson.

“It’s hugely important to give young people an option rather than having them leave town,” says Craig.

He admits the provinces struggle to hold onto quality young people

as there are generally less roles on offer.

Craig says it’s especially crucial to support new lawyers in Nelson as work prospects for new graduates are slim.

“Under Covid there’s a bit of a hold up. There are less roles with young lawyers not being able to travel, so there have been less roles to fill,” he says.

The women agree that it’s been a strange year completing their Professional Legal Studies qualification in lockdown.

“Practising advocacy behind a screen was a bit weird,” says 24-year-old Lucy.

“It’s great to be home again," she says.

Whitney is able to live at home with her family and Lucy and Phoebe will be flatting with their siblings.

“I’m super happy to be back. It’s been a good year with a great firm,” says Pheobe.

He says the changes are more like “putting an ambulance at the bottom of the cliff ” rather than starting at the top with better driver training.

“I get where NZTA are coming from and people may think I’m saying it’s ok for people to die.

Well, no-one's saying that, but I believe there’s a better way.”

Nick firmly believes there should be ongoing training on offer for drivers as there is for motorcyclists.

“People need to understand the consequences of their actions. So many people are unaware of time, space, motion and distance. They pass in places that are unsafe and that puts those that are slightly more vulnerable road users at a higher risk.”

He believes NZTA are swapping out one issue for another.

One person was seriously injured on SH6 between Bayview and Tui Glen Rds last week. Photo: Jonty Dine.

“They are saying speed is a major issue, but now driver frustration will be an issue.”

Truck driver Justin Bradford says he shares the concerns that the reductions will force more “stupid overtaking” from frustrated drivers.

“Cars are now going to be going the same speed as what we are allowed to do in the trucks, so I think they will be taking any little gap they can to get past.”

He says there needs to be more

passing bays along the stretch of road - particularly on the Nelson side of the Whangamoa.

“Most of the passing bays on this side have been re-labelled ‘stopping bays’ so we won’t use them because if there’s a line of traffic we have to stop and getting going again is quite difficult. We would be pulling out doing 1015kmh trying to build up speed which is even more dangerous.”

Cawthron Institute chief executive Charles Eason is all for the speed lowering around an intersection he says they have been working with NZTA on long before the speed review was on the table.

“From our perspective we feel very good about it, and it’s not a moment too soon.”

He says they felt so strongly about the need for safer speeds at the Glen/SH6 intersection that Cawthron offered to help

fund ‘Slow Down’ signage, which was understood to cost around $30,000.

One person who submitted in support of the reductions spoke of two instances where their father was hit head on by a car that had crossed the centre line while travelling towards Nelson from Rai Valley.

The second crash left the man in hospital for “months” and the submitter says he still suffers a disability.

“I am in complete agreement with the NZTA, proposing new speed limits between Blenheim and Nelson. As you say in your document, the extra travel time from Blenheim to Nelson is only 9 minutes. Nine minutes is nothing when the risk of collision, and injury or death, is reduced,” they said.

All speed reductions will come into effect on December 18.

Identity theft in threatening letter to local businesses Charles Anderson Editor

charles@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Local organisations were left on edge last week when a pamphlet was left outside their doors threatening that they would be “hunted down” for appropriating Māori culture.

However, the two men whose images feature on the letter say they have nothing to do with it.

“Whoever has done this has taken my identity, taken my whakaaro, taken my beliefs, and done something really ugly with it,” Te Hāmua Nikora told the Breeze radio station.

“It's been made to look like I'm a Pākehā hater and I'm trying to drum up some sort of hate against Pākehā businesses.

Straight up, I don't like cultural appropriation, but I'm not a Pākehā hater.”

Police were notified of the incident which saw the pamphlet being dropped at several organisations around the CBD. It features photographs of Atama Moa and Te Hāmua Nikora featuring words including “confront those who abuse our culture … hunt them down”.

Neither of the men live in Nelson.

Te Hāmua says while some of the words have been taken from

The pamphlet that was left at various organisations around the CBD. Photo: Supplied. his social media accounts, the pamphlets were not his “style”.

“If I was to make a pamphlet, I'm the type of person that would knock on your door, hand it to you and talk to you about it. I wouldn't sneak in under the veil of night.”

It is understood that police are investigating and have CCTV footage of balaclava-clad people depositing the pamphlets.

Janja Heathfield of the Refinery Artspace on Hardy St says she arrived to work last week to see

the pamphlet on its window.

“When I saw it, I thought ‘what have we culturally appropriated’.

My first instinct was to have a conversation with them.”

Then, it became stranger when she found out it was not sent by who it said it was.

“It felt a little intimidating when it was talking about hunting people down,” Janja says. “But it wasn’t clear whether they were trying to discredit those people or highlight that conversation.

There are other ways to do it.”

Police thwart armed teen's plan to shoot up local school Jared Savage of NZ Herald For nearly two years, blanket suppression orders prevented reporting the troubling case of a teenager who planned to shoot teachers and fellow Tasman area high school students.

The teen - armed with a pistol grip shotgun and AR-15 semiautomatic rifle - described themselves as a "terrorist" and a judge believed the police may have prevented a tragedy similar to the Christchurch mosque shootings.

When police raided the teen's home, they found a hand-drawn diagram of a school building with "prime targets" marked with an X, including staff offices, and arrows to show planned movements along corridors.

Detectives were tipped off to the teen's "confrontational" posts on social media and searched their home, where they found documents the student had written including one titled "Note to investigator".

It was a letter in which the student described themself as a "terrorist", explained their actions and outlined the steps taken to prepare for the shooting, such as the collection of ammunition.

"Of concern to the police is that the equipment necessary to carry out [the] plans had been obtained by the defendant and located at the address," the police wrote in a summary of facts, noting the firearms, ammunition, explosives, clothing, knives and sketches of the school.

The purported "terrorist attack" plan was discovered only after members of the public tipped off the police about the social media posts.

These comments referred to blowing up a school and executing a shooting, as well as posting increasingly "inflammatory and extreme views".

Following the arrest last year, the student's peers told police the 17-year-old made comments about "blowing up" the school stage and shooting people in assembly.

The police also seized electronic devices in the student's home such as a laptop, iPad and gaming devices.

They found hundreds of images of female children wearing bikinis, or in sexual poses, or being sexually abused.

The pupil was charged with unlawful possession of the Mossberg shotgun and unlawful

possession of an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle.

The home-made bombs were powerful enough to blow off someone's hand, according to a Defence Force bomb disposal expert.

The student admitted making them, and setting one off in an abandoned building.

A charge of unlawful possession of explosives was also laid, as well as 19 counts of possession of objectionable material, in relation to images of young girls found on the computer.

Now 18-years-old, the young person pleaded guilty to the charges and was sentenced last December in the Nelson District Court to six months' community detention and two years of intensive supervision, with 15 strict conditions.

The former student's movements are monitored by GPS, they cannot use internet-capable devices, and must attend counselling and therapy sessions with clinical professionals.

"I have done, and others who are trying to help you have done, what they can. It is now over to you. I wish you good luck," Judge David Ruth said in his closing remarks at the sentencing hearing in

December.

In later seeking an order for permanent name suppression, the pupil's defence lawyer, Robert Lithgow, QC, said the progress his client had made during rehabilitation would unravel if their identity was made public.

If that happened, Lithgow said the case would attract "unwanted notoriety" and "misguided excitement" from radical extremists which would be a "nightmare" for the family, and New Zealand society if it encouraged copy-cat behaviour.

The teen's family also believed they would have to leave their hometown if their name was made public, said Lithgow, as they feared being blamed for the student's behaviour and driven out of the community.

His arguments convinced Judge Ruth to permanently suppress the name of the former student, as well as the school, at a hearing in July this year. It can be reported the school is in the "Tasman area".

NZME, the publisher of the New Zealand Herald, and the Stuff website appealed this ruling in a hearing at the High Court last month to argue that the full circumstances of the case should

be reported.

However, Justice Francis Cooke dismissed the appeal except to make some minor changes to the agreed summary of facts in a judgment released yesterday.

All other evidence and facts in the case are suppressed, ruled Justice Cooke in a decision which lifted the shroud of total secrecy imposed on the case for the past 22 months.

But at an earlier court hearing, Judge Ruth dismissed any attempt to downplay the student's behaviour as "mere musings of a disaffected teenage malcontent", as the student's preparation went "way beyond any suggestion of that nature".

Heather’s heart for Locky’s long-lasting helping nets award legacy lauded Erin Bradnock

Jonty Dine Reporter

After 14 years of helping locals get the advice they need Heather Thomas still says the best part of the job is never knowing what issue might walk through the door each day.

Heather has just been awarded a life membership to the Citizens Advice Bureau, which provides a wide range of free, confidential, independent information and advice to anyone in the community.

Since the Nelson bureau’s inception in 1984, only eight people have been awarded a life membership and only four of these have been awarded in the past decade.

Heather says one of the best parts about the work is that you never know what you’re going to be asked and there's something new every day.

“We help people find the answers they need so they can get on with their lives.”

She has worn various hats during her time as a volunteer with the bureau - as a volunteer working with clients, sitting

Heather says the team of 45 volunteers at Nelson’s bureau all have a heart for helping people and a passion for learning.

Bureau manager Megan Cole says Heather embodies the organisation’s giving values and is completely deserving of the rare award.

“Heather has always been totally, 100 per cent committed.

She’s always generous with her time and skill set.”

That skill set is made up of 50 years of volunteering throughout the Nelson community, from school boards, Girl Guides, the Nelson Historical Society committee and even as a BMX club president as her grandson had an interest in the sport.

“I love the work, I’ve loved doing it,” she says.

Nelson College farewelled its muchloved master groundman last week.

Lachlan ‘Locky’ Hume spent almost 15 years working at the college and maintained his commitment to the job right up until his death.

Locky was loved by all staff for his boundless positivity.

His life was celebrated at a memorial service at the college on Friday afternoon.

Friends recalled his warm greetings would echo through the hallways, along with his compliments and observations.

He also had a trademark catchphrase to respond to queries about his wellbeing, “I’m a box of fluffy ducks.”

Deputy principal Ron Kelly says Locky epitomised what it means to have mana.

“His contribution to Nelson College cannot be understated.”

Locky had a passion for the environment and was always quick to get boys to pick up their litter.

When not at the school he could often be seen at the Anchor Bar with beer and chips in hand.

New exhibition sheds light on ‘Dunedin Study’ Charles Anderson

Women on Wheels celebrate 12 years rolling together Erin Bradnock Nelson cycling enthusiast Bev Greig had to scout fellow bikies from a picnic table when she wanted to find people to cycle with 12 years ago.

Now the Women on Wheels cycling group has grown to 14 members with nearly all members in their 70s.

Bev says she wanted to start a cycling group after returning from touring Europe, to get other woman like her exercising and socialising.

“I didn’t know any of these ladies before. People have joined just by word of mouth,” says Bev. The women meet up weekly on

Wednesdays and typically ride 40km on varying trails, sharing leading roles each time.

Five of the 14 are turning 75 this year with the youngest member being the ripe age of 65.

Jocelyn Burke is the team's most mature rider at 79 and apparently one of the speediest in the group.

“She’s a real Speedy Gonzalez that one,” says fellow bikey Marilyn Port.

Marilyn says the coffee stop is just as an important decision as where they ride.

“We need our coffee and scones,” she says.

Bev says they have an open-door

policy and she's running another cycling group on Mondays with men and women.

“I really just want to see older people exercising and socialising because age is just a number."

On top of the weekly meet-ups the women have also organised other adventurous trips together including the West Coast Wilderness trail and Alps to Ocean trail down south.

The ladies agree it’s each other that keep them coming each week.

“We’re a real mix of people you normally wouldn’t meet, we’re all just awesome women,” says Marilyn.

A new exhibition at the Nelson Provincial Museum gives a nostalgic glimpse into the lives of more than 1000 Kiwis thought to be some of the most studied people in the world.

‘Slice of Life’ delves into the project known as the ‘Dunedin Study’, which began in 1975 and was originally designed as a short-term project to explore how birth events affect later health. A growing interest in the results, however, enabled its continuation, and today – 45 years on – it has become renowned across the world as one of the most significant projects of its kind. Participants are considered to be the thousand most studied people in the world.

“The Dunedin Study has been hugely influential, producing over 1300 publications and reports – many of which have informed policy makers in New Zealand and overseas,” says Sean Hogan, curator of the exhibition.

‘Slice of Life’ features a carefully chosen collection of era-specific objects – toys, posters, furnishings, technology – and four erathemed rooms from the 1970s, 80s, 90s and 2000s.

Visitors are invited to participate in a light-hearted study of their own bodies through the use of hands-on equipment and an ‘ageing’ machine.

They’re also encouraged to remember

their own experiences of the past four decades – from starting school to heading off on the big OE, learning to read through to learning to drive, maybe experimenting with sex, drugs and alcohol, and settling down with children – through the aid of collected historical material and décor from the 1970s to the 2000s. Associated research findings also give visitors an insight into how their early lives may have influenced who they are today.

“The Dunedin study shines a light on how seemingly small events can shape our future”, says Nelson Provincial Museum CEO Lucinda Blackley-Jimson.

“This is such an important message from a museum perspective, and the Slice of Life exhibition demonstrates this in a powerfully engaging way.”

Although the exhibition concentrates on study findings from the 1970s through to the 2000s, work on the Dunedin Study has continued, with hopes for the next assessment to be conducted around 2024. Tests cover almost all aspects of a member’s physical and mental health – including cardiovascular health, dental, respiratory and sexual and mental health, psychosocial wellbeing, and the impact of relationships, behaviour and family.

Slice of Life at Nelson Provincial Museum runs until April 25 next year.

Children’s author flipping fairytales on their heads Erin Bradnock Katie Pye flips fairytales on their heads.

The author’s Fairytale Fraud series launches locally this Saturday, taking familiar fairytale stories and flipping them on their heads with well-being messages.

From lessons on empathy, listening, being kind to your siblings and asking for help, Katie hopes the messages in her latest children's book series will connect with both children and parents.

As a mother of three, Katie says a lot of the well-being narratives come from what she’s learnt as a parent.

“I want to help support parents in starting and continuing wellbeing conversations,” says Katie.

She says a career change into writing

was a ‘wild card’ move having worked in several social service sector roles across the globe.

“My mother was a children’s writer too, so the rhymes and rhythms have always come naturally to me.”

Katie launched her six new stories internationally earlier this year on Amazon to five-star reviews, but wants as many Kiwi families as possible to be able to reach her work.

As well as being available on Amazon, her books are also available locally through her website and have been printed here in New Zealand, too.

Fairytale Frauds local launch is free and open to all this Saturday at the Nelson Library at 11am where there will be a gingerbread man hunt, crafts, a signing and a reading.

Making and taking retail Bay Dreams opportunities in the CBD downsized for 2021

Erin Bradnock When a site tucked between two experienced retailers became available earlier this year, interior consultant Anna Stevenson jumped at the opportunity with the help of her daughter Mia Domenica.

Pablo Home has just opened its doors on 153 Trafalgar St and owner Anna believes the storefront is an opportunity made possible because of the strange state of the world.

“Usually, we’d be off travelling six weeks of the year but, because of Covid, and since I’m a busy beaver, we’ve got the store,” she says.

Anna says Pablo Home and the homeware retail is a natural extension of what she and Mia already do on dayto-day basis.

Anna is a practising interior consultant and runs the open home staging business ‘Open Home Ready’ alongside her daughter and says she’s seen more clients putting their money into their homes as

"People are looking at their homes and spaces with a new lens.”

Anna says she wants Pablo Home to ‘tickle all the senses’ from the look, smell and music, and that anything in the store is something she

would use in her own home or in her staging.

Anna says daughter Mia will be working as a style consultant and has been crucial to shaping the store’s aesthetic.

“She definitely gets her creativity from me, but it’s been great to have her opinion

Kick start your career

as she’s looking at things with youthful, fresh eyes.”

Mia agrees and says it’s easy and natural working together.

“It’s like working with extensions of ourselves in each other. i just know her exact response to any question instinctively.”

Bay Dreams is downsizing for 2021, moving to Rutherford Park and the Trafalgar Centre.

The popular summer music festival is scheduled to be held on January 5.

Organisers have secured consent from Nelson City Council for the new location. The new layout will include more stages, with a fourth stage being added.

The Trafalgar Centre will be converted into a massive multi-room nightclub with airconditioned spaces.

The VIP area is also moving closer to the main stage, which will offer more trees for extra shade.

Camping will remain onsite at Rutherford Park.

Around 50 performers are expected at the festival.

International acts Flume and Pendulum were pulled from the line-up last month due to Covid-19 travel restrictions, however some overseas artists are still confirmed to play, such as Peking Duck, who has been approved to go into managed isolation prior to the festival.

Kiwi acts include Dave Dobbyn, L.A.B, Mitch James, Anna Robinson, Katchafire and Concord Dawn.

These rubbish bins are not only there for the convenience of dog owners.

I often pick up general rubbish washed up with the high tides while walking my dog. Hopefully, other people than dog owners do the same.

It would be very helpful to keep the rubbish bins above the high tide mark to encourage this practice. Maybe something as simple as to empty them more often would help?

Helen Black

Your Voice Workers quit smoking together: Well done. My treat was a new car. I can afford the payments now I'm not buying tobacco. Shelley Bishop Congratulations, well done. I was a heavy smoker but gave it up 25 years ago. June Wall Well done. It’s one of the most difficult things to do. I gave up smoking 20 years ago and haven’t looked back.

Sue Eyles Currin Council defends beach bin ban: Half the time they look as though they haven't been cleared for weeks. Full to overflowing. Kay Williams The bins in carparks and at the entrance to the beaches will remain and have increased capacity. Surely, we can manage to get our rubbish from the beach to the carpark without too much effort.

Natalie Thomson This has worked really well in our area - people take all their rubbish with them and there are less scavengers around bins. Lynda Hogg It's one thing for locals using the area to take their rubbish home, but what about visitors to the area? Where do they put their rubbish? They will just dump it somewhere.

Christine Joy Clements Good idea. I think people should be responsible for their own rubbish. I don't mind

Natureland Manager Ruth Seabright and Nurture@Home owner Janelle Gardiner present Donna Noel, Emmie Paul (5) and Poppy Paul (11m), Bianca Rutene, Aubree Elliott (4) Summah Elliott (2) and Brooklyn Elliott (4), and Chloe Brooks with family pass prizes after they chose the winning names of Natureland’s spring lambs; Monty, Cassie, Eli and Pāua. Photo: Sara Hollyman picking up the odd bit. Jo Hatton Geez people. If you can carry the stuff onto the beach, surely you can carry out the empty containers, wrappers, etc. Don't be lazy. And yes, if my dog poops on the roadside verge anywhere I am walking her, then of course I carry it home with me in a bag. Erina Parks Unfortunately, there will always be lazy people who no matter what, will never care. Which is why it's up to council to provide bins. If we could all take home our own rubbish that would be ideal, I just don't think it's likely with some people, sadly. Kelsey Harris People won't take litter with them, especially dog poo. If there are no bins, they will

just leave it on the beach. The common sense approach is surely a) empty the bins more often, and b) provide bins that complement the landscape if you don't like how they look. People = rubbish - it's an inescapable fact.

Diana O'Kane Personal ownership of our own rubbish is really important. We frequently have overflowing bins which people add to without thinking.

Cherie Esekielu I am always looking for a rubbish bin. Don't remove them, if anything we need more. Jan Rollason Great idea. Pack in and pack out needs to be part of our culture, rather than making it someone else’s problem to take away. Diane Chandler

That’s ridiculous. We need the rubbish bins or people will just litter. We pay a lot for rates, so why aren’t council providing necessary items to keep the beach clean. Why would they be removed? Council, listen to the people who you are representing and stop wasting money.

Debie Thompson Worth doing. It's like having to have your own shopping bags. It'll take a while, but we'll adapt.

Doug Barry-Martin If people can ship stuff into the beach area, then they can also be tidy kiwis and ship out the resultant rubbish they have created and dispose of it once they get home. Pretty simple and easy, really.

Dennis Goodman

Here I was thinking the other day how nice it be to have extra bins around the place. I remember all our beaches being mostly rubbish free, and no forestry litter.

Go check the place out now and it's all covered in plastic and forestry slash.

Merrick Allan

Works well, we have this on our local beach in Canterbury. Often see community groups out doing annual beach clean-ups which teaches ownership to everyone of all ages.

Kristyn Musson

No, they need to stay or more people will just leave their dog poos. We need more bins if anything. Please.

Bronwyn Eggers

Never matters what ratepayers think, if they think it’s a good idea they carry on regardless. Ann Cooper Have you considered a bin redesign instead?

Why not admit it's a cost cutting exercise?

A spectacular showcase of Māoridom was celebrated at the Trafalgar Centre on Friday for the Te Huinga Whetū Kapa Haka competition.

Tamariki took to the stage to perform waiata, poi and haka all with incredible passion. Almost 20 teams took part with about 1000 young

performers. The top two placed teams, Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Tuia te Matangi and Te Pītau Whakarei will represent Te Tauihu o te Waka at te Mana Kuratahi 2021. In the secondary school’s section, Ngā Tāniko o Kiwa and Te Kura Tamatāne took out first and second respectively.

For 55 years the Dayman family have been associated with motor vehicles in Nelson and now, as the third generation of the family takes the reins, the company is reasserting its roots.

Known as the Nelson Bays Motor Group since 2007, the company has taken back its original name – Dayman’s.

For new sales manager Scott Dayman it was an easy decision to go back to the name his grandfather used when he founded the business on Bridge Street in 1965.

“We’ve had some changes in the business with personnel and with Holden deciding to exit the Australian and New Zealand markets so it seemed like the perfect time to change our name and refocus our business for the next 55 years.”

The name change also heralds the addition of the MG franchise to the business, joining Nissan, Subaru and Suzuki.

“I feel like we have a car for everyone,” says Scott. “MG have an electric car for just $48,990 and with our other brands we can cater for all vehicle needs, it’s really exciting to have this kind of range available for Nelson car owners, whether you’re buying your first car, a work ute, a family car or a car for your retirement.”

While the future of Dayman’s is the buzz around town, it’s its past

Nelson Weekly

Garry and Scott Dayman at Dayman’s, formerly Nelson Bays Motor Group, on the corner of Collingwood and Halifax Sts. that Garry Dayman believes sets it up for a bright future.

“We’ve built this business on integrity and trust. We’ve been selling cars to generations of Nelsonians and we take that responsibility seriously. When I told my mum, Pixie, who founded the business with my father, that we were changing the name to Dayman’s she told me ‘your father would be very pleased’,

which was really nice to hear.”

Four years after Peter passed away in 1991 Garry moved the business from its former Bridge St home to the corner of Collingwood and Halifax Sts, where it currently resides. In a strange twist, that site is where the former Te Rangi Hospital once sat, the very hospital that Peter was born in.

Garry says that it was a big move

for the business and one that has seen it grow to what it is today, with forty staff on its books.

Dayman’s now includes the Mobil petrol station on Collingwood St, a parts and service department – that will continue to service and stock parts for Holdens – and the sales yards on either side of Halifax St. For Garry, he says changing the name has a good feel about it.

“I’m very comfortable that we’re going back to our grass roots and we’ve just had such positive feedback from our clients and staff.

“I think family values is critical.

We live by family values, we are a family business. So if people are in the market for a new vehicle, we’d like you to consider what we have to offer. We have qualified staff, we have a good product range and we’ve always prided ourselves on the quality of our used vehicles.”

Scott, who grew up working in the business washing cars and pumping petrol in his school holidays, says he’s hoping to build on the back of those values established decades ago.

“We’ve been trading since 1965, so to be servicing the motoring needs of the Nelson public and still trading today, I think it speaks for itself. People want trust and confidence from those they buy off, we can offer that.”

Scott says along with the name change, he’s also settling in as the manager of the company after ten years working on the floor.

“Before we had Vern [Walker] and Mark [Chapman] who had so much experience between them so I’ve got pretty big shoes to fill really.

They were well known and did a great job for a really long time and I’ve come in at a time when

the industry is changing dramatically. We’ve gone through Covid 19 and hopefully that isn’t going to creep up again. Cars are changing dramatically and the motor industry is probably moving faster now than at any other time of its history.”

He says the value of a new car is amazing.

“Now we have an entry level MG for $17,990 which has reverse sensors, a camera, and even Apple Car Play to sync your phone up.

“A new car is much more affordable now than it was 20 years ago, and the specification is incredible. They are more fuel efficient and they don’t require the same amount of servicing. And now we’re going to electric vehicles.

As that happens the dynamic of a motor dealership will change as well and we’re excited to be a part of that.”

Once you’ve found your future vehicle at Dayman’s, the team can also help you out with insurance and finance options, all of which can be organised on site.

With two huge yards, a service department, brand new Suburu, MG, Nissan, Suzuki vehicles and a quality range of used vehicles, Dayman’s have your motoring needs sorted. So head in and visit the friendly team or visit daymans.co.nz

Awareness week highlights local hospice services

From 23rd November to 28th November is Hospice Awareness Week 2020, which is an opportunity for the Nelson and Tasman communities to better understand how the Nelson Tasman Hospice helps people who are dying, and their families. “Hospice Awareness Week is typically held in May, but we postponed it this year because of the lockdown,” says fundraising and marketing manager, Hudson Dodd. “We are trying to raise awareness about our services and it’s also a lead-in to our annual fundraising campaign called ‘Trees of Remembrance.’” The Christmas-themed campaign is an opportunity for people to remember a loved one who has passed away by writing

their name or message of remembrance on a card that’s shaped like a Christmas tree ornament that hangs on a Christmas tree.

“The Christmas holidays are particularly poignant for people who have lost a loved one and this is a way for people to remember them and also make a donation to hospice in their memory.”

The statistics are high. Currently, one in three New Zealanders die in hospice care. “That’s projected to rise to two in three by mid-century,” says Hudson. “Most people have some degree of familiarity with hospice, but there are a few misconceptions out there about hospice services. That’s why we have hospice awareness week to help everyone understand the

Photo credit: David Chadwick Photography services we offer and the fact that they are free to anyone in the region.” Nelson Tasman Hospice serves the population of Nelson and Tasman, everywhere from Murchison to Golden Bay to Nelson.

Palliative and bereavement care “The fundamental concept is the term ‘palliative care,” explains Hudson.

“This involves caring for a person’s symptoms with

pain relief and other comfort measures without addressing the cause of the illness because it is terminal and allopathic medicine has no cure.” Hudson says one of the misconceptions is that while many Hospice patients are cancer patients, this is only one of many life-limiting conditions. “There is a whole range of other illnesses that bring people into hospice care, from neurological conditions to cardio and pulmonary conditions.” Basically, for anyone who has been told by their doctor they have a year or less to live, Nelson Tasman Hospice provides

specialised palliative care. “This means we deal with more complex cases directly because people often have multiple conditions, or co-morbidities.” Hospice provides specialised palliative care and also supports general palliative care delivery across the region. “It is delivered by GPs, hospitals and all aged care facilities.

We provide training and support to the medical teams and other facilities delivering palliative care.” All of these services are free for patients and their families.

As well as medical services, Nelson Tasman Hospice also pro-

Christmas Eve. All monies raised go to Nelson Tasman Hospice. “People can write a memory of a loved one on a card and hang it on the Christmas tree and make a donation,” says Hudson. “All proceeds raised locally go to Nelson Tasman Hospice.”

There will also be community Trees of Remembrance stalls. The locations are as follows: outside New World Stoke, inside Richmond Mall (4 - 11

vides support services to patients’ families. “Our palliative and bereavement care is provided by nurses, doctors, health care assistants, social workers who help families navigate the healthcare system, as well as bereavement support and pastoral care.” Over 300 volunteers assist with patient care and support services across the whole region. “This wraparound care is delivered mainly at home, in patients’ own homes which may be a house or apartment or an aged care facility, wherever the patient lives is where they are cared for.” For more acute conditions, and also for respite care during an extended illness, Nelson Tasman Hospice has a 10-bed in-patient unit at the new hospice which is located on Suffolk Road in Stoke.

Donations help hospice to function Nelson Tasman Hospice receives just over half of its funding through the DHB from the Ministry of Health to provide palliative care to the region, amounting to 55 percent of its annual operating budget.

“We are a charitable trust, and

Jan Riley (Community Trees of Remembrance coordinator for Motueka) and Veronica Cairns-Dixon (Community Trees of Remembrance coordinator for Nelson, Stoke and Richmond). therefore we need to fundraise the other 45 percent of our annual costs so that our services can be delivered free of charge.

We generate those funds in a couple of ways. Firstly, through our hospice shops in Nelson,

Richmond, Motueka and Takaka, from which all revenues go to hospice.” Collectively, the stores generate one and a quarter million dollars each year, but hospice still needs to raise another one and a quarter million, which it does in a range of ways. “We secure grants from funders, we get business sponsors who support us both in cash and in kind, and from individuals and families.

Law firm gives advice regarding business structures In order for to a business to grow, Nelson lawyer Craig Morice has some sound advice. Craig co-owns longstanding Nelson law firm Rout Milner Fitchett with Luke Acland and 3rd generation partner, Robert Fitchett. “I always advise clients to have a structure established correctly from the start,” says Craig.

“If it’s done properly, the business grows a lot more smoothly.” He says sometimes growth can happen too fast for business owners to form a structure and before they know it, there are teething issues that ultimately prove costly to resolve. At the outset of a business, one of the Rout Milner Fitchett team will talk to clients about their business structure. “If there are business partners or shareholders, the key is the partnership agreement, shareholder agreement or constitution. Our job is to provide you advice about which structure to adopt and then draft the necessary documentation reflecting what the client wants.

Since July 1st, with the addition of lawyer Luke Acland as a partner, Rout Milner Fitchett has a much wider breadth of knowledge to as-

sess client’s needs. Luke has specialist knowledge and skills to deal with employment disputes both for employees and employers. Luke can also assist businesses who may have contractual disputes with their customers or suppliers.

Rout Milner Fitchett is conscious legal costs for businesses are quite expensive and clients need to have clear expectations of what they want from the firm and about how much your lawyer will charge you.

“At Rout Milner Fitchett, we pride ourselves on being very realistic and transparent with our charges.”

Rout Milner Fitchett has acted for many local businesses that have grown substantially over time. “One of the most pleasing aspects acting for a client is seeing their business grow and become successful. Even if we play a small part in that success, it is incredibly satisfying and rewarding.”

First film fest for Hazel Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Hazel Twissell reckons anyone can be a filmmaker.

The aspiring producer has just completed her first film, which will premiere at the Top of the South Film Festival this weekend at the Suter Theatre.

“That’s what the festival really likes to encourage - anyone can have a go. It gives people an opportunity to show their films on the big screen.”

Her film ‘Seeing Eye Wolf ’ is one of 55 short films to be featured in the annual festival, which is now into its sixth year.

Having dabbled in acting, filmmaking is new territory for Hazel.

“I’ve always liked the ‘making of ’ side of things rather than being on the stage. It’s all this extra technical wizardry that I was slightly geeking out over.”

Her film was born on a ‘sick day’ when she wrote a story, and after taking it along to a meeting with other filmmakers she was encouraged to bring it to life.

“I had mentors to show me what to do to get up to shoot day and how to get all the crew and actors together.”

She doesn’t want to “give too much away” on the storyline but says it offers a “slightly

VS

absurd” subject matter.

“It’s a ten-minute film about a conversation in a cafe. It’s a slightly supernatural story.”

Hazel says it will be a “proud but nervous” moment when she sees her work on the big screen.

“I’ve done a couple of small showings to the cast and they’re laughing in the right places.”

The festival offers a variety of films, from drama to documentaries, horror to comedy, thriller to romance and music videos to science fiction.

The Top of the South Film Festival runs over three nights from 20 - 22 November. For tickets and a full list of what’s screening, go to www.tsfilmfest. org/tickets

A big turnout is expected at the upcoming Golden Edge Nelson A & P Show 2020, which is taking place this weekend at the Richmond Park Showgrounds.

It’s a great opportunity for people to come along and enjoy a fun day out with friends or family.

“The Town & Country Vet Animal Barn has a menagerie of pets and farm animals, including a yak, alpacas, goats, rabbits and chicks,” says staffer Sonja Kamphuis. “Come and see us at our new location. You will get to see the cutest sheep in the whole world!”

Kid’s activities, like the bouncy castle and pony rides, will now be at the

front of the grounds as well, near the sheep entries and the goat entries.

“We’ve got highland dancing, a vintage machinery display, wood chopping, trade exhibitions, and this year we have a new excavator’s competition,” says organiser Annette Robinson.

“It’s a skills test for digger operators where they have a particular task to do such as pouring a cup of tea or dropping something into a bucket.”

Last year, thousands of people flocked to the twoday event and it’s hoped this year will be similar.

“It’s the first big event that’s happened in Nelson since Covid. There will be a good

variety of food stalls and coffee vendors onsite, and lots of the usual competitions running – photography, cooking, winemaking, beer, horticulture and handcrafts.”

Annette began working for the Nelson A & P Association in 2008 and has been the park’s manager since 2012.

“I love the organisational side, the people, and most of all, I love the park. As a kid, when you came along to the show, you would always know Christmas was coming.”

The show is the park’s major fundraiser for the year, and it helps keep the place running. “The Nelson A &

Black Ferns to play historic game in Nelson Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

The world’s best women’s rugby team is in town.

The Black Ferns arrived in Nelson on Monday as they prepare for their match at Trafalgar Park on Saturday against the New Zealand Barbarians.

Tasman Rugby Union CEO Tony Lewis is hopeful it won’t

be the last visit as the union hope to make Nelson a fortress for the Black Ferns.

“Womens rugby is crying out for a place where they are embraced, get good crowds and are the number one ticket in town.”

Tony says the logistics of bringing All Black tests to Nelson are complex, with pop-up seating required and multimillion-dollar investments

from local businesses.

“Nelson is absolutely perfect for a Black Fern’s test. You do not get a better stadium in New Zealand.”

Tony says the team will be involved in a number of public activities throughout the week.

“We will have a number of events celebrating women in business and sport.”

He is confident that Nelsonians will throw their support behind

the fixture.

“If we can get a big crowd and show the Tasman region supports the Black Ferns, we will go for more games and make Trafalgar Park a fortress.”

Tony says these are exciting times for the union.

“If all goes well, we will look at working with NZRU on securing year on year. It is an opportunity for us to embrace the female game and give them

a home, and why not in sunny Nelson?”

The Black Ferns will take on the New Zealand Barbarians at 4.35pm at Trafalgar Park on Saturday November 21.

The match will serve as a curtain raiser for the Mitre 10 Cup semifinal between Tasman and Bay of Plenty.

Tickets for the double header are available here https://tickets. mako.nz/tour/view/1059

Michelle makes her mark SportS with Manusina Jonty Dine As Michelle Curry stood arm in arm with her Samoan teammates with the country’s national anthem playing throughout the stadium, tears streamed down her cheeks.

It was an incredibly emotional moment for Michelle as she thought about her family before making her international rugby debut for Manusina against Tonga.

“I was just really proud that I had made it this far and with my family there.”

With her parents sitting in the stands watching on, Michelle realised her dream of representing her country.

“They flew up with my partner which was awesome, and I’ve got heaps of family in Auckland who all came and watched.”

Michelle grew up in the village of Vaoala with her ten siblings.

After moving to New Zealand as a 14-year-old, Michelle eventually started playing the game during her last year at Nelson College for Girls.

“I was a late bloomer.”

Spurred on by her rugby mad brothers, Michelle made an immediate impact.

“All my brothers play, my oldest (Mike) used to be in the Mako and now plays in Japan.”

After four seasons with the Mako women, Michelle got herself on the

Samoan rugby radar.

The national coaches first told Michelle they were tracking her progress with the Mako during the Farah Palmer Cup and it has been a rapid rise for the 24-yearold winger ever since.

It was a credit to her talent that she was able to stand out in a side with a -334 points differential.

“It was a really tough season.”

She vividly recalls the phone conversation informing her of her selection.

“They said ‘you’ve made it’, I was really, really stoked. It has been a long-term goal and I never thought it would be this year.”

The fearless Michelle had no qualms about coming up against the notoriously big and powerful Tongans.

“They were massive, at Tasman I am one of the average-sized players, but up there I was one of the tiniest.”

However, she used her speed and agility to avoid the much larger opposition.

This was until the 55th minute when she was hit high.

Because her head bounced off the turf, she was forced from the field due to medical protocol.

“I was a bit gutted but I think the whole experience made up for it. I got 55 minutes in my starting position and one of my coaches pulled me aside and said, ‘look at the score and know you

Michelle Curry made her debut for Manusina on Saturday. Photo: Jonty Dine. contributed to that.’”

Michelle says the stadium was packed with incredibly vocal Pacifica supporters.

“Every hit, every metre gained everyone was cheering. You had to scream on the field because all you could hear were the fans.”

Following the six-try, 40-0 victory, Manusina now advance to a World Cup qualification tournament.

Originally planned for Europe, due to Covid-19 there is a push to host it in New Zealand.

“It’s going to be quite tight, but hopefully we make it all the way.”

Cricket: A thrilling encounter between Wanderers and Stoke/Nayland kicked off the Tasman Premier League in electrifying fashion on Saturday. Wanderer’s all-rounder Harsh Visavadiya’s century helped his side upset perennial powerhouses Stoke/Nayland in an epic battle at Brightwater Domain. Needing five to win off seven balls with one wicket in hand, Harsh ran out Stoke’s final batsman Tim O’Connor to claim the stunning victory. At Victory Square, Nelson College held firm to reach the 149-run total in the final over against Wakatu with four wickets in hand, Kaleb McKay leading the way with 30 not out. At Jubilee Park, Waimea Toi Toi United eked out a 20-run win over the Marlborough Dolphins.

In Marlborough, the Falcons allowed ACOB to amass 274 and were never in the hunt, beaten by a hefty 221 runs. Meanwhile, the Newman Shield remains in Nelson hands after defeating Marlborough in Motueka on Sunday. Set a moderate target of 197, Marlborough were dismissed for 171 in the 40th over.

Basketball: The Tasman Suns put up a strong performance at the inaugural Schick 3x3 tournament in Invercargill at the weekend.

The Suns set the early pace with a win over the highly favoured Hawke’s Bay before knocking off the Otago Nuggets on day one.

The momentum was halted however in the quarter-final as the Suns went down 17-16 to the NZ Selection on Saturday. After three days and 70 games of close-fought basketball, it was the Southland Sharks claiming the men’s title while the Auckland Dream took out the women’s tournament.

Burson takes out the Cando Cup Jody Scott

Speedway Reporter editorial@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Super saloons were the feature grade at Milestone Homes Top of the South Speedway last weekend.

Featuring the inaugural “Cando Cup Challenge”, it was a chance for the mighty V8s to test out the new track surface, a lap record and a few set-up changes. After the first race there were some very happy drivers making the most of a long lay-off and

a few rained-out meetings.

Ian Burson was the one to catch, slicing through traffic over the heats to earn pole for the feature race, but it was race sponsor and new club member Campbell McManaway who was all over Burson in the feature race.

That was until he pushed a little too hard, riding the wall for a brief moment. Mosgiel’s Ray Stewart was second, with ex-Tiger and now Miltonbased Ricky Boulton coming third. The drivers had plenty

of banter over the evening and with Isaac Russ, Dave Manera and Shane Carey all competing, we will hopefully see the cars scheduled more often.

The stock cars ran their best pairs with 1nz Ben Smith and the “Man of Steel”, John Everett, claiming the title. The production saloons were also in pairs mode with Jordan Gillespie and Dave Allan claiming victory. The 30lap streetcar race ended the evening with “Magic Man” Andre Vegas weaving a spell

or two to take the chequered flag.

On a sad note, “the Love Bug Herbie” needed to be saved by a couple of firemen after it got a wee bit hot under the bonnet. Time will tell if “Herbie” can ride again.

Next meeting it’s the sprint cars making their season debut with the “Hydraulink War of the Wings” series coming to town on November 28. There is a good chance another lap record will be lowered as the fastest cars on clay strut their stuff.

Mako secure home semi Jonty Dine The Mako are set to enter what has become familiar territory over the past few seasons, play-off footy.

Tasman will host a Mitre 10 Cup Premiership semi-final against Bay of Plenty on Saturday night after defeating Otago in Dunedin at the weekend.

The defending champions were made to work in its final outing of the regular season, committing a number of errors in the 26-20 victory.

Mako co-head coach Andrew Goodman was relieved to reach another semi-final, suggesting his team did “what they came down to Dunedin to do”.

“We had to win, not only to make the play-offs, but also to get the belief going into the semis.”

Andrew says semi-final rugby is all about who turns up on the day.

“We will just have to prepare well, get the bodies fresh and the minds sharp and look forward to a good crowd in Nelson. I can’t wait for finals football.”

The depth of the Mako squad, which has been severely depleted up front by untimely injuries, retirements and All Blacks commitments, continues to be tested.

“Some of our guys who have come back in the last few weeks are stepping up for us, like Taina FoxMatamua who had his best game of the season today. Anton Segner also brought some good energy when he got on late - we just have to back the boys and trust they will do their job.”

Saturday’s Trafalgar Park semifinal kicks off at 7.05pm after the Black Ferns play the New Zealand Barbarians.

In the other premiership semi, Auckland meet Waikato.
