Supermarket deemed earthquake prone Staff Reporter The Countdown supermarket building in Trafalgar Park has been designated as earthquake prone after a recent seismic assessment.

The building on the corner of Paru Paru Road and Halifax Street in Nelson is soon to undergo strengthening work by its owner Wakatū Incorporation, which is expected to take about a month.

Wakatū Incorporation group general manager property and commercial, Iain Sheves, says to minimise disruption to the customers and staff at Countdown, the strengthening work will take

place overnight, so the store can continue to operate during its normal opening hours.

He says that as soon as the detailed seismic assessment was completed, Wakatū Incorporation com-

missioned structural engineers to undertake a thorough investigation and identify a solution to strengthen the building.

FROM PAGE 1 Iain says the finished engineering design work is currently going through the approval process with the Nelson City Council, and as soon as that has been signed off, work will begin on strengthening the building.

“We’re grateful to everyone who has contributed to this project – the team at Countdown, Nelson City Council, and the engineers and contractors carrying out the work."

Until the strengthening work has been carried out, a Nelson City Council issued earthquake-prone building status notice will be displayed on the Countdown building.

Once the strengthening work is finished, Nelson City Council will reassess the building’s earthquake-prone status.

New team for Nelson Arts Fest Staff Reporter A new team of faces has taken over the reins of the Nelson Arts Festival and are promising to use arts to connect the community.

The new team consists of cocreative directors Rose Campbell and Lydia Zanetti, and community and education director Shanine Hermsen.

Lydia says within the team they have a huge variety of skills and experiences, and collectively more than 50 years in Aotearoa’s arts industry.

“We’re excited to be the new custodians of this well-loved festival.”

One of the most-loved aspects to the festival is the Mark Parade, renamed the Mask Carnivale. The theme for this year is “connections”.

Disruption of hospital services possible Jenny Nicholson

Sick leave and strikes could lead to disruptions of services at Nelson Hospital in the coming months.

Nelson Hospital general manager of clinical services Pat Davidsen says sick leave is on the rise among staff.

"Anecdotally, we are seeing considerable sick leave among many clinical and non-clinical staff currently, as winter illnesses increase in number.”

He says that at times sick leave results in cancellation of services, including postponing and rescheduling surgery.

However, he states this is the absolute last option and the hospital has contingency plans in place to cover many situations.

“The length of time for the rescheduled appointment varies, depending on the theatre team’s availability and those bookings already made,” he says.

Nurses last week also voted in favour of three strikes to be held for 24 hours on 29 and 30 July and again on 9 and 10 September and another eighthour strike on 19 August.

This follows an earlier strike in June which saw services reduced for an eight-hour period.

Amanda Field (centre) was one of nurses who went on strike in June. Nurses plan to strike again over the next three months.

New Zealand Nurses Organisation lead advocate David Wait says the strike action is needed to achieve “the recognition and working conditions that will ensure nursing remains a viable profession”.

“We are facing a national health crisis in terms of safe staffing, recruitment and retention; and the working conditions our members face can no longer be endured and that’s why our issues matter.”

Meanwhile, Nelson Marlborough Health chief medical officer Dr Nick Baker says there has been an increase in respiratory illness in the region among pre-school children and infants. There were 48 presentations to the Emergency Department and 14 admissions from 30 June to

7 July.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a respiratory illness, with symptoms that include a runny nose, decrease in appetite, coughing, sneezing, fever and wheezing. It can also cause more serious illness such as narrowing airways and pneumonia.

The advice to parents is to call your GP or Healthline (0800 611 116) if you are concerned or your child’s symptoms are worsening, and not to return to childcare, school or work until all symptoms have resolved.

Nelson Hospital is restricting visitors and asking anyone who is unwell to not visit and to wait until they are symptom free for 48 hours. It is recommended that you phone ahead to check which wards are admitting visitors.

Aimex fined $275k after man suffers brain injury Samantha Gee of RNZ

Owen Tasker M 021 0476352 P 03 5380768 Bulsara Ltd REAA Licensed MREINZ Licensed Real Estate Salesperson (REAA 2008)

A Nelson engineering company has been ordered to pay more than $340,000 after a teenage apprentice was found unconscious in the engine room of a vessel where he was exposed to toxic chemicals.

The man, who was 19 years old at the time, suffered an anoxic brain injury after inhaling the fumes of a hydrocarbon-based degreaser which has left him unable to work since the July 2019 incident.

His employer, Aimex Limited was sentenced on a charge of failing to ensure the health and safety of its employees by exposing an individual to risk of harm or illness, in the Nelson District Court last Friday.

The charge carries a maximum penalty of $1.5 million.

The company was fined $275,000 and ordered to pay $50,000 for emotional harm reparation and $15,000 for consequential losses and $1400 prosecution costs.

Judge Chris Tuohy said if the man had received adequate training, the space he was working in was properly ventilated or he had been supervised, it was likely the incident could have been avoided.

"Despite the various formal

documentation that may have been set up and formal systems set up by the company, there was no real appreciation on the ground of the potential for serious harm, or even death by inhalation or absorption of this commonly used substance."

Aimex lawyer Brian Nathan said following the incident the company had undertaken leadership changes, which showed how seriously the owners had taken the incident.

The man, whose name is suppressed, described in a victim impact statement how he was excited to start his apprenticeship as it had been his dream to work as a marine engineer and eventually move to Australia with his partner.

The now 21-year-old described being easily fatigued, irritable, suffering from headaches, memory loss and struggling to process information.

"I can't exercise like I used to as my head throbs and my heart pounds real fast. I feel faint. I can't sleep. My mind rushes because I worry I will forget things.

"I would be through my apprenticeship by now and earning good money, but I can no longer see how I could return if I could not read, write, focus or remember things."

His mother told the court how

she felt emotionally drained and broken in the two years since the incident as she came to terms with how her son's life had changed.

"It was very apparent to me and others that my son was far from OK and a completely different person to whom I'd raised. It upsets me that my once well-spoken, gentle, considerate, passionate, confident, energetic, polite, caring enthusiastic son is gone."

Judge Tuohy said Aimex had not provided the man with adequate training and equipment and he had not been supervised at the time of the incident.

"He was only 19, had just started his apprenticeship and it seems quite plain that he had no understanding of the potential danger of the material he was using."

The judge said it was clear that he had suffered serious physical and financial consequences as a result of the injury.

After the sentencing, a spokeswoman for the family said employees had the right to expect they would come home healthy after work and able to continue on with their lives, while employers had a moral responsibility and obligation to ensure that was the case.

Fate leads to same book, 27 years apart Sara Hollyman Reporter

sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Some may call it coincidence or perhaps fate, but what happened to Evie Perrin is simply described by the seven-year-old as “weird”.

It’s a curious plot worthy of a novel, perhaps.

Evie loves to read, but the Baby-Sitters Club series is one of her favourites, something she recently found out was a common interest of her mother’s when she was young.

Nikki Perrin says the books are quite hard to come by these days and keeps a regular eye on Trademe on behalf of her daughter Evie, who she says is an avid reader.

Evie was browsing the Birchwood School library recently when she was surprised to come across a few of books from the series on the shelf.

After flicking through the options, many of which she

Evie, 7, and mum Nikki Perrin with the book they both rented on the same day, 27 years apart. Photo: Sara Hollyman. hadn’t read yet, she settled on one and scanned it out for the holidays.

She thought the book looked quite old so, as she hopped into bed for some evening reading, she flicked to the back where she found a list of names of people who had also borrowed the book.

These dated back as far back as 1994, a system long since replaced by digital scanning.

Second from the top of the

list, Evie noticed the name ‘Nikki’ and thought it might be her mum, or perhaps her friend’s mum, who shares the same name.

Nikki confirmed it was in fact her name and handwriting. In a curious twist of fate, she had once read the same book her daughter was now preparing to dive into.

But then it got even stranger.

Next to Nikki’s name was

a stamped date - 29 June 1994; the exact day Evie had borrowed the book, just 27 years earlier.

“I remember reading lots of Baby-Sitters Club books but not that particular one.

It’s in really good condition considering how many kids must’ve read it,” says Nikki.

“It’s amazing that it was exactly the same date next to my name, a bit of fate or serendipity maybe.”

Mags is painting for neurological awareness, Wednesday, May 26: Not only did Mags Meechang paint her way through the ‘Fifty for 50’ challenge for the Neurological Foundation, but she successfully sold all her paintings. “I was so well supported throughout the whole exhibition by friends, Nelson Golf Club and members, as well as my older son's teaching friends in Winton, that I almost sold out in just over a week,” says the Nelson artist. Several paintings were “clambered over” so some people had to choose alternatives, or they missed out. “In the end I managed to send the Neurological Foundation $1100 - more than double my target. They are pretty chuffed,” she says. Mags says she interested to learn what research gets selected in this year’s round of funding for the foundation.

Free child car seat fittings, Wednesday, June 2: A promotion to have free child car seat checks through Baby on the Move proved so successful that it has been extended to the end of July. Owner Marianne Hart Biggs says the team unearthed all sorts of things thanks to the council-funded initiative. That included finding expired car seats, ill-fitting seats and ones that had no anchor point for the seats. She says at least 200 people took advantage of the check and encourages more to come in for a “no judgement” assessment of their seat.

‘Dream’ mobile dental clinic to help region Charles Anderson Editor

charles@nelsonweekly.co.nz

A dream six years in the making was officially opened last week and will soon be seen driving around Nelson, Tasman, Marlborough and the West Coast.

Owner-operator of Access Dental, Paula WieblitzPalmer, has worked in several roles under the umbrella of dentistry for 30 years but says that launching her community mobile dentistry unit, was definitely her highlight.

“Access Dental Mobile Community Trust was set up to serve the vulnerable in Nelson and the wider community,” she says.

“Its purpose is to ‘go the extra mile for a healthier smiler’ because so many benefits come from that ... your smile.”

Paula and her team of dental professionals, will be working in partnership with communitybased health organisations and through sponsorship to assess, treat, and educate people of all ages and backgrounds,

but particularly Māori, Pacifika, refugees, elderly, geographically-challenged and low-income earners.

“We’ve chosen these groups because they all face barriers to accessing dental care,” says Paula. ‘’This really is a preventable disease.

Unfortunately, there are a huge amount of third world dental infections creeping into first world society and access to dental care is a big problem and something needed to be done about it.’’

Access to timely dental care for adults is an increasing problem in New Zealand. People are going to the emergency dentist at the hospitals as a last resort to get access to free urgent dental care, but can suffer for a long term before this and create negative impacts on their health.

Cutting the ribbon on the trust’s mobile dental unit on Friday morning was Deputy Mayor Judene Edgar.

Judene says that breaking down barriers to provide accessible dental care is important as it remains a widespread unmet

need in our community.

“For so many people cost, lack of a vehicle, time or a myriad of other reasons can inhibit their ability to access dental care, but now it’s going to be within their reach.

“Passionate and caring people making a difference is the backbone of our community and represents everything that is good about Nelson.”

Paula acknowledged the support she’d received from Nelson Marlborough Health and Te Piki Oranga and says that she’s looking forward to supporting their vulnerable clients.

“A healthy smile brings confidence, better mental health, better overall health and more opportunities, whether it be personally or in your work life,” she says.

“I love to give a smile to as many people as I can; it brightens their day and mine.”

For more information about the Access Dental Community Mobile unit, contact Paula at 548-3971 or check out their FB page ‘Access Dental Mobile Community Trust’.

Lost projects: A performing arts centre for Nelson

The refurbishment of the Trafalgar Centre, the Theatre Royal and NCMA have been cited as a justification for not needing a dedicated performing arts centre. Photo: File.

Charles Anderson The summary from Nelson City Council’s draft annual plan in 2011 is frozen in time. “Nelson is one of the few New Zealand cities of its size without a large auditorium venue suitable for major performances and events.”

A decade on and not much has changed. But calls for a local performing arts centre began long before then.

It was 1996 when the Majestic Theatre burned down. It was a 1200-seat venue capable of hosting myriad large events. But it was also tired and in need of an upgrade. So when the theatre was destroyed it was seen as an opportunity to create something

new that would put the city on the arts and entertainment map.

A trust was set up to build something before the millennium.

It would be a 1420-seat auditorium with tiered seating, a smaller theatre for rehearsals, and a space for conferences capable of hosting 1000 people for sit-down dinners. It was estimated to cost $20 million. The year 2000 came and went. Still, there was no performing arts centre.

But the concept still swirled around the council table and, in 2004, councillors adopted Rutherford Park, alongside the Trafalgar Centre, as its preferred location. Then, four years later, council announced that it had instead bought a site next to the

Roei Siboni

One of my main motivations is my family, my amazing wife Nati and my three little boys. The most important thing for us is trust. I don't consider real estate to be work, I just love it! I'm meeting with people, building relationships, and I'm passionate about it. Don't hesitate to contact me anytime!

Rutherford Hotel for the centre.

It would be $28 million performing arts centre on a site next to the hotel, for which it planned to pay $4 million. The hotel company planned to build a conference centre next to it.

Then, that plan was then dropped after council voted it down due to a report that suggested it would not significantly increase the city’s conference capacity unless there were more hotel rooms in Nelson.

Then, in 2011, council sets aside $125,000 to investigate a separate theatre and convention centre at Rutherford Park. That was put at a cost of $58m. That facility would have 1200 seats with a stage, fly tower, a fit-out and acoustics worthy of the highest

spec shows on offer. A conference centre there would also have a 700-seat capacity.

But when it went out to public consultation 80 per cent of submitters were against it, mainly due to cost reasons.

Council decided not to proceed and instead chose to focus on improving the Trafalgar Centre, which shortly after this time required earthquake strengthening work.

The redevelopment of the Suter and the development of the National Centre of Musical Arts (NCMA) also happened at the same time.

Council’s group manager community services, Andrew White, asserts that now, with work done on the Trafalgar Centre,

Theatre Royal and NCMA, Nelson has options when it comes to performances and venue size.

“Over the years, Nelson has managed to attract plenty of events, which we have been able to host with creative use of our existing venues. Last year’s Bay Dreams is a good example as it used both Rutherford Park and the Trafalgar Centre to host a variety of different musical acts.”

Some major events indeed come to Nelson. But it is also true that many more simply bypass the city in favour of Blenheim which went through the painful process of building its own 700-seat performing arts centre.

Nelson, on the other hand, it seems, is destined to be frozen in time.

There were different levels of skill, from those who had obviously skated before to men who took a few steps and fell over, but everyone had smiles on their faces. Fouryear-old Maple Smith loved being pulled around on a sleigh.

The temperatures dropped to around -9 degrees earlier this month, but it was the consistent lows that strengthened the ice. A few skaters learned that it wasn’t as solid near the edges, falling through and getting wet to their knees. Photo: Jenny Nicholson.

Anna on a roll after big win Erin Bradnock

Brazilian jiu-jitsu athlete and coach Anna Wenham’s greatness has been rewarded with a $10,000 grant to help her teach young women gain confidence in themselves.

Kiwis were asked by the AM Show and Colgate to share inspiring stories of how they have been pushing themselves beyond their limits to achieve their individual greatness. Three recipients, including Anna, won $10,000 grants to support their quest for greatness.

The 30-year-old mother of two’s submission detailed her life-changing relationship with Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) and how she’s working with young women and girls to reap the benefits.

“I entered, not for the money, but to share my story and hopefully inspire others,” says

Anna.

Anna recalls how life felt before she found the sport, facing the personal challenges of moving to a new city on her own with a young child.

She was also open about her ongoing battle with depression and anxiety and how the sport helped her both mentally and physically at a turbulent time.

“By my first class I was hooked, I had finally found my passion,” she says.

Anna was roped into BJJ by her brother, who had also recently moved to Nelson, and was raving about the sport.

“It’s a male-dominated sport. For a time, I was the only dedicated female here practising in Nelson,” she says.

Five years on, the student has become the teacher and Anna now runs two BJJ classes at Balance Yoga and Jiu-Jitsu studio Vanguard St - one for

women and another for teenage girls.

Her young students agree that training with Anna is having a positive impact in, and outside of class, including 15-year-old student Rozene Jayasundara.

“I feel way more confident after these classes. It’s an escape from reality,” she says.

Zoë Breukel, 12, described learning self-defence and new moves as “addictive”.

Anna hopes to put the prize money towards teaching as well as upskilling, training, competition and travel.

She also hopes to host an ‘open mat’ for all female BJJ athletes in the region to share their knowledge and experiences with one another.

“I want to give women the chance to come into a relaxed and positive environment. I get a lot of joy from seeing the girls have fun together,” says Anna.

They have all really loved it and there has been a big focus on teamwork.” Their STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Maths) skills were put to the test last Thursday at the Broads Fields in a rocket challenge showcase, with some of the creations travelling over 150m and hitting speeds of more than 200kmh.

Opinion

Your Voice Rutherford Park Playground: What a shame this has been put on the back burner and any sort of permanent inner-city playground is going to be so slow to eventuate. I want to take my grandchildren to it now (they’re 2, 6 and 8).

By the time it finally happens only the youngest one will be interested in going to the playground with grandma. There are wonderful playgrounds all over NZ that NCC could copy. It’s not rocket science to build a playground on a flat expanse of land and will hardly even require an architect. Marianne Palmer

to try everything. I hope this is a forever thing in all schools, eventually. Renea Lawrence Excellent work, team.

Lesley Barker

Nelson’s lost projects: Rutherford Park playground: I can’t believe that Nelson does not have a splash park. Our climate is ideal. Tahunanui would also be a fantastic location. The one on the Kapiti Coast would be a great model.

We desperately need places for families and children to gather.

Serving up free school lunches in Nelson: Love this, and love the fact no child will go without kai. Emz Haruru

This series is brilliant and so devastating at the same time - so many incredible projects lost to caution? Conservatism? Short-termism? We really need to be taking a common good, intergenerational benefit approach to how we're leading our city. Rachel Sanson

The team at Auckland Point School do an amazing job with the yummy lunches, all teachers and the principal are involved giving out condiments and extras, encouraging the kids

This series is so important. Here’s hoping that we can move forward quickly with all the brilliant plans on the go at the moment.

Opinion editorial@nelsonweekly.co.nz facebook.com/nelsonweekly www.nelsonweekly.co.nz Hopefully we can see progress on such projects. But there's always an element (I'm not one) that dislikes to see city monies spent on projects that will be beneficial to future generations in particular.

There's way more to cities than roads and footpaths, important though those things are. Cities need to be constantly investing in their futures. What do we want out city to look like 10, 25, even 50 years into the future? The time to start planning and expending for that is actually now.

Dennis Goodman Nelson is lacking big time for the kids. If you do ever decide to listen to the community, could you please make sure it's something that has a decent fenced area? Thanks, from the majority of the mums who have more than one child and can’t have eyes everywhere, or the mums who have kids who are runners and just want to have somewhere they can go and not be chasing them away from roads all the time. Hope Baker This is so wanted by our community and for years

when we asked if we could get destination/adventure playground we'd get pointed to this project. Then quietly the decision was made to scrap it.

Natalie Gousmett I had such high hopes for this one. Something Margaret Mahy (Christchurch) inspired. Victoria Thomas Ashcroft Calls for increased bus safety: In the UK, all school buses I used when working there had seatbelts for school trips. I personally don’t understand why we haven’t already made this mandatory. Abbe West Good idea, but who is going to pay for them to be put in? Bad enough buying one for a car let alone 50 for a bus.

Phil Swafford House buses have to have them for their passengers – what’s the difference? Yes, they definitely should!

Jude Gray If its mandatory for campervans to have as many seatbelts as sleeping berths,

I can't see why public and private buses should not have as many seatbelts to passengers they can carry. Merrick Allan

Briggs bows out with threepeat: Kahurangi played a phenomenal game.

Claire Te Hira

Congratulations Marist, well done - Gavin Briggs must be very proud of his son and the whole team. Donald Fraei Councillor pushed protester to attend Zoom meeting: Nelson city councillor Tim Skinner pushed a protester in March to get into Civic House where he wanted to attend a Zoom meeting, despite being told by both Mayor Rachel Reese and council staff to stay away because the building was blocked. An article last week outlining a meeting and independent investigation which found Tim had “seriously” breached the council’s code of conduct said that the meeting had been adjourned. The error is regretted.

Win for veggie butcher

Erin Bradnock

Maria Rollin couldn’t believe it when she heard her breakfast sausage was the supreme winner in this year’s national Vegan Sausage Awards.

“I was so surprised when I got the email. I emailed right back to ask if they were sure.”

Vegan Society New Zealand confirmed to Maria, otherwise known as the Vegetarian Butcher, that her breakfast sausage would now be recognised as New Zealand’s top plant-based sausage.

Maria’s one-man operation beat out a flood of competitors. including big brand producers like Bean Supreme, Coupland’s and Frys, for the top prize.

Maria says this is her fourth winter in the alternative meat business and her third year entering the Vegan Sausage Awards.

The judges say Maria’s supreme

creation was a “very authentic sausage” with great texture, appearance, and flavour.

The winning sausage being a less spicy version of her faux chorizo recipe, a flavourful plant-based mixture made up of cannellini beans, wheat gluten and sundried tomatoes.

Maria also won the best chorizo, best breakfast sausage categories as well as best runner-up specialty sausage for a popular spicy Italian sausage.

Maria says, over the past four years in the business she’s seen the market for plant-based alternatives become more popular.

“The world is becoming more and more open to it. I think, particularly with Covid, people have realised we’re in an environmental crisis,” she says.

Maria hopes business will continue to climb so the Vegetarian Butcher can afford to employ another set of hands in the Hardy St kitchen.

Skifield over the rainbow for opening Jo Kent

Mia losing locks is personal When Mia Fraser first considered shaving her head to raise money for charity, she had no idea that a few weeks later the cancer journey would touch her family.

Mia’s 27-year-old sister Alysha was diagnosed with breast cancer, which cemented Mia’s decision to join others at Garin College in the Shave for a Cure challenge.

Save for a Cure raises money for Leukemia and Blood Cancer New Zealand which supports patients and their families living with a blood cancer

or a related blood condition.

“It wasn’t a huge decision for Mia,” says her mum Georgie. “All the sisters are very close.”

Mia was one of five Garin College students and two teachers who had their heads shaved, and together they have raised well over $7,500 for Shave for a Cure.

Maddie Hall always had long hair and, because it was over 35cm in length, was able to donate her hair to go toward making a wig. She says multiple people’s hair goes into making up one wig.

“I’ve always wanted to shave my head.

I’m not worried about having my head shaved but wonder about the in between

bit,” she says. “Also, cancer is pretty horrible and if I can help people, that would be great.”

Ethan Speers was thinking of his mum’s mum and dad’s dad who both passed away due to cancer. He was joined by his father, teacher Tom Speers, who says he had his head shaved to support Ethan.

Barber Kyle Crittenden, from Stormy's Man Cave Barbershop, says he feels honoured to be part of Shave for a Cure.

“I think it is such a pivotal moment in girls’ lives when they choose to shave their head,” he says. “So much of their identity is in their hair. It’s extremely inspirational to see them do this.

The region's long-awaited ski season has officially begun with Rainbow Ski Field’s opening weekend.

“Everything went really well at the opening,” says Sarah Jacobs, customer service team leader.

“We are stoked to be open and on our planned opening day.”

The crew put in a great effort to make sure the ski field was up and running in time for their 40th ski season. The snow was in excellent shape after a cold week. It was about –7c in the morning and then 1c in the afternoon.

“We had great weather and lots of happy people for the first weekend,” says Sarah. “We even managed to get Tower 8 on the T bar open.”

With music from a More FM DJ booth, visitors could enjoy tunes while they rode the slopes.

“They put on a free sausage sizzle for everyone too, which was fantastic and much appreciated,” she says.

The café was also open and serving food and coffee to the crowds. Discounted tickets and lessons are being offered for a limited time to celebrate their anniversary season.

A fresh coat of paint for Tipahi Street

TŌ TĀTOU WHAKATŪ

As part of Phase 2 of the Innovative Streets for People project, Nelson City Council is trialling speed humps and road artwork on Tipahi Street to encourage motorists to move at a slower and safer pace.

Issue 125 • 14 July 2021

A recent community co-design evening held in March at Nelson Intermediate revealed that residents wanted the project to provide a better sense of ‘place’ – to enhance the streetscape by contributing to liveability and vibrancy—alongside making the area safer for people.

Data from Phase 1 of the project have revealed speed humps to be an effective speed-calming measure, and road art is a fun and creative sanctioned tactic recognised as a way to reinforce a slow-speed environment.

Te Wheke o Muturangi storyboard unveiled

Shine Nelson shine

Nelson City Council celebrated the new children’s storyboard and interpretation panel about the legend of Te Wheke o Muturangi – The Giant Octopus of Muturangi on Friday 9 July at Māra Wheke Octopus Garden playground, situated next to the Ngā Whatu sportsfield in Stoke.

Pedestrianisation of Upper Trafalgar Street occurred in 2019, and since then data from the Public Life Survey has shown a 1200% increase in people movement in the space since the change.

Deputy Mayor Judene Edgar was on site to switch on the lights on Thursday evening.

“Upper Trafalgar Street has always been Nelson’s heart,” she said. “Piki mai, the Cathedral, Cawthron Steps these are iconic places where we walk, step, sit, protest and celebrate. We hope the new lighting, installed just in time for Te Ramaroa – Light Nelson, will create a year-round destination that is welcoming to everyone even on a cold winter night.

Deputy Mayor Edgar also spoke about Nelson City Council’s upcoming plans for the City Centre.

Location: Bridge Street - Trafalgar Street –

Collingwood Street, Hardy Street- Church Street – Collingwood Street, including Hope Street and Morrison Street Intersections.

“When it comes to enhancing our City Centre, we are just getting started. Council will soon release Te Ara ō Whakatū – the Nelson City Centre Spatial Plan, this will outline more potential strategies for a vibrant city centre in Nelson Whakatu. Te Ara ō Whakatū will be out for public consultation in September.”

The Upper Trafalgar place lighting involved the installation of seven ‘multi-function light poles’, which can hold clusters of LED lights to achieve safe pedestrian light levels as well as bathe the area in a range of different colours.

Six of the poles support an overhead series of cables with white catenary LED lights as well as banner arms. The pole in 1903 Square contains a powerpoint and could hold a projector. All are future-proofed for audio.

Unwinding a reliance on pallet wrap The Chia Sisters are among those who have received a grant from Council’s Rethink Waste grants trial. Chloe van Dyke, one half of the Chia Sisters, tells us how they put it to use, replacing plastic pallet wraps with reusable pallet covers for all in-warehouse movements.

Pallets of goods are a factory staple – an efficient and effective way to move large amounts of goods safely and economically for both transport and storage.

But, with any load, it’s got to be secure. For the Chia Sisters, this meant wrapping each pallet load of cartons with about 30 metres of single-use plastic wrap.

“I’m always looking at the business and where we can reduce our footprint, and plastic pallet wrap popped out as an area to improve,” Chloe says.

She looked into alternatives and settled on reusable covers made by NZ Safety Blackwoods as the easiest, most sustainable option for the business and their team.

“Before we had someone who would do it manually – going around and around with 30m of plastic. Other people have automatic machines, but we were doing it by hand. Now it’s just a net that goes over the top, and you pull a drawstring.

“It was something that already existed; you just need to think about it in order to make it happen.”

The nets cost about $70 per cover, and there is a

Upper Trafalgar Street just became a more sparkly, people-friendly place, as the new catenary lights were switched on just in time for Te Ramaroa – Light Nelson.

The ceremonial event was led by Te Ahu Rei, Pou Ahurea - Cultural Manager of Ngāti Tama and representatives from Council.

The gathering also included a blessing, speeches and concluded with a kapa haka performance from the Nayland College kapa haka group, Pūaha Te Tai and light refreshments.

Local schools Stoke School, Broadgreen Intermediate and Te Kōhanga Reo o Kia Tau Te Rangimārie also attended.

discounted collective rate for those who are part of the Businesses for Climate Action group. This is where Council’s Waste Minimisation Grant funding was put to use for the Chia Sisters.

“Something like this makes financial sense in the long term because we’re not going to need to buy extra pallet wrap for internal movements, but often businesses like us don’t have that extra money up their sleeves to invest. The Rethink Waste grant helped us make that investment that will help us in the long term.”

The covers are used for all their internal warehouse product movements, and Chloe estimates the change will save about four cubic metres of single-use plastic this year.

Next on the agenda is to look at an alternative solution for pallet transport throughout New Zealand, which still requires plastic wrap.

“The way we do business has got to change. Singleuse just has to go,” she says.

Jim Fishwick is no stranger to making things up on the stop so creating an entire show out of an audience's daily experience comes naturally.

“One of the exciting things about this show for me is that I never know what's going to happen each night,” he says. “It entirely depends on what the audience has done that day.”

That show is ‘Museum of This Morning’ which Jim is bringing to Nelson next weekend. And it is a long time coming.

"I was actually going to be performing this show in the Nelson Fringe Festival last year, but ultimately wasn't able to because of, y'know, 2020,” Jim says. I couldn't be happier to be getting a second chance to make it happen."

Jim will collate the audience’s real-life experiences of the things they did that day into a lightning-fast, one-time-only museum exhibition.

“I’m endlessly fascinated by the small details of people’s lives,” Jim says. “And I’m excited to

Jim’s experience with improvisation goes back to when he was 11-years-old when he attended a Theatresports show and instantly fell in love with the art form. By the time he was 17, Jim was performing in bars, honing his skills in spontaneous comedy.

He taught and directed an improv programme at the University of Sydney and won the Australian National

Improvisation Championship in 2017.

After a year spent living apart, he and his Kiwi wife are thankful to be reunited in New Zealand.

“Not to be egregiously flattering, but a lot of the Nelson people I've met have all been very cool and interesting,” Jim says. “It's a very arty city with a lot going on, and I'm particularly keen to find out what Nelsonians have been up to.”

The Museum of This Morning is on at the Suter Theatre on Saturday 24 July and Sunday 25 July at 7pm. Tickets through Eventfinda.

‘Whole new world’ for youth theatre Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

With a cast of more than 80 and an impressive array of magic tricks, Aladdin Jr promises to be one of Nelson Youth Theatre Company’s most ambitious shows.

The stage version of the popular 1992 Disney movie is coming to the Theatre Royal these school holidays with performers ranging in age from five years old to 18.

“It’s one the hardest shows we’ve ever staged, it has really challenged our creativity,” says director Richard Carruthers.

He says his family was inspired by the West End version and it will have “all the same magic tricks” as the movie.

With pyros, UV lighting, and all the well-known songs to boot, Richard says it will be a feast for the senses.

The story follows the down on his luck Aladdin who discovers a magic lamp and a Genie who has the power to grant three wishes.

Wanting to earn the respect of Princess Jasmine, Aladdin

“People who come to Aladdin are in for a fantastic show,” says Richard.

The company is also performing the much-loved musical Cats for three shows only during the holidays.

With a cast of 30, Richard says it is a “totally different style and genre” from Aladdin, but a “magical show in a different way”.

Based on the popular poetry of T.S. Eliot, Cats tells the story, in song and dance, of

the annual gathering of Jellicle cats, at which time one special cat is selected to ascend to the Heaviside layer.

“With the beauty of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s music, we have some very strong lead characters and some very cute kittens, too,” says Richard.

Cats runs from Wednesday, July 14 until Friday, July 16, while Aladdin Jr is on from Monday, July 19 until Saturday, July 24. Tickets are available online at nz.patronbase. com/_TheatreRoyalNelson/ Productions or from the Theatre Royal box office.

Ingham brings up his century Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

An eight-year-old Tom Ingham was playing mini-ball at Henley School when he won a ‘Giant effort award,’ which included tickets to the Nelson Giants’ next home game.

At the time, Tom dreamed of playing for the Black Caps, but this soon changed as he was introduced to basketball.

“The folks took me along and I loved the pace, intensity and just fell in love with the sport.”

Twenty years later, Tom would bring up a first-class century, however it was not with the bat but in a Giants’ singlet.

Tom made his 100th appearance for his beloved franchise during their 119-85 win over the Franklin Bulls in Nelson on Thursday evening.

Nelson Giant Tom Ingham was presented with his 100 appearances certificate by his idol Phill Jones. Photo: Shuttersport.

“As a kid in the stands watching the Giants for all those years, and then to celebrate 100 games with my own family and friends in the stands, was pretty special.”

Born and bred in Nelson, Tom grew up idolising the likes of Phill Jones and Ed Book.

He still recalls his first NBL point

which came on his first road trip on his 18th birthday.

“Phill took me under his wing for better or worse,” he jokes.

The 2018 run to the finals is another fond memory for the point guard.

“We tripped up at final hurdle, but we dominated the entire

which he attributes to the energy and passion he plays with. He is also well-known off the court through his work as a teacher at Nelson Intermediate.

He says, while it can be a juggling act, he loves both his careers.

“From day dot, Nelson Intermediate have looked after me and have given me every opportunity to progress as a basketballer, but in the teaching profession as well.”

After 100 games, Tom is hopeful to play 100 more and of breaking a 14year championship drought.

“If I can end my career as an NBL champion I will walk away very satisfied.”

One thing is for sure, he will never play for another franchise.

“I’m a Giants’ lifer.”

It appears it was less important to be dressed practically than to be attractively arrayed no matter what!

season and it was a really good group of lads.”

Tom was first selected in the Giants as a 16-year-old in 2010.

“When my name got called it was pretty epic. I sprinted home - I couldn’t wait to tell mum and dad.”

During his debut, an exuberant Tom rushed out onto the court during the pre-game introductions.

“I was so excited I ran about 30 metres ahead, the old fellas told me to slow down, so I had to go to a walk so they could catch up.”

The teenager was a barrel of nerves as he was called off the bench. He says he quickly learned a number of lessons, including the fact that nothing is given.

A little over five years ago, Andrew Knewstubb was picking apples in Tasman and living at the Riwaka Tavern.

The electric outside back was plugging away in club rugby for Kahurangi with his future looking likely to be in landscaping.

However, this blueprint was thrown out the window when Andrew switched his focus to the seven-a-side game.

He enjoyed a rapid rise in the ranks and at just 21, he went from a tradesman in training to travelling the world with the All Black sevens team.

Now, ‘Stubby’, as he is known, is set for his biggest stage yet as he makes his Olympic debut in Tokyo this month.

“My parents always told me that going to the Olympics would be one of the biggest accomplishments you can ever achieve and was something I never thought I’d be able to reach until getting picked for the team five years ago.”

The day Andrew learned of his selection was one of the most emotional of his life.

“Knowing how hard everyone has worked and knowing some

He says the goal was always lingering in the back of his mind.

“When I made the sevens team it had just come off the last Olympics so, from then, it was always about building to the next one.”

Tokyo will be one of the most unique Olympic Games in history with no crowds permitted due to Covid-19 restrictions.

“It’s going to be different, but the occasion is big enough to get up for.”

Andrew attended the 2018 Commonwealth Games and is looking forward to experiencing the village again, which he says was “unreal”.

“I’m sure it’ll be a bit different with Covid and stuff but hopefully a similar feel also looking forward to meeting the other New Zealand athletes if we get the chance.”

Of course, an Olympics brings global sporting superstars, some of whom Andrew is hoping to rub shoulders with.

“I’m a big basketball fan so meeting some of them would be awesome. But they’re all amazing athletes so it will be cool to talk some rubbish with them.”

He says the All Blacks have every chance of bringing home a gold medal.

“We are well aware that there are 12 other teams with the same goal and are capable of winning it as well, but we know we’re up for it.”

Local racers square up for Enduro SPORTS Philip Hagan It’s relentless. The NZ Enduro Champs does not let up. It keeps coming at the drivers for 700km of rough roads and bush tracks.

The Enduro doesn’t care that the drivers are wet, cold, wind-blown and covered in mud. It keeps on coming.

For the 30 race cars and 50 drivers, this weekend’s race will take a toll. Organisers are expecting an attrition rate of more than 50 percent, meaning fewer than 15 finishers are expected.

Many of the race cars will fall by the way in unspectacular style.

But for some, it will be a spectacular demise as race cars collide with the scenery.

Flat tires will be common. Some racers will opt to race on a blown tire, trying to limp the car back to the pits.

With the 35km lap length, this usually results in the rubber completely disintegrating and the aluminium rim becoming shrapnel wrapped tightly around the hub.

In many cases it will be the driver who let go before anything on the car fails. Seven hundred kilometres in the Golden Downs Forest is like driving from Nelson to Invercargill on a gravel road that drives through the rivers,

Nelson racer #110 Alex Bright in action in Golden Downs Forest earlier this year. Photo: Morgan Dumelow DIRTPIX. rather than over them.

In this chaos, experience counts.

Many of the racers in the Enduro Champs are seasoned distance racing competitors.

Local racers Dan Fisher and Alex Bright are sharing the drive of #110 and feel their knowledge of the forest is a huge advantage. At 25mins per lap this race is great for spectators to view the cars regularly at the viewing point by the pits.

The racers will need every advantage they can get with ORANZ champions Joel Giddy and Carl Ruiterman teaming up to race #S16, a fully-developed Yamaha side-by-side racer that could very well be on the podium

on Sunday.

Another strong duo competing are father and son Leigh and Matthew Bishop. At 14-yearsold, Matthew will be the co-pilot for his dad Leigh. This is quite an endorsement of the skillset Matthew has been developing over the last six years.

Doing the full race distance solo are also some of the hardest racers in the country.

Todd Graham from Hawkes Bay brings his single seater across the strait for the second time this year.

Paul Smith is determined to add the Enduro Champs overall trophy to the cabinet alongside his 2019 Woodhill 100 winner

trophy. And just wait till you see Maurice Bain from the Waikato club, in his V6-powered “New Beetle”, Baja Bug. This huge race distance has brought a large contingent of racers to Nelson from all parts of the North Island. But they won’t get an easy run from the Southern contingent. The cold, wet conditions are expected to work in the favour of the more local racers. Let’s hope the northerners can acclimatise on the journey to Nelson by leaving the tow vehicles’ windows down as they head south.

The southern charge at this race is stacked full of offroad racers who have tasted glory in national competition. Bub Uttridge takes on the full race distance in his turbocharged 1000cc Yamaha.

Darrin Thomason lines up in the V6 powered Toyota Tundra race truck and legendary offroad racer Barry Phillips lines up with co-driver Jake Phillips in a 1000cc turbo-charged Yamaha side-by-side.

The scene is set for a legendary contest.

To watch the Enduro NZ on July 17 and 18, follow the signs into the forest from Wakefield. There is no charge for admission to the event. Coffee and food caterer in the pits. Bring a picnic.

Rugby: The Tasman Mako women had its first hit out of the year on Saturday as the took on Ngāti Porou East Coast at Jubilee Park in a preseason friendly. The Mako were far too strong for the visitors, running out 81-0 victors. On Sunday, the High-Performance men’s side took on the New Zealand Under 20’s captained by Nelson’s Anton Segner. The Baby Blacks claimed the win at Lansdowne Park 40-5.

Football: A total of 25 goals were scored across the four matches on Saturday with both Rangers and FC Nelson netting six. Motueka and Tahuna also played out a high scorer with the men form Golden Bay prevailing 5-3. In women’s division one action, Suburbs sneaked past FC Nelson 1-0 while the Richmond Foxes maintain its spot at the top of the table with a 3-1 win over the Blenheim Bullets.

Netball: Another epic showdown between the region’s two best sides closed out the second phase of the Nelson Premier Netball Competition on Thursday evening.

Once again it was just a solitary point that separated Jacks OPD and Prices Waimea Ahurei as the sides went to war at Saxton Stadium. Jacks exacted its revenge with a 42-41 win and ended Prices’ eight-match unbeaten streak.

Four months from beginner College comes from behind to claim Quad to kickboxing champion Jonty Dine Sarah Randall is more of a lover than a fighter so punching someone in the face does not come naturally to her.

The 39-year-old recently took up kickboxing and says she initially did not feel confident throwing strikes at an opponent.

“I’m more the passive person, an introvert.”

However, under the tutelage of former world champion Sallie McArdle, Sarah now holds a national title just four months after taking up the sport.

Sarah defeated a black belt, 20 years her junior, to become the New Zealand senior welterweight light contact champion.

It was a sleepless night for Sarah before her debut fight.

“It was the anticipation and the unknown.”

Once she got on the mat though, her nerves dissipated. She would go on to dominate and win all three rounds.

Despite the one-sided fight, Sarah still needed confirmation of her win after the bell.

“I had no idea, but Sallie told me I had done enough.”

She says to go from beginner to

Sarah Randall is a national champion just four months into her kickboxing career.

New Zealand champion in just four months is “nuts”.

The mother of two say her daughters celebrated by making her a congratulatory cake.

Her journey began through volunteering at the Parkinson’s class run by Paul Hampton at Victory Boxing.

After Sallie opened her kickboxing school in the same gym, Sarah was quick to sign up.

“I had been volunteering for a couple of years and was looking for a martial art when this came up.”

Prior to this, the extent of her athletic endeavors amounted to just a handful of boxfit classes.

It wasn’t long before Sarah was thrown into the deep end and entered last month’s nationals.

“Sallie chucked me in there, she said it would be a bit of fun.”

Though skeptical she was up to the task, Sarah dedicated herself to the training.

“I went hard out for the last three months, training five days a week.”

The change in lifestyle has also seen a shift in her physical and mental well-being.

“I have lost 5kg and noticed I’m way fitter. I used to hate running but now I’m out with the dog every morning.”

Sarah says it was a challenge getting used to having someone in her space and hitting her in the head.

“It’s a whole new world but I’m enjoying learning new things.

Instead of sitting on the couch watching telly I’m going to the gym and getting fit.”

Though she enjoyed a week off training, “especially when you’re sparring 100kg dudes,” Sarah is already looking towards another fight in December with the ultimate goal of going to the World Championships in 2023.

Jonty Dine With time up on the clock and a rapturous home crowd baying for an error, Nelson College kept its cool to snatch a late victory against Christ’s College last week.

Looking dead and buried at 20-3 at halftime, Nelson College staged a stunning comeback to win its third consecutive Quadrangular tournament.

Dylan Irvine’s injury time try sealed the 27-25 victory in thrilling fashion.

It was all Christ’s early on as Jan Steenkamp rumbled over for the match's opener followed by a penalty for an 8-0 advantage.

That soon became 13 as Christ’s winger Jack Belcher, denied moments earlier, went over in the corner.

Nelson finally opened its account after twenty minutes through the boot of Reegan Lawton.

However, Christ’s were killing Nelson down the left edge, Belcher streaking away for his second to give the hosts a 20-3 halftime lead.

FREE MASK MAKING

Whatever was said in the huddle worked wonders for Nelson who came out firing after the break.

It took just three minutes for Nelson to strike, Netani Baleisomosomo scoring to pull Nelson right back in the contest.

Luc Waterman-Thomas made it two in two for Nelson as he finished off a superb sweeping movement from inside their own half.

Netani’s second try levelled the scores at 20 apiece but Lawton hit the uprights in his attempt to claim the lead.

Christ’s hit back almost immediately on the back of a surging maul as the hosts looked to control possession and close out the game.

Nelson had other ideas though and a turnover eventually put them deep inside Christ’s territory, an opportunity Irvine grabbed with both hands.

Cooper Grant nonchalantly slotted the extras to close out a famous win.

The side will enjoy a break for the school holidays before resuming against St Thomas in Christchurch on July 24.

10 week term

The Clifton Terrace School Board of Trustees invites applications from parents who wish to enrol their sons and daughters for 2021/22 who live outside the enrolment zone.

Enrolment at the school is governed by an enrolment scheme, details of which are available on the school website www.cliftontce.school.nz.

Families who wish to apply should do so in writing addressed to Rob Wemyss stating the child’s full name, date of birth and current address.

The deadline for receipt of applications for out-of-zone places is Fri 30 July.

Parents of students who live within the home zone should also apply by this date to assist the school to plan appropriately for next year.

The board has determined that 10 places are likely to be available for out-of- zone students for the next year.

Preference will be given to those in the Year 1- 3 age group (those born 2013 - 2017). The exact number of places will depend on the number of applications received from students who live within the school’s home zone. Please note that other age groups will be considered as well.

If the number of out-of-zone applications exceeds the number of places available, students will be selected by ballot. If a ballot is required it will be held on Fri 6 August 2021.

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