Cheeky dip Chantelle Galvin and Dylan Woller were part of a handful of brave Nelsonians who got their kits off for a cheeky dip at Tahunanui on Saturday. With a Bay Dreams double pass up for grabs, the clothes came off. Dylan says he took part due to the price tag of a Bay Dreams ticket. “It’s not something I do every day, but I’ll get naked for $200.” However, it was 54-year-old Russell Turner who came away the winner. “I’m a nudist anyway, so it’s the perfect chance to have a go,” he said.

A Nelson doctor sentenced to home detention after covertly filming his female colleagues has won his bid to stay in the profession. Samuel John Simpson Wilson was last year convicted in the Nelson District Court on eight charges of making an intimate visual recording between June 2012 and April 2015. He was sentenced to seven months’ home detention. Wilson used a USB stick disguised as a door opener and attached to his car keys to record two women who changed in his bathroom at home, and a further 10 female colleagues from Nelson Hospital. The 45-year-old cardiologist put the USBs in two different positions in the toilet area to record from different angles. Visitors to Wilson’s family home were filmed entering the bathroom and using the toilet, including showing removal of clothing. One charge referred to his holding and manipulating the camera while seated next to, and talking, to a female colleague so that he could film her exposed legs and up her skirt. In a Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal hearing, Wilson made no submissions and called no evidence in response and he accepted his convictions and conduct would likely bring discredit to the medical profession. However, he did fight successfully to keep his medical registration and instead of cancellation, he was suspended for one year from the date of the hearing, on May 2019. It was submitted for Wilson that a significant

The tribunal concluded that “this is not a case where such cancellation is necessary for protection of the public or maintenance of standards”. It said Wilson had lost suppression and had his name printed many times so the public could make up their own minds as to whether to seek his medical help. “The tribunal is of the view that cancellation of registration would be disproportionate and would result in a loss to the community of a medical practitioner who is well trained and has no clinical issues.” The tribunal instead found that what was needed was for health supervision to “treat Dr Wilson’s behaviour and so prevent any repeat”. “This can best be achieved by first an order for further suspension.” – NZ Herald

Walking, cycling and bus use increases across Nelson Staff Reporter More people are using alternative means of transport in the region including buses, cycling and walking. The Nelson City Council’s Annual Monitoring Report was delivered to a Regional Transport Committee meeting today which highlighted several positive outcomes from the past year. Nelson’s NBus service has seen an increase in patronage over the last year with bus use between Nelson and Richmond at an all time high. Almost 418,000 trips were taken on the NBus service in the 12 months from July 1 2108 to June 30 2019, which
represents a 5.1 per cent increase compared with the previous year. Just under 355,000 of these trips were between Nelson and Richmond with a further 5767 taking advantage of Stoke routes including the recently introduced Stoke Loop. Council says the new, streamlined Stoke loop service is proving to be a fit-for-purpose addition to Nelson’s public transport network and making a strong contribution to this improved result. An increase in walking and cycling on Rocks and Waimea Rd as well as the Railway Reserve was also observed, with the number of people choosing to walk
ginning
or cycle each day rising from 868 in 2014 to 1216 in 2018. Not all reporting was positive though with most commuters choosing to travel alone in their vehicles. Surveying on Rocks Rd and Waimea Rd during peak times show an average of 79 per cent of vehicles only had 1 occupant. The number of crashes on our road network has also increased which reflects a national trend. Travel times on key arterial routes are increasing and often sit outside council’s target levels of service, with “unacceptable numbers” ‘rat-running’ through residential streets as frustrated motorists look to avoid clogged arterial routes.

Nelson unaffordability grows Sara Hollyman Reporter
sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Tasman and Nelson are among the most unaffordable places to buy a home in New Zealand, despite national affordability improving. Massey University has released its quarterly Home Affordability Report which shows that Tasman is the second least affordable region behind Auckland, with Nelson coming in third. Massey’s Home Affordability Index takes into account mortgage interest rates, house prices and wage levels. Nelson and Tasman were two of just three regions in the country to see affordability decline during the last quarter to June. Rachel Boyack, who stood
“This will greatly help firsthome buyers to have access to the housing market.” However, according the the Massey report, Nelson also saw the largest drop in income of all 16 regions during the three months from April to June 2019. Income dropped by 6.5 per cent in Nelson, despite a national increase of 3.2 per cent. The report says that the main reason behind the improvement of national affordability over the quarter has been the decrease in median house prices across many regions, combined with increase in incomes and decreases in interest rates. REINZ puts Nelson’s median house price at $531,500 for June, with Tasman’s sitting at $635,000.
for Labour in the last general election, says the Nelson Tasman region has become steadily more unaffordable over the past decade, and it is going to take the Government some time to turn this around and make housing affordable for working families and firsthome buyers again. “This is a long-term problem and will require time and energy to fix. I won’t be hiding from the challenge we face to lift home ownership and housing affordability in our region. I will continue to advocate for affordable housing in the Nelson region.” She referenced the recent announcement that first-home buyers will only need a 5% deposit as part of a Welcome Home Loan, effective from October this year.

It’s the 65th year planting at the forest has happened, with the third generation of children taking part in the programme. The Coronation Forest was the idea of Arnold Cork who worked for the Nelson Education Board in the early 1950s and first helped plant seeds for the project in 1953. Sixty-five years on, local students Amy Dunn, Alexia Cosmatos, and Sophie Field (pictured) were all part of the programme last week. Photo: Tim Cuff.

Atawhai speed reduction expected Staff Reporter State Highway 6 between Atawhai and Nelson is expected to become an 80 kmh speed zone “around about Christmas”. NZTA has been looking at ways to improve safety on the entire state highway between Blenheim and Nelson since 2017. NZTA regional relationships South Island director Jim Harland attended Nelson City Council’s regional transport committee meeting on Wednesday and told councillors they would be “pleased to know” of the progress that’s been made. “Our objective is to have the new speed limits in place around about Christmas so that for the summer season people will be operating on more appropriate speed guidance from the formal system and enforcement from the police,” says

Jim. “The proposal, as I understand it , will include 80kmh from Atawhai to Nelson, which is something we’ve sought for a period of time, so that’s a good result.” As part of the investigation into making the route safer, NZTA asked for public feedback and ideas which Jim says will make the implementation of the new speed limits a quicker process. There will be an initial consultation with interested parties including council and police, with a formal consultation for public to follow. Between 2008 and 2017, 19 people died and 90 were seriously injured in crashes on SH6 between Blenheim and Nelson. Jim says the speed change in Atawhai will begin in “a logical place that makes sense” but couldn’t confirm exactly where.
NMIT’s ‘bite-sized’ qualifications to address critical skills shortages NMIT is partnering with industry on new bitesized qualifications aimed at addressing skills shortages in the workforce and empowering people to retrain quickly and cost-effectively. Micro-credentials are small, stand-alone qualifications that certify the achievement of specific skills or knowledge. “These short courses are designed to help learners acquire the skills they need, when they need them,” says NMIT Executive Director, Customer Experience and Excellence, Sue Smart A micro-credential can help people attain industry-specific skills to enter the workforce quickly. They can also help employers to retrain and upskill staff in response to changes in the workplace. Micro-credentials are much shorter courses than traditional programmes, typically running for just a few weeks. They can be created with flexible learning options to make them suitable to fit study around work or family commitments.
NMIT is looking to partner with businesses to develop micro-credentials to help address critical skills shortages. “Partnerships ensure that NMIT’s micro-credentials are focussed on what New Zealand workplaces need now and into the future,” says Mrs Smart. “Businesses can use micro-credentials to get current staff up-tospeed with changes in the industry, to anticipate technological developments in the future, and to quickly train new recruits for specific roles.” NMIT’s first microcredential is Introduction to Artificial Intelligence for Society and Business. It’s a 10-week programme where students learn the three main techniques used in AI today and how to apply them in a range of contexts.

Russian sailor nabbed after three-year chase Staff Reporter A wanted Russian sailor accused of smuggling cocaine into New Zealand for an international crime syndicate has been found on a container ship at Nelson’s docks after a three-year hunt. Several police officers were waiting for the Seatrade Red to arrive in Port Nelson two weekends ago. On board the incoming container ship was said to be their target, a Russian man named Aleksandr Cherushev. He had been wanted by the National Organised Crime Group for three years, after being accused of importing $1.2 million worth of cocaine into New Zealand on board a food vessel in 2016. After the ship arrived, police arrested Cherushev and searched his cabin on the Sunday, a source familiar with the police investigation told the Nelson Weekly. Cherushev was then charged with importing and supplying cocaine and made his first appearance in the Nelson District Court the following Monday. He will be transferred to Auckland for his second court hearing later this month. Police had been waiting to nab
Cherushev after he was linked to an international criminal group, with a mystery West African mastermind, which was allegedly importing drugs into the country, court documents show. The alleged conspiracy - which involved at least 10 people stretched from New Zealand to Germany, eastern Europe, Ecuador and Venezuela, according to police. The nearly two-year police investigation into the group, code-named Operation Moa, included phone taps and covert surveillance teams. It uncovered hundreds of thousands of dollars in dirty cash and somewhat of a treasure map to $130,000 buried at Auckland’s Bastion Pt. Cherushev’s role, police allege, began on board the food vessel Discovery Bay, in September 2016. The ship was travelling from South America and was due to dock in Auckland on the same day Polish father and son, Ryszard, 57, and Ralph Wilk, 30, flew into New Zealand, court documents read. Police accuse Cherushev of using the Discovery Bay’s voyage to collect kiwifruit as a cover to hide a cocaine haul. Court documents allege that when the Discovery Bay docked
Russian sailor Aleksandr Cherushev is accused of importing $1.2 million worth of cocaine into New Zealand in 2016. Photo: Supplied. the Wilks met with and allegedly paid the Russian sailor for about 4kg of cocaine - worth $1.2m on the street. A further meeting was allegedly held at a New World supermarket near Tauranga’s port to pay Cherushev more money for his courier services, court documents allege. Ryszard Wilk left New Zealand and was later arrested in the Venezuelan city of Maiquetía last year after Interpol issued a global wanted notice.
Kiwi authorities have been working with their Venezuelan counterparts to extradite him to New Zealand to face charges. Court documents show several allegations against him for drug importation, drug supply, money laundering and conspiracy. Political upheaval in the South American country, however, has slowed the process. Ralph Wilk stayed in New Zealand and was arrested in mid2017. He was due to go to trial in
September last year alongside local builder and the group’s “bag man” Bryan Williams, and Auckland IT engineer Mohammed Khan, who helped launder dirty money. All three, however, pleaded guilty on the eve of their trial. Ralph Wilk was sentenced to nine years and four months’ imprisonment on two representative charges for supplying a Class A drug and money laundering. Williams and Khan were both sentenced to home detention. Polish man Patryk Lukasik, who is accused of acting as a point of contact for the Wilks, also left New Zealand but was later arrested in Germany. His extradition was approved and the 42-year-old now faces trial in Auckland next year over money laundering and drug importation charges. A woman who worked at a money remittance company on Queen St, Qiannan (Christina) Tang, was also charged with money laundering. In June, a High Court jury found Tang guilty of one charge but acquitted her on a remaining eight counts. She was discharged without conviction. –NZ HERALD

Nelson’s hospitality shines at awards Charles Anderson Editor

Chris Williams admits that a burger bar might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Nelson’s best restaurant. But on Monday night the Burger Culture team proved that perception wrong, taking out the big award at the Ōra Salmon Nelson Hospitality Awards. “We were just happy to be in the category, let alone win it,” said owner Chris Williams. “It’s a real testament to the hard work of all the guys.” Burger Culture opened just over two years ago and since then has made a name for itself in developing innovative and tasty burgers, along with donuts and milkshakes. In winning the Restaurant of the Year it beat out competitors like fine dining stalwarts Hopgoods and Urban Oyster Bar & Eatery. “Burger or not, we think it’s a fantastic place to
come and eat – we can still provide something that can be a special night out for everybody. The beauty of Burger Culture is that it’s accessible.” The sell-out event at the Rutherford Hotel saw luminaries from Nelson’s hospitality scene gather to celebrate the best in the business.

He will be the Nelson-based seafood company’s first internally-promoted CEO, replacing outgoing CEO Steve Yung who will step down from the at the end of 2020 financial year. Doug will become chief operating officer from next month, before working closely with Steve over 12-months until he officially takes over the chief executive role. Sealord chairman Whaimutu Dewes thanked Steve for his “huge effort” in leading Sealord for the past five years. “Steve has done a superb job evolving Sealord into the organisation it is today with a strong performance culture, clear strategic focus in deep sea fishing and aquaculture, and consistent financial results. Steve remains focused on the continued success of Sealord and will work closely with Doug to ensure a successful transition whilst continuing business as usual.” Doug began his career with the Royal New Zealand Air Force, followed by a successful 11 years

Doug, of Ngati Porou and Ngati Raukawa descent, also spent two years as part of the Lion Nathan strategic team, where he led Lion’s entry to the grocery channel. Doug then spent five years as the CEO for Hubbard Foods before joining Sealord.

Council candidates stick to local government Kate Russell Reporter
kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Rumours that several Nelson City Council candidates are planning on jumping ship to central government next year have been quashed. Two current councillors who stood for the Green Party in the 2017 general election have confirmed they won’t be repeating their bids in 2020. Matt Lawrey who stood as the party’s Nelson candidate has confirmed he won’t be standing again next year, saying he feels he can make his strongest contribution to the community as a city councillor. “I’ve really come to realise that, more than ever, my heart is in Nelson and my brain is devoted to the place, too,” he says. He will remain a member of the Green Party. Kate Fulton has also confirmed she will not be standing for the Green Party again, after being the West Coast-Tasman candidate in 2017. “I supported the Green Party in the 2017 elections as a candidate to try to change the Government, which we successfully did. I never had any intention of stepping down from my role on council.” Mayor Rachel Reese has made it clear she only has her eyes on
retaining the mayoral chains, despite rumours she may have intentions on standing for the National Party after appearing on MP Nick Smith’s 2018 newsletter donning a blue jacket. “I do not belong to any political party. I am totally committed to local government and have made that very clear throughout my mayoralty, and nothing will change in the future,” she says. Councillor Mike Rutledge has also confirmed he has no intentions to stand for National in 2020 after working part-time for Nelson’s National MP as an employee of the Parliamentary Service. Councillor Brian McGurk, who is running as a Labour Party candidate for the council elections, has also said he is “strictly a local city council guy”. “To be very clear, I am not interested nor will I be seeking nomination for selection as a Labour candidate for next year’s general election.” Rachel says she hopes the next term of councillors will stay focused on the task at hand. “I’d like to think that we could get through the next term of council with every councillor focused on their role to serve the people of Nelson and not use the role to pursue or promote a political party agenda.”

If you are heading up Rainbow Ski Area before the close of the season you might be surprised to see something not usually permitted in a national park – a canine. But Rosko is no ordinary dog. The labrador, German shorthaired pointer cross is a specially-trained avalanche dog that is our best line of defence in case tragedy strikes. “A dog is unbelievably efficient at getting on an avalanche field, not disturbing it, and locating a victim,” says Rainbow Ski Area’s general manager James Lazor. “If there is an avalanche, time is of the essence.” But until Rosko arrived for the last part of the ski season, the closest avalanche dog was in Methven. “We call them, and we are looking at three hours before a dog gets here.” James says, with spring conditions heating up the snowpack and more skiers heading out into the backcountry, there is a big risk of avalanches. On top of that, James says Rainbow has some of the best snow coverage in the country right now.

So, the Rainbow team are working with LandSar, police and the Department of Conservation to help train for avalanche scenarios and James says having Rosko there has made all the difference. But Rosko wouldn’t be up the mountain if it wasn’t for his handler Cait Hall who has taken him through all the training needed to get him
certified. First, she had to find him, though. The hope is for Rainbow to get its own permanent dog – but at the end of the season Rosko will head back to Wanaka with Cait. James says he wants skiers to be more aware of avalanche risk when up Rainbow. Behind the rental shed there is a board that is updated daily with the snow conditions.

It is now looking forward to a Movie Night fundraiser at the Suter later this month and a quiz night at Speights Ale House in October.

SeniorNet displays digital skills with new calendar Kate Russell Members from SeniorNet Nelson’s digital imaging group have used their new skills to produce a 2020 picture calendar of Nelson, which they will be selling to raise funds for the organisation. The calendar offers a range of photos of the region, including Nelson Harbour, the Kite Festival and Isel House, and have all been taken by SeniorNet members. “We got the idea for the calendar from another SeniorNet group. Everyone sent in their best photos and we selected 12 of the best from those,” says member Helen Gowland. The calendar costs $10 and is available to order at www.seniornetnelson.org.nz.
Ladies Friendship Club’s celebrates 30 years
One of the oldest clubs in the region, the Ladies Friendship club, turned 30 this week. The chairman of Friendship New Zealand Incorporated, Graeme Pierson, flew up from Christchurch to present the group with a certificate. He took great pleasure in the celebration and congratulated the club “for their continuing support of the FNZI and for what it stands for, and for keeping the spirit of friendship, fellowship and fun alive”. To mark the 30-year anniversary, president Jeanette Sutherland presented seven life members with flowers. Originally a club for professional women, the Friendship Club is a place where ladies 50 years and over can join together for outings, such as film trips, lunches and to hear guest speakers. There are approximately 156 clubs nation-wide and the FNZI (Friendship New Zealand Incorporated) would appreciate any new members.

Poor council thinking: Shame on the council now supplying only unisex toilets – except for male urinals! What sort of protection and privacy does this give for little girls having to use these toilets on their own – or even their mothers and any other females? This is plain discriminatory against women. The council should correct this immediately. Morag Woode Mike Ward sculpture: When I mucked up the pre-entry process for my WOW entry earlier this year and missed the cut off date, I stopped work on wearable effort number 25 and decided to finish one of my loveliest sculptures, (for the first time since 2004 there won’t be a Mike Ward Finalist at WOW). The sculpture is a piece I had con-
structed by Reliance Engineering in 2010 for my Gilding the Lily exhibition at the Suter. Well, Dave at Sharlands Engineering is due to finish it. He has done a brilliant job of tweaking and welding it to a base and if someone comes up with the cost of painting and installation and if I can find an appropriate space for it, I am happy to gift it to the city... I would really like it in the CBD... where I can go have lunch with it occasionally. My campaign manager says it would look good in our new airport terminal, but I don’t fly very often, and I do like to enjoy my work. It is more than fifty years since I graduated as sculptor, but while I have lots of other creations around, I have no sculptures.

a stormwater and flood control reservoir – and that’s what it still is! Copper sulphate kept it clear, but this was not allowed to continue – which led to weeds. They form on the bottom then float to the surface to form wide mats. I kept it under reasonable control with a rake and a sort of rope harpoon for three years. One day, Nelmac saw me harpooning the weed mats and returned the next day with two men and a big 50 metre rope. With that rope and wearing gumboots, they were able to clear the floating weed mats out of the pond in a day. And what was the cost? I don’t think it cost anything! Anton Hyman Security at library after threats: This is entirely unacceptable, and inexcusable. Offenders should be banned from the vicinity of all libraries. I'm in Stoke, and from time to time have noticed some dubious characters hanging around the li-

Nelson Matters Labour last week abandoned its Kiwibuild promise of 100,000 affordable homes. The PM started 2019 saying it was the “Year of Delivery” but it has become Labour’s year of betrayal. The Kiwibuild promise was Labour’s flagship policy. It was repeated by Leader Jacinda Ardern and Housing spokesman Phil Twyford thousands of times. Our region was promised “at least 1,000” Kiwibuilds. The detailed policy specified that nationally 1,000 would be built in the first year, 5,000 in the second and 10,000 in the third, and 12,000 for the next seven years. I have never seen a policy fail so badly or so quickly. Only 126 homes have been built nation-
ally after two years and none locally. That’s 98% fewer than promised. If a housing company contracted to build 100 homes but only built two they would be done for fraud and bankrupted in the courts. The Government has bought most of the Kiwibuild homes from existing developments. They are not selling due to basic errors like being in the wrong place, being poorly designed or being too expensive. Multiple Kiwibuild managers have resigned. Hundreds of millions have been wasted. Our housing problems have been getting worse while Kiwibuild has been going to custard. The number of people on the waiting
lists for Housing New Zealand has more than doubled from 5,800 when National left office to 13,000 now. Housing affordability in Nelson and Tasman has deteriorated significantly. Local rents are up by $50 a week. I was pilloried as Building Minister in 2017 for questioning whether Kiwibuild would work. The idea that Government can build houses faster and more cost effectively than building companies was always flawed. I stated then that there was no quick fix to New Zealand’s housing challenges. The ten policies I was pursuing are not as sexy or simple as Kiwibuild but are the truthful answer. Government needs to help

Councils free up more land, enable inner city housing intensification, and help fund housing infrastructure. We need to increase competition and innovation in building materials. We need to train more building apprentices. We need to speed up and reduce the costs of building and resource consents. We need to build more state houses and partner with organisations like Nelson Tasman Housing Trust and Habitat for Humanity for more social housing. We need emergency housing programmes for people in crisis. We need schemes like National’s Homestart that have helped over 60,000 nationally and 2,000 locally with grants of

up to $20,000 to help with the deposit for people buying their first home. Labour was bragging last week that they had no regrets about their Kiwibuild promises as it was clever politics that helped them get into Government. I despise such cynicism. I would rather lose Government telling the truth than win Government telling a lie. Dr Bryce Edwards, political scientist from Victoria University stated “Having won power in 2017 on the basis of promises like Kiwibuild it would be apt if the Labour led Government lost that power in 2020 because of their failure to deliver.” Advert.

In a first for New Zealand rugby, the region’s health board has signed up with the Tasman union to become its official health and wellbeing partner. Nelson Marlborough Health (NMH) has replaced the union’s former partner, Coca Cola Powerade, and will see the Mako players promote health initiatives. As part of the three-year, $15,000 deal, the Tasman Rugby Union will encourage positive health-related decisions and behaviour among its stadium audiences, club rugby communities and schools. Its focus will be on the reduction of sugar consumption, the promotion of smoke-free environments, alcohol harm reduction and promoting mental wellbeing and resilience. NMH chief executive Peter Bramley says the partnership is an “innovative and powerful” public health initiative. “As the official health and wellbeing partner of the Tasman Rugby Union, we can leverage the influence that Mako players have among youngsters in our region. We can also use the reach the TRU has into clubs, schools and the wider community, to inspire positive health decisions and behaviour.” He says the sponsorship is a
“prudent investment”, even amid revelations that the health board is in a $20 million deficit. “It costs as much as $5,000 to remove one child’s teeth under general anaesthetic and we are seeing far too many children needing this kind of unnecessary hospital care in our region. “The terrible health effects of sugary drinks don’t stop at teeth – sugary drinks are the cause of obesity, diabetes and other serious health conditions that are a heavy burden on every DHB’s finances.” Tasman Rugby Union chief executive Tony Lewis says that promoting healthier living to its player base is important to them, individually and as players in an active competitive sport. “As a union, we are excited to be working progressively with NMH over three years to achieve our collective goal of encouraging our players to reduce their sugar intake and to be mentally and physically healthier.” NMH health promotion manager Lauren Ensor says, being sponsored by Coca Cola seemed to be “inappropriate” because sugary drinks were the main cause of sugar in New Zealander’s diets. “We aim to see an increasing health focus within rugby locally over the coming years, and hopefully that inspires other unions and New Zealand Rugby to follow suit.”

Weka fear inspires children’s book Sara Hollyman
New toilets raise a stink, Wednesday, September 4: The new $400,000 toilets at Queens Gardens next to the Suter Gallery are now working at full capacity after experiencing some flushing issues, caused by restricted water flow. “The Queens Gardens toilets were fixed on Thursday, September 5 and are now working properly,” says a spokesperson from Nelson City Council. The toilets were officially opened for use just over three weeks ago. Nelson’s Got Talent set to debut, Wednesday, August 14: Nelson’s Holly Fortune, 12, managed to raise $2000 to attend the triennial Scouts Jamboree at the end of this year after organising Nelson’s Got Talent. Around 100 people packed out the Boathouse on August 31 for the event. There were 11 contestants on the night, with 30 auditioning. The winners were Shayla King and Emily Preston-Thomas with an original song. Holly’s father, Chris Fortune, says it was a fantastic night with loads of amazing talent on show. They have already started organising the 2020 event which will be held at the Theatre Royal. Furry friends take the cake, Wednesday, July 31: The SPCA Cupcake Day was a huge success - in fact, it was their most successful one ever, according to spokesperson Jessie Gilchrist. “This year we raised $409,291 nationwide, and the money is still coming in,” she says. Nelson bakers, including the Nelson SPCA centre, raised $5755.43.

Erin Powell’s children’s fear of weka creeping through their Wakapuaka property inspired the Nelson mother to write her first book. Erin is officially launching her selfpublished book ‘Weka Haka’ at the Elma Turner Library on Sunday. The children’s book begins with young Maia’s hesitation of going out into the garden for fear the weka will peck her. However, she eventually finds her inner strength and rustles up the courage to scare the wily weka away. Erin says her son Darwin was the inspiration for the book. “We used to go around in the garden and he was absolutely terrified every time he saw the weka. “I was thinking ‘what’s a really good way of managing anxiety’ and I thought ‘I’ll look for a book about weka, there’s bound to be something about kids conquering their fear of weka’.” Erin couldn’t find one anywhere. She found one book about weka but it involved the boy next door saving the day. “It’s a great book but I was wanting to inspire bravery and resilience and a ‘kids can solve the problems themselves’

Preloved fashion on show for Hospice Kate Russell Reporter
kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Some of the best second-hand fashion finds in the region will be on show next Friday night all for a good cause. The Preloved Fashion Parade is a fundraiser for the Nelson Tasman Hospice and is being organised by Nelson Haven Lioness’. Wearing preloved clothing from the Richmond Hospice Shop, 12 models will provide the main entertainment for the evening at Club Waimea, along with local musical acts and stalls. “The models will wear two outfits each, which they have picked out with the help from our hospice shop volunteers,” says Margaret Ching from the Lioness’. “We’ve been working on it all year. It’s the first time it’s ever been done here and a fun way to show the great clothes you can get from the hospice shops.” Nibbles and drinks are provided in the ticket price and a cash bar will also be running.

If it’s a howling success, we’ll do it again next year.” Fundraising and marketing manager for hospice, Hudson Dodd, says they appreciate all the hard work going into the event. “It’s great to see the Lioness’ coming together to put on this fun event for a good cause.
Community organised events like this are the life blood of Nelson Tasman Hospice’s fundraising,” he says. “We’re grateful for all the efforts by the organisers and the models, as well as the businesses supporting the Lioness’ vision.” The Preloved Fashion Parade is on Friday September 20, 7pm at Club Waimea in Richmond. Tickets are $25 and available from Lemon Tree Lane in Stoke, Nelson House of Travel and the Richmond Mall service desk.

Nelson Marlborough District Health Board
I have Chaired NMDHB since 2010, in this time we have provided more health care each year and improved our services and outcomes for Maori and vulnerable people. There is still much to do. I enjoy the challenge this role has given me and my passion for health and my community drives me to continue to try and make a difference.. The future of healthcare in the Top of the South is positive. We have wonderful, talented and caring staff who are well motivated to provide top quality care. Yes, Health is big business and can be challenging - new technologies, an informed public, an aging population and always a tension of financial constraints, maintaining buildings and ensuring our workforce are innovative and up-to-date. We are planning a new Nelson Hospital that will provide modern care in facilities that staff and patients deserve. If re-elected I will use my energy and expertise to maintain momentum on this 50 year project, ensuring we have a facility we will all be proud of.
I have served on the Nelson city council as Mayor for 9 years, deputy Mayor for 6 years and represented Local Government NZ at a national level. I also have extensive community experience and am currently a Board Member of the Nelson /Tasman Cancer society, Chair of the Tahunanui Business Association and a Trustee of Te Matau, a proposed Marine Educational Centre. I believe I can bring that experience to the Nelson/ Marlborough District Health Board. I have a history of connecting policies and people, ensuring a pathway to a successful conclusion. The health sector has many new and demanding issues to face including an ageing population and increasing diversity of cultures and lifestyles. One of our major challenges is to unite the wider health sector, share available resources and deliver a better outcome for all. I look forward to your support to ensure we have an experienced senior voice at the table.
I feel extremely fortunate to live the NMDHB area. I am proud of the health system we have which delivers great services but there is more to be done to continue to meet the increasing needs of our community. With the prediction that demand will outstrip our ability to meet the healthcare needs of our community, we need to support innovation within and beyond the DHB. The people living in our district hold the key to solutions that will ensure we all live well, stay well and die well. We need to work with local service providers, our iwi and members of our community to address inequity, make it easier for people to make healthy choices for themselves and their whÄ nau, and create a safe environment for us to work, play and live in. As a lawyer, quality advisor and improvement scientist, I have spent most of my adult life improving the experience of, access to and quality of healthcare services. I want to use my experience and skills to support our DHB to meet the future.
I have lived in the Top of the South since 1973. Prior to settling in Nelson in 1990, I lived in Blenheim for many years. I am passionate about ensuring people who live in the Nelson/Marlborough DHB region have good health and wellbeing. My background is in emergency rescue and air ambulance, most recently as CEO of Life Flight (Air Ambulance and Rescue Helicopter) Trust. Having been closely involved with medical professionals in the emergency air ambulance sector I have gained valuable knowledge of the clinical pathways that provide best patient outcomes. I continue to be involved with the emergency sector as a Trustee and board member and have integrity, experience and knowledge. New Zealand has a great health system but improvement is needed due to stress in the system and inequities of access, especially for Maori, Pacific Island and rural communities. The current Health and Disability Review will present significant challenges for DHBs in implementing change. I am pleased this review is addressing important areas such as identifying those people not accessing proper care and focussing on wellbeing. Our DHB has an important part to play in improving access to primary health care and thereby reducing hospital admissions.

Local film fest rolls out red carpet Staff Reporter The Top of The South Film Festival returns for a special edition and an even bigger celebration on its 5th year anniversary. Nelson screenings are scheduled this Friday and Saturday, September 13 and 14, at the Suter Theatre. It will be two days of celebratory events, where the red carpet rolls out for the region’s local filmmaking talents, before premiering the 2019 “Gold Reel” selection of the best short films created in the Top of the South. Each evening starts with a locallymade feature film starting at 4pm. This includes multi-award winning “Blue Moon” – filmed in Motueka, on Friday, then “Hang Time” – filmed in Marlborough, on Saturday. Then both evenings will unfold with a red-carpet gala from 6 to 7 pm with food and beverages followed by “2019 Gold Reel” screening the best 16 local short films selected by an expert panel of judges, ending with the “People’s Choice” vote and awards presentation. For more information visit www.totsfilmfest.org

National choir to show off Nelson voices Bruno Saia
Around 60 male singers will show all the power of their voices later this month as part of the 20th anniversary of the New Zealand Male Choir. The concert, held on September 28 at the Nelson College for Girls, will celebrate the history of the group, whose members come from Bluff to Northland – including Nelson. The choir was founded in 1999 when the Nelson Male Voice
Choir sought reinforcements for its British tour. Since its formation, the choir has flourished and, in addition to being active in New Zealand, they have also toured Europe and Australia several times. Nelson member Norman Phillips says, when the first New Zealand male choir was formed, they went on tour to Wales. “One of the things they did was to visit the marae for a powhiri, and we decided to do the same.”
The presentation concert will start at 7.30 pm with the guest artists from the Nelson Male Voice Choir, along with Allison Cormack (soprano) and Douglas Couchman (cornet). On the Sunday the group will also showcase their voices for the Nelson community at the Christ Church Cathedral steps. The presentation will be a part of the church’s morning regular service and they will also perform some pieces from their own repertoire.
Norman says joining services at cathedrals and churches is something that they have traditionally done. “It’s also a tradition that when we do the entertainment, we normally go to the church and we sing as a part of the service. It’s open to the public, anyone can go there.” Tickets for the gala concert at Nelson College for Girls are available at www.ticketdirect. co.nz and at the Theatre Royal, in Nelson Nelson, for $30.

After winning an underwater hockey world title and being named the best U19 player on the planet, Greta Clark came home and slept for 17 hours. Greta and fellow Nelson College for Girls student Naomi Anderson were members of the New Zealand U19 team which won the World Championships in Sheffield last month. The team went unbeaten throughout the three weeks tournament, culminating with a close 3-2 win over Columbia. The Kiwis were down to four players in the pool at one stage after having two players sin binned. However, despite the added pressure, the side held on to continue the New Zealand dynasty. The U19 as well as the U24 teams have held the world titles every year except 2015.
New Zealand were largely unchallenged until meeting the South Americans, defeating South Africa 17-0, France 16-0 and the hosts 14-0 in pool play. To cap a stellar campaign, captain Greta was named best player at the tournament. “It hasn’t really sunk in yet.” Greta says she was riddled with emotion following the final whistle. “I think I cried four times.” She says adrenaline carried them through until about two days after the tournament where she “conked” out and slept for almost a day. Greta has still yet to full process the “uncomfortable tag” of the world’s best female U19 player. Naomi says it was a mixture of relief and excitement after the final. She says it was the most exciting tournament she has been involved in. “We all get along really well,
so it was so much fun, playing really good hockey with really cool people.” There was little time to celebrate for the young women as they had less than two weeks to prepare for nationals last week. However, despite the hectic schedule, the pair would enjoy the same success on the national stage. Nelson College for Girls took out the competition in Wellington with both Greta and Naomi again named in the tournament team. Nelson beat Epsom Girls Grammar 4-2 in the semifinal before defeating Otumoetai in the grand final by the same scoreline. Greta says becoming a national and world champion in the space of two weeks has sparked a desire to play more. “It’s still quite surreal but really happy because it had been a dream for a very long time.”

College crash out after stellar season Locally Owned and Operated
Jonty Dine Reporter
jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Nelson College’s dream run in 2019 ended in a nightmare against Kings College on Friday. College were outclassed right from the kick-off, with the Aucklander’s size and skill too much for the South Island champions as they prevailed 49-17. Nelson conceded four tries inside the opening twenty and never recovered as they were eliminated from the National Top Four in emphatic fashion. Conditions in Palmerston North saw handling an issue for both sides, but it was Kings
who controlled possession and territory throughout a forgettable 70 minutes for Nelson College. Nelson were then tasked with turning up again on Sunday to take on Super 8 champions Hamilton Boys in a play-off for third/fourth. Playing once again in torrid weather, Nelson went down to the North Island juggernaut 26-12 to finish fourth in the country. Despite the loss, Nelson can reflect on an outstanding season in which it finishes as Quad, UC and South Island champions. Skipper Anton Segner has been a hot topic in the national media of late, his potential catching
the imagination of both public and rugby circles. With the immense expectation placed on the young man’s shoulders, the German-born flanker put in two inspirational performances in losing efforts. The 18-year-old is still coming to terms with his college career coming to an end. “I think we all still need to recognise that, for most of us, it was the last game in the Nelson College jersey.” Scorers: Kings 49 (Grindley 3, Morris, Doyle, Otonuku, Watson tries, Morgan 4 cons, 1 pens, Grindley 1 pen) Nelson 17 (Rogers, Malaulau 2 tries, Barton 1 cons)

Nelson Suburbs enjoyed a stellar season in 2019, adding a new trophy to the cabinet for summer. After narrowly missing out on an MPL championship, Suburbs finished its season in style with a maiden Southern Football League title. Suburbs avenged its close loss to Cashmere Technical in the MPL to wrestle the SFL title away from the Christchurch powerhouses. Despite a draw in its final fixture against Coastal, Suburbs held off Cashmere United to keep top spot and claim the championship. Nelson was without star striker Cameron Gordon for the crucial clash due to a torn quad. Cashmere trailed Suburbs by just onepoint heading into the final round, but the Christchurch side and MPL champions also drew against Caversham to hand Suburbs the title. Nelson ended its campaign winning five of its seven games, with two draws. The side scored 17 goals and conceded only five for the second-best differential in the league. Club operations manager Gary Hinks says,

after finishing fourth in both the MPL and SFL in 2018, the season can only be seen as a success. “We more than achieved our goals this year.” He says, after a bit of a rough patch, Suburbs have re-established themselves as a force in Mainland Football. After a dire draw in its opening game of the season, Suburbs recovered to play some brilliant football to claim the club’s first title since 2008. “We have a great core of players and the club is on an upward trajectory, on and off the park.” Suburbs has brought onboard a new president, new committee members and a new director of football, which Gary says are all positives for the club. Suburbs added a pair of its stalwarts to the management ranks as it looks to cement its status as the region’s strongest club. Ryan ‘Skippy’ Stewart assumed the role of director of football while Neil Connell stepped up to co-coach the MPL side with Nelson Suburbs president Gary Booth celebrates with the team after their 2-2 draw Steve Bignall. “We also have new initiatives such as first with Coastal Spirit clinched their maiden SFL title. kicks by the clubrooms and the kick-off keeps our spectators and parents happy.” café, that all just adds to the atmosphere and He believes the club will continue to build from these foundations. “We don’t want to be a five-minute wonder.” One of Suburb’s deadliest weapons this year has been English striker Cam Gordan. Gordon finding the back of the net became a customary sight at Saxton this season. The Englishman scored a staggering 34 goals, accounting for almost half of his side’s total. Despite his scintillating scoring form, Cameron is quick to deflect credit. “The team are all doing their part and getting me in the right positions.” He says he is just happy to be contributing on the scoresheets. The striker reluctantly admits he was in the richest vein of form in his life this season. “It’s just confidence, things were just The final table shows how close the clicking.” competition was.

The club capped of the season with a prize giving last week. Sam was awarded Player of the Year while Cam was given the Golden Boot. Teenager Billy Check won the Youth Player of the Year award with Chester Gaskin taking Most Promising. Billy made his MPL debut against Western United at just 15. Enigmatic goalkeeper Corey Wilson was voted Supporters Player of the Year with Cam named Players’ Player. Corey earnt his accolade with arguably the
most thrilling moment of the season back in August as the goalie scored a dramatic late equaliser against Caversham. Coach Steve Bignall says the SFL title was reward for an incredibly hard-working group. Though he says the side was good enough to win Mainland, the SFL crown was well deserved. “They really pushed themselves this year.” Steve is unable to single out any players as he says they all performed at different times throughout the season. “We had injuries and suspensions, but Neil did very good job with the training sessions and as a group we dug deep and got our reward.” Steve says the club has made significant strides and they will not be resting on their laurels next season. “We’ll be sitting down shortly and sorting out what we need for next year, and what we need to do to defend this title.”
Teenager Billy Check was named Suburb’s Youth Player of the year. After its historic Chatham Cup campaign in 2019 Suburbs set their sights high for the prestigious tournament this season. However, the side was knocked out in the fourth round by Christchurch United. Suburbs started well with convincing wins over FC Nelson, Tahuna and Ferrymead Bays. However, after scoring 24 goals to one in the opening three rounds, Suburbs went down to Christchurch 2-1, missing out on consecutive quarterfinals. Skipper Sam Ayers says despite the disappointment of being knocked out of the Chatham Cup, it was a great season. “It was really good, didn’t win Mainland but we did really well in the SFL, going unbeaten, so we are very happy with that.” Sam was particularly pleased to get one
over arch-rivals Cashmere and says the entire squad performed well all season. “Cam was brilliant up front, but we were also defensively solid with Bryan McClelland and Chester Gaskin at the back, I think we only conceded two goals in open play.” Sam is hopeful of retaining the core group of players for next year. “Depends on a few of those foreign boys, but hopefully the majority will be back.” He says the challenge in 2020 will be consistency across all competitions. “The club has done really well behind the scenes, we have the right people in the right positions and the team itself is very close.”

The Mako men’s superb start to the season continued at Pukekohe on Friday with a resounding victory over Counties Manukau, while the women went down in a hardfought opening encounter against North Harbour. Tasman kept the hosts scoreless and ran in five tries to rout the Steelers 36-0, maintaining its spot at the top of the Premiership table. The win may have come at a cost though, with Andrew Makalio and Mitch Hunt both leaving the field with injuries. After a slow start, Tasman opened the scoring with Ethan Blackadder forcing a turnover and Will Jordan finishing off a slick counterattack. Jordan bagged a second on the back of a Mitch Hunt crosskick which is proving an effective weapon for the Mako this season. The Mako were all over the hosts, Levi Aumua bulldozing his way over for a third as Tasman took a handy 24-0 half-time lead. The carnage continued after

With the result assured, Tasman cleared the pine and fluidity wavered somewhat, but Leicester Faingaanuku put the icing on the cake for the unbeaten Mako. Though scoring some brilliant tries, it was the other side of the scoreline that gave co-head coach Andrew Goodman the most pleasure. Next week will see the side turn out at Trafalgar Park for

the first time this season as they take on North Harbour on Sunday, September 15. The Tasman women’s rugby team put up a strong performance in their first Farah Palmer Cup match of the national provincial championship season. The Mako opened its campaign with a 22-10 loss to North Harbour at Lansdowne Park in Blenheim on Saturday, a late surge allowing the northerners to take the spoils after the scores were locked 5-5 at halftime.
Centre Wairakau Greig scored an early try for Tasman, who more than matched Harbour in the early exchanges. However, the visitors finished the match stronger, opening up a handy lead before Tasman clawed their way back through a try to fellow midfielder Jess Drummond with 15 minutes to go. Harbour had the final say though, adding a third try near the finish. Mako coach Chris Binns felt his side had the better of the first spell and were very competitive throughout. “Both teams were probably guilty of first-game syndrome, over-enthusiastic, with quite a few basic errors, but Harbour settled down in the second half. Next week the Mako travel to New Plymouth to take on Taranaki. Scorers: Tasman 36 (Jordan 2, Aumua, Moli, Faingaanuku tries, Hunt 3 cons, O’Malley 1 con 1 pen) Counties 0 FPC: North Harbour 22 Mako 10 (Wai Greig, Jess Drummond tries). HT: 5-5.

FC claims Harris Cup The Nelson club football season wrapped up on Saturday with FC Nelson claiming the coveted Harris Cup. FC pipped a Marlborough Invitational XI 4-1 at Saxton Field to win the historic trophy after a 2-2 draw in the first leg over the Whangamoas last week. Nick Crosswell opened the scoring for FC before goal machine Brandon Pierie netted a second. Labu Pan and Harrison McFadgen then sealed the victory and the cup, which was last contested in 2008. Coach Paul Brydon says it was a pleasing result against a very strong Marlborough side. “We had a full squad to call on this week so having a stronger side made a difference.” He says it means a great deal to the club. “For the club to win against a rep team is a great effort.” FC will add the cup to an already full trophy cabinet after taking out the Nelson first division.
Nelson Suburbs out of the Chatham Cup. “They are a very strong side but anything can happen, as long as our boys turn up and give 100 per cent, we have got a chance.” Meanwhile, the Richmond Foxes dominant season continued with a resounding 4-1 win over FC to claim the women’s division one cup on Saturday. A hat-trick for Maryann Cant sealed the one-sided victory, a common theme for the Richmond side this season. The Foxes went unbeaten throughout the year, winning 16 from 17 with one draw and a goal differential of 63 across both competitions. Scorers: FC Nelson 4 (Brandon Pierie, Nick Crosswell, Labu Pan, Harrison McFadgen) Marlborough 1 Richmond 4 (Maryann Cant 3, Morgan Hodgson) FC Nelson 1
“I found it a tough league, there were no easy games.” Paul says the team started the season strongly, which was the catalyst for its success. “We trained very early in the year and hit the ground running.” He says, with some quality youth in the ranks as well as some stalwarts, the side has managed to build plenty of depth this season. “I hope to keep that nucleus of players for next year.” They boast a host of talent, with the likes of Brandon Pierie, who scored 21 goals, and Labu Pan and Cristian Benetiz having been involved with Tasman United. They will be calling on every bit of it this weekend as they take on Christchurch United in the first of a two-match series. The winning club will book itself a spot in the MPL next season. Paul says it’s going to be a big ask to beat the Christchurch club champions, who knocked
