Giving up on housing market Sara Hollyman and Kate Russell
The Nelson property market proved to be too hard of a nut to crack for one family and has pushed them out of the region. Ned and Rachael Worboys uprooted their life in Wellington
close to family and moved to Nelson in January last year, in hope of being able to buy their first home to raise their two young sons. After more than a year of open homing and consistently being priced out, they made the “very difficult” decision to give up on their
dream and head to the Wairarapa. “We ended up having to move from Nelson. The way the market went, and the way houses were being sold, meant we weren’t going to be able to buy even if we waited a few years,” she says. Instead, the couple moved to the
Wairarapa and say they easily secured twice the home and twice the land. “It’s not Nelson, but we have a lovely home and some money left over to make it ours.” Rachael says their experience of open homes here, of which they had
attended at least a dozen, was much better, with owners giving a fair idea of what they wanted, making it a much less stressful experience. Latest QV figures show that in March 2019 the average home

Nelson’s heritage standing up tall Sara Hollyman
Those who stepped through the gates of Founder’s Heritage Park on Sunday were transported to much simpler days where newspapers were printed manually, and circus acts were big entertainment. Co-ordinator Giles Burton says the heritage fair was aimed at being a fun family day out with old time games like coconut shy and quoits, distorting mirrors and magicians. “People are quite interested in the history, they are more interested in heritage, particularly in New Zealand.” He says Nelson has a good handle on its heritage, but the way early events panned out are “probably not quite correct”. He says many have Pakeha-driven version of historic events. “But actually, if you look a bit deeper it’s not quite as crystal clean as that, but I think people are more interested in finding that out.” Giles noted that a previous heritage event, the Wairau Affray, drew a lot of interesting comments from people who didn’t previously know the history particularly from Maori perspective.

QV Nelson property consultant, Craig Russell, says that local demand is likely to be further fuelled over winter by the Reserve Bank’s indication that the cash rate may be cut, which will keep interest rates low. “Poorer quality investment properties with deferred maintenance are coming available for sale as experienced investors’ dispose of these properties due to weaker yields, upcoming healthy home compliance costs,

for Bayleys Real Estate, Kellie Todd, says some people are being priced out of the market, but she hasn’t personally experienced buyers not being able to purchase. “People aren’t getting sick of it; well, they are, but they’re staying and they’re being proactive. Kellie says properties that are under or around $500,000 have consistent enquiries and typically sell in three weeks, having multiple offers within the first week. She agrees that everything is aligning to create more competition for buyers. A recently-listed Stoke home had 60 people through the first open home which Kellie says shows that there’s still strong interest and “a lot of competition”. “Three of those were families who are trying to relocate from other parts of the country.”

Demand up for affordable residential apartments

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Plans for a proposed new residential apartment development on the city fringe were enthusiastically received by Nelson City Council on Monday. The Special Housing Area (SHA) application for the sixlevel building at 71 Haven Rd was unanimously green-lighted by councillors and will now be put forward to the Housing Minister. SHAs are approved under the Housing Accord, which is an agreement between the council and central government seeking to fast-track new developments to increase housing stock. Developer Tony Vining said his company purchased the land in 2016 with the intention of creating a storage facility for boats and caravans. “But we came to realise that it was actually well suited to an apartment development. It’s elevated, sunny, got great views over the city, far enough away from the main road, enjoys a backdrop of the hillside and is within walking distance to the city and amenities.” He says he is seeing a “huge demand” for affordable apartments close to the CBD

There will also be a shared electric scooter/ bike facility. It will be constructed with a Nelson-made cross-laminated timber product, produced by XLam. It has minimal waste, good insulation qualities and high fire and earthquake resistance. There was concerns about traffic on Haven Rd, but city
development team leader Lisa Gibellini said NZTA have been “highly supportive” while businesses at the front have interest in relocating. Councillor Matt Lawrey said he was “heartened” by the proposal, while councillor Bill Dahlberg said it was a “great use of land, a great use of resources and it’s fitting a niche”. Tony says the response “couldn’t be better”. “This is a fantastic opportunity to not only satisfy a high demand housing sector, but to also greatly enhance the area and surrounds.”

Silent protest speaks volumes Locally Owned and Operated
Jonty Dine Reporter
jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz
While many of us use our annual leave to go on holiday, Yasmeen Maria Jones-Chollet spent hers making a statement by living the life of a sweat shop worker. That meant no sunlight, no talking, no seeing her son, and only one 10-minute break to eat a small portion of rice as she worked her fingers bloody producing bags for 16 hours a day, 112 hours a week. The gruelling demonstration was to protest both the ethical and environmental issues that plague the fashion industry. Yasmeen says she wants to show people what is happening behind the scenes when it comes to the products they buy. The Nelson workers’ rights advocate says it’s time to start having the difficult conversations. “A lot of people are simply afraid to say, ‘why are all my clothes made by slaves?’” Yasmeen set herself up on Trafalgar St from 6am-10pm daily last week with her sewing machine, placards and donation box. She covered her mouth to symbolise the silence sweat shop

taking a stand against the industry. “I have met people who have worked in these factories in Bangladesh and Thailand, it’s real and it hurts them.” She says they often feel completely powerless in their situations. “They are so grateful to be heard and to know that someone that isn’t trapped in that system cares.” Yasmeen says the work these women and young children are forced to do is soul crushing.
“It’s devoid of meaning, it’s repetitive, it’s monotonous.” However, the most difficult aspect for Yasmeen wasn’t the sleep deprivation, hunger or lack of sun, but watching people shop. “Seeing people nod at me, but then go into Starbucks and buy a coffee in a plastic container, it’s hard.” Yasmeen has been moved by the public’s response which has included an inundation of donations as well as plenty of
support and encouragement. “A 14-year-old girl was crying and came up to me and said ‘thank you,’ it was so beautiful.” At the end of the week Yasmeen sold her bags with all proceeds going to factory workers in Bangladesh. While there is plenty of work to do in order to rid the fashion industry of all its issues, Yasmeen says there is a way we can help. “Stop the mindless, meaningless, relentless consumerism.”

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Kellys Conservation Forest will be opening its gates to the public this weekend - and if you’re lucky, you could catch a glimpse of one of our rarest birds. There have been four sightings over the past few months of the yellowhead/mohua at the Enner Glynn forest, says owner Lindy Kelly. The canary-like little bird with the bright yellow head is featured on New Zealand’s $100 note. “Once one of the most abundant of our forest birds, it is now one the most threatened, and today, it is not believed to exist in the Top of the South by knowledgeable bird watchers,” says Lindy. “There used to be populations in the Marlborough Sounds, but successive years of beech masting caused an explosion in the rat population which devastated the local mohua. They nest in holes in
trees, making them very vulnerable to predators such as rats, possums, stoats, cats and even hedgehogs.” Lindy says three people have now seen the mohua in the forest, and during the open day this Sunday, visitors will be asked to watch out for the mohua with a reward for the best photo taken of one. The seven hectares of native forest tucked away in Enner Glynn is due to the work of Lindy and her family, who have been restoring it for the last 34 years. The public will also be able to walk over the new bridge, built with the help of the NMIT trainee rangers. Lindy says the forest is set to increase in size again this winter, with 8000 more trees to be planted and included in a DOC Covenant, bringing the size of the forest to over 10ha, with trails and picnic areas throughout. The Kellys Conservation Forest open day is on this Sunday, 5 May from 1-4pm at 100 Enner Glynn Road. Entry is free.

Fire accused on bail: The man who allegedly lit fires in the region while Nelson’s state of emergency was in full swing has been granted bail. Benjamin Phillip Durrant, 34, appeared by video link from Christchurch Men’s Prison at the Nelson District Court on Friday. He was charged with two counts of arson while the Pigeon Valley fire was underway. Judge Tony Zohrab approved the bail application. Durrant will next appear in court on May 29.

Now the fermented green tea is huge business around the world. “We definitely want to be a place in Nelson which people can be really proud of, and then export that.” He says that the spike in kombucha consumption went along with the change in drink driving laws. It became an alternative that was low in sugar with some health benefits but was also an interesting beverage. “It has stuff going on,” Brandon says. “It’s like an experience in a glass.” However, he says CBD as people know it will remain open until the middle of the year when the canning line comes in.

Brandon Turnage is fermenting a dream. It is one that has taken four years to recognise but over the Christmas period the owner of Renegade Ferments and the CBD Depot could not ignore the numbers. “We hit Christmas and our kombucha was in backorder by three weeks. It just exploded.” Turnage started both companies on Achilles Ave, thinking that his craft beer bar would take the lead. But now with the kombucha side of the business looking increasingly viable with sales around the country. Now, he and his investors have made a decision. “We are transitioning. We are not going anywhere but we need the space.” That space will mean that Renegade Ferments will rebrand and the Kombucha Bros and expand into the CBD Depot’s backroom and bar area. That will make way for fermenting tanks and a canning line. Then, Brandon says the hope is for world domination for a drink that only a few years ago was seen as an alternative

Slips under repair: The NelsonTasman Cycle Trails Trust and the Brook Waimarama Sanctuary Trust are continuing work to reinstate the Dun Mountain Trail at two major slip sites, with support from Nelson City Council and Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment. The work was delayed over summer when the extreme fire risk led to a ban on operating machinery and the closure of the reserve. The ‘fence line slip’ between Four Corners and Third House is being spanned with a boardwalk structure by the Brook Waimarama Sanctuary Trust. The ‘pipeline slip’ between the Maitai Dam and Smiths Ford will be cleared and stabilised to ensure this section of trail is safe before reopening to the public.

Nelson jeweller attempts world record Sara Hollyman Reporter
sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz
A Nelson jeweller is vying for a new title as maker of the world’s largest ring. Glen James has spent many hours slowly crafting the 1.3-kilogram glass ring which encompasses 500 grams of sterling silver, 171 cubic zirconia and 30 grams of 9ct gold. He says the process was a “very drawn out” one, but well worth it. “I started a book with how long it took, I’d work on it then think ‘stuff this’ and put it down again, then ripped into it, got sick of it, and put it down again.” The unique jewel has been accepted by the Guinness World Records under the category of ‘largest jewelled ring’ and Glen says the process will now involve sending evidence and documentation proving the claim. “In all honesty they probably won’t accept it because there’re people out there who go crazy

Photo: Sara Hollyman. with things, but we’ll still call it the world’s biggest.” The glass jewel sits in a standard six claw setting just on a grander scale and has a 9ct brace which sees it supported over three fingers. He estimates the value of the time and materials used to shape it at being around $20,000. “We didn’t do it for the record, that was just an idea that someone had, but it is the world’s biggest solitaire as far as we know”. Glen purchased the huge piece
of glass nearly ten years ago for a wedding show and people always asked him what he was going to do with it to which he replied: “I’m going to make a ring”. Now that the ring is complete it will eventually have prime place in a front window cabinet with some smaller novelty rings of the same design. “If we don’t get a record, we’ll still put a sign up saying world’s largest ring, prove there’s another one.” He says, while the ring does not feature a price tag “anything is for sale for the right price”.
Every year Network Tasman reviews its Asset Management Plan. The plan helps us identify and anticipate key trends in electricity usage on our consumer-owned network and use the necessary planning required to keep it safe, reliable and fit for purpose. As part of the annual review, we consider recent network performance (safety and reliability), an updated demand forecast, and the current status of capital and network renewal projects. In our 2019 Asset Management Plan, available now on our website at www.networktasman.co.nz/asset-managementplan, we outline how Network Tasman plans to invest $120 million in our network during the next 10 years. Planned network investment for 2019/20 Network Tasman’s Network Manager, Murray Hendrikson, says next year’s investment focuses on supporting regional growth with four significant projects planned: z
Installing an alternative 33kV supply for our Mapua Substation in the form of a new underground cable from Waimea West to Ridgeview Road/Appleby Highway, which will significantly reduce the incidence of power interruptions in the area.

Stoke Library question proves tricky Kate Russell
Stoke Library continues to give Nelson City Council a headache as councillors ponder how to maintain the much-needed service to the community ahead of the up-and-coming closure of the main library. The community services committee received a report on Monday with a range of options of what could be done to provide a temporary space for library users in Stoke when the main library is closed later this month for a water-tightness assessment and repairs. Options presented included creating a ‘popup’ library in the ex-Video Ezy or Benge and Co stores, the Greenmeadows Centre, or the recommended option - the former Stoke Seniors hall, at an unbudgeted cost of $40,000. But until the wall linings are removed, council officers say it’s not possible to ascertain the extent of the damage and therefore the duration of closure. Andrew Petherem, council property, parks and facilities asset manager, told councillors that until they open up the building they can’t say for sure long it would need to shut. “We would open it up and know within a week the extent of the damage.” Committee chair Gaile Noonan said they will call another meeting, if needed. “At the moment, we don’t know what we’re dealing with. I just don’t want to be spending $40,000 [on a pop-up library] if we don’t need to.” Mayor Rachel Reece said if a pop-up library is needed, her preference is for the space to be in Greenmeadows, instead of the recommended Stoke Seniors hall. “If we can give [Stoke] an opportunity to have a library in that beautiful warm space, we should.” But resource consent conditions could make this tricky. The Stoke Library attracts around 400 people day and around 10,000 across a month, and provides other council services such as paying rates and bus tickets “It is a very well used facility,” said Gaile.

New top man at NBS Locally Owned and Operated
Andrew Board Reporter

There’s new face but a similar philosophy at the head of Nelson Building Society. Tony Cadigan took over as chief executive of NBS at the start of the year but he says after 18 and a half years in senior management roles at NBS he represents a ‘steady as she goes’ appointment. Tony was lured to NBS in 2000 when he was working for ASB in Auckland by the man he’s replaced, longserving general manager Ken Beams, who retired at the end of last year. Ken and Tony first met when Ken coached Hokitika’s Westland High School’s 1st XV where Tony was a player. “So when he called about a job at NBS, I listened,” says Tony. He says he didn’t know much about NBS back then but quickly realised it was too good a chance to turn down. “The opportunity to come to Nelson and raise our kids, who were young then, was the major carrot for us. It was good timing.” Tony first took the role as the branch manager in Richmond before becoming assistant general manager four years later. Since 2000, NBS has grown its assets from $60 million to $828 million, which represents double digit growth year-on-year since the turn of the century.
“It’s an incredible legacy that Ken leaves,” says Tony. “And being able to sit beside him through that journey has positioned me to take over.” He says the short-term focus is on staying the course. “It’s steady as she goes for the time being, I need to take the time to find my feet before doing anything too adventurous. We’ll continue to foucs on our customers and the things we do well.” Tony’s appointment has also seen a shuffle of NBS’ senior management team. Toni Lane moves from Richmond branch manager to be regional manager. Howie Timms moves from Motueka branch manager to commercial manager. Greg Dykzeul is the new Motueka branch manager and Brent Williams is the new Richmond branch manager. With almost two decades at NBS behind him, Tony says he’s excited about his new challenge. “We think we’ve done so well and that we have such a great brand and profile but it feels like we haven’t touched the surface. I think that’s what excites me the most, we’ve done so well but we can just keep getting better. “When people think about NBS I want them to think about a community bank. I want us to be respected and I want to be an employer of choice. “We’re going great but in some respects we haven’t started yet and that’s what is so exciting.”

Come workout at the brain gym Charles Anderson Bruno Saia wants to give your brain a work out. The Brazilian-native is in Nelson and wants to share his skills at helping the community develop their ability to concentrate, learn and have fun. “How do we learn? We need connections between our neurons – there are so many. But if they aren’t connected with each other they don’t work that well.” Bruno says by stimulating the brain you can create more synapses that connect the neurons. To do that he is offering a programme that uses games, puzzles and group dynamics to help children and older Nelsonians use their brain in new ways. “Besides that, we need to have fun because that is just as important for your brain to develop. If you are doing things you haven’t done before and connecting with people, this makes us think better.” Bruno first stumbled across “brain gymnastics” when he was working as a journalist in Brazil. He was finding it hard to concentrate and deal with many streams of information for his job. “I was tired and sad, and I just wasn’t enjoying the thing that I enjoyed to do.” He found a school that taught techniques to help develop the brain to better handle complex
Sewer renewals underway
Work has been underway around Nelson to renew and rehabilitate the ageing parts of our sewerage network. This project involves tackling sections of Hardy Street, Achilles Avenue, Wakatu Lane, Halifax Street, Collingwood Street and Bronte Street. The work is being done using a trenchless liner method called Cured-In-Place-Pipe (CIPP), which Chair and Deputy Chair of the Works and Infrastructure Committee, Stuart Walker and Mike Rutledge recently visited saw in action when they visited the work site. The methodology starts by gaining access to the existing manholes or access points along the pipeline and then inspecting the pipeline section between the two access points, using a CCTV camera. Then workers clean the section of pipeline with a high pressure water jet and remove any obstructions. They then install a flexible liner down the section of pipeline. After that they expand the liner to fit firmly against the existing pipeline. This is done using either water or air pressure. Once the liner has set, the pressure is released. They then reconnect any house/building laterals that drain into the pipe. The completed liner will ensure a watertight pipeline for the next 50 plus years without the need to dig-up the road, minimising disruption to residents and businesses. Council says this method is proving to work effectively at these and several other sites around Nelson.
thought. Now, he wants to bring those skills to Nelson. “People have been so kind to me so would like to do something for the community.” Bruno is offering the course for children and parents at Victory Community Centre starting Tuesday April 30 from 4pm to 5pm and ending on July 2. He is also offering a course for older Nelsonians starting May 6 at Tahunanui Community Centre from 11.30am to 12.30 until May 27. Each session is $2 and people can come for all sessions or just one. “We just want people to come along and enjoy themselves,” says Bruno.

Road noise debacle When the resource consent was being considered for the formation of Whakatu Dr back in the late 1980s, a commissioner (Ian Lawrence, deputy mayor of Wellington) was appointed to hear submissions from the public, and in particular, from those whose properties were close to the alignment of the new road. At that time, being a resident of Rosebank Tce, which was less than 30 metres away, there was much concern about the likely road noise, and I presented a submission to the commissioner on behalf of all residents on this very issue. As a result, the commissioner in his final report stressed “the need for concerns about road noise to be addressed”. Despite this, apart from some meagre tree planting, nothing else was done. Further approaches to the NZTA between 2010 and 2016, when traffic num-
bers had hugely escalated, asking for smooth seal to be laid down over a 2 km stretch between the Nayland Rd overbridge and Kendall View to replace the noisy stone chip surface, were unsuccessful - even though the NZTA maximum 65 decibel noise standard was being well exceeded over many hours each day. There is no doubt the traffic noise is a big health issue and a total invasion of privacy. That is one of the main reasons we are no longer Rosebank Tce residents. Time now for NZTA to get it sorted!

Airport parking part of ‘growing up’ This is big city airport thinking. An airport like Nelson should just have one parking rate. Next thing we'll see is covered valet parking with a 20 second ride to the terminal. Oh, and I'd actually like to be able to find a car park without paying the premium rate. Too much driving around and around looking for a park these days. Never a problem

I generally want to park for a week or so, but the "long term" park is always full these days, and I'm not going to pay premium rates. I now park at a mate’s place and walk or taxi/shuttle to the airport, so the airport no longer gets any revenue from me, whereas they used to regularly. Chris Mackerell
sometimes struggle to find a space in the other areas. At peak season you will be forced to use this area. Keep a few premium spaces maybe, but to have such a huge area separated off is ridiculous, as shown by the very few people who are currently using it. This is purely a money grabbing exercise. Sandra Carter
I was surprised at how little it costs to park at the airport. Wellington Airport costs are horrendous. Signage of parking could be better. I'm glad they have fixed the premium parking for those with mobility parking permits, as I was left wondering the other week what was the purpose of holding a mobility permit when I had to park so far away.

Nelson Matters The official opening of the Nelson Tasman Hospice in Suffolk Road in Stoke this Thursday is a tremendous achievement for the region. We owe huge thanks to the thousands of volunteers, health professionals and supporters who have enabled us to complete this stunning new facility. Nelson has been at the forefront of the New Zealand Hospice movement since it began. The philosophy is to focus on the quality of life for people in the last months, weeks or days of life. It is a better model of care than hospitals and invasive procedures. It provides people with special palliative and wrap around services to ensure the
last stage of life is as comfortable and fulfilling as possible. It has been an amazing journey working alongside Hospice over the last 30 years seeing these services grow. Sally McCormack House used to support 30 families a year but the numbers now top 400 per year. We achieved a major breakthrough in 1998 in getting Government, through the District Health Board, to contract Nelson Hospice for integrated home and in-patient services. This enabled the Manuka St Hospital shared facility with Hospice that opened in 1999. The growth in demand for surgery and for Hospice since has seen the site become increasingly pressured for space and the
search for a dedicated Hospice site. The Hospice this month has been seeking donations of tissues. I dropped some in and was offered a tour. A long-serving volunteer said she needed the tissues for her tears of joy for the new building. It is easy to see why. The ten spacious inpatient rooms each have a deck and garden and a private bathroom with the latest technology to make people as comfortable as possible. Large parts of the building are to support the army of nurses and volunteers who support patients in their homes and to store and manage the modern equipment to make people as comfortable as possible.

Seniors keeping connected I think it is SUPER important for people over 60 to embrace technology (if they can) and get connected - my grandma (90) does, and it means she can skype with family all over the world and doesn't miss a thing. However, my nana (80) steers clear of it and is lonely at home sitting on the couch all day with health issues, missing out on her family and us missing out on keeping in better contact with her. Especially important for families who live all over the place! I know my nana would benefit greatly from being connected, but I also worry that she will be one of the easy ones who gets scammed.

I also pay tribute to the Hospice Board so ably led by former Nelson Marlborough Health Board CEO John Peters and the Hospice staff led by Frances Dellebeke. It takes a special kind of person to work with the dying but Nelson has them in bulk. It is said that a community should be judged not by how its most affluent live, but by how it cares for its most vulnerable. Our new Hospice reinforces just how caring a place Nelson is.

Elvis comes to Nelson Ghost Light Theatre to close It was Elvis that brought Charles and Mel Hindley back to Nelson. The couple were living here in 2011 before a family incident meant they had to return to Britain. But now they say they are ready to reveal the deeply personal story that was the catalyst for their return. Eugene & Elvis is one man’s story which brings together three of the protagonist’s true passions; music, theatre and family. The story aims to take an audience on a journey with Eugene (the actor’s brother) as he describes the way in which the songs of great artists like Elvis can transport us to our most significant memories. Many of these are woven into the narrative with real recordings made by Eugene from the thousands of hours of cassette
recordings he made. Charles says the play is an exploration of the universal challenges of the human condition. “It is a true account; genuine and authentic.” Eugene & Elvis premiered at Edinburgh Fringe in 2016 where it was described as: “a rawly human musing on love, loss, family ties and the healing power of music… a touching, affectionate and deeply felt performance”. Charles is a member of the multi award-winning comedy troupe ‘Men with Coconuts’, who appeared at Ghost Light Theatre in March this year to a sold out audience. Eugene and Elvis is on at Ghost Light Theatre at 7.30pm tomorrow, May 2. Tickets on the door or at www. ghostlight.nz

After two years of bringing bold performing arts to the Nelson, Ghost Light Theatre will be closing its doors mid-May. In the eyes of the organisers, the venture, based on Bridge Street, has been a success for the arts community of Nelson and New Zealand, providing a small-scale venue for touring productions and local creations, in addition to workshops and classes for the public. Director Laura Irish says the non-profit theatre has held more than 170 different events with performers from all over the world entertaining thousands of Nelsonians. However, despite the high use of the space and its apparent contribution to the community, the charitable trust behind the theatre has made the difficult decision to close in May. Laura says the organisation was not able to secure long-term operational funding to make its ongoing existence viable. She says Ghost Light has been praised for its contribution to helping make the CBD a more vibrant and welcoming place to be.
Ghost Light director Laura Irish. Photo: Supplied “However, it would be irresponsible for the trust to move forward without the guarantee of fiscal support.” The lack of backing comes after this year’s Nelson Summer Shakespeare and Nelson Fringe Festival - both also being cancelled due to lack of support. “It’s a shame that funders have not seen supporting these ventures as a high priority as they offer such a large return on investment in terms of community well-being and
cultural vitality,” Laura says. The theatre has made a small surplus most months and has always been able to pay its bills but has not made enough to create a fair wage for the people who work to provide this service. She says 90 percent of charitable arts organisations cannot fully function without funding or consistent sponsorship. This is even more so in provincial regions. Ghost Light still has many events coming up before their final Closing Night Event on May 17 and would love to see the community come out and support the artists who will be performing in the next month, some coming from overseas. “This has been an amazingly rewarding project and we’re so grateful to all the artists, audiences and volunteers.” Laura says she is especially grateful to Daniel Moon and Ishna Jacobs who organise Bridge Street Studios. “We couldn’t have done any of this without them.” Daniel and Ishna still want to continue to use the space as a performance venue.

Influenza is a serious illness. Influenza, commonly called the flu, can be a serious illness that is sometimes fatal. Infection with the influenza virus may lead to a stay in hospital for any age group but particularly if you are elderly or have an ongoing medical condition. Influenza can make an existing medical condition, such as asthma or diabetes, a lot worse. Even if you do not end up in hospital, influenza can keep you in bed for a week or more. Flu can be anywhere. Around one in four New Zealanders are infected with influenza each year. Many people won’t feel sick at all, but can still pass it on to others. Contact with the influenza virus is almost unavoidable, and while contact does not necessarily mean infection, it does mean that you are never far from the possibility of catching influenza. Vaccination could be free for you. Vaccination against flu is FREE for pregnant women, people

Deans Nursery, which is located on the outskirts of sunny Richmond, is currently gearing up for its annual Autumn Sale. “We’ve got a nursery which is full of very healthy plants, with a full range of New Zealand native and exotic plants available,” says James. “We have a full range of New Zealand native and exotic plants available and autumn is the ideal time to plant, because there’s still some warmth in the soil which allows them to be established for winter, giving them more resistance to next year’s summer droughts.” The autumn sale at Deans Nursery starts on Saturday, April 27th with 10 percent off all plants and 20 percent off selected lines including: climbers, salvias, hebes, native ground covers, corokias, griselinias and deciduous trees, “which are looking great at the moment with the autumn colour.” Deans Nursery will be open seven days a week throughout May. “In the 1st week of May our new stocks of rhododendrons will be arriving and we’ll have a huge selection.” Be sure to visit Deans Nursery at 33 Lansdowne Road for its autumn sale, starting April 27th.

wood burner more efficiently
1
Check if it’s OK to use. Does it have a Council building permit or consent? Was it installed before 2000? Burners installed before 2000 in some parts of Nelson cannot be used or replaced with another wood burner.
2
Use Good Wood. This means dry wood with less than 25% moisture, left long enough after cutting to dry out before using it.
3
Check for Council’s list of Good Wood suppliers nelson.govt.nz (search phrase = Good Wood).
4
Use the right wood at the right time. Lighter wood like Pine or Douglas Fir is good for kindling. Dense wood like Gum will burn longer and give more heat once the fire is burning well.
5
Store your wood properly – split and stack in a criss-cross pattern for good ventilation and keep in a covered, dry place.
6
Burning things like wet wood, plastic, rubbish or treated wood, is banned. It can create toxic fumes and damage your burner.
7
STEP ONE for a good fire: When preparing to light your fire leave a bed of ash, put scrunched newspaper in the bottom, add small bits of kindling, add larger pieces of dry wood as fire catches hold.
8
STEP TWO for a good fire: Light newspaper in several places. Have air control fully open to keep fire burning brightly, unless reloading you should keep the door closed.
9
STEP THREE for a good fire: Never use the door to force wood into burner – it could break the glass.
10
STEP FOUR for a good fire: Look after your burner – follow the manufacturer’s operation and safety instructions. Clean your flue every autumn and replace any damaged parts.

Joe’s record throw beats rival Jonty Dine
To be the man you’ve got to beat the man, and after five long years Joe Ford finally knocked off his rival to become the South Island Secondary Schools discus champion last month. Having gone his whole college career without beating incumbent James Coats, it took a special throw from Joe to get him across the line. Late on the final day in Christchurch, Joe and James were going tit for tat with the defending champion managing to continually outthrow. That was until the 18-year-old Nelson
College student mustered a personal best of 46.50, edging his opponent by more than a metre to win the title. “As soon as I threw it, I could feel it was going to be good.” Joe credits a combination of adrenaline and nerves for his mammoth effort as well as determination to get one over James. “He had always beaten me, and this was my last chance, so I just trained hard and managed to throw a personal best on the day.” It was an athletics day back in year seven when Joe first picked up a discus and discovered his talent

Giants’ big import makes an impact Jonty Dine The Manawatu Jets came to play – but so did the Mike Pero Nelson Giants’ Australian import Rhys Vague. Thanks to a standout performance from Vague on Friday, the Giants bounced back from last week’s loss to come away with a thrilling 99-94 win at the Hangar on Friday. The Giants would survive a third quarter fightback by the Jets to register its second win of the season, Vague finishing with 23 points, five assists and six rebounds. Vague says the result puts them in good stead, with two wins and a loss for the start of their campaign. “They came to play, we came out slow in that first half and they made us pay for it.” He says there are plenty of tough tests ahead, but they will continue to get better. “I feel it is only upwards from here.” Having been in Nelson for a few weeks now the 23-year-old says he is loving his time in the region. “It’s not often you can walk into a team and after a week it feels like home.” Vague says the side is beginning to gel as it forms new combinations. “We are a young team and have only been together for a short time so the fact we are 2-1 is a real positive.” Vague brings six years of top-level experience to the franchise. He moved to the region from Perth where he played for the Wildcats in the NBL and in 2017 he was named in the
Jordair Jett’s fearless attack and Vague’s pinpoint radar came into play as he took his tally to 20 and allowed Nelson to finally wrestle back the lead after a Granger three. Granger put the Giants into the nineties before Grida put the icing on the cake with a three which would ultimately prove the pivotal points in the contest. Vague would stamp his authority on the match with another basket followed by a rebound to seal a thrilling victory. He says the value from the bench was the key factor in getting them across the line. “Ali and Tom were just unreal.”
SPORTS Rhys Vague was in top form for the Mike Pero Nelson Giants against the Manawatu Jets at the Trafalgar Centre. Photo: Evan Barnes/Shuttersport. 12-man Emerging Boomers squad. Standing at 6’8” Vague is already averaging 22 points per game for the Giants this season. On Friday, Manawatu opened the scoring as the Jets sneaked out to a slim lead early, but Nelson would soon find its radar. Birthday boy and fellow Aussie import Daniel Grida continued his strong start in Giant’s colours. Vague also showed his class with a nonchalant lay up while Grida slammed one home from his partner to square it 12-12. Vague’s three pointer saw Nelson take
the lead as the hosts clung on to a onepoint advantage until the Jets stole it with less than a minute remaining in the first period. Nelson would stretch ahead with more clinical work at the basket from Vague while Ali Granger was making a menace of himself on defence. The sides continued to trade baskets as Vague took his tally to 19 at halftime with five rebounds. However, Jets swingman Wally Ellenson was not far behind with 17 after he slammed home a spectacular alley-oop to bring them within three at 48-45.
Football: Nelson Suburbs avenged its Anzac Day loss to Coastal Spirit with a 3-1 away win over the same side on Saturday. A double to man of the match Cameron Gordon ensured a 2-0 halftime lead before Jordon Yong netted a third for the visitors. The win puts Suburbs in second equal on the MPL table five points shy of leaders Cashmere Technical. Next up for Suburbs is Nomads United in Christchurch this Saturday.

Marist and Waimea Old Boys are set for an almighty clash on Saturday as both sides kept their unbeaten records alive in the E’stel Tasman Trophy. After a slow start in trying conditions at Tahunanui Fields Marist ran in seven tries to register a comfortable 45-23 win while, Waimea were in dominant fashion against Moutere, racking up 64 points at Jubilee. Marist coach Gavin Briggs says despite a slow start and finish, Saturday’s win was a satisfying one against a competitive Central outfit. “It was going to be a tough ask, we knew the weather would play a part.” A Marist mistake from the kick-off gifted possession to Central who took advantage through hooker Jesse-Lee MacDonald who powered over for the opening try. Central made all the play early on, the hosts spoken to about repeated infringements after conceding four penalties in the opening ten. Referee Gary Reily eventually lost patience and sent Jamie Spowart to the bin when he played his opposite on the ground. Mitch Smith converted another penalty into points as the visitors were rampant in the opening exchanges. After a sustained attack, skipper James Hawkey waltzed across and converted his own try for Martist’s first points, Both sides handled well in the wet, but Marist continued to be hampered by ill-discipline, Smith adding another three to the tally. The green machine’s monstrous forward pack started flexing its muscles as Taina Fox-Matamua strolled in off the back of a dominant scrum. Marist started the second half as the first, a bonus point try to prop Jake Wetere stretching the lead to 26-13. Mistakes crept in for both teams as substitutes and a greasy ball disrupted the flow in the second.
Central would fall off a number of first up tackles and Joe Taylor picked up a fifth for Marist followed soon after by a second for Wetere from another rolling maul. However, Central weren’t done with just yet, responding with the try of the match to Braden Stewart after a storming run down the sideline by prop Peter Vakaloa. They would have the last say too as Vakaloa powered over for Central’s third. Elsewhere, Nelson’s poor season continued, going down to Waitohi
while Stoke suffered a shock loss to East Coast. Scorers: Marist 45 (Wetere 2, Hawkey, Moli, Fox-Matamua, Taylor, Barrell tries, Hawkey 5 cons).

Club member Fritz with a nice snapper.
Cooler waters Dominik Berghamer
The water in the bay is slowly getting cooler, and while there are still quite a few fish around the snapper fishing has become patchy over the last weeks. Obviously, they are moving back towards their winter quarters in the deeper waters around d’Urville Island. The weather on ANZAC day was perfect and dozens of boats were hanging around the rugged shoreline of this fisherman’s paradise at our doorsteps. Most of them came home with very full bins. If you want to fish there make sure you get the basics right, check the weather forecast, take a big enough boat and have someone aboard who knows his or her way around the area, the waters are treacherous with massive currents and lots of submerged rocks. The same currents attract millions of fish, offering some of the best angling New Zealand has to offer.
To catch snapper try to find fish congregations on your sounder, usually in areas between 60-80m with some current and a bit of structure. Get your drift right and drop your heavy (130g and upwards) slow jigs or flasher rigs on heavy sinkers. Keep in mind that the daily bag limit on the eastern side of the island is only 3 snapper per person. For the kingies, look for areas with massive currents, ideally where they push against a drop off. Mechanical jigging works well, if they are not in the mood try to send down a livie. Strong, high quality gear is essential, a hooked fish will head straight for the reef and bust you off in seconds if you can’t hold it out of the danger zone. The Dawnbreakers Fishing Club is looking forwards to its d’Urville weekend at the Wilderness Resort in early May, if the weather plays along a lot of fun and great fishing are pretty much guaranteed!

Sudoku 413 Hard
Known as the land of opportunity, a former Nelson cricketer has been plying his trade in America and is on the cusp of an international call-up. Marty Kain moved from Nelson to San Diego in late 2017 to coach after believing his childhood dream of playing international cricket was over. However, with the United States team recently earning one-day international status for the first time in its history, the dream is still alive for the 30-year-old. “I have begun to train again and have some upcoming matches planned, my body is fresh and healthier than ever, I am going to give everything in an effort to represent the USA.” Representing the United States will be no easy task though. Despite his wife being from Missouri, so eligibility is no issue, there are still other challenges to overcome. “There are some extremely good cricketers playing currently and being located in San Diego does represent some geographic challenges.” The all-rounder represented Central Districts for six seasons, taking more than 70 wickets and averaging around 20 across all three formats. He is now the owner and head coach of MK Cricket, a coaching, mentoring and tour business based in southern California. The former Stag is passionate about growing the game he loves in his adopted home. Marty says the sport still suffers setbacks in the states due to competition from the more lucrative baseball, however, with the USA just gaining ODI status, excitement and momentum is building.
“There is huge playing numbers and interest out here, the playing population however is a little older, with a lack of youth cricket in many areas and within schools.” He says there is still a significant shortfall in facilities and coaches throughout the country to help advance the standard at all levels. “I am seeing huge progression in San Diego and throughout USA. It’s great to be able to provide professional coaching and mentoring to the
