Miccio is mayor Matheson, Ward, Davy clinch comeback

Andrew Board Aldo Miccio has beaten the incumbent and his deputy to claim the mayoralty of Nelson, by more than 1400 votes.

He will take over the reins on 21 October.

The latest preliminary results, released on Sunday, have Aldo on 6,726 votes, ahead of his nearest rival and deputy mayor, Rachel Reese on 5,302 with current mayor Kerry Marshall, Gary Watson and Mike Ward gaining between 1200 and 1900 votes each.

The result was correctly predicted by a Nelson Weekly poll of ratepayers in early September.

But this election may be known for its returning faces as much as its new ones, as three former councillors have been re-elected after a term on the sidelines.

Paul Matheson, Mike Ward and Eric Davy all reclaimed a seat at the council table after either giving them up, or in Davy’s case, losing it three years ago.

The city also has three brand new councillors in Jeff Rackley, who finished with the second highest number of votes, Ruth Coepland and Kate Fulton.

Former councillor Alan Turley again finished one spot outside

the elected 12, the same agonising fate he suffered in 2007.

Initial results for the election came through at 1pm last Saturday, an hour after the polls closed, and with a lead of more than 1000 votes, Nelson City Council chief executive Keith Marshall called Aldo to let him know he was Nelson’s mayorelect.

Aldo says he then received phone calls from beaten candidates Rachel and Kerry, who congratulated him on the win.

The new council will meet each other as colleagues for the first time this week where returning councillors Rachel Reese, Ian Barker, Gail Collingwood, Pete Rainey, Ali Boswijk and Derek Shaw will offer some stability to a much-changed council.

Voter return for the election was 51.38 percent, excluding special votes, up from three years ago, with a total of 17,361 voting papers counted according to electoral officer, Warwick Lampp.

Results will be finalised today but will not alter the outcome.

Nelson prepares to party this Friday Nelson City is gearing up for a massive night of entertainment on Friday.

The Nelson Arts Festival swings into gear with the Nelson Masked Parade, followed by the Carnivale, bands will play late into the night at Sonic 1903 Live Zone and the Tasman Makos play Northland at Trafalgar Park.

Nelson City Council marketing

coordinator Cam Woods says not quite 3000 people are registered to be a part of the masked parade alone.

“It’s a nice way to start things off with plenty of colour and sound before 12 days of fun during the Nelson Arts Festival.”

The annual parade starts at 5.30pm and will see school children, community groups and

families meandering through the city centre, watched by a crowd of around 15,000.

A new event is the Sonic 1903 Live Zone, being staged after the masked parade to give young people a safe party with zero alcohol.

Meanwhile sports fans will be making their way to Trafalgar Park at 7.35pm for the Makos last game of the season in Nelson.

As the clock struck 10am on the 10/10/10, the Nelson Environment Centre were one of many centres around New Zealand and the rest of the world, taking part in the Global Climate Working Bee in order to get back to a 350 parts per million world.

“The idea is that people reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, and encourage people to make a 10% reduction in their greenhouse gas emissions this year,” says Nelson Environment Centre landscape developer Nick Kiddey.

While the workshops varied around the country, the Nelson Environment Centre had a tree planting day.

“We planted basket willows to create an outdoor classroom. We planted quite a lot of other fast growing shelter trees and the idea

Canadian fire-fighter settling into Nelson nicely Andrew Board Changing roles from a fire captain in Canada, with a force of 900 men, to a “crew man” in Nelson with its 36 staff has required some adjustment for Joe Annett, but it’s not the biggest change for the experienced fire-fighter.

“I’m still getting my head around some of the names you guys have for things, they are the same tools that we use, but with different names. And not seeing the hydrants above the ground is weird,” he says.

Joe is in Nelson on a year-long exchange programme organised within the fire services of New Zealand and Canada. He is staying in Nelson fire-fighter Gavin Stott’s Washington Valley home while Gavin and his family stay in Joe’s Edmonton house.

Joe and his wife have been in Nelson for a little over a month now and he says he is loving life in Nelson. “Choosing to come to New Zealand was, as we say, a no brainer. Australia is another one that Edmonton exchanges with but we didn’t think Australia was a really good idea at all. We like New Zealand for the fact that it’s the size of our province in Canada and everything Canada has New Zealand has, except for the bears and cougars.”

Although Joe has never met Gavin, the two have Skype-ed

Edmonton fire-fighter Joe Annett settling into his new role in Nelson. each other while in each other’s home, an experience that has been “quite funny”. But a new home and terminology aren’t the only differences Joe is noticing.

“This is the first time I’ve been able to walk to work, in Edmonton it’s a half hour each way in my car, here it is a seven minute walk. I also still have a hard time realising that we have 36 guys and a lot of them have been here for as long as I’ve been a fire fighter.

In Edmonton we are dealing with 900 fire fighters from 26 stations and we rotate stations every two

years. But all the little intricacies that we find challenging back home, they are struggling with the same things here. I’ve been entrenched in Edmonton firefighting for 30 years so it’s great to try something else, but essentially we are still putting the wet stuff on the red stuff.”

He says the worldwide fire-fighting “brotherhood” was something he was told of 30 years ago when he first started working in the job but now that he is in a different country he is really noticing how wide it stretches. “I was

told that if you’re ever somewhere and in trouble, stop at a fire station tell them you’re a fire-fighter and they will help you out and this is one of those times. They helped me buy a car, helped me change the oil, it’s amazing.”

While in New Zealand Joe is planning to travel and see as much of the country as possible and has already enjoyed tramping the hills around Nelson. He also is planning to watch a live rugby game and cricket match before his year in Nelson comes to an end.

eDay for Nelson announced eDay is back in Nelson for 2010, it was announced last week. eDay, a free computer recycling event, will be held in over 40 centres throughout New Zealand, including Nelson and Tasman, on Saturday 6 November 2010. Organisers are aiming to divert as much as 1,300 tonnes of electronic waste (e-waste) from landfills, up from last year’s record amount of 976 tonnes.

Now in its fifth year, eDay is the only nationwide community e-waste recycling event for households and small businesses to dispose of old computer equipment in an environmentally sound way.

This year, eDay will be run by the eDay New Zealand Trust, a new independent community trust set up by CANZ members specifically to promote the responsible recycling of electronic waste in New Zealand. eDay will be held from 9am – 3pm at Enza, 484 Nayland Road, Stoke and K & F McLean, 88 Hursthouse Street, Lower Moutere.

Project Funway a run-away success What could Nelsonians do with one white sheet and a bucket-load of imagination?

Quite a bit it would seem, says Fashion Island retail manager Nicola Dolan.

More than 70 people entered the Fashion Funway competition held last Saturday in front of a packed Fashion Island court-yard.

Each contestant was given a king-size white sheet with which to cut, shape and dye into a masterpiece. Nicola says she has been thrilled by the response and the creativity of those who entered.

“I could not believe the creativity and imagination people had from a plain white sheet, I was just blown away.”

Local dealer opens new yard A Nelson car yard has expanded, doubling the size of its yards.

Dowell Wholesale Cars on Rutherford St opened its new yard last week and owner Paul Dowell says the expansion has come about because he has been “flat stick.”

Paul says his first yard, at 144 Rutherford St, was predominately set up to sell cars to other dealers but

he was selling more and more from his yard so he decided to expand it and make the second yard mainly for sales to the public.

He has a wide range of stock catering to most tastes. “The new yard is predominately New Zealand new cars, a lot of which were good quality, well maintained leased cars.

And the old yard has predominately Japanese imports so now we have a great range.”

Tahuna lad earns Scoutings highest award

Blooming good fun at Isel Park Stoke people turned out in their thousands for the annual Isel in Bloom Festival on Sunday.

The festival marks the bloom of many flowers in Isel Park and the first open day of the summer season for Isel House. Community Liaison advisor-recreation, for Nelson City Council, Chris Blythe says the event was again well supported by stallholders and members of the public.

“We had 24 stalls and plenty of free entertainment which is great.

We try to make it an event where people don’t have to shell out loads of money.”

Chris estimated a crowd of between 1500 to 2000. “That’s what we usually get to these types of events.”

The next community event organised by NCC is the Broadgreen Rose Day on November 28.

Chris Vercoe is due to be just the third Nelson Scout in more than 15 years to be presented with the Queen Scout Award.

The award is scouting’s highest and takes about three and a half years to complete. He is the third Venturer of the Nelson Sea Scouts in as many years to complete the award.

To gain the Queen Scout, Chris had to organise a five day tramp through the Queen Charlotte Sounds, complete more than 100 hours of community work and various other challenges. Once he finished that, he was put through a two and a half hour interview last Tuesday night where he was asked general questions on his community, New Zealand and Scouting.

Scout’s zone training leader, Bridget Smith, says Chris has put in plenty of hard work to gain the award.

“It’s not easy and does take a lot of dedication, that’s why there are only a few Scouts each year who complete it.”

Last year only 25 Scouts nationwide earned the award.

Chris, a Nayland College student, says he started the award after seeing a friend earn his and was thrilled to cap off about 12 years in Scouts with its highest honour.

“It’s awesome, there were a few times when it got really hard but I put my head down and got through it.”

Although Chris has earned the award, it will be officially presented to him by the Governor-General in Wellington next year. “That will be the highlight, getting the award and meeting the Governor-General,” says Chris.

Reinventing Amigos Cafe & Bar has reopened with new owners, a new menu and a new feel.

Paul and Colleen Laird have bought the Beach Rd business opposite the Tahunanui playing fields and have spent the past few weeks remodeling and designing a new menu. It will feature a wide range of food, along with the Mexican for which Amigos is known. It will also be open for breakfast and lunch says Paul, creating a laid-back, café-style venue.

“I think the whole reason for the place to exist now is to provide a venue for people to come, sit and chat, talk, read and even have meetings if they want. It really is a place where people can be comfortable.”

Amigos is known for its outdoor area but Paul and Colleen have

also redesigned the interior, giving it a cozy feel.

“It’s quiet, it hasn’t got the hustle and bustle of the central city so it’s not like sitting in a railway carriage with people jostling past all the time. The day time coffee thing is going to be very much a more sedate affair - breakfast, morning coffee.”

While the day time menu will feature lighter fare, including muffins, quiche and slices; the mussel chowder will be a feature.

In the evening it will have salsa, enchilada, tacos etc, but on top of that it will be having salads and other healthy foods and, of course, chips. Paul says Amigos will not be a boozer but will have a range of drinks that all have an interesting story as

well as taste. “If you want a glass of wine with your lunch we have some nice bottles of local wine.

We will have a new beer that Totora Breweries (a Nelson craft beer produced from their own hop garden) is doing for us, that

will be an ‘Amigos beer’ and we are looking at getting other local beers in here as well.”

Amigos opened last Saturday, so if you feel like a nice, relaxed and welcoming place to visit, go see the Amigos on Beach Rd.

diary

• Four container ships, one small bulk carrier that called in three times, seven visits from large fishing vessels and several visits from the smaller ones indicated a busy port this past week. Most of the berths were full at some time.

• The dredge, the Kawatiri, continued its programme of ensuring the port is at the correct depths for chart datum.

• The opening races of both the Cruising Club and Nelson Sailing club appeared to go off without a hitch. An exciting summer of racing is anticipated.

• I must make mention of the Outrigger Club that I interrupted one evening on the water, conducting a spot check to ensure they had the proper safety equipment.

I apologise for interrupting them in rhythmic stroke and congratulate them on their safety awareness and the quality and quantity of the equipment they had.

The way we were A focus on our area and its history

Nelson identities of yesteryear Former Nelson City Councillor Alan Turley contributes an account of some Nelson identities as colourful as the city itself.

They were certainly different people. As I recall, it was in the late 1950’s, early 1960’s that these identities added colour and interest to the human profile of the city area. Who were they?

The first of these identities was known to all and sundry as Phar Lap. She was a wizened up little lady, shabbily dressed with heavy rolled down brown stockings. Every fine weekday morning she would shuffle down in her slippers from her residence in Washington Road and sit at the bottom of the church steps where she would knit away with her size five needles muttering incessantly to herself. If anyone tried to speak to her she would just move away still muttering to herself.

However she did have a special friend who was known as Cycling Sam. Sam would arrive at the church steps sometime after Phar Lap on his immaculate shiny bicycle which was filled with every conceivable appurtenance he could fasten on it. Cycling Sam cut a tall lean angular figure and wore the gaudiest clothes imaginable, including a hugh red plastic stetson hat. He and Phar Lap would sit together on the same seat for anything up to two hours. I never saw a word pass between them. Phar Lap would continue her knitting until they eventually went their separate ways. Cycling Sam once entered in the Mardi Gras best dressed competition and won first prize. He was wearing his normal cycling outfit.

Another well know identity was Archie Gascoine. A very small man about four feet tall with a wizened up face, he wore tennis shoes, oversize baggy shorts and also a selection of stetson hats. He used to push a large wooden billy cart and every morning he would go down to Webley Bros Timber yard in Alma Lane and clear out the waste wood from under the machines. He would pile the wood up in his back yard in Milton Street for firewood. Over the years the pile just grew bigger and bigger.

He was an outstanding pianist who, story has it, would sneak into his neighbours home when they were out just to play the piano. Whenever there were street parades or public functions Archie would be placed on a truck deck with a piano from where he would entertain the cheering populace in great style. Some of the local youths would tease and bait him. He would take so much and then he would react aggressively. On one occasion, he chased after a couple of cheeky kids

through the Maitai River with his clothes still on.

Finally there was Jonky. He was something else again. He had the loudest most penetrating voice I have heard in my life. In his earlier years he had been a road cycling champion and had spent most of his working days on the outside staff of the Council Electricity Department. His favourite pre-occupation was to engage some hapless individuals in conservation in the middle of town - the mayor was his favoured target. His favourite subject was the Council or national politics and his penetrating voice heard over half the town was a signal that Jonky had claimed another victim. My most vivid personal recollection was when I pulled up in my car at the intersection of Hardy and Rutherford Streets. Jonky arrived on his bike, grabbed the open window frame on the inside left front and began berating the council for all he was worth. As I drove off across the intersection he hung on for grim death giving me both barrels without letting up for a moment.

These four distinctive individuals all from Nelson seemed to disappear about the same time.

The last edition of the Nelson Weekly contained an article on street naming by Alan Turley. There were several errors in the text. Nelson Weekly accepts responsibility for those errors.

Work is a comedy show for Nelson doorman Nelson Weekly speaks with head doorman of the Rock Bar nightclub, Nemo, a.k.a TeReremoana Nepe, about dealing with drunks, underages and why he kissed one angry punter in our fortnightly series, Your People, At Work.

I start at 10pm officially but I’m usually here about 9-9.30pm depending on what’s on, just to make sure all the radios are ready to go, bins are set out right.

On a Saturday night we have six doormen at the Rock Bar and at ten o’clock we have a security meeting to go through what we need to look out for.

By 11.30pm we are usually really busy on most Saturday nights.

The biggest hassle for us on the door are intoxicated people and underagers. Most of the intoxicated people we just tell them they’ve had too much and to wander away and most do, you get the odd one where you have to tell them five or six times before it actually sinks in. Underagers are not as big an issue as it used to be, especially with photo id now, you get some good fakes, but you know what you’re looking for. You get the odd dropkick who picks up someone’s id and thinks ‘oh yeah I’ll have a go with this’. One time we had a young Maori boy come up and showed us his id and the photo is of a Pakeha fella on the id, I mean c’mon.

Because we work as a team with

bars in their car and fired five bar staff, two glasskyrockets at them. One sies and the six doormen went into the bar but we we are all keeping an eye put it out, it was alright. on people and you know So we chased this car, the ones that are getting five doorman from difto that level and the next ferent bars.

Sometimes you get in the car was yelling ‘go, ones that slip past and go, go’ and the driver was you have to talk to them saying ‘I’m not shooting and say ‘c’mon mate, it’s the red’. So we opened time to go.’ But most of the doors, got these guys them are pretty good, out and the police arrestit’s not often we have to ed them. We just couldn’t get physical. You get the believe they stopped at odd ones that argue but the lights after firing sky you get a couple of guys my size standing next to Little Rock doorman TeReremoana Nepe (Nemo) rockets at the bars.

What never gets reported is the guys who may come up from Christchurch and gets looked after by every bar in town and they come up to you at the end of the night and say ‘I’ve had an awesome night’, that makes my night every time.

I don’t think there’s any other job like this, you meet so many people and make so many friends.

At the end of the night we all help tidy up, usually until about 4 o’clock. If we’ve had a problem we will have a debrief and talk about it, some of the guys have a drink after work, I don’t. Once I get home it usually takes a couple of hours to wind down before bed so I usually get on the computer or watch a movie and that’s my night.

No rest for dual sporting star Phillip Rollo

Throughout the year Nelson College student Mitchell Drummond has represented Nelson in rugby, basketball and touch, but with summer just around the corner, it’s cricket that is on his mind.

“At the moment I can do both rugby and cricket,” says Mitchell.

“So in the summer it’s cricket, and offseason training for rugby. In the winter it’s rugby and offseason training for cricket. I enjoy touch heaps but I’ll just see where that goes this year.”

Mitchell recently captained the Nelson Bays under-16 rugby team to South Island glory, scoring 24 points from halfback in the final, earning himself player of the tournament.

“It was awesome eh. Being the captain, it just added responsibility and I enjoyed it, and being named player of the tournament was just an honour and real special at the time.”

But this summer Mitchell will pull on the whites for defending one and two-day senior cricket champions, Stoke/Nayland.

Formerly of Nayland College, Mitchell moved to Nelson College at the end of last year.

“The thing that drew me there was the rugby, just playing at that higher level.”

In his debut Press Cup season, Mitchell played second fiddle to Dylan Monopoli, but still featured plenty in the latter end of the season with some impressive cameo performances.

“

It was awesome eh. Being the captain, it just added responsibility and I enjoyed it.

– Mitchell Drummond.

“It was pretty good. I always knew that I was going to be on the bench for the season, but just the experience and going from U15’s at Nayland to Press Cup at Boys was a big step up.”

Mitchell’s combination with first five eight Fletcher Smith for Nelson Bays at age grade level, made his transition in to the Nelson College 1st XV easier.

“I’ve played two years with him at nine and ten with 16’s and going

in to the 1st XV with him made it so much easier after playing with him for so many years.”

Even though Nelson College failed to qualify for the Secondary School National Basketball Championship, Mitchell wasn’t too phased.

“It didn’t worry me eh. I wasn’t going to go to nationals anyway because of rugby. I’m dropping basketball slowly.”

While Mitchell’s two goals for the cricket season are to crack the Central Districts U-18 side, and to be the first choice keeper for the Nelson senior representative side, there’s plenty he wants to achieve in rugby.

“To start for the 1st XV, and hopefully make the New Zealand U17 team. I want to make the South Island regions rugby team, and then the next few years get in to the New Zealand schools team.”

With a bit of gym work, he hopes he will fulfill those goals, as well as a team goal for Nelson College next season.

“Hopefully make the Press Cup final, that’s a major goal and if we do that then anything can happen.”

Nelson College student Mitchell Drummond has just finished his representative rugby season but is slipping straight into senior cricket this weekend. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

for the season but in no way is it any less important or exciting than those earlier. Our track commentator Dave Birdling calls these guys “the crazies of speedway”, while others call them the chariots of doom. Call them what you will but you have to feel nothing but admiration for someone who gets on a three wheeled motorcycle with no brakes and goes flat out around a track with only a concrete wall to keep them in the arena. Anything can happen when these guys get together on the track and it probably will.

The weather last season at North Island tracks meant that a lot of the Stockcar drivers from that part of the country could not participate in last season’s Stock Shock which in turn meant that our competitor numbers were down.

That did not mean that the action was

A G C O N T R A C T O R S

any less on the track and the meeting on March 11 & 12 this season should see this meeting comes right back to where it should be. This is a chance to once again see some of our country’s top stockcars and their drivers go bumper to bumper to take the spoils of victory.

March 26 is the night of our annual King of the Clay meeting while at the next meeting on April 9 we will see the return of the Modifieds at our track.

Modifieds were once a big thing here in Nelson and this will be a chance to once again see these winged warriors take to our track with even more venom than ever injected before.

Also, that night we will see the local Tasman Thunder Stockcar team take on the Canterbury Crushers in their annual contest for the Martin Dumelow Cup affectionally known as “The Pen-

guin”. Can the Nelson guys grab this trophy back which was lost by the narrowest of margins in Christchurch last season?

The last and by no means least meeting of the year will again be the Easter meeting.

This will be held in late April (23 & 24). This is a hugely popular meeting for competitors and fans alike. It attracts drivers from all over the country and is always a great show to end the season with and it never ever fails to please. There will also be club championships and other certain trophies throughout the season, so this season make sure you get your backside trackside and enjoy the best entertainment money can buy here in Nelson.

Scorching start to softball season Senior softball got underway at Saxton Field last Saturday, with 15 teams in action.

Nelson Softball president Derryn French says it was the perfect start to the season. “Having the facility we have, is great, it’s second-to-none in the country and Saturday was a really enjoyable start to the season.”

Several new teams have increased the size of the competition with seven teams now in the men’s reserve grade, up two from last year.

Junior softball gets going this coming weekend, playing in the morning.

Derryn says Saxton Field is also gearing up to host a top quality tournament at Labour Weekend with teams coming from as far United Pirates batter Stuart Colville in ac- away as Christchurch and Wel- Daryl Stratford of the Eagles pitches on tion at Saxton Field.

Football team finishes third

Back row from left; Rosie Peat, Christy Wells, Lydia Langbein and Lucy Harwood. Middle row; Carl Koberstein (assistant coach), Ruby Cunningham, Leah Jacksties, Sophie Daines, Sophie Brown and Carl Rose (Coach). Front row; Kaisa Tsuruta, Lucy Partridge, Juliana Los, Monique Claus (Captain) Francesca Todd Rose, Olivia Miller and Berlyn Smith.

Nelsons Bays 14th grade girls football team recently competed in the South Island Tournament in Rangiora, successfully finishing in third place, one place above the Nelson Development side indicating the strength of girls football in the region.

Coach Carl Rose says the girls played an exciting brand of football and were an attractive team to watch receiving support from other teams and favourable comments from other coaches and supporters.

“It is a credit to the girls that they allied natural talent with hard work adopting a ‘team first‘ approach that paid dividends.”

Every one of the 16 players in the squad made valuable contributions and while reluctant to single out individuals in a team game, team captain Monique Claus was solid in defence, skillful midfielder Juliana Los fully deserved her MVP award and pacy striker Ruby Cunningham was the team’s leading goal scorer.

The 11 team competition was won by a dominant Otago team, second place went to North Canterbury.

Welcome again to your golf updates, news and tips from Craig and Jonti at Sharpies Golf.

Seems it is a great time for many courses around the district for maintenance on greens and fairways etc. Although fustrating at the times it is an important process for the greenkeepers to go through and enables us to enjoy great conditions for the rest of the year.

The pinnacle of world matchplay golf the Ryder Cup has been and gone with the Europeans clinching the trophy in the last match of the competition. For those who don’t understand us golf fanatics watching it on tv, that was exciting!

Locally, many courses are participating in the HSBC 9 hole competitions so get your name down at a local course as no handicap is required but plenty of great prizes are on offer.

Tip of the week: Playing from a downhill lie: Position ball slightly back in the stance, aim to the left of target and allow for the club to be slightly delofted therefore take a club less than you would normally.

Sharpies special: A dozen Wilson Staff 50 Elite golf balls, were $60, this week only $36!!

Current world Top 5 Players: 1) Tiger Woods 2) Lee Westwood 3) Phil Mickelson 4) Steve Stricker 5) Jim Furyk.

Last word: Golf can best be described as a series of endless tragedies obscured by the occasional miracle.

If you have any golfing news, tournaments, tips or results we’d be happy to hear them by emailing editorial@nelsonweekly.co.nz.

See ya in the 19th, Craig and Jonti.
