1700 kids dive into Tryathlon Tahunanui was bubbling with excitement early Sunday morning as 1778 young athletes munched on a free breakfast and waited for their turn to complete at the annual Weet-bix Kids Tryathlon. By mid-morning half the entrants had completed the event at the Tahuna Recreation Ground and the nervous faces were replaced with golden smiles to match the golden medals around their necks as proud parents and grandparents snapped photos of their young stars. The tryathlon attracted a record number of entries from local children aged between 7 and 15 and many had

their medals draped around their necks by basketball star Pero Cameron and cycling ace Alison Shanks. Pierre van Heerden, general manager for Sanitarium, says the event was a huge success and his team was very impressed. “The Nelson event was a fantastic morning, it was great to see kids giving the tryathlon their best shot, trying for a personal best and achieving their own record.” Over the past 21 years more than 240,000 New Zealand children have taken part in a Weet-Bix Kids Tryathlon and it holds the World Record for being the largest children’s sporting event of its kind in the world.

Drink driving loophole to stay Kurt Bayer of APNZ & Andrew Board The transport minister will not close a legal loophole that allows people to drive with open bottles of alcohol in their vehicles. Under existing guidelines people aged 20 or more can drink while driving providing they do not exceed the legal limit. However, drivers under 20 years must adhere to a zero alcohol limit. Last week Nelson Weekly published an ar-

ticle on a local couple that reported a man driving with an open bottle of beer and were dumbfounded to be told by police he

wasn’t breaking the law, causing outrage from a road safety expert. The article was then printed in The New

Zealand Herald, the country’s largest newspaper. In its online poll 61 per cent of readers voted that the loophole should be changed. However, the legal loophole will stay and the legislation was not under review, a spokesman for transport minister Gerry Brownlee said last week. The government’s efforts on reducing car

crashes where alcohol is a factor are focused on “ensuring drivers comply with their legal limit,” says a ministry of transport spokeswoman. Initiatives have included introducing a zero breath alcohol concentration for drivers aged under 20 and repeat drink-drivers. “We would reiterate that the law allows the police to require a driver, at any time, to undergo a breath test to see if they are complying with the legal limit,’’ she says. Road safety campaigner Clive Matthew-Wilson, who also edits car review website, dogandlemon.com, says he was shocked to learn the practice of driving with open bottles was legal and called for a law change. “It’s completely crazy. I just can’t

believe our lawmakers are that stupid,’’ he said. “It’s like saying you’re allowed to drive carrying a handgun as long as you’re not shooting anyone. “One tends to follow the other. If you’re drinking while driving, then it’s highly likely that it’s going to cause serious road safety problems.’’ Ministry figures showed drinking and driving killed 1463 people and injured 24,789 others in crashes on New Zealand roads between 2000 and 2011. Nigel Hampton QC says motorists may not be breaking the law by drinking a beer while driving, but police could have “very good cause’’ to pull them over. “The cop would have every right to ask what they are doing and get them to `blow into this machine please’,’’ he said.

Nelson orca swimmer escapes $10,000 fine

The Nelson marine biology student that swam with six orcas in Wellington’s harbour says he would do it all again in a heart beat, although next time he might be issued with a $10,000 fine. Nelson man Sam Wild, 21, is a former Nayland College student who caught the attention of the nation last week, jumping at the “once in a lifetime” chance to swim within arms reach of a whale pod, which also included a baby orca. He described the experience as “terrifying, accelerating, scary and exciting” but never once thought he was in danger of being attacked. “If I held my arm out I would’ve been able to touch them,” he says. “Everybody else who is studying the same thing [as me] said they would have done the exact same thing in that situation. There are no regrets at all.” But the reaction to Sam’s whale swim has been mixed and he only narrowly avoided a $10,000 fine for breaching a Marine Mammals Protection Regulation that states it

Crime wave hits Nelson REESE in foR MAYoR: Current Nelson City councillor Rachel Reese has confirmed she will be standing for mayor in this year’s elections. Rachel stood for the role in the 2010 election but narrowly lost to Aldo Miccio, who is yet to announce his intentions for the October elections. She is the second person to announce a candidacy for the position after police officer Brian McGurk.

A one-man crime wave made its way through Nelson over the weekend as a man tried to burn down two buildings and then start an aeroplane, it is alleged. Police arrested a 24 year old Nelson man for the damage which all happened in the early hours on Saturday morning and caused considerable damage to The Tender Centre building on Vanguard St,

behind VTNZ. Police were first called to a suspicious fire at storage units off Nayland Rd shortly before 1am, where the building suffered minor damage. About 1.30am they were then called to the fire at Vanguard St and about four hours later a vehicle was reversed through the front doors of the Public Trust building in Buxton Square. The driver drove

the vehicle out and fled the scene. Just before 6am police were called to suspicious activity at Nelson Airport where he was arrested trying to start an aeroplane with a screwdriver. The man appeared in Nelson District Court yesterday on two counts of arson, two counts of burglary, two counts of intentional damage and unlawful interference with an aircraft.

Garin College teachers Paul Bucknall, Catherine Northage, Leanne Reiha and teacher aide Justine Butler demonstrate against the disastrous Novopay system that has wrongly paid staff who work for the ministry of education, including local staff at all of Nelson’s schools, since it was introduced last year. Teachers at Garin say they’ve had

enough of the bungled pay packets and want the government to be held to account for implementing a dud system. Principal John Boyce says he supported their protest against the system which he describes as “total chaos.” Rex Smith, principal at Nayland College says although his teachers hadn’t publicly protested, the system was “getting pretty

frustrating”. “It’s had quite an impact on the amount of time it’s taken each pay round and then on top of that you have people not getting paid correctly. The time it takes to report the errors and then the next pay round nothing is done about it and then the following round nothing is done about it. It’s very frustrating.” Photo: Sinead Ogilvie.

cRUiSE Ship in ToWn: The HapagLloyd cruise ship MS Bremen arrived in the region yesterday, March 11, dropping off passengers at both Totaranui and Kaiteriteri. The 188 passenger ship will spend the day in the region as part of its world tour. On board will be mostly German passengers, with the Bremen noted as an “expeditionary” ship meaning its passengers are generally more active and adventurous than average cruise passengers. DoggY DAY oUT: The Nelson SPCA is calling all local dog owners to bring their beloved pooches along to Dogs’ Day Out – a day of fun and entertainment for dogs and the whole family. The event will take place this Sunday from 10am to 2pm at Isel Park, Stoke, and will include a short group walk, fun dog show, agility demonstrations, a petting zoo, and a whole lot more.

Victim happy with police after arrest A Nelson victim of burglary says she’s thrilled police have caught the offender. Emma Brown had her family home broken into last month, one of 12 burglaries in the Britannia Heights and Princes Dr area, and she’s relieved police have caught up with the offender who has since admitted the thefts. “I’m really impressed that the police caught him. They spent quite a lot of time with us, so they obviously put a picture together of what happened and got him. They were brilliant to deal with.” Emma says it’s the first time she has been burgled in Nelson and although they only took a few things including an ipod and a child’s money box, she is calling the experience her family’s “lucky break”. “We didn’t lose anything major and not our family heirlooms. I felt pretty sick that they took my child’s money box but again that is replaceable. We’ve since added new locks to make our home much more secure as well.” She urged other Nelsonians to take

care. “I think he targeted our area and went bang, bang, bang through the whole neighbourhood. In Nelson it’s very easy to get complacent. We paid the price for that.” She says she was shocked that it happened in Nelson and when she realised they’d been robbed there was a wave of emotions. “My first thought was ‘are they still here’ and then ‘crikey, what else have they taken’ and then I called the police. “My next thought was ‘they now know what we do have and will they come back?’ So we didn’t sleep very well that night. It was scary, thinking what could happen next. Every bump in the night you wake up.” Nelson police say the offender was caught in Christchurch after they were able to lift his fingerprints off one of the houses he robbed and he was traced from that.

Final touches for trolley derby

The annual Robertson’s Trolley Derby is only a week out and the trolleys will be extra bright after they were given a final lick of paint over the weekend. Tim Bayley, president of the Nelson Trolley Derby Club and organiser of the annual derby says the ‘paint your wagon’ day held on Sunday was a great way for event sponsor Resene, who donated the use of paint, brushes and space, to get involved in the event, which is set to be another huge success. “Things are really coming together now, we are

only a week away. It’s nice for the kids to be able to paint their trolleys before the event.” William Daniel, 8, was there with his father Richard painting his trolley “racing red” because it was his favourite colour. He says his trolley was made at a cost of just $9 from a mixture of materials from the recycling centre, including a golf cart welded together with a children’s buggy. Robertson’s Trolley Derby will kick off this Saturday at 10am from the top end of Collingwood St.

Richmond Mall Shopkeeper to walk 100km non-stop manager accepts new job Andrew Board

Richmond Mall manager David Hill is stepping down from his job after ten years, accepting a similar position in his hometown of Tauranga. David, who began his role in 2003 when it was two separate buildings, will link up with the Richmond Mall’s current owners Tinline Properties at Palm Beach Plaza on April 1 after they acquired the shopping centre earlier this month. He described the Palm Beach Plaza as a developers dream, comparing it to the Richmond Mall of the 90s, and says he is excited to be returning home. “We want to take Papamoa from Richmond Mall 1995 through to Richmond Mall 2013. I David Hill is sayreally enjoy the develing goodbye to the opment side of things, Richmond Mall. putting a sense of organisation around the chaos of construction.” David was proud of the work he did while in Richmond and highlighted its growth over the ten years. “Connecting the malls was the turning point for retail in this region. It really lifted the bar and it was great to oversee all of that. Foot count when I got here was just over a 1,000,000 people per year, now it’s up to 5,500,000. It’s been a fun journey.”

Nelson’s Rachel Douglas is preparing to walk the distance from Nelson to Motueka and back in just 36 hours as part of the Oxfam Trailwalker, a charity walk around Lake Taupo next month. Rachel, 61, is the only Nelsonian in a team of three other Wellington women, but it includes her 66 year old sister, niece and another friend. She says the event is gruelling and she has been training for months for it, including four trips to the capital to train with her team mates. She says she has been a strong walker for years and has even walked the 305 kilometres across England before but this will be her biggest walking challenge. “I’ve done a lot of walking, masses and masses of walking but never anything as long as this,” she says. The Oxfam Trailwalker is an annual fundraising event organised and promoted by Oxfam New Zealand and aims to raise $1million each year for projects mainly in the Pacific. So far 298 teams of four people have registered and each team has a support crew, making for a massive event.

ry. At each checkpoint the whole team must cross together so teams don’t get split up and Rachel – who owns Black Cat Vintage with her daughter Sarah – says she has travelled to Wellington for training so she can “gel” with her teammates ahead of the big weekend in early April. “We’ve also got a lot of stupid games to play along the way because it can be a bit boring walking that long. We’ll tell stories and try to keep our minds busy. Some of the girls have ipods but you do have to focus on walking because we want to average about 5km per hour so we need to keep walking fast.” The team is called Team Recon: 4 Little Misses and aimed to raise $2000 for the cause, but has since upped it to $4000. Rachel says the team has so far raised $3092.15 thanks to a quiz night, movie night and donations from members of the public. She says she’d like to encourage any locals who may want to donate to her team to visit www. oxfamtrailwalker.org.nz or pop into Black Cat Vintage to make a donation. “At the end of the day that’s why we’re doing it, we want to raise as much as we can so hopefully Nelsonians can chip in a bit of money and help us get to the $4000 total.”

Blokes open their sheds for fundraiser

Ever wondered what goes on inside a man’s shed? Well, all will be revealed this Sunday when ten hobbyists and collectors open their garage doors to the public for a fundraising trail that maps through Nelson and Richmond. Thousands of beer bottles, once made to case alcohol, now stored away in a garage and worth hundreds of dollars to collectors will be on display at one of ten stopovers with others showcasing model railways, Model T Fords, trucks and tractors, speed bikes, tools, and much more. Lindsay Jukes has thousands of collectables, including bottle openers, patent cures and medicine bottles, glass cups and locally designed tea pots, although his first passion was for beer bottles, one of which is worth a staggering $1200. The Blokes in Sheds Trail is a fundraiser for the Life Education Trust which teaches health education

to children at most schools in Nelson. Because the non-profit organisation is not government funded, it relies on fundraising events such as this to continue to operate. Organiser Marg Palmer hopes a successful inaugural event will springboard to more down the line. “You have garden and kitchen trails but this is something for the blokes. We thought this was something different we could do and hopefully we will claim it as ours,” she says. Tickets for the trail can be purchased for $15 at any ANZ branch, Specsavers in the Richmond Mall, Baku on Queen St and from Mitre 10 Mega. To win a free double pass email “Blokes in Sheds” and your contact details to editorial@ nelsonweekly.co.nz. The winner will be drawn on Friday. For more information on the event please phone 544 4716.

Art venues now owned by ratepayers Two of the city’s major performing art venues are now in the hands of the Nelson City Council it was confirmed last week. The Nelson School of Music and the Nelson Historic Theatre Trust, which operates the Theatre Royal, have agreed to the transfer of ownership of the venues to the council after a proposal in last year’s long term plan. The council will be responsible for maintaining the buildings and has also set aside funding towards the upgrade for earthquake strengthening and refurbishment of NSOM.

Around 60 kids got a glimpse of the life that lurks in our ocean on Sunday. The community guided snorkel day held at Cable Bay was organised by experienced marine reserves coordinator Megan Wilson with the Department of Conservation and was one of several events held to mark Seaweek last week. Megan says Seaweek this year was particularly aimed to spotlight what lies under the surface of the sea as well as learning how to restore our coastal habitats. “People are being encouraged to celebrate our seas and oceans during Seaweek by taking a closer look at the marine environment – from coastal habitats to rock pools and deeper waters.”

Sinead Ogilvie Reporter

reporter@nelsonweekly.co.nz

She says the perfect weather that held out all day made the event very successful and she was pleased to see such a great turnout to the first event of it's kind. “The event is all about enjoying a snorkelling experience, introducing people to what is out there and connecting them to their marine environment. There is a marine reserve just around the corner and people should know how to look after it." Isaballa McLintock, 11, of Tahuna says it wasn’t the first time she had been snorkelling but she was really enjoying exploring Cable Bay.

Nelson turns purple

Nelson Intermediate did their bit for charity on Friday when they turned up for school in bright purple clothing. The students signed on to support Purple Cake Day, a local charity event that supports children in developing countries to get the education they need, break the poverty cycle and create a better future for themselves. As well as dressing up in purple the students took it upon themselves to come up with innovative ways to draw attention and fundraise for the charity including online fundraising and creating wearable art. Maya Speers,

11, created a Purple Cake Day website and had managed to raise over $600, which will go towards the $100,000 goal to help children in Haiti, Nepal, and Kenya. Xan Twissell, 10, made a purple cupcake costume and says it was “a really good day to have fun and think about other people”. Aunty Lisa, co organiser of the schools cake day activtities says the event was about getting the children to think globally and about things that they may take for granted that other childeren don’t have.

Double glazing for wooden windows a 'win-win' As the cost of winter heating continues to be in the headlines, a local glass expert believes he has the answer for those wanting to keep their timber window frames but also double glaze their windows. Russell Gilden, director of Richmond Glass, has joined forces with a team of glaziers from around NZ to design a "revolutionized" double glazing system that is being offered to owners of older homes and businesses. The thermawood method is the only correct way to retro fit timber frames and is ideal for older homes which Russell says are often cold and drafty. “With rising energy

costs, more traffic on the road and safety at the forefront of our expectations as a community, it pays to use double glazing to achieve a warmer, quieter and safer home or business.” Russell says the thermawood method used at Richmond Glass will allow local families to enjoy all the benefits of double glazing while retaining the unique look of their character home. “While wooden-framed windows look great, they suck out expensive heat, let in drafts and noise and require endless wiping required due to condensation. The thermawood double glazing system eliminates that.” Russell Gilden, of Richmond Glass, with a double glazed window.

Scottish dancers celebrate 60 years in Nelson The Nelson Scottish Country Dancing Club is about to celebrate 60 years and is hoping for an influx of new members to help them do it in style. The club has around 18 members, who dance once a week at the YMCA in Victory and its president Ian McEwan says they are encouraging people to come along and give the social dance a go. “Come along, enjoy yourself and it’s a gentle way to stay fit without any pressure to wear lycraa or high-vis. We’re definitely not in the demolition derby style of dance. You don’t need any equipment and it doesn’t matter what your fitness level is, we cater for everyone.” Ian says the dance is known as “Scottish aerobics” but dancers can put as much energy as they like into it and dancers don’t need partners as they all swap around anyway.

Club secretary Kelly Walker says Scottish dancing is a good laugh. “Fun is really what it’s all about, there’s lots of hilarity, especially when things go wrong,” she jokes. The Nelson group is one of four in the region, with others in Motueka, Stoke and Richmond. Kelly says this year is a big one for the group with an annual high tea and celebration dance to be held later this year for its 60th birthday. Dancers from all over the top of the south will attend and a band will be brought up from Christchurch for the event. The first beginners night is free and is on March 21 at the YMCA, opposite Victory Square. For those wanting to find out more they can call Kelly on 547 5721 or just come along on the night with comfortable clothes and flexible shoes at 7.30pm

Women gather at Fairfield House to celebrate International Women's Day. Photo: Sinead Ogilvie.

Get-together reenacts Fairfield gathering A photo of 77 women seated on the veranda of Fairfield House 100 years ago has inspired the local Nelson Multicultural Council to recreate the historic photo to celebrate International Women’s Day. The original photo, taken on March 12 in 1913 was taken during a New Zealand Women's Christian Temperance Union garden party which was celebrating the twentieth anniversary of women having the right to vote says Karolina Gorton, who came up with the idea to retake the photo to reflect the changing demographic of Nelson. “I looked at that photo and I thought about the last hundred years since it was taken and how the situation in the world has dramatically changed since 1913.

Falcons finish season with a draw

Phillip Rollo

Nelson Falcons captain Mark Johnston was full of praise when reflecting on the side’s inaugural ASB Youth League campaign, which ended with a 1-1 draw against Team Wellington on Saturday. Mark, who was one of two over-age players in the squad, says everything from the players, coaches, supporters, sponsors and volunteers exceeded all expectations, epitomised by the fact the side was disappointed with its overall fourth placing in the southern conference. The former Canterbury United defender says early expectations were to just be competitive, but having gone the entire season undefeated at home, Nelson deserves its place in the league long term. “If you look at what we’ve come from to be disappointed with finishing fourth is pretty amazing,” he says. “We thought we would really struggle. It’s bittersweet really; with a bit of luck we could have done a hell of a lot better.” The Falcons were in a strong position going into the second round of the competition, before losing 2-1 to Canterbury United down in Christchurch when Hal Fish was shown an early red card. “We were in a good position 1-nil up and that was a huge turning point. Unfortunate-

ly it was one of those things where we just didn’t have that bit of luck.” Losing defenders Erik Panzer and Fox Slotemaker after just a few rounds was a key loss, as was the unavailability of New Zealand Under-17 players Ross McPhie and Cory Brown who were instead made to play in the northern conference. “With the players we had we made a good fist of it and I’m really proud of their efforts. Without having a go at New Zealand Football, I think Ross and Cory would have benefited not only our team but they would have improved with regular football.” Exciting forward Omar Guardiola, vice captain Harry Tod-Smith and midfielder Tore Waechter were highlighted by their skipper as the players of the season and he expects all three to reach the ASB Premiership within the next year or two. Having played in that league himself, he was also confident a Nelson-based side would have the ability to match it with Waikato and YoungHeart Manawatu – whom he said were no better than a top Mainland Premier League side. He was thankful for a lot of the volunteer work that went on behind the scenes and says the crowd at the first game was larger than what turned up to watched Canterbury United’s ASB Premiership semi-final last season.

Waimea win combined softball final Business people It was a double whammy when the Waimea College Sonix team took out the combined senior men's and women's grade of the Nelson Softball competition on Saturday. Having gone through the season with only two losses they faced the Stoke Eagles Women's team in the first semifinal, one team who had beaten them previously. The Eagles fielded a strong team with the return from injury of key players Megan Thompson and Natalie Ewing. However, the Sonix started out strongly in their first turn at bat when Tyler Power slugged a right field home run to score two and Brody Lindbom followed that with another solo homer in the second. The Eagles then pulled one back in the bottom of the second when pitcher/ coach Daryl Stratford put an automatic over the fence but they could add no more. The next three innings continued uneventfully until the Sonix scored again in the top of the sixth and held up the Eagles in their last two at bats to end the game 4-1 and progress to the final. The Royals Maverix also advanced to the final with an 18-8 win over the Nelson United Warriors. The Maverix jumped out to an 18-4 lead in the second innings, aided by a home run from Martin Gay with two on base and brought on a pitching change to ease

The Sonix let rip in their turns at bat, scoring five in each of the first and second innings and three in the third, including home runs to Gavin Peattie and Brad Fisher, Brad's with two on base. The Maverix's big hitting lineup had no answer for the pitching power of Lincoln McBride and although they managed to score one in the third innings it was not enough to avoid the 13-1 mercy rule defeat. Their only highlights were shortstop Kerehama Milroy's classy double play and another awesome effort to hustle Travis Rowberry of the Royals Maverix in action from his position to take during the side's senior men's and women's com- a catch in shallow right bined grade final loss.

A group of Nelson businesspeople are showing their rugby knowledge – or lack of it – in a new feature in the Nelson Weekly. Eleven locals are taking part in the Super 15 picking competition, each week attempting to pick the winners of each Super 15 rugby game that week. Already the competition is in its fifth week with 2 Degrees business manager Shane Laurence, also a former player with Waimea Old Boys, leading the pack, picking an incredible 18 out of 22 games. Up until this past weekend Shane had picked every game correctly. He says he’s not sure what his secret is but does admit to reading up a bit on the teams each week. Others taking part are Brad McNeill and Ben Douglas of Johnson Associates South accountancy firm, current Nelson College coach and Russells Curtains and blinds owner Bill Liddell, Trailways manager Gary Munro, who also manages Nelson age group rep teams and Vern Mardon and Liz Clark of Surety Plus. Liz is also the only female in the bunch. Marist man Ben Nalder is sitting near the middle of the group, as is Liquorland Nelson's Gavin Snowball and rounding out the bunch is Paul Brockie, known for his skills and knowledge of another footballing code and Weekly editor Andrew Board. The competition will run for the duration of the Super 15, which is due to finish in August. The overall winner of the competition will take home an advertising voucher in the Nelson Weekly and some other goodies.

Surf lifesavers on the ball at competitions Nelson’s surf lifesavers have enjoyed a successful fortnight, winning medals at the South Island surf lifesaving championships and the K-bar adventure race in Kaiteriteri the following weekend. Nine members of the Nelson club attended the South Island champs in Christchurch at the end of last month with club captain Ed Steenbergen winning two gold’s and a bronze medal in the masters category and several other members making the finals in the beach flag competition. Ed says the experience was fantastic for the young competitors. “The standard is just so high down there, they’re competing against each other every weekend, it’s really good to see. When we were down there I organised a coaching session from our guys and

the tips you get from the elite coaches is amazing. Just the little tips make a huge difference.” Just a week after those champs – won overall by Dunedin club Sinclair – members of the Nelson club competed at the K-bar adventure race with Morgan Paurini and Cullum Paurini both winning their age group. Ed finished third in the masters group. Ed says the club is extremely strong now with 36 active lifeguards and 53 kids in the “nipper” programme. He says the club recently received funding from KiwiSport to buy ten new paddles and the new gear is helping the young athletes reach their potential. “We’ll look to do more competitions and get more coaching and continue to improve over the years,” he says.

Swimming course going well A water safety and survival skills course that some senior Nayland College students are on is going well and the students are on track to complete the programme as planned, say its organisers. Nelson Weekly ran a photo of the students on their first day of the assistant swim teacher award course last month but mistakenly reported they were being taught life-guard skills not water safety and survival skills as part of their course. Swimming New Zealand’s Brenda Goulter says the students need to do 20 hours of observing or teaching swimming and they will then be assessed taking a swimming lesson with students completing their qualification after up to eight months. Brenda says the students are enjoying the course and she hopes more schools will take on the programme. “It’s been going really well at Nayland and gives Gateway students interested in the aquatic environment and would potentially like to be swimming teachers or follow the pathway.”

Top tourny at golf club

Harvey Norman Fourball Championship tournament director Norma Adams lines up a shot with Norman Rapson and Keir Wilkinson in the background. Photo: Andrew Board. Around 130 golfers from around Nelson will battle it out for top prizes and bragging rights at the Harvey Norman Fourball Championship at the Nelson Golf Course this weekend. The tournament is now in its 31st year and teams of two will play a round of golf as a team on Saturday and then as individuals on Sunday. The joint best score from the first day and the two individual scores on the Sunday will then be added and handicaps taken into account. Tournament director Norma Adams says the tournament is one of the best attended in the region and it’s a lot of fun. “It’s very fun but also very competitive. You can go out and have a re-

ally good game yourself on the Sunday and your partner comes in with a bad score and ruins it for you.” Major sponsorship from Harvey Norman means there’s plenty of huge prizes up for grabs and club captain Keir Wilkinson says they will take entries up until the morning of the tournament and are expecting a similar number to the 64 they had last year. Entry can be made by emailing nelson@ golf.co.nz or by calling the pro shop on 548 5029. He says golfers should pick your partner carefully. “It’s always good to play with a friend rather than your spouse. Friends are more forgiving, or you can at least make new ones,” he joked.

Stoke Rugby Proud to be associated with Nayland College rugby

Stoke Rugby Club is looking ahead to a promising 2013 with its senior men’s and women’s sides harbouring realistic title hopes and its junior wing as big as ever. Stoke’s senior division one side have a few additions this year, notably a new head coach and some new players after the withdrawal of Marist in this year’s senior competition. The club will be hoping the new signings can help them go one further than 2012, where they finished as runners up after a stellar run to make the playoffs before losing to Nelson in the finals. Last season Stoke struggled with a front row but the incoming players from Marist should bolster this part of

Stoke’s game with much of last year’s squad returning to the fold, including Shawn Begg, Jacob Beleski, Jared Aberhart, Chad Lowrie and the evergreen Stu Tunnicliff. Outstanding flanker Tevita Koloamatangi is currently playing in the United States but is expected to return to the club midway through the season. The team’s new coach is Willem van Niekerk, a South African who has played all over the world and coached senior club rugby and Press Cup teams in Christchurch before moving to Nelson late last year. The division one team will kick off its season on April 6 and club captain Mal Lowrie says the team in confident of a good season.

“I believe we will field a reasonably strong A side, we’ll be up there mate, we won’t be seller dwellers I’m sure.” The senior women’s side have finished runners up in the previous two years and will determined to win back the title they last won in 2010. The side will feature the majority of the players from last year’s team. The biggest struggle may be the number of teams they have to play with other clubs unsure if they will have enough players. The senior division two side competed well last year, despite pressure on players from the division one team but will be looking for an improvement this year and Mal says there are a number of former Nayland College players in

er ships, a general carrier for steel and timber, 11 large fishing vessel movements and several smaller ones, and the navy on the HMNZS Taupo kept the port moving last week. • Here is copy of the report from the Harbour Master’s patrol boat. “The first six paddle boarders we came across this morning were in the harbour entrance wearing light summer clothing and no Personal Flotation Devices. They had not been told about float belts or been offered them. On speaking to these boarders, reply was "anyhow, we are all good swimmers and we will not fall off anyway". • The weather was calm with no wind and the tide was now beginning to make. We moved away to retrieve a large tree branch some 60 metres away when we heard a commotion behind us and turned around to find one of the boarders had fallen in. We moved back over to him and despite several attempts, he could not get back onto his board. All of a sudden, my remarks regarding no flotation device became very apparent to all of them as the situation became quite sombre to them. He finally managed to swim/paddle ashore, quite puffed out and remount his board after a rest.” • A $200 fine for those that are stupid enough to flagrantly disobey the by-law and be reckless with regard to the safety of others seems futile. • Any business that hires a paddle board has a responsibility of care. Should you be dealing with one that doesn’t supply the appropriate PPE my suggestion is to call the Harbour Master’s office and walk away from them. • The above is a classic example of why we care about you wearing a flotation device. If not save your life it will at least assist you get back on your board. Stay safe, wear a lifejacket.
