Andrew Board We’ve had the Rugby World Cup, the Cricket World Cup, the Crusaders and the Blacksticks, but deputy mayor Paul Matheson says a British and Irish Lions game could surpass them all. Nelson City Council has allocated half a million dollars in its long term plan if Nelson can secure a game during the Lions rugby tour to New Zealand in 2017. Paul says the region has proven itself as a place that can host international sporting events. “Running on the success of the Rugby World Cup and Cricket World Cup we’re saying to ourselves ‘we get a good return, so lets have a shot at it’.” The tour is one of the largest sports tours in the world and sees thousands of rugby fans from the UK and Ireland follow the team for more than a month. The Lions only visit New Zealand every 12 years and Nelson has thrown its hat in the ring to host one of the games. “I think the Lions tour will attract more interest because they have that base support that travels the world,” says Paul. “It could be bigger than the rugby or cricket world cups because you’ll see more of them on the ground and they love a hamburger or two.” Nelson Tasman Tourism’s Lynda Keene says if a game was to come to Nelson it would be a huge boost for the industry, with the game likely to be broadcast live to a huge audience in the UK, a traditional tourism market for Nelson. wheelchairs mobility scooters walkers/canes electric bed/hoists lift assist chairs bathroom solutions incontinence products daily living aids/products

‘Biggest Anzac Day ever’ This Saturday’s Anzac Day commemorations will be the biggest ever, says the local RSA president, with between 5000 and 10,000 people expected. This year marks 100 years since the New Zealand and Australian soldiers landed on the beaches at Gallipoli during World War One. To commemorate the day the Nelson RSA, along with Nelson City Council, is hosting its dawn service

“No, I’m not. Obviously its very important to New Zealanders, but there are some exhibitions in the library and museum that I will go to.”

“Yes, I’ll be going to the one in Nelson.”

“Probably go to the dawn service. I’m English so I’m not involved with family, but I think it’s become New Zealand’s national day.”

“We go to the dawn service, my husband’s father was a war veteran.”

Biggest crowd ever expected for Nelson’s dawn service FROM PAGE 1 RSA’s district president, Derek Nees, says this year’s dawn service will be particularly poignant. “It’s the centennial of an event which marked the beginning of nationhood of both New Zealand and Australia. People will want to come to remember and commemorate those who didn’t return from Gallipoli and other battles of the war.” The service will also include live music by brass and pipe bands, and the unveiling of a field of remembrance - nearly

600 white crosses, each individually named for someone from the Nelson province who died in or as a result of World War I service. The crosses will be laid out on Trafalgar Park behind a temporary cenotaph. In other firsts, plans are underway to fly a Tiger Moth and replica Mustang over Trafalgar Park at the conclusion of the service, after which people are invited to stay on at the park to buy breakfast from food vendors. They will be able to wander through the Field of Remembrance and place their poppies on the cenotaph. Trafalgar Park will open this Saturday

at 5.15am for the service. The dawn parade will march down Trafalgar St from Millers Acre to Trafalgar Park at 5.45am with the dawn service to begin at 6am. The Anzac Day commemorations will follow on from a successful Poppy Day last Friday. Barry Pont says takings from the day were up on last year, although the final figure had yet to be calculated. Barry says the extra attention on Anzac Day has had a positive impact on Poppy Day collections. All money raised from Poppy Day goes to help returned servicemen and women.

Correction to car crash article Last week Nelson Weekly reported that a dog running onto the road had a part to play in a car crash on Lower Queen St. Police say it is not the case and the car drove into the back of a van which had pulled into the centre of the lane to turn right.

Oil companies eye conservation parks Oil and gas exploration companies could be drilling in two conservation parks in the Tasman district, after they were included in the latest tenders for petroleum exploration permits announced by the government. Ninety-one square kilometres of Mount Richmond Forest Park and 417 square kilometres of Victoria Forest Park are included in the 2007 square kilometre West Coast Basin block titled 15WEC-R1. The block extends from Murchison north to Mt Richmond and is one of seven included in the tender which was announced by the Minister of Energy and Resources, Simon Bridges, on March 30.

Simon Bloomberg Reporter

simon@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Tasman mayor Richard Kempthorne says if any oil companies were interested in exploring land in the district he’d be looking at the positives. “It could be a good thing for the region,” he says. “It certainly has possibilities for job creation in the region and my understanding is that if someone did put their hand up there would be a resource consent process before it goes ahead.” He says the consent would look at environmental issues, but if the effects were deemed to be “minor” he would be keen to

see it happen. “If it can be well managed then I’m happy for it to go ahead because it will be good for our economy.” The New Zealand Petroleum and Minerals website states that the West Coast block “is prospective for oil, gas and coal seam gas”, with discoveries dating back to the very early 1900s. An exploration permit gives the permit holder the rights to search for commercially recoverable reserves of oil and gas in a specific area. The activities allowed under this permit include sampling, geological studies, seismic surveys and drilling exploratory wells for oil or gas.

SEXUAL ASSAULT IN NELSON: A woman was allegedly sexually assaulted near the Maitai River Thursday night after socialising at a Bridge St bar. She left the bar with a man she had been socialising with between midnight and 1am walking down Collingwood St and on to Riverside Drive. The man is alleged to have sexually assaulted the woman and then left. Police were alerted shortly after. HOTEL VERANDA DAMAGE: The Wakatu Hotel veranda has been damaged and has the potential to collapse, says Nelson City Council. Council staff are investigating the damage. Coowner of the hotel, Margaret Monopoli, says she believes the damage is due to the old age of the building. She says all the commotion has caused an increase in customer numbers to the bar. KID SNAPPED BEHIND THE WHEEL: A goat has been snapped behind the wheel at a Nelson Supermarket car park. The image surfaced on Facebook and shows Otis the goat and Spot the dog sitting in the front seats of a car outside Fresh Choice in Nelson. Owner of the goat, Miranda Levett, says she often gets people doing a double take when she takes her goat for rides in the car. “He loves car rides, he hangs his head out the window and his big floppy ears flap in the wind.”

WWI fair recreated Locally Owned and Operated

One hundred years on from World War I, Founders Heritage Park is recreating a distinctly Nelson war-time fair. During the First World War, events were held in Nelson to raise funds for wounded soldiers, including street parades down Trafalgar St, signing of the Red Cross flag, Apple Day, and patriotic concerts in the Theatre Royal. One of those events – Apple Day – will come to life again this year with a range of exhibitions and activities, including variety shows of comic sketches and songs of the time, through to a street tea party with games including apple bobbing and hoop ‘n stick. Organiser Maria Anderson says the Apple Day was a uniquely Nelson event. “Apples were a really big thing in Nelson back then. It was all about ‘bring your apples after the harvest and we’ll on-sell them and the profits will go to the families of wounded soldiers’.” She says the plan was to recreate the community spirit of the home front from 100 years ago.

Community bands will be playing on the village green and selected produce will be available from the Farmers Market. Nelson’s local reenactment army group will also be dispatched. Cars and motorbikes from the WWI era will also be there. Members of Nelson’s Vintage Car Club will present cars including a 1912 Rover, a 1915 Ford Model T, a 1918 Buick and a 1911 Mitchell. And four bikes from NZ Classic Motorcycles will also be on display, including a 1918 Excelsior and sidecar, 1914 Royal Ruby, 1911 Royal Enfield, and a 1915 New Hudson. Other partners include the Red Cross, who will be recreating the Red Cross Flag Signing where the public can sign the flag, a replica of the original flag signed in 1915 has been supplied by Nelson Provincial Museum. Local wine group Wakatu Small Sips are also planning an apple juicing demonstration. The fair will be held on Monday, April 27 at Founders Heritage Park, from 10am to 3.30pm. Entrance is $5 per person or $10 for families.

Cameras the latest tool in bid to clean up Victory Andrew Board A year into a campaign to “Keep Victory Safe”, the two women charged with making it happen say positive changes are happening. Their work has led to several initiatives in Victory, the latest being a CCTV camera which was installed last week. The camera was in response to results of a survey which showed that people felt unsafe at Victory Square and wanted it to be cleaned up. Gayle Petch and Marcia Higgs are both on fixed term contracts with the Victory Community Centre. Marcia finishes next month, while Gayle’s contract ends in December. They say their roles were created after the community centre spotted a need. “A year ago there was a lot of intimidating behaviour at the square. People told us they felt unsafe letting their kids use the playground and there were young people here who would approach people asking for cigarettes or money,” says Gayle. The pair also put many of the problems down to the Victory Liquor Centre that is currently closed but has reapplied for its off-licence. Gayle says fighting to keep the store shut is now a

Photo: Andrew Board. focus. “The difference has been huge since the liquor shop closed. There are no broken bottles in the park, there aren’t people sitting here drinking. It’s cleaned up the square a lot,” says Marcia. Kindra Douglas, of the Victory Community Centre, was the person who first identified a need for an initiative to make Victory a safer place. She’s thrilled with the results. “I guess over the past two or three years we’ve noticed a slight increase in what we’d say was unsafe behaviour. There

were a few little fires around the campus, there were burglaries at the schools and then we had the terrible attack at the community gardens,” she says. “I guess that good reputation that we had started to develop was being eroded.” Marica says the project has been a success. “More people are using the park, it’s a nice atmosphere, it’s just so different. You can’t always see the work you’ve done, you can’t always put it in a report or on paper, you just know and it just evolves over time.”

Eion won his first national title last year when he teamed with Storm to win the long-head final in Geraldine. The champion combination showed they hitting good form again as they delivered a near perfect display to win the long-head at the Waimea champs with 96 points. Eion also teamed up with Pat to win the short-head and yard, and finish second in the long-head at the Waimea champs. He also finished third and fourth in the shor-head with Bell and Storm respectively, completing a successful two-days at the club's champs. Although championships were dominated in both numbers and results by the blokes, Upper Moutere's Julie Webb-Brownlee and Pixie showed that dog trialling is not exclusively the domain of males.

Helicopter open day takes off

BRASS BAND CONCERT: Nelson City Brass is hosting an Anzac Day variety concert at the Theatre Royal this Saturday. The concert is for people of all ages and will include wartime melodies and traditional sing along tunes such as Pokarekare Ana, several movie themes, a little folk and some recent popular compositions. A special feature of the concert is New Zealand composer Dwayne Bloomfield’s ‘Behold the Narrows from the Hill’ which tells the moving story of the New Zealand Infantry Brigade’s capture of Chanuk Bair on Gallipoli in 1915. The concert starts at 7.30pm on April 25. Tickets for sale at the Theatre Royal. BABY BONANZA: One of Plunket’s biggest fundraisers for the year, the annual Plunket Baby Bonanza is here again, with over 30 stalls featuring children’s clothing, toys and nursery items. The Plunket Baby Bonanza will be held from 9am to 12pm at Hope Hall, Main Rd, Hope, on Saturday, May 2. The cost of entry is $2 per adult, children are free. If you are interested in booking a stall, phone Lisa on 542 4496, large stalls cost $25 and small stalls cost $15.

The whirring of blades, the crushing of metal and the heat of fire, drew crowds to this year’s Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter annual Open Day on Sunday afternoon. The open day is the Helicopter’s major fundraiser for the public and featured a number of rescue demonstrations from the Rescue Helicopter crew, Fire Service, Coastguard, St John and Civil Defence. Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter Trust communications and marketing manager, Paula Muddle, says around 3000 to 4000 people attended the event, raising $12,000 through bucket donations, scenic flights and raffles on the day.

The helicopter crew also demonstrated how patients are loaded in and out of a helicopter on a stretcher. Chief crewman Paul Bryant says he had a fantastic time demonstrating how the helicopter works and talking with the public. The Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter operates 24/7, every day of the year. Watch all the action of the day unfold and an interview with Paul Bryant at www.nelsonlive. co.nz

Students have a go at UN diplomacy

BIKER’S BREKKIE: John Westerson, Calvin Muirhead and Steve Holmes at the Bikers Brekkie at 1903 Square in central Nelson last Wednesday. All riders, on motorbikes or mopeds/scooters, were invited to the free breakfast and coffee at 1903 Square, under the Cathedral. The aim of the breakfast was to get riders together in a lowkey relaxed atmosphere and share their stories and advice with fellow riders and, of course, receive a free coffee. Photo: Andrew Board.

Monique Bergman Local students will come together to assume the role of international diplomats and discuss some of the world’s most important international issues this week. UN Youth New Zealand is a youth-for-youth, non-profit, volunteer organisation which aims to educate and inspire young New Zealanders through actions and events. Year 13 Waimea College student Olivia Meikle and year 11 Nayland College student, Andre Castaing are UN Youth High School Ambassadors for the region. They are involved in organising and promoting the annual Model United Nations conference, designed for high school students, which simulates the running of the United Nations. Around 80 students from Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough will attend the event to be held at Nayland College UN Youth ambassadors on Friday. Andre Castaing, left, and Students are Olivia Meikle.

The event is a chance for youth within the Nelson-Tasman and Marlborough region to learn about diplomacy and global issues, and meet like-minded individuals who want to make a difference in their community. Tasman mayor Richard Kempthorne will be opening the event and welcoming the delegates.

Are you freakin kidding me? Any slower you may as well be walking. Every time I come to town it astounds me: 1. How slow people drive. 2. How badly they drive and 3. How many cops you have waiting to get their quota! Darryn Galpin. Bikie Brekkie encourages motorcyclists to up-skill. Do they need to? I do encourage riders to up-skill. However, I’ve always thought it is very unfair to include moped statistics with motorcycles statistics as you rarely get a fully licensed or experienced rider using a moped/scooter. I hope ACC didn’t throw in a few off-road statistics also to justify the insane hike in registration costs a while back, as they did with moped statistics. RJ (via nelsonlive.co.nz). I think people driving need to open their friggin' eyes. Keri Williams. Being a learner 'biker', but having been a driver for 33 years, I can't say it is drivers who need to up-skill, they are astoundingly dopey here in Nelson, or just plain thick! Brian Gower.

home anyway. Amanda Murphy. I still don't understand why people need to “be informed” of cameras. If they are doing nothing wrong, they would have nothing to be informed about! Cheryl (via nelsonlive.co.nz). Storm water rates: A plan, accepted by many Nelson councillors that the storm water removal charges in your rates will be included in your general rate charges, will affect all owners of a property whether the land value is high. If you happen to be retired and live along the Maitai river, or in any area of Nelson where land value is high, increases of what you used to be paying in total rates will be staggering. On the other hand when you live in an area where land value is low you will see in some cases no increase or very little increase. The reason given by councillors for the increase is the extra costing related to the floods in 2011 and 2013, more money is needed. A fairer system is to get the money from increased general rates and leaving storm water rates equal for all ratepayers. If storm water rates are changed, the same might happen next year with the uniform rates for the removal of waste water. What to do about it before it is too late? Ask the council for a “Nelson City Council Public Consultation form” and make sure it is delivered this month. Addo Mulders Sr.

When the new YZF-R1 motorcycle was unveiled at Filco Farm and Sport in Nelson as part of its global launch last week, two of the people in the showroom had already had a sneak preview of Yamaha’s latest supersport model. Filco’s owner Dave Filer and one of his mechanics, Jeremy Read, were among just a handful of people to see the bike’s engine being developed and tested at Yamaha’s headquarters in Iwata in Japan. Jeremy and Dave had been invited to the factory after Jeremy was one of just 20 Yamaha mechanics selected from 33,000 applicants worldwide to compete in the Yamaha World Technician Grand Prix last October. Although Jeremy enjoyed the twoday competition, which tested a wide range of mechanic’s skills including diagnosing and repairing faults, motorcycle and component assembly and a theory examination, he says the highlight of their trip to Iwata was a visit to Yamaha’s headquarters. “It was absolutely the highlight of the trip, visiting the Yamaha factory. The security was so tight they took all our cellphones and cameras off us so nobody could take any photos and we were all dressed up like surgeons in an operating theatre so we didn’t contaminate anything. “We saw bits and pieces of the R1 engine which was a real privilege

and had a tour of the assembly line. It took 390 staff only 90 minutes to assemble a bike, test it on the dyno and then pack it for freighting - it was incredible.” Jeremy says he also enjoyed experiencing the Japanese culture and, surprisingly for a “meat and potatoes Kiwi bloke”, he also enjoyed the Japanese food. “It was my first trip to Japan and I was amazed by the courtesy and friendliness of all the Japanese people. I was also pleasantly surprised by the food - I made a decision to try everything and really enjoyed it.” Dave says it was a real honour for Filco to have a mechanic in the Yamaha World Technician Grand Prix and he was proud of Jeremy’s top five finish. Jeremy also won the Customer Service section of the competition. “Jeremy worked really hard over the last four years to try and qualify for the competition so it was a real honour for him to qualify. He won the Australasian competition in 2013 to get there and he was the only mechanic from the Southern Hemisphere at Iwata.” Jeremy has worked at Filco for nine years, after leaving Nayland College and initially training as an engineer and then car mechanic. However, he has always been a motorcycle enthusiast, buying his first motorcycle off Dave 25 years ago. “It was a DT175cc. I used it to ride to school at Nayland.”

Texture exhibition gives tattooist a new ‘canvas’ Stoke artist Cate Murphy spends most of her day working on live canvases, so she always enjoys the opportunity to paint on inanimate objects. Cate was one of nine artists from around the Nelson region who had their works on display at Sunday’s opening of their Texture Exhibition, at The Old Post Office in Upper Moutere. One of Cate’s pieces was an old handsaw which she had painted and she says it makes a change from her usual medium. “I’m a professional tattooist, so it’s nice being able to do what I like when I paint these objects,” Cate says. “Everything is a canvas so I just find objects, like this saw and old mahogany and cane trays, and paint them - it’s kind of folk or recycled art.” Another Stoke artist, Rachael Brown, was exhibiting photographs of dahlia’s on a textured cotton canvas. She was inspired to photograph the flowers after spending

Family of war heroes ready for Anzac Day

A Nelson mother has given her daughter a special Anzac legacy to be handed down to future generations. Aubrey Lumsden, who turns 93 years-old next month, has been attending Anzac Day services since the end of World War II. Her daughter, Jan Phipps, joins her each year to remember her grandfather and father who served in the First and Second World Wars. To mark the Anzac First World War Centenary, Jan asked her mother, who is an avid knitter, if she would make her a shawl out of knitted poppies to wear at the commemorations. “I’ve knitted around 100 poppies this year, so I thought why not sew some of them together and make a shawl for Jan to wear in the parade,” says Aubrey. Their family has a long history with the military, which starts with Aubrey’s father, Edward John Pahl, serving at Gallipoli during World War I. “He came back from Gallipoli sick and wounded, he was a signaller and he slept in a bivouac on the cliff at Gallipoli and would have to run around the trenches, I remember him saying the scenes were terrible. When the war finished, he would attend the Anzac Day services then come

home and sit and listen to the radio and tears would stream down his face,” says Aubrey. When war broke out in 1940, Aubrey was employed in the Nelson Women’s Auxiliary Army Corps as a shorthand typist and received medals for her service. “We were busy with all things pertaining to war. I was promoted to a Lance Corporal and got an extra sixpence a week which I was happy about,” says Aubrey. Aubrey met her husband, Ken Lumsden, who was a trainee pilot in the Royal New Zealand Airforce, during her college days in Nelson. She married him during the Second World War, in 1943, just after he had completed his airforce training. “We married during his final leave because soon after his training was finished he got posted, it was a Friday night and we rushed into Nelson to find a wedding ring. Ken went overseas straight away after we married and I spent my honeymoon in Auckland by myself,” says Aubrey. He served as a fighter pilot during the war, flying Dakotas and Kittyhawks in the Guadalcanal cam-

While on a mission, Ken was shot down by the Japanese, but managed to land on a submerged coral reef. With only the tail of his aircraft sticking out, he was able to get to his life raft and tie it to the tail and waited in the

hot sun to be rescued. Eventually, he saw a US Naval ship in the distance and started waving his distress flag. Unfortunately, the flag was red with a white circle in the middle, similar to a Japanese flag and the Americans mistook him

for the enemy and started shooting. He quickly realised what was happening and took off his flying cap to show them his fair hair. He was taken to their US base and was reported missing by his squadron for 11 days. “His squadron thought he had been shot and killed, and they had written a letter addressed to me saying that he had fallen behind formation and encountered the enemy alone and that he was missing, presumed dead, and they were searching for him,” says Aubrey. Her husband was found before the letter was posted and it was given to him as a memento. After the surrender of Japan, he served at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, bringing the J-Force soldiers back home. When he returned, he worked as an Airforce Relations Officer in Nelson and was involved in recruitment. Aubrey’s son, Paul Lumsden, also served in the army for 29 years and retired as a Captain, having toured East Timor, Sinai and Egypt. Jan remembers her father, Ken, as a loving and gentle man. “Dad never talked to us about the war until he got sick and was having terrible nightmares about it,” says Jan.
