Nelson bids for top football Andrew Board
A consortium of local businesspeople has put forward a bid to bring National League football back to the city and give Nelson its third professional sports team. The consortium officially entered the bid
to New Zealand Football two months ago and representatives from the governing body were in Nelson on Monday to meet with the bid’s backers. If successful, it will mean that a new Nelson-based team will enter the National League competition, dubbed the ASB Premiership. It will play
its games at Trafalgar Park over the summer months and it has the backing of local clubs, according to the proposal’s backer, Aldo Miccio. Nelson Bays Football, the body which governs the sport in Nelson, has entered a separate bid to host an under 20 side in
the league but says if the bid, called Top of the South Football, is successful it would be supportive. All National League teams must also have an under 20 development side.

Vets ready for Anzac Day Neville Manins knows what sacrifice means, but says it gets repaid time and time again thanks to Anzac Day. Neville now lives in Stoke, but in the late 60s he was one of thousands of New Zealand soldiers fighting an unpopular war in Vietnam. Many of the men he stood beside were injured or mentally scarred by the experience. In fact Neville was discharged from the Army because a blast to the side of his head affected his hearing while he was in Vietnam. But Neville says the respect the New Zealand public shows each April 25 makes up for the trauma. “The average Kiwi has been extremely generous to us, the government not so much but I feel that we are respected by the general public for what we did,” he says. Tomorrow is Anzac Day and the dawn parade will begin at 6am from Millers Acre. It will make its way down

excited to have a bid sent to him. If the bid is approved, games will likely begin in Nelson at the start of this season, in October. Aldo says bringing the team to the region will be a huge boost for local players and fans. “Last summer we hosted Canterbury United and 2500 people turned up, the highest number of people to any league game that year. The interest is obviously there from fans and players. It will provide pathways for our youth and give them heroes to aspire to.”

And looking forward to sliding on the medals of his late father’s from WWII and his own. “I do get a bit of a lump in the throat, when there are so many people there and it’s good that parents take their children along, teaching them our heritage. It makes me feel good and many of the other veterans feel good too.”

Talent on show
Around 30 of Nelson's most talented youngsters got on stage to show skills at the first ever Fashion Island Talent Quest over the weekend. Whether it was singing, playing an instrument or dancing, Fashion Island manager Susan Matz says the quest exceeded her expectations. "It was better than I thought it would be. It is definitley something we will do again." The winner of the 9 to 13 year old category was Sam Reeves who played the piano with dancer Jason Oldfield, pictured, finishing in the runner up position. Alex Farrell-Davey won the 14 to 18 year old section with Zac Columbus finishing in runner up. The talent quest was held from Thursday last week with the finals on Saturday.

From My Desk What a busy week at Fashion Island, with our talent quest and fashion parade. I am amazed at the incredible talent of the young contestants. From nine year olds singing and dancing to the older teenagers writing their own songs and playing instruments. The Rock Box, Portmans, Dotti, Hartleys, Amazon and Jay Jays put on an incredible show down the catwalk with all shoes provided by Andrea Biani and The Body Shop executed wonders with the makeup. The models looked glamorous and it was a great way to see an array of the winter fashion in our stores. The store I would like to introduce this week is KOOKY. All the designs are cut and styled to look fabulous on a size 8, through to a size 22. Catherine and her team spend time with women, fitting them for special occasions and also casual dress, explaining how to wear the designs properly, what to wear them with, and the characteristics of the fabric. The KOOKY store has such a calm atmosphere, a pleasure to spend time in. Have a fantastic week, and I look forward to seeing you at our Fashion Island.

Toxic algae a risk to dogs, say NCC Nelson dog owners are being told to keep their dogs away from the Maitai River due to an increase in a toxic algae. With the lack of rainfall in recent weeks, cyanobacteria (also known as blue-green algae) has grown and proliferated in shallow areas of the Maitai River at Maitai Camp and in the lower Maitai. Cyanobacteria is present in all of Nelson’s waterways but has particularly high coverage in these
areas of the Maitai says Nelson City Council. “The public is strongly advised to avoid swimming in any areas of the Maitai River until further notice. Dog owners should not allow their dogs to swim in the Maitai, or drink from the river, until advised otherwise.” Cyanobacteria produces the neurotoxin anatoxin, which is potentially lethal to dogs, stock and humans when ingested in large amounts. Dogs that are known to eat the algae are most at risk.

Paying specs forward Specsavers Nelson have Global Pay It Forward Day in their sights and are keen to encourage locals to join them and make a difference on this Thursday. Specsavers Nelson have drawn three lucky customers who will each receive two pairs of Specsavers glasses and have the chance to Pay It Forward themselves by gifting two pairs of glasses to total strangers outside the store on Thursday.
Each pair of glasses will include a ‘Pay It Forward’ explanatory note asking the recipient to spread the word and do a good deed for three other strangers. Terry Mills, Specsavers Nelson coowner says she can foresee the activity having a positive effect on the community. “We’re hoping to start a domino effect – Kiwis are decent, caring people and I think they will respond positively.”

Nelson’s Joy Aynsley, 94, on the dance floor at the recent DanceSport Easter Championships with two-time winner of Dancing with the Stars and international dancer, Stefano Olivieri at the Trafalgar Centre earlier this month.
A fortnight after her dance with a star, Nelson’s Joy Aynsley, 94, is still said to be on top of the world. Joy had been a keen dancer, a regular on the social dance scene until the age of 86 but she got the shock of her life when she was pulled up on the dance floor by international dancer and two time winner of Dancing with the Stars, Stefano Olivieri at the recent Dance Sport Nelson Easter Championships. One of the DanceSport Nelson committee members and organisers, Ann Bell, had told Stefano of Joy’s love of dancing and he was only too delighted to take a break in the middle of his evening show dance routine, take up a microphone, and announce to the audience that there was a special lady attending in the audience tonight who he was going to ask to join him on the dance floor for a slow foxtrot. Joy was “overwhelmed” when Stefano approached her and carefully helped her to the dance floor where they performed a few minutes of the lovely foxtrot to the audience’s delight. Joy was a little annoyed that she had been sitting for some time and could not move as freely as she would have liked but it was obvious to all that Joy’s timing and grace as a dancer were all still there. Stefano and Joy received heartfelt accolades from the audience and the smile on her face said it all. It did not end here for Joy though as after Stefano had finished his show, he sat with Joy and her daughter for nearly an hour chatting away and watching the evening’s dancing competition together.

her sons feels a bit differently though. “He told me ‘Mummy, you’ll look ugly with no hair and my friends won’t want to come around and play’. It was very cute,” she says. Shelley hopes donations will come from friends, family, fellow church-goers at Annesbrook Church and Nelson Weekly readers. “I’m pretty confident I’ll get there, really confident.” To donate visit www.shaveforacure. com and search Shelley Habib.
Shelley Habib has never had short hair and doesn’t like to think what it will be like to be bald, but that isn’t stopping her bid to raise $5000 and in return have her locks lopped off.

Bringing back compost Adrian Myers has spent 40 years making compost, he is so dedicated he has even studied the subject. He acknowledges it’s hardly the most glamorous of hobbies but it is certainly fashionable, with dozens expected to sign up for a course in how to make compost. A new term of community education classes at Nayland College starts soon and the compost courses are just one of the many available. Adrian says the classes have been very popular
and show how important good compost is for gardeners and the environment. Hands-on workshops are being offered at Waimarama Organic Gardens, Victory Community Gardens and Nayland College Horticulture area where people can learn how to get started with composting, or making your compost great. Nelson City Council is providing a $30 voucher toward a composting system, or a compost bin. To register ph 547 9769 or go to http://comed.nayland.school.nz.

Asset sale protest planned Protesters are set to march in Nelson this Saturday, against the government's plans to sell off state-owned assets. Aotearoa is Not For Sale Nelson spokesperson Rachel Boyack says the event, timed to coincide with actions in Auckland and
throughout the North Island, was being organised by local community activists representing many different organisations, which showed the deep concern New Zealanders have towards the government's planned mixed ownership model.
One taste is all it takes

Marchers will meet at Millers Acre at 12pm, and proceed up Trafalgar St to the 1903 site, where local leaders from Nelson and Tasman will address the protestors. "We hope to have hundreds of people from across the Nelson and Tasman region
join us on Saturday, to show the Nationalled government that New Zealanders are strongly opposed to the selling of assets that they already own. "It is time they stopped ignoring the voices of the people," says Rachel.

A community street party in central Nelson was the “perfect” way to finish school holidays and for neighbours to get to know each other, say organisers. Around 30 residents of Halifax St East got together for its “autumn games” including egg and spoon races, wheelbarrow races, gumboot throwing competition, apple bobbing, basketball and pillow fights. Participants were young and old with the event staged to encourage neighbourhood support and friendship. Organiser John-Paul Pochin says the event was a great success. "It was nice to reclaim the street in a way. It brought everyone together and was a great thing to do. A few weeks ago I didn't know the neighbour over the back of my fence. Now we are planning to do this on a regular basis. It's been great for our street."

Hello and welcome to the first Tahunanui Community newsletter for 2012! I’m Jo Lavington the new Community Development Facilitator at the Tahunanui Community Centre (TCC) and I hope to highlight through these newsletters the great things happening at the Centre in Muritai St and also around Tahuna. I have been in this role for about a month now and it’s been a busy, interesting and wholly enjoyable time. It has been great to meet the staff at the Community Centre as well as the many Tahunanui locals who are making the most of what’s on offer here in this thriving community. My role here at the Centre is to further develop that sense of community and belonging and to build on what’s currently on offer here in Tahunanui. The centre already has successful walking and gardening groups established and I would love to extend an invitation to others to come and join these groups. I am also eager to get some new groups up and running in Tahuna this year and welcome all and any suggestions. The way I see it, if you

Gardening Group - Come and join the green fingered fun! A revamp to the gardening group has seen it go from strength to strength in just a short time. Now meeting on the first Wednesday of each month at 10.30am locals are enjoying the chance to get out and about with others also keen on gardening. Group members now alternate their monthly meetings - one month choosing an outing with a gardening theme - the next outing is to Mitre 10 Mega for a walk and talk tour through the garden centre with manager
Felicity. A great chance to ask questions, get advice and finish up with a coffee at the cafe if so inclined! The following month the group visits a members garden - again a real opportunity to share knowledge, showcase your efforts and get inspired. An informal but informative and social experience guaranteed! Contact Jo at TCC if you would like more details on May's visit to Mitre 10 Mega or any other aspect of the gardening group.

specific to the materials used in the construction of many homes in the area, so they can complete small repairs in a cost and time effective manner. The Nelson branch of Halswell Timber began almost six years ago and during that time they have become familiar with materials used in our region, tailoring their stock to suit what Nelson requires. They recognise that Nelson is a boating region, and carry specific timbers for boatbuilding and finishing. Their experience and knowledge allows Halswell Timber to create almost anything to suit your needs; bring in your plans, sketches and ideas and they will work with you to bring them to life. They have the machines on site to construct almost anything. For all your timber requirements, contact Halswell Timber. Airport Greens Motel offers comfort and convenience for travelers. As the closest accommodation to the airport, it’s a great place to spend a night before a flight or between stopovers, with airport transfers included. Rooms are self contained, with options including one and two bedroom units and studios. The motel is ‘green’ in every sense of the word. The surrounding is refreshing, tucked away in the quiet Golf Haven Way cul-de-sac next to the Nelson Golf Course and an emphasis is placed on sustainability and being eco-friendly. Keir and Bonita Wilkinson are young pioneers, forging their way into the business world. They have successfully run the motel since last September and have since taken on two more ventures, Harrisons Carpet One and Harrisons Home Insulation. They believe in second chances and have had great success taking on staff members that have otherwise had difficulty getting a job. Make a stay at Airport Greens Motel part of your next getaway.

COME JOIN US: Members of the Nelson Social Brass Band are looking for more players to come along and play in a social environment. The social band does around six public performances a year and has members aged from their 20s to their 80s. Peter Goodman, pictured bottom centre, says the band is looking for more people to replenish its core group of a dozen regular members. "We meet each Wednesday and the commitment, loyalty, enjoyment of playing music and of each other's company is reflected in the remarkable attendance record at band 'practice'. In fact we get the odd complaint if we cancel," he says. For more information call Peter on 545 1768. Photo: Andrew Board.

A new breed of team Andrew Board After coming up with a fantastic idea with a few mates in a pub, most people wake up in the morning, laugh about it and forget it. Not so the founders of the region’s newest football team. FC Nelson Locomotive was founded when three mates got together for a beer at the end of last year’s football season. They were talking about their plans for the following year when the idea of creating a new team developed. Six months later the “Loco boys” have two wins from two games in the Nelson Bays Football second division and have created an atmosphere of fun, camaraderie and, now, winning. Founder Sean Barker says the idea is not new. Ten years ago he and a group of mates from England created a team called Locomotive T & D to play in a local league and enjoy each other’s company. The team is still going with only a few of the founding members still playing. But the idea is one that has worked well in Nelson says Sean. “The three of us, Mark Sheehan, Andy Weaver and I, decided to do a similar thing, invite guys we knew would be keen to have a beer after the game, get involved and have fun. We didn’t want people that didn’t want to be a part of all the off-field stuff too, like the family barbeques and visiting the pub.” So, FC Nelson Locomotive was born. They play in purple, get huge support from wives, children and friends and play their home games at the
Botanics. They play hard and play to win but at the end of the game aim for plenty of laughs. They also have attracted huge support from the Milton St Sprig & Fern and Milton St Takeaways. Sean says many of the guys didn’t know each other before the start of the season and many still only know each other by their nicknames, but already they’ve created a strong camaraderie. “We thought when we first started that we might not be able to get enough players to buy into what we were trying to do, but everyone has been all for it and really enjoyed it. It’s been fantastic so far.” “Loco” are not the first team in Nelson to use a similar concept. There is another team, called the Bogans that plays in the fourth division and is a similar collection of mates that look after themselves and aim to have as much fun off the pitch as they do on it. Sean says the concept works well because it brings people with similar interests together. “Without sounding elitist, because that is certainly not what it is, we have picked a team with guys we know will fit in and we will all get on with. It makes the team about more than just football. If it’s a close game you are going to try that extra bit harder because the guys next to you are your mates as well.” The formula seems to be working. The 3-0 win on Saturday for the Loco Boys is the perfect start they were after. “The celebration was just as good,” says Sean.

Tough weekend for Stoke's senior teams It was a tough weekend for Stoke as Division 1 and 2 both posted losses away to Huia, while the Division 3 side conceded a late and tight loss at home to Marist. However there isn’t much time for analysis as Stoke Rugby Club prepares to host a special ANZAC Day fixture on Wednesday involving all three teams. Stoke's division one team granted Huia a 20 point head start by half time before deciding to come out and play constructive rugby in the 2nd stanza, coming within five points and nearly handing Huia their first loss of the season. Ultimately Stoke fell short of a stirring comeback eventually losing the match 36-24. There wasn’t much separating the sides in the opening exchanges, before Huia found the line three times in quick succession just prior to the half time whistle, taking a
handy 26-6 lead into the break. After oranges the Stoke forwards came out firing and with some aggressive work at the ruck they gained dominance over the Huia pack. This provided the team with the necessary go forward that was lacking prior to the break and their effort was rewarded as Stoke crossed for three unanswered tries to close the gap to 29-24. Prop Mike Tyler demonstrated his mobility, power and pace providing impetus for the comeback and an outstanding display from a strong running Lofi Ula capitalized on the platform laid by Craig Groome and Ray Packer up front. A pulsating last quarter saw Huia grab a final try and with it the game and points. Stoke will rue a couple of first half lapses which gave Huia too much of a lead, although Stoke showed real character and some old fashioned hard graft to claw their way back into the contest. Stoke coach Gary Alsop says he was impressed with the second half performance and will be pleased when he gets that for the full 80 minutes. “We will take a lot of heart from a competitive display and look to improve with each outing,” says Gary. A sluggish start, in which a try was conceded in the opening minutes, set the
tone as Stoke senior division two lost 33-8 against a motivated and well balanced Huia squad. Stoke struck back with a well timed intercept try to Aaron Dempster which made the score 5-7 to Huia and not long after Huia infringed within range of ‘the sheriff ’ Ant Holder and Stoke was ahead by one point. However, losing the lead only seemed to spur Huia to lift their game as they scored 26 unanswered points. A sizable Marist pack laid a solid foundation and eventually proved the difference as Stoke Division 3 went down 6-15 to Marist at Greenmeadows. Stoke took the lead through the booming boot of young fullback Pattrick Whakatihi who kicked two early penalties, one sailing down the middle for 45 metres out. A high penalty count for sloppy work at the breakdown gave Marist the field position to score in the corner for an unconverted try, closing the gap to 6-5 at the break. In the second half Marist’s scrum dominance had the green machine on the front foot. Only outstanding scramble defense, bustling runs from No.8 Toby Harvey and the educated boot of young Pattrick kept Stoke in the lead. In the end pressure at set piece and a yellow card for repeated infringements combined as Marist kicked a penalty to take the lead and made it safe through a late try. Stoke Division 1 and 2 host Anzac Day matches against Marist at Greenmeadows while division three plays Nelson College first XV. Div 2 and 3 kick-off at 1pm and div 1 at 3pm.

Here to grow league Tasman Rugby League has taken the next step towards growing the game in Nelson by employing a full-time regional development officer. Terri Davey will take up the role, having applied from her hometown of rugby league-mad Wigan in England. She has grown up playing the sport and was coaching as early as 16 years old. “Wigan is a massive rugby league town so it’s in the blood really,” she says. Her first tasks will be getting familiar with the rugby league community in Nelson before venturing into the region’s schools to get more kids playing the sport. She will also help organise the Simon Mannering Cup, which is played between primary schools. TRL chairman Paul Lafotanoa says the main goal of the Simon Mannering Cup is to give primary school students a taste of rugby league, hoping that they will carry it on at intermediate and at secondary school. Tapping into the secondary school market is definitely the key to success, says Paul. TRL will be introducing a secondary school rugby league competition later this year. Terri will be based at Sport Tasman.

Nelson Suburbs’ lead at the top of the Robbie’s Premier League standings has been short lived following an agonising 4-2 loss to Coastal Spirit at Saxton Field on Sunday. AMI Nelson Suburbs entered the game without Wesley Olea, but was still confident of goals with Gagame Feni (pictured above) having netted five times already this season. However, it was the high flying youngsters from Christchurch that opened the scoring with Ash Wellbourn collecting his ninth goal of the campaign, before Englishman Ben Wright equalised for the home side. Momentum swung heavily in favour of Coastal Spirit when Dave Molloy received his second bookable offence late in the opening half, scoring two quick goals before half time. Coastal scored its fourth to secure the game before Gagame scored Nelson’s second from a free kick. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Netball season ready to fire The 2012 Premier season gets underway at Saxton Stadium on Thursday evening with top seeds Richmond Robbie’s Bar and Bistro taking on Wanderers Taylors A. Richmond has considerable fire in its experienced lineup and is likely to dominate all facets of play. Jacks OPD had mixed performances at the recent Geraldine Hodgson Tournament, however they were without their “mid court general” in Jodi Hikuroa. The green team has recruited well in Ani Waitai (from Prices) Moana Forbes (from Richmond) and Phillipa Dean (a defensive player from Canterbury). Jacks coach, Robyn Leonard said she has a versatile lineup, however there is always room for improvement. Prices Pharmacy will not be taken lightly as it looked quite tidy at the pre-season tournament. Prices co-coaches Wayne Hippolite and Tom Alesana have a relatively new look roster with only Mahina Law and Dana Wilson returning from 2011. Prices has promoted several players and has gained the services of Sarah Steele (from Jacks) Christta Burrows (from Stoke) and new to

the district, Julia Garde. Prices intend to work on its own game plan as it works to develop its combinations. Waimea College has a new look as it retained only three players from the well performed team of last year. Waimea have had limited preparation as a team and will look at the talented Ella Marwick to shoulder a hefty work load through the mid court Without a doubt Ella will rise to the challenge. Waimea’s opponents will be Stoke NBS who will operate a large roster of twelve. Stoke is fortunate in gaining the services of its former dual registered player Megan Thomson who is likely to anchor the shooting end and rekindle her partnership with the seasoned Abbie Cook. Stoke has a relatively inexperienced mid court trio in Michaela Matenga, Mackenzie Archibald and Jordan Webby however Melissa Edmond – Whale (from Prices) can be relied upon to be the guiding light. Defenders, Emily Stalker and Jemma Taikato have picked up their combination from last season while Vanessa Hislop returns after a year’s absence.

Local racer takes enduro win Mark Baker
On the eve of leaving to work in Australia, Nelson racer Ashley Kelly has won the Nelson Ruff 'n' Tuff endurance race, the first South Island round of the 2012 Mickey Thompson New Zealand Offroad Racing Championship. Kelly, a longtime offroad racer, now finds himself torn between work opportunities in Australia and the lure of a championship title and must weigh the two over coming weeks. With fastest time in qualifying for the 192 km event and a flag to flag victory under his belt, Kelly is well placed to build his points tally in the second South Island round, the Mainland Challenge in Christchurch in late June. He finished the event with his Nissan turbo-powered car in perfect condition, meaning maintenance to keep it in racewinning trim is likely to be a simple task. Nelson club officials say he could easily ‘commute’ back to race, citing the example of North Island racer Mike Hughes, who comes to New Zealand from Florida USA to race his Ford F150 truck. Though recent national championship rounds hosted by Nelson have not been well favoured by good weather, the Saturday enduro was held in bright sunshine, and instead of mud and dust the racers found themselves grappling with thick dust as the event got under way. Plotted over a fast forest course off Korere-Tophouse Road 60 km south of the city, the race attracted teams from as far south at Tuatapere. Speeds in excess of 165 km/h were recorded by leading competitors in the quicker sections of a 12 km track many described as being rally-style. North Island racer Darryn Bell brought his TVRengined Range Rover to the event – his first South island offroad race. Though a qualifying mistake put him at the back of the grid for the race, he was third in class and said afterward he was ‘absolutely blown away’ by the event and by the welcome he received. “I can’t say enough about the race and the club – it was fantastic, and I’m very much looking forward to the next round now.” Race organiser Darrin Thomason crashed out early in the race, putting his Nissan Navara over a bank near the course’s steep ‘drop off ’, a fire-break downhill section of track that caught out a number of competitors. Thick dust accounted for some of the race’s 50 per cent attrition, though others fell victim to mechanical failures. Kevin Nankivell was running his innovative new Honda-powered class one race car, a sleek single-seater with a distinctive ‘arrowhead’ body style. He went out when the car’s Renault transmission failed. As the racers completed 120 of the 192 km, the dust hazard had become so extreme that officials decided to declare the race early in the interests of safety, handing Kelly his win though by a narrow margin of just one second: close behind him and on a magnificent fightback for a start position of fifth was Christchurch driver Wayne Moriarty.
