Keeping seniors connected

An end to Village fiasco?

Owners of Waimea Village, Michael and Carolyn Wright, have agreed to sell the village to the residents.

The deal was stitched together

by Tasman mayoral candidate and current councillor Kit Maling and if completed will end almost three years of bitter dispute between the residents and owners of the village, in Richmond.

Details of the deal remain confidential but residents were briefed on the options Sunday afternoon. Some residents were disappointed the Wrights would profit from their erratic behaviour over the past few years but most were in agreement that it was the only logical outcome and that now both sides can move on.

The agreement was signed on Friday and Kit addressed residents of the village on Sunday afternoon with the proposal. It

will mean each home owner in the village has the opportunity to buy a 172nd share of the village, one share for each home and at a cost of $8200.

Those who can’t afford to buy a share, or those who don’t want to can still lease their land as they do now but their monthly levies will be higher.

A board will run the village and it will employ a part time manager to do all the things Michael Wright paid himself $100,000 a year for.

Kit says the savings by getting rid of the Wrights would be huge and it would allow the residents of the village to get back to enjoying their retirement and living in peace again. “This is all

Life on the Block for Nelson couple

After a week on the Block NZ television show, Nelson’s Tom and Loz Heaphy were wondering what on earth they’d gotten into.

They were the underdogs with no renovation skills, they couldn’t even build a decent letterbox and realisation that they could be in for ten weeks of losing was hitting them hard.

“We said to the producers, did you just put us on this show to be the losers?’” says Loz.

about making this a better place for you to live and putting the past two and a half years behind you,” he told residents.

Seventy per cent of the residents need to agree to buy a share for the deal to go ahead, something he is sure will happen.

“I’ve door knocked on all the homes in the village three times now so I have a fairly good idea about what they’ll say and I’m confident we’ll get the necessary money.”

If the deal falls over Kit will lose $7000 of his own money that he has put up as a nonrefundable deposit. He says house prices are likely to jump after the Wrights are gone.

Kit has been just one of the community leaders attempting to help the residents of the village since the dispute with the Wrights started in late 2010. Others that helped put pressure on the Wrights include councillor Judene Edgar, her husband and accountant

David Verhargen, lawyer Warwick Heal, Pam Coltman, the residents committee and its chair Jerry Rowland, Weekly publishers Steve and Waimea Village hapJenny Page, whose py after the annoucemother lives in the ment on Sunday. village and other local businesspeople. It was the efforts of these people that laid the foundations for this week’s news.

Kit told the Weekly he was thrilled to have agreed to a deal. “I’ve been trying to do this for a long time and it was the only way it was ever going to end. I won’t say how much it’s for but whatever it is, it’s worth it considering the benefits.”

Waimea Village residents committee chair Jerry Rowland says he’s happy that there ap-

pears to be a conclusion to the matter. “It will be fantastic when the people of the village will be able to control their own destiny and run the village for all the villagers.”

One of the conditions of sale is that court proceedings against the Wrights to protect money that should be in the repair and replacement fund is dropped. Although that will only be done after due diligence is completed. The sale becomes unconditional in 42 days, at the time of signing.

The dispute between the Wrights and the residents of Waimea Village has been over annual levy increases and a concern that almost $400,000 in a repair and replacement fund isn’t in the fund. The issues have seen residents protest on Gladstone Rd, two rounds of arbitration, an on-going court case and plenty of acrimony on both sides.

Residents spoken to at the meeting on Sunday say they can’t wait for it all to be behind them and to say goodbye to the Wrights.

Airport expansion takes land off the golf course

Nelson airport is expanding its airfield further into the Aerodrome Reserve, which is great news for the airport but bad news for the neighbouring golf course.

The expansion will creep onto the Nelson Golf Club’s driving range, which was leased to the club by the airport. Airport chief executive Kaye McNabb says the two parties have been working for years on the expansion as the increasing number of hangers and businesses at the airport took up the last of the available hanger sites.

“It’s been a tight race between

the relocation of the BP fuel facility to where light aircraft are currently parked and finalising taking the Kaye McNabb driving range back and forming the new grass taxiway access to relocate the aircraft parking,” says Kaye. “Ground works are due to start this week to create the grass taxiway access into the new area.”

She says the additional 6.5 hec-

tares is “absolutely necessary” if the airport is going to continue to grow its contribution to the regional economy and the jobs created and increased wealth of the region are very important considerations for the company.

Walkers need to be aware that the extra airfield will increase the distance around the perimeter walkway by about a kilometre.

The changes to the walkway are expected to occur over the next week and notices at each end will advise users what to expect.

TV for Nelson renovators FROM PAGE 1 lAW firm Up for AWArD: Longstanding Nelson law firm Pitt & Moore is the only Nelson or Tasman law firm in the finals for the Regional/Suburban Law Firm of the Year Award 2013, a category in the New Zealand Law Awards. The winners will be announced at the Law Awards black tie ceremony on Thursday, November 7, held at the Auckland Museum. iHC DinnEr: The Nelson branch of IHC is hosting a three course dinner next month, with a special guest speaker set to take to the stage in support of the cause.

The dinner is being held on October 11 at the Nelson Suburban Club. Tickets to the event can be purchased from Smiths City Nelson, the Nelson Suburban Club and the Richmond Mall.

YACHTSmAn DiES: Nelson man Charles Gerard Gallagher, 52, has died after falling overboard from his yacht in heavy seas in the outer Marlborough Sounds on Saturday. The incident happened about 2pm when the 11 metre yacht was sailing towards Picton. As the yacht neared Cape Jackson a large wave swept the man overboard. He was wearing wet weather gear, but no lifejacket. The man was winched from the water into the rescue helicopter.

He was pronounced dead soon after.

“We thought what are we doing here?”

But it didn’t take them long to turn it around, heading into this week they were on a streak of three wins, including for their children’s bedroom, the dinner wars challenge and their bathroom. Suddenly it all seemed to come together says Tom. “We don’t like losing and I pictured ten weeks of us losing the whole time and being a joke and being an embarrassment and that was really tough to get our heads around. Winning the bathroom was huge, because the judges just raved about it and it was then that we thought, we may actually be able to do this.”

The Block NZ is a reality show that sees four couples renovating a house room by room over a ten week period. At the end of the ten weeks the houses will be auctioned off with the difference between the reserve and the final sale price theirs to keep. The winner will also win an extra $80,000 cash.

Tom and Loz, both well known in Nelson, say they entered the show for the challenge of it.

“It’s cliché but life is short and the last three years in Nelson have just flown by.

So doing something out there and something to look back on hopefully with pride, not regret, was a big motivator,” says Tom. Along with learning new renovating skills, Tom and Loz have also had to

The couple are currently second place in the people’s choice award and Tom says they are getting a lot of support from Nelsonians. “Lots of people that we know or know by association are really behind us, the ones that know us really get into it, cursing at the tele, hugs in the lounge when we win something. It’s really cool.”

Winning the Block NZ could be a life changer for Tom and Loz but they say if they do win, it will be finishing the challenge that will be the ultimate experience. “We never said we were in it for the money but that it was Loz Heaphy on the Block NZ.

Frustration as car owners get robbed Phillip Rollo Reporter

editorial@waimeaweekly.co.nz

people seem to think it is safe to leave valuable items in unlocked vehicles, or within sight from outside vehicles. This is unfortunately not the case,” he said.

A spokesperson from police this week didn’t want to comment when asked if it was frustrating that people simply weren’t getting the message, but says the offenders were typically walking from their house to a friend’s house and robbing en route.

“They just check car doors, see if they can get into them and see if there is anything worth taking,” the spokesperson says. “We get several reports a week.”

And catching the culprits can prove difficult, meaning the valuables are not always returned.

“It leaves very little evidence for us to investigate.”

So why aren’t people getting the message? “I don’t know. If we knew that we’d fix it.”

Nick says while the majority of thefts were from unlocked vehicles, some were also from locked cars that offenders had broken into. He says people should avoid leaving valuables in cars, but if it was unavoidable then they should be locked in the boot out of view.

Police are still fielding multiple reports each week about thefts from cars as it appears the public still haven’t get the message that by simply locking their car, it can go a long way to keep it safe.

Acting sergeant Nick Kempthorne says police had received a number of reports of wallets and other valuables being taken from unlocked cars. The thefts are district-wide and predominately occur in residential areas with cars sitting under carports, on streets or up driveways.

“It’s a perennial problem. People are making it easy for dishonest types to take their stuff by not making it secure and by leaving it in temptation’s way,” says Nick. “In most of those cases people had left valuables in full view inside the car. The offenders targeted those vehicles because they knew there was something worth taking.”

While the response from police might appear passive, urging the public to lock their car doors is continually being stressed. It was only in February of this year that police sent out a press release saying the number of car thefts had doubled since that time in 2012.

The acting area commander at the time Ross Lienart said it was a problem Nelson had been dealing with for a number of years.

Nelson’s most extravagant sweet 16 birthday party went off “without a hitch” says those organising it.

The bands were flown in from Auckland, the guest list topped 190, food and wine came from Nelson’s top restaurant and a giant cake topped it all off.

The final cost wasn’t revealed but was “a big budget”, according to the organiser who works for the family hosting the party.

Cawthron steps reach 100 years

Sinead Ogilvie Reporter

reporter@nelsonweekly.co.nz The ‘church steps’ have spent the last 100 years as a venue for gatherings, rallies, memorials and meetings but on Friday, it was their turn to be a cause for celebration.

The community marked the milestone birthday of the Cawthron steps with a ceremony held in their honour, with a crowd of people turning up to join in the special occasion. The iconic landmark was donated by local philanthropist and Cawthron Institute founder Thomas Cawthron in September 1913 and they’ve been at the top of Trafalgar St ever since.

As a go-to venue for events as well as a general place of meeting for many, the steps have seen tens of thousands of Nelsonians and visitors alike, who use them as a place to sit down for lunch, take a quick break, or simply get a vantage point out over the city.

The celebrations were kicked into gear inside the cathedral with a performance from the Nelson Cathedral Choir followed by speeches from Nelson MP Nick Smith, Cawthron Institute Trust Board chairman Bob Dickinson, Mayor Aldo Miccio and Arts, Culture and Heritage Minister Chris Finlayson.

Chris says when he thinks of Nelson he automatically thinks of the church steps, which he describes as central to the feel

Tahuna roading options to be discussed Nelson mayor Aldo Miccio says he has spoken to transport minister Gerry Brownlee about protecting Rocks Rd and the best way to future proof Nelson’s transport.

Aldo met with Gerry last Wednesday and he says it went well.

“Minister Brownlee appreciates the importance of Nelson’s iconic waterfront and the increasing demands on existing roads from a growing economy with increasing freight movements and the need to increase roading capacity.”

He says a third option for a single lane through the lights at Tahunanui will be added for community consultation, something residents and business owners at Tahunanui say they want.

A meeting is being held tonight to discuss the issues surrounding traffic through the seaside suburb.

Keeping seniors connected with computers In 1993 the founders of Seniornet predicted they’d be out of a job within a couple of years, as soon as the few seniors in Nelson who owned a computer learnt how to use it.

Twenty years on, they’ve never been busier.

“When we first started only one of the original committee had a computer,” says committee member Duncan Fuller. “Now we’ve had thousands come through our courses or become members of Seniornet and it just keeps going.”

Seniornet Nelson celebrates its 20th anniversary on October 15 and over that time their main goal has been to up-skill and teach people over 50 years of age how to use their computers. They say the goal is to get people using their email, Google and able to up load photographs. From there Skype and other features like Google Maps are introduced.

There are also interest groups that members can join, like those interested in learning more about Apple computers, photographs or the technical side of how a computer works.

Duncan says the challenge of new technology means tutors are never standing still.

When asked how the tutors stay up with the play of the latest technology, Duncan replied: “With difficulty.”

Another committee member, Lindsay

Andrew Board Editor

andrew@nelsonweekly.co.nz Hunter, says learning how to use smartphones and tablets is new to them all, including the tutors. “We’re not struggling as much as our members though. We’re just ahead of them. We just need to be a day ahead.”

They say they’ve had some great stories for those who have learnt how to use a computer over the years and it’s been a great way for them to connect with family and loved ones. “Some of them get really excited when they figure it out and they squeal with delight when it makes sense to them, when the light’s come on,” says Lindsay.

“I have one elderly friend with a grandchild in London and she has the same children’s book as her grandchild and reads to her via Skype, which is really great for her.”

“We do regularly get comments like ‘oh, it’s so brilliant, I can now Skype my kids’ and that’s what keeps us going,” says Duncan.

The group now has 616 members (as of last week) and Duncan says many of them are now independent on a computer but like the comfort of having a group that they can continue to learn from and ask questions if they get stuck.

Some of the committee members of Seniornet Nelson which will celebrate its 20th anniversary in a fortnight are from left; Duncan Fuller, Graeme Valpy, E'beth McKendry and Lindsay Hunter. Photo: Andrew Board.

And they think new technology may just mean they’ll be around for at least another 20 years.

“We have been predicting since 1993 that eventually we’d have nothing left to do because we would have taught everyone how to use a computer. But it just seems to get busier every year and you think what else

can they come up with, but they seem to just keep going, so we’ll keep going.”

Seniornet Nelson is hosting its anniversary on Tuesday October 15 at Annesbrook Centre. For more information about the function, or if you'd like to attend, visit seniornetnelson.org.nz.

Top cooks’ chosen from book The category winners for the Richmond Mall cook book have been announced, with five locals being named as having the best recipes in the region.

Centre manager Belinda de Clercq says it was a tough job just choosing one winner per category for the christmas, jams and preserves, childrens, desserts and family meal sections but the people who won had “fabulous recipes and a fantastic

story to go along with them.”

As the publishing date for the cook book featuring local home recipes draws near, Belinda says she has been blown away by the quality and variety of the recipes that have come in.

Overall category winner Elaine Flannery of Stoke took out first place due to the strong history her recipe had within her family.

“It’s a traditional Christmas Plum

Duff. It came from my mum’s mother, was handed down to my mum, then my mum passed it down to me and then me to my daughters. Now I’ve just got to get the grandys’ and greats’ to make it to keep it going.”

Elaine says her memories of the Plum Duff are that it never lasted long because her mother would put “threepenny bits” into the bottom of it for the kids to find to ensure they “would eat the lot.”

Spring fling another success While the weekend’s wild weather forced the cancellation of the Cherry Blossom festival, next door the Founders Spring Fling battled on and attracted 400 locals who took advantage of the heritage park’s annual open day.

Most of the visitors throughout the day were

in family groups, which was what the day was all about says Angela Ricker, manager of community relations for the Nelson City Council.

“Once the rain stopped the pavement art was popular, as was the treasure hunt which involved the whole family.”

Science fair bubbles to life

The region’s top science fair has begun and organisers are already saying it’s the biggest one ever.

The Cawthron Science and Technology Fair is open for public viewing all week and Cawthron’s community educator Jo Thompson is hoping for a big turn out. “This year is the largest fair we have ever had. We’ve received over 250 entries for the fair, which is open to students aged 6 to 17. It’s such a fantastic representation of the budding scientists we have in our region

and their passion for science and technology. I can’t wait to see some of these projects.”

The Science and Technology Fair has been an established Tasman Nelson event on the school calendar for almost 30 years and involves each student performing a scientific investigation, creating a presentation board and completing interviews with four independent judges.

The projects are available for public viewing daily from 10am to 2pm on Tuesday 24 and

Grace becomes NZ's first sea cadet warrant officer from New Zealand had sailed to another country.”

Earlier this year Grace was second in charge of an eight day leadership voyage through the Marlborough Sounds with her junior sea cadets.

She returned to New Caledonia in April when she was chosen by the Commandant of the New Zealand Cadet Forces and Chief of the New Zealand Defence Force to attend the ANZAC ceremonies in Noumea.

“It was such an honour to represent the youth of New Zealand as a member of the cadet forces for such a special occasion.”

She says she now looks forward to passing her experience on to the younger generation of sea cadets with the T.S. Talisman in Nelson.

Joining the Sea Cadets in 2008, Nelson's Grace Winnington could never imagine that five years later she would become New Zealand’s first Sea Cadet Warrant Officer.

The warrant officer rank is a new introduction to the sea cadets ranks which have remained largely unchanged since 1929. The change brings them into line with their parent service, the Royal New Zealand Navy.

In a fitting gesture, Grace was presented her new rank slides by warrant officer of the RNZN, Lennie Shailes.

Also present at the ceremony were members of Navy ship, HMNZS WELLINGTON, who were in Nelson and made the special trip to congratulate Grace.

Cellar Door TC D The Restaurant & Cafe @ Waimea Estates 59 Appleby Highway For fresh, seasonal flavour knock on the Cellar Door, the brand new café and restaurant now open at Waimea Estate.

Just in time for the first grapes of the season, Katrina and Neil Ward’s dream has come to fruition and their café amid the vineyard is now open for business.

Not only have they started the menu from scratch, they’ve completely revamped the style of the café.

A complete makeover means the café, whilst in the same premises is almost unrecognisable from what it was. A conservatory now opens out into the vines, wood and stone blend throughout the interior and a feature wall photograph by Andre Ismael of the sprawling Waimea Estate takes pride of place.

Katrina and Neil, both passionate chefs with a wealth of experience have come back to Nelson after a stint in Wanaka.

It dawned on them that there was no better place to open their own café or restaurant than Nelson, where their philosophy of fresh, simple flavours using local ingredients could flourish.

Just four months ago the duo took over the cafe and restaurant and after some hard work, creativity and the help of Waimea Estate owners, the Bolitho family, the result is a stylish, relaxed dining space with a menu that speaks for itself.

Katrina and Neil have had a lot of fun coming up with the menu. Their shared love of fresh ingredients along with the fusion of their café and fine dining ex-

pertise can be tasted in every dish.

“We are using the freshest, seasonal, local ingredients possible in every item on the menu. A few little treats have come from afar – from people we believe are the best of the best - but we are keeping it local as much as we can.”

From the full range of award winning Waimea Estate wines, Wangapeka cheese, to Sprig & Fern and Mussel Inn craft beers, the taste of Nelson’s best

menu available all day and for the first time at Waimea Estate evening dining on Friday and Saturday, they have achieved that and more. Striving to make as much on the menu as they can from scratch, you’ll find Katrina and Neil’s freshly baked bread, handmade pasta and in-house smoked and cured salmon hard to resist.

All items on the day time menu are priced under $20 and all items for din-

The vision was to create a casual, relaxed atmosphere where anyone and everyone can feel welcome. With a café

“We have a love for food that we want others to be able to share. We’ve designed the menu to be affordable and simple and want the restaurant to become a regular for locals from throughout the community.”

Cellar Door TC D The Restaurant & Cafe @ Waimea Estates 59 Appleby Highway An example of Katrina and Neil’s creativity is their ‘small plate’ menu. Tapa’s style, they’re a mini burst of flavour that can be enjoyed as is, or combined with a few different options. Share them with friends over a wine, or they can just as easily be enjoyed on your own. From pulled pork burritos, chickpea and spinach fritters, through to buffalo mozzarella, a small plate packs a great punch that is full of flavor.

At the heart of the Cellar Door is the variety of renowned Waimea Estate wines that have won many accolades over the years. Katrina and Neil welcome the public to call in for a wine tasting, available both on the weekends and during the week. There is no need to book so simply call in unannounced and sample the varieties of wine produced on site at the Waimea Estate.

Greg is the resident wine expert at the Cellar Door and will make your tasting entertaining, educational and fun – just how it should be.

2013 LOCAL ELECTIONS 20 September to 12 October -

Time to vote for your representatives It’s election time.

Every three years we elect some fellow residents onto council to help make our city a great place to live without costing us the earth.

At the last Nelson City Council election in 2010 voter turnout was only at around 50 per cent. So to help keep you informed we’ve put together a feature of those standing for council so you can read why they’d best represent you.

You would have had your election papers delivered by now and if you’re unsure who to vote for, have a read over the next few pages and see who sticks out for you.

Not all candidates chose to go in this feature so there will be more

information in your voting packs.

We also asked each council candidate via email to give us their views on some major issues facing Nelson in a simple “yes” or “no” format. Some of the candidates didn’t like that as they said it was too simplistic because they couldn’t say why they came to that answer. That’s fine, they didn’t have to answer a question if they didn’t want to. But we thought it would be helpful for our readers to have a “snapshot” of who sits on what side of the fence on some pretty critical issues.

Our results are to the right so have a read and please remember to vote.

John Armstrong has lived in Nelson since 1995 and is married to Rebecca with two school aged children. Originally from Christchurch, he graduated from the University of Canterbury with degrees in the Arts, Science and Education. As the current Principal of Henley School, John is a believer in lifelong learning and is currently completing a Bachelor of Commerce in management. He is also a designated Education Review Officer for the Ministry of Education. He offers a wealth of experience, a great deal of common sense, honesty, integrity and the ability to see the long term impact decisions we make today, will have on tomorrow.

John’s top 5 issues 1. RATES: I would pledge to keep rates low 2. SPENDING ON CORE SERVICES ONLY: Drinking water, drainage, sewerage, roading - they are the backbone of a well-run Council and city.

3. TRANSPARENCY: 4. ACCOUNTABILITY AND EFFICIENCY: 5. TRANSPORT: “I support the development of the cycle way network and the Southern Link.”

“A vote for me is a vote for good stewardship of our finances.”

Kia ora koutou. My name is Cindy Batt and on my father’s side we are fifth generation English settlers and on my mother’s side ‘he uri ahau o Te Tauihu o te waka a Maui.’ (I am descended from Iwi of the top of the South and the North Island.)

Sitting on the sideline is not an option for me and I want to be part of the solution. One difference I feel I bring is an overarching whanau perspective, I also believe there are some solutions, particularly on environmental issues, that tikanga Maori has to offer for the benefit of all.

My intent is to bring a unique and diverse set of values to the decision making and governance of our city. I believe I have alot to offer in the formal and decisive negotiation processes at local body level.

I intend to be a strong advocate for both environmental and social issues and the responsibilities that come with Katiakitanga (guardianship) and citizenship.

Whilst not having a strong position on amalgamation I think councils and the communities of interest in Te Tau Ihu have to consider a more effective, streamlined way of working together, In closing, to move forward will take the entire community.

Hugh Briggs Vote for Experience!

• 40 years in local government • Urban Planner and Commissioner making hard decisions • Extensive community involvement • Strategic thinker

Experience Does Count!

Authorised by Hugh Briggs, 42 Strathaven Place, Atawhai. Ph 545 1195

Being a Councillor is a hard and time consuming job. An effective Councillor needs to: • Be experienced in and understand local government - 40 years experience for Councils, as a planner: knows Council practices.

• Be professional and able to make difficult decisions - An experienced planner and Hearings Commissioner making objective decisions.

• Know the key Nelson community issues - Made numerous submissions to Council plans on variety of key issues: those issues I will seek to get realistic and pragmatic solutions on.

• Be able to balance local needs with wider community benefits, taking a strategic approach.

• Have experience in Governance roles - Business owner and Trustee (3 Trusts) dealing with governance issues.

• Be involved in community organisations - Trustee for 3 organisations and fundraiser for community projects My point of difference is that I have the relevant experience and skills to be a truly effective Councillor It has been an honor to serve as a Nelson City Councillor the past 3 years.

I have found my voice around the table and have consistently championed economically focused, socially progressive, and innovative solutions.

My business background and international experience have stood me in great steed. I’ve been working with local business, education and research institutions, developing ways to foster business innovation and entrepreneurial opportunities. We are broadening our economic profile in this region and will add much value through collaboration and expanding the knowledge network.

It’s clear we must be more resourceful, delivering more with less funding and waste if we are to keep rates in check and keep in step with global economic and environmental realities. We’ll need to think of new ways to deliver on community wellbeings through active and enabling council partnerships.

We need to build on the amenity of Nelson, Stoke and Tahunanui business centres, creating business settings that attract high value added services.

I remain deeply committed to working together better with communities, ensuring housing and rates affordability, addressing natural hazard risks, safeguarding our environment, future proofing our transport systems and appreciating our creative culture and this beautiful place we call home.

As a senior sergeant of police in a career spanning 42 years I needed to display strategic planning, budgetary, financial and development skills.

EMAIL: eric_diane.davy@xtra.co.nz

 Authorised by Kate Fulton, 45 Stansell Ave, Nelson

I reinforce the belief that we must demand that central government stop forcing processes on council that becomes a rate cost on our community.

I believe we must stop making decisions that polarise our community to the extent that those decisions are overturned.

I am prepared to stand up and argue for my communities overall benefit and welfare.

Having spent three years on council I feel I have found a vocation I am able to contribute to successfully. Working with 13 people all with different views and life experiences I thrive on listening to new ideas and trying to find inventive ways to implement them.

Keeping an open mind, being fully informed and then making a decision is the best approach to making good decisions. Information comes from pre-consultation, consultation, submissions made, talking to and listening to the community, staff reports, questions asked, LGA, RMA, local plans, legal advice, CE advice, listening to other councillors points of view and then carefully considering the recommendation/policy/bylaw to see if it can be amended to reflect all of the above.

I was part of the Mayor’s Taskforce on Sustainability which worked with the community to develop our Vision 2060. The four themes and ten goals in this Vision all encompass the importance of well being to our community.

If re-elected implementing strategies which achieve these goals would be my main focus. I am also standing for the NMDHB because my interest and understanding of health issues can complement the work I do on council and vice versa.

Owen is standing to represent the city of Nelson as a person who has wide and diversified life of experience in the workforce, as well as to unseat “those greedy councilors who have had years beyond their sell by date.”

Owen’s experience ranges from a six year plumbing apprenticeship, seven years working all over Otago with the Dunedin Railway service, eight years experience at Hillside workshops, time spent in the Air Training Corps band, to five years with the NZ Armoured Corp Black Watch regiment. He has sung with the Operatic Company in Dunedin, worked twice for Greggs coffee doing the night shift and worked at McSkimming Industries and the Wrightson wool store.

Owen has only ever stood for one term from 1983 to 1986 for the Richmond Borough Council and in 1986 he represented the borough at the Municipal conference in Dunedin. He has also stood against Tim Shadbolt in Invercargill whom he knows well.

“If you the rate payers feel underdone by the current councilors, I have the working council experience and not being a one trick pony would serve your interests well. Are you aware - because it shocked me – that the base rate as a city councilor is $35,000 and mounting dramatically upon promotion? Excessive is the word.”

It is time to consolidate-that is to make what we have stronger and more stable. To ensure the Council spends rate money carefully, fairly and with balance to benefit the whole city and its residents.

As a local business owner for 18 years Brent is well aware of the challenges faced by small business owners, young families, the elderly, small clubs and organisations on a day to day basis.

If elected Brent will be open minded in council decision making and will bring a common sense, open door and Nelson Proud policy to the council table. He believes that council should refocus its attention to core issues and essential services for the region in accordance with the local government act 2012 and is a great believer in public consultation.

“Refocusing our attention to core services in a way that is most cost effective for households and businesses should not be taken lightly- but adhered to meticulously. With the population of Nelson growing it is essential that we look forward to the future with a clear vision.”

Authorised by Derek Shaw, 118 Rutherford St, Nelson and sponsored by Nikau Press.

I am committed to Nelson and want to see it continue to grow into a city and region we can all be proud of – vibrant, thriving and exciting. I want to contribute to a council with strong leadership and a positive, forward thinking, collaborative approach.

I have the background to make this happen. I have co -directed the company that has organized the nationwide Smokefreerockquest for the last 25 years, and have leadership roles with Opera in the Park, various Nelson music groups, and the NZ Antique and Classic Boat show. I was recently awarded a MNZM by the Governor General for services to NZ Music.

As a choir conductor I am used to working collaboratively with people and at the same time showing strong leadership when necessary. The same applies to my work as a councillor. I would like to have the opportunity to continue to work well with others around the council table.

I am a Nelsonian – Phillipa and I love this place and I will work to build a region where our two children can grow up in a safe, happy and prosperous environment.

I will bring key skills, experience and an eye for detail to the council chamber.

I have a degree in Mechanical and Energy Resource Engineering.

I have experience in teaching, engineering, IT, finance, local government and farming, I’ve owned my own wine label, designed several houses, built one and worked as a tractor mechanic for a year.

Currently I work as a land use consultant, work for TDC in IT and am a partner in Off-Grid NZ. I plan to rationalise my other activities if elected.

I have also worked with many local community groups and organisations some of which include and work closely with council like the sustainability forum and Civil Defence.

The common thread in all of these careers is problem solving. The most pressing challenge that requires my hand is now the City Council.

I have run an honest, evidenced based campaign, focused on measurables not just values and theoretic. Much of what we have heard during this campaign has been around economic growth, we need a reality check as there is no evidence to suggest we have had any of late or can expect this to change. We should be talking about living within our means.

Currently a City councillor, I have 30 years experience in local government.

I’m the Governance co-portfolio holder and co-chair of the Framing our Future Committee. I’ve lived in the Nelson region for most of my life and am active in several community organisations, including the Brook Waimarama Sanctuary Trust, Tasman Regional Sports Events Trust and Nelson Environment Centre as well as being a keen runner and an athletics official. I’m married with three young adult children and operate a parttime publishing business, Nikau Press, around my Council work.

If re-elected, I will continue to try and ensure that Nelson remains a special place to live, including through: • Progressing the Nelson 2060 goals with increased community engagement; • Maintaining, and improving where necessary, community infrastructure - both below and above ground; • Safe, sensible and sustainable transport solutions; • Safeguarding our wonderful natural environment; • Vibrant city centre and enhanced community centres in other areas; • Encouraging more use of solar technologies; • Tackling future issues in a constructive manner.

As your councillor, I want to ensure: - Affordable rates.

- Transparency of Council activities.

- Keep Nelson a vibrant place for local business.

- Ensure Nelson is an affordable place to live & bring up a family.

- A fresh perspective & 100% commitment to the role.

- Ensure Council’s core responsibilities are its priority.

- A strong voice for Nelson citizens My burning issue promise: Fireplaces I will strongly advocate for the fair use of enclosed log burners in your home.

Burning of dry wood in an efficient operating log burner is a very effective, healthy, and efficient way of heating your home.

The legislation brought in 10 years ago is having a growing detrimental effect on Nelsonian’s health and financial wellbeing. Heating and cooking in your own home is a fundamental necessity.

I promise to pursue to change this current restrictive legislation during my term if elected as your councillor. For more info visit www.TimSkinner.com

My reasons for standing for council are:• Committed to reducing, preferably eliminating wasteful and unnecessary expenditure, this will free up funds for improving the viability of the already attractive inner-city and other improvements in the greater Nelson City. I will support other councillors with the same vision.

• Rate increases over the last 9 years have been excessive and need to be restrained as does ever increasing debt.

• Winter tourism and cruise ship visits need to be promoted.

• The rules residents have to adhere to should also be followed by the Council - removing unnecessary bureaucracy.

• There needs to be a review of the rules for log burners • Nelson and Tasman need to work together, sharing resources for the greater good of the region.

I always want to get value for money. I believe in spending money on worthwhile long term improvements .

I am passionate about Nelson and want to get the Nelson City Council back on track from within.

I own and live in Marybank and have been self employed for over 30 years. I established HouseParts which involves manufacturing, importing, wholesaling and retail. Another part of my company, JWAuctions involves location auctions, general and charity. I also provide business mentoring, at no cost, mainly in the retail sector. My hobbies include vintage and classic cars. Of concern, is the future of roading and parking in Nelson City.

Failure to address this will reflect on retail, employment and tourism. Recent flooding in Stoke means stormwater drainage must be urgently addressed along with earthquake strengthening policies for commercial and retail buildings. Woodburner regulations must also be revised. The Council must review its priorities so that rate increases are never more than the rate of inflation, and to provide transparent management with effective consultation with ratepayers. In 2011 a slip reduced the Cable Bay road to one lane, it is STILL 1 lane. This is unacceptable as this road has local ratepayers as well as being important to tourism. I am happy to share my positioning on the issues and voters are welcome to visit my website: www.johnwalker4nelson.co.nz This is a chance for voters to change Nelson’s future, Vote John Walker

Keeping Nelson Special Ours is a most beautiful and fortunate city and if we were to rest on our laurels and do nothing it is likely that visitors and locals alike would continue to delight in being here, but it is not in our nature to rest on our laurels and whether in Council or out I will continue to look for ways to make our place lovelier, fairer, safer, wiser, friendlier, kinder, tolerant, generous, more fun, more creative and sustainable.

At the beginning of this term I took a speech that I had given to Garin College Students in August 2010 and turned it into a vision for Nelson… my thoughts on what the future might look like if we could leave Nelson as good as I would like it to be for our children and their children… a kind of blueprint for the future. Thanks to your contribution to Framing Our Future Nelson has done better than that. Other communities have gone through similar processes but I know of none that have come up with anything better than Nelson’s 2060 vision and Strategy. It is a most remarkable document and since I do not have another fifty years to complete the process, whether elected or not I will continue to do what I can to flesh out the vision and imbed that vision and the strategy in the City’s and our Council’s culture.

The challenge during the next term is to turn our neighbourhoods into a collection of communities, a whole bunch of supportive villages each with a range of dwelling options better suited to our changing lifestyles and shrinking household sizes. We also need to make our roads safer by improving transport options, filling the buses, sharing our cars, avoiding unnecessary trips, walking and cycling and making it possible for more of us to live closer to the places we need to be so that we can spend less time getting there and more time doing the things that most delight us with the people we care about.

This has been my most productive term and my thanks go to Mayor Aldo for his enthusiasm, optimism, energy and trust, to my colleagues, staff and councillors for their commitment and collective wisdom and to you the people of Nelson for your affection, your contribution to Council deliberations, and all of the things you do to make Nelson special.

I would be proud to serve the city for another term and my plea to you is that you vote, that you judge the incoming council by its successes and that Nelson’s 2060 vision underpins all of the choices you make.

Brian is standing for Mayor and for Council because he believes in the city, that people come first and the Mayor and Council should inspire, listen and work constructively with others to achieve what is in the best interests of the whole community. His vision for Nelson is a safe, vibrant and resilient city. Brian’s key priorities include improving quality of engagement between council and the community, investment in essential infrastructure especially storm water and waste water management maintaining quality core services, transparency and prudent financial management, treating the environment with respect and valuing our heritage. For more than eight years Brian was the Nelson Bays Police Area Commander before he led an international team of officers in Afghanistan during 2011-12. He is an experienced leader, used to operating in the public sector and alongside local communities in sometimes demanding and complex situations. He recently retired from the Police after 35 years’ service and is a qualified lawyer. A strong commitment to serving the public, consistent and responsible leadership, the ability to listen and to work in partnership are some of Brian’s strengths. He knows the city and its communities and has the right skills and knowledge, gained from broad experience. Brian is married with two adult children.

Aldo Miccio was born and raised in Nelson. He has had an extensive and successful career in senior management, including running his own multinational company, before returning to Nelson in 2002 to raise his three children with wife Kimberly.

Elected as Mayor in 2010, Aldo has a proven record as a hard working representative of the ratepayers. He has successfully followed through on his vision and promises, working alongside his fellow Nelson City Councillors to facilitate projects that the whole community has benefited from.

These have included rates falling to the lowest of any term of Council in 20 years, securing Rugby World Cup and Cricket World Cup games, and attracting new business and employment opportunities to the region.

As a family man, an active community member on local trust boards, and a children’s sports coach, Aldo understands the importance of continuing to create a thriving and prosperous city for our children and grandchildren.

“I want Nelson to be a region where everyone can afford to enjoy their retirement and our children have an option of raising their children here.”

Nelson has achieved monumental gains under Aldo’s leadership over the last three years, and with your vote we can keep up the momentum.

Over the last 6 years I’ve served as a member of council, three as your Deputy Mayor. For the past 14 years I’ve also run a Resource Management practice. I’m an accredited resource management commissioner and mediator. I’ve been a committee member and Trustee of many voluntary organisations and I am a Rotarian.

I’ve brought my business and community experience to my council role.

My partner Richard also runs his own business in Nelson. Between us we have three children - the two oldest are grown up and living overseas.

My step-son, is in year 12 at Nelson College. Ensuring Nelson remains a family friendly city is vitally important to me.

As your mayor I will maintain Nelson’s vibrancy and culture but we must address urgent priorities.

They are: • Delivering a secure transport network, including planning for the southern arterial; • Revitalisation of Tahunanui and Stoke; • Ensuring our CBD’s heart is pumping; • Workable woodburner solutions; • Essential services to grow our city.

My top priority is financial accountability to Nelson’s ratepayers – spending your money responsibly.

Even with $2M of expenditure cuts and cancelled capital works of over $14M, rates are forecast to be over 5% next year. On a per head basis, Nelson will carry more than 7 times the debt of Marlborough. This is unacceptable and I will conduct a full budget review and set financial controls.

We need fewer plans, policies and less vision-speak. More action, results and simple systems without surprises. I’ll be weeding out silly rules that add cost for limited benefit.

I’ll lead a council where good ideas are welcomed and the mayor gets the best out of every councillor this community elects.

We must build a strong relationship between the community and council, one based on trust and respect and better communication through better listening.

And that change needs to happen from the mayor down.

I’m 100% committed, 100% capable and 100% ready to be YOUR NELSON MAYOR.

Or what if I want to top up and pre-pay for $50 and my car only takes $45. What a hassle. I'll stick to Caltex. Michelle Walker.

Nelson Marlborough District Health Board

trict Health Board

Triennial elections for elected members of all local aurlborough thorities throughout New Zealand, including district health boards, are to be conducted, by postal vote, on Saturday 12 October 2013.

Nelson Marlborough District Health Board (NMDHB) elections are for seven positions, elected on an ‘at large’ basis by residents of Marlborough, Nelson and Tasman. Following the election, the Minister of Health may appoint a further four members, making a total of 11 members of the Board.

There are 23 candidates contesting seven positions in the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board election this year. This is the fifth highest number in New Zealand, equal with Capital & Coast DHB.

2013 ELECTIONS 20 September to 12 October

Chief Executive Chris Fleming said, ”I would like the voting public to understand that those candidates successfully elected to the board will represent the whole of the DHB and have to make decisions that benefit the whole of the district.

“What we aim for are sustainable health services for all Nelson Tasman and Marlborough people.

“We have over 2000 staff members and are responsible for the health and disability services for a population of 140,000, with a budget of $426 million, it's a big, complex organisation.”

This will again be an STV election, where you rank the candidates you vote for with numbers in order of preference instead of putting a tick beside their name. Beginning with ‘1’, for the person you like best, ‘2’ for the next

person and so on.

How do you vote with STV? In an STV election, you use numbers instead of the ticks you use in First Past the Post elections.

It is simple to vote. Instead of putting a tick beside the candidates you want to vote for, you rank them with numbers. In other words you put them in order of preference.

You begin with ‘1’, for the person you like best.

By giving the number 1 to a candidate, you are saying that the candidate is your number one choice. By ranking candidates in your preferred order - 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on - you are saying which other candidates you prefer if your top choice doesn’t have enough support to get in, or does not need all the votes they got to be elected.

You can rank all the candidates on the voting document, or as few candidates as you wish.

Last election I promised that specialist clinical surgical services at Wairau and Nelson Hospitals would not be downgraded. I remain committed to ensuring that both Hospitals deliver the full range of health services expected by people across the Top of the South. The new Golden Bay Family Health Centre excels in delivery of services for the people of Takaka. I accept the township of Murchison is also in the category of requiring special support from elected members to make sure its health needs are not forgotten. NMDHB is undertaking a review of models of care, including providing quality services that improve and strengthen delivery of health services in Nelson, Marlborough and Golden Bay. This is essential if we are to ensure quality, safety and certainty when you are in need of our care and specialist services.

• Chairman community public health, disability support services committee • CEO Marlborough Research Centre • Chair of Hospice Marlborough (9 years) • Member of Cawthron Institute Trust Board.

• Past Mayor of Marlborough My experience as chair of Hospice Marlborough taught me the importance of a strong, collaborative culture – I want to see that at all levels of health delivery from the Health Board.

Nelson Marlborough District Health Board

Brigid Forrest wants the best healthcare possible for you and your family. A vote for her will mean continued medical perspective on the NMDH and progress towards equitable health services for everyone in the top of the south.

As a qualified medical practitioner who has spent 24 years working in Marlborough – initially as a GP where she specialised in obstetrics delivering several hundred local babies, in the last 12 years Brigid has worked as a GP locum and community geriatrician for the NMDHB. Brigid believes that Marlborough people have lost a lot of services over the last 10 years and access to services ‘over the hill’ for many of the population is difficult and expensive – as it is for similar populations in Golden Bay and Murchison. She believes there needs to be an equal distribution of health services and a more open discussion about where the health budget is best spent.

With governance experience on school and community boards, being passionately involved in community projects such as Bike Walk Marlborough – integrating safe walking and cycling in both urban and rural areas within Marlborough - Brigid is well placed to advocate on the community’s behalf.

Paula Miles has worked in the Golden Bay community with other volunteers to fundraise for the new Golden Bay Community Health Centre. This close contact with the financial constraints facing the health sector and the perpetual struggle to retain services in Golden Bay has motivated her to stand for the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board. A rural voice is essential at Board level. Health sector issues directly affect people and with budget deficits looking at being brought into line funds need to be carefully allocated. They need to be targeted where they can reach as many in the community as possible.

Sound governance and financial practices are imperative to successful outcomes in the aim to provide sustainable services throughout the entire region and it is important that policies set and strategies to deliver these services do not increase the risks to those who choose to live in rural areas.

Paula will be a strong advocate for a public health system which works equally for everyone no matter their locality or their means. Paula will look out for community issues and bring her practical thinking to work as a team member of the Nelson Marlborough District Board.

Giving a voice to health



Nelson Weekly Your Community Newspaper

2013 ELECTIONS 20 September to 12 October With a proven record of service to Nelson and as a voice of reason to current and past city councils, Ian Barker is standing for election to the NMDHB because he wishes to place an emphasis on preventative health care and better life style decisions, to improve the health of all people in the top of the south. Ian believes there is far too much expenditure being used for self inflicted ailments resulting from smoking, alcohol and drug abuses, which limits the resources available to the masses – despite the fact the region has an ageing population. Ian will push the board to work with the appropriate authorities, industries and the community, to achieve better self respecting, personal decisions by individuals.

Initiatives that Ian will place an emphasis on will be diabetes and obesity prevention, drugs and alcohol management, quit smoking programmes, immunisation programmes, healthy homes and anti gambling programs.

“I will also be focussing on the provision of an equality of service for all, regardless and will welcome increased government expenditure on targeted front line services and procedures to reduce waiting times for all.”

Making good quality decisions based on accurate expert advice – a vote for Ian will mean quality and safety in the health care system is enhanced.

Jessica Bagge believes in investing in preventative care to ensure our families stay healthy long term. With a focus on the young and the elderly - the most vulnerable sections of the community, she’s standing for the NMDHB because she believes in providing safe, effective and affordable care when and where you need it. Preventative care is part of a big picture relationship between the DHB, other Governments agencies and local Councils. During her term as a Marlborough District Councillor, Jessica fought hard to maintain services at Wairau Hospital. Her time spent lobbying with Save Our Services/Hands Off Wairau, means she is well versed in the concerns and needs of the community. Key issues of concern to Jessica are the wait times for diagnostic care and the stress on families caused by having to travel.

There are families waiting five months for an ENT appointment for their toddlers, there are 365 people waiting more than 48 days for an MRI scan – a basic diagnostic investigation. “I’m sure we can do this better and faster - it is not okay to wait that long. I will advocate for a MRI Scanner to be based at Wairau - this will not only benefit the people of Marlborough, but take the strain off the services in Nelson.” Ensure a strong voice for the community and vote for Jessica Bagge – she‘s accessible, she listens, she cares.

I live in Wakefield but have lived in both rural and urban settings throughout my life. The Top of the South has been home for me for over 14 years and I love this region.

I owned and managed Wakefield Pharmacy for 13 years. I now have the time to give back to the community by standing for the DHB. I am passionate about healthcare and have broad experience as a health professional and in health governance. This includes the boards of Nelson Bays Primary Health and the Pharmacy Council of NZ, membership on the NMDHB Hospital Advisory Committee for nearly ten years and senior management positions at Middlemore Hospital where I also sat on the clinical board.

We deserve to have our health care provided efficiently and effectively getting the best value from every health dollar. I want to help ensure community healthcare isn’t stifled by the DHB deficit so we can invest in local health initiatives to prevent illness and stay well.

I have the time and passion to help get better value from our DHB. I bring a vast amount of experience from senior international roles in BP, TelstraClear and my own consultancy. I have managed budgets in excess of 250 million dollars and have formal internationally recognised qualifications in Management, Project Management and Governance. My family and I have lived in this region for 9 years. I’m a keen cyclist and past president of Tasman Wheelers cycling club. I believe that we need to encourage a fully integrated approach with all stakeholders to promote healthy lifestyle choices that will benefit us all long term. I stand for: • Promoting schemes that enable people to improve their own health and wellbeing • Making good quality, well considered decisions based on accurate information and unbiased advice • Ensuring the ‘health dollar’ is spent wisely and benefits all groups in the community • Ensuring Quality and Safety in the Health Care System • The workforce needs the best possible support to enable it to meet the demands of addressing the ever higher health standard expectations of our community Vote for me and I will bring a strong blend of community involvement, commercial and governance experience to contribute to the success of the NMDHB.

T

for NMDHB Authorised by Gordon Currie, 230B Hill Street, Richmond.

25

20 September to 12 October Pat is standing for the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board.

He has this to say:• I think that the existing Board has done a pretty good job. A few million dollars overspent is not ideal but not the end of the world.

• We have great DHB staff - I wonder sometimes though, whether they feel valued.

• With 13 years owning Heaphys Home Support with my wife (and nurse) Chris and with 300 great carers and nurses I was always dismayed that I couldn’t pay them what they were worth. Whether caring for the elderly and disabled at home or in rest homes, better pay and conditions such as a fair mileage deal are what I will support.

• A DHB member needs a good understanding of governance and budgets.

Heaphys Home Support was a finalist in the Chamber of Commerce awards for “Large Businesses” : Add to this I have led many organisations to success. Not a bad background for someone who needs to help the District Health Board deliver the best health services for the $450 million income it receives.

Vote Pat Heaphy Number 1 for the District Health Board My principal place of residence is in the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board area.

I have a 25-year history in Nelson as a direct of building and retail businesses whilst working in the dental sector. I currently work as a dental hygienist.

Along with the high quality of care, my emphasis and passion is on sharing knowledge to ensure patients, caregivers and community groups can make informed choices concerning their health. I strongly advocate prevention as the most cost effective way to manage our health sector.

I have extensive knowledge across all areas of the health sector and have worked with government and on-government organisations, healthcare providers and voluntary groups whom make a significant contribution to Nelson’s community health. I have taken leadership roles nationally and locally in health and community groups and get satisfaction from working with like-minded people to achieve common goals. I ask for your vote. If elected i will work to ensure accessible and affordable health care for the region.

Currently an elected board member of the NMDHB, the last three years have been interesting for Gordon. There were some major challenges and while some of the decisions made have not found favour with the public the future is now shaping up to be very positive.

“I thank you for your past support and look forward to your continued support as I stand to be reelected to the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board.”

Gordon is passionate about the health requirements of the region’s senior citizens and ensuring there are first class health and disability services available to people of all ages, from all walks of life. Over the years he has maintained a strong interest in and with community affairs and issues, advocating on behalf of many different parties. Examples of this include serving as a Chief Fire Officer, a board member of Nelson Bays Community Law Service, being elected chairman of the NZ Grey Power Federation, and having served six years as a Tasman District councillor. For 20 years he also served as president of Nelson Grey Power, lifting the membership from 2,400 to over 14,000. This was achieved by team work and dedication and by working with a supportive board.

After stepping down as president of Nelson Grey Power, Gordon assumed the position of zone director for Nelson, Marlborough, West Coast, with a seat on the executive of Grey Power Federation NZ. His experience in the above roles see him in great capacity to continue advocating for access to good health services on behalf of people young and old.

“As a board member, you are part of a team, all decisions are made after in depth discussions and while you may disagree in a personal capacity, you arrive at a result in favour of the public at large. I will take these skills and put them into practice if I am reelected to the DHB.” Proven, skilled and motivated by the needs of the community, Gordon Currie is the people’s choice for the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board.

Conflict of Interest Statement: To the best of my knowledge and belief, I have no conflicts of interest with the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board (DHB) at the date of my notice of consent to being nominated as a candidate for membership of the board of the DHB, and I do not believe that any such conflicts of interest are likely to arise in the future.

Richmond Mall to celebrate 40 years

Spruce up for Spring

It's an exciting time for all gardeners to plan their summer gardens and their fresh vegetable crop for the year. It's important to plan your garden to maximize space whilst still allowing plenty of room to avoid overcrowding. It's also the perfect time to refresh your hanging baskets, not only can you plant lobelias and petunia you can plant vegetables such as lettuce, parsley and hanging cherry tomatoes.

As the warmer weather starts to take hold it's vital to ensure that your plants and seedlings are kept well hydrated. The ideal time is in the morning and late evening once the sun has moved away from the plant beds and the ground has time to absorb the water rather than it evaporating in the heat of the sun.

Signs of spring have started to arrive with longer nights and warmer days.

These top tips will help you prepare and get the most from your garden as we head closer to summer.

1. Roses are starting to show and now are the time to treat the new leaves with a fungicide spray to give them the protection they need to survive.

2. As the soil temperature starts

Local man Neville Mead has been growing vegetables for 62 years but he got one hell of a shock when harvesting his latest crop of carrots. The carrots he pulled from his garden last week were all large but

one in particular measured 33cm. He says the secret was a mixture of chicken blood and bones and the type of carrot that it was.

"This is the biggest one I've ever seen. There were a few

others that were big but this was the biggest."

He says he's given the large carrots to his friend to feed to his horses. "The big ones don't taste very nice," he says.

Makos leading competition Forget last week's embarrassment in Albany, the Tasman Makos are back where they belong – at the top of the ITM Cup Championship table.

Perched on 18 points, Tasman have shifted three points clear of old foes Hawke's Bay after edging them 18-9 in a tough tussle at Trafalgar Park on a blustery Sunday.

Battling into a first half breeze, Tasman were unable to kick for territory and struggled when kicking penalties.

The tactic of keeping the ball in their hands eventually paid off when captain Shane Christie crossed over from the back of a bulldozing maul, as the side trailed 6-5 at half time.

Even with a star-studded backline featuring gun fly half Ihaia West and bad boy winger Zac Guildford, the Magpies struggled to breach the Makos strong defensive line.

Hawke's Bay would only score its points from Ihaia's boot, while Tasman was prepared to throw the ball around and charge for the try line.

The home team's attacking flair was evident in their second try with lock Joe Wheeler galloping down the left flank before chipping ahead for number eight Liam

Squire to pounce on, right before crashing into the sponsors signs and a cameraman's monopod.

Substitute Billy Guyton kicked the conversion, while Tom Marshall was successful with one penalty attempt in the second half.

Speaking after Sunday's game, Shane was certainly happy to be back at the top of the table and says Tasman's success stems from the hard work put in during the week.

"We've just got a good culture and we want to put in the extra yards for each other," he says.

Even though Tasman scored more points in the second 40 minutes, Shane admits the side failed to capitalize on the wind advantage.

"We had the wind and we just didn't use it. There were silly penalties and that let them in a wee bit.

But we'll learn from that and move on to the next game."

And that next game is just around the corner, with Tasman flying up to Whangarei to face Northland on Thursday night.

Northland is currently bottom of the Championship with a meagre eight points.

Nelson tournament wins praise from the top

Nelson Bays Football has had a ringing endorsement after the girls New Zealand Secondary Schools premier football tournament.

Nelson hosted the tournament at Saxton Field earlier this month and it was done so well that executive committee member of New Zealand Secondary School Football Association, Grant Jarvis, felt compelled to say so.

In a letter he praised the facilities at Saxton Field and the management and says he wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it come back to the top of the south.

“In summary we congratulate you for a truly splendid week. Our commitment to return at least each third year, if invited, was firmly endorsed at the AGM. Nelson Bays Football is held in very high esteem by our member schools,” he wrote.

Delayed flight ends Titans season The Tasman Titans have missed out on a spot in the South Island Inter-Districts rugby league finals after their opposition didn’t show up and the competition’s governing body labeled the match as a draw.

The Southland Rams had their flight from Invercargill cancelled on Friday night and the decision was agreed by both parties to accept a default.

With Southland sitting second on six competition points and Tasman third, needing a win and to make up a 36 point differential to sneak ahead, Titans coach Phil Bergman was under the assumption the default would leap frog his side ahead of the southerners, giving them a default 30-0 win.

But instead, a 30-30 draw was decided, robbing his side of a chance to win back the title they won against Southland last year.

“It’s bitterly disappointing,” Phil says.

“The unfortunate thing about this

31

whole fiasco is that a team can default and somehow reach the final ahead of us.”

When questioned whether he was pissed off at the situation, Phil’s frustrations were aimed at the rule book rather than the opposition.

“It’s in the rules and they get interpreted by a board. In a case a few weeks earlier the West Coast defaulted to them [Southland] and they received the two points and a 30 point differential. Had that been applied in this case, which I can’t see a reason why it wasn’t, we would also have been awarded the two points, the 30 point differential and we’d be in the final against Canterbury Development.”

The ruling now sees Tasman end the competition in fourth place behind the Otago Whalers, a position Phil says doesn’t reflect the season.

“We just needed that last game. We just wanted a go. It all feels very empty and I’m disappointed that we just didn’t get a crack.”
