Frisbee comp at Tahuna A beach frisbee competition has attracted more than 100 competitors from around the country, giving it its highest participation numbers since its inception 13 years ago. Hosted by the Nelson Ultimate Disc Experience, the Flat Out ultimate frisbee competition brought a range of competitors from all corners of the country together before splitting them into ten teams for the two day competition. Right is Nelson Phill Older during the weekend’s Flat Out ultimate disc competition at Tahunanui Beach. Ultimate frisbee is considered a cross between touch rugby and netball, and points are scored by catching a frisbee in the ‘in-zone’. The event has been held at the beginning of summer for the past 13 years and Jim was pleased to see it developing each time. The winning team, Cosmological Constant, included two Nelson players. For further information on ultimate frisbee in Nelson, visit www.nelsondisc.org.nz. Games are held

Boaties, bylaws are in Andrew Board A new bylaw has been passed, putting skippers in the firing line for bad decisions and tightening up rules around Port Nelson’s many users. The navigation safety bylaw 218 was ratified by Nelson City Council last Tuesday and gives the harbour master greater power to enforce the rules, including handing out fines. The main changes will be the setting up of zones around the haven for recreational use only and a total exclusion zone around the biggest ships to visit the port. There will also be a harbour transit lane, where boats can legally exceed the five knots speed limit if in transit. Boats have been using the lane for years but until now it was still illegal to go any faster. Skippers also take on more responsibility, with every passen-
ger required to wear a lifejacket on a boat six metres long or less, unless the skipper believes it’s not needed. Meaning if something does go wrong and the passengers weren’t wearing lifejackets, the skipper is solely to blame. Harbour master Dave Duncan says the changes have been in the pipeline for some time and he’s happy to see them passed. “It gives us a lot more enforcement power than before. Under the bylaw we will be able to issue an infringement ticket and it will be on the boatie to either defend or pay that,” he says. Another key change is that the cut will now be an exclusion zone where boats can’t enter the cut if a big ship is coming through. “We’ve been very close to an incident in the past, we’ve had some scrapes and bumps but we wanted to sort this out before there’s a death,” he says.

Tensions heat up in Waimea Village Tensions in Waimea Village are rising with the latest residents’ committee newsletter reporting owner Michael Wright of yelling at an 80 year old resident. The woman did not want her name released as she fears “a rock through her window” but did talk to Nelson Weekly. She says she was hanging her washing last week when Michael told her that if she didn’t pay the increase awarded by an arbitrator, and a back pay of $635, then he would force her out of her house. She says he was screaming and very angry. Village owner Michael Wright would not discuss details of the incident, twice repeating the statement: “That was a private conversation between myself and a resident that has been inaccurately portrayed by the writer [of the newsletter].” It came just days after the residents decided to set up a “war chest” to fight the Wrights
in court over various levy issues and declared they would not pay this year’s levy increase. Residents own their own homes and pay normal council rates and other bills but don’t own the land. Instead they pay a monthly levy which covers the Michael Wright. maintenance of the common area, disposal of green waste and certain management services. The fees have been raised twice since 2010, from $80 to $125 last year and then to $182.75 this year, both times by an arbitrator after the residents fought the initial increases proposed by the Wright’s. This year the proposal was for $284 per month.
Michael has stated he will go back to an arbitrator year after year until he gets the amount he wants. The incident involving the elderly lady, was reported in the newsletter of the residents committee last week. Chairman of the committee, Jerry Rowland, says the incident has had a “big impact” in the village last week. An account for the residents has been set up at ASB Bank and is called “Waimea Residents War Chest” and will be for legal costs. The account number for donations is 12 3158 0157343 00 or people can contact any member of the residents committee. Jerry says Labour MP Maryan Street has also been in contact, attempting to help their cause in Wellington and that the support of the residents’ garage sale fundraiser at Waimea Village on Saturday was “overwhelming”.

White crosses for victims of domestic violence Two white crosses stood silently at the top of Trafalgar St at 1903 square on Sunday, in a vigil to remember the two female murder victims lost to domestic violence this year. Members of the public laid flowers at each cross while police and Te Rito Network members gave out white ribbons and information on domestic violence. The vigil was one of many tributes held on White Ribbon Day worldwide to raise awareness of the issues surrounding domestic violence. White Ribbon Day is a globally recognised event, where the community is asked to come forward and stand in solidarity with victims of domestic violence. Nelson Bays Police Family Violence Coordinator Ian Langridge says the silent vigil offered the public a chance to remember victims of domestic violence, but also to encourage men to stand up in support of the campaign, pledging to never “commit, condone, or remain silent about violence towards women”. “We are asking men to speak up and pledge not to offer violence towards women.” With over 1700 family violence incidents reported to police over the last year, and police responding to 244 family violence issues a day, Ian says it is an issue that is ever present in our community. While these are the known incidents, Ian says many more victims are suffering at the hands of loved ones and going unreported. “We know that a large number of victims are suffering in silence. Quite often it is a silent crime,” he says. Flowers, cards, and an essay were placed at the crosses and Claire Nichols brought along her children and a bouquet to mark the day. “I

It’s better to speak out now than when it is too late.” If you or someone you know is experiencing violence, contact It’s not OK Family Violence Information Line 0800 456 450.

More buildings fail earthquake tests More Nelson buildings have failed to reach the minimum earthquake standards, with Nelson City Council-owned Founders Heritage Park the worst affected. Founder’s buildings the Granary, the Energy Centre and Duncan House have all failed the initial assessment by structural engineers. They join four other buildings and the toilet and castle and the Lions Playground amongst the latest to be deemed potentially earthquake prone and below the 33 per cent new building standard for earthquake safety. NCC says it’s progressing well in assessing around 100 buildings and forty other facilities, like toilets, sheds and bridges it owns. The council has employed three consultant structural engineers to carrying out initial structural evaluations on buildings and structures. Other buildings to fail the tests are the building at 42 Rutherford St, where Zumo is, Wakapuaka Community Hall and two buildings on Haven Rd. They join other council buildings like the Refinery Gallery, the building where Prego Mediterranean Foods is in Halifax St, the building where the New Hub was located and the State Advances building on Trafalgar St. Although failing the initial tests, more detailed evaluation work is required before a final rating can be made. Councillor Gail Collingwood, the port-

November Special
Prone, Dangerous and Insanitary Building Policy,” she says. “Given the large number of council buildings involved and significant costs associated with earthquake evaluations and potential strengthening work, we are taking a staged approach. This is a long term project that will take years to complete.” A budget of $200,000 has been allocated and more funding may be required in next year’s annual plan to complete the initial evaluations. Gail says that no quick decisions will be made following an earthquake evaluation. “More often than not it will be business as usual in the interim.”

A Chinese actress with more than 25.9 million followers on microblogging site Weibo is the latest big name celebrity to get a taste of Nelson’s luxury, and Nelson Tasman Tourism believes that you can’t put a price on the exposure that gives the region. Award-winning actress Yao Chen, who married her cinematographer fiancée Cao Yu in Queenstown last week, is just one of 100 international celebrities and journalists that visit the region each year. Nelson Tasman Tourism’s international marketing manager Loren Heaphy says the region is such a drawcard because of its strength in luxury products and services. “We have really high end luxury lodges, we have a private jet based in Nelson, we have luxury helicopters and tour operators who focus solely on wealthy celebritytype clients,” she says. “We see a huge benefit having someone as famous as Yao Chen in the region because of the promotion that she gives us. She is bigger than Lady Gaga, bigger than Justin Beiber and she is blogging her way through New Zealand but also filming a tourism campaign at the same time.” Nelson Tasman Tourism operates as a “middle-man” in most of these circumstances. Each luxury experience is tailormade to suit the individual. Popular luxury accommodation spots include Stonefly Lodge, Owen
River Lodge, Split Apple Retreat and The Bishop’s Suites which is the most expensive costing a cool $1500 plus tax for its cheapest suite for just one night. Helicopter companies Tasman Helicopters and Reid Helicopters and private charter jet Golden Wings are popular forms of transport for these guests. Loren says high end guests seek food and wine, discreet but personal attention, and the ability to view and purchase artwork. On top of the 30 international celebrities that visit the region each year, it is estimated that around 80 international journalists will also come to Nelson. These journalists work for publications such as The Guardian, The New York Times, The Daily Mail, The Sydney Morning Herald and Elle Magazine. Journalists blogging about their experiences in Nelson are sometimes given experiences for zero cost – which are covered by either Tourism New Zealand or NTT. NTT is unable to list all of the celebrities that visit the region because the ability to holiday in private is a key reason to why they come here. However, Loren did say that some of the more public figures include actors from The Hobbit and film crews from US reality TV shows. The individuals involved in The Hobbit include Sir Ian McKellen, Orlando Bloom and Stephen Fry. “When they contact us we certainly look after them,” she says.

Isel Park Firearms staff set for busy time glasshouse moved The Isel Park glasshouse came down in autumn and a new terrace area will be built to take its place. The glasshouse had been closed to the public before its removal because the framework of the ageing structure was failing and there was the danger of brittle glass panes being broken by falling pine cones from nearby trees, says Nelson City Council. “The site has been cleared to make way for a paved terrace. The terrace will maximise the sunny aspect of this part of Isel Park woodland with its wonderful views into the established trees as well as to the original homestead.” The plans for the new landscaping include a brick paving area for events, seating, a gold fish pond, raised planting beds – with vegetable and herb plantings and information panels – displaying what this area of Isel Park looked like in the past.

While hunting clubs in the region are experiencing growth the licencing department at Nelson police say figures remain steady. Last week Nelson Weekly ran a story about the growth of the New Zealand Deer Stalking Association’s Nelson branch, which has seen 25 per cent growth in the past two years. But police say their stats remain firm with around 700 new licences being issued each year. So far this year 418 new licences have been issued in the Tasman policing district, which runs from Haast to Kaikoura north, with a further 255 renewed. That’s similar to last year’s figure which showed 517 new licences and 245 renewals. In total, the Tasman district has around 18,000 people with a firearms licence, one of the highest in the country. Police average 80 revocations a year, where the licence is taken off people, and 10 refusals. Inspector Ross Lienert says while stats have been steady they are expecting a surge in renewals as the ten year licence scheme was introduced in 1992, meaning many who had their licence then will be renewing it for the third term. He says staff will be added as they’re needed over the next few years. Firearms Licensing Officer Dana Weir, who oversees the firearms team, says the policy to get only “fit and proper” people using firearms seems to be working. “To look at a firearm it’s a piece of wood and a piece of metal, it’s the people using the firearms that cause the problems with them. We look at people, not just how they would be with a firearm. A lot of young guys who are driving boy racer-

Ross says police will sometimes have an “honest conversation” with some people who are thinking of applying, which helps keep the refusal number so low. “Ultimately they can still apply but sometimes if someone has a serious previous conviction or more recent minor ones that involve alcohol or disorder we’d say ‘maybe you need to go away and grow up a bit or show you don’t have any issues with alcohol anymore and give it a
go then.’ At the end of the day to have a firearms licence is a privilege, not a right and we’re responsible for making sure that happens.” Dana says the biggest issue police have with licence holders is that they don’t update their address when they move house. “It’s an easy fix, they can just go onto the website and change it there, or give us a call. I’ve got a pile of renewal letters, reminding people that they need to renew their licence, that can’t go out because we don’t have their address.” Failing to update your address can be grounds for revocation or a $500 fine.

Sun shines on the A&P Show Close to 15,000 people turned out for the annual A & P show at Richmond Park over the weekend, say organisers. Over the two days the crowds were treated to a range of attractions from showjumping, woodchopping, highland dancing, baby animals, and a variety of carnival stalls. The two days of sunny summer weather was a huge part of its success says show coordinator Annette Robinson and she is extremely happy with how the weekend went. “It was the first time in five years we have had two days of sunny weather for the show, and we are more than pleased with how it went. We’ve had great feedback from everyone, stallholders were saying it had a fantastic feel, it was wonderful. Annette says plans are already underway for 2013.

Flood gravel dug out of Maitai The final stage to remove an estimated 1000 cubic metres of gravel started last Friday. The work is part of the recovery from last December’s flood event, which deposited thousands of cubic metres of gravel in the city’s rivers. The extraction was in the Maitai River, near the iSite building. Nelson City Council’s executive manager for network services, Alec Louverdis says a digger entered the river bed on Friday morning to
install culverts and build a temporary access ramp for trucks, ready for the gravel extraction to start on Monday. “The work on Friday may generate sediment in the water, but is necessary to complete the rest of the project. The council is using best practice to control any sediment and this work will be limited to a few hours a day. The extraction operation is expected to take all week and will be above the water level, but will be limited by both tides and weather,” says Alec.

Local apprentice wins top award
Enner Glynn Playcentre was shocked by a $300 cash donation several months ago and say they want the donor to know the money went to good use. In August this year the playcentre was hosting its annual garage sale when a man, unknown to the staff, stepped up and gave a supervisor $300 cash. He told the supervi-
sor to use the money to buy what they wanted for the kids and left, says parent Melissa Marfell. "He left before anyone could make a fuss and say 'wow, thank you so much' so we don't know who he is but we are very grateful." The centre bought a tyreswing, which Ashelin CowinDuncan, left, and Amelia Mar-
fell, both 4, are pictured using. The cash was also used to buy a football set and T-ball set. Melissa says the centre was extremely grateful. "We've got a feeling he's from this community but he's obviously a lovely person in the community because it's such a nice thing to do for a centre like us." Photo: Andrew Board.

Take care when gardening this summer.
Less than a year after leaving Nayland College, Howie Weeden has been awarded an apprentice of the year award. Howie, 19, was always keen to get a job working with wood so when he joined Gateway programme at Nayland College he pointed out Orange Joinery as a possible local business for him to do work experience. A year later he was a full time apprentice and a year after that, an award winner. Howie says he couldn’t be happier. “I really enjoy my job, I’m really happy to be here.” Howie entered the Gateway programme for his Year 13 year. He says he initially thought it was for the “dropouts” but says it’s not at all and it’s given him a career. After Orange Joinery agreed to take him on for one day a week while he studied the other four days, Howie says he quickly found the job to his liking. “The first day I thought, ‘oh I’ll never get anything out of this’ [timber joinery manager] John [Andrew] had to do it for me, pretty much.
But the days went real quick, it was great. I enjoyed it.” After just a month John says he knew Howie had what it took to be a good employee and at the end of the year offered him a job as a labourer, which quickly turned into an apprenticeship. He says the Gateway programme has worked well for them. “I think it’s a great idea, I really do. Attitude was a big thing and he has the right attitude. He also listens and asks questions when needed to and he has a natural talent as well,” he says. Howie says he always wanted a job working with wood. “I didn’t narrow it down to joinery specifically but anything with wood I was keen. My old man works at Carter’s so since I was a kid we’ve been building stuff in the holidays so that’s where it comes from.” Howie was announced as the apprentice of the year in the Canterbury and Waitaki region for all first year students at CPIT, where Howie does his block course papers. John says the whole joinery team at Orange help Howie and he works on kitchens, windows and stairs.

Police plan blitz on mobile phone drivers
Nelsonians using their mobile phones while driving are being targeted by police. Tasman Police is taking part in a nationwide blitz for the remainder of the month, timed to coincide with the anniversary of the introduction of legislation banning mobile phone use while driving and to remind drivers of the risks associated with distraction while driving. Tasman Police issued 311 infringement notices for drivers using mobile phones during the past year – with 197 of them coming from the Nelson Bays area. That number was higher than the last fiscal

of hands-free mobile phones, police still recommend that drivers minimize the potential for distraction by switching phones off while driving or at least pulling over to the side of the road to make or receive calls. It is only legal to use a mobile phone to receive or make a call when driving if the driver does not have to hold or manipulate the phone to do so or if the phone is securely mounted to the vehicle. The fine for driving while using a cell phone is $80, and 20 demerit points. Police will also be checking to see if people are wearing their safety belts.

Pest proof fence gets $500k boost
Nelson’s Brook Waimarama Sanctuary Trust is a big step closer to creating a nationally significant wildlife conservation reserve, with the announcement of a $500,000 funding boost from the Lotteries Grants Board. This means the Brook Waimarama Sanctuary Trust is over halfway to its target of $4.7m for the 14km pest proof fence, pest eradication and the initial operating and overhead costs for the 700ha nature recovery project. Brook Sanctuary general manager Hudson Dodd says it is a huge boost to
have gained the funding. “This grant is very significant for the trust in that it validates the sanctuary’s national significance,” he says. “It’s an important milestone toward funding for the fence project, since the trust remains committed to accomplishing the fence construction without going into debt.” Hudson says the debt free status of the sanctuary project is a key factor that would ensure its ongoing viability and its accessibility to locals. “The two local councils have acknowl-
edged this project as a winner and both have allocated funding in their long term plans that is contingent on the trust’s meeting our own fund raising targets,” he says. “We are now well on the way to reaching those targets and to building the pest proof fence.” Trust chairman Dr David Butler says the funding has come at just the right time to reassure local supporters and sponsors, and to “hearten the hundreds of trappers, track cutters and weeders who are giving their precious time” to bring the sanctuary to reality.
Local cafe wins national award ness. Ian puts it down to having a great group of people in the café, offering quality customer service. “We and our staff treat customers as though they have just walked into our home, and we’ve sat them down onto the couch. We serve consistently good coffee and have a variety of great fresh food on the menu.” Ian acknowledges that while they may be new to the game, their hard work has seen them grow the business from strength to strength. “We were told if you don’t make it in the first year, you’ll go broke in your second, so I guess it goes to show that hard work does pay off.”

Hunt for ‘ultimate love story’
Once again, the hunt for Nelson’s ultimate love story is on. Organisers Jens Hansen and the Nelson Wedding Show say they had so much fun last time they’re doing it all again. Entries are now open for the competition which sees each of the finalists win $600 worth of diamonds from Jens Hansen with the ultimate winner taking home $1000 worth. Halfdan Hansen says the competition was a huge success this year and he’s keen to hear more love stories.
“Do you think your live story is the most romantic? If so, please tell us all about it and you’ll be in to win Jens Hansen diamonds,” he says. A panel of three judges – including Halfdan and wedding show organiser Jenny Walton – will choose nine finalists with the public to vote for their favourite Nelson love story. The winner will be announced at the Nelson Wedding Show on May 5. The competition was first held earlier this year with dozens of entries whittled down

to the nine finalists. Each of the finalists love stories was told over nine week’s via the Nelson Weekly. It was then up to the people of Nelson to pick their winner, with top prize of $1000 worth of diamonds going to Shannon and Lisa. Jenny says the event is the perfect lead in to the annual wedding show held at the Trafalgar Centre. “It gets everyone in the mood and inspires. Last year’s stories were great and it will be exciting to see what this year’s will be like.”
Halfdan says he’s looking forward to giving away more diamonds. “It was really cool to see what this year’s winners did with their diamonds and how it made their rings extra special so I’m really looking forward to doing that all over again and hearing a whole new bunch of stories,” he says. Entries for the competition are now open, with finalists to be announced in February, 2013. To enter visit jenshansen.com or nelson weddingshow.co.nz.

Nelson’s quilters’ guild celebrated 30 years last week with a special meeting held at Stoke School. A group of 30 helped form the club three decades ago and around 20 of them were there to celebrate its anniversary last Wednesday night. Past president Ann Mitchell says the night was a great opportunity to get everyone together and reminisce on the guild’s history. “There was a good crowd of members there. We read the minutes of the first meeting and someone spoke about the difference between then and now. It was good.” The guild hosts a quilt show every second year, along with monthly meetings, weekends away and Saturday workdays. The 100 plus members also celebrated with cake, supper and a competition where entrants were given a page from a quilters magazine from the 80s and asked to make something – no bigger than A4 size – from the page. “They could take one word out of the page, a colour or the pattern that was on it, it was just up to them,” says Ann. Stoke’s Sandra Cahill won that competition out of some very impressive entries.

Home brew hobby 'a science and an art'
Two weeks ago Nelson Weekly covered the Nelson Homebrew Competition and its growing popularity – along with craft beer – in the region. We wanted to learn more, so last Friday editor Andrew Board visited the brewing shed of the only brewers to win a gold medal at the competition, Matthew Hoddy and Gareth Kerr.
It takes just a glimpse to see this isn’t the kind of set up I remembered from my dad’s homebrew days. Probably a good thing as my recollections of his kit-set drink was that it wasn’t that popular, even with the brewer. Matthew Hoddy and Gareth Kerr are school mates from Waimea College. They’ve both left Nelson to attend university and travel and now home find brewing a meaningful hobby that tests not only their brains, but their taste buds. The pair is now into their thirties and now proudly call themselves brewers. Visiting their purpose-built brewing shed in Hope it’s pretty obvious they take it seriously. Friends built the 3x2 metre room from cool-store panels at the back of Matthew’s brother’s house. It holds a second hand kitchen bench and sink, an oil finned heater with a dodgy thermostat, bags of malt, hops and other ingredients, empty crates of beer bottles, a capping machine, big plastic barrels that house the fruits of their labour and a laptop. It looks somewhere between a mad scientists hovel and a meth lab. When I arrive they are well into their latest brew, the last pilsner they made won them
Home brewers Matthew Hoddy, left, and Gareth Kerr in their purpose-build shed in Hope. Photo: Andrew Board. the only gold medal at the Nelson Homebrew Competition, hosted by Nelson SOBA and judged by the Sprig & Fern’s Tracey Banner and local craft brewer Dale Holland. The room smells of hops and a pot of boiling liquid that will one day be beer is sitting on the floor. Gareth says the brewing started with – appropriately – with a beer. “We thought it would be fun and were getting sick of paying big money for the slop that the big breweries give us,” says Gareth. They started, along with another friend, by using the home brew kits but say a distinct
“home brew taste” kept coming through and when their other brewer left the region that had to make a call on whether to keep going. “You know how you can make a cake from scratch using flour, sugar and eggs etc or you can go and buy a box and add milk? Well we were doing that. We decided if we were going to carry on we needed to do it properly,” says Matthew. His brother Tristram and some friends got to work building the shed in their weekends and they called on the expertise of other local brewers Adam Tristram, Dale
Holland and Andy Selwood. “Adam and Dale came and spent six hours here and showed us how to do it. We were pretty clueless. They said do this, do that and we were asking why, that really gave us a good start. All the guys are really good, letting us borrow their equipment and giving us tips,” says Matthew. They say the hobby is extremely rewarding and just a year and a half after starting brewing they’ve won their first gold medal. Gareth says they were happy with the beer, which had been fermenting for more than four months, but he was still a little sceptical of it doing so well ahead of the competition. They says the hobby isn’t cheap, with the outlay for brewing equipment somewhat expensive but once you’re up and running the beer is cheap, about a dollar for one 750ml bottle. But they say more and more people are getting involved and the community is very supportive. “Every event we go to there’s someone new and it’s always growing. Fortunately it’s not snobby at all, anyone’s who’s keen can come along and it’s all really friendly. I think it’s getting popular because people are getting sick of the stuff that the big breweries sell us,” says Matthew. “It’s not for the impatient,” says Gareth. “I don’t think you can master brewing, you see these old guys that have been doing it for forty years and they’re still learning and doing different things.” But the best part of their hobby isn’t hard to pick, they say they love drinking their own beer and it appears the judges do too.

Mini project’s huge impact Phillip Rollo A group of Nelson tradesmen, raffling off a Morris Mini for charity, hope to be selling tickets by this time next year. Now backed by Bowater Motor Group, the 1975 Morris Mini Mark III was on show at the Nelson A&P Show over the weekend and when it returns next year, it will be fully completed and ready to raffle off. The six Wakefield men behind the project came up with the idea having raised $2500 from the Relay for Life. They were disappointed that their fundraising efforts were beaten by an accountancy firm in Nelson and wanted to go one better. The plan was to restore a Mini and raise $10,000 for the Nelson Cancer Society. However, group spokesperson Bob Croy says they are now hoping to raise much more than
that figure. “We plan to have it finished in June and from then on we will sell raffle tickets,” says Bob. “Most people have come to us and offered to help. I’ve been thinking that we might go around and get a few more prizes to add to the raffle but they’re just ideas in my head at the moment.” The entire group includes Bob, Martin Reid, Dal Stewart, Colin Ryder, John Bruce and Chris Tonkin. Nick Harrison is the project’s panel beater. The feedback and support from the public has been so high that the group is no longer seeking voluntary help. Instead, they are telling people to donate when the raffle tickets go on sale. “All of the funds will end up at the Nelson Cancer Society, so it’s better if people just donate. We weren’t asking for money at the A&P Show but we still had people give us donations.”
Excited about Summer? So are we.

COMMUNITY NEWS Hello and welcome to our final community newsletter for 2012. It has been a really busy and successful year for the community centre with an increase in activities and services on offer resulting in many more people getting active, involved and connected within their community. We now regularly have people dropping in for a chat and a cup of tea, to ask what’s happening in the community or simply to share with us flowers and produce from their gardens. Two of our biggest successes have been the garden group which meets monthly and has seen membership grow from 6 people to over 40, and our indoor netball teams which had 20 people put their hand up to subject themselves to the fun, fitness and feistiness that is indoor netball! The year has been a real celebration of engagement and participation within our community. A lot of friendships and connections have been made and I am confident this will continue throughout 2013.
r e t t e l
We are really looking forward to our ‘Picnic in the Park’ happening this Sunday at 4pm as it will be a fun way to finish off the year and there will also be a chance for people to reflect and comment on how they view the Community Centre and what they would like from us in the future. So, with the sunny, silly season approaching, be sure to make some time for yourself as well as others. Relax, have fun, join us at our picnic and put checking out the Tahunanui Community Centre on your ‘to do’ list for 2013.

Tahunanui Community Centre is holding a community picnic this coming Sunday 2nd Dec in Burrell Park from 4-6pm. Organiser Jo Lavington says it is a chance for locals to unwind at the end of the weekend and enjoy some music, entertainment for the kids and BBQ food. People are invited to bring a picnic tea and head down with their families and friends to what will be a relaxing and enjoyable couple of hours. There will also be an opportunity for picnickers to comment on Tahunanui and the Community Centre, as well as offer ideas on what they would like to see happening in their neighbourhood in the coming year. While the picnic is planned as a no cost event for the community there is still a lot to come along for – some great music provided by ‘Doubleshot’, an up and coming band from the Mark Jansen guitar studio, a free bouncy castle for the kids, sausages donated by First National and Tahunanui Community Centre, as well as a chance to win a Christmas cake by matching Community Centre staff to their baby photos! So put aside a few hours this Sunday, head along to Burrell Park on Muritai St and finish off your week with your friends and neighbours.

A local resident will have got more than they bargained for last night when they arrived home to find a car had ploughed through their front fence. Yesterday at around 4pm, a man in his 50’s was driving along Annesbrook Drive, when an unexpected backlog of traffic forced him to take evasive action. Clipping two parked cars and shunting them forward before smashing through a local resident’s fence, the employee of Blackwoods Protector came to a halt in the front yard of the home and his manager Nigel Cottom, who was called to the scene, says although he was a bit battered and bruised, the man was ok. Owner of one of the smashed cars, Erin Ririnui, says she heard a bang and came out to find her parked car was missing. “I heard the bang, came out and couldn’t see my car, it wasn’t there. Not a good way to finish the day off.” Nigel says although the car had ended up narrowly missing the house, it was interesting to see where the vehicle had come to a stop. “The tyres have literally come to a halt alongside the house. It’s quite lucky really.” Nigel said he wasn’t sure who the owner of the home was, but he believed it was rented out. “They’ll come home to find a bit of an ornament in their garden.” An ambulance and police officer attended the scene, and no delays to traffic were noted.

• Navigation Safety Bylaw 218 was ratified by Nelson City Council on November 20 to take effect from December 1 2012. What does this mean to you? • For the sensible skipper it’s business as usual as this skipper is risk averse, makes considered decisions, knows the laws (Both nationally and locally) and generally behaves on the water however there may be some new points worth considering: • Certain areas of the harbour are set aside for specified predominant recreational purposes (priority activities) as indicated by the maps in the by-law. These zones do not give those undertaking the specified priority activity sole right of use in those zones, however when the specified priority activity is being undertaken other harbour users should act appropriately, eg avoid the zone….. • A Moving Prohibited Zone and Total Exclusion Zone has been introduced around any vessel of 3000 GRT or more ( the bigger size fishing vessels and up) i.e. the big ships have exclusive rights to the cut and smaller vessels should not enter the cut when big ships are there. • A Harbour Transit Lane has been established allowing vessels to legally exceed 5 knots when transiting the port provided they stay on the red beacon side of the channel and do not approach within 50 metres of any other vessel within the transit lane or port.
• There is an exclusion zone of 50m around any of the wharves or vessels tied to the wharves • The person in charge of a recreational vessel that is less than six metres in length shall ensure that every person shall wear a properly secured lifejacket unless 1) the person in charge gives express permission for lifejackets not to be worn 2) the person in charge of the vessel considers that conditions are such that there is no significant risk to the safety of any person through not wearing a life jacket. (This puts the burden of safety and accountability squarely on the skippers shoulders so be sensible and ensure everyone wears a lifejacket)- paddle-boarders this section makes special provision for and includes you. • Licenses are required from the council to operate a commercial vessel. • The marina is included in the new navigational safety by law. • Penalties and infringements are contained within the navigational safety bylaw. • The navigation safety bylaw can be viewed on the Nelson City Council website. If you have any queries relating to the bylaw please do not hesitate to email the Harbour Master at harbourmaster@portnelson.co.nz . • Ensure you know the rules. We look forward to enjoying a safe summer with you If in doubt – don’t go out

Cameron Ford hopes a $1000 scholarship can keep him on track to reaching his next goal of qualifying for the World Junior Track Championship. The Year 11 Waimea College track cyclist received the McGlashen Pharmacy Scholarship given to one talented local teenager to help push them forward in their respective career. Cameron, who accepted the $1000 cheque just one day before flying off to Adelaide for the Oceania Track Championships with the national Under-19 team, says it's tough being a track cyclist in McGlashen Pharmacy owner Andrew McGlashen hands Nelson, especially due to the fact over a $1000 scholarship to cyclist Cameron Ford.

Returning sprinter wins double Phillip Rollo Alex Jordan returned home to claim the sprint double at Saturday’s Tasman Championship, although he was made to work for his win in the 100m final. The 20 year old two-time 400m national champion used his one week stopover in Nelson to open his athletics season and was pleased with his winning times of 11.05 seconds in the 100m and 22.04 seconds in the 200m. “I was pretty happy, I’m just coming out of winter training and I wasn’t really expecting to run that fast. I could’ve run anywhere between 10.9 seconds and 11.4 seconds, so I’m pleased it was closer to 10.9,” he says. The former Nayland College student moved to Wellington this year to study at Victoria University and has been working harder on a speed and fitness base, hoping it will pay dividends as he looks to qualify for the World University Games in Kazan, Russia next year. To qualify, Alex has to meet an ‘A standard’

of 46.7 seconds over the 400m during the season, which is actually slower than his personal best. “I need to get that time under my belt before January or February so it’s off my mind. My goals for the summer are to qualify for that and to have a crack at the New Zealand senior record which is 46.09 seconds, win nationals and then get prepared for the European season.” Alex will run a 300m against all of the country’s leading 400m runners in Dunedin this week and says he is unlikely to race again in Nelson until after the New Year. Some of Alex’s high school opposition were hitting form ahead of the New Zealand Secondary School Track and Field Championship and clocked personal bests behind him. Fifteen year old sprinter Jonas Kale ran 11.39 seconds to finish second place in the 100m final while his training partner Adam Pauling ran 23.09 seconds to finish runner up in the senior 200m final.

School 7s teams off to nationals Andrew Board Nelson College is hoping to take one step further at the national Condor 7s competition in Auckland this weekend and coach Phil Ave reckons they’ve got the talent to do it. Nelson was runner up at last year’s tournament, which includes the top secondary school teams from around New Zealand. This year’s squad has retained the majority of its “strike weapons” while adding depth in the forwards says Phil and that will be an advantage. But he says reaching last year’s final will also mean the team will carry a target on its back this year. “Last year we flew under the radar a bit, we won’t be taken as lightly this time around,” says Phil. “I think if we get out of the pool we’ll be alright. The further the tournament goes the better for us, because of fitness. At the pool phase everyone is fresh so it will be the toughest part for us.” The squad features all but one player from the school’s 1st XV
this year and includes top attacking players Mitchell Hunt, Mitchell Drummond, Kerehama Barrett and Steve Soper who was last year included in the tournament team. Nayland College also has a team in the women’s competition of the Condor 7s. Both schools qualified for the tournament at a regional competition last month. Phil says an added incentive for the players will be the presence of national coach and 7s legend Gordon Tietjens. “They’ve been told that this is the age group he’s looking at for the 2016 Olympics so it’s a great opportunity for these guys but at the same time the competition will be fierce so it will be a big challenge as well.” Nayland College coach Francis Kara says the tournament will be an opportunity for his team to test themselves against the best in the country but is realistic about their chances. He says with 7s now an Olympic sport the opportunity for talent to be spotted at national tournaments is a good incentive for his players.

Record turnout for Run Mahana A record number of competitors took part in Sunday’s Run Mahana, and through the hundreds of first-timers and experienced runners, none were quicker than half marathon winner Brian Kemp. Brian clocked in at Woollaston Estate with a time of one hour 21 minutes and 51 seconds, less than one minute ahead of runner up Alan Bryson.
Nick Crocker was third in one hour 26 minutes and 46 seconds. This year’s Run Mahana, hosted by Nelson Events for the fourth consecutive year in its current format attracted more than 1000 participants. Colette Read took out the women’s half marathon with Steve Parker winning the walk. Lyn Smith won the women’s walk.

Nelson driver takes series lead
Phillip Rollo
The letter ‘n’ didn’t account for any home advantage on Saturday night but Greg Teece was just stoked to be able to win in front of friends and family. The Nelson sprintcar driver currently leads the General Tyres War of the Wings Series after two feature race wins from three meetings. The only time he didn’t win, on Friday night in Blenheim, the 75n driver still managed to pick up a podium spot. Because sprintcars are only rarely seen in Nelson, Greg has found himself travelling across the country as part of the War of the Wings Series instead. But he’s clearly happy with how things have been going so far this season as he chances the $60,000 cash prize up for grabs. “It’s a pretty awesome buzz to be doing so well,” he says. “There was no home advantage at all. A lot of the drivers have started at midgets and TQs and come to Nelson before. But I’ve only done one practice this season in Nelson so it’s no advan-
tage at all.” Greg always wanted to be a sprintcar driver but finally got the opportunity three seasons ago when his work-mate Kevin Freeman offered him a drive during a practice session in Nelson. “It all started there really. He gave me a lease deal that I couldn’t refuse. But I think he enjoys watching it as much as he enjoys driving it.” War of the Wings will continue to head around the South Island, with points accumulated for each car you pass in your heat and for performances in the feature race. Greg picked up two heat wins and one second place on Saturday, before winning the feature. “I was struggling to come to terms with the track in my heats and it wasn’t really until the third one that we started getting some good times. But hopefully we can perform as well in Christchurch on December 15 as well as we’ve been doing here.” Greg wanted to thank sponsors Aimex, Billy Bob Hot Rod Emporium, HTFU Water Company and to Murray Teece for looking after the track.

Nelson thrash West Coast in opener Phillip Rollo Nelson will head into one of its toughest assignments of the zone 3 Hawke Cup series on the back of a commanding win over West Coast. Nelson’s next opponent Marlborough have not played a match yet and skipper BJ Barnett believes his bowling attack will be primed for the battle after claiming 20 wickets on a batter-friendly Saxton Oval. Nelson opener Dan Cooper hit an unbeaten century on day one, while Marty Kain hit a quick fire 67 runs before being caught at first slip. Even after seeing one batsman head back to the sheds, Nelson continued to deliver more punishment to the poor West Coast bowling attack with Greg Hay and Dan clocking up 224 runs between them as the pair ended the innings on 112 each before declaring. West Coast struggled with the bat, only reaching a dismal 73 in reply to Nelson’s 310/1 declared. Pace bowler Joe O’Connor claimed four
wickets for just 22 runs while Marty claimed three of his own. Connor Neynens, Dean Hawley and Dylan Eginton also ended the innings with a wicket to their name. With the follow on enforced, Nelson ensured they would claim an outright victory. While it took longer than expected, West Coast could only manage 224 in reply. Connor, Dean and Dylan took two wickets a piece in the second innings with Marty claimed another three and BJ was left to seal the match. BJ says the match “got a little bit niggley” towards the end, but that it was good to finish them off. “It was quite a hard wicket to take wickets on so to create some opportunities was quite good and was something that we worked on,” he says. "In the past West Coast can be a hard team to beat outright, especially away because the weather dictates how many overs can be played. “So it was good to play them at home and pick up the outright victory.”
