Trolley derby takes off A record number of trolleys raced down Collingwood St in the Robertson’s Trolley Derby delighting the two thousand strong crowd.

Inclement weather couldn’t stop over 100 people taking part in more than 80 trolleys, although the weather did play a part in the Resene Monarch of the Hill with two spectacular spills after the finish line.

Nelson Trolley Club President Tim Bayley – who won the Monarch of the Hill – says the highlight on the day came from the Nippers. Eighteen youngsters took part in the beginners’ category. Parents ran down the hill following their children in the trolleys and quickly had to run back up the hill to start them off again, although after the fourth run the parents weren’t moving as quickly. “They just kept moving. They had about four runs and kept moving the start line up the hill so they could get faster and faster,” says Tim. “They really had a ball.”

Tim says there had been a big focus on the Nippers this year and it showed with huge interest from a number of schools entering trolleys.

Afternoon drizzle turned the finish line in to a slippery tarmac and some trolleys in the Monarch of the Hill had trouble braking. No one was injured in the crashes, just dented trolleys.

Roberton’s Trolley Derby will also be on show in the $1.2 million film Kiwi Flyer. The climax racing scene was filmed during the lunch break in the derby.

Rutherford Park ‘essential’ to Nelson’s growth Nelson has the opportunity to have a world class city-to-waterfront space if Rutherford Park is developed correctly, says mayor Aldo Miccio.

A major development of the park forms a large chuck of the talking points in this year’s Nelson City Council draft annual plan, now out for public discussion. With a proposed $58 million earmarked for the Rutherford Park area, between Trafalgar Park and the Trafalgar Centre, it is also certain to attract the most attention when the submission process begins.

But it is clear Aldo backs some sort of development in the area and says it is vital for the continued growth of the city. “With Saxton Field we have a facility that is a leading sporting facility in New Zealand and once the Rutherford Park development is through to its completion – if we get the linkages right from Trafalgar Park, Rutherford Park, the sea and the city – then we have a world leading waterfront

Letters to the editor NEWS IN BRIEF The Nelson City Council is to be commended for admitting it realises we are living in tough economic times but one wonders if these are really weasel words when we see in the draft annual plan a proposal to spend almost $60 million on Arts and Conference Centres, both of which are destined to be financial nightmares.

For starters, no arts centre in NZ makes a profit, and Nelson is not on the major conference circuit and will never be until Air NZ stops ripping us off with its excessive “no competition” fares.

There are accommodation shortages.

The Berl and Shand reports both show the limitations Nelson has but our council is hell bent on bankrupting the city to build its monuments to stupidity.

Andrew Talley gave us some disturbing statistics, three percent of NZ conferences seat over 500 persons, a further seven percent have 250-500,

average NZ Conference 180-250 persons, and our knowledgeable Council wants to build a facility to cater for up to 700 persons. Talk about ‘pie in the sky’ stuff.

I challenge the NCC to provide the facts (all of them) and conduct a poll, as mayor Miccio promised at election time. That’s true democracy.

Errol Millar, Nelson.

I’d like to congratulate the Nelson Weekly on the eye-catching photo and lively piece on Nelson College Prep’s victory in the recent Kids’ Lit Quiz, which promotes and celebrates the sport of reading.

I won’t skydive, I’ll get hooked, says former jumper Keith Cranness is a little embarrassed that we are talking to him about the Nelson Parachute Club reunion this weekend – “I only did 300 jumps,” he says. “It’s bugger all mate.”

But the former club president, who lives in Stoke, was one of the many keen souls that kept the club alive and made it notoriously fun. In fact the club attracted “social club” members that didn’t even skydive, but were a part of the club for its social scene. Keith says he always wanted to skydive and was also a motorbike racer in England before immigrating to New Zealand, “I loved the adrenaline, I knew I would be a skydiver since I was a kid.”

His last jump was in 1978 and he says he is going to the reunion this weekend but refuses to jump, even for old time sake, “I’ll get hooked on it again, I know it and I can’t afford to get hooked on it, it’s too expensive for me now,” he jokes.

The Nelson Parachute Club was founded in 1964 and operated out of its clubrooms at Nelson Airport until it folded in 2002.

With the death of former members Chris McDonald and Rod Miller in Fiordland last year former club member Chrissie Small says it was decided to have a reunion before any other past members passed away. “We said to each other ‘we shouldn’t be meeting at funerals and decided to have a reunion before we lost anyone else.”

The reunion is being held this weekend in Mapua and Motueka, and involves dinner, dancing and, of course, skydiving.

Keith says it will nice to see former club members again. “I’ll go and I’ll enjoy it, we used to have the best time, people would come to skydive in Nelson and not want to leave because they had so much fun.”

The parachute club was “like one big family” Homesell provides assistance to home owners with one of the largest financial transactions that they will make - selling their home. There are a number of reasons why you would use Homesell rather than trying to do this entirely by yourself (or by using agents).

PLENTY OF MEMORIES: Former president of the Nelson Parachute Club Keith Cranness is looking forward to its reunion this weekend. Photo: Andrew Board. says Keith and the thrill of what they were doing bound them together. “You could go all over the world and have a special bond with other jumpers. It’s a great community to be involved in.”

He still remembers his first jump as “bloody scary, man” and although he clocked up another 299 in his skydiving career says every time was a buzz no matter how used to it you got.

For past members who want to register Chrissie says it is best to give her an email at godot.1@hotmail.com.

“We’ve got jumpers, friends, pilots, all sorts of people coming. Anyone associated with the club is welcome to register,” she says.

On display during the weekend will also be old trophies and memorabilia.

Women’s lifestyle expo back in Nelson One of Nelson’s most popular events, the Women’s Lifestyle Expo returns next weekend. Renee Murray of Peacocks Promotions, organisers of the expo, says with many other expos coming and going over the years, the Women’s Lifestyle Expo has flourished. “There are not many events in the region that see over 110 exhibits in one venue. One reason for the Expo’s continued success is the way we try and keep it fresh for visitors, so year after year they can see new companies and new entertainment” This year there is lots on offer for the local “foodies”. Local Chef, Stuart Cliffin, from Relish Waterfront Dining will feature at this years Expo with cooking demonstrations held each day. There are also a range of gourmet goods to tempt your taste buds, such as wine, truffles, confectionary, organic coffee, natural lemonade, vodka and much more. Local brewery McCashin’s will feature on site with their variety of spirits, beer and cider. One lucky Expo visitor could win a trip for two to beautiful Vanuatu with New Idea Magazine who will also feature at the Expo, handing out free copies of their latest issue while stocks last.

The Women’s Lifestyle Expo is on at the Trafalgar Centre, April 9 and 10, for more information see www. expos.co.nz or find us on facebook.

More Habitat homes coming to Nelson The house warming of Nelson’s Jefferies family included a rather large gift – and it wasn’t just the keys to the new house.

The Jefferies family is the newest proud owners of a Habitat for Humanity home in Nelson, the 14th built in just 15 years. But Nelson MP Nick Smith announced that two more Nelson homes would be able to be built in the city via Habitat for Humanity, thanks to a $240,000 grant by the Housing Innovation Fund.

The announcement drew spontaneous applause amongst an already excited crowd, thrilled to see another worthy family take up residence in another Habitat home.

Nelson president of Habitat for Humanity Julian Shields, says he was “overjoyed” to see the Jeffer-

ies take the keys do their new home. “It’s wonderful and the best home we’ve built so far.”

The building started last November and was aided by several American volunteers who helped get things started. It was then up to local builder Rob Silcock and his team to finish it off.

Paul Jefferies says the family was so excited to move in that their boxes were all packed the morning of the dedication and he was “eternally grateful” for the support he and his family had received.

“This is a very humbling experience and the start of a new exciting chapter for us.”

Nick was at the dedication to the first Habitat for Humanity home in Nelson in 1999 and says the latest is the greatest. “This is such a wonderful moment, the Nelson community is right behind you.”

The home at St Lawrence St was dedicated on Sunday.

Habitat for Humanity is a worldwide organisation that gives people in need a hand up.

Supporting families like the Jefferies build their own home adds to the sense of accomplishment and helps build the culture of home ownership.

Nelson city councillors Rachel Reese and Ian Barker also atWELCOME HOME: The Jefferies family at their new home are from left; tended the dedication ceremony.

The entire school roll of Auckland Point School visited Nelson’s iconic Boulder Bank last week, including students Caleb Orr, 9, Mac Russell, 10, Imogen Scholfield, 9, and Eden Rutherfurd, 8, above.

Principal Sonia Hockley says the trip was taken after a school study into the Boulder Bank, Marine reserve and Port by the school’s students. Once on the Boulder Bank, students explored it and visited the lighthouse. Sonia says the students “loved” the visit. “The boat trip over there was exciting for many of them because we had to fundraise for a while to pay for it.”

The 46 pupils also looked into the bird life and other creatures that call Nelson Haven home.

PLENTY OF PUMPKIN: Tahunanui School student Kate Bryant, 6, with her giant pumpkin for this weekend’s school gala. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Giant pumpkins headline Tahuna School gala Kate Bryant believes her pumpkin the size of “two little heavy mums” will take out the giant pumpkin growing competition at the Tahunanui School gala this weekend, but her biggest challenge is getting it there.

The six year-old has been taking good care of her pumpkin every single day since she planted it and could not believe how much it has grown.

Kate’s mum, Ange, is hopeful their pumpkin will be one of the biggest at the gala. “There could be some sneaky pumpkins around Tahunanui that we don’t know about. It might be one of the bigger ones, but it may not be the biggest,” says Ange.

Good compost, regular watering and a bit of luck is their secret to success and they estimate their pumpkin to be more than 120kg.

Kate would like to make a jack-o-lantern out of the pumpkin once the competition is completed.

“But we might need a chainsaw to do that.”

A trailer and some strong blokes will help get the pumpkin to the school, says Ange.

The pumpkin growing competition, along with a mammoth swimathon, headline the 2011 edition of one of the region’s most successful annual school galas.

The school gala is one last push towards fundraising for the school’s new pool so the swimathon gives children a first hand chance to help.

Current and past students, teacher and parents will be swimming 26 kilometers or 1421 lengths of the pool, the distance of the Cook Strait. They have been seeking local sponsorship and there are plenty of prizes for those who can swim the most lengths on the day.

Other fun activities include a downhill waterslide, a Sport Tasman bike course, international food stalls, chocolate wheel, produce, the white elephant and much more.

The gala kicks off this Sunday at 11am. The giant pumpkin competition commences at 11:15am.

Talking turkey to get to Turkey Steph Trengrove found it embarrassing carrying a giant-sized cheque around Nelson College for Girls last week. But this week the 17 year-old hopes to be handling a boarding pass to Gallipoli as she looks to scoop the top prize at the National Bank RSA Cyril Bassett VC Speech Competition.

Steph won $1000, from National Bank, and the regional final of prestigious new secondary school speech competition last week and has now qualified for the national final in Wellington.

Nelson College for Girls also received $1000 and a military book. The winner of the national competition, though, wins a trip to Gallipoli for Anzac day along with a brand new laptop and camera to record their experience.

The theme of her speech identifies national pride, that kiwis are different. “Kiwi soldiers aren’t just soldiers, they’re Kiwis,” says Steph. “They’re our people and they come from our country.”

“I can’t relate to war, I can’t relate to be-

ing a soldier, but I can relate to being a Kiwi and what it feels like to be patriotic about my country.”

Steph’s father is a brigadier in the military while her mother is a former solider. So who does she take to Gallipoli if she wins? “Mum’s already bagsed it.

Dad was away so he didn’t even get a look in.”

Steph competed in the regional competition last year, she only received highly recommended in 2010 but got to perform the speech at the dawn service.

All of the $1000 will go towards she university fees where she intends to study international law at Victoria University. “It’s so upsetting. But I have to pay for it somehow.”

Some heavy research, novel reading and asking her dad, was enough information needed for the speech which has put her in the top nine nationally.

Steph says winning the trip to Gallipoli would be a once in a life time opportunity. “I’m pretty patriotic so It’d be the most moving experience.”

The spine of Port Nelson is Vickerman St and along it is a surprising array of businesses from eatery’s to marine engineers and retail stores.

Vickerman St was named after Captain Frank Vickerman, an officer and master of the Anchor Company for 55 years. He retired in 1924 and had the street named after him when the big reclamation was in full swing in the 1960’s.

Today Vickerman St honours its namesake with a large amount of marine businesses, but it is much more than that. In this feature are some of the vibrant businesses that help make the Port what it is.

ENL Electronic Navigation Founded in 1946, Electronic Navigation is a privately owned business with over 60 years experience within the New Zealand marine industry. ENL’s solid reputation for genuine service, innovation and supplying quality marine electronic products is founded on highly experienced staff and the commitment to excellence. From the most complex application for defence, commercial fishing and super yacht use, to a stand-alone fish finder for a trailer boat, ENL has the experience and expertise necessary to specify, supply, install and service quality marine electronics. ENL are not only the distributor for many leading brands of marine electronics, they have also developed and manufactured their own seabed mapping product, WASSP, which is now distributed worldwide.

Sounds is one of the iconic recreational fisheries in New Zealand and offers important benefit to amateur fishers.

However, there have been long-standing concerns about the sustainability of blue cod within the Sounds given the high levels of recreational fishing pressure in the area. In 2008, the then Minister of Fisheries closed an area of the Marlborough Sounds to amateur fishing

closure was to stop any decline of blue cod numbers in the closed areas and provide an opportunity for recreational stakeholders to work together towards developing a new management approach. This opportunity has now been provided and a set of management rules have been developed.

The Minister has announced that the fishery will reopen on 1 April 2011 with

to produce great boats for his customers. The new FREWZA F14 Sport Console is a great all rounder boat having the added benefit of a side console for forward steering, giving you extra storage space.

The new rules aim not only to manage the level of recreational catch, but also to make sure that the blue cod can successfully reproduce to sustainable levels. This is necessary to ensure the Marlborough blue cod fishery remains healthy for future generations. For more information visit www.fish.govt.nz (go to HOT TOPICS then Marlborough Sounds Blue Cod).

Challenger Finfisheries Management Company Ltd is one of a number of CSOs (commercial stakeholder organisations) representing the property rights of quota owners in the New Zealand seafood industry. Quota owners can be fishermen or investors or companies who employ fishermen.

The company represents 55 inshore fishstocks in fisheries management areas 7 & 8 which encompass the regions of Marlborough Sounds, Tasman and Golden Bays, west coast South Island and up into the Taranaki region. The predominant fish species caught by our inshore finfishermen are Snapper, Blue Cod, Red Cod, Bluenose, Monkfish, Tarakihi,

Warehou, Gurnard, Trevally, Rig, Blue Moki, Flounder, Groper, Turbot, School Shark and John Dory.

The regions support a number of local fishermen who contribute to their local community and economy, and provide stewardship towards sustainable fisheries. Take the Marlborough Sounds for example you can count the number of fishermen targeting Blue Cod on one hand. They use the very selective fishing method of cod potting and are governed by the quota management system for the amount of fish they can catch. As a quota owner they also contribute to science and research through the Ministry of Fisheries cost recovery regime.

Nayland brothers team up for Giants Phillip Rollo

IN BRIEF AThlETicS: Alex Jordan is the New Zealand 200m and 400m champion after blitzing the field at the New Zealand Track and Field Championship in Dunedin.

Nelson College’s Mike Lowe earned Tasman their first medal of the meet with a silver medal in the Men’s 16 3000m in a personal best of 8min 53.48sec, while Hazel Bowering-Scott took silver in the Women’s 19 200m with a time of 25.69 seconds and hurdler Deirdre Anderson claimed bronze in the W19 100m hurdles with a time of 16.01 sec. crickET: Car Company Stoke/Nayland will look to add one more trophy to the cabinet this Saturday when they face off against rivals Waimea Toi Toi United in the one day final at Saxton Oval.

The Dempster family now has two reasons to snap up their season passes to this year’s Giants’ season.

Aaron Dempster has joined older brother Sam in the Fico Finance Nelson Giants 14-man roster as the Nayland College basketball factory continues to take giant strides.

The two brothers follow the path of Chris Daniel as the latest former Nayland College students to make an NBL roster. And they could be followed by even more representation with Zeb Lovell, 17, and New Zealand under-18 player Scott Cameron, 17, filling the development spots.

Aaron, 18, captained Nayland College to fourth place at the New Zealand Secondary School Basketball Championship last year - the highest finish in the school’s history - and says it was a proud moment for his family when he was included in the Giants’ squad.

Sam enters the fray in his third campaign and is hoping to follow on from last season were he took the court in 11 matches as a small forward averaging 3.9 minutes a game.

Aaron, who plays point-guard, says the transition in to the NBL will be easier training alongside his brother. “It’s quite good because he can help you out with anything and we’re close so if there’s any troubles then he helps me. And sometimes I can give him some help with moves and stuff,” he says.

Both boys admit the sibling rivalry ended years ago and they are more focussed on learning off each other and their ex-

perienced team-mates. “The Giants is a good environment to improve your game. Players like Phil Jones and Mika [Vukona] will help you get better. So I just want to get stronger as a player.”

Nelson College has been a breeding ground for developing Giants in previous years but Sam hopes the number of Nayland College students coming through the ranks, shows that Nayland

has now emerged as the top basketball college in Nelson. Sam is also co-coaching the Nayland senior A boys basketball team.

The Giants’ first pre-season assignment is a two-day tournament in Palmerston North on April 2-3. Nelson will play Taranaki, Wellington and Hawke’s Bay in shortened games on the Saturday, before meeting Manawatu on Sunday.

last countries in the world to follow suit and change to the water borne paint systems and most of our car and truck repair industry is still using the toxic, solvent based systems.

This new system comes with a lifetime warranty on all paints applied but that will never be a problem on modern vehicles according to Brad Kelling. “It has been getting more and more difficult to get colours and matchings right as we were using solvent products against factory water based paint and that always effected colours and Brad & Marney Kelling from Brad’s Smash textures. Now the matching Repairs in Wakatu Industrial Estate is perfect and the paint is as tough, if not tougher than the old solvent based. In many cases we are using the exact same paint as the vehicle manufacturer” he says. PPG Industries NZ has worked with Brads and been instrumental in introducing the new eco friendly paint system. Brad and Marney admit that while the customer will have little to do with this system their insurance companies do, and as they point out the individual customers can now nominate which repairer should fix their car after an accident. “At the end of the day our high quality workmanship has been up graded, and our paint system is not only better and tougher it’s got that very real eco friendly angle. As parents of two young children we are actually very happy with what we have done as a company to ensure their future” says Marney. “It was a big move and commitment for us and I know we have made the right decision. After all, water based paint on vehicles isn’t a new thing. It has been around for twenty years, but most of us never knew”. Brads Smash Repairs are available for any questions the public or the insurance industry may have and welcome any enquiry.

Stoke Eagles dominate softball champs The Stoke Eagles soared to twin titles over the weekend, with both its men’s and women’s teams winning the Intercity softball finals in Marlborough.

The women’s side dispatched of Royals Xtreme 4-1 in a high-quality, tight final. Both sides played a big hitting game, providing plenty of catching opportunities, which Eagles outfielder Abbie Grant enjoyed, taking three catches.

The Eagles scored in the first, fourth and sixth inning to comfortably take the title in the seven inning contest. Michelle Simpson was a standout

with the bat, striking at 1000 and hitting both left and right handed.

The title adds to the Nelson Club final championship that the Stoke Eagles also won over Royals Xtreme on March 19.

In the men’s competition the Stoke Eagles overcame the Waimea Eagles in the final, winning 8-2. The game was tightly fought with the teams tied coming into the seventh and final inning, until Stoke unleashed its big hitters and battered in six runs to kill off the Waimea attack and retain its Intercity title.

Stoke refocus ahead of first home game Stoke’s team huddle at the conclusion of last week’s hefty loss against Waimea Old Boys would not have been a happy place, but head coach Jason Hulina says he is confident the turnaround from his troopers will be swift.

Accessman Stoke heads into its first home match of the year this Saturday against a Huia side that narrowly lost to Nelson over the weekend.

But Jason says the players are determined to get their season back on track following the sides first up win over Riwaka and Saturday’s loss at Jubilee Park.

“We have a mountain of areas to work on which will only make us more focused and dominant as the season progresses. We were humbled by a Waimea side that was definitely there to play a hard confrontational game,” he says.

“We never found our natural rhythm and were forced into rash errors and uncharacteristic lapses of judgement.”

The news is not all bad for Stoke though, the kicking display of Waimea’s Andrew Leatham was outstanding and it was that which killed the game for the visitors.

Stoke knows how to win and Jason says it is determined to do so in front of its home fans this Saturday.

Chris Little scored Stoke’s only try in the 35-13 loss with Shaun Begg kicking a conversion and two penalty goals.

This Saturday’s match kicks off at Greenmedows at 3pm with the division 2 side, which was thrashed by Waimea 73-6 last weekend, playing the curtain raiser OFF-LOAD: Stoke div 2 player Phil Asi off-loads the ball against Huia at 1.15pm. under heavy fire from Waimea Old Boys.
