Fish & Chip shop’s $2000 table Owners of a fish and chip shop could be forced to pay more than $2000 a year in council fees after they attempted to upgrade their outdoor seating. Bruce Maxfield and Roy Gray, owners of the Sands Fish & Chip shop in Tahunanui, want to upgrade their current outdoor seating to offer two wooden picnic tables as permanent fixtures out the front of their busy takeaway shop. After seeking advice
Sinead Ogilvie Reporter
reporter@nelsonweekly.co.nz from Nelson City Council they were told that any outdoor seating needed to have consent as the property outside the space they lease is officially part of State Highway 6.
They received two proposals from the council with an option to place the tables directly in front of the entry to their shop at a cost of $960 plus GST per year or they could occupy a larger area at a cost of $2240 plus GST per year. The fact that they needed consent has come as a complete surprise to Bruce who says the current tables and chairs have been there for years without being paid for.

“The last owner had chairs and tables out there for five years without having to pay a yearly fee, we just don’t understand why all of a sudden it’s an issue.” Bruce argues that having seating, tables, and plants, his shop and the neighbouring businesses are all aesthetically enhancing elements to the area and he doesn’t see

Family garden rated ‘nationally significant’ Nelson’s Thackwood Garden has been awarded 5 stars and recognised as a “garden of national significance” by the New Zealand Gardens Trust. The rating places it in the same category as both Auckland Botanic Gardens and the Government House Gardens in Wellington. Nestled in a fourth generation, 300 acre farm, in Wakapuaka, it was Karen and Murray Gill’s love of the land that led to the development of a two-acre English cottage garden. The New Zealand Garden Trust inspects registered gardens every three years, assessing them on numerous factors including garden design, planting design, use of ornamentation, horticulture and maintenance. Kerei Thompson, chairman of the New Zealand Garden Trust, says that the trust’s main role is to foster regional networks of gardens that the public can visit. “We provide gardens with a mark of quality assurance, so that visitors can be sure if they’re making a trip to view a garden it’s going to be worth their

“It’s quite freeing knowing the shops aren’t open. Is it really that much to ask for shops to be closed for a day?”
“I think shops and nightclubs should be open, as I work in a nightclub. I don’t like the short three hour shift I have to do.”
“I don’t see why we need any more shopping days.”
“I had such a great chillout day on Friday, I think all people who work in retail need time out.”
Fish & Chip shop’s $2000 table council’s responsibility to manage road reserves (footpath) in agreement with NZTA in this case. Any fees collected for using road reserves go towards the council’s operational costs to maintain and enhance public areas within these reserves, such as footpaths, paving, and vegetation.” Bruce says he wants a good explanation from the council as to why they need to pay such a large amount of money and he would like them to show him what the money is going towards. “I’d like to see some evidence of the council beautifying the area. What are they using the money for? In my opinion it’s an exorbitant price for a business of our size. We are offering a service to local people and a huge number of tourists, some of whom simply just want to take a seat while they eat their meal.” What do you think?

FROM PAGE 1 what the money paid in consent fees could possibly go towards, given that it’s the tenants themselves who keep the area tidy and maintained. “To my knowledge we and the other business owners are the ones out there sweeping, watering the grass and keeping things tidy, not the council.” His view was echoed by Kite Surf Nelson owner Shane Anderson who has outdoor seating also says he supports Bruce and Roy’s bid “100 per cent”. “The outdoor area is good for our community and good for the local businesses. For me it is a grey area because as far as I am aware, the council aren’t taking care of it or cleaning it. It’s pretty much no man’s land.” Angela Ricker, manager of community relations for the Nelson City Council, says that

Nelson gondola to be a ‘world class attraction’

andrew@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Plans for a “world class” gondola in Nelson will take a giant leap forward today if Nelson City Council agrees to fund a feasibility study as expected. Nelson Cycle Lift Society has asked the council for funding for its study into the project which, if successful, will see a 1.6 kilometre gondola go from the Brook Valley to the top of Fringed Hill. The gondola will be targeted at mountain bikers but will also be used by sight seers with a restaurant and café also planned for the gondola’s summit. Spokesman for the society, Jo Rainey, says the gondola will be a “world class attraction” for Nelson. “This is going to be an outstanding mountain biking park, like nothing else in New Zealand and could be a worldclass resort.” Jo says the tourist numbers “stack up” and the mountain bike park and gondola would attract more people to the region. He says there are a number of avenues to attract investors for the business which could cost “anywhere from $5

The Queenstown gondola, which has proven to be a popular tourist attraction. The group behind the Nelson gondola plans hope it will be just as succesful. to $10 million”. The gondola will operate on council-owned land and will summit 800 metres above sea level, taking around six minutes to reach the top. If it goes ahead, it will be the biggest gondola in the country. Nelson mayor Aldo Miccio last week told the Nelson Weekly he was fully supportive of the project and expected his council colleagues to approve the $15,000 grant for the study today. “I’m incredibly excited to see the group at the point they have got to, they have been keeping me informed of progress over the last few years and I have been and visited the site
with them on a few occasions. I firmly believe this could be one of the single biggest economic opportunities for this region. A gondola of this nature will firmly cement our place as the mountain bike capital of New Zealand.” He says the views will be better than Queenstown and it has the potential to revolutionise the tourism industry in the region and give it a critical boost that it needs. “This will make us the mountain bike mecca of New Zealand, if not Australasia. I’d say it’s the biggest economic development project that the city will undertake in the next decade, for sure.”

Garden ‘nationally significant’ FROM PAGE 1 while, they’re going to see something really special”. As well as being open to the public through the New Zealand Gardens Trust, Karen and Murray Gill often open their garden for charitable causes, encouraging guests to bring a picnic and spend time relaxing and enjoying themselves. The Cancer Society and the Nelson Regional Breast Cancer Trust, have both been recipients of donations from previous open days. The garden also provides the backdrop for many tales of romance, Jo Henderson fondly remembers discovering the garden. “I went with my sister, a marriage celebrant, to Thackwood Garden after the owners contacted her to view the property as a potential venue. I fell in love with the gardens, the views and the space. I had been engaged for 17 years and wasn’t even planning to get married, but seeing this amazing garden set the wheels in motion.” Murray works full time as an insurance broker, and Karen part time at Jays Fashions in Nelson, they also run bed and breakfast accommodation, so as well as juggling all this, the garden really is a labour of love. Come rain or shine Karen and Murray spend most weekends hard at work in it, Karen says they were so thrilled to be awarded 5 stars by the New Zealand Gardens Trust. “It makes the long hours we spend in the garden really worthwhile. Honestly though, it brings us so much pleasure and we are happy we can share it with visitors,” she says.

Walking tall at 90 years old Phillip Rollo
Archie Hughes celebrated his 90th birthday by walking laps of Saxton Stadium and says being active has had huge benefits for his health. A regular at the Saxton Stadium Senior Indoor Walking Group, Archie has seen the group grow by more than 500 per cent over the past two years with more than 50 older adults meeting three times a week at the stadium. Archie was encouraged by his doctor to begin exercising and he’s never looked back. “He told me to give Saxton Field a try and I said to Joyce my wife that she better come with me too and we’ve been walking ever since. It’s one of those things, you keep on going and it keeps you moving.” Archie says everyone is very friendly and nice in the group, which makes a big difference. “It’s nice to just walk around and enjoy the company. You don’t have to keep on going; you can sit down when you need to.” Tony Naylor, who manages Saxton Stadium, says Arch and Joyce are the perfect ambassadors for the group. “They have been attending the senior session at Saxton since it started way back in August 2010 and are proof that regular exercise really is good for you,” he says. The group celebrated Archie’s birthday last week and in addition to that it will be hosting a free Adults Activity Day on Tuesday April 16. The day will include activities such as Tai Chi, table tennis, dancing, indoor bowls, golf, sit and be fit, and other health promotions.

Nelson charities do it right Your Community Newspaper
Nelson charities say donors can rest assured that money donated to them goes to the cause and not in the pockets of those running the charity. The assurance comes a fortnight after Nelson Weekly exposed an Australian-based trust that was collecting in the region and was found to have donated less than 4 per cent of the $1.1million given to it for cancer research in the past four years by ordinary New Zealanders, with the rest going towards salaries and administration costs. Nelson charities say they are furious with the actions of the Cancer Research Charitable Trust and they rely on the generosity of locals to keep their services alive. Hamish Kennedy, project manager of the Nelson Tasman Regional Hospice Trust, says he’s “totally disgusted” with the actions of the Australian trust and that around 90 per cent of each dollar donated to the hospice goes to the “coal face”. “There are administration costs but easily more than 80 per cent of all money raised goes to the coal face and it all stays local. We’re here to support doctors, nurses and most importantly patients,” he says. Marie Johnston, chair of the Tasman Red Cross Area Council, says all money collected by the Red

Cross in Nelson stays in the region and its administration costs are covered by national headquarters. “We have local programmes that are funded by donations, like Meals on Wheels, Save a Mate for young people and other initiatives’. Your money goes back to the community and stays in Nelson.” Both charities say they do not go door knocking and don’t know of any “legitimate” charity that does. “No legitimate charity really does door knocking anymore and people should be cautious of people doing it,” says Marie, while Hamish said the hospice would “never” go door knocking asking for donations. On the Cancer Research Charitable Trust that gave just over 4 per cent of its donations to cancer research, Marie says she was “furious” to read about it. “He should be put in jail, it makes me angry and it makes want to ask him how he could do this, how dare he?” An urgent review of the trust by the Department of Internal Affairs is on-going and fundraising has been suspended in New Zealand by the trust in response to the original article published in the Weekly.

Rain clears for Mapua Easter Fair The popular Mapua Easter Fair has raised in excess of $30,000 yet again for the local school and playcentre, despite morning rain raising questions whether it would even go ahead. Rain stopped shortly after the earlier start of 9am pleasing stall holders and those that had
turned up armed with raincoats and umbrellas. Jane Smith, who is one of the organsiers and had a stall at the event, says the Mapua Easter Fair is the biggest of its kind in the South Island. “We knew it was going to be wet and clear up so we wanted to go ahead regardless. It’s a fantastic
fundraiser for the school and the playcentre, they really depend on that money so to have a sunny day was so good.” Jane believed the traffic problems experienced last year had reduced considerably with more people utilising the Great Taste Cycle Trail.

Rescue centre upgrade
Members of the Nelson Custom Motorcycle Club from left; Tyron Penno, Brendan Benjamin, Miki Djukanovic and Steve Wood.
Custom made motorbike club A new motorbike club has established itself in Nelson, with its focus on custom bikes. The Nelson Custom Motorcycle Club was founded at the start of this year and already has close to 20 members. Founder Miki Djukanovic says custom bikes are growing in popularity and the club was proof of that. A custom motorbike is the twowheeled version of a hot rod, anything that isn’t stock standard. Miki says the club is hoping to do a bit of everything, from hosting workshop

nights, events, riding and just hanging out. “We want to create a social custom scene for girls and guys who want a good time, it’s a hobby and for people who want to enjoy themselves, flash their bikes, share ideas and just have a good time with other like-minded people.” Everyone is welcome says Miki, all makes and models and you don’t even need to own a custom bike, just if you’ve got an interest in it. Anyone keen to find out more about the club can call Miki on 022 046 4549.

Almost 21 years since it was built, the Marine Rescue Centre at Wakefield Quay is getting its first major upgrade. Harold Mason was a committee member of the group that organised the build of the centre and says the support from businesses during the current work is as good as it was the first time around. “The goodwill towards the building is tremendous,” he says. In the early 1990s, the Nelson Coastguard and the Nelson Surf lifesaving club, was one organisation and operated from an old single car garage on the waterfront. So a group formed to organise a new building. Harold says the Nelson Yacht Club handed over its lease of the ramp and adjoining land to the group and support from Gibbons Construction, Sealord, architect Ian Jack and other businesses helped them build the centre. “At that time Nelson was celebrating its 150th anniversary and companies all over Nelson were doing projects to mark the anniversary. Gibbons made this their project. We got three quotes from three different companies. They discount-
ed the end cost so this could be their project. They’ve also carried on that interest over the 20 years and any little jobs that needed to be done were done. It’s been fantastic.” Sealord donated money to the group for its naming rights. More than 20 years on many of the same businesses are still on board with the centre. Gibbons are doing the upgrade, Sealord, Port Nelson and Nelson City Council and paying the bill and other local businesses have stepped up to the plate to donate time, product or services. Local man Tom Sturgeon has also donated the cost of the material that will be laid on the roof of the building. Harold says it’s heartening to see people get behind the project. “It’s become a bit of a Nelson thing, the rescue centre on the waterfront, it’s there and it looks good. It’s octagonal and it has a nautical look, it has a lighthouse look.” The work is expected to be finished by the end of April. It includes a re-roofing, full paint job, new window and a refurbishing of the wind vane that sits on top of the building.

Good Friday for Stoke churches Around 100 people walked the streets of Stoke with a giant cross on Good Friday, commemorating the trail and crucifixion of Jesus Christ, according to the Bible. People from the Anglican, Baptist, Catholic, Elim, Methodist and Presbyterian churches in Stoke walked in a combined, hour-long procession.
The walk started at the Stoke Baptist Church with the first of six readings from the Bible about Jesus’ trials and crucifixion, followed by a prayer, calling at each of Stoke’s six churches on the way. It finished at the Stoke Methodist Church where refreshments and hot cross buns were served to a crowd which had swelled
to nearly 100. Organiser Rev Gary Clover says the procession was especially popular with children and the event has now been running for eight years. “[It] was first held on Good Friday 2005 by a committee of Catholic lay people from St Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, the procession has become an annual ecumenical feature
of the Stoke churches’ Good Friday observance,” he says. At each church a member of that church leads the observance with a passion reading and a prayer before the procession continues to the next church. Next year the procession will begin at the Stoke Methodist Church.
Wooden tank on display A Russian tank made completely out of carved wood will soon be turning heads as it rolls into the Suter Art gallery to be part of its Kaihono Ahua exhibition. The four by two metre almost to scale BDRM-2 Scout Car is part of a series of carved weapons by Auckland artist Brett Graham. He says it took more than six weeks to complete and is made out of MDF, carved with traditional Maori designs. Brett says he is inspired by “transforming the mundane and ordinary into something special” and hopes the public will see that when they visit the piece at the gallery. He says the work is similar to that of Maori who would carve Maori designs into European weapons such as carvings on the butt of a gun. Anna-Marie White, curator for
the Suter Art Gallery says the piece will be a welcome addition to the ambitious exhibition which aspires to be the very best. “Brett is one of the most famous and important sculptors in New Zealand and this will be his first time showing in the South Island.” The tank is living behind one of the many locked doors at local business Storage World until the exhibition begins in April, something that Anna-Marie finds exciting in its self. “You look around at the closed doors and think that if something like this tank is behind this door, then what could be behind all of the rest?” Kaihono Ahua, part of the Suter’s seventh biennale exhibition will run from April 20 through to June 30 with entry free to the public every Saturday.

Local Thai restaurant expands A Nelson restaurant chain is expanding, opening a new venue in Blenheim. Bunga Krataitong’s, owner of ChaiYo Richmond and Nelson has bought the popular restaurant and says she can’t wait to bring to it her flair for all things food. “I am very excited to expand into Blenheim, I’m happy to be taking over from the previous owners who are now retiring.” The restaurant comes with its own
history in Bunga's past, with her husband being the head chef there a few years ago. The couple kept up their friendship with the owners and Bunga says she was thrilled to be offered the opportunity to buy it when they retired. Bunga says she will be spending a lot of time helping set up in the new business. “I will base myself in Blenheim, but after it is up and running I will split my time between all three restaurants.”

Today was the day. No cliché, but there was not a cloud in the sky, one of those Nelson days when you really can't believe that you do live in paradise. We were getting married in secret, and the Boathouse was booked. We had a celebrant, and witnesses, a nice couple we had only just met. Since we had both grown up here there was no way we could choose only two friends. We stood on the balcony at the Boathouse promising our love to each other, then afterwards we were having photos taken, when suddenly... the celebrant came up to us to say that she bad news - the marriage licence that we had just signed was floating out to sea! To our astonishment we looked and there it was; a piece of paper that we had just signed that signified our commitment to each other was floating away. What were we to do? Suddenly Craig spotted a boat out of the corner of his eye luckily he has a very loud voice and yelled to the guy on the boat if he would get the paper for us? He did! - Rob McKegney zoomed over in his boat and
Craig and Michele Lines. got our marriage licence and brought it back to us. The celebrant said she would get us another one - but we said no, we want this one! The ink hadn't run, it was just a bit crinkled. To us it signified our relationship and our love for each other. We had been through hard times in the past but our love had brought us back together. We say... “that was the happiest day of my life, because I promised to live my life with my best friend.”

Chewing their way to arty frock
Three local girls have chewed their way through 2500 pieces of gum, all in the name of art. For Garin College students Clare Sanders, Veronica Mitchell and Sjann Hungerford, all 17, it’s crunch time. After four years of collecting 5 Gum wrappers the deadline is looming to get their hands on more gum wrappers to fulfil their year nine dream of entering into the school arts festival. Since they were 13 years old the girls have been chewing 5 Gum in the hope of completing a dress made out of the wrappers and are calling out to anyone and everyone to donate to their worthy cause, including 5 Gum themselves. It all started when the girls noticed Clare was chewing a lot of 5 Gum. They came up with the idea to collect as many as they could and enter

into Garin College’s Mahi Toi arts festival in their final year of school. “We have been planning this for so long, since year nine. Clare used to eat a lot of gum and one day she just started collecting them,” says Sjann. “We are at 200 boxes and 2500 wrappers and we need more.” Clare says she has written to 5 Gum with no response as yet, but she is hoping that they will get back to her and donate the wrappers or gum needed to get the students to their goal. Clare says the girls will use a combination of sewing and hot glue to put the dress together and expect the project “will take weeks” once they have enough wrappers. Anyone who can offer 5 Gum wrappers can contact them at Garin on 543 9488.

Tuesday March 26 The man who was the victim of a hit and run after his car was shunted off the road has yet to come forward. Witnesses to the crash, on Tahunanui Dr, say a van allegedly pulled out in front of the moving car and pushed it off the road. Two of the witnesses took down the van’s number plate details and police say they were waiting to hear from the victim, whose licence plate linked him to Auckland. Police say they hope to hear from the man before they lay any charges.

Tuesday March 19 The Stoke Eagles walked away with a 19th placing after competing in the New Zealand men’s club championship held in Christchurch two weeks ago. While the Eagles may have missed out on a top spot, Nelson College came home with a second place after competing in the National secondary schools division 1 softball championship held in Auckland. Players Luke Bowers and Vincent Whittington were both named in the tournaments side and Luke walked away with the individual award for most valued player thoughout the tournament. Tuesday March 19 The local retired racing greyhounds looking for a place to stretch their legs have found a temporary solution to their exercise woes. After reading the article in the Nelson Weekly a local man who trains racing huskies has offered the greyhounds and their owners an opportunity to run free with him at a spot on Rabbit Island once the weather cools down. Angela Wilson area coordinator for Greyhounds as Pets says the offer was much appreciated and anyone else who has a fenced in property or idea on where the dogs can run can still give her a call on 546 5045. Tuesday March 5 Since the reopening of Krauts in Montgomery Square a few weeks ago, the owners of the German restaurant and bar say they have been inundated with people who have been keen to get back to their favourite spot. They are pleased to see so many of their regular clientele back through the doors, with one loyal diner visiting Nelson on business even changing his hotel in order to be closer to Krauts.

Editorial: The wrongs and the Wrights of the village By Steve Page, publisher of the Waimea Weekly and Nelson Weekly.
It was three and a half years ago that I sat outside the little office that Michael Wright uses on the village site with Michael and his father in-law John Davies. I was acting on behalf of both of my Christchurch-based parents and I was close to buying one of the charming little homes in the village. In the back of my mind only one thing was worrying me, this “fee” everyone was paying. Both of these men assured me it was really no worry. Davies said it would go up for sure but “only 5 bucks every one or two years and even then only with the approval of the committee”. Wright and Davies continued to use this line with future perspective residents over the next two years. So what is the real story here? In a nutshell Waimea Village was a caravan park and it afforded reasonably priced accommodation for folk to live in a high priced town. It was discovered due to bit of a loophole at the council that by leasing the land out, folk could in fact live there on a permanent basis. So the lease was for 999 years which as we speak today, has around 950 years to go. When a new house was built on the site a deal was struck that the original new house owner paid the village owners at the time a sum of money, a one off payment for the right to be there. In some instances it was around $30,000. Then on an on-going basis a small sum of $50 was agreed on by each homeowner to be paid into a repairs and maintenance fund for the upkeep of
the village. Now it’s important to know that one of the real estate reps at the time was in fact John Davies, Michael Wright’s father in law. This arrangement, although on the outside was workable, was never a huge money maker. The only folk really who made any money were the original owners who leased the sections. Roll on the years and the village kind of just kept going under the management of a likeable character called Rocky. At this stage the “business” of Waimea Village was a bit of a dead duck. What I mean is that you would not buy it as a going concern. That’s why when the Wrights bought it for approximately $400,000, which included the large house and land to the right as you drive in, they got a quite nice wee business and family home capable of pulling them $85,000 a year for basically doing some lawn mowing and changing a few smoke detectors. No one can really argue that a price increase was on the way but also just prior the council had taken over the responsibility for the water mains in the village, a huge potential cost gone, and also the electrical responsibility was taken over by Network Tasman. For those two parties it was the most cost effective way to build up the estate behind the village. Now all they were responsible for as village owners was a few feet of pipe to each house and some minor roading and fencing. Now that’s when it should have all just faded peacefully away. There should be today over $250,000
sitting in the repair and replacement fund, as ordered by an arbitrator last year. The Wrights maintain the money is there but when asked to prove it with even just a complete bank statement, they refuse. Would Steve Page. you not think that to stop all of this grief he would comply with that simple request? The residents are now saying they don’t trust the Wrights or the Davies based on their past dealings. The Wrights have now started legal proceedings to evict those residents refusing to pay the extra charges. Let’s make this very clear, all residents own their own homes here. All houses have paid the lease as a one off payment many years ago so no more is owed. All residents pay rates on an on-going basis to the council even though most of the properties are under half the size of a normal house in Richmond. The major expense the Wrights and the Davies are exposed to is the roading and that has been determined by roading experts to have at least another 25 years before any significant repair is due. Most other services have actually been decreased, and there has been no significant maintenance undertaken since the Wrights took over, so what apart from greed is the huge price increase for?
So where to from here? Plain and simple folks from the village, do not expect an “aha” moment from Wrights. It’s not going to happen. Even if the upcoming court case is won, Wright will come back next year for yet another price increase. The recent offer of approximately $700,000 to the Wrights excluding that valuable house, by the residents for the village was a very generous one that shows the determination of the residents to get rid of these two owners yet Wright came back with another million on top required! So that’s $1.7 million (excluding the house) for a business he paid almost nothing for. The solution; if the court case isn’t effective? What would happen if the residents stopped all monies getting paid to the Wrights? Illegal sure but it would bring things to a head finally. And a message to Caroline and Michael Wright, most folk would have worked something out by now and be back to enjoying our wonderful area. You knew exactly what you were buying; you knew exactly what you were getting into. You made a bad decision, now make it better. And congrats to councillors Kit Maling, Judene Edgar and their team for at least trying. It makes Age Concern, National MP Nick Smith, Labour MP Maryann Street, mayor Richard Kempthorne, Greypower and other community leaders who had put this in the too hard basket, seem a little insipid. Time to stand up guys, with the rest of us and help ease the anguish of some of our communities’ more vulnerable folk.

Do you think boy racers are less prominent than they were? Yes, hardly ever see them. Melissa Masters.
brought to you by the only people they're putting at risk is themselves (if they're racing in a deserted area). I'm not a boy racer myself but I have friends who are. Philip Garnett.
They were never causing trouble. They were just doing their hobby as you would if you were playing sport. If they can't use public roads then build them a track to race on. If they're on a track then they're not endangering the public. Also, they're very good drivers and in a way
Yes they are because they are looking after their cars now and its got harder to access them now the one dollar deposit has gone and the crushing of cars is in. Now we need to stop them drivng in groups. Micheal Dufeu.

Nah, they just moved onto other sorts of cars gone are the traditional lowered big bores. It's mini trucks and jacked up 4x4s now. Jeff Mahon. I'm over the "boy racer" title, as far as I'm concerned it's "car enthusiast". I currently am building by daily driven up [sic] and will have everything certified and can almost guarantee the cops will still try to ream me and any other legally modified car on the road as far as I can see the whole thing has become a new revenue source. Allan Brooks. Aussie lawyer threatens Weekly: Wouldn't they need to prove first that its not true... I have to say, that after this story I've become very wary of "charities" that are touting for business, I somehow feel that I should ask for a copy of their balance sheet first. Dez Tinee.

Why should I use an interior designer? I often get asked what it is I do as an Interior Designer, and why people would pay me to do it! Isn’t it just about matching paint colours and fabric? A more accurate but complicated sounding description of what I do is: Creative problem solving, achieved by analysing information (client brief, budget, restrictions, regulations and aesthetics); establishing a conceptual direction, refining the design direction and producing specifications and documentation. How will having an interior designer make my life easier: As a trained professional interior designer, I take care of the details as well as the big picture. I come up with a design concept based on the client brief. Along with my trained creative design skills, I bring an understanding of the compliance requirements that need to be considered for any renovation or building work. I have working knowledge of fabrics, finishes, colours, paints, lighting, soft and hard furnishings and an understanding of spatial and design requirements for both residential and commercial spaces.

IMB Construction (formally Ian McCully Builders) has been a well known name within the building industry in the Nelson area since 1972. Over the years we have continued to grow, expand, and develop, but one thing which hasn’t changed is our commitment to the Nelson community. What services can IMB Construction provide? We are a locally minded business with Nelson at its heart so we will take on any task from the smallest project for the home right up to huge commercial contracts. We can be trusted to get the job done right the first time, from new homes, renovations, new facilities and buildings. What kind of experience do IMB Construction have?

Using a qualified personal trainer has many benifits. Creating a tailor-made exercise programme suited to an individual’s needs is crucial to obtaining optimum results. Having a full time personal trainer with over 15yrs experience, you know you are getting the best advice to achieve your health and fitness goals. What kind of facilities do you have? I have my own private personal training studio situated in Stoke and have been running my buisness there for the past 7yrs. The studio is fully equipped with the latest fitness equipment and all training sessions are one on one so no busy gyms to walk into and no fighting for equipment. Do you also advise on nutrition? Nutrition is not overlooked and an eating plan is discussed with every client to ensure the best and quickest results. Tape measurements, caliper test and initial weight are taken on your first visit and long and short term goals set. Medical and fitness history are also discussed at depth to ensure safety of exercise programme.

What is the difference between selling or purchasing commercial rather than residential real estate? Selling a business is very different from selling other forms of real estate. Over the years, real estate salespeople specializing in business sales have recognized this and formed their own Special Interest Group under the wing of REINZ. This Group has embarked on a programme to unite and educate business brokers. What qualifications do you have and what groups do you belong to? NZ Certificate of Commerce, Business Valuations Pass, Accredited Business Broker, Real Estate Law, Real Estate Accounting, Real Estate Appraisals, Committee Member REINZ, Special Interest Group for Business Brokers 5 years, Founding member “Bizstatz NZ Limited, Accredited Business Broker, Member of Business Brokers Association of New Zealand. What sets you above other agents? As a professional marketing specialist, I recognize my obligation and responsibility to be frank and candid in my suggestions so as to accomplish our goal together. I will enthusiastically promote your business through my business colleagues, contacts, advertising and web sites with further assistance from proven marketing packages. Do we have to commercially clean the carpet prior to leaving the rental property? Our landlord wrote it as part of our contract, but I’ve been told this is not enforceable provided the carpet is left clean and tidy. Is this true? The Residential Tenancies Act requires that a tenant leave a property “reasonably clean and tidy�. Tenancy Tribunal decisions have established that a landlord cannot assume at the start of a tenancy that the carpets will require cleaning when the tenancy ends. That judgment can only be made at the end of the tenancy. For that reason a condition flatly requiring the carpets to be cleaned is not enforceable. However, there could be circumstances which entitle a landlord to require that a tenant have the carpets cleaned at end of tenancy. For example, a tenancy agreement may permit a tenant to have a cat or dog on condition that the carpets are cleaned and sanitized at end of tenancy. How have you built up the confidence of clients? Quinovic have over 22 years experience in the property management space, we have a trust reconciliation process second to none in that we reconcile our Trust Account 3 times every working day, we provide full online access to our clients for their full financial information real time and you work with the business owner. What is Soundstage? SOUNDSTAGE is a professional music and performing arts school located at 56 Rutherford Street, Nelson. We offer classes and individual tuition to people of all ages and abilities. How old do you have to be to start? Students can start with us as young as 2 years old. We have programmes suited to all ages and levels of ability. You can choose to do casual classes that don’t require a lot of commitment, or take your studies more seriously and sit exams through Trinity Guildhall of London and The New Zealand Association of Modern Dance. What about the staff? SOUNDSTAGE Director Jane Winter was trained at NASDA and has been working as a professional singer/actor/dancer since she was 16. Jane is a singing and musical theatre teacher who has been teaching young Nelsonians since 2004. Jane has also worked as a musical director for theatre and an on location acting coach for film. SOUNDSTAGE grew out of Jane’s private singing and musical theatre students and has been operating since 2008 with the help of her fantastic highly qualified staff. Why should I use Quantum Plumbing?

What a great week we had –Just pleasing ourselves and stopping when we liked and where we liked was a real change of pace. It is really good for the soul to be able to get out and explore this wonderful place we are lucky enough to call home. People on the Coast are a rare breed…friendly and great hosts and very proud of their place in the world. The weather was amazing, warm and sunny with not a cloud in the sky and not much wind at all. The break was really good for us both. I did feel for the farmers and was so glad to come back to a couple of days of much needed rain – do hope they got some of that. Cruze and I certainly did not mind getting soaked to the skin on one of our first walks on our return to Nelson!! I wonder why it is that when you are home and waiting for veges to produce you can be looking daily for some fruit, beans or a stray courgette to pop in the pot, and then the week you go away everything (including the weeds) decides to grow at an amazing rate. Thank goodness our lovely neighbours took care of the extra veges and also picked the blackboy peaches so they did not drop. They are now all bottled and the quince tree is stripped. Easter weekend is usu-

I have been asked to give out my recipe for Quince, Apple and Garlic Sauce which has become a bit of a favourite. Here it is: 3 kgs quinces 1 kg apples (granny smith are best) 500 grams brown onions 3-4 whole heads of garlic 1 heaped tsp cayenne pepper 3 Tablespoons salt (common is best) 1&1/2 Tablespoons ground cloves 1 Tablespoon ground allspice 2 kgs sugar (1 kg white and 1kg brown) 3 litres malt vinegar

Chop the quinces and apples, discarding the cores. You don’t need to peel them.
Finely chop onions. Skin all garlic cloves and pop in whole. Combine all ingredients in a large heavy based pan. Bring to the boil slowly, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Simmer approx 3 hours stirring from time to time so as the mixture does not stick to the pan as it thickens. When all is boiled to a pulpy consistency remove from the heat and cool a little –blend with a Barmix or transfer to a blender, or sieve, to create a flowing sauce. (I find the Barmix or stick blender the easiest way to do this for most sauces – easiest is always best!) Bottle, and seal when cold. Enjoy.
• In areas of the garden that are not in use, plant a cover crop like lupins, mustard or barley. They can be dug in and composted in early spring and provide valuable organic material to the soil as well as protecting the surface from heavy rain damage over the winter – (we live in hope!!) • Autumn is the best season to grow herbs like rocket, coriander and in a sunny spot you should still be able to grow basil (especially if this weather keeps up!). • In the flower garden you can sow alyssum, calendulas (winter marigolds), delphiniums, foxgloves, hollyhocks, lupins, pansies, poppies and viola to name a few. • It is also time to plant strawberries. If you plant in April you should be picking fruit in November. They need an open sunny spot with lots of well-rotted compost and are best planted into ridges or raised beds as they need good drainage. Strawberries also do well in containers and just need a good potting mix and extra food as they start to set fruit. Check your local garden centre for available varieties. Hope you all had a great Easter – I was making quince jelly for most of it but we did get some cutting back done and the gutters clearedAll we need now is more rain…
Tips
Thisks wee
• By now you should be well worn out, as the Easter break is a big weekend in a gardener's life. Autumn is a great time to plant all manner of things both in the flower and the vege garden. • There is still time to plant broad beans, carrots, cauli, brussel sprouts, winter lettuce (Mizuna and mesclun mix should do better in autumn) cabbage and silverbeet. • Plant leeks, and in this weather you should still be able to get in a crop of sugar snap peas.

Curtain closes on drag racing season
Phillip Rollo
The Keith Whiting Memorial Trophy is heading back across Cook Strait after the North Island stunned its southern counterparts 12-3 in the final meet of the Nelson drag racing season. Six drivers from each island entered in the North versus South class with Aidan Crook and Adrian Rivers – both of the North Island – claiming three race victories to win back the trophy previously held by the South Island drivers. Nelson Drag Racing Association president John Gourdie, who was also entered in the North versus South event, did not seem too disappointed in the loss and focussed on how strong the season has been locally, saying it has gone from strength to strength. “When we sit back and reflect it’s been a good season with two local events and two national events. The season has gone extremely well,” he says. “This year we’ve seen competitor numbers growing and there are a lot of new entrants.” With many meetings across the country affected by weather over the years, John was also pleased that all four local ones went ahead. “Obviously the guys from out of town are appreciative of the fact they can come in and the day will definitely be on.” He credits successful events as the reason why more and more people are participating. “It’s well run, well organised and everyone enjoys a great day.” The final race of the season will be the NZDRA New Zealand Nationals which is being held in Taupo at the end of April.

Stoke players make British softball teams Softballing sisters who play for the Stoke Eagles club have been selected for Great Britain age group teams after a Christmas holiday to the UK timed perfectly for a national trial. Hannah and Lorin Cook live in Blenheim but play in Nelson because there is no women’s league in Marlborough and qualify for the British teams through their British-born father. They say they first made touch with the Great Britain setup after they saw a posting on the Softball New Zealand website asking for players with UK heritage who may be interested in playing for Great Britain. The girls travelled for two hours across London for a trial and they were put through their paces for less than hour. Lorin primarily was looked at as pitcher and while Hannah did the catching, she was being considered as a utility. While Hannah favours play behind the catcher’s
mask she is competent in most other fielding positions and she has been selected in the Great Britain Under 19 as a utility or outfielder. She is a handy leadoff batter for Stoke Eagles and runs the bases well. Hannah will head to the UK to join her team mates for some intensive training before heading to Ontario, Canada to compete at the Under 19 World Series. Lorin got the nod as the second pitcher in the Great Britain Under 17 team to attend the European Cup in Prague in August. However, like a number of sports it does come at a significant cost to Hannah and Lorin and their parents as the trips are totally self funded as softball is in its infancy in the UK and funding is practically non-existent. Stoke Eagles coach Daryl Stratford will oversee the girls technical training prior to their tournaments.

Teacher Sam Maitland says the team did well despite a few hiccups. “One of our girls fell out of the boat during one race but they still managed to win it.” Charlotte Tear says she was going for the hiking straps when she missed them and went back-first in the water. "I jumped back in as quick as I could and we were still winning at the top mark. I was lucky it wasn’t too cold. I don’t want to do that in Lake Taupo,” she joked.

Duck hunters get their eye in Duck hunters wanting to get their eye in before the season begins are invited to an open day hosted by the Nelson Waimea Gun Club this weekend. The event, sponsored by Stirling Sports, will be held at the club’s facility on Valley Rd in Golden Downs, which is just past Belgrove on the way to St Arnaud, on April 7. Spokesperson Neil Simpson says the day is open to all duck shooters and that there will be more than $3000 worth of prizes to be won, including a used shotgun. “This day is for duck shooters wanting to get their eye in before the season. These are held all over the country, heaps of clubs have them,” he says.
“They’re generally run from this month right through to when the season starts. There are always prizes so people can win decoys, callers and anything related to duck shooting.” Neil believed duck hunting was as popular as ever before acknowledging that the number of ducks had decreased. “There’s not so many in this area, well not as many as we’d like. Possibly it’s because of changing agriculture but there’s still good duck shooting out and about.” Neil says anyone interested should just “turn up at the ground” from 8:30am onwards. “This is good for new and old duck shooters and anyone that is just keen to come out and have a play.”
