DIGGING INTO THE BOOK FAIR: Emma Hollis, above, was one of thousands who still honour the value of the printed word, with the opening for this year’s book fair the “busiest ever.” The book fair volunteers work all year to sort the estimated 30 tonnes of books into over 50 categories. “The turn out’s been amazing. A lot of people have e-readers, but to

have a nice book, especially an old book, has a feel that just can’t be replicated,” says Jo McNabb of Hunter Ralfe Lawyers, who this year have forged a partnership with the annual event.

The fair, which opened for the Queen’s Birthday weekend, will run through to this Sunday at Founders Park.

“I think we need to be. We’re such a young country and we haven’t got a lot of our own history, so it’s good to be hooked into where we came from.”

“I think we should break away, we’re basically our own identity now. I know we were founded by England but I think we should, yeah, break away.”

Smoke alarms save house Andrew Board Fire officers are hailing the efforts of four teenagers, whose smoke alarms saved the house they rent.

Neighbours called the Nelson Fire Brigade at 6pm on Sunday night after they heard the smoke alarms sounding inside the house.

Senior station officer Craig Davies says when they arrived the house was close to burning down. “It was one to three minutes away

from burning the whole house down; I’m not exaggerating.”

The four residents had just put new batteries and tested the alarms four days before the incident. Craig says their efforts, along with the vigilant neighbours, saved the house.

“When we got there the whole top story was full of smoke, we broke in and found that they had put the firewood on top of their free standing fireplace. If one of those logs had rolled off it would have gone, guaranteed.”

The occupants weren’t home and Craig says without the alarms the neighbours wouldn’t have known about it until they saw flames coming out the windows.

Craig says the four teenaged residents were stunned when they got home and really thankful. “It was a good lesson for them and for everyone else. It wasn’t too clever putting the firewood on top of the fire. All combustibles need to be a metre away from any fire or heater, we call it the metre heater rule.”

Remembering the Boar War A small but “special” ceremony to remember the Nelson soliders who fought in the Boer War was held at Queen’s Gardens last week.

Thirteen Nelson men fought in the war, held between 1899 and 1902 in South Africa between the local Afrikaners and the English settlers. Only one of the local men died during service. Nelson RSA hosted the ceremony with a class of students from Nelson Central School to mark 110 years since the end of the war on May 31, 1902.

Nelson RSA vice president Buzz Falconer says it was great to have representatives of Nelson Central School on hand.

“Central School was founded in 1878 so some of the men on this memorial could have gone there, so it’s nice to have the current students here with us.”

Local remembers Nelson during Queen’s coronation In 1952 Russell Watson’s job was to dress the window of McKay’s, a two-story store on Bridge St. And in 1952 there was one display that he remembers more than most – that to celebrate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth.

Sixty years on he can’t quite believe where the time has gone, but will sit down and watch the celebrations along with millions of people around the world.

“Back then there were two of us whose job it was to dress the window of the store, it was a big part of retailing back then and shops put a lot into dressing up their store.”

He says he remembers making the giant crowns that were put on the top story of the store and remembers the buzz around town.

The following year the Queen and her husband visited Nelson and once again Russell was on hand to capture the moment, taking a photo of the crowd on Trafalgar St. In the background you can see the Cathedral with no spire.

Russell says McKay’s, which employed around 40 staff and sold menswear, wool, dress fabric, manchester, ladies fashion, underwear and uniforms to Nelson College, was pulled down in the early 1970s. Replacing it was the H&J Smith building.

“Nelson was very excited back then about the whole thing. It’s funny to see how things have changed in 60 years," says Russell The anniversary of the Queen’s coronation was yesterday, with celebrations continuing today in the United Kingdom.

More apartments for Nelson's waterfront A new apartment tower is currently undergoing construction on Nelson’s waterfront. The five floor complex will boast eight sophisticated three bedroom apartments with views of the Nelson Haven.

The Gibbons Construction development is due to be completed in 2014, and will be located alongside the existing Quay Apartments tower which was completed in 2006.

"The project has been planned for several years, but now that there are signs of a property market pickup, we believe it is the right time to build the second quay tower," says

Gibbons director Scott Gibbons.

The apartments have been carefully designed with particular attention to detail and with the lifestyle of the spectacular location in mind, he says.

Apartment sizes will range from 153 sq m to 347 sq m and are expected to sell for between $900,000 and $2.5 million. Interest in the development has already been sparked in locals as well as buyers from Christchurch and Australia. Marketing agent Julie Ambrose saying negotiations for sales are already underway, with one apartment already sold.

Dog proposal loosens restrictions Andrew Board Dogs will have more freedom in Nelson than they do currently under a new “preferred approach” released this week.

It completes an almost total U-turn by Nelson City Council after its first dog control bylaw draft restricted where dogs could go without a lead and prohibited them from other areas.

That draft attracted a petition and protest march down Trafalgar St, so it appears the

people have spoken and the council has listened – listened intently.

Nelson City Council’s preferred option is being released now so council can get feedback before going to draft stage to avoid another lengthy re-write. Instead of tightening the bylaw and where dogs can be let off their leads, the new proposal loosens it, meaning dogs will be able to run free in more areas than before.

Policy planner Debra Bradley says the council is aiming to simplify the on-lead

off-lead areas towards a default of off-lead unless there is an obvious area when dogs would need to be on-lead.

All restrictions around walkways in the Maitai proposed earlier this year have been dropped, with swimming allowed all year round in two of the swimming holes. The only areas that have been added to the nogo zones for dogs are Sand Island, Haven Holes, Trafalgar Park, the premier sports grounds at Saxton Field, the Paremata Flats at Deleware Bay where restorative

work has been happening and Marsden Valley to the east of Barnicoat walkway.

Elsewhere – including all railway reserves – dogs can be off-lead.

Debra says the council is keen to hear feedback so has posted a survey on the issue on its website. “Based on the overwhelming feedback we received in the submissions we’ve made substantial changes. Now we want to get early feedback on the preferred option and see if there is any issues that are likely to cause a lot of concern.”

Students transform old desks Art students at Broadgreen Intermediate School have given old school desks and doors a whole new lease on life.

The students painted, shaped and added accessories to old desk and doors from the Nelson Recycle Centre with the help of the Wild and Sneaky Arts group.

Students made a range of designs from a collage make up desk, to a chillin music desk with speakers, and a garden angel desk complete with golden halo and shoes.

Kameta, who helped make the Angel Desk, says for her the project was about having fun and believing that you really can turn a horrible old desk into a piece of art.

“Whenever I see a grotty desk I will think of the Angel Desk.”

Students brave Dragon’s Den The Theatre Royal became a conference room as eager teens pitched business plans to a panel of influential judges in Nelson’s version of Dragon’s Den. Students from five local schools proposed ideas including mouth guards, USB wristbands and customised condoms, as well as products the students themselves made from recycled glassware and gloves.

The presentations were a part of the colleges’ business studies in association with the Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) and the groups were vying for a share of $2000 to kick-start their business.

“It was an excellent event, very good presentations. A lot of teams did very good research and came up with clear propositions. Some of the products were very well thought through,” says Robert Panzer, regional coordinator for YES.

Community trust up and running After two years of fundraising and collection the Nelson Bays Community Foundation is getting set to give its first ever grant.

NBCF is hosting a function tonight at Melrose House for a special announcement and update on progress. Its mission is to encourage generosity from people in the Nelson Tasman region through bequests, endowments and donations which NBCF then invests conservatively, dis-

tributing the income earned back into the community by way of grants.

NBCF is administered by a voluntary board of trustees who all share a passion for the community and a desire to give something back. The foundation enacts the wishes of local people wanting to support their cause or causes on a perpetual basis, providing an everlasting benefit that can adapt to our community.

Local doctors donate to community groups Giving is what local charity organisations are known for, but last week they were the gracious recipients of donations from local doctors.

The GP subfaculty agreed that money gathered from annual subscriptions should be used in a charitable way. Four local GPs researched community charities to find organisations that they felt were deserving. “These charities make the lives of so many much better, including at risk children, adolescents, single parents as well as many adult men and women,” says Dr Ngaire Warner, who presented the donations at Victory Community Centre last week.

Along with the donations, Big Brothers and Big Sisters Nelson were given two bicycles and a bike rack for the use of the mentors and children. “It

staggers me to come to these things and see the generosity shown. These organisations are built on the backs of volunteers and it’s great to have that support,” says Gavin Miller of Big Brothers and Big Sisters Nelson.

Tasman mayor Richard Kempthorne represented the Tasman Disctrict Council’s agreement to place two automatic external defibrillator units in remote areas in case of emergencies, one to be placed in the Collingwood Tavern and the other in the St Arnaud Department of Conservation information centre, to allow access at all hours.

Nelson’s Male Room, Women’s Refuge, Supergrans and Big Brothers and Big Sisters charities were each presented with donations to go towards their charities.

An unmissable blue suspension bridge highlights the current work being done to complete the Great Taste Cycle Trail.

Tasman’s Great Taste Cycle Trail will be fully completed by 2019, but work in 2012 will see cyclists able to access Wakefield and Mapua from Nelson’s I-Site Centre before November.

Tasman District Council has confirmed further funding to complete the loop in this year’s Long Term Plan and the trail’s chairperson, David Bonnett, says it is exciting times for tourism in the region.

The trail is likely to be on the forefront of marketing Nelson and Tasman to international visitors and will see areas such as Wakefield, Tapawera, Kohatu, Riwaka and Mapua become key stopoffs in the three-day journey.

“There’s a great level of certainty now.

When we are looking a multi year project, it’s hard for people to get some sort of sense of what is going to be there at the end. Now people can look and say ‘yes.’

We can all start talking about it.”

A suspension bridge from Bryant Rd to Pugh Rd will connect Brightwater to Richmond, while a second bridge is expected to be completed near Rabbit Island later in the year.

Mass placenta planting The fourth annual whenua planting is being held this Saturday at the Centre of New Zealand.

The planting gives parents the opportunity to bury the placenta of their child – a sacred Maori custom that has gained in popularity recently.

The mass planting first started in Nelson as a memoriam to midwife Lyndell Rowan who died unexpectedly, says organiser Suzi Hume.

“Lyndell respected the honor of being present at birth and its whole process. For those who didn’t have the resources or space she offered

to bury their placentas for them, of which some took up the offer,” she says.

Some parents freeze the placenta, waiting for the right time to bury it. Suzi says this weekend is the perfect opportunity. Nelson City Council provide the trees and anyone from the community can be a part of it. The ceremony is at the back of the Centre of New Zealand, with access from Branford Park.

The group will start walking from 10.30am with the ceremony starting at 11am. For more information please call or email Suzi on 546 7551 or suzihume@slingshot.co.nz

LETTERS

TO THE EDITOR

While I find our Nelson mayor pleasant to deal with, in my view his letter published May 29 ignores the fact that many of the ratepayers are struggling to meet the ever-growing wish list of council. Rates have increased an average of 13 per cent each year over the last ten years. Instead of meeting the needs of the many low income ratepayers who live in Nelson, many councillors are instead funding their own vested interests.

Nelson council is starting approximately ten big projects this year that are not necessarily core infrastructure, to try to avoid the imminent legislation that will help curb the appetite of councils for more borrowing and escalating rates. Central government needs to impose far more draconian legislation than what is contemplated, in order to stop councils like Nelson from pushing people out of their homes by unlimited spending and rate increases.

Dan McGuire, Nelson.

The article ‘Teens work for smokes’ [Nelson Weekly 29 May] shows that young people need to be the group tobacco tax increases are targeted at.

Research shows that affordability is a large factor in youth smoking.

The proposed 10 per cent tax increase needs to be bigger to provide a ‘shock hit’ for existing smokers and also price tobacco beyond the means of young

people. Health Ministry figures show that a 33% increase in tobacco tax would save between 500 - 575 lives per year by 2031, compared to 150 -175 lives saved each year through a 10 per cent increase. The government has a goal of a smokefree country by 2025, yet reductions in smoking from a 10% annual increase would take until 2055 to achieve the smokefree target.

Michael Colhoun, Action on Smoking and Health (ASH).

Coalition ministers Pita Sharples and Peter Dunne were not aware of the true implications of teacher cuts announced in the recent budget. It seems the majority of the cabinet were equally in the dark. What sort of Mickey Mouse government do we have when they treat our children’s education in such a way? They can give the Westpac Bank CEO a $5000 per week tax cut and then next budget penny pinch on the most important thing in a child’s life – education. That $5000 per week is equal to 10 part time technology teachers’ salaries. Just one individual looked after by the government can cost our children 10 teachers – corporate greed, or stupidity, or both.

No doubt the teachers of the Nelson province will vent their frustrations, and I urge all parents to join them in any protest they may hold to tell this Government we will not stand for our children’s education being downgraded in any way.

Errol Millar, Nelson.

Little Ones Your guide to caring for babies, toddlers & young children This means: feeding them when they are hungry, keeping them warm and dry, helping them if they are in pain, scared or upset.

Congratulations on the birth of your baby.

Parenting is a journey and one of the most important and rewarding things you can do. How children are parented has a life-long effect on their health and wellbeing.

Every child needs love, warmth, guidance, understanding, limits and boundaries to grow up to be happy, healthy and caring. Parenting requires support from family, whānau and friends. Understanding how children grow and develop will help you understand how your child learns and sees the world.

Enjoy and have fun with your child.

1 - 2 years Between 1 and 2 years of age children are becoming more independent and curious about things. Their behaviour may change.

Toddlers have lots of energy and are constantly on the move.

They enjoy copying you, like to try new things, help you and be involved, but may be slow to do things and get annoyed.

We all say that our jobs are hard but there’s none that can beat being a parent. A) because it never ever ends and B) because it’s just so darn confusing sometimes. The first five years of your child’s life are some of the most important.

much in just a few years. There is much to come before starting school as well.

Toddlers love to be helpful, taking time to get things done as they learn. You will find they enjoy playing games with you, inside of the house and out, and friendships will become important as they meet other children at play group or preschool. Help your child with the idea of sharing, but accept that they may not want to share all the time!

Your child may enjoying copying you, using silly talk and try to get reactions from others from how they behave.

This is all normal behaviour.

You can help your child thrive by having a few rules about what is ok and not ok. Avoid saying “no” too often and tell them what you want them to do instead.

Caring for toddlers and preschoolers can be challenging, so don’t be afraid to ask for help.

The Genie founders Ben Ryan, left, and Chris Thompson have raised more than $US430,000 to manufacture their product.

Andrew Board Former Nelson man Ben Ryan needed to raise $US150,000 to make and market his idea – he’s got $430,000 and counting.

Ben along with co-inventor and business partner Chris Thompson developed a product that takes time-lapse video and photo footage. It is the same type of footage you may see on the television news where they show an entire day whizzing past in a matter of seconds.

The pair has dubbed their product the Genie.

The Genie is compact, easy to use and will retail for less than $1000, putting the technology in the hands of amateurs and independent film makers for the first time. Until now, the technology was costly, difficult to use and cumbersome.

But after making a prototype Ben – a

former Waimea College student and film maker – and Chris needed to raise enough money to manufacture their idea and market it. Instead of greasing up to corporates they posted their product on website kickstarter.com. It allows people all over the world to pre-buy the product to be delivered on the first production run.

Ben says they were confident it would attract a good response but never thought it would be as popular as it is.

“We reached our target in five days, it was pretty crazy. We were pretty excited, we thought we knew it was a great product, but the response we got showed us that other people thought that as well.”

The campaign, which is still running, means that not only do the entrepreneurs have the money they need to get their Genie off the ground, they’ve also sold a huge amount of stock and kicked

off their marketing. “Kickstarter was always in our plan and it’s been great, a really good way of getting our product out there and raising some really good money," he says.

Ben says he hasn’t tried the Genie out in Nelson yet but can’t wait to next time he’s in town.

He says the idea was to make a product for independent film makers like himself but because it is so cheap, anyone interested in film making or photography will be able to pick one up without costing a fortune. So far 649 people from around the world have pledged anywhere from $1 to $10,000. The grand total with just 21 days left of the campaign is $US453,637.

Mixed success for Nelson rep netballers There was mixed success for the Nelson Under 17 and Under 15 representatives at the Marjorie Jenden Tournament in Wellington.

The tournament is rather arduous, with games of four 10 minute periods with only one game in between as a turn around.

The Under 15 team had a five win and one loss record after the first two days of tournament before heading into the final day on Monday. The loss was against a very physical Wanganui team who adjusted well to the blustery weather conditions. Goal defence, Merekara McGuinnietty had an impressive game, displaying a good eye for the intercept. The loss was a learning curve for a number of the girls who had not suffered defeat in three years.

Nelson got out to a great start in their opener against Manawatu with Makaila Powick strong through the mid court. Georgia Davies put in a sterling performance at goal keep – she hunted the ball to pull in a number of well timed intercepts. Despite falling off the pace in the second quarter Nelson won 27 – 21.

Poppy Restieaux was the leading light against Wairarapa Development – she had beautiful movement in the circle and pulled in some difficult ball while converting 11 from 12. Poppy and goal shoot Kate Bolton, displayed a great understanding of one another’s play with Kate shooting an impressive 21 from 26 in the 43 – 10 victory.

Mid courter, Ruby Jensen displayed maturity in the lessons learnt from the previous day. She linked well through court and put in some fantastic feeds to her shooters in the 27 – 18 win against Marlborough.

Nelson completely outplayed Wairarapa to win 48 – 19. Poppy (20 from 21) and Kate (12 from 14) once again proved to be a formidable offensive pairing. Nelson was made to work extremely hard when they met Kapiti. Defender, Sarah Robinson produced a huge amount of turnover ball. She played with her heart and soul, read the play well to hunt the ball in the 29 – 26 win.

It was a tough day at the courts for the Under 17 team when they won one game and lost four.

Courtney Robinson’s experience from last year’s New Zealand Under 17 Tournament was evident as she performed consistently in the defensive circle. Courtney was hungry for the turnover, was a strong rebounder and constantly applied pressure on her opposites.

Kaitlyn Stringer was another who came in for praise from coach, Tish Jamieson. Kaitlyn gave her all in each and every one of the games while playing centre, wing attack and wing defence.

She did a power of work on defence and worked hard to link through court.

Nelson defeated Wairarapa 34 – 25 while a number of unforced errors proved costly in their 22 – 39 loss to Kapi Mana. Unforced errors were converted to points while Nelson struggled to get the ball to their shooters. Although losing to Kapiti 31 – 38 Nelson were very competitive and got within three to neighbouring Marlborough.

teams and one senior team at the national championship. Nelson College for Girls will supply four junior teams and one senior team.

Probably sick of playing each other, the schools will head to Wellington hoping to knock off some of the North Island’s best.

Because Nelson is entering the central zone tournament without the need for a national berth, the sides will also be out of medal contention.

But as head coach Alex Coombs-King explains, the trip to Wellington will be all about readying the players for the same pool three months later. “We don’t have to go to it, but because there’s only two schools that play in the Nelson region, mainly because we don’t have enough coaches to encourage the other schools, we only play against ourselves

The New Zealand championship won’t be a matter of sink or swim for eight secondary school underwater hockey teams.

A stop at the central zone tournament in Wellington this weekend will ensure all of the Nelson sides have some genuine competition under their belt come September.

With all underwater hockey grinding to a halt in Christchurch, Nelson College and Nelson College for Girls have been given automatic entry into the national secondary school championship.

But without a regular round robin tournament, a trip to the central zone competition will give all of the competitors a much needed polish.

Nelson College will enter two junior

all of the time,” she says. “It’s important to get that experience before nationals.”

The Nelson College senior team snatched a bronze medal at last year’s national championship and with three New Zealand representatives – Justin Sturrock, James Christian and Zachary Coombs-King – in the side; they will be the best chance from Nelson.

The Nelson College for Girls senior team also finished third last year and will be spearheaded by New Zealand Under-18 representative Simone Jarrett.

Alice Bailey will also add some valuable national experience.

The Nelson College for Girls junior team has won two national titles in the past three years.

New Zealand Under-23 representative Christie Whitehead will be coaching the junior girls’ team.

Runners warm up for Sanctuary run Trail runners and walkers planning on entering the Haven Realty Sanctuary Run at the end of the month are invited to a "warmup" training session on Sunday and a "slice of the Sanctuary".

Start point is at the Brook Street Camp gates at 8am for an approximate hour and a half duration.

The June 30th event is gathering momentum with over 100 already registered.

Both the Long Course( 25km) and Shorter Option (14km) have all the ingredients; history, mystery and scenery.

Both have an initial stretch along the 1862 Dun Mountain Rail Trail until 4 Corners when those in the Short Course head into Nelson's hidden backwoods at the head of the Brook Valley for their breathtaking circuit.

The longer course has a climb to Fringed Hill and through to Third House before they to enter the serenity and surrounds of what's becoming a "must do" for Nelsonians and their visitors alike.

Double-whammy for Stoke Despite the performance of the season, Accessman Stoke were unable to get past Nelson at Neale Park on Saturday.

Meanwhile the clubs division two team endured its worst performance of the year, losing to Takaka at Greenmedows.

At Neale Park, stand out centre Chad Lowie had the opportunity to win the match on full time with a penalty goal, only to see it fly wide and leave Stoke just short of what would have been its best win of the year.

Nelson survived to win the match 28-27.

At half time it all seemed too easy for Nelson, cruising to a three try lead of 28-3.

But Stoke came storming back in the second half with tries from Shawn Begg, number 8 Tevita Koloamatangi, Chad and lock Jarrod Aberhart.

At Greenmedows Stoke's division two team lost 29-7.

Brett Dickens scored Stoke's only try, which was converted by Jake Curtis.
