$2 million needed for fence The Brook Waimarama Sanctuary will have a “transformational effect” on Nelson and those behind it hope the community will help make it happen.

The sanctuary’s trust needs another $2 million to build a 14 kilometre fence around the 700 hectare sanctuary, deep in the Brook valley. It’s hoping to raise half of that through donations from Nelson businesses, schools, service clubs and families from its fundraising campaign called Get Behind the Fence. It is hoped that groups and people will sponsor a fence post, each of which will have a plaque, naming the donor. Prices range from $100 to $5000.

“We hope people will donate and in the process take real ownership of the sanctuary,” says the trust’s general manager Hudson Dodd.

The trust has already raised $2.8 million of its $4.7 million target

and says the final $1 million will come from corporate sponsorship, grants and central government.

Hudson says the fence will have a huge impact on Nelson with native birds and other species inevitably finding their way into Richmond, Stoke and Nelson.

“We genuinely believe it will have a transformational effect on Nelson. As soon as the fence goes up the species already there will begin to recover before we even get into the businesses of bringing in other rare species, so Nelson will see an impact right away.”

Conservation Minister Dr Nick Smith says the sanctuary reinforces Nelson’s proud heritage in environmental leadership.

Love stories highlight wedding show success Sinead Ogilvie Nelson has found its best love story with the winners of the Jens Hansen Love Stories competition announced at the Nelson Wedding Show.

After each of the seven finalists love stories featured in the Nelson Weekly in the leadup to the event, 650 people voted for their favourite couple with Lara Conyers and Sam Harris coming out on top. The loved up couple say they were shocked to find out they had won $1000 worth of Jens Hansen diamonds on top of the $600 worth of diamonds that they won as finalists and say they couldn’t be happier that people voted for their story. “It is so exciting and so nice that people voted for us. We are really grateful they did.”

Halfdan Hansen says the event was a huge success and he was extremely pleased with the huge number of entries and voters the competition attracted. “Everyone loves a good love story and this year’s search was another great success. We’re really happy to be involved.”

Nelson Wedding Show manager Jenny Walton says hundreds of people headed to the interactive show that featured more than 70 exhibitors and she was thrilled with how well the show was received.

Rocks Rd cycle and walk way another step closer Andrew Board Editor

andrew@nelsonweekly.co.nz A study into how a cycling walkway will best fit on Nelson’s Rocks Rd has been confirmed.

The NZ Transport Agency and Nelson City Council confirmed the study – which will begin any day – last week and will look at the different walking and cycling options for the road that links the city centre to Tahunanui beach along the waterfront.

Nelson mayor Aldo Miccio hopes the study will come out with an exciting addition to the city.

“It’s something that is really important to a lot of Nelsonians, to improve the accessibility for Nelson people to use that waterfront. It’s well regarded as the jewel in Nelson’s crown, as one of the most iconic waterfronts that we have in this country. Currently we’re not served very well by the cycling and walking facility that we have there.”

NZTA regional director Jenny Chetwynd says the study will not investigate clearways or three-laning along Rocks Rd as options.

“Nelson has a thriving walking and

Donations pour in for flood victims Donations to the Salvation Army are offering welcome relief following the flood that caused serious damage to homes and businesses in Nelson two weeks ago.

Major Jill Knight says the generosity of the community is making a huge difference for victims that have been either displaced or left with almost nothing to their name in the aftermath.

She says piles of household items have been dropped off over the last two weeks including a dozen beds, bedding, couches, chairs, shelving and other furniture, all of which has been gratefully received by

Sinead Ogilvie Reporter

reporter@nelsonweekly.co.nz those most in need. “People have been very generous coming in over the last couple of weeks, there’s nothing like an emergency to bring a community together and ours is second to none for getting together and helping people out when the chips are down.”

The organisation has been actively helping at least a dozen families who had nowhere

to go or lost all of their possessions after floodwater swept through their homes and Jill says part of the misfortune was that a lot of people affected were on low incomes, had no insurance or lacked local family support. Major Jill “Because of the donations of Knight. either money or household goods we have been able to offer support to those who desperately need it. Contents insurance can unfortunately be the first thing to come off the list for people who are

struggling and that has been the majority of people we’ve been helping.”

With many people yet to move back in to their damaged homes, Jill says she expects the problem to be ongoing and urges the community to bear that in mind over the next few months. “Some will have the means to replace items and some people will be caught in a hole. I’d say hat’s off to our community for the support they have offered so far and remind them that once we have forgotten about the flood, that there will still be some people out there struggling.”

From oil to compost, mini eco-fest coming to Victory A mini Ecofest is being held in Victory this weekend, an event that is targeted as living smarter.

Ecofest @ Victory is a smaller version of the annual Ecofest and follows up on a similar concept in Golden Bay last year. The event will share a range of interactive demonstrations and advice to reduce your home power bill and save money at the supermarket. “Ecofest @ Victory is all about living well for less,” says Nelson City councillor Ruth Copeland. “More people are hungry for ways to do this and keen for really practical advice on making

your home warmer, growing your own food and saving money on your household bills,” she says.

Among the stalls and demonstrations, there will be a “waste oil amnesty” where people are encouraged to bring along their waste oils to the event, as Envirowaste will be providing large plastic containers for people to pour the oil into.

Much of the oil will be recycled and used as an energy fuel.

Ecofest @ Victory is this Saturday, May 11 from 10am to 5pm at the Victory Community Centre.

Greypower opens new office Greypower Nelson celebrated the move to a new home in Stoke with an official opening on Friday evening.

After making the move a few weeks ago, 9600 Greypower members have a new base with the team now operating from a spacious office in the heart of Stoke. Situated between Kiwibank and the walkway to the Stoke Library, opposite the Countdown Supermarket car par, Greypower Nelson president Neville Male says the move has been a welcome change for the organisation, which grew out of their smaller premises, and perfect timing after the lease on their old space was due to expire.

“The new office is just three minutes walk from our old place but now ticks all of the boxes. We are now able to better facilitate our members when they come in to visit.”

He says with convenient seating for visitors to the office, tea and coffee available free of charge,

Youth rates ‘good’ for job hunters Your Community Newspaper

A new youth wage should help teenagers using the Job Track and Nelson-Tasman Youth Service find employment but the manager of both services still remains wary.

Pip Berkett believed the youth wage, which allows businesses to pay 16-19 year old workers a minimum wage of just $11 an hour for the first six months, will give teenagers a chance to prove themselves.

“The employer is always going to pick someone older, so for someone with less experience and less work history, this will hopefully get them a chance,” she says.

“It’s very, very hard for them to find work [currently] and hopefully this makes it easier for them to pick up part-time work.”

Although she was confident it could help youth find employment, Pip “felt sorry” for them that a lower wage could be the difference between finding a job or not.

“In this economy it’s probably a helpful step to make them com-

petitive with older people. But the good thing is it’s only for six months.”

Pip says she would speak to some employers about the youth wage once term two settles in. However, students were not happy with it and one told Pip that it was “a bit rough”. “One told me that he wouldn’t be bothered working for that but that’s what we need to turn around. We need to get them real about the world of work today and the pressures on employers. If we could get another ten young people in employment then that’s great and we’ve achieved our goal but at the moment it’s very difficult.”

A number of large retail and restaurant chains have already publicly rejected the youth wage, which is 80 per cent of the adult minimum wage.

Local woman's 100th birthday Your Community Newspaper

There was a 100th birthday celebration at Wensley House rest home last month with resident Kathleen Hazard reaching the birthday milestone.

Kathleen, who was born in London on April 16 1913, has lived in the rest home for the past ten years. Kathleen's daughter Betty Lark says it was a special day for her mother.

“We never thought she’d make it,” she says. “I went up to see her receive her birthday cake and I knew she was enjoying it because she was talking and smiling, which she usually doesn’t do.”

Betty thought her mother was particularly happy with the birthday card from Queen Elizabeth.

“She pointed at it and this is when she started talking. She pointed at it and said ‘who’s that?’ When I told her it was the Queen and that she had sent the birthday card she started going ‘ooooh’.”

Kathleen married John (Harry) Hazard in 1933 and the couple moved to New Zealand in 1952 with Betty, who was born in 1935.

In Christchurch, Kathleen and Harry purchased a Four Square grocery store in Addington which was only open during the week, giving them time to play bowls and be in the garden on the weekends.

Kathleen and Harry enjoyed retirement, according to Betty, before he Kathleen Hazard was excited to get a birthday card from the Queen on her 100th birthday. Photo: Phillip Rollo. passed away in 1992.

Ten hours to bike, run, kayak, swim Bands aim

A gruelling ten hours of hiking, biking, kayaking and swimming has paid off for a local student who has managed to raise more than $2200 towards an ocean voyage this month.

The self imposed challenge came as a way of fundraising for Nayland College student Ben Seelen, 16, who says he wanted to avoid the usual methods of raising money and think outside the box in order to secure his spot on a ten day youth challenge aboard the Spirit of Adventure.

To pay for the trip Ben decided a sponsored ten hour challenge was in order, the feat included a four hour mountain bike, a run up the Centre of New Zealand, kayaking from Wakefield Quay to Rabbit Island and cycling to the ASB Aquatic Centre where he completed 100 lengths of the pool.

Coming in exactly one hour under the time expected Ben says although “sore and knackered” he is thrilled he finished the course and raised the money to pay for his trip.

“I’m happy because now I don’t need to worry about paying for the trip and I can

just enjoy the experience.”

Ben says the support of his sponsors kept him going as he battled strong currents during the kayak leg and he was grateful for the support of Nayland College staff, friends, family and strangers who all put money on him to finish the challenge.

Ben’s mother Mary Seelen says his family were “extremely proud of him” and were pleased he had raised the funds under his own steam.

“He’s done brilliantly, he’s persevered and gutsed it out to finish it.”

Ben will set sail on the Spirit of Adventure on May 17.

Nelson bands will be hoping to make it a three-peat when they line up for the Smokefreerockquest heats next week.

Rockquest is a national competition which is run from Nelson by former music teachers Pete Rainey and Glenn Common.

It’s now in its 25th year and the 15 Nelson bands that have entered with be hoping to help celebrate it in style by completing a hat trick for the city. In 2011 the Peasants from Garin College won the national competition and last year Nelson College’s New Vinyl came away with the top prize.

Entries for the Nelson heats close tomorrow with the heats scheduled for Saturday 11 May at the Theatre Royal.

The winners of the Nelson heat will then compete at the national finals.

Founder and director Glenn Common says while much has changed in the 25 years that SFRQ has been running, there are some things that remain the same.

“The enthusiasm of young people for their music, and the way they respond to having a platform to perform to their peers is one of the constants,” he says. “These days they can put their video clips up on YouTube, but that hasn’t taken the thrill out of getting up on stage in front of a real live crowd.”

SFRQ has national winners’ prize packages worth $13,000.

Rescue heli open day takes off

A record amount of cash was raised at the annual Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter Base open day with more than $10,000 raised from the day’s events. More than 3500 people attended the event at the rescue helicopter hangar on Sunday with helicopters, fire engines, ambulances, live displays and activites on offer in the name of fundraising.

Paula Muddle, marketing and communications manager for the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter Trust, says she was pleased so many people took the opportunity to see the crew in action and to support the local organisation. "It was fantastic to see so many people come along throughout the day. There was a real sense that

Tapawera Lotto winner becomes overnight millionaire A Tapawera shopper has become an overnight millionaire after winning Lotto’s First Division on Saturday. However the person’s identity remains a mystery.

Four Square owner Neela Patel says staff were absolutely stoked to hear the news that they had sold the winning ticket, which was confirmed on the terminal in store on Sunday morning.

“The beauty of this is because our Lotto sales are so low, the chances of winning here were really high once we knew it was sold here,” she says. “I’m just stoked. I had always wished that we would get the big win and we did. I had an aim for the store and that was to see a Lotto win come through our store so personally I’m on a high.”

Neela says there were rumours throughout the township that the winner was a Tapawera resident. “It’s a mix of locals and tourists [that shop here] so we weren’t sure, but we’re hoping it’s a local,” she says. “If it is a local then I’m sure they’d be confident enough to come and see us but we haven’t been notified by Lotto that they’d even checked their ticket.”

This was the first time the store had sold a winning First Division ticket and Neela was just pleased that something good had happened in the town. “Regardless of who it was everyone is very happy that Tapawera is on the map for being a Lotto winner.”

people wanted to help and support us."

She says without the generous support of Nelsonians the work carried out by the trust and crew wouldn't be possible with all funds raised going towards daily operations. “Our service relies 100 per cent on the support of the public.

It is absolutely vital and without it we wouldn’t be able to do what we do.”

George Randall, of Nelson, took his children along because he says it is a fun way to teach them the importance of search and rescue. "Being little kids they absolutely love the idea of being up close and personal with the fire engines and the helicopters and it's good for them to learn about the work that goes into rescue."

Discovering our railway Hopefest to

A disused railway tunnel hidden away in the Spooner’s Range will be unlocked for visitors on Sunday – the final time until October.

Located near the top of the Spooner’s Range, the Spooner’s Railway Tunnel runs in a straight line for 1352 metres and has only been used for guided tours and monthly walks after it closed in 1955 when the railway was shutdown.

It is officially the longest disused railway tunnel in the country and is operated by the Tapawera Historical Society in agreement with Land Information New Zealand.

Custodian Bob Stewart, whose job it is to open the steel doors at the beginning of the tunnel, believes it is one of Nelson’s hidden gems. “It’s part of Nelson’s history. You have to remember that this was put in 50 years after the first settlers came to our shores,” he says. “The older people will remember but even some of them might have forgotten unless they went through it.”

The tunnel is being looked at for the Great Taste Cycle Trail. “It’s virtually in as good condition as it was when it was built in 1893,” he says.

The walk will be held from 10am until 2pm on Sunday May 12. Entry is $2 per person and those attending are encouraged to bring a torch and wear sturdy footwear. For more information contact Bob on 544 8502.

host its third festival

The third ever HopeFest returns to the calendar this month, bringing a host of national speakers with it.

HopeFest first began as a celebration to mark the first birthday of the Hope Community Church in 2008 with two speakers from Parents Inc leading seminars focussing on parenting and relationships.

But the for 2013 edition, there will be eight different events running between May 18 and 26, with guests such as Pio Terei, Allison Mooney and Billy Graham talking topics like family nutrition, making relationships last, learning what makes people tick, and building an awesome whanau, amongst others.

Hope Community Church senior pastor Donald Irvine says the event is all about community. “The middle part of our name isn’t there just to look good, we want to be a church for the community and we decided that where we are would benefit from help with parenting and relationships.”

Donald says HopeFest has “definitely grown” over the years. “It’s grown in numbers and last time we thought there was about 1000-1200 across all of the events. We never had in mind that it would have a great life of its own but we just wanted to make things available to help the people in the community.”

For a full list of events and for more information, visit www.hopefest.co.nz. Tickets for all events are available at Paper Plus.

Sore throat leads to near death Andrew Board

A bug that started from a sore throat left a Stoke teenager fighting for her life, with a rare syndrome attacking her lungs and turning them like “concrete”.

In June 2011 Hannah Dickson, then 18, told her mother she had a sore throat. The next day it hadn’t got any better so Hannah went to her family doctor and was given some antibiotics. The next week was spent in severe pain, shaking, with a rising temperature with doctors unable to find a cure.

Finally after a week of pain and six visits to doctors, the hospital and the afterhours clinic, x-rays showed pneumonia in both her lungs and she was put into intensive care before being transferred to Wellington Hospital’s intensive care unit.

Her mum Angela says it was the worst moment of her life. “I spent most of my time up there crying, we were really, really scared.”

In Wellington doctors were still baffled until a Nelson Medlab staff member, who took Hannah’s blood tests, called Wellington and told them to scan her neck and see if there’s a blood clot in her neck, which there was. It turned out to be Lemierre's syndrome.

Lemierre's is only known to have affected 200 people world-wide and mainly targets healthy people in their late teens or early 20s.

The syndrome sent her tonsillitis into

Right is Hannah in Wellington Hospital.

the jugular veins in her neck. Once there abscesses formed and blood clots formed around those, then broke off and went into Hannah’s lungs.

Angela says once they found out what it was Hannah had she started to get better but she was still far from out of the woods. “We asked a question one night, we hadn’t asked it before because we were too scared, but we said ‘will she be alright?’ This doctor looked at us for quite some time and said ‘we’re doing everything we can’. That was really hard.”

Hannah spent eight nights at Wellington Hospital on all sorts of medicines and on a ventilator.

When she woke one morning she says she was frightened and didn’t know where she was.

Looking back, she says the worst moment was watching the videos of her in intensive care taken by her father on her i-pad. “I just burst into tears, it was pretty horrible to watch.”

Angela says the doctors and nurses were great and she doesn’t blame them for not picking up Hannah’s condition any earlier. “It was just so rare, no one knew what it was.”

She says the whole experience is something she wouldn’t wish on anyone and urges people to be extra vigilant with winter bugs.

“We were petrified, heaps of it is a blur to us as well really, it was just really, really scary. My greatest fear was that I’d never talk to her again.”

Hannah made a full recovery and now works in retail at the Richmond Mall. But she still has a small blood clot in her neck and finds it difficult to breathe in cold weather but counts herself very lucky. "I guess I'm a bit unlucky that it happened to me because it is so rare but definitely really lucky that I'm still here and healthy again."

Awareness week for Crohn's and Colitis groups The new face of Nelson’s Crohn’s and Colitis support group, co-ordinator Bridget Crundwell, says knowledge is power when it comes to the disease and she hopes World IBD day and an awareness week to be held next week will increase the amount of information out there for people and families of those who have been newly diagnosed.

More than 500 Nelsonians suffer from Inflammatory Bowel Disease, [IBD] a medical term that describes a group of conditions where the intestine becomes inflamed causing significant abdominal

pain, frequent, urgent trips to the toilet and general sickness which makes it hard to lead a normal life.

Bridget took on the role as support group coordinator for the Nelson area in August last year after a family member was diagnosed with IBD and says she knows from personal experience that there isn’t enough awareness in the public forum about what the disease is and what it means for someone who has it. “It’s really important that we get more information out there to people on this increasingly common condition. Nelson’s has a high number of peo-

ple suffering from IBD so the more knowledge we can get out into the wider community the better.”

Bridget hopes the annual Chron’s and Colitis awareness week which will run from May 13 to 19 will help her get the Bridget message out about IBD Crundwell. and says people will be able to find information displays on the disease at the Nelson Hospital throughout

the week. She will also man an information stand at next Saturday’s market where local pharmacist Chris Budgen who has a special interest in IBD will be on hand to talk to people who want to find out more.

Nelson’s Chrons and Colitis support group meets regularly to provide information and support to each other.

Anyone who would like to know more is welcome to head along to the next meeting in June. Details are yet to be decided but special guest Sarah Carswell a pharmaceutical representative will speak on the value of probiotics.

Altrusa club hosts national conference More than 100 women from all over New Zealand attended a national conference for Altrusa International in Nelson over the weekend when the community service group held its annual conference at the Tahunanui Conference Centre.

The Altrusa Club of Nelson hosted the event aimed at sharing ideas, celebrating the voluntary work carried out by the groups throughout the year.

Altrusa Club Nelson treasurer Barbara Caygill says the conference was a huge success and the group couldn’t be more pleased with the feedback they had received so far.

“We can’t believe the great feedback we have been receiving, everyone has had a huge amount of fun it was great to host such a successful

event,” she says.

Barbara says the Nelson group is very active in the local community with on-going projects including the providing of books for the Vaccination Outreach programme administered by nurses from the Nelson District Health Board,. an annual scholarship of $2000 awarded to a pupil from Waimea College, and a recent event where they hosted a group of mothers of children with intellectual disabilities and treated them to a weekend of pampering.

The conference was a weekend of workshops on leadership, fundraising and project management and as part of the weekend's festivities the Altrusa Club Nelson took home an award for the highest net membership gain in New Zealand for the past year.

New toilets: I've just been informed that the new toliets at 1903 Square on Trafalgar St are being named after the man that used to own the land there, a Mr Cock. So when you go and use these new toilets you can look down and remember this great Nelsonian! (Via text).

ly moved here. The highlight, apart from the gorgeous weather, was experiencing a re-enactment of the Blitz in the East End of London! It was such a fabulous educational experience and shockingly real. It was held on Anzac Day and the weekend before at the Founders Heritage Park. If you missed it, look out for it next year. It's highly commendable and a "must see" in Lest We Forget a highlight: my book!

I've been in Nelson(from Sydney) The cost was only $2 and I felt I was really for one month with family recent- there, in a bunker whilst so much action was happening around me.

Thank you to all concerned.

Flood victims: While it is very sad that the family lost all their possessions in the flood it is a big risk not to have insurance. Most other people have insurance. If you choose not to have it, then you have to suffer the consequences.

Last time I checked they usually deduct marks for poor grammar and spelling. But hopefully they should sort that out by the time NCEA rolls around. Ella Kilpatrick.

Should the Saxton radio mast be moved?

Yes! The grounds are used so much now. It's unsafe, radiation, and what if we had a large quake and it fell?

Nelson businesses share work space: Fantastic idea.

Yeah, why not, seems logical... that's how Nelsonians roll.

It was interesting reading your piece on the Nelson businesses who have decided to operate out of the same building.

I think it makes sense if it saves on overheads and some of the daft prices some landlords want from their tenants. I run an internet business and while working from home certainly has some benefits, I also think there would be plenty working in a place like the Bridge St Collective. So well done to everyone who has recognised this and acted on it.

They aim to meet and exceed students expectations. That is why each course has a set of learning objectives and student feedback is encouraged and evaluated.

“For the first time I made some really good compost. It ticks all the boxes - dark brown, friable, sweet smelling and with resident worms. I learnt lots on the afternoon compost course.”

“All credit to a wonderful, caring and giving tutor, whose passion shines through enough to allow me to believe that I can do it!”

“I loved learning something artistic and learning in a group. Wow, what a sense of achievement!”

“Informative evening, with a great mixture of theory and practical hands on experiences that left every one with a smile.”

“Anne is the best French teacher I have ever had and she always makes sure everyone understands the les-

son before moving on.“ “The Maori language and culture class was interactive and friendly in nature and we were given time to understand. I developed better understanding and confidence to use Te Reo.” “A fun, knowledgeable teacher and great communicator who was responsive to specific requests as well as getting through set things.”

“On discovering the many facets of Mac computers, I realised the more I knew the more I wished to know.”

Butterfly search goes to 5200 local gardens More than 200 great white butterfly infestations were found and removed in Nelson Tasman last month – more than double those detected in March – as intensive efforts continue to beat an autumn spike in butterfly breeding.

Great white butterfly eradication programme field staff, numbering around 20 at a time, carried out around 5200 garden searches in April looking for the butterfly’s caterpillars and eggs. The escalated search effort will be kept up during May. Department of Conservation Motueka area manager Martin Rodd says the success of the DOC-led programme to eradicate the great white butterfly in Nelson and Tasman hinged on knocking back this autumn butterfly breeding spurt with the help of local residents.

"The number of finds of great white caterpillars and eggs was well up in April from 88 in March. We are finding more in part because we have more field staff searching and also because there are more infestations with this breeding surge.

The three week long Italian event is one of the three Grand Tours, which also includes the Tour de France, considered to be the world's premier races.

He aims to stay out of trouble in the first two weeks and has no personal goal for the race other than to help his team. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Are you looking for a better way to Changing The Way The World Does Business ™ The added horsepower of 12 to 20 extra salespeople has transformed many Nelson businesses; with some saying they’ve seen 100 per cent growth solely because of their involvement with the business networking group, BNI. BNI Monaco at the Nelson Golf Club is a Tahuna-based business networking group

and the 12 dedicated members say they’d like to expand their group and are inviting new people to come along and see what it’s all about. Member Greg Dykzeul, of NBS, says the group has a core of strong and keen members who have seen the benefits that come from BNI and they’d like to help other businesspeople.

“For the average person they don’t really know what it is and I know when I started I didn’t really know what it was about. The group is only as good as its members and this group has some great members, some really powerful, strong, likeable people who have a good presence in the community. That is what BNI is all about, selling what you do to

Local man spots his great grandfather in Weekly

Each week photos from the Nelson Provincial Museum’s “glass plate” collection will run in Nelson Weekly and Waimea Weekly in the hope that more can be found out about them.

Right: Rout & Colt. Nelson Provincial Museum, Tyree Studio Collection: 32941.

Below: Apple packing. Nelson Provincial Museum, Guy Collection: 315081.

Can you tell us more about these photos?

Email details to: history@ museumnp.org.nz.

When Nelson jeweller Glen James Tomlinson finished reading his Nelson Weekly several weeks ago he left it open in his workshop and as a result found out a little bit of family history.

Glen’s father Ewen was visiting when he noticed the open paper and told Glen that the grizzly looking man working on a sawmill was in fact his great, great grandfather.

“I was a bit shocked but looking at him, he looks grizzly and miserable so it fits,” he joked.

The photo is part of the Nelson Provincial Museum’s Glass Plate Collection which runs in the Nelson Weekly and Waimea Weekly each week. It featured two men at a sawmill and was captioned: “Tomlinson's Mill sawing Beatson's Bush.”

Another family member, Nolene Tomlinson, was able to provide some more information about the two men. The man on the left was James Daniel Bromley Tomlinson who was in partnership at the mill with his first cousin Austin Albert Tomlinson, who was pictured on the right.

Nelson man Glen James Tomlinson with the photo of his great grandfather that appeared in the Nelson Weekly last month.

Photo: Andrew Board.

James was killed in World War One and was the son of James and Elizabeth Tomlinson who lived in Waimea West. James built the still-standing Gables on the main road in Waimea West and the Catholic Church further down the road.

Austin, or Albert as he was known, married and settled in the Motueka region. He was the

son of Fredrick William Tomlinson who was an engineer and had his shop on Livingstone Rd in Waimea West.

Glen says it was great finding out more about his family history. “It’s sort of crazy how it’s happened but cool to know these guys were related to me and had quite a bit to do with some landmarks in our region.”

A property rated as one of Nelson’s best farms has sold for the first time since the 1880s, landing the owners an expected retirement package in excess of $5.5million.

Wantwood, a 672 hectare sheep and beef farm on Eighty Eight Valley Rd owned by the Shuttleworth family, was sold to an undisclosed buyer for an undisclosed price.

Peter Evans of PGG Wrightson Real Estate Limited sold the farm and described it as one of the region’s best. While he was unable to name the buyer or the price it was sold for due to a confidentiality agreement, Nelson Weekly can confirm the rateable valuation of the property was $5,550,000 in 2011 while the land alone was worth $4,850,000 during the same year. Peter did confirm, however, that it was bought by a local farming family that wanted to expand its existing sheep and beef operations and a conversion to deer.

He says the local offer was sealed despite interest from overseas, including one client

Wantwood, a 672 hectare farm in Eighty Eight Valley Rd, has been sold after being in the same family for four generations. who made two visits to see the property. “Because of its proximity to Nelson, its size, scale and history, Wantwood is a premium property, of a type that comes onto the market very rarely,” says Peter. “Interest has been high, including from prospective buyers throughout New Zealand, and internationally, with enquiries from Europe and Asia, as well as from expat kiwis.”

While it was not the biggest farm in the Nelson-Tasman area, it is one of the biggest located so close to the city, being 18 kilometres south-west of Richmond and just four kilometres out of Wakefield.

“It is difficult to measure this sale against other local recent rural property transactions, since nothing similar has sold for some time. The last sale of this significance in the Tasman District was of a larger and far more isolated property, which was purchased for dairy conversion, so even that is not an indicative comparison.”

Peter also noted that there were three other farms in close proximity of a similar size to Wantwood.

Each of those had also remained in the same ownership for many generations, which again highlights how rare this sale was.

But he says the damage was becoming more noticeable the longer the week wore on.

“A couple of days afterwards you could see that it was worse. The Tuesday, coming back after cleaning up for a day, was pretty sad because the devastation was still there, the dirt was still there and that’s when the emotions hit a bit more,” he says.

The Richmond Church of Christ has been running its Sunday service in a hall previously used by community groups and a children’s programme, after flooding severely damaged the main building.

And it could be a four month wait until things are back to normal for the church, which is situated on the corner of Croucher and D’Arcy St in Richmond.

Minister Steve Rollo says the damage is much worse than what was initially feared, with most of the internal walls stripped off the main building due to bacteria growing inside them. “The smell was just really, really bad and all of the walls had to be pulled back so we could dry it but in the process all of the joinery was either collapsing or growing mould,” he says.

“It’s likely to be three or four months minimum before we can use the main building. The hall was also damaged but we still go on because a church is all about the people and not the building.”

The church has a “good insurance policy”, Steve says thankfully.

“We are covered but being a church there is a lot of personal belongings including books and electronics so we’re not quite sure about the whole scenario.

The whole place, basically the contents in every room has had it.”

Steve attended the church on the night of the flooding, only to find water waist deep around the premises – which

Nelson's Dixon returns to inspire next generation Over 40 kids who have participated in New Zealand’s first Rod Dixon Kids Marathon programme got to meet, do a warm up and short run with Rod Dixon at a special session held at the fields at Waimea Intermediate and Henley Primary schools in Richmond last week.

Founder of The Rod Dixon Kids Marathon Foundation, Rod’s ambition is to educate kids, their families and communities, the value of exercise, nutrition and active participation that will lead to a lifelong healthy approach to living.

The Rod Dixon Kids Marathon programme has a simple but effective goal - kids run a full marathon, 42.2km, over the space of 8-10 weeks, broken down into manageable distances that can be run from scratch, building fitness, endurance and confidence. The kids ran their final mile as part of the 32nd Annual Nelson Shoe Clinic Half Marathon on Sunday.

“The programme is all about participation, its not about how fast you run or how far you run its about getting out there and giving it a go – finishing is winning – winning is finishing. Kids Marathon is about

creating a fun environment to develop a lifestyle of healthy exercise and nutrition habits, it also empowers kids with the knowledge and character to achieve in the classroom as well", says Rod, a former Waimea College student.

One child that had been looking forward to Thursdays session was 10 year old Jakob Fletcher. Jakob has cerebal palsy, epilepsy and an intellectual disability but this has not stopped him participating in the programme over the last 8 weeks.

Jakob's mother, Nicky Fletcher, told of how she has seen Jakob's confidence grow and his enthusiasm build as he has gone through the programme. “At the start he couldn’t even run half way round the field and he thought it was too far and too hard for him. But now he can run twice around it non stop and is even excited about practising because he knows that he can do it.

He loves running with a group of other kids – so he's the same as everyone else “ says Nicky.

Nelson is the first community to embrace the kids Marathon with it set to be rolled out in other communities later this year.

The Nelson Cake Decorators and Sugar Artists Guild held a demonstation and workshop on Saturday at the Richmond Public Library which was attended by local cake decorating fans. The guild currently has 25 members and held the event so that members of the public could see what the group were about and have a go themselves. Treasurer Bev Schroder says the group meet every month to learn from each other and offer quick tips and hints for successful cake

decorating. "The great thing is you can start off learning the basics and progress into different techniques as you go."

More than 30 people attended the workshop with some making the trip over from Blenheim to partake. Stoke local Kirsten Tucker says she had heard about the group before and thought it would be fun to have a go. "It is really great, I though it would be quite hard but it's not, you just do it step by step."

by Otago. fooTBAll: AMI Nelson Suburbs avoided an embarrassing home defeat against bottom of the table FC Twenty 11 to eventually knock out a 3-2 result at Saxton Field on Sunday.

Co-coach Ben Wright brought himself into the game with ten minutes left on the clock and scored the winner after Ryan Stewart had equalised just moments prior. Nelson now sits second on the Mainland league table.

What a difference one player can make.

Shane Christie joined his Nelson teammates for the first time this year after spending almost five months with the Crusaders in Christchurch and what an impact he had. The openside flanker set up one try in the first half, scored one and should of had another. He was at his dynamic best and proved the difference between the previously win-less Galbraith Group Nelson and Accessman Stoke at Greenmeadows on Saturday.

With Shane on the flank Nelson were just too good for Stoke, but as coach Peter Grigg explained, the 29-13 score-line probably favoured the home side with a lack of confidence riddling Nelson of errors.

“We hadn’t had a win before so it was a matter of wondering when the first one would come,” he says. “Our lack of confidence showed on the weekend when we blew about four tries but once we started scoring our confidence grew.”

Peter says Nelson had targeted this game after losing to the Kahurangi Hawks last week.

“We’ve just been working away and obviously Stoke had been struggling a little bit as well so we definitely targeted this [result]. It was important that we got some points on Saturday, it would’ve been hard going into the second round with zero points.”

Nelson went the entire season undefeated last year, collecting both the Car Company division one trophy and the Tasman Trophy – which pits Nelson’s clubs against those in Marlborough’s top division. And Peter remains confident the side can still reclaim at least one of those despite fielding a much different squad of players in 2013. “We’ve been struggling to even get a full 22 man squad but players are starting to come back into the team. [Our goal] will be to win the Tasman Trophy. We’re looking to go through unbeaten in the second round.”

One of those players that was a helpful addition to the squad on Saturday was Crusaders flanker Shane Christie, who will also be available this weekend. Peter highlighted Shane’s performance on the weekend.

“He had a huge impact on Saturday and he’ll be available for one more game at this stage,” he says.

Netball season under way

Rabbits’ winning streak continues The Richmond Rabbits will get a “shot at redemption” this weekend, when they takes on the Tahunanui Tigers.

Having lost the first encounter of the season against the Tigers, last year’s champions then went on an unbeaten run, which continued against the Stoke Cobras on Saturday – winning 21-16 at Lower Ngawhatu.

Assistant coach Deon Charles says the Rabbits are buzzing after the win and realizes that a win against the thirdplaced Tigers can give the side some breathing room at the top of the table.

“We’re looking forward to taking on the

TUESDAY 7 May 2013

Tigers after an embarrassing first up defeat,” he says.

“This will be our shot at redemption and everybody is looking forward to it.”

Despite losing 22-20 to the Wanderers Wolves on the weekend, Deon is aware of what the Tigers possess.

“We don’t read into that. They’re in the top three for a reason and it’s probably just a blip on their radar. We’ll train to take on the tough team that we know they are.”

In the round’s other match, the Victory Phoenix-Vikings were beaten 68-10 by the Wairau Taniwha.

Nelson Premier netball gets underway for 2013 on Thursday night in their new home for the season at the Nelson College for Girls, Alison McAlpine Health and Fitness Centre.

With Saxton Stadium out of action for the foreseeable future, Nelson Netball has opted to play only the elite grade indoors.

Although a disappointment at having the harder surface and the outdoor elements to contend with, the netball community must be grateful that we have 13 courts in excellent condition. The players and officials coped when there was no indoor facility, it is now a matter of managing the body and injuries that may be exacerbated by the outdoor surface.

The grade below Premier was to be renamed Premier 2 and was to be played over four fifteen minute quarters however, it has now reverted to the ten minute quarters.

Although there are two courts at Nelson Girls there is not sufficient “run off “ between courts for the umpires therefore only one game will be played at a time.

The 5.45pm game will see Waimea College do battle with Stoke Nelson Building Society.

Waimea have the nucleus of their South Island Secondary Schools championship team, although having lost school leavers Ella Marwick, Kayla Cross and Ashleigh Laing. While Gracie Roberts is out with knee injury, the college has an abundance of talent coming through from the B and 10A teams.

Utility Breanna Whiting has impressed in her outings to date, with strong performances at both goal and wing attack in the New Zealand Secondary Schools game against Rangi Ruru and the pre-season Geraldine Hodgson Tournament. Kaitlyn Stringer will call the shots from the mid court and she will lead her team by example.

Stoke NBS are fortunate in having a multi-

Taylors Wanderers are likely to be on the receiving end of a baptism of fire when they meet defending champions, Jacks OPD at 7pm. Jacks have the most formidable shooting line up in the competition with Ani Waitai, Leanne Cook and Chelsea Brooks while their mid court is all class with Jodi Hikuroa, Kirsten Powick, Ella Marwick, Tinell Stevenson all vying for a start.

Wanderers coach, Natasha Crawford will make her debut as a premier coach and by all accounts has been working hard to develop her team.

The late game begins at 8.15pm and is sure to be the game of the night, between Richmond Robbie’s Bar & Bistro and Prices Pharmacy A. Prices have bragging rights after a 20 – 12 win over Richmond at the Geraldine Hodgson Tournament, however it’s literally another ball game on Thursday.

Prices will be without their shooter, Sharlene Lowe who is likely to be out with injury for the first round however coach, Mandy Whiting said all remaining ten players are competent at no fewer than two positions.

Richmond has their tried and true line up with the addition of Hilary Jones and dual registered, Garin College’s Makaila Powick.

No doubt there will be action aplenty at Nelson Girls where there is plenty of viewing room above the courts.

Major benefits to participating in swimming lessons year round!

At SwimMagic we believe there is no better time to learn to swim than during the winter months.

Learning to swim during summer is great, however just when your child is at their best, the weather turns cold and it is 6 months before they are at the beach enjoying the great skills they have picked up and have hopefully retained.

Hopefully a child who participates in lessons during winter can look forward to a summer at the beach and at the pool enjoying the water instead of spending it learning how.

Just like any activity children participate in, if 6 months was taken off, it would take significant time and energy to get back to the point they were at. Unfortunately with water, this down time could prove dangerous. There are numerous developmental, social, physical, and emotional benefits to participating in aquatic activities and swimming lessons year round.

SwimMagic is New Zealand’s leading swimming education provider providing to over 11,000 children weekly in programmes for all ages and abilities.

Programmes are offered 7 days a week, with times and days available to suit even the busiest lifestyles.

Nelson College ‘prepare for war’

A Nayland College player fights to break through the tackle of two Waimea players. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Nelson College is in for “a hell of a battle” against Waimea College this weekend and its coach says the side will have to prepare for war.

Both teams go into the second round fixture with one win already in the bag – Nelson beat Lincoln High School 43-5 in Christchurch while Waimea were too good for Nayland College winning 39-3 in Richmond.

But this Saturday’s game will be crucial to both team’s success and Nelson coach Bill Liddell believes Waimea is a major obstacle. “In my mind it won’t be this year [that Waimea wins again] but this is one of their better opportunities,” he says.

When questioned about where Waimea might have an edge over the Nelson side, Bill highlighted its impressive forwards, led by captain Tim Coman.

“Clearly their forward pack is very good.

I think they’ve got a good front row, Tim Coman is a very competent number eight who loves to make yards and the boy Sam Liebezeit is a very accomplished lineout forward. But in saying that we’ve got a balanced forward pack and backline too.”

The Nelson versus Waimea game is being held at Nelson College and the match will kick off at 12noon.

Meanwhile, Nayland will travel to Ashburton College for its second round match.

Guthrie wins Ray Anderson memorial yet again The Top of the South VMX club held their annual Morley Motorcycle and Marine Ray Anderson Memorial and Club Champs on Sunday May 5.

Forty four riders signed in but some did not like the showers with patches of rain and chose not to ride but those that did had a lot fun in the mud.

This year the Ray Anderson Memorial Trophy was raced for by the Mid Bore class with father and son Pete and Jared Guthrie both in the Mid Bore class it who was best in the conditions with Jared taking the first race and Pete second it was all on in the last race. Pete got the jump for the

start but Jared got past on the white flag lap and then it came down to the last lap with Pete keeping close to Jared and made his move on the last corners to take the win and trophy with Jared 2nd and Pete Anglesey 3rd .

The club would like to thank Ian Robinson from Morley Motorcycle and Marine for support of this event and the Lone Star Café and Bar, all the people who help with this event and the land owner. The next event is the 1st round of the Mainland series on the 16th of June. For more info on the club see www.sportsground.co.nz/ totsvmx.

Top results BMX star off to world champs Andrew Board for Nelson Editor swimmers andrew@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Nelson Swimming Club swimmers returned home with six medals after recently competing at the NZ Division II Swimming Championships held in Invercargill.

Kaine Ransby, 17, powerfully led the way by winning three of the teams six medals including the team’s only gold medal in the 400m freestyle race where he easily beat his personal best time by 7 seconds and also qualified for the first time for the NZ Short Course Champs in September later this year. Kaine then went on to win a silver medal in the 1500m freestyle where he thumped over 12 seconds off his PB and was only 0.11 seconds off the gold medal after a breathtaking sprint finish. His final medal was a bronze in the 200m Freestyle race where he beat his PB by 5 seconds.

Talya Harwood, 13, was the next best performed swimmer winning two silver medals. She won silver in the 800m freestyle race in another nail biting race finish to end up only 0.04 seconds off the gold medal which resulted in her smashing almost 23 seconds off her PB and broke the Nelson-Marlborough record for her age by over 2 seconds to “put icing on the cake”.

Talya also won silver in the 400m freestyle race beating her PB time by over 2 seconds.

Caitlin Delaney, 14, rounded off the medal winners by winning a silver medal in the 400m freestyle race for 14yo girls where she knocked almost 5 seconds off her PB time.

Sarah Walker may be the pin-up girl in the BMX world but Nelson’s Sally Davies is hoping to be the next big thing and this month’s world champs is the place she wants to start.

Sally, 22, has made the New Zealand BMX team for the world champs which are in Auckland later this month. She is aiming for a top 16 finish and says she'd like to travel the world racing BMX. The former Nelson College for Girls student returned from the national championships at Easter with a fifth placing in the cruiser category and 11th in her favoured 20 inch class, a result that she labelled “disappointing”.

“BMX is one of those sports where you can be top and then you fall off and that’s that. I didn’t fall off, I just had a crap semifinal and couldn’t get back.”

Sally says she started racing BMX after watching it at the Nelson track when she was 14. She decided she liked the look of the sport and hasn’t looked back.

“I loved it straight away, the speed and skill aspect is what I love, and beating the boys.”

Sally is the only woman from Nelson in the New Zealand squad but there are five other riders going to the world champs

Nelson's Sally Davies is competing for New Zealand at the BMX World Championships in Auckland later this month. Photo: Andrew Board. from Nelson, they are Glen Ogle, Logan Clarke, Tasman Wakelin, Nash Thornley and Brady Taylor-Jones.

She says she’s excited but nervous about the event which she describes as the biggest competition in her career and has been training as much as possible ahead of it. “The Nelson track isn’t very good, it’s not like any other track that you’ll compete at a high level on, it’s pretty much unusable during winter. So I have to travel to

Got Sport News?

Christchurch every few weeks to use their track, which gets a bit costly.”

Sponsors come to the party somewhat and Sally says she’s hoping to repay them and supporters with a strong showing at the world champs.

“I’m lucky with my sponsors, the Sign Shop, Stoke Cycles, Endura, Maxxis and my football team, Nelson Suburbs, have all been really supportive so I can’t wait to get up there and do my best.”
