Mayor’s end of year message Kia ora koutou te whanau o Whakatū What a year it’s been in our smart little city of Nelson Whakatū.

We have hosted a number of spectacular sporting events in 2018, not least the All Blacks and their Argentinian counterparts, as well as a range of top-level cricket and netball tournaments.

We’ve also enjoyed another impressive Nelson Arts Festival, welcoming international acts to our city, as well as a comprehensive range of services and events to mark Armistice Day. Our natural environment has also been well-cared for with the opening of the Maitai Wetland and increased efforts to look after our rivers.

We celebrated the opening of the new cycleway along Haven Road, which has already been exceptionally well-patronised.

We will also see the biennial ADAM Chamber Festival at the NCMA in February, with thousands of international guests and musicians making Nelson their temporary home.

Although many have the chance to take a break over the summer, shop workers, hospitality staff, medical teams and emergency crews are busier than ever, so we thank you for your mahi.

Please also remember Christmas can be a very lonely and despairing time for some, so please check in with your neighbours and colleagues to offer kindness and support.

Take care on the roads and our waterways and we wish a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all, on behalf of all the councillors and staff.

‘Slow down and buckle up’ say police Sara Hollyman Police are advising drivers to slow down, buckle up, and don’t drive while impaired over the holiday season.

“We are all about prevention,” says Top of the South Road Policing Manager, Inspector Dan Mattison. “We’d much rather prevent crashes and deaths than attend them.”

While Dan says the warnings are nothing new, he stresses their importance if we want to prevent any more deaths on our roads.

To date, there have been 17 deaths on the road this year throughout our police district which encompasses Nelson, Tasman, West Coast and Marlborough, a figure that Dan says is too high.

“These deaths represent family members and loved ones who are not coming home. Police and their partners endeavour to have zero fatalities on our roads.”

He says, while they do police the roads and issue infringements, this is just one option to prevent crashes, especially in terms of high-risk driving behaviour such as speeding, being unrestrained, impaired (drugs/alcohol) or distracted

Dan says speed and alcohol remain the most common factor in all of our crashes with vehicle positioning (following distances and keeping left) also featuring prominently.

He says drivers should always follow the two-second rule but acknowledges that can sometimes be hard to measure, as people often count faster.

“For every 10kms of speed you drive, you should be able to fit one car between you and the car in front.

“So if you’re driving 70kmh you should be able to fit seven cars in front of you, 100kmh;

10 cars in front of you.”

Dan says we are in a high-risk period when people are taking a much-deserved break and he wants to see everyone get home safely. “In terms of longer trips; plan the journey and make it part of the experience and have courtesy for other road users, pull over if possible and take frequent rest breaks.

‘I have to work on Ch Locally Owned and Operated

For many Nelsonians, Christmas Day is a time to relax with family and take a break.

But for others, it’s just another day at work. Reporter Kate Russell talks to some dedicated locals who spent December 25 in a very different way to most of us.

It’s 7am on Christmas Day, and care workers Gill Hogg and Kaylene Nimmo are already at work at the Saxton Rd Disability Support Services home in Stoke.

It’s their job to get the six residents who live there up for the day and give them a Christmas they’ll never forget.

For Gill, this is her tenth time working Christmas Day at the home. For Kaylene it is her second.

“You do it for the people,” says Gill.

“These guys need someone here and we enjoy it and try to make it special.

“Some of them don’t have any family around - we’re it. They love the day.”

Presents are usually opened around morning tea time with a

Photo: Kate Russell. festive Christmas meal at lunch time, where the residents get to choose the menu.

The rest of the day is usually spent discovering new presents, watching DVDs and relaxing.

Kaylene says she enjoys helping others and still gets to enjoy a late Christmas lunch with her family after her shift.

“I just find it rewarding.”

Meanwhile, Nelson Fire Station senior station officer Rob Appleton is no stranger to working on December 25.

“This is my ninth or tenth time working Christmas Day, and I’ll be working on Boxing Day too,” he says.

“It’s just the way our rosters work.”

He is one of eight firefighters on

duty at the station and works the 8am - 6pm shift, but says he aims to get to work an hour early.

“It’s pretty much a standard day, but it is very family-oriented and all our families and kids get to come down to the station for a nice Christmas lunch and we have a big ham and a Christmas tree,” Rob says.

“I don’t mind it, it’s just part of the

job. “Most people wouldn’t want to work Christmas Day, but this is what I signed up for - to protect the community.

“If we get a call out, we get a call out.”

Meanwhile, cat motel manager Tracey Musgrave usually arrives at the Purr-fect Retreat Cat Motel in Stoke at 7.30am on Christmas Day to tend to 75 cats.

She works a split shift on December 25 - three hours in the morning and three hours in the evening.

With plenty of Nelson cat owners heading away on holiday, Christmas is undoubtedly their busiest time of year.

“We were fully booked up from the beginning of August this year,” she says.

The cat motel will be home to cats ranging from four-months-old to 23-years-old this Christmas.

For Tracey, this is her fifth year working on Christmas Day. She will be accompanied by another staff member to make sure the cats are happy, fed and their rooms are clean.

“We just get on with it,” says Tracey.

“I’ve got company, so its quite enjoyable. When we go home afterwards, we always feel good knowing the cats are safe and well cared for.

“And I don’t mind it, because my kids have grown up and my husband is really understanding.” says Tracey.

“We just have Christmas a little bit later in the morning.”

Nelson set for busiest cruise season yet

Nelson’s cruise season is well underway with the first ship heading through the cut earlier this month.

Nelson will see nine visits from cruise liners ranging in size this season – a huge jump from the two visits last summer.

The first ship to arrive was Holland America’s MS Maasdam on December 14 – the largest passenger ship for the year, carrying 1258 passengers and 580 crew members.

The ship spent 12 hours here and local tourism operators say it made a busy start to the season.

Cable Bay Adventure Park owner Richard Ussher took over the business at the peak of last year’s summer season.

“We are getting quite a few bookings from the cruise ships, which is great.”

Nelson iSite manager Renee Bennett-Shields says the first visit of the season was a busy one with passengers wanting to do a number of things both in the city and out across the region.

“They were keen on the city highlights, we sent them on quite a few wine tours, taxis

took them out on four-hour tours, which was quite cool for the taxis.”

She says there was a lot of interest in Abel Tasman so they organised an extra bus to head out that way.

“There were a lot of people who stayed around the city, we handed out a lot of maps and they did things like walk up the centre of New Zealand.

“It was an exciting day, we had a lot of fun,” says Renee.

NRDA visitor destination manager Gisela Purcell says this season has seen a big increase in vessel visits compared to last season.

“We are working with Port Nelson on the attraction of further cruise business with a focus being on the smaller, higher-value ships.

“However, our overall focus is on growing the shoulder seasons as that will have the best returns for our community, and so the majority of our efforts are focussed in this area.”

The Caledonian Sky will arrive on December 29 and stay overnight, which will offer Nelson in a different light to the 188 people on board.

Are you affected by painful and unsightly varicose veins?

Would you love to wear shorts again?

Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy uses specialised ultrasound equipment to guide injections of sclerosent which permanently closes the vein. Virtually painless, this treatment requires no anaesthesia and takes just an hour.

Endovenous Laser Ablation Endovenous Laser Ablation uses targeted laser energy to seal the vein shut. This takes approximately an hour and has a 99% success rate (even after 5 years) with immediate relief of physical symptoms. EVLA combines the effectiveness of surgery with the minimally-invasive, outpatient ease of sclerotherapy.

And new to Nelson...

Venaseal™ The VenaSeal™ closure system uses a proprietary medical adhesive delivered endovenously to close the vein. If this solution is suitable for you, following this treatment there’s no need to wear compression stockings, and no restrictions on travel, you’ll be able to fly immediately afterwards. Great for summer!

Record breaking exhibition stomps into museum the Permian, which began at the end of the ice age.

It was the period of time before the first dinosaurs, when the first large land animals walked the earth.

“Visitors can expect to see sharks with circular saw-like teeth, giant amphibians and larger predators - most notably the giant sabretoothed Gorgonopsid, who was top of the food chain,” Lucinda says.

To manage the heavy number of visitors, a new ticket booking system has been set up on the Nelson Provincial Museum’s website.

“There are at least six sessions a day, so lots of opportunities for people to book in to see this exhibition over the summer,” says Lucinda.

“The booking system will also reduce the inconvenience of long queues and will help ensure visitors to the museum have the best possible experience.”

The exhibition was created by award-winning Australian exhibition creators Gondwana Studios, who specialise in creating full size, moving, animatronic models

A ‘monster’ of an exhibition is opening today at the Nelson Provincial Museum and it’s expected to attract record numbers.

‘Life Before Dinosaurs: Permian Monsters’ will have visitors stepping back in time 290 million years to when bizarre-looking animals dominated life on earth.

With six life-sized animatronic monsters, some over three metres long, as well as 30 casts of fossils, and full-size skeletons, this international exhibition is anticipated to be a summer hit.

Museum chief executive Lucinda Blackley-Jimson says the exhibition attracts record numbers of visitors wherever it goes - and she expects Nelson will be no different.

“The show combines education with interactive family fun. If you have a dinosaur fan in your family, they will love these Permian Monsters,” she says.

The exhibition is based around the geological period known as

What made news in 2018 2018 has been another busy year in Nelson. From devastating summer storms to the ongoing saga of Stoke’s new community centre here are a few snippets of the stories making headlines in Nelson this year.

STORMS RAVAGE THE REGION: The start of the year was a wet one, with ex-Tropical Cyclone Fehi causing major destruction to the region on 1 February and then ex-Tropical Cyclone Gita hitting just days later, on 20 February. Fehi brought plenty of flooding and ravaged two iconic Rocks Rd buildings - The Boat House and The Boat Shed - both of which reopened in October after extensive repairs. Residents from Monaco were also evacuated from their homes.

WAIMEA RD CRASH KILLS NEWBORN BABY: A crash on Waimea Rd on 30 April, caused by a drunk driver, resulted in a newborn baby boy’s death and rocked the community.

The boy’s parents were driving home from a friend’s house when the car slammed headon into their car. The baby was

born via c-section at 30 weeks, but he died five days later due to bleeding on his brain. The driver has pleaded guilty to all charges and was due to be sentenced on 20 December.

STOKE COMMUNITY CENTRE SAGA: The new Greenmeadows Community Centre in Stoke has been in the spotlight throughout 2018. As well as a $1 million budget blowout, an independent audit in July uncovered shoddy construction work that had to be redone by Auckland contractor Watts and Hughes. The centre was originally scheduled to be open later 2017. At this stage, it will now be opened in early 2019.

SPOTLIGHT ON THE CBD: In August, we launched a seven week focus on Nelson’s CBD after Nelson City Council organised a meeting with retailers and business owners in the wake of closing shops. We looked at a CBD playground plan, bringing Kirby Lane to life, how to encourage more inner city living, the idea of a multi-level carpark for Nelson, the positive Upper Trafalgar St closure and the mayor’s idea for

converting one of our innercity carparks into a greenspace.

NEW AIRPORT TERMINAL: 2018 was a milestone year for Nelson Airport with its brandnew terminal opening on 10 October. Throughout the year, travellers got to see the terminal take shape. The new terminal is the first stage of the $32 million redevelopment of the airport, which is expected to be complete by October 2019. The old terminal, which opened in 1974, is in the process of being demolished, freeing up space for additions to be made to the new building.

NELSON’S MAORI SANTA: The news year finished with a bang at the Nelson Santa Parade. During the 2 December parade, crowds were surprised to see that a traditional Santa had been replaced by ‘Hana Kōkō’ - the Maori equivalent.

The unexpected change caused a backlash on social media and divided the community. Parade organisers apologised the following week, saying they wanted to portray a multicultural Christmas but were “truly sorry the parade did not live up to expectations”.

Nelson’s very own Local App Radio

Many people may have bought or been given drones, model aircraft or kites for Christmas. They’re great fun when used safely but if you aren’t familiar with the rules of flying the potential for things to go wrong increases.

Flying drones, model aircraft and kites close to power lines can quickly ruin the fun and put people and property at risk. We want everyone to enjoy their unmanned aircraft this summer and we also want everyone to be safe, especially when around electricity.

Flying your drone or model aircraft too close to power lines or equipment can cause a flashover - an abnormal electrical discharge that can start a fire. Flying too close to power lines or associated equipment can also affect your craft’s signal.

Model aircraft, kites or drones touching power lines or equipment can cause an explosion, a fire or electrocution.

Remember, judging distance from the ground or via an onboard camera is difficult and it does not provide an accurate measurement. Please fly your drone, model aircraft or kite in places where there are no overhead lines and other electrical assets.

Know what to do to keep yourselves, your friends and your family safe. Teach the children around you to play safely with drones, model aircraft and kites.

Here’s what you need to do to help you stay safe: z

Always fly your aircraft in an area free of power lines and associated equipment

z

Keep your aircraft within your line of sight at all times

z

Fly drones and model craft in clear, calm weather when it is easier to see them and keep them under control

z

Only fly your aircraft during daylight hours

z

If your aircraft becomes entangled in power lines or electrical equipment, or flies into a substation, phone us on 0800 508 100. We will safely retrieve it for you. The team who work on and around our lines are trained to enter these facilities safely and are on call to help.

Have fun and play safely this summer!

Swimming hot spots this summer With summer now upon us, reporter Amy Russ checks out some of the region's best swimming spots.

Our stunning climate and easy access to some of the region’s best swimming locations make Nelson Tasman the place to be this summer.

From river to sea our region has something to offer for everyone - socialising with family and friends around a bbq to sunbathing on the golden beaches and enjoying a bevvie with a view – all within a short drive from Nelson.

Local swimming spots include the Aniseed and the Lee Valleys, and Wai-iti and Waimea rivers and each have reserves dotted along the way with allocated bbqs and plenty of space for a bit of backyard cricket.

Aniseed Valley boasts several reserves along the river-line, Busch reserve, Twin Bridges, White Gates and the Hackett are all popular swimming holes.

While along the Lee Valley, Max’s Bush, Meads reserve and Firestone are among the most popular sites.

Water temperatures average

around 18 – 21 degrees in the Tasman rivers with peak season usually running from the end of December through to late January/ early February.

Rabbit Island plays host to thousands of beach-goers each summer and caters to the boaters and water-skiers as well as swimmers and castle-builders.

If water sports are the order of the day, head to the back beach of Rabbit Island – accessed by Boat Ramp Rd – but if space to stretch out and sunbath or cook up a few bangers is more your style, follow Redwood Rd up to the beach and

find your perfect spot to relax.

Tahunanui, Mapua, Kina, Kaiteriteri and, the jewel in the crown, the Abel Tasman National Park, all line the Tasman Bay and each have their own camping grounds and special reasons for people to visit.

Tahunanui Beach is a hotspot for the town/beach festive-vibe, Mapua is well-known for its craft beers, restaurants and art scene, Kina is perfect for the family with its tidal pools and estuary.

Kaiteriteri boasts golden beaches and sparkling blue water and the Abel Tasman National Park is a

mecca for hikers and kayakers, day-trippers and paddleboarders.

Lastly, we can’t forget, Nelson Lakes National Park.

Snuggled between the mountain ranges lies the village of St Arnaud.

Spend the day or stop in on your way through the Wairau Gorge to Blenheim or Murchison.

Family day walks, or overnighters, the Nelson Lakes definitely has something for everyone and is absolutely a must-do place to visit over the summer.

All in all, summer is the time for the water, so get out and enjoy it.

Get an up close and personal view of WOW More than 60 finalist garments from this year’s World of WearableArt (WOW) Awards Show are on display at the National WOW Museum, in Nelson.

The exhibition of 67 finalist garments from WOW’s 30th anniversary season allows visitors to see the intricate, innovative and truly original designs up close.

This year’s Supreme Award Winner, WAR sTOrY by Tatyanna Meharry and Natasha English from Christchurch is among the winning garments on display. WAR sTOrY recently took pride of place in the Hall of Memories at the National War Memorial as part of the Armistice 100 Commemorations.

More than 60,000 people saw this year’s WOW awards show which presented works from 17 countries including China, the United States, United Kingdom, Poland, Greece, South Korea, Mexico, and Russia.

WOW chief executive Gisella Carr says the opening of the exhibition is the start of the next journey for these extraordinary works of wearable art and an opportunity to see

the detail and craftsmanship up close.

“The exhibition gives you a new appreciation for the skill, talent, and creativity of WOW. Our designers come from many walks of life. Some work in the worlds of fashion, textile or industrial design, jewellery, architecture, engineering, sculpture and painting.

Others do not work in the creative sector but are individuals with a creative idea that they execute brilliantly.

“This is an opportunity to understand the stories behind the garments and the designers themselves.

"The exhibition also features creative elements from the show and garments are displayed in sections that reflect the competition.”

Carr says 2018 has been a huge year for WOW as it celebrated its 30th anniversary, so this exhibition has a special importance.

The exhibition is now open to the public and will be updated in May to change out some of the garments on display.

Some things never change at campgrounds Kate Russell and Charles Anderson The old canvas tent may have been upgraded to a campervan tricked out with the latest modcons but the reason that Gerry and Robin Curran keep making the trip from Dunedin to Nelson each year remains the same.

“There is just everything here,” says Robin. “You can either do everything or nothing.”

Back in 1977, the couple came to Tahunanui on recommendation from a friend. They brought their family and their children.

But now it’s just the two of them on the 41st anniversary of their summers here.

“We have Christmas with other couples here and we take turns each year on who does the roast.”

They are two of the thousands of campers who will descend on Nelson this year as part of the annual influx of tourists.

Paul Ladbrook, manager of the Tahuna Beach Kiwi Holiday Park, says they are fully booked from Boxing Day through to late January - even February is looking busy. “Our bookings are

He adds that they are expecting an influx of campers for the Bay Dreams festival, which is on in Nelson from 3 - 5 January.

“You won’t get a bed in Nelson, let alone a camp site, during the event.”

Paul says they will be using “every available inch” of the park’s camping sites to accommodate more than 500 concert goers.

He also says they have worked hard on delivering a new holiday and entertainment

programme that will provide a wide range entertainment for their guests. “The programme has some new content but also brings back some of the old favourites with three bands, a clown show, obstacle course, trailer rides, kid’s discos and a talent show.”

Meanwhile, The Maitai Valley Motorcamp is also expecting a flood of visitors for Bay Dreams - as well as their usual guests.

Manager Carol Waite says they have set a limit of 400

festival goers to stay at the camp, with most of those spots already snapped up.

“The rest will be normal campers - we’ve still got a few spaces left for New Year’s Eve.” Cable Bay Holiday Park manager Josephine Hunter says they are fully booked between Christmas and New Years for their 20 powered and 20 unpowered sites.

“We have lots of families and people seemed to book early this year. We’re starting to turn people away.”

Bring on the e-bike revolution Nelson Weekly editor Charles Anderson borrows an e-bike for a week to see if all the fuss is warranted.

I am flying.

I’ve hopped aboard a locallymade Hybrid bike for the week, courtesy of the Bike Station and already I’m zooming down Main Rd Stoke with a backpack, on the way to the supermarket.

I have written about e-bikes before and the overwhelming comment that comes through is that they shorten distances – they flatten hills.

And they’re not wrong.

In Nelson we have a pretty good network of bike tracks that give access to the entirety of the city.

The only issue is in some places the gradient of that network can be a little intimidating.

Not on the Hybrid. I’m at work in Tahunanui in less than 10 minutes, zooming past dozens of drivers in cars.

You can see how cyclists can get sanctimonious because, for that week, I pitied those drivers – waiting limply in their steel shells.

So, I set myself the challenge of not driving a car for a week. And I almost made it.

Brendon at the Bike Station also fitted a child’s seat to the back meaning I could throw my threeyear-old on there and whizz her down to pre-school.

It’s faster to go straight down Waimea Rd and then through the middle of town to the Botanics. It took me about 13 minutes. This was revolutionary.

The law about speed on e-bikes is a little grey. There isn’t a max speed, but there is a max power allowed. But if you have a big motor in a light bike, well, then you fly.

Well, you do until you forget to charge the thing and drain the motor down to one bar.

I picked up my daughter one day and found that I had to conserve its energy, saving the power for the uphills and then turning it off for the downhills.

It felt like I was a thrifty 15-yearold trying to conserve petrol in my first car.

I headed to a job for the Weekly in Stoke on the bike – meeting

Despite there being hundreds of I’ve spoken to people who carparks that always seem full bike from Richmond into outside the new terminal there the middle of town for was only a few spaces available. It

seemed a bit backward.

If you only have carry-on this seems like a much better option than finding a park and paying for it.

But I did have to drive a car to go pick up some flooring. That is a limitation of the bike – it can’t carry a trailer load of wood … yet.

A week on an e-bike will bring it home acutely how we are still building transport infrastructure for a future that will likely not exist. Perhaps in that future we will all have e-cars, or self-driving cars.

But, really, if you want a ridiculously efficient means of transport which still gives you a healthy boost and makes you feel a bit more alive that sitting behind the wheel in rush hour traffic, inching forward every minute, then an e-bike is the best bet.

Yes, the one I was riding was several thousand dollars, so I won’t be getting one anytime soon. But the experience did re-energize my own motivation for riding my regular bike.

So now, pretty much every day, I ride to work.

Next issue, Weekly reporter Sara Hollyman tries out an e-car for a week.

Where to get medical help over the holidays Staff reporter If you need medical help over the holidays it's best to stop and and think about where the best place to get it might be.

Nelson Marlborough Health (NMH) is running a campaign to help people get the healthcare they may require over the holiday season.

The updated ‘Your Healthcare’ webpages on the NMH website outline the options people have for healthcare in the region.

This ranges across the entire spectrum of healthcare - from self-care and first-aid, and all the way onto the final resort, emergency care.

The campaign draws attention to the website information as well as providing an overview of healthcare options. The campaign comprises low-cost social media, advertising in visitor information guides, community newspaper advertising and use of NMH billboards.

The main objective of the campaign is to help people get the care they need, but it also builds on previous year’s efforts to encourage people to ‘save ED for emergencies’.

Injured or feeling unwell? Where

Photo: File. should I be? a GP, and enrolled patients pay a general practice visits, both durreduced consultation fee at that ing the day and after-hours, at People with non-life threaten- practice. participating clinics. ing, short-term illnesses or health Visitors to a medical centre where If people are not able to see their problems should see their GP, they’re not enrolled, will pay less GP they should go to the Urgent pharmacist, urgent care medical if they have a Community Servic- Medical and Injury Centre in centre or phone Healthline on es Card or High Use Health Card.

It’s free to register or enrol with under 14 are now eligible for free Patients can be referred from

these centres for x-rays if required.

There is more information about ‘Your Healthcare’ on www.nmdhb.govt.nz/healthcare The Nelson Marlborough Health website also includes Your Smart Summer Guide which has information on how to keep safe while living in the sun; avoiding food poisoning; water safety; driving tips and supporting good mental health and wellbeing.

There is also information on The Plan, a new initiative designed to delay teen drinking and reduce the supply of alcohol by parents to under-18s.

A community pharmacist is often able to assist with non-urgent injuries or illnesses, such as sprained ankles, sunburn, or hay fever – situations that are uncomfortable but not life-threatening.

A pharmacist can also give advice on the emergency contraception pill, emergency supplies of ongoing prescription medicines and first aid.

The NMH website, www.nmdhb. govt.nz/where-should-i-be has a list of pharmacy opening hours over the Christmas and New Year holiday period.

NHM wants people to stay safe over the period and make sure they know where to get help.

He will be keen to pick up the club championship after being spun in heat two last meeting after winning the first race.

The visitors took the spoils last meeting, the locals will be keen to keep this title at home, but

A sporting It’s been a huge year of sport in the region.

Reporter Jonty Dine takes a look back at some of the highlights.

Stoke’s clean sweep: Stoke/Nayland dominated the Nelson cricket scene this season, claiming all four trophies on offer. The side took out the Kelvin Scoble 50 over, T20, 110-over and Nelson cricket titles. Their perfect season looked to be coming to an end during the 50 over final with WTTU cruising in their chase of 149. However, a stunning spell from spinner Patrick Howes, who took 4 for 20 off six overs, secured the win and the fourth trophy for the club.

Club treasurer Andrea Fensom with her first kingfish of the season.

Summer in the bay Dominik Berghamer The snapper fishing over the last weeks has been extraordinary, reports of large hauls and massive fish kept pouring in from all over the bay. Last week the catches started to slow down as the water warmed up and by now, most snapper have gone off the bite and concentrate on producing another generation of fantastic sports and eating fish. If you are lucky you might spot a spawning school on the surface, an impressive sight!

With the snapper out of the game for the moment (they will come back in late January) us fishos have to look for other options to enjoy our favourite pasttime and luckily there are plenty of them.

Kingfish are probably the most exciting game fish in the bay and they like the warm water.

Although the larger specimen (legal size is 75cm) can be elusive it is worth every effort once you have hooked one of these green torpedoes. To land one, make sure your gear is strong and flawless, kingies will find every weak-

Brought to you by:

ness and they will run into any obstacle if you can’t hold them away from it.

Areas that provide cover and current are ideal, try fishing close to the rocks off Pepin Island, the Boulder Bank or even in the cut (make sure you stay out of the way of other boats). The spat farm produces good fish too but also attracts a lot of undersized fish, it can be difficult to hook a legal sized one.

Trolling large Rapalas is an effective way to cover a larger area, going over 8 knots of speed is said to keep the barracoutas away from your lures, unfortunately there seem to be a lot of them that don’t know this rule…

Casting stick-baits or poppers into “fishy” areas or work-ups is a spectacular method that challenges both your skills and gear, make sure they are up to it!

Live baits are another great method, burley up to attract a lot of baitfish and let a kahawai or jack mackerel swim out under a balloon or slowly troll them.

Nelson’s dynasty continues: The oldest rugby club in New Zealand celebrated its 150th anniversary in style by adding another Tasman Trophy title to its long list of championships. In appalling conditions at Neale Park, the hosts ground out a 16-6 win thanks, in large part, to the boot of the ever-composed Willy Havili.

Led by the uncompromising duo of Isaiah Miller and Ethan Blackadder up front, Nelson outmuscled Marist in the mud

Locally Owned and Operated

for its 13th title in 14 years.

All Blacks come to town: More than a century after the firstever game of rugby in New Zealand took place in Nelson the greatest team in the game’s history finally made its debut in the city. The All Blacks spent a week in town rubbing shoulders with locals before 21,000 fans packed Trafalgar Park for the test against Argentina.

Hometown hero Shannon Frizell put in a storming performance for the men in black as they cruised to a 46-24 victory.

McLaren calls curtains: The Black Sticks superstar called curtains on her career this year and capped it with the crown of Sportsperson of the Year at the Nelson Sports Awards in November. Anita’s final year saw her winning gold at the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coat and finishing with a record 271 caps as well as netting another record 105 goals.

Mako fall short: Pipped by rivals Canterbury in an absorbing semi-final clash, the Mako’s stellar season came to an end at the hands of the defending champions at Trafalgar Park.

Tasman dropped just one game

during the regular season to finish in second spot and earn the right to a home play-off.

However, it was a Nelson son who stole the hopes of the city as Mitch Drummond led the red and blacks to a 21-16 win.

Amelia brings home bronze: Nelson College for Girls footballer Amelia Abbott created history with the Football Ferns winning bronze at the FIFA U17 World Cup. Amelia scored a stunning goal in the side’s quarter final win over Japan as the Ferns shocked the world by making it to the top four. New Zealand were knocked over by Spain in the semi before defeating Canada to claim third.

Giant resurgence: After a forgettable 2017 campaign, the Nelson Giants returned with a vengeance in 2018, winning 14 games during the regular season and dropping just four to finish second. Stars Finn Delaney, named in the season all-star five, and Kyle Adnam were at the forefront of an enterprising style implemented by new coach Jamie Pearlman.

However, it was the Southland Sharks which ended the dream run, pipping the Giants 98-93 before going on to claim title.

Suburbs’ dream run: A pair of dubious penalty goals denied Nelson Suburbs a shot at history this season. The side progressed to the Chatham Cup finals for the first time in a decade thanks to a gutsy 1-0 quarter-final win over Auckland powerhouses East Coast Bays. Saxton was packed for the semifinal showdown but Suburb’s run came to an end after the 2-0 defeat to 2016 champions Birkenhead United.
