Councillor phones in meetings while studying yoga in India Charles Anderson Editor

charles@nelsonweekly.co.nz EXCLUSIVE

A Nelson city councillor has been accused of “rorting the system” by teleconferencing into council meetings while actually being in

India studying to become yoga teacher for two months.

Kate Fulton has come under fire for her decision to leave the country a few weeks into council business. All councillors received a five-week holiday that only recently ended.

Fellow councillors did not know of Kate’s intentions until very recently, when she left a workshop saying she was flying to India for two months to study yoga.

At a Sport and Recreation committee meeting last week, chair Tim Skinner did not accept Kate’s

apology for being absent from the meeting.

“From my perspective it was a bad precedent to set. I didn’t want it to be seen as a get out of ‘jail free card’ ... it’s rorting the system.”

Councillors are able to use tel-

econferencing software to phone into council meetings if they are physically unable to attend. However, Tim says he believes the spirit of the convention means councillors should only use this if

Dave Smith started smoking when he was 17-yearsold. He spent the next 40 years trying to quit but never could. Now, on the brink of 60 and after a lifetime on the ocean as a fisherman, he has only just found relief.

After taking up vaping this time last year, he has not had a cigarette for 12 months.

“I was at sea working 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All we would do is

smoke and drink to stay awake.”

He would also spend a small fortune. Now he is a convert.

“It definitely works.”

‘Vape’ culture is on the rise in Nelson with various stores popping up in the city. The term refers to e-cigarettes, which uses a battery-operated machine that heats up nicotineinfused fluid that is then converted into vapour.

“There could always be more being done. It’s something we’ve thought about for our young kids. There’s no good playgrounds or anything.”

“Each time I come past I seem to notice a police officer at the library. I don’t suppose there’s enough for the kids to do.”

“Not really, they probably need a rec center or skatepark. Something like that.”

“They are not well catered for. There should be a real drive to provide young people with activities, somewhere to go where they can have fun not cause trouble.”

Dharm Patel says that he has long advocated e-cigarette use and first sold them in 2008.

However, more recently he has seen the rise in their popularity.

“It’s just cheaper and safer than smoking. For people who want to stop then it is really helpful,” he says.

In October, the Ministry of Health said e-cigarettes could help people to quit smoking, and could be a valuable tool to achieving the ministry’s goal of New Zealand becoming smokefree by 2025.

“When used as intended, e-cigarettes pose no risk of nicotine poisoning to users ... [and] release negligible levels of nicotine and other toxicants into ambient air with no identified health risks

A range of e-cigarettes available from first to third generation.

However, many café and restaurants still treat e-cigarettes as normal smoking and ban it.

Dharm says Nelson is still new to vaping but says it is no surprise to see more shops popping up

to sell them. To get a full set-up can cost anything between $30 to $200.

Some people use vaping to give up smoking, others just like the taste.

“We call them ‘cloud chasers’.”

All Dave Smith knows is that he

feels much better than when he smoked all day.

“You’re not waking up in the morning thinking ‘Christ, I need a smoke’.”

His partner Diana Weinlich says it also means she is not kicking Dave out of bed to sleep on the couch due to his sleep apnoea.

However, she warns that going cold turkey can be difficult.

Other smokers spoken to by the Nelson Weekly however, say that e-cigarettes are a poor substitute and one even expressed scepticism that smoking cigarettes was bad for your health.

The Ministry of Health says half of all long-term smokers will die from a smoking-related disease, and around 5000 people die each year in New Zealand because of smoking or second-hand smoke exposure.

“Or if they had been in Golden Bay last week and couldn’t get back because of the storm,” he says. “What Kate does outside council is her own business, but when councillors aren’t attending meetings it is in the ratepayers’ business.”

If councillors miss four meetings without having their apologies accepted then they can be removed from council.

“Work things do come up and we can be flexible,” says Tim. “But usually we would expect councillors to take a leave of absence for this sort of thing.

For me, it’s taking the mick.

“I could go to Brazil to learn to kick a soccer ball or Oktoberfest to learn to get drunk and still tune into a council meeting and clip the ticket.”

Kate has come under fire for shirking her time at the council table before – last year missing several meetings as she was studying to be a midwife and then deciding to campaign to be West Coast Tasman’s Green Party candidate.

“Councillors have a right to attend meetings and a chairperson may give approval,” Rachel says.

Rachel says that in the Sport and Recreation committee’s case, she would have preferred that Tim let other councillors know that Kate was on the line from India, waiting to join in.

“It would have been a courtesy to the committee.”

She says that she makes her decisions based on circumstances of each meeting and that Kate had made a valuable

contribution to projects like the Long Term Plan and wanted her input.

However, asked if Kate should have taken a leave of absence Rachel says that it’s a judgement call for each councillor.

Deputy mayor Paul Matheson says the way Kate went about leaving the country “irked” him.

“Kate has a habit of going AWOL. It was the midwifery, then the Green Party and then this. There is a procedure and it’s disappointing [the way she has handled it].”

The Nelson Weekly emailed Kate on Friday asking about the issue but did not receive a response.

Construction on Nelson’s first multi-story special housing development in the inner city is progressing, with the majority of the apartments already sold.

The Betts Corner apartments were given the green light last June as one of Nelson City Council’s special housing areas.

The 17-apartment complex sits on the corner of Trafalgar Square and Nile St, which had once been used as a carpark.

Chairman of Scott Syndicate Development Company, Craig Dennis, says ground works are nearing completion and people can expect to see some “real change” on the site very soon.

The development will include underground car-parking, separate storage rooms and a large, green, communal, north-facing private lawn.

As part of the project, Craig says they have worked with the council to close the section of Trafalgar Square between Nile St and Selwyn Place for three

“Rather than having to be disruptive with large lifting equipment, this is more effective for everyone,” he says.

“We have made a real effort to work with neighbours and while many were not too happy with the closure, most have come around.”

“Effectively, they are almost all gone. It is a relatively new idea for Nelson to be selling off a plan and people have put a lot of trust in the project,” Craig says. “We’re really excited – Nelson needs more intensified living in the CBD. It is such a fantastic environment.”

Sparkling symphony under the stars Charles Anderson The scene was set at Saxton Oval on Saturday as more than 7000 people flocked to hear some of the world’s most captivating voices light up Nelson.

Eager punters were queuing at the gates well before they opened, making sure they secured their preferred positions on the oval.

The voices of Simon O’Neill, Anna Leese and Bic Runga were accompanied by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra well into the

evening.

“It was so fantastic to see all those people in such a beautiful setting, listening to the most glorious music – it really is one of the best nights out in Nelson,” says councillor Gaile Noonan, chair of the community services committee.

Conductor Hamish McKeich said it was a “magical evening”.

“We could all feel the energy coming from the audience, which always helps performers to give it everything.”

Attendee Bernard Downey said the event showcased everything that was great about New Zealand, and was impressed with the fireworks display at the end too.

“It was probably one of the best I have seen. It was really something.”

The audience included a huge cross-section of the community, across all ages, and with some large groups with very well-organised picnics.

Special guests included those from Big Brothers Big Sisters and the Blind Foundation, who were

there courtesy of donated tickets from the Pay It Forward project.

Nelson City Council’s festivals team leader. Axel de Maupeou, said Saxton Cricket Oval proved to be an excellent venue.

“It has enormous potential for all kinds of events in the future.”

Opera in the Park is part of Nelson City Council’s Summer Events, featured in the Summer Events Guide, which is full of community, cultural, sports and recreation events.

What about the kids in Stoke?

Sara Hollyman & Charles Anderson Young people in Stoke say they are crying out for something to do.

Last week the Nelson Weekly reported on a council document that outlined a raft of violence at Nelson libraries.

The report particularly focused on Stoke, where librarians had been assaulted. As a result, the council deployed security guards and youth workers to help diffuse the situation.

“We just want something to do,” says one young person who the Nelson Weekly spoke to.

“There’s nothing to do around here. We’re just bored.”

Owner of Squires café Kim Hall says that the problem is nothing new and has an obvious solution.

“For the 30 years since I’ve been here the kids have been asking for a skatepark. Instead, you bought them a security guard.

“You’ve got all these great areas around here to put a skatepark.

The area where they took out the tennis courts for instance.

Right next to the police station, what trouble would they get into there?”

A skatepark had been on the

However, it was voted down at the last minute after concerns that it might cause some traffic issues.

Instead, council approved a $6.4 million multi-use centre that is

under construction.

The building has been contro-

versial with strong support from Stoke sports and community groups, but others have questioned the site and cost.

There is nothing within the new centre that is dedicated to youth.

“You’ve got a council who are right outside our shop just 52 metres away from traffic lights, spending $100,000 on a traffic

island for pedestrians, but they can’t address a problem with nowhere for these youth to go,” Kim says.

Stoke resident Carmon Lawson says if the council looked at the suburb it would see that it needs facilities for all sectors - youth, families and the elderly.

“Then maybe some of these issues may be resolved.”

Nelson City councillor Gaile Noonan says that the council was looking at what options there might be for young people in the area.

“You can’t tell youth where to go.

They gravitate wherever they feel comfortable.”

The council report cites factors contributing to the issues as being poor design of the library and surrounds, attraction of the free Wi-Fi and shelter, and the lack of suitable alternative youth facilities in the Stoke area.

Youth worker Liam Doherty, who has been at the library for the past two weeks, says the young people really need a skatepark.

“Or at Greenmeadows. They need somewhere where they can be themselves and be young people.

Once they have that input they can start to take a bit of responsibility.”

Teen crashes stolen car in Stoke Staff reporters A 15-year-old female was arrested on Friday afternoon after she crashed a car that she allegedly stole from Marsden Cemetery while on community service.

Sergeant Carwyn Blackmore of Nelson Police said the teenager crashed the car at the corner of Main Rd Stoke and Saxton Rd at 12:55pm.

"She was then taken into custody," he said.

A woman, who was at Marsden Cemetery soon after the incident occurred, said that the alleged offender was on community service when she assaulted a woman and stole a car.

The driver then lost control at the roundabout and crashed. Police arrived soon after arresting the woman.

Nests containing up to 1000 wasps each are being found in Nelson homes, say two local pest controllers.

Shane Warland from Flybusters Anti Ants has responded to around 200 callouts this year so far for wasp problems alone.

“I went to one property in Richmond and removed 15 Asian wasp nests from the gutters and a German

wasp nest from the retaining wall. Then I went next door and got 12 more nests from there.”

The giant German wasp nest is made of bark and wasp spit, says Shane, but feels light to hold.

He said he also responded to a Brook St home recently where a man simply walked down the steps, which was unknowingly home to a wasp nest, and was stung 6 times. “They can be danger-

ous, especially when you come across them unexpectedly or if you are allergic.”

Graeme Richards of Fifeshire Pest Control says that we haven’t even hit the peak of the season yet and, while there has been a focus on wasp control in native bush around the region, it hasn’t slowed the number of wasps in urban areas.

According to Shane, New Zealand has one of the highest densities of common and

German wasps in the world.

“It’s all the beech trees, they provide a good food source and with the weather patterns, the rain and the warmth, all bugs are booming,” he says.

“If you get an Asian wasp nest, they might have 50 wasps hanging around protecting the place and a can of fly spray may do the trick, but if you get a German nest, they can have 1000 in there and then you’re in trouble”.

More Maori Wardens needed Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

They give up their time to keep Nelson’s streets and events safer, but more people are needed to come on duty and “suss it out” as a Maori Warden.

Coordinator Harvey Ruru says they currently have 20 wardens - 13 of whom are dedicated for most duties.

But it’s not enough to cover the workload, especially with a big year of events coming up.

“We would like to have 25 to 30 dedicated Maori Wardens,” Harvey says.

“September 15 is when the All Blacks vs Argentina game happens at Trafalgar Park and we would like at least 25 dedicated Maori Wardens to be on duty for this event.”

Maori Wardens maintain a close

relationship with the police and have many roles in the community, including discouraging crime on the streets, assisting in keeping youth and people safe, while being compassionate of those in need.

They hit the streets of Nelson from Thursday to Saturday nights, working in pairs, and focusing on any areas where young people gather.

They may deliver young people

home to their parents, or confiscate alcohol in the liquor ban area.

On the community welfare side, the wardens support families and have opened their own homes to people needing shelter. They also support people in the courts.

Services are not confined to Maori - all nationalities are helped and supported by the wardens.

Harvey says they had a busy 2017 with the Masked Parade and San-

ta Parade and is encouraging anyone who is interested in becoming a warden to reach out.

“We’re a fun team to be with, free training is provided and we assist with your future potential,” he says. “Many Maori Wardens have been with us as a step towards employment, but mainly a step in self confidence by being in a supportive team.”

To find out more, contact Harvey Ruru on 0273489715 or 5469556.

New line pricing from 1 April 2018

The prices in the table below are used to charge electricity retailers in the region served by Network Tasman. Electricity retailers determine how to package this cost together with the energy, metering and other retail costs when setting the retail prices that appear in your power account. Our prices cover the cost of our local distribution network and the cost of national transmission of electricity.

Network Tasman’s total delivery price will increase by 1.3% from 1 April 2018 to reflect increased costs of supply. This is equivalent to 68 cents per month (excluding GST) for an average residential connection.

Discounts are credited directly to consumers’ power accounts for eligible connections twice per year. The first discount will be calculated based on usage from 1 April 2018 to 31 August 2018. The second discount will be calculated based on usage from 1 September 2018 to 31 March 2019.

Understanding the table below: Most residential consumers and some small businesses (those who have supplies with a maximum delivery of 15kVA) are Group 1 consumers. Group 2 consumers have a delivery capacity of between 20kVA and 150kVA.

All prices and discounts are GST exclusive. More detailed line pricing information is available on our website: www.networktasman.co.nz If you have any queries, please email us at info@networktasman.co.nz or telephone (03) 989 3600 or 0800 508 098.

Aikido Nelson throws demonstration Sara Hollyman

Around 100 people gathered to watch Aikido Nelson show off their stuff at the Church Steps on Sunday as part of the club’s 30th anniversary.

Starting with their juniors, the demonstration progressed through to teenagers, adult students and sensei, who all took turns pretending to attack a senior

club member.

The afternoon ended with a sensational show of talent from visiting Sensei Aaron McConnell, who is a 5th degree black belt.

The club was co-founded 30 years ago by Cornelia Baumgartner and Martin Hartman. Nelson Aikido instructor Callum Cockerell says the demonstration was aimed at encouraging more people to “give it a go”.

Theatre Royal manager moves on Sara Hollyman Theatre Royal Manager Janice Marthen has decided that it’s time to move on after nearly eight years in the job.

Nelson Historic Theatre Trust Chair Mark Christensen says Janice has built the theatre up to become the busiest performing arts theatre in New Zealand, with over 300 uses each year for the past few years.

"No other community comes close to that level of usage. Janice has done a tremendous job for the Theatre Royal and for the Nelson performing arts community in her time here.”

Janice says it was "the hardest decision” to leave what she considers to be "the best job in Nelson” but she knows that the theatre is in great shape.

Theatre Royal She feels she can now manager Janice safely leave her "old girl” Marthen. to spend more time with her family.

"It’s time for someone else to have all the fun.

It’s been an enormous privilege and honour to have led this beautiful theatre with its outstanding staff and trustees.”

The Theatre Royal is the oldest purpose-built theatre in New Zealand and first opened its doors in 1878. In 2007 it underwent a $6.2million extensive refurbishment that took three years.

The Theatre Royal is owned and operated by the Nelson Historic Theatre Trust and supported by the Nelson City Council.

"You don't have to have any experience at all and we take kids as young as five."

Children start with a yellow belt and then progress through to different coloured tips to give them a sense of achievement. "Once they hit about thirteen, a lot want to jump right into adult training, so they go back to a white belt," Callum says.

Gemma Percy, 10, has been practising the art for about a

year and loves it.

"I enjoy meeting new people and learning new things,” she says. “It's good self-defence, too."

Lochlan Cockerell, 10, got into it because “his dad does it”. "I like it because it's a lot more hands-in than karate.

You get to get right in there".

His brother Ethan, 8, is also part of the club.

The club has many other events planned for the year.

Violence at Nelson libraries: Yuck. Is WiFi limited to 1 hour per device per day? If not, try looking into that.

Lisa Wakelin.

Because they are bored is not a good enough reason to treat the staff and the public like that. Bloody disgusting!

Annie Mcbrydie.

Shocking... but I have seen the Stoke security guy.. he must be about 70yrs old... can’t see the unwelcome being intimidated by him or even respectful of him.. Just saying.

Shelley Bishop.

The trouble is they go unpunished when they are caught as it’s never the little darlings' fault.

Lesley Amos.

Shouldn't need security at a community library... how sad.

Etana Emissary.

About time, shit like that has been going on around there for years, the police would never do anything about it!

Mandi Halliday.

So pleased something is being done! The library should be a safe place. Our young people today need a place to hang out, but the library is not the place.

Tania Armstrong.

Unfortunately they will probably find somewhere else to

hang out. Spend money on good security cameras, catch them in the act and prosecute.

Rozane Stephenson.

This is disgraceful, have seen police at the main library in Halifax Street, it's well known that drug deals go on there and some well-known druggies go there daily, plus guys with booze.

Brenda Kenny.

It gives us better trade access to ten countries around the Pacific.

Total estimated gains to New Zealand are $2.5 billion per year. Benefits for Nelson include duty free access for kiwifruit to Japan and wine to Canada.

The TPPA has triggered over a dozen protests in Nelson, more than any issue since the 1981 Springbok tour. Labour candidate Rachel Boyack led the march up Trafalgar Street with a sign saying “TPPA – No way.”

Winston Peters described the deal as a “scam and sham”. They, like Trump in America, exploited a fear of foreigners to whip

There is no need to apologize. If they can't stay on there bikes, tuff. Darrin Limmer.

Spreading random kindness: I've always said that this is the best coffee shop in Nelson.

John Zwoerner.

Fantastic people.

Mel Courtney.

Sick!! What is happening to the human race? Heather Bovy.

Nice one.

Kane Miller.

Geeez, stay classy Stoke/Nelson. Jeff Scott.

Banding together for the Boathouse: Yes, save The Boathouse.

Shona Harford.

I think giving the $ to Takaka community would be waaay better use of $ and time!

Marcia Hickmott.

I understand your frustration Marcia, but please be aware that I started organising this long before Takaka got hit so hard, for the NELSON owners of a NELSON business. The Boathouse owners are local. I appreciate that you are concerned about Takaka and devastation that has hit it, as I am too, and I will happily put all my time, effort and concern into another fundraiser for Takaka as I’m sure these beautiful musicians would also.

Trudi Wilson.

NZTA apologises for blackspot: You have to ask why NZTA used concrete in the first place.

They surely researched the issue before using concrete in that location. Duh!!!

Dennis Goodman.

Nelson Matters Trade policy is essential to Nelson. We export more per person than any region in New Zealand.

Our export sectors earn $1200 million a year and employ over 15,000 people.

National in both government and opposition has consistently backed freer trade. We championed CER with Australia in the 1980s, Singapore in the 1990s, China in the 2000s, and in the last decade the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement or TPPA. The final deal was agreed to in Tokyo on 23 January but the detailed text only became public last week.

Finally...

Sammie Jay Ess.

up anger. The extraordinary part is that New Zealand First and Labour are now backing TPPA and voting for it in Parliament.

The Greens, to their credit, are having none of this duplicity.

Labour and New Zealand First have attempted to justify their change in position saying the agreement has been revised.

The amendments total two pages out of 5,000. Changing the agreements name by adding the words “Comprehensive Progressive” TPPA is just window dressing. Nelson’s TPPA protestors will feel horribly duped by the new government when

It is the best coffee shop in Nelson! Vicki Charles.

Students help teachers during flood: Awesome, Graeme Bloomfield.

Bengie Benge.

Classic!

Mike Heine.

Teen on community services steals car at Marsden Cemetery then crashes in Stoke: Community service and still stealing cars? I guess some people just don't learn at all and it's a waste of time and money rehabilitating them.

Sergey Ratakhin.

Hope the elderly man is ok.

Lorraine Greenfield.

That's random.

Rayon Mackenzie.

Wow, we go there often and always leave keys in car - no more now. Beryl Smith.

they read Professor Jane Kelsey’s analysis of how little the TPPA has been altered. www.itsourfuture.org.nz Trade access matters hugely to New Zealand living standards.

We took a big hit in the 1970s when the UK joined the EU, limiting what we could export there. I am proud that National rose above traditional oppositional politics, giving Helen Clark the parliamentary numbers to secure the China free trade agreement in 2008. Exports to China have grown six fold from $2 billion to $12 billion, contributing to our recent

prosperity. We do not want to be too dependent on China any more than the UK or the US. A key benefit of the TPPA is opening new markets and spreading our risks.

It is good news for Nelson that the TPPA is concluded. We are a small nation and we will never get prosperous selling goods to just each other. We should not fear the world. Kiwis can complete globally. Opening up new markets for our quality products is about securing more jobs and better incomes for the future.

The blended Scotch whisky made by the Chivas brothers can trace its roots back to 1801 with the opening of their grocer’s store in Aberdeen. The store specialised in selling luxury foods, coffee, exotic spices, French brandy and Caribbean rum to its wealthy clientele. By 1842, the brothers were supplying the royal family at Balmoral Castle, and in 1843 Chivas Brothers was granted a Royal Warrant to supply Queen Victoria.

asked to help coach. It’s worked out, now we have 285 national medals, 35 national titles and 16 athletes on full scholarships in the United States. But I always said I’ll run and I’ll write.

Q: How did you manage writing the novel?

A: This one, Ghosts of Gridiron, is one I got in my head. So I just did it. It took me about three years because trying to coach and write is difficult. I wrote it without my wife knowing, behind her back.

Then on her birthday I gave her a present. She said she knew I was up to something.

Q: How did you get into writing?

A: I grew up in Texas and went to university there and was a runner. I got a degree in journalism and ran after college and pursued my journalism career as a sports writer. I also almost qualified for the Olympics a few times but never quite made it. I lived in Oregon, Boston, and came back to Dallas and wrote for the Dallas Morning News for about 10 years. I covered everything. Everybody has a story, it’s finding the best one and telling it in the most compelling way.

Q: What drew you to sports journalism?

A: I love sports and I was always good at writing. From the time I was a kid I wanted to be a football player, a basketballer, baseball. Finally got to running and

Nelson artists head to Fringe Nelson‘s theatre scene is set to hit the fringes next month when a theatre troupe takes its show to both the Dunedin and New Zealand Fringe Festivals.

Local troupe, Wintergreen Creative will take The Girl who Climbed a Mountain and Saved the World to the festivals which showcase works from around New Zealand and the world.

Laura Irish is also taking a separate show Medea: The Mother to the Dunedin Fringe, after it pre-

mieres this Saturday at Ghost Light Theatre.

Lisa Allan, of Wintergreet Creatvie, says that while she is the playwright of The Girl who Climbed a Mountain and Saved the World, the process has been very collaborative.

She estimates that around 70 people have been involved in shaping the script over the last year.

The idea for the show came while Lisa was touring her 2017 solo show, Rapanui- the song of stone.

She stayed a few nights in New Plymouth, under Mt Taranaki.

The title for the new work came as she gazed up at the peak.

When Lisa returned home to Nelson she called people from the region together to share stories of mountains and water.

These stories, and the expert guidance of dramaturge, Kath Mitchell, inspired the first draft of the script which is billed as a “play for voices”.

“This style of theatre is like a ra-

dio play but you get to see the storytellers and experience them live,” Lisa says.

Three actors and two musicians tell the story of Kira, a young girl who can hear the voices of the Earth. Three actors and two musicians tell the story of Kira, a young girl who can hear the voices of the Earth; Hannah, a green-gumbooted dairy farmer from Riuwaka, Nelson and Tom, a moustachioed Kiwi travelling in India and Mount Taranaki.

The troupe are raising funds for their tour and Lisa says would appreciate any support.

You can read more about the project and donate to their Givealittle fund at https://givealittle.co.nz/ cause/the-girl-who-climbed-amountain.

Nelson/Tasman dates are still being organised, check www. wintergreencreative.co.nz for updates.

After studying the Pikler approach in Budapest, Natasha has established The Children’s Garden here in Nelson, incorporating this approach into what is proving to be a popular and positivelyreceived programme.

Enrolments are now open for the April to June period. Phone 03-553-0665 for more information or check out The Children’s Garden page on Facebook.

Paula’s Tiny Tots located at 89 Parkers Road is a “home away from home for children aged 0-2years” says manager Cara-lee Tolson.

“We are a messy play centre and believe children learn through sensory experiences. The centre philosophy is based around warm reciprocal relationship with whanau, and staff forming close bonds with the children.

Each child’s culture is represented in the centre and our programme is based around free play with teachers responding to individual children’s interest and planning for each and every child.”

Cara-lee describes the centre as “a wonderful inviting space for little ones, with a large backyard featuring real grass”.

The children spend a lot of time in our outside environment, visiting the local beach and campground and learning about nature.

Paula’s Tiny Tots currently has spaces available and offers the first nine hours free per week (*12 hours free for NMIT students). Go to www.paulaspreschool.com for more info.

Largest cruise ship visits Nelson Sara Hollyman Nelson Haven welcomed the largest cruise ship to ever visit its waters on Sunday.

Crystal Symphony docked at Port Nelson at 9am, the first cruise ship to visit Nelson this summer.

Weighing in at over 50,000 tonnes and 238m in length, she was given a total overhaul in November 2017.

It is just bigger than the 225.6m Europa 2 in December 2016 and the 688-passenger Sirena which came in April 2017.

The ship offers 28 brand-new luxury penthouses. It carries a total of 980 passengers, plus crew.

Port Nelson Harbourmaster Dave Duncan says that "it’s been a difficult one for us”.

"We've moved things around a couple of times but now we're on top of it."

She was a welcome sight for local tourism operators, many of whom were waiting to pick up

eager passengers.

"I appreciate that it's difficult for Nelson businesses not knowing when these ships are arriving, but the opportunities are definitely there for businesses,” says Dave.

"These passengers are coming to Nelson for the first time, the ship's coming to Nelson for the first time.”

Cruise passengers Bob and Laura Brandt, from Seattle, USA, planned to spend the day exploring Nelson City and checking out some local restaurants.

Crystal Symphony is on a 14day cruise that started in Sydney and will end in Auckland.

It left for Wellington at 7pm on Sunday. It costs NZ$8165 per person for one of the 461 ocean-view staterooms.

Dave says the port is hoping to attract more cruise ships.

"Although they are booked in two or three years in advance, so it won't be immediate."

It’s been a rocky road for the Brook Sanctuary to achieve pest-free status. In 2017 there were three drops of a total of 26.5 tonnes of brodifacoumlaced bait within its 14-km pest proof fence, along with numerous legal challenges and protests along the way. But their vision is almost complete to eradicate rodents and reintroduce native wildlife into the 690 hectare piece of land.

Kate Russell speaks with trust coordinator Kat Willcocks about what has been happening at the sanctuary since the last drop on October 18, and when locals can expect to take a peek inside.

How did the pest operation go? The pest removal operation went exactly as we hoped.

We’ve had no signs of any rats, mice or stoats since. We now have about 300 volunteers helping with the monitoring project, which involves checking 2700 devices to make sure there are no traces of pests inside the fence. This will continue into autumn and we’ll carry out smaller scale monitoring indefinitely as part of the general management of the sanctuary. The closure has also

given us the opportunity to improve our visitor track network and its signage.

When are you re-opening to the public? We hope to welcome the public back in to the sanctuary late autumn. Before then we will be running guided tours in April/May which include glow worm walks, a fence-line 4WD experience, an uplands tour and a behind-thescenes tour. It’s a great way to experience the sanctuary from a different point of view.

tions. The gate will be monitored during opening hours and locked outside of those hours. We will also ask people to check their bags or prams before they come inside.

Will locals still be able to use the sanctuary for leisure? The sanctuary will still be a place for local people to enjoy. They will always be able to walk, run, picnic and play in the stream.

Will there be an entry charge?

There will be no fixed charge to enter the sanctuary when we open to the public again. There will be a suggested donation which people can give at the entrance gates. In the future, we will follow the example of all of other large, public, fenced sanctuaries in New Zealand and begin ticketed admission – but we are still in the long process of developing this structure and are keen to involve the public in these decisions.

What is your vision? Our vision is to bring rare wildlife back, benefiting not only the birds but local children and the wider Nelson community.

For this vision to become a reality we need the fence and gates to be bio-secure and we need donations, memberships or gate revenues to help fund the conservation that is going on inside the fence. We want nothing more than for all of Nelson to come and experience the sanctuary and for people to see and get excited about the colourful future that lies ahead of us.

Will security be tighter? Biosecurity is our top priority and is vital to the safety of wildlife inside the sanctuary and of future wildlife reintroduc-

History of song coming to Theatre Royal The Theatre Royal is delighted to host two wonderful evenings of musical theatre highlights with Musical Theatre – A History in Song, featuring numbers from the composing debut of Cole Porter to the latest Broadway sensations.

Nelson graduate and musical theatre artist Yitzin Ruiz Lopez has gathered a company of like-minded performers to take you on a journey through the history of musical theatre.

You will hear a mix of most iconic and well-known musical theatre songs and the director’s favourites.

Yitzin has been in as many musicals as possible ever since he arrived in Nelson eight years ago, and he hopes to turn his passion into his career.

This show is also his goodbye to Nelson before embarking on overseas adventures.

“Musicals are the most popular form of theatre around,” he says.

“While straight plays struggle to survive, musicals still play to near capacity houses on Broadway and the West End, even in this day and age of TV and online entertainment.

They are also favourites of school and community groups.

The 1940s are seen as the golden age of musical theatre.

The most popular jazz hits of this era were originally musical theatre songs, Yitzin says.

During the 1950s, the music of Broadway was the popular music of the entire western world.

Stoke/Nayland was the only other Nelson team to win today, with Wakatu and Waimea Toi Toi United both losing to Marlborough sides in the top-of-the-south club cricket competition.

Batting first, Wanderers put on close to 200 before bowling ACOB out with 50 runs still needed.

For Stoke/Nayland another win just adds to its stellar season that has already seen the club lock away two titles for the summer. The team put on 132 before bowling Nelson College out for 109.

At Victory Square, Wakatu lost to the Falcons from Blenheim, while WTTU lost to the Dolphins in Marlborough.

TRIATHLON: After several natural disasters, the Proper Crisps Team Triathlon got underway at Rabbit Island on Sunday on a slightly altered course.

Despite having an impressive background in combat sports, with over 11 years’ experience, Dawn was still nervous ahead the bout at Hotel Motueka.

She fought unbeaten Christchurch nurse, Megan

McLennan, at Hotel Motueka, in a specially erected outside marquee.

The fight went the distance with Dawn coming out on top in a unanimous points decision.

Although Dawn had boxed for much bigger crowds internationally, she was happy to have locals and friends in

her corner for support, including the Giants basketball team.

"You want to put on a good show for all the people forking out money to come,” she said.

Dawn initially wanted to be a basketball player but her height prevented her from pursuing her dream. Instead

Nelson runner a NZ champ The question, as Athletics Nelson’s Craig Lautenslager surged away from his closest competitor one fourth of the way through Saturday’s New Zealand 10,000m Championships in Inglewood, was not if he would win.

The question was whether he would lap the field.

Lautenslager came up a few metres short.

The second finisher was 397m behind – and settled for his first New Zealand track title in 29min51.97sec.

Lautenslager, who graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington in May and then promptly took out the New Zealand Cross Country and Half Marathon titles, stormed to the lead on a track laden with 16 male and female competitors aged 15 to 78.

He went through the first kilometre in 2min46sec and only Lake City’s Michael Voss went with him.

who breezed through 5,000m in 14min35sec.

“I paid for it in the second half of the race.”

Voss paid more dearly as he would finish more than three minutes behind Lautenslager and was lapped twice.

Lautenslager lapped some runners more than eight times, and lapped the runner-up in the seniors division, Auckland’s Jonno Jackson, with 500m remaining.

The only runner not lapped was Christchurch’s Chris Dryden, the Men’s Under 20 winner who finished in 30min59.59sec and just short of the qualifying standard for the World Junior Track and Field Championships.

Sally Gibbs of Tauranga won the senior women’s title in 36min22.10sec.

Lautenslager will compete in the 5,000m and 1,500m at the New Zealand Track and Field Championships in Hamilton, March 9-11.

Suburbs re-launched and ready for new season Andrew Board Nelson Suburbs "re-launched" its club with a new look and some new faces last weekend.

Suburbs are the region's top football club, with a team playing in the Mainland Premier League which features the top club teams from Christchurch.

Committee member Phil Williams says the re-launch was the beginning of a concerted effort to make the club more inviting and "family-friendly".

"The first part was a club rebrand and the second was to create a more social environment within the club."

Suburbs has dozens of teams in the junior grades and six senior mens and womens teams.

Phil says the new look was to give the club a "modern feel" while also returning it to the club's original colour of sky-

A new logo, apparel sponsor, major club sponsors and website have also been a part of the

re-launch.

Phil says more work to the clubrooms is to come.

"We want to make our clubrooms more inviting and create a more family-friendly club."

To help kick-off the re-launch, the club played four games at its Saxton Field base on Saturday.

A combined 1st and 2nd division team lost 4-2 to a combined Tahuna FC team.

A more social match between a combined Suburbs Rovers and Seals team easily beat a visiting Wellington side 8-1.

While the Mainland League team suffered a 2-1 loss to Cashmere Tech.

Phil says pre-season training has begun for all senior teams and anyone wanting more information about playing can visit nelsonsuburbs.co.nz.

Boating craftmanship on show boat, best jet-propelled craft and best themed display, as well as prizes for race winners.

This year, Pete and co-organiser Glenn Common will officially launch their immaculately restored racing hydroplane Elray III. Pete says that the restoration of the rotten and engineless hull discovered in Hokitika was a “mad but extremely interesting labour of love”.

“When Elray was built back in 1967 she was the fastest boat in New Zealand and featured on the cover of Seaspray magazine that year.

“What's really special is that we have the original driver, Jon Jarvie, and his wife, the daughter of the original owner Jock Appleton, coming down from Auckland to see Elray on the water.”

Judene Edgar Reporter

Hardy clinkers, classic yachts, sleek cedar kayaks, veteran jetboats and meticulous replica steamboats will all be on display at the New Zealand Antique and Classic Boatshow this weekend.

Now in its 19th year, the boatshow continues to grow in the number and quality of craft presented, as well as the number of people coming to view the boats and the action on the lake.

Last year, over 130 boats entered the two-day extravaganza.

Organiser Pete Rainey says that after eighteen years the format will stick to the “tried and true”.

“Why change when people love what we do?” he says.

Taking place at Lake Rotoiti on March 3 and 4, there will be displays on land until 1pm each day, followed by activities and races on the lake.

“The displays on the land in the morning are an opportunity to swap restoration stories and pore over the detail of the boats on dis-
