More residents to pay storm charge MAX FRETHEY

Local Democracy Reporter

The annual $330 storm recovery charge that each ratepayer will likely be facing from next year for the next 10 years could be reduced to $300. Nelson City Council has man-

aged to get the cost down by considering a different approach for who it charges. The council is proposing to charge each Separately Used or Inhabited Part (SUIP) instead of applying the charge to each rateable unit, spreading the $59.8 million storm recovery cost over

an extra 3000 units. In practice, the key change is that places like retirement villages or apartments where there are multiple homes, but a single title, would pay the charge for each effective unit. Nelson has 25,284 SUIPs compared with 22,367 separate rate-

able units. “The reason the council has refined its approach to the storm recovery rate is because we think it is fairer to spread the cost over a wider group of ratepayers,” Mayor Nick Smith says. “There is no perfectly fair approach for how we recover the

$59.8 million storm recovery cost to council, but with further advice and feedback from the community, we think getting the rate down and spreading it more widely is the better approach,” Nick adds.

Annual charge reduced; rates increase 15% FROM PAGE 1 The general rate will still apply to only each rateable unit rather than also being applied to each SUIP. The council is currently proposing an 8.2 per cent rates increase for the 2024/25 financial year. Once the storm recovery charge is factored in, that changes to an effective increase of about 15.4 per cent for the first year of the 10-year Long Term Plan. Reducing the annual charge won’t decrease the average effective rates increase but in-

stead changes where and to what degree the burden falls. Nelson City Council is expected to adopt its consultation document for the draft Long Term Plan 2024-34 in March with consultation following soon after. Residents will be able to provide feedback on dozens of suggestions, including the proposal to apply the storm recovery charge, referred to as the ‘recovery targeted rate’, across each SUIP, or the proposal to introduce the charge in the first place. More information will be available at shape.nelson.govt.nz

Toxic algae, or cyanobacteria, can release toxins when its cells are broken, creating a potentially fatal risk to dogs who are often interested in the musky smell of the algae mats. About 100 dog owners showed up to learn more about the algae’s dangers. To learn more yourself, you can visit nelson.govt.nz/toxic-algae. Photo: Max Frethey.

Community detention for attempted robbery SARA HOLLYMAN The man who attempted to rob Richmond’s Salisbury Store last year is now on community detention and must pay the victims $500 for the emotional harm he caused. Myles South was 19 when he walked into the store on the afternoon of 18 September last year, wearing a mask, dark glasses, and a hood to conceal his identity. He was arrested a month later when he was recognised by two off-duty police officers while walking through Richmond Mall. South was sentenced in the Nelson District Court last Wednesday to six months of community detention with a curfew between 8pm and 6am. He is also subject to 12 months of intensive supervision and was ordered to pay $500 in emotional harm reparation after earlier pleading guilty to a charge of demanding to steal. At the time, South’s long-term relationship had just broken down, he had recently been made redundant and debts were mounting. His lawyer Kyle Simonsen said that South had lost his way

A name denoting Nelson’s weather, a local national park, and the meaning of ‘precious’ as the plane, patients, and crew was chosen for the city’s New Zealand Flying Doctor Service plane. The air ambulance was welcomed to its Nelson Airport base with a water arch salute and a blessing by Archdeacon Emeritus, Harvey Ruru, on 15 February, and its new name, Kahurangi, was unveiled. A public competition was held for the new plane name which received about 100 submissions, and Nelsonian Naomi Johnson’s idea had soared.

“I thought that with the blue skies being Kahurangi [blue], Kahurangi National Park and then looking up the meaning of Kahurangi, the threefold message was appropriate for the naming of this precious plane,” she says. “I was surprised and thrilled [my name was chosen]… and I hope that the plane has safe flights and looks after its precious cargo in every journey it takes.” Harvey Ruru also noted the name Kahurangi was significant because it’s also a rare blue gemstone, and indicated the “treasured possessions” at Kahurangi National Park. “The Flying Doctor Service

look after this beautiful possession and the taonga that it is,” he says. Kahurangi is a $3 million Beechcraft Super King Air B200 air ambulance and is the newest aeromedical plane in the New Zealand Flying Doctor Service fleet, which has two other Christchurch-based Beechcraft Super King Air B200C planes. The Nelson service will enable patients to be transported from the area to larger hospitals for treatment. To the end of June 2023, the New Zealand Flying Doctor Service completed 1276 missions across New Zealand with just over 50 per cent of them from Nelson.

Whareama site deconstruction Deconstruction of the former Whareama Rest Home and Hospital in Stoke is expected to start during February. The site at 81 Neale Ave is set to be developed into 26 new public homes. Kāinga Ora - Homes and Communities entered a conditional contract with Redwood Property Group in mid-2023 to purchase the homes once they are completed. Julia Campbell, regional director for Nelson, Marlborough and West Coast, says the developer received resource consent in late January and deconstruction of the existing buildings is imminent.

Summer Sing Fest returns The ultimate sing-along is coming to Nelson this weekend. The Summer Sing Fest features a range of Nelson Tasman’s community choirs, and will be held on Saturday, 24 February, at the 1903 Square and Kirby Lane from 10am - 3pm.

Organiser Lucy Rainey, chair of the New Zealand Choral Federation Nelson/Marlborough, says audiences can expect a “colourful and diverse” programme of music throughout the day. “It is a free family-friendly event where over 10 of our fabulous community choirs will be performing. Each choir will sing for half an hour.”

Glider death Nelson Lakes A person has died after a glider crashed at Lake Station Airstrip, Howard, near St Arnaud on Sunday. Emergency services responded to a report of an incident involving a light aircraft about 2pm. A police spokesperson said the aircraft crashed on the runway and the occupant passed away at the scene. A scene examination has taken place, and the Civil Aviation Authority has been advised. A Hato Hone St John spokesperson said they responded with one first-response unit and one helicopter but were not required for transport.

Most speeds could drop under proposal option MAX FRETHEY

Local Democracy Reporter

Just over a week remains for Nelson Tasman residents to have their say on how they want speed limits to change across the region. More than 1100 people have submitted, but more responses are being sought as the potential changes will affect everyone. Of the current respondents, about 63 per cent are Tasman residents while the other 37 per cent are Nelsonians. A range of four different options are being consulted on – the most significant of which would see most urban roads drop to 30kmh and the end of almost all 100kmh limits in the countryside. The lower speed limit options for urban and rural areas are the ‘Safe and Appropriate Speeds’ identified by Waka Kotahi – New Zealand Transport Agency. These lower speeds would see the main connector roads in urban areas – for example Waimea Road in Nelson, Salisbury Road in Richmond, and Tudor Street in Motueka – drop down to 40kmh unless cycleways separated by a physical barrier were present, allowing them to remain at 50kmh. All other urban roads would drop to 30kmh. The lower speed options in rural areas would see 100kmh local roads disappear. The speed outside rural schools would be lowered to 30-60kmh, rural residential areas would fall to 50kmh, most narrow, winding, unsealed, and high-risk roads would fall to 60kmh, leaving all other sealed rural roads to fall to 80kmh. Existing speed limits lower than the proposed reduction will

remain. The higher speed limit options would see no reductions except for in areas around schools. Speeds on State Highways will go through their own process which is expected to occur in the near future. The expected maximum cost of lowering speed limits across both districts, accounting for both signs and supporting infrastructure, is about $21.5 million. The review of speed limits was enacted by Labour Government. The new National-led Government has overturned the requirement and opposes blanket speed limit reductions. However, the Nelson and Tasman councils are continuing to ask for public feedback to determine whether there are specific areas that need to see speed limit reductions. Several local rural communities, like those in Ngātīmoti, Lower Moutere, Tasman village, Tapawera, and Cable Bay, have indicated they want to see lower speeds through their areas, and it is hoped the consultation will reveal other locations where people are calling for reductions. Lower speed limits reduce both the likelihood and severity of crashes. Pedestrians hit by a car driving at 60kmh has a 95 per cent chance of dying. That risk drops to 10 per cent if the vehicle is going at 30kmh. Reduced speed limits on State Highway 6 between Nelson and Blenheim and on State Highway 60 in Appleby have also reduced the number of serious crashes, including those resulting in death, of about 94 per cent and

67 per cent respectively. However, reduced speed limits are likely to result in increased travel times depending on distance travelled on affected roads. Surveys by Waka Kotahi in 2017 indicated a 20 per cent reduction in speed limits in rural areas saw travel time increase by about 5 to 8 minutes per hour of travel, but reduced fuel consumption by up to 15 per cent. Submissions will close on 29 February. To have your say or to learn more, you can visit shape.tasman. govt.nz/speed-review.

Option D

Revitalising our CBD There has been debate in recent years about how we revitalise inner city Nelson. There is a growing consensus emerging that we need to build up in inner city Nelson. This debate has occurred through the ‘What if Whakatū Nelson…?’ project, and Nelson City Council’s Plan Change 29.

Building up means more warm, dry homes in our city, but it will also have a positive impact on our city centre. People living and working in the CBD will revitalise our city and drive investment into our hospitality sector. Business have told me that affordable housing is a barrier to recruiting young graduates, and inner-city apartments will provide more housing options for international students who come to Nelson to study. The Labour Government granted $36 million from the Infrastructure Acceleration Fund to Nelson City Council in 2022, to upgrade water and transport infrastructure, and enable 1000 new homes in the city centre. This was a highly competitive fund, and Nelson was lucky to have secured this investment that will allow us to unlock housing in the city centre.

Once a month Nelson Weekly has a yarn and some lunch with an interesting Nelsonian doing something interesting. This week journalist Kate Russell chats with Aidan Woodward, Nelson’s very own contestant on The Great Kiwi Bake Off, at Culture Beer House. The electrician at On It Electrical and registered nurse at Manuka St Hospital has survived the first four weeks on the show and is now amongst the final six contestants. The Great Kiwi Bake Off is on TV1 on Thursday nights at 7.30pm and also streams on TVNZ+. Q: How long have you been baking?

nel any nervous excitement into something positive - which usually ended up with me trying to have a good time, have a laugh and relax. That’s generally how I go through life, I don’t take myself too seriously, but I take what I do seriously.

A: I probably started baking when I was six or seven. As long as I could stand up at the bench or perched up on a chair and drive a wooden spoon, I could bake something. But it’s like anything - I started off small and it grew from there.

Q: What is it like watching yourself on TV?

Q: What inspired you to apply to be on the show?

A: Back in 2012 I applied to be on The Great British Bake Off. I was short-listed for that and almost made it in - but I didn’t, so I dwelled on that for a better part of a decade. When the opportunity arose for this my other half said, ‘Why don’t you give it a go?’ Before I knew it, I was being contacted to participate. Q: What was it like being on set?

A: Each episode was filmed over two days, and they were quite long days, some of them were 14 hours of filming. The whole thing was filmed over a total of three weeks. There were more cameras

than I thought, and it was quite a science how they would dance around and never get in anyone’s shot when they were filming other things. Q: If you could only eat one baked good for the rest of your life, what would it be?

A: If I had to name one thing it would probably be a really nice homemade hot cross bun, lots of butter, gently toasted. Q: What is one thing in your kitchen that you can’t live

without? A: I know it sounds a bit random, but probably my whisk. I’ve had it for donkey’s years, some of the wires have broken off it and it’s seen better days, but I refuse to give it away. As long as it keeps whisking, I’ll keep using it. Q: Were you nervous before filming and how did you calm your nerves?

A: I wouldn’t say it was so much nerves, just excitement. For me, I would turn up and try to chan-

A: It is a little bit strange as half the time you can’t remember what you said. It’s more amusing than anything else and haven’t done anything marriage-ending just yet. It’s always a bit of a buzz on a Thursday to sit down and relive the adventure. Q: Has it been hard not being able to tell people the final outcome?

A: It has, it was filmed last June so everyone’s had to keep their beaks buttoned since then. The challenge is trying to not let anything slip. It’s been especially hard at the hospital as there are a lot of excited individuals who are very caught up in it and want to know everything.

Tavendale and Partners is making one of Nelson’s oldest buildings home

National law firm Tavendale and Partners (Incorporating Isherwood Le Gros) is making one of Nelson’s oldest buildings home. The firm took up residence in Alton House 94 Nile Street, Nelson, on Monday 19 February. Alton House was originally the home of entrepreneurial Nelson grocer and wine and spirit merchant Henry Hounsell, and thereafter early feminist and philanthropist Mary Gibbs and son Frederick Gibbs – Headmaster at Nelson Central School for Boys from 1893 to 1923 and the formidable force behind the success of the Suter Gallery, the Nelson Institute and most notably the Nelson School of Music. Managing Partner Mark Tavendale says Alton House embodies the very essence of the entre-

preneurial spirit and sense of community that defines the Tasman-Marlborough region. “We are both honored and excited to take over the mantle of guardianship for Alton House and to continue its association with fresh thinking, new ideas and ultimately the success of business and of the wider community,” says Tavendale. Tavendale and Partners merged with local firm Isherwood Le Gros in April 2023, bringing specialist legal expertise in agribusiness, forestry, resource management and employment to complement Isherwood Le Gros’ longstanding commercial - including overseas investment property, trust and personal law practice.

Young seafarer to dive into triathlon GORDON PREECE

Weet Bix Kids TRYathlon on 10 March. “It has always been a focus of ours as parents to make sure our kids can swim well, and it’s gone a whole other level now that we’re living on a boat because it’s a necessary skill,, “Quite often we’re anchored maybe 100 metres offshore in quite deep water, and the kids have become comfortable with just swimming off the back of the boat… and swim to shore. “Both of his sisters have done triathlons when they were little and Alex use to come and watch, and he always wanted to do it, and he’s finally big enough to do it himself.”

Nelson’s Eagle family have lived a life for the past two years that many thalassophiles would envy. The eldest son, Alex, 8, lives with his parents, two older sisters and younger brother on a 57ft vessel in the Marlborough Sounds, and the family also split their time between Nelson and Wellington. Alex has become a masterstroke of swimming since living on the sea, and his father David says Alex wanted to take the plunge and follow in his sisters’ footsteps by competing at the upcoming Nelson

“In his first year at school we didn’t really have an appreciation of Alex’s competitiveness, and then at the school cross country he won the race, and he was so far ahead that it was quite surprising,” he says. “By the third kid you’re quite busy and the third kid doesn’t get that much exposure to some of things the first and second kids get to, so it was quite an interesting realisation that Alex was a really good athlete.” David says Alex was “really keen” for his first Weet Bix TRYathlon to apply his enthusiasm for the disciplines, and it could present another stroke of luck on his sporting pathway.

NEW TO RICHMOND - PERKYPECHE

ALEXANDRA KONITZ A Nelson artist says she could never have made it as a professional artist without having an online community. Alice Snow makes art that is a bit different to what others might expect. She describes her style as cartoony, colorful, and “very weird”, and says “it can be inappropriate sometimes”. As her art is unique, featuring anthropomorphised foods and objects, colourful bugs with funky faces and people with toothbrushes as hair, people react differently to her pieces. “You get a lot of people who are shocked, you get a lot of people who laugh, it depends on the piece,” Alice explains. While loving art since kindergarten, it wasn’t until high school that she started to take it more seriously. “I got to design a kids’ schoolbook, which was like a picture book with fairies, and I think that’s how I got into the style of a bit more cartoony and it

felt a lot more creative to me,” Alice says. Her inspiration comes from things she sees in daily life and believes are interesting. But something that always brings her inspiration is the book ‘The Cabinet of Natural Curiosities’ by Albertus Seba, which had a lot of influence on her artwork in general. While her art has been sold all over the world, a piece about gastroschisis she created as part of a series on children with rare conditions that ended up in a hospital in the United States is her favourite location, she says. “I wanted to normalise it a bit, and a hospital in the states that specialises in treating children with this condition bought it and hung it up in their hospital.” Some of her art is currently displayed in Nelson at the Free House and Godzillas and in Wellington at Bizarre Bazaar, but most of her artwork sells online. The majority of her art goes overseas, mostly to the

United States and especially California. Only a small percentage of the sales are made in New Zealand. Alice says she is only able to make a living because of platforms like Etsy, a website where artists and crafty people can sell their handmade works online. She believes that relying solely on Nelson’s sales would make it impossible for her to be a professional artist, especially with her unconventional style. “I am really lucky that I can make a living here, but it is hard sometimes,” she says. “I find it kind of hard to get your foot in the door with galleries and Nelson locals.” She wishes that the art scene in Nelson could be a bit more diverse and have a bigger range and directions of art. “There needs to be more diversity and more things happening, like more support for artists.” In the future, Alice says her goal is to have a solo exhibition at a gallery, in a bigger city, or maybe even overseas. With over 300 cars registered and more than 4000 people through the gates, this year’s edition of the Moutere Hop grew to new heights. Organiser Shane Kemp says he’s very happy after a “big day”.

Sheila signs off the Spirit SARA HOLLYMAN A woman who has devoted much of her life to helping young people succeed is stepping back from her role with the Spirit of Adventure Trust. Motueka-based Sheila Budgen has spent more than 1000 days at sea on the Spirit of New Zealand over the better part of three decades. Her efforts were celebrated with a morning tea when the ship docked in Nelson last Friday. Her husband Chris lovingly says it’s been the great pleasure of his life to be married to Sheila and a widow to the ship. Sheila’s passion for the trust, and

what they do, was born when her daughter Nicola sailed a voyage in 1985. Sheila then became involved as a volunteer and has since created a local trust, Spirit of Tasman Bay, to help fund local youth to be able to sail on the Spirit of New Zealand. Since then, three of Sheila’s four children and seven of her eight grandchildren, have sailed on the ship. Sheila’s children speak of their mother going into ‘Spirit Mode’ when she was around the ship, and they recall having Christmas Day lunch on the ship while Sheila was on watch. Last Friday, crew members affec-

tionately described Sheila, who is known by most on-board as ‘Grandma’, as a “superhuman” with a heart for young people who is someone who “makes everything that little bit better”. Sheila usually arrives for a voyage with jars of lemon honey and her famous tiramisu, and a hand-made ‘quillow’ – a quilted bedspread made for the ship beds that folds down into a pillow, for each new crew member. She learnt te reo Māori to encourage and inspire youth to share their mihi, which she noticed some were too nervous to do. She regularly opens up her home for any crew or students who need a bed.

Spirit of Adventure Trust head of philanthropy and fundraising, Nicola Garland, said at the celebration that they had tried to work out exactly how many voyages Sheila had made. “This woman has done around 80 ten-day voyages and countless day-trips which have added up to well over 1000 days at sea,” recalls Nicola. “And that’s not to mention the hours on board, the port contact, the fundraising, the advocating, roping the family in, the list goes on.” Sheila says youth seemed to gravitate towards her as the ‘Grandma’ figure and share their stories with her, both good and bad.

“Even the ones you don’t think you’ve had an effect on whatsoever, you just don’t know what impact you’ve had on their lives at all. It’s always the same, you don’t know what a few words to somebody in any situation is going to be like to change their lives and do things. I think that’s the magic about this is you can just take people off to sea, take their phones off them and talk to them and interact with them.” The crew finished the thanks to Sheila with one of her favourite sayings: “‘Ageing is inevitable, growing up is optional’, we hope you never grow up Grandma.”

Summer series more than just a movie KATE RUSSELL For Antony Hodgson, Summer Movies al Fresco isn’t just about watching a good film outdoors it’s about bringing communities together. The organiser of the popular summer series has been bringing outdoor movies to Nelson and Tasman’s parks and reserves since 2002, and in recent years has been collaborating with local community groups. “Sharing food, watching a mov-

ie, kids playing - connections are being made and that’s something we need more of in our communities,” says Antony. “It’s about creating a village and building those links.” This summer has seen 24 screenings around the district, with the series now heading into its final week of the season. Venues have stretched from The Stoke Youth Park, where Whanake Youth were actively involved in the movie selection, to Decks Reserve in Motueka.

Brightwater Village Green will host Paddington 2 at 8.30pm this Friday, and Antony says the event is very much a community initiative that follows on from a successful screening of Paddington last year. “The Brightwater Community Association reached out last year for a movie to help raise funds for their BMX track.” It was so popular that 230 people packed out the village green. “It was the highest number we had to a screening last year.”

This year they will run raffles and a BBQ, and the koha collected for the screening will stay in Brightwater to be spent on community initiatives. Another community-driven film will be showing this Saturday, 8.30pm at Washbourne Gardens in Richmond. “I had a request from a representative of the Richmond Indian Community if we would provide an India-focused night, and she had chosen a Bollywood film called Chak De! India,” Antony

says. “It’s very funny, intense, and insightful with on-point political content exploring women’s equity issues, ethnicity issues, and some seriously good hockey footage. We’ll have English subtitles on so this is a movie night for everyone.” Indian foodstalls and music will also be on offer from 6pm. All movies are koha entry, for more information go to www.nelson.govt.nz and search ‘Summer Movies al Fresco’

Plugging ‘critical gap’ in cycling network How about plugging the critical gaps with the roading infrastructure? Will Ie Sorry, I disagree with Bevan. I love to cycle and I use a car and I think the future is separate speed corridors rather than trying to make all firms of transport ‘share and care’. That is the way to more accidents IMHO. We now have e-scooters and e-bikes going the same speed as cars and motorised scooters. The rules are lagging behind re helmets/ speeds and where

they can go. It is getting complex when a scooter suddenly appears off the pavement and is on the road. Separate speed corridors would be a real forward thinking step. Slow for dog walkers, toddlers on balance bikes and push scooters. Medium for e-bikes, mobility scooters over a certain power, e-scooters, and fast for road. If you pedal as fast as a car why not on the road but safely? The mix of transport types and speeds, plus the lack of new and clear legislation on personal e-transport, is causing more accidents. I would hope they are monitoring the accidents and if they increase in Tasman/Nelson with the new cycle lanes etc. Janet Ellison The majority of roads in Nelson can barely accommodate sufficient traffic lanes let alone individual speed lanes, or cycle lanes for that matter. This desire to remove much needed carparks to facilitate cycle lanes doesn’t push people on to a bike or public transport, it just forces them out in to surrounding areas. The outlying residential streets will be clogged with cars that would normally be parked closer to their destination. Bryan Hemi

Nelson Matters Hon Dr Nick Smith

FIRE RISK REQUIRES VIGILANCE Our region is approaching the level of fire risk of February 2019 when we saw the major blazes in Pigeon Valley, Rabbit Island and on Atawhai’s hills. I ask all Nelsonians to be extra vigilant in supporting Fire and Emergency NZ to help us avoid another disastrous blaze in coming weeks. The fire warnings started in November when the El Nino weather pattern emerged. The problem is not just the recent hot, dry conditions but the volume of fuel available from the good growing conditions in spring and early summer. We had our own blaze in the Lee Valley in the first week of February, Christchurch had another major fire on the Port Hills last week and North Canterbury firefighters are battling a major blaze in Waikari Valley this week. No significant rain is forecast for some weeks, and if the hot, dry conditions continue, the risks will increase. Firstly, we need people to comply with the prohibited fire season declared last Saturday, covering the Coastal, Waimea and Nelson North zones. We also ask people to respect the high-risk areas that have been closed by Council, Tasman Pine Forests Ltd and One Forty One New Zealand. The 2019 Pigeon Valley fire was sparked by an agricultural contractor ploughing a paddock with discs. The blaze this month in the Lee Valley began when a dislodged load on a trailer ignited roadside grass and then spread to the adjacent forestry. These illustrate how easily a fire can start. Greatest caution is needed during the hottest period of the day and during windy conditions. Jobs such as mowing the lawn should be done when it’s cooler and when there is still a morning dew. Buildings should be defended by clearing the surrounding flammable material with a nylon line trimmer. The greatest fire risk is in the peri-urban areas around Nelson. We need households in areas such as the Brook, Maitai and Atawhai to take extra precautions. This should include families preparing an evacuation plan in case of fire. Let’s heed the warnings and do all we can to support our local firefighters.

A community open day for one of the regions fastest'-growing hop farms Nestled against a stunning National Park backdrop, the team at Nelson Lakes Hops are a busy hive of activity with their innovative and forward-thinking ideas well and truly securing their place in the hop industry. Nelson Lakes Hops is a kiwi business backed by kiwi investors who are passionate about making the most of our region and the plethora of opportunities available within it. Karamea-born general manager, Jason Johnson, explains his journey and how the business came to fruition. “I completed my schooling in Nelson before making the move to Christchurch.

“After some time working and studying there, I moved back to Nelson and started working in the horticulture industry, firstly in apples and kiwifruit then boysenberries for 18 years. I worked my way up through the ranks, completing a double cadetship as well as extramural horticulture management papers.” Transferring to the hop industry in 2012, Jason managed what was then New Zealand’s largest hop farm in Motueka. “The farm was bought by the NZ Super Fund in 2019. After managing NZ Super’s Nelson horticulture for a couple of years, this opportunity here

in the Matakitaki valley arose.” Having spent time in the region as a Nelson College student, Jason says the opportunity to combine his rural roots and love of the native NZ landscape with his passion in growing Hops, was too good to pass up. “How could I walk away! The difference from other horticultural crops is the passion of our brewer customers and the look on their faces when they come to the farm and see the farm framed by the mountains of the Nelson Lakes National Park, it is fun to watch!” Jason says the journey of Nelson Lakes Hops to date has been fast paced, but very thoughtful. “We are owned by a group of New Zealand investors and operationally

it is run from a farm located at the head of the Tutaki Valley, on the Matakitaki River. While looking for investment opportunities, New Zealand’s reputation as the leading world hop producer became apparent. The search for the ideal location to base this venture took longer, with many regions considered. Mount Ella Station, a 3000 head dairy farm, was for

sale, and after analysing climate data and consulting with experts, the flats were purchased. The climate proved to be very similar to the main growing area in the USA with a similar altitude, good winter chilling and summer heat, as well as an abundance of irrigation water. The other exciting thing is the unique terroir of our hops compared with the rest of New

Zealand. We are finding more punch in the aromas from some varieties grown up here.” Nelson Lakes Hops currently employs 18 permanent staff members at the site. “We have four vehicles bringing staff up the valley each day from Murchison. It is a great team of people working up here, learning a whole raft of new skills from fencing and construction to nursery production and plant health monitoring. We also employ up to 40 seasonal workers for different growing tasks. These numbers will grow as we plant more area. At this stage we are about a third of the way through our development with another three to four years of planting to go. When fully developed and complete we will by far be the biggest single hop farm in New Zealand, three times the size of the current largest hop garden,

and boast 30% of the total area of hops grown in NZ.” In keeping with the ethos of their business, the team at Nelson Lakes Hops continue to support local to the greatest extent, Jason explains, “We try to use as many local suppliers and contractors as possible to grow skills and infrastructure for our ongoing needs as well as keeping as much investment money in the region as possible. Everyone who has been involved has been great to deal with. The support from the wider community has been fantastic and has enabled us to continue growing our business in the way we intended.” The business collaborates with another local grower based in Upper Moutere, Freestyle Hops. “We are a separate company but have a very close relationship,” says Jason. “Partnering with them was an instrumental part of undertaking this project. The advice and

technical support they have provided has been critical to the success of our operation here. They handle cool storing and further processing of the dried hop bales we send them. Global marketing of our product is also undertaken by Freestyle Hops.” Welcoming the public to visit the site and get a real feel of the scale of operations, Nelson Lakes Hops are holding an Open Day on Sunday, February 25, from 2pm. “This is so members of the wider community can come up and have a look at the development and see what we have been doing for the last two and a half years. There will be a BBQ and refreshments available, along with a tour of the facilities and information about the project.”

Brand-new track reduces home-field advantage JACK MALCOLM Rae Morrison cannot wait to defend her maiden National Enduro title as the event returns to her backyard for a second year. After taking out the top step alongside fellow Nelson riders George Swift and Lou Kelly for an all-local podium last year, Rae says she feels the pressure of being a favourite coming into the race day on March 3 at Cable Bay Adventure Park. “There are so many fast women and girls coming up through the ranks, and they’re definitely biting at my heels. It’s not a race I can slack off or cruise. I’m a favourite, but I’ll have to fight for it. “If I have a good day on the

bike and I have no mechanicals (breakdowns), it should be in my favour.” But while local knowledge will play an advantage, with Rae riding at Cable Bay at least once a week in preparation, she says there’ll still be surprises in store. Not only can an over-familiarity get you stuck in the wrong way of doing things as weather or course conditions change, but a brandnew track has been specially built for the event. With its grand opening on the first day of practice on Friday, March 1, the 200 entered riders will have just two days to try and master the trail and the event’s five other stages before elite racing starts from 9am on Sunday.

And with another 60 juniors tackling the tracks on Saturday from 1pm, organisers are keen for locals to get in behind their favourite racers. Alongside all the thrills and spills from an extremely strong field of competitors in both the men’s and women’s categories, one of the things that draws Rae to the sport is that nobody is going to have a perfect day on the bike. “You have to be a lot more adaptable. You can’t memorise a track. “I quite like that if you do make a mistake, there are more stages and more time to be able to make it up.” And while Rae’s training focus is on being at her peak for the upcoming European race season,

Premier cricket enters business end JACK MALCOLM It was a weekend of high scoring action in local premier grade cricket as teams fought for their spot in the one-day finals. The lowest score of the weekend was 204 runs as every team had nail-biting finishes to their games on Saturday. At the Botanics, Nelson College came out trumps over ACOB with a last wicket stand of 39 runs by George Aerakis (41*) and Charlie Wilson (27*) to get over the line in the final over. In a top, of the table clash at Marsden Recreation, Stoke-Nayland fell 40 runs

short of the Wolves (Motueka/Wanderers) 265/7, using every ball of their 50 overs in chase after a massive 121 run innings from Joseph O’Connor in the first innings. Wakatu won by one wicket at the death over WTTU at Jubilee Park, with a 40-run last wicket partnership by Aidan Clark (25*) and Noah Hassan (20*) as they chased 244/7. With seven half centuries and Joseph’s century, it was the best weekend for batsmen of the summer. At the bowler’s end, Nelson College’s Charlie Wilson and WTTU’s Paul Elmiger were the best of the bunch with

four wickets apiece as six local bowlers picked up three wicket bags or better. With three rounds of oneday competition left in the season before the finals on Saturday and Sunday, March 23 and 24, there’s still a chance for things to change on the leaderboards. The Wolves have all but guaranteed their spot in the weekend with a perfect seven win record, but can still be upset from the top spot. With the result not going their way over the weekend, Stoke-Nayland can still advance straight to the finals but will have to rely on results going their way if they

want the direct path. Wakatu are third on the table with four wins, but with a 2v3 semi-final they are still squarely in the hunt of their first title of the season. ACOB and WTTU are on two wins apiece and remain outside chances of playing on finals weekend if other results also go their way, while Nelson College are out of the hunt despite earning their first one-day win of the season over the weekend. In the two-day competition, the finalists have been found as Stoke-Nayland and the Wolves are set to take the field at Saxton Oval on March 16 and 17.

Nelson Walking Football played host to the country’s first ‘trans-Tasman friendly’ over the weekend as part of their International Festival. With two teams from Australia and one from Christchurch alongside three local squads, it was a celebration of how far the sport has come in recent years. Saturday saw the teams play in a round-robin competition, with the local Nelson teams picking up first, second and third places, while Sunday saw the Walking Football Nations Cup.

With the oldest competitor over the weekend 76-years-young, the sport has been steadily growing as an alternative way to enjoy the beautiful game. ard Bateman who will head to Christchurch on 2 March for the annual State of Origin to compete against other South Island teams. Their two biggest rivals will be the Canterbury Cobra’s and Dunedin Bulldogs, both teams will not be easy to beat.

number of tracks in a short space of time, which is important to me as a busy mum. Nelson is ideal for biking; in terms of our weather and proximity to everything.” Sunshine. Exercise. Good for the environment. Fewer cars on roads. Endorphins. The benefits of owning an E-bike are endless.

Valued Team brings Wealth of Experience

Three years ago, Brendon and Rochelle Mathews first opened The Bike Station in central Nelson and today the vibrant, expanding business has fantastic stock and a passionate, experienced team. Rochelle says contrary to what some may think, Ebikes aren’t a lazy option. “Ours are pedal-electric, so you still have to pedal but you get assistance as

you need it, so they’re suited to anyone, including those with a medical condition. “Using an E-bike allows me to get uphill quickly and ride for longer. They’re great enablers. I can do a

Staff are a massive part of The Bike Station. “Without them, we wouldn’t be here today,” Rochelle says. From the outset, Brendon and Rochelle have been focussed on having high-quality staff and, because they all have significant experience with bikes, the couple have 100% faith in their ability to provide fantastic service. Yohann, who is from the UK, says, “It’s been useful to experience how bike shops operate in other countries, including New Zealand. I picked Nelson because of its awesome mountainbiking trails and The Bike Station had cool brands, a nice workshop and it’s a great place to work.” Meanwhile, two-time national track cycling champion and national record

holder Kaio, loves working at The Bike Station while teaching young bike enthusiasts (in schools) how to ride and it helps build up the local junior base. Hunter, who has recently left college has been working fulltime at the store since November last year. “I’ve done a lot of mountainbike racing, so my passion has inspired me to work here as a bike mechanic and be part of the mountainbiking community. It’s an awesome business and getting to work on bikes all day long is great.” Lindsay, who has been with The Bike Station for just under two years, says he had been looking to get back into the bike industry as a mechanic after a stint in Whistler, Canada. “This is a nice place to work; a good bunch of guys. They have the same kind of passion that I have for mountainbiking, so it’s a no-brainer really.” Finally, Sam began working for the business in December after moving from Auckland. “I started as a customer and ended up working here; I love the team; we all get on well. It’s always a good sign of a great workplace

The months turn to years and now it is two. One thing is for certain we all really miss you. You showed us to look on the bright side ,have fun and to laugh. Give anything a go don’t do it by half. Non of us know how far our lifes down the track. Don’t waste your days you won’t get them back. Its alright to be silly ,dance and sing loud. If you enjoy it and stand out from the crowd. Don’t loose that inner child its not just for the young. Its still good to be a much older one. With cream and jam on a scone with a drink. I use this moment to remember and think. The memories are vivid as I roll through the years. A smile on my face no sadness or tears. For your life may have finished and mine still to come. From deep in my heart I will always love you Mum.
