Driving behaviour gone downhill ANNE HARDIE About 12,000 vehicles are driven along the busiest sections of the Coastal Highway every day and accidents happen which are often due to driving behaviour, says the chair of the Automobile Association’s (AA) Nelson District. Richard Popenhagen says driving

behaviour has deteriorated on Tasman’s busy roads in the past few years and there is a strong case for more driver education. He says many of the accidents occurring on the busy road can be attributed to impaired driving, distraction, or driving behaviour such as tailgating or using a cellphone, which he says is “as bad as

driving drunk”. The road can be driven safely though, he says. “Tens of thousands of people drive that road every week and don’t have crashes. The country as a whole in the last few years seems to be more aggressive and wound up. There’s more frustration and less tolerance. We need

to calm down a little and give fellow motorists a bit more space. It only makes a 30 second difference. “We see people venting on social media and it’s like a sense of entitlement that we need a straight run on a piece of road.” He says driving licences are not a right, but a privilege that comes

with responsibility. He points out that mistakes can happen and the causes for two accidents last week near Māpua are still being investigated. One person died in the second accident on State Highway 60 (Coastal Highway) at the Māpua

Dental subsidy puts a smile on faces ANNE HARDIE The Government’s $1000-a-year dental subsidy for beneficiaries is putting a confident smile on their face that will help them get jobs, says a Richmond dentist. New Zealand Dental Association’s Nelson-Tasman secretary and Tasman Dental Centre Ben Simmons is all about creating a “beautiful confident smile” for his patients and in the past year he has been able to make that a reality for beneficiaries. Since the end of 2022, beneficiaries have been able to get up to $1,000 worth of dental care each year and Ben says it has been transformative for many people. “There were people who were losing their

Dental subsidy puts a smile on faces FROM PAGE 1 teeth and becoming less employable. It affects their confidence and also the confidence of other people in them in terms of employment.” Older people in particular can have teeth that start to collapse, or their teeth began to rot out, though many of his patients using the subsidy are beneficiaries in their late 20s who have not been to a dentist since they left the free dental-care days of school. Many beneficiaries often had more dental problems because then tended to not look after themselves well, he says, which often led to them developing a “whole mouthful of holes”. At $1000, Ben says dentists can get

a lot of work done on a patient and plan for more work when they are recalled a year later. “It’s a feel-good thing when you can muck in there and do a good job.” Kay Guyton, who supports people in need and ran the former charity Angel in my Street, gives beneficiaries advice about the subsidy so they can get long overdue dental work and she says many still do not know it is available. She says dental work can make a huge difference to confidence. “A lot of them put their hands over their face because they don’t want people to see their smile. Then they get their teeth done and I can take them to job interviews. It leads to a better quality of life.”

Driving behaviour gone downhill FROM PAGE 1 Dr intersection. Mistakes make a case for improving aspects of the highway where there are safety concerns, he says. As busy as the road is now, he says, traffic volumes increase and in freight alone volumes in the South Island are expected to increase by 40 percent in the next decade and SH60 will get its share of that. Local perception is that traffic volume has increased rapidly in the past few years, but Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency figures show it has stayed reasonably static. The annual average daily traffic count in 2022 -which are the most recent figures – was 11,886 vehicles at the Appleby Bridge and 11,998 at the Re-

search Orchard Rd intersection. Numbers dropped beyond Mapua to 7,182 on the Ruby Bay Bypass. Five years earlier, vehicle numbers were much the same. Jump back even further to 2012 though and the Appleby Bridge had 6,736 vehicles passing over it every day, while Research Orchard Rd intersection had 8,910 and the Ruby Bay Bypass just 4,738 vehicles. Traffic numbers have increased, but system manager for Top of the South, Rob Service, says the road has not been a static piece of infrastructure over the years. In the 1990s there were a series of works carried out along the route involving upgrades and realignments, and then the Ruby Bay Bypass which was completed in 2012.

Richard says the AA Research Foundation found the bypass reduced deaths and serious injuries by 40 percent in the nine years following its completion - including the bypass and former road - compared to the nine years prior its construction. That bypass is about to get new side and median barriers installed between Dominion Rd and Harley Rd intersections. As well as upgrades, in 2018 Waka Kotahi and Tasman District Council lowered speeds on the highway between Richmond and Maisey Rd, as well as nine neighbouring local roads, to improve safety. Between 2008 and 2018, eight people were killed and 24 seriously injured on that stretch of road.

Waimea Plains needs water upgrade MAX FRETHEY

Local Democracy Reporter

Last week’s severe water restrictions for Brightwater and Wakefield would not have been solved by the Waimea Community Dam, but it enables a $40 million upgrade which is expected to be the solution. Last Thursday’s restriction saw Tasman District Council ask the two towns to limit water use to essential use only. Wakefield’s water treatment plant had not been in operation after discoloured water in one of its wells was being tested for contaminants. The ageing pumps in Brightwater helped supplement Wakefield’s supply while the town’s facilities were offline. However, two of the three pumps eventually overheated after extended use, resulting in the loss of 72,000 litres of water an hour. A Facebook post alerting residents of the restrictions saw a slew of critical comments. “Ratepayers spent millions on building the dam and we are still on restrictions,” said one resident. “Guess they should have replaced the treatment plants between 2018 and 2020 like they were supposed to,” said another. Council’s group manager com-

munity infrastructure, Richard Kirby, says that the water from the Waimea Community Dam doesn’t directly supply urban areas with water. “It just increases the [river] flow… so that people can take more water, whether it’s out of an aquifer or out of a direct pump. That’s what it’s about.” The Waimea Plains’ water is drawn from aquifers. Water released from the dam brings up the water level of the river, ensuring there is enough water in aquifers to draw from. Last week’s restrictions were caused by the dual issues of being unable to draw water from Wakefield due to contamination concerns or from Brightwater where the pumps overheated, rather than an availability of water within the aquifers. Though Brightwater’s pumps were back to full operation by Saturday, the area’s need for a water supply upgrade has been clearly demonstrated. Waters and waste manager, Mike Schruer, says major water upgrades in Wakefield and Brightwater have been pushed back over the last few years as the council developed a plan to consolidate Waimea South’s water infrastructure, a move that is expected to save millions of dollars. Currently, Brightwater, Wakefield, and Eighty-Eight Valley are ser-

viced by six different facilities, a pump station and treatment plant each. The Waimea Plains Water Plan aims to consolidate these facilities over the next 3-5 years, upgrading them in the process, so the entire area is served by just one pump station and treatment plant, though elected members may still decide to bring the work forward to reduce the risk of similar events occurring in the future. The upgrade is expected to cost about $40 million, but upgrading the water infrastructure in each location separately could have cost up to 70 per cent, or $28m, more. Having just the two facilities also reduces the maintenance, reporting, and monitoring costs. “That’s where the big saving is, the operational costs going forward,” Mike says. “Far more cost-effective, more efficient, and better resilience in being able to share the water.” Brightwater and Wakefield are now back in Phase B water restrictions so residents can’t water the lawn, fill pools, or use water for play. Watering vegetable gardens and fruit trees, as well as outdoor washing, can still be done, but only using timed watering systems or by hand with a hose. Watering decorative plants can only be done every second day.

The Waimea Community Dam will help keep aquifers full, but last week’s restrictions were sparked by water pump issues. Photo: Waimea Water Ltd.

Pulling the wool over Tapawera ELOISE MARTYN Tapawera will be buzzing again this weekend with sheep shearers coming together from across the Top of the South and as far as Kaikōura and Canterbury to compete in the annual Tapawera Speed Shear competition. Last year the competition drew a big crowd with the annual Music in the Mountains event being held at the same time. “Last year people were really entertained, and many people said what a good day it was,” event organiser and local sheep and beef farmer Kerry Irvine says. Kerry will once again take the stage as a competitor in several sections on Saturday. He says sheep shearing competitions are very competitive which makes for interesting watching. Judges assess the quality of the shearing, looking for clean and well-finished work, so it’s not all about speed. Speed is a main factor, but shearers must balance speed with precision to avoid any nicks or cuts that could harm the sheep or affect the quality of the wool. And, like any other sports, shearing competitions have their stars and legends. “Floyd Haare took the Tapawera Shears Open shearing title last year, he did a great job in the final shearing twenty sheep in 19 mins and 24.22 seconds, beating the runner up by more than two sheep. It was

There is a range of different competitions on the day including junior, senior, and women’s sections. “It’s always a good day, something different for those who haven’t experienced it before, come and have a look,” Kerry says. The event is being held on Saturday, 27 January, at the Tapawera Recreation Centre from 10am - 3 pm. Entry is free. Coffee and food carts on site.

Returning cancer fundraiser laces up GORDON PREECE Cancer Society Nelson Tasman’s largest fundraiser is laced up to return to its true form after a sixyear hiatus. The biannual Relay for Life fundraiser is held throughout New Zealand by regional Cancer Society branches to raise funds for their local organisation, and to celebrate cancer survivors and the volunteers who support patients during cancer treatment.

Centre manager for Cancer Society Nelson Tasman, Michelle Hunt, says the fundraiser was last held in Nelson in 2018, but it was cancelled in 2020 due to Covid-19 restrictions. She says a virtual fundraiser was held in 2022. Michelle says this year’s event will circuit at the Richmond A&P Showgrounds from 4pm on 16 March to 8am on 17 March, and she encourages the community to rally team members to support

the cause. “In previous years it’s always wonderfully supported by our community… we get between 600 and 800 people and we raise about $100,000, so we’re hoping to have the same number again this time,” she says. “Most teams have 10 people… and all teams need to have somebody walking on the track at all times. “People can camp overnight inside the race track, and we’ve

also got different entertainment throughout the event.” Michelle says the fundraiser opens with the survivors and carers lap to celebrating those who have fought against cancer, before a candlelight ceremony later in the evening to remember those who have lost their lives to cancer. She says the event’s overnight timeline gives participants the opportunity to appreciate that cancer can be a “dark time” and when the sun rises the following

morning it symbolises light and hope on the other side. Michelle says relay registrations cost $20 per person, which covers campsite, entertainment and breakfast costs, and must be submitted by 10 March. She says registered teams have an online platform for Cancer Society Nelson Tasman donations. Visit relayforlife.org.nz/nelsontasman, or contact 03 539 1137 or info@cancernelson.org.nz to register.

Nelson’s health services are set to receive a boost with the launch of a $3 million air ambulance plane for the New Zealand Flying Doctor Service based at Nelson Airport. To the end of June 2023, the service completed 1,276 missions across New Zealand and just over 50 percent of these missions were from Nelson. The new plane, a Beechcraft Super King Air B200, is the newest in New Zealand’s aeromedical fleet and offers a significant upgrade. “This model of plane is ideal for aeromedical inter-hospital transfers and will be instrumental in getting patients in the Nelson and Marlborough area to the specialist or higher acuity care they need,” says Nelson base manager Ryan O’Rourke. Before the launch next month, the New Zealand Flying Doctor Trust is giving Nelsonians and Top of the South locals a chance to name their plane, and the lucky winner will be invited to the launch at Nelson Airport on 15 February. Voting is now open at www.nzflyingdoctors.co.nz and people have until 9 February to cast their vote.

Local History exploring our

Proudly brought to you by...

Joshua Papps – Tasman’s man of many talents ROBYN PARKES Joshua Frederick Papps was born in Holt, Wiltshire in June 1848 and was one of eight children born to George and Elizabeth Papps nee Bull. In 1871 he was living in the parish of Bradford on Avon with his father, sister and nephew and was listed as being a carpenter. For reasons unknown, the following year he emigrated to New Zealand on the ship ‘Forfarshire’ as a single man, arriving in New Zealand in March 1873. Joshua settled in Richmond and on the first day of 1874 married Selina Ann Timms, daughter of Mr Samuel Timms of Wairua Valley. Over 15 years the couple had seven children, the last of them still young when Selina died in September 1892 after a long illness. Four years later in 1896 Joshua married, in Dovedale, Bertha Win. They went on

to have six children, making a total of 13 children in the family. Joshua began a wheelwright and coachbuilding business on the corner of Queen and Cambridge Sts and running back to Oxford St, where the family home stood. He built a blacksmith shop with a door opening onto the street and double doors into the yard. The smithy contained all the equipment needed for making the ironwork for the vehicles. The paint shop was two-storey and had sliding doors opening onto Cambridge St. On the second floor of the paint shop the carts, gigs and buggies were stored after being finished with new paint and varnish. In order to get them upstairs, a removeable section of the upper story floor was so constructed that it could be lowered by a chain pulley. The finished vehicle would be pushed on to the platform and the whole lot

In March 1906 Joshua, with son Harry, opened a second coachbuilding business in High St, Motueka, opposite Holyoakes Hotel where all kinds of vehicles

were made to order and repairs and painting were undertaken. Around 1919 Joshua gave up the business due to ongoing ill health and he and Bertha retired to Dovedale where they lived for a few years before finally settling

in Wakefield where Joshua remained until his death in April 1938. Joshua took an active part in Richmond’s development and within three years of arriving in the settlement was on several committees. He was a member of the first Borough Council and served in that capacity for many years, a member of the School Committee, waterworks committee, the A & P Association and took an active part in the Volunteer Fire Brigade. He was also a prominent Oddfellow, being secretary of the Loyal Travellers’ Rest Lodge and Superintendent of the Juvenile Lodge for some years. Joshua was a keen supporter of the Anglican Church at Richmond and was a member of the vestry, acted as organist in the early days and was a member of the church choir for twenty years.

All aboard the Bolton reunion KATE RUSSELL A gathering is being organised for the descendants of passengers who travelled to Nelson 180 years ago on the emigrant ship Bolton. Val Trow, who is a descendant of one of those passengers, Thomas Hopgood, decided to organisie the event after the idea had been “whirling around in her brain”. The Bolton was the sixth emigrant ship to reach Nelson’s shores, landing on 15 March 1842. “I’ve always known the Bolton, to me, was awfully special,” says Val. She says the idea for the reunion,

which will be held on 17 March this year at the Hope Hall, was sparked when fellow Olive Estate resident and marine artist, Paul Deacon, showed her a drawing he had done of the Bolton. “It got me thinking if there were any other descendants around from the Bolton.” Then, on a New Year’s trip to Okiwi Bay, she met a lady from Tauranga who told Val that her ancestors came on the Bolton with the first hop plants. That’s when Val thought it was about time to get together a group of people for the Bolton and she proceeded to

Val Trow (Hopgood family), Dianne Scott (Newman family), and Rosie Davies (Ricketts family) are organising a reunion for those related to passengers who arrived in Nelson on the Bolton in 1842. Photo: Kate Russell.

put a post up on the ‘Top of the South Island, New Zealand History’ Facebook group. “I got a very positive response. Everyone seems to agree that it’s a great idea.” Val’s descendants, the Hopgoods, were one of 50 families on the ship. Thomas and Jane Hopgood were on board with their children Sarah, Anne, Jane, Eliza, Stephen, George, and young Thomas – whom Val descends from. “They went down to Spring Grove where they cut out their farm and they had acreages there growing crops. They were there for many years.” The Newman family (who started Newman’s Coachlines) were also on the ship, and two of the Hopgood girls married two of the Newman boys, according to Val. Other names on the passenger list, which can be found at Port Nelson, are Cate, Higgs, and Tyrrell - just to name a few. The Bolton was a barque built in Liverpool and launched in 1822. It made at least three voyages carrying immigrants to New Zealand for the New Zealand Company. The voyage to Nelson was four months long. The 540-tonne ship departed from Gravesend, England, on 29 October 1841.

In a description of the voyage written by Sarah Higgins (nee Sharp), the ship encountered a storm in the Bay of Biscay. “The sea was mountains high. It commenced on New Year’s night, it kept on for three days and three nights, we were battened down below,” she said. It broke all the bulwarks on the side of the ship with even the pigs going overboard and the captain’s wife being washed out of her cabin. The masts were broken in two, the sails had gone and nearly all the top deck disappeared. A French ship helped with temporary repairs and from then on it was a calm trip to Wellington where it arrived on 28 February 1842. It remained there for

13 days while more permanent repairs were carried out. On 13 March she sailed from Wellington to join a convoy and arrived in Nelson Haven. Passengers were ferried ashore, rowing past the Fifeshire which was wrecked on the rock, leaving the haven on 27 February. During the voyage there were 16 deaths (mostly children) and eight births. Val says she has had over 150 people show interest in the reunion. “People will have their own stories, and how their people thrived when they got here. We are here today because they decided to come to Nelson.” To register your interest, email Val at boltonship@proton.me

Cyclists need to warn others

ing critter, just magic. Lee Corlett

When I first started cycling many years ago convention had it that you let other cyclists know that you were about to overtake them, either by wringing your bell or shouting a warning such as “Coming through” or “On your right”, or left, as the case may be. This wasn’t only a courteous thing to do, it was also a matter of road safety. Nowadays, especially since the advent of ebikes, I seldom get a warning. Cars I can hear coming up behind me, bicycles I can’t. John Aitchison

I have voted for this amazing creature. Lizz Conroy

Just another wet slap on the wrist. When will the courts start making examples of this type of driving behaviour? And if he was over the limit, jail time. That is what NZ need, no more house arrest or suspended sentence. People choose their actions, they will also need to face the consequences. Corne Van Der Westhuizen No excuse is good enough. Judy Proffit Can you imagine if this was a Kiwi in the US with the same argument. Nikki Ryan Is that it? That’s why people keep doing it because there’s no consequence,

Dedicated to providing a personalised service - Anisy's Tasman Funeral Home Providing professional and caring services across the upper South Island regions for many decades, Anisy's Tasman Funeral Home owners, Laurie and Val Anisy, are celebrating ten years in business with their Richmond location. Winding back the clock, with Laurie’s funeral experience dating back to 1963, the passionate duo purchased the former Baptist Church in Greymouth and established Anisy's Funeral Services in 2002 with a vision to provide the community with a choice of funeral homes. At the time Laurie had already accumulated over 33 years of service in the profession. De-

cember 2013 saw Val and Laurie acquire Tasman Funeral Care, an already established business on Cambridge Street in Richmond, and rebranding it to Anisy's Funeral Home before relocating to McGlashen Ave and now Beach Road. Through hard work and Val’s personal touches they built up the business - which, Val says, was no mean feat, as other funeral businesses had already been

serving the district for around 100 years. Unfortunately, in 2019, Val’s health failed her, so the couple decided to scale the business down. “We have since sold Anisy's Funeral Home in Greymouth and are now concentrating on the wonderful Anisy’s Tasman Funeral Home in Richmond.

Five wickets in five balls JACK MALCOLM

Five wickets from five balls. It’s not often you can say someone had a perfect game in cricket, but Alex Brogan came close on Saturday for Wolves (Wanderers/ Motueka) with a bowling performance for the ages. Finishing with figures of 7-17 from 10 overs, the young bowler was in red-hot form to set up a strong win for his team over Nelson College. The other result from the fourth round of local premier grade cricket’s two-day competition will have to wait until this weekend, with Stoke/Nayland in a strong spot against Wakatu New World Nelson City after retiring on 340/5 after a giant 184-run innings by Jonty Raxworthy. Wakatu finished the day 119/3, with opener Jordan Kelso still at the crease on 64, while Athletic College Old Boys and Waimea Toi Toi United’s game at Marsden Recreation was cancelled due to the state of the pitch after midweek rain.

The fireworks started for Alex in the 10th over as he picked up four back-to-back wickets after opening with two dot balls for a double hat trick maiden over. Not finished, he opened up the 12th with another golden duck, making it five in a row. He says, with every delivery the excitement grew and the field came in another step. “By the fifth, everyone was around the bat. “It was a bit weird because the same thing kept happening.” With his last four wickets being clean bowled, he says the ball was “swinging quite a lot”. “I’ve never had a hat trick before. . . the boys were just laughing.” The performance saw Nelson College limp to 48 all-out from the first innings, with Wolves making 251-6 in response before declaring with another Raxworthy brother in the mix, this time Finn with a top score of 90 from just 63 balls, hitting eight fours and six sixes. He was aided by opener Andrew

Alex Brogan’s five wickets from five balls set the stage for a firstday victory over Nelson College in the two-day competition. Photo (File): Chris Symes/Shuttersport. Beatson (83 runs) and Michael Olsen (39 not out) as the Wolves

batted like they had somewhere to be, taking just 40 overs to

notch up their 250. Now more than 200 runs behind, Nelson College had an improved performance but still succumbed before stumps on day one. Alex says it’s going to be a bit weird having a Saturday off for the first time in a while. “I won’t know what to do with myself.” He didn’t pick up a wicket from the second innings, with Joseph O’Connor the best for the Wolves as he picked up three for 17 runs from nine overs. The result culminates a strong week for the Wolves after they solidified their T20 finals spot with a top-of-the-table midweek clash against Stoke-Nayland. Winning by 10 wickets, with Justin Hobbs 53 not out and Joseph O’Connor 44 not out, the Wolves will enter the January 31 final unbeaten. Their opponent will be decided this Wednesday with a winner-takes-all game on the artificial pitch at Maitai Cricket Ground between ACOB and Stoke-Nayland.

Signed with Stoke, but not in Nelson JACK MALCOLM Scott Morris is living out his dreams of being a professional footballer after signing with Stoke City in England. The 22-year-old Richmond-raised goalkeeper has signed on with the English second-tier team until the end of the 2024-25 season and has already been named on the reserves for the club’s U21 squad in a game against Manchester City. With the announcement of his signing last week, it’s been a whirlwind start to the year for the emerging player. “To be a young kid from the South Island, it was obvious that being a professional and representing your country was something that certainly appeared impossible,” he says. “I’ve always wanted to be a pro from an early age, but it was probably only in the last few years that I realised that being a professional footballer could be a real possibility if I just got my head down and worked hard.” Having ended last season with Christchurch United, winning the Chatham and English Cups as well as the Southern League, he kept 12 clean sheets from 20 appearances. While he might be the last line of defence, Scott says it’s been a team effort that sees him where he is to-

day. From rubbing shoulders with local legends to the coaching he’s received, there are countless people to thank. He says he still has the Newcastle Jets shirt Jeremy Brockie gave him, on his wall, as well as Coey Turipa’s New Zealand under-20 World Cup shirt. “I still remember him telling me when he gave it to me that I need to give him one of mine in return when I’m older. “There’s so many people that have had an impact on my development, too many to name, but there are two that really refined me as a player. . . Paul Ifill, a Wellington Phoenix legend and Jonathon Gould, a former Premier League goalkeeper and All Whites goalkeeper coach.” He also paid tribute his parents, who he says have backed him to chase his dreams. “My time in Nelson football was mainly my youth years where I spent every Saturday with my best mates playing for a team which my dad coached. Therefore, it really planted the seed of the love I had for football.” When he was 14 years old, his father, Paul Morris, says Scott came home and said he wanted to move cities to join Paull Ifill’s Football Academy in Masterton. But the path hasn’t all been

straight forward, with the decision to move into goal coming after he was diagnosed with Sever’s disease, as a 10 year old. Sever’s disease is a painful condition of the heel that occurs in growing children, which makes running difficult. “[So] Dad put me in goal for his team and I never really looked back. I don’t think I would’ve been much of a footballer had I stayed in the outfield,” he laughs.

Scott Morris says it’s a dream come true to sign with Stoke City after the announcement last week the young keeper would join the squad. Photo: Supplied.

s w e N g n i h s Fi Exciting changes to 2024 Snapper Cup format A firm favourite on the fishing calendar each year is the Snapper Cup Fishing competition. Held in March, this comp has grown bigger and better each year. Hosted by the Dawnbreakers Fishing Club, aspects of the Snapper Cup which we know and love will remain –An amazing prize pool thanks to major sponsors Hunting and Fishing Nelson/Richmond and Furuno ENL, prize-giving at Trafalgar Centre, thanks to venue sponsor DNA boats, and fundraising for Coastguard Nelson. The prize pool is shaping up to be as good if not better than previous years, and as usual there will be both kayak and boat divisions. There are still senior and junior categories, plus loads of spot prizes even if you don’t catch a winning fish. Now on to the exciting changes! The Snapper Cup has always been linked with Dawnbreakers membership, however this year, membership is not a prerequisite but Dawnbreakers members will get discounted entry. The competition timeline and area has been extended so there is now a longer window available for fishing. Fishing will be allowed from 5pm Friday 8 March to 5pm Sunday 10 March and now incorporates Golden Bay.

Brought to you by:

To align with good fishing practices and environmental considerations given the increases above, competition will move from a weight-based comp to a measure-based result. This will be done using the Daiwa Tournament App to simplify entries. An approved measure mat will be required for entry then you simply send the image in via the app meaning no racing back to the ramp to weigh in your fish at the end of the day! Snapper, Kingfish, kahawai, gurnard, and the newly-added trevally are accepted species. There will be prizes for the longest of the species, average length and several new trifecta categories which will make for an exciting prize-giving. Then to top it all off, the prizegiving and dinner will be held at the Trafalgar Centre on Saturday 23 March with full buffet dinner from Under The Hood. Registrations are open and tickets are limited so sign up now! www.dawnbreakers.co.nz Fishing dates: 5pm Friday 8 March – 5pm Sunday 10 March 2024 (back up dates 5pm Friday 15 March – 5pm Sunday 17 March 2024). Prize-giving dinner: 23rd March, Trafalgar Centre.

Nelson drivers find success across country JODY SCOTT Milestone Homes Top of the South Speedway drivers had a successful weekend around New Zealand, the biggest at Wellington Family Speedway who were running the NZ Streetstock championship. A dozen drivers made the trip across Cook Strait to compete, a record 110 entries for the title. 3nz Steve Soper started his championship off with a win in the opening heat of qualifying night, his brother Perry Soper and Ryan Musgrove also picking up heat wins on the night. Four drivers made it into the championship finals, Steve and Perry were joined by Cody McCarrison and Doug Corbett. The championship night was delayed due to wet weather, but the Wellington club did a fantastic job of drying the track to get racing underway an hour late. Four Nelson drivers made the repechage race, Ryan Musgrove, Brian Shaw, Malita Evans and Richard Bateman, to claim the final spot in the championship group, but it was defending NZ champion Paul Leslie who took the win. Steve Soper started well with a 2nd placing in the opening heat, McCarrison 7th, Corbett 19th, and Perry Soper out on lap 7, the overheated engine not able to restart. Heat 2 was won by Cody McCarrison, Perry finished 3rd with Steve coming home in 10th and Corbett again in 19th. The final heat had all four cars finishing inside the top 10, Cody and Steve 4th and 5th respectively with Perry and Doug 9th and 10th, a huge effort for a final championship

Dunedin’s Alan Finch won the NZ title with Nelson drivers Cody McCarrison and Steve Soper finishing 2nd and 3rd on the podium. Steve keeps his 3nz number while Cody will have the 2nz on his car until next year when the NZ title is in Auckland before coming to Nelson in 2026. It was a huge reward for McCarrison, after pushing Steve Soper round in the final race in Blenheim to get the 3nz on the Soper door last year. The Nelson Knights teammates shared the love in Wellington, the grade has been on the improve for the past few years and to get two drivers on the NZ podium is a just reward for all the efforts that have gone in behind the scenes. Alex Hill continued his love of Rotorua, the shortened World 240’s event run in a single day after heavy rain on Friday. The change of format meaning just two races to qualify for 20 spots out of 120 drivers. Hill did enough with a 3rd and

9th in his heats to qualify for the championship group, another solid effort in the opening heat to finish 3rd then a 13th and 17th to finish 8th overall. The Sprint cars were in action at the Hydralink “War of the Wings” at Ruapuna in Christchurch. Nelson’s Connor Rangi took out the 30-lap feature race in an epic 3-way battle with old mate Jamie Duff and series leader American Joel Myers Jnr, with youngster Dyllan Forsey sneaking home late for a podium spot. Rangi moves up to second spot in the series with Nelson’s American driver Brenham Crouch slipping to 3rd. Alicia Hill made the trip to Christchurch, finishing 9th in the feature race. The series returns to Nelson this week for round five, Rangi keen to do well on his home track as he battles the Americans for the War of the Wings title. Time trials kick off around 5.30 with racing starting at 6pm Saturday.

In loving memory of Christine, who sadly passed away much too early on the 24th of January 2023. Much loved by her partner and her two girls, Renee and Madison, and her family. Remembering you and thinking of all the good times helps ease my broken heart. One day we will hold hands again. Love you forever David
