Nelson forks out $1m in fines Sara Hollyman

Nelson Police handed out more than a million dollars in speeding fines in the region during the first nine months of 2020. New police data shows that between January and September

2020, a total of 14,639 speeding tickets, or $1,062,320 worth, were dished out to drivers in Nelson Bays from a combination of police officers and mobile speed cameras. Officers handed out just under 5000 tickets totalling more than $535,000. This was up 1300 tickets

from 2019 when they issued 3573 during the same period – despite the country being in Level 4 lockdown for a month. Tasman road policing team leader, Senior Sergeant Grant Andrews, says he’s not surprised officers have issued more tickets

for speeding. “Speeding has been a huge issue for us, our tolerance is probably less than it was which could be part of the reason the infringements have increased.” Grant says people are just not getting the message to drive to the

speed limit. “They seem to feel that they have an 11km tolerance over the limit as a right, but they don’t. We would’ve given out more around that 11-15km-over range, I’d say.

Serving up style at races Erin Bradnock The style served at this year's Fashion on the Field event proves yet again that the fashion is just as important as the action on the track at a day at the races. More than 40 people competed in the best dressed and best hat categories this year as part of last weekend’s Nelson Harness Racing Club’s Interislander Summer Festival at Richmond Park. Annual competitors and friends, Emma SilkeFrench and Angela Miller, say they look forward to the event every year with the event marked in their calendars, months in advance. “We’ve done this together for four years now. Angela is in charge of the headwear and I’m on hair and makeup. It’s a great excuse to get dressed up and is always a fun day out in Nelson,” says Emma. However, the winners were Elizabeth Charleston, in an emerald dress, and Jono Leach, who took out best dressed man.

Dead whale causes concern Charles Anderson The Department of Conservation has been scouring Tasman Bay looking for a decomposing humpback whale. Reports came in late last week of what is believed to be a juvenile whale floating about 1km north of Schnapper Point. It was also reported on the Nelson Boating Community Facebook page that there were several large sharks including mako and bronze whalers feeding on the carcass. “Please let all surfers, swimmers in that area know about the sharks etc. Also, all boaties should proceed with caution as hitting something that size will not be tidy.”

A photo posted on Sunday showed a whale floating in the ocean with parts of its body seemingly torn off. It appeared that the carcass was slowly drifting towards Rabbit Island. DOC spokesperson Trish Grant says rangers went out to look for the whale in a boat but were unable to locate it. Marine mammals are protected by legislation to ensure people don’t harm live animals or interfere with dead animals without prior permission of the proper authorities. It is an offence to take all or part of a marine mammal. Those who do so can face court action and penalties of up two years’ imprisonment or a fine of up to $250,000.

“One officer recently suspended three drivers in one day because they were going more than 40km over the speed limit.” Speed cameras placed around the region detected more than 518,000 vehicles crossing their path, with almost 3 per cent of those being issued an infringement for speeding. Road users were also reprimanded for their use of mobile phones and failure to use seatbelts, with 901 tickets issued for mobile phone use and 843 for not wearing a restraint during the nine-month period. Grant says cellphone use while driving will continue to be a weekly focus for road policing staff. “We still get in excess of 30 drivers in the space of an hour and a half who are calling, texting and using social media, it astounds me. “We would much rather have a day when we don’t issue any infringements, we just want to see people getting to their destination safely and spending time with their friends and family.”

Jellyfish warning at local beaches Locally Owned and Operated

Charles Anderson Nelson residents are sounding the alarm after large numbers of bluebottle jellyfish have been spotted at local beaches. When Sierra Clement went to Tahunanui Beach last week to have a walk with her sister, she got a nasty surprise. “The water was lovely and warm, so we walked along a few steps in the water. My sister stood on something and she got a fright and flicked what she stood on with her foot.” Then it landed on Sierra’s foot. That was when she noticed it was a “huge bluebottle”. “I didn’t think it would sting as much as it did.” Sierra looked up and noticed there were a large number at the water’s edge and on the shoreline. She rinsed the sting in sea water and then soaked it in hot water when she got home, which helped. However, she hopes people will keep an eye out to save themselves an unneeded sting. “I feel it’s important to warn people.” There have also been reports of the jellyfish at Rabbit Island. Niwa says jellyfish blooms are likely to be a common sight

Photo: Niwa. this summer with rising ocean temperatures one of the main causes of substantial population growths. Niwa marine biologist Diana Macpherson says jellyfish blooms occur when water temperatures rise, which causes an increase in the amount of food available for jellyfish to eat. "Jellyfish numbers increase as a result, then prevailing winds and currents can gather them up into dense groups and strand them on beaches," she says.

Her advice in the event of being stung by a jellyfish is to flush the area with seawater to remove the stinging cells, carefully pluck off any tentacles that might be stuck on, then apply heat to relieve the pain and deactivate the venom. Using urine to relieve a sting is a popular misconception - there is no way of telling its pH and chemical make-up so it could actually make the pain worse. Most stings in New Zealand waters are not serious but jellyfish should be avoided when possible.

Hornell family wins for lighting up Xmas Sara Hollyman Reporter

For the Hornell family, packing down the Christmas decorations means more than just throwing out the tree and boxing up ornaments. Louis, Kristina, Skye and Summer have spent more than a week deconstructing their Oxford St Christmas lights display, which saw thousands of visitors stream during their yard through the month of December. Their display of lights, inflatable and dancing Santas was voted Nelson Tasman’s favourite display of 2020, winning them a two-night getaway at a Delaware Bay holiday home. Louis says they were planning to

take a 10-day family trip in their caravan once all the decorations were safely stored away but car troubles has put a stop to that. “My truck is going to be off the road for about six weeks so we can’t take the caravan away anymore, so the kids are really excited to be able to go somewhere at all.” Louis and his family not only opened their home to nighttime visitors but also put-on daytime showings of their inflatable display which saw local preschools and vans full of retirement village residents enjoy the festive fun. “There were people from the retirement homes up dancing with our Santa saying they felt like they were little kids again, it was great to see them able to

enjoy it,” says Kristina. Second place was awarded to the display at 189 Annesbrook Drive, which won $100 cash. 1 Cropp Place took away a gift hamper which they chose to donate to the Nelson Women’s and Children’s Refuge. Two members of the public also took out prizes for casting a vote. Bronwyn Roach received $100 cash and Edward Molloy a gift hamper. Nelson Tasman Christmas Lights organisers, the Nelson App and The Breeze, would like to thank Haven Realty’s Glenda Buschl, MTF Finance Nelson and Radio World Nelson for donating the prizes, along with the ten display homes for putting in such a huge effort to spread Christmas cheer.

Nelson is in the top three places in the country with the largest housing stock drop over the past year, according to new data. Data from realestate.co.nz showed Nelson and Bays housing stock dropped by 49.2 per cent from December 2019 to December 2020. Only Wairarapa with 58.5 per cent and Coromandel with 50.3 per cent had larger drops. This equated to a reduction of 172 houses with an inventory of listing lasting for five weeks. Nationally, 16 of 19 regions had their housing stock fall to alltime lows since records began 13

year ago. Realestate.co.nz spokeswoman Vanessa Taylor said the stock shortage would likely continue to prove challenging for buyers at the beginning of 2021. “This is a long-term factor impacting the New Zealand market, and the number of Kiwis returning from overseas, combined with low mortgage rates and lack of international travel, are only adding to the demand for property.” At a national level only 12,932 homes were available for purchase in New Zealand at the end of December – 29.1 per cent less than the same time last year.

Fire rips through CBD eatery Erin Bradnock A fire which tore through a Hardy St restaurant last week started in the kitchen and spread through the ventilation system. Fire and Emergency were called to the Noodle Canteen at 9.40am last Thursday with four crews being sent to tackle the blaze. Flames and thick black smoke emerging from the top of the building was visible from the street before the fire was contained. According to Fire and

Emergency shift manager Ian Littlejohn the fire was contained at 10.10am. ‘Hot-spots’ in wall cavities were investigated and it was determined that the fire started in the kitchen and spread through the ventilation system. Fire and Emergency NZ Tasman area commander Grant Haywood says owners of commercial properties with kitchens need to check that their extraction systems and vats were up-to-date with regular cleaning. Hardy St was blocked off for a time while fire crews contained the fire.

Trading lifejackets and saving lives Erin Bradnock Nelson Coastguard Wayne Harrison warns that a lifejacket that is no longer fit for purpose could cost you your life. Coastguards New Zealand’s annual summer campaign Old4New hit Nelson on Sunday. It is a national campaign where water adventurers can trade in old lifejackets for a new one at a discounted rate. By the day’s end Old4New had sold 86 jackets with a pile of about 120 discarded jackets. “People aren’t often told when they buy their lifejackets that they have a lifespan and there’s things to check to make sure they’re water ready,” says Wayne. He says lifejackets typically have a lifespan of 15 years if treated well but there are easy ways to check if your lifejacket is still water ready. “Contamination is the big thing. Sunlight and seawater are the main killers so proper storage and cleaning is really important.” He says lifejackets as old as 50 years get dropped off to Old4New all too regularly, which is always concerning to the Coastguard team. “These older jackets are typically filled with something called ‘kapok’

and when the thin plastic lining inevitably tears and the kapok gets wet your lifejacket effectively turns into a deadweight,” he says. Maritime New Zealand has labelled lifejackets with kapok fillings and those with cotton straps as ‘likely to fail when used and should be destroyed’. Wayne and fellow coastguard Hilary Tear have been road tripping the South Island this month with a total of 24 stops coming to a finish this Sunday. One lifejacket dropped off this weekend at Akersten Boat Ramp Nelson was more than 20 years old, with its metal cylinder so corroded that the jacket burst and broke when tested by Hilary. “You have to check the cylinders to see if they're tight enough. Any sign of corrosion or if it’s been ignited before, you have to get it replaced,” says Wayne. For those hitting the water this summer period, the Coastguard's advice includes having two forms of communication onboard in a waterproof container, to check the weather and to always wear your lifejacket. “If you’re on the water, wear your lifejacket. It's a lifesaver," Wayne says.

GENERATIONS OF NELSON Brought to you by Marsden House Managing Imported Disease

The planting of English trees in Nelson also brought diseases that attacked them. By 1895, European golden oak-scale showed up. An outbreak in 1904 was serious enough to require the felling of trees from Nelson to Brightwa-

ter. In 1920, when Hagley Park Christchurch had a major outbreak, the Cawthron Institute imported a parasite. It controlled oak-scale so successfully that it was later exported to Chile to manage a major outbreak there.

GPs help local skin cancer waiting lists Jenny Nicholson Local GPs have stepped up to help decrease a clogged waiting skin cancer surgery list. Drs Mark Fry and Wayne Hurlow say that the Nelson Hospital system had many patients on a waitlist for skin cancer operations. So, they stepped up to perform surgeries, such as small grafts that would previously have been performed by plastic surgeons, and have found it incredibly satisfying. “Nelson-Tasman has one of the highest rates of cancer in a country that arguably has the highest rate in the world,” says Mark. And it is increasing. In the past five years, referrals for skin cancer surgery have increased by 50 per cent. Mark and Wayne are General Practitioners with a ‘Special Interest’ or GPSIs. They have two years formal training in skin cancer care with six months of that

Patients with probable skin cancer can be referred by their doctor to the skin cancer service. All referrals are assessed by

Mark, alongside general surgeon Dr Susan Seifried. From there, some patients are returned for GP care, some are referred on to specialists, but many are referred to the GPSIs. Because the GPSI service is funded by the primary health organisation, it is free to the patient. “Over a year we triage about 2500 patients,” says Mark.

Patients who are referred to GPSIs will usually have their initial consultation within eight days of referral with surgery about 12 days later. In a recent review of the service, a patient satisfaction survey found 98 percent were either satisfied or very satisfied. While the service is free to the patient, it is also costeffective to the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board as the estimated cost of a patient seeing GPSI is between 12 and 20 per cent of the cost of seeing a specialist in the hospital. “The service is more efficient, quicker and costeffective. We could do more if there was more funding,” says Mark. Dr Wayne Hurlow says there is a huge need for GPSIs in the region, particularly because of the number of rural workers. "Their exposure to the sun increasing their chances of skin cancer.”

Top of South loses sunshine crown After six years, Whakatāne has wrenched the title of New Zealand's sunshine capital away from the Top of the South. It has been a hard-won battle. Following several back-to-back wins, Whakatāne has been forced to watch for the last six years as Blenheim, Richmond and Nelson continually jostled for first place. The district, branded as having "everything under the sun", even dipped as low as sixth place at one point. Although Niwa is yet to certify this year's sunshine results, Whakatāne's substantial lead over second-placegetter Richmond makes that a formality. The figures provided by local weather analyst John Scott are based on the daily sunshine hours contained in Niwa's CliFlo database as of 1 January.

! w o N n O

With 2704 sunshine hours, Whakatāne came in 89 hours ahead of second-placed Richmond, 105 hours ahead of Blenheim and 109 hours ahead of New Plymouth. Scott said the town recorded the highest sunshine hours in the country in January, February, May and December 2020. Mayor Judy Turner is jubilant that Whakatāne has finally reclaimed its title as the country's sunniest spot. She said locals would be glad to share their sunshine with visitors. "It's really cool, it's a very lovely way to finish off what has been a pretty horrible year. "We're not going to hog it all for ourselves, we welcome New Zealand to come and enjoy our sunshine with us. Feel free to come and share." –RNZ

Shine Girl Nelson is Waterway funding changing young lives welcomed Locally Owned and Operated

Staff Reporter

Jenny Nicholson Shine Girl Nelson gave a 15-yearold the ability to talk again. Because of extreme trauma, the student had been unable to speak for some time. Throughout the eightweek Shine Girl course run at her college she could only communicate through writing, gestures, and facial expression. At the end of course graduation she said her first words for a very long time. She said: “Thank you.” A few months later the Shine facilitators were invited to her birthday party where they saw her laughing and talking. The eight-week local course is a personal development programme that aims to bring hope and purpose by helping the girls recognise their strengths and the power of their choices. Shine Girl Nelson’s coordinator, Nicky Van de Geest, says she has seen an epidemic of low self-esteem in girls and remembered back to her early teen years when she felt the same. At one Shine Girl session last term, leaders surveyed girls and the results showed that 91 per cent of the participants thought negatively

One of the tools Shine Girl gives girls is the ability to see their own strengths and to use that knowledge to look at life more positively. “We have had girls who have literally said, in feedback form, that they have chosen life because of Shine,” says Nicky. Students are referred to Shine Girl by staff at their schools and groups are limited to 10 students. In the past six months 200 girls have participated in Shine Girl Nelson. Emma Haycock, a year 12 student at Waimea College, participated in Shine Girl Nelson this year. “I was a little nervous at first but

straight away they got to relating with us and it was easy to break down walls,” says Emma. She says she is a lot more confident because of Shine Girl Nelson. She met others in the course who she could relate to and who are now good friends. The three messages, ‘you are beautiful’, ‘you are important’, and ‘you are enough’ helped her to see herself differently and to see she was more than she had thought she was before the course. “I enjoyed the times when we looked at techniques on how to have a more positive outlook on life,” she says.

Nelson will benefit from $1.3m towards the enhancement of the Wakapuaka River and its tributaries. The Wakapuaka Enhancement Project, led by Tasman Environmental Trust, will be the largest restoration project in Nelson on private land. It will plant 10.1 ha along the Wakapuaka River and tributaries, linking to existing restoration projects, while creating 22 new jobs for the region. “This is fantastic news for the region,” says Nelson MP Rachel Boyack. The project forms part of $36 million of Government funding in improving the water quality around the country. Two funding grants have also been announced for the Tasman District Council. The Tasman Wetlands for Water Quality and Freshwater Ecosystems project will receive $3m worth of funding, which will create 30 new jobs and restore and create wetlands in the Tasman District. This will be done

through controlling weeds, replanting and restoring natural hydrological regimes. Rachel says this will improve the health and resilience of native wetland vegetation, improve water quality and help to mitigate the impacts of climate change by storing carbon and moderating flood flows. An additional $1.75m grant to the Tasman District Council will strengthen a project aimed at improving fish diversity and abundance throughout the Tasman District. The funding comes from the Freshwater Improvement Fund, which is part of the Government’s $1.245 billion Jobs for Nature package that aims to create significant environmental benefits and employ thousands in our regions to help accelerate the recovery from the impact of Covid-19. “The investment into these three projects across Nelson and Tasman affirms the Government’s commitment to our environment, as well as creating new jobs,” Rachel says.

Vibrant, great young people, hope to see you next year. Bernie Goldsmith

Fruit growers hit by devastating hail Very very sad thinking of you all. Melonie Price

Lifetime honour for Nelson disability advocate Go Rodney! Thanks for all you have done for the Nelson community over many years. You are a star. Christine Blair Tuffnell

Hopefully you can recover from this. Ian Waine

Very sad.. just what they needed at the end of the year from hell. Ruth McLaren

Congratulate well deserved we met many years ago Well done. Yvonne Gill

Really feel for crop growers affected. Janelle Thorpe

Just back in Marahau from Motueka. The north side of Motueka and Riwaka seem hardly affected. But the south side of town, the hail is still lying and piled up, and to the south west and west side of town the hail damage to trees, hops, vines etc is very evident. So the damage may be in localised areas but where the hail has hit it's done so very hard indeed. My cousin's tomatoes are pretty much destroyed. Dennis Goodman

Riverside Pool upgrade could cost $300k The council waste more on a regular basis, at least the pool is a useable asset for the community. Rayon Mackenzie Why over the holidays??!! Marcia Hickmott

Congratulations Rodney. Loved seeing you receive this award on Attitude. Well deserved. Kay Williams

John Eales stands in front of his 1977 Jaguar XJS for this year's biennial Jag in the Park meet up at Broadgreen House last Sunday. John has been president of the Jaguar Nelson Drivers Club for 28 years and says you don’t have to own a Jaguar to be a part of the club, the only requirement is a love for cars. There are over 70 family memberships and over 100 Jaguars registered by the club that began in nearly 40 years ago in 1982. Members meet once a month and events like Jag in the Park see Jaguar enthusiast's road trip to Nelson from Westport to the Coromandel.

Sad, hope everyone is safe. Sanam Mukhtar Very upset for the owner. CinPu Zomi City floods with festival goers What a great atmosphere in town with the concert goers.

The Heart of Honda New Zealand

Honda ventures into new territory

Honda’s long association with Nelson has taken another exciting twist with the recent opening of a brand new retail outlet at the Honda New Zealand site in Wakatu Estate, Stoke. It is the latest development of a long and proud relationship between Honda and the Nelson community stretching back over 40 years. Honda New Zealand has a long, proud history with the local community. Its connection to this region began in 1980 with the assembly of the Honda vehicles at the car factory, and at its peak employed over 400 people. As market changes dictated, the factory eventually closed in 1998. However, Honda affirmed its commitment to the region, stating, “we will always be in Nelson.” The plant was initially used as a distribution centre for new Hondas but was demolished in the early 2000’s. The purpose-built Distribution Centre opened in 2001 on the Elms Street site, continuing this commitment,

joy a tour of the complex and the barbeque and giveaways, meet the team, and enter the draw to win a trip in our latest Honda to Hanmer Springs.” Honda Cars Nelson is an integral part of the Honda complex in Stoke which sits at the very heart of Honda New Zealand. Still, after many years, all new Honda cars start life at Nelson, and with a growing selection of certified used Hondas, they will have the Honda for you.

Honda Fan Base

and now with the new retail outlet and service facility, Honda has again shown its intention to remain a strong presence in Nelson.

Visit the fabulous new showroom The new showroom is modern, light and spacious. “It’s a serene space where people can come and discuss their motoring needs.” At times there will be up to 600 cars onsite, and if you would like to view a particular model, in a

particular colour, it will be most likely here so you can see the exact vehicle you are purchasing. “Ultimately, it’s about the brand; customers love the Honda quality, the backup and there’s plenty of that with full parts and service available onsite. We’re about making your Honda experience extra special with fairness, transparency, honesty and hospitality. Of most importance to the team is their relationship with the customer so they’ll be happy to make you a coffee and have a chat in the customer lounge area. The Honda Price Promise: Only one price, the best price. Whoever you are and where-ever you are, or whenever you buy you will always pay the same best price for your Honda. Dealer discounts and run out sales lower resale values and speed up depreciation of new cars. We don’t do this and that’s how we protect your investment in a new Honda.

Certified Used: Buy any NZ new Honda less than 8 years old and travelled less than 100,000kms and you receive a 3 year Honda warranty. How good is that? Service Packages: Introduced in 2020 transparent servicing options tailored to suit any Honda’s age and mileage. Many of the staff have been with the company since the vehicle assembly plant. “Their standard of workmanship is based on the high standards of new vehicle assembly, so we’re not your normal repair workshop,” Whether you need service and parts or you’re looking for the next Honda in your life. “Ken Allan and Craig Fenemor, previously from the Bowater Honda Franchise, both have a reputation for exceptional customer care.” “You are invited to come along to our Open Day on Saturday, 23 January (10am to 4pm). Official opening at 11:30am. Come and view our heritage cars, en-

Honda customers are traditionally very loyal. Lance Walford is one of many examples. He worked as a foreman in the paint shop for 27 years and was there on the day the plant closed in ’98. “It was like a second home to us,” he says. “People were friendly; we all got on well and producing motor cars in a little town like Nelson was pretty exciting in the mid-eighties. Honda bought the assembly plant, and we went out of all the British Leyland stuff and just built Hondas. I enjoyed it so much, I would still be working there today.” Lance bought a company Honda Civic in 1984 and has had Hondas ever since. “When I saw they were bringing out a ‘Type R,’ I said, ‘I’ve got to have one,’ so I ordered it and got the first one in Nelson, which I’ve had for two years and love it.” Then the new one came out, so he ordered that too. “It’s one of the best 2021 models in New Zealand.” Lance says it’s fantastic to drive; it looks smart and everywhere he goes, people tell him that they love it.

rock and roll circus show. There were stilt walkers, face painters, balloon modellers, giant bubbles, clowns, musicians and other special guests on hand to create a lively carnival atmosphere. The open-air festivities also moved to the Mapua Wharf and Motueka Town Square over the course of the weekend.

Summer Shakespeare returns to Nelson Charles Anderson

BY 2N PO D V PU EN LA UE R AD D EM DE AN D D

When Katie Boyle first learned that Shakespeare’s plays were actually rather naughty, it changed her entire view of them. “As soon as you get it on stage and it becomes performed, rather than on paper, it transforms.” She had a teacher who emphasised the “bawdy” nature of The Bard. “It became exciting to perform.” So Katie did – she toured with a troupe to the Pop-Up Globe in Auckland and then she put on her own homage to Shakespeare under the simple premise: “What if I played all the characters?" And now she has crossed the Cook Strait to help Nelson Summer Shakespeare put on The Comedy of Errors. “Nelson is beautiful, and I’ve brought my other shows here and it’s always divine.” Katie says putting on a show is something that is easy to take for granted.

“It’s exciting that an audience gets to see and sit in a public space with a proper fully fledged cast and see Shakespeare out in the park. That is special.” The play follows the fortunes of two sets of twins who are separated in a shipwreck and are trying to find each other and hilarity ensues. Director Giles Burton says he wanted to do this play this year because it’s an unadulterated farce. “Our first criteria is that we make it understandable, then it’s about making it accessible and also joyful.” The usual Summer Shakespeare cast has been shaken up with some younger people coming in, which Giles says has given it a fresh energy. “As well as being really good fun, we are outside. You can grab food from carts or bring your own picnic. It’s a really enjoyable evening experience all round.” They also have a ‘pay what you

decide’ model which means that those who might not be able to afford a top-quality show can come along. However, those who can afford it are encouraged to give generously as it is how the actors get paid for their work. The cast will put on about 17 performances across Nelson, Tasman and Blenheim. Katie says, whether she is performing by herself or with a big cast, in front of several people or thousands, there is always something that can be accessed by the crowd when it is performed well. “It’s the same here. If anyone is worried they won’t be able to understand it, they will. Why do you think we have been performing it for 400 years?” Nelson Summer Shakespeare presents The Comedy of Errors at Fairfield House Meadow January 13–20, Riverside Community, January 22–23, Washbourn Gardens, January 26–27 and Isel House, January 29–30.

Tony hopes to become a Force for good in the west Peter Jones

Outgoing Tasman Rugby Union chief executive officer Tony Lewis is set to take on a new challenge across the ditch. Tony resigned just before Christmas to take up the position as CEO of the Western Force union, based in Perth, Australia. He has been in charge of Tasman since 2013, leading the nation’s newest union to back-to-back Mitre 10 Cup premiership titles as well as successfully hosting an All Blacks’ test match in Nelson for the first time. “The union is now well placed for further growth,” Tony said. Tasman RU chairman Wayne Young backed up Tony’s sentiments, while praising the CEO’s efforts over the past eight years. “His expertise in the high performance area … his contacts in that world and contracting of players, has been outstanding.”

Wayne says Tony’s work has been based on four quadrants – high performance, community rugby, finance and governance – and he continually knocks them all out of the park. “A true all-rounder who gets things done. He’s leaving the union in really good shape.” Tony thanked sponsors, staff, clubs, players and directors of the union for their support over the previous eight years. “Success is a team effort and the TRU has been the greatest team I have been associated with in my career working in sport for 30-plus years.” He says Nelson is home and he plans to retire there, but felt it was time for a new challenge. “It is my belief that seven to eight years as a CEO in an organisation is about the right time frame. It was the hardest decision of my life and I appreciate [Wayne's] support and leadership as I wrestled with the

decision.” Tony will look to emulate Tasman’s ability to develop talented young players when he takes up his new role in Perth. He played for the Western Suburbs club while living in Perth in the late 1980s, and represented the State in 1987, before later making a successful transition into sporting administration. His recruitment has been labelled “a coup” for the Force and a key part of owner Dr Andrew Forrest’s plan to build the Perth-based franchise into the dominant trans-Tasman force in Super Rugby. Tony said he was extremely excited about being appointed CEO of a team with such a passionate history and supporter base. Wayne said Tony leaves for Australia with the union’s blessing. “He thrives on a challenge and it is a perfect step for him at this stage of his career and we wish him the best of luck.”

Blair keeps on winning Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Blair Orange has claimed Nelson’s most coveted harness racing prize for the second year running. Blair won the Nelson Pine Industries Nelson Cup at the region’s biggest racing festival over the weekend at the Richmond Showgrounds. Driving six-year-old Kruzir, Blair claimed his win in a time of 3:50.4, just .1 second ahead of No Nukes Skipper driven by Samantha Ottley in a thrilling 3000m race. Away safely from the standing start, Blair quickly had the Michael House-trained horse

in front and dictating the field which included 2020 champion Kendra. A late run by Gerard O'Reilly and Laver pushed the leader, however Blair held his nerve to defend his crown. Nelson Harness Racing Club president Kristie Hill says

excited to turnover $2 million in 2020 but we grew that to $3 million this year.” Kristie says even fields, as well as proactive promotion, saw the punters flock to the meet. “It creates a bit more competition and hard to determine a clear favourite.”

“It was a very successful race meeting, we were pretty excited to turnover $2 million in 2020 but we grew that to $3 million this year.” punters came out in force for the event with an increase in turnover of $1 million. “It was a very successful race meeting, we were pretty

As well as the increase in spending, the meet saw 40 more horses enter, taking the total to 150. “I think that had a lot to do

with the timing of other meets and the mile racing attracts a few trainers.” Kristie says the short distance as well as the speed of the track is appealing to those outside the region. Records were also set over the weekend. Blair broke the track record for a mile 1:51.9 while Madeline Stowe broke the track record for 2400m in 3:02.8. “That indicates the fabulous condition the track was in, John Mackenzie had it in tiptop shape.” Kristie says it was fantastic to see the support from not only outside the region but from locals, too.

s w e N g n i h s Fi Dominik Berghamer The holidays and the reasonably good weather saw quite a few people try their luck over the last couple of weeks and many of them did pretty well! There are still snapper to be caught, small ones in the shallows and bigger ones further out, past the 30m line. Plenty of kingfish have been caught as well, both targeted and as bycatch when fishing for snapper. Haku – the te reo name – are one of the most popular sport fish in New Zealand, they can weigh up to 60kg and are exceptionally powerful fighters. Not much is known about their life cycle but they seem to spawn over summer and unlike most other species the juveniles appear to move off shore for their early life. They grow incredibly fast and reach 2-3kg within a year’s time. That’s when many of them return to the shores – known as “rats” at this stage - and within 2-3 more years they have reached the legal size of 75cm. Unsurprisingly, this requires a lot of food, mainly smaller fish and squid. Kingfish are attracted to areas with structure and lots of current, the main areas to find them in the Bay are the Motueka spat farms and the Boulder Bank but they can be caught anywhere where there is food for them. Fishing methods include trolling lures, jigging or live baits, preferably with strong gear, if there is structure nearby they will try to get into it and break you off. If you are lucky enough to catch

For the best results apply only very little heat or no heat at all – kingfish make fantastic sashimi!

It was a hectic night at the first meeting of 2021 at Milestone Homes Top of the South Speedway. Multiple championships were on the calendar with the Child Cancer Foundation fundraiser headlining the show. The Quarter Midgets opened the show with Jacob Cunniffe picking up first place overall. The youth ministocks kept the referees busy in some competitive action with Canterbury’s Cameron Sidaway showing his experience to claim the title while locals Blake Hearne and Luke Higgins filled the other podium spots. The midgets saw Jeremy Webb and Dion Kerr enter as the two

top drivers, each with wins in the heats before Webb claimed the run-off after Kerr cut the pole line. Webb snuck out to the lead in the feature but was under fire all the way from Kerr, though a clean line was enough for Webb to extend his lead in the series. The productions saloons had a lap of honour to acknowledge fellow competitor Pam Nixon who fell ill over Xmas. The racing was fast and furious with several drivers being relegated for infringements over the night. Cam Lankshear kept it tidy all night, giving him the victory, while a racing incident on the start of the feature left several cars damaged as Nicole Carey bounced off the pole car and across the chasing pack. The stock car boys livened up

the event with good use of the bumpers all night with the Martin Boys from Greymouth having plenty of fun with the locals. Michael Paynter got revenge after being taken out at the recent South Island title by Riley Keen as he slammed into the side rail of the Eastern States car pushing the side rail into the chassis. Wade Sweeting and Dylan Clarke took out the triples by themselves after their partner Chris McKendrick ran foul of the referees. New Zealand stock car champion Ben Smith did some hot laps in the 1nz before he heads to Napier later in the week to defend his title. The club have a week off to prepare for the New Zealand Street Stock Grand Prix.

Young Athletes to be showcased at Saxton Locally Owned and Operated

Jonty Dine Budding young Olympians are set to descend on Nelson in their hundreds this January. Saxton is set to stage the biggest children’s athletics meet in the country, the Colgate Games. First established in 1978, the games will see three action-packed days with 889 young athletes from 70 clubs competing. Among them will be Nelson sprinter Josephine Tappenden who won gold in the 200 and silver in the 400m at the 2020 games. She is particularly excited about the prospect of a home meet. “They are really fun, and it’s really cool to be here in Nelson.” Josephine has been putting in plenty of training hours as she looks to take double gold in January. Nelson Colgate Games Committee member Cindy Rigg says Athletics Nelson will send 41 young athletes to compete on their home turf.

Local athletes Micayla Whiti, Josephine Tappenden, Claudia Rigg, Hunter Nicholls, and Nelson Colgate Games Committee members David Hansen, Lee Collett, Angela Whiti and Cindy Rigg. Photo: Jonty Dine. “There are some very talented locals representing the Top of the South from Nelson, Marlborough, Richmond and Motueka.” Cindy is part of a small but extremely dedicated team who have spent months organising the event. “There are only four of us, so it has

been very full on, and with Covid we have had to include plenty of hygiene protocols too.” She says there is a huge amount of logistics around catering to the influx of about 2000 people. “We went to the games in January in Christchurch and it’s just massive, but we are ready.”

Steve Delaney from the Stoke Bowling Club has defended his national title. Steve won the National B3/ B4 Singles title for vision impaired players edging out Dunedin’s Kerrin Wheeler 21-18 in a titanic final at the Sunnybrae Bowling club in Glenfield. To win he had to break an 18-all deadlock and achieved it in the next end by scoring a three at the Summerset National Singles and Pairs Championships. Steve says his dad, who was his director, gave him the best advice when he said: “You have just got to take ownership of it and play your game.” Earlier, Steve was runner up in the vision impaired (B1-B4) pairs. Steve suffers from a genetic disorder called retinitis pigmentosa.

Records shattered in Nelson classic

Locally Owned and Operated

Low scores mark return of club cricket

Peter Gibbs Swimmers took advantage of perfect conditions to rewrite the record book in the 34th Eyebright Mile in Nelson on Sunday. Alec Swan pipped Hayden Squance in a sprint up the beach, recording 22min 37sec for the 2km course. Oxford Bayley was in third place in 22.43, joining the others in breaking Cadman Irvine's 1993 record of 23.21. Previous three-time winner of the event Luke Kelly (24.01) finished just ahead of Abbey Smale (24.17), who shattered Sam Winward's 2015 record by 84 seconds. In a female procession, next to finish were Isabella Thurlow (26.23) and Brooke Swan (26.43). The annual race starts at the Nelson Yacht Club ramp and finishes on the sands of Tahunanui Beach. Race founder Peter Owen was on the start line for the first time in many years and finished the event comfortably. As usual, the race started right on high tide, giving slack water from the gun and with a slight tidal push as swimmers passed Haulashore Island and Fifeshire Rock. Squance took his customary line close to the wall, while Swan and Bayley swam wider out, with Kelly heading up the middle ahead of Smale. As they converged at the finish, the leaders were neck and neck, but a slight stumble by Squance as they ran through the shallows gave Swan the edge he

Some fine age group performances were recorded, including 44-year-old Christchurch triathlete John Newsom's 8th place, the consistent result from Christina Harris, the 57-year-old finishing in 11th and 42-year-old Marlborough swimmer Jodie Lovell's 12th place finish. Denis Cooper, 61, was 14th, just ahead of 56-year-old Chris Vincent. Nelson swimmers are accustomed to frequent racing in the weekly Port Nelson series, with short and long options available each week. It was noticeable that several of the younger competitors, who usually choose the short option, were able to finish well up the field in this longer race. Corey Tremblay, 13, Noah Brehaut, 12, Ariah Bayley, 13, and Victoria Charles,

13, all finished well up in the field and will be strong talents in the very near future. As usual, 79-year-old Derek Eaton distinguished himself in placing 40th overall, with 65 swimmers following in his wake. In the short option of 1300m, Joshua Barry and Thomas Newsom led the field of seven swimmers. Nelson swimmers now turn their attention to the national Banana Boat Ocean Swim Series, with the next outing in Wellington on January 31. Luke Kelly has won two of the last three Wellington races, but Oxford Bayley has his sights set on that title for this year after his secondplace finish in race one of the series on Auckland's North Shore late last year.

MAD DAN’S CHICKEN BREASTS

The post-Christmas cricket season got underway on Saturday with a slew of low scores to kick off the year. It was the bowlers who dominated in the return to action of the Tasman Premier League as frontrunners Athletic College Old Boys remain the only unbeaten side after four rounds. In a replay of last year’s decider, ACOB met Stoke/Nayland at the Botanics. The visitors struggled their way to 133/10 off 35.4 overs, opener Josh Smith the lone bright spot with 50. Reuben Smith would claim 4/18, backed up by David Zohrab’s 2/16 and his twin brother Thomas with 2/21. ACOB was relatively untroubled in reply, Finn Restieaux and David Zohrab finishing unbeaten on 73 and 32 respectively as the defending champions reached the target in just 28.4 overs. At Jubilee Park, Waimea Toi Toi United eked out an 18-run win over Wanderers/Motueka. Batting first, Waimea posted 131/10 off 32.4 overs with Joseph O`Connor top-scoring with 57n.o. as Boe Bamford took 3/17 for the visitors. In reply, Wanderers made 113 led by Andrew Beatson's 34, however it wasn't enough as Sam Baxendine's 3/20 ensured the host's win. Over the hill in Marlborough, Wakatu were rolled for only 86 in 29 overs as the Dolphins picked up a comfortable six-wicket win. Nelson College fared even worse as they could manage just 45 off 16 overs against the Falcons. Nick Weaver took the extraordinary figures of 7/16 as his side cruised to a seven-wicket victory.

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
