Simon Bloomberg Waimea Intermediate is “bursting” with a capacity of 640 students enrolled to start the year while Waimea and Garin colleges again have record rolls, reflecting the continuing growth of schools around the Tasman district. The district’s biggest primary school, Henley, is also full with a starting roll of 500, up from 476 last year. Richmond Primary will be starting with 438 students and will reach 500 for the third consecutive year. Waimea Intermediate principal Justine McDonald says their roll exceeds the Ministry of Education guideline of 625 for the school and all their classes are full. The school has been unable to accept out-of-zone students, including those who have had siblings at the school. “We are managing but we are having to maximise all our resources,” Justine says. Waimea College principal Scott Haines says they started the year on Tuesday with a record roll of 1577 students, up from 1503 last year. The number of international students has also increased from 50 last year to a record high of 60 this year. “We are absolutely at capacity now,” Scott says. “I fell really sorry for the 48 out-of-zone students we had to turn away.

Sarau fest celebrates tenth anniversary Jessie Johnston Another year, another Sarau Festival with 2017 marking 10 years since the first event. Throughout its decade, the Sarau Festival has continued to celebrate the blackcurrant harvest and continues to be a great example of community spirit, not to mention a generous supporter of local community groups, initiatives
and facilities. As usual, thousands of people turned out to soak up the sunshine, the entertainment and the variety of stalls. “It’s fantastic, I never miss it but [my friend] has recently moved into the area and this was on her must-do list because she’d heard how wonderful it was,” says Louise Wileman. “You see so many people in the community, the variety is fantastic and it’s all
on your doorstep.” “It’s really awesome,” says Emily Tibbs. “It’s nice and relaxed, we were particularly looking forward to the live music.” “This is our first time [at the Sarau Festival],” says Kathy Mason. “We were just looking forward to the live music and the whole vibe of the event, it does feel very peaceful.” Organiser Jenny Leith says
around 4500 people attended Sarau Festival’s tenth edition and that it was, once again, a very successful day. “It went really well, the day had a happy atmosphere, perfect weather, it was a great party in the Moutere,” says Jenny. “We also had a fantastic team of volunteers and it was great to see a number of young people in the community also come along and volunteer.”

“We have 14 new staff, including eight teachers, which takes the staff up to around 200 with 144 teachers. It’s a very big place.” Scott says they have been keen to attract more international students because Waimea has just three per cent compared to around seven per cent for most of the region’s secondary schools. “We are trying to attract more because our students live in a global society so it’s important to have international students - everyone grows when we share cultures.” Scott says the international students “are a good fit because they are all seniors who top up classes that don’t have big numbers. They are not taking the place of out-of-zone students who are trying to enrol at Waimea.” Tapawera Area School principal

Kelvin says that goes against trend of rural school rolls generally declining as a result of families moving to the bigger centres. “We are still getting urban drift

that may be a factor.” Garin principal John Maguire says they are also growing with the starting roll increasing from 505 last year to 530 this year, including 38 internationals. Garin also has 67 non-preference students who don’t have any association with the Catholic Church. Although Garin is growing, John says they have still have plenty of room because the school has a maximum roll of 670. John says he is looking forward to welcoming the 120 new students enrolled in the school. Murchison Area School’s new principal Andy Ashworth says they are also growing with a roll of 150 compared to 120 last year. The school has four new staff and is introducing “lots of new initiatives, mainly around small class sizes, use of integrated ICT within all classrooms.”

Nelson celebrated its 175th birthday on Sunday with reenactments, interesting talks, tours, singing and a cricket match. The anniversary commemorates the arrival of the first New Zealand Company Boat, The Fifeshire, on February 1, 1842. Celebrations were centred on the Stoke Legacy Trail, with family-friendly events taking place throughout the after-
noon at some of Nelson’s most historic locations. At Broadgreen House, actors enacted the challenges of being a domestic servant in 1860 at the Broadgreen Centre, while Isel House offered talks, tours, singing and lively re-enactments. Ghost stories were shared at St. Barnabas Church, and at Seaview Cemetery local historians offered a tour, where people could learn about the local identities who are buried there.

Riders ready for the Aotearoa Bike Challenge Simon Bloomberg The Tasman District Council has recruited riders of all ages, shapes and speeds, from the lycra-wearing racers to cycle trail cruisers, for the Aotearoa Bike Challenge which started this month. The challenge is designed to encourage people to leave their cars in the garage and get on their bikes during February. It will involve a number of challenges including one to see which business can get the highest proportion of their staff to ride a bike for at least 10 minutes. And the council’s biking-mad community partnerships coordinator, Mike Tasman-Jones, has been doing a good job of rounding up a decent-sized peloton with just over 50 of the council’s staff registered. However, Mike says he’s aiming for more and hopes to get around half of the

People can register for the challenge on the website lovetoride.net/nz and only need to ride a bike for a minimum of 10 minutes from February 1 to 28. Participants record their rides on this site so that organisations and departments can compete against those of a similar size to win prizes. There are six size categories for organisations with 2000-plus staff, 500-1999 staff, 200-499 staff, 50-199 staff, 20-49 staff, seven to 19 staff, and three to six staff.

Richmond hills gazebo vandalised Jessie Johnston After suffering extreme damage at the hands of vandals over the Christmas period, the Richmond Hills gazebo has had to be removed. “They’d smashed out one of the supporting structures and left two others in very poor condition with just the fourth one intact,” says Tasman District Council’s horticulture officer for Richmond,
Richard Hilton. “With advice from contractors, we felt that it wasn’t safe and even though it had been braced up, if any other vandalism was to occur, the roof structure could fall on to somebody, or, if the vandals were really enthusiastic, they could have actually sent the roof structure down the hillside.” As a result, the undamaged roof was taken off in one piece and is now being
stored at Rabbit Island. The rest of the structure was also removed and “when everybody’s back from summer holidays and things we’re going to have a look at how we can rebuild the structure using the original roof but make it a little bit more vandal-proof,” says Richard. “We’ll probably end up building a more open structure that people can see into, we’ll remove some of the
shrubs around it and make it a bit more inviting. I don’t expect it to be back for the next month or two but we do intend to rebuild.” Richard says it’s a shame that a few individuals decided to damage the structure in such a way, especially considering one of the Rotary members who was involved in building the gazebo originally has recently passed away, “so it’s quite disrespectful.”

Waimea Irrigators Limited has been busy over the past few months, progressing activities relating to the Waimea Community Dam. This includes the preparation of a shareholder information document that will be circulated to irrigators over the next three weeks. The document was created to provide people with up to date information on the proposed dam project and to establish the level of support from water users, in order to proceed to the next stage. Waimea Irrigators Limited’s project manager, Natasha Berkett, says the document also features a detachable survey for water users on the Waimea Plains and adjacent areas (including Mt Heslington, Redwood Valley and Lower Wai-iti) to complete. “The survey asks water users how many shares they would be prepared to purchase, based on the costings provided in the information document,” says Natasha. “The document sets out what will happen if there is no dam and how security of water supply will be significantly enhanced, if the dam is constructed, for those water users with permits that are affiliated to the dam scheme.” Natasha also says that it’s important for people to understand the changes to the Tasman Resource Management Plan, which will come into effect in 2018/19. The changes mean that water rationing is almost certain for everyone if the dam does not proceed. “It is critical that firm support for at least 3000 hectares (shares) is received in response to this document for the dam project to proceed to the next step,” says Waimea Irrigators Limited chairman, Murray King. This support will be sought from both owners of lifestyle blocks as well as irrigators. “Waimea Irrigators Limited, and predecessors the Waimea Water Augmentation Committee (WWAC) and Waimea Community Dam Limited (WCDL) have worked hard over many years to develop a viable long term solution to water shortages in the Nelson-Tasman region,” says Murray. “It would be a tragedy if we didn’t commit to securing the world’s most precious resource for future generations.” The shareholder information document will be circulated via a mixture of personal visits to larger water users, small group meetings and the post. Copies will also be available on Waimea Irrigators Limited’s website, which is currently being developed, or by contacting Natasha Berkett at natasha@ waterforlife.nz. The detachable surveys must be returned by the end of February.

Police urge drivers to take care: Tasman district police are urging motorists taking car trips this long weekend to take extra care, following three minor crashes near Nelson and Blenheim. Last week, police were called to the scene of a crash on the Kohatu-Kawatiri Highway, the driver lost control of their car and it rolled. Not long after this accident, two cars were involved in a crash on the Kawatiri-Murchison Highway. A similar collision also happened near the entrance to the airport in Woodburne, near Blenheim. While those involved in these crashes received only minor injuries, it is a reminder for motorists to always check their speed and to drive to the given conditions. “If you are unfamiliar with the route you are travelling, make sure to take your time and to stop regularly along the way.”

Hidden rocks all the rage Brittany Spencer
Collecting, painting, hiding, and finding rocks is the latest craze for children and their parents. Richmond mum Emma Gray saw the activity taking off in Whanganui and brought it down to Nelson, starting up the ‘Nelson Rocks’ Facebook page. The idea behind the craze is that parents and children get together to collect and then paint rocks before going off on an adventure to the region’s local parks to hide them for others to find.
Children are already spending hours hunting for the painted rocks and then hiding them again for the next people to come along. “We were up in Whanganui for Christmas and it has totally taken off up there, they’ve got something like 1000 members, but it’s going viral across the country, it's in Palmerston North, Hamilton, Christchurch and now Nelson,” says Emma. “It’s just something kids can creatively do and it gets them outside for what is essentially
a treasure hunt. It's great to see so many people getting creative, getting out, exploring nature and having fun. My kids love the whole process and will talk about who they think might find the rocks and how happy it will make them, it’s really great.” Rocks are popping up everywhere, from Washbourn Gardens, Easby Park, Oxford St Playground, Winston Park, Isel Park, the Modellers Pond, to Queens Gardens and the Centre of New Zealand. The only rules are to keep off
private property, seal the rocks so glitter and stickers don’t become litter and hide your rocks where they won't get in the way of lawnmowers or gardeners. The page has only been up since December 29 but already has just under 700 members, most of whom post photos of their children painting, hiding, finding, and re-hiding rocks. “Word is definitely spreading, I really didn’t think it would take off as quickly as it did in Nelson, it is pretty amazing now that I think about it.”
Volunteers needed for Big Beach Clean, Wednesday, January 25: After putting the word out for more volunteers to take part in the Big Beach Clean, Department of Conservation staff stay they have had some spaces filled but are still looking for people to get involved. At the last Big Beach Clean in November 2014, over 350 volunteers collected 3.93 tonnes of rubbish from approximately 300km of coast. The event is scheduled for March 4, with registration forms available from the DOC website. Anyone interested can find all the information on www.doc.govt.nz/ big-beach New design for trampoline park revealed, Wednesday, January 18: Nick Fowler says construction of Nelson’s trampoline park is much anticipated by members of the public, with people coming into Pro Karts every day to ask questions about the new attraction. Online bookings have also been popular with new bookings made every few days. Nick says they already have around 15-20 group bookings which is “really good” considering the park is still a while away from completion.

Century old tractors take centre stage Jessie Johnston Higgins Heritage Park roared into life last weekend for the Nelson Vintage Engine and Machinery Club’s annual show. “[Both days] went very well, I’ve just been talking to one of our regular men that comes from Blenheim and he said it’s always
a great atmosphere here at Pigeon Valley, another comes from Greymouth and he says that this is the nicest venue in the country that he goes to,” says park manager Alan Palmer. The whole park was opened up to the public with grain being threshed in one corner, vintage tractors taking centre stage, small
engines enjoying their shady spot, while the park’s jigger and traction engine were put to work taking people for free rides. The main attraction this year however, were three tractors, each around 100 years in age and having spent the majority of their lives in the Tapawera area. A quilt display was also on offer in the park’s library.

“It’s well-known to be a very happy event, everybody gets on very well and when visitors come to Higgins Heritage Park, the most common expression is “gee you’ve got a lot of different things here” and I think that’s its greatest value,” says Alan. “The next event at the park will be the transport weekend which is the first week-
end of March and then the first weekend of April will be a normal steam up day. The first Sunday of May will be the last steam day for the season and we are hoping to do some more threshing of grain, the army group will be putting on some action and I believe the local motorhome group will be here for a rally.”

e l p o e p d o o f h Y ou r f re s Motorhomes at Tapawera Area School for the weekend’s Music in the Mountains Rally.
Motorhomes descend on Tapawera The annual Music in the Mountains rally, organised by the Nelson-Tasman Motor Vehicle Association, has again put the small rural community of Tapawera on the map with 630 motorhomes and about 1200 people attending the popular annual event at the weekend. Music in the Mountains was hosted by Tapawera Area School and this year the feature act for Friday was country singer Joy Adams. Frankie Stevens and the Diamond Divas Show with All Star Band performed on Saturday while The Great Pretenders were on stage on Sunday. There was also the annual Walk Up Concert with guest speaker, author John Ellis and a Sunday Market put on by the community and motorhome owners. The Tapawera community also ran other events to coincide with the weekend, including the annual VAST Art Show and the Top of the South Tapawera shearing competition. The Nelson-Tasman MCA Area 70 committee, under the leadership of its new chairperson, Murray Finch, organised the rally which has grown from 100 motorhomes in 2007 to a record 630 this year. Tapawera farmer Brent Hodgkin-
son also did his bit to help out cutting a hole in one of his fences so that the extra numbers had room to set up camp which covered four rugby fields. “We may all be creating a monster,” Murray says. “The rallies are getting bigger, and so more space is needed to hold them. “But, I for one, am not about to put a stop to them. The reliability of the weather has also been a big draw card to the event - it’s never rained since being here. “We have people from associations all over New Zealand and, this year, even ones from Australia and Canada. There were 50 first-timers to the event.” The rally is the main fund-raiser for the year for many groups with the Friends of the School parentteacher group running the tea and coffee barista service and the second-hand book event. The Sport and Recreation group run the swimming pools and also cater for an evening meal, while the Tapawera Rugby Club put on a barbecue as well as providing showers. President of the Friends of the School, Jeanette Booth says “it was a chance to raise a large sum of money from outside the community for our children.”

Nelson mayor Rachel Reese marries long-time partner Andrew Board You couldn’t accuse Nelson mayor Rachel Reese of not keeping at least one of her campaign promises, after she tied the knot on Friday evening. At Rachel’s re-election launch at the Boathouse in June, she finished her speech with the promise to marry her partner of 12 years and campaign chairman Richard Harden, after the election. “You’ve made it possible for me to succeed,” she said at the time.
“And I promise you, as soon as this election is completed, we will find a weekend to get married.” The couple married at the Suter Art Gallery in front of 70 close family and friends last Friday. Rachel says the wedding plans were a “whirlwind” and came together in a matter of weeks. “We had a brilliant wedding day and we couldn’t be happier. We asked our friend Bishop Richard Ellena to marry us and he made our day very special for everyone who attended.”
An action packed week If you’re spending your Waitangi Weekend here in the Nelson region, you certainly won’t be stuck for things to do. Along with enjoying the sunshine and the usual local attractions, the region will also be hosting the annual Trafalgar St Market Day, the International Kai Festival and the weird and wonderful Nelson Buskers Festival. Trafalgar St Market Day will be held on Saturday, February 4, from 9am until 3pm. It's free entry into the market which will feature over 80 stalls including arts, crafts, food, clothing and more. The International Kai Festival will be held on Monday, February 6, from 10:30am until 3:30pm. The event will also include a Powhiri at Whakatu Marae at 11am. Held at Founders Heritage Park, entry into the festival is $2. A huge variety of international food will be on offer, made by families in the Nelson community. The Nelson Buskers Festival starts on Thursday, February 2, and runs through until Sunday, February 5, bringing the streets alive with world-class performances from national and international artists. The programme starts with Buskers on Trafalgar on February 2 and 3, 11am until 2.30pm and February 4, 10.30am – 2pm, which coincides with the Trafalgar Street Market Day. The adults-only Buskers at The Boathouse is on Thursday, February 2, at 8pm and Friday, February 3, at 8.30pm. Buskers at Fairfield Park is on February 4 and 5, at 6pm, before Buskers at Mapua Wharf completes the programme on Sunday, February 5, from 11am until 2.30pm. Audiences are encouraged to bring cash to reward the zany buskers.
Nelson mayor Rachel Reese and her husband Richard Harden on their wedding day last Friday. Photo: Supplied. The vows were exchanged at 5.30pm on Friday, and Rachel
confirmed that she will be taking her new husband’s surname. “Yes, it is Mr and Mrs Harden for my personal life. Professional life stays with Rachel Reese for a little while longer.” Rachel says her highlight was the best man’s speech, delivered by Richard’s son Joel. “It had everything, plenty of laughs and tears.” The newlyweds plan to honeymoon at their favourite camping spot in a tent before Rachel returns to run the city next week.
And for the record, the wedding was planned with the help of Kerry Aitken Solutions, Kate Coote at the Suter, Alison’s Bridal, Sarah at Willow Flower Design, Amber and Michelle at Hair in the City and Katrina and chef Cathy at the Suter Café. Musicians Carolyn Harvey and Tamsin Leenhouwers played during and after the ceremony and later in the evening Katrina and Her Band of Men got the dance floor underway before the Groomsman’s wedding party mix got everyone on their feet.

Tourist caught up in crime: While holidaying in your area, cycling on your great town cycleways, I came across a young tagger doing his thing on an underpass wall. When I questioned him about his actions, I received a smack in the mouth for my efforts. The police turned up quickly. While going through the process of mopping up blood and filling in police reports, a member of the public latched on to what the fuss might be about and pointed out which way the offender was heading. Suddenly I am in the back of a police car witnessing a cat and mouse game through the suburbs, with members of the public giving pointers and the police radio going for it. All this escalates into my police woman driver diving into a section and re-appearing with the offender in handcuffs. So even though I leave Nelson with a fat lip full of stitches, I also leave with a sense that there is an underlying good community spirit, a police force that is doing their best and a police woman who is my hero.

Today when I was walking along one of them, a cyclist passed me so closely that I felt the wind of her. One second different in the timing might have been disastrous. Cyclists who cannot be heard approaching must all give pedestrians a wide berth and a few notices along the way to remind them of their obligation would make for greater safety. Bruce Moon, The Wood.

I had no idea a job even existed in which you gave males brazilians, got growled at, farted on, scratched, occasionally bitten and are required to empty anal glands, until today. I walked into The Dog Spa Nelson thinking I’d have a couple of hours of getting sudsy and slightly shaken on by some cute puppies. But standing in front of the wash tub, what I got was a shivering wet dog that resembled a small/ short but very grumpy old man. I’d never realised how hilarious dogs look when they are wet until I met Roxy, a beautiful Jack Frost/Jack Russell-Bichon Frise cross that was misguidedly put in my care for the morning. Roxy embodied the term fluffball, but as soon as the water hit her fur she shrank to half her size and developed a grey old man’s beard. To top it all off, she began making a comical half-growl/ half-whine. She was not having fun and it's all on video for your viewing pleasure on nelsonlive.co.nz. But vengeance was her mission and shaking was her method, she covered me head to toe in sudsy water and, as if that wasn’t enough, she kept giving me wet hugs to ensure 100 per cent saturation, she even managed to slip

think we’re exactly enemies anymore. While I was left on light duties, dogs at The Dog Spa Nelson get their nails clipped, fur shaved or snipped and leave with a treat and a squirt of doggy cologne to entice the ladies. Much to my discomfort, coowner Nicky Fearnley also told me they offer an anal gland emptying service which was subsequently described in exquisite detail. And because I had to endure the step-by-step description I feel it's only fair that you too are enlightened. Dogs have “a wee sack by their poohole” that fills up with gunk which I am told packs a stenchy punch. The groomers job is to locate and squeeze the sack until the gunk, shoots out, however, the most important part of the whole process is to not get caught in the line of fire. This, Nicky learnt the hard way, “I had it all through my hair, on my face, on my glasses and I couldn’t stop gagging,” she says, laughing. Over 20 dogs from Malamutes to Chihuahuas patter through the doors each day and the grooming at The Dog Spa Nelson even extends to a Doggy Daycare.

On February 1, 1842 an old wooden ship given the name Fifeshire made its way into Tasman Bay after 137 days at sea, its landing 175 years ago was the birth of Nelson. Building material and some supplies had already been brought in by three colony ships in November the year before to help settlers get quickly established. The Fifeshire carried 159 immigrants, including many children. During the long journey
from England, fever broke out on the ship, killing 17 passengers. After dropping Nelson’s first settlers off, the Fifeshire was to leave Nelson for a trade mission in China. But it never made it out of the harbour, running onto Arrow Rock and getting stuck. The crew luckily made it out alive but the Fifeshire was wrecked, at least some parts could be used for some early settler houses. Not much of the ship remains today, but the rock in the harbour was nick-named Fifeshire Rock to remember the crashed
ship. Of course, those brave souls on the Fifeshire were hardly the first folk to live in the region. People of the Ngāti Toa tribe, which just migrated into the area in the 1820s under the leadership of the famous Te Rauparaha, lived here and in Golden Bay. But there is evidence of Maori settlements in the region from 700 years ago. The arrival of the Fifeshire, and following ships Lord Auckland, Mary Ann and Lloyds, came after the mapping of New Zealand by James Cook and the

Treaty of Waitangi established British government over the country in 1840, The New Zealand Company located Nelson as a good natural harbour and an ideal settlement location. When the first settlers entered Nelson they found streets, tents and building material already laid out for them by colony ships. Many of the early settlers came from Brit-
O S L E N
ain or from other European countries, hoping for a better life in the new colony. With over 3000 settlers arriving within the first two years, Nelson was initially one of the biggest cities in New Zealand. One of these settlers was Matthew Campbell, an English 27-year old foundry worker. Despite not having any formal education himself he was eager to educate the
N'S
newly-arrived children, for that reason he worked together with a group of people calling themselves the United Christians. Together they build a Sunday school which later, when it moved to today’s site of Queens Gardens, became a day school. Campbell became manager of this school and in 1843 co-founder of the Nelson School Society which build many schools
in Nelson and other towns in the local area. Campbell was so famous and connected with these schools that they were known as Campbell’s schools. He was active in local schools until his death in 1883 and often saved schools with his own money due to the Nelson School Society receiving little support in the early years.

Although many things were already prepared for the settlers, life wasn't exactly easy in the new country far away from their original homes. Much of the infrastructure was non-existent and basic services like schools or a fire watch had to be newly established. Though not entirely isolated thanks to the harbour, news and information took a long time to arrive in Nelson until Telegraph and, later, Telephone lines were built up. Looking for new valuable farmland, some settlers left Nelson for the Waimea Plains and Golden Bay. Towns like Richmond and Motueka sprung up soon after Nelson and established unique businesses on their own. Acknowledging Nelson's importance for New Zealand, Queen Victoria declared Nelson city a Bishops Seat in 1858. After that, the population of the city grew again and a search for new labour began, which was provided by chromium mines in the nearby mountains. The mining business soon fell into decline, but Nelson at that time already was an important trading and shipping city with connection to the whole world. By the late 19th century, all kinds of new businesses were growing in Nelson and the harbour supplied the whole north of the South Island with overseas goods. The mail service was not good at that time, with inland cities of the south island just accessible by small dirt roads and no
regular post service. But two brothers were out to change that. Born in 1850 and 1859, Henry and Thomas Newman established one of the biggest transport companies in New Zealand. Accepting their first contract in 1879, a mail delivery from Foxhill to Longford near Murchison, the company had a rough start. But in 1887 their first tri-weekly passenger and transport tours started from Nelson to Blenheim, after that the company just kept growing. Starting in 1911, the company also ran motorized vehicles and remained the one of the biggest transport companies until the 1960s. Henry died in 1919 and Thomas in 1944, but they left behind a great company which still exists today as a part of the InterCity group. The people of Nelson profited greatly from the transport innovations in the 20th century, making Nelson more accessible from the outside, and in that way enabling tourism to grow in the area and neighbouring regions like Golden Bay. The city of Nelson and the neighbouring towns were always well-known for the fruit and seafood industries, making it an important exporting city. In recent years, the wine industry and tourism make up the largest part of Nelson's economy. Since 1843 the arrival of the first settlers has been celebrated with an anniversary day and many special events. Over the years these have included the sailboat regattas held in Nelson, organised processions

Timeline of Nelson's History: 1842: Arrival of the first settlers on the Fifeshire, followed by a quick build-up of basic houses and infrastructure. The year saw the first school being built in Nelson and the first newspaper, Nelson Examiner, be printed by Charles Elliott. 1851: The first Anglican Church on Church Hill, which would later become the Cathedral of Nelson, is finished. The Church was expanded several times, but it was damaged by an earthquake and later a fire, in 1893 and 1920, making it unrepairable. 1853: First Nelson Provincial Council is formed for the newly-established Province of Nelson, which at this time included the whole north of the South Island. Edward Stafford, who later became Prime Minister, becomes first superintended of the Nel-

1870: First rugby game played in New Zealand is held in Nelson between Nelson College and the Nelson Football Club, at The Botanics. 1906: The Cut is completed which made accessing the harbour much easier. It was a grand engineering achievement for the small city, and the first boat, Rotoiti, which went through the Cut had over 800 cheering Nelson residents on board celebrating the event. 1914: First Nelson volunteers are sent to Europe in WW1, with
many of them having their first combat experience at the beaches of Gallipoli in Turkey which led to a disaster for the ANZAC Expeditionary Forces. Public opinion first mainly supported the war, until this disaster which led to major protests in Australia and New Zealand. 1929: The Murchison Earthquake hits Nelson and causes 17 deaths and substantial damage to buildings and infrastructure.

Schools are back… School is back and that means there will be more children out and about, especially in the mornings and afternoon. The basic message around schools is: slow down and look out for kids. In many places around Nelson electronic variable school speed limit signs will be turned back on. Reducing your speed to 40km/h provides for a much increased reaction time for a driver, meaning you can identify potential hazards and react much more quickly.
Pedestrian crossings are places where pedestrians should be able to cross the road in safety. Drivers need to slow down as they approach them and be prepared to stop. Students and families need to remember to use the correct place to safely cross the road outside the school. So be extra careful around schools and watch out for kids!
20 km/h past a stationary school bus Remember – the speed limit for passing a stationary school bus when children are getting on and off is 20 km per hour. This speed limit applies no matter which direction you are travelling in.
Drivers – school bus incidents can happen
on both high and low speed roads. However, the faster your vehicle is travelling, the more likely it is that a child will be killed if they are hit.
Parents – when dropping off or collecting
your child from the school bus, try to do it so that you are on the same side as the bus. This will cut out the need for your child to cross the road. Park your car well away from the bus stop or other children so you don’t block drivers, children’s or the bus driver’s visibility. Get out of your car and meet your child or walk with them to the designated bus stop.
Students – wait at the nominated bus stop
area and stand well back from the road edge. Bus stops have usually been chosen as a safer place to stop. After you have got off the bus wait as far away from the road edge as possible, until the bus has moved away. If you need to cross the road, wait until the bus has driven off and you can see clearly up and down the road.
Thank you.

Montana chases Olympic dream Jacob Page Sports Editor

Montana Heslop is not a teenager who lets things get in the way of her dreams. The 17-year-old former Waimea College pupil moved to Wellington on Friday to attend the New Zealand Institute of Sport and improve her chances of realising her Olympic dream of playing sevens rugby for New Zealand. Montana is fresh off her second campaign in the Tasman women’s sevens team at the national championships in Rotorua – which is no mean feat considering she needed special dispensation both years because she is under the 18-year-old age restriction to play in the tournament. Montana has taken a big step towards the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. “There’s a group of us who got selected for the Go for Gold initiative. From there it’s a two-month training block and from there 25 are contracted for the next 12 months." Fellow Nelsonians Jess Drummond and Risi Pouri-Lane were also talented-identified for the squad after also taking part in 2016.

sport, she offered to coach the Waimea girls’ team in Year 10. She moved to Motueka High School for term four of that year so she could compete at the Na-
tional Secondary School rugby competition. She made the tournament team three years in a row at the Oamaru Rugby Festival 15s tournament and has been driving women’s rugby at Waimea College school. The hard-working teenager admits to being worried about what will happen to her school team now she has left, but she is hopeful several Year 13 girls will keep it going. Montana says watching Jess make the sevens team for the Dubai round of the world circuit last year gave her the inspiration to keep chasing her dream. “Between Jess and the three Tasman guys who made the men’s team this year for the Wellington Sevens, it’s proof that you can make it from this region.” She says her move to Wellington will make things easier in terms of opportunities and being noticed, Young players will assemble for camps on a regular basis and she says there is a close working relationship with the Manawatu, which means she will be exposed to a higher level of talent on a regular basis. Montana will be part of the NZIS rugby academy and she says she has one thing to work on above all else. “Fitness is the key,” she says. “You can always be fitter for sevens.”

New Mike Pero Nelson Giants coach Alan McAughtry could barely believe the man he was receiving a call from was club legend Phill Jones. “I couldn’t believe I was actually talking about the role with Phill Jones,” Alan says. “I’m thinking, here I am talking to a guy who has caused us [Australians] so much grief on the court over the years.” The pair look set to help each other as Alan acclimatises to his role as head coach for the Giants in 2017. The 54-year-old, who is based in Melbourne, will arrive in Nelson on February 22 to get accustomed to an organisation he has had a lot of respect for from afar and a playing roster he’s had little-to-no part in putting together. Alan was so keen on the Giants coaching gig, the successful application came at his third attempt. Alan says not having much of a say in the roster is not a problem, he trusts

people like Phill and assistant coach Brendon Bailey to have a squad good enough to get the team back in title contention. “There has to be a level of trust there,” Alan says. “I’m a worker and I’m excited to be in a country I’ve not been in, coaching a franchise with a great history and tradition, in a community that takes pride in their team.” Alan has considerable experience both at age-group and senior level in Melbourne and says he tends to like the defensive side of the game. “Defence has generally been my role within teams but it’s going to be a case of finding a style that suits the guys on the roster.” He says he’s keen to work with the New Zealand Breakers to try to ensure Finn Delany’s progression continues. “I want to identify young talent coming through in Nelson – I want to spot the next Finn Delany.” Alan says he wants a team which respects the team and town they represent, plays a high skill-level, hungry style of basketball capable of winning championships. The Giants start their season away to the Southland Sharks on March 16.

Big step up for school beach volleyballers Simon Bloomberg Waimea College’s beach volleyballers are heading to Tauranga for this weekend’s national secondary school champs, although for many of the players it will be a case of chasing big game experience rather than medals. The college is taking its biggest-ever team to the tournament with 20 players, but coaches Josh Ovsenek and Dayna Whiting are taking a realistic approach, saying this year is all about development. Josh says many of the senior teams are still year 12 students while a number of the juniors will be playing in their first national tournament and will find the level of competition to be “a big step up”. “It’s going to be largely a development year. The juniors had a good tournament last year with two teams in the top four but it’s a big step up to senior.
Members of the Waimea College beach volleyball squad will be competing in Tauranga this weekend. Photo: Simon Bloomberg. “And for the juniors, it’s a learning experience although you never know. We got a nice surprise with our juniors last year so it could happen again.” Josh says the senior boys pairing of Tane MacDonald and Matt Heyward is probably the school’s top medal prospect after finishing fifth in their senior debut last year.

Basalaj flies local flag at midget champs Jody ‘The Professor’ Scott Michael Pickens picked up his seventh New Zealand Midget Car Championship, at Milestone Homes Top of the South Speedway over the weekend. The Aucklander is now level with Ted Tracey with the most individual wins in the grade. He is also the current Australian champion and he proved why he was the car to catch, all weekend. Michael ended the qualifying heats top on points, though he did have a lucky escape when running into an upside-down Neville Basalaj in the final heat on Friday night. Michael won the six car six-lap dash to secure pole for the 30 lap final, but it was never his until the final couple of laps. The veteran led the final race comfortably until the first yellow light came on in lap 10 for a broken car. A fumbled restart saw him slip to third down the back straight, he recovered quickly to leap back into second. He spent the next eight laps chasing the lead car of Hayden Williams before Hayden made a wee mistake and Michael grabbed his

The restart saw the multiple-time champion apply the blowtorch and the pressure finally paid off
and he grabbed the lead back with both front wheels lifting off the ground as he passed the pit gate. Hayden overdid it again to allow Brad Mosen through to second while American Spencer Bayson did the slide move to slip under Williams in the final corner to

claim third place. The track surface was perfect for night one with some added bite for Saturday’s second night which created some extra carnage. Nelson icon Neville Basalaj was leading in the final heat of Friday night when he clipped a car along the back straight, and as he
headed out of the final corner the tyre went flat, putting him up the wall and over several times before landing back on the track only forty metres from the chequered flag. Neville worked all night to fix the car and managed to qualify for the final race, but was down at the rear of the field. It was a Kiwi front row to start the finals but the four visiting Americans were only a whisker behind the pace, it was one of the best fields to compete in the 75 years of the championship. The Nelson Tigers have had to call on a couple of outside drivers to fill the team this year to do battle at the Palmerston North Teams Championships. Adam Groome, Scott McEwan and Dion Mooney will team up with locals Trevor Lineham, Ken Nolan and Jared Gray to fly the flag this weekend. The Tasman Thunder have named Michael Paynter, Keightley Teece, Brad Neiman, Adam Hall, Tim Ross and John Everett to contest the New Zealand Stock Car Teams Nationals in Gisborne next month. The team was second last year and hope to go one better this time.

Public notice of alcohol licensing applications Applications for new and renewed alcohol licences are publicly advertised on the Council website. The use of a website for public notices is allowed under the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act, and is good for the community and for businesses. The public notices remain accessible to everyone online and there are also links and information for people wanting to object to an application. Site notices will still be displayed on the premises to alert the public to an application. Public Notices of applications can be viewed at www.tasman.govt.nz/link/alcohol-licensing-applications
Sport Tasman advises that due to poor water visibility at the Motueka High School Pool, the pool will not reopen for the summer for public swimming. It stressed that this is a visibility issue and not necessarily a water quality issue. Staff have to be able to see the bottom of the pool to provide safe supervision, and at times this has not been possible. Other users, such as the Motueka Swimming Club and early morning lane swimmers may still use the pool.
Saturday 11 February 2017, 4.00 pm – 9.00 pm at Washbourn Gardens, Richmond. Tasman’s first night Noodle Market comes to Washbourn Gardens in February; a chance to sample a range of delicious ethnic dishes and celebrate our unity in diversity. The Noodle Market, organised by the Nelson Multicultural Council, will have 20 food stalls, familyfriendly entertainment, music and lanterns. Free entry.
Notice of road closure
Hard copies of feedback originals and summaries will be also available at Council service centres.
From 7 February, Queen Street will be closed to traffic from Gladstone Road up to the McIndoe Place intersection.

There is a public seating area where you can observe the meeting, with many of the meetings having a ‘public forum’ providing an opportunity to speak to the meeting if you wish. At the beginning of ordinary meetings up to 30 minutes is set aside for public forum. Each speaker is allocated three minutes. You don’t need to pre-register your intention to speak – just take your turn when invited by the chairperson. These presentations don’t form part of the formal business of the meeting – a brief record will be kept of the matters raised. Any matters requiring further investigation may be referred to staff by the Chairperson.
