River algae kills pet puppy Page 14

Andrew Board

A family puppy died last week after it was poisoned by toxic algae, the first known case of its kind in the Waimea River. Wakefield’s Stacey and Katie Lines took their two children and two eight month old puppies to the Waimea River, at Appleby, last Thursday night for a swim. The whole family went into the river and after the swim, drove back to Wakefield.

It wasn’t until they unloaded the car that they noticed something was wrong with one of their dogs, Betty. “When we opened the car door she was convulsing. I just started crying and said ‘Stace, Stace, you’ve got to do something’,” says Katie. Stacey called the vet, rushed her into Richmond, but it was too late. Betty died in the car so Stacey turned around and came home. Katie says Betty’s tongue was very blue. “I can’t explain it, it was so blue like

she’d had no air.” The algae is called Cyanobacteria and produces the neurotoxin anatoxin, which is potentially lethal to dogs, stock and humans when ingested in large amounts. Dogs that are known to eat the algae are most at risk. The algae has been a problem in Nelson’s Maitai River for some time but not in the Waimea river until now. It is a naturally occurring bacteria and not the result of outside contamination. There is

little that can be done to eliminate it apart from waiting for the river to be cleared naturally by significant rainfall increasing flows. Tasman District Council’s Chris Choat says it is a concern that the algae is suspected of causing the death of a dog and people need to be aware of the risks. He says signs will be erected at major SEE PAGE 2

The glowing success of Brightwater’s Carols by Glowlight has kept the event going for more than ten years. Event organiser Denise Adams, speaking just days before this year’s event, says it is an integral part of the Brightwater community and that is why it has been so successful with hundreds of people turning up each year to sing along to their favourite Christmas tunes. “The kindy starts off with the national anthem and some really cute songs, so make sure you bring grandma along for that,” she says. The event is officially run by St Paul’s Church, with help from the local volunteer fire brigade and the local school. “On the morning of the event we have stacks of the community coming down to help, it’s just great. Glow sticks became a popular addition to the event once it was deemed that candles were unsafe. This Saturday’s event begins at 5:30pm and event-goers are encouraged to bring a picnic dinner. However, there will be some food and drink available to purchase.

Fake IDs too realistic Liquor industry want tougher consequences for frauds

Phillip Rollo While it might be more than just a rejection, the consequences of being caught using a fake ID are not tough enough, according to a liquor industry authority. Nelson Police issued a statement this week citing that users of fake IDs are unaware of the true consequences that come with this particular form of fraud. The press release says “it is an offence against the Sale of Liquor Act to make a fraudulent representation to a licensee or staff member. That is punishable by a $1000 fine.” It then went on to say that “more seriously, it is a fraud and the offences under the Crimes Act dealing with altering or reproducing documents or using such altered documents with intent to deceive are punishable with up to 10 years’ imprisonment.” However, when the Waimea Weekly spoke to liquor stores and bars, the response suggested the current laws punish those that sell it, more than those that buy it. One person, who did not want themselves or their business named, says they turned down a 17 year old with a fake ID just last month. The customer was caught out when he handed over his wallet. Behind his fake drivers licence was his gun licence, which said he was only 17. “He was onto it wasn’t he?” the person joked. “We held onto it, he wanted it back, but we called the police.” The minor told this business he had bought the fake ID for just $80, they say. “The onus needs to be on the person using the fake ID. If we serve him we get a fine, but what do they get? If they charged them $5000 then the problem would soon stop.” Others agreed that fake IDs have become too re-

alistic and it was much harder to detect. Star & Garter duty manager Katrina Baker says while she had not personally seen a customer use a fake ID, staff were finding it increasingly more difficult to prove that they are fake. Currently, if a business caught selling alcohol to a minor, the police make an application to the Legal Licensing Authority for a suspension notice. However, police communcations manager Barbara Dunn says businesses are not punished if they take “reasonable” measures to check each ID.

Region set Stage one complete for dry spell Cycle bridge across Waimea River links Richmond to Mapua Phillip Rollo

Summer weather will return to normal this year with NIWA’s three month climate outlook predicting a typically dry season. Summer temperatures are likely to be near average while seasonal rainfall totals, soil moisture levels, and river flows are also all expected to be in the near normal range. Nelson and Tasman can expect around 190mm of rain throughout the three months, which is a huge contrast to the 280mm of rain that fell in Richmond during the space of 48 hours last December. NIWA’s climate scientist Georgina Griffiths says while the outlook is based on 30 years of historical data, they do not capture the extreme events so last year’s prediction was still similar to this year. “Obviously Nelson got extreme events, but that is not captured in these 90 day overviews,” she says. “Because soils are unusually dry, soil moisture and river flows are forecast to be on the dry side.”

The first full stage of the Great Taste Cycle Trail is now open to the public, meaning it can finally be marketed to out-of-town cyclists. The final touches on the $250,000, 80 metre suspension bridge across the Waimea River were completed on Friday, officially connecting Richmond to Mapua. While there is still temporary access on Lower Queen St, due to bird nesting where part of the coastal route will go, cyclists can now pedal from Nelson to Brightwater or from Nelson to Mapua. The new suspension bridge across the Waimea River has a near identical design to the first bridge that was constructed across the Wairoa River. Tasman District Council development engineer Dugald Ley says they had learnt from the mistakes of the first bridge, which means the ramps have been built with a much lower gradient. “It gives us and the cycle trust something to market,” he says. “You can do a day trip to Mapua and back and this is bridge is crucial element of stage one.” The Government gave $2.1 million towards stage one of the project, with TDC adding a further $1 million on top of that. The Government’s funding was allocated under the restriction that it must be open by Christmas. While the bridge will be officially unveiled and named in January, it is now open for public use. Dugald expects that Mapua businesses will benefit in the same way Brightwater has during the past few months. A 20m suspension bridge across the Riwaka River was to be completed in the next week, along with a segment of the trail from Brightwater to Wakefield. The entire looped cycle trail is scheduled to be finished in 2018.

Thieves take van for a spin BRIEF

NELSONIANS REJECT GAY MARRIAGE: Nelson MP Nick Smith released results of his household survey which showed 1647 respondents (73 per cent) believed marriage should be limited to a man and a woman as compared to 575 (23 per cent) who supported gay marriage. Just under 13 per cent of the survey forms were returned. The Gay Marriage Bill was introduced to Parliament in August by a Labour MP and was referred to a select committee with a vote of 80 to 40. Nick initially voted against the bill but said he would be heavily guided by his constituents’ views in his annual electorate survey on the second and third readings of the bill. BIG DAY OUT IN TAPAWERA: This Sunday, the Tapawera Christmas Fair will combine forces with the Matariki School Garden Trail. The Tapawera Christmas Fair runs from 10am to 3pm at Hidden Sculpture Garden, 4854 Motueka Valley Highway. Entry is by gold coin. The Matariki School Garden Trail which runs from 10am to 5pm costs $10 per adult.

A commercial cleaning van was stolen from William St in Richmond on Saturday evening and driven around for several hours before being dumped in town. The Nissan van was sign written with the company ‘Echo Clean’ logo and was seen in the Buxton Square car park in Nelson during the evening before it was observed by the police and then dumped at around 2:30am on Sunday morning. A short time later the offenders stole a Nissan Primera vehicle from a Waimea Rd address. The car fled from police at speeds of more than 150 km/h along

Three Appleby fish ponds, used to teach youth how to fish, will officially open this weekend. The Sports Fishing for Youth Charitable Trust will officially launch the facility at its first scheduled event. Trustee George Bennett-Wilkinson was pleased to open after four long years. “I was fishing on the Pelorus River with a good friend of mine. We had probably 100 years of fishing experience between us and we simply couldn’t catch a fish,” he says, recalling the time he decided to pursue the facility. “If we had young people there, trying to teach them would have been like watching paint dry.” Around $5000 worth of rainbow trout and chinook salmon were released into the Tasman

District Council-owned ponds last week. The Sports Fishing for Youth Charitable Trust have a licence to occupy the land and pay rent to use the facility. It was up to “great supporters” to help finance the project. “We’ve been very lucky to have Fish & Game bringing fish up from North Canterbury and also to NMIT, who are a represenative as a trustee. But we have to come up with ideas on how to restock on the ponds so it can continue and to keep costs within reason.” NMIT’s aquaculture class has been involved with rearing the chinook salmon. Lawson Davey from Fish & Game says the project was limited to events but hoped that parents could bring their children in the future. At the moment, the program was restricted to youth age between six and 16 years of age.

Xmas comes early for young performers Phillip Rollo Hana Tava says she wasn’t nervous performing at Coca Cola Christmas in the Park, despite having more than 100,000 people watching her every move. The 13 year old Waimea College singer was one of two local acts that made their way to Christchurch’s Hagley Park for the weekend’s performance. The Car Company Origin Dance Crew were also invited to perform, having successfully made their way through the auditions. Reflecting on her rendition of Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Hana says it was “awesome” and that she got to meet heaps of famous people when she was there. “At the start I was nervous and then I just got used to it,” she says. “I just did what I usually do. I got to meet Jamie McDell, Dane Rumble and Drew Neemia. It was kind of scary performing in front of that many people but I’m so glad I did it.” Hana, who was dressed by Nelson’s The Rock Box, was part of a trio of singers, and also made a second appearance later in the show alongside a large group led by Frankie Stevens, Jackie Clarke and Michael Murphy.

Red, green and gold garlands hang from our stores canopies, our three reindeer peeking out from behind our Christmas tree, and the sounds of Christmas music echoing around our beautiful centre, this Christmas, Fashion Island is where dreams come true, smiles are heartfelt and children’s laughter is heard. Our stores have all their present ideas on display, our teams are full of cheer, the cafes, Italian ristorante and bar are in full Christmas swing, busy sharing Christmas delights and it is the perfect way to share this special time with friends and family.

Hana is unsure if her performance would make the television, but she remained hopeful. “There is also the Auckland show, so they have to show both of them at the same time. I don’t know if mine is on yet.” Her next big performance will be at Opera in the Park early next year. Origin Dance Crew manager Gemma Laing says performing at Christmas

in the Park was the best way to end a long year. They made five different appearances, including one feature performance. “It was quite different for us because we’ve focussed the whole year on competition stuff,” says Gemma. “It was really cool.” Gemma believed the girls’ chances of being on television were higher because they took to the stage more than once during the show.

Artists share their passion Local artists had the chance to share their passion over the weekend, when the Tasman Visual Arts group held their biennial art exhibition. Artists from all over the region shared their paintings, inspired from a variety of subjects and created from all sorts of mediums from pastel and watercolour to oil paint. President of the Tasman Visual Arts group Jean Wells says the group did well out of the exhibition set up in the Richmond Town Hall, with around 16 paintings sold to members of the public over the weekend. While the focus is to share their work over selling it, she says selling a painting gives artists

the confidence to keep exhibiting and producing their own art. “Exhibiting your art is like bearing your soul, so it gives the artist more confidence when something is sold,” she says. “It’s great when a piece is sold because that art is then out in the community promoting the artist, and the idea of the exhibition is to get people used to enjoying art.” The group meets for workshops and weekends away, socialising and expanding their art skills together, and they use the exhibition as a chance to share their art and promote art within the community. Jean says around 250 people visited the exhibition over the two days.

Charity for Waimea College started with a beer As with all great ideas, it started over a beer in a pub. Prince Albert Hotel regulars Chris Gunn and Pat Wilson have raised more than $900 thanks to a bet over a game of tennis and the support from regulars at the Prince Albert. Last week they put that money to good use, donating two kayaks and lifejackets to the special education department at Waimea College. Chris says the idea started at the bar as a bit of fun but has quickly escalated, picking up the name the Prince Albert Charity Shield. More locals have organised another event for the shield, scheduled for February. “We were talking about tennis here one night and Pat said he used to play so I said ‘right, I’ll thump ya’,” says Chris. After the challenge was accepted the pair thought they may as well do it for some reason other than pride and organised a sweepstake. Then the other locals got behind it. One made a shield with the words “Prince Albert Charity Shield” on it, others took part in the sweepstake and around 40 turned up one Sunday morning to eat strawberries, drink Champagne and “yell abuse” at Chris and Pat while they “waddled around one Sunday morning attempting to play tennis,” says Chris. They all retired to the Prince Albert after the match for a

barbeque and auction. The pair decided to use the money to donate something to Waimea College’s special education department as one of its students, Scott Lowden, works an hour or two a week at the pub and his dad John is also one of the locals. They asked the department for a list of what they’d like and decided to buy the kayaks. Teacher Julia Roberts says the gift is fantastic for the school. “They learn so many skills from it, working together, unloading a trailer all that kind of thing, we try to stand Prince Albert Hotel regulars Chris Gunn and Pat Wilson, right, with the chalback as much as possible. So this lenge shield they created and one of the kayaks they donated to the special donation will be great for the stu- needs department at Waimea College.

They’ll do another sweepstake and auction and find While the first charity shield challenge involved just Chris another charity locally to take the money off us. Hopefully and Pat the next one looks as if it will be open to a lot we’ve started something that will put the pub on the map,” more people and may involve a triathlon, complete with Chris says.

Just a thought: A response to arson It was around six months ago in the midst of three weeks of missions work in Zimbabwe, Africa that Vanessa and I received that dreaded phone call saying that we had lost our home, garage, possessions and some much loved pets in an arson attack on our family home in Richmond. The three day trip home to our children and the few months after that seemed to be a roller coaster of emotion, police, insurance and trying to get our heads round why someone would do such a devastating thing. In the blur of it all what strikes me though is the huge support and encouragement that came from all fronts. Friends, family, church family, many other churches around our region, and strangers in our

community and beyond blew us away with their cards, phone calls, meals, and practical gifts and support like we had never experienced before. We would like to express again our huge gratitude to so many who poured out their love and help around this time. Life is full of great joys but also great pain. God tells us in the bible that sin and pain entered the world when Adam and Eve disobeyed God and ever since then sin and evil has had a hold on this world and has huge implications on all mankind. We don’t need to look far to see the impact of evil people, and selfish ambitions on others around. The great news though is that God sent his son Jesus to break the hold

of sin separating us from God and to make a way for us to be forgiven and to know our Creator. Jesus said in the bible in John 10:10 “The thief (Satan) comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I (Jesus) have come that they Jono Martin, may have life, and have it Richmond to the full.” New Life. It seems strange to say but in the midst of the grief and loss we have and are experiencing as a family, our personal relationship with God though his son Jesus has enabled us to have a peace that would not come naturally in this type

of circumstance. It doesn’t take away from the difficulty but it means we don’t face it alone. I am reminded that Jesus teaches us in the bible that this life is not the end. It does not finish here. In fact this life is merely a preparation for an eternity that is to come. Today as you face the joys, the challenges and pain that life brings your way I encourage you to invite Jesus to help you and to walk with you. Please don’t do life alone. Why don’t you pop along to a local church this Sunday and ask someone there to tell you how to have a personal relationship with God your creator though Jesus his Son. This is what you were created for. This is what your life has been building towards.

Gr wing Things

With Robyn Hollis

look rather average to say the least…. however, we all have different skills! Keep up the good work kids and others - I hope to be back next year. Back in the garden the wind is blowing – hard! Hopefully most of the broad beans have been harvested so won’t be too blown around, but do look out for the newly planted tomatoes and also sweet peas and clematis will need to be firmly tied up so as not to snap off at the base. Check the stakes of any newly planted trees and ensure the ties are firm and not chafing the bark in these strong gusts. Those of you with hanging baskets will need to water these daily and if necessary, take them down in the worst of the winds and pop them in a sheltered part of the deck for a rest. Sphagnum moss is my pick for a lining in these as it holds 20 times it’s own weight in water and also contains a natural antiseptic called “Tropolene” which helps prevent fungal disease getting into the roots of plants, especially those at the base of the baskets which can get waterlogged in the early stages. I believe that in the first and maybe Second World War, sphagnum moss was used by the medics to cover the wounds of soldiers to assist in the prevention of infection, must be good! If your liners are coconut fibre you really need to place a saucer in the base of these, as this fibre holds no moisture at all. I recommend adding extra saturaid, and also some SHOWERS water storage granules to your potting SHOWERS mix (always hydrate your water crystals SHOWERS before adding to the mix – you only SHOWERS need a small amount and if you use it showers direct dry you can run the risk of it expanding to you!

As we go to print with this, the second to last column for 2012, I can’t help but reflect on the year and an old saying comes to mind – “the more things change – the more they remain the same”. Seasons come and go, fashions come and go, plants come and go, even people come and go, but at the end of it all the simple enjoyment of time spent with family and friends and the pleasure of “growing things” is really all that matters. Over the last couple of weekends I had the privilege of being invited to judge two of the Nelson Horticultural Society’s annual shows. One was at Growables Nelson – I loved seeing the beautiful displays of cut flowers, peonies and roses to die for – a daunting task to select only one winner in most cases! The other was at the Richmond A&P show. This always impresses me with the amazing displays from the local schools. Tables laden with sand saucers in a myriad of colours, vegetable animals – a regular zoo of them - beautifully decorated cupcakes with garden themes. The work and imagination was stunning and it is a real tonic to see little ones having fun with plants and growing their own veges etc. Good on the schools for encouraging and nurturing this very worthwhile skill. We have some amazing gardeners here in Nelson and some of the entrants in the vegetable section were truly superb – made my efforts

in the mix and literally creating a jelly carpet on the top!) Another tip with sphagnum moss as the weather heats up is to moisten it in a bucket and lay a mulch over the top of your pots and tubs to help keep the moisture in.

Tips

Thisks wee

• Start planting out corn, melons, eggplant and capsicums. • Check plants for the dreaded whitefly – very heavy infestations this year – neem oil spray or good old detergent is fine for these guys but do ensure you get the eggs on the underside of the leaves to stop the cycle. Also the water from boiled up rhubarb leaves, strained and sprayed is worth a try. • Get in the habit of regular watering – twice a week for an hour or so is better than little and often. Deep watering encourages deep roots and strong plants. Check all your irrigation is working and getting the water to where it is needed and mulch, mulch, mulch! • Lift your mower blades – a scalped lawn will dry out and crack over a hot season. Leave a bit of depth in the grass sward – this will assist it to hold water. Use clippings as a mulch in the back of the border. Slow down now as the “silly season” approaches – and take some time to smell the roses. With a cold glass of wine in one hand and the hose in the other you can achieve miracles!

Teacher wins coach of the year Phillip Rollo

Colin Redpath believes his coach of the year award is a win for the entire ASB Nelson Pine roster. Having just picked up the prestigious Canterbury Community Trust Nelson Coach of the Year at the Nelson Sports Awards on Wednesday, Colin was quick to mention the nominations his players had, before reflecting on the moment that ASB Nelson Pine were crowned kings of the court – New Zealand’s top volleyball club.

Tournament MVP Patrick Shone was a finalist for Nelson Sportsman of the Year, Finn Delaney was up for Nelson Junior Sportsman of the Year, and the ASB Nelson Pines were up for Nelson Team of the Year. “There’s lots of fantastic coaches but you need a team to get a result to actually win any of these awards,” says Colin, who admits he did not expect to win. ASB Nelson Pine won the VNZ Club Championship in August, beating competition favourites and 16 time winners Sparta in a five set thriller. The final was

held at the Trafalgar Centre after a week of matches in Nelson. “There were 25003000 people there, the whole atmosphere was great.” Colin says winning the VNZ Club Championship was a four year process that included multiple trips across the country for competitive matches and sometimes just to train. Four of the 12 Nelson players now study in Wellington, and part of the Pines’ success was the ability to bring some of the city’s top players together again. “This year we had a base in Wellington with so many

ex-Nelsonians there. You try to piece everything together without everyone in the same place, it’s an interesting one. We were sleeping on floors, booking the cheapest flights possible, just to get to Auckland and play the best teams there.” Colin has previously won the VNZ Club Championship with Christchurch club Shirley in 1993 but this was the first time a Nelson team had ever won the tournament. His coaching CV also includes a stint as the national men’s coach and roles with New Zealand age-group teams. But it’s clear his future is with Nelson and he’s hoping the Pines can build the same dynasty that Sparta has produced over the past 20 years. Team Seagate was the biggest winner on the night with adventure racing teammates Nathan Fa’avae, Trevor Voyce, Sophie Hart and Chris Forne picking up the More FM Sports Team and overall New Zealand Community Trust Nelson Sportsperson of the Year awards. Tall Black Mika Vukona was named Nelson Pine Industries Sportsman of the Year while lawn bowler Jo Edwards received the Westpac Sportswoman of the Year award. Takaka motocross rider Hamish Harwood won the ASB Junior Sportsman award with Emily Jensen taking home the Sport New Zealand Junior Sportswoman of the Year award. Waimea College’s under-16 double sculls rowing team-mates Sam Johnston and Sean Ducray won the Nelson Mail Junior Sports Team of the Year award and Phil Costley was named The Printhouse Nelson Masters Sportsperson of the Year. David Jones, Robert Winter, Rosalie Winter and Bob Cooke received life-time contribution awards.

WTTU seal two-day final berth Stoke/Nayland’s bold decision to declare at 49/8 in the first innings didn’t pay off, with the side going on to lose outright, giving Waimea Toi Toi United the top qualifying spot ahead of next weekend’s two-day cricket final. Harrington’s Beer Café Waimea Toi Toi United is now in the

driving seat, and skipper Jon Routhan, who took nine wickets during Saturday’s six wicket win believes the side has the perfect mix to win their second title in a row. Greg Hay and Ricky Edwards will return to the frame after Hawke Cup commitments kept them out of Saturday’s decider. “This

is a different game on a different pitch. Saxton Oval will play a lot better than Jubilee did for the batsmen,” he says. “We have got what I think is a really well balanced side. Stoke has obviously got a good bowling attack but our balance includes a handy top six and a very good middle to lower order and two quality spinners.” Because WTTU is now the top qualifier, it means Stoke/Nayland must win to take the trophy. Both sides have a weekend to rest before the final begins on December 15.

Scooters and (most) drivers survive off-road challenge Andrew Board The latest edition of the Survivor Scooter challenge was declared the “best ever” by organiser Jason Monopli last week. The survivor scooter challenge involves a group of riders hopping on a scooter and attempting to travel over some gnarly but fun off-road tracks. The event isn’t just about fun though, it raised more than $8000 for children’s charity Project KPH. This year the group of 12 riders took off from Nelson and headed through the Hira forest to Okiwi Bay. Jason says some of the tracks were pretty tough. “The hardest part of the trip was a pylon access track from Okiwi Bay. It was some pretty serious off roading and some of our support vehicles had to be winched

out at parts of that track.” The group also suffered its only major injury with one rider breaking some ribs and having to pull out. The challenge isn’t all about travelling on the scooters with various games along the way. This year the group did synchronised dressage on their scooters, played scooter soccer and jumped hurdles. There were also beach races and other events. Jason says overall the challenge was fantastic. “We had a great time, had great sponsors and support from the Nelson off-roading club. It was great fun and in the end we raised a really good amount of money for the charity, which is what it’s all about.” The challenge ended on Marlborough’s Ward Beach last weekend.

Some of the riders take in the views along the Marlborough Sounds as part of the Survivor Scooter Challenge last week.

The Waimea College junior girls’ volleyball team are the South Island champions for another season, with its latest crop of talent edging Marlborough Girls’ College by one set last week. For this current crop of players, it was an improvement on last year’s third placing as a year nine team. This year they only dropped one set in eight games and continued their unbeaten streak for 2012. The girls took the third set 25-14, having trailed 23-25 in the second. Waimea College took the first set 25-17. Coach Andy Laing says the stadium layout made it tougher when facing the audience, but credited Marlborough’s efforts to take the second set. “We dropped off a little bit. We always pushed really

strong in the first set but let off in the second. It’s hard to describe but maybe it was nervousness, knowing they were going to win.” He believes the continued success in the junior age groups would benefit the senior teams in the years to come. Some of the team would move on to the Senior A team next year. “It’s huge. I don’t think any other school has done anything like what these girls have done,” he says. “We worked bloody hard this season.” New Zealand age-group represenative Hannah Davenhill was named tournament MVP while Georgia Davies and Katie Ditzel were named in the tournament team. The Waimea College junior boys’ team finished second in their grade, losing the third set 27-29 against Marlborough Boys’ College in a nail-biting final.
