Water rations put in place Colin Williscroft Rain earlier this week will have no affect on water restrictions put in place by the Tasman District Council.

The council’s Dry Weather Taskforce convenor, Dennis Bush-King, says the rain on Sunday night was barely enough to make a dent in soil moisture levels on the Waimea Plains and will have no impact on the restrictions, which began on Monday.

The taskforce, which met last week, decided that continuing dry conditions and increased water demand will lead to falls in the Wairoa and Waimea river levels, so it made sense to move to stage one

rationing for urban users and most water users on the Waimea Plains.

The stage one rationing, which means a cut in use by 20 per cent of consented water take levels, applies in the Upper Catchment, Reservoir, Waimea West, Delta, Golden Hills, and the Upper Confined Aquifer zones on the Waimea Plains.

The Wai-iti zone is also affected by dry conditions but water began to be released from the Kainui Dam from last Friday.

Dennis says users in the Lower Confined Aquifer, Hope Gravel and Motupiko zones will have another few days before rationing comes in.

Jump proves age is no barrier

They say with age comes wisdom and last Friday Wakefield’s Syd White put that theory to the test by jumping out of a perfectly good plane. It was Syd’s way of celebrating his 90th birthday and after his jump with Skydive Abel Tasman and tandem master Rod Davis he was all smiles. “It was the first time for me and the best birthday pressie I ever had,” he said, adding that the views from 13,000 feet were terrific.

Water rations put in place FROM PAGE 1 He says imposing stage one restrictions in those areas now is in line with the taskforce’s approach to managing river levels.

“We could do with a good dose of 50mm of rain in the right place, but this does not look likely,” he says.

“In light of this we have decided it is prudent to go to stage one now and preserve our water for as long as possible before we have to go to more restrictive rationing.”

Water restrictions are nothing new for the district, as they have been put in place for nine of the past 10 years. However, Dennis says this

summer was one of the few where restrictions have not needed to be put in place before Christmas.

The flipside of that was that they will likely stay in place longer this year, as weather forecasts predict warm, dry weather is set to stay for a while yet.

The Waimea dam planned for the Lee Valley would remove the need for water restrictions in a similar situation in the future, he says, as it would provide a secure water supply.

Watering restrictions are also in place for urban water users in Richmond, Mapua/Ruby

Bay, Brightwater, Wakefield and Hope, and their rural extensions.

That means only handheld hosing of gardens every second day is permitted according to house numbers – i.e. if you have an even house number you can water on the even number calendar dates.

Although the dry period began with full aquifers, Dennis says as crops start to mature the water demand will increase. Soil moisture levels are falling and were down to 23 per cent in Appleby, so the ground is starting to dry out, he said.

The taskforce meets weekly so it can act relatively quickly.

Dust closes Bateup Road for Christmas Matthew McCrorie Reporter

matt@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Drivers going too fast and dust were the reasons Bateup Road was closed over the holiday period, despite plans to keep it open.

Many residents were frustrated when Bateup Road in Richmond remained closed over Christmas and New Year,vv despite the council assuring residents that the road would be opened two ways between

December 21 and January 7.

Tasman District Council project manager Graham Rimmer said the road was opened two ways on December 21 but had to be closed again on December 24.

Graham said that “people were just driving too fast” along the gravel side of the road, damaging the work that had been done.

Another factor that led to the road being closed over the Christmas break was dust.

Graham said that several resi-

dents were unhappy with the amount of dust created by drivers travelling too fast along the road, which was gravel.

The gravel was watered three times a day but that didn’t make much of a difference, he said. The council was concerned about the opening of the road further hindering the progress that had been made, so decided to keep the road closed.

Construction is now back under way and expected to finish on time in March.

Boaties told there are ‘no excuses’ Colin Williscroft Reporter

colin@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Tasman boaties have been pretty well behaved this summer, although there are still areas for improvement.

The district, along with Nelson city, is one of 14 areas of the country that are part of Maritime New Zealand’s “No Excuses” campaign that began at Labour Weekend and will continue until March.

The “No Excuses” patrol was in the Nelson/Tasman area last month.

It has checked 266 boats in the Tasman area to date, with no infringements issued so far.

During last summer’s campaign two infringement notices were issued, one for excessive speed and another for not displaying a dive flag. There were also 18 warning notices given out for minor rule breaches.

Tasman District Council harbourmaster Dan Cairney says the majority of boaties seen on the water were conscientious and following safe boating practices.

However, all it takes is for one person to break the rules and there is the potential for tragedy.

Maritime New Zealand research in 2018 showed that of the

Tasman District Council harbourmaster Dan Cairney says wearing a lifejacket is the most important thing people can do to stop them from drowning if they end up in the water unexpectedly.

Photo Supplied Although the Safer Boating Forum, a formal network of boating organisations, promotes the wearing of life-jackets, bylaws around the country vary as to what the legal requirements are.

The Tasman district bylaw states that boaties are not required to wear life-jackets at all times, but they must be on board and worn in situations of enhanced danger.

In Nelson, all passen-

gers must wear a securely fitted life-jacket unless the person in charge of the boat gives express permission for life-jackets not to be worn, or conditions are such that there is no significant risk to

the safety of any person through not wearing a life-jacket.

This Saturday the Old4New life-jacket tradein team will be at St Arnaud’s Classic Boat Museum from 3pm to 6pm.

boaties surveyed in the Nelson/Tasman area, 60 per cent said they wore a life-jacket all or most of the time.

This was low compared with the national figure of 75 per cent, although the local sample size was small and so the result should be treated with some caution.

However, last summer’s “No Excuses” campaign found that in Nelson/Tasman, only 53 per cent of boats had everyone wearing a life-jacket when they were legally required to, well below the national average of 85 per cent that summer. Dan recommended wearing a life-jacket.

“We know that wearing your life-jacket is the single most important thing you can do to avoid drowning if you end up in the water unexpectedly.

“We will continue to promote the wearing of life-jackets as we know they save lives.”

World’s biggest ketch in Nelson Staff reporter

A monster ketch belonging to a Norwegian billionaire is turning heads after it docked in Nelson on Tuesday.

The ultra-luxury Aquijo boasts pools, a Turkish bath, a sauna and a crew of 17 to look after just 12 guests.

Built in the Netherlands for an estimated $175 million two years ago, it is available during the European summer for charter through specialised agents. It is understood the ketch belongs to Kjell Inge Rokke, one of the richest men in Norway, who made his fortune through his business Aker which specialises in fishing, construction and engineering.

Aquijo is the biggest sailing mega-yacht to come to New Zealand. At 86m long it is one of the world’s largest private sailing ketches, with a total sail area is 5000sqm - equivalent to that of half a rugby field.

Yachting World says the sociable main deck includes the dining room and main saloon, linked to the outside deck by an inside-outside bar.

“The yacht’s real showcase feature is the ‘beach club’ on the lower deck, which includes a Jacuzzi, sauna, hammam/Turkish bath, rainfall shower, and room for gym equipment, with an open walkway through to the transom swim platform.’’

There is a further whirlpool spa bath on the outer deck.

Its co-skipper Luke Hoskins is orginially from Matakana and has been on the vessel since last year.

He said that Aquijo was “an extraordinary yacht’’ which handled exceptionally under sail.

“It’s impossible to describe the feeling when you first bear away and she powers up. Everybody who sails on her is amazed at how well she handles and how graceful she feels.”

Since departing Europe in November last year, the vessel had covered more than 55,000km and experienced all kinds of conditions. “We sailed around Cape Horn in 50 knots and pretty big seas - albeit with only the staysail up as it was so windy,’’ he said.

Former Waimea student wins prestigious scholarship Colin Williscroft A love of marine life that began as a child visiting a Mapua aquarium has led to a scholarship for a former Waimea College student.

Alice McCullough, who is completing a graduate diploma in marine science at Victoria University of Wellington, has been awarded the Theodore Rigg scholarship

by Nelson’s Cawthron Foundation.

As part of the 10-week scholarship, Alice will be looking at the use of algae as feed in the aquaculture industry.

"I see a real importance in applying my research and academic knowledge in marine biology and environmental studies to real world applications that can be used to improve New Zealand practices,”

Goats Milk • Easily digestible • Good for cholesterol • Fewer allergens • Good source of natural vitamins & minerals

Available from: • FreshChoice Richmond & Nelson • Raeward Fresh Richmond • The Junction Cheese Shop • Mapua Country Store • Saturday Market – Nelson • The Pantry Door – Stoke • Nelson Farmers Market

Alice says.

As part of her scholarship, she is working with a group of people with the aim of publishing an academic paper that will provide practical benefits to the aquaculture industry.

“As a Nelson/Marlborough resident I am passionate about this project and seeing if algae can be used as a good source of feed for aquaculture purposes, an industry that is crucial to our region.”

It’s a region she is pleased to be back living in for the duration of her scholarship.

A former Mapua School pupil, Alice developed her interest in the marine world at an early age, visiting the Touch the Sea aquarium at every opportunity.

During one visit

she got to watch a 3-metre long mako shark being dissected.

That was the day she fell in love with marine biology, Alice says.

Alice paid tribute to her teachers at college, especially those who taught her science-related subjects, as they helped foster a passion for biology that she still has today.

Her message for students thinking about their own future is simple.

“Just go and do what you want,” Alice says.

“You can get there,” she says, adding that she did not think she was smart enough to ever win any type of scholarship, so if she can do it, others can too.

As for Alice, her plan, once she has completed her undergraduate degree, is to go on and do a masters degree.

Search and Rescue on an electric roll

Charles Anderson

Nelson’s search and rescuers are joining the electric revolution with a brand-new e-bike that will aid them in their operations.

The Hybrid bike was donated by local e-bike manufacture Frank Witowski, after he learned of the work that SAR does across the region.

“These guys volunteer all their time.

I thought ‘I’m only a little guy but how nice if I can do something for the community’.”

At a recent ceremony, SAR’s Sherp Tucker said that he met Frank when he was introduced to him by his neighbour.

Sherp asked Frank if he had ever thought about making bikes for search and rescue. He then got keen mountainbiker Aaron Hunter to see if the idea was a good one.

“All these people rode the bike and they were impressed because it never took the energy out of them.”

The idea is that if SAR is looking for someone, particularly on mountainbike trails, they do not want to be exhausted by the time Paul Bromell and Aaron Hunter of Search and Rescue with Frank Pomeroy, also of Search and Rescue. the find them.

Frank is in the process of modifying the bike before handing it over to SAR.

Lower Queen Street blaze: Richmond, Appleby and Brightwater fire brigades were called to put out a fire on a large pile of logs at TNZ Growing Products on lower Queen St at about 6pm on Sunday, January 13. They were later joined by tankers from Mapua, Upper Moutere and Nelson. The site was monitored by a forestry fire crew and the Nelson fire station as could burn for several days.

Power cut again: Power was cut to approximately 2250 customers in Appleby, Mapua, Mahana, Upper Moutere and Ruby Bay just before 5pm on Monday when a sheet of iron being transported on a truck blew up into power lines. The incident occurred in Appleby near the corner of Swamp Rd and SH60. Contractors removed the sheet of iron from the lines, allowing power to be restored at 7.20pm. It was the third incidence of loss of supply to the Mapua area in the last six months as a result of vehiclerelated events on the Appleby straight. Network Tasman said it recognises that traffic volumes on this road have increased and that is affecting the security of the power lines on this roadway. It is planning to improve the situation by creating an alternative route of supply that bypasses this section of roadway.

A warning for swimmers at the Waimea River in Appleby.

Photo: Matt McCrorie

Toxic algae warning for Wai-iti and Waimea rivers The Tasman District Council has warned that toxic algae in the lower Wai-iti and Waimea rivers has now reached high enough levels to be considered a danger to dogs and anybody near slime or algae in rivers.

“Toxic algae is natural and occurs during extended periods of low flow in rivers. The popular swimming sites on the Lee River and Roding River are not currently affected.”

Dog owners and parents with

toddlers are advised to take extra care. Algae is usually only toxic if consumed by mouth.

The council said anyone near those rivers should prevent their dog from scavenging or playing in or near the water.

“If you, your dog or other animals are sick after being in or near an affected river, consult your vet and the council immediately.”

The warning will be in place until further notice.

Summer movies make return to Washbourn Matt McCrorie The Summer movies Al Fresco are continuing again this summer, at several locations around Nelson including Washbourn Gardens in Richmond.

The movies are a great chance to get outdoors and enjoy the summer weather, as well as a great way to watch some classic films brought to life on the big screen. The cost is only $2 for an adult, and $1 for a child.

The Dawn Patrol (1938) is coming

to Washbourn Gardens on January 17, from 9-11 pm, as well as Oliver!

(1968) on Thursday, January 24.

Oliver! will also be presented with subtitles for the hearing impaired.

Bring a group and a picnic and come down from 7:30 pm to play giant board games, enjoy the park and watch the sun set before the movies begin. Remember to wrap up and keep warm.

If the weather is possibly wet, text 'Is it on?' to 021 77 66 23 after 7:30 pm.

Education grant helping women to succeed Matt McCrorie The Waimea chapter of Soroptimist International is offering an education grant of $3000 for women over 25, who live in the Nelson and Tasman region while they study, to go towards studying full time at a tertiary institute in 2019.

Soroptimist International is a global volunteer service for women working for peace and to improve the lives of women and girls throughout the world. Soroptimist International has a consultative status at United Nations.

The grant has been made every year since 2013. Education of women is one of the main focuses of the Waimea Soroptimists’ work since its inception in 1974. This grant has been the club’s main fund-raising focus for the past six years, says Diane Thomsen, the club’s secretary.

It is part of the Soroptimist mission to increase access to education for girls and women.

The 2016 education grant was

awarded to Kimberly Watt. Kimberly is now a registered nurse who is about to start a position as a district nurse. She did her final elective with the district nurse attached to Wakefield.

Kimberly said that her experience studying was challenging, but that “my family have been on this journey with me and have supported me to get to where I am today.”

“I feel humbled to have had the support of the wonderful women of the Waimea Soroptimist group who have kept in touch throughout the last couple of years.” The education grant helped Kimberly to purchase a laptop to help her with her studies. She is looking forward to joining the local district nursing team next week.

Diane says that “it is success stories like this that make the fundraising to fund the grant so worthwhile for Soroptimist International Waimea members.”

The closing date for applications for this grant is February 4.

ADVERTORIAL

“We are all working towards the same goal – happy and healthy residents”

Special care unit coordinator Teresa Churchill and clinical manager Jessie Tang love their jobs caring for residents. recorded on paper, but now care staff can immediately see the care plan in real time on screen. It’s all there and it’s individualised.

With this application, everything is at their ngertips and staff have more time to interact with the residents.

“Being a Ryman village we also offer a continuum of care in the village which means residents can move from independent townhouses and apartments through to assisted living in serviced apartments, resthome, hospital or specialist dementia care. We try to help our residents remain as independent as possible, and when appropriate, can even offer resthome care in a serviced apartment.”

Special care unit coordinator Teresa Churchill is another great member of the team.

Teresa had always wanted to nurse but after trying various jobs she chose to work as a care assistant at Ernest Rutherford, nine years ago.

While working in the village she studied for the New Zealand Certicate in Health and Wellbeing, advance support level 4, and also palliative care training.

After successfully completing that, colleagues suggested she train for a Bachelor of Nursing.

After graduating as a registered nurse, Teresa worked in the Ernest Rutherford hospital for three years.

In November she was appointed as the special care unit coordinator.

The unit is purpose built for dementia care and has 25 residents. With the small number of residents, the atmosphere is warm and friendly - like a family.

“We look at their abilities, consider what they used to do and what activities they enjoyed and then in conjunction with family, develop a care plan to suit.

“We have a lot of laughter

and happiness in the unit.”

The residents enjoy a dedicated activities programme, which includes intellectual stimulation and social interaction. Family and friends are always welcomed and often join in the fun.

“The residents look forward to music and singing,” says Teresa, “and I often end up dancing with them!”

They also look forward to

the regular walking groups around the village gardens and van outings and they love it when children visit from the local schools.

“It’s a really friendly place and it’s great to be on a team that get on so well. After all we are all working towards the same goal – happy and healthy residents.

I love my job and working with the residents. They’re just fantastic!”

Resthome resident Bill Leitch says “I like it here, everybody is kind and friendly and that makes me feel at home.”

Ernest Rutherford Retirement Village’s clinical manager Jessie Tang radiates condence and friendliness; her smile lights up the resident’s faces as she says good morning on her walk around the care centre.

That condence comes from years of experience nursing, rstly in London, and another 15 years working in aged care in the Nelson area.

She “fell in love with New Zealand” after visiting on a holiday.

On her arrival to live in New Zealand her rst job was in aged care and she loved it.

“The elderly are very wise.

Every individual has a lovely story to tell,” she says.

After six months in the clinical manager role she says it was the right decision.

“Ernest Rutherford is such a beautiful village. When I rst walked around the village and met the staff there was a great atmosphere – everyone said hello.

There is a lot of support. It’s important in any company to have a good strong leadership team; to lead by example, and we’ve got that here.

I can’t do this job alone. I have a very good team and excellent communication and support from all the management team. I also have the support of Ryman Healthcare with practical policies, continuing education and guidance.

If you get the right staff, you get the right care and then we have happy residents.

Clear communication with family, geriatricians and other allied health staff is also vital,” she says.

Jessie is enthusiastic about the exclusive myRyman Care app which is accessible on a tablet in every resident’s room in the care centre.

“I was blown away by this new system – it’s brilliant.”

Baby Space Why do you only provide for children up to three? Children of this age have specific physical, emotional and social needs. These are best met in an environment that is secure and predictable while still flexible enough to offer the challenges they need to build and practice new skills. BabySpace is very well-resourced and has a stable team of trained teachers who get to know the children and their families very well.

What are the children actually learning here? At this age we see big changes in the children’s sense of autonomy. This growing independence comes as they develop physical and verbal skills, and increasing social competencies like

turn-taking, problem-solving and supporting others. Our carefully chosen resources, safe environment and small group size support the children to fulfill their own learning potential.

What advice do you have for parents looking for a centre? Quality early childhood education is closely linked to small group size, positive relationships between children and the adults in the centre, and a low turnover of staff. Parents who are looking for a small group environment with a high teacher/child ratio and a very special atmosphere are welcome to visit Lynda and the team at BabySpace or see the website at www. babyspacenelson.co.nz.

How do you ensure a long-lasting paint finish?

Much of it comes down to the right kind of preparation, together with using quality primer and paint products. This will result in a longer-lasting job that will both look great and stand the test of time.

Is there a way to stop exterior paint from fading?

Choosing the right finish for the surface is important. Also using lighter colours in sunny areas will help. On-going cleaning of exterior painted surfaces will also help with both maintenance and the longevity of the finish.

Colourplus What can Colourplus do for me?

ColourPlus is your one-stop interior solution store that can take your home dream from concept to completion.

Our Richmond store team can advise and supply you with paint, wallpaper, blinds and drapes that will reflect the latest trends and transform your space into the “now” and “wow”!

Where do we start?

Start by visiting our store or have one of our consultants visit you in your home.

The first conversation you will have will resemble a question and answer session. The discussion starts with

“how do you want the room to look on completion?” Other guiding discussions will take place around “how do you want the room to feel?”, “What do you love?”, “What do you loathe?”.

Your answers will determine your style.

Some people really have no idea of direction or style they like but never fear, the Colourplus team are able to help you create one!

What is a common error people make?

Proportion and balance are equally important in a room, in interior design one colour or pattern is allowed to dominate the space and take the focus, it is not called a feature wall for nothing!

Can my Heat Pump also cool?

Yes. Most New Zealand AC installations are for heating, so we have adopted the name “Heat Pump,” when they heat and cool. Just select the “COOL” or snowflake symbol from the “Mode” button on your remote, set the temp to around 18-20 deg, fan speed to Auto and wait for the cool air.

Does my AC unit use more power on cooling?

Your AC unit on cooling is not as efficient as on heating so it will use more power to cool than to heat. Just make sure you close windows and doors in the area you are wanting to cool or it’s

Should I have my AC unit serviced?

You should clean the filters on the indoor unit every month or so, depending on use. Cooling mode produces water from the indoor unit, this can lead to mould and fungi build up if not treated.

Every 1-2 years, a service to ensure drains are clear and your unit is working as it should, is a good way to ensure you will have trouble free heating and cooling.

Top Tips To Get Your Home Ready For The Market De-clutter - This is a must before going on the market. General clutter can create the illusion that a room is a lot smaller & lacking storage & this can ultimately be a make-or-break for some buyers. Eliminating personal possessions is also key - buyers need to be able to envision themselves living in the property.

The Great Outdoors - A well-presented garden can add great value to any home. Creating an inviting outdoor space can be as simple as mowing the lawn, pruning overgrown plants

Avoid over-spending on renovations - Sometimes people will look to renovate their home prior to selling with the intention of adding extra value. However it pays to tread carefully, mammoth makeovers are very risky and it’s best not to try and anticipate what buyers want in terms of décor & design.

Skatepark tour on again Place for Plants How do I keep in moisture?

We recommend Saturaid Granular Soil Wetter and Yates Water Crystals. Both products are applied to the soil in your garden and pots and absorb water.

They swell to many times their size and gradually release water to the roots.

Saves on watering.

Does mulching help conserve water?

Yes. Applying mulch after a heavy rainfall or good watering prevents evaporation. Tui Mulch & Feed contains Saturaid, Blood and Bone, Sheep Pellets and straw. Apply this product over your

garden and get the benefit of a mulch and food at the same time.

What is the best method of watering?

A good soaking twice a week is far better than a daily light watering. You want the roots to establish and look for water so the deeper the water the further the roots will go. Surface watering keeps the roots at the top and they become much weaker.

The Nelson Tasman Skatepark Tour is on again, offering the chance for skateboarders, BMX and scooter riders the opportunity to show off their skills against other contestants.

Reserve on Wednesday from 5pm to 7pm. It is due at the Richmond Skatepark at Jubilee Park on Saturday from 3pm to 5pm, before it winds up at the Nelson Skatepark at Neale Park on Sunday from 3pm to 6pm.

The Richmond Library will begin extending their opening hours to open on a Sunday between 1 and 4pm from January 20 onwards.

Libraries manager Glennis Coote says that the extended hours give more people a chance to get to the library, including

library members who don’t have the time to get there during the week.

The idea to extend the hours came directly from library member feedback, carried out in a survey in 2017 in which users said that they wanted the library to extend their opening hours. The library has taken on two additional

staff members in order to help facilitate the new extended hours.

There will be a special opening on the January 20 to celebrate the new opening hours. There will be lucky dips for kids, prizes and giveaways, and Richmond Mayor Richard Kempthorne will be there to welcome library members.

WEDNESDAY 16 January 2019

Junior doctors’ strike causes surgery delays Sara Hollyman Patients expecting to have non-urgent elective surgeries or scheduled outpatient appointments at Nelson Hospital over the past two days have more than likely been delayed.

At 7am on Tuesday, a 48-hour nationwide strike began by Resident Medical Officers who are covered by the New Zealand Resident Doctors’ Association (NZRDA) collective employment agreement.

Resident Medical Officers are registered medical practitioners who range in experience from first-year qualified doctors to those with more than 12 years’ experience.

The doctors’ employment agreement expired nearly a year ago and NZRDA national president Dr Courtney Brown says after nearly a year of bargaining there are still significant claw-backs for resident doctors.

“Whilst in 2018 most health workers gained improvements to terms and conditions of employment without facing claw-backs, the DHBs have taken a distinctly different approach to resident doctors. It feels like they are punishing us for our successful safer hours campaign.”

NZRDA senior advocate David

Munro says they entered negotiations last week with District Health Boards which were some of the least productive he’s seen in his 30 years as an industrial advocate.

“DHB’s were quite disrespectful of the resident doctors and the issues they are facing, so needless to say negotiations were unsuccessful.”

David says some doctors around the country chose to get out and picket, although there were no known sites in Nelson, but others were using the time for some much-needed rest time.

“Ironically, the strike is about the long hours and the fact that DHB’s haven’t been recruiting enough doctors to cover that work time.

“Many RMO’s are using this time to rest and recuperate and spend time with family and friends.” A Nelson Marlborough Health spokesperson said last week that they did not know how many RMO’s would be participating in the strike, but contingency plans were being put in place to minimise disruption to the public during the planned strike.

“Nelson Marlborough Health employs 96 RMOs; not all are NZRDA members – around 82 per cent are union members (ither of NZRDA or STONZ).”

Macca Springer and Emma Silke-French claimed first place in their fashion categories.

Fashion rules at the Richmond racetrack Sara Hollyman Reporter

No race day is complete without a fashion competition for best attire and Tasman didn’t hold back on Sunday at the annual Summer Festival Harness Racing at Richmond The competition saw everything from the classic Little Black Dress to greens, blues and the ultimately top fashion pick of a bright yellow and pink dress.

The men’s category offered just as much variety, with a classic tweed suit winning out over the more flamboyant stripe

and shorts options.

Emma Silke-French purchased her gorgeous yellow and pink dress online and made everything else work with it and judge Ange Leonard said she was definitely “the whole package”.

“I think yellow was the colour this year, there was just something about it that was nice and vibrant.”

Ange, along with fellow judges Yvonne Bowater and Claire Scott, took in the whole outfit right down to the shoes and the head pieces.

Macca Springer was sitting down for a coffee with his parents when they bought up the

idea of entering the competition.

He took out first place in the men’s category with his tweed suit from Nelson Tailors Menswear. “They sorted me out with an outfit. They put it together and I tried it on, and we all just thought ‘yip, that looks good’.”

Ange says Macca’s outfit was something “very different” to what they’ve had on the podium in previous year.

“I just loved his suit and the cheese cutter hat, it was very cool.”

The winners took home a share of $3000 worth of prizes from local fashion stores.

FOOTBALL: Tasman United has got its postChristmas season off to a stunning start after knocking off the Hamilton Wanderers 3-2 in Auckland on Sunday for just its second win of the campaign. Tasman striker Ryan Worrall opened the scoring with a penalty before Ahmed Osman put Tasman 2-0 up after 26 minutes. Hamilton replied in the second with two quick scores to lock it up before Ahmed slotted his second and sealed the victory in the 71st.

Tasman travel to Blenheim this weekend as they take on the fourth-placed Team Wellington.

CRICKET: While leading team Dolphins had a bye, the bottom-placed Wakatu chose this round to upset the Falcons in Blenheim and secure their first win. Stoke Nayland required some heroics to overcome a staunch Nelson College effort while ACOB easily defeated WTTU to gain valuable points in a crucial matchup. Although Stoke Nayland were the favourites over Nelson College at Ngawhatu, it finished up being a very close-run encounter. In Blenheim, the Falcons grafted their way to a competitive 203-8 on a demanding wicket but were unable to contain the previously under-achieving Wakatu batting line-up who reached their target for the loss of seven wickets in the 46th over.

Matthew McCrorie Reporter

Dominik Berghamer The summer is in full swing, and the water is heating up a little more every day. Usually, this time of the year is not particularly good for snapper fishing because the majority of them are still busy with spawning. But, apparently, a lot of them didn’t get the memo this year. The Dawnbreakers Fishing Club is still getting reports of good snapper catches, especially out of depths between 35 and 40 metres. Burley and patience appear to be the key to success.

The kingies seem to like the warm water, and we are seeing catches from all over the bay.

Classic hot spots are the spat farm, off the boulder bank and every rock with a bit of current around it. Just a few days ago, I was driving home along Rocks Road when, all of a sudden, the water exploded next to some stand-up paddle boarders near Fifeshire Rock. Obviously,

Brought to you by:

a large kingfish was after some early dinner.

Trolling Rapalas and casting stick baits seems to be successful but many kingfish are bycatch when fishing for snapper.

They are very curious fish, so the aggregation of small fish around the burley cage and the struggling fish being caught attract them like magnets. Make sure your gear can deal to one of these green torpedoes as well when hunting snapper!

There have been a few rumours about tuna being caught at the 40m mark off Okiwi Bay but no confirmed catches yet, send us a picture if you get one!

The sun is brutal at the moment, so when you go out make sure you take enough water, hats, sunblock and sunglasses. Try to avoid the heat of the day and take lots of ice to keep your catch from spoiling!

Find us on www.dawnbreakers. co.nz or on facebook!

Tight lines!

The Nelson Harness races were a success over the weekend, says organiser Kristie Hill. The races took place on both Friday and Sunday, with around 4500 people turning up over the two days.

The weather was good, the crowds were good, and the betting was good too, says

Kristie. “We were busier in terms of people on the Sunday, but we found that we had more local businesses turn up on the Friday in the middle of the track”, she says.

There were some good wins, too. Kerryn Tomlinson had her first winning drive at Nelson on Zsa Zara, trained by her grandfather Ken Ford.

Kerryn is one of the Kidz Kartz competition graduates who “has struck success in

the professional ranks” says Kristie.

Kerryn’s older sister Sheree, also a Kidz Kartz graduate, reined home two winners, Zsa Zoie for grandfather Ken Ford and Soux Princess for her boss Mark Jones.

Both sisters were part of the inaugural South Island Kidz Kartz races held in Nelson 11 years ago and have now made their way into professional racing.

Dadndave storms home to claim Nelson Cup Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Punters will be assessing the damage to their wallets after the annual Nelson Racing Festival saw a number of upsets at the weekend.

Nelson's biggest racing festival attracts thousands to the Richmond Showgrounds.

While Christchurch enjoyed the share of victories on day one, the hometown horses came storming back on day two to take out the Nelson Cup. Sunday saw the weekend’s iconic 2400m Nelson Pine Industries Nelson Cup race get underway just after 6.30pm.

Dadndave nosed favourite Huey Lewis by .1 of a second in a thrilling marquee event as former Nelson trainer and driver Tim Trathen claimed the win.

The three-year-old had a great run home after being in the middle of the field coming down the final straight to pocket his owner $7500.

Tim says it was a big thrill to get the win in his hometown.

“It was great for Dad [John Trathen] as a past president and a

Nelson Harness Racing Club patron John Trathen with Dadndave after it won the Nelson Pine Industries Nelson Cup on Sunday. Photo: Sara Hollyman. patron of the club to get his first win, he’s been around a while so couldn’t have worked out better.”

Tim says his horse ran a near perfect race.

“We got away ok, the favourite took off but being 3000m I didn’t

panic too much.”

Tim was dead last with 400 meters to go.

“It wasn’t a big field but thought I better get going and he just cruised down the straight, where I asked for a bit of an effort and

he dug in.”

Tim says he was aiming to place but even surprised himself to finish first.

“I thought if he got a good run away, we might push for a place but to win it was just

unbelievable.”

Tim says he always tries to come up for the Nelson festival as all his family are here as well as a heap of friends who all cheered him to the finish. He says Dadndave will hopefully be back in 2020 to defend the title.

"My sister’s boy also won the fashion in the field, so it was a great day for the family.”

The punters were out in droves to test their luck at the track as the annual festival got underway on Friday afternoon.

Club president Kristie Hill says it was another fantastic festival.

“We had plenty of quality horses, great crowds and fabulous weather.”

She says about 4500 punters attended over the Friday and Saturday.

Kristie says the festival was made more special with a local winner taking out the Nelson Cup. “Tim owns the horse with our patron John, who had never had a horse win before so it was a very popular result.”

While the final figures were still being tallied, Kristie says they are on track to exceed the $117,000 spent on and off course at last year's summer races.

New appointments for Suburbs Jonty Dine

“It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, I do love coaching and playing but I also love working on the ins and outs of the club and trying to help the club go where it needs to be and push it as far as I can.”

Ryan says he plans on starting from the bottom to ensure the club has a strong foundation for the future.

“I will be working a lot with the juniors, putting things in place that improve the standards and

Nelson Suburbs has added a pair of its stalwarts to the management ranks as it looks to cement its status as the region’s strongest club.

Ryan ‘Skippy’ Stewart has assumed the role of director of football while Neil Connell will step up to co-coach the MPL side with Steve Bignall.

The club has taken on Ryan in the full-time development role.

the enjoyment levels for the players.”

The Suburbs star says he gained invaluable experience at Coastal Spirit working under Gareth Turnbull, who has gone on to coach NZ U20’s.

Ryan says the state of football in the region is healthy.

“Nelson has a lot of young talent, we struggle in a small town a bit, but we want to work with the players we have and not pillage players from all over the place.”

He says the more they can improve the players at the club the more the region will improve.

“We are trying not to be narrowminded and want to bring players through to the play at the highest level which comes through club.”

With player/coach Ben Wright stepping down, Suburbs has appointed another long-serving club member to the coaching ranks.

Neil will assume the role with Steve as this will be the latter’s last year in charge of the senior side.

“I’m only going to be here overseeing what Neil does, Neil will be taking the majority of training sessions and eventually I will get out of the way,” Steve says.

“This will be my last season, so I will just be looking to help him out

as much as possible.”

Neil will hang up his playing boots to take on the role and says he is relishing the challenge.

He says, like he did as a player, he hopes to instil determination in his side.

“I was always a fighter on the pitch, never the best player but I would do whatever it takes to win.”

Suburbs will lose the key duo of Mat Todd Smith and Bertie Fish who are moving to Wellington, so Neil and Steve say there will be an element of rebuilding and looking to the future. “We have still got a lot of good players in Sam Ayers, James McClay, Ed Sillars, Jordan Yong and Corey Wilson.”

Steve says the goal is to better its fourth placed MPL finish last season.

The Westmeat NZ Super Stock GP was a marathon for driver and machine.

The hot Nelson sun greeted the drivers at Milestone Homes Top of

the South Speedway as the title was squeezed into a one day event.

Consent issues and lack of council motivation meant the Speedway club had little choice but to abandon the event as a two day meeting.

But judging by the huge crowd that attended the six hour event, there is strong community support for the speedway club and the many busi-

The GP kicked off at 5pm with two groups running heats to find the top 26 drivers to contest a 3 race final. It was the Rees brothers Asher and Ethan who topped the points after the group stage but Ethan ran into trouble in the first final race ending his chances of a podium finish. The track was baking in the summer heat, a quick grade and some water was needed to keep the track in race condition as the finals got underway.

There were some whoopsies in the final heats as the cars sprinted round the tight Nelson circuit. Local driver Alex Hill made up plenty of places in the first heat only to get caught in the second heat with a car flying across the top of his bonnet.

Brett Nicholls placed 9th at the NZ title the previous week but was another who found trouble in the early heat.

The Youth Ministocks marched a procession to the tower following a few infringements on the track, there were many visiting driver’s making for some competitive racing.

The meeting was one of the longest on record but the track held up and the winner was found after a huge week of racing for many of the travelling drivers.

It was a successful meeting that had a huge crowd hoping for more events in the future. The NZ title is a few years away from returning here, hopefully the resource consent issues are sorted by then and the track can get on with the job of putting on the sort of spectacular show that the speedway club has become famous for over recent years.

It was pretty much sprint racing all night, none of the big wind-off ’s that featured in the final the week earlier. Scott Joblin made inroads in the early heats and his pole start in the final heats meant everybody had to catch him. Asher Rees tried valiantly from the rear grid but ran out of laps to make enough passes and finished a point behind Scott in the overall points. There was a tie between current 3NZ Simon Joblin and former 3NZ Jordan Dare for 3rd spot.

Water restrictions in force

Summer Movies Al Fresco

Water restrictions are now in effect for urban residents and businesses in Richmond, Brightwater, Hope, Wakefield, Mapua and Ruby Bay.

• The Dawn Patrol: Thursday 17 January, Washbourn Gardens, Richmond.

• Courage of Lassie: Sunday 20 January, Saltwater Baths, Motueka.

• Dr. Strangelove Wednesday 23 January, Jester House, Tasman.

• Oliver!

Thursday 24 January, Washbourn Gardens, Richmond.

Skatepark Tour (free event)

The Stage One restrictions mean a sprinkler ban for urban areas. Urban residents and businesses may only water productive gardens on alternate days using handheld hosing. Those with even house numbers may water on even calendar dates, and those with odd house numbers may water on odd calendar days.

Rural permit holders in the Upper Catchment, Reservoir, Waimea West, Delta, Golden Hills, and the Upper Confined Aquifer zones of the Waimea Plains are also required to cut their water use by 20% of their consented take.

Please conserve water as much as possible. Only water your garden at cooler times of day and only if you absolutely need to. There are a lot of simple things you can do to save water and every drop you save helps sustain our water sources.

Sprinkler ban for urban areas in force.

WHEN YOU HAVE A FULL LOAD. Find more ways to save water at: www.tasman.govt.nz/link/water-tips.

• Wednesday 16 January, Brightwater, 5.00 pm – 7.00 pm.

• Saturday 19 January, Richmond, 3.00 – 5.00 pm.

• Sunday 20 January, Nelson, 3.00 – 6.00 pm.

Celebrate Sunday opening at Richmond Library Join us at Richmond Library for its first day of Sunday opening, 1.00 pm – 4.00 pm on Sunday 20 January.

Temporary reservations and speed limit uplifting for maritime events between 19 January and 31 March 2019.

In 30 years there will need to be an extra 6300 houses in Tasman. We also need to find space for the expected 500 new businesses that will want to start up in our area.

That’s a lot of new properties, so we need to start planning where they should go.

The Future Development Strategy From 23 January to 11 February 2019, we’ll be consulting on the Future Development Strategy in partnership with Nelson City Council. The strategy is a joint NelsonTasman overview of where development of future homes and businesses should take place.

Find out more Head to www.tasman.govt.nz for more information, or check out the next edition of Newsline for details of how to get involved.

Dry: Drying kills didymo but even slightly moist items can harbour didymo and other microscopic pests for months.

Make sure the item is completely dry to the touch, inside and out, then leave dry for at least another 48 hours before you use it again.

Where should we grow from here?

Consultation closes 25 January 2019

Find details for all of our current consultations at www.tasman.govt.nz/feedback.

You will need to soak absorpent materials such as lifejackets, wetsuits and boots for longer to allow thorough saturation.

Proposed Age-Friendly Policy We want your views on our proposed Age-Friendly Policy, which will guide our planning to explicitly consider the needs of the growing number of older residents in our communities.

The proposed policy sets goals and objectives across a range of areas where the Council has a role in developing an age-friendly community.

Clean: Clean all items for at least one minute with a five percent solution of biodegradable dishwashing liquid – about a tablespoon of detergent per 250 millilitres.

Last year Tasman District Libraries carried out a library user survey, in which participants said they wanted Richmond Library to be open seven days a week. As a result, from Sunday 20 January Richmond Library will open from 1.00 pm – 4.00 pm every Sunday.

This is an important conversation for our community, and we want to hear your views. Please take the opportunity to play a part in planning for the future of Nelson-Tasman.

HAVE YOUR SAY:

Unwanted freshwater pests such as didymo, lake snow, and hornwort pose a serious threat to our rivers, streams and lakes. Once in a waterway they can disperse rapidly and destroy the environmental, recreational and aesthetic values of our rivers and lakes.

If you are moving between rivers or lakes, please check, clean and dry any equipment that has come into contact with the water. Some freshwater pests are microscopic and can be spread by a single drop of water. Even if you can’t see the danger you could be spreading it.

Nelson and Tasman are growing fast and soon we will need more houses for people to live in, places for people to work and earn a living, and spaces for relaxation, exercise and community events.

ONLY USE THE

With the summer holiday season now underway, it’s important to remember to clean equipment between waterways to avoid the spread of unwanted freshwater pests including the invasive alga didymo.

The Skatepark Tour returns to the region this summer, showcasing the best talent on skateboards, BMX and scooters. Helmets are compulsory for all competitors. Visit www.tyc.co.nz for more information.

It will be a special day at the library, with lucky dips for kids, prizes, giveaways, cake and more. Tasman Mayor Richard Kempthorne will be on hand to greet the first visitors through the door.

There are lots of simple ways you can conserve water – and every drop helps.

Clean, Check, Dry to stop the spread of didymo

For more information about didymo and freshwater pests visit www.mpi.govt.nz/check-clean-dry.

Maritime events Tasman District Council Harbourmaster has/may soon grant authorisations for the following events during the holiday period. Due to navigation safety requirements, water users not involved in these events may be excluded from defined areas during these activities. Notices will be placed at nearby access points during these events.

Further details for these and any new events may be viewed at www.tasman.govt.nz/link/maritime-events.
