Wakefield Rest Home rescued Judene Edgar Reporter

judene@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Wakefield Rest Home has been rescued after the previous owners let the 21-room facility run down and fall into disrepair.

While one formal complaint was received and investigated by the

District Health Board which included “concerns regarding the provision of food”, members of the community have been stepping up to help look after the residents.

General manager strategy, primary and community Cathy O’Malley, says that a nurse practitioner and nurse educator investigated the complaint and directed corrective actions be un-

dertaken.

However, concerns from residents reached Tui Glen Rest Home’s owner Hilary Bird and registered nurse Margaret Helleur, who decided to investigate for themselves.

“People were saying to me, ‘you should be buying Wakefield Rest Home’,” says Hilary.

“We saw what a mess it was, and

we knew we couldn’t leave people like this.”

With ties to Wakefield that date back to 1842, the sixth generation Nelsonians decided that they had to act.

“It was in dire straits, so we approached the owners and made them an offer,” says Hilary.

Described by their family as “their destiny”, they have hit the

ground running, both in terms of bringing the building up to scratch, but also ensuring that the residents have the type of care they deserve.

“We are definitely resident-focussed,” says Margaret.

“We want to get the spark back in their eyes and give them their

Despite the lack of resources, they say that the staff have done an amazing job holding the place together along with support from the community.

However, they’re aware that they can’t do it alone.

“We don’t really have anything behind us, but we have experience, vision and goodwill,” says Hilary.

“We’ve had some wonderful, humbling offers of help

from the community.”

Now renamed the Wakefield Homestead, Hilary and Margaret say that their focus is on making a positive difference in the lives of their residents.

Providing both permanent and respite care for people generally over 50 years of age, they say that they’re wanting the home to be part of the community once again. “We want the homestead to be back in the heart of the community again,” says Margaret.

Cyclone Gita hits region Judene Edgar The region has been battered for the third time in as many weeks with Cyclone Gita bringing heavy rain and gale force winds.

The storm, which has already caused havoc in the Pacific, is sweeping across the country with Nelson/Tasman, West Coast, Wellington and Kaikoura areas likely to be the worst affected areas. Despite being downgraded on Tuesday morning to an ex-tropical Cyclone, winds were still expected to reach 120kmh with storm surges at high tide, around 1.15am Wednesday.

Still recovering from the effects of Cyclone Fehi on February 1, schools, businesses and households battened down the hatches in preparation. While Cyclone Fehi seemed to catch many people unprepared, the same cannot be said this time.

As a precautionary measure, Nelson Tasman Civil Defence recommended that “residents in low-lying coastal areas should consider staying with family and friends on Tuesday night”.

Both councils also primed the region for the impending arrival of Cyclone Gita. Contractors were out on Monday ensuring major culverts and stormwater systems were clear

“The Councils have, of course, had a focus on the areas affected by the recent storm event providing support homeowners and restoring some level of protection,” says Tasman District Council spokesperson Chris Choat.

Local businesses also stepped up to help with preparations with Higgins Concrete Nelson delivering sand to properties, Concrete and Metals in Motueka supplying sandbags, and poultry farmers supplying

empty poultry bags to use as make-shift sandbags.

“We were watching the news yesterday and just realised that people are in real need of help,” says Higgins Concrete Nelson plant manager Bevan Muollo.

“Councils don’t have the resources and we do.”

Air New Zealand also cancelled all flights in and out of Nelson and Wellington from midday Tuesday, and with most schools either closing their doors on Tuesday or shutting early, many businesses also closed early.

One in a lifetime auction Charles Anderson Journalist

charles@nelsonweekly.co.nz charles@nelsonweekly.co.nz

John Sharlands was a well-liked Nelson personality but most didn’t known anything about the vast array of rare items gleaned from a lifetime of collecting.

Hamish Blanch knew his cousin liked to collect. John Sharland was always at the Nelson markets or antique stores sniffing out something rare.

“He enjoyed the process of the acquisition,” says Hamish. “He enjoyed hunting stuff out and the interaction with whoever was selling it. He was really wellliked.”

But Hamish had not stepped foot inside John’s house, on the banks of the Maitai, for more than 20 years. Last October, Hamish, who had been overseas, went over to check on John. He saw that something wasn’t right. The door had been opened. John, who had been sick for some time, had died and emergency services had been called.

But what Hamish saw inside that house amazed him. Plastic bags filled every room from floor to ceiling. There was no space anywhere.

Auctioneer Warwick Savage stands amid John Sharland’s collection which was salvaged from his home.

Photo: Charles Anderson.

When the house was filled up John had resorted to piling up his collections under tarpaulins outside.

“Even as a young person he was picking up bits and pieces,” Hamish says. “But I didn’t realise it had gotten quite this epic.”

Hamish knew John had good taste, so instead of bringing in the skips to get rid of a lifetime of stuff he called in Tim Gladstone and Lipscome Auction House to

help sort through it.

It took them six weeks to get through it. But it was worth it.

Amid the junk were some of the rarest items Tim had ever seen.

“It is probably the most amazing collection I have seen in all my years,” he says.

“We will never see anything like this. The calibre and breadth and quality of collecting. The scope is huge.”

Cameras, binoculars, military,

tools, magic lanterns and car badges all now fill Lipscome Auction House.

“He was a collector, wasn’t he,” says owner Warwick Savage.

He had to lease another premises just to house all the items while they worked through them.

“You couldn’t chuck anything away because you don’t know what was in it.”

Included in that were 1000 Fun-Ho! Toys, one of which he

paid $450 for it. Fun Ho! was a Taranaki-based company which built toys that are now highly collectible. Representatives of the Fun Ho! Museum are coming to attend the auction.

It is likely one of the largest private collections in the country.

“The whole house had to be painstakingly gone through,” says Warwick.

“In my time in the industry I’ve never even heard of a collection like this, let alone seen one. It is definitely unique.”

John worked at the Nelson Car factory – for about 30 years until it closed down. When that closed he went to Sealord and worked as night cleaner.

Outside the house were also various cars. Hidden in a corner was also the frame of a Ford Model A. Warwick says he would love the people to come down and see it, even if they didn’t plan on buying anything.

“This is a life-long collection. It’s very unusual and very special.

This is John’s life spread out here.”

The auction is open for viewings at Lipscomes Auction House on New St from today until Saturday when the auction will begin at 9am.

Waimea College was filled with the deafening roar of over 1600 students in the chant-off, at the Waimea College House sports day last Friday. Each House vied for points in a series of fun games and competitions, with “bribes” for the teachers, including poems, chocolates and flowers, all part of the fun. Students dressed for the occasion in House colours.

Judene Edgar The rivers are running deep, ready for some spills and thrills in the Buller and Matakitaki Rivers for this year’s Buller Festival next weekend, March 3 and 4.

Open to novices, veterans and serious competitors alike, the two-day whitewater rafting and kayaking festival has been a Murchison tradition for around 25 years.

“It started unofficially about 25 years ago by some local raft guys,” says co-organiser Sophia Mulder.

“This is my eleventh event and the fifth year organising it.”

Considered New Zealand’s wildest and most inclusive kayaking festival, it attracts kayak slalom, rafter cross and boater cross competitors from around the country and even overseas.

The event is also part of the NZ Extreme Whitewater Race series.

“There are always a few highly competitive racers with a lot of entrants coming from NMIT, Ara and Tai Poutini polytechs,” says Sophia.

“But it’s just as much about the social aspect.”

Saturday kicks off with a race against the clock in the kayak slalom which sees competitors traversing grade three rapids.

Also on Saturday is the six-team rafter cross races, with the first two rafts in each heat to successfully negotiate a few obstacles progressing through to the next round.

Sunday the boater cross racing kicks off on the Lower Matakitaki River, with only the fastest and toughest making it through to the next round.

“The boater cross is exciting head-to-head racing action for spectators – usually with some carnage – safe carnage,” she says.

Sophia says that spectators are welcome at all events, including the Awanui Film Awards being held for the first time this year.

The top five films, selected based on their quality, humour and cinematography, will be screened on the Saturday night prior to entertainment at the Hampden Hotel.

“It’s amateur, short films from any adventure sport from white water kayaking to mountaineering, as long as it is some kind of activity that involves the benefit of our planet’s beautiful wilderness.”

A perfect day for wine, food and dance Judene Edgar The 2500-strong crowd enjoyed some great music, fine wine, beer and cider, and kicked up their heels for a spectacular day at Nelson’s Wine and Food Festival in Brightwater on Sunday.

To combat the lack of natural shade, this year organisers installed two giant shade sails, as well as a number of umbrellas, providing wonderful shaded respite for the crowds.

“It was hot as hell, but the shade sails proved really popular,” says Peter.

“We’ll definitely look at extending that more next year.”

While the Dixie Prix had most

people up on their feet dancing, it was the Mash-It-Up dance fitness demonstration that really took the crowd by storm. A unique blend of hip hop and Latin dance styles, the group of women wowed the crowds with their non-stop, high-energy combination of dance and fitness routines.

Donna Burnett and Barb Thomas were at the festival for their first time and say that they will definitely be coming back. Both women work for the Nelson Tasman Hospice, one of the major recipients of proceeds from this year’s festival.

“We love working for Hospice and we think that the money’s

going to a damn good cause,” says Donna.

“A big group of us caught the bus which was a great idea,” says Barb. “Next year we might even bring our caravan out and camp overnight.”

Peter says that 45 motorhomes camped on-site for the weekend and around 50 people took advantage of Middle-Earth Wines’ proximity to the Great Taste Trail and cycled out.

“What amazes us, as organisers, is the way we have no security issues, and after the crowds have left there is barely a piece of paper to pick up,” he says. “All-in-all, a wonderful way to raise funds for our community.”

Rallying for Relay

Saxton Oval to host Opera in the Park

Judene Edgar The team at Richmond Aquatic Centre are rallying together for this year’s Relay for Life, the Nelson Cancer Society’s biennial fund-raiser, at Trafalgar Park next month.

SwimMagic Coordinator Lisa Stove, who has helped pull together their 10-strong team, says that this is their third Relay for Life event.

“My mother had cancer and when I joined her at a survivors’ walk it was such a moving and pivotal moment for me,” she says. “But everyone has their own story – everyone has been touched by cancer.”

This year marks Nelson’s eighth relay and Cancer Society Nelson manager Michelle Hunt says the event is a time to celebrate and commemorate those who have lived with cancer.

“For us, it’s twice as big as Daffodil Day and generates one third of our funding,” she says.

It’s also the first year it will be held at Trafalgar Park instead of the usual Saxton Field location.

“It will be easier, with more facilities – everything is there, and it’s more accessible and family-friendly,” says Michelle.

The grounds have been prepared, the brass instruments have been polished, and rehearsals are well underway for one of Nelson’s largest biennial events, Nelson Opera in the Park, being held at Saxton Oval this Saturday.

Pre-show entertainment features local band Anaglypta and Nelson Brass Band. Anaglypta is the talented duo of Angel Pearson and Shane Clayton, who will be joined on the day by saxophonist Simon Williams.

Angel describes playing at Nelson Opera in the Park as a “bucket list” item.

“We’re really excited to be able to welcome people to the event and help set the mood,” says Angel.

“We’ll be playing a mix of styles and songs that people can just relax and enjoy.”

This year’s event features the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra under conductor Hamish McKeich, with Simon O’Neill, hailed as one of the finest tenors on the international stage, soprano opera singer Anna Leese, and pop artist Bic Runga.

Opera in the Park is on at Saxton Cricket Oval on Saturday, February 24 from 7.30pm. Tickets are available from TicketDirect. For further information go to ‘summerinnelson’ Facebook page or www.nelsonsummer.nz.

It’s been a long wait for their new playground for Brightwater School students who farewelled their “old and sketchy” playground at the end of last year.

But last Friday the ribbon was finally cut on their modern playground complete with wobbly bridges, zip lines, climbing nets, tubular slide, monkey bars, climbing nets and swing seat.

“Everyone is looking forward to being able to play on it,” says 10-year-old Luca Gibellini who cut the ribbon with five-year-old Hanna Stryder.

“I’ll come here and use it during the weekend, too.”

Deputy principal Glenda Earle, who coordinated the project alongside the parent liaison group, says that the children had played a part in choosing the pieces they liked as well as a massive two-day effort last week to spread out all the bark.

“We wanted something that was fun and challenging, that we could also use as part of our physical education programmes,” she says.

“We tried to get pieces that would help develop agility, strength and balance.”

The old playground was built in 1995 and was well past its use-by date. Principal Gerald Baldwin says that the new playground was designed with both the school’s and the community’s growth in mind.

“With the playground, cycle track and swimming pool, the school isn’t just used Monday to Friday, 9am to 3pm - which is a real plus, especially in a small commu-

Gerald says that the kids are really excited and the playground will be a great asset

for the entire Brightwater community, hopefully for the next 25 years.

“There is no other play-

ground of this magnitude in the area,” says Glenda.

Two-years in the making, the new playground cost over $100,000, which has been a huge fund-raising effort for the 300-plus roll school. Money raised from the last two years of galas as well as lots of local support, both cash and in-kind, have helped them reach their target.

Glenda says that Taylors Contracting, Taylor Timbers, Rata Foundation, Fonterra, Wholesale Landscapes, Tasman Temporary Fencing, Brightwater Volunteer Fire Brigade, Rhys Horncastle and Nelmac were all incredibly supportive and were gratefully acknowledged by the children at the opening on Friday.

News It was well worth the wait for the thousands who attended this year’s Asian Night Food Fair at Washbourn Gardens on Saturday. Despite having to postpone due to wet weather the previous weekend, organisers say that they were delighted with the crowd and the atmosphere. Tola Sam was there for the first time with his popular ‘Dancing Dumplings’ cart and says that they made over 700 dumplings. The crowds enjoyed food from Cambodia, Thailand, Japan, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, India, Bhutan and the Philippines - as well as a few local favourites like fish and chips and real fruit ice cream.

Sitting amongst the beautiful gardens festooned with lanterns, the crowd enjoyed the wonderful range of entertainment on offer, including singing, violin, sitar and didgeridoo.

10,000km and $10,000 are all that’s standing between Waimea College students Lauren Armstrong and Sofia Sampson and their dream trip to Japan.

Every year a group of students from Richmond’s sister city, Fujimi-machi, come and stay with local families, providing Waimea College Japanese students with an ideal opportunity to practice their Japanese and learn a bit more about the culture. And every two years, the favour is reciprocated.

“They stay in Richmond for about a week,” says Waimea College Japanese teacher Gina Edens.

“They spend three days in the school and do day trips around the region.”

Gina has coordinated the sister city visits since 2009 and is taking a group of Year 11 to 13 students to Japan in September. During their 19-day trip the group of 22 students will be going to Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima and finally Fujimi, where they will stay with local families and attend school.

“They home-stay with families in Fujimi – often ones who’ve come to Richmond earlier in the year,” she says.

However, as well as learning Japanese, a lot of fund-raising is also required, with each stu-

Year 11 students Lauren Armstrong and Sofia Sampson have already held two sausage sizzles, but they’ve quickly realised that it will take a lot to get them to their target, so they’ve asked for a little help.

“Kris Cavit ran a concert for her daughter two years ago and she offered to help us organise one,” says Lauren.

“We’ve been ringing and emailing people asking for help.”

Lauren’s mother, Richmond School teacher Glenna Armstrong, has also been a great help.

Having wowed the crowds in Mamma Mia at the

Theatre Royal last year, the impressive songstress and tap teacher has helped to secure a strong line-up of talented performers for the variety concert.

“We have some of the Mamma Mia cast in it as well as dancing, drama, singing and music,” says Lauren.

“Everyone has been so helpful and supportive, and we’ve also got some raffles and silent auctions.”

The Variety Concert is on Friday, March 16 at the Playhouse Theatre from 6.30pm to 8.30pm. Tickets are $10 adults or $5 children/students and are available from Henley, Richmond or Ranzau schools.

Focus on WakeField

Neighbours looking after neighbours

Neighbourhood Support has hit the ground running thanks to an amazing response to a flyer drop

late last year. Waimea Coordinator Marty Price says that of the 30 streets canvassed, 15 neighbourhood support groups have already been established.

Neighbourhood support groups are formed from close neighbours who support each other and help to increase local safety.

Marty works with a street contact person for each group,

providing information on crime, scams and alerts, as well as information on how to keep yourself and your homes safe.

“It’s prevention-focussed – how to help secure your property or car, how to avoid scams,” says Marty.

“I also work with James Masters, the new Police liaison officer so that the police know what’s going on in areas,” says Marty.

A team comprising Barbara McGregor, Margaret Eames, Julie Hall and Linda Sisterson has won the West Coast Women’s Open Fours Tournament for the second successive year.

Forty-six teams from throughout the South Island competed in the tournament.

The Wakefield team played six qualifying games over the first two days, winning five to make it into the top eight for post-section knock-out

Marty says that encouraging reporting is another key focus.

“A lot of people are apprehensive to call 111 to report a crime because they think it’s only for emergencies, but it’s important to report crimes so that the police know about trends in the area or areas being targeted.”

In addition to working with the police, Marty also works with other key agencies such as Civil

Focus on WakeField

Outdoor adventures The Wakefield Scout Group is back in action for the new year with lots of exciting activities and adventures planned.

Group leader Louis Hornell says, “it’s about getting outdoors as much as possible – kayaking, canoeing, camping, caving, rock climbing, fishing”.

While activities vary depending upon the age group, keas five to eight-year olds, cubs eight to 10-year olds, and scouts 11 to 14 years, Louis says that there’s always a new adventure to be had.

“Our scouts are off on a kayaking camp next week and our cubs are

going canoeing,” he says.

Currently they have spaces available in all sections, for girls and boys keen on some outdoors adventures. And for a limited time only, they’re offering three free sessions for people who would like to see what it’s all about.

“We’re always keen for kids to come along and check it out,” Louis says.

Roofing games hits the highs Judene Edgar

It’s mate vs mate, town vs town, and North vs South in the inaugural MRM Roofing Games, that was launched last week.

The games kicked off simultaneously at Freeman Roofing in Stoke and Roofing Industries in Whangarei last Tuesday in a bid to find New Zealand’s top roofer. Employees and contractors from around the region competed on a building-site simulation at either a ‘skilled’ or ‘intermediate’ level.

“It’s the very first event of its kind, ever,” says Freeman Roofing marketing manager Dallas Spence.

“The weather was fantastic, we had a pretty good turn out, and everyone chipped in to make it successful.”

Each roofer is assessed by an experienced industry professional and scored on areas such as speed, accuracy, cleanliness of cut lines and health and safety. They are then provided with an individual assessment so that they know what areas they were good in, as well as any areas of improvement.

“It’s fun and competitive, but it’s also about improving the overall quality of roofing,” says Dallas.

“We’ll use the assessments to see areas we may need to improve on as an industry.”

As well as some seasoned professionals, Dallas says that he was delighted in some of the young apprentices who stepped up. Cory Green won the intermediate category taking home a pair of specialist roofing

shoes, and Leigh Pearce, who won the skilled section, received a $200 Mitre 10 voucher.

“The bragging rights is the big thing for these guys.”

There’s also the possibility Leigh may get another shot at bragging rights. With an impressive score of 97, Roofing Games coordinator Max Brough is already picking Leigh as a potential candidate for the national finals in Auckland in July and the chance to win a $5000 travel voucher.

“He’s certainly one to look out for,” says Dallas.

The finals pit South Island’s best against North Island’s best, and Dallas says that he’d love Nelson to take home the prize.

But with around 70 games to go, it’s still very much anyone’s competition.

the uptake of young people and female players buoying the level of interest. Former school teacher Diarmuid Brazendale, who is the Football Development Officer at Nelson Bays Football, has been very instrumental in helping forge links between schools and clubs.

"We are continuing to provide for free our Football in Schools programme, which supports the PE curriculum and gives primary-aged children an opportunity to try football and

hopefully fall in love with the game," says Diarmuid. "It’s been particularly encouraging to see more girls participating."

Already well underway this year is training for upcoming younger players at the Tasman United Academy (run by Nelson Bays Football), which is at almost full capacity with around 90 players participating. "We have a programme which takes players who are ambitious in different age groups and gives them a dif-

ferent kind of coaching experience. It’s a little more focussed and the expectations are a lot higher than club players," says Diarmuid, who coaches at the Academy. "We have split the academy this year - there are four boys’ squads and two girls’ squads, which is a far cry from a couple of years ago when we only had around two or three girls playing. I am really pushing the female side of the game," says Diarmuid. "It’s great that girls who are serious about

PLAY F football now have a place to go." The bulk of the academy is purely training and the squad members play in their usual clubs on Saturdays, but one of the girls’ squads will be playing in a boys’ league for their football development. "They will technically be as able as the boys, but physically it will be harder for them." In 2011, New Zealand Football wrote a curriculum to develop more technically accomplished players throughout the country, administering a programme called the FTC (Federation Talent Centres). When Tasman United became a national league club, Diarmuid, who is very passionate about football, was asked to deliver the programme at the Tasman United Academy to create a talent pathway towards professionalism. "We have continued with the structure but have created our own philosophy and mission statement about the types of players we want to create through a trial process," explains Diarmuid. "We don’t take players just on ability.

We are focussed on their capacity. Our philosophy and mission statement asks that our players be self-driven, open to learning, and want to get better. Attitude is everything."

All of the coaches at the Tasman United Academy who train and nurture young players have a high level of coaching qualifications and experience. "Nelson Bays Football is excited about the potential to make significant improvements in

Photo: Shuttersport. the coaching environment, particularly in the Junior (9 to 12 year old) space," says Diarmuid. "Our primary focus this year is to increase the number and level of coaching courses/qualifications that club coaches attend and achieve, and we are committed to ensuring that the players in Nelson have a coaching experience that is tailored to Nelson’s needs and compares favourably with those in the main centres of Wellington and Auckland." The train-

ing sessions at the Tasman United Academy (which are based on the NBF Model) are held on Mondays and Wednesdays at Saxton Field.

They are designed to maximise opportunities for players to learn good habits and practice the skills necessary to reach the next level. Tasman United Academy has unique points of difference that distinguish it from similar organisations. "We are very well planned," says Diarmuid. "We send out lesson

plans in advance, and expect players to understand what’s expected of them. Recently I sent out a motivational video asking players to reflect on what they have learned so far.

Our coaches ask questions like ‘what should you do in a situation like this?’, and ‘why are you doing that?,’ to get them to be problem solvers."

At the Tasman United Academy, attitude far outweighs ability in the selection process, and an individual’s family financial situation is never regarded as a barrier to inclusion in training. "We make sure young players are not put off from participating and provide support where necessary," says Diarmuid.

The academy runs four boys' squads (12th, 13th, 14th and 15th Grade) and two girls' squads (one junior and one senior). For more information or to enquire about trialling for the academy, email diarmuid.brazendale@mainlandfootball.co.nz or phone 027 6424 244.

Tom helps Speedway to stay on right track Jody Scott

Speedway Reporter editorial@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Tom Burson loves speedway.

Each week the 16 year-old packs up his microphone and speaker, in preparation to call the races.

His favourite to watch is the Super Saloons, the class his brother Ian recently won the NZ Grand Prix in.

Tom’s passion is relentless, he has a giant scrapbook full of speedway articles, cut-outs of race cars and posters decorate his wall.

He gets to practice his race calling when his nephew Jack is out in the paddock racing his Ministock and even gets to do a few quiet laps with Ian’s guidance.

Tom has an intellectual disability. School wasn’t working out for him, he felt frustrated,

and that it was a square-pegin-a-round-hole type situation, so the family decided to try another option. They employed “support persons” who were able to focus Tom and teach him life skills needed for the future.

Paul Nelson works with Tom four days a week; they go the gym, take swimming lessons, work on the library computer and Paul encourages Tom to get involved with athletics and basketball. Willie works with Tom on the other day.

Since the new strategies have been put into place, Tom has become a new person. The stress and anxiety has gone, and he is a much happier person.

The life skills taught to Tom help to focus him and equip him with important tools that he’ll need for the future.

Meanwhile, Waimea Toi Toi United chased down Nelson College’s target of 120, with the loss of six wickets.

And this year, along with the support of the Nelson Speedway club, Tom has been appointed to look after the track car. He heads to Jacks Tyres on a Tuesday to give it a wash, so it looks good on display at Three Brothers Corner.

He also works at the track during the week, keeping the scrutineering pad clean and tidy.

He loves being involved and it’s great that the club have been able help with community support, Tom has even made his own ‘Top of the South’ t-shirt.

Nelson to host national schools tri champs Despite the onslaught of nature, up to 400 of New Zealand’s top school triathletes will compete for national glory at Rabbit Island in four weeks in the Tineli National Schools Tri Champs on March 19, 20.

Parts of the proposed run course for the event have been washed into the sea so a hasty revamp of plans has been necessary, with part of the run now taking place on grass rather than the sealed surface initially planned.

Thanks to the support of Tasman District Council and forestry company PF Olsen, the young triathletes, aged between 10 and 18, will compete on closed roads.

Part of the beach reserve will be closed to ensure safety for competitors and allow for a temporary race village to be set up.

With competitors, parents, teachers and volunteers, up to 1000 people will fill the space while racing takes place.

The event includes the Suzuki individual triathlon in the morning of Monday, 19 March, with the Nelson Bays Suzuki individual

aquathlon (run/swim/run) in the afternoon.

The next day brings the excitement of team racing as groups of four compete in the Port Nelson team tag triathlon. This relatively new sport will feature in the Commonwealth Games in April and also at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.

Local sports fans have a chance to be involved, with the organisers seeking more volunteers to help around the course. Local families are asked to open their homes to young athletes by offering billets to out-of-town competitors and possibly their parents.

Ken Beck Drive will be closed at Bullivant Rd, a kilometre south of the beach reserve, with traffic access through the forest roads allowing public access to the west end of the beach reserve. Members of the public will be welcome at the event village to watch the action.

The organising team has been at work on the event for a year, with more than 100 pages of documentation being produced in the

Tineli National Schools Tri Champs organising committee, from left, Jeni Thornborough, Martin Thompson, Peter Gibbs and Janice Coyle. Photo: Brittany Spencer. last few weeks.

Race director Peter Gibbs of the Nelson Triathlon Club took over the task in September, when early organiser Alan Bryson stepped up in his swim training job at ASB pool.

Peter was soon joined by Jeni Thornborough, secondary schools sports coordinator for Sports Tasman, bringing together the resources and skills of both

organisations.

Marlborough triathlon coach Mark Grammer and Nelson teacher and triathlete Jon Linyard lent their experience and knowledge, and international age group triathlete Martin Thompson has taken a central role in the organization in recent months.

As part of the buildup, Ironman triathlete Britta Martin has been coaching a small group of school

triathletes since November. The Chia Teen Triathlon Training Team is open to budding competitors at 4pm each Monday at Tahunanui reserve.

The next step in the buildup is the Port Nelson Schools Triathlon on Tuesday, 6 March. This regional event for schools from Buller across to Marlborough has also attracted entrants from the North Island anxious to experience racing on the national course.

As well as Tineli, Port Nelson, Nelson Bays Suzuki and Chia, other Nelson businesses to give major support include Village Cycles, who will be at the venue providing checks and repairs, and Sujon. A highlight of the event will be the draw for a new Suzuki Swift. One competitor from each of Triathlon NZ’s national championship races over the season will line up beside one lucky athlete from the Rabbit Island event to be in a six way draw for the big prize.

White water wonder Most of the 250 plus competitors at the weekend’s Buller Festival were from out of town, but Nelson boy Tommy McDowell made sure he was up there with the best – taking out the C1 open men’s slalom.

The Buller Festival is New Zealand’s premier white water event and attracted a large crowd of out-of-town competitors – including a former Olympian from the UK. The festival started off with the popular boater cross, an event which sees kayakers race together down the river. Over the course of the weekend there was also kayak and canoe slalom, rafter cross, SUP race and the classic cardboard cup, which involves making a vessel out of cardboard and tape and taking it down the river.

The event is held every year and

showcases exactly why Murchison is known as the “four river plains”, with its top spots being used by hundreds of competitors over the weekend.

Event spokesperson Sophia Mulder says this was no doubt the biggest weekend on the Murchison calendar, with plenty of money spent in

WEDNESDAY 24 JUNE 2015

By Tim O’Connell While the rest of the South Island encountered rain, snow and pestilence it was typical Tasman sunshine at Kaiteriteri Beach on Sunday as hundreds descended on the shoreline for the Riwaka School Mid-Winter Festival.

Bands, performances and the standard array of hot and tasty food made for a welcome way to spend a winter morning, while children were entertained by bouncy castles, mini jeeps and trains as well as a big dig for

prizes around the golden sands.

The main attractions of the day were the mid-winter dip and the duck race, both of which drew plenty of entries from locals and out of towners keen to support Riwaka School.

Fairies, bumblebees and superheroes were among the costumes on display as the swimmers gathered for the former.

Jeanette Clark from Lower Moutere was found in pre-plunge contemplation of the icy fate that awaited her.

“Everyone has their bucket list

of things to do, and this is one of mine,” she said.

With the tide in for the 11am start of the dip there was a very short run from the shore to the ocean, leaving the hundred or so brave folk who entered little time to chicken out.

Admirably, a handful managed to remain in the water for an extended period of time to milk the moment, although it should be noted that most of these people were female.

For the rest however, the sequence of events once sub-

merged was akin to someone abruptly hitting the rewind button on a DVD. The duck race was a slightly more drawn out affair, yet attracted just as much interest as the earlier event, although it wasn’t long before the nature of inanimate object racing set in and a good portion of the entered ducks were soon bobbing listlessly in the lagoon, Speaking to the Guardian after an extremely successful day in the sun, Riwaka School Principal Fraser Campbell was ecstatic

with the public response to the event.

“There was just a real good buzz around the place and a real connection between the community and school,” he said.

Showing leadership and immense fortitude, Mr Campbell took to the water for the dip along with Deputy Principal Katherine Sefton, a feat which he says was “better than coffee”.

The Mid-Winter Festival raised close to $9000 for the school, a total which is believed to be up on previous years.

Nelson has won back the Winstanley Shield after a solid display against Marlborough on Sunday.

The Winstanley Shield is one of the three senior tennis fixtures played annually.

Former Nelson College pupil, David Winstanley, introduced the shield in the early 1980s.

The tie is traditionally a triangular fixture between Nelson, Marlborough and the West Coast, with two men and two women from each association.

This year’s fixture was contested between Nelson and Marlborough.

Marlborough women Jade Otway and Donna Clark dominated the doubles in the first leg of the fixture, winning comfortably 6-2, 6-0.

Murchison hosts woodchopping championships

Sports news (and not just rugby)

Call us on 544 9037

Despite consisting of only two members, this weekend the Murchison axeman’s club hosted the South Island Woodchopping championships in conjunction with the A and P Show.

The championships are held every year and are hosted by the regions on a rotational basis.

Competitors travelled from Riverton in the far south to Picton to compete for the various titles up for grabs at the two-day championship. The event caters for the top 16 competitors in the South Island, regardless of age or gender.

Murchison’s Dave McEwan says that Goldpine was one of the major sponsors on the weekend.

“They have been supporting wood chopping for many years now,” he says.

“The sponsorship from local businesses and farmers was nothing short of remarkable, showing how these smaller rural towns get in behind sporting activities within their town.”

Tuatahi Racing Axes and Saws, based in Masterton, put up a brand-new racing

axe for the most improved axeman for the season.

“They are unquestionably the best axe marker in the world,” says Dave.

The prestigious award was presented to John Broughton of Southland, who has had an outstanding season, by Charlie Morgan from Canterbury, who was awarded a Queens Service Medal last year for his services to the sport.

In addition to the individual championships, where an impressive amount of skill was displayed by all competitors, one of the always crowd-pleasing events is the interprovincial races.

The races saw Nelson/ Marlborough, Canterbury, West Coast/Buller and Southland/Otago compete against each other in multiple disciplines to find the overall champion province.

“The most travelled team from Southland/Otago came out as the overall champion province,” says Dave.

“There is a tremendous amount of pride amongst the competitors from the different regions and it was a closely fought battle.”

Mark Lile At this year’s Swimming Nelson Marlborough Long Course Champs, swimmers lined both sides of Nayland Park pool to cheer for Sam McKenzie, as the region’s most dominant swimmer in years went out in style, again winning the Marie Saul trophy for best all-round swimmer.

Sam started swimming in Nelson in 2012, when he broke his first Swimming Nelson Marlborough (SNM) record at the New Zealand Juniors.

Over the last six years Sam has broken SNM records on a total of 300 occasions - 80 of these were Open records, the best time in NelsonMarlborough for a swimmer of any age.

Sam currently holds 48 Long Course SNM records and 72 Short Course records across five age groups, and various strokes and distances.

At the Aussie Age Group Champs in 2014, Sam set a New Zealand Age Group record for 14-year-old boys in the 50m Freestyle, at 24.88 seconds.

The next year at the same meet, he set a New Zealand record for 15-year-old boys in the 100 Freestyle with a time of 52.02.

Sam will now make his way to Christchurch where he will be training with the Aquagym Club for a few months before heading to the United States on a swimming scholarship.

Club President Thanks god the school holidays are over. Six weeks can be a long time to have the kids at home, but like every year, mum Kingshas done Stormers vs vsa great job in keeping the youngsters entertained and Jaguares Bulls in hindsight we did have a lot of fun.

Going camping is still one of their favourite pastimes. Just park up somewhere near the beach, get the caravan set up and cut the kids lose. Within minutes they get themselves immersed into their own little fantasy world. A place where stick huts turn into castles that need defending, the dog turns into a

big monster that need fighting off and the rock pools turn into ponds with prehistoric creatures.

The beach is always popular to cast out some bait or a lure to try and catch some fish. You don’t have to get fancy. Kids love to make things work for themselves and they quickly find a crab that goes as bait or use some of last night’s dinner to catch a shark.

The river mouth in Collingwood can be a great place on an incoming tide to cast lures for a Kahawai. Those fish come up the river mouth with the tide in big numbers sometimes and can keep the kids entertained for hours. They also make up a nice meal when smoked fresh.

Fishing Hint: Fish and animals are more active at first light and last light in the evening.

Snapper are are no different but are also wary fish and will not come into the shallows in bright, sunny conditions. But they will in low light, and this is always the best time to fish.
