Growth fund targets local region Colin Williscroft Reporter

colin@waimeaweekly.co.nz

The Nelson Tasman region is the latest to benefit from the government’s Provincial Growth Fund (PGF).

Future development of the Top of the South economy is to be supported by an almost $7 million PGF investment, including $435,000 towards the 2077 Te Tauihu strategy, which aims to provide the region with a roadmap for developing and diversifying the economy for generations to come.

Development of the strategy is being led by Wakatu Incorporation, on behalf of the Tasman District Council, Nelson City Council, Marlborough District Council, eight iwi and local business.

Under-Secretary for Regional Economic Development, Fletcher Tabuteau, says the strategy will allow the region to leverage off other key industries to deliver sustainable and meaningful growth into the future.

He says, like many regions in New Zealand, the Top of the South faces issues such as low productivity and

low wages which, if not addressed, will hold the region back from realising its potential.

The PGF money will help develop the 2077 Te Tauihu strategy over the next nine months.

Whakatu chairman Paul Morgan says the strategy is an exciting initiative because it is being led by business and is focussed on delivering results for the region.

As well as money going towards the development strategy, the fund has targeted other specific projects, including $6 million to help establish a National Algae Centre.

“The largest of the investments in the region’s ocean economy will go to the Cawthron Institute, a worldleader in research into the potential applications of algae,” Fletcher says, adding that support from the PGF will enable the Cawthorn Institute to build on its existing work to unlock new and exciting commercial opportunities.

“We know already there is massive potential and global market demand for algae-based products.

This investment will enable New Zealand to capitalise on that

Growth fund targets local region FROM PAGE 1 demand, and will also produce up to 30 new jobs in the region upon the creation of the national centre.

“The PGF will also make it easier for the industry to do business through investments in science and technology. A regional artificial intelligence facility will receive $95,000, and $99,000 will support the delivery of more accurate, consistent and better data to the aquaculture industry.”

A $252,000 PGF investment in Port Tarakohe will help the Tasman District Council investigate what is needed to upgrade and expand the port.

“The green-lipped mussel industry has been given regulatory approval to increase

mussel farming over 2000 hectares in Golden Bay,” Fletcher says.

“But in order to do this, they need the port to expand.”

The port expansion investigation funding has been welcomed by the Tasman District Council.

Tasman Mayor Richard Kempthorne says the investment is not just about a few farmers.

“This is about ensuring we have the infrastructure available for the wider community and local investment to take advantage of the opportunity. This is about local economic resilience and a sustainable future for the area.”

Fisheries Minister Stuart Nash says the investment from the PGF will be a welcome shot in the arm for the

primary sector in the Top of the South.

“Land-based primary industries across Te Tauihu have struggled with drought and fires, and aquaculture has suffered problems with algal bloom and warmer ocean temperatures.

“But there is a bright future for aquaculture, highlighted by strong forecasts of export growth for seafood in key markets, especially China, the U.S. and Europe.

“This investment will make a real difference,” Stuart says.

With more than 70 per cent of New Zealand’s aquaculture industry located in the Top of the South, along with a strong research and development capability, Fletcher says the area is well-placed to be a global leader in growing the ocean economy.

WEDNESDAY 24 April 2019

The Department of Conservation is planning to carry out aerial 1080 pest control over approximately 320,000 hectares of Kahurangi National Park and about 11,400 hectares of Abel Tasman National Park to protect vulnerable native species from high predator numbers that could decimate their populations.

DOC Motueka operations manager Chris Golding says the predator control is needed to protect vulnerable native species including kākā, kea, whio/blue duck, giant land snails and other at-risk species.

A heavy beech seed fall (known as a mast) is expected in both national parks this year. The seed will provide more food for rodents, fuelling rapid rises in their numbers. With more rodents to feed on, stoats produce more young and their numbers spike in the summer after a beech mast.

Chris says the pest control is aimed to curb rises in predator numbers to protect vulnerable native birds from predator attacks during their breeding season, so more adults and chicks can survive to build populations.

The Abel Tasman pest control is essential for supporting Project Janszoon’s work with DOC to restore and preserve the park’s native wildlife and

ecosystems, he says. It is part of a park-wide pest management programme that includes an extensive trapping network.

It is planned to release 20 juvenile kaka into the Abel Tasman’s Bark Bay area this winter and predator numbers need to be extremely low to keep them

Predators such as rats are being targeted by DOC. safe from predation. Predator control will also protect robins/toutouwai in the park.

The Abel Tasman operation is expected to begin from April 29 and the Kahurangi operation in May. Chris says pest control begins with a prefeed aerial application of non-toxic baits that makes rats and possums more likely to eat the cereal baits. That’s followed by aerial application of baits containing a small amount of biodegradable 1080 pesticide. The

timing of bait applications is dependent on there being several days of suitable weather.

Due to the large area covered by the Kahurangi operation, the area is divided into four operational blocks that will be treated separately.

Chris says this year’s aerial 1080 predator control will help maintain the benefits for native species from previous operations in the parks in 2014, 2016 and 2017. DOC monitoring has shown improved nesting success for kea and rock wren in Kahurangi from predator control in 2014 and 2016 over approximately 300,000 hectares that was also carried out to protect native species from high predator numbers resulting from beech seeding.

Kea nesting success (where chicks survive to fledge) improved from just 2 per cent (between 2009 and 2014) to 50 per cent after the 2014 and 2016 aerial 1080 operations.

The tiny reclusive rock wren has been tracked over several years following the 2014 and 2016 predator control in Kahurangi. Rock wren raised three times more chicks the year after aerial 1080 than birds in a non-treatment area.

The next season they raised five times more chicks than the comparison area, showing that the benefits lasted over two breeding seasons.

Snowden Bush Trust making progress Matt McCrorie Reporter

matt@waimeaweekly.co.nz

The trust formed to expand the Snowden Bush Reserve in Brightwater is in discussions for a sale and purchase agreement with the Anglican Diocese Board, with the trust looking to purchase the 3500-square-metre land parcel in order to expand the existing Snowden’s Bush Reserve.

The Snowden Bush Trust was formed to protect and enhance the reserve by buying the front land along Waimea West Road from the Anglican Church that is currently for sale, and to combine it with the existing reserve.

Member of the trust Jeremey Cameron says that “real progress has been made towards finalising an agreement which will protect Snowden’s Bush for future generations.” Jeremey says that members of the Snowden Bush Trust met with the current land owners, the Nelson Diocesan Trust Board, this month.

“Both parties want to see the current grass frontage along Waimea West Road officially incorporated into Snowden Bush.

A draft sale purchase agreement has been negotiated, which we hope to finalise within the next two weeks.”

Once signed, the agreement will give the Snowden Bush Trust 12 months to raise the finances.

Confirmation of the SBT’s charitable status is pending, funding applications are being drafted, a givealittle site is being developed and the Tasman District Council has been approached.

National MP Nick Smith helped form the trust after Brightwater residents led by Janice Gibbs approached him last year, and the trust was formed in March this year.

He says the trust acknowledges the church is quite entitled to sell the property but believes it would be a tragedy if the bush was lost to a housing development.

After the first step of establishing the trust, the members have been negotiating a deal with the Anglican Church for the price and timeframe for purchase. The next step, once a sale and purchase agreement is signed, will be to begin a fund-raising campaign from government, council and the local community.

The Calder family, including, back row, from left, John Calder and Susan Pongia, holding Maia Alexanda Pongia, and front row, from left, former New Zealand rugby league captain Quentin Pongia, Judy Tahapeehi and Dawn Skipworth, held a family reunion in Waimea over Easter. Almost 80 people attended, about a third of the extended family. As well as those who live locally, family members travelled from the West Coast, Wairarapa, Hawkes Bay and Australia for the gathering. Descendants of Rose and Jim Calder, who also played for the national rugby league side, the family held a barbecue at Rabbit Island on Saturday and had a meal at Club Waimea on Sunday. John Calder, who lives in Richmond, says the family has a big gathering every five years or so, with smaller catch-ups between those events. “We believe in being with family, that’s what it’s all about.”

Growers are encouraged to attend so they can have their say on the proposal.

Owen Pomana ‘Life Transformation’

Owen was a former national bodybuilding champion, but life went on a downward spiral as he became caught up in a life of sex, drugs and gangs, running from not only police, but hitmen and fighting bike gangs, while being addicted to methamphetamine and crack cocaine.

In 2009 he was released after serving numerous prison sentences in Australia and was escorted back to New Zealand and given a lifetime ban from Australia. Since then, Owen had a life-changing encounter with God that has turned his life around and he now shares his story all over the world, ministering on the streets, in orphanages, hospitals, old people’s homes, schools and prisons.

In the last ten years he has travelled to over fifty countries including Russia, North Korea, Lebanon, Iraq, Pakistan, Thailand and Japan, and many more.

Help needed for new rescue boat

Anton Bentley, Judene Edgar, Matthew Edgar and Caitlin Brennan will be bringing the stories of the Washbourn family back to life in Washbourn Gardens on May 5 as part of a Tasman District Council event. The actors will provide insight into everyday life in Richmond in the 1920s. History Brought to Life starts at 2pm at Washbourn Gardens on Sunday, May 5, and repeats again at 2.30pm and 3pm.

Feel free to bring your own chair or blanket to sit on. Photo: Supplied

The Nelson Volunteer Coastguard needs community support to buy a replacement rescue boat to help meet increasing demand, including from Waimea boaties.

The current boat, an 8.5-metre Naiad bought second-hand, is about 25 years old and experience has proven it too small and lacking essential features, Nelson Volunteer Coastguard vice-president Emmett Mills says.

It is not an all-weather boat, with no fully enclosed wheelhouse, and there is potential in extreme weather for it to be unable to go out when it is needed most.

The size of the boat is a constraint, he says, as there is no space to do proper chart work and co-ordinate more complicated multi-boat searches.

There is also no sheltered

space to keep people who have been rescued protected from the elements, with stretcher-borne patients currently transported on the open aft deck - no matter what the weather.

A replacement boat design has been identified and so far about $400,000 has been raised to go towards its $1.3 million cost.

Top of the South designed and a proven performer already in use by Search and Rescue New Zealand, police and the military, the new boat will be 11.5 metres long and be able to handle extreme weather. It will have an enclosed wheelhouse and sheltered areas to treat patients, along with room at the back of the boat for a smaller vessel to access trickier situations.

It would also be dieselpowered, compared to the current boat which has a

twin-engine petrol unit, so its range would be extended. It would also have a heavier towing capacity and higher observation points.

The local coastguard’s operational area of responsibility is one of the largest in the country, covering the Tasman and Golden bays, from 12 nautical miles north of Stephens Island, around Farewell Spit to Kahurangi Point on the West Coast.

Emmett says the organisation receives no operational or capital funding from central government, with all its financial needs met through the fund-raising efforts of local coastguard volunteers, sourced out of the communities it serves.

Donations can be made at https://givealittle.co.nz/ cause/replacement-rescuevessel-campaign or contact the coastguard directly.

Police answer questions over firearms

With the new duck shooting season getting under way on Saturday, May 4, the police have answered some questions about the new gun laws posed by Fish & Game.

The new firearms laws are now in effect, amending the Arms Act by banning most semi-automatic firearms and some pump-action shotguns; and also certain largecapacity magazines. There are limited exemptions.

Excluded from the ban are rimfire rifles that are .22 calibre or

less as long as they have a magazine (whether detachable or not) that holds 10 rounds or less; and semi-automatic shotguns that have a non-detachable, tubular magazine that holds five rounds or less.

Pump-action shotguns that are capable of being used with a detachable magazine or have a nondetachable tubular magazine capable of holding more than five rounds, are banned.

Prohibited magazines include shotgun magazines (whether de-

tachable or not) capable of holding more than five rounds, and magazines for other firearms (excluding pistols) that are: detachable magazines bigger than 10 rounds that are capable of holding 0.22 calibre or lower rimfire cartridges; detachable magazines bigger than 10 rounds that are capable of being used with a semiautomatic or fully automatic firearm; and other magazines, detachable or not, that are capable of holding more than 10 rounds.

Also banned is any component

that can be applied to enable a firearm to fire with (or near to) semi-automatic or automatic action, including gas blocks, gas tubes, and sub-calibre conversion kits.The newly banned items will be called prohibited firearms, prohibited magazines, and prohibited parts.

New offences involving prohibited items carry tougher penalties of up to 10 years imprisonment.

Transitional provisions allow for an amnesty until six months after the buy-back is announced, so

that those in possession of prohibited items have time to notify police and can hand over their firearm/s to police at a later stage when that process is advised.

Police say they will take an educational approach when dealing with rangers and duck shooters on opening day.

They plan to carry out routine operations during the duck hunting season, with a focus on educating gun users about the new laws.

Details of a buy-back scheme are still being worked on.

News Ivan Rhodes is wellknown among his neighbours for the kumara he grows and the secret to him being so well liked may be because he shares them. Ivan’s biggest kumara this year weighs more than 2kg and is 45cm long, but he’s had bigger in the past. “Ivan’s our neighbour, and when I pop over he’s always trying to give away kumara, peaches, you name it. Last year he grew huge ones as well,” his neighbour Linda Cotton says. Ivan says that the key components to growing his enormous kumara are simple – sunlight, water and good soil.

“They need a warm place, and good soil,” Ivan says.

“The key is good rich soil.

Where I grow them used to be an old sheep yard, and I never plant them in the same place, I move them each year. Once I’ve moved them, I plant Blue Lupin to give the soil some nitrogen.” Ivan and his wife have been in Spring Grove for the last five years, after retiring from their dairy farm in Golden Bay.

Final call for mayoral fund applications Applications to the Nelson Tasman Mayoral Disaster Relief Fund will close on May 12. The fund, set up following the Pigeon Valley and related fires, has received $450,000 in donations for distribution.

The fund is open to Tasman District and Nelson City residents, ratepayers or business owners, and not-forprofit organisations, who suffered financial or emotional hard-

ship as a result of the fire event that began on February 5, 2019.

The fund provides assistance on a one-off basis for extraordinary circumstances, where real need can be shown.

The fund is there to assist people who have exhausted other appropriate sources such as Work and Income New Zealand and other government agencies.

Since opening for ap-

plications in March, the fund has funded 18 applications totalling $44,793.96 with another 56 applications currently being considered. So far, payments from the fund have been made for accommodation, loss of income, remediation works and financial hardship.

To find out whether you are eligible for the fund, or for application forms, go to the TDC website.

Retailer sold cigarettes to minor A tobacco retailer in the Tasman area last week sold cigarettes to a 15-year-old volunteer in a tobacco controlled-purchase operation undertaken by the Nelson Marlborough Public Health Service (PHS).

Ten retailers in the Tasman region were visited, with the volunteer attempting to

buy cigarettes from retail premises under the supervision of PHS employees.

Public Health Service operations manager Sonya Briggs says: “Ideally we would have liked there to be no sales at all, but we are pleased that the majority of retailers asked the volunteer for their ID.”

Next phase of transport plan set to begin Waimea drivers who spend time on Nelson city roads should be aware the next stage of plans to develop the city’s roading system is about to get under way.

Engineering consultancy AECOM has been appointed to produce a detailed business case on the Nelson Future Access project, working in partnership with Stantec.

The NZ Transport Agency’s director of regional relationships, Jim Harland, says the appointment will kick-start work on the next phase of the project.

“Together with council and our consultants, we will be working closely with the Nelson community and key stakeholder groups over the coming months to investigate and develop a detailed investment programme for Nelson’s transport system.”

Jim says, as that work continues, the needs of all transport users, including drivers, cyclists and pedestrians, as well as residents, business operators, tourists and freight operators, will continue.

“We will also look at how to best use Nelson’s existing transport infrastructure, as well as emerging technologies.”

The programme scope includes fasttracking work to identify whether any walking and cycling enhancements can be delivered within the Rocks Road area in the short to medium term.

Classroom names reflect values Classrooms at Mahana School have been given new names to reflect a value that pupils in them believe reflects their class.

Deputy principal and teacher Carolyn Scorrar says the classes used to be named after birds and, while that was fine, it was decided it would be better if the classroom names were

more in line with the stage of school their pupils were at, and what those children thought were important to them.

Year 1 and 2 pupils are in the Rahiri classroom, which means to welcome. That name was settled on as this is the class where most children new to the school start, Carolyn says.

Children in years 3 to 5 are now in the Ngakaupai classroom, which is interpreted as positive and good hearted.

Carolyn says children of that age generally have a can-do attitude and are prepared to give anything a go, which is done with the best of intentions.

Year 6 to 8 pupils are in the Manawanui classroom, reflect-

ing their strength and ability to stand up for what they believe.

“They’re the leaders of the school,” she says. “They know about standing up for what is right.”

The new classroom names are not the only change at Mahana School. A new principal, Paul Shand, will start work next term.

Three-year-old Manaia Kingi-Miki, from Moutere, enjoyed his time on the merry-go-round at the Mapua Easter Fair on Sunday. While the weather could have been kinder, thousands of people still turned out for the annual fair, the largest in terms of attendance in the wider Nelson region. The key annual fund-raiser for Mapua Primary School and Mapua Playcentre, the fair included a wide range of stalls, fairground rides and attractions, and entertainment.

Just a thought...

Ross Ferguson Richmond Community Church Having just attended two funerals this past week, I was able to consider the ancient wisdom of King Solomon, who said it is better to go to a funeral than to a feast, as “death is the destiny of everyone”.

It was also a reminder that life is short and so it is important to take a leaf out of the book of this wise king, who encourages us to give death more than “just a passing thought”.

It was C S Lewis who said if you study history you will find that those who have been the most influential in this life are those who have thought most highly of the next. Think about it.

One of the foremost authorities on death and dying, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, psychiatrist, researcher and author, profoundly changed society’s attitudes in her ground-breaking book On Death and Dying. She concluded “If you live each day of your life right, then you have nothing to fear.’’ For her, she said, death was a graduation.

An increasing number of grief

experts with years of experience teaching about life and death, have also come to the conclusion that death as we know it is not the end, and are seeing life differently from the traditional belief that life begins when you are born and ends when you die.

This is consistent with the scriptures, which speak of God placing eternity in the human heart and that while we may never fully understand it, He gives us an awareness of the reality of endless life and a future hope, because of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Even singer, songwriter and recent Nobel Prize winner in literature, Bob Dylan, when he was convinced of this, wrote the song Death is Not the End. But undoubtedly the greatest authority on death and the “afterlife” is Jesus Christ himself who said; “I am the Resurrection and the Life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying” and for almost 2000 years we still celebrate his death and resurrection every year, with Easter being the greatest celebration of all, highlighting the fact that death is definitely not the end.

Upper Moutere School pupils Seth Shaw, left, and Luna Eaton, acted out the role of pigs who ducked under an electric fenceline because they could not wait for their breakfast, when children’s author Jennifer Somervell visited the school last week.

Jennifer, who is the author behind the award-winning Tales from the Farm series, took two sessions for different age groups from the school.

In the younger group, Seth and Luna played pigs Napoleon and Josephine, the central characters in the book A Very Greedy Tale, while Jennifer read the story aloud. She says having children act out the roles helps to bring the story to life.

The older children learnt about the writing and illustrating process. Jennifer says she was very impressed with the interest show by pupils at the school, adding that it was obvious they had read and enjoyed the story before.

Jennifer also visited Wakefield School while she was in the Waimea area.

Don’t miss the amazing sale happening right now at Avanti Plus Richmond where there’s up to 50 percent off bikes and 70 percent off accessories. Until the end of April, there’re huge reductions on all kinds of E-bikes including big brands Avanti and Scott, easy-to-get-on styles and full-on mountain bikes and off-road bikes.

“With E-bikes becoming more and more popular and very reliable, it’s getting a lot of people back onto bikes,” says owner of AvantiPlus Richmond, Mike Anderson. “It may have been a keen rider who had ridden 5 or 10 k’s a day who are now doing three or four times that amount on an E-bike.

It’s great to get out and do some exploring and feel the wind in your hair.”

So many people give up riding for one reason or another, due to a health issue, or they’re too busy, or they may have packed on a few pounds. “We see people after a month of riding and they’re a completely different person – they’ve lost weight, they look really happy.”

Mike says people don’t necessarily have to ride on the road – “they can enjoy our region’s awesome cycle trails.” For more information, visit www. avantiplus.co.nz or pop into AvantiPlus Richmond at 203 Queen St today.

After many years of dedication to the business, James Dean has now handed over the ownership of Deans Nursery to his son Ollie, but still works there part-time. Deans Nursery, which is located on the outskirts of sunny Richmond, is currently gearing up for its annual Autumn Sale.

“We’ve got a nursery which is full of very healthy plants, with a full range of New Zealand native and exotic plants available,” says James. “We have a full range of New Zealand native and exotic plants available and autumn is the ideal time to plant, because there’s still some warmth in the soil which allows them to be established for winter, giving them more resistance to next year’s summer droughts.”

The autumn sale at Deans Nursery starts on Saturday, April 27th with 10 percent off all plants and 20 percent off selected lines including: climbers, salvias, hebes, native ground covers, corokias, griselinias and deciduous trees, “which are looking great at the moment with the autumn colour.”

Deans Nursery will be open seven days a week throughout May. “In the 1st week of May our new stocks of rhododendrons will be arriving and we’ll have a huge selection.” Be sure to visit Deans Nursery at 33 Lansdowne Road for its autumn sale, starting April 27th.

When it comes to the care and maintenance of your trees, you can call on Nick Chambers, owner of Atom Tree Specialists, for expert advice and services. Nick is a fully qualified arborist and amenity horticulturalist with over 20 years experience working in New Zealand, Australia, UK and Ireland. Nick’s journey as a tree specialist began in 1994 when he was working as an apprentice amenity horticulturalist at the Nelson City Council, working in parks, gardens and reserves.

“During my time training I worked with some amazing guys who put me on the right path to being a professional Arborist or Tree Surgeon. The arborists I worked with during that time went on to do some important work in the industry nationally and internationally. I love Nelson – was brought up here, and combined with my exposure to how work practises are done in other countries, has created the person I am today – my eye for detail, work safety, efficiency and knowing what’s best for trees in their environment.”

The addition of two new sides will give the premier competition some added spice when it gets underway next Thursday night.

Motueka High School and a second Stoke side will enter the fray in 2019 bringing the number of top flight sides to eight.

Joining the newcomers will be defending champions Prices Ahurei, Jacks OPD, Stoke NBS, Nelson College for Girls Senior A and Waimea College Senior A. Stoke Sportswise earned its promotion after winning the Senior One competition in 2018 and Motueka High School A through the challenge series.

After producing a pulsating final last season, Prices and Jacks will enter as early favorites again.

“These exciting changes are designed to create more competition throughout the grades and to increase opportunities for younger players to hone their netball skills.”

A plethora of superb players will be sprinkled throughout the premier division.

Holly Chandler was outstanding in the 2018 final, her relentless defence earning her MVP of the match.

Holly forms a formidable defensive duo with Dayna Whiting and the pair will be integral to Prices’ chances of defending its title.

Speedway’s Easter Extravaganza explodes Jody Scott The final night of Milestones Homes Top of the

South Speedway went off with a bang as the stock cars turned it on for the Easter Extrava-

No love was shown to Greymouth speedway promoter George Watson from Dylan Clarke by rolling him during the stock heats. Photo: Imagepress. ganza.

They were playing catch-up to the roll over tally of the T.Qs but made a good fist of it with four roll overs and plenty of hitting during the night.

A few Christchurch visitors added to the line-up, with two-times South Island champion Brad Rosewarne taking away the goods for the night, Man of Steel John

Everett was 2nd and Melissa Gifford kept the car running and stayed out of trouble to finish 3rd overall.

The street stocks also had a couple of visitors. There was a bit of bash in heat one as only four cars out of 13 made it across the finish line.

Notorious hitter Daniel McNally from Christchurch decided to chase the flag, taking out the title from locals

Nathan Thomas and Rob Skurr.

The side car heats were tense, with wins to Nippy Ching and Shaun Solly in heat one, while new South Island champs Adie Drake and Kieran Satherley won heat two.

It was set for a big final, but contact on the opening lap saw Satherley left in some pain on the infield, Ching

and Solly claiming the final silverware for the season.

Eddie Frans kept it clean in the production saloons to win from former 3nz Matt Sherlock from Christchurch, with Blenheim’s Sam Martin 3rd.

The T.Qs were the speedsters of the night, the track in perfect condition for fast laps.

A huge drive from Rodney Thompson from Greymouth saw him take the first heat win from Jayden Corkill.

Alicia McLauchlan held off 1nz Jeremy Webb and Kyle Glover for 3rd in a hectic last lap battle. Heat two went the way of Morgan Frost, with Webb 2nd and Glover 3rd.

In the final Corkill was having it all his own way after Frost had mechanical problems. A caution closed the field up with 8 of the 25 laps to go. It was the break Webb and Glover needed to have a chance but, as the green flag dropped, Corkill took off again. Glover snuck into 2nd and Webb was 3rd.

Father and son win indoor bowls event Last week Richmond’s Mike Johnston and his son Kaleb Johnston, a Waimea College student who won the New Zealand junior singles title last year, won the Nelson 2-4-2 pairs sponsored by Club Waimea’s Phil’s Place Restaurant.

Runners-up were Clive Johnston, who is Mike’s father and Kaleb’s grandfather, who was partnered with Marian Stephens, both of the Hope club.

Twenty-one pairs teams entered, which unfortunately created a bye each round due to one team having pulled out at last minute.

Each team played four games of seven ends over the night. The winner decided on most wins, then on most ends if wins were equal, then finally on points if there was still a tie.

After three hard-fought rounds two teams were setting the pace, being the only teams unbeaten with three wins from three games, and they were both the Johnston

teams. They each survived several close wins to stay unbeaten.

In the final fourth game, again both teams recorded wins, although Mike and Kaleb were gifted their last game as it was a default win.

This resulted in a tie with four wins each, which meant a countback of ends was required. Once the calculators had worked their magic Mike and Kaleb were declared the winners with four wins and 16 ends, with Clive Johnston and Marian Stephens a close second on four wins and 13.5 ends.

It’s going to be a busy week this week.

Firstly, it’s the Golden Bay-Motueka Open Singles played on Easter Monday in Motueka, the Social Drawn Evening on Wednesday at 7pm at the Bowls Stadium, the Anzac Day Open Fours on Thursday at 1pm along with Stoke sponsored open singles at the Bowls Stadium.

WEDNESDAY 24 April 2019

Rainbow race new event A new mountainbike and running event at the Rainbow Ski Area is the latest initiative aimed at getting more people up the mountain outside the ski season.

Rainbow general manager James Lazor, says on May 5 the inaugural edition of the Mount McRae Challenge will be held on the mountain.

The event involves a bike ride up the ski area’s eight-kilometre-long access road, then a run from the upper car park to the top of Mount McRae, followed by a run back to the car park and then a bike ride back down the access road.

Entries can be made on the Rainbow Ski Area website. They will be open until May 3 and James says there have been plenty of enquiries from people trying to decide whether to race as individuals or in a team.

Prizes will be awarded for both fastest individual and fastest team; race times closest to what men, women and team competitors estimated prior to starting; and the competitor with

the best outfit.

It costs $30 to enter and money raised will go towards the purchase of a snow plough and to the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter.

James says it was decided last year that it would be a good idea to hold more events at Rainbow over the summer and autumn, in particular biking and hiking events.

In February the ski area hosted the Rainbow Rogaine. Rogaining is an orienteering sport, involving route planning and navigation between checkpoints using a variety of map types. Teams of 2–5 people choose which checkpoints to visit within a time limit.

Set in the alpine basins that surround Rainbow Ski Area, about 200 competitors enjoyed a 3-hour course that encapsulated the area’s special landscape, James says.

An additional attraction for competitors was to have an event of that length that began at more than 1550-metres above sea level.

Waimea competitors performed well at the recent Tasman Secondary Schools Mountain Bike Championships held at Codgers Park.

Waimea College riders claimed two titles, with Kendall Shuker coming first equal overall in the under-19 girls, winning the downhill and coming second in the crosscountry, while Caleb Scott was first overall in the under-16 boys after finishing second in the downhill and third in the cross country.

riders to claim overall podium places were Jamie Bartlett in the under-19 boys who finished second overall after finishing second in both the downhill and cross-country races behind the highly-rated Todd Balance of Nelson Boys.

Jamie was followed home by fellow Waimea College rider Caleb Hardaker in the same category, with his sixth in the downhill and third in the cross-country earning him third overall.

Waimea College’s strength in the under 19 boys was

shown by its students being five of the top 10 riders home overall.

Georgia Shelling finished fourth overall in the under-19 girls but claimed third place in the downhill.

In the same category, Garin College’s Helen Pointon finished fourth in the cross-country.

One of the organisers behind the competition, Chris Mildon, says Waimea College riders always perform well at the event, so he was not surprised that was again the case this year.

Nelson and Tasman are growing fast. Using the results of feedback on the Nelson Tasman Future Development Strategy collected earlier this year, we have developed three potential growth scenarios. We’re now seeking your views to help us refine the options that will shape the future of your communities.

Funding available for fencing

Local elections – over to you

Did you know we can provide you with financial support and advice to prevent stock access to waterways and protect and enhance important habitat?

The Rivers and Stream Management Fund is available yearround. Funding is allocated on the basis of ecological value and there is no set limit to how much funding a landowner can obtain.

Erecting fences along waterways to exclude stock creates riparian buffers and is the single most effective measure for reducing faecal and sediment contamination of streams.

You can improve stream ecology even further by establishing grasses, trees and shrubs within riparian buffers to provide shade, habitat and food for native fauna.

Available assistance

Elections for Tasman’s mayor, councillors, Community Board members and Nelson/Marlborough District Health Board members will be held in October this year.

Thinking of becoming a candidate?

We can provide financial support to landowners for waterway fencing projects that meet certain criteria.

Support can include:

• Fencing materials to exclude stock from valuable habitat; • Providing trees and shrubs to stabilise soils and prevent hillslope and stream erosion; • Sharing information on the best management practices around the water/land interface; • Providing advice for enhancing native wildlife habitat in and around waterways.

Find out more For more information contact Bernard Simmonds by emailing bernard.simmonds@tasman.govt.nz, or phone 543 8400. You can also learn more on our website, www.tasman.govt.nz/link/grants.

Sport NZ Rural Travel Fund applications closing soon The Sport NZ Rural Travel Fund offers help with travel costs for rural sports clubs and rural school teams. The goal is to help young people aged between 5 – 19 participate in local sports competitions.

Sport NZ fully fund the Rural Travel Fund, which we administer locally on their behalf. The next funding round closes on 30 April 2019. Head to www.tasman.govt.nz/link/ grants for criteria and how to apply.

All charges are reviewed each year to determine whether they need to change or not. Some charges are proposed to increase this year.

Free training: how to keep your hull clean Learn from experts about how to get the most from your anti-fouling.

Good hull maintenance means you use less fuel, get to your destination faster, and do not spread marine pests.

A free training session is being held on Saturday 25 May 2019, 1.00pm to 4.00pm, at the Nelson Marina. New rules in Marlborough ban highly fouled vessels from moving in and out of the region, while existing rules in Tasman and Nelson require control of Mediterranean fanworm (Sabella spallanzanii). Carboline New Zealand, a leading manufacturer of marine paints, is teaming up with councils and Nelmac to bring you this opportunity to understand more about anti-fouling. Any queries ring or email Peter Lawless, Top of the South Marine Biosecurity coordinator at 021 894 363 or tosmarinebio@gmail.com Note: This is a drop-in session. Arrive any time from 1.00 pm to 3.30 pm and we will include you.

Access and parking for Saxton Velodrome completed The access road for the Saxton Velodrome is now complete, with entry from Champion Road linking to a new parking area beside the velodrome. Now this access is available, the informal route from the internal road through Saxton Field will be closed to motor vehicles. We have closed this route to prevent the internal road from becoming a rat run for commuter traffic, which would pose safety concerns for the public using the facilities at Saxton. We appreciate this will add a couple of minutes to the journey for those travelling to the velodrome from Stoke and other parts of Nelson. In future years we will look at options for providing safe access to the velodrome from the Stoke side of Saxton Field.

About the Saxton Velodrome The Saxton Velodrome, completed last year, is a fantastic free public facility for cyclists of all ages and stages. The learn to bike area is a great spot for young riders to practice their road rules and biking skills - and is great fun for those on roller blades, scooters and other wheels too.

The competition-standard race track is also available for the public to use for free when not booked for club training or races. The velodrome, access road and parking are provided jointly by Tasman District Council and Nelson City Council.

COUNCIL MEETINGS: Unless otherwise stated, all meetings will be held at Council Chambers, 189 Queen Street, Richmond.

Hope hosting tennis tournament This weekend the Hope Tennis Club is hosting The Kia Nelson Senior Open and Masters Tournament.

Last year was the first time the tournaments were run together and organisers hope this year’s event will be just as successful.

Mixed doubles will be played

on Saturday, with masters doubles on Sunday.

Open singles will be held on Saturday, with open doubles the following day.

Play will start at 8.30am each day.

The event will also be used as a fund-raiser for The Brook Waimarama Sanctuary. Raffles

will be run to raise money for the sanctuary but part of the goal is to raise awareness of it.

Organisers say they are looking forward to a good weekend of tennis that will be competitive on the court and social off it.

Members of the public are welcome to come and watch.
