This Week
Local dog best tracker in NZ Nelson police dog Saegar was crowned the best tracking police dog in New Zealand last week. Saegar, with handler Julian Lewis, also finished second overall in the four day National Police Dog Championships in Trentham last week. It is the second time the duo have taken out the runners up award with Julian saying one challenge let them down this time round. “We were only 25 points off winning, we dropped points on one exercise and that cost us but I’m pretty pleased to do so well again. He is a special kind of dog and was pretty unlucky not to take it out.” It was also the second time they won the Colin Guppy Trophy for best tracking dog. “I’m very pleased to win that again, that award means a lot to us and shows how good Saegar is, he is a fantastic tracking dog and hopefully we’ll have another crack at the top title next year,” says Julian. Another Tasman pair, senior constable Richard Van Ash and Havok placed eighth overall and four of the top eight dogs in the competition were fostered in CHAMPION: Nelson police dog Saegar and handler Julian Lew- Tasman, which includes Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough. is with the Colin Guppy trophy for best tracking dog in NZ

Recycling bins around Nelson will recycle thousands of tonnes of glass, plastic and paper says Environment Minister and Nelson MP Nick Smith. The Love NZ campaign was offically launched in Nelson last Friday and is timed to coincide with the Rugby World Cup. “The Rugby World Cup is the biggest event New Zealand has hosted. This campaign is about recycling what would otherwise go to landfill and showing our 85,000 international guests that we care for our environment. This is about turning large volumes of waste into an opportunity to reinforce our clean, green brand,” says Nick. Bins are in high profile sites like 1903 Square, the Saxton Field sport complex, Tahunanui Beach Reserve and Trafalgar Park.
