Multicultural Youth looking to recruit new members Erin Bradnock Multicultural Youth Nelson Tasman might be coming out of a busy year, but the group shows no signs of slowing down with big plans for 2022.

MYNT is currently made up of six different cultures with each member sharing a passion for making Nelson-Tasman a more tolerant place.

The group of locals, aged 13 to 24, is currently made up of six diverse cultures and meet weekly to plan upcoming events and goals for MYNT. In 2021 the group were instrumental in planning the Multicultural Nelson Tasman Festival in Victory Park last March.

Other projects include movie nights and ‘random acts of kindness’ where the group visited the Wood retirement village, providing food company and cultural performances for the residents.

Multicultural Nelson Tasman’s administrations and projects officer, Ramiesha Perera, says the group of youths are an inspiring bunch.

“They’re really committed and keen to give back. They make you feel inspired about the future,” she says.

Looking ahead, deputy chair of MYNT Sakchi Niraula says they are hoping to host movie days, talks, a football tournament, another visit to a retirement village and the multicultural festival in March. “We want to go into primary schools to talk about respect, positivity and racism, and work with their schools on their diversity days,” she says.

MYNT will start the recruitment process in the new year.

Rachel Boyack reflects on ‘difficult’ year in politics Erin Bradnock Nelson’s Labour MP Rachel Boyack says she has been reflecting on the highs and lows of a “difficult” political year.

On top of Three Waters, housing and Parliament culture, the ongoing impacts of Covid-19 are front of Rachel’s mind after a divisive political year.

“Covid has been one of the toughest parts of the role,” she says. “It has been a tough year for absolutely everybody, I don’t think there’s anyone I met who hasn’t been affected by it.”

In response, vaccination mandates have been a source of national and local outrage with protestors streaming down Nelson’s main streets in November.

Rachel views Nelson’s late November outbreak as exemplifying the need for mandates.

“We’ve seen the benefit of the vaccinate mandates in our schools. In the two schools where there were cases, because the teachers were vaccinated, that stopped it becoming a super spreader event.

“I know that there are children there who could’ve suffered significant health problems if they had caught the virus.”

Rachel says the community’s high vaccination rate, the quick

Rachel admits that Covid-19 hindered the Government’s ability to communicate other controversial issues like the Three Waters reform, which also led to protests in the region. “It’s an issue that, to be honest, if we hadn’t been stuck in lockdowns, we would’ve been able to have some good public meetings on and it is something absolutely we are looking at doing in the new year,” she says.

Rachel stands firm in her support of the Three Waters Reform ahead of public consultations that will be going ahead next year.

“One of my frustrations with

this is that the councils that stand to benefit from this the most are also some of the ones pushing back on it,” she says.

Alongside public consultation on Three Waters, addressing housing shortages in the region is a priority for Rachel.

After opening six new homes earlier this month, the Nelson Tasman Housing Trust has a goal of 100 new homes over the next five years.

The Resource Management Bill was passed into law on December 14, aimed at unlocking more housing in our growing cities.

Councils, like Nelson and Tasman, may opt in to implement the medium density standards if the Ministers of housing and environment consider there is the need.

Harbourmaster urges safety this summer Stuart Whitehouse Nelson Harbourmaster Warm water, calm mornings, afternoon sea breezes and long evenings.

We are so lucky to have this great marine playground on our doorstep and it’s great to see people out enjoying it already this summer.

Nelson also has a few challenges for watercraft with strong currents due to some of the highest tidal ranges in NZ. All that water moves through a couple of narrow gaps- the Cut and Rocks Road/Haulashore Island.

With the wind blowing in the opposite direction, these areas can get treacherous, especially for small craft. One to watch is the sea breeze (Northerly wind) working against an outgoing tide.

During summer months the port and fishing traffic continues.

With lots of recreational traffic there is huge risk here which in part is managed by the Nelson Navigational Safety Bylaw which describes exclusion zones when shipping is present.

When a ship is entering or

departing, this closes off the dredged channel area (from red marker #1 to #9).

Ships often have tugs alongside which also need the ability to manoeuvre quickly. They displace a lot of water which is hazardous to other vessels.

Check the shipping schedule and plan to avoid these times, most movements occur in the two hours up to high water. Monitor Channel 12 on VHF radio as shipping movements are announced on Nelson Harbour Radio. If in doubt, call up to check if anything is expected

(compulsory for vessels over 20m or towing whilst transiting the cut) Have a plan, check the weather, tides and follow the five golden rules: 1. Life Jackets: Take them – Wear them. Boats, especially ones under 6m in length, can sink very quickly. Wearing a life jacket increases your survival time in the water.

It’s compulsory in Nelson to wear them on a vessel under 6 metres.

2. Skipper Responsibility: The skipper is responsible for the safety of everyone on board and for the safe opera-

tion of the boat. Stay within the limits of your vessel and your experience.

3. Communications: Take two separate waterproof ways of communicating so we can help you if you get into difficulties.

4. Marine Weather: New Zealand’s weather can be highly unpredictable. Check the local marine weather forecast before you go and expect both weather and sea state changes.

5. Avoid Alcohol: Safe boating and alcohol do not mix.

Things can change quickly on the water.

Return of the Classic Motorcycle Show The Nelson Classic and Vintage Motorcycle Club bike show has become a New Year feature in the region and will be back again for 2022.

The show will be held on Saturday, 1 January and Sunday, 2 January in the badminton hall at Jubilee Park in Richmond.

The show is a display of club members’ bikes and as new ones are acquired there is always something interesting to see.

There will be the well-known brands on display like Triumph and BSA plus some rarer machines from Europe and the USA. Doors open from 9am and entry is $5 for adults or free for kids. All the usual safety requirements will be followed.

Pocket park for Collingwood Street A community planting day will mark the completion of a new pocket park on the edge of the city.

The pocket park outside the NCMA building, near the corner of Collingwood and Nile Streets, is the inspiration of Rory Langbridge Landscape Architects. It will provide a pathway through a garden setting, and seating where the public can relax and watch

music being made and rehearsed in the building.

The design incorporates a Harold Pastorius sculpture titled ‘Out Black Spot’, donated by generous Nelson art lovers Kay Pastorius and Joe Waller.

This sculpture is the only Pastorius work created using a steel beam from his art studio. A prolific artist, he created over 30 significant artworks in public places

The event will run from 9am to 3pm, unless the region has moved to ‘red’ in which case it will be cancelled.

“We got advice from local government, and the committee has decided it’s safe for us to go ahead with extra safety measures in place.”

Those include mandatory mask wearing, unless an exemption can be presented. Visitors will have to sign or scan in, although no vaccine passport is necessary.

NCMA director James Donaldson says that frustrated musicreaders inside the building might well find the thought of eliminating black spots appealing.

“After more than a year of planning it was exciting to see site

preparations begin earlier this month.”

He says the project has inspired real generosity from the community.

“Working with Rory and his team has been a real pleasure from concept to reality, and we’re so grateful to contractors Asphalt and General whose support for the project comes in addition to a demanding work schedule in

the lead-up to Christmas. Thanks also to a number of local nurseries who are contributing native plants and trees.”

Nelson City Council and the City of Nelson Civic Trust were major project funders.

The community planting day is on Saturday 22 January with anyone welcome to head along to help. Please email NCMA at music@ncma.nz for more detail.

for children will also be scaled back significantly to avoid overcrowding. “We’ll still have buskers and performers, but they will have to adhere to the 1m distancing rule, so it will be more structured than previous years.”

With so many cancelled events in the region, Sheena says she’s just happy the market can go ahead.

“It’s a shame about the lack of games and seating as it will detract from the overall festive market day atmosphere, but the feedback so far has been really positive as people are just pleased we’re able to run in the current climate.”

Richmond market day is going ahead The annual Queen Street takeover has been given the go-ahead, after much chopping and changing of plans to fit in with the new Covid traffic light system.

The market is one of the most diverse of its kind in the Top of the South and sees more than 100 sellers from across the country pitching up to showcase their products.

Event co-ordinator Sheena Murtagh says, with so much choice the market is a great day out for both browsers and serious buyers. “There’s a great mix of local sellers and a few from further afield with a variety of offerings,

COVID-19: The coronavirus pandemic was undoubtedly the biggest news event once again in 2021, with Nelson going back into a Level 4 lockdown in August. We covered everything from the first vaccinations in March, schooling from home, sports cancellations, how businesses and the arts sector fared, all while keeping locals informed with what services were running over lockdown. We also interviewed the people that were offering kindness in a time of need. In November, Covid returned to the region for the first time since 2020 with two schools closing temporarily and vaccine mandates being introduced to some, and then in December, the region navigated its way into the new traffic light system.

June 10 after 30 years representing the region. Nick lost the Nelson seat at the 2020 election to Labour’s Rachel Boyack and said he decided to retire for personal and professional reasons, including a Parliamentary Services inquiry into an employment issue.

NELSON FUTURE ACCESS PROJECT: Waka Kotahi NZTA confirmed what direction they will take with their Nelson Future Access project - adding priority lanes to Tāhunanui Drive and Waimea Rd, a slew of traffic

lights at major intersections, with a long-term plan to redevelop Rocks Rd. The project received endorsement from Nelson City Council in October, and it was then endorsed by the Waka Kotahi board in December. The two organisations will now work together to apply for funding for the various components of the programme.

The project has produced a 30year plan designed to improve and increase walking, cycling, and public transport opportunities close to urban areas.

HOUSING: Many Nelsonians struggled to find a home again this year, with both house prices and rents continuing to climb.

More Nelson motels were transformed into emergency accommodation and Nelson’s median house price in November climbed to $736,000 - a 9.9 per cent increase from the previous year. As well as talking to the people struggling to find a home, we also looked at those finding creative housing solutions - such as houseboats, campervans, and tiny homes. More housing de-

velopments progressed, including Kāinga Ora’s plan to create affordable and social housing in the city, the controversial 750home Kaka Valley housing development, and Habitat for Humanity’s rent-to-buy development in Stoke.

NELSON’S LOST PROJECTS: This year some of our headlines would have already been familiar to some, as we looked back on five bold Nelson City Council proposals that could have transformed our city centre into a vibrant hub. These included the proposal to upgrade Church St into a ‘Bohemian Quarter’, the Kirby Lane container mall, a dedicated performing arts centre, a playground for Rutherford Park, and the Montgomery Square pocket park.

DANCING FOR A CAUSE: After being delayed in 2020, eight local personalities hit the dance floor in May to raise money for Nelson Tasman Hospice. The group collectively raised more than $125,000. Nelson’s Abbie Cook and dance partner Anthony Hewson were named winners of the evening.

Happy new year!

Thank you for all your support and love this year.

We look forward to serving you next year and more!

Columbian street food hits Trafalgar St Erin Bradnock Friends Blanca Portillo and Nadia Estrada are bringing their Columbian cuisine expertise to Trafalgar St as part of a new food truck venture.

Blanca and Nadia met five years ago when they arrived in Aotearoa under the country’s refugee quota.

“We met in Nelson through parties with friends,” says Nadia.

Nadia’s husband Oscar Muñoz explains they were in a “hard situation” back home in Cali, Columbia, and have loved living in Nelson since.

“It’s a beautiful sunny place with lovely people we’ve met here.

Now we have the opportunity to show our culture and food,” says Oscar.

Nadia says she raised the idea of starting a business with Blanca earlier this year.

Just a few weeks later Nadia was enquiring with a food truck hire business after seeing one crop up on Facebook, and ‘Delicias’ was born. “We want people to get to know the delicious food from our region,” she says.

The pair have enjoyed working with one another, seeing customers be happy and satisfied with

New sites suggested for region’s growth A joint project to cope with the region’s growth over the next 30 years has identified 200 potential sites for residential and business growth.

The Nelson Tasman 20212051 Future Development Strategy (FDS) has helped identify some key preferences and new sites of interest.

The FDS is a joint project between Nelson City and Tasman District Councils which assesses and sets out where and how residential and business growth within both regions will occur over the next 30 years.

It looks to increase affordable options for residential and commercial sites by enabling growth and planning for a range of housing types including smaller, denser housing.

The council teams have assessed 200 potential growth sites suggested by planning consultants, landowners and developers in the Nelson-Tasman region.

In the Tasman District, 154 sites were suggested, including growth areas outside of the urban environment in such as Tapawera, Murchison and Golden Bay. Of these sites, 60 were included in the 2019 FDS and 74 were new sites, while 20 emerged through community consultation.

In Nelson, 46 sites were assessed. Most of these were included in the 2019 FDS, but seven were new sites. Ten sites were included in the 2019 FDS, but redefined following assessment.

Feedback received from the community and stakeholders during the engagement process included a preference for intensification over expansion. It was also identified that proximity to public transport, jobs and amenities was important.

Concerns arose over how affordability is addressed, social housing is provided as well as

how the FDS will implement the Carbon Zero Act and contribute to reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

Stakeholders also provided information relating to key projects that should inform the FDS, including the National Resilience Programme Business Case, One Network Framework, Hope Bypass, Nelson Future Access, and the Richmond Programme Business Case.

Identification of infrastructure required to support the growth areas is underway, while liaison with developers and iwi is ongoing.

A draft of the FDS is being written and is expected to be completed by February 2022.

This will be followed by public consultation beginning in March 2022. The strategy is expected to be finalised by July 2022.

Local History exploring our

Campbell family history – Part Three John Cretney

Enjoy your flying toys this summer but stay away from power lines Drones, model aircrafts and kites make great Christmas presents, but if you aren’t familiar with the rules of flying there is potential for things to go very wrong.

We want everyone to enjoy their unmanned aircraft this summer and we also want everyone to be safe, especially when around electricity. Flying drones, model aircraft and kites close to power lines can quickly ruin the fun and put people and property at risk.

Model aircrafts, kites or drones touching power lines or equipment can risk causing a flashover, explosion, fire or electrocution.

Flying too close to power lines won’t just damage your aircraft, it can ruin Christmas for those affected by the risk of a power cut.

Remember, judging distance from the ground or via an onboard camera is difficult and it does not provide an accurate measurement.

Here’s what you need to do to help you stay safe: z

Always fly your aircraft in an area free of power lines and associated equipment

z

Keep your aircraft within your line of sight at all times

z

Fly drones and model craft in clear, calm weather when it is easier to see them and keep them under control

z

Only fly your aircraft during daylight hours

z

If your aircraft becomes entangled in power lines or electrical equipment, or flies into a substation, phone us on 0800 508 100. We will safely retrieve it for you.

The team who work on and around our lines are trained to enter these facilities safely and are on call to help.

Have fun and play safely this summer!

Alan Le Grand Campbell had not seen his father George since 1916, so in 1928 he took a secondment as Adjutant to the Wellington regiment to get some time in New Zealand.

Sadly, his mother had died in the 1919 flu epidemic.

During his visit he married Barbara Marchbanks, youngest daughter of James Marchbanks, chief engineer of the Wellington Harbour Board.

The following year, he was re-posted to India and, under parental pressure, the couple were persuaded to leave their baby John in the care of his grandmother as it was thought a child wouldn’t be able to survive conditions in India.

However, second son Donald James Campbell (known as Hamish, who was the descendant featured in the medals story in the Nelson Weekly recently) was born soon after their return to India. So, on their next leave to New Zealand, they firmly collected John, and took both children back again.

After India, the family returned to Glasgow, the regimental Headquarters. Soon after their arrival, industrial Glasgow became firmly gripped in the throes of the slump and promotional prospects in the army became very limited.

Alan decided to resign his commission and return to New Zealand where conditions for bringing up a family were considerably easier.

After looking unsuccessfully for properties around Wellington, they considered Nelson and finally bought the Glasgow house off Station Road (now Songer Street) where they moved to in January 1937.

The land agent was very lucky to make the sale as he produced a very early photograph soon after the house was built in 1914 that showed a gaunt house standing in a bare paddock – to which Barbara commented, “I don’t want to live

William Hastilow was a tireless worker. One day when using bullocks to haul logs to his sawmill he was badly hurt when a bullock crushed a pole across his throat.

The accident necessitated spending a considerable amount of time

in hospital. Once recovered, he left milling and returned to gardening, his former profession in Newcastle – laying extensive gardens and grounds at Mt Heslington for George Miles. William died in 1882 at age 57.

The kitchen was dark with varnished match lining and a single light on the ceiling. The house itself was cream with red facings and the half timbering was in black. This was a common colour scheme of the period. Based on family lineage as Campbells of Aberuchill, the Campbells adopted the name Aberuchill for their Stoke home. To do this Captain Campbell sought approval in the late 1930s from the 7th Baronet Sir Jack Campbell (a younger man and his cousin once removed) who was head of the sect at that time. Sir Jack, born in 1884, died in 1965.

Nelson’s own ‘litter lady’ Erin Bradnock Reporter

erin@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Nelsonian Genie Em, 67, has spent a lifetime cleaning up after others and her one wish is for others to take equal care with our environment.

Genie was disturbed to find Stoke’s Youth Park covered in litter before it had even been officially opened.

She says littering is a constant practise in the region and more should be done to deter litterbugs. “I think this country lets itself down, you need to have respect for yourself, respect for other people and for the environment,” she says.

Genie’s go-to spots for clearing up litter include the beach reserve and along her paper run which she calls the “Broadgreen Mile”.

“It’s too easy to fill a bag up with rubbish,” she says.

Genie’s litter collecting has gained a following from all over the world through her Instagram and Facebook pages @Genie_Em. “I’ve heard from one person in Norway and another from Syria who want to hear all about the litter lady,” she says.

Genie feels she’s been rewarded

Coming away with a top South Island marching award was more than just another win for Angela Miller.

The “Champion Display” win for the Empire squad also became a reunion of old friends to honour the memory of their coach, Shelley Palmer, who died suddenly from cancer, aged 50.

“I’ve been marching my entire life off and on,” Angela says. “From around 2000, I marched in a Christchurch team called McVicar with Shelley Palmer as the coach.

Over the next four years, she led us to become Champion NZ Team, not once but twice.”

When Angela moved back to Nelson, she carried on marching with a local team but still had a few seasons travelling back to Christchurch to march with her old coach and friends. Over the years, Shelley ‘retired’ from marching, but came back to it more recently. “Some of her old girls, all now in their 30s and 40s, had started a new team called Empire. One of our coaches, Keryn, was one of the original McVicar girls and our other coach Sam has also been coached by Shelley in the past.”

Shelley died last year of pancreatic cancer which was diagnosed suddenly and she was gone within months. “The reason I wanted to march for Empire this season is that whenever I caught up with Shelley at competitions over the years, she was always still in ‘coach’ mode even though I was in a different team. But most of all she remained a good friend.” As Angela lives in Richmond and Empire is Christchurch-based, she’s had to battle with her fear of flying to make the trip for training, twice a month.

“I’ve been going down every second weekend for either a training weekend or a local Canterbury competition, which has been fairly exhausting at times.”

She says that as most of the girls in Empire have been coached by Shelley at some stage, it would be great to take another NZ Champion team title this season. “We spend a lot of time reminiscing and talking about her and what she would be saying or doing.”

Shelley’s legacy lives on as the impact she had on the women has inspired them to organise a memorial trophy in her honour.

“We are going to win it… hopefully,” Angela says.

Kalani brothers dominate the pool Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

They may have polar opposite personalities, but when it comes to winning in the pool, brothers Lono and Maicah Kalani have plenty in common.

The pair recently dominated the Nelson/Marlborough long course championships at Nayland Pool, winning every race and taking home a haul of 20 gold medals to add to their vast collection.

Lono won 11 golds with nine individual and two relay wins, while Maicah claimed nine golds, with his only loss coming in the relays.

Lono also managed to break a backstroke record which had stood for 14 years.

The boys say it was great to be back in the pool after a frustrating season of cancellations.

“It felt really good, it’s been a hard year,” says Lono.

The boys have also dominated

Brothers Maicah, 11, and Lono, 12, won a total of 20 gold medals between them at this month’s Nelson/ Marlborough long course swimming championships. Photo: Jonty Dine. previous long-course championships, winning gold in all three appearances.

“We’ve got a few medals,” says

Lono. The brothers share a typical sibling rivalry in the pool, though Lono is comfortably ahead in the bragging rights department.

“I have beaten him once,” says Maicah. “Out of about 10,000 races.” The younger Kalani says he is determined to even the

ledger. “It’s never going to happen,” jokes Lono.

After learning to swim at Riverside, the boys made the natural progression to competing.

“I like racing all my friends,” says Lono. Their success isn’t limited to swimming, with the Kalani brothers also shining in crosscountry and triathlons, while Maicah is a promising basketballer and, unlike his brother, enjoys the physicality of rugby.

Having recently joined the Tasman senior swim squad, Lono is having to acclimatise to 4am starts.

Lono will attend Garin College next year while Maicah starts St Joseph’s Intermediate.

Though they have had similar success in swimming, the brothers are very different.

Lono is more laid back and relaxed while Maicah is the more animated and competitive of the pair. Maicah hopes to play in the NBA while Lono wants to remain in New Zealand.

Year in Sport

College’s winning run A dominant season was capped by a dominant performance as Nelson College cemented its status as the best first XV in the South Island in 2021. Nelson was far too strong for Highlanders schools’ champions Otago Boys High, dispatching the southerners 27-19 in Dunedin to win the South Island Championship. A late comeback flattered the scoreboard for Otago, but Nelson proved a class above at Forsyth Barr Stadium.

Nelson College are South Island rugby champions.

Bennett breaks his hoodoo Nelson cyclist George Bennett claimed his first national road race title in February, soloing to victory at the New Zealand championships in Cambridge. The JumboVisma rider ended up winning by nearly two minutes, but it was a hard-earned title as he attacked repeatedly before finally breaking free with 8km to go. George previously finished runner-up behind Hayden Roulston in 2013 and behind Shane Archbold last year, and he also tasted silver in the time trial on the Friday.

A rivalry for the ages Though the season was cut short, Nelson’s top two netball sides once again showed how little separates them following two nail-biting clashes in 2021. The first meeting saw a solitary point the difference after Prices survived a furious late comeback.

After trailing the first two quarters, Prices pulled out to a four-goal lead with five minutes remaining and held its nerve to win yet another classic clash.

The ledger was squared following another epic showdown and once again it was just single goal that separated them. Jacks exacted its revenge with a 42-41 win and ended Prices’ eight-match unbeaten streak in the process.

Richmond shock Rangers Richmond won the 2021 Nelson division one football championship after edging past Rangers AFC 1-0 at the Renwick Domain. Defending champions Rangers had set the pace all season and went into the final round-robin match tied on points with Richmond, but with a better goal differential. That meant a win or draw would have handed the home side back-to-back titles. The deciding goal came around the 75th minute as Rangers lost the ball in midfield where it was picked up by substitute Lee Merrion. His low shot struck the home side’s post, ricocheting off a Rangers’ player and into the net.

Griffins win Hawke Cup Nelson won the coveted trophy for a twelfth time after playing out a draw with Canterbury Country at Mainpower Oval at the end of January. Centuries from Nic Clarke (172) and Joseph O’Connor (120) helped the Griffins post a daunting total of 365 in its first innings. It looked as if Nelson would make easy work of Canterbury’s line-up, with the cup holders struggling to 162-8 before the tail well and truly wagged. Zak Foulkes grinded his way to 92 from 255 balls backed up by his number ten Fraser Sheat with 76. Thomas Zohrab eventually made a double breakthrough as he took 4/48 to dismiss the hosts for 325.

The Nelson Griffins won the Hawke Cup for a twelfth time in January.

Mako come agonisingly close The Tasman Mako had its quest for a hattrick of titles foiled at the hands of Waikato in November, going down in the Premiership final 23-20, in a thriller. It began with a fairytale season, an unbeaten run to an inaugural premiership title in 2019. The Mako followed this up with a gritty effort against a highly-favoured Auckland side to go back-to-back last season. However, a third consecutive crown has eluded the side in a season where the squad was ravaged by injury and depleted through All Blacks duty.

Blind bowler goes back-to-back Steve Delaney from the Stoke Bowling Club defended his national blind bowls title in January. Steve won the National B3/ B4 Singles title for vision-impaired players edging out Dunedin’s Kerrin Wheeler 21-18 in a titanic final at the Sunnybrae Bowling club in Glenfield. To win he had to break an 18-all deadlock and achieved it in the next end by scoring a three at the Summerset National Singles and Pairs Championships.

for New Zealand as he had been throughout the tournament as the All Blacks won a silver medal for the first time in history.

Marist complete three peat Down by one with five minutes remaining and sporting a broken nose, Sam Briggs stepped up to attempt the winning points in the Tasman Trophy final. Sam was just four days out from surgery after the break occurred in the semifinal against Waimea Old Boys. However, there was no thought of sitting out the big dance as he looked to send his father into retirement on an historic note. Sam weathered his storm of nerves and a rapturous crowd to nonchalantly slot the penalty and put his side ahead. Kahurangi had one last chance to steal it at the death, but Sam produced another match winning play to strip possession and end coach Gavin Brigg’s storied career with a hat-trick of titles.

Marist celebrates its nail-biting 20-18 win over Kahurangi in the Tasman Trophy final at Trafalgar Park in July.

Waimai women make history After being on the brink of folding just one year ago, the Waimai United women’s hockey team can now call themselves champions for the very first time. Waimai took out the premier women’s division in dramatic fashion. Locked up at 1-all after regulation time with Federal Rawlings, Waimai went on to win the shootout 4-2 to cap a sensational season. Waimai had dropped just a single game all year, scoring 53 goals and conceding just 16.

Mika calls time One of the greatest to have ever worn the black singlet, Mika Vukona called time on his career after a 16-year stint in the Tall Blacks. Mika retired from international basketball after a typically selfless display of love and commitment to his country.

Throughout his epic career, Mika was highly respected by both Nelson Giant and Tall Black supporters.

Nelson shines at Maadi It is one of the most prestigious competitions in New Zealand secondary schools sport. At Maadi, 35 Nelson rowers representing Nelson College, Nelson College for Girls and Waimea College returned from the regatta with one gold and two silver medals. Top honours went to Ollie Ransom and Rico Fraser from Nelson College for taking the gold in the Boys U18 Double Sculls in a convincing win. Capping an unprecedented season of success, Nelson was named the best rowing club in the country.

Valued Team brings Wealth of Experience

Three years ago, Brendon and Rochelle Mathews first opened The Bike Station in central Nelson and today the vibrant, expanding business has fantastic stock and a passionate, experienced team.

Rochelle says contrary to what some may think, Ebikes aren’t a lazy option.

“Ours are pedal-electric, so you still have to pedal but you get assistance as

you need it, so they’re suited to anyone, including those with a medical condition.

“Using an E-bike allows me to get uphill quickly and ride for longer.

They’re great enablers. I can do a

Staff are a massive part of The Bike Station. “Without them, we wouldn’t be here today,” Rochelle says. From the outset, Brendon and Rochelle have been focussed on having high-quality staff and, because they all have significant experience with bikes, the couple have 100% faith in their ability to provide fantastic service.

Yohann, who is from the UK, says, “It’s been useful to experience how bike shops operate in other countries, including New Zealand.

I picked Nelson because of its awesome mountainbiking trails and The Bike Station had cool brands, a nice workshop and it’s a great place to work.” Meanwhile, two-time national track cycling champion and national record

holder Kaio, loves working at The Bike Station while teaching young bike enthusiasts (in schools) how to ride and it helps build up the local junior base.

Hunter, who has recently left college has been working fulltime at the store since November last year.

“I’ve done a lot of mountainbike racing, so my passion has inspired me to work here as a bike mechanic and be part of the mountainbiking community. It’s an awesome business and getting to work on bikes all day long is great.”

Lindsay, who has been with The Bike Station for just under two years, says he had been looking to get back into the bike industry as a mechanic after a stint in Whistler, Canada. “This is a nice place to work; a good bunch of guys. They have the same kind of passion that I have for mountainbiking, so it’s a no-brainer really.”

Finally, Sam began working for the business in December after moving from Auckland.

“I started as a customer and ended up working here; I love the team; we all get on well. It’s always a good sign of a great workplace
