Saving whales ‘humbling’ Kate Russell Reporter

When Nelson woman Mary Seelen woke up on Friday to the news of the whale stranding in Golden Bay, she automatically knew she had to go and help.

PAGE 14-15

With a few days off before her teacher training course started, and her four kids at school, her husband said – ‘just go.’ And, it was the right decision - as what followed was a “life changing experience” for Mary and her 13 year old son, Brodie. About three-quarters of the

400 pilot whales that beached themselves on Farewell Spit on Thursday night died before rescuers arrived the next morning. Another 200 were found alive on a nearby beach on Saturday morning, with most making their own way back to sea at high

tide that night. Volunteers then successfully refloated the 17 that were still stranded on Sunday. Mary says that she lost count of how many buckets of water she tipped over the whales over the 10 hours she was out in the water on Friday. “Project Jonah briefed us on the

do’s and don’ts, such as that you never stand in front of the whales’ heads – it can make them stressed as that’s where their sonar system is.” Mary says that many of the people helping on Friday were

DOC have decided that the dead whales will be moved with a digger further up Farewell Spit to the area of the nature reserve that is not open to the public, off the shore and into the dunes.

Andrew Board Another curve ball has been thrown at the project to raise money for the Tahunanui Modellers Pond, with a new report suggesting the modellers group may have to come up with more than the $600,000 already stated, for the project to go ahead. Councillor Mike Rutledge says the initial report showed the cost to empty the pond, concrete it and refill it so that it would no longer have unsightly algae, was $1.2 million. The previous Nelson City Council pledged to contribute $600,000, if the volunteers behind the modellers group raised the rest. But a new report to be presented at the council’s sport and recreation committee on February 23 is expected to show that those costs were miscalculated and it’s more likely to cost much more. So far the society has been able to raise a little over $100,000 in cash and negotiate discounts

Cr Rutledge says that isn’t fair on the modellers society and means the current plan should be revisited by the council. “I think it was incredibly unfair is that there’s a proposal put in place where basically the modellers are asked to write a blank cheque.” He says he wants to hear from Nelsonians about whether the pond should be concreted and cleaned, or returned to an estuary with the rest of it transformed to park space. The second option is expected to cost $690,000. “But that [cost] was prepared by the same people that came

up with the [wrongly calculated] $1.2 figure in the first place so I don’t know how much confidence we can have in that being the number,” says Rutledge. When the previous council announced last year the current proposal, the Tahunanui Modellers Society had until this month to come up with their share of the money. If they couldn’t, then the pond would be filled in. Cr Rutledge says in light of the new costs he says the council may need to rethink the proposal.

Cars and yarns attract big crowd Locally Owned and Operated

Jessie Johnston

Nelson car owners got the chance to show off their pride and joy, as well as the restoration story behind it, at the Nelson Motor Show over the weekend. The annual event runs over three days and is a celebration of motor vehicles in all their various shapes, sizes, sounds and ages. Organiser Steve Steele says this year’s show was once again a great success with around 5800 people attending the public show over Saturday and Sunday, while close to 400 cars from owners all around the country were registered. Tony Anderson from Atawhai had both his 1970 Plymouth Road Runner and 1973 Dodge Challenger there on the day as part of the Mag and Turbo display. Both vehicles were brought over from America. “The Dodge was a bit of a wreck,

My partner would say that I spend far too much time in the garage. I’d come home after my job and I’d spend three to four hours a day just pottering.” While the restoration of the Dodge is complete, Tony says he still has a way to go with the Plymouth. Tony’s tip for anyone looking

you couldn’t drive it, whereas the Plymouth could still be driven but there was lots of rust and holes,” says Tony. Being neither a mechanic nor engineer by trade, Tony took on the restoration process with his own self-taught knowledge. “I’m handy I suppose, my grandfather was mechanical and had old cars, but I also had lots of friends,

to take on a vehicle restoration is to choose your project wisely. “A good friend said to me, ‘make sure you pick the right car when you do a car restoration because if you run out of love for it, you might not finish it’ and I did, I picked the right cars because as soon as I finished one, I started the other and I’d do it again.”

Volunteer-less shops Locally Owned and Operated

Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

A severe lack of volunteers at Hospice Shop Nelson has hit “crisis point”, with it having to shut its doors twice in the last fortnight. Shop manager Dianne Timbs says she is surviving day-by-day on what volunteers she has at the Bridge St premises, but a lack of new recruits is impacting the shop’s ability to operate. She says it is getting harder to find new volunteers, and it is also more competitive with a number of charity shops in the city.

“[Having to shut the shop] was such a hard decision to make. It breaks my heart,” says Dianne. “While the volunteers here always do everything with a smile, it is stressful having to ring people and say ‘can you please come in again today?’”. The shop, which is one of five in the region, is a vital fundraising source for the Nelson Tasman Hospice. It delivers approximately half of Hospice’s funding ‘shortfall’. Dianne says she’d love to get a new mix of volunteers, including students and corporate workers. “There are some employers out

there who let their staff take a longer hour lunch break to volunteer for a while, and I also have a couple of lovely high school students who help after school,” she says. “It doesn’t matter who you are or how you help – just being a presence on the shop floor makes a difference.” Volunteer roles in the shops vary - from serving at the counter and displaying merchandise, to behind the scenes roles such as sorting donations, ironing clothes, washing, or driving the Hospice truck to pick up donations. Hospice volunteer manager Rebecca Colley says that volunteer-

ing can provide a great opportunity to learn new skills in retail and customer services. “Also, the personal rewards you get are so great and the volunteers get such a buzz from being here knowing they are helping Hospice, which has touched so many people in our community.” Other charity shops in Nelson also say they are struggling to find volunteers, too. Nelson SPCA Op Shop store manager Stacie Doyle says she has always had trouble finding people to help in her Vangaurd St store, and she does many of the shifts alone just to keep it open.

Other charity shops in the city – including St Vincent De Paul on Vanguard St and ReStore on Quarantine Rd – also say they would love to have more volunteers. Rebekah Wyatt, Habitat for Humanity ReStore Manager says they could easily have 30-40 more people and still never get to the end of their to-do list. “We are happy for people to just help out whenever they can, even if it is just a one-off,” she says. If you can volunteer your time for the Nelson Hospice Shop, contact Rebecca on 546 3912 or email reb ecca.colley@nelsonhospice.org.nz

.CO.NZ 100 whales found beached at Farewell Spit this morning: Another hundred whales were found beached on Farewell Spit on Saturday morning. It is not yet clear whether the pilot whales were part of the pod of 400 that beached overnight on Thursday in the third-largest recorded stranding in New Zealand since the 1800s. When the 400 whales were discovered early Friday morning, some 250 to 300 whales were already dead, sparking claims DOC should have acted sooner. Takaka DOC operations manager Andrew Lamason believes that the refloated survivors on Friday swam in the wrong direction and headed back into the bay. “If you were going to design a geographical trap for whales, Golden Bay is pretty much perfect.”

Project Jonah, DOC and community volunteers have been working around the clock to save a pod of pilot whales following one of New Zealand’s largest-ever strandings.

Nelson's youngest and oldest get to know each other The cheek-to-cheek grins of the babies at Friday’s Music and Movement session at the Whareama Rest Home matched the large smiles and dancing eyes of the residents in the home’s hospital wing. Each week for the past year, young and old came together as preschool music filled the corridors of Whareama Rest Home in Stoke and Oakwoods Retirement Village in Richmond. The idea to bring preschool music sessions to rest-homes came from Whareama diversional therapist Linda Smaile, when she was studying the benefits of exercise and social connections for the seniors in her care. “Even just a bit of movement can make a big difference and the residents love it, we do a mix of old nursery rhymes and songs that the residents like, and newer songs. “And they like the social interactions just as much, you’ll see them light up while they’re watching the young ones.” The free sessions grow intergenerational relationships and provide plenty of smiles, as well as getting the residents and preschoolers moving with singing story times, songs filled with actions, shaking maracas and twirling ribbons. Megan Russell has been bringing her sixmonth-old daughter Imogen to the sessions for the past three months and says Imogen absolutely loves it. “It’s great coming along each week and seeing all the smiles, you really feel like you’re giving back and it’s fun getting the rest-home folk involved with the babies and brightening up their day. Both the littlies and the oldies really benefit and it's just a great thing to do, I’d recommend it to any mum.” Held by local woman Felicity Yates, otherwise known as Flossie the Balloon Lady, the free sessions are open to under fives with a parent or guardian. Sessions run every Friday from 10am at Whareama and every Wednesday at 1.30pm at Oakwoods. For more information, go to the Preschool Music in Rest Homes Nelson Facebook page.

One hundred and nine of the estimated 3000 Cheverolet Corvettes in New Zealand will be cruising around Nelson this weekend as part of the National Corvette Convention which features a display of the classic sports cars at Founders Heritage Park on Saturday. The convention is being organised by the Top of the South Corvettes and two of the committee members, Sheryle and John Grant of Stoke, say car enthusiasts are in for a real treat. John says Corvettes are one of the most eye-catching American sports cars and, for that reason, they won't be travelling in a full convoy when they cruise through Nelson.

And it's not surprising that John and Sheryle will be lining up their his-and-hers Corvettes at Founders on Saturday. John, who has owned four Corvettes, has a 1971 Stingray while Sheryle has a 1969 model. "I've always been a car person but when you have kids and a mortgage you can't have a hobby car," John says. "So when the boys left home I thought I'd do something for me and started looking for a mid-60s Mustang. "But then a friend convinced me to get a Corvette and they been our hobby ever since. My Stingray's almost 50 years old and it shakes and rattles, but I love driving it." The Corvettes will be on display at Founders Heritage Park on Saturday from 10am to 1pm. Admission is $2 per person or $5 for a family with all proceeds being donated to a Nelson charity.

OODLES OF NOODLES: Boatshed chef Thomas Lemoine fed the masses during Saturday’s Noodle Night Market at Washbourn Gardens. One of the largest crowds the gardens have ever seen turned up for the Asianinspired night market, with the majority of the food selling out within an hour. All fourteen of the vendors on site were under the pump with several rushing to supermarkets and food suppliers to restock their ingredients and keep up with the incredible demand.

Aw, Trish was my year 1 teacher back in 1997, and even remembered me when she saw me a couple of years ago! Very lovely lady. Jade Thompson. Such an amazing teacher whom most of my children had the privilege of being taught by. Thanks for being both a teacher and a home-awayfrom-home mum, and for allowing me into your classroom to be with my kids on days when I missed them being at home. All the best for a happy and healthy retirement. Lynette Lloyd. Alcohol injuries equal two a day: If alcohol related, it should be User Pays. Not my tax dollar! Missy Luna.

And I assume their on-going care is covered by ACC? Johanna Fowler. Bylaw to ban freedom campers: Yes, about time, too! Can't believe it's taken NCC so long to act on ratepayers concerns over last few months! Dianne Couch. There are plenty of places they can stay with proper facilities that are hygienic, safe and cost very little. Mark French. Having almost ridden through three Freedom Camper Landmines on the Huka Falls track on Sunday, am disgusted at the absence of environmental awareness or just general manners shown by the freedom camping set. Time also for a border tax - call it a Green Tax - to fund toilet infrastructure in these places. And if that deters the stinky ones from coming here, I am sure Aussie will be happy to clean up after them. They spend so little as a per centage, per capita, of visitor that they are hardly going to be a loss to our tourism earnings. Mark Baker. I don't mind them in the car parks. Adds colour to the city. But fine them heavily if they litter in any way. Vibeke Friis. Campers need to go to camps, that's what there for, freedom campers are making Nelson look like a

dumping ground. Sarah Allsopp. Shame this didn't happen a long time ago. Perhaps this will remove people sleeping in the main street. Robynne Harvey. We took our grandson down to the skate park early Saturday evening. My husband started to pick up the rubbish until he was seething! They were showering with the drink fountain and alcohol cans were everywhere. It's got to stop. Julie Dayman. Yes, definitely. They should also be banned from setting up their "kitchens", chairs, etc in carparks, as they block the walkways. Come in to park and go shopping and use the toilet facilities, and then move it along. Donna Luxford. First thing I saw looking out the window Sun am at Patons Rock, Golden Bay, was a guy standing beside his illegally-parked van urinating in full public view while he and his friend admired the view. Utterly sick to death of having my space fouled by these human cockroaches. James Brown. Don't make it sound like a profound idea to ban them. A vast majority of Nelsonians have been crying out for this to stop well before the summer rush. It's a no brainer. But unless it's the councils idea it's not a good one, right? Cara Gledhill.

Both had corporate jobs in the ‘big smoke’ but with Susan originally from Nelson and after the arrival of their second child, they decided to make the move back and jumped at the opportunity to run the kitchen design business. “Every home needs a

We get the dimensions and the customers wish list which we bring back to the studio to get the design process started.” The team will put a design together within a week or two before bringing the client back in to review the concept, colours and materials. Once those crucial decisions have been made, the plans are sent away to be manufactured. “Kitchen Studio is a group of 15 locally-owned stores that share a cuttingedge factory in New Zealand for the fabrication of our kitchens, this means we get

great buying power and can offer a huge range compared to some other suppliers,” says Avesh. “As well as our own in house designer, we can also leverage designers from other stores in the group. If clients want something specific for their kitchen, we have designers around the country who specialise in specific materials and styles who can assist us as needed to bring a customer’s vision to life.” The final part of the process is, of course, the installation, and Kitchen Studio uses “the best installers in Nelson” to get the job done. Kitchens installed by the team’s contractors come with a 10-year guarantee on the installation,

Richmond Rotary’s Pete Glue, left, and Kevin Gear are hoping to attract classic car owners to the Nelson Wine and Food Festival. With the New Zealand Motor Home and Caravan Association rally beginning the following Thursday, many visiting association members have the festival on their to do list before attending the national event. Those with motor homes or caravans are more than welcome to stay overnight at Middle Earth Vineyard on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, at $10 per night, per motor home, provided they are self-contained. The show has even had international interest with holiday makers from as far away as New York and Florida emailing organisers to get themselves tickets for the big day. The Nelson Wine and Food Festival’s vibrant atmosphere is enhanced by an impressive line-up of local musicians who always succeed in getting the audience up and dancing. This year live music will be performed throughout the day thanks to Pete Madsen and family, the Dixie Prix, Cruise Control and the Neal Brothers. The event will also feature an interesting display from the

Nelson Marlborough Classic Motoring Society, including some classic boats. Once again free sunscreen and water will be available throughout the day, although organisers encourage people to be prepared for a full on day of fun in the sun. This includes bringing your own shade solutions and seating whether it’s a deck chair or picnic blanket. Ensuring you organise safe transport home is also essential to finish the day off right, which could mean having a designated sober driver, calling a taxi or making the most of the bus service which will be running people to and from the vineyard. The Great Taste Cycle Trail is also a handy option for those wanting to use peddle power. Buses to Brightwater include departure from Nelson at 10:30am and Stoke at 10:50am, as well as a bus from Motueka via Mapua.

Atkins Gallery is a new addition to Nelson, showcasing the talents of local artists who live or have ties to the city, as well as the West Coast. While Linda Atkins isn’t an artist herself, she has a background in art history and a passion for working in galleries, having previously been involved in Nelson’s Catchment Gallery 10 years ago. “I really enjoyed that and I wanted to get back into it, Linda Atkins so I decided to establish a similar type of gallery which focuses on quality painting and prints.” The gallery is currently hosting Linda’s first exhibition which gives people an idea of the artists she has involved, including pieces from Nic Foster, Alison Hale, Rosie Little, Anna Leary, Princess Hart and Jane Blackmore. A new exhibition will be put on each month and Linda says people are more than welcome to come along to the openings. As well as selling new works, Atkins Gallery also provides a resale service for private collections. For more information on Atkins Gallery, visit the website at atkinsgallery. co.nz or checkout the Facebook page. If you’re looking to sell your home, auctioning it may be the perfect solution. Summit Real Estate’s sales and marketing consultant, Sue Gibbons, is the ‘Auction Queen’, and is confident she can achieve a great result for vendors through this sales option. It is now becoming increasingly difficult to price property, due to the worry of underselling it, and this is why Sue has embraced the auction process. She has already achieved some extraordinary results for her vendors thanks to the transparency of an auction, allowing all interested parties to do their due diligence and put their hand up to make an offer. Currently her average is over $100,000 above rateable for properties via the auction method. There is a lot of background work that goes in to ensure the auction will be a success, along with the efforts of the auctioneer on the day. Sue is very grateful to be working with her experienced sales manager and auctioneer, Ben Nalder, to achieve the best possible result for those looking to sell their homes. Backed up by the Summit Real Estate team, Sue Gibbons is a wise choice when it comes to selling your home and property. Take advantage of Sue’s expertise and contact her today to discuss the benefits of auctioning your asset. For many people, running a home or business, managing a family, working and keeping a social life can be a real juggling act.

Family bond to half marathon glory

FootBall: Tasman United have secured their first win at home with a 1-0 win over Hamilton Wanderers on Sunday at Trafalgar Park. Striker Ermal Hajdari scored the winner in a match Tasman controlled to earn their second win in their debut season. Tasman welcome Eastern Suburbs to Trafalgar Park this Sunday. CriCket: Nelson will have a crack for the Hawke Cup after a Greg Hay century helped them earn a 35-run first innings win over Canterbury Country in their zone final at Saxton Fields over the weekend. They will play Bay of Plenty in a three-day Hawke Cup Challenge on Friday, February 24.

Jacob Page Jessica Young’s journey to competing in her first half marathon has strengthened her bond with her granddad and prepared her for her next career move. Jessica competed in the Buller Half Marathon over the weekend, the culmination of almost eight months of effort. One of the first faces she saw at the finish line was her grandfather, Mick Barrett, who had coached her all the way by setting out running plans, cycling alongside her during training and acting as her water boy on longer sessions. The 21-year-old was hoping to complete the 21.1km distance in under two hours – she achieved that by eight minutes. “I really enjoyed it, running alongside the Buller Gorge was really beautiful. “I’m looking forward to go-

him a call to say I had done it.” Mick says he noticed Jessica needed some guidance a couple of months ago. “I’d helped with some of her police training and she started talking about the half marathon. “That’s more my area because I’d done half marathons in my younger days and run as

a masters competitor.” Mick went about “putting some quality into Jessica’s running. He used short sprints, hill runs and longer distances over time to get his granddaughter in the shape required. “You have to get your body used to going faster, especially when you are tired,” Jessica says. “Granddad always has me up on my toes running up the hills and ensuring I keep the same speed as if I was running on the flat. “We did a 22km run out at Rabbit Island as training and granddad was really good, he’d cycle ahead of me and act as my drink station and give me encouragement as I went past,” Jessica says. Mick says he’s loved helping his granddaughter achieve her goals.“It’s an enjoyable experience training Jess, and it’s kept me mentally active and switched on."

The trio of Dempster brothers won their second consecutive Burger King 3x3 Quest basketball tournament on Saturday at the Tahunanui Beach Tennis Courts. Aaron, Nathan and Nelson Giants captain Sam Dempster teamed with Chris Duthie in a tournament where the brothers, playing as Stoke Eagles, they didn’t have it all their own way. The Eagles lost in overtime to Team Groundbound in their opening game, but gained the ultimate revenge by beating them in overtime in the final. Ironically, it was Sam who missed a free throw which would have sealed the victory in regulation time. Sam says, considering Groundbound was made up of mostly of family members of his partner, it made for a friendly rivalry throughout the day. The Eagles have earned the right to play in Auckland in the national finals next month for a spot at the world event, but Nathan says they are still weighing up their options. “It certainly would be good to play in but we know that Sam will be out with his Giants NEWSLINE ISSUE 392 commitments, so we;ll just see how it goes.

Elina Ussher wins Coast to Coast Jacob Page Nelson’s Elina Ussher has defended her Coast to Coast one-day women’s crown after surging past her main rival with pedal power on Sunday. Elina made her winning move on the final bike leg, after being passed by South Africa’s Robyn Owen on the 67 kilometre kayak leg, winning her fourth women’s Kathmandu Coast to Coast longest day world championship title. “I ran my own race today and wasn’t really worried about the other girls,” she says. The 11-time competitor says she was also pleased her fitness level held up throughout the day. “I managed to do the race with no cramp this year, so that was awesome. “I knew Robyn [Owen] was an amazing kayaker and she came past me quite early on and I was thinking 'oh no, she’s going to put 20 minutes on me, she’s really amazing, she’s just a machine,' so I was surprised I was only five minutes behind heading onto the final bike.” Ussher quickly went to work on the bike to reel in the South African Coast to
