A company alledgedly offering government or council subsidies on hugely inflated quotes to insulate homes in Nelson is attracting a growing number of complaints and is “likely” to be breaching the Fair Trading Act. Comfortmaster is a North Island-

based business, which according to its advertising flyers, does home heating, insulation, LED lighting, ventilation, cooling and water filtration. It has been cold-calling Nelsonians in the evening, asking if they’d like a free quote to insulate their home. Nelson Weekly has spoken with four people who invited representatives of the company into

their home to quote. For each of them the initial quote was around $6500 to $7000, which works out to be around $57 per square metre. The industry standard is about $17 per square metre. The home owners were then told they were eligible for a government or council subsidy which would bring the initial quote down to around $4000, still about $30 per square metre.

Nelson City Council told the Weekly that it does not have any such subsidy or grant. EECA, the government agency which offers the subsidies for home insulation, says Comfortmaster is not one of its contracted service providers and urged people not to fall for their “bullying tactics”. But Comfortmaster says all of the residents have misunderstood the

offer. It was, in fact, a discount offered by Comfortmaster because of their “superior buying power” and the over-inflated quotes were a mistake by staff. Ross Wylie, who lives on Mount St in Nelson, says he was first contacted by Comfortmaster late last year. This month he agreed to a free quote.

Fire-starter urges others to learn from his mistakes Andrew Board The man whose fire sent black smoke over parts of Richmond last year says he’s embarrassed and remorseful. Brett Mytton has owned land near Three Brothers Corner for more than 30 years and had numerous controlled fires over that time. But a fire to burn an old fibreglass boat last May ended with him facing a maximum sentence of a $300,000 fine or two years in jail. He says the boat was salvaged by a friend after it was wrecked on the Boulder Bank. After salvaging some parts from it, they’d decided that burning it would be a good way to dispose of it. Brett says that decision was “an error of judgement”. He is now undertaking a restorative justice process, which includes donations to the Richmond Library and the Richmond Fire Brigade, as well as an article in the Weekly to educate the community about open air fires. “I did a pretty silly thing and I’m facing the consequences of it. I’m still to face a judge and see what they say. But I’ve put my hand up and pledged guilty, and I feel a lot of remorse and embarrassment about my actions.”

A home warming warning He says the quote for his 121 square metre home was initially $7000 but that was reduced to $4071.45, “after the government discount”. But 20 square metres of his floor area was concrete and another 75 square metres was inaccessible for an installer. Meaning the area quoted should have only been around 25 square metres. Ross believes Comfortmaster are unethical because they told him he could get a government subsidy and the amount quoted was about eight times more than he needed to pay.

“

it is a bullying sales pitch. This is just poor commercial practice really and taking people for a ride. - Robert Linterman, EECA residential general manager.

“It’s very important for people to get a second quote. Very important. They’ve given a dishonest assessment when a human being couldn’t actually do the work,” he says.

“Likely” breach of act: A Commerce Commission spokesperson says the practice of offering government subsidies when they are not authorised to

seeing from these guys is obviously over-the-top and all I can say is, for people in the marketplace, really look at getting another quote and don’t be bullied by these guys, because it is a bullying sales pitch. This is just poor commercial practice really and taking people for a ride.”

An order sheet prepared for Ross Wylie that shows a “discounted” price of $3868.95. do so is a likely breach of the Fair Trading Act. “The Commission has not investigated this matter, but in general it would likely be a breach of the Fair Trading Act to say that a government agency subsidy is available, when it is not. “Any claim of savings must be based on accurate information, as demonstrated in the recent Bike Barn case, where the two Bike Barn companies were fined $800,000 for exaggerated discount claims. Bike Barn claimed bikes were ‘half price’ when, typically, they were not. Consumers are urged to seek written quotes, and check price claims.” Robert Linterman, the residential general manager for EECA, says Comfortmaster has never sought to become a government provider. “It is a concern if they’re saying [they have subsidies] because they don’t. So what are they offering? Are they offering an inflated price and then putting a discount on it and saying ‘that’s the government subsidy’, when in actual fact it isn’t?” He says that there may be “some legal avenues” his office could look at. “The pricing that we’re

Customers ‘misunderstood’: Comfortmaster area manager Marc Stewart responded to the allegations on Friday. He says people who have complained about being offered a government subsidy had “misunderstood” and that the “discount” is because of Comfortmaster’s buying power. “The [insulation] product is certainly EECA-approved so they may be getting confused with that,” he says. “There is a subsidy, but it’s a discount. It basically comes from Comfortmaster having around 80 per cent market share and it comes from getting the price from the manufacture down.” He says Comfortmaster’s initial quotes are higher because they offer a superior product. When told that all of the people spoken to by the Weekly had been quoted between $6500 to $7000 before the “discount”, and asked

“

That sounds pretty high to me, I don’t know, I’d have to look at what he’s [another staff member] quoted on to be honest, but that sounds way too high - Marc Stewart, Comfortmaster area manager.

if that was a fair price to install underfloor insulation in a 120 square metre home, he acknowledged it wasn’t. “That sounds pretty high to me, I don’t know,

I’d have to look at what he’s [another staff member] quoted on to be honest, but that sounds way too high.” In a written statement on Monday, Marc says Comfortmaster have launched an investigation into the concerns raised. “At Comfortmaster we pride ourselves on providing a quality product at a reasonable price. “We have a team of five based here in Nelson, covering the West Coast and Marlborough regions, and they work with a maximum install price dependent on several factors. That price can be discounted based on a specific criteria including accessibility, labour required, the product used and the location of the home. “We have launched an investigation and are grateful to be advised that customers felt there could be an issue. The contractor in question is standing down while we investigate. We are affiliated with several North Island councils and have installed under government programmes, however we do not do this in the South Island. Our clients are encouraged to seek a second opinion if they wish and can cancel at any stage without fee or penalty.” ‘You have to be honest’: According to EECA, the only government-approved home insulation provider in Nelson is Absolute Energy. Its owner Paul Brockie says he has heard of a number of complaints about Comfortmaster. “We don’t mind competition at all, it’s what business is all about. But you have to be honest and up front. My message to people would be ‘don’t sign anything and get another quote’.” Have you been contacted by Comfortmaster recently? If so, how did you find the experience?

More concerns over quotes: Another man, who didn’t want to be identified for fear of retribution, spoke to Nelson Weekly last week just hours after he had a Comfortmaster representative at his house. He says he was offered a government subsidy if he had a Super Gold Card, a discount card for those over 65. “They gave me a quote which was originally about $6500 or $7000, but we ended up with a figure of $3696 for this work [after the “subsidy”]. I said ‘that’s fine I’ll think about that,’ but in the meantime, can you give me

a written quote. Well, did that provoke some interaction. Oh no, they didn’t do written quotes, it’s not company policy and he went into a long and most unconvincing explanation of why they didn’t do that.” He says the man who came to his house described himself as a South Island assessor for Comfortmaster and he was accompanied by a woman and an unmarked vehicle. “They also said the quote was only valid for 48 hours. I asked why and he said ‘oh, things change’, and I said ‘are you telling me that underfloor insulation is subject to daily changes in its price? Don’t be bloody ridiculous’.” The man says he was offered both a government and council discount. “It was quite clear, and why would they take my Gold Card details if they didn’t [offer it]?” Another man, called Brian, says he received a quote last year for his home in Stoke. He thought the price was “over the top” and was told that the quote was only valid for 48 hours, after which he would have to pay more, up to $1000. “I said to my wife after he left, ‘I’m not too sure about this bugger’. I didn’t see how these prices stack up and why they were pressuring you into doing it fast.” Nelson City Council has also had complaints to its staff, including a complaint from an elderly lady who had been offered a “council subsidised” insulation service. The initial quote was over $7000, but that was dropped to $4435.20 after the “subsidy” for her 90 square metre home. The quote was prepared by Comfortmaster.

More homes on hills Kate Russell

More Nelsonians are choosing to build their homes on steep sites, according to Nelson City Council, and several builders in the region are finding a niche market in the building boom. NCC communications manager Paul Shattock says that although they don’t record specific statistics on the number of steep sites being developed, they can “safely say” that there has been an increase in the past year. “As land value increases and flat land supply reduces it becomes increasingly economic to develop steep land,” he says. Phil Harrhy from Kickstart Homes says his building company has seen a 50 per cent increase of people wanting to build on hills in the past year. “The majority of people approaching us are people wanting to build on steeper sections,” says Phil. “It’s pretty rare to get an

affordable flat one,” he says. Phil says there is a perception that steep sites are more expensive to build on, but says that this isn’t necessarily true. “It all comes down to design. If your budget is a bit tighter than others, your selection gets down to bare minimum - but steeper sections are not really more expensive to develop if you design them right.” Phil says they build more affordable houses on hilly sections, such as those on St Lawrence St and Martello Way in Toi Toi.

They have also built on steep sites on Citrus Lane and Panorama Drive in Enner Glynn. Garry Nott from Tasman Homes also says they have found a niche market in designing and building on hill sites all around Nelson and Tasman. They specialise in top level, architectural houses. “We are only a small company and can only take on so much a year, but we find that we have had lots more people approaching us.” Garry says they had one

situation recently with a steep section that had been looked at twice, but people couldn’t get their head around it how it could be developed, and thought it would be too expensive. “There is just not that expertise around when it comes to steep sites you need to be a lot more specialised in what you do,” he says. “People are realising that it is not as hard as they think if you find the right builder. It doesn’t cost anymore, you just need to know what you’re doing.”

Nelson Senior Station Officer Rob Allan says they were alerted to the fire at 1.50 pm on Thursday, while the day before the fire brigade responded around 2 pm. "These fires generally don’t start themselves, the one on Wednesday was deemed suspicious and this one, until proven otherwise, will also be suspicious," says Rob. Both fires were extinguished by two appliances with today’s blaze just nine metres away from a house.

The scene is still under examination and motorists are warned that travel in the area may still be delayed.

VIDEO of the week: Two teenagers have been arrested following a midnight altercation in which a man was stabbed in the stomach. The Fixit Café hosted an evening meal in which people could bring damaged household items to be repaired, encouraging locals to re-use items to reduce waste and save costs. By the end of the evening, among other repairs, two bikes were back on the road, several items of clothing were wearable again, and quite a bit of IT advice had been dispensed. Motorcyclist dies in crash: A motorcyclist has died at the scene of a crash near Maruia on Thursday morning.

He was taken to Nelson Hospital and underwent surgery and is now recovering in the ward with no life-threatening injuries. The two 18-year-old local men arrested at the scene were charged on Monday. Both men arrested are on bail and due to appear in Nelson District Court on March 6. Police have completed a scene examination and have recovered a knife believed to have been involved in the incident.

Hospital garden gets a free makeover The Red Cross Rehabilitation Garden got a face lift yesterday after Wholesale Landscapes granted yet another landscaping wish. As part of their latest initiative, Wholesale Landscapes have been connecting with the community and giving away products and discounts through a Facebook ‘wish’ post. “We’ve had 60 wishes that we’ve granted to some degree,” says team member Tom Filmer. “Whether that's been help someone fill their garden boxes with compost or growing media, all the way to larger scale wishes like this one.” The rehabilitation garden is an area beside the hospital that patients recovering from strokes, surgeries and treatment use for relaxation but also for practicing or relearning how to walk and use stairs. Wholesale Landscapes, New Vision Landscapes, Red Cross, the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board and several community volunteers all got together to make the project happen.

delighted to see work happen. They have been stopping by the garden twice a week since 2015, to weed, plant, deadhead and maintain the area. Val saw the story reporting Wholesale Landscapes' wish promotion in the Nelson Weekly and decided to stop by to see if she could get some compost for the garden which has hard soil, not great for growing plants. “When we got the call saying they’d do more than just compost, I could not believe it, and it’s absolutely snowballed from there. “We’re quite excited, so many people are going to benefit from this and that is exactly what this is all about.” The makeover included replenishing the shell path which provides a different texture for patients to walk on, digging up the hard soil in the gardens and adding compost, creating more gardens, adding more plants and tidying up and spraying the lawn.

New line pricing from 1 April 2017

The prices in the table below are used to charge electricity retailers in the region served by Network Tasman. Electricity retailers determine how to allocate this cost together with the energy, metering and other retail costs when setting the retail prices that appear in your power account. Network Tasman’s prices cover the cost of its local distribution network and the cost of national transmission of electricity. Network Tasman’s distribution price component will be increasing by 0.75%, but this will be offset by a reduction in the transmission price component. Overall, there is no change to Network Tasman’s total price.

New build for Hospice on track Kate Russell Nelson Hospice has started their journey towards building their $14 million new home in Stoke, securing land and about half of the total estimated cost of the project. But the project is very much still in the “early stages”, according to Hospice’s fundraising and marketing manager Pamela White - with the real fundraising drive yet to begin. Pamela says that initial estimates indicate that the land, build and fit-out will cost $14 million in total, and they already have $7 million towards the project which comes from a mixture of reserves, careful savings, investments, assets and bequests/donations. Last March it was announced that Hospice would need to find a new site due to the expansion of the Manuka Street Hospital. They have recently confirmed the purchase of a 1.4ha site on Suffolk Rd. As a charitable trust, the Hospice will be applying for a range of national and local capital grants, identifying potential major donors, and securing in-kind donations for the build and fit-out, as well as asking the general public to contribute. There is no government funding available for the project. Various groups have already pledged money for the development, such as the Red Knights Motorcycle Club who raised $700 through their recent spring bike ride. “There’s a lot of planning work to go on behind the scenes. But we’re looking forward to letting the public know when we have detailed designs drawn up, and more information about how they can be part of the project,” says Pamela. In the meantime, she says that donations are being gratefully received and held in a general building fund. It is envisaged that the build should be completed by December 2018.

Nelson youth gets ready to laugh Kate Russell Nelson’s up-and-coming youth comedians will be rubbing shoulders with some of the best in the business this weekend. Comedian and television personality Guy Williams is coming home to headline ‘Laugh Nelson - Youth Comedy Show’, this Saturday evening at NMIT’s Johnny Cash Room. Theatre sports teams from Nelson College, Garin College, Waimea College and Motueka High School will be showing their stage talent with quirky improvisational comedy sketches. Organiser Paul McConachie from Youth and Community Works says they are very excited to be bringing Williams back to perform in front of his home town. The show has been made possible thanks to support from Nelson City Council and NMIT, and Axel de Maupeou from NCC says they hope to make it an annual event. “It is a great opportunity for students to showcase what they have been working on and get some audience feedback,” he says. Tickets for the show are just $10 plus booking fee and are available from Ticket Direct online or at the Theatre Royal Box Office. Paul says that door sales may be available on the night, but with a “line-up this epic” it will be highly unlikely, so advises people to get in early to avoid disappointment. ‘Laugh Nelson - Youth Comedy Show’ will be held from 5 - 7.30pm this Saturday, 4 March, in the Johnny Cash Room, G Block, Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology (NMIT). 011649 Summer Harvest Fair Poster A4_v3.pdf

of waiting, the winning design for Nelson’s new welcome sign has been revealed. Local designer Andy Clover has won the competition to design a sign to replace the outdated ‘Nelson: Live the Day’ sign on Atawhai Drive (SH6). The new sign was installed last Tuesday. Entries, which closed last November, had to contain the words ‘Welcome to Nelson’ and were judged by a panel of executive board members from Arts Council Nelson along with staff from Nelson City Council. Andy works mostly for himself as a designer at Go Ahead Punk Ltd and as Creative Director at 7 Design Secrets. He says his design wasn’t inspired by “anything in particular”. “I approached it with simple fundamentals in mind, really - legibility and boldness are important for a sign of this nature and the font was a nod towards the creative people and industries of the region,” he says. “I wanted it to look friendly, fun, welcoming and a bit ‘arty’, without being too overdone. Obviously the colour choices were made to support the sense of the outdoors, beaches and bright skies and sunshine which is such a big part of what makes this region so attractive.” In the past, NCC has gone to design companies for signage, but decided this time to go to the public, offering a prize of $2500 for the winning entry. The competition attracted entries from those as young as seven through to 82 year-olds, with the range of submitted imagery being as diverse as the age gap. Chair of NCC’s community services committee, councillor Gaile Noonan, says that Andy’s design met the brief “perfectly”. “It’s great that we are able to revamp our ‘Welcome to Nelson’ sign with something fresh and inviting, while also showcasing a local artist,” she says. “A big thank you to everyone who took the time to send in their submissions, it was fantastic to see the effort from so many people wishing to make a warm welcome sign for locals and visitors.” The winning design will also be used by NCC for other promotional purposes.

Opinion

Your Voice Kaiteriteri Motor Camp: In regards to people moaning about the bookings at Kaiteriteri Motor Camp. I'm going to join in on the band wagon. If you want to go there, be prepared to get told off, for loud music, talking too loud, whispering only at 8.30pm. Curfew is 10.30pm. They mucked our booking up trying to charge us for two children we didn't have. I image it to be like a P.O.W camp. Camping's meant to be fun, over there it's not anymore. Cam Lankshear. Boat ramp attack, for taking photos: Disgusting people need to learn to grow up and get along and have a peaceful country. Lisa Harding. I'd imagine Jason works diligently building his business brand DNA boats, so he's unlikely to stuff it up poaching snapper! The whole region is hot fishing, so where's the logic? I'd say Jason and DNA are owed an apology. Allen Theunissen. Its a sad day when you can't go about your business without vandals. Jill Stanger. One time I was shooting pigeons at a mate's place and a neighbour pulled up and started abusing us, something about poaching and petrol thieves. People like that don't even bother listening. But anyway, would you risk abusing someone holding a shotgun? Ross Chisnall.

Two fires in two days: What is it with these arsonists, putting lives in danger. Brenda Kenny. Saw the fire engine up the track yesterday when I was 'bout to leave to pick up kids from school. Kim Hobbs. Lets be good hosts until bylaw introduced: Yes, definitely treat our visitors with respect. Locals stalking them and not being nice verbally and taking pictures is not making it better while Nelson waits for a bylaw!! Tania Laing. We also have to remember it's not the campers fault they camp in areas where they get told they are allowed. They can't help it if the area is a car park in town. Jordy Soole. So, no matter what they do, we have to turn a blind eye. 'There, there, nice freeload camper people, just s^$% where you like, park where you like and make as big a mess as you like and we'll clean up after you". I don't bloody think so! If they love the region so much they would treat it with respect. Steve Lawson. Well said, there appears to be so much animosity towards freedom campers, yet they are fairly harmless, mostly young travellers, enjoying

I wonder how many people put themselves in their shoes, and probably would be doing the same thing, whilst travelling! Robin Hoogenboom. Fresh welcome for missing artwork: Madness! And the council says 'no' to giving Community Patrol $4000 pa for petrol to keep our streets safe. Linda Hobden. I used to drive past this daily. It's so bloody ugly and such a waste of money. There are so many things in Nelson needing fixing. But hey, let's spend thousands on what looks like human skin hanging out to dry. Kelsey Harris. Yeah, I could see this being damaged from the wind and rain from day one, let's see how she holds up this time. Chaz Snith. Not sure why the council paid to have it fixed. If I commissioned an artist to make something for a specific area under the consumers guarantee act, I would be expecting it to work as paid for. The supplier would be the one paying for it to be fixed and working. Sometimes this council just astounds me. Johanna Fowler. Good to hear it's going to be back up, but the cost? Crazy!

Menzshed are making a “last chance” attempt to establish a shed in Nelson. The Menzshed Wakatu committee have being trying to set up a shed over the last three years with varying success but no shed, to date. President of the committee, Graeme O’Brien, says they are asking Nelson City Council for tangible assistance, and will be presenting at the public forum of the community services committee this Thursday. It’s not the first time Menzshed have asked the council for help – last year they were rejected a space at Founders Heritage Park as they “didn’t fit their vision,” according to Graeme. Although he says that Founders would be the ideal spot, they would take anything suitable that was offered. “Anything in Nelson would be fantastic - and the bigger, the better,” he says. “Also, it’s not like it’s a new idea - it’s been tried and tested and there are so many different people we can provide for.”

Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Menzshed is a community organisation that has chapters through New Zealand and Australia. It allows men from the community to come in and use tools in the shed for various projects, from restoring furniture to building items for other not-for-profit groups. It also provides a space where men can exchange skills, interact, speak out and be educated about health issues. Greg West, who is a keen supporter of getting the Menzshed up and running, says there is a “real need” for something like it in Nelson. “I’d love to pick up some of the techniques from the older guys, help with projects for the community and network with other men,” he says. Another supporter, Jonathan Thorpe, says he has seen similar sheds that have helped men to create a “sense of self-worth”

and learn self-sufficiency. John Luff, who is a member of the popular Waimea Menzshed, says that they currently have 170 members - 40 of whom come from Nelson. “The Waimea shed is just so busy with projects that it’s hard for them to mentor others,” he says. With having more than one location, it would spread the load a bit better.” Graeme says he will soon be stepping down from being the committee’s president, because of family reasons – but he wants to make sure the shed has a home first. “What I’m trying to do is get momentum from council to get a space, and to get a new committee on board so we can pass it onto the next group.” If you want to find out more about how you can support the establishment of a Menzshed in Nelson, you can contact Graeme O'Brien on 0221942516 or email menzshed.nelson@gmail. com.

Work on the upgrade is now in full swing, and contractor Hawkins Infrastructure is working its way up the street replacing a 50-year-old cement water pipe with a new, larger and more durable pipe to deliver water to central Richmond homes and businesses. That means there are significant changes to access and parking on Queen Street itself. Please use the ring road and park and walk to Queen Street. The good news is that Queen Street’s shops and cafes/restaurants are open for business as usual. The footpath is open at all times during the day, so you can get to the shops you need to with a short walk.

What you need to know • The footpath is open to pedestrians at all times during the day. • Queen Street is closed to vehicles from Gladstone Road to the McIndoe Place intersection. • The McIndoe Place intersection may be closed for short intermittent periods. • Sections of the street are one lane at times, and the key intersections will be closed for a day when the pipe is laid across them. Please follow the instructions of Stop/Go workers.

Parking • Parking on Queen Street is limited. • There is all-day parking available at the Richmond Showgrounds on Lower Queen Street. • P60 parking is available in the Papps Carpark off Cambridge Street. • You can get to businesses in the Resene carpark – Resene, Best4Less, Dominos and Tuatara Structures – either by turning off Gladstone Road, or via Oxford Mews. • Roast House customers may park in the Resene carpark. • Parking and entry to Village Cycles, Sabai Sabai Thai Massage and Thai Noodle House is available from Oxford Mews.

February 26 marked both the 10th anniversary of Nelson’s St John Friends of the Emergency Department (FED), and the final day for original volunteer Colleen Jamieson. The St John FED service first began on February 26, 2007, with local Colleen at the helm. As team leader for exactly 10 years, Colleen has been recruiting and training volunteers, creating rosters and spending hours in the Emergency Department supporting staff, patients and their families or friends. “There have been quite a few memories made over the years, I’ve had a lot of good ones and a few sad ones, but I’ve kept every roster since day one and could put a face to just about all of the 116 volunteer names that we’ve had.” Among the highlights 5

ful. “It was a lovely send-off, a complete surprise, I knew we were celebrating the FED’s 10th birthday but they managed to keep the cat in the bag with me.” Colleen says the people will be what she misses most about the role. However, Colleen won’t be far away, helping with fundraising and appeals for St John. Sarah McCabe says Sunday’s event was

the perfect way to celebrate the milestone and those who have made it happen. “As well as acknowledging the ten years, it was a really nice opportunity to thank the volunteers who give a lot of time to the service, and a really nice time to acknowledge Colleen, our retiring team leader." Colleen will be replaced by Jeanette Douglas, who has been alongside Colleen, training for the role, for the past 12 months. The group are looking for more volunteers. Anyone interested in this role is invited to attend an information evening on Tuesday, March 14, at 5pm at the Stoke Baptist Church. To register your interest or for further information please contact Sarah McCabe, St John Nelson. Phone 548 8157 or sarah.mccabe@stjohn.org.nz.

Boulder Bank walk joins in beach cleanup The annual Knapps Lawyers Boulder Bank Challenge will be part of this year’s Big Beach Cleanup. Nelson West Rotary Club stages the challenge every year, busing people from Wakefield Quay to the Wakapuaka sandflats so they can walk 9km to the Southern end of the Boulder Bank before returning to the quay by boat. This year’s challenge will take place on Sunday, March 12. Organiser Jim Sinner says the walk usually attracts more than 200 participants, many whom voluntarily pick up rubbish along the way. “A lot of rubbish keeps washing up on the Boulder Bank. Each year people pick up several cubic metres of rubbish and we bring it all back to the shore to tip. The Boulder Bank is home to several species of nesting birds, some of which are threatened, and clearing the rubbish helps to improve their nesting environment.” The rubbish gathered this year will count towards the Depart-

The Boulder Bank Challenge will this year be a part of the Big Beach Cleanup. ment of Conservation’s Big Beach Cleanup – a big community cleanup of Tasman Bay beaches and other coastal areas between Tonga Island and Cable Bay that’s planned for Seaweek 2017. A highlight for many – particularly children - is the chance to visit the lighthouse. "The lighthouse is a focal point and marks a point near the end of the walk where people can unwind, purchase something from the BBQ and refuel before tackling the last 20 minutes of walk to the boat pick up point. The historic display in the lighthouse is worth a look

and the view from the top is magnificent.” For those not able to do the 9km walk, there is an option of getting a boat both ways. Fundraising from the Boulder Bank Challenge goes towards supporting Coastguard. Jim gave special thanks to all the sponsoring businesses that make the event possible. Tickets for the bus/boat option are $20 per adult and $12 per child or taking the boat both ways is $25 per adult and $15 per children. Tickets can be purchased from TSB Bank, Stoke Garden & Landscapes, Knapps Lawyers or at gilly@knapps.co.nz

Eco-friendly school fundraiser

A number of new strategies are in place to help make this year’s fundraiser at Clifton Terrace School a waste-free event. To be held on Friday, March 3, Tea by the Sea is set to be a fun-filled evening of delicious food, with a full programme of entertainment, but not at the expense of the environment. On previous occasions, as little as one carrier bag of waste was all that was created, despite catering for hundreds with a wide range of entrees,

main courses and desserts. This year organisers would like to see waste reduced further still, not least because the school is now a Green-Gold rated Enviroschool. “We always aim to be a zero-waste event and this year there will be a greater focus on making sure that food stalls have the capacity to reduce and recycle their waste,” says teacher Nick Kiddey. “In addition, the recycling station will be manned by school children and we will be aiming

Waimea Irrigators Ltd survey draws to a close Lifestyle block owners and irrigators on the Waimea Plains should have received an information document and survey in February. The survey is seeking expressions of interest in the purchase of shares which will fund Plains water users’ equity contribution to the construction of the proposed Waimea Community Dam. Waimea Irrigators Limited would like to thank all those people who have sent back their survey forms. The survey is drawing to a close, so if you haven’t returned your survey forms yet please post them back by the end of this week. If you have any questions about the survey please contact Natasha Berkett, Waimea Irrigators Limited Project Manager at Natasha@waterforlife.nz. Our region has experienced a wetter than usual summer. Despite this, flows in the Wairoa River are beginning to drop. Recordings show the flow in the Wairoa River at the gorge is now only a few days away from the levels at which the first rationing cuts (20%) would be implemented, if a decision is made not to proceed with the dam. These cuts will affect all water users who do not have a permit that is affiliated to the dam, and/or shares in Waimea Irrigators Limited. In a normal year, we would see the current flows in early January, and with no significant rainfall water users would now be facing very severe restrictions. The Waimea Community Dam is seen as the best long-term (100 years), cost-effective water supply solution to the region’s water supply shortages, which have actually been occurring for many years and will only worsen under the changes soon to be implemented under the Tasman Resource Management Plan. Other options, and there are many, have been fully considered and discarded as not meeting the multiple objectives that the dam does – including security of supply for our current and future urban populations and new minimum flows in the Waimea River that the Tasman District Council must give effect to under the National Policy Statement Freshwater. Waimea Irrigators Limited is working with both councils in the region to progress the dam. The survey is a critical first step, which will be followed with the issue of a full Product Disclosure Statement and share offer around the middle of this year.

to measure and record all waste streams to help with better future management, while contributing to the learning opportunities the event provides.” Money raised from the event will, among other things, help fund school camps and playground equipment. Tea by the Sea is on from 5pm to 7pm. It will happen come rain or shine and those attending are urged to please bring along a plate, cutlery and a glass-free cup.

Following the recent review of the MoH guidelines for the decontamination of methamphetamine - contaminated properties, the trigger levels requiring a property to be decontaminated are set to be raised in early April. This allows us to make changes to our approach to decontamination and gives us the ability to reduce decontamination costs, as in far more instances the need to remove building materials and expensive fittings will be reduced. Over the last four months we've developed new processes and conducted trials, working alongside our main suppliers to prepare for the introduction of the new levels.

Giants triple threat revealed Jacob Page

Curtis Washington, one of the Mike Pero Nelson Giants’new imports says he can see he made the right choice in coming to Nelson. The big man and current Guam international says he was in talks with multiple National Basketball League teams, but believes he will fit right in at the top of the South Island. He, along with fellow Americanbased import Joe Slocum and coach Alan McAughtry, arrived in Nelson last week and training is already underway with Nelsonbased players like captain Sam Dempster, Bronson Berri, Ali Grainger, Riley Bensemann and Tom Ingham. Curtis, who was recruited by former Nelson Giants coach Tim Fanning before he left to be an assistant coach in Israel, says he knew after two days he made the right decision. “I was talking to a few (NBL) teams but Tim said I’d really enjoy it. “Tim got his chance and he had

Alan says he wants the relationship between and himself and his players to be “organic”. “I need to get to know their strengths and the style of play they are used to playing, and then

they will be coached. “I know with New Zealand players that if you come in and say 'it’s my way or the highway' that it won’t end well. “Having said that, I’ve left family

back in Melbourne to be here and I have my hard hat on and I’m ready to get back down to work.” Alan says both American imports could learn from the local players. He also reserved early praise for Bronson Berri. “He’s an athletic player with a big body who can shoot and I’ve been very impressed. “I want to send all the players away from this year with a better skill base than what they had coming in.” The team will have a preseason tournament in Blenheim where Alan is hopeful of getting major minutes into the legs of his imports and local players. Joe has a turn of pace which is quite good, and he looks poised and is a better three-oint shooter than I thought. Curtis has mobility and the ability to sheet the mid range and three-point shot and his post moves will be crucial. Most importantly, both guys have turned up fit and ready to go.” The Giants open their NBL season on the road against the Southland Sharks on March 16.

Local secures fifth SI TQ title Locally Owned and Operated

Jody Scott

Former Waimea College pupil Jeremy Webb secured his fifth South Island Three Quarter Midget title in six years with a commanding display at the Milestone Homes Top of the South Spedway on Saturday night. Jeremy, now based in Christchurch, was always going to be the car to catch, and while it’s been a mixed season for him, when on form he is unstoppable. Starting on pole position for the first qualifying heat he led from start to finish. He was off the back in his second heat and cruised home in second place knowing he had pole for the 25 lap feature. The feature race was marred by a host of caution flags and many restarts. Jeremy's win was made easier when Jayden Corkill’s car broke its steering arm on the second lap. It sent the car sharply left into the path of Morgan Frost. Alicia MacLauchlan was unlucky, having been relegated two spots in the opening

Kyle Glover and Liam McCoubrey were left to fight over the other podium positions.

Kyle lost power steering which made turning the car pretty hard in the dying laps. The side cars fronted with 10 bikes, the biggest field so far this year, for the HQ Cafe Best Pairs competition. The meeting was dominated by Adie Drake

Veteran happy to 'earn' his place Jacob Page Sports Editor

sports@nelsonweekly.co.nz

At 51-years-old, Darryn Cunningham is happy to earn his place in Richmond Athletic’s first XI. While many may consider sliding down the grades for a more social time in football, Darryn is happy to put in the hard yards in preseason training and earn his spot in the heart of the midfield. Darryn first had a taste of senior football as a teenager. At 17, in the mid-80s, he was playing National League football, marking the late All Whites captain, Steve Sumner. “I remember leaving stud marks on Steve Sumner’s chest. Then, three seasons later, he poleaxed me in a challenge, stood over me, and said ‘that’s for what you did three seasons ago’, smiled and helped me up."

Darryn came through the Nelson Suburbs junior grades and then went to Nelson United for their colts and national league opportunities. “I had Napier City approach me to come and play and an offer to play in Australia, but I was a young kid from Nelson just enjoying life." Darryn has been on both sides of the Nelson Suburbs and Richmond rivalry, but he’s enjoying his time at Richmond. “I like the relaxed atmosphere and there are two coaches in Steve [Clark] and Matt [Campbell] that I’d run through a brick wall for at 51." Darryn thinks the Richmond side he was part of last year didn’t handle the swings in momentum of the league season. “Back in my day, when you lost you sulked for six days until you got to play again on the seventh. “The young ones these days don’t

his time in the first team had come and gone, but he believes

Rugby: Talented 19-yearold fullback Will Jordan has signed a two-year deal with the Tasman Makos. The 19-yearold former Christchurch Boys’ High School player was a dominant attacking player in the UC Championship. Will scored 19 tries in 11 games during the competition in 2015 to be the leading try scorer that year. Football: A high-flying Tasman United won’t play again until March 12 due to the OFC Champions League. Tasman is on a two game winning streak but will have to wait three weeks to play Team Wellington.

he still has plenty to offer. “I think that I don’t have many seasons left and if someone wants my spot they can earn it, and if they do I’ll sit on the bench and say well done.” He says he's not ready for masters football yet and that he still has the desire to compete at the highest level in Nelson. “I’m still think I’m very competitive, I don’t mind training and I have the body that allows me to do it." Darryn’s son Isaac has transferred from Richmond to FC Nelson this season. He says he's looking forward to playing against him after a year on the same side in 2016. “I hope he scores a hat-trick... but that we win 4-3. "But I can tell you for sure he won’t be scoring three goals, because I’ll be marking him.” The Nelson Bays Football first division season kicks off on April 1.

SporTS Tasman United captain Paul Ifill has been sanctioned by New Zealand Football for criticism of a referee, but avoided a fine. CRiCket: The Nelson Griffins proved no match for Bay of Plenty in their Hawke Cup Challenge at the Bay Oval on the weekend. Nelson’s timid challenge was eventually ended when they were dismissed for 275 in pursuit of Bay of Plenty’s 469 for 9 declared. Only opener Mason Thelin (69) and Nelson College wicket-keeper Nic Clark (63) made any sizeable

contribution. golF: Sam Nichols won his second consecutive Maitai Masters golf tournament over the weekend. Sam blitzed the field for a combined score of 103 over the 27-hole tournament, to win by 10 shots at the Waahi Taakaro course. touCH: The Tasman Secondary School Touch Tournament at Tahunanui Fields was decided by points differential after a three team tie at the top. In the end Waimea won to progress to the South Island Championships, with Motueka finishing second while Garin was third.
