Freedom camper bylaw Council to discuss bylaw after blow back from residents over campers Andrew Board Editor

andrew@nelsonweekly.co.nz

A freedom camping bylaw will be discussed at the Nelson City Council’s first full meeting next month after backlash at the way the issue was handled this sum-

mer. The bylaw would mean that unless the vehicle is self-contained, like a campervan, freedom campers would be forced to stay overnight at a motor camp. Most of the vans that freedom campers drive are not self-contained.

The number of freedom campers in the region has been a cause of concern for many locals this summer and many have taken to social media to comment on where they sleep and the rubbish left behind. After the Kaikoura earthquake in November, the council sent a

ers areas, which included toilets, WiFi and other amenities. These areas at Atkerson St at Port Nelson, Haven Rd near Anzac Park and Paru Paru Rd near the Trafalgar Centre saw more than 3500 campers stay in them from

request to central government to allow an urgent freedom camping bylaw to help cope with the expected influx of tourists no longer able to use State Highway 1 down the east coast. The request was declined, so the council agreed to spend $80,000 to create three freedom camp-

Locals join in busker fun Jessie Johnston It wasn’t just street performers from around the world who had people in stitches at the Nelson Buskers Festival over the weekend, a few locals got in on the act as well – even if they weren’t too keen. The festival sees performances not just on Nelson’s main street, which was held in conjunction with the Trafalgar St Market Day, but at Fairfield Park, Mapua Wharf and an adult-only cabaret at The Boathouse. This year’s acts included Alakazam ‘The Human Knot’ from the Australia, Biggest Little Circus from New Zealand, Kamikaze Fireflies from the USA, Mat Ricardo from the UK and Mighty Mike from Canada.

“I don’t think they have been that bad this summer, compared to other years. I think the main thing is making them feel welcome and keeping them safe.”

“I think that there should be certain places they should be allowed to go, but I don’t mind too much if they pick up their stuff after them.”

“I think it would be better if they were at motor camps, but I also think they should be allowed to use our toilets etc. I think the issue is the rubbish they leave behind.”

“Fair enough, I think its a good idea.”

But Nelson ratepayers weren’t happy at the amount of money being spent to accommodate freedom campers, who many saw as not benefiting the region financially. Other areas, like Buxton car park and the car park at Tahunanui Beach, still attracted freedom campers, despite the special areas being set up to draw them away from those areas. Deputy mayor Paul Matheson says he has received both positive and negative feedback about freedom campers. “We’ve been listening to the concerns of a large number of resi-

dents, and we are keen to start looking at our options to determine if a bylaw would be the best way to make sure our city is protected and how it might work. We want tourists to come to our fair city, but we expect them to treat it with respect. “Although we weren’t granted permission to implement an urgent bylaw for this year, I firmly hope that we could have something in place for next summer, as we will continue to receive these visitors”. He says the council would hope to draft a bylaw in conjunction with Tasman District Council so there is consistency across the region. The first full council meeting is scheduled for March 23.

Audience participation always plays a big part in the Nelson Buskers Festival, from the rapturous applause given to the street performers through to the individual helpers who are dragged up with varying degrees of compliance. Andrea Dismont-Trott, of Hope, was one of the lucky, or unlucky, souls who found herself in the spotlight during Mighty Mike’s unusual strong man show. “I was just waving at my son who was by Mac’s Brew Bar,” says Andrea. “And my friend pushed my hand up higher, he set me up. [When I got pulled up] I was like, how did I get into this, I hate this stuff.” Andrea’s contribution to the show centred around a card trick and, after selecting a card

and placing it back in the deck, Mike continued his show with the promise he would find her selection, even after tearing the deck in half. Just when the audience and Andrea thought the card had been forgotten and the show was at an end, Mike ripped off his shorts to reveal her card in the most unexpected finale. “He was a fantastic performer, great charisma and I didn’t know how he was going to find my card,” says Andrea. “I love communities that put on things for its citizens and this is just wonderful for people to be out with their families and friends on a sunny day in summer. It’s free and I love the whole donation aspect of it. My friend was saying that there’s something on every weekend for us to do, it’s just wonderful to live here.”

Alcohol injuries equal two a day Kate Russell

TOP FIVE INJURIES

Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Almost 800 people arrived at Nelson Hospital in the 2015/16 fiscal year with an alcohol-related injury – more than two a day – with hospital staff revealing it could be more. Nelson Marlborough District Health Board acting chief executive Peter Bramley released the information to Nelson Weekly via an official information act request. It shows 788 presentations were coded as ‘alcohol a factor in injury = yes’. But Peter admits that number could be higher, saying that “clinical coding for alcohol-related injury and illness may be of variable consistency due to clinical caution to state conclusively without a blood alcohol testing.” Andrew Morgan, Emergency Medicine Specialist at Nelson Marlborough Health, says there are still more reasons why the numbers of incidents attributed to alcohol intoxication could be higher. “For instance, someone may have been intoxicated, fallen

Only a very small number of people are brought to ED because they are unconscious, or can’t stand or talk. In these cases it is usually best that they are taken

The official information act request also revealed the top five most common injuries or illnesses that saw people visit Nelson Hospital’s A&E department in the 2015-16 fiscal year. They were abdominal pain, chest pain (non cardiac), head injury (minor), viral disease and sprain of ankle. The single busiest 24 hour period for the department was August 23, 2015, when there were 113 presentations with 36 admissions and, on average, the busiest day of the week were Sundays.

A convoy of motor homes is expected to roll into Brightwater for this year’s Nelson Wine and Food Festival, to be held at the MiddleEarth Vineyard next Sunday. The Rotary Club of Richmond fund-raiser has always been a popular day out for foodies, wine and beer drinkers and families, with around 3000 people attending the annual event. But this year organisers are preparing for an invasion of motor homes with hundreds of New Zealand Motor Home Association members already in the Nelson and Tasman region for two national rallies. Around 1200 people in 630 motor homes attended the Music in the Mountains Rally in Tapawera at Nelson Anniversary Weekend and many of those are staying in the region for the national motor home rally at the Richmond A & P Showgrounds from February 2327. And Richmond Rotary Club members Pete Glue and Kevin Gear say they have had a flood of inquiries from the motor home owners about the wine and food

festival. “I’ve already had about 50 calls from the motor home people so we could get quite a few of them.” Pete says. Pete says they have plans in place to cater for the motor home owners, including creating a motor home-only parking area at the Middle-Earth Vineyard. The motor homes will also be able to stay in the grounds on Saturday and Sunday night for $10 per night - there will be a pizza and a coffee cart stall situated in the motor home camp. “We don’t know how many we’ll get but we’ll find room for them if we get too many. We’ll put them in amongst the vineyards if we have to.” Pete says the festival will feature plenty of live entertainment and wine from 12 of the region’s wineries. There will also be five craft beers stalls and 23 food, coffee, icecream and craft stalls. The festival will be held at Middle-Earth Vineyard on Bryant Rd Brightwater from 11am to 5pm on Sunday, February 19. For more information go to the website nwff. co.nz

Glory Lisondra cooks some traditional Filipino cuisine at the ninth International Kai Festival. Photo: Kate Russell.

Waitangi Day celebrated with kai With the sun beaming down and an abundance of food stalls on offer, Nelson’s annual International Kai Festival at Founders Heritage Park yesterday was a Waitangi Day hit. Now in its ninth year, visitors were able to sample flavours from around the world and enjoy the diverse cultures which make up the Nelson community.

And with $3 and $6 portions on offer, people were able to try a bit of everything ranging from Filipino cuisine and whitebait fritters to souvlakis. Rechel Gillan from the Filipino Society stall says they were looking forward to sharing their traditional Filipino cuisine with visitors. “We have been at every Kai Festival so

far and always have a great time trying all the different food,” she says. A powhiri was held earlier in the day at Whakatu Marae with the always popular hangi put together by Nelson kapa haka group Kia Ngarwari. Entertainment from a range of cultural performers and local crafts was also on offer.

nelson L ve Health Board CEO leaves Nelson: The head of the region’s health board is leaving to take up a position at the Southern District Health Board. Chris Fleming had been seconded to the role of interim chief executive at Southern DHB since September, while the Commissioner team undertook an extensive recruitment process to fill the role. Commissioner Kathy Grant says Chris demonstrated that he was the strongest candidate for this position. “We are delighted that he has accepted the responsibility of leading the organisation through the opportunities and challenges of the years ahead.” Nelson Marlborough Health chair Jenny Black congratulated Mr Fleming on his new role. “On behalf of the board and staff we congratulate Chris on this appointment, and wish him every success with the challenges that lie ahead. Ms Black says that the recruitment process to find a new Chief Executive for Nelson Marlborough Health will commence immediately. Homes prices continue to climb: Nelson home values have increased by 16.4 per cent year-on-year and 5.0 per cent over the past three months, the latest monthly QV House Price Index shows .

QV Homevalue Nelson registered valuer Craig Russell says there has been strong market activity to start the year, with good numbers at open homes and multiple offers presented in some circumstances. “Demand continues to exceed supply in the residential property market and low listings levels are contributing to competition amongst buyers and driving prices up.

But in 1994, nearly 20 years after they left, she was drawn back to Clifton Terrace. John took early retirement, and after a year teaching at Victory Primary School, Trish landed a job back where she started out. “I was very lucky, I couldn’t believe it,” she says. She has been there ever since, teaching eager five-year-olds, until half-way through last year when she suffered a foot injury that forced her to stop teaching. “I don’t know when it’s going to get right, so I thought ‘I’d better stop here’,” she says. Trish says she’s had many ‘teaching highlights’ over the years, including the first time she taught two generations of one family – a mother and daughter. “Of course it happened a few more times after that,” she says. She’s even taught some of the teachers who teach at the school now. “Now they are teaching me a thing or two,” she laughs.

She also gets great pride in bumping into her ex-students around town, and although she doesn’t always recognise them, they certainly recognise her. “When I was having physio at the hospital for the first time, a woman said to me: ‘do you remember me? You used to teach me when I was five’. Trish says she will miss the people, the place and the abundant bird life outside her classroom. “Just driving out to this beautiful place each day has been a privilege. I’ve been pretty lucky - it’s a slice of heaven.” Trish will be having her official send-off in March, and she says she is “still thinking about what’s next”. “I’m going to keep expanding my horizons, spend time with my husband, children and grandchildren. I want to keep learning.” And, she says, she might even be back one day. “I’d love to do a bit of relieving or even just come and help out. You know there is always something to do here.”

Clifton Terrace School will be missing a much-loved teacher today, as the primary school starts back for the year. New entrance teacher Trish Goodman is retiring after 26 years of service to the school, dating back to the 1970s. She even met her husband there and principal Rob Wemyss says Trish will be “greatly missed”. “Trish is like the mother of the school – she looks after us, and is always the one with the funny story to tell.” Nelson born and bred, Trish went to teachers college in Christchurch and moved back home to land her first teaching job at the Clifton Terrace in 1972. Trish says that back then there were about eight teachers, no hall, and a staff room which was “the size of a shoebox.” “When the school started to grow, we had people teaching in a tent. The area was almost rural because a lot of the housing around here wasn’t here then.” It was there that she met her husband John Goodman, who was deputy principal at the time. “I was the first year teacher and he was the DP. It was a bit of a scandal,” she laughs. In 1975 Trish and John moved away from Nelson when John was appointed to Tapawera Area School, and later, Rai Valley Area School as principal. During this time, Trish focused on raising their four children and did the “odd bit”

Tastes of Asia coming to Washbourn Gardens Simon Bloomberg Night noodle markets have been proving hugely popular in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Queenstown, and now one is going to be held in Washbourn Gardens in Richmond, this Saturday. The markets are a pop-up hawker-style market celebrating the tastes of Asia and have been held in Australia for the last 18 years. They were introduced to New Zealand cities last year and this Saturday, for the first time, one will be held in the region. The market is being organised by the Nelson Multicultural

Council which started planning the event after discussing it with Tasman mayor Richard Kempthorne. Member of the council's governance committee, Jessica Diaz, says Richard was "really enthusiastic" about the market which is aimed at "celebrating our unity and diversity". "I went to one in Christchurch and it was a really vibrant environment with wonderful food and all sorts of cultural performances," Jessica says. "We talked to Richard about it at a citizenship ceremony last year and got a very positive response, so we started organising things.

"It will be a new type of event for the Nelson region so hopefully it will be well supported. Washbourn Gardens is a beautiful venue and we'll create an Asian-themed atmosphere with lanterns and decorations." Jessica says they will have a variety of stalls serving a range of Asian foods including Indian, Filipino and Indonesian, as well as Asian fusion food. The market is a fund-raiser for the council and Jessica says if it's successful they will look at holding it several times a year. The Night Noodle Market will be held at Washbourn Gardens this Saturday from 6pm to 11pm. Admission is free.

ADAM CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL: Ashley Brown on cello, and Sarah Watkins on piano, perform Beethoven’s Sonata for cello and piano during the Adam Chamber Music Festival on Saturday. The afternoon concert, Fantasy, was held at the Theatre Royal and saw the first of the cycle of Beethoven’s five cello sonatas presented throughout the festival, the first of four world premieres and the first set of Schumanm miniatures, which are also dotted throughout the event. Before the performance got under way, event manager Bob Bickerton also pointed out several acoustic panels that had been commissioned, in order to enhance the experience for both the musicians and the audience. The festival, which started on Thursday, features nine days of collaborative chamber music with international artists joining some of New Zealand’s best at venues throughout Nelson.

The upgrade is designed to increase the capacity of stormwater pipes and direct water away from buildings to prevent the flooding that devastated the central business district in 2011 and 2013. Ageing water and wastewater pipes and telecommunications and power services will be also replaced, and the streetscape modernised to create a more pedestrian-friendly space for the

Tasman District Council’s programme delivery manager Russell McGuigan says the upgrade is critical to the future of the town. “The asbestos cement water pipes are 50 years old and could break at any time – they are also too small now. That’s the main water supply to the whole business district and it’s essential for fire fighting, so they have to

be replaced,” he says. Contractors Hawkins Infrastucture Ltd will be completing the upgrade in six different stages, or boxes, along the length of Queen St. The boxes will be fully enclosed to ensure that disruption, at any one time, is limited to a small section of the street. Construction on the first section, between the intersection of Gladstone Rd to near McIndoe Place, begins today, and will continue until mid-May. The project will continue through to 30 April, 2018, with a break over the busy summer period.

Winners, return your trophies!

MARKET DAY: Tourists Nicholas Baume, left, and Sharon Koren try some handmade chorizo from Matias Cacciavillani, owner of the Viva la Vaca street food cart, during the annual Trafalgar St Market Day on Saturday. Thousands of holidaymakers and locals filled the Nelson street to hunt out a bargain and explore the products on offer. Held in conjunction with the popular Nelson Buskers Festival, the Trafalgar St Market Day featured more than 80 stalls with everything from clothes and food carts, to arts and crafts, jewellery, books and more, organised by Uniquely Nelson. Photo: Jessie Johnston.

Jessie Johnston For the last five years, the Nelson Motor Show has attracted car enthusiasts in their thousands, concluding with a prize-giving that used to feature 40 different trophies. However, past recipients have not always been keen to return them, which is disappointing for organiser Steve Steele and the show’s future winners. “Originally there were 40 trophies for various categories. I just tried to make them different to what you’d find at any other show in the country,” says Steve. “Some of these trophies are worth between $300 and $500, that’s with the model vehicle, the making of it and the engraving, nothing comes cheap, but I’ve made them to last.” Creating the trophies has also come out of Steve’s own pocket as the Nelson Motor Show is a non-profit event. Once the costs of the show have been met, the proceeds are handed over to Nelson West Rotary who use them to support charities in the community. Last year’s show saw only half the trophies returned. “I had phone numbers of those with trophies and I did leave messages, but not everyone got back to us. I’m not pushing the blame, there could be an honest reason for that, but if they could come back that would be really appreciated, so we can pass them on to other winners.” The model car from atop one trophy was even found by Steve on Trademe. If anyone does have a Nelson Motor Show trophy from last year or previous years, Steve would greatly appreciate their return. People can drop them off to Mag and Turbo in Nelson, EnviroWaste in Tahunanui or the Engraving and Trophy Centre in Richmond.

Building or Renovating? Bring us your plans Working from Plans I heard about the great service at ColourPlus in Richmond so walked in with my new house plans with wallpaper in mind. I was very happy with the customer service and range of products with selecting feature wallpaper for the house so it was an easy choice again to get ColourPlus to help me with drapes and blinds for the new build. The team at ColourPlus were knowledgeable and had some great advice using my floor-plans, colour charts and flooring choices to narrow down options, initially from off the plan, through to selecting samples to complement our colours and floorings and importantly fit in with our build budget, finally installing them to a fantastic finish to our new home.

For a free estimate for curtains, blinds or wallpaper simply bring your plans into the store or email us at info@colourplusrichmond.co.nz

I can highly recommend calling it to see the team at ColourPlus for a great product range, friendly and knowledgeable service! – Jane Fairs

Prepare yourselves for the biggest and best Nelson Motor Show yet, thanks to a dedicated team of organisers, a passionate group of car owners from around the country and, of course, those who come to admire the impressive vehicles. Previous years have seen thousands of people come through the gates, taking the opportunity to get up close and personal with cars of all shapes and sizes, talk to owners about their restoration journeys and enjoy the great range of entertainment that the Nelson Motor Show has to offer. The icing on the cake of this festival of motor vehicles is all the fantastic prizes up for grabs. In fact, organiser Steve Steele says they will be giving away around $5000 in cash over the weekend, the largest single giveaway being $1000.

Nelson Motor Show organiser Steve Steele with Gareth Caldwell from Speights ale House, one of many generous supporters of the annual event However, you won’t win anything if you aren’t there. “Entrants and members of the public are all in with a winning chance. It doesn’t matter if you have a $500 car or a $500,000 vehicle,” says Steve. The show unofficially starts on Thursday, February 9, at Smugglers Bar and Café with a registration evening, which will see one lucky participant walk away with a great prize thanks to the Smugglers team. The evening will start at 5:30pm for anyone wishing to get in early and register for the motor show, which includes Friday's Mystery Tour, Saturday’s Rock n Roll night

and the public show, or simply come along for a catch up if you’ve already registered. Day one officially begins on Friday, February 10, with the Mystery Tour, a morning out exploring a local museum not seen by many, followed by a Show and Shine at The Stables Tavern and Restaurant in Sundial Square, from midday. Vehicles taking part will leave from Speights Ale House at 9:30am, returning at around 5:30pm for the Friday evening `Super Cruize'. All those who take part in the evening cruise will be entered into the draw for some generous prizes thanks to Gareth and the Speights Ale

House crew. The public show gets underway from 10am on Saturday, February 11, featuring cars from around the country. In previous years, the show has attracted around 400 vehicles and Steve is confident this year will be just as big. The kids are taken care of too with a range of activities on offer such as bouncy castles for all ages, a boxing ring, and car rides around the holiday park. While there are a number of competitions to enter for some great prizes, two of the shows feature competitions include the Lawn Mower Motor Challenge and the Exide Strongman competition. For all DIYers and hot rod enthusiasts, grab the junk you’ve been collecting for the past decade, get together with your kids, your wife or a few mates and let your imagination run wild, using a lawnmower motor only to build something that can be driven.

Greenmeadows construction going well The new Stoke Greenmeadows community and sports facility is progressing well, with physical works starting in December last year. All demolition work was completed prior to Christmas, with good progress continuing in the New Year. All foundation levels have been built up and drainage work is now underway. Work is tracking well and it is envisaged ground floor slabs will be poured over the next four weeks; these should be completed in March. Deputy Mayor Paul Matheson says he’s impressed with the progress to date.

"This is a major project supporting our fastest growing suburb and I am pleased to see the initial foundation work – which can be some of the toughest – is going well.”

Stormwater work As part of the work at Greenmeadows, Council is diverting and upsizing an existing stormwater system via the Greenmeadows playing fields. This includes installing an above ground intake and earth bund in the southwest corner of the Greenmeadows playing fields to capture stormwater runoff which naturally accumulates at this low point. This work is scheduled to start early March and is expected to take seven weeks, of which six weeks will be within Greenmeadows field, the remaining week within Songer Street.

Network Tasman opens a new Electric Vehicle fast-charging station in Nelson Network Tasman CEO Oliver Kearney joined with Mayor Rachel Reese recently to open its third (first in Nelson CBD) public Electric Vehicle fast-charging station. The charging station is in the Millers Acre carpark next to the Nelson iSite.

Almond Tree Flat Ford removal planned for late summer Work to remove Almond Tree Flat Ford, in the Maitai Valley, is expected to take place in March 2017.

Almond Tree Flat Ford will be removed in late summer to improve fish passage in the Maitai River.

The ford is the last remaining major fish barrier on the Maitai River, and its removal will give fish clear access to the headwaters of the river for spawning. Removal will also improve the health of the river bed and reduce annual maintenance requirements and riverbed disturbance. Council has consulted with the main users of the ford (mostly walkers and cyclists), and an online survey conducted in 2016 showed 76% of users supported removal of the ford for fish passage. 67% of users supported another form of crossing such as a footbridge in the area, and planning

is underway for a business case for a new footbridge near the site. A natural river crossing will remain at the site and Council will be installing map boards at strategic sites in the area to give information about alternative walking/cycling routes and dry river crossing points. Clare Barton, Group Manager Strategy and Environment said that the removal of the ford will improve water quality for fish and invertebrates. “The removal of Almond Tree Flat Ford represents a major milestone towards the goals of Project Maitai/ Mahitahi – to help restore the river to its natural state so that we can all feel proud of it.” For more information about Project Maitai/Mahitahi visit projectmaitai.nz. projectmaitai.nz

The company will monitor use of its first three EV fast-charging stations with a view to installing more in other locations within Nelson/Tasman. All three of the current fast-charging stations are free for the public to use at this stage and Network Tasman encourages all EV owners to make good use of them so that they can ascertain the level of demand for more stations.

The Nelson Vintage Car Club’s annual swap meet keeps getting bigger and better each year and is on again this February. Starting out as a fund-raising event to help get the group’s Lower Queen St club rooms up and running, it is now a muchanticipated gathering where car club members and members of the public can hunt down a bargain. The swap meet is also a great platform

for those looking to sell their items to a large audience. “If you compare it to a garage sale, you might get 30 people at a garage sale for the day, whereas we have a target this year of 2000 people through the gate, so the number of people to come and view and possibly buy site holders items is a lot higher,” says organiser, Kevin Mercer. To be held on Saturday, February 18, at the Nel-

son Speedway Association grounds, the swap meet is full of treasures, from plants and clothing to toys, books, homeware and antiques, there is certainly something for everyone. Although it’s predominantly second hand items for sale, brand new is more than welcome, and it’s not uncommon for people to bring along surplus stock to sell. If a clean out of your spare bedroom or garage

is on your to do list, it’s not too late to book a site at the swap meet and re-home those belongings. Kevin and Ruth Mercer are happy to take people’s enquiries and set them up with the necessary information, simply give them a call on 548 6338. “Last year we had 113 sites, which was a 50 per cent rise from the year before so we’re hoping that 2017 will see an even bigger event,” says

Kevin. In fact, to keep up with the expanding event, swap meet organisers have opened up the other side of the park to accommodate the additional site holders. Gates will be open to the public from 8am with marshals on hand to help with the parking, which is free, with entry via the pit gate on Lansdowne Rd. As the event is a fund-raiser, helping keep the club up and running, a small entry fee of $2 per person is required to explore the sites. A selection of food and drink vendors will be present on the day, along with a display of Nelson Vintage Car Club members’ vehicles. Hopes are that the Nelson Vintage Car Club swap meet will one day match the great Winchester swap meet in South Canterbury. In its heyday, this event hosted around 340 sites and attracted thousands of people.

Even those without a car that meets this requirement are still welcome to come along and join the club. The group meets regularly for day runs and overnight rallies, club nights, social

clubs helping those with disabilities, out in their vehicles, as well as assisting the Cancer Society on Daffodil Day. There are many experienced members in the club, some having been with the club for over 50 years, who are always willing to help and advise new members about restorations and maintenance. The

club is also part of a national network that can help people track down parts or satisfy any other requirements. Their monthly newsletter, Crank Case, is available online or in hard copy, along with the national club magazine, Beaded Wheels, which is posted free to all members every two months. This year, vehicles from 1987 are now eligible to take part in club events, including motorcycles, and the club is keen to hear from anyone interested in learning more about the benefits of being a member. Anyone interested in becoming part of the Nelson Vintage Car Club can contact them via email at nelson@ vcc.org.nz. In the meantime, mark February 18 on your calendar and make sure you head along to the Nelson Vintage Car Club swap meet, although please note that the swap meet has a strict no dog policy.

Nelson Yacht Club's Dave Shaw is the new National Paper Tiger sailing champion and he was quickly back on local waters over the weekend. Dave dominated the final three races of the nine-race regatta at the Queen Charlotte Yacht Club last week by earning two firsts and a second in the 45-strong fleet. It is his third national title in the class and his first in four years.

FOOTBALL: A goal each from Paul Ifill and Alex Ridsdale gave Tasman United hope of an upset against Waitakere United in Auckland on Sunday, but they had to settle for a 2-2 draw. Tasman's faced an onslaught in the second half but got a share of the points. The result came after a troubled build-up which saw coach Richard Anderson temporarily relieved of his duties and his assistant Tom Fawdry choose to not travel with the team. CYCLING: Tasman Wheelers cyclist Shaane Fulton has had success at the National Track Cycling Championships in Southland. She earned a silver in the time trial and kerin and defended her Under-19 sprint title.

weight, when rigged, of around 70kg. Dave says he is always driven to win the national title but admits the satisfaction of victory isn't as much as the hunger he gains by defeat. "I should probably feel better after I win it because I don't like the feeling when I lose," he says. "However, I can appreciate when I'm beaten by good sailing and sometimes that's just how it goes." Dave and his mentor Bob

Preston are in regular contact to try to make the yacht as fast as possible. "I work hard and I train three times a week for it, but without Bob's knowledge and input I wouldn't have had the success I've had. "Bob has always had the ability to know what makes a boat go fast." Dave says he's been racing since the age of 18 when he purchased a tornado yacht which launched him into rac-

ing both nationally and internationally. He says he loves sailing because of all the variables that come with the sport. "No two days are the same, no conditions are ever the same and I build a lot of stuff for the boat myself, so there's always a lot of things going on behind the scenes. Dave was back on home water for the A-class and Flying Dutchman nationals that were held over the weekend.

CRICKET: Stoke-Nayland and Wakatu suffered their first defeats of the 50-over club cricket competition. Wanderers beat StokeNayland while Nelson College chased down Wakatu's score of 159. Waimea Toi Toi beat Athletic College Old Boys by 10 wickets. Sevens: The New Zealand Sevens team which had Tasman players Trael Joass and Andrew Knewstubb, lost to England in the semi-finals of the Sydney leg of the world circuit on Sunday. They had previously beaten Fiji in the quarters but were beaten by England 12-5 in an absorbing encounter, in a hot Sydney tournament which saw Andrew make his debut after being the most valuable player of the national tournament last month,

Trio’s contrasting road to the Coast to Coast Jacob Page Sports Editor

sports@nelsonweekly.co.nz

A trio of contrasting attitudes and ambitions perfectly sum up what it is like for three Nelsonians to be on the verge of competing in the Coast to Coast this weekend. Rachel Stanyer is keen to push her own limits after a busy couple of years. “My husband and I had a baby and we’ve just been really busy these past two years, so this was an escape.” Rachel will compete in the twoday individual Coast to Coast event while husband Adam will

compete in the Godzone event later this year. “I think I’ve got the easier deal, the Godzone guys don’t get as much sleep and rest time,” Rachel says. Rachel has been training since last May and says the main challenge has been learning to kayak for the event. “It’s funny how things have played out because I’ve really enjoyed the kayaking and I’m looking forward to the challenge of it.” Phil Harrhy is kicking off his 40s by doing the event he’s wanted to compete in since he was a teenager. “This is something that I remem-

ber seeing as a teenager and I decided this was the year I’d get off my big butt and do it.” Phil will also compete in the two day individual event but has an eye on the one day individual challenge in 2018. “I’ve got a target time of 16 hours for the two day, but you never know until you get out there,” he says.

NELSON NELSON & TASMAN

“It’s beautiful but rough country and you just never know what the conditions will be like.” Taking in the scenery will be one of the main goals for Phil, who says he’s enjoyed the solitude of training for the past nine months. “It’s been easy to get up early in the morning in the middle of winter or realise it’s raining and you have to go out in the rain and train for three hours.” That dedication to training is unlikely to stop if Phil wants to do the single day event next year. Nelson’s defending women’s one day champion, Elina Ussher, is gearing up for her 11th crack at the course.

The three-time winner will have first time Coast to Coast competitor South African Robyn Owen to contend with. Elina caught French athlete Myriam GuillotBoisset in the kayak section last year to claim the lead she held to the finish. “To me it still doesn’t feel like I have quite completely completed the challenge, there is still some unfinished business there. It seems like the field will be really strong this year and that is going to create some super exciting and close racing all the way from Kumara beach to New Brighton.” The event gets underway on Friday.

Nelson women’s team downs RNZAF XI in T20 encounters Jacob Page The Nelson women’s cricket team emerged with two wins from as many matches against a Royal New Zealand Air Force XI in Blenheim. With a number of strong teenage women players coming through the Nelson ranks, the trip to Blenheim was seen as a way of growing the group which has proved to be more than competitive nationally. In the first of two Twenty20 fixtures, Nelson compiled a highly competitive 144 for four, thanks to an unbeaten 50 off 45 balls from opener Saffron Wilson and 21 from Harriet King and 19 from

Tayla Brown. In reply the RNZAF could only muster 71 for nine, as a flurry of late wickets stalled their run chase. Nelson captain Kate Stiven grabbed three wickets while Shakia Biggs earned two wickets. Captain Stiven turned provider with the bat in the second match, plundering 38 off 31 balls to help her team through to 128 for five. Maia Radloff was the chief destroyer for Nelson with the ball, taking four wickets for eight runs in her four overs. Estella Grant captured two wickets, with Saffron and the spin of Kate Gaging and Genevieve Bone also taking a wicket each.

The international hit touring group, Nitro Circus, performed at Nelson's Trafalgar Park yesterday afternoon. They have been doing a tour around the country and enthralled the large crowd with their two-wheel antics. For more photos from the event see nelsonlive.co.nz.

Sam and Piper get national swim nod Jacob Page Two of the region's best swimmers will get national television exposure this weekend. Sam McKenzie and Piper Riley have been picked for the South Island Makos which will compete against three North Island teams at Auckland's National Aquatic Centre. The event will be shown live on Sky Sport. The two Waimea College pupils

won't find out what disciplines and distances they'll race in until closer to the starting gun, but it does give them an opportunity to compete in front of national selectors. Each of the four teams is 40-strong, with one Australian swimmer included as a "wild card". Sam says it's New Zealand's answer to American college swimming. There are 20 under-15 boys and girls and 20 16-and-over men and women. This action-packed event will take place over 4 hours split into two sessions, with the sessions being broken up by the Legends Relay which will feature a number of past swimming greats. Both teens will continue their build-up for the National Age Group Championships where a New Zealand team for the Youth Commonwealth Games will be named.

Jacob Page The Golden Edge Bowls Nelson senior womenâ€™s bowls team had a successful day at Stoke on Saturday, beating Marlborough and retaining the Ann Burn Trophy. The result was spearheaded by unbeaten performances by singles player Kirsten Edwards, the pairs combination of Dianne Potts and Kristine Greaney and the Mary Orbell skipped triple of Rae Inglis and Helen Moseley. Marlborough held a narrow 13 game points to 10 game points after the morning round, but Nelson came back strongly in the afternoon to win six of the eight games and race home comfortably in the end with a 28 to 19 game point vic-

tory. The Nelson men were the defending titleholders for both the McKendry senior men and Masonic development men trophies, played at the Blenheim Bowling Club. However, the senior men were comprehensively beaten by a very strong Marlborough team, although Nelson was not quite at full strength with the unavailability of world champion Shannon McIlroy and recent centre singles winner John Haddock. The development men narrowly retained the Masonic Trophy when they drew six games each but had a better net total of shots +18 to -18. The Nelson Development women also won its tie, giving Nelson three trophies from four.
