Mayoralty challenge likely Charles Anderson Editor

charles@nelsonweekly.co.nz

The Nelson election is heating up with at least two Nelson city councillors seriously weighing

the idea of challenging for the mayoralty.

However, some are saying that signalling such intentions this far out from the election is “unhelpful” and acting in “self-interest”.

The Nelson Weekly surveyed all

sitting councillors to ask their intentions for this year’s local body elections, which occur in September. Almost all said they would run again with some being coy about their plans.

Mel Courtney and Matt Lawrey

said they are “definitely” running for council but are also seriously considering running for the mayoralty.

“There are strong moves among councillors for change in the mayor’s office,” says Matt. “But

people are still considering their options and the best way to go about it.”

He says that many people have also come to him asking about

Surf’s up at Tahuna Kate Russell Nelson’s surf lifesavers battled windy conditions at Tahuna Beach on Sunday in what was their first competition of the season.

Around 60 competitors took part in Nelson Surf Life Saving Club Carnival, which featured IRB racing and both junior and senior competitions in beach events, beach flags, sprints, swimming and board races.

There was also a ‘run to the bay’ long haul race.

“It was a fantastic event and good competition with clubs from out of town including Rarangi, Sumner and Kotuku,” says the clubs’s sports officer, Aaron Lyttle.

“It was also good build-up for the juniors looking to go away to champs this year.”

Aaron says events like these are also a good way to showcase to the public that surf lifesaving is not all about the rescues.

“This is the competition side of things - it’s not just patrolling and watching between the flags.”

Aaron says they have a strong membership this year but are always looking to keep building.

“That’s encouraging - we need new blood and definitely we need more women. It’s unlike pretty much unlike any other role but can be extremely rewarding and you can make a difference.”

Mel, a four-time councillor and former Nelson MP, says he is also seriously considering running for mayor out of a “deep desire to see things happening”.

“To keep Nelson moving forward but most important of all to put a stop to wasteful spending.”

He says he wants more than anything to have an “inclusive council” that is “doing great things”.

However, councillor Mike Rutledge says it is clear who is planning for higher office based on the way they are behaving.

“I think it’s very unhelpful so far,

Supplying Quality Fresh Fish

for the good operation and good running of the city. You have people acting in their own selfinterest.”

Mike was recently censured for his aggressive actions following a decision to reduce funding for Natureland, which his wife is a director of. He says he will also be running for council as he enjoys the work and believes he has a valuable contribution to make to Nelson.

“Now, some are throwing a tantrum over some sharp words that were said a year ago,” Mike says.

“If I let that dictate my thoughts about serving the community, it wouldn’t be worth sitting in the seat.”

Mayor Rachel Reese says she would speak more next month as she was away, but was “thoroughly enjoying the role” and has “plenty of energy for the year

ahead”.

Councillor Tim Skinner says he will stand again as there are projects he wants to see come to fruition, including continuing building Nelson as a venue that attracts large entertainment shows and sports games.

“I’ve enjoyed that over the last five years on council. You meet many good people that you take for granted and realise how many cogs there are in the wheels that make Nelson turn.”

Brian McGurk says he is keen to run again as he feels there is still a contribution to make.

Gaile Noonan says it is too early to say for sure but says being a councillor is “very fulfilling” “It gives me a balance of life and keeps me grounded. I do love the role, I relish it. It gets me up in the morning.”

Councillor Stuart Walker says he

made a decision a year into his three-year term that he wouldn’t be standing again. A personal issue also meant he could not commit to three more years.

Paul Matheson says he will make a decision later in the year. Ian Barker also says it is too early to say and would wait to see what sort of candidates put their hands up for consideration.

Bill Dahlberg says he has really enjoyed the last two years and is ooking forward to the next nine months.

“I am focussed on finishing the projects that the community want us to do, rather than politicking. I will make that call closer to the time but for now, I just want to focus on positive outcomes.

Kate Fulton says she hasn’t decided and Luke Acland couldn’t be reached for comment.

Charles Anderson Beryl Willis was “heartbroken” when she thought that her beloved Tahunanui Community Centre would be closed down.

The 84-year-old had been attending “fit and fun” classes at the centre for the past three years and knew how important it was to everyone who took part.

“It felt like I had lost an arm,” she said.

The centre was closed shortly before Christmas when its perilous financial position was revealed.

But on Monday it opened back up after the Nelson City Council stepped in to allow its contractor CLM to administer its running.

Brenda Preece, who runs the fit and fun classes, says that it is a relief as it offers an important venue for socialising and exercise that many otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford.

“Anything that is invested will save a lot of money down the track.”

She hoped council stepped into help fund the centre on a more permanent basis.

“It needs to be a community,

A working group has been formed to help sort through the centres issues and discussions with Nelson City Council and Nelson Tasman Kindergarten Association, as well as funders, has been ongoing.

Last week members of the working group were co-opted onto the board of the Community Centre and the three previous board members resigned.

Chair of the co-opted board, Murray Leaning, announced that a lease agreement between

the Nelson Tasman Kindergarten Association and the preschool, which is owned by the centre, has also been reached and the three staff that were previously employed by the pre-school have been re-hired.

The lease between the kindergarten association and the community centre is on a month-by-month basis.

Fish and Chips moving with times They may cost more now than they used to, but fish and chips are still proving to be a firm favourite for Nelsonians looking for a quick and easy Friday night dinner. Kate Russell reports.

Local fish and chip shop proprietor Tony Carpenter reckons $7.40 for a good quality piece of fish and a half scoop of chips is still a pretty cheap meal in this day and age.

He has owned Milton Street Takeaways for five-and-a-halfyears and says the traditional Kiwi tucker is “absolutely” still as popular as it ever was in Nelson, despite several local outlets selling up.

There are at least seven stores in Nelson city alone, with Hales Corner, Victory Square Fish and Chips, Fish Stop and Seabreeze Takeaways all currently listed for sale on Trade Me. Although the title ‘fish and chips’ suggests just two options, Tony says it can mean so much more these days.

He’s now added pizzas, salads, burgers and gluten-free options

with a lack of trade. She is looking to retire and spend more time with family.

In December, she was forced to increase her price for a scoop of chips.

“We just have to increase the prices - minimum wage and transport costs have gone up and a 15kg box of good quality chips now costs around $40.

“Costs have gone up, but then it’s not as expensive as, say McDonalds, for a family.

“The proof is in the pudding when you look at our loyal customer base.”

Like Tony, Jill has “moved with the times” and now offers a range of gluten-free items on their menu and the option to cook in vegetable oil as well as beef dripping.

And while it will always remain a mystery exactly how big a scoop of chips is really is, in Nelson it will set you back between $3.80 - $4.40, while a ‘fish of the day’ costs between $4.00 - $4.40.

Tony says it’s an industry that has stood the test of time against other fast food options - but it’s one that needs to keep on its toes.

“Fish and chips are still going strong. I don’t think that will ever change.”

Area commander for Nelson Bays Police Paul Borrell says there is risk that unoccupied homes will become a target for thieves and to make sure people secure their homes before going away and tell neighbours of their absence. He also says it important to close and lock windows and doors as a deterrent and to be mindful of money and other valuables being left in open view within your home or vehicles.

Family of the furry kind will be allowed to join their owners on camping trips this summer, as one Nelson campground gets ready to test out a ‘pet block’.

The Tahuna Beach Holiday Park is hoping to trial the idea in February with motorhome owners who are travelling with their pets.

General manager Paul Ladbrook says they are looking to set aside a block that backs directly onto the back beach, which is dog friendly and will also minimise the impact on other campers.

“It will be aimed at families of the older generation in their second home on wheels who want to take their new family with them - which is usually the furry kind,” he says.

“Our guests think it’s a fantastic idea. Lots of people have been asking for it - so many people are on the road these

Too much freedom for campers?

Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Tourists are looking to travel for free - offering little benefit to the community, a local holiday park owner says.

The summer season always sees thousands of campers come to Nelson to soak up the sun, sea and sights.

However, what should be a booming time for businesses is becoming less beneficial as campers seek to save their money by finding free campsites.

Nelson City Top10 Holiday Park manager Liana Hendry says freedom campers are being lured away from sanctioned sites to stay in non-approved car parks for free.

She says New World on Vanguard St have had between 10-20 campervans staying in its carpark overnight.

“I send my guests down there to shop at their supermarket and they are pretty much saying stay there for free instead.”

A sign inside the store reads: ‘Tourists, campervans, self-contained campervans are welcome to stay overnight in our carpark for free.’

“It is not good enough, we have to meet Health and Safety laws to have people stay here and don’t think its fair people can park up for free less than 500 metres from our site.”

She says local businesses are suffering as a result.

“We have 23 sites that we do well with, but at the same time there are a number of much larger camps close to us which would benefit from those campers staying at their park as opposed to

Head of external relations for Foodstuffs NZ, Antoinette Laird, says Nelson city New World allows self-contained campers in its car park overnight so that they have a safe place to sleep.

“Now that summer is in full swing, more campers and trampers are exploring the wonderful scenery and outdoors our country has to offer.

“Because the car park is well-lit and covered by security cameras,

self-contained campers can feel confident in knowing they are safe in the neighbourhood at Nelson City New World.”

However, Liana says, as well as not contributing to the local economy, campers are not adhering to the bylaws and are parking in places not approved by the council.

“There are a lot of vans parking outside the designated areas in the Montgomery Car Park, they should be moved on. I am con-

cerned about the businesses around here that are trying to provide a service for the tourists, but the tourists are wanting to travel our country for free.”

While the steady flow of campers continues, council says visitors have finally started to clean up their act.

Freedom campers have caused controversy in recent times, burning fires, leaving litter, washing in sinks and leaving faeces on the ground.

The 2017/18 summer was the first year that Nelson’s Freedom Camping Bylaw was in effect.

The bylaw was adopted to ensure the region “stays beautiful and accessible for all to enjoy”.

“We are now into the second summer of enforcement of the bylaw and the number of infringement notices being issued has declined,” Nelson City Council group manager of environmental managemen, Clare Barton, says.

In December 2017, Council issued 53 infringement notices and in December 2018 a total of 41 were issued.

“On the whole, campers have been respectful of our environment and abiding by the regulations laid out in the Freedom Camping Bylaw.”

Clare says this is particularly pleasing given the influx of people to the city for the inaugural Bay Dreams.

“This has been welcomed and appreciated, especially during the busy period surrounding the Bay Dreams Festival.”

Nelson City Council will impose a $200 fine on campers not adhering to the rules.

The maximum period of stay in any of the restricted locations is two consecutive nights on no more than two separate occasions in any calendar month.

Night is defined as being from 10pm until 7am only.

The following are Nelson City Council designated freedom camping spots: Wakapuaka Reserve carpark, Maitai Cricket ground car park, QE II Drive Gardens, Trafalgar Park – Haven Foreshore, Buxton Carpark, Montgomery carpark, Wakatu carpark, Isel Park - Main Road Stoke carpark.

Providing the fibre network Nelson Tasman needs for the future Many people in Nelson Tasman may not know that Network Tasman has its own dedicated fibre network, spanning from Motueka to Waikawa Bay, near Picton.

Second-hand stores bursting Sara Hollyman Reporter

sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Second hand stores across the region are bursting at the seams with donated items after a new Netflix show hit the screens.

Donated items have gone through the roof over the past few weeks and volunteers are putting it down to the new Netflix series 'Tidying Up with Marie Kondo'.

The series premiered on Netflix on New Year’s Day and teaches people how to categorize their belongings and let go of anything that doesn’t ‘spark joy’ in their lives - known as the 'KonMari method'.

Salvation Army Family Store assistant manager Janice Feyen says, although this time of the year is always busy, this year has been “crazy”.

“For us, here in Nelson, definitely people are talking about it, we’re all talking about it,

we’re all laughing and joking that we’re off home to have a clear-out.”

Janice says she first heard of the show from her daughter, who rang her during a cleanout asking if she should call her local store to check if it was taking donations. Luckily, she did as they had been overwhelmed and asked her to hold onto it until they could clear some space.

“We have got so much stuff in here, but we don’t say no to donations, we just work like little trojans to keep it circulating,” says Janice.

She says customers come in and are really excited about their clean-outs, but it’s not just clothes they are decluttering.

“They come in and say we’ve watched that show on Netflix, Marie Kondo, and they bring bags and bags. One woman bought a whole lot of books one week then clothes the next week and she said, ‘I’ll be back,

I’ll be back’ which is really lovely.”

Karissa Klenner says she loves having uncluttered space and is usually organised with her method anyway but living in a one-and-a-half-bedroom apartment makes it tricky with two young kids.

“I didn’t realise it was kind of the KonMarie method I was following but now that I’ve seen the show, I guess following her methods of tidying up will make it a bit easier, it’s definitely inspired me to start from scratch and go through the whole house.”

Karissa says she tries to have a bi-annual clear out of things especially toys, clothes and all the things that go with having children.

“I don’t know if it’s about sparking joy so much, I’m probably more of a logical thinker – 'do I want to take this to my future, do I love this or not love this', that kind of thing.”

The fibre network has been developed to support Nelson Tasman’s economic growth and is totally separate to the government-funded ultra-fast broadband network rollout that you may see being deployed in parts of the Tasman region.

“Network Tasman believes fibre optic connections in workplaces, schools, and in homes can boost economic development, ignite innovation, and improve the way people live and work,” says Network Tasman’s Telecommunications Manager, Andrew Stanton. “That’s why Network Tasman has been supporting businesses, communities, and the national education network known as N4L (Network 4 Learning) across the top of the South Island for many years.

“We like to think the early deployment of Network Tasman’s fibre network in parts of Marlborough and Tasman has contributed to the Nelson Tasman’s vibrant, buoyant economy.

“Because our network is all fibre it can be used for the kind of demanding applications that businesses require today. It’s also fast, reliable and secure – things that are not just nice to have these days but absolute necessities.”

Network Tasman is also looking ahead to future proof its fibre network. Network Tasman is making sure it’s ready to meet future requirements for business connections and residential connections.

“Network Tasman has recently upgraded and installed worldleading GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Networks) equipment that will be able to deliver a dedicated, consistently fast, reliable connection to each house on the fibre network,” says Stanton. “By installing this new technology we can offer broadband speeds that will keep the most data hungry consumers happy, with a 1Gig home connection.”

“Not only are we providing super-fast broadband speeds we are teaming up with a national service provider so customers can combine their home and mobile plans in one package.

Keep an eye on www.networktasman.co.nz/fibre for more details.”

Facebook fraudster convicted Locally Owned and Operated

A Nelson man who used Facebook to sell items which he never sent them has been ordered to pay back his victims.

Joshua Daniel Shaw, 20, appeared in the Nelson District Court on Monday on eight counts of accessing a computer system for dishonesty and driving while suspended.

Police told how, on seven different days between January and November 2018, Shaw offered items for sale on Facebook under various false profiles.

Using the names Michael John Lewis, Holly Anne Nicholls, Michelle Cooper, Mike Nokawich and James Lennie, Shaw sold fish finders, fishing reels, a GME radio and a Grande 4x4 winch to eight different people.

The victims paid more than $1000 to his bank accounts, after which he cut contact and never delivered the items.

In explanation for his offending Shaw said he was in a “bad place”

at the time of the offending.

Duty lawyer Craig Stevenson said, at the time he was unemployed and had a “beat-up” car, which he spent some of the money on.

Judge Tony Zohrab convicted Shaw on all charges and sentenced him to 100 hours of community service for the dishonesty charges and ordered him to pay $1289 in reparations.

Judge Zohrab says that the driving while disqualified charge would usually attract a disqualification but in these circumstances that would cause Shaw to lose his job, which would mean the victims of the other offences would not get their reparations.

On the driving while disqualified charge he was sentenced to 80 hours community service instead of disqualification.

Judge Zohrab left Shaw with a warning that should he offend again any judge would be able to see the sentence he had imposed.

“If you thumb your nose at the opportunity given on this occasion you can expect a disqualification in future.”

All things Scottish at Fairfield Kate Russell

The sound of bagpipes and the smell of haggis will be in the air this Sunday as the ‘Pipes in the Park’ event brings a Scottish flavour to the Fairfield Park meadow.

The outdoor summer concert is being put on by the Nelson Highland Pipe Band and is an opportunity for the public to see what the band has been rehearsing as well as hear some

traditional tunes.

Event organiser and band secretary Lucy Jackson says there will also be solo and duet performances from different members, include a drumming solo.

“We have other guest performers too, including the Kahurangi Irish Dance School, Jacquie Walters and James Wilkinson, and the Single Malt Barbershop Quartet. All will be in a very Celtic flavour.”

There will also be traditional haggis and desserts to try and other food, wine and beer also for sale.

“It is a casual event with lots of space to sit on the ground with a low chair or blanket, enjoy some traditional Scottish music and food and soak up the Nelson sunshine,” says Lucy.

The band has around 25 members, ranging in ages from seven right through to 80, and

the concert is a fundraiser to help them get to Christchurch and Dunedin in March for national and provincial competitions.

Lucy says they always welcome new members and offer tuition in all levels of the band - just come along to the event to find out more.

Pipes in the Park is on this Sunday, January 27, from 4 6pm. Entry is $10. Kids free.

This is a cash only event.

It's got huge potential.

Craigie Glasgow Let the sausage sizzles begin! Andrea Grocott Code of conduct complaint causes concern: Reece has let all of Nelson down, end of the never-ending story.

Colin Appleton Jason loses battle for museum bench: Freedom doesn’t mean littering, blatantly smoking beside a no smoking sign or drinking alcohol in a public place. I’m not questioning his lifestyle choice, I’m questioning his entitled attitude where he thinks he is above all rules and laws. Sandra Saywell Ha ha, mentality and physically exhausting.

You poor thing. Try working like a dog and paying off a mortgage, we can’t lie around on park benches all day. Some of us have to go to work, lol. Jason Garland

This is not up to the council to find him a place to sleep. Here we go again.

Maybe he could go and share Lewis Stanton’s lovely wee hut while us ratepayers keep footing the bill. Sue Sara Everyone deserves to have an opinion and it’s fascinating how varied they all are. Mine is... no matter where you lay your head, respect cost nothing, someone’s bad conduct will always be judged. He needs to respect people, property and all will be good in the world.

Katrina Riley Why did you not stay where you came from and be homeless there? When I went by you during the day you had litter all on the ground and you were sleeping facing the wall with your pants down, yep everyone saw your bottom, crack and all, we don't need this look in our city, disrespectful. Donna Jan Wow, I saw him walking out of Franklyn Village, looking clean... hmmmm. If they going to sleep in town then they have to abide by the non-smoking rules where non-smoking applies, and also they need to pick up rubbish around the town as payment for sleeping in town.

Stephen Johnsen You can't put a flower in an ass and call it a vase. A public bench is a public bench not your home cause you call it that. And society does not need to be baby sitters for self-entitled louts who pick and choose their choice of accommodation.

Jenaya and her brother Toryn Argyle enjoy the Kite Festival. Photo: Sara Hollyman.

Kites contend with strong winds Sara Hollyman Strong winds grounded many of the key attractions at this year’s annual Kite Festival but that didn’t halt the enjoyment of spectators, with hundreds gathering at Neale Park to take in the sights.

On Sunday, kite fliers from around the country got what they could up in the air, but the wind made it too dangerous to put many of the bigger items up.

Organiser Gretchen Howard says wind was gusting up to 65kmh but fliers came prepared with a range of kites for different weather situations.

“Some of the kites are worth a few thousand dollars... the risk of damage is too high, and the safety side of it too.”

Gretchen says when the wind comes from the sea, the kites

“sit up there happy as”, but when it comes across the land it’s a lot more turbulent, which is what happened on Sunday.

Gretchen and Ted Howard have organised the festival for 29 years and say they are looking to bring on help to keep the festival running in the future.

“Next year is our 30th year, so we’ll have another one, but after that we don’t know. We’re really keen for some kind of group to come in and say, ‘we want to keep this going’.”

She says some kite fliers plan their holidays to New Zealand, so they can fly their kites at the Nelson festival, but to continue the running of the festival they need help.

Ted says the Nelson City Council waived the fees to hire the park, but the pair wear the cost of everything else.

“We were hoping that the council might step in and take it on, much like the Teddy Bears Picnic, but they say it’s the wrong time of year, they want things in the off season,” says Gretchen.

Although some show-stoppers were unable to run this year due to the wind, like the kart rides, the kites that were in the air provided immense enjoyment to families.

Seven-year-old Jenaya and her three-year-old brother Toryn Argyle were at the festival with their dad and say their favourite kites were the penguin, because they have a similar one at home and the teddy bear.

Anyone wishing to offer help to keep the kite festival running should contact kitesfun@gmail. com

Every few weeks the Nelson Weekly sits down to have lunch at The Vic Brew Bar with someone interesting doing something interesting. This week we speak to Bill Dahlberg who, after more than 30 years of involvement with the franchise, is stepping away from the Nelson Giants.

So, why did you make the decision to step down from your role as general manager?

I think it’s probably time to move on, the council has some exciting stuff happening and I wanted to put more focus on my new roles there. I have put in two and a half years. The first year and a half was a transitional period which oversaw the successful retirement of the old Giants and then a year of setting the platform for the future. This meant getting quality people onboard including coaches, admin and players.

It takes a lot of energy. It isn’t easy running a national sports team.

What accomplishments are you most proud of during your time with the Giants?

We have managed to get some very exciting players and coaches which has set the tone. We had Jamie Pearlman come in as coach from Australia who was

fans that we had arrived again.

The final run of games to the finals, the excitement, the crowds, the hairs on the back of my necks were standing up, the boys were playing fabulous, it signalled all the good things about live sport.

It’s been a lot of fun.

Bill Dahlberg spoke to our reporter about stepping down from managing the Giants. Photo: Sara Hollyman brilliant. I also picked up businessman Chris Jackson, Lee Babe from Nelmac, lawyer Dean Gavin, Alison McAlpine and Richard Eagles for the transition panel which we then took forward to the first Giant’s board.

We also had amazing support from the likes of Bowater and Hunter's Wine, they really gave us the confidence we could do it.

What have been some of the highlights during your tenure?

How do you feel about the current state of the Giants?

The club has made some great progress in terms of connectivity. We have created a new website with Hot House. Other key partnerships have been made with NBS and the Nelson Weekly which has increased our audience. We also have some seriously talented players. Mika coming in to help has been invaluable.

Finn Delaney has gone from a good player to the best forward in the league. We can turn out quality and we can make a stamp on the national league, you just have to have the right people around you. The Nelson Giants have always had a high profile. We always battle above our weight and it’s great to see the fans back in the stands.

Do you plan to stay involved with the club?

I will always be a Nelson Giants supporter. I will be there in my Giants gear with bells on.

Maitai School is a state school (on three sites) that caters to students whose significant disabilities impact on their ability to learn in regular schools.

As well as following the New Zealand curriculum, which is adapted to meet the individual needs of the student, Maitai School also provides an enrichment programme where students get to take part in other community experiences such as hydrotherapy, gymnastics, gardening and horse riding.

Another point of difference is the school’s range of specialist services which include speech, music and occupational therapy, as well as a psychologist, physiotherapist and Social Educationalist.

Maitai’s students often get involved in activities within other schools too, while their experienced special-needs teachers regularly reach out to local schools to provide them with support, too.

We are proud of the way that our students today at Nelson College for Girls can aim to be 'their best at NCG' in everything that they do. Our vision is to “educate, empower and nurture each student”. We do this through a wide range of subjects, with many students gaining significant success in NCEA, including Merit and Excellence endorsements. Our mentoring programme, underpinned by our PRIDE values, provides special nurturing for all students in a safe and inclusive way.

Or perhaps you’ve been experimenting with brewing for a while and already know about the amazing brewing supply store in Annesbrook called ‘League of Brewers!’ “Rather than buy your brewing products online or at bulk food stores, people can come into our shop and benefit from our expertise, which helps people get into brewing or hone their craft,” says local owner, Mike Stringer.

“We brew beer to show people what’s possible at home, with tastings available, an off-license, and give-away recipes.

Weather spoils SportS sailing regatta

Cricket: While neither of the two remaining contenders to make the final were able to secure victories, WTTU snuck through by virtue of a draw and more bonus points in their fixture against Nelson College at the weekend. Both they and ACOB were in contention to challenge Stoke Nayland, who had already secured their final berth in the 110-over comp, but neither could overcome their lower ranked rivals. At a glance: Wakatu 173 (Mason Robinson 41, Daniel Hooper 28, Eden 3/31, Akileash Reddy 2/8)ACOB 168 (Reuben Smith 29, Ben Gully 65, Cody Goulding 7/36, Campbell McLean 2/30 Wakatu won by 5 runs.

The ten-year celebration of Nelson’s biggest sailing weekend was blown out of the water.

Wild winds and a strong swell meant no racing could take place on Sunday or Monday for the 2019 Evolution Sails Regatta.

Tasman Bay Cruising Club vice commodore Missy Hearfield says it was a bit disappointing for all the sailors.

“I spoke earlier in the week about Nelson’s predictable conditions and a slight south west breeze, today was not that day.”

She says the wind was unexpectedly strong.

“There are two things you can’t control in a regatta, one is the sailors and the other is the weather.”

Missy says this year they are expanded the regatta to include sports boats, trailer boats and keelers.

The regatta got underway on Friday night with a rum race in the harbour for all divisions.

Keeler racing was set to start on Sunday with three races round the cans for the Romeo and Juliet divisions, and a coastal race for the

T20: Stoke/Nayland continue to set the standard in the shortest format. Its powerful batting lineup fired once again last week, posting 190/6, opener Chris Dittimer scoring his second consecutive half century in blistering style. On the back of his 56 against Nelson, Chris plundered 59 off just 38 deliveries but was outshone by his opening partner Patrick Howes who smashed three sixes and ten fours in his knock off 75 as the pair put on an opening stand of 120 in 12 overs. ACOB never looked likely in the chase, Skeaping capping a quality all round performance with three wickets. Stoke/Nayland 190/6 (Peter Howes 75, Darius Skeaping 59, Thomas Zhorab 2/27) defeated ACOB 120 (Nic Clark 31, Skeaping 3/9 Howes 2/22)

night in Torrent Bay. Almost 40 boats from as far afield as Australia sailed to the region for the regatta.

Harriers: Cloud cover on Saturday meant the temperature did not soar into the high 20’s as it had in previous years for the Wakefield 10km Summer Roaster. Competition among the leaders was fierce, with 1st place Chris Sharland finishing in 39.26mins just 13s ahead of Paula Canning and Klaatje Van Schie 42.21mins, just narrowly beat Stu Cottam by 16s to take out 3rd place. The walkers also provided spectators with an exciting finish. Alan West was the first walker home in 68.55 mins, with only 5s separating the next 3 walkers, Ian Courtenay 70.29mins, Darryl Nish 70.29mins and Tania Gardiner 70.30mins. A 5km option is also included in the event and this was won by Alastair Cotterill in 25.55 mins with SallyAnne Jones the first woman home in 31.13mins.

Triathlon: Hayden Squance led from start to finish for a convincing win at the Proper Crisps Olympic distance triathlon at Rabbit Island on Sunday. After a multi-circuit triangular course at Rabbit Island, the national champion emerged from the 1500m swim with a lead of five minutes over Brendon Hughes. Long distance specialist Hayden Harper was a minute further back, ahead of Bill Revell, the leading M60-69 contender. Jess Barnes was the first woman from the water, ahead of Kim Turner and Carys Coleman. There was little change at the front of the field over the 40km bike and 10km run, except for the growing gaps in the field, with Squance extending further from Harper and the rest of the field fighting their own battles. Competitors found the head wind a challenge biking the 5km towards the main road on each of the four bike laps but revelled in the tail wind on each return. Barnes was next to finish, four minutes ahead of Coleman, who fought her own battle with M50-59 competitor Eric Wylde, the pair finishing the bike ride together and running identical times for the 10km run. Turner took third place in the women's field. More than 60 took part in the full variety of triathlon and duathlon options over three distances.

Nelson pip Marlborough in Hawke cup thriller Peter Jones A gutsy declaration paid dividends for the Nelson cricket side who pulled off an unlikely victory over arch-rival Marlborough in a topsy-turvy Hawke Cup cricket clash at Horton Park on Sunday.

The win means Nelson has booked a place in the final to decide the Hawke Cup challenger, where it will again meet Marlborough who managed to accumulate enough points to become top qualifiers for the zone three final.

Coach Ryan Edwards said they travelled over the Whangamoa’s with a clear goal in mind.

“We needed an outright result and we achieved it which was nice.”

Ryan says, while there were some outstanding individual performances from the likes of the Zhorab’s, seamer Jarrod McKay and skipper Greg Hay, it was a brilliant team effort.

He says a bad hour with the bat on day two put them in trouble before a stunning spell by McKay brought them right back in the contest.

“He bowled with great aggression, executed his plans and picked up three wickets in a six over spell.

Ryan says the bold declaration was made to give them the best chance at a result. “We felt that was the best opportunity to allow ourselves enough time.”

“Him and David the way they

The win sees Nelson advance to the play offs and the side will meet Marlborough again in the Southern Zone qualifier in a three-day game.

“The extra day brings another element, but the boys will take some momentum knowing that we did what we have to do but we know we will face a different Marlborough side on the Feb 1, but hopefully we will come out on the right side of the ledger.”

At the end of the first day the game was in the balance, Marl-

borough scoring a modest 229 all out in their first innings.

At stumps on Saturday Nelson were well placed to push on at 88-2.

However, Marlborough took control when paceman Nick Weaver picked up three quick wickets to put the skids under the visitor’s reply.

When top scorer Thomas Zohrab (69) was run out by Luke Frankland at 128-6, the writing was on the wall.

Devon Surrieir, with 24, hit out strongly but, when he was dismissed at 152 and the last pair were at the wicket, Nelson decided to concede first innings points to Marlborough by declaring.

This ensured Marlborough would finish top of the qualifying group, ahead of Canterbury Country, but also allowed Nelson sufficient time to pick up an outright win and enough points to force their way into the decider.

Their plan relied on them bowling superbly and Marlborough batting poorly in their second innings, and that is exactly what happened.

Nelson’s attack was led by young paceman Jarrod McKay, who bowled with control and venom as the home side succumbed for 108 from 54.4 overs.

Ben Stark, with the key wickets of Ma’ara Ave and Matthew Stretch, also bowled well while Felix Mur-

ray continued a fine match with three more scalps as Nelson took total control late on the second day.

The home side’s demise left Nelson a target of 188 from around 40 overs and when the Zohrab twins produced a superb opening partnership of 98 from 16 overs it was always going to be plain sailing.

Thomas Zohrab fell for a wellcompiled 50, his brother David for 61, but the classy Greg Hay managed an unbeaten 55 to see Nelson to their target for the loss of only three wickets with several overs to spare.

The three-day Hawke Cup qualifying final, between Nelson and Marlborough, will be staged at Horton Park from February 1-3.

Scores: Marlborough 229 (Ma’ara Ave 73, Tarin Mason 44, Felix Murray 3-59, Sam Baxendine 3-36) Nelson 152-9 declared (Thomas Zohrab 69, Sam Field 29, Nick Weaver 3-30, Jerrym Lamb 2-44) Marlborough 108 (Arthavidu 26, Jarrod McKay 4-18, Murray 3-24) Nelson 188-3 (Thomas Zohrab 50, David Zohrab 61, Greg Hay 55 not out).

Nelson win outright (10 points), Marlborough take first innings points (7).

Zone three points: Marlborough 24, Nelson 21, Canterbury Country 18, Buller 0.

Max makes an impression in Europe Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Nelson’s Max Darling is the kind of athlete who could’ve enjoyed success no matter what sporting path he walked.

Standing at 6’5”, Max’s towering presence and athleticism made him a force to be reckoned with in almost every sport he played.

Representing the region in rugby, volleyball and basketball, it is the latter that Max has truly excelled at, having signed a professional contract last year.

The former Nelson College star has been plying his trade in Croatia for KK Vrijednosnice Osijek.

The side are 6th on the HT Premijer liga, the country’s premier basketball competition.

“European basketball is a whole different game to what we play in New Zealand, which was somewhat difficult to adjust to,” Max says.

He says, while life is a lot different, “it has been a very good learning experience”.

Max represented Tasman in

Max Darling signs his first professional basketball contract. basketball at U13, U15 and U17 level, as well as New Zealand at U16, U18 and now U19 level.

He has already shown he belongs on the national stage.

He was invited by Paul Henare to attend the Tall Blacks training camp last year and is currently part of the wider Tall Blacks squad.

The Junior Tall Blacks not only made top four at their FIBA World Cup qualifying tournament in Thailand in 2018, which meant they qualified for the 2019 World Cup in Crete, but they also beat China in the semi-final and narrowly lost to Australia in

the final. Max was the leading scorer in the final with 20 points and eight rebounds.

He first started playing basketball at 12 at Nelson College Prep.

In his final school year, he was awarded a basketball scholarship at Christ’s College in Christchurch.

After finishing high school, Max starred in the 2018 season for the Canterbury Rams, being named the NZNBL Rookie of the Year 2018.

He then considered a number of basketball scholarship offers from Div 1 colleges in America, but through his Los Angelesbased agent was offered a pro contract in Europe beginning in August 2018.

Max decided at that point to bypass college and has fast tracked his basketball career by turning pro at age 17.

He says he hopes to keep progressing his career and hopefully more national honours will follow. “My goal for right now and the future is to play to the best of my ability for the team I am in and see what happens from there.”

Tasman United pulled off a miracle in Marlborough on Sunday, a last-gasp equaliser securing a 2-2 with highly-rated opponents Team Wellington.

The capital side dominated the early stages, scoring in the 20th minute through the lively Angus Kilkolly to take a 1-0 lead into the halftime break.

Syrian-born winger Ahmed Othman was on hand to finish off a slick piece of interpassing at close range and, in the 84th minute, the scores were level.

A midfield scuffle, which saw impressive Team Wellington defender Taylor Schrijvers left on

Their opponents were quick to take advantage, Kilkolly scoring his second immediately through a thumping header from the resulting free kick.

But Tasman were not done with.

As the clock ticked into referee’s time they attacked once more and again it was Osman who was on hand to tuck the ball in at the near post, leaving Basalaj no chance and delighting the 500-strong crowd.

Tasman head coach Andy Hedge felt the game was relatively even for the first 70 minutes.

“Team Wellington are coming off the back of the Oceania champs and the World Club champs, so
