Kate Russell Tahunanui Beach is rated as one of New Zealand’s best beaches, but both locals and visitors are saying that its public toilet facilities are bringing it down. If fact, one local man who also happens to be an architect, is so passionate about getting a new toilet block at the Lions Playground, that he has donated a design to the Nelson City Council. Keni-Duke Hetet, a keen surfer and father of four, offered a conceptual sketch for new toilets back in 2010 in the form of a letter to the mayor at the time, Aldo Miccio. But he was unsuccessful - receiving a reply that said he would have to “put a submission into the Long Term Plan.” Keni-Duke says he and his wife have contacted the council again several times in the hope of getting some traction - but after no luck, they gave up. “For me, there are two problems with the toilets,” he says.

What happened to the Wannabees? Jacob Page Sports Editor

sports@nelsonweekly.co.nz

There was something noticeably different about the Nelson Giants opening game of 2017 – there were no chanting, hollering, towel-waving Wannabees. The colourful group of fanatical Giants fans were notably absent from the game on Saturday night, a 93-76 loss to the Taranaki Mountainairs.

The group is responsible for such chants as “I’m blind, I’m deaf, I wanna be a ref ” and are known to wave towels behind the hoop at one end of the court. Mike Pero Nelson Giants administration and operations manager, Janie Granger, says the franchise is eager to recruit some fresh blood for the 2017 edition of the Wannabees. She says they need between 10 and 15 people to form the

100% locAlly owned And operAted

group which has been a regular part of games at the Trafalgar Centre for more than 15 years. Wannabees get free entry to home games and are given team gear to wear. The group has traditionally come up with supporters’ chants, signs for their favourites Giants players and have made as much noise as possible to distract visiting players at the free throw line. “Not having them there was no-

ticeable as they generate a lot of atmosphere,” says Janie. The group helps keep the crowd engaged during time outs and helped with giveaways during the game. “We have people who want to do it but we need more. The Giants’ next home game is against the Canterbury Rams on Saturday night If you are interested you can contact the Giants through their Facebook page.

Stink over beach toilets FROM PAGE 1

“They are not good enough in terms of hygiene, and then there’s the shower – there can be ten people waiting to use it on a busy day.” Keni-Duke’s design, which is modelled on the shape of a pipi, would have three cold water outdoor showers and a bench for people to sit down on while they wait. “For me, it’s not because I’m a designer – I’m a surfer and person who goes down to the beach a lot with his kids,” he says. “Tahunanui Beach is one of the premier beaches in the country and deserves better.” Nelson Weekly asked others what they thought about the toilets including locals, visitors, families and surfers who were at the

Ninety per cent of the respondents said they were unsatisfied with the current toilets and changing sheds and that they would like to see something bigger, tidier, and more functional. A spokesperson from OCS, who are contracted to clean and maintain the seven toilets throughout Tahunanui Beach, says the Lion’s Playground toilet block is so busy in the summer

months they have to be cleaned and re-stocked three times a day. “The Lions toilets are one of the original blocks there, and they just get hammered during the summer months. It would be great to see something bigger there.” Chair of the council’s sports and recreation committee, Tim Skinner, says the Lions Playground toilet block is “much more basic than council would like” and

that his first impression of KeniDuke’s design was that it was “way cool.” Tim’s only concern is that a new toilet block could get vandalised. “The block by the Beach Cafe was spruced up a few years ago with mirrors and soap – but they got trashed almost straight away, so we have to be mindful of that and the design,” he says. But Keni-Duke says that if the design was a good one, it wouldn’t get vandalised. Tim says there is currently no allocated budget in the 2017/18 draft annual plan, but if they got feedback from the community on the project, it could be seen as a priority. Submissions to the draft annual plan can be made at nelson.govt. nz until 18 April.

Nelson City Council will consider two draft bylaws at a meeting this week – one focused on freedom camping, and another to address issues that relate to public disorder and loss of amenity value in the city centre – aka – Lewis Stanton. Councillors will be presented the proposed draft ‘City Amenity bylaw’ at a full council meeting on Thursday, after council officers were directed to investigate a draft bylaw following a public-excluded council session in December last year. Activities affecting the amenity and safety of the central city area have highlighted gaps in the council’s bylaws regarding safety, placement of things in public places, occupation of public places, and the ability to limit and remove rubbish and material placed in public places. Mayor Rachel Reese says they have been working hard to make sure a robust solution is brought to the table “as quickly as possible”. “Bylaws are used as a last resort, and council has explored all other avenues to address

Wairua Warrior champ facing plenty of obstacles Jacob Page Sports Editor

sports@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Two-time defending Wairua Warrior champion Ethan Helliwell is a man with a lot on his plate.

Ethan with his dog Brian that he does a lot of his training with.

The 25-year-old former Waimea College pupil knows some international names are looking to take his title this Saturday, as the event in Happy Valley has been given qualification status for the Obstacle Course Racing World Championships in Vancouver this year. Ethan has been starting work at 5.30am and training for this Saturday’s race until dark. His partner Alysia Simkin is also competing in the event and the duo are putting the finishing touches to her new coffee cart business that she will debut on the day.

Photo: Barry Whitnall/Shuttersport. “After we are finished we’ll both be in there making coffees, so it should be a fun day,” says Ethan. The annual Wairua Warrior event near Cable Bay is a 12km course for elite

athletes with undulating terrain, a river , natural and man-made obstacles and lots of mud. There will be obstacles ranging from balance beams to barbed wire

crawling, to sandbag carries, climbing walls and tyre drags. Ethan is a man who loves the mental challenge of keeping going when the energy tank is empty. “You can’t plan for this event, I know the terrain but most of the course is a hidden secret. “The pain isn’t going to last forever,” he says. “There are times when you’re out and you still have two kilometres to go, but for me, I just think about it as seven minutes of effort and then I have the rest of the day to rest.” Ethan, a former New Zealand junior downhill

mountainbiker, says he’s expecting plenty of sandbag drills but his aim is to win and get one of 10 spots for the World Championships in Vancouver. The only company Ethan on his training journey is his dog Brian. He says the Nelson/Tasman region is one of the best places to train for such an event. Waimea’s teenage Coastto-Coast two-day champion Cameron Jones will be one of the big challengers to Ethan’s crown. Race organiser Greg Witika says entries are up to 550, more than 100 up on the event in 2017.

Nelson police trio receive bravery awards Three Nelson police officers were presented with bravery awards at a ceremony on Friday. Constable Aisea Lata, Constable Hamish Wybrow and Sergeant Brett Currie all put their lives on the line in the early hours of September 20, 2015, at a property on Atawhai Dr. Constable Lata was awarded the Royal Humane Society’s Bronze Medal for rescuing a man from a burning building and returning for a second time to ensure no one else was inside. Constable Hamish Wybrow was also presented with a Bronze Medal for assisting with the man’s rescue, and for his repeated efforts to reenter the fully ablaze building. Sergeant Brett Currie was presented with the Certificate of Merit for creating a safe zone for the fire service, and for entering the building to discharge a fire extinguisher as part of his valiant efforts to put out the fire. The Royal Humane Society of New Zealand presented the three NZ Bravery Awards in a ceremony at the Council Chambers. Mayor Rachel Reese, who presented the awards, says it was a real honour and privilege. “Being asked to risk your life to save a stranger’s is not something we expect to face, and it is testament to the selflessness of these police officers that they didn’t hesitate to help when faced with a life-and-death situation,” she says.

Airport busier than ever

The need for speed

Kate Russell Nelson airport experienced their biggest ever month in January, and their $32 million development is now in full swing. Passenger numbers reached a record 93,563 in January, followed by 84,733 passengers in February. The 12 month numbers ending February were 975,391 . These numbers, combined with increasing passenger capacity, record revenues and earnings before interest, have created the airports best six months performance ever with the full year forecast reflecting the same growth. Against this backdrop of success, the airport is moving ahead rapidly with the first stages of the terminal redevelopment. Phase one of the project, which includes the redirection all of the services, such as power and water, from their current location in preparation for the new build, is due to be completed this week. Work on the new control tower building has also started. The tender for phase two, the terminal redevelopment itself, is now being evaluated, with work expected to commence in late April. The overall project will last approximately 20 months. Nelson Airport CEO Rob Evans says minimising disruption to travellers and ensuring a safe environment is of paramount importance throughout the terminal rebuild project. “There will inevitably be some disruption to our customers, but we are doing everything in our power to minimise that and we are asking all airport users to add an additional 15 minutes to their travel time,” he says.

Once again, the Mike Pero Trolley Derby showcased some interesting trolley designs and plenty of friendly rivalry as drivers took to the slope on Collingwood St. Although not quite reaching last year’s record of 92 trolleys, organiser Tim Bayley says this year still had a great turn out with around 70 trolleys entered. Racing featured several sections including the Zoomers, Sprinters, Rockets, Ewing Poultry F1 Corporates, Nippers and the Classic Class, although the big race of the day was the Monarch of the Hill which was taken out by Tim Bayley in Redrack iLean with 70.7 km. Nick Smith and Matt Lawrey also went head-to-head with Matt managing to take the win in the Green Machine.

was in it and I wanted to be just like her with her trolley,” says Sophie. After purchasing a secondhand trolley off a friend, Sophie was ready to get amongst the

action and even won the Spirit of the Derby trophy in her first year racing. Although she missed out on a place this year in the sprinters section, Sophie says she still had a great time. “I like going fast, although my trolley’s not the fastest so I just come here for the fun.” She also had the help and support of her fan club, Team Bunny, who came equipped with bunny ears and hats. A puncture early on didn’t stop Sophie racing, thanks to some great sportsmanship from the Mitre 10 team. Tom Perkins in Mac Attack won the Zoomers, Billy Twamley in Nitro Fish won the Sprinters, Steve Lovell in Kiwiana took out the Rockets class, The Pizza Garage won the F1 Corporates, Sophie Wasley in Pink Bird won Nippers best in class, while Spirit of the Derby went to Lochlan Cockerell in Blue Bomber.

Dave 'sets sail' for a mate Locally Owned and Operated

Simon Bloomberg Reporter

simon@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Nelson's Dave Puklowski reckons Russell Blowers is "the nicest guy you'd ever meet", so he decided he'd do something special to help out his mate who suffers from a rare and painful form of rickets. But sausage sizzles and quiz nights were the last thing on Dave's mind as he planned a fundraiser to help pay for his friend's latest surgeries. Instead, Dave came up with Challenge for Mate which will be launched from Nelson on April 1, when he attempts to become the first person to circumnavigate the South Island solo in a small powered boat. And after a year of planning, Challenge for Mate became a step closer on Monday when Dave launched the especially-modified 3.9m long Terminator NZ inflatable from Nelson to Picton. The 157km journey in rough seas was the ideal test run for Dave and his boat for the 2750km circum-

ships so badly they were lost and 20 surrendered, with no losses to the British fleet. This shattering victory changed the course of British history and influenced the naming of our city of Nelson.

Course aims to keep young drivers safe Simon Bloomberg Year 12 students from around Nelson will be making better decisions behind the wheel after attending a hands-on driver safety education course at the Headingly Centre near Richmond last week. Road Safety Education Limited runs a driver safety programme for senior high school students around the country and last week it came to Nelson. Students from Waimea College, Nelson College, Nelson College for Girls, Nayland College and Motueka High School attended the Rotary Youth Driver Awareness programme, which reached a milestone on Tuesday when it celebrated its 50,000th graduate. Road Safety Education programme manager Maria Lovelock says the aim of the course is to reduce trauma on our roads by educating senior high school students. Maria says the programme

She says the course is designed to change the way young people think and act on our roads, not only as drivers but also as passengers, to make them safer. “There are a number of reasons, some outside a young driver’s control, why they are at such high risk. They

exhibit sensation-seeking behaviour, they are greatly influenced by peer pressure, they often drive less roadworthy cars, can be sleepy and often drive at night or for fun. "But most importantly, they lack experience in the broad range of driving situations and road conditions. It's up to us, as a community, to bridge that gap of inexperience and underdevelopment - that's what the programme is all about."

Maria says they celebrated the programme's 50,000th graduate by presenting a certificate to the Nelson Colleges. “We believe this programme is contributing to saving young people’s lives on the roads,” she says. The programme is coordinated through Rotary with support from corporate sponsors including BOC, NZ Steel, Bridgestone, BOSCH and the Alexander Group, as well as the Nelson city and Tasman district councils.

He still plays in the Nelson Brass Band, has served as a Freemason for more than 70 years and volunteers for Arthritis NZ after developing two forms of arthritis.

Along with his partner Sue, Maurice leads an active life and part of it is volunteering at the Ngawhatu swimming pool, where he is a trained lifeguard. “But I only save the ladies,” he joked. Last week he and Sue spent two hours at Z petrol station in Halifax St, where he worked as a “community concierge” washing windows and greeting customers. He handed out orange tokens which his customers could use to vote for Arthritis NZ and help the charity receive cash from Z, through its Good in the Hood promotion. Maurice says he got relief from his treatment so wanted to give back, but he wasn’t sure if he’d be offered a job after his efforts. “Sue’s right into it and I just follow along, but when people respond you feel good.”

Education grant makes huge difference Jessie Johnston The Soroptimist Club of Waimea are thrilled to be giving one young Nelson mum the chance to fulfil her dreams, thanks to their annual education grant. “Every year we give a grant to some person who we think can really use the money towards their education, they’ve got to be over 25 and it has to be their first tertiary qualification,” says soroptimist member, Helen Lewis. “We just love doing things to help the community and it's giving people a chance, once they’ve got into marriage and children, to fulfil their dreams,” says Barbara Bird. Ashleigh Dwyer was one of 20 who applied for the annual grant of $2500 and as a mum of three children aged eight, seven and one and a half, it has made a huge difference towards achieving her Bachelor of Social Work at NMIT. “It’s such a huge help, its takes a lot of pressure off and makes it so much easier to actually get stuck into the work,” says Ashleigh. Now in her third year of the four-year degree, Ashleigh is looking forward to getting out of the campus and going on placement with Family Works, which is under Presbytarian Support, to do the Social Workers in Schools programme. “Growing up on the wrong side of the train tracks really highlighted some of the social issues that are in our community and I have a passion to get rid of them,” says Ashleigh. “I want to work with children and families in the community because I think that’s where the biggest change comes from.” In addition to her degree, Ashleigh also intends taking classes in Te Reo Maori and Tikanga Maori. “We’ve had some wonderful success stories and it’s just very humbling because, like Ashleigh, they are keeping many balls in the air to further their education, so to be able to assist that in some small way is just amazing,” says Annette Greenland.

Bridget Budget answers your questions

Q: Is there a housing

crisis in Nelson? Are people struggling to find rental accommodation?

A: From what we see in our office, quality and affordable rental housing is in very short supply. If someone has to leave their rental, it is very difficult for them to find another house.

Staying in your rental:  Pay the rent on time  Prioritise paying rent before any other cost  Pay rent automatically  Be a good tenant- tidy, clean, responsible and careful  Follow the rules for your tenancy (eg. no dogs/extra tenants)  Call your landlord promptly to arrange extra repayments for any rent missed  Talk to a budget adviser if you are struggling to pay rent

Milk costs put to better use? If it takes 21 litres of water to produce one litre of milk, why arenâ€™t we eating the cows and selling the water? Ray Wilson. A greener Nelson: We are a (green) city, and yet also a retirement one so why haven't the villages, when being built, have solar water and power on their massive roofs? Also for hot water, and water reticulation for the gardens! We are having more built so the NCC and villages need to be more responsible, this is also called future proofing. F .Grant Huge response to hospice shop volunteer article: Onya!! Great specials there. Every time I cross the ditch from Brisbane, I always check the bargains. Ian Ross. Nelson Hospice do an absolutely amazing job so it's great to see that they had such a great response. Well done. Adrienne Shaw.

'Second suite' idea to be looked at: Would have saved us a lot of money in subdividing but possibly added more value when went to sell both properties as not everyone wants two separate dwellings on one section. Sort of like going back to cross lease? Karen Ferguson. It would also prevent rising rents if homes that are rented solely as holiday accommodation/short term are charged commercial council rates instead of residential rates. Anyone renting rooms in the home they live in are not commercial, but investor home owners charging high nightly rates are making money and not adding anything to community or neighbourhoods, and create the shortage of homes for rent. Jan Smith. I like the concept, with the rapid rise in house prices in Nelson; an initiative like this is required quickly. John Sauer.

A big thank you to those involved in running this facility for those in need in the community, it takes a lot of time and effort and people are not always recognised or thanked. Great job! Thanks.

I find it interesting Hone doesn't want to have a hand-out in way of benefit and other things that have been offered to help him, but is quite happy to take that much in legal aid money. Sarah Mitchell. I think it is about time someone looked into the legal aid he is getting. I agree with Nick, legal aid should only be used when fighting a real legal case. NOT for cases like this one where he knows he is in the wrong. Everyone else has to pay for parking. Why not him?! How long do Nelsonians have to put up with him literally airing his laundry out in the street?! The spot he has taken over use to be the perfect spot for buskers.

If you’re thinking of investing in property for income rental, capital gain or maybe a retirement nest egg, investment property specialist Wayne Densem can help you put those thoughts into action. Wayne has been in the property industry for around 20 years, has over 40 years of business and financial experience, a successful investment property portfolio and a passion for helping people achieve their own investment goals. Wayne’s first meeting with clients is about getting to know them, what they want to do, their investment fears and what they’re excited about. After that, it’s all about creating an action plan and meeting with their accountant, solicitor and mortgage provider to get all of the crucial facts together. “I find people get investment all wrong because they don’t plan,” says Wayne. “The second thing they do wrong is they don’t actually do anything, they go to seminars, they read books, but they never actually make a move. I love working with people to help them achieve their investment goals.” Once the ground work has been laid, the search begins for the right property and the right location, “and that can be anywhere in New Zealand.” Give Wayne a call today for investment property advice from one who’s ‘been there, done that.’ ? Duke & Cooke is Nelson's longest-established property consultancy practice and the region’s most experienced valuers, providing clients with a wide range of valuation and property consultancy services. Duke & Cooke has been trusted by Nelson and Tasman property owners for over 50 years to deliver accurate valuations within their time frame. Throughout their long history, they have stayed locally owned and completely independent, catering to clients’ valuation needs from residential homes, apartments, lifestyle properties, sections and subdivisions to commercial offices, retail premises, industrial sites, hotels and large utilities, or production property such as dairy, orchards, vineyards, forestry, marine and proposed developments. As well as being a member of the Property Institute of New Zealand, Duke & Cooke is a Quality Assured valuation business and panel valuers to all major lenders. Their QA accreditation means they have systems in place for controlling workplace quality and performance standards, giving clients confidence in the values and quality of service they will experience. The team at Duke & Cooke also offer an expert witness service and can assist in dispute resolutions. For more information on how Duke & Cooke can meet your valuation requirements, contact them today. Everyone knows how real estate traditionally works, agents receive a percentage-based commission from the sale of the property and the higher the price, the larger the commission. Well, Bellamy’s are here to offer everyone an alternative. Whether you’re looking for full real estate services, you’re selling privately and need a few hours help to negotiate or draw up the paperwork, or you’re looking to purchase property, Bellamy’s team of property experts have a unique approach to the task that embraces transparency. Like every other real estate firm, they offer a free initial consultation or appraisal so you can meet and plan together what is best for you and your property, but when it comes to providing their services, Bellamy’s sells property for no commission and no fixed fee. Their professional costs use the same structure as a lawyer or accountant. When you deal with the team at Bellamy’s, you only pay for the time and materials to get your property sold, no matter how much it sells for. It’s a process that’s not just fair and transparent, it leaves you with the most retained equity possible from the sale of your property. It doesn’t take a lot of hours to sell a house and vendors certainly don’t need to pay real estate agents tens of thousands of dollars for the service. Bellamy’s offers the same services as a conventional real estate agent when it comes to selling a home, including script writing, professional photographs and both online and print marketing. And because they advertise in exactly the same places as all other companies, they get the exact same buyers both nationally and internationally. As well as providing professional agents, Bellamy’s can also offer property consultation services, helping private sellers increase the chances of a successful sale and acting on the buyer’s behalf to find them the perfect property. They can even help with home loans and provide legal aid, thanks to their law division. Bellamy’s wants people to know that there’s another option out there when it comes to selling real estate that it will save them literally thousands. Their service sets them apart from any other operator in the industry and the Nelson team is keen to hear from anyone who would like to learn more about their unique system. With integrity in their word, transparency in their process and honest and impartial information, give them a call to arrange an obligation-free, preferential consultation today, because Bellamy’s sells property for no commission, no fixed fee – no kidding.

Trafalgar Centre Family Day 8 April With work on the Trafalgar Centre now complete, you are invited to come and celebrate with friends and family. Join the Mayor for a family day, explore behind the scenes, and relax for the afternoon with friends and family in Rutherford Park. Bouncy castles, skate boarding and face-painters are just the start of the fun, so save the date and we’ll see you there.

Co-Chair of Strategy and Environment Committee, Councillor Brian McGurk, presents winner Bronwyn Tuck with her prize and certificate.

We found the Best Little Woodshed Its official, the best little woodshed in town belongs to Bronwyn Tuck. Bronwyn’s simply built, affordable and artistically arranged wood storage system was the clear winner of the Best Little Woodshed competition.

Live music at the Library As part of the Live Music series on Sundays in the Elma Turner Library, we are pleased to present Bob Bickerton – a multi-instrumentalist, specialising in both traditional and contemporary Celtic music. He has performed widely around New Zealand both in concert and at festivals.

The judges, Co-chair of the Strategy and Environment Committee, Councillor Brian McGurk, and Eco-adviser Richard Popenhagen visited a shortlist of the sheds and looked for basic woodshed functions – under cover to keep the rain off, air flow to the sides and an airspace below the woodshed floor. They also gave marks for use of recycled materials, innovation, practicality and aesthetics. “There were some lovely sheds to look at and it was great to see how proud people were of their wood storage systems,” said Councillor McGurk. Bronwyn’s shed was created in her driveway, just a few steps from her door. “Our woodshed is a 'No Build' and was $0 cost as it was made up of materials lying around in the shed leftover from the house build,” said Bronwyn’s entry. “It really is physics magic in action! Like a Danish wood pile, it is supremely

beautiful and we have called it our Wood Mandala.” Bronwyn used breeze blocks to support the floor, with two cantilevered poles at each end acting as side walls. The whole arrangement sits alongside an existing retaining wall and can be dismantled and removed at the end of winter until it is needed again. Second place went to Michael Murphy’s very handy woodshed in the southern veranda of his 160 year-old cottage. Third place went to Anna Vesty’s well built, darkstained woodshed with four compartments that maintain airflow through-out the pile, a sloping roof and strong construction. The prize for innovation went to Susan Drew, who used two bulk plastic containers with the ends cut out and holes drilled for drainage/airflow. The containers fit well in to the space available, were free, and being light and movable were easy to handle and install. Susan also won the People’s Choice award with 106 likes on Facebook. All entrants received a free bag of kindling. The top three winners received a certificate and a voucher for firewood from a Good Wood supplier. The People’s Choice and the Innovation award winners each won a free flue clean/check.

New signage in place on Maitai Walkway Following Council’s decision in December, regarding access for walkers and cyclists on narrow sections of the Maitai Walkway, new signage is being installed. The signs will indicate that the section of Maitai Walkway from the lower Nile Street Bridge at Domett Street to Cloustons Bridge is not for mountain biking. Along the shared use section of the Walkway, from Cloustons Bridge to Jickells Bridge, other signs will be installed encouraging courtesy, sharing the path and asking cyclists to give way to pedestrians on the narrow sections and to slow down when approaching roads. All walkway users are asked to respect the restrictions in place, take care and look out for each other so everyone can enjoy this beautiful area safely.

Big Beach Clean Up

MEETINGS

Nelson’s beaches are looking squeaky clean after a major community effort to remove rubbish from our coastlines. The Big Beach Clean Up on 4 March saw 4.77 tonnes of rubbish collected along the coastline from Totaranui to Delaware Bay – an increase from 2014, when 3.73 tonnes of rubbish was collected. Within Nelson City, 21 groups volunteered, sorting rubbish and recyclables. Clare Barton, Group Manager Strategy and Environment, said Council appreciated the community effort that went in to cleaning up the beaches.

“It was very heartening to see people giving up their weekend for such a worthwhile cause. We all enjoy spending time on our beaches, and keeping them rubbish free is important not just for us but for the wildlife as well.” The event was organised by DOC in partnership with Nelson City Council, Tasman District Council and Nelmac Ltd. Sponsors Motueka New World and Tasman Bay Food Group Ltd provided refreshments for those bringing in the rubbish.

Lynfords take home national award Lynfords has returned from the annual Danske Mobler conference award winners, after taking out Best Studio for the Stressless brand within New Zealand. The conference was held the last week of February in Sydney and was attended by owner Kay Thomason and store manager Hamish Greenwood. “For us it’s really important, because we’re the exclusive retailers in the Nelson Marlborough regions, so it’s kind of like our identity and it’s something that we’ve been selling right from the start, Stressless is our point of difference from other furniture retailers,” says Lynfords’ Abbey Greenwood. The award is for both the Nelson and Blenheim stores and was awarded to them for continuously having a strong presence and displays of Stressless in the region. Their sales per capita were also higher than most other New Zealand regions. “We have been selling Stressless at Lynfords since 2003 and the range was part of the main focus of the new Nelson store which opened in Richmond in 2010. The Nelson store is now in Stoke and Stressless continues to be the flagship product range there,” says Abbey. The Stressless range has expanded from just recliner chairs, to lounge suites and full entertainment suites. The Lynfords showroom in Nelson has a large range of models for people to come in and comfort-test, as well as staff who are extremely knowledgeable about the brand.

Retirement is a time that everyone should look forward to, which is why this year’s Positive Ageing Expo at Headingly Centre will once again be packed with information, products and service providers, to help you enjoy some of the best years of your life. Those out there with skills they wish to carry on into

their retirement can utilise them within groups such as Menzshed, who will be doing demonstrations on the day, and the trapping and bird recovery groups that work out the back of Richmond. For those looking to get out on the regions great cycle trails, the E-bike may be the perfect tool so have a look for the E-

The expo will include companion driving services such as Driving Miss Daisy and retirement villages such as Ernest Rutherford and Summerset in the Sun. Both offer a great range of retirement living op-

tions including independent town houses and apartments, serviced apartments and a care centre. Simplicity Funerals will be there to answer any questions people have about saying goodbye to their loved ones, as well as giving advice on how to plan your own funeral now, to make things easier on family and friends.

Worry about keeping on top of maintenance at her Nelson home helped Jill McMullen make the decision to move to Summerset in the Sun. “I’m getting on a bit and started worrying about cleaning the windows and doing the garden,” says Jill. “I spoke with my sister about moving to a retirement village and she suggested I do it now while I’m in good health. My daughter also encouraged me to move. She came to see the apartment at Summerset with my granddaughter and they both said “we’d like to live in an apartment like this!” “Before I knew it I had sold my house and moved into a serviced apartment with my 17 year old cat Mitzi,” says Jill. “When I first visited the village I thought I might like a villa, but decided I didn’t need two bedrooms. Having an apartment means I don’t need to move if my needs change as I get older and need additional help with everyday things.” Talk to Pam at the Positive Ageing Expo to find out more about life at Summerset in the Sun.

“I’M SO GLAD WE MADE THE MOVE WHEN WE DID.” See Enid & Neville’s story at summerset.co.nz

Enid and Neville have lived at their Summerset retirement village apartment for over four years. Neville had suffered ill-health for some time and wanted to know that Enid would be safe and well looked after should anything happen to him. As Enid says, “We settled in beautifully, enjoying all the facilities, regular activities and being close to friends.”

Tinashe Marowa's second stint in Nelson has proved just as lifechanging as his first. The 20-year-old had a breakout season for Tasman United in the franchise's debut national season and it looks set to propel him to bigger and better things in football. On the eve of the team's last game, a 5-2 win at Trafalgar Park against Southern United, the diminutive attacker returned to Nelson Central School and the ESOL class he had been in 12 years prior. Tinashe spent six months at the school after arriving as a refugee from Zimbabwe. He did not speak any English, but now he has ambitions of playing for the All Whites. Tinashe scored in the win on Saturday. As he celebrated he looked for his English teacher from 12 years earlier, spotted her and gave her a thumbs up. “I wouldn’t have guessed the season would have played out like it has. “I came down [from Auckland] on trial and I managed to do enough to make the team, and them playing with quality strikers like Paul Ifill and Ernie [Ermal Hajdari] has

helped my game so much.” Tinashe has spent the past fortnight training with the Wellington Phoenix and has picked up a short-term contract with the Wellington Phoenix Reserves, His ultimate goal of playing for the All Whites may take him to bigger and better things than Tasman United, but Tinashe says Nelson will always hold a special place with him. Tinashe says it was a great experience to go back to Nelson Central School on Tuesday. “I really enjoyed it, and to see the kids who were in the same boat I was when I was eight was very humbling. “To have my old teacher Brenda Black watching was great.” Tinashe was named Tasman United Young Player of the Year for his attacking exploits, which saw him lead the team's golden boot standings until Paul Ifill scored four on Saturday. Cameron Lindsay was named Player of the Year after a rock-solid and dependable season. Tasman finished eighth in the 10team league with four wins, five draws and nine losses in their debut season. They finished ahead of Hamilton Wanderers and Southern United. The hard work starts again for season two.

Props in demand as club rugby season looms Marist is keen to ensure they go one better this year as the 2017 senior rugby season gets underway this weekend. Last year’s Car Company Nelson Bays division one runners-up have kept a core of their playing roster, which lost the final to Wanderers by two points last year, and are keen to get back to the decider to avenge their loss. Marist coach Anthony Holder says the team does have some early season injuries to contend with over the opening round of the combined NPD Tasman Trophy competition, which begins the season. “We’ll be missing a few key guys early but I think, overall, the team is shaping up well. “We got close last year and just missed out. Midfielder James Hawkey is one young player returning and who is keen for higher honours. James was pivotal with his accurate goal kicking and direction in the backline last year and is set to play a key role at second five. “James was one of our best last year and I know he’s keen to push for higher honours. “He’s a really nice kid and you can tell he’s put a lot of effort in at the gym.” Nelson won the Tasman Trophy last year after their injuries were overcome and they really hit their stride through the middle and late

Nelson Rowing Club will be strongly represented at the Maadi Cup National Secondary Schools Regatta on Lake Karapiro near Cambridge, which starts this weekend. The pinnacle event on the secondary school rowing regatta will see more than 2200 athletes compete, with students from Nelson College and Nelson College for Girls likely to be in the hunt for medals near the end of the week-long regatta. Both schools combined to win four gold medals, three silvers and a bronze at the South Island Secondary School Championships on Lake Ruataniwha near Twizel two weeks ago. Nelson Rowing Club coach Kaye Surgeoner says the team heads north with plenty of confidence. "Everyone was really happy after South Island’s and while it’s hard to compare times between the North Island and South Island because Karapiro is faster, we know we can compete even though there are some strong rowers up there."

part of the campaign. Assistant coach Chris Pugh says the loose forwards will be an area of strength, but like most of the other teams, a lack of props is a worry. Kahurangi coach Chris Binns says he wants his team to be competitive and pushing for a semi-final spot. He says the forwards will again be a strength this year and, if they can limit injuries, they will pose a hard challenge for any team. Stoke will look to be contenders this year with a lot of youth and experience combined in their backline. Coach Graeme Pitman, who steps up from the Bs this year, says the club has worked hard on improving its culture and that should show through. Waimea Old Boys coach Mark Milne returns, but the club itself has a fresh direction and approach. The returns of Pacific internationals Jeff Lepa and Dan Hytongue are sure to be crucial while James Lash could prove pivotal in the nine or 10 jersey. Wanderers will be the team to beat but will be without Trael Joass and Tone Ng Shiu who are both on national sevens duty. This Saturday, Marist host Waimea Old Boys at Tahunanui, Nelson welcome Stoke to Neale Park and Wanderers will face Kahurangi at Brightwater Domain. All matches start at 3pm and all games double up as Nelson Bays Division One and Tasman Trophy fixtures to begin the new season and ensure things start with a bang.

GALBRAITHS NeLSoN RuGBy FooTBALL CLuB Galbraith Nelson Rugby Club will look to build on the continuity of last season when the 2017 edition gets underway this weekend. Last year’s NPD Tasman Trophy winners overcame a slow start to be one of the most consistent sides through the 2016 senior rugby season. All indications point to the same happening this year. The club has accepted they may lose exciting back Tima Faingaanuku’s services for much of the campaign as he pushes his claims for the New Zealand Under-20s World Cup selection. Senior A assistant coach Chris Pugh says losing Tima is part of

Heki in 2017. Chris says the team is struggling for a few props but overall the depth in the squad will stand up against any senior team in the Nelson Bays region. “I think we’ll be very strong in the loose forwards,” he says. “We’ll be really good hunters of the ball. “Overall, I think our squad depth is really good and we should be competitive. Nelson had a preseason game against Collingwood over the weekend which was a good chance to test out combinations and run out any early season niggles that were facing players in the senior set-up. Nelson will host Stoke at Neale Park in round one on Saturday with kick-off at 3pm. Club president Shane Graham says after the loss of life member John Goodman a matter of weeks ago he hoped players would play with pride and passion in 2017. “It’s a chance for us as a club to set the tone for what will be our 150th (next year) and ensure that we commemorate that appropriately, and that starts this year.”

Nelson will look to back up their NPD Tasman trophy win from last year with an even more successful 2017. giving players every opportunity to succeed. “We are about pushing players to achieve their dream so, yes, it is a loss not having Tima, but it is what it is and we wish him all the best and want him to make it all the way.” Nelson has prided itself on

ensuring both senior teams train together and that philosophy certainly paid dividends as Nelson worked through injuries and came out the other side to be one of the form teams of the competition. Chris has stepped up from coaching the senior B team last year to assistant to head coach Kade

The club is bringing back its hugely successful Junior Training Day on April 27. The event will be run by former Tasman Mako Andrew Goodman. “It proved extremely successful in its first year last year and, when it’s being run by someone the calibre of Andrew Goodman, it’s easy to see why kids flock to it.” The club is also planning a sevens tournament for under-11, under-12 and under-13 players for the following day.

There will also be a Junior Club Day at some point during the season. Players will have the opportunity to push for Nelson age-group teams as well as Tasman teams like the Under-19, Griffins and Makos teams. Nelson has had a strong representation across age-group level with multiple generations of families putting in a great deal of work over the years to make the club successful both on and off the field. With Nelson being the oldest rugby club in New Zealand and its 150th celebrations fast approaching, the club is keen to make 2017 a big season for everyone involved.

Ethan Blackadder will look to put the Nelsons forward pack on the front foot throughout the season ahead. Founded in 1868, Rugby began in 1870 with the first game ever played between Nelson and Nelson College at the Botanical Reserve in Nelson City. Shane says it is important leaders emerge throughout the club in each team and players push

for higher honours. “If you look at our senior team, most of the guys have played some form of representative or age-group rugby. “It’s important that guys with those experiences step up and become leaders and help bring

through the younger guys. JAB numbers at the club remain steady with 200 kids likely to pull on the Nelson colours. Junior club captain Quentin Harwood says there was likely to be 11 junior teams from Un-

Jody Scott Nayland College student Brayden Nell is the form youth driver in the South Island at the moment, after winning in a run-off against team mate Hamish Carter the youth event at Woodford Glen Speedway on Friday night, He backed up that success by winning the South island title in Ashburton on Sunday. It’s a good time to peak with the New Zealand Youth Title in Oxford in May. A month off over the Christmas period seems to have refreshed his driving skills and he will be keen to take on the North Island drivers when they arrive at the New Zealand title. The 88n car has had a few tweaks over the season, which is showing dividends with plenty of racing still to come. The next big challenge will be King of the Coast in Greymouth on April 8. There will be a good lineup of cars for that title, then back here for Easter Championships. Brayden might need a bigger trophy cabinet if he keeps up

his present form. Fellow Nelson speedway driver Brett Nicholls picked up one of the major Super stock prizes last weekend, when he paired with Palmerston North’s Wayne Hemi to win the "Battle of the Stocks" in Christchurch. The battle pairs a South Island car with a North Island counterpart from a marble draw. There have been many try to

win it over the past 24 seasons but luck of the draw, plus intense racing with the best in the country, makes it one of the most sought after and tallest trophies to put on the mantel piece. Brett never made it out in heat 2 but his partner was continuing to get top placings, Wayne then won the shootout on night two to claim the $1000 prize for winning

from the back spot. A solid finish in the penultimate heat secured Wayne the individual title with a race to spare, and between he and Brett they held a 30 point buffer going into the last heat. Both drivers played it safe, watching to see if they would be taken out, but they weren’t targeted and claimed overall victory by 15 points and gain a confidence-boosting win.
