‘We’re sick of this...’

A stink has erupted in Glenduan after some disgruntled residents decided to take the community’s growing doggy-do problem into their own hands – including delivering dog droppings to the mayor.

Long-time residents Katherine Flanigan and Ray Cannel have dubbed the

Boulder Bank walking track “doggy-do lane”.

They recently counted more than 120 droppings on the popular dog spot, which is located on both Nelson City Council and Department of Conservation land.

The pair say they have spent the last three years asking

Southern Link ‘top priority’ Andrew Board Reporter

Traffic congestion, “rat running” and a “choked” city will be Nelson’s future if locals don’t have their say on a transport plan currently out for consultation, warns the city’s mayor.

After the general election, in which National was ousted from government, it was thought by many that the Southern Link project was off table.

The Link was also not part of a suite of regional roading projects that National were planning on petitioning the Labour-led government to keep.

However, Nelson Mayor Rachel Reese says the Southern Link is still the highest priority in the Top of the South and thinks the new government will support it.

But she says if Nelsonians want it to happen, they will still need to have their voices heard via the Nelson Draft Regional Traffic Plan.

“We want to send a clear message to the new government that this project is vital for Nelson and its future. As a high growth region, doing nothing or creating delays will ultimately result in the commercial heart of the Top of the South – Nelson City – being choked and starved and ratepayers footing increasing bills for

roads that are operating at over capacity.”

The Nelson Draft Regional Traffic Plan will help decide the future direction of the region’s traffic strategy.

Currently, the draft plan has $21 million of NZTA money set aside

over four years for further investigation and “pre-implementation” for the controversial Southern Link and a new walking and cycling route along Rocks Rd. A detailed NZTA investigation into the Southern Link – which would see a new highway built from St Vincent St through the suburb of Victory and to Wakatu Drive – concluded last year and showed there was a need for a third route to the city in the future but recommended “network optimisation” in the meantime.

Rachel says network optimisation would mean clearways, or three laning, on the two existing routes to the city, Tahunanui Drive and Waimea Road. It’s a move she doesn’t support.

She says if the Southern Link isn’t progressed, the already busy

arterial routes into Nelson will be “choked”, and create “rat running”, where drivers take back roads through residential areas instead of main roads.

But opponents say Nelson voters showed that the Southern Link was not a priority for the region when it voted for Labour in the party vote at last year’s election.

This was despite the National Party promising to build the road within three years if re-elected.

Nelson city councillor and 2017 Greens candidate Matt Lawrey says it is unlikely that the Government will support the Southern Link, considering all parties that now make it up spoke out against the Link during the election.

He says that it’s rare for a government to be thrown out after one term so it was likely it would be six to nine years before the Link

was back on the central Government agenda.

He says, rather than focus on the Link, there is a “window of opportunity” to make the waterfront inviting for all. This that did not rule out needing an arterial route by 2030, as the NZTA report says.

However, Matt says the report also says that the route does not necessarily need to be the Southern Link. “If we don’t take action now we may well get to three or six or nine years and still have done nothing to make the waterfront safer and nicer for everyone. And we won’t have an arterial route.”

He also implored people to submit on the draft regional plan but with a view to ensure Nelsonians get a walkway/cycleway along Rocks Rd that they can be proud of.

“If we don’t push for it, it might pass by.”

Rachel says without the Southern Link continuing “the problems and costs for Nelson ratepayers and residents will continue to increase”.

However, Matt says that her position is unsurprising considering she has “staked her entire political career on the Southern Link”.

“But Nelsonians have to ask whether her position is realistic based on the Government of today and at least the next six years.

It’s important Nelsonians realise that because otherwise we will miss out.”

Submissions for Nelson’s Draft Regional Land Transport Plan close at 5pm on Friday 9th February 2018. The plan can be found online on www.ncc.govt.nz and in hard copy at the council’s Customer Service Centre and libraries.

something about it. Although both agencies have now vowed to fix the problem, the couple say they are making “minimum token effort”.

Dogs at Glenduan must be on leads, and owners must pick up their dog’s droppings or else they could face a $300 fine.

Currently, there is only one rubbish bin, no bag dispensers and limited signs.

“I first contacted the council and DOC years ago, but they kept passing the buck,” says Katherine.

“I’ve stopped walking. I used to go four days a week but I’ve got to the stage now where it makes me angry and sick. If you’re running, you don’t dare look up at the scenery.”

Last week, the council said they would address the issue by relocating the one rubbish bin at the beach to the start of the track.

Signs will also be erected by the toilets, the playground and the beachfront requesting that people ensure they clean up after their dog and keep them on leashes.

“We are happy about the signs going up, but relocating one rubbish bin isn’t going to help.

They need to put bins along the track and a bag dispenser,” says Ray.

Glenduan resident Ray Cannel has been making “dozens” of his own home-made signs telling people to pick up their dog’s droppings. Photo: Kate Russell.

“Why take one bin that’s already there for people who sit and have picnics, uplift it and move it to the beginning of the track? Then you get a pile of mess on the beach - it’s defeating the purpose.”

Over the last few months, Ray has been on his own crusade, erecting “dozens and dozens” of his own homemade signs.

He even hand-delivered some “dried” dog droppings in a sealed bag to council in December, with a letter to Rachel Reese. “I wanted to make a point, otherwise nothing was going to happen,” he says.

A council staff replied to Ray with a note saying patrols would be increased and that the bag of droppings had been disposed of.

Alec Louverdis, group manager infrastructure at the council says they are “well aware” of the residents’ concerns and they had been responded to.

“Council staff have discussed the issue with DOC and we are now organising to relocate the rubbish bin and to install appropriate signage this week.”

He also says that visits to the area by animal control officers have increased but they won’t install a bag dispenser because of the “environmental impacts”.

“Often these dispensers get unrolled, creating a lot of plastic rubbish. Installing one so close to the ocean is viewed as a potential risk to the ecosystem health.

“Dogs are required to be on a lead in the Glenduan Reserve and council and DOC hope that these measures will help in reinforcing the message to dog owners/walkers.”

But Ray is not placated.

“It is one big dog toilet down there.

“We’ve even thought of putting a 44-gallon drum halfway along the track with a plastic liner in it. I’m not going to stop until it’s sorted.”

New multi-club facility backed for Tahunanui Locally Owned and Operated

Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

A number of clubs and groups are supporting the construction of a “much needed” multi-use facility next to the Tahunanui Beach sports field.

Chairman of the Tahunanui Business Association Rob Stevenson, is co-ordinating the proposal.

He says they are very much in the “preliminary stages” but the idea has been “floating around for years”.

The building would house the Nelson Surf Life Saving Club, Marist Rugby Club and various kite boarding and paddle sports clubs, plus others who all currently operate from “limited facilities”.

“And a lot of the public amenity buildings [at Tahunanui Beach] are also pretty old and the current public changing rooms have really been overwhelmed by the increased use during summer,” says Rob. “We are only in initial early discussions and we still need to look at who’s going to step up to the plate to contribute - there are quite a few parts to the puzzle.”

President of the Nelson Surf Life Saving Club, Marcus Gardiner, says it’s the “opportune time” to

He says the list of clubs and groups who would use the facility is “massive”.

“There would easily be 20 organisations that would use it.”

The club has been operating from the old community police building by the Tahunanui sports field for the last five years, with its

Some things are just better together

main base being the Marine Rescue Centre on Wakefield Quay.

Their gear is stored in shipping containers and a Nelmac shed at the beach - meaning they have to work from three different locations.

“It’s nothing very glorified,” says Marcus.

The club has had concept plans drawn up by a local architect, and

although they know “it’s not going to happen overnight” it gives them something to work to.

“No one would want to use it seven days a week so it does have to be multi-use. We need a longterm dedicated facility but it’s hard to go and build a facility for just one organisation,” adds Marcus. “There will be a lot of common use features – a lot of sports

groups don’t need bars anymore, but just something to use when they are having events, prize givings and things like that.”

He says it would also provide a use to the surrounding community. “Tahuna doesn’t have a focal point and it would be a great thing for community groups to use, too.”

Marcus says most people are “open-minded” as to where it would go - but the beach layout is “quite limiting”.

Chairman of Nelson City Council’s sport and recreation committee, Tim Skinner, says council is “very supportive” of the idea of a shared facility that would have “maximum multiple use”.

“It has been on our agenda for a while and we’ve sat down a number of times with various clubs and worked through some ideas.

There are a lot of both formal and informal groups that would use it.”

Tim believes there is a growing need for a facility and says he’d like to see it happen soon.

“I would hope it would be in the next year or two, but the priority is finishing the projects that we’ve already started and ensuring prudent use of ratepayers’ money.

If we get some partnership with funding, we’d like to do what we can.”

Rain washes out summer events Brittany Spencer Reporter

reporter@nelsonlive.co.nz

Nelson has always boasted a summer full of outdoor events, but with this year’s wet weather several have quite literally been wash-outs.

Tahuna Summer Sounds, Movies Al Fresco, Summer Shakespeare, and the Tasman Skatepark Tour have all fallen victim to recent rain bombs.

The beach vibes of the first Tahuna Summer Sounds were completely washed away as the January 12 event was postponed until the next day and then cancelled, in the face of torrential rain and a severe weather warning issued by Metservice.

“It has definitely been wetter than the last two or three years, and the Friday and Saturday before last were really horrible,” says organiser Axel de Maupeou.

“Because we are in a region where summer is quite prevalent and lasts quite some time, it came as a little bit of a disappointment, but that is the nature of outdoor events.”

And the data seems to back it up. Niwa last week reported that Nelson and Tasman had the wettest soil in the South Island

compared to this time last year.

Two weeks ago, Niwa also released a report declaring that the region had the most sunshine hours in the country during 2017.

However, principal scientist of forecasting, Chris Brandolino, said that “the theme for 2017 was extremes”.

In addition to several extreme events across New Zealand, “46 locations recorded record or near record April rainfall”.

Axel says the weather is not something you can control so everyone takes a risk when they put on an outdoor event.

“When it pays off it pays off really well, but when it doesn’t work there isn’t much you can do.”

However, Axel says last Friday’s Tahuna Summer Sounds had perfect weather and extra spots were made for several artists in the first event’s line-up who missed out, giving them the chance to perform under the sunshine as originally intended.

Several of the annual Summer Movies Al Fresco screenings were forced indoors for the first time in the event’s history due to the wettest summer that organiser Antony Hodgson has seen.

With five viewings cancelled due to weather in the first two weeks of the event it is already the

Washbourn Garden’s screening of The Wizard of Oz was moved indoors to the Richmond Town Hall. Photo: Judene Edgar. most screenings cancelled in one summer, with the previous worst just three.

“This has been our biggest year of rain in a very long time for the summer movies.”

Antony says having to cancel

screenings was very disheartening but, thankfully, organisers were able to get creative and find indoor venues so people could still enjoy their summer movies.

For Summer Shakespeare their production of Twelfth Night went

on with a last-minute rain venue being organised at The Granary at Founders Park. Cast member Laura Irish has been involved in outdoor theatre shows at Fairfield House for eight years.

This year was the first she could remember where the rain had a big impact.

“It’s a shame because the cast has all worked so hard to put on a great show. But we are looking forward to the rest of the tour which takes us to Richmond and Motueka. Hopefully the weather plays nice.”

The region’s skaters have also missed out with two of the bigger Tasman Skatepark Tour events being cancelled due to the rain.

“The weather has definitely affected us,” says Sport Tasman recreation assistant Seth Watson.

“We’ve made it to the little skateparks but Brightwater and Motueka were both cancelled and we had to do our event in Tapawera really quickly because it started to rain.”

Despite having to call off the Brightwater event last year, Seth says this Skatepark Tour has been the wettest one yet.

“The kids miss out, you can’t skate, scooter or BMX on a wet park, but they made the most of the time they did have.”

Fighting against new Stoke crossing Charles Anderson Editor

charles@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Kim Hall is not giving in without a fight.

The owner of Squire’s Café in Stoke was told two months ago that a “pedestrian refuge crossing” would soon be built from the new Broadgreen Community Centre to the main Stoke car park in Strawbridge Square.

The idea is part of a “traffic calming” plan for Stoke.

However, it would also mean that Kim would lose three car parks outside her busy cafe which are often used for deliveries and families dropping off elderly customers.

So Kim has organised a petition to get her customers and other concerned locals to lend their voices to the opposition.

'There have been so many people coming in and telling me to do a petition, so this is really a reaction to that," she says.

It tells me that everyone thinks that this plan makes no sense.”

She already has about 150 signatures.

People are writing evertything from that the plan is "dangerous" to "idiotic" and "unnecessary."

"I've been really encouraged by the response," Kim says.

The crossing project was linked to feedback received from the Stoke community during the ‘Spotlight On Stoke’ consultation three years ago.

However, Kim only took ownership of the Squire’s business 18 months ago.

The council says a number of public meetings and a survey were undertaken to the identify priorities for improving the Stoke area.

The refuge was included in answer to feedback asking for improvements for traffic and pedestrian access along and across main roads that divide Stoke – particularly the Songer Street and Main Road Stoke intersection.

The council says it is intended to make it safer and easier to get across the main road.

It will be installed next month to

However, Kim says it will just

lead to accidents as there are two other pedestrian crossings within 80 metres of each other.

“It’s unsafe. But I’m realistic, I

know that it’s a long shot but I have to give it a go.

‘Sorry’ for the smell Locally Owned and Operated

Charles Anderson Arun Kumar says he just wants to be a good neighbour.

The owner of the Taaj Restaurant acknowledges there has been some issues with the smell of food coming out of his restaurant but is adamant the issue has been dealt with.

“I feel really sorry that the situation has come along this far,” he says.

Last week, the Nelson Weekly reported on the issues faced by the restaurant’s neighbour, Yogi Unger, who says the fumes from the restaurant make some of his rooms unliveable.

Yogi moved into the neighbourhood more than three years ago, while the Taaj has been there for about a year.

Arun says the restaurant has tried “very hard” to mitigate the smell – even changing the way it cooks its food and installing a new filter.

“We have complied with everything the council has said.”

Nelson City Council says its last audit of the restaurant, 12 months ago, found it had good systems in place.

Arun says there was a problem with the smell “but it wasn’t huge” and cast doubt on Yogi’s accusations by saying there were others

Taaj Indian Restaurant owner Arun Kumar says he has worked to help solve a problem with his neighbour who complained about the smell from his kitchen. Photo: Charles Anderson. in the area that cooked food and the smell may be from that. “[The smell] could be anyone’s.”

Arun says he just wants a happy neighbourhood.

“He is our neighbour, he is seek-

ing to live in a nice peaceful environment and so are we. At the end of the day we want to be a good neighbour.”

He invited anyone who had an issue with the restaurant to visit

to see if the problem could be resolved.

“We want a peaceful and calm neighbourhood. It’s good for us and for you.”

However, Yogi says the issue is

not solved and it is just as bad as it has always been. He was still planning on pursuing the matter further.

“Our visitors tell us it’s bad, it’s not just my brain.”

$20k raised for local hospice in our Community’ event gave Farmers' customers the opportunity to remember someone special to them, and to make a donation or buy a limited-edition bauble in support of the work of hospice.

Between the Nelson and Richmond Farmers stores, $22,366

was raised, nearly $5000 more than last year. All of the funds donated go straight to Nelson Tasman Hospice.

Nelson Tasman Hospice chief executive Frans Dellebeke said he would like to thank each and every person in the community who chose to donate during the

campaign. “We are so thankful to everyone who has supported the Trees of Remembrance – it’s an important annual fundraiser for us – helping us to continue to deliver our free-of-charge services to our region. I’d like to thank the Farmers staff who encouraged their customers to contribute, es-

“Some people go to the pub, some people play with electric trains, but we play with sewing machines and then get out and enjoy it all.”

Stephen travels around the country going to different kite festivals but says Neale Park is claimed to be one of the best urban kite fields in the world.

“It’s the perfect spot, you’ve got a big open area and steady sea breezes and we’ve had thousands of people come out for it, families enjoying themselves and kids looking up in awe.”

Organiser Ted Howard says that, after last year’s disastrous event, Sunday’s event was the perfect contrast.

“Last year we got absolutely trashed, trees were down, gazebos were flying, we got completely rained out. But this year was absolutely perfect. Everyone had a big grin on their faces and all the pros were raving about the clean, strong wind.”

Ted says he will never get tired of the sight of so many kites flying over Nelson.

“One of the sayings we have is that when you’re flying a

kite you’re fishing for angels, and when you catch one the line sings, and they were sure singing, it was just magnificent.”

Entry was a gold coin donation, with all the proceeds going towards running next year’s event and, thanks to the generosity of the public, Ted is happy to announce they’ll be back next year.

“We really appreciate all the donations and community support, that’s what is keeping this event going, without it we wouldn’t be here,” he says.

Education is the adventure for Des Judene Edgar Reporter

judene@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Expeditions to Antarctica, rafting trips to South America, and rubbing shoulders with vikings are the sort of travels that people dream of, but former Nelson College staff member Des Duthie still says his greatest adventure is teaching.

While still at high school, Des knew that he wanted to be a teacher, but some amazing opportunities along the way have seen him on many exciting adventures, that all add to his unique teaching style and knowledge.

After leaving the University of Natal in South Africa with a Bachelor of Science majoring in physics and mathematics, he was offered the opportunity to join an expedition to Antarctica as a physicist.

“I had the most amazing job,” he says. “I’d go out every night during winter and watch the sky and use a light-sensitive camera to record the aurora lights.”

After completing his PhD, based on his Antarctica research, Des got the opportunity to join a rafting trip from South Africa to South America.

Unfortunately, they only lasted

Des Duthie is looking forward to sharing his love of learning with students. Photo: Judene Edgar. three weeks at sea but that didn’t stop him.

“I bought a ticket to South America and spent a year there,” he says.

His wanderlust also saw him travel to Scandinavia, Norway, Turkey, Thailand and Canada, before returning to Antarctica, this time as leader of the expedition.

Yet another adventure, this time

nEw BalanCE SPECialS

spending three months in New Zealand, saw Des shift here in 1992.

His first two years were spent working at the small Inangahua College in Reefton, where he got the moniker ‘Doc D’.

He then shifted to Richmond where he taught at Nelson College for 16 years.

While there, he was “famous” for

hitch-hiking to school every day, and ran the regional Science and Technology Fair for over 10 years.

An award in his name recognises his phenomenal contribution to the region’s future scientists.

But his wanderlust got the better of him once again and in 2012 he set sail for new adventures in Rarotonga, as head of science for Tereora College.

“I cycled to school every morning,” he says.

“I just had a magnificent time.”

While the relaxed lifestyle was a clear highlight of his time there, another highlight was taking in his telescope so that the students could watch Venus transit across the sun, as first predicted by astronomers over 150 years ago.

But Des says that while he was ready to leave full-time teaching behind, he wasn’t ready to leave teaching altogether.

“I love the challenge of explaining difficult concepts and ideas to children and helping them use that understanding to learn further,” Des says.

“Once they start understanding they start to enjoy learning and their confidence builds.”

Settling back in Richmond, 'Doc D' now runs a tutoring service for intermediate and secondary school students in maths, physics, chemistry and English.

He says that throughout his 30 years of teaching, he often found that students would get help “too late”, often just before exams, whereas usually it’s better to have on-going support.

Art inspires in the gardens Charles Anderson

Call out for volunteers Judene Edgar Every 90 minutes another New Zealander dies from heart disease. It is the country’s biggest killer, with around 6000 victims each year.

The Heart Foundation is asking for people to help shake things up, literally. They are calling out for volunteers to give up 90 minutes of their time to shake buckets and collect funds as part of their Big Heart annual appeal, which raises funds to help reduce this shocking statistic.

Nelson heart health advocate Averil West says that it is sobering to think that during the short period of time that a volunteer will be out collecting donations, that at least one New Zealander will have died of heart disease.

“We really need people to hit the streets to collect life-saving funds, while enjoying the opportunity to be out in their community doing good,” Averil says.

Third-year nursing student Hannah Fowler has already put Hannah Fowler, left, is up her hand after helping Averil West with taking part in last the Big Heart appeal. year’s Jingle Bell Photo: Judene Edgar.

Jog charity fun run.

“I definitely became interested because of my nursing studies and seeing the impact of heart disease on patients,” Hannah says.

“I really wanted to support a local charity, and this is a good opportunity to get involved.”

Being involved with the street appeal is just the first step for Hannah who has also signed up as a regular Heart Foundation volunteer to offer her time and skills to help the organisation.

“Even with a healthy lifestyle, you can still be at risk because age is a risk factor,” says Averil.

“Men over 45 and women over 55 need to be getting regular heart checks.”

Volunteer collectors are needed to help raise funds in Richmond, Mapua, Stoke, Nelson, Motueka and Takaka during the Big Heart appeal.

If you can give 90 minutes as a street collector on Friday, February 23 or Saturday, February 24, visit heartfoundation.org.nz/volunteer or contact Averil on 021 303 160.

Nicole Russell had plenty of time to find inspiration for her art while sailing around the world for 18 months with her husband, two children and a cat.

“I had a lot of time and I love painting reflections, which helps when you are surrounded by water.”

Nicole was one of 50 artists who set up in the Queens Gardens on Saturday as part of Art Group Nelson’s annual exhibition.

Nicole said the family made the call to sail to New Zealand from the United

States and she didn’t have much choice to back out once they had jumped aboard.

“Once you’re off that’s it, you have to figure it out.”

Nicole’s work is largely still life but she also has a portfolio of art inspired by her time at sea.

Exhibition organiser Ann Redpath says the day went “fantastically well” with a large group of people swarming through the gardens during the hot day.

“I don’t think we have ever had a wet day which is great because it’s such a big thing to organise.”

Are you building, renovating or decorating?

“From the moment I walked in the door stressing due to service or lack of it elsewhere, they were amazing to deal with… Highly recommend and will certainly use again.”

- Leah Keown “I heard about the great service at ColourPlus in Richmond so walked in with my new house plans with wallpaper in mind…I can highly recommend calling in to see the team at ColourPlus for a great product range, friendly and knowledgeable service!”

Burger King experience: It was interesting reading your article on Burger King. In November 2016 I had a similar problem, it took an hour to receive my order and the place wasn't clean then. I emailed Burger King, they said they were having staffing problems and were in the process in employing more staff. The only thing they could offer was another burger, as if I would go back. Maybe they should offer their staff more incentives. I did suggest they should take a leaf out of McDonald’s book on how to run a successful

clean business. Let’s hope Burger King gets their act together as it has been like this for a while.

I think it’s an ode to ol hone... possibly part of his rules of contract for vacating the city. Kelly Watson.

They are a perfect match for the large Christmas tree which had no lights or decorations. Drab and lacking festivity. Karyn Brain.

I feel happy about this news. I personally find the bold colour and sparkly lights theme can be a bit much to cope with at Xmas when the silly season is upon us. I found these to be very calming in an otherwise very hectic and crazy time of year. They’re actually very beautiful if you study them. Lynette Lloyd.

Restaurant kicks up a stink: They do good food, this shouldn't stop people going to them. There is more to this story that the paper hasn't included. I’m sure maybe they should get both sides of the story before people judge a business. I guess if you live in a industrial area there are good and bad things that come with it. I'm sure the restaurant is trying to fix the problem. Laura Parkin.

Feel sorry for them. we used to be next to a smelly food place and it makes you feel nauseous, makes your house and clothes smell. Jo Wilson.

They do good food there, there’s no doubt about that, but I can imagine how irritating this must be for homeowners if the odour is constant, even more so if you brought the house prior to the restaurant opening end of 2016. Carmyn Hunt.

Skaters wrap up summer tour Brittany Spencer Reporter

reporter@nelsonlive.co.nz

After travelling around the region, skaters, scooters and BMX-ers had one last shot to show off their stuff in Sunday’s Tasman Skatepark Tour finale.

Surprising no one, skateboarding prodigy Alex Moreau took out the Junior Skate category for the third year in a row.

“It feels pretty good, I didn’t think I’d ever win three in a row.”

Alex’s arsenal of new tricks wowed the crowds throughout the tour and included 360 Supermans, blunts, and 5-0 grinds.

Event organiser and Sport Tasman recreation assistant Seth Watson says everyone should expect big things from the young skater.

“If he sticks to skating he could go pretty far, and he’s got all the older guys encouraging him and has some awesome support from his parents.”

Seth says they had around 70 competitors carving up the park on Sunday.

“It was good finishing with the biggest event, we had the most skaters we’ve ever had

at a comp and it’s scary how good they all were.”

Zane Anderson and Blake Davis were also standouts among the younger competitors, winning the junior bike and junior scooter categories respectively.

Dylan Hampton put the cherry on top of this year’s tour, winning not only the overall senior skate category but also the final competition of the tour at Neal Park.

Throwing kickflips, board slides, and 50-50s, the Waimea College student says he loves coming out to the tour events.

“It’s pretty sick when all the skaters come along and shred together and encourage each other, the older guys are crazy and seeing all the younger guys really getting into skating is sick, there’s a lot of talent here.”

Tom Bassett and Ryan Turner also entertained the crowd with their tricks, winning the senior bike and scooter.

Event MC Ben Short won the veteran skate section, Carl Thomas took home the veteran bike title and Tasman Skatepark Tour regular Ryan McHugh won the veteran scooter.

Nelson Buskers Festival comes to town!

The Nelson Buskers Festival, from Thursday 1 – Sunday 4 February, is a great way to see international acts right in the heart of our city. Each year, the Festival brings some of the world’s hardest working buskers to Nelson – be amazed, be entertained, be amused and beware the shenanigans!

• Buskers on the Church Steps, Sat 3 and Sun 4 Feb at 6pm, Church Steps

Bubble Laboratory (Australia/Romania) More than half a million people have laughed, cried and gasped in awe at the beauty of the bubble in its every conceivable, shape, size and artistic sculpture.

• Buskers at The Boathouse, Thurs 1 Feb at 8pm; Fri 2 Feb at 8.30pm, The Boathouse. Cost: Pre-sales $30. Door sales $37.50 (plus TicketDirect service fee).

The line-up for the 2018 Nelson Busker Festival is: Sport Suzie (New Zealand) Sport Suzie is a total fanatic for aerobics, sport and circus, so don’t miss her awesome circus tricks and amazing 6ft jumprope finale while balanced on a tall unicycle.

Mr Spin (Australia) Mr Spin mixes traditional juggling, Chinese devil-sticking with baseball bats, one ball manipulation and an eight-ball juggle with mad-capped antics and an incredible sense of fun, not to mention a few hat tricks thrown in!

Her Majesty's Secret Circus (USA) Honeymoon and Butterfly are two highly-trained operatives on a mission to save the planet from boredom, dressed in their fabulous action suits, and riding on a giant stealth cycle. Comic espionage at its finest!

Nathaniel Rankin (Canada) Combining state-of-the-art modern magic, circus skills, dangerous stunts, audience interaction, comedy and mind reading.

Best Little Woodshed 2018

MEETINGS

Council is running the Best Little Woodshed competition again, with prizes including firewood and chimney clean/checks. Last year we saw some wonderful, creative and very practical solutions to storing your wood, so we hope to see some more of the same this year.

The following meetings of the Nelson City Council have been scheduled: Audit, Risk and Finance Subcommittee 9am 13 Feb

How to enter 1. Check out Council’s tips on how to buy and store your firewood at nelson.govt.nz/burn-bright 2. Get your wood in, stack it loosely and make sure that » The wood is off the ground to avoid moisture seeping up from below » Air flow can reach the sides of the pile » The top of the pile is covered with a well-secured wind and rain-proof cover.

3. If you need to build a shed, remember you don’t need a Building Consent as long as it is » Less than 10m2 in floor area » No more than one storey high, with a max. floor height from the ground of 1m, and max. roof height 3.5m above floor level » Not positioned closer than the shed’s own height to a boundary or residential building.

4. Take a photo of your woodshed, wood stack or ingenious wood storing solution, and upload it with your entry at nelson.govt.nz/burn-bright. Entries are open until 16 February 2018.

Commercial Subcommittee 1pm

The NRLTP proritises the transport projects for the next seven years and seeks funding for them. The key projects included are: • Progress the Nelson Southern Link Investigation to better understand the appropriate response to increasing levels of congestion and forecast growth in tandem with the Rocks Road walking and cycling project.

• A partnership project with our Tasman neighbours and the Transport Agency that considers the best form, function and hierarchy of the Richmond and Stoke south transport network.

• Improvements to the safety and resilience of the SH6 Blenheim to Nelson route.

The Public Transport Plan (NRPTP) covers the public transport service we provide. This plan is proposing a few changes, which might be of interest.

• Introducing low floor buses on local routes to make the services more accessible to those with mobility challenges.

• Student/CS card fare reduction so children over 5 years, students and community service card holders all pay the same fare.

Have you ever seen a face in the ordinary?

Lloyd Harwood wants to see them. The manager of Arts Council Nelson is putting the call out for a community art project with a difference.

He says the concept is to en-

ers to send in images of those photos for everyone to enjoy.

“It could be a face in a tree, or a stapler or anything really, I'd like to be surprised,” Lloyd says.

At the end of it all, he is hoping to have enough to create a mass photo collage of all the unusual faces around the region.

The best ones will also be featured in the Nelson Weekly over the next month.

GENERATIONS OF NELSON Brought to you by Marsden House

Switching trackS

The Nelson Racecourse successfully operated at the Stoke site for nearly 30 years with the addition of a handsome two-storey grandstand until the Nelson-tonowhere railway began, with the

line cutting straight through the track in 1873. After a few years of covering the railway line with sawdust each race day to preserve the event, the Nelson Jockey Club sold up and moved to its present track in Richmond.

Suter offers art classes Charles Anderson

The Suter is branching out, extending its popular afterschool children’s art sessions to hands-on art classes for teenagers and adults.

“Suter Kids' Club”, the afterschool art classes for children 5 to 12 years old, has been running each term, for more than a decade, says gallery director Julie Catchpole.

But for the last two terms of 2017, the gallery also introduced an after- school art class for teens called “My Artspace”.

Now, for the first term of 2018, two classes are being offered for adults, in addition to Suter Kids' Club and My ArtSpace.

Both led by Mark Dunstan, one is ‘art for absolute beginners’ and the other caters for beginners to those who might be more experienced but perhaps want encouragement to try something new, such as new techniques, working in different media or trying to tackle different subject matter.

“With a regularly changing exhibitions programme and a collection to draw on, there is

never any shortage of inspiration at hand in the gallery.”

Suter Kids’ Club has some spaces available in its sessions which are run on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays; Thursdays are for an adult class in the early afternoon and My Art Space after school and the second adult class is offered on Friday mornings.

For further details see www. thesuter.org.nz, for availability of spaces and bookings contact the Suter Gallery on 548 4699 or visit at 208 Bridge Street, Nelson.

Pets bring joy to the elderly

Jessie Johnston

Nelson Weekly

Therapy, relaxation, a loyal companion - a pet’s friendship truly is priceless, but for many elderly people, owning animals is not possible.

Downsizing, relocating to a retirement home or not being mobile enough to care for a pet are just some of the reasons, however, Age Connect Nelson Tasman is determined to give local elderly the chance to regularly enjoy the unconditional love of animals.

“Everybody knows that pets are good for wellbeing and it just occurred to us to find a way of bringing animals to the people who can’t have them anymore,” says Breffni O’Rourke, coordinator for Age Connect Nelson Tasman.

They put a call out on their Fa-

Like us on

cebook page asking for volunteers to bring along their pets, and people “responded overwhelmingly".

The first Pet Connect event was held at Age Concern Nelson Tasman on Wednesday morning, during Age Connect’s weekly Tea & Talk session.

Around six volunteers brought along their dogs, although Breffni says they are keen to expand Pet Connect to include cats, birds and even animals in a rural setting.

“We are looking for some locals who have “friendly, lounge loving, not-phased-by-strangers” cats, who wouldn’t mind hosting a couple of older people for an hour,” says Breffni.

“Or maybe someone who has a farm or lifestyle block where the older people could feed their chickens, pigs, calves, lla-

mas, horses, etc.”

Richmond resident Annie McClelland attended the event on Wednesday and says it’s a great idea for people like herself and her husband, who can’t have pets anymore.

“I’m off a farm so we’ve had dogs and cats, lambs, magpies and birds. My husband would love a dog, but he can hardly walk. We go out to our son’s farm and the dogs just go mad, jumping all over him. He does miss them but when you’re in town a dog is a nuisance,” she says.

Anyone interested in sharing their animals with the region's elderly community are encouraged to contact Breffni through the Age Connect Facebook page – Age Connect Nelson Tasman, or at Age Concern in Richmond on 544 7624.

Surf lifesavers tackle Tahuna beach Andrew Board The sight of dozens of surf lifesavers diving into the water at Tahunanui Beach would usually be cause for some concern, but over the weekend it was all for sport.

The Nelson Surf Lifesaving Carnival was a competition hosted by the Nelson club, along with the West Coast’s Kotuku club and Marlborough’s Rarangi

club. Nelson Surf Lifesaving Club captain Aaron Lyttle says the carnival was a huge success with sunny days and plenty of action in the water and on the beach.

“It was fantastic.

“The first day was all about IRB racing and the Sunday was the beach sports.”

The IRB racing included the inaugural running of the ‘Run to the Bay’ where teams had to get from Tahunanui Beach to

Cable Bay and back as quick as surf in Nelson, it’s actually really they could. The race was won by hard work - because you can’t the Rarangi club ahead of two catch a ride on the way back so Christchurch teams, a West Coast you’re working the whole time,” team and a Nelson team. he says.

The second day of the carnival Aaron says the event featured featured beach sprints, beach 45 local children in the Nippers flags, surf races, board races and a ski race.

Aaron says the flat water made for tough work for PROPERTY MANAGEMENT LTD | MREINZ surf competitors.

“Even though we have no

classes and about a dozen senior local lifeguards.

Another tough weekend for batsmen

SporTS FOOTBALL: Tasman United's investment in youth is paying off, with it claiming a big 4-2 over Southern United in Dunedin on Sunday. Tasman conceeded first but came back strongly with goals to Daniel Allan, Paul Ifill and a brace to Maksym Kowal. Tasman will play Team Wellington this Saturday at Saxton Field. Kick off is at 2pm.

Andrew Board Another weekend, another terrible day for batting averages.

Nelson Cricket's senior club 50-over competition is only a few weeks old but low scores has been a talking point and it was no different on Saturday with scores of 54, 74 and 132.

In case any clarification is needed, those are team scores, not individual.

Over 10 innings played so far the average team score is just 105.

Wanderers were the worst performers on the weekend, eeking out 54 runs from 24 overs at the Brightwater Domain.

In response, Waimea Toi Toi United cantered to the total in under 11 overs and with the loss of just two wickets. Jon Routhan was the star, scoring an unbeaten 41 off just 35 balls At the Botanics, Nelson College, missing many of its senior players, fell for just 74, leaving ACOB a simple run chase.

The hosts did lose four wickets on their way to victory, but nowhere near enough to trouble them.

Things were slightly better for Wakatu at the Marsden Rec, but not much.

Wakatu scored 132 before Stoke/Nayland continued its unbeaten run by reaching the total with the loss of just three wickets.

Stand outs for Stoke/Nayland were Kurt Pahl with 49 and Kendall Hodson with 47, while Ili Tugaga took a five wicket bag with the ball.

RUNNING: NBS Nelson Striders will hold its first Sunday Expedition for 2018, on February 4th at Parachute Rock in the Nelson Lakes National Park. Trailrunners and walkers competent to tackle the climb are invited to join them. The landmark gained its name from a parachute-shaped gravel scree and the St Arnaud Range ridgeline at 1683m is a challenging kilometre climb from Kerr Bay, Lake Rotoiti (634m) below. Trailwalkers will commence at 8am with trialrunners an hour later. Further details please email nelson striders@outlook.com

FUNDING: Friday, March 9, 2018 is the cut-off date for the latest round of KiwiSport funding and Sport Tasman community sport manager Mel Greenwood urges schools, sports clubs/organisations and community groups to get their applications in as soon as possible.

Last year approximately $285,000 was distributed across the Tasman area to a variety of recipients. Mel says the procedure for applying for funding is not onerous and she was readily available to help.

Tri Minus One draws strong field Locally Owned and Operated

Peter Gibbs An enthusiastic field of competitors aged from 10 to 72 took part in a new event at Rabbit Island on Sunday.

The sport of triathlon has spawned many offshoots over the years.

Duathlon incorporates bike and run and was initially called biathlon, but had a name change to stop it being confused with the Olympic sport combining skiing and shooting.

Aquathlon came along later, offering swim and run legs, and more recently aquabike combined swim and bike.

Sunday's event at Rabbit Island required competitors to choose one of these options and 76 competitors fronted up for Tri Minus One, supported by the Interislander Big Tahuna, the national ocean swim race that comes to Nelson at Easter.

With short or long options, there were six events starting simultaneously, but it didn't take long for the fields to spread out.

Hayden Squance led the runners over the opening 2km, followed by Connor Guillemot.

The pair went their separate ways in the second stage, with Squance on his bike building a commanding lead over the duathlon field in a 10km bike ride, while Guillemot took to the water for the 1km swim as part of the aquathlon.

Roger Matheson and Christina Harris formed a tidy partnership in the opening 5km ride in the aquabike.

Both handy swimmers, they left the rest of the field behind over their next stage, the 1km swim.

First to cross the finish line was Squance, winning the duathlon with a handy margin over Ed Kerly, Wayne Leighton and Luke Clatworthy, while Meg Bichard led Hannah Barnsley in the women's duathlon.

Jon Linyard came in narrowly ahead of Guillemot in the aquathlon, with Fran Harris and Karen Price leading the women in the swim/run combination.

Matheson and Harris wrapped up the aquabike with a solid bike ride, ahead of Finn Mckenzie, Kate Kempthorne, Hannah Price and Martin Thompson.

Finn and Steve Bryant won the short aquabike from Fiona Young.

Lilly Greenwood was a narrow winner in the short aquathlon from Eddy Connolly, while Neve Mckenzie took the short duathlon from Quin Viney and the Boustridge brothers Conrad and Daniel.

The Nelson Tri Club's next event is the Proper Crisps Team Triathlon on February 11.

Stu Pope.

Dive and Fishing clubs merge Stu Pope The Nelson Bays Dive Club Inc was formed in July 1997. Over the past 21 years we have completed many exciting trips both in New Zealand and overseas.

In New Zealand we are blessed with world class dive sites with some of these on our back doorstep in the Nelson-Marlborough region and others a bit further afield like Fiordland, Poor Knights and White Island just to name a few.

We have wreck diving, food gathering, cave diving, ice diving, reef dives and so on.

We also have fantastic marine reserves and all these are mostly within recreational diving depths of 30m and more often within 15m depth.

Recently we purchased our own well equipped dive boat which is a Nelson built Osprey 590.

Due to diminishing membership and changing lifestyles we have now merged with the Dawnbreakers Fishing Club and we continue to offer diving events.

Recently we had a try-dive where any members who wanted to have a go at scuba diving were shown the basics at the Richmond Aquatic centre.

Soon we will be following this up with an open water try dive at Cable Bay. Together we have monthly social days with guest speakers and members can come together to share diving and fishing stories, enter competitions, win prizes and have a great time.

These social days are a great opportunity to have a chat with the divers if you are keen to have a go yourself under strict and well trained supervision. Find more info on www.dawnbreakers. co.nz

Super Saloon driver Ian Burson was a class above the competition in winning the New Zealand Super Saloon Grand Prix at Wellington Speedway on the weekend.

After a couple of flat tyres ruined his New Zealand title chances the week earlier, he showed that he is the quickest saloon driver on clay at the moment. He will be at short odds to back up his success at the South Island title in February and is currently leading the Vertex Super cup series.

Keightley Teece successfully defended his South Island Stock car title in Blenheim, a come-from-the-back effort in the final heat to snatch the win when the points leader Michael Paynter was taken out in the
