Half marathon a heart stopper Andrew Board Craig Vercoe expected to get his heart pumping during the Nelson Half Marathon last week – he didn’t expect to get someone else’s pumping before it. Craig was on his way to register for the half marathon at Saxton Field last Sunday when he saw one of the entrants in the walkers race, which started earlier, had collapsed. He rushed over and got to local woman Sharon McDonald at the same time as a St John medic. Sharon had had a heart attack, so Craig started to

perform CPR while the medic went to fetch a nearby defibrillator. After six minutes of CPR and at least two shocks of the defibrillator, Sharon’s pulse finally returned just as an ambulance arrived. Sharon was loaded into the ambulance and Craig was left standing there shocked when he wife asked him if he still wanted to compete. “Well, it’s what we came for,” he told her. Craig raced to the start line with just minutes to spare before taking off and completing

the race. He says it was a good decision. “It just gave me a chance to take my mind of it and focus on something else. I was really shaken up. As much as the training [for CPR] tries to teach you what it will be like, it’s totally different.” For Sharon, the last thing she remembers that day was driving to the half marathon and feeling “really excited”. “I’ve been a member of Athletics Nelson for years but hadn’t done a big race for a few years because I was looking after my husband. I did a few 5km walks leading up to it and felt great. My times were getting better so I was looking forward to the challenge.” It was only a few hundred metres into the race when she collapsed. She’s been told since that while being flown to Wellington Hospital she had two more heart at-

tacks and woke up to see her Melbourne-based son at her bedside. “I thought it was a dream because my stepson was there too.” When she did come around she was told what had happened and that a man had saved her life. “I have to meet this man,” she told her son. Late last week Sharon, who lost her husband to a heart attack in February, was transferred to Nelson Hospital where she spent another few days recovering. Her son Raymond had been in touch with Craig earlier in the week to thank him and update him on his mother’s condition. “I went in to meet Sharon on Saturday at hospital and it was really weird,” says Craig. “I had never seen her before in my life so the only image I had of her was unconscious and being loaded into an ambulance. To see her awake and talking was strange.”

Sharon says she felt an instant connection with Craig. “It is very spiritual and I feel like we have this connection.” Craig says the big lesson he got from the experience is how important doing a first aid course is. “One thing I’m quite proud of myself for is that I didn’t hesitate, I just got right in there. If I hadn’t done the first aid and just stood there unsure of what to do, I would have really hated myself. “You never know when you’re going to come across something like this, it could be one of your family members. I think a first aid course is a social responsibility and courses should be free.” On that point, Sharon couldn’t agree more. She says she will be forever grateful to Craig. “I just can’t thank him enough.” She also wanted to thank her fellow parishioners at Annesbrook Church for praying for her.

But it’s getting better – there are a tonne of birds and we recently found eels in here.” But, right now, she wouldn’t let her three children paddle in it. The situation came to the attention of councillor Matt Lawrey who says the council is next week implementing a hotline for people to make reports about polluting around the re-

gion. The reporting system is being brought in after the conservation group, Friends of the Maitai, suggested it. The stream’s pollution comes from different sources – there is forestry, quarries, landfills, urban residential and industrial uses, all in the small catchment. The stream also has low flows, which means that pollutants are not readily flushed away and can be found in high concentrations. But Matt says there had been

work by many locals and schools to help clean up the stream and it has paid off. “But it’s disappointing when people are doing that but then there are a few individuals who, when no one is looking, just use it as a tip.” He says sometimes people see things happening and don’t want to get involved and report it. “Really, all it takes is a call to the council. They will take it seriously. It will get logged and it will get looked at.”

Christmas comes early for celebration Nelson City Council is flipping the tables on the Mayor’s Christmas Dinner, changing it to Nelson’s Christmas Celebration and moving it back a few days. The festive feast will be held at the Trafalgar Centre on Thursday, December 21, to secure the services of top Nelson chef, Steven Coyne from Harbour Light Bistro. The event is still for older people and everyone can rest assured all the Christmas favourites will still be on menu, as well as lots of fun and entertainment. “We wanted to preserve the tradition of doing something to mark the festive season with our seniors, but we also listened to feedback from the community and took note of a decline in people attending the Christmas Day event over recent years,” says mayor Rachel Reese.

Café scratches the bagel itch Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

They may be called ugly but they are certainly one of the best bagels you’ll find in Nelson. Best Ugly Bagels has landed at Red Art Gallery and Café thanks to bagel-loving owners, Antony and Suzi Stevens. The Montreal-style bagels hail from celebrity chef Al Brown’s bagel business in Auckland and are “not your average bagel,” according to Antony. They are punched, hand rolled, boiled in honey water, then cooked in a stone oven that is run on Manuka hardwood. “When I first had my Best Ugly, I was blown away,” says Antony. “Chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside – that’s the beautiful thing about these.” The former Aucklander and Seven Sharp producer moved to Nelson with his family earlier this year for a change of pace, taking over the popular gallery and café. And although he loves Nelson, he admits that he’d been missing chowing down on a decent bagel. “Everyone loves a bagel, and

Photo: Charles Anderson. we’ve always seen a niche for that here – even before we took over the business. A full bagel menu wasn’t being done in Nelson.” The menu consists of a variety of bagels, and while they are baked in Auckland, they have added a “Nelson twist” on the toppings. “We’ve tried to keep all the produce as close to Nelson as possible, with many of them being award-winning” says Antony. These include Pic’s peanut butter, Moutere Fruits rasp-

berry jam, Mountain Valley manuka honey, Chocoyo hazelnut spread and Marlborough Sounds King Salmon. Antony says they have been “pleasantly surprised” at the response since launching the bagels last Tuesday. “One of the most pleasing things is how many people in Nelson actually know about Best Ugly Bagels. They have been so well received and the trays always come back empty - so the hunch was right. “And the great thing about a bagel is that you can have

one at 8am in the morning or 4pm in the afternoon. They can be sweet, or they can be savory – for a little bagel they are very versatile thing.” Antony says they are serving bagels from 8am and, paired with a coffee, they make a good breakfast on-the-go, and they are also looking at setting up an advance text ordering system. “I see a real opportunity coming from this, and I think it will keep evolving,” says Antony. “I think we’ve only just scratched the surface.”

Lily Barton’s friends all think it’s pretty cool that she has an insulin pump. They are so used to it now that it’s just a part of life. But sometimes people still stare when Lily has to administer insulin which goes through a tube in her stomach and then into her pancreas. “I got bored, so now I do a speech at assembly to tell everyone about it,” Lily says. That speech happening at Hampden St School today as part of “Wear Blue Day” - a fund-raising event during November Diabetes Awareness month to increase the awareness and impact of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, and raise funds for Nelson Youth Branch of Diabetes New Zealand. “Diabetes is the fastest growing health crisis faced both globally and in New Zealand - 250-300 young people are diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes every year,” says Heather Bates, whose six-year-old son Harry was diagnosed when he was three. “It’s definitely manageable but a lot of variables are involved,” she says. With 40 new people diagnosed every day, Type 2 diabetes is

Photo: Supplied. increasing at an alarming rate and affects large numbers of school-aged children who will have parents living with either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. “Hampden Street School has four Type 1 diabetic children on their roll,” Heather says. “Very hard working and caring teacher aides support these four children with their blood glucose management and insulin injections, throughout their day at school. “ A person with Type 1 diabetes can have their blood glucose tested seven to eight times a day with multiple insulin doses a day, at meal times. Even more monitoring is needed during sickness or sporting activities. “It’s a 24/7 job being a Type 1 diabetic,” says Heather.

Lily’s mum Jess says she first noticed her daughter wasn’t well when she was three years old. She started drinking lots of water and going to the bathroom regularly. Lily also got very moody. The danger, she says, is that doctors will sometimes misdiagnose. “Type one can go into a coma within 3 weeks if symptoms are not picked up and they get sent away, thinking it’s a cold or bladder infection.” The parents and the students hope that by raising awareness they can help others see the signs before it’s too late. But with all the things to manage Jess says it doesn’t stop Lily from doing what she loves - tap dancing twice a week, dance competitions and karate.

Our goal is to ensure you get the right gear for your needs

BEforE you hit thE watEr When heading out kayaking, it’s worth thinking about the gear you use or take with you. Here’s a quick rundown on some of the basic items to take when heading out on the water. • Whenever you are on the water you should always wear a PFD (a kayak specific lifejacket). You need to ensure the PFD fits well and is suited to the type of kayaking you are doing.

Business whizz downs tools Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

When 17-year-old Joe Taylor left school last month to become a plumbing apprentice, he didn’t expect to hear that he’d topped the country in one of his school exams. The former Nayland College student’s mark of 94 per cent in the Young Enterprise exam, which he sat earlier in the year, was the best in the country out of 3500 candidates. Joe says he’s never hugely been into the academic stuff – but now he’s dropped the plumbing tools and is setting his sights on a business degree.

He received the news at the Young Enterprise Scheme Regional Awards on 27 October and will go on to receive a Massey Business School Young Entrepreneur Scholar Award at a ceremony on 6 December. With it, he gets a cash prize of $1000 as well as a $3000 scholarship to the Massey Business School in Wellington, which he is “definitely” planning to use. “It was a surreal feeling,” says Joe. “I would have been happy with 50 percent, but when I was told I got 94 per cent, I was like ‘no way, I wouldn’t get that’.” He says that when he finished the three-hour exam, he didn’t even know if he had

“done it right”. “I guess I’m just better with subjects like business and English. I just write my way through stuff, so as soon as I got into the flow of writing, it was pretty easy and I kept going.” The Young Enterprise Scheme is an experiential programme where students set up and run a real business, with an exam at the end that critiques another product. Joe’s product was all natural, pre-workout product – which is fitting, given that he’s not just a business whizz, but a natural on the rugby field, too. Joe moved to Nelson from the West Coast last year to

play rugby and he is currently training with the Tasman men’s 7’s team. He has also played for the Tasman under-18s, the Marist 7’s team, Waimea Combined and the Nelson College first XV before moving to Nayland College. Joe says he’ll have a “gap year” in 2018 to play rugby and earn some money, and then head up to Wellington the following year to start his business degree and continue with the sport. This is Nayland College’s third time in nine years to get the top scholar in this particular exam, and this year all 19 students in the class passed, with four getting excellences.

• Choose suitable clothing. Avoid cotton and instead choose fabrics like polyester, merino or neoprene. Include spare clothing if you expect to be out for a while. • Carry a way to communicate. A cell phone in a waterproof case can be an inexpensive way to do this, provided there is reception. Carry your phone in your PFD pocket, then it is always with you. • A whistle is a cheap way to make a lot of noise. Attach one to your PFD if you do not already have one. • Consider how visible you are. Kayaks sit low in the water and can be tricky to see. Wearing a bright hat, choosing a paddle with bright blades, wearing a top with bright sleeves or adding a flag to your kayak can increase your visibility. If you are paddling in a busy area, then being easy to spot is a good thing. • If you are heading out for a longer paddle, consider carrying some extra gear. This could be spare clothing or additional food & water. • Lastly, what would you do if you broke your paddle? Depending on where you paddle, carrying a 2-piece paddle as a spare can be a wise choice. This is intended to be an overview rather than an extensive list. For certain trips it would be wise to carry additional items with you. If you would like to know more about this, or any other kayak gear, then pop in and see us for some informative advice.

The 'Grand Garage Sale and Book Fair' is on this Saturday from 9am - 1pm at the centre, which is on Trafalgar St. Communications assistant Laura Findlay says it will be the second time they have run a garage sale as a fundraising event. "This is a pivotal fundraiser for us. The money raised will contribute to the upkeep of our wonderful drop-in centre, which includes our private garden, women's library, kitchen space and other facilities that are free for all women in Nelson to use." The centre is still welcoming good quality goods for the sale - including books, clothing, jewellery, sports goods, toys and household goods.

Charity house goes on the market Brittany Spencer Potential buyers were flying through the door for the first open day of the Mitre 10 MEGA Helicopter House Build on Saturday. The Mitre 10 MEGA carpark site has seen up to 20 tradies onsite volunteering at one time, an endless supply of materials, a lot of late nights and a healthy dose of house building stress. But, after just six and a half weeks, it is done. The team at Mitre 10 MEGA and New Zealand Certified Builders have built a beautiful, top spec, three bedroom home to be auctioned off to raise funds for the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter Endowment Trust. “It’s done, we did it,” says Mitre 10 MEGA project manager Murray Leaning. “I can’t believe it, seven weeks ago we had paint marks on the ground and nothing else, but now look at it, it looks amazing.” However, Murray says finishing the build is a bittersweet experience. “We’ve poured our heart and souls into this house, the whole lot of us, and it’s going to be really sad to see it go.” The 149m2 open plan home features three bedrooms, one bathroom, two toilets, an ensuite, walk-in wardrobe, study, living room, kitchen, and a separate laundry. The house can be bought as a stand-alone or in a package deal with a plot of land in Redwood Valley. Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter Trust general manager Paula Muddle says she is absolutely amazed by the number of keen buyers and supporters who came to the open home. “The first person who came in was a potential buyer, he just came on in and said, ‘yeah, I’d heard about it and I’ve got a potential section in town’, and I was going ‘where have you come from?’ And we’ve had a constant stream of people who are genuinely interested in buying the house, it’s great.” Open days will be held each weekend until the house is sold at a live onsite auction on December 9, at 12pm.

Three teams from Nelson spent their weekend tackling identify theft as part of the national Future Problem Solving competitions in Auckland, with one of them coming home victorious. Future Problem Solving (FPS) is part of an international educational programme, available as an optional subject within schools, that develops creative, critical and caring thinking skills in students. Students grapple with global and community issues, identifying underlying problems and creating positive solutions to those issues. At the national competition teams were given a futurefocused scenario where biometric identify theft was rife. They then had a limited time in which to identify the problems, choose the best

“Oh my gosh, it’s just so incredibly amazing,” says captain Ollie Taylor. “The pride I have to represent New Zealand in something like this is truly … I’m just lost for words.” Teacher Sarah Watts says she was so proud of them and that seeing their faces when they were announced the winners was such a highlight. “Those boys worked really

hard, were really committed, and were aware of the amount of work required to win.” Sarah has been teaching FPS for eight years and, in that time, she has taken 11 teams plus two individuals to the international competitions. At the award ceremony on Sunday her outstanding contribution was also recognised with Sarah receiving the supreme award for excellence in FPS teaching. “It was such a wonderful honour and a surprise, a truly special moment,” she says. The international competition is to be held at the University of WisconsinLa Crosse in June next year where the boys will be competing against students from Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Portugal, Singapore, Turkey, United Kingdom, and the United States.

Cattle on the Grampians To help reduce the fire risk over summer, Council is trialling the use of cattle grazing on the Grampians. Previously sheep were used for many years and Council hopes the cattle will prove as effective. If you come across cattle on the track please: • Approach them calmly and they will likely move away as you get closer • Talk to them – cattle are reassured by being spoken to in a calm voice • Keep your dog under control, preferably on a lead, until you have passed the cattle If you have reason to be concerned about any of the cattle you see while you are enjoying the Grampians, please let Council know by calling 546 0200.

Trafalgar Park turf replacement approved Nelson City Council has decided to bring forward expenditure to replace the turf at Trafalgar Park, following a recent assessment by the New Zealand Turf Institute. The turf at Trafalgar Park was installed in 2010, with an expected life of 5 – 7 years. The turf has been regularly assessed, and in April 2017 Council received independent advice that the turf should last until the end of 2018, with appropriate maintenance. During the 2017 sports season, heavy rainfall events in September and early October indicated issues with drainage through the turf at Trafalgar Park. Organic matter buildup from root growth was preventing water from entering the drainage system. The New Zealand Turf Institute was commissioned to reassess the state of the turf, and it was determined that it had deteriorated faster than anticipated, and would need to be replaced to cater for national and international sporting events in the future. Council approved bringing forward capital expenditure by one year to undertake the replacement, which will begin in early January, following a series of scheduled sports and arts/ cultural events. The work will take a minimum of 20 weeks to complete, so some sporting codes, and Opera in the Park, will be affected. Council officers will work with the various organisations to ensure suitable venues are available.

Chair of the Sports and Recreation Committee Tim Skinner was pleased with how quickly a decision could be made to minimise the impact on sporting codes. “It’s pleasing to see how quick and nimble Council has been to make this decision to replace the turf at Trafalgar Park. "The replacement work is only being brought forward by 8 or 9 months and it is prudent that we sought independent advice to ensure our asset was managed appropriately." Mayor Rachel Reese reinforced the Council’s thanks to sports code and event organisers in accommodating the maintenance works. “Trafalgar Park is a sought-after venue for its size and location where both locals and visitors enjoy entertainment in the heart of the city. Maintaining our premier sports ground to an international standard allows us to attract top sports events that provide our city with a global audience, and opportunities to showcase the Nelson Tasman region. "Once the maintenance work is complete the park will also continue to be the venue where we see many of the best of local talent perform on their pathway to national and international success.”

Mayor Rachel Reese says “We wanted to preserve the tradition of doing something to mark the festive season with our seniors but we also listened to feedback from the community and took note of a decline in people attending the Christmas Day event over recent years. “The new approach to the Christmas Celebration means we can introduce some new elements to the day, it allows people to share Christmas cheer with friends old and new and of course enjoy a delicious meal, courtesy of one of the top chefs in Nelson,” Mayor Reese says. The event is still for older people and everyone can rest assured all the Christmas favourites will still be on menu, as well as lots of fun and entertainment as always. Mr Coyne has welcomed the opportunity to get involved. “This is a great Nelson tradition. I’m delighted to be part of it and I look forward to giving people a meal to remember.” Katrina Kidson has again pledged her time to lead the

team of volunteers and generous support from sponsors has been pouring in. Ms Kidson says “I’m very happy to help with the event again, it’s great to be able to support my community this way.” If anyone wishes to make a financial contribution towards some small gifts to be given out on the day, please contact Nelson City Council on 03 546 0200. Mayor Reese says “A fabulous venue, a delicious meal, and plenty of entertainment, will make this a Christmas Celebration to remember.” Tickets will be on sale from 1 December at the Council office in Trafalgar Street and at the Stoke Library.

Draft Regional Pest Management Plan open for consultation Pest animals and pest plants can have an impact on our productive sector and natural ecosystems, and affect the habitat of native birds, animals and insects. We are fortunate in Nelson Tasman to have many committed groups involved in managing environmental pests. These range from smaller community groups working along waterways and estuary margins to those involved with innovative projects such as the Brook Sanctuary, Nelson Nature, Project Janszoon, Project Maitai/Mahitahi and Project Mohua, the work undertaken by the Department of Conservation staff and their contractors on public land, and groups such as Friends of Flora, Friends of the Maitai, Marsden Valley Trapping Group, Friends of Rotoiti and Friends of Cobb and many more. The draft Regional Pest Management Plan is designed to support the work of these individuals, organisations, groups and agencies. The Regional Pest Management Plan involves Nelson City and Tasman District Councils working together to provide better outcomes. The focus of the draft plan is on high-risk pests that are in the early stages of infestation as these make best use of limited resources. In most situations, the occupier is responsible for

managing pests on their property. One of the changes in this draft plan is that Council staff will formally take responsibility for controlling two categories of pests (Exclusion Pests and Eradication Pests) as this is the most efficient way to deal with them.

Have your say The plan and submission forms are online at tasman. govt.nz/feedback or nelson.govt.nz/consultations or at any Tasman District Council or Nelson City Council Service Centre or library. Submissions close Wednesday 15 December 2017.

GARDEN ART EXPO: Organiser Peter Owen checks out the aptly named Balls on Plinth piece by Ross Woodhouse exhibited at the Garden Art Expo over the weekend. With 39 artworks on display, there was even more of a reason to wander through the gardens at Eyebright. The weekendlong event is in its third year and Peter says it really showcases local talent. “We get some absolute stunners and we’re tapping into all the creativity out there, so there’s always unique and quirky pieces.” A panel of judges was in charge of picking the top three pieces, meanwhile, members of the public voted for the people’s choice award. Nigel Phillips took out top place with his ‘Stop. Take a break’ piece, followed by ‘Drift Link’ by Peter Sven Burger, and Anette Knight’s ‘Dickie Bird’. Nigel Phillips also took out the people’s choice category with ‘They Live at the Bottom of the Garden’ but it was ‘Balls on Plinth’ by Ross Woodhouse that took out the highest bid of $475 at the silent auction.

Squance too strong at tri Peter Gibbs It was a perfect mother and son day for the Squance family in the Nelson Triathlon Club's sprint triathlon at Rabbit Island on Sunday, as 19-year-old Hayden raced to a six-minute victory over some strong opposition, while Carolyn was the first woman home, taking out the honours in the F50-59 age group in the process. A cold, cloudy morning kept the numbers down, but the sun came out just as the event started with a 750m swim. The younger Squance left the water with a two-minute lead over Marlborough triathlete Mark Grammer, followed closely by Jon Linyard, Matt Newberry and Josh Barber. Internationally, sprint triathlons for age groupers are now draft-legal on the bike, allowing competitors to ride in bunches and making for an exciting bike ride. With next year's world championships on the Gold Coast, many Nelson competitors are vying for spots in the national team and the

With a new transition setup and run course in preparation for the national school

Tasman Thunder power through teams brawl Jody Scott

Speedway Reporter editorial@nelsonweekly.co.nz

The Tasman Thunder made light work in winning the Nelson Automotive Solutions/Jacks Tyres Stock car teams brawl at Milestone Homes Top of the South speedway on Saturday. Picking up an impressive 500 points, the Thunder dominated the event, securing its third title in a row. Visiting teams from around the mainland fronted to do battle over a round-robin format. The Southern Spartans from Invercargill haven’t raced here since the 1990s but were keen to gain valuable experience rebuilding their ranks, while regular visitors the Canterbury Crushers and Greymouth Grizzlies were keen to test themselves against the Thunder who rank as the top Southern team. The teams will battle again in Christchurch next week with the Tasman Thunder a firm favourite to get their hands on the Mainland trophy which has eluded them in past seasons. After the Crushers beat the Spartans first up, the Thunder came out against the Grizzlies and controlled the race from the start, getting all four cars across the line with new driver Dylan

lead lap for the Spartans but his teammates were unable to slow down Paynter who took the win. In the super saloons, Ian Burson returned to the track in his brand-new car. While he couldn’t catch Rob Flood in the first heat, a set-up change got him dialled in on heat two for an easy victory. The 15-lap feature was pegged as a handicap race with the driver with the most points off the back. Burson started at the back and it took all of his experience to get the dramatic win in the final lap of the race. He was kept at bay by a solid drive by Mark Carey, leaving him a handful of laps to still catch and pass leader Dave Manera. The task made easier when Manera got loose in the dying

Clarke winning the race. The Spartans then beat the Grizzlies before the Thunder came up against the Crushers. It was a steel-bending race with major damage to several cars and a few drivers feeling the effects of some brutal hits. The Thunder were ruthless with only one Crusher car making the finish line. Craig Tatnell ended his meeting for the Thunder after a big hit at the end of the race, but solid points meant they were almost uncatchable before their final race. The Thunder and Spartans clashed in their final heat with Thunder team captain Michael Paynter leading the charge. Knight was able to stay on the

laps and the pressure from Burson told in the final lap. Going under Manera as he overshot the final corner to win by half a car length. It was a great race from the Super saloons. The Street Stocks' numbers were boosted with some Blenheim cars while Steve Soper returned to the track with a win in the final race after finishing his representative rugby season with the West Coast. The Super Stocks ran their Dave Scott Memorial trophy, with a 15-lap feature race. Alex Bright was going great guns in his new car, winning both heats to start off pole. He lead the final until the last few laps when he was slowed and blocked by Canterbury’s Harley Robb who

put his team mate Jacob Brownlees into the lead with a lap to go. As they say in stock car racing, 'it’s never over til the chequered flag drops'. It was perfectly timed that none of the locals were able to react to stop Brownlees taking out the win. The Brett Lusty memorial was up for grabs for the Side Cars. It was a hard start for Stuart Anderson and Shaun Harris. The bike tipped sending both drivers skyward. They managed to walk away but were left very sore and retired for the meeting. Aidie Drake and Kieran Satherley continued their winning run, picking up the trophy, they are the ones to beat again this year. The Sprint Cars return this week with the first of two “War of the Wings” meetings. Twenty-plus cars will contest the series with the best of the South Island here in attendance. The first round was held last weekend with Alicia MacLauchlan finishing 10th in the feature while Connor Rangi had a huge moral boost, finishing 2nd in the feature with some impressive racing over the evening. The rollover in the first race here a few weeks ago was a hard way to start the season, but that will be in the past now as he looks to continue the form last week at his home track here in Nelson.

Waimea and Motueka clean up at 7s Waimea Old Boys and Motueka High School reigned supreme in the sevenman code over the weekend. Waimea backed up its win in the Picton Sevens last weekend to add the Turf Hotel Motueka Sevens Tournament trophy to its haul. After breezing past Renwick and Stoke earlier in the day, Waimea thrashed Nelson 40-5 in the mens final. Nelson had earlier beaten Marist and Kahurangi to reach the final. In the womens competition, the talented Motueka High School side also claimed its second sevens crown in two weeks, beating Waimea Old Boys 31-5 in the final.

Ingham's 148 leads the way for WTTU Andrew Board Waimea Toi Toi United got back in cricket's winning circle on Saturday, beating Wanderers at Brightwater. Batting first, Waimea made an impressive 248, on the back of a huge 148 from opener Tom Ingham, who was eventually run out just two short of what

would have been another big milestone. In reply, Wanderers had the run rate but lost too many wickets as it was all out in the 34th over for 201. Once again, Tom Cross was Wanderers top scorer, smashing 75 off just 50 balls before he was bowled by Jon Routhan. In Victory Square, Stoke/Nayland battled to 167 before they

were bowled out in the 45th over. In reply Wakatu could only manage 107 before they were bowled out. Aaron Dron was the star for Wakatu, picking up four wickets with the ball and top scoring with 52 with the bat. At the Botanics, Nelson College continued its impressive start to the season. Batting first,

ACOB was only able to put on 131 before being bowled out. In reply Nelson College cruised to the win, losing just four wickets as they reached the total in the 37th over. Once again David Zohrab was top scorer, with 50 not out. Stoke/Nayland lead the Car Company Nelson Cricket senior standings.

SporTS FOOTBALL: It was heartbreak in the capital for Tasman United as it conceded an injury-time goal to lose to Team Wellington on Sunday. Tasman were chasing for much of the national football league game after the hosts scored an early goal. But the injection of Paul Ifill from the bench helped Tasman, as he scored in the 56th minute to level the scores. Heading into injury time the momentum seemed to be with the visitors, particularly when Team Wellington were down to 10 men after a red card in the 88th minute. But it was Wellington that made the most of the five minutes of injury time, scoring the winner three minutes in. The loss is Tasman's first this season after it won it first two games and drew in Nelson last week. Tasman now sit fourth in the ISPS Handa Premiership and next play Waitakere United at Trafalgar Park this Saturday. Kick off is at 1pm. TENNIS: Healthy entries into the primary and intermediate tournaments provided lots of action on court, spurred on by beautiful spring weather. The first day of play saw the primary girls and boys challenge each other for the trophy and the right to represent the region in Timaru at the end of November. Finn Brown (Henley School) was a deserved winner of the boy’s trophy, taking the title without conceding a single game. Victory School's Sarah Innes-Walker won a tight final against Lucy Mitchell. The intermediate boy’s main draw was won by Mapua's Harry Pugh. In the girl's final Waimea Intermediate’s Tina Waine won a close match over schoolmate Maia Kininmonth.

Sea swimmers start series The top two swimmers from last year's Port Nelson Sea Swim Series went head-tohead in this season's opening race from the Nelson Yacht Club on Thursday night. It was Luke Kelly's turn, as he recorded a time of 8 minutes 38 seconds for a three-second win over last year's series winner Hayden Squance. Things didn't look promising earlier in the day with a lot of debris in the harbour and fairly choppy seas, but by 6pm the outgoing tide had largely cleared the rubbish away, the wind had dropped and the sea was calm for the 167 swimmers who turned out. Although the older age groups are growing, it was also noticeable that young swimmers from two of the region's squads were out in force with their coaches, preparing for the national open water swims to come later in the season. Under-16 competitors Bendi Kepess (9min 15sec) and Josh Sheridan (9min 17sec) took third and fourth spots, ahead of Matai McGuinniety (9min

Sierra Thomas stepped up for her first win in the women's section, finishing in 9min 21sec, ahead of Sophie Alexander (9min 25sec). Austen Dean was eighth in 9min 30sec, ahead of the leading older swimmer, Terry Bone (9min 37sec), first in M4049, and Hamish Neill (9min 48sec), M50-59 winner. Andrew Martin (9min 51sec) was the next M50-59 swim-

mer ashore, followed in that age group by Denis Cooper (10min 18sec). Matthew Hansen won M3039, finishing in 20th place in 10min 19sec. In other age groups, Christina Harris took F50-59 in 10min 28sec, ahead of Kerry Mathieson (10min 45sec). Malcolm Anderson (10min 42sec) won M60-69 in his first outing in this age group, Derek Eaton (11min 49sec) continued his dominance in M7079 and Ruth Thomas (11min 57sec) and Renee Hunt (12min 6sec) won their respective F3039 and F40-49 age groups. Maggy Johnston (12min 37sec) continued her form of last summer, winning F60-69. The short race over 400m turned into a thriller, with Yegor Jones and Mark Smale going stroke-for-stroke and recording the same time of 6min 2sec. They were followed by Mia Langley (6min 37sec) and Nick Lovell (6min 39sec). Lauren Penney was first in the open women's section, finishing eighth in 7min 13sec.

Match your bait to the time of year. Early season should be squid as these are in the bay and are a popular food source. Later on it might be mackerel or pilchard. Check stomach contents of caught fish for an indication of what’s being eaten but also be prepared to change or alternate if nothings being taken.
