Concert needs your support It’s all systems go for this Saturday’s Forest Fire Concert.

It promises to be a great afternoon of entertainment at the A & P Showgrounds in Richmond, beginning at 1pm and going through until about 6pm.

Headline act The Waratahs will

be supported by the Nelson Jazz Club Big Band, local duos Dust and Gold, and BoKay, and covers band 995.

Responders and volunteers get in free to the concert with their immediate family, which includes children and partners only.

The family-friendly event also includes a children’s area.

There is a small general public charge of $10 for adults and $5 for kids under 15. In the interests of keeping things simple it’s a gate charge and cash only. Families are welcome to bring a chilly bin and

seats.

Organisers have asked everyone involved to spread the word and make sure as many people as possible turn up. There is free parking available at the town end of the showgrounds entrance.

It’s hoped one of the helicopters

involved in fighting the fire will be on display at the showgrounds during the afternoon.

Local businesses have got behind a silent auction that is being held as part of the concert, with some

Wakefield Apple Fair growth continues Colin Williscroft Reporter

colin@waimeaweekly.co.nz

This Sunday’s Wakefield Apple Fair promises to be the biggest and best yet, with organisers expecting to better last year’s crowd of 4000 people.

The event, now into its sixth year, started small with about 500 people coming along, organising committee member Katrina Richards says.

One of the focuses of this weekend’s fair will be the history of apple trees in New Zealand, with it being 200 years since missionary Samuel Marsden brought fruit trees intothe country. There will be a special display at the fair, tracing events concerning apples in New Zealand over those 200 years. The Nelson/ Tasman area has had a connection with apples right from the time of early European settlers, with trees being brought into the area onboard some of the early ships.

Last year’s fair featured about 120 different types of apples for tasting, including plenty of old-fashioned varieties, Katrina says, and although there will not be quite that number

this time there will still be a huge selection to try out.

Apple pressing will play a big part at the fair. There will be a hydraulic press set up to juice the seven bins of apples donated by Hoddys Orchard. People will be able to buy a bladder and fill it with some of that juice.

Those who want to juice their own apples will be able to bring their fruit along and press it themselves in one of the vintage presses that will be available on-site.

Food stalls at the event have been asked to, where possible, give their offerings an apple theme, with food available set to include hot dogs made with apples, while baking will include favourites like apple turnovers and Shrewsbury biscuits using apples rather than berries.

Entertainment will be spread across three stages and will include the Plinkers ukelele orchestra, a brass band, Ragged Crows Morris Dancers, Kahurangi Irish Dance School, Tasman Line Dancers, and musicians Brian Shone, Adrian King and Shirely Lethborg.

For the kids there will a puppet theatre and story telling,

along with other children’s activities and games, pony rides and face painting.

New this year - and not just for kids - is a quiz about apples, which has already been printed in the local Wakefield newsletter.

The local branch of the New Zealand Tree Crops Association will be selling fruit and apple trees. The trees will feature heritage varieties that produce apples with names like black prince and scarlet pimpernel.

Pacific Islanders play a big role on apple orchards in the area and they have been invited to come along and join in.

With Anzac Day on the horizon, Nelson RSA will also be on-site for a poppy drive.

There will be plenty of car parking available, with local Lions and Motueka cadets acting as parking marshals, with parking provided for the elderly closer to the gates.

The Wakefield Apple Fair will be at Willow Bank Historic Village from 11.30am to 3.30pm on Sunday, with entry being a gold coin donation.

Eftpos will be available but no dogs or smoking is permitted, and it’s an alcohol-free event.

Gumboots on for mental health Matt McCrorie The first New Zealand Gumboot day took place on Friday, April 5, with people around the country putting on their gumboots for the day, including schools around the region.

Several schools took part in the national event, including Waimea Intermediate, Hope School, and Appleby school, with kids turning up in their gumboots and donating money for the mental health charity I AM HOPE. Teacher Rosanne Oughton from Waimea Intermediate said that “it was a great way to get kids involved, the kids in my class made posters and put them up around the school in the weeks leading up to help raise awareness.”

Andrew Riccardi, a teacher at Waimea College who liaised with other schools around the area to help them organise the event, said that “several schools within our Kahui Ako (a collection of 12 local schools with common vi-

sions) took part in this day.

A big congratulations goes out to all who took part in this fantastic day.”

Nationally, the event was organised by Mike King and his mental health charity I AM HOPE. Mike called on New Zealanders to wear gumboots to support kids in need, and for people throughout the country to wear gumboots to work or school last Friday for a gold coin donation. He said that it was a positive way for people to join the conversation about mental health, while raising money to provide free counselling for kids in need.

“For many, having depression or anxiety can feel like walking through the mud every day. By wearing gumboots and spending a day walking in someone else’s shoes, New Zealanders can show people who are struggling that they’re not alone, and that it’s important to talk about the things they’re dealing with internally” Mike says.

Crashes block Waimea roads Seven people were injured after a three-car crash on Whakatu drive between Nelson and Richmond last week.

Ambulances, police, and fire services were on the scene after 4pm on Friday afternoon, with several people needing the help of Fire and Emergency to be removed from their vehicles.

Two people sustained serious injuries, while the other five people involved came away with only minor inju-

ries. The two with serious injuries were taken to Nelson Hospital and discharged on Sunday.

The crash blocked the lane heading into Richmond and wasn’t cleared until around 6pm.

There were two crashes on the Appleby Highway on Monday.

There was a two-car collision between Bartlett Road and Swamp Road at 4.05pm, a police spokesperson has

said.

The entire road was blocked off, and diversions were in place through McShane Road and Lansdowne Road.

Powerlines were down at the scene as a result of the crash, and had to be replaced, causing further delays until later in the evening.

New hospice facility is now open Matt McCrorie Reporter

matt@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Residents of the Waimea area are set to benefit from the opening of a new hospice on Suffolk Road, Stoke.

The location of the new facility will work well for Tasman residents, being closer to Richmond in order to cater easily for those in the area.

“We’re about the same distance from the hospital as we were before, but now we’re a little bit more central in terms of being inbetween Nelson and Richmond,” Nelson Tasman Hospice chief executive Frans Dellebeke says.

A dawn blessing last Tuesday by Archdeacon Harvey Ruru saw the new hospice officially opened, with staff moving in last Friday.

Patients are set to move in on Thursday, April 11.

The new building, at 331 Suffolk Rd, Stoke, has been in the works for the last four year, since the hospice, currently located on Manuka Street, found out that its lease would be ending, as the Manuka Street Hospital would be expanding.

The hospice receives 65 per cent of its operational funding from

Back row, Frans Dellebeke, Jen Sims (obscured); Katrina Baker and Bruce Thomas; middle row, Mary Garner and Sandy Taverner; and front row, Rebecca Colley, Raeonie Ellery and Heather Lewis. Photo: Matt McCrorie the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board, leaving a $1 million shortfall each year.

This is currently covered by funds raised through hospice shops, other grants, various investments and other fund-raising activities.

There was no government funding available for the building project. The hospice itself provided $7.5 million towards the project, leaving $4 million to be raised.

The Nelson Tasman Hospice has

seen a 28 per cent increase in referrals over last four years, showing the need for a new purposebuilt facility.

As well as an increase of patients, the hospice has grown in terms of its training, tutoring 1600 people in palliative care last year alone.

The new building also features a purpose-built training centre.

The new building includes 10 bed units, consulting rooms, space for families to meet and spend time

together, and outdoor spaces.

A day therapy room will also be available, so that some specialised treatments can take place at the hospice rather than Nelson Hospital.

There is also a four-bedroom flat on site for families who live further out in the Tasman district “for people who live out rurally, as well as those families that live towards St Arnaud or Golden Bay, the flat is a place that they

can stay in and be close to their loved ones who are receiving care at the hospice,” Frans says.

This is the first time all the hospice staff will be based in the same building, having been spread throughout different buildings in the past.

The new building will operate as a base for hospice’s community outreach service, which includes nurses, as well as office and meeting space for doctors, nurses, health care assistants, physiotherapist, social workers, counsellors, chaplain, bereavement support co-ordinator and administration staff, as well as space for the 500 volunteers who give their time to support the hospice.

With the growing aging population across the Nelson and Tasman areas, Frans said the new purpose-built facility was much needed.

Frans and the entire team were blown away with the support from the community.

“Without the public support we wouldn’t be here. The community has been amazing. We have a facility we didn’t think we would ever have, thanks to the community. Contractors have donated their time and given us exceptional work, for a project like this to be under budget is unheard of.”

Poultry auction doubles in size The first time in its more than 130-year history the New Zealand Poultry and Pigeon Association will hold its national competition in the Waimea area in a couple of months - and a poultry auction in Richmond this weekend will raise valuable funds to help ensure the event is a success.

The Nelson Poultry and Pigeon Association, based at the Richmond A & P Showgrounds, is holding an auction on Sunday at the showgrounds as a fundraiser to go towards hosting the national event, which is expected to see more than 2000 birds from around the country judged in Hope on June 15 and 16.

There are 117 cage lots entered in this weekend’s auction. Most of the cages will contain two or three birds, so between 234 and 300 birds will be available to bid on.

Nelson Association spokeswoman Pam Buschl says a lot of what’s available at the auction are pure-bred heritage breeds, with everything from pekins to game birds to backyard fowls.

Sunday’s auction promises to be much bigger, with double the number of birds available.

Many cages will consist of a breeding trio - a rooster and a couple of hens - catering for people on lifestyle blocks who want the satisfaction

and enjoyment of supplying their own eggs.

The local association will take a commission on sales to raise money to host the national competition, which will cost about $12,000 to stage.

The auction will be a great place to come along and find out more about having your own birds, Pam says, and there will also be second-

hand equipment for sale.

Entry to the auction is free and anyone can come along and buy. Viewing of cages starts at 10.30am and, if you’re planning to buy, you will need to register when you arrive.

It would also be wise to bring along a box, Pam says, just in case your bid is successful and you need to take your purchases home.

WEDNESDAY 10 April 2019

Future growth scenarios identified Growth forecasts vary, but if the Nelson Tasman area continues to experience high growth it will need to find space for up to 12,000 extra homes over the next 30 years - that’s on top of the capacity already identified in Tasman District Council plans.

Along with more houses, more shops, offices and commercial services will be needed.

The Tasman District and Nelson City councils are working together on a future development strategy and, using the results of feedback on a strategy collected in January this year, the councils have developed three potential growth scenarios that they will be seeking further feedback on.

The scenarios are not mutually exclusive and it is expected the final strategy will incorporate a mix of options.

The three scenarios are: enabling housing choices, while avoiding areas that are likely to be subject to sea level rise; enabling housing choices while avoiding land of high productive value; and enabling housing choices while taking into account both these constraints.

Nelson mayor Rachel Reese says that she encourages everyone

to have their say on this second round of feedback. “The first round of feedback has helped us identify these scenarios. I’m keen now to hear what people think about these scenarios, and other ideas they may have.”

Tasman mayor Richard Kempthorne says, once finalised, the Nelson Tasman Future Development Strategy will affect everyone who chooses to make the region their home in the next 30 years.

“It’s really important that people let us know how they feel about the three scenarios, where they would prefer to see future homes located, and what type of housing they think is appropriate in those places.

“We think it’s particularly important that young people in the region have a voice in the process, so we’ll be providing information to the Tasman Youth Council, with a youth survey specifically for 12 to 24 year olds in Tasman to provide feedback.”

The TDC is running a series of drop-in sessions on the development strategy. For details check out last week’s issue of the Waimea Weekly or the TDC website.

Performance ‘subtle and layered’ Matt McCrorie The local round of the Sheilah Winn Shakespeare Festival took place last Saturday at Waimea College, with Garin College taking home one of the primary awards.

Year 13 student Megan Ritchie was selected to join the National

Shakespeare Schools Production course held in September this year in Wellington, joining 47 other students from around the country for a week of acting workshops and rehearsals, culminating in a public performance.

Wellington-based actor Dylan Hutton, who was on the judging panel and has previously trav-

elled to the Globe as part of the Young Shakespeare Company, said that Megan was selected because she “gave a subtle and layered performance in Richard III, that genuinely garnered empathy from the audience.

“She also showed good range throughout the day with different characters.”

Cruises raise funds for charity For the first time since 2017, Abel Tasman Sea Shuttle Cruises, in association with the Rotary Club of Motueka, is offering its vessel Crusader for cruises around D’Urville Island in aid of charity.

There will be four cruises on consecutive days this year over Queen’s Birthday weekend, Friday, May 31, and Saturday, Sunday and Monday, June 1-3.

The boat will leave from the Sealord Rescue Centre in Wakefield Quay at 9am and return at about 4.30pm.

Each cruise will stop for an hour at the D’Urville Island Wilderness Resort in Catherine Cove.

It will provide a time for passengers to have lunch, whether it’s a picnic lunch they have bought with them or soup and roll from the café.

There is also a short waterfall walk for those who wish to stretch their legs and take in some of the scenery that the resort offers. Tea, coffee and refreshments will be available to purchase on board.

The café at D’Urville Island Wilderness Resort is providing seafood chowder or soup and bread roll for $15 per person and this should be ordered at the time of booking (payable on the day).

Those on-board the cruises will

get to see some of the most scenic coastline in the Nelson region and experience an area they normally wouldn’t get the opportunity to visit. For many, the experience of going through French Pass will be memorable. Previous trips have also had visits by dolphins.

Tickets will be $125 each, limited to 100 per cruise and will be available from Motueka i-Site and Nelson iSite. Any cancellations will be notified on www.abeltasmanseashuttles.co.nz. If a sailing is cancelled because of weather conditions, it will be rescheduled or the ticket cost refunded.

All proceeds will be donated equally to the chosen charities, which are: Nelson Tasman Hospice Trust; Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter Trust; ROMAC (Rotary Oceania Medical Aid for Children); and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Nelson-Tasman.

From the previous excursions in 2016 and 2017 a total of $72,000 has been donated to charities.

Motueka Rotary thanked the generosity of Abel Tasman Sea Shuttle and the Keith Knapp family for their generosity in providing their vessel totally free of charge and the crew for giving their own time.

Colourful life captured on screen Colin Williscroft Reporter

colin@waimeaweekly.co.nz

The art career of Richmond artist Randall Froude will grace television screens in Australia later this week.

After that, it’s the rest of the world.

A film crew from Australian programme Colour in Your Life recently spent time with Randall at his home and studio on the corner of Talbot and Elizabeth streets, with the show scheduled to screen this Friday, April 12, before screening on television channels around the world, including Shine TV in New Zealand.

Now 89 years old, Randall’s career had its genesis at the end of World War II, when he went to the Elam School of Fine Arts in Auckland.

From there he went to work as a commercial artist for an advertising company. However, work in advertising and marketing soon became stifling, so he started painting in his own time.

Early success meant he could cut down his five-day week at the advertising to four days, then three and it wasn’t long before he decided to strike out on his own.

Although he has painted in 13 different countries around the world, Randall has worked in New Zealand all his life.

Randall Froude with one of his latest artworks, which would retail for around $24,000.

“I get a good feeling from the country. I love wild places. The bush, the mountains.”

He works in oils and has owned galleries and studio galleries in places including Tauranga, Auckland and Kimbell, near Fairlie.

He spent 23 years in Kimbell, before moving to Richmond near the end of 2016.

When he first moved to Kimbell his studio was a fairly basic affair, not set up as a gallery.

Undeterred, he found a piece of cardboard, wrote on it “Exhibition, paintings” and hung it on gorse bush at the front of the property, which was on the highway between Tekapo and Fairlie.

He sold $24,000 worth of paintings in the first month after that, so he told his wife Jan (who died in 2013) “Hey, that’s a bit of a green light, isn’t it?”

In the end, demand for his work through the gallery got more than

Get the benefits of regular exercise without the strain and sweat

Introductory specIal

he could keep up with.

Sales of his Randall’s originals and prints have gone well past $11 million, he says, with commissioned works appearing at venues including; Pantiles Art Gallery, Tunbridge Wells, England; the New York Design Show; Bloomingdales and Bullocks, in the USA; the IMF Gallery, Washington DC; the Australian Bicentennial Pro-motion and the Fine Art Promotion, Tokoyo, Japan.

He has also been invited to exhibit at the Royal Academy in London and has been commissioned

by Royal Albert China.

However, it’s not only as an artist that Randall has made his mark.

For many years he has been in demand as a fine art demonstrator and tutor.

He stopped counting the number of art students he had taught a few years ago, but at that stage it was already more than 3500.

Randall says, if you added up the value of work produced by those artists and sold worldwide, it would top $300 million.

The best however, is yet to come.

One artist he taught about 20 years ago, who he did not want to name, “because he (the artist) is a little bit sensitive about this sort of information being made public”, has had several hundred million dollars invested in him by an American businessman.

For Randall though, it is not about the money. “People tell me they would like to paint but they don’t know how to start. Well, I’ve got the keys for them to unlock their talent. Unless they have the keys to unlock the door it probably won’t happen.”

He encourages his students to think commercially. “I tell them to think like a road worker. When they see a hole in the road they fill it up. I tell them (his students) when they see a hole in the market, fill it up.”

This toning table rocks!

Passive exercise equipment has been utilized by hospitals for the rehabilitation of joints after surgery and used

by N.A.S.A. Passive exercise machines stimulate nerve endings of various muscle groups.

This table is “The Circulator” and encourages improved blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. The table does this by a gentle rocking action (not vibration), very much like being rocked in the cradle when a child.

Every parent knows how rocking relaxes and encourages better sleep, which was confirmed recently by researchers at the University of Geneva. They also noted memory improvements.

Improved blood and lymphatic circulation supports: restful sleep, weight control, muscle tone, fitness, flexibility, mobility, agility, balance, circulation, detoxification, lactic acid reduction and healing.

There is now a toning table

for your use in Richmond, feel comfortable and relax with no disrobing required (shoe removal only) and enjoy the benefits of this stress free equipment. The first 10 minute session is complimentary.

We have an introductory special until April 30 – ten minutes for just $10.

You can see a demonstration of this table this weekend only at 69 Washbourn Drive Richmond, Saturday April 13 11am-1pm, phone 544 6735.

Businesswomen thankful for support Earlier this week two women behind a Dovedale business gave a presentation in Auckland to SheEO - an initiative that backs women entrepreneurs, providing them with access to venture capital, coaching and connections.

Dot Kettle and Georgia Richards initially launched their Dove River range of organic, remedial skin care products at the Nelson Farmers Market in 2014 and last Saturday they launched their new branding, Pure Peony, at the same place.

They followed that up on Monday by speaking at a SheEO summit, describing the impact SheEO had on their business.

“Through SheEO we’ve been able to call on some of New Zealand’s top business women for advice, connections, and support,” Dot says.

“It’s amazing. As well as the help with re-branding and re-packaging, we’ve had help re-scoping our scientific proof project.”

Callaghan Innovation completed a scientific literature review and analysis and the summary it prepared is now on the Pure Peony website.

That review documents the large body of work that supports the anti-inflammatory usage and action of peony extracts.

“Our new look and new packaging better reflects our values and the benefits of our organic remedial skin repair range,” says Dot. “Our commitment to the environment determines the way we farm and the packaging we use.

Plastic is being phased out, with skin repair creams now in glass pots and bottles and sent out using home compostable “dirt bags” and cardboard boxes. New recyclable tubes made from sugar cane are on their way for customers who find glass either too heavy or impractical.

Five years ago, Dot and Georgia stumbled across the skin calming, anti-bacterial properties of peony root.

At that time, they were growing peonies for the export cut flower market. They discovered that while peonies are a beautiful flower, their roots have other benefits.

With three young sons suffering from problem skin

because of eczema, Dot and Georgia were searching for an effective natural alternative to prolonged steroid use.

And they found it - in the most unlikely of places – in the roots of the peonies growing on their own farm.

Peony root has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine and its healing properties have been backed up by scientific research.

Partnering with local soap manufacturers and natural products manufacturers, and with the assistance of Cawthron Institute, Dot and Georgia developed their unique skin repair range.

Dot and Georgia continue to work closely with Cawthron Institute, which tests their root to confirm the level of the natural active ingredient found in some varieties of peonies.

Each batch of root is tested to confirm potency and each batch of cream is tested again to confirm safety.

“We are able to confidently say that Pure Peony combines science and the powerful ingredients of peony root to help heal problematic skin quickly,” says Dot.

Nelson Matters This week I voted on Nelson’s behalf for tighter gun laws. It has triggered the wrath from some gun enthusiasts. I have no regrets.

It is the right response to the atrocity in Christchurch that saw the loss of so many innocent lives.

Some critics have argued it is National’s job to oppose, but I disagree. Our job is to challenge where we honestly believe the Government is doing the country harm. It is good that parliament has united in response to this grotesque attack.

I do not claim that these new gun laws will prevent all mass killings. Terrorists can commit their

atrocities by hijacking planes, making bombs out of chemicals or driving vehicles into crowds.

The problem with semi-automatic weapons is that they are specifically designed to kill. This murderer committed this atrocity here rather than in Australia in part because our gun laws were more lax.

The vast bulk of the 5,000 firearm owners in Nelson and Tasman are responsible law abiding citizens who quite legitimately use their guns for recreation, sport and pest control. I do not believe sports people need the sort of military style AR15 weapons

used in the Christchurch attacks to enjoy their hunting. The new law does provide exemptions for those who really need semi-automatics such as for pest control.

Critics claim we should just focus on filtering out those who misuse firearms. The last major parliamentary debate on gun laws was after the Aramoana tragedy that killed 14 people in 1990. A local constituent and farmer berated me over the proposed changes then saying they just penalized law abiding gun owners like him who did no harm. Three years later he lost the plot, fatally shooting his wife, farm worker and himself.

544 Waimea Road, Nelson

There is clear evidence internationally that tighter gun laws save lives. The rate of gun deaths per 100,000 people ranges from 12 in the US, to two in Canada to one in New Zealand and 0.2 in the UK. Australia has a lower rate than New Zealand and it halved after the John Howard government introduced tough laws in response to the Port Arthur massacre.

There are three areas where I take a slightly different view to the Government. Providing only two days for public submissions was too short. We need details of the buyback scheme so Parliament can ensure it is fair. The bill

should also include the tougher provisions National has promoted in a members bill targeting gang gun violence.

New Zealand prides itself on being a safe and peaceful country. I love that our police are not routinely armed. It is unique that a Minister or MP like me can go to the Nelson market without security every Saturday with my caravan to meet constituents. I like that when we hear a bang in our neighbourhood we assume it is a car backfiring. These new gun restrictions are about reducing risk and reasserting our relaxed kiwi way of life.

Just a thought...

Kenneth Walker Nelson Tasman Bays Corps The Salvation Army I appreciate, on those odd occasions when it occurs, being asked out to lunch with the invite followed by, ‘my shout’.

It’s more than a thought of getting something for free that makes me grateful, it is the thought that someone values me enough to want to invest their time and money on me.

The phrase “there’s no free lunch” picks up on the reality that someone, somewhere along the way has to pick up the tab. What might be free to you is, in fact, costing someone.

As we approach the Easter season I am reminded of this real-

ity when I consider the free gift of grace offered by God to humanity contained in the word salvation.

Free to me, as in a gift, but very costly to the giver.

The Easter drama as told in the pages of the Bible starts with a cruel betrayal followed closely by a gruesome torture session and a slow barbaric death scene. This is a picture of suffering and loss of the highest order.

To place this into the context of my opening scenario, this is the cost of the gift that was to follow.

Easter Sunday is the turn of

the tide and the scene unfolds with life, not death, as its main theme. Life, real life, is the free gift of God to those who trust in Him. A verse in the Bible in the book of John sums it up this way: “For God so loved the world that he gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life”, John 3:16.

However, just as I need to accept an invitation to lunch to receive the benefits of the offer, so too does one need to accept the gift that God offers.

Just a thought, maybe you should give it a go.

The Flipout Nelson Noise Crew will be in full voice again this season.

It will be a mix of familiar and foreign faces when the Mike Pero Nelson Giants hit the court this Friday.

A revamped roster sees a number of new additions to the squad as well as the return of its stalwarts.

After a resurgent 2018 season, which saw the Giants knocked out of the NBL semi-final, the franchise is looking to replicate that form as they chase the title which has eluded them since 2007.

This task is made tougher as the side will be without its biggest star for the majority of the 2019 season.

Finn Delany has utilised his Europe “out clause” and is joining Serbian FMP Belgrade, making him unavailable for the majority of the Giant's NZNBL campaign.

He returns to New Zealand late in the season and will rejoin the Giants should they

make the play-offs.

The 23-year-old was an integral part of the Giant’s 2018 run, averaging just under 20 points a game.

However, new head coach Mike Fitchett had been planning for this contingency and has built a solid squad.

This included securing the signature of Tall Black Mika Vukona for the 2019 NBL season.

Mika will play his 19th NZNBL campaign after playing his first game for the franchise as a 17-year-old at the turn of the century and returning to the Hangar in 2018.

The 36-year-old Fijian-born Nelsonian brings a wealth of experience to the region with more than a decade of international basketball under his belt.

Though he may not be lighting up the stats sheets, Vukona brings immeasurable lead-

ership and nous to the court.

Giants chairman Jeremy Banks says he is excited to have Mika back home again for 2019.

"We all know the impact that Mika has on the basketball court and we can't wait to see him back in action."

Also on the books is Australian boomer Daniel Grida.

Daniel has had an outstanding season with the Illawarra Hawks in the NBL and helped Australia claim top spot in its qualifying group at the FIBA World Cup. The 6'5" guard has become a fan favorite in the Australian capital, proving a force at each end of the court.

Jeremy says Daniel is a rising talent in the ANBL who has just come off a great rookie season.

"He has demonstrated that he knows how to work hard and will be a great addition to the team."

The Giants have also managed to lure Perth Wildcat Rhys Vague across the Tasman.

The 23-year-old forward, who stands at 2.06m, already has two ANBL championships to his name.

The Nelson Special Olympics golf team and their playing partners from Greenacres Golf Club are all smiles after the competition on Saturday. Photo: Supplied.

Special Olympics players praised Special Olympics Nelson had a team of eight golfers who competed with Special Olympics West Coast at the Unified, Alternate Shot, Level Two golf event on Saturday, April 6.

Patron and Founder member of Special Olympics Nelson, John Towns (who praised the players’ exemplary conduct) and Tony Naylor (head golf coach) were on hand to present the ribbons and prizes to the various winners.

Each of the players competed and performed admirably on the day, with the guidance of their

partner/mentor and the many supporters, parents and spectators who came to cheer the guys on.

Division 1 was won by Reon Enoka, who was partnered by Gary Webb from Greenacres, with an impressive 9-hole total of 38 shots.

Division 2 was won by visiting golfer Henry Shaw, who was partnered by Noeline Webb from Greenacres, with an amazing score of only 32 shots over nine holes.

Wendy Littlejohn, chairperson of Special Olympics Nelson, said, “all the team loved playing in this

Level Two – Alternate Shot Golf Event, which is the first to be held in the South Island”.

All the athletes are regularly seen practicing at their home of golf Greenacres Golf Course, where they are always made to feel so welcome.

The Special Olympics Unified Sports Motto is: “On the course we are teammates, off the course we are friends.”

The next Special Olympics Golf training session will be on Thursday, April 11, at 3pm. For more information contact Tony Naylor on 021 133 8688.

Great Taste Trail to be extended The Nelson Tasman Cycle Trails Trust is working on a project that is the first stage of extending the Great Taste Trail from the Nelson Airport to the Nelson i-Site, via Tahunanui.

The aim is to provide a scenic link from the Airport to Tahunanui Beach and eventually an alternative safe biking route to the city centre.

Under discussion by the Works and Infrastructure Committee was one section of the proposed route, from Hounsell Circle to the Tahuna Beach Holiday Park.

Four possible routes through this section were considered. The route approved by the Committee is along Beach Road, next to the playing fields between Waikare Street and the entrance to the Holiday Park.

The Beach Road route is preferred by the Nelson Tasman Cycle Trails

Trust, and Nelson Bays Football (the main user of the adjacent sports field).

One of the disadvantages of the route is that it will reduce available car parking from 65 to 29 along that section, by converting angle parking to parallel parking.

Nelson City Council works and infrastructure committee chairman, Stuart Walker, says the committee carefully considered the issue around the loss of parking.

“Through observations of parking patterns carried out over the last six months, we were reassured that, apart from times of major events, the removal of these car parks will not have a significant impact.

“The fact that this route also offered a more direct route, less potential conflict with pedestrians and improved safety were all major selling points,” Stuart says.

Nelson Tasman Cycle Trails Trust will be working with council staff to ensure this trail integrates with the Tahunanui Pathways on-road cycling route.

Josh Aldridge, trail manager of the Nelson Tasman Cycle Trails Trust says “We’re pleased to be able to progress this project with the support of Nelson City Council as the first stage of connecting the Airport to Nelson City with a high-quality off-road pathway.

“Moving forward, the boardwalk section around the perimeter of the Motor Camp will offer stunning views across Tasman Bay to the Western Ranges.

The Trust is continuing to work with key stakeholders to agree the best route for the next phase of the project which is connecting Parkers Road to the Airport Terminal,” Josh says.

Nelson wins the sprint car war Jody Scott

Speedway Reporter editorial@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Nelson drivers filled the podium on Saturday night as the penultimate meeting of the Hydralink “War of the Wings” Sprint car Series sponsored by Dowie Contracting wound up at Milestone Top of the South Speedway.

Connor Rangi is a man on a mission, as he went flag-to-flag in the sprint car feature, cutting Jamie Duff ’s lead in the Hydralink series to just 26 points as they head into the final round in Cromwell over Easter.

Connor is the form driver over recent weeks.

He has the South Island title to contend in Christchurch this week before pulling out all the stops to go one better than he did last year - the series title is within reach.

Other Nelson drivers on the podium were last round feature winner Sam O’Callaghan in 2nd, with Greg Teece borrowing the other Freeman machine to finish 3rd.

Alicia McLauchlan ended her series with a 7th placing in the feature, but wedding bells will be sounding when the next round happens as she ties the

Only 13 sprint cars fronted, as the long season has taken its toll on budgets and machinery.

It was good to see the locals are doing well in the series, Sam sits in 3rd behind Connor on series points, with Alicia in 7th.

The T.Q’s added to their roll-over

tally, with Alicia and Greg pulling double duties on the night, while the stock cars were enticed with the Waimea Weekly ‘cash for bash’ but they were mostly happy to dash rather than bash.

The street stock club title went the way of Ryan Musgrove as he cruised to victory with two wins and a second.

Nelson took victory in the Mike Inwood Production Teams race against Eastern States in their opening race before returning to individual racing, with just one more meeting due, on Friday of Easter weekend.

It will be the return of Ian Burson and introduction of their next generation, his son Jack, who will

be debuting in the youth grade.

Competitors keep it fun The morning might have sported the first signs of winter but that did not stop hundreds of keen runners, scooters, skaters and walkers from turning out for the annual City2Saxton event.

Sunday’s event, which began

at Victory Community Centre, saw competitors dressed in all manner of outfits making their way to Saxton Fields in Richmond.

Sport Tasman says that the event was a great success, with everyone enjoying

themselves at different levels of competitiveness.

This year, the event was raising money for the youth mentoring service Big Brothers Big Sisters, which pairs people from different age groups to ensure they thrive.

Competitors were met at Saxton Fields by a “finish village”, which featured everything from a bouncy castle to barbecue, coffee carts and spot prizes.

The event was held over a 10km course.

Hockey tourney entries open Hockey Nelson is calling for entries for the Top of the South club tournament at Saxton Fields next month.

Teams from Nelson, Marlborough, Buller and West Coast are eligible to enter the event, which is being held from May 17 to 19.

Games will be played as normal 11 a-sidematches, in separate men’s and women’s divisions. Match durations and competition formats are still to be confirmed as they are subject to how many teams and games that need to be accommodated.

However, it’s planned that each team will get four or five games and each game will last 30 minutes.

The competition format will involve round robin games, with semi-finals involving first and second placegetters from each pool. There will be one gold medal game for each division, along with friendly play-offs for all non-finalists.

Entries must be received by May 1.

For more information, contact Nelson Hockey.

Runners ready to loop lake

The always popular Alpine Lodge Loop the Lake race returns to Lake Rotoiti on Saturday.

The event has been operating for more than 20 years, and over the last five or so it has booked out.

That is again the case this year, although a waiting list is operating.

The course is an anticlockwise circuit of Lake Rotoiti, beginning from the Lake Rotoiti waterfront.

It’s a distance of about 25km.

Loop the Lake, like the Abel Tasman Coastal Classic and Captain Cook’s Landing events, is conducted through a concession contract with the Department of Conservation and is limited to 400 competitors to minimise impact on the trail.

The course is known as New Zealand’s best alpine lake land circuit.

The experience is alpine and bush trail, with the possibility that participants will experience the full gamut of alpine

weather conditions during the event - it has snowed in times past.

Despite that possibility, organisers say it is a fantastic introduction to trail running, giving many runners their first taste of off-road running.

Local Search and Rescue members will be on-hand to help with health and safety.

They also use the event as a training day, so their involvement benefits competitors, event organisers Nelson Events and the SAR members

themselves.

Nelson Events began looping the lake back in 1996.

Due to the area’s relative isolation, early European settlers were unaware of the lake.

It was not until 1843 when exploring the upper reaches of the Motueka and Motupiko valleys, that John Silvanus Cotterell came upon a lake reported by Maori to be in the area.

Although now named Rotoiti, it was previously known as Rotu iti and Arthur.

Record time posted More than 70 runners and walkers headed out on the first of Athletic Nelson’s 5km Turf Bar Stoke series last Wednesday.

The course, featuring the Railway Reserve Walkway, was flat and fast, with the winner, Matt Ogden, finishing in a record time of 16 minutes flat. Two other runners, Dan Busch and Alan Bryson, also ran well, with times of 17 minutes 24 seconds and 17.45 respectively.

Some excellent times were also recorded by the women, with Julia Lawson 1st in 19.29 and Katie Wright 2nd in 20.57. Of the walkers, Don Bate was the clear winner in 31.41, with the fastest woman, Gillian MacDougall, 34.5.

Saturday’s 6.5km run included a challenging section up Walters Bluff zig-zag track. Winner Brian Kemp clocked 25.42, first woman Klaartje van Schie, 28.25, and fastest walker Peter Hague 42.39.

Speedway driver aiming high Jody Scott

Speedway Reporter editorial@waimeaweekly.co.nz

The “more the merrier” is a theme Cam Lankshear quotes as he aims to grow the Production Saloon grade in Nelson The 2017/18 Rookie of the Year has set his sights high in his first full season behind the wheel of the 11n VW. He co-shared the production with partner Zoe Connelly in his first season. It meant that with stand-downs and only driving every second meeting, Cam was unable to develop his driving and set up as fast he wanted to, so the best option was to get another car.

Now both compete on race nights.

Zoe is the grade rep in Nelson while Cam has set up a Facebook page, “Nelson production saloons”.

Through it they promote the grade, adding profiles etc.

His second year behind the wheel has netted him 2nd overall for the club championship after three rounds over the season, with a few chequered flags to boot.

He reckons they’re a good bunch of blokes to race with

and hopes a few more drivers are keen to join the grade.

Cam has had nine years racing rally cars.

He still has the Starlet in the shed but has spent more time in the production saloon as of late.

He enjoys spending time in the shed, making sure the car is running right, looking at setup improvements.

He believes keeping the car clean, making sure parts are running free, oil changes and checking CV joints after every meeting ultimately gives him better results come race day.

He has grown up around speedway and has enjoyed his two seasons on the track so far, there is still plenty to learn and improve on.

He needs plenty of patience when he is at work.

As part of his job he puts together the office desks and furniture etc, the ones that take regular folks half a day and still have four screws left over at the end.

When they first started racing, partner Zoe had never driven a manual car, so that was a joint effort to come to grips with changing gears on the race track, now it’s second nature.

There are plans to travel to other tracks a bit more often, with King of the Coast in Greymouth an immediate target to end the season.

Although the rally car could do some miles through the winter months, the production cars will get a good going over in the off season, with likely tweaks to improve the performance.

Looking forward to next season, if the New Zealand title ends up in Blenheim then that could also be on the radar, but meanwhile Cam will be busy promoting the production grade on Facebook and encouraging new drivers to join the club.

Check out Cam’s and Zoe’s “CZ Motorsport” page as well.

It’s been a great season, with the racing being so close.

It’s come down to the final races to see who gets the gold and 2nd spot overall at club champs amongst a competitive field.

The many drivers offering support has really made their season.

The car has performed well and its onwards and upwards for next year for the 11n and 17n team.

Waimea triathletes perform well Waimea schools performed strongly at the recent Port Nelson Schools Triathlon, with Waimea Intermediate winning the Port Nelson cup for the second consecutive year and Waimea College finishing fourth.

Conditions were close to per-

Welcome to Autumn Welcome to autumn as we see and feel summer slipping away and mornings getting darker.

At least this makes dawn fishing sessions much easier on the sleep patterns. This brings on the next season and opportunities fishing wise. Reports around the bay are that Snapper are still about and those finding them are not disappointed in their size of catches or indeed their volume. Others are being skunked, one thing is for sure, you need to be out there to be in with a chance.

There are plenty of options around the area, members of the Dawnbreakers have just got this months hot spot, and this is much closer than you would expect, only one nautical mile from shore - an easy paddle for a kayak fisho and easy enough for

boaties as well.

As the water cools we would expect to see the snapper sticking around for the next month, as well as the trusty (and delicious) gurnard making an appearance.

You may have to battle through the small snapper to get a gurnard, but it’s worth it as you may get a larger model snapper for your patience.

One often overlooked fishery in the area is fresh water, not that it would appear we had a lot of fresh water this summer, but I did get my young fella out to the fish out ponds in Appleby. These ponds offer a great opportunity for our kids. They will learn of valuable fishing skills they can use for any type of fishing. As a bonus, the fish are in great condition and taste great.

Tasman’s future – where do we grow from here?

Nelson and Tasman are growing fast. With your help, we’re in the process of planning where in the region future homes and business should go.

Using the results of feedback on the Nelson Tasman Future Development Strategy collected earlier this year, we have developed three potential growth scenarios. We’re now seeking your views on those scenarios to help us refine the options that will shape the future of your communities.

All three scenarios could provide for a high-growth future, allowing at least 12,000 new homes to be built across the region. The scenarios are not mutually exclusive –the final strategy may be a mix of the options.

Three scenarios • Enable housing choice while addressing sea level rise • Enable housing choice while protecting productive land • Balanced option: Enabling housing choice while taking both constraints into account Have your say: You can find out more and fill in a survey online at www.tasman.govt.nz/feedback. More information is also available at Nelson City and Tasman District Council offices and libraries.

Feedback closes on 6 May 2019.

Public information sessions You’re invited to come along and chat with us to find out more about the options and share your thoughts.

BEAT THE MAYOR winners A big congratulations to the winners of the Beat the Mayor competition, Philippa Beckman, Anita Stanbridge and Ruth Bagnall.

Philippa, Anita and Ruth all reduced their household water use to less than 97 litres a day during the drought – blowing Mayor Richard Kempthorne’s effort out of the water! Well done all three – you will now have the chance to dunk Mayor Richard in the Richmond Aquatic Centre.

The mayoral dunking is planned for early May – more details coming soon.

Bateup Road widening delayed by fire and drought The completion of the Bateup Road widening project has been delayed by a combination of factors, including the Pigeon Valley fire and drought. We now expect the work to be finished by the end of May. Mechanical equipment being used for the Bateup Road project was diverted to help with the firefighting effort. The machinery ban in effect during the state of emergency also contributed to the delay. In addition, during the summer drought we had to bring in water for the project from areas that were not subject to water restrictions, which also slowed progress. The underground works to provide improved water and stormwater services are now complete. The contractor is working hard to make up for lost time and has made good progress on the footpath, kerb and channel and road construction. The project is to widen the road and create a shared pathway on Bateup Road to cater for greater numbers of pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles as a result of subdivision growth and a planned new supermarket in the area. Improved stormwater and water services are also being installed. We appreciate your patience during this extended period of roadworks.

Record entries in tennis Abigail Day and Rosa Wilson (Mapua Club) also had a comprehensive win in the 10s girls, with Marlborough pair Brandon Brooker and Joseph SandfordJury taking the 14s boys title.

A relatively new grade, 17 and over men’s, gave an extra option for senior players to compete, with Christchurch pair Hugo Nurse-Strang and Jenner Johnson on form, snatching the title from the local field.

Richmond player Hamish Low played consistently good tennis, winning each of his singles matches in straight sets to take the 17 and over title. Ashley Welsh, Tahunanui Club,

This year’s Talley’s Nelson Junior Summer Open tournament, held last weekend, attracted a record number of entries, with 50 per cent of players from other regions, providing exciting competition for local players.

Fortunately, the Nelson weather shone through, allowing play to run to schedule despite the large numbers.

Play commenced on Friday with doubles. The combination of Auckland and Christchurch players Artagnan Madankumar and Alvin Na moved swiftly through the draw to comfortably take the win in the final of the 10s boys.

Thang Thang Vanuk kicked off this season with a hat-trick on Saturday.

Hat-trick hero Last year’s Richmond Hornbill golden boot winner Thang Thang Vanuk started the 2019 season the way he performed last season – by scoring a hat-trick.

In their opening game of the season on Saturday, the Hornbills played a local derby against the Fresh Choice Richmond Athletic Reserves.

Both teams are members of the same club.

During the game Thang Thang scored another hat-trick, which was all the more impressive as he only played the second half because he was moving house.

Coming on as a substitute at halftime with his team 1-0 down, he helped the Hornbills lift their intensity, scoring three goals in a 4-2 win.

Last season Thang Thang scored 35 goals, including six hat-tricks.

showed her strength in the 14s girls singles against Christchurch player Aliana Roelofs, winning the title 6/4 6/3. Fynn Roberts (Richmond Club) had an amazing tournament, winning the graded boys consolation draw. Second place went to Luke Edmonds of Nelson Club.

Connor Edmonds of Tahuna Club came through strongly in the match tie-break, 5/3, 4/5, 10/4 against Jack Wheeler of Christchurch to take 3rd place in the 10s boys.

The summer tennis season wraps up with the Nelson KIA Senior Open and Masters Tournament on April 27 and 28.
