Faulty phone lines ‘won’t be tolerated’ Fed-up residents in Maitai Valley say their home telephones “drop out” in the middle of conversations, calls go to the wrong home, and one family’s phone hasn’t been working for four months. Nelson Weekly spoke with several families who live in Maitai Valley, just six kilometres from Nelson city, who say the phone service is so bad they’ve made more than 100 complaints between them; but have been repeatedly told there is not an issue. The problem is made worse because the valley does not get cell phone reception. Kevin Shirley says his family’s home phone hasn’t worked for four months but he continues to pay the bill because he doesn’t want to lose the line. “There are only so many land lines in the valley and if I give it up I may not be able to get it back,” he says. When the phone was working, he says it would often drop out in the middle of a conversation and he’d get “ghost calls” in the middle of the night. “The phone would ring in the middle of the night, wake up the whole family and when we answered it no one

andrew@nelsonweekly.co.nz would be there,” he says. He has also had people calling his home asking for his neighbours, despite the fact the numbers are very different. Other neighbours have experienced the same issues. Hamish Kennedy has logged dozens of complaints to his phone provider, Timaru company Farmside Ltd, over the past year. The big concern for many of the residents is calling 111 in the event of an emergency. If the phones aren’t working, they would have to get in a car and drive to a place where their cell phone would work to make a call. Kevin says that simply isn’t good enough.“We have two kids up here and if there was an emergency or if there was a fire and we couldn’t call 111, it could be disastrous, but they don’t care.” Kevin says he has been told the issue

“I think at my age I’m probably more interested in the Valentine’s night. We aren’t planning on doing anything though; we’re leading a fairly quiet life.”

Steve Pettigrew, of Chorus, says the transmission box in the valley is well-known to the company and they are working hard to find a solution. “We’re well aware of the issues and have tried to fix it in the past, but clearly there are still issues with it.

January was the busiest month on record for the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter, with the crew attending 64 call outs. Last year was also a record year with 460 total missions throughout the region, a 28 per cent increase from the previous year at 357 emergencies. General manager, Paula Muddle, says the good summer weather, along with foreign tourists visiting earlier this year and Cantabrians returning in larger numbers to our region, could be contributed towards the increase in January missions. Call outs included general

We did it three and a half years ago for our favourite winter sport – now Nelson is preparing to embrace another world cup, this time for our top summer code This Saturday, the Cricket World Cup will officially start in Christchurch and Nelson is getting right behind the action with the Nelson 111 Cricket Street Party taking over upper Trafaglar St. In 2011, the same space was the venue for hundreds of Nelsonians as they watched the All Blacks win the Rugby World Cup and many will be hoping to watch the Blackcaps get off to the best possible start to the Cricket World Cup in the same place. The street party will include food and drink stalls, activities for kids and a giant bigscreen for people to watch the game, and will run from 10am until 6pm. Just down the road the annual Market Day will mean most of Trafalgar St will be in party mode for most of Saturday.

On Sunday the city will attempt to set a new world record for the most number of people “doing the Nelson,” at Trafalgar Park from 11.30am. The “Nelson” is a cricketing superstition, referring to team or individual scores of 111, thought to refer to Lord Nelson’s lost eye, arm and unknown third appendage at the battle of Trafalgar. Tradition states that 111 is an unlucky score, so to mitigate that standing on one leg or, if you are sitting taking both feet off the ground, is supposed to prevent disaster until the score moves on. The current record is held in England, where 2276 people

stood on one leg simultaneously. On Monday, the action switches to Saxton Oval where the West Indies will play Ireland from 10am. It will be the first of three Cricket World Cup games to be played in Nelson. Cricket World Cup venues project manager, Markus Erdmann, says the game is sold out and the ground is looking a picture. “It will look even better than the recent [Blackcap] game because so much more effort has gone into it, being a world cup game.” Deputy mayor Paul Matheson says the games will provide great exposure for the region.

Top cop farewells Nelson Simon Bloomberg

Cleaning up Bridge St and gaining the confidence and trust of the Nelson public stand out as highlights for Nelson Bays Police Area Commander, Inspector Steve Greally, who is heading to Wellington next month to take up a job as national manager of road policing. When Steve arrived in Nelson three years ago, he promised to target the drunken disorder that reigned on Nelson’s Bridge St on Saturday nights, and he delivered on that promise. And while he takes a lot of satisfaction out of that “result” he says one of the biggest accolades for his 137 staff at Nelson Bays police is that “our public trust and confidence is among the highest in New Zealand”. “Bridge St has been a major focus and I think we have really changed the culture there on Saturday night and Sunday morning. There are far fewer serious assaults, whether they be physical or sexual, which is great. “But the police have served Nelson Bays very well in all areas and that’s reflected in the public trust in us. I am immensely proud of my staff. “I know they work extremely hard and I’ve seen them put in a lot of sleepless nights. They have just got on and done the job they believe in so they can make it a safer place for everyone.” Steve also identifies the downward trend in crime statistics, “a couple” of successful homicide investigations and “good

But that will hit a lower limit and so we need to keep looking at ways to continually keep improving the way we do things and make gains - that will be one of the biggest challenges for the new area commander.” Steve says one of the keys to the police’s success over the last three years has been engaging the community and that’s something he learned quickly as an area commander. “It’s been a steep learning curve and I have learned so much about people. It’s not just about managing staff, it’s also about interacting with the people out-

side the police and in the community groups - they are the ones who understand the issues.” Steve says it was a “really tough decision” to leave Nelson after three years but the new job represents a significant opportunity. “It’s going to be a huge change. As an area commander road policing is part of what I do anyway, but to have a sole focus on road policing is a challenge I’m looking forward to. “But it was still a really tough decision. My wife, Erin, and I love Nelson - the weather is fantastic, the people are great. “What’s not to love about Nelson. It’s going to be very hard to leave.” Steve starts his new role on March 16 and says an new area commander for Nelson has yet to be appointed.

MUSIC FESTIVAL: The Adam Chamber Music Festival is over for another two years and festival manager Bob Bickerton said the thirteenth festival was the ‘best ever’ from many points of view. Numbers are still to be confirmed but it’s estimated that over 6000 people attended the concerts, free master class-

es and meet the artist sessions, with 50 per cent of the festival passes to attend all sessions pre-sold to overseas visitors. CHINESE NEW YEAR: New Year is the biggest celebration on the Chinese calendar and Nelsonians are welcome to join in festivities on Sunday, February 15. The New Zealand Chinese Association Nelson branch is organising the event which will be held at the Vic-

tory Community Centre. The celebration will include a catered buffet and an hour of performances from 4:30pm. Tickets can be bought from the NMIT office, the Nelson MultiCultural Council and the Victory Community Centre. BIKEWISE: Go By Bike Day is this Wednesday, February 11. Go By Bike Day pit stops in Nelson include 1903 square on Trafalgar St at 7am.

Used bras wanted for Islands Nelsonians are being urged to give their old bras and linen a new lease of life in the Islands. A donation drive has been started by Belinda Roselli, who runs her business Lav Kokonas to encourage people to donate Bras and Linen to NiVanuatu fruit workers, who will then organise to take them back to Vanuatu at the end of the season. She says, due to the sustainable way in which many Ni-Vanuatu people live they do not have a source of income to access bras

She says, although not everyone on the islands wants to wear a bra there are many woman who have taken up the option. “I’m not going in saying ‘you must wear a

bra’, that’s not my approach. My approach is to listen to what the Ni-Vanuatu want, that’s why I always say to them ‘What would you like me to collect this year and you can take it back with you?’”

After a shipping container is hired it is the responsibility of the workers to all pitch in to pay for the shipping. To donate, contact Belinda Roselli on 027 443 4128 or info@ lavkokonas.com

"Doing the Nelson" World Record Attempt Sun 15 FEB, 11am _2.30pm, trafalgar PARK Join us for a Guinness World Record attempt to “do the Nelson”. This is a cricketing superstition which has people lifting one foot off the ground to avoid bad luck whenever the score reaches 111.

Record attempts start at 12.30pm

Let’s see if we can beat the current world record of 2276 people “doing the Nelson” at once. We’re also setting the world record for someone standing on one leg for the longest time. There will be local music, food and festivities so don’t miss out!

A festival to feast on Jacob Chandler

The smell of hangi wafted through the air as visitors were treated to an array of international foods at the Whakatu Marae for the 2015 International Kai Festival on Friday. The Waitangi Day event drew large crowds which crammed in around both the marae and Founders Heritage Park. Visitors had the chance to taste a variety of Maori and New Zealand kai including hangi, boil-up pies, whitebait patties, fried bread and raw fish. A number of international stalls were also serving up traditional food such as oliebol, churros, curries and breads.

A long queue of people formed around the hangi pit as the baskets of food were lifted from the hot irons and dished up into paper bowls. Event organiser Carol Hippolite says she was overwhelmed with the reaction from visitors. “Most people who I talked to said it was pretty awesome and we didn’t need to change anything. They loved all the performances.” She says the event attracts a lot of tourists who like to learn about Maori culture. This year she had worked in with the Nelson Provincial Museum to develop display placards and pamphlets to hand out. She estimates the turnout was close to last year’s number of around 10,000 people.

Honey season bang on the money Motorsport park gaining traction

Simon Bloomberg

Nelson beekeepers are enjoying one of the best seasons in 40 years with warm temperatures, timely rainfalls and prolific flowering resulting in bumper yields of high quality honey. "It's a really excellent season with yields well above average," Moutere Beekeeping's Hector Urquhart says. "We are getting around 50 to 70 kilograms of honey from each hive, which is very good. "I've been beekeeping here for 12 years and this year's right up there with the very good season we had in 2009-2010. But I think the quality is better this year - we have had pollen counts done on the manuka honey and it's very good." Hector says the heat, timely rainfalls and good flowering by key plants have combined to produce the perfect season. "We have the nice hot days and it hasn't been windy. The manuka and kanuka and kamahi have also been flowering really well and then we've had just enough rain to release the nectar," he says. Managing director of Nelson Honey, Philip Cropp, who is a third-generation beekeeper and started commercial beekeeping in 1972, says "it's one of the best seasons we have ever seen". Although Philip says it is "too early" to put a figure on yields, it will "be well above average."

"The manuka has been flowing very well and it's our premium-priced product compared to other honey. There's lots of different grades of manuka honey but we'd usually get around $20 a kilogram." President of the Nelson branch of the National Beekeepers Association and Mountain Valley Honey co-owner, Murray Elwood, agrees the "perfect weather" has resulted in "a very good season". "This season is pretty darn good and I've been beekeeping for 25 years and this

season would be in the top four or five." Hector says beekeepers are also benefitting from strong domestic and export markets. Demand and price have been high especially for manuka honey, which is the most expensive in the world. New Zealand's 4279 registered beekeepers, 27,106 apiaries and 452,018 beehives produce around 9000 to 12,000 tonnes of honey annually, with almost one third to half exported. Exports of honey are valued at around $81 million.

THE FUTURE IS WORTH SEEING

The newly-named Kohatu Park is gaining plenty of support from motorsport enthusiasts and businesses, as fund-raising and planning for the motorsport and adventure park near Tapawera, south of Nelson, changes up a gear. Plans for a motorsport venue on a 203 hectare property owned by Nelson businessman and motorsport enthusiast, Garry Adcock, have been in the pipeline for a number of years. But the project gained traction last year after a resource consent was granted for initial earthworks and infrastructure at the site and a board of directors was elected to steer the project. And now the board has launched a new website to publicise the project and started a membership drive to show that it has enough support from the community. Board member Dave McLeod says they already have about 300 members and are aiming to get 1000 by March. Dave says the support is critical to show the Nelson and Tasman councils that the Kohatu Motorsport Park should be included their 2015-2025 Long Term Plans, to be finalised in June this year. Associate membership costs $20, with new members eligible for $55 of discounts through a voucher system backed by Nelson businesses. "That funding isn't going to build the park but it is important because it will show the level of support," Dave says. He says the serious funding for the project would need to come from major sponsors. Dave says the board has also received the first concept plans for some of the facilities at the park and he expects work to start soon on some of the "non-seal" tracks for motocross, supercross, rallying and off-road racing. Kohatu Park will be having on open day onsite on February 22. For more information about Kohatu Park and becoming a member, see kohatupark.co.nz

Survivor Scooter attracts new faces

Fossil Ridge Boutique Wines

Simon Bloomberg This year's Survivor Scooter charity ride may be a lot shorter in terms of distance than the original edition from Bluff to Nelson, but organiser Jason Monopoli is promising that it will be a lot more challenging. Survivor Scooter 5 will start at Hanmer Springs on February 18 when 25 riders on their 50cc scooters will set out on a four-day 350 kilometre journey. Although Jason will not disclose the route before the ride starts, he says it will "end somewhere on the north-west of the West Coast" and have an extremely interesting finish. "It's going to start off relatively easy and then get more challenging towards the end. It's going to be fewer kilometres than the earlier rides, but a lot more fun.' Jason says riders, will cover some of the toughest off-road tracks in the top of the South Island. If that wasn't enough, they also have to compete in challenges each day against the other riders with the winner raising cash for charity. "The challenges are going to be interesting this year. We have one called the Bear Grylls Challenge, so that gives you an idea of what the riders are in for." Jason says the ride is a fundraiser for the Nelson Ark with all proceeds going to the charity. It is supported by the Nelson Four Wheel Drive Club which provides logistic support for the riders. Many of the riders in this year's Survivor Scooter are "repeat offenders", which Jason says is a testament to the popularity of the event. Two of those repeat offenders are Nelson couple Christine and Andrew Clark who have also talked their friends, Rod Sharp and Janine Pomeroy, into joining them. "It will be the third time we've done it and we're really looking forward to it," Christine says. "You get to see some incredible countryside and have so much fun. "It's like four-wheel-driving except you aren't sitting in a cab. You get right into the countryside - sometimes with your face in the mud. "You also get to go places you would never have access to and you are raising money for the Ark. The people who do it are great company too they are all adventurous and have a good sense of humour." Although Rod and Janine will be Survivor Scooter rookies, Christine is confident they will be up to the challenge. "They both do adventure racing and Rod was in the army, so they'll cope really well. They'll probably handle it better than us." The event has already raised $1040 for the Ark after major sponsor Total Oil donated a new Peugeot scooter, which was sold on TradeMe along with a free entry into the ride. The scooter will be auctioned-off after the ride with the proceeds also going to the Ark.

Café Lunches and Wine Tasting in attractive surroundings. Bookings welcome.

Monster Slide: After reading the comments on your "Your Voice" page this week, I decided to add my two cents worth. I thought the monster slide was

a bit of a samozell. The organising was pretty hopeless and simple things like the gradient wasn't investigated properly. However, my kids loved it. My mate's kids loved it and at the end of the day that's all that mattered to me. Do they have things to work on? Yes. But I for one hope they'll be back again next year and I'd happily pay to go again. Dylan (via email).

Win a gold rose

Public meeting called for Victory liquor store

Jens Hansen and Nelson Weekly are giving you the chance to make this Valentine’s Day one to remember, by giving away a unique $300 gold-plated rose. The 11-inch rose was cut at the height of its freshness before being coated with 24 carat rose gold by electroforming, to preserve it for eternity and celebrate this week of love. For the chance to win this stunning gift, simply come into the Jens Hansen studio on the corner of Selwyn Place and Trafalgar Square by 4pm, Friday, February 13, and you could make someone very happy on Valentine’s Day this Saturday.

A public meeting on Thursday, February 12 will update the Victory community on the issue of the Victory Liquor Centre. The store ceased trading after it was found to be operating without a current licence, but the store owner is still able to apply for a new licence. The meeting, organized by the Keep Victory Safe group and councillor Matt Lawrey, will begin at 5:30pm at the Victory Community Centre, and will cover what has happened to date and how people can make effective objections to the store owner applying for a new licence.

Saturday were thrilled with the turn out of cars and spectators. It’s the first time the show has been held in Nelson, and Founders Heritage Park made the perfect backdrop for the more than 2000-strong crowd that came to view the impressive hot-rod display. Organiser Sue Jones said the highlight of the day was seeing everybody happy and enjoying the display of vehicles that had come from around the country. Ian Lind, of New Plymouth, won both number one hot rod and top hot rod in the “Rodders Choice” with his 1932 High Boy, while Grant Hilton, of Hamilton, won people’s choice with his 1932 Ford Cabriolet.

stressful thanks to new ring Getting down on one knee and asking your loved one to marry you is a stressful enough task, never mind trying to find the “perfect” engagement ring that they can wear for the rest of their lives. So, jewellers Yvon Smits and Allison Judge, of Jewel Beetle, have come up with a novel way to help people find the perfect engagement ring. They’ve created a “proposal ring”, in sterling silver with the option of gold plating, shaped to look like a diamond solitaire, with the words “will you marry me” engraved on the band. “Before a guy pops the question he can buy this ring, then if all goes to plan the couple come back here and work with us on the design for their ultimate engagement ring,” says Yvon. Allison says an engagement ring is a lifelong investment, so it is important to get it right. “For the proposal ring we wanted something that looked like an engagement ring but cost a lot less,” she says. “It’s a sort of ‘stunt double’ for the real thing and takes the pressure off the guy making the choice by himself.” In their ten-year business partnership, Yvon and Allison say they have seen plenty of nervous men in the workshop trying to decide what kind of ring to buy, and they’ve also had girls coming in asking for alterations on engagement rings that weren’t quite what they wanted. They hope the new proposal ring will solve those problems. They can be bought from Jewel Beetle, upstairs in Trafalgar St, or online at jewelbeetle.co.nz
