‘A blow for our schools’ Disgusted principals vow to fight campus closure

Andrew Board

All aboard, Tahuna trains as popular as ever Tahunanui’s big little attraction is steaming towards another busy summer, but that’s nothing new for the 50 year old miniature railway.

The Society of Modellers railway track weaves its way around the Tahunanui modellers pond, through sand dunes and back to the magnificently detailed station and has been a favourite of children for decades. Member John Caldwell spends most Wednesday and Saturday mornings at the track, and wheelchairs mobility scooters walker/canes electric beds ands hoists lift assist chairs bathroom solutions incontinence products daily living aids/products

says the club is as strong as it has ever been. “We have more than 50 members and we all have different reasons for being involved, some like building trains, some like the engineering of it and others just like to see the kids smile.”

The miniature train tracks are open to the public every Sunday afternoon and its popularity is hardly a secret, hundreds take advantage of the ride every week and on special weekends, like this La-

bour weekend, queues can loop for more than 100 metres. The society has a long history in Tahunanui, it was founded in 1958 and has established tracks winding around the modelers pond and further into the former scrub next to the back beaches mud flats.

“The track is in great condition and we are always tinkering to make things that little bit better.”

The trains are operating in Tahunanui every Sunday from 1 to 4pm.

“I probably wouldn’t be affected much at all. It’d affect the businesses. But I’d eat raw food and I’d just operate by candle light, it wouldn’t bother me.”

“It would be terrifying for us.

Nelson’s youngest fire-fighter gets his dream job Andrew Board

If Jaryd Wilson puts as much effort into saving lives and putting out fires as he did getting his dream job, Nelson is in very safe hands.

Jaryd, 20, this month became the youngest full time staff member of the Nelson Fire Service, fulfilling his long time goal. “It’s always what I wanted to do, ever since I was little.”

He signed up as a volunteer member of the Stoke brigade when he was 16, the earliest age you can sign on, and never looked back.

“Jaryd didn’t have the job when he walked into the interview,” says assistant area manager Tim Bennion. “But he walked out with it. His passion was the main reason he got the job.”

While he was still at Nayland College, Jaryd spent one day a week for eight months on a volunteer placement programme which was coordinated through his school. Originally just for one term, Jaryd liked it so much he kept going. Once he left school Jaryd worked at Bunnings and began applying for the Fire Service. When he first applied he was 18 and wasn’t successful. “Whatever I wasn’t successful in I would work on. My computer skills

weren’t up to scratch, I was a one finger typist so went away and worked on that and my public speaking skills. I kept working on those things.”

When, for the first time in many years, the Nelson brigade advertised locally, Jaryd jumped at the chance. “They relisted me and went back up to Wellington and had another crack of it.”

Thirty applied locally for two positions.

After a rigorous fitness test, Jaryd had to convince the panel of potential employers that he was the man for the job. “There was a lot riding on it, it was nerve racking going into it.”

The interview proved to be Jaryd’s game-breaker and he was one of the two candidates who was hired to start earlier this month. “You couldn’t wipe the grin off my face on my first day, I was so happy.”

Station officer, Craig Davies, says it’s exciting to have Jaryd on the team. “It’s great to have him around, he has the right attitude and is keen to work.

It’s good to have him after he trained with us for so long.”

Jaryd is now focused on getting involved in the team and continuing to learn. “It’s been New recruit Jaryd Wilson, 20, at his new job as a fire-fighter. He a long journey, but it’s just the is the youngest paid fire-fighter in Nelson. Photo: Andrew Board. start now really.”

‘Water is the new gold’ Freshwater is a vital resource required to support our basic living needs, but also critical to New Zealanders for recreational and tourism opportunities, says a visiting professor.

However this resource is being monopolised in several ways. In Australia farm water is being sold to investors in Asia, Europe and North America. Water is essentially open to the highest bidder, regardless of the potential impact on land, livestock and the farming communities.

In New Zealand the issue has generally been with degradation through excessive use or through impacts on its quality, according to Professor David Hamilton. “Education can play a key role in improving our understanding of the need to protect our freshwater. Actions to protect our water resources are increasing in urgency with the current cumulative stresses imposed by rapid land use change in New Zealand. “ This Friday, 29 October, Professor Hamilton will be speaking at the 67th Thomas Cawthron Memorial Lecture. David Hamilton is a Professor in Biological Sciences and holds the position of Environment Bay of Plenty Chair in Lakes Management and Restoration at Waikato University.

The lecture starts at 8pm at the Nelson School of Music. Entry is free, but you must contact Cawthron for your free complimentary tickets at 548-2319 or email rsvp@cawthron.org.nz.

The evening will begin with musical items from the Grampians Trio, followed by the presentation of the lecture.

Fair Go ad stars, win video pack

Nelson Hospice CEO Pat Curry accepts a fundraising cheque from Tomo Chisnall.

Hospice accepts sporting donation

Last year Tomo Chisnall skateboarded the length of New Zealand to raise money for the Cancer Society and Nelson Hospice. Last week he handed over his $1500 cheque.

Other community groups also donated to Hospice last Tuesday with the Nelson Golf Club giving slightly over $2000, Nelson Country Music Society $3056 and AAPNZ, $3000.

Hamish Kennedy says the donations are appreciated but the job is not over. “We have nurses working 24/7 for Nelson people, we need to keep that good work going.”

A class at Hampden St School were national television stars last week and the 30 second advert they made also earned them a video prize pack.

Room 18 entered the Fair Go ad awards for primary schools with the theme How to Improve Your Parents.

With the help of teachers, the students brainstormed ideas, auditioned for parts and helped film, direct and edit the advert.

Some ideas for the ad included going on more holiday’s and having parents as slaves but the idea of how to win them over by simply ‘smile and nod’ made it to the final advert.

Winners were annoucned last week and while Hampden St didn’t win, Jackson Davis, 9, and the rest of room 18 at Hampden St School it still finished with a which was a finalist in the Fair Go ad awards last week. Photo: top five placing.

Pre-school opens new playground Campus Corner Early Learning Centre will offically open its new $50,000 playground on Thursday.

Reverend Harvey Ruru will bless the new playground in front of staff, children and parents says head teacher Amanda Stoddard. Plans for the playground took almost a year to get right and work took place over the last school holidays by local firm Nelmac. The new playground is more natural than its predessor, which was last upgraded a decade ago.

Amanda says the response to the new playground by the children has been fantastic. “We all got to watch the diggers and workers doing it and now that it’s finished the children are loving it. It’s a great addition to the centre.”

Stoke boy saves pocket money to publish book

Ten year-old Matthew Harvey saved his pocket money for months on end, not to buy a Playstation game, cricket bat or a new toy. He used his money to publish his book, Cool Dude.

Matthew says he began writing the book last year as a way to get ideas in his head onto paper and earlier this year started editing it to a book.

“When I started editing it I thought ‘oh, I could publish this’. I’ve always wanted to be a writer.”

So, after months of editing and illustrating, with a computer programme, Matthew had his finished product ready for the printer.

“I went down to Copy Press and found out how much it would cost and then saved up my money until I had enough.”

On top of saving his pocket money, Matthew also did some odd-jobs to raise extra money and says he is delighted with the final product.

“I got 33 printed off and have sold some to people, I gave one to my school library and hopefully I can sell a few more.”

While signed copies aren’t that rare “I’ve signed most of them”, Matthew has given permission to his fans to sell them on when he becomes famous.

He is already working on his second book, due out sometime next year.

Countdown for clean-up is on A call for community groups to join in a spring clean of Tasman Bay beaches next month has had a fantastic response with around 1000 people expected to turn out for the coastal tidy-up.

It is now just a month to go until the Big Beach Clean-up on Saturday 20 November. Fifty groups have signed up to clear rubbish from 50 sections of coast from Abel Tasman National Park to Cable Bay. When the beaches had all been taken, but groups still wanted to take part, the community cleaning effort was extended to the region’s rivers and streams. Five groups are to clean the banks of waterways including Nelson’s Maitai River, Brook Stream, Poorman’s Creek and Saltwater Creek, and Reservoir Creek in Richmond.

This first Tasman Bay Big Beach Clean-up, covering around an astounding 291 kilometres of coast, has been jointly organised by the Department of Conservation, Tasman District Council, Nelson City Council and Nelmac.

Rudy Tetteroo of DOC says the beach-cleaning groups ranged in size from six to around 40.

“Some are family groups with as many as 30 of them making a day of it at the beach. There are girl guides, banks, forestry companies, church groups, sports clubs, water transport operators, local newspaper staff and other clubs, businesses and organisations taking part.

“A sausage sizzle will be on offer to beach clean volunteers at the rubbish collection points as a Sea Scout Jamie Honor, 12, with a piece of rubbish, Scouts will be helping to thank you for their efforts,” says Rudy. clean up as part of the Big Beach Clean-up next month. Photo: Andrew Board.

Habitat for Humanity home The Jeffries family are “pumped” about the prospect of moving into their new home, which will be built by a group of Americans next month. The group are a part of Habitat for Humanitity and will arrive in Nelson in late November to build the new home on St Lawrence St. Habitat for Humanity gives low income families an opportunity into homeownership by giving them a ‘hand-up, not a hand-out’ says Nelson secretary

Gail Packer. “When we have accumulated enough money to buy a section, we invite families to apply.”

They are told they must have a deposit of $500 and must invest 500 sweat hours alongside the many volunteers who will build their home. The Jeffries home will be built with the help of a team from the USA. They will work alongside local volunteers, the entire build is expected to take seven days.

The Jeffries family, six of whom will be living in the new Habitat for Humanity home, they are from left; Jillian, Bebbie, Colin, Paul, Andrew, Ivy, Sally, Esther, Evelynne, Asher and Ziggy.

Local Colour Plus shops judged best in the land Nelson and Richmond stores have been judged ‘Jacobsen Colour Plus Store of The Year’ among the franchises throughout New Zealand.

Kevin Gear, who together with his wife Nicola and their business partners Trish and John Gray are owners of the two stores, says, “We’re thrilled to win this award though not altogether surprised because we always strive for excellence in all aspects of customer service and supply, and it seems we’re succeeding in our endeavours. Our previous best achievement was a second placing in 2007,” he adds.

The award recognises excellence in all aspects of operating a Colour Plus franchise and is judged on several criteria including development of the business, sales performance and meeting the objectives of the Colour Plus group.

“We’ve owned the business for eight years and meeting our own personal expectations and

sales growth has obviously pleased the judges too, as well as us,” says Kevin.

The owners acknowledge the professional assistance of staff Jude Gill in Richmond and Helen Bush in Nelson in achieving such high recognition.

“We’d like to thank all our customers for the fact that they are not only loyal but recommend us to their friends and colleagues and such business referrals based on satisfaction are critical to business growth. Also thanks to all our suppliers and to those who help promote our business, especially Waimea Weekly and Nelson Weekly which has been a winning advertising medium for us,” says Kevin.

The Gears and Grays are looking forward to a trip to the bright lights and shows of Las Vegas in 2012, being their reward as winning stores of the year.

What can you expect from your area manager?

• Your area manager answers 0800 calls and directs new clients to you.

• Takes the time to work with clients to ensure your business is always growing, and that your service is always being promoted and advertised.

• Is always looking at ways to cut down running costs. More business and lower costs mean more money in your pocket.

• Makes sure you always get priority service and products from suppliers.

• Liaises with other franchisees to assist with holiday and sickness leave.

• Meets regularly with you to discuss any issues or queries you may have.

Whether you’re interested for yourself, or want to work with your wife, husband or partner, a Green Acres franchise can give you and your family the personal and financial independence you desire.

Thinking about it?

There’s a lot to be gained by making the time for that phone call.

Stoke wins battle of the Eagles Carol Cook

A grand slam by Stoke Eagles batter Tom Arps was one of the major highlights of the Labour Weekend softball tournament at Saxton Field.

The Stoke Eagles Softball Club hosted Fast Pitch tournament with generous sponsorship from GJ Gardner Homes.

Poneke Kilbirnie (Wellington), Parklands Christchurch United and Papanui (Christchurch) joined local teams Stoke Eagles and Waimea Eagles in the three day tournament.

The format was a round robin before going into play offs. In the local derby Waimea held the lead over Stoke until the sixth innings when the younger team came to life. Joel Harris picked up a walk, Nick Max singled, Kurt Schollum was intentionally walked to load the bases. Tom Arps stepped into the batter’s box to hoist the ball over centre field to score the grand slam. After an outfield single, Paul Grant was batted in

by Simon Ashby. Arps batted 1000 with a single, a triple and a home run. The two local teams again met in the play offs with Stoke Eagles again coming out on top, courtesy of a great in-the-park home run by Jordan Tulloch to clinch the game 4 – 3. Second base Jack Fletcher took Craig Higgs of the Waimea Eagles looks to run to home two classy catches for Stoke. base as batter Gareth Oliver swings at the ball in the The tournement finished yesterday weekends Fast Pitch tournament.

Athletics season takes off at Saxton The Nelson Athletics Twilight series kicked off on Friday, but with many competitors still at University, and the long distance runners also a few weeks away from competing, it was a chance for the sprint-

ers to blow away the cobwebs. Brodie Hewlett, leading where he left off last season, took the 100m/200m double in 11.3 and 22.7 seconds, with Garry CreeganAlmond finishing second in both races. In

other events, Chris Line threw 50.2m to win the Javelin, Brendon Barnett jumped a personal best of 6.69m in the long jump, and Josh Barber took the honours in the mile, finishing in 4min59 seconds.

Team Pooman is from left; Patrick Dunning-McDougall, Jack Douglass, Mason Whakataka, Nathan Boyd, Kim Bateman, Brodie Watkins, Logan Bowden, John Pyers, Neall Rata, Terry Bowden, Dylan Fletcher and Thomas Awarangi. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Summer touch kicks off in Tahunanui Thursday night touch kicked off two weeks ago and team Pooman were looking for a solid start to get their Social B grade campaign up and running. It controlled the game early on with Kim Bateman dotting over for

the first try. But too many errors crept in to their game and Wakatu capitalised. Kim crossed the line once more, until a floury of Wakatu tries in the second half ended Pooman’s hopes of victory. The match finishing 5-2.
