Not even Rudolph’s nose could shine as bright as Rod Barnes did at the Ulysses Nelson Toy Run on Saturday. More than 300 motorcycle enthusiasts took to the streets of Richmond, Stoke and Nelson, fundraising and collecting toys for the region’s youth. While many dropped off their toys to the following trucks prior to the run, Rod chose to deck his motorcycle out with them. He had Santa Claus on the back too; the sleigh was obviously kept inside for the weekend. Rod was easily riding the most distinctive-looking bike on the day. Organiser Lorraine Lindsay says numbers were down slightly on previous years, but she was still amazed at the support from the public. The run started in Cambridge St, Richmond, before leading through to Trafalgar Park via Stoke. Members of the public were donating toys on the side of the road as the bikes went past. While many of the riders came from the Ulysses motorcycle club, there were also plenty of newbies on motorcycles, scooters and even one motorised bicycle. The hundreds of toys were handed over to a grateful Salvation Army at the event’s conclusion. Although Saturday’s tally was down on last year, a group of 12 came up from Hokitika to join in.

“I’m not really into pets. I had one cat and it was way too high maintenance, so I prefer not to have pets.”
“I had a Siberian Husky. I really like the nature of the dog, hard to handle, a real free spirit.”
“Not one of my childhood pets really stands out. I’m quite indifferent to them really.”
“My favourite pet is a dog (named Diesel) because they are loyal and easy going. I did a bit of pig hunting with him as well.”
Christmas tree festival bigger than ever

Lea Hart, Stoke
The Christmas Tree Festival at Nelson Cathedral continues to grow, with 39 trees now erected, making it the largest festival in its short history. The festival, now in its fourth year, opens today and will remain so until December 21. Organiser Jim Wiseman says the festival has grown in popularity with many community groups making and displaying their tree’s inside the cathedral. “We have some great looking trees again this year and we are expecting another huge turnout. It’s a really fun event and a way for the Ministry to give back to the city and the people of Nelson.” Entry to the festival is free, although donations are gratefully accepted, with some refreshments also put on for visitors. The festival is open seven days from 9am until 5.30pm, for more information call 548 1008.

Sealord’s new boat to sail in with new jobs
The Nelson Arts Guide team from left; Nic Foster, Louise Allan and Annie Leather. Close to 2000 copies of the guide have already been sold in just three months. Photo: Andrew Board.
Guide an arty success Putting together the Nelson Arts Guide has been a heck of a task for three local artists, selling it hasn’t been anywhere near as difficult though. As of this week the guide has sold just under 2000 copies, almost half of the entire stock, in just three months. The guide is only published bi-annually so organisers are thrilled with the early response. “We had it released in time for the Rugby World Cup and that certainly gave us a great start,” says Nic Foster. Now the group hope to see another 1000 copies go over the summer period and have added a couple of incentives to help tempt locals into buying it.
Each guide has a jacket with a special code; text that in and the winner will take home a Kate Gold bowl. Second place will win a night’s accommodation at Warwick House and there are also t-shirts to give away. Louise Allan says she hopes people will take advantage of the promotion and buy the guides for Christmas presents. “It’s a great gift; it looks great, a nice size and is designed like a coffee table book so can hang around for some time.” The guide, featuring 66 local artists, can be found in stores all over Nelson or by visiting www.nelson artsguide.co.nz.

Another 30 Nelsonians were officially sworn in as New Zealanders last Wednesday at a ceremony at Nelson City Council. Among the nationalities swearing allegiance to New Zealand were British, Myanmari, Italian, Romanian, Hungarian, Vietnamese, Indian, German, Canadian and Chinese.
Exactly half of the new New Zealanders were British. The ceremony, hosted by Nelson City mayor Aldo Miccio, takes place around six times a year. This year more than 230 people have been awarded New Zealand citizenship in Nelson. The next ceremony is due to take place on December 14.

Front row seats for eclipse Set your sights on the skies this weekend, as New Zealand is set to have front row seats to a spectacular total lunar eclipse. Although the Earth experiences two lunar eclipses every year, a total lunar eclipse is significantly less common. During a total lunar eclipse the moon passes completely into the Earth’s shadow and, due to the direct sunlight being blocked, the refracted beams make the moon appear red. Only the night side of the planet
will be able to witness this phenomenon, with the moon entering the Earth’s outer shadow at 12.30am NZST on December 11. The most breathtaking views will be between around 3.06am and 3.57am, as it passes through the full shadow, with the moon in the deepest shadow at 3.32am, according to the Royal Astronomical Society of New Zealand website. The next total lunar eclipse that will be visible in New Zealand will be in 2014.

Owner, Rachelle Hicks says, “I wanted to create a clean, stylish shop selling affordable items that you could visit every week and find something new. The majority of the clothes have hardly been worn, so they are in great condition; I have also been receiving a lot of original gear including handmade items and clothing bought overseas.” She also said to keep an eye out for a small selection of original, tailored jackets made by a local young designer, these are soon to be an exciting new addition to the ever-changing stock.
Carols in the Garden will also start at the same time as it was due to last Sunday, from 4pm at Gardens of the World in Hope. The three events will provide plenty of free entertainment for families this Sunday, just two weeks out from Christmas Day.

Band on national stage Nelson Intermediate band Nisc & Easy has claimed second prize in a competition dubbed the “younger brother” of Rockquest. Rockshop Bandquest is a new competition pitched at primary and intermediate school students. Entries for regional schools were sent via a video and the entry from Nelson Intermediate was good enough to have them judged second best in the nation, behind a band from Hutt Intermediate. The placing put them in the national finals, which was won by Kedgley Intermediate School in Papatoetoe. Members of the Nelson band auditioned for their place, with tutor Shane Hargreaves moulding the band every Friday afternoon. “They were all really keen and just love music, so

my job was just keeping them focused on what we were working on. They are all really talented,” says Shane. Founder and director of the new competition, Glenn Common, says the contest is the “younger brother” of Smokefreerockquest, and has been organised at the request of teachers who wanted a platform for their students to show off their musical skills. Glenn says the standard at the inaugural Bandquest has been consistently strong at contests held in Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin, Tauranga and Napier. An online contest was held for bands where no regional final took place. All videos of the finalists are now posted at the competition website, bandquest.co.nz.

Good thing we are on track for another sun title son day is reasonably hard to do without a smile on your face, because everyone else is wearing one and it is infectious. So in a town that is so heavily reliant on the weather it’s probably a good thing we are on track (once again) to be crowned the sunniest place in the country. Data throughout the year had Nelson in front early on but after challenges from Whakatane in the Bay of Plenty and our dear friends in Blenheim in recent years, we didn’t want to get too cocky.

Greeks and Italians (with jobs) to be rushing our way. Perhaps we should make a bit more of a song and dance about our sun. I understand a mayoral challenge between Nelson and Whakatane’s mayors has been laid down with the loser walking down the main street of his town with the sign reading: “Nelson/Whakatane is the sunniest’. Hopefully we get a bit more national exposure from that and we can build further awareness about our place in the sun. After all, not only is it good for our mood but also good for business. Our Town is a fortnightly column written by Nelson Weekly editor Andrew Board.
But with just 25 days of 2011 remaining and with a lead of 60 hours it is reasonably safe to say we are heading for another win. For years the claim to be the sunniest in the land has been treated as a bit of a fun title, something that was nice to have, but without too much more significance. Dare I say we should take it a bit more seriously. As the economy splutters along, New Zealanders are increasingly looking at domestic options for their holidays which is a good thing, because don’t expect those

The greenest of them all Work starts on region’s first ‘5 star rated’ green building Jonathan McKeown A new Maori immersion school is set to become the first 5 star rated green building in the top of the South Island. The new school is being designed under the Green Building Council’s green star rating system, with a 5 star rating considered New Zealand excellence. The region’s first all Maori language school will have features that include a rain water collection system, solar water heating, glazing walls which utilise the winter sun and the best insulation available, says David Grigor of Arrow International. Project and construction managers, Arrow International, refer to the rating system as “comprehensive,” but in reality the system guide is about as thick as three phone books. Overall it all adds up to an extremely smart building that is more efficient, productive, healthy to work in and less of a drain on natural resources. Establishment Board of Trustees chairperson Dayveen Stephens says the conservation and sustaining the Maori language go hand-in-hand, and the new school will be a reflection of that. “Care for the environment is huge in Maori culture. Looking after what is around us, how we can sustain that and grow what we already have,” says Dayveen. It’s not just the building that is scrutinised under the green star rating system, so are the materials and construction. All products that can be sourced locally will be used and those products will have a percentage of recycled material from reinforcing steel to insulation. An environmental management plan has been set up for the construction phase with a focus on waste minimisation. “We will set up recycling bins for metal, plaster board, plastic and
non-treated timber, which can be used for the hangi pit,” says David. Four million dollars of Ministry of Education money will fund the school, in a boost for Maori language and the local economy. Ninety per cent of the contracts have been tended, which are all local. Building consent has been granted and construction is due to start on the site next to Salisbury school in early 2012. Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Tuia te Matangi will be a composite school catering for year zero to year 13. Te Kura will educate 61 students, with all instruction in Te Reo Maori, apart from the subject of English. Students are enrolled and classes are scheduled to begin in term three next year.

The Harbour Master’s
diary
• Not such a busy week with shipping but plenty of activity to comment on. We had five container vessels or general cargo carriers, the tug Tuakana departed for Taranaki after her local refit, a large log ship, and five large fishing vessels in port. • Marina speed: There have been a lot of snapper fishermen in a rush to get to the bay; did you know that 5 knots is about normal walking speed. Three knots, the speed required in the marina is much less, it’s a speed that generally does not allow a wake to form behind your boat. • We have had discussions within the council last week and have agreed to invoke the Marina bylaws more sternly. These continue in force until the new bylaws replace them. Were you aware that in the current Marina by-law there is provision to fine someone speed in the marina $500. Please be warned and do the right thing, slow down. • The pilot boat was used to rescue an injured seaman off a fishing boat this week. • It was pleasing to read the results of the Monday night Kayak challenge. Apparently a good time was had by all those that didn’t take themselves too seriously. New paddlers are welcome with some great expertise training to be had. Monday nights at 5.15pm at the boat ramp. • Paddle boarding: It was with a great deal of disappointment that I saw on the front page of the Leader a business advertising paddle boarding without any safety equipment mentioned or any provision for weather awareness. If you are going to go paddle boarding here watch out for the currents, the winds and the cold. Always wear the safety strap to the board. If in doubt – don’t go out. Dave Duncan, Harbour Master/Marine Operations Manager.

Yesterday (5 December) was International Volunteer Day, so we’re writing to publicly thank all St John volunteers for making such a tremendous contribution to local communities over the past year. Without their dedication, skills and compassion, St John would not be able to provide the level of ambulance and community services we currently provide. We know our volunteers often go above and beyond the call of duty, putting their communities first, and we would like to acknowledge the sacrifices often made. We are delighted to join with volunteer organisations all over the world in acknowledging the vital contribution of volunteers. We would also like to thank the families, supporters and employers of our volunteers, whose support is vital to enabling our people to contribute so much. We wish you, your readers and your staff all the very best for Christmas, and thank you for your continued support of St John.

In response to Dan McGuire’s letter, firstly I’d just like to say thank you Dan for supporting amalgamation. Secondly, I’d also like to thank you for your kind words last time we met regarding Nelson City Council’s lowest rate rise in 20 years of 3.5 per cent. Council continues to strive towards and has had great success in delivering a prudent affordable council and still be able to deliver such events as Rugby World Cup and Trafalgar Park upgrades which must be mentioned was something Dan was opposed to council doing. However, in this case my role as Tasman and Nelson commission representative is to purely highlight concern in the community where those who have contacted me would like to see TDC hold off until February before they appoint a CEO. By all means TDC should possibly eventually do it in February, but just wait and see what the commission’s findings are first. Aldo Miccio, Representative of electors Local Government Commission.

An iconic cartoon vehicle was brought to life in Nelson last week as part of an end of year prank. Three building apprentices made a “Flintstone” car with wood and drums. The three students, Ben McHaffie, Levi Norris and Andrew Higgins, rolled the vehicle down Collingwood St although the end-of-year buffoonery almost backfired as the lack of a means to control the contraption proved an obstacle. “We had a bit of trouble coming up with a good steering system so we decided just to flag it,” says Levi. The guys pulled the stunt for a “bit of a laugh” but some motorists didn’t seem too thrilled to share the road with the crude vehicle. Photo: Jonathan McKeown.
TO THE EDITOR
Tasman Mayor Richard Kempthorne should be commended, as well as his entire council, for engaging in the process of selecting a new CEO. Any criticism of this move is simply uninformed. It is vital that if the two councils are amalgamated, the culture and policy of Nelson council be eliminated. Nelson has made one bad decision after another, and more are in the pipeline. Nelson council is driven by narrow vested interests that do not represent the public interest. Such culture and policy are hurting the wider community. During any transitional period resulting in amalgamation of the two council staffs, there needs to be a CEO capable of representing the public interest. It is encouraging to see Tasman moving in this direction. Tasman deserves support for its efforts. If it had failed to act, an amalgamated council would inherit the values of waste, extravagance, and undemocratic decision making that plague Nelson.

30 YEARS AGO: McCashin's Brewery owner Terry McCashin, centre, at the opening of the brewery with prime minister Robert Muldoon, left, and head brewer Jim Pollit.
Macs celebrates 30th birthday This week Macs beer celebrates its 30th birthday, but while the New Zealand-wide brand is no longer owned by the Nelson family that founded it, the brewery where it all started is still going strong. In December 1981 then-prime minister Robert Muldoon officially opened the Stoke brewery bearing the name of its owners, Terry and Bev McCashin. Terry, an ex All Black, farmer and publican, started thinking about building a brewery on the Koromiko farm, in Marlborough. In 1980, Terry's accountant sent him a note informing him that the Rochdale Cider Factory in Stoke was closing down and the plant would be available to purchase. At the closing down sale, the vendor informed him that the building housing the equipment was being sold too. Terry walked away from the auction owning not just the plant, but the buildings as well. He then managed to convince Jim Pollit, head brewer for the famed Danish firm Carlsberg, and his wife Shelia to move to Nelson to run the brewery. Next he attained, for the first time in 30 years, a licence to brew beer. It was so long ago since anyone had applied for a brewing licence – as the market was dominated by the two main breweries Lion and DB – that no one even knew where the forms were kept. Under Jim Pollit’s guidance, the brewery began producing the first unsweetened beer brewed in New Zealand for quite some time, as well as other types which had never been seen here. The beers were made using a bottom fermentation process and a yeast culture propagated every three or four weeks from the mother culture held by an outside laboratory. The major difference between this process and other beers was that it did not add sugar as a fermenting agent or priming medium to give body after the beer was brewed. The fermentation medium came from
the malted barley itself. This process originates from the German philosophy which states beer should only be made from malted barley, hops, yeast and water. The effort required to start the brewery was increased due to the only malt company in New Zealand being jointly owned by the two breweries and they would not allow their malt company manager to approve of a supply of the very necessary basic ingredient, malt. This meant a malt plant had to be built by the McCashin’s and a malter employed. The bottle situation was much the same. ABC bottles was the only company which supplied bottles in New Zealand at the time and was also jointly owned by the two big breweries. Bottles were already used for the Rochdale Cider, but ABC would delay deliveries of bottles and other such tactics which led Terry to source his own bottle – a squatter version of the Macs bottle of today. This unique bottle was a big part in the success of the Macs brand as it stood out from all the other bottles in bars and liquor stores. In 1999 Lion Nathan took over the brand and slowly started making staff redundant and scaling down operations to the point when in 2007 the beer was shipped off site to be bottled and in 2008 brewing also stopped on site and was shifted to a purpose built brewery in Wellington. From 2008 to 2009 the only occupants of the Brewery were the Lion Nathan sales reps. When the lease expired in early 2009, the McCashin family was not sure what to do with it. Dean, the oldest son of Terry and Bev, along with his wife Emma shifted to Nelson in April 2009 and re-opened the brewery. So while the Macs brand may no longer be a Nelson one, its spiritual home is back in business. McCashin’s Brewery is back producing cider and beer 30 years after it started, albeit under a different name.

A point of difference that Jennian Homes offers that you won’t find anywhere else is Studio J, at their Champion Rd offices.

You can decide on which components you would like in your house, and the total will be added as you go on an iPad, so it won’t be an unexpected surprise at the end. If you aren’t too sure of what you would like, there are colour experts to help guide you to what will create the best finish.

There has been a consistent core staff for more than five years, which has been added to as the business has expanded. The knowledge and experience that the team offers mean that you have the most support and
assistance through the design stages as well as the building of your home. The team that builds your house is also made up of only the best tradesmen. Around 15 team members work on the construction, which takes around twenty weeks depending on the design of the home. You won’t experience any hassle completing the entire process with Jennian Homes. They can take care of financing the project, and with Jennian Homes you have the comfort of paying as the work is completed rather than paying the entire sum in a large upfront payment.

The intention of Jennian Homes is to make the home building process as simple and stress free as possible. There is no chance that your home won’t be completed due to an issue with the company; once the contract is signed they have a completion guarantee. This means that if the Jennian Homes branch that you sign the contract with goes under, another branch from the national franchise will step in to make sure your dream home comes to fruition. This won’t be a problem though; with

Fairfield House Historic House & Gardens Iconic Fairfield House is celebrating a new lease of life after recently undergoing $110,000 worth of repairs. Restored by the efforts of Friends of Old Fairfield (FOOF), those involved say they are happy in the knowledge that the house will continue to be enjoyed by the community for many more decades. After falling into disrepair during the 1970's, a pending demolition order spirited bold actions by Alan Stanton and friends which raised regional attention to the plight of Fairfield. From a strong community response, Friends of Old Fairfield Inc.

Nelson College finish in top two at national sevens Nelson College scored several major upsets to make the national final of the BNZ Condor Sevens competition over the weekend. Nelson beat rugby powerhouses Rotorua Boys High School and Auckland Grammer in the quarter and semi-finals before losing to Kelston Boys High School 26-19 in the final. Richard Kaisia, Steven Soper and Jackson Harvey scored for Nelson College, playing against the defending champions, who were much bigger than the brave Nelson boys. Steven Soper capped off a terrific year, being named in the tournament team, which will train under New Zealand seven’s super coach Gordon Tietjens. Nelson was unlucky that Steven was the only representative in the side. Coach Andrew Goodman says the tourna-
ment was a huge success for the team. “It was a great achievement but when you get to a final, you want to finish it off so there is a little disappointment there, but the boys are very proud of what they achieved.” He says the squad worked hard in the build up to the tournament. “The boys have been working pretty hard, it was their fitness and the way they played as a team that got them through to the final. As the day progressed we started to realise how competitive we were.” He says he hopes the result will flow onto next year’s 15-a-side Press Cup competition. “It shows they can compete with the best in New Zealand, hopefully it will carry over to the fifteen’s next year.” Sixteen schools qualified for the national championships.

The Nelson Softball Association enjoys “some of the best softball facilities in New Zealand” and has a strong player base with 14 senior teams. Forty youth teams play a mix of T-Ball, Playball and fast pitch depending on the age of participants. Photo: Jonathan McKeown.

Forget WWE, we have SCW Phillip Rollo
Justice Sharpe’s signature move is the sit-down spine buster, while D-Mac finishes with a bridged Indian death-lock. But they are training regularly to perfect a catalogue of wrestling moves and techniques. Duncan says there is a lot of choice about future suitors, but it is not until you reach the United States of America that it starts paying off financially. “We’re lucky because technically we’re starting at the bottom. So anywhere for us, we can go to Wellington if we’re good enough, we can go to up to Auckland if we’re good enough.” Wrestling in Auckland is televised on a local TV channel. But first they must survive each other this Saturday night at 6pm.
It takes a real man to enter a wrestling ring surrounded by 200 die-hard Blenheim fans exhausting their lungs as you are thrown around in a pair of yellow tights. But for Nelson’s Justice Sharpe and D-Mac it’s definitely worth the trip over the Whangamoa for. Rhys Walsh, aka Justice Sharpe, and Duncan McDougall, aka D-Mac, are Southern Championship Wrestling’s sole performers from the Nelson region, and they’re set to take on each other in the “King of Nelson exhibition match” at Rock ‘N’ Wrestle this Saturday at Marlborough Boys College Hall. Rhys says he originally began wrestling when he was trying to get into shape, and a friend “out of the blue” mentioned Blenheim’s SCW. The pair were trained by Nelson’s Sam MacMillan, who recently spent three months in Canada under the tuition of former WWE wrestler Lance Storm. “He taught us absolutely everything we know. Sam is like the perfect wrestling package, not to get really weird about it, but he’s a tank, he’s got all the moves; he can do high flying, he can do power. He could man-handle me and I’m triple digit weight,” says Rhys. Wrestling Marlborough fighters on their home turf means the pair are often competing against the audience too. “You go out there and you never know what you’re going to get from the crowd. You just have to go with it really,” says Duncan. There had been talk about bringing a show to Nelson, but without a trailer to transport the ring, it is currently unlikely., although the duo would love a bit of home support every now and then. Rhys and Duncan have always wanted to be wrestlers since they were kids and they both have a joint admiration of WWE wrestler Chris Jericho. “Since I Nelson westlers Rhys Walsh, aka Justice Sharpe, puts was a kid that’s all I wanted to do.

Nayland College’s Angus Riley clubs the ball en route to a stellar 111 not out against Waimea College Wizards at Greenmeadows on Saturday. Electing to bat, Nayland College’s credible 248 runs looked reasonably safe thanks to Angus’ power-hitting. Angus rocketed six sixes, including one far into the tennis courts. But Waimea were upbeat in their approach with the bat, despite conceding 61 extras with the ball. The stand out performance with the bat for the away side came from Sam Munslow who made 68. He was ably assisted by Fox Slotemaker 40 not out, as the Wizards pulled one out of the hat to reach their total with seven overs and four wickets to spare. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Locals can’t catch Chch speedway drivers Round two of the ELF Super Cup wasn’t any sweeter for Nelson’s super saloon drivers. Nelson’s top two challengers, Ian Burson and Shane Carey, surrendered to the middle of the track before the night’s end, handing victory to the impressive Josh Boulton. Shane showed form of old as he demanded his way to the front of the 16car field, sitting in second place during
the 25-lap thriller. But losing a wheel on lap 17 dented his chances of catching the Christchurch driver and his night was over. The final race of the night was not short on drama with four restarts keeping the crowd nervous. But Josh wasn’t to be denied, finishing ahead of Kane Lawson, Ray Stewart, Richie Taylor and lone Nelson survivor Mark Carey across the line.
The ELF Super Cup has three rounds remaining, in Christchurch and Dunedin with the final scheduled round for Cromwell. Nelson speedway resumes in two week’s time on December 17 with the Xmas Xtravaganza, featuring the club championships for sidecars and superstocks, round two of the TQ midget champs and a hit-to-pass promotion for stockcars.

Control insect pests in your home or business with an Ecomist Automatic dispenser loaded with a black can of Ecomist Insect Killer with Natural Pyrethrins. The intelligent dispenser, which has a light sensor for lower output at night, releases small amounts of natural pyrethrins (derived from the Chrysanthemum daisy) into the air. The pyrethrins flush, kill and repel most flying and crawling insects. Once your area is clear of insects, the regular bursts of extremely fine mist form a repellent barrier that keeps insects out. Natural pyrethrins break down quickly in sunlight preventing insecticide build-up in your home.
