Don’t suck joy from school, says principal Tahunanui School principal Paul Drummond has fired off a plea to the government as he prepares to leave for the capital: “Don’t suck the joy out of school.” Paul has been elected president of the New Zealand Principals’ Federation, taking up his new full-time role in January. The job means a year away from his family and school as he will commute to his new office in Wellington each week. But ahead of his arrival to the home of the country’s lawmakers, Paul told Waimea

want to get in a fight with the government, he would rather be diplomatic and talk through the issues. Although his stance is clear; he would like to see the government backtrack on the policy that has galvanised principals and teachers around the country in opposition to it. He says his new role will be about giving principals a voice, and that is more input in to education
policy. “We [the federation] get criticised because we are political but that’s what we are advocating for, political issues – why wouldn’t we be? We are increasing critical; I don’t think we need to make any apologies about that.” Paul has spent six years on the executive board for the federation, two years as secretary and is currently its vice-president.

Fan zones next for RWC fans

It’s business time as the Rugby World Cup playoffs loom, and despite all the games being held in the North Island, locals will still get a piece of the action. The pool matches are done and dusted, but once the quarter finals have concluded, Nelson and Motueka will again hit fever pitch. Both centres are hosting fan zones and will screen all the semi final and final action live. You can be at the heart of the action and watch the finals on a massive 20 foot screen in Nelson’s fan zone at the top of Trafalgar St or at the Motueka Recreation Centre. Although food and soft drinks can be taken into the perimeter of the fan zone, glass, alcohol and BYO alcohol will not be allowed. So, come on down and get in the zone, urge organisers. Regardless of which teams are playing, the atmosphere will be electric, they say. Fan zones start on October 15.

“It’s relaxing. I’ve got vegetables, flowers - the lot. I would definitely read a gardening column.”
“I’m not really in to gardening, no. I’ve got a little wee patch that my boy was in to, but he’s not living with us at the moment.”
“I use my herb garden a lot. There’s rosemary, thyme, mint and lemon grass. It’s great having a garden at home.”
“I don’t get in there as much as I probably should do. We’ve got a few veges; radishes, cabbages, carrots, peas. It’s great, it saves a bit of money too.”
Don’t suck joy from school FROM PAGE 1 organisation which represents 2147 of the country’s principals, more than 90 percent. National Standards aims to measure students in key subjects including maths and English. Those results are then passed onto parents so they can gauge the rate at which their child is learning. It will bring more accountability to teachers and schools, says education minister Anne Tolley. But Paul says it is a “low trust, top down model” that has disenfranchised schools. “They want to somehow drive more out of the system but you’re not going to get more out of teachers, schools and parents by waving a big stick and demanding more. If you involve them about how we can
make it better, isn’t that more likely to get the outcomes that we want? “We feel the voice of the profession is being ignored and trivialised by the government. The argument has big appeal, because who doesn’t want to lift achievement? But they are going about it the wrong way.” Paul says he will push those issues and others facing principals when he moves into his new role. “It is exciting and balanced with a healthy bit of anxiety and trepidation because I’ll be away from my family and school for long periods of the year. But it will be exciting for me personally and I’m looking forward to it.” Paul says he is looking forward to working with the new government after this year’s election, be it either National or Labour.
Heavy rain floods Waimea river

Tasman’s latest deluge of rain has put the Waimea River on a flood scale you would expect only once every three years, says Tasman District Council. The Waimea river at the Appleby bridge peaked at 830m3 per second on Monday, a volume that is expected once every three years, says TDC analytical hydrologist Matt McLarin. Over the MondayTuesday period there had been 200mm of rain in the Richmond ranges at the top of the Wairoa river and
120mm on the Waimea plains over the same time frame. The statistic is still down from May 26 of this year when the river had a flood of 1073m3 per second.

A group of Waimea College learning centre students will literally be building on their success following a successful trade experience unit. Ten students were involved in the building of a shed which is being tendered and sold on TradeMe and all the money raised will go towards new tools and new materials for the next project. Trade-Ex was the brainchild of Learning Centre teacher Trent Dallimore, who says some of the less academic students needed some “hands on work” and experience to give them a kick start in the trade industry. “The boys that I had needed something a little extra. They actually gained a lot of real-world experience,” says Trent. Waimea College’s Learning Centre has been running the trade experience programme since the beginning of Term 2. It began with a pinecone pick to raise funds for materials and equipment. Experienced builder Ken Ferris jumped on board to lend some wise skills and all his knowledge. Kent Gibbons from Waimea Saw millers has been a major factor in enabling the programme to run, says Trent.

Health ‘complex’ opens its doors The Lower Queen St Health Centre is officially open for operation. Minister of Health Tony Ryall, along with National MP Nick Smith, Tasman District Mayor Richard Kempthorne and members of the centre unveiled the building on Friday midday. Construction started in October last year on the 2400 square metre, twostorey health centre next to Oakwood Retirement Village, and was originally due for completion on July 1. Housed in the Lower Queen St Health Clinic are; Vanilla bean café, Medlab South, Fry’s pharmacy, Matthew’s Eyewear Eye Care, Hearing Advantage,
Tasman Medical Centre, Specialists @ Lower Queen St, Richmond Physiotherapy and Healthcare New Zealand. The multi-million dollar centre is the result of a collaborative approach to providing for Richmond’s growing health needs, funded entirely by private investment. The centre’s spokesperson, Ben Castle, believes the provision of a broad range of health services under one roof is the best model both for patients and providers. “It provides excellent synergies for health professionals working Nick Smith, Richard Kempthorne, Tony Ryall, owners Ben Castle, Mike Roberts, Stephen together towards a better health care Neas, Llyn Powell, Garth Smith, Sue Marren, Alan Powell, Andy Dawson and Ed Shepard model,” says Ben. at the opening of Lower Queen St Health Clinic.

Big Brothers Big Sisters has been such a hit at Henley School its principal John Armstrong says its turned the area, between the schools, in to a campus. Waimea College students have been mentoring Henley School students in various activities over the past year and the relationship has been hugely beneficial for both schools. “It has a real campus feel to it now. Just last week we had students going over to the college for a performance and one girl spotted her mentor in the crowd and waved out to her,” says John. The thirteen mentors were recognised with a morning tea and a certificate late last week.

Payless expands to Nelson Payless has extended to Nelson, opening an outlet store in the old Briscoes building in Achilles Ave. The store has a permanent site by the lights on Gladstone Rd in Richmond but has taken a four month lease of the new site, bringing their quality products with bargain prices to the heart of Nelson says manager Wendy Hunt. “This is an outlet store; we are bringing our top 1500 lines here and offering great prices for Nelson folk without them having to travel to Richmond.” Payless is not just about plastics either says Wendy, with huge lines of food products,
books, gaming, sheets and towels, camping equipment, electrical products like toasters and plenty of storage products. The new store is open seven days a week and Wendy hopes Nelson people will take advantage of the new store. “We are here for four months and have options to extend, but at the moment we are just seeing how it works. We know a lot of people from Nelson travel to the Richmond store but we also know there is a lot that don’t, so hopefully we’ll see some new faces.” To check out the huge range of stock Payless have moved into their new store. pop in and pay them a visit or give them a call on 546 Payless manager Wendy Hunt and staffer Uvonne Dennison outside the new 7370.

NEWS IN BRIEF TDC TO EXTEND: The Tasman District Council is to go ahead with planned building renovations and extensions. Approval to accept the recommended tender was given at a special council meeting Thursday afternoon. The works will include strengthening and renovation of the 1962 building which has been identified as requiring major earthquake strengthening. Further work will provide more office space to answer the long discussed overcrowding and to bring the staff currently spread about in different buildings into one. LOOK OUT FOR PHONE SCAM: If you receive a phone call on your mobile from any person, saying that he or she is a company engineer, or telling that they’re checking your mobile line, and you have to press #90 or #09 or any other number, end this call immediately without pressing any numbers. There is a fraud company using a device that once you press #90 or #09 they can access your ‘SIM’ card and make calls at your expense.

Traffic lights erected to increase flow on Salisbury Tasman District Council and Waimea College are confident that a new set of traffic lights will help ease the flow of traffic on Salisbury Rd. The project was given the green light after several years of planning and a 10 percent increase of traffic congestion. More than 15,000 vehicles a
year use Salisbury Rd, according to the TDC and it was this reason, along with Waimea College’s concern for safety outside the special education department, that placed the project on high urgency. Council is funding 50 percent of the cost of installing the new signals and markings from its

Bomb squad at college Scooter enthusiasts set to tackle region’s roughest roads The thought of riding on some of the roughest roads in the region has Neil Albury smiling. But the thought of doing it on a scooter brings a slight wince to his face. Neil is one of the newbies, signing up for the second Survivor Scooter Challenge that will see a group of people ride, off road, from Marlborough, through Nelson and Tasman and finish on the West Coast. Founder Jason Monopoli says the challenge is for anyone and everyone, with many of the starters not motorbike riders. Neil says he signed up for the challenge for a bit of fun and to try something new. “I’m in to this sort of thing and when I saw it I thought it looked like great fun, and with great people, so I gave Jason an email and here we go.” Neil bought the scooter locally and took it to Morley Motorcycles for a tune up before the race this month.

The security team for the Rugby World Cup exploded into Waimea College last week. The team - made up of mainly Cantabrians, featured a dog handler, armed offenders and bomb detonation staff - demonstrated their capabilities in front of Waimea College special education and Salisbury School students. Students spent the beginning of the day trying on bulletproof armoury - some weighing up to 40kg. Christchurch Airport dog
sniffer Luca showed off his clever skills, able to find a replica bomb just by scent. Waimea College special education teacher Ed Book says the day was a fantastic opportunity for both students and the security team. “It was pretty split though, some liked Luca and the other liked the robot,” says Ed. “It was a great opportunity to see what they actually did. It was really neat.” They were here for Nelson’s final two matches.

Science behind the art College student wins big at regional Science Fair Science Fair chief judge Des Duthie says passion and effort were the key factors in selecting Aliesha Shutte as the winner for 2011. The Cawthron Nelson Science and Technology Fair awards were held at Broadgreen Intermediate School on Friday evening and it was Tasman schools which dominated the major results. Aliesha, of Waimea College, discovered the effect of exposure on the emotion exhibited by a photograph and Des says her effort in a “very difficult concept” made her stand above the rest. Using the same ISO and aperture, Aliesha took a photo of a blank piece of paper with different shutter speeds looking for the speed that would show the most detail and colour variancy. She then used a histogram to show the lightest point and darkest point in the photo. “I’m really in to photography and it annoys me when people use Photoshop. It doesn’t matter if the photo they take is bad, they just fix them up. So I just wanted to show how people can get good photos without using Photoshop,” says Aliesha. “I was experimenting with the shutter speed on the quality of the photo and so if you have a really long shutter speed it will be really bright, so it was just to find the right balance.” Aliesha says her experiment has actually helped her immensely understanding her camera and its abilities and was rather surprised to take home the winning trophy. “I was really excited, really
surprised though. I was originally doing it for the credits.” The 18 year-old scooped three awards on the night and took home a total of $900 for her efforts. Although she says she is interested in doing medicine when she is older, the year 13 student says she is not a “super keen scientist. I would definitely encourage people to try it though, even if it’s just to meet cool people at the science fair.” Des says the number of schools holding their own fair has increased dramatically. “We actually limit the number of entries to 120 each year and it’s oversubscribed by three times that. With so many schools taking part but only a limit on places it has really increased the quality of entries.” While there was not a common theme among entries in 2011, Des says most of the participants chose to investigate something a little closer to home than in other years. Nayland College students; Mitchell Chandler’s ‘Gard Against the Frost’ and Cadence Nikkel’s ‘The Tasteful Life of Birds’ both shared the award for runner up in the overall senior category. Joshua Venables of Henley School took out best overall best junior with his Nerd Fun with Nerf Guns experiment. Des is standing down as organiser after ten years involved in the competition and is take up a head of science role at a school in the Cook Islands.

Cycle trail gains boat leg New Zealand’s cycle trail ambassador Sarah Ulmer and Tasman mayor Richard Kempthorne took to their bikes on Sunday to officially open the new 6.8km section of Tasman’s Great Taste Trail that runs through Rabbit Island. The new section of cycle trail, which is suitable for all ages and fitness levels, runs from the entrance to Rabbit Island through to the Mapua estuary, where a brand new ferry has been built to transport cyclists and walkers across to Mapua’s bustling wharf area. Tasman’s Great Taste Trail is a joint project between the Nelson Tasman Cycle Trails Trust, Tasman District Council and The New Zealand Cycle Trail. The trail’s overall objective is to create a 175km cycle trail in a loop around Tasman from Nelson, passing through Mapua, Motueka, Riwaka, Ngatimoti, Tapawera, Kohatu, Belgrove, Wakefield and Brightwater and back to Richmond. New Zealand Cycle Trail Programme Manager John Dunn says Rabbit Island has been a popular daytrip for some time and it’s great to see that both locals and visitors alike will now have the chance to enjoy more riding on the island thanks to the new trail and cycle-friendly ferry service. Funding has so far been secured for the Nelson, Richmond, Mapua and Brightwater sections of the trail.
Are you managing your weight but not your appetite? Try Clinicians SlimWaist. For many people weight management is a series of ups and downs. SlimWaist can break this cycle. Clinicians SlimWaist contains an extract from the edible succulent Caralluma adscendens var. fimbriata, a natural ingredient for appetite management that has been used for hundreds of years in India and also in Pakistan, the Canary Islands, Arabia, Southern Europe and Sri Lanka. Tribal hunters would chew on plant stalks as a substitute for food and water and were able to maintain energy and endurance throughout the day without feeling tired or fatigued hence it's known as the famine food. Caralluma contains pregnane glycosides which are thought to provide support. And for another rewarding step join the free SlimWaist Club www.slimwaist.co.nz

Gr wing Things
With Robyn Hollis
Tips
In the words of a popular song... ‘where do I begin’! I really should talk about Spring. It is such a lovely time of year and this one is no exception. I have just come in from a long walk with Cruze [my dog] and along the Railway Reserve it is a mass of colour and fragrance. The colour is from one of my favourite spring flowering trees, the amazing deciduous Magnolias. Thought to be one of the oldest of the true flowering plants, they come originally from Asia (especially China and Japan) but they have certainly made their presence felt here in Nelson. Some of my favourites are the old fashioned Magnolia soulangeana and some of the
modern hybrids from the Campbellii are quite stunning also. Vulcan, Black Tulip, Star Wars, and my all-time favourite Felix. Could not resist this photo from such a small tree.

the other morning – so although I do not spray much I will have to use the Mavrik or Shield for a first hit. Mavrik is kinder to the bees but Shield is a systemic spray which gets into the plant and means less spraying in the long run. Super Shield is also good but is only a contact spray which means you will have to spray a little more often. • Always spray in the early morning before the sun, wind (and bees) come out. You can add a spray fixitive to your mix but always, when all else fails, read the instructions! Do not be tempted to add more when spraying – the right amount is important, you will not get a better “kill” with a stronger mix and you run the risk of burning new foliage.

Having reopened in June, Flat Rock Café is under the new ownership and has undergone major renovations. The building was established in the late Nineteenth Century and was formerly well known as a hotel and bar. Much of the original charm has been preserved, while the extensions and upgrades maintain the rustic country feel. They have a large car park leading to the sundrenched courtyard dining area, through to either the dining room or the verandah, where you can enjoy the sun and the views.

The feedback that the couple has received so far is very positive. Their intention is to create a place that feels personal and serves great quality, fresh food that supports local suppliers, with an affordable price to match. The diners all respond positively to the inviting atmosphere and friendly staff. You only need to come once to realise why they already have so many return customers. They are open every day, on Monday through to Thursday from ten until four, and Friday through to Sunday from ten until six onwards, staying open later through the weekend if customers are still dining.

David Preston offers both acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicines treating a range of injuries, illnesses and health concerns. David is a fully qualified acupuncturist and has spent years training both in New Zealand and in China. The range of ailments that patients come to David for treatment for is wide. Digestive problems, constipation, acid reflux, urinary problems, depression, sleeping disorders, fatigue, allergies, menstrual disorders, joint pain, respiratory disorders and high or low blood pressure to mention a few. David says that acupuncture is absolutely outstanding for back pain, arthritis, and sciatica as well as headaches and stress relief. But he says “Often the conditions people come for are quite vague. People know they are unwell and can’t put a finger on it. They just feel that things aren’t right and that their health is deteriorating.” David spends a lot of time with them, asking lots of questions. In the end ‘nine times out of ten’ the treatment is very simple. David treats with a combination of acupuncture, massage and Traditional Chinese Medicine, which has been around and evolving for 2500 years, looking beyond the symptoms to the root cause of a condition.

Just for fun!
1. Body: Make a medium sized ball and flatten the bottom. 2. Head: Make a small ball and press it onto one end of the body. Use a drop of water to help it stick if needed. 3. Wings: Make a small ball and flatten it to make a flat circle. Cut the circle in half. Press half of the circle onto one side of the ladybug’s body and the other half onto the other half of the body. Spread them open a bit over the body so the body is showing between the two half circles. For the spots on the wings, make 6 tiny balls, flatten them to make tiny circles and press them onto the wings. 4. Legs: Roll out 6 thin, short snakes and press them under the body. 5. Mouth: Take a plastic knife and indent into the center of the head for an open mouth. 6. Eyes: Make 2 tiny balls, flatten them to make tiny circles and press them onto the head. Make 2 more tiny balls for pupils and lightly press them on top of the flattened circles.

Volleyball HQ right here in Richmond New Zealand’s head office for one of the world’s largest sports can’t be found in Wellington, Auckland or even Christchurch. Volleyball New Zealand calls Richmond home. The head office of the sport moved to Richmond about 18 months ago after its general manager, Hope resident Pam Brodie, told the board she had enough of commuting to the capital and was returning full time to Nelson. She said they could either move the office with her, or find a replacement. The board opted for the former and now employs two locals with another two part time staff in Christchurch. Pam says having the office in Richmond is a big deal for the region and shows that any sporting code can operate from anywhere. “I hated going to Wellington, I was the mother in the back room, living with my son and his partner and I hated spending my week in Wellington. When
I’d fly home on a Friday night I just loved coming back.” She says the future of the sport in New Zealand is through beach volleyball, as it is too tough to find 16 top and dedicated athletes, in an amateur sport, to take on the world’s super powers who have all the resources in the world. “But we can produce two outstanding beach volleyball players, and the goal is to start getting some of those teams to the Olympics.” Pam – who remarkably is married to the president of New Zealand Volleyball, Allan Brodie – is joined in her Nelson office by operations manager Julie Carpinter. She says the sport is “sustainable” in this country but only gets a limited grant from the government, via SPARC. Pam says Tasman has a strong bond with volleyball and is one of the top performing regions in New Zealand, so it is a nice fit that it’s HQ is also here. “Tasman punches well above its weight in volleyball.”

Three Nelson girls score Mainland Pride selection Three of the region’s top women footballers say competing against boys during the winter had primed them for ASB Women’s Youth League selection, and hope to show a new physical side in the upcoming season. Fourteen year-old Juliana Los has been selected in the Mainland Pride squad along with last season’s players Lara Malcolm and Young Football Fern defender Emily Jensen. Lara says playing the winter season for Suburbs Blue Crew in the Robbie’s Bar & Bistro 17th grade against male counterparts has seen them take their physical game to the next level. “For me personally, in the women’s league I don’t get much action in goal,” says the 17 year-old goal keeper. “Against the boys I have to be on my game a lot more and it’s a lot busier. It’s also a much higher level of football compared to what we get here and I’m quite excited to be actually playing this year.” Juliana and Lara also play for Nelson College for Girls, while Emily, 16, attends Waimea College. Emily is currently away with the Young Football Ferns in a three match series with Australia in Auckland.
The ASB Women’s Youth League is the premier women’s football competition in New Zealand and the girls agree it’s the best way to make a name for themselves while they are still at secondary school. “It’s really exciting,” says Juliana, a central midfielder. “I just want to prove myself, up my game and play to a higher level. Basically just to develop as a footballer. I aspire to that and hopefully one day soon I will make a New Zealand team.” Juliana is the youngest member of the team that will compete in the Southern Conference of this season’s ASB Women’s Youth League, but packs a punch in the middle of the park despite her small frame. “I do my best,” she says. Last season Lara was based in Christchurch over the summer holidays, but with the 2011 edition to be played between October and December to align with the ASB Youth League, the girls will have to commute between cities. Mainland Pride finished third in the Southern Conference last year and the girl’s are hoping to go one better this season and make the playoffs. Mainland Pride open their league account against Capital on October 15 in Christchurch.

Speedway ready to roar There will be plenty of fireworks on and off the track as the Top of the South Speedway opens its gate later this month. The open night, on October 29, will also double as the Guy Fawkes evening and race fans can expect an action packed season with the biggest production class numbers in recent history. Club president Christine Carpenter says Stockcar numbers have increased dramatically after the announcement that the 2012/13 New Zealand Superstock Championship will be held in Nelson. But this season, the might and speed of the super saloons will be doing it in the dirt at the Top of the South Speedway.
On January 13 the New Zealand Super Saloon Championship will take place in Nelson. “This is huge,” says Christine. “It’s the premier event, so it’s really good that it’s in Nelson.” Ian Burson and the Carey brothers – Shane and Mark – will all be in with a sniff for the championship. Christine says the speedway calendar has been shortened due to the Rugby World Cup, but it means that there will always be a significant trophy up for grabs. “Every single race meeting is an event, it’s not just a meeting.” Gates open on October 29 at Ian Burson races his new super saloon as the lead up to the Top of the South Speedway nears closer. 5:30pm with races set to com- The 2011/12 season is highlighted by the New Zealand Super Saloon Championship on January 13.

Navigation Safety Action: Extension of Temporary Reservation of wastewater pipeline corridor across Waimea Inlet between Bells Island and Monaco Pursuant to provisions of the Tasman District Council Navigation Safety Bylaw 2005 (Amended 2006) and the Local Government Act 1974, the Tasman District Council and Nelson Harbourmasters granted a temporary reservation to March Civil Ltd of a corridor of the waters of Waimea Inlet between Bells Island, Saxton Island and Monaco, for the installation and maintenance of a wastewater pipeline between 14 February 2011 and 20 October 2011. Due to unanticipated delays, this has been extended until 31 January 2012. The effect of the temporary reservation is to allow contractors involved in the project to control access to or across the reserved area, including defining or closing navigable channels for small craft, in the interests of safety. Closures will be notified by signage at Best Island, Rabbit Island, Monaco and Akersten Street boat ramps, and by broadcast on local marine radio stations from time to time. Sheet piles will be temporarily installed. These will be marked with yellow retroreflective tape in most cases, with those defining the available channel(s) for navigation showing port or starboard lateral mark characteristics. Usual hours of work on the project will be 7.00 am to 6.00 pm, but navigation restrictions may be in force at any time. Mariners are required to observe and use only the marked route(s) across the reserved area, and take care that their wake, speed or proximity does not cause risk of harm to contractors (who may be involved in underwater operations), or risk of damage to structures including equipment and pipes. A number of other conditions have been imposed on March Civil Ltd, which may be viewed by contacting either the Harbourmaster on Ph. 03 543 8433/027 246 1904 e-mail: harbourmaster@tasman.govt.nz or Gary Kennedy of March Civil Ltd during office hours.
