The fastest OPEN way down DAY Leaky library may be demolished Page 14
Henley School’s leaky library is so badly damaged by water that it may have to be demolished, only ten years after it was opened. Principal, John Armstrong, initiated an investigation into the water-tightness of the $984,000 library and learning centre soon after he arrived at the school in 2009. A preliminary inspection suggested that about half of the framing timber was water-damaged and that the 300 square
Page 22 - 23
metre building needed to be “remediated”. But when the cladding and roof were removed at the end of last term, the damage was found to be far more widespread and John says the building may not be worth salvaging. “They took some panels off and exposed the framing and measured the moisture content and found that 50 per cent of it had rot or water damage,” John says. “At that stage they were looking at remedia-

the future of the building that remains closed and is surrounded by scaffolding and plastic, weather-proof wrap. He says the board of trustees has written to the ministry recommending that the building be demolished a new one constructed. “It was opened in 2004 and 10 years later it’s ready to go on the scrap heap. It’s probably going to be cheaper and faster to start

Walk with Us raises $13,000

Spurred on by a stirring speech from Stoke School principal Pete Mitchener, June Ferguson was happily the highest bidder for a campervan trip at the Walk with Us charity auction last week. The auction raised $13,000 in total for the trust, which gives school or sports shoes to needy students from various local schools. The main auction item was a ten day trip around the South Island in a campervan from Discover NZ. June bid $1500 for it as a surprise 60th birthday present for her husband. But having a photo in the paper meant she had to confess to the auction win and ruin the surprise. “He was happy, though,” she says. Trust president Carole Shirley says the auction was a huge success and the trust wanted to thank Nelson for supporting it. “We were pretty impressed with how much we raised, and we’re now looking at widening the number of schools that we go to because we now have enough money to go further.” Currently, the trust will accept applications for shoes from Auckland Point, Victory, Birchwood, Stoke, Henley and Wakefield schools. Stoke School principal Pete Mitchener spoke emotionally at the auction about the joy and pride the shoes give the students.

“I think the people involved do a very good job. Around three years ago, during school holidays, I noticed the beaches were dirtier but over the last couple of years it has gotten a lot better.”
“Compared with a lot of other countries around the world our beaches are good, however, I have seen an increase in rubbish due to the amount of takeaway foods available.”
“Our beaches are very clean compared with others around the world. I have been to the beaches in the United States and our beaches are a lot cleaner than theirs.”
“I love our beaches and I haven’t seen much litter on them, they are pretty good.”

again rather than try and remediate this one. “Whatever happens, we want to get on with it because we would like our learning centre back. The builders have also told me it’s costing $20,000 a month to keep the scaffold and shrink wrap around the building so that’s money that’s being wasted.” John says he is not surprised the learning centre leaked because it had a “modernistic design with a flat-roof and no eaves”. When he arrived at Henley he noticed water
marks on the ceiling and asked the board to fund a preliminary inspection of the building. It is the second leaky building at Henley after the water-damaged administration block was remediated earlier this year. John also warned that Henley wasn’t the only school in Nelson with leaky building problems. “We are the first Nelson school to go through this process but we won’t be the last.” The Ministry of Education had earlier stated that there were 13 blocks in four schools around Nelson in the leaky building programme.

Small lifestyle block owners on the Waimea Plains are likely to pay less towards the proposed Waimea Community Dam after public consultation highlighted “equity and fairness” issues of the funding options for the $74.6 million project. The dam is designed to store water for irrigation and urban and industrial users and last month the Tasman District Council released figures showing how much it would cost ratepayers and irrigators. However, chief executive Lindsay McKenzie told the Waimea Weekly last Thursday that council is likely to review the funding models because many small lifestyle block holders don’t want or need extra water for irrigation. “We have had some people present their personal circumstance and, on the face of it, the options don’t treat them fairly,” Lindsay says. “The relatively small life style blocks, without crops or resource consents, are being treated the same on a per hectare basis as a production horticultural operation so we are going to have to turn our minds to the equity and
Simon Bloomberg

simon@waimeaweekly.co.nz
fairness of the models for that group.” Tasman mayor, Richard Kempthorne, agrees the public meetings on the dam are highlighting a number of valid concerns about the funding options and council will listen to those concerns. “I have been quite encouraged by the constructive discussions we have had with people at the meetings and they are raising issues that the council needs to consider as we move forward. When we go out with the initial proposal it’s bound to need some changes and that will be the real value of the consultation process - finding the things that we need to address to put into the long term plan.” A report by the Nelson Regional Economic Development Agency reaches the same conclusion saying the “main obstacle to the project going ahead is not in its economic worth but in the economic viability for those who stand to gain from the dam”. The report
says the proposal to charge a flat rate per hectare irrigated is “administratively simple but produces high costs relative to the margins of some current land uses”. Although public consultation is showing that there is a lot of concern about the cost of the project and how it will be funded, Richard says the majority of people recognise that it is important for the district. He says “there is a realisation of the acceptance of the need to put in a dam” and that the big issue facing the community is the dam’s affordability. Richard conceded that some form of government funding would “certainly be really, really important” for the project’s viability. The council will be approaching government with a “package” before Christmas and he hopes that they can secure either a grant or low interest loan to reduce the cost. The last two public meetings about the dam will be held in the Murchison Recreation Centre next Monday from 5.30pm and in the Richmond council chambers next Wednesday from 1pm to 4pm.

Giving kids fizzy is ‘neglect’ Giving sugary drinks to children should be classed as neglect, says the head of the region’s district health board. Chris Fleming, the chief executive of the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board, made the comments in an email to leaders of government departments and other organisations to encourage them to introduce a ban on sugary drinks. Nelson City Council and the DHB have already introduced a policy banning the sale of sugary drinks at events they run and premises they manage, and Chris says
he’d like to see other organisations adopt a similar policy. “The damage that sugar-sweetened beverages is doing to our children, from both an oral health and an obesity perspective, is simply unacceptable,” wrote Chris. “Personally, I think that providing our children with access to these products should be seen as neglect.” The email was sent to those in various organisations, including Sport Tasman, Tasman District Council, Police, Department of Conservation, Primary Health Organi-
Andrew Board Editor
andrew@nelsonweekly.co.nz sation, Ministry of Education, Department of Internal Affairs, Work and Income, NMIT, IRD and several others. He says that he’d like to see local schools also adopt the policy and stood by his statements when questioned by Waimea Weekly. “Neglect is a harsh word, but if you under-
stand the implications it’s having on the oral health standards and the obesity issue, I think we need to be aware of what we’re subconsciously giving our children,” he says. “When you see the photos of young kids and their teeth, it’s just appalling and completely unnecessary.” Chris says he’d like to see all schools ban sugary drinks on their premises and for the top of the south to take the lead on the issue. TDC has ruled out a ban at this stage but has said it will look at it again.

Shop ‘n Win – the competition that gives $5000 to one lucky shopper – is now open. Waimea Weekly advertising manager, Sue Davies, says there has already been a great response from the public. “Last year there were over 70,000 entries, and judging by the enthusiasm with which it’s been received, we wouldn’t be surprised if it exceeds that this year,” she says. Shop ‘n Win is run by Waimea Weekly, Richmond Mall and the participating businesses, and gives one lucky shopper a chance to win $5000 for Christmas, a wel-
come addition to the festive season funds. All shoppers need to do is purchase something from one of the participating stores and fill out an entry form. The business also has a chance to win with $1500 up for grabs, and the icing on the cake, $2500 worth of Richmond Mall vouchers, is set to be given away half-way through the five week promotion. Selected stores in Richmond and the Richmond Mall are taking part, a full list of the retailers can be found in this issue. Shop ‘n Win will be running until November 30, so there is plenty of opportunity to go into the draw.

Volunteers pick up 4 tonnes of rubbish from our beaches Hundreds of people showed how much they value our beautiful beaches by joining in the annual Big Beach Clean-up on Saturday, picking up 3.93 tonnes of rubbish. The biggest community conservation project in the region is organised by the Department of Conservation, in partnership with Nelson City Council, Tasman District Council and Nelmac. It includes the cleanup of approximately 50 beaches within the region. Over 350 volunteers collected 3.93 tonnes of rubbish from an astounding 293 kilometres of coastline between Cable Bay and Marahau. This year’s figures were up slightly from last year, however an overall de-

crease since 2010, when 10.489 tonnes was collected. Rubbish cleared included tyres, rusty drums, netting, polystyrene, old clothing, barbed wire and lots of plastic and glass. Less common items included a boat seat and a couple of couches. Local individuals, businesses, sports clubs and community groups were encouraged to get involved in the event with each group responsible for organising their team’s rubbish collection. The clean-up allows the community to come together and many groups involved en-
joy the social aspect of the day. The Waimea Tramping Club has been involved in the event since 2010 and member Guilda Pegg says “the amount of rubbish we are collecting is about a quarter of what we collected in 2010”. She says this is “due to more awareness plus holding this annual event helps keep the volume down”. Rubbish-free beaches enhance the lifestyle of people and help protect our wildlife. Rope, packing strap, fishing line and netting can tangle seabirds and sea life, making it difficult for them to feed. Plastic bags and wrapping can be ingested by birds and whales mistaking them for food, and can cause them slow and painful deaths.

Stock effluent site built in Richmond A new stock effluent disposal facility is being constructed at Three Brothers Corner near Richmond in a joint initiative between Nelson City Council and New Zealand Transport Agency. Stock effluent disposal facilities are required around the country because of the hazards posed by effluent spilling onto roads from stock trucks. NZTA’s Mark Owen says there weren’t any suitable sites around Nelson so they approached the Tasman District Council about locating the facility on the former scrap metal site near Richmond. Mark says a number of sites in Nelson were considered but then discounted due either to their location, the need to acquire land or the cost of disposing of effluent. He says the preferred site at Three Brothers

al facility just outside Murchison which caters for stock movements from the south. The effluent will be trucked regularly from the transfer station to the Fittal Street disposal station.
Nelson city councillor Eric Davy says they “appreciate the cooperation from Tasman District Council in establishing a Nelson City Council facility in their area”. Mark says the region’s roads need to be kept clean because hitting spilled effluent on the road “can be like hitting an oil slick—especially for cyclists and people on motorbikes”. He says creating a new stock effluent disposal facility allows effluent to be disposed of safely, hygienically and conveniently. “They don’t sound terribly exciting, but are a necessity in terms of reducing pollution, improving safety and supporting economic productivity.” The facility, which is being built by Fulton Hogan and expected to cost $500,000, is due to be completed around February.

Students make ‘earth bench’
Students from St Paul’s School have been working hard on beautifying their communal space by building an earth bench using recycled rubbish and mud. All students from the school were involved in the project, saving their plastic beverage bottles and rubbish from home, which was then brought into school and stuffed into the bottles over several sessions. “It took quite a long time to collect, sort and then stuff the bottles but we ended up with between 250 and 300 bottles, which we estimate equates to about 100 kilograms of plastic rubbish otherwise going to a landfill,” says deputy principal Philippa Hood. A design for the earth bench was created by

Old cooking Kindy has plants stolen The children at Richmond Kindergarten are not impressed with the people who stole three of their pot plants from outside the kindy last week. Teacher, Rochelle Steer, noticed that the three large pot plants were missing when she arrived at the Florence Street Kindy on Tuesday. She says the large brown pots, that contained yucca plants about 800 millimetres high, had been outside the kindy for about six years and the children were disappointed they had been stolen. “When we told the children they were very concerned,” Rochelle says. “One of them said to me ‘it’s not nice to take other people’s things’ and he asked why they would do that. “It’s a shame because the kindy’s parents go to a lot of effort to hold fundraisers to buy things like the plants to help create a nice environment for the children.” Rochelle says they have reported the theft to the police who asked the kindy to let them know if any staff or parents saw the pot plants.
Known for their health benefits, naturally fermented foods are making a comeback as more people are turning away from a diet of high sugar and highly refined foods. Long before probiotics became popular, naturally fermented foods were an essential part of the diet in many cultures throughout history. Nelson based chef and nutrition consultant, Nicola Galloway, is an advocate and believes there is a food trend towards people going back to using old cooking techniques for their well-being. Lactic acid fermentation is a traditional method of fermenting veg-

cess is easier than you think, it takes time for the foods to ferment but not much time to cook and prepare,” Nicola says. Fermented foods are known to aid the digestibility of vegetables, such as cabbage, and increase vitamin levels. The process also produces enzymes which encourage the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut. Nicola is currently running natural fermentation workshops and is looking to hold future workshops in Nelson early next year. For further information visit www.homegrown-kitchen.co.nz

Speed zones around schools: I hear the city council is talking about a single lane going past Auckland Point School, but I am puzzled why the school does not have speed signs there during the times children arrive and depart. We seem to have these signs in most of Nelson but not on this busy part of Nelson’s highway. Maybe our councillors can tell Nelson people why this school, on one of the Nelson busiest roads has missed out? G Barker. Should fireworks be banned? Yes, or at least restricted. Was on phone to police/fire last night with some inconsiderate people letting off between 11pm and midnight in very blustery conditions! We’re restricted to two weeks for buying, so why is it that there are no restrictions on when we can let off. Should need a permit if having for a birthday or special occasion and none let off after 11pm, especially in built-up areas. Jacinda Stevenson. Yes, unfortunately, as a small minority have ruined it for the responsible people. Around our area fireworks go off all hours of the night, 12 months of the year. John Sauer. No, I think public should be allowed to use them but they should only be for sale for one day or two, and more restrictions, so they only get used on the one day. If they get banned it would be great to have some nice firework displays on the day. Eva Stryder.

It’s a hard one as there is always the minority who can’t follow the rules. As an owner of dogs, I’d like to see them banned from personal use. As a mother, I think if you really want your kids to experience fireworks take them to an arranged event. They are usually much more dramatic, and hopefully, much safer. Holland-Potts Property.
Yes we have someone in the Wood who lets them off all year and always at around 2 a.m, waking everybody who is a light sleeper. Brenda Kenny. Definite YES! We lost our beautiful cat two years ago on Guy Fawkes night. Wendy Thomas. I think designated areas, nights and times should be mandatory for public use of fireworks with, perhaps, a fireman or other appointed safety person to supervise. Anything or anytime other than that should be illegal. There are so many stupid idiots who have no idea how to use them safely and even less idea on how to model to their children to be safe around fireworks. Sharon Tarapipi Pi. Yes yes yes!!! Have organised displays. Then, hopefully, less accidents. And kinder to animals!! Laschelle Walker. Yes, organised public events, one on Guy Fawkes night out at sea. Donna Jan.

Sadly, there are too many idiots ruining it for everyone else and I think the time has come for organised public displays only. Heard some being let off last night in the strong wind and all I could think was “brain-dead idiots” Tania Preston Brunell. Nothing in this world is worse than having fun these days! Just remember being a kid and the excitement of them. Yes, they are loud and yes they can be a bit annoying but yes it’s only for a few days a year. Can’t begin to imagine what being a kid will be like in 50 years, swimming pool will have no doubt been long since banned. Glen Baumfield. Could never understand why we celebrate an act of terrorism and treason. Julie Roberts. No, there just needs to be more restrictions! Jasmine Nicholson-Mooney. Don’t let them off in residential areas. Dogs freak out how would you feel if your precious rug rat was scared to death. Why do it to people’s precious animals. Public displays only. Kids were letting them off on the church steps at lunch time today. Georgie McLean.

Just a thought...
Recently driving along a main road in Nelson, I heard a speaker on the radio mention blind spots and how we have blind spots in our cars and often can have blind spots in our lives. Not far down the road I could see a bus starting to pull out of a side street into my path, so I slowed, unsure if the bus driver was going to pull right out and across the coming traffic or if he was thinking others drivers like me would stop to let him through, even though he was coming
through a give way intersection. As I was getting closer I noticed the driver straining to look for cars coming the other way. Now having to stop completely, as the bus was on my side of the road and cutting across in front of our lane, causing both me and the car behind to have to move out of the way. Did this bus driver have a blind spot or was he just not looking the correct way. A little shaken I drove on considering

Why use Marine Magnesium 550g MAX? This high-strength, one-a-day supplement provides 550mg of easily absorbed elemental Magnesium sourced from natural seawater. Magnesium is an essential nutrient that plays a role in over 300 different metabolic processes in your body. It is involved in conducting nerve impulses and contracting/relaxing muscle fibres, which explains its role in soothing muscle tension and tightness. It also supports energy production; helps to ease stress, worry and nervous tension; and may assist with falling asleep. The formula is completely free from Magnesium oxide.

Freeing your body from aches, pains and injuries can be life-changing, and with the Bowen Technique it can also be pain-free. Richmond-based Carolyn Morgan is originally from the UK but now practices from Hardy’s in the Richmond Mall. She has been practicing the Bowen Technique for more than a decade and has worked all over the world, alongside specialists of many different healing methods. The technique takes the pull off the skeletal system and relaxes the muscles, which allows the body to reset and heal itself. Carolyn is extremely popular with a range of people needing treatment for neck pain, frozen shoulders, sciatic back and she also sees plenty of athletes. But an area that people may not be aware of is her work with children. Because Bowen is non-evasive and extremely gentle, children are perfect candidates for the treatment. Carolyn also sees children who are suffering from attention deficit disorder, digestion problems, colic and reflux, bed wetting and many other issues. “If there’s been a traumatic birth, people bring their babies along to me just to re-balance them. Because Bowen is so gentle, it’s great for kids,” says Carolyn. To find out more visit www.thebowenclinic.co.nz or call 544 9762.

She trained for three years through various courses before having her work assessed by the guild of master craftsman and was promptly offered a position at Windsor Castle. Her immigration to New Zealand meant that didn’t become a reality but her talents in the field of upholstery have done just as well here. Trained in the traditional methods, Lisa is now offerLisa ing classes in modern upholstery through Waimea McGregor College and privately, and it may well be your new favourite hobby. From a couch that’s showing its age to bespoke toy boxes and soft furnishings, caravan awnings and of course traditional upholstery. Creativity and skill are what is evident here.

OPEN DAY
Saturday 8 November 10am - 2pm Spencer Place, Brightwater
Our rural fire brigades are a community asset that should never be taken for granted. The work they do is vital to the protection of our friends, family and colleagues, and Brightwater Rural Volunteer Fire Force is no exception. Records show the Brightwater force has been operating since the late 60s and, with some of the 18 current members having served for 20 years, it’s clear there is a lot of loyalty amongst the brigade. It’s a trait particularly strong in the rural force and although they enjoy a steadfast team, new members are always greatly appreciated to bulk Members of the Brightwater Rural Fire Force, from left, Robert Cole, Steve Foote, Harry Faber, up the numbers in the event of an Ryan Cole and Lee Beloe, getting ready for their open day at Spencer Place, Brightwater next Satur- emergency.

There will be plenty of demonstrations happening throughout the day from 10am until 2pm, including monsoon buckets in action, their two trucks and support ute, a large tanker, fire smart presentation, giveaways for the kids, and people will be able to try on the gear, go through the trucks and get an idea about what it is like to be in the volunteer fire force. As for why the members choose to actively be involved in the fire force, there’s not one straight answer, says Steve. “I think it’s more to serve your community and to provide an organisation or a service that is there to offer help when it is needed for the community and the surrounding areas.” When they aren’t rescuing cats stuck up trees, they use their skills to help out in a number of different emergency situations, including vegetation fires, co-responses to medical situations with St John, car crashes, structural fires and assist Civil Defence with natural disasters, such as flooding.

FireSmart Advice
Protecting your property in the advent of a fire passing through has been highlighted by the tragic fires over past summers. Embers spread by wind are the major culprit. FireSmart tips for protecting your property: • Clean gutters to reduce the risk of embers catching hold and starting a fire in the roof.
• Ensure embers can’t be blown under your house. Don’t store wood and flammable material under the house.
• Keep a 1-1.5 m strip around the outside of your house free of flammable materialuse rock not bark
• Keep firewood piles away from the house.
• Plant low flammability plant species within the 10-20m zone around your house. • Within 20m of the house, remove flammable material from underneath trees and shrubs and remove branches up to 2-3m to reduce the risk of a fire “laddering” up into the tree tops.
• Wooden fences, if on fire, will carry flames along their length creating a ‘fuse’. Put a break between the fence and the house. • Look around the house for places where hot embers can land on flammable material and catch.
For advice on protecting your property from fire call Rural Fire Network
on 544 2441 or visit www.ruralfirenetwork.co.nz Waimea Rural Fire Authority would like to thank all volunteer rural fire fighters for their service and commitment to keeping their communities safe. Best wishes to Brightwater Volunteer Rural Fire Force for a successful Open Day.

Blacksticks to play at Saxton Field The New Zealand men’s hockey team is coming to Nelson to play two test matches against Canada in early December. The games were confirmed by Hockey New Zealand yesterday afternoon and will see the Blacksticks play on December 9 and 10 at Saxton Field, before heading to Christchurch for the third and fourth tests in the four match series.
It is the first time a full international hockey test will be played at Saxton Field and the first time the men’s side have played in Nelson since 1952. That game was played at Trafalgar Park against India and featured Nelson player Fred (Ted) Gribble. The Blacksticks women’s side played at Saxton Field in 2009 but it was against

es to the regions and, in this case, they’ve been able to do it because of support from Nelson City Council. “Definitely over the past few years the smaller communities are the ones that really get behind it and we’re hoping that will be the case in Nelson with some big crowds.” The two tests will start at 6pm and ticket prices will be released later this week.

Property insights New Tasman District Rateable Values Tasman District rateable values will be available at the end of the year and we are all keen to know what our new rateable value will be. Unfortunately there is absolutely no way that we can find out prior to the release date. My guess is that there will be no consistency in the new RVs and they will fluctuate depending on the type of property that you have and the price range. What can you do if you are not happy with the rateable value? Read the document carefully and note the time frame that you have within which to lodge any objections. If you want a review then be sure that you request this. It may be that someone will come and view your property and make a judgement based on how your property sits with other property in the same area and with the same features. The values of rural and lifestyle property vary considerably and this is a good time to take a close at what your property has to offer.
Lydia Heyward Licensed Real Estate Agent (REAA 2008)
I often hear people say that they don’t want to object to their rateable value as it will push up their rates. It would be worth asking how much your rates will rise and it may be worth paying that little bit extra in the long run.
If you have a property related question then e-mail me and I will see if I can help you. lydia@nelsonrealestate.co.nz

Nelson under-19 rider, Reuben Connor, gets some air time during the first day of the Top of the South Downhill double-header held on the Broken Axe course, near Nelson on Saturday. But it was Kieran Bennett who showed he still knows the fastest way down Nelson’s downhill tracks, Broken Axe and Kaka, when he dominated the Nelson Mountainbike Club’s Top of the South downhill double-header at the weekend. Kieran smoked down Broken Axe on Saturday in two minutes 57 seconds, before clocking 3mins flat on Kaka on Sunday for a combined time of 5min 57sec.

Top cyclist back home Nelson’s top road cyclist, George Bennett, is back home for his annual summer break after a season that produced a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows both on and off the road. The season started full of promise after George signed with one of the top teams on the professional tour, Cannondale, at a time when many teams were cutting budgets and riders. George was also looking ahead to Commonwealth Games selection and the distinct possibility of racing in his first Tour de France after making his grand tour debut in the Giro Italia last year. But things didn’t go to plan with crashes, illness and contractual issues making 2014 his “toughest season” in six years of professional cycling. “I didn’t get the big breakthrough I had dreamed about in January,” George says. “I made some big gains but the things that could have gone either way never fell in my direction. “The Vuelta (Espana) was a perfect example. I couldn’t believe I was in the top 10 after four stages and then it all came undone with three miserable days. “I got caught in the crosswind one day, tried to make up for it with some loose tactics the next and then crashed the following day and lost 15 minutes.

eral classification ambitions dissolved very quickly - that race summed up my whole season really.” George says pulling out of the Commonwealth Games due to illness and missing out on a place in next year’s Cannondale team after it merged with Garmin-Sharp were also low points of the season. However, the season did include some highlights and George says the team time trial in the Vuelta, when Cannondale finished second, was at the top of the list. He also enjoyed a good start to the season, impressing in the Tour of California where he was placed in the top 10 before crashing in the final stage. “The time trial in the Vuelta was hard but somehow I rolled with the boys and we nearly got a stage win out of it. We were pipped by the last team to finish - it was heartbreak stuff. “I was racing well in California too. We attacked on the sixth stage to set up a win for Peter Sagan and I was climbing alongside the top four or five guys in the world like Bradley Wiggins on the mountain stages. “I was right up there until I crashed and knocked myself out. Then I got another bike but I was still dazed so I flew
