Teachers hit street over no-pay

Some local teachers haven’t had a pay check this year, prompting a protest by teachers at Richmond’s Garin College last week. Teachers took to the streets with signs highlighting their plight caused by the botched Novopay system which is designed to pay all of the Ministry of Education’s 90,000 staff throughout New Zealand. Teachers’ pay packets has been affected since the

andrew@nelsonweekly.co.nz software’s introduction seven months ago and Garin’s principal John Boyce says the time for excuses is over. “It is a complete botch-up and that’s a polite term.” He says several of his teachers haven’t been

paid since the start of the year and that is having a huge impact on stress levels. “Say an experience teacher suddenly finds she hasn’t been paid for six weeks, she’s got mortgage commitments, hire purchase things going out of her account. Come Wednesday she’s got a full days teaching then she’s got to go home and ring the bank and get around all the people she has made commitments to and say she can’t honour

it. The stress that causes is just awful.” John says when the system was first introduced he wasn’t too worried about the mistakes but as time has marched on it has become frustrating and “total chaos”. “I was a principal in ’94 when the previous system came in and there were lots of complaints and it went to parliament, all SEE PAGE 4

Blokes open up their sheds

Ever wondered what goes on inside a man's shed? Well, all will be revealed this Sunday when ten hobbyists and collectors open their garage doors to the public for a fundraising trail that maps through Nelson and Richmond. Thousands of beer bottles, once made to case alcohol, now stored away in a garage and worth hundreds of dollars to collectors will be on display at one of ten stopovers with others showcasing model railways, Model T Fords, trucks and tractors, speed bikes, tools, and much more. Lindsay Jukes has thousands of collectables, including bottle openers, patent cures and medicine bottles, glass cups and locally designed tea pots, although his first passion was for beer bottles. The most staggering part of his collection is not the history of each brew or the fact they survived a hen house fire in the ‘80s, but the amount of money other people are willing to buy them for.

driving with an open bottle of beer and were dumbfounded to be told by police he wasn’t breaking the law, causing outrage from a road safety expert. The article was then printed in The New Zealand Herald, the country’s largest newspaper. In its online poll 61 per cent of readers voted that the rule should be changed. However, the legal loophole will stay and the legislation was not under review, a spokesman for transport minister Gerry Brownlee said last week. The government’s efforts on reducing car crashes where alcohol is a factor are focused on “ensuring drivers comply with their legal limit,” says a ministry of transport spokeswoman. Initiatives have included introducing a zero breath alcohol concentration for drivers aged under 20 and repeat drink-drivers. “We would reiterate that the law allows the police to require a driver, at any time, to undergo a breath test to see if they are complying with the legal limit,’’ she says. Road safety campaigner Clive Matthew-

Wilson, who also edits car review website, dogandlemon.com, says he was shocked to learn the practice of driving with open bottles was legal and called for a law change. “It’s completely crazy. I just can’t believe our lawmakers are that stupid,’’ he says. “It’s like saying you’re allowed to drive carrying a handgun as long as you’re not shooting anyone. “One tends to follow the other. If you’re drinking while driving, then it’s highly likely that it’s going to cause serious road safety problems.’’ Ministry figures showed drinking and driving killed 1463 people and injured 24,789 others in crashes on New Zealand roads between 2000 and 2011. Nigel Hampton QC says motorists may not be breaking the law by drinking a beer while driving, but police could have “very good cause’’ to pull them over and breath test them if they were. “The cop would have every right to ask what they are doing and get them to `blow into this machine please’,’’ he says.

Richmond Mall manager accepts job in Tauranga Phillip Rollo Richmond Mall manager David Hill is stepping down from his job after ten years, accepting a similar position in his hometown of Tauranga.

centre for an undisclosed price earlier this month. He described the Palm Beach Plaza as a developer’s dream, comparing it to the Richmond Mall of the 90’s, and says he is excited to be returning home. “It’s twice as exciting for my parents. We want to take Papamoa from Richmond Mall 1995 through to Richmond Mall 2013. I really enjoy the development side of things, putting a sense of organisation around the chaos of construction.” David was proud of the work he did while in Richmond and highlighted its growth over the ten years. “Connecting the malls was the turning point for retail in this region. It really lifted the bar and it was great to oversee all of that and the introduction of a whole lot of national retailers. Foot count when I got here was just over a 1,000,000 people per year, now it’s up to 5,500,000. It’s been a fun journey.” March 28 will be his final day. Managing director Steve Baigent says the company is very pleased to add Palm Beach Plaza to its portfolio and was looking forward to working with the property and its tenants.

Students lose locks for cancer Students from separate schools have raised a substantial amount of money for the Leukaemia and Blood Cancer New Zealand with Tapawera Area School raising more than any other school in the country. Each year some New Zealanders become shavees in a bid to raise money to help patients and their families with blood cancer or a related condition. Tapawera Area School’s Year 11-13 syndicate leader Louise Monge-Grassi organised the shave at her school following a leadership camp and said she would go under the razor if $5000 was raised before 12:30pm on Friday. “It came through at 12:29pm. $5000 is a massive amount so it’s awesome,” she says. “It’s a tiny school so we’re absolutely stoked.” Half of the school’s year 11-13 group participated in the shave and they were joined by another teacher and the parent of a student. Waimea College held a “shave off ” fundraising event during the lunch hour on Friday, organised by head students Hugh Knight and Tom Rackley while Garin College’s Mother Teresa House participated in a sponsored 10km walk to raise money for Canteen to buy a wig for a teenage cancer sufferer.

Orca swimmer avoids fine

The marine biology student that swam with six orcas in Wellington’s harbour would do it all again in a heart beat, although next time he might be issued with a $10,000 fine. Mapua man Sam Wild, a 21 year old former Nayland College student, caught the attention of the nation on Tuesday, jumping at the “once in a lifetime” chance to swim within arms reach of the whale pod, which also included a baby orca. He described the experience as “terrifying, accelerating, scary and exciting” but never

been mixed and he only narrowly avoided a $10,000 fine for breaching a Marine Mammals Protection Regulation that states it is offence to swim within 100m of a whale – something he never knew existed. “What went from the experience of a lifetime swimming with these orcas, has turned into something it shouldn’t be.” He says he was well aware of the risks involved and that the negative publicity has definitely dampened the experience. “I honestly just did it for the experience; I wasn’t there to show off or anything like

He got a stern warning but was happy that he could move on from the incident. “I’m from Mapua so I’ve spent most of my life near the ocean, all my hobbies are in the ocean, all my passion is in the ocean and this is where I want my career to go, whether it’s with orca, only time will tell.”

Blokes open up their sheds for fundraiser FROM PAGE 1

Richmond man says his most prized bottle would be worth $1200 and it was quite common to see collectors pay $800 for an empty glass, as long as it was very rare. The Blokes in Sheds Trail is a fundraiser for the Life Education Trust which teaches health education to children at most schools in Nelson. Because the non-profit organisation is not government funded, it relies on fundraising events such as this to continue to operate. Organiser Marg Palmer hopes a successful inaugural event will springboard to more down the

line. You have garden and kitchen trails but this is something for the blokes. We thought this was something different we could do and hopefully we will claim it as ours,” she says. Tickets for the trail can be purchased for $15 at any ANZ branch, Specsavers in the Richmond Mall, Baku on Queen St and from Mitre 10 Mega in Stoke. To win a free double pass email “Blokes in Sheds” and your contact details to editorial@waimea weekly.co.nz. The winner will be drawn on Friday. For more information on the event please phone 544 4716.

Pavilion on the move The Richmond Bowling Club wasn’t the only thing to part ways with its former site on Lower Queen St with news the pavilion is on the move too. The 31x11m building is set to become the new clubrooms for the Nelson Speedway Association and will be split into thirds and taken by truck to Lansdowne Rd in two week’s time during the night. Colin Kennedy, who owns Anchor Construction and is on the speedway committee, says the old clubrooms were “shot” to put it bluntly.

“We’ve been struggling with it for probably a couple of years.” Metlifecare, the company that owns Oakwoods Retirement Village, bought the land enabling the bowling club to move to Club Waimea late last year. Colin says that as long as a clear site is left behind, the clubrooms have been given to the speedway at no charge. “The opportunity was there to get a better complex. It’s in good condition. To the professionals it’s not a biggy but this is certainly a big job for us.”

Shoe repairer set to retire after 53 years

D SOL

Phillip Rollo Richmond shoe repairer Keith Sanders is giving up the game after more than 50 years, deciding to retire next month. Keith, who began his career as an apprentice at Taylor’s Footwear nearly 53 years ago to the day, had been working from home for the past 17 years under his own business. He made the decision to plan his retirement shortly after his 65th birthday and was encouraged by his family because of the long hours he was still putting in every day. “When I’m really busy I work from 9:30am until 5pm and then I come down and do a couple of hours after tea,” he says. “I’ll have to find something to do.” Keith says that even after 50 years he was still learning more skills in an industry that was “always changing.” “There are always different materials and new styles. Even after 50 years you can’t say that you know everything.” When he first got into the shoe repairing industry Keith says he never once thought he would still be in it half a century later. Nowadays, the majority of customers were after modifications rather than repairs and welt stitching was only done on the rare occasion with most jobs just needing to be glued, he says. His favourite part of the job has been meeting new people and he wanted to thank all of the customers he has had over the 53 years. “It’s a good way of meeting people but yeah I’d just like to thank everyone that has supported me over the years and I’ve really enjoyed looking after them all. Sorry I won’t be able to help from next month.” Keith planned to spend his retirement by getting out more. “I used to be training five nights a week in the gym. I’d like to go back to doing something like that again.”

When deciding which roses to enter in this weekend’s New Zealand Rose Society National Autumn Rose Show, Letty Thawley had plenty of options. The Mahana woman has more than 300 roses in her garden at home and has managed to keep them in good condition since November, which is generally the time when they peak. “This year, with the drought, it has been a challenge but if you keep the water up and the dead-heading done then you have just as much of a chance as everyone else,” she says. “This is almost the third flush of them. A lot of people around Christmas time will cut everything off but I haven’t done that because if you do then you’re dependant on the weather.” Letty says she has been growing roses for the past 50 years and first got involved because she had an aunt in the Moutere Hills society. “I grow them because I enjoy the variety it brings but more than the competition is the friends and camaraderie that goes with it. We’ve made friends from all over New Zealand.” But the roses were just “another part of the garden” and she was big on native plants. There is close to 50 different divisions that competitors can enter at the show, which will be the fifth time a national convention is held in Nelson. Registrants are coming from as far away as Whangarei in the north and Tapanui in the south with some of the best exhibitors in the country already confirmed. Nelson Rose Society is part of the network which makes up the Rose Society of New Zealand. The Nelson society has three parts – Nelson, Moutere Hills, and Golden Bay. It will be celebrating its 65th anniversary at the same time. The show will be open to the public from 1.30pm-5pm Mahana’s Letty Thawley prepares her roses for the national show on Saturday and 10am-4pm on Sunday at the Stoke coming to Stoke this weekend.

Yip our Freeview cuts out a bit, it’s not just when its raining, it can be a perfectly sunny day. It is frustrating at times but I think it’s more the fact that we are being made to go digital and now have issues when there was none before... hopefully it gets sorted soon. Rachel Haycock.

No parks, no worries: Went to go for my traditional Sunday morning walk at Tahuna beach and was highly annoyed to find there were no car parks with a 3km radius of it. But when I saw all those kids running around [for the Weet-bix Tryathlon I thought it was great. Well done to you all. (Via text).

WEDNESDAY 13 March 2013

Record turnout for Tryathlon

Tahunanui was bubbling with excitement early Sunday morning as 1778 young athletes munched on a free breakfast and waited for their turn to compete at the annual Weet-bix Kid’s Tryathlon. By mid-morning half the entrants had completed the event at the Tahuna Recreation Ground and the nervous faces were replaced with golden smiles to match the golden medals around their necks as proud parents and grandparents snapped photos of their young stars. The tryathlon attracted a record number of entries from local children aged between 7 and 15 and many had their medals draped

around their necks by former basketball star Pero Cameron and cycling ace Alison Shanks. Pierre van Heerden, general manager for Sanitarium, says the event was a huge success and his team was very impressed. “The Nelson event was a fantastic morning, it was great to see kids giving the tryathlon their best shot, trying for a personal best and achieving their own record.” Over the past 21 years more than 240,000 New Zealand children have taken part in a Weet-Bix Kid’s Tryathlon and it holds the world record for being the largest children’s sporting event of its kind in the world.

Dogs and their owners underwent a spiritual healing workshop at the Nelson Ark on Sunday, with an out-of-town expert taking them through various methods she believes will deepen communication and build trust. Valee More came down from Auckland to teach the canine Reiki healing methods during a one day intensive training as a way to help fundraise for the Nelson Ark. While Reiki does not replace veterinary care, Valee says it can make dogs become calmer and relieve past trauma. “You’d use it when they’re stressed and you’d use it when there is injury. Another example is grief. It’s a very dynamic treatment although you can’t see much because you’re working with energy.” Valee says the participants were given a background into Reiki treatment and how the dog can benefit. She has also done the treatment on horses and other animals.

The Tasman community owes a lot to its volunteer fire service. These unsung heroes go about their everyday lives but as soon as the fire siren sounds they jump into action, don

their uniforms and respond to save homes, property and lives. The New Zealand Fire Service relies on thousands of volunteers all over the country who donate their time

and effort to keep help communities protect what they value. Our region is lucky enough to have the protection of local volunteer fire brigades in Murchison, Richmond, Stoke, Wakefield, Tapawera, Upper Moutere, Mapua, Motueka, Kaiteriteri, Takaka and Collingwood and there are rural fire services based in Appleby, St Arnaud and Brightwater, with each one paramount to the safety of our families, schools, homes, businesses and properties. Each year our Tasman volunteers respond to many incidents, from fires, vehicle incidents to medical assistance and rescue efforts. Being a firefighter requires a lot of determination, but those involved say it is a highly rewarding service to be involved with. Months of training is required to become a fully qualified member of the fire service, rising through the ranks from a recruit to become a qualified firefighter with the option to take the role much further. Wakefield Volunteer Fire Brigade Chief Fire Officer Simon Ladley has been a firefighter for 20 years and says the camaraderie between the members of the brigade is like being part of a second family. “I get a lot of satisfaction out of helping people and making them safe.

50 Year Charter Anniversary Nelson Host Lions Club is proud to be celebrating its 50 year charter anniversary. Over the past 50 years the club has supported a wide range of projects and proven itself to be a vital part of the Nelson community. Our most recent endeavour was to raise around $10,000 for Nelson Surf Lifesaving. Past members of the club and their partners are invited to attend an afternoon tea celebration. This will be a great opportunity to reminisce with old friends and new members. This will commence at 2.30pm on Saturday 13th April 2013 at the Jaycee room, Founders Park. Please bring $5 per person to assist with catering.

The recently formed Tasman Nelson Youth Service has relocated from Waimea College to the Richmond Recreation Centre, which is formerly known as the Richmond Town Hall. The service helps build the confidence of 16 and 17 year olds that have already left school with the end goal of finding them employment, work experience or further training. Manager Pip Berkett says the service works by mentoring the youth and helping them find the pathways needed to obtain employment. The programme was initially based alongside Job Track at Waimea College but it had outgrown the facility it was in when it took on more staff. “We want to be in the middle of the community anyway and I think that is the biggest thing for us as a community service. This was ideal because there are lots of other businesses around and it’s a user friendly spot to be.” Pip says there are jobs out there for young people, they just need the confidence in their own ability. “The mentors will be hoping to find them work experience just so they can see how it goes and build up some references and work history, which is important for your CV. Without that then it can be pretty hard.”

CSN store products frozen at -22degC and chilled at 0degC and also have a transport unit capable of handling containers in and out of the Nelson stores using side-lifter trailers. At the moment apples and pears are pouring into the store to be held until they are packed for market. This follows on from a busy berry season and blackcurrant harvest. Shortly kiwifruit will arrive for storage from the Waimea Plains and further afield awaiting export. CSN handled over 100,000 tonnes of produce last year, which is equal to nearly 6,000 containers.

Falcons captain full of praise

Phillip Rollo

Nelson Falcons captain Mark Johnston was full of praise when reflecting on the side’s inaugural ASB Youth League campaign, which ended with a 1-1 draw against Team Wellington on Saturday. Mark, who was one of two over-age players in the squad,

says everything from the players, coaches, supporters, sponsors and volunteers exceeded all expectations, epitomised by the fact the side were disappointed with their overall fourth placing in the southern conference. The former Canterbury United defender says early expectations were just to be competitive, but having gone the entire season undefeated at home, Nelson deserves its place in the league long term. “If you look at what we’ve come from to be disappointed with finishing fourth is pretty amazing,” he says. “We thought we would really struggle. It’s bittersweet really; with a bit of luck we could have done a hell of a lot better.” The Falcons were in a strong position going into the second round of the competition, before losing 2-1 to Canterbury United down in Christchurch when Hal Fish was shown an early red card. “We were in a good position 1-nil up and that was a huge turning point. Unfortunately it was one of those things where we just didn’t have that

bit of luck. It really comes down to fine inches.” Losing defenders Erik Panzer and Fox Slotemaker after just a few rounds was a key loss, as was the unavailability of New Zealand Under-17 players Ross McPhie and Cory Brown who were instead made to play in the northern conference. “With the players we had we made a good fist of it and I’m really proud of their efforts. Without having a go at New Zealand Football, I think Ross and Cory would have benefited not only our team but they would have improved with regular football.” Exciting forward Omar Guardiola, vice captain Harry Tod-Smith and midfielder Tore Waechter were highlighted by their skipper as the players of the season and he expects all three to reach the ASB Premiership within the next year or two. Having played in that league himself, he was also confident a Nelson-based side would have the ability to match it with Waikato and YoungHeart Manawatu – whom he said were no better than a top Mainland Premier League side. He was thankful for a lot of the volunteer work that went on behind the scenes and says the crowd at the first game was larger than what turned up to watched Canterbury United’s ASB Premiership semi-final last season.

Record breaker at it again

Phillip Rollo

Waimea College swim sensation Sam McKenzie was back in the pool and back in the record books last week, winning two national titles and breaking five regional records at the National Age Group Championships in Wellington. Sam’s medal tally included wins in the 13 year old boys’ 50m freestyle and 100m freestyle, silver in the 50m butterfly and bronze in the 200m freestyle. The two victories followed up his record breaking performance at the Waimea College swimming sports last month, where he broke seven records in all seven events he competed in. Nelson Swimming Club coach Andy Adair has only been in the region for a short time so could not answer whether Sam was the best swimmer the area has seen in the past 20 years, but did say he has the potential to push on and become one of the greatest. “Every so often someone walks in the door of your program who is a very natural swimmer. In this case I’m lucky enough to walk through the door of the program,” he says. “For some reason this person has a better grip on the water than all of the other kids, for some reason he has got a better natural stroke shape than all of the other kids and he can move his limbs quickly. “He is amongst the best 13 year old swimmers I’ve ever seen in my 20 year coaching

career.” But Andy says he is not interested in Sam’s current talent as he wants him to be a good 23 year old, not a good 13 year old, although an encouraging sign was his improvements over the longer distances. Last year he won gold in the 12 year old boys’

50m freestyle at the same championship and Andy says strong results in the 200m and a huge personal best in the 400m would bode well for the future as he looks to transition to the longer events like the 400m individual medley. “In my opinion that is the most significant thing. He went

into the 200m free with a time of 2 minutes 13 seconds and went 2 minutes and 6 seconds in the race. Instead of just being a gifted kid who is fast over 50m, he is now a gifted kid over 50m and 100m and making very strong improvements in 200m and 400m – adding work to his talent.”

Nelson Bays Tennis development officer Lynnie Nevin says there are now 22 local schools involved in the Tennis New Zealand initiative. “It’s not technical, it’s all game based because we want to make this fun for the children to get them hooked on the sport,” she says. “Hopefully it will get them interested in tennis and go join a local club. Nelson is one of the strongest regions for Grasshoppers because there are just so many schools on board.” Lynnie says the teachers had a blast playing on Friday.

College win combined final Mal Keene It was a double whammy when the Waimea College Sonix team took out the combined senior men's and women's grade of the Nelson Softball competition on Saturday. Having gone through the season with only two losses they faced the Stoke Eagles Women's team in the first semifinal, one team who had beaten them previously. The Eagles fielded a strong team with the return from injury of key

players Megan Thompson and Natalie Ewing. However, the Sonix started out strongly in their first turn at bat when Tyler Power slugged a right field home run to score two and Brody Lindbom followed that with another solo homer in the second. The Eagles then pulled one back in the bottom of the second when pitcher/ coach Daryl Stratford put an automatic over the fence but they could add no more. The next three innings continued uneventfully until the Sonix scored again in the top of the sixth and held up the Eagles in their last two at bats to end the game 4-1 and progress to the final. The Royals Maverix also advanced to the final with an 18-8 win over the Nelson United Warriors. The Maverix jumped out to an 18-4 lead in the second innings, aided by a home run from Martin Gay with two on

base and brought on a pitching change to ease up for the final. The Maverix were confident of a win over their Sonix clubmates, even with a one win, two loss record against them, and looked to dominate when their leadoff batter got to third base but were shot down when he was picked off in a subsequent play. The Sonix let rip in their turns at bat, scoring five in each of the first and second innings and three in the third, including home runs to Gavin Peattie and Brad Fisher, Brad's with two on base. The Maverix's big hitting lineup had no answer for the pitching power of Lincoln McBride and although they managed to score one in the third innings it was not enough to avoid the 13-1 mercy rule defeat. Their only highlights were shortstop Kerehama Milroy's classy double play and another awesome effort to hustle from his position to take a catch in shallow right field.
