Nelson helps out with earthquake recovery Simon Bloomberg Fire crews, an urban search and rescue squad, St John Ambulance staff and police from Nelson and Tasman are busy helping with a massive recovery operation after the 7.5 magnitude earthquake hit Marlborough and North Canterbury early on Monday morning. The Nelson Fire Service and St John Ambulance were the first to head to Blenheim, leaving soon

after the earthquake devastated the small towns of Kaikoura, Seddon, Ward and Hanmer Springs shortly after midnight. They were followed by the Nelson Tasman Civil Defence Emergency Management Group’s specialist rescue team, the New Zealand Response Team 2 (RT2), which left later on Monday morning and 10 police officers from Nelson. The RT2 team of 10 volunteers, lead by Ian Watts, specialises in

urban search and rescue and has been deployed in the Awatere Valley. Ian says they are based in Seddon and are “tasked with checking on every property” in the expansive valley south of Blenheim. “We responded from Nelson to Marlborough EOC (Emergency Operations Centre) and got a briefing and deployed out to the comms truck at the school in Seddon. So far we’ve just seen mi-

nor damage to the properties we have called on but I understand as you travel toward Ward it’s a lot worse. “But we are still feeling some big aftershocks over here. The ground is still moving but our crew is pretty good.” The RT2 team consists of Ian, Jason Everett, Paul Howell, Stefan Lerbs, Jenny Craddock, Jim Perry, Bryn Stephenson, Graeme Seymour, Jason Monopoli and

Julian Malcolm. The Nelson Fire Service’s Tasman-Marlborough assistant area commander Des Irving had an early start on Monday, flying by helicopter from Wellington to the Civil Defence Emergency Operating Centre in Blenheim. “I was on the 18th floor on the James Cook Hotel when the earthquake hit so it was pretty

Gala raises money for obstacle course Jessie Johnston Wakefield School students have big plans for the money raised from Saturday’s Twilight Gala. While the school community doesn’t yet know how much money the gala raised, they are sure about one thing, the money they do make will be spent on a new obstacle course. “This is something that the children have been pestering me about for about a year and a half, to the point where they’ve been sending me designs that they’ve made and special projects they’ve done on the kinds of obstacles they want,” principal Peter Verstappen says. Although the weather on Saturday impacted the outcome of the gala, Peter says people within our own community came and had “a really good day.” Pictured is Laylah Nicholson, 6, enjoying the slide at the gala.

“I panicked, it just wouldn’t stop. I jumped out of bed grabbed my dog and got down beside the bed. I’ve got emergency supplies, enough for the family.

“It just kept going on and you didn’t know whether it was going to increase. I stayed in bed, nothing that was going to fall on us. We’ve got an emergency plan and water stored.”

“It had been going a little while before we actually felt it. I thought Garth was wobbling around in bed and he thought it was me. We just stayed there and put the radio on.”

“First thing I did was wake my wife up, I thought she was dreaming but realised everything was actually moving. We’ve got emergency supplies, blankets and first aid.”

Opinion: Nelson will be tested As the devastation of Monday morning’s earthquake is revealed, two things has become clear for Nelson: we were lucky, very lucky; and our region just got a whole lot busier. If the images shot from helicopters and beamed around national media on Monday are anything to go by, State Highway 1 near Kaikoura is stuffed. Mountains have slipped into the ocean, burying the roads and railways under them -that isn’t an easy fix. Nelson and places like St Arnaud will become the main route for people travelling be-

tween Christchurch and Picton’s ferries to the North Island. The first effects are already being felt. Mark Rawson, chief executive of the Nelson Regional Development Agency, says the Nelson i-Site is experiencing extra activity from visitors who have “obviously had their road travel plans disrupted”. He says pre-bookings before the quake were on track to be the best tourist season the region’s ever had.

The loss of a route down the east coast of the South Island will amplify that as tourists who would have missed us by heading to Christchurch via Kaikoura will be forced to head over the Whangamoas, or through the Wairau Valley to St Arnaud. For trucking companies, it will be a logistical nightmare. So while this earthquake has been devastating for our friends in Marlborough and North Canterbury, we’ll have to step up to cope with the added demand that will be placed on our region.

Quake researchers size up our parks Simon Bloomberg If you see someone hitting the ground with a sledgehammer in the parks and reserves around Nelson and Tasman this summer, don't be alarmed. That's because they will be part of a research programme aimed at collecting data that could ultimately help model and understand earthquake hazards in the region. The study is being conducted by Rebecca McMahon, who is a geotechnical engineer with MWH engineering consultancy, and starts this week. Rebecca is completing a Masters of Engineering and as part of her thesis she is collecting information that will help develop models showing how different soils respond to earthquake shaking. Although Rebecca and her team will be using expensive and sophisticated sensors to record the shaking, the instruments used to simulate the shaking are far more basic. "We'll be setting up a 46m line of geophones on the ground to record the shaking and then we'll hit the ground with a sledge hammer, or a big weight set up on a tripod, to cause vibrations," Rebecca says. "I'm sure we'll be getting a few curious looks from people, but we using the reserves

Big day out for firies

Practice makes perfect which is why local volunteer fire fighters were out on a very wet Sunday, practicing their skills with a scenario based training day. The Waimea Rural Fire Authority-led event was put on for both the Rural Volunteer Fire Forces and New Zealand Fire Service Brigades, serving as a refresher for most and as an educational experience for those new to firefighting. Held at a skid site up Quail Valley Rd, it was also an opportunity for fire crew members to catch up before the dry season gets underway and the call outs increase. Crews from Hira, Appleby, Brightwater, Ngatimoti, Motueka and Mapua attended the training day which began with a talk from Toby Reid of Reid Helicopters. Toby discussed how to operate safely around a helicopter before the fire fighters took turns in groups to fill the monsoon bucket. The training day also included two other scenarios, a house fire and mobile methamphetamine lab.

Power lines ‘like fireworks’

Nelson man Mykele Johansen who filmed power lines clashing on his smart phone shortly after Monday’s earthquake. Photo: Brittany Spencer. Insert: A screen shot of Mykele’s video.

Andrew Board An incredible video posted to social media in the hours after Monday morning’s “severe” earthquake showed power lines at Tahunanui clashing, causing massive sparks and noises – but the man who took the footage initially thought it was just fireworks. Mykele Johansen was driving a truck for Bidvest on the night shift when he saw the sparking. At first he thought it was two people playing with fireworks. As he got closer he was shocked to see power lines banging together, causing huge sparks. “To be honest, I didn’t know there had been an earthquake because I was in the truck and it’s a bit rocky anyway. I thought it just must have been a power outage.” Network Tasman’s network manager Murray Hendrickson says he’s never seen anything like it in 30 years in the industry. “That footage was really interesting actually, it was the first time I’ve seen that. It’s quite rare.” He says Network Tasman had “lots” of circuit breakers trip due to the line clashes. “In my entire time here we haven’t really had these kind of numbers before. What you saw there was low voltage conductors being swayed around with the earthquake and clashing together. When they clash it caused that big blast.” He says the low voltage clashes don’t cause power outages but the high-voltage conductors that run above them do. Murray says while the footage was quite spectacular, it’s also dangerous. “There is hot aluminium coming down when they do clash, so it’s not a good thing to be around. It’s really unusual and it takes earthquakes like this to create it, so it’s something that you wouldn’t want to linger around.” He says the incident will make them “go away and think” about how they can mitigate it. Mykele says that although he wasn’t too sure what caused the clashes, he knew it wasn’t a safe place to be. “That’s why the video is only 15 seconds because I just quickly got some and then I got out of there.” The video can be viewed at www.nelsonlive.co.nz

Nelson Airport has also established new management offices behind HNZ, including additional meeting rooms and office space to cater for the demands over the construction period.

Workmates chip in for donation Andrew Board A group of workmates at Aimex Group in Port Nelson have reached into their own pockets to buy eight televisions for the children’s ward at Nelson Hospital. The idea came up at a daily staff meeting after engineering services manager Ross Harvey heard that the ward was short a few TVs for sick children in the ward. The staff unanimously agreed to help and apprentices, admin staff and management all pulled money from their own pockets for the cause. Charge nurse manager of the paediatric ward at the hospital, Sue Smart, says she was delighted with the donation. “When kids are in hospital the TVs go pretty much 24/7, so they wear out pretty quickly and don’t function. So this is excellent, really. Overwhelming.” Sue says the televisions will go into six of the eight single rooms, the double-bedded room and the treatment room, where children “can watch DVDs while they’re having nasty stuff put in them”. Ross says the employees of Aimex were all enthusiastic about the idea. “They all voted to do it and everyone’s pockets were shared equally,

Donating televisions on behalf of Amex Group are, rear from left, Anton Roach, Jordan Harvey, Jim Williams and Liam Hutton. Accepting them on behalf of the Children’s Ward of Nelson Hospital are, front, from left, Tracey Keane-Harvey, nurse Debra Dowie and charge nurse Sue Smart. Photo: Andrew Board. doesn’t matter who you are, you paid the same share. We talked about who should represent the employees of Aimex [to hand over the televisions] and they all nominated the young guys because they’re the future moving forward.” He says there’s a good comraderie

between the staff at Aimex and the donation was designed purely to be by the staff, not about pushing the Aimex brand. “It was just out of the goodness of the guys’ hearts. We all hope that it puts a smile on the kids’ faces. It’s not particularly a nice time for them when they’re there,

so hopefully it makes their time there a little easier.” The donation comes a year after Nelson Weekly and Richmond Mall donated $4000 worth of toys to the ward and Sue says while donations are accepted, sometimes they have to say ‘no’. “It sounds terrible, but money is

always useful because if we have to buy things, like a new lazyboy chair for example, because they have to be hospital grade standard, we can’t take them from normal store,” she says. “So either money, or a direct approach to discuss what they may be able to help with.”

Fuzion excel at world champs Jessie Johnston Fuzion dance crew from Mad Beat came home from the Hip Hop Unite World Championships extremely proud of their efforts and result. The crew of mainly Richmond dancers qualified for the event at the national championships in early July, although their place at the international event wasn’t automatic. The top three teams in each division were eligible to go to the world champs but it was the judge’s discretion on who they thought could meet the international standards. From their section in the national competition, Fuzion, along with a crew from Auckland, were chosen to compete on the world stage. Held in Vienna, Austria, the Hip Hop Unite World Championships included around 1200 dancers, representing 88 crews from around the world. Fuzion were competing

alongside 25 other teams in the junior section, from ages eight to 13. While the seven dancers that make up the crew have been dancing at Mad Beat studio for the last few years, preparation for the event only started this year. Since nationals it’s been 12 weeks of full-on training and fund-raising, but it was all worth it when the team reached the finals and placed ninth overall. “It was a privilege to get to perform at the finals and it felt like we’d achieved what we’d gone there to achieve and to move up to ninth was awesome as well,” says coach and manager, Gemma Laing. “It’s not that often you get chosen to represent your country and you don’t know if you’re going to get that opportunity again, so we were there for the experience but we did have a goal to try and make the finals which is the top 10.”

Vintage car rally in the rain Jessie Johnston

Despite the rain, the Nelson Vintage Car Club soldiered on with their veteran, motorcycle and commercial rally on Saturday morning. Around 35 vehicles were registered for the rally, veteran cars needing to be prior 1919, while the motorbikes and commercials had to be club eligible, meaning anything older than 30 years. “We have the event because these vehicles don’t have a little rally of their Nelson Vintage Car Club member Trevor Carston with his 1912 Rover at the veteran, own,” says Nelson Vintage Car Club’s motorcycle and commercial rally on Saturday. Photo: Jessie Johnston. Jim Wareing. “They tend to get lumped

in with the others which are a lot quicker and there’s only a few veteran cars, motorcycles and commercial vehicles in the Nelson branch.” The rally took two routes, one long, and one short to cater for the more fragile of the veteran vehicles, which saw participants make their way to Lower Moutere for lunch. On Saturday evening the club gathered at Club Waimea for a dinner before returning there for breakfast on Sunday morning, after which they went on another run to Motueka to support the New Zealand Street Rod Nationals.

Assistance dog to help boy, Wednesday, September 14: Thanks to the generosity of those in the community, the Costello family have been able to raise enough for an assistance dog for Blake, 4, who is autistic. Blake’s severe form of autism means he is both nonverbal and has no sense of danger. In a trial with an assistance dog earlier in the year, Blake’s parents Shon and Anna saw a significant difference in his behaviour. While the dog costs $48,000 to breed, raise and train, Anna and Shon had to contribute $20,000. They now hope to get their new assistance dog before Christmas.

Richmond’s Joyce is a champion iron woman In 1991, Betty Glover asked her friend Joyce Gallagher if she would lend a hand ironing second-hand clothes at the St Vincent de Paul shop in Richmond. Joyce agreed, saying she would just help out “until they found someone to take my place.” Twenty five years later Betty has retired but Joyce, at 93, is showing no signs of slowing down, ironing a mountain of clothes at the shop every Tuesday. “I agreed to help out because it’s a good cause and I has just lost my husband (Jim) and I wanted some company,” Joyce says. “I’m still here 25 years later and every time I see Betty now I say ‘when are you getting that replacement.” Joyce says she learned how to iron as a young girl, from her mother “who was very particular”. She also has a good eye for clothes having

simon@waimeaweekly.co.nz

completed an apprenticeship as a tailoress and then working in women’s fashion houses in Christchurch before she was married. And that expert tuition still shows in Joyce’s ironing today with St Vincent de Paul’s Richmond shop manager Margaret Pattison and volunteer Sharon Booth both saying “Joyce is our best ironing lady by far.” Margaret also says Joyce has an incredibly amount of energy and they often have to tell her not to work so hard. “She always gets in here early and sweeps the floor and tidies the place up before she starts ironing. She doesn’t stop and sit down for morning tea like the rest of us either - she gets her cup of tea and brings it out to her ironing board and keeps

ironing.” Joyce is also still active at home, mowing her own lawns and maintaining her garden and, of course, doing her own ironing. “I iron just about everything. I iron all the clothes and hankies and towels but I don’t do socks.” Joyce says she has no plans to retire and will keep ironing because she likes to be busy and loves the company. She also says volunteering for St Vincent de Paul gives her an opportunity to “help somebody that needs help.” Joyce is one of 40 volunteers helping out at St Vincent de Paul’s Richmond shop which raises funds to be distributed to the community. St Vincent de Paul provides food, clothing and shelter to people in need as well as offering advocacy, budgeting and transport services.

Things Nelson MP Nick Smith has helped make happen in 2016 Government Grant for Awaroa Beach

Nick helped secure a $350,000 Government grant in February to support the “Give a Little” online crowd funding campaign that raised $2m to purchase the Awaroa beach from 40,000 kiwi donors, including his family. The iconic beach was added to the Abel Tasman National Park in July.

School of Music Funding

The School of Music is the third iconic Nelson arts facility that Nick has helped redevelop, following on from the Theatre Royal and Suter Art Gallery. Nick advocated for change to the Regional Culture and Heritage Fund criteria to enable the School of Music to be supported and subsequently helped secure a $1.5m grant.

Kiwisaver Home Grants

Nick established the Homestart scheme last year to help first home buyers with a Government grant of up to $20,000 for the deposit on a home. Nationwide 18,000 families have been helped with grants of over $80 million including 391 in the Nelson region.

Supporting Nelson Airport Upgrade

A key priority for Nick is ensuring our region has the transport, communications and water infrastructure to support the growth in population, exports and tourism. Important projects include the upgrade of our airport terminal and port infrastructure. He is also advocating for Government funding support for the Southern Link and Waimea Community Dam.

Safer, Healthier Buildings

As Building and Housing Minister Nick has put through three major pieces of legislation for safer healthier homes. The law now requires earthquake prone buildings to be upgraded, the installation of smoke alarms and insulation in rental properties and swimming pool fencing requirements have been made more practical and safer.

Cleaning up The Haven

As Environment Minister, Nick announced a $4.2m Government grant for the clean-up of Nelson Haven. The grant is a massive saving for ratepayers while ensuring the contamination issues from boat building are addressed and supporting investment in Nelson’s port facilities.

2016 SURVEY Help Nick represent your views in Parliament by answering the following questions. If more than one person would like to respond, please use a different coloured pen or contact the electorate office for more survey forms.

Q.1 CRIMINAL AGE OF RESPONSIBILITY The government is considering increasing the jurisdiction of the Youth Court to include 17 year olds except for serious violent offending as recommended by the Expert Advisory Group on children and the Children’s Commissioner. Do you support the Youth Court including 17 year olds? 

Yes



Q.2 IMMIGRATION POLICY Nett migration has increased dramatically in the last two years as the flow of 30,000 New Zealanders per year leaving has reversed. The number of people granted permanent residence has remained at about 50,000 per year. A balance is needed between allowing skilled migrants and managing the population growth pressures. Which of the following statements best describes your view of NZ immigration policy? (Choose one)     

NZ allowing far too many migrants. NZ should tighten policy a little. Policy is about right. NZ should loosen policy a little. NZ should allow a lot more migrants.

Q.3 BUDGET PRIORITIES New Zealand is one of the few developed countries where the Government is now in surplus. Huge deficits were caused by overspending last decade, the global financial crisis and the Christchurch Earthquakes. Through careful financial management, we now have choices about future priorities. What do you think should be the priority for Government in Budget 2017? (You can tick more than one box)  Welfare  Education  Health  Superfund  Police  Environment  Housing Support  Debt Reduction Any comment on issues (above or other)?_______________________________ ___________________________________________________________________

Expanding Kahurangi National Park Five new pristine areas of forest and coastline totalling 897 hectares have been added to the Kahurangi National Park. This was unfinished business from when Nick advocated for the park’s creation in the 1990s. The park is New Zealand’s second largest and is renowned for its diversity.

Investing in Children

This year the Government increased the base benefits above inflation for the first time in 42 years as well as increasing Working for Families payments by $20 per week for lower income families. Increased investment is enabling free doctor’s visits for children, extended paid parental leave and more class space for schools.

This is a summary of our annual newsletter to households. If you missed a copy please call our office on 547 2314. If you have ideas you want to discuss with Nick you can also get an appointment to see him at the Nelson Market every Saturday or the Nelson A&P Show on the weekend of 19 and 20 November.

Melbourne Cup Day 2016

P unting

Wayne Williams What a fantastic day we had with plenty of people coming along to Club Waimea to enjoy the joyous surroundings, nibbles, champagne and of course, the race. This was all followed by some great entertainment from All Soundz and some of our own sections including Sun City Rockers and Men in Accord. We want to thank all those involved in these performances as it was awesome to have

so much participation from our members, something that I personally enjoy and want to see gain momentum. Colours of the Rainbow – this was the theme and I was pleased to see so many people take up the challenge. I thank the staff for their huge effort in the organisation of Club Waimea’s Melbourne Cup celebrations and for being part of the dress challenge, look out next time. And there were prizes galore.

Hello Tipsters. Well the tipping is over for another year and what a year it was. First up was the Super 18 in which we had a record 45 registered members. It was a great competition as I injected the All Blacks/Irish tour, plus local Rugby and other sports. The 2016 Super18 champ was Lewis Della Bosca, Jenny Heywood won the Highest Woman’s Score Trophy and the Brownies Maximum Points Trophy went to John Mackle. The Biggest Stirrers Trophy went to Wayne McLaughlin (well-deserved too) and The Pink Wooden Spoon (bottom of the ladder) went to the Homes boys. This was one of the best competitions we have had, thanks to all the competitors, Club Waimea and Lion Breweries. After the Super 18 we moved straight into the Mitre10 Cup, the Heartland Cup Series

and the Investec Rugby Cup all together and just to make it very interesting on week 11, put the English Premier Rugby games in. This competition was contested very hard as the leader Bill McCallum held the Top of the Leaders Board for 10 out of the 11 weeks that was a great achievement by McCallum but just couldn’t hang on to that last week. Third place was Bill McCallum, second place was Kelvin Trower and the 2016 Mitre10 Cup Champ went to Wayne Trower. Overall it was a great year with plenty of fun, laughter and bantering going on with each other’s picks, so if you feel you would like to be involved in Club Waimea’s rugby tipping competition in 2017, please feel free to call Gary Brown on 544 4681 or just email and he will answer any enquiries.

Our Club’s Mission is to “provide social, leisure, entertainment, sporting and cultural experiences in a friendly, safe, welcoming environment to which members are proud to bring their families and friends.” I have long believed that as we seek to encourage greater patronage of Club Waimea by the members and embrace a broader cross-section of the community, promoting our club as a safe, friendly destination with family dining, then we should have a children’s entertainment area.

News Artist Jeffrey Moffitt with the garden art he entered into Eyebright’s Garden Art Expo. Run over both Saturday and Sunday, the Garden Art Expo was started last year by Eyebright owner, Peter Owen. “It seemed like a great idea and we’ve been blown away this year by the creativity,” says Peter. Around 53 pieces were entered in the expo which were then put on display in the Eyebright garden for the public to come and view. First place went to Nigel Phillips for his piece called Horny Bull, second place went to John Hegglun for Decimation of a Species and third place was awarded to Kahu Squire for her artwork entitled Don’t Drop 1080 on Us. People’s Choice was awarded to two artists, Jeffrey Moffitt for his piece called Iron Roses and Katie Mills with Mystical Garden. Photo: Jessie Johnston.

Eating I can do, eating spicy food I can also do - but eating the hottest curry the Richmond Indian Cafe could cook? Let’s just say my body doesn’t really like me at the moment. I’m not going to lie, despite growing up on Mexican food I was pretty nervous about this challenge. Give me a bowl of fiery Chilli Con Carne or a jalapeno-packed sandwich and I’m right. But ridiculously spicy curry was something I’d never tried and I had no idea how much they planned to turn up the heat. That first spoonful of chicken vindaloo was an abrupt warning of what was to come and let me tell you, it wasn’t pretty. Going into the challenge, I was expecting something similar to post break-up tears and post cross fit sweats. What I got was one hell of a burning oesophagus, hot flushes, heat rashes, watering eyes, a running nose and a sweaty, shaky body, but what packed the big-

within and the contents inside my stomach decided to reenact a giant freight ship being tossed about in a storm. My unsettled tummy then decided he wanted to party with his best friend, nausea, and I was the only one not having a good time. It wasn’t until the usually bubbly and talkative Brittany became dead silent that the guys realised how plausible regurgitating my lunch was. Did they show any sympathy? Like hell they did. On the drive back to the office, the car was filled with fake spewing sounds and, at many points, I almost joined in with real ones. I had to chant the mantra ‘I’m not going to vomit, I’m not going to vomit’ all the way home. Much to the guys' disgust, I proceeded to projectile across the leather seats… just kidding, somehow I surprised everyone, including myself, and kept it down. Although I’m sure they would have enjoyed watching me blow chunks across the car. One point to Brittany. Over the next couple of days, my tummy kept playing up and unfortunately I can vouch that it hurt almost as much coming out as it did going in. I would not recommend this challenge to anyone.

Focus on WakeField Does your vehicle need some attention?

We’ll make sure you’re good to go! Students from Wakefield School had a great time exploring the Abel Tasman during their camp.

Wakefield School visits the Abel Tasman Conrad McKenna, Karearea 9 Wakefield School students had a great camp in the Abel Tasman National Park recently, taking part in a number of activities, including a water taxi trip to the start off their tramp. “When we got there, we got ready and set off. It was tiring since I’m not really into walking, but somehow I managed. As the rest of the class overtook me and my friends, we kept walking and we finally got to a point where we found them sitting down eating and handing

out lollies to people. We had lunch and then carried on, at that moment I was exhausted and lost all but one of my friends. We talked and soon enough we found a pool called, ‘Halfway Pool.’ We got really excited and we waited there for some of the others that we overtook somehow. Finally, we arrived at the beach and hung out around the salty water. We saw a water taxi and thought it was our one but moments later we realised it wasn’t. After the long wait at the beach the water taxi finally arrived and it was

time for us to go back to camp. On the ride back, we asked if we could do donuts, but the boat drivers only said ‘maybe’. Since we were sitting in the front I overheard the driver saying “should we do donuts?” Then I heard the other one saying “Yeah,” so we ended up doing donuts on the way back. you se? e r We arrived A hou g n at camp and i mov were all glad to be back.

Around 20 children and parents visited the farm and had an exciting morning meeting the animals. Spring was the perfect time to visit as there were lambs, calves and a duckling which the children could pet and feed. Highlights for the children included pony rides, feeding apples to the pigs and pretending to drive the old tractor.

Health and Reminder for emergency kits wellness expo comes to Nelson Kate Russell

Although Nelson came through relatively unscathed after Monday morning’s earthquake, it is a timely reminder for residents to have their emergency survival kits ready to go, and to have a plan in place. Nelson Tasman Emergency Management says households and workplaces should be prepared with an emergency kit that includes: a torch and radio with spare batteries, wind and waterproof clothing, face and dust masks, a first aid kit, blankets or sleeping bags, pet supplies, toilet paper and a large rubbish bag. You should also include enough food and water for at least three days, including non-perishable foods, plenty of bottled water, a can opener and a primus or gas barbeque. Those with babies or young children should also make sure they have formula, food and drink, nappies, wipes and spare clothing. If you need to evacuate, it is also a good idea to have a ‘getaway kit’ for everyone in the house. This should include emergency drinking water and food, a first aid kit and essential medicines, baby items, toiletries, pet supplies, blankets and extra clothing. Important documents, such as identification, financial documents and precious photos should also be packed,

Jessie Johnston The Nelson Health and Wellness Expo is on this weekend and will be full of beneficial information and services for your mind, body and spirit. Lesley Evans has been a clinical hypnotherapist for 13 years, working with people from all walks of life including adults and children suffering illness and post-traumatic stress from the Christchurch earthquakes. “I’ve seen the need for a place where people can learn and experience different ways of being healthy, so I decided to create the Nelson Health and Wellness Expo which will run four times a year,” says Lesley. “My vision is to bring about more awareness of what contributes to our general health and wellness. Stress is a big factor in illness in society now, and to be well and healthy is not the norm anymore.” The expo will feature around 20 exhibitors from all six areas of health, including emotional, social, physical, mental, environmental and spiritual. People will be able to sample what they have to offer as well as listen to free talks and demonstrations. The Nelson Health and Wellness Expo will be held at the Trafalgar Hall at 67 Trafalgar St on Sunday, November 20. Starting at 10am, adult’s entry will be $5 while children are free.

An emergency kit assembled by a local family. and it can be a good idea to include some extra cash. Nelson Tasman Emergency Management also recommend that you place your emergency kits somewhere that is easy to get to and make sure everyone in your house knows where it is kept. They also recommend that you check all batteries every three months and that battery-powered lighting is the safest and easiest, as candles can tip over in earthquake aftershocks, or in a gust of wind. Nelson City Council communications manager Paul Shattock says the earthquake shows us that a natural disaster can happen at any time.

“It is really important that you and your family take the time to make a plan, and are prepared when an event occurs,” he says. “The Nelson region was lucky with this event, and this will act as a reminder, for us all, to have those plans in place. “Remember – if an earthquake hits, then drop, cover and hold.” For more advice on how to get prepared, go to: http://nelsontasmancivil defence.co.nz/getting-prepared/. Copies of the Nelson Tasman Emergency Management Plan are also available from their management office, libraries, council offices and service centres.

Multiple birth group well supported Parents and their children at the Richmond Multiple Birth Support Group at the Richmond Plunket rooms on Oxford St last week. Photo: Simon Bloomberg. Simon Bloomberg Richmond mum Jodie Lodge didn’t have a honeymoon when she got married and she isn’t expecting one anytime soon. In fact, since Jodie married Jez just over a year ago life has been so busy they haven’t had time for anything. That’s because their life was turned upside by the arrival of twins William and Elizabeth just four days after their wedding.

e r o t S ow n I n

“We didn’t have a honeymoon and now we’ll probably have to wait until the twins move out,” Jodie says. “It’s so busy looking after them - I’m tired all the time. “The first six months were the worst because you had to do everything for them. Now, I don’t have to spoon feed them and they play together really well so I can have five minutes sitting down and relaxing and just watching them.”

Jodie also gets a nice break when she heads along to the Richmond Multiple Birth Support Group at the Richmond Plunket Rooms every Tuesday. “When they run around they always go in opposite directions, so it’s nice to come here where’s there’s safe fence all the way around. I’ve also just found a cafe in Stoke that has a fence, so I go there sometimes too.” Jodie says the Tuesday morning

support group is an opportunity for her to talk to other parents about the challenges of looking after twins and triplets. The group presently has five sets of twins and two sets of triplets aged from 15 months to two and half years, so there’s always something to discuss. Debbie Harvie from Community Karitane says the meetings are an opportunity for the parents to relax and enjoy a morning tea, of-

ten provided by Plunket sponsor Muffin Break, while their children play. Muffin Break is also running a dollar-for-dollar sponsorship for Plunket during November. The multiple birth support group meets at the Richmond Plunket Rooms at 56 Oxford St every Tuesday from 10.30am to 12pm. Anyone interested in joining the group can contact Debbie at the Plunket Rooms or phone her on 544 7554.

Cider fest a success Jessie Johnston The New Zealand Cider Festival certainly impressed in every way, in spite of the gloomy weather. Around 19 New Zealand cider companies brought over 80 different cider varieties to Nelson and the public responded, with hundreds braving the rain and heading to Founders Park on Saturday afternoon. “Considering the day, the turnout is brilliant, I would rate this

as being a hell of a success,” says Rob Marshall of McCashins. “Given the apple industry and so forth and cider being such an important part of the Nelson, the concept of it is long overdue, we should have had it years ago.” From the traditional crisp and sweet apple ciders to those slightly more experimental, like the Mussel Inn’s Hot Dogfish, a spicy chilli cider, there was something for everyone’s taste buds and plenty of information about the

ay d r u t a s s i h t

cider-making process. “It’s really interesting seeing the consumer interest in what type of cider they want to try, and learning all about the different sorts,” says Emma McCashin. “They’re asking lots of questions, quite technical stuff, they want to know all about it.” While the number of those who attended the festival hasn’t yet been totalled, organiser Ali Lawley says she estimates Stephanie White, left, Hannah Hutton-Smith, Sam Snaith and Elaine between 1100 and 1200 people Healy at the very first New Zealand Cider Festival, at Founders on Satcame through the gates. urday.

Antoinette Irvine Hope Community Church I don’t need Christmas! Commercial pressure, expectations, religious jargon, financial worries – I don’t need it. I’m making a stand – Christmas shall not exist. Ah, that’s better. But is it? I was reading an editorial in a magazine the other day about the Peace of God. It got me thinking. Peace is not something we often think of when we ‘do’ Christmas nowadays. What if, under the Christmas tree this year, I could unwrap a present of peace and another one of wholeness, one of joy, one of love, one of hope, one of restoration and one of immense gratitude and thankfulness for God creating me and loving me so much. Not just for me but for everyone. What a party. It would be an awesome Christmas. If only I could invite Jesus in his

physical form (like 2000 years ago) to my place for Christmas lunch under the gazebo. He could turn my mediocre wine into the best there is. We would have great conversation – the sort you never tire of or want to end. I would sit in his company and feel the most amazing tenderness, compassion, love and warmth from him ever experienced – ever. This excites me. The thought of Jesus taking primo place at my Christmas table. He wouldn’t be worried about fancy food – he would be wanting time with me. This Christmas, know that you are loved. You are cherished as the precious creation of God Almighty. He delights in you and has made himself known to you through Jesus Christ on Earth. He is alive and wants to be at your Christmas Dinner this year. Set a primo place for him – He is true, He is God. He is worth it – absolutely.

Grant for creek clean-up Simon Bloomberg

Trish Todd and her neighbours Cathy Hughson and Victoria Reid can’t wait until a small creek that runs through their properties on Lower Queen St and Lansdowne Rd springs back to life after years of environmental neglect. Nieman Creek is one of two small, spring-fed creeks which enter the Waimea Estuary either side of the Waimea River, west of Richmond. It used to provide valuable habitat for native fish species, including large populations of galaxids and eels, until becoming degraded by sedimentation and low oxygen and high nitrate levels. But last Wednesday, Nelson MP and Environment Minister Nick Smith announced a $67,000 Community Environment Fund grant will be used to restore the creek’s water quality. The project will be conducted by the Tasman Environmental Trust along with the Tasman District Council, Department of Conservation and land owners and is expected to start early next year. Trish, who has lived on the banks of Nieman Creek for 30 years, says she can remember when it was a free-flowing, pristine

stream full of native fish and she can’t wait for it to be restored. She says the landowners have already made some progress, fencing off the stream from stock and planting native trees and shrubs along the banks but the $67,000 grant will speed up the restoration project. “I remember when my nephew and his friends were eeling in the creek and caught a (rare) giant kokopu in the net,” Trish says. “It’s been a long time coming, and

there have been a lot of promises, so it’s exciting finally seeing the creek cleaned-up.” Cathy and Victoria are also excited about the project with Cathy saying the first thing she did when she moved onto their property nine years ago was fence off the stream to stock. Cathy has also planted a number of native trees along the banks of the creek. Council water resources scientist Trevor James says the first step in the clean-up will be to remove

Hello Readers, It has been a bit of an odd week for us all, the US elections dominated our media like it was the only thing that was happening in the world and I can understand why. There may be some significant change ahead of us. New Zealand may have some trade issues but only time will tell. The media were quick to report the sudden down turn in the share market but not so quick to report that it was almost back to normal within 24 hours.

the aquatic weed infestation and clean out the sediment which smothers the aquatic insects that live in streams. Planting riparian vegetation will ensure the stream is shaded which will lower the temperature and increase the oxygen levels needed to support aquatic ecosystems. Trevor says they will be using newly developed technology, called a sand wand, to remove the sediment from between the cobbles without disturbing the

streambed. He says the majority of the work will be completed in two to three years but the project will be on-going for about 10 years. Nick says the project will follow a similar model to the Pearl Creek restoration which involved the land owners, community groups and schools. He says “New Zealand needs to lift its management of freshwater” and start making a difference “river by river, creek by creek”.

There was also good news for Nelson’s Zoe Walker who has been named as one of four development squad players for the upcoming season. Shannon, a midcourter, is now considered a regular in the national team, while Zoe has been on the cusp for the past two seasons and has had good form for the Mainland Tactix.

Silver Ferns coach Janine Southby says she is excited by the progress of the squad over the last 12 months. “We have introduced a number of new players to the Silver Ferns environment over the last 12 months – five players made their Silver Ferns debut in 2016 which is an indication of the depth we are building in all areas of the court,” Southby said. The Silver Ferns team for the Netball Quad Series in South Africa and England in January/February 2017 will be announced in December.

Nelson judo on the rise after national honours Jacob Page

These are exciting times for the Nelson Judo Club. The club, which had just a handful of members three years ago, has rejuvenated itself and now has six national titles and three national bronze medals to show for it. The club now has more than 70 members, including a strong junior base, which is exciting considering the club is hoping to move to bigger, more modern facilities by Victory Boxing at the end of the year Paul Hammett, in the masters men’s open and Joshua Nahi in the senior men under 100kg, both won gold, while Louise Kelly, senior and junior women’s under 70kg and Raphael Ravenau, in the senior men under 66kg and masters men under-73kg each won two gold medals. Jesse Wall, Zak Hammett and Aidan Burke all earned bronze medals. The improvement in green-belt Joshua typified the surge in the club, according to coach and mentor John Maxwell. “He won the North Island, South Island and National Championships,” John says. “At the start of the year he was a yellow belt and now he’s beating the best black belts in the

“They’re here to train hard, not rip each other’s heads off. “We have phenomenal support with our parents. They don’t do a dump and run and treat us like a babysitting service, many of them stay and get involved and many have taken up judo because of their children or grandchildren. “We all train to compete, we are

working towards things.” The club is hopeful of continuing to create judo players who are competing on the international stage. They are no strangers to producing Commonwealth Games-capable athletes, but it is hoped the new facility would boost the profile and popularity of the sport in Nelson.

The club is keen to invest in its future and the junior numbers was highlighted at the Central Districts Closed Judo Championships at Nelson College Hall on Sunday. A large number of Nelson juniors competed with distinction at the event which saw a good crowd of family and friends supporting the athletes all day.

Tasman Utd don’t capitalise in opener Jacob Page James Hoyt provided the lone highlight in a frustrating home debut for Tasman United in a 3-1 defeat to Hawke's Bay United. It leaves the debuting team with two wins and two draws after four games. James' strike from distance midway through the first half was another smartly taken goal, but the problem is, despite creating a mountain of goal-scoring chances, Tasman could not add to it. “I was hoping to get off the mark at home; I saw the space and went for it. “I usually come in off the left and then bang it with my right foot. “When I scored the goal I couldn’t hear myself talk,” James says. The 26-year-old, who was one of the last signings for Tasman, says there is frustration in the changing sheds. “We are sitting there in the sheds and we feel like the goals are coming. “We just need a bit of luck and then we’ll be banging in goals. “We are coming off the field knowing that 3-1 was how it ended but not really how things went.” Coach Richard Anderson cut a dejected figure post-match and was brutally honest in his assessment.

Tasman United winger James Hoyt scored a nice goal but Tasman's lack of finishing hurt them again in a 3-1 home defeat to Hawke's Bay United at Trafalgar Park on Sunday. Photo: Jacob Page. “I don’t think there is ever going to be, in the history of football, especially this premiership, such a one-sided 3-1 defeat. “The position we find ourselves in is completely unsustainable – we can’t create the amount of chances we have done and refuse to score and not pick up wins. “We need to be more robust in defence... We need to be more organised quicker, so we are harder to break down. “We have very talented individuals who play excellent football, but we need to work harder to make sure that when we lose possession we are stronger defensively and

harder to score against.” Richard praised Hawke’s Bay goal keeper Josh Hill for a number of important saves. Tasman United goal keeper Coey Turipa left the game in the first half with a shoulder injury and he was in a sling post-match, but the severity of the injury would not be known until later in the week. Richard says he expected his team's form to improve rapidly and they deserved more reward for their endeavour, which has not happened yet. One positive for Tasman was the support they received, with 2583 at Trafalgar Park. Tasman will play Hamilton Wanderers away this Sunday.

People who own a Weber BBQ simply rave about them. We hear it all the time. It’s because you just can’t beat the flavour of food barbecued to perfection. Grilling steaks, roasting whole joints of meat, even baking pizzas - all to perfection! If you’ve never tasted food cooked on a Weber BBQ, then this Saturday find out what everyone is talking about. Drop into Zink to Taste the difference. The team from Weber will be putting Special model Weber BBQs through their paces. They’ll show you how to grill the perfect steak, cook mouth watering roasts, crackle pork, bake beautiful pizzas and even cakes. You can even take control of the tongs and cook your own steak!

Landlords!

I am a 54 year old, clean, single person, employed, who needs a rental. Long term be great! I promise to keep it clean, keep it tidy and treat it like my own. I’m also a good neighbour and live very quietly. I do have an old cat who pretty much sleeps non-stop, but I love her. I have great references and have always paid rent on time, so you won’t have any problem with me. I would love a 2 bedroom, maybe 3, in a quiet location around $350 - $380 per week. Need something pretty soon. Please text or call Steve on 0275 449 448 anytime. Thank you.

ATTENTION: FORMER SAWMILL WORKERS WHO WERE EMPLOYED IN THE TIMBER INDUSTRY FROM 1950-1990

The Ministry of Health is providing a Special Support Service for former sawmill workers who were historically exposed to pentachlorophenol (PCP) during the course of their employment in the 1950s to the late 1980s. The Sawmill Workers Service aims to help people stay healthy by supporting the early detection of diseases, promoting healthy lifestyles and reducing modifiable risk factors. The Sawmill Workers Service is based on a free annual health check delivered by your usual GP.

GETTING MORE INFORMATION

The Ministry of Health Special Support Service staff will be at the Nelson A&P Show on the 19th and 20th of November. You can visit us at our information site near the food court. We will be available to discuss the service and assist with completing application forms. Alternatively, to receive an application pack or further information on the Sawmill Workers Service, please contact the Ministry of Health: Email: info@health.govt.nz Telephone: 0800 288 588 www.health.govt.nz/dioxins

You will then be required to monitor the delivaery of the product, doing audits, training and recruitment of distributors when required. Anticipated hours per week are 10 to15 hours. You will be working for Reach Media, a national company 50% owned by NZ Post Please apply to Steve on 027 246 0068 or steve.bamford@reachmedia.co.nz
