Fiery start to 2015 for brigade The Richmond Volunteer Fire Brigade has had a busy start to the year with 23 call outs in the first 27 days and they could get even busier if the Tasman district continues to dry out.

Chief fire officer, Ralph Lonsdale says the brigade’s 30 volunteers have attended a wide range of calls including scrubs fires, medical emergencies, false alarms and property fires. The brigade joined forces with crews from Stoke and Nelson to battle

a house fire on Paton Rd on January 2 and the heat has been on ever since with some volunteers spending an estimated 15-25 hours “on the truck” this month.

Brigade members also responded to one very important call last Saturday, acting as bearers at the funeral of former long-serving fire chief, Roger Williams. Roger was Richmond’s chief from 1967 to 1988 and passed away last Sunday.

“It’s been one of the busiest starts to the

simon@waimeaweekly.co.nz year that I can remember,” Ralph says. “We had 19 call outs in the first 19 days and we didn’t really get a break until last Saturday.

“One or two of the brigade would have been to most of them so it’s been hell of a commitment. We have 30 volunteers

but you might only get eight or nine turning out because people are working out of town or have been away on holiday with their families.”

Volunteer Kegan Hodge, who has been to 16 of the calls this month, says it has been “hard on everyone’s families” but they all understand the brigade is providing a vital community service. A diesel mechanic at

Heslops, Kegan says the volunteers’ employers are also very understanding.

Tim Westenra, who has attended 11 of the 23 call outs, and has a busy job as operations manager at Brenics, says the brigade has had a frenetic start to the year, making his long days at the office even longer.

“I’ll be late for work again,” he told the Waimea Weekly after attending call out number 11 at Waimea Intermediate on Tuesday.

Nathan Freeman (11 calls), Craig Clayworth (10) and Al Ferguson (nine) have also been busy. The Richmond Brigade has attended seven false

alarms, six property fires, four special service calls including three ambulance assists, three fire alarm activations, two motor vehicle accidents and one vegetation fire so far this month.

And the bad news for the brigade is that their workload is likely to increase if the hot, dry weather continues.

The Waimea Rural Fire Network has already stopped issuing permits for open fires and operations manager Doug Ashford says further restrictions will be implemented unless there is significant rain.

Doug says that roadside mowing will be banned from next week while a restriction is likely be placed on the hours of

forestry operations.

“The fire danger is moderate to high and we are managing but if the wind gets up it would go to high or extreme very quickly. We have been lucky so far because people in Nelson are very conscious of the fire danger and take extra steps to make sure they don’t take any risks.”

Doug says they are advising everyone to be cautious when working outdoors, particularly when grinding, welding, mowing lawns or working with anything that may create a spark.

People should dampen down the area surrounding their work site and only mow your lawns in the morning or evening to minimise the risk.

Intermediate so full it’s turning students away Simon Bloomberg Waimea Intermediate’s roll will hit a new record high of 670 when school starts next month and it could have been even bigger with about 30 outof-zone students being turned away because of a lack of classrooms.

Principal Cleve Shearer says the school “knew the increase was coming” with demographic data forecasting a peak in intermediate-aged children in the Tasman district in 2015.

The school had a roll of 630 last year and, on the basis of that data, was planning for an increase of around 20 students.

However, Cleve says the roll will be even bigger than expected because of enrolments from families moving into the district. The school has accepted 19 out-of-zone students this year but has been forced to turn down “over 30” applications because of a lack of resources.

“We got so many out-of-zone applications we stopped counting. We haven’t taken any year eight out-of-zone students - we just have too many kids.”

Cleve says the number of enrolments from families moving into the district caught them by surprise and they haven’t had

Waimea Intermediate School principal Cleve Shearer. time to get a new classroom.

The school has appointed one new teacher and will convert its science room into a classroom this year to accommodate the extra students.

“We aren’t that happy about losing our science room that but we don’t have a choice,” he says.

Cleve says the selection process for out-of-zone applications has been difficult for both the school and parents. He says the school has worked “really hard” to ensure that it has been fair but has still faced some challenges from parents.

“It’s been uncomfortable but we have followed a standard process that is used by other schools and have been very fair.”

Waimea Intermediate will have 23 classes this year.

Nelson College is also running out of room and will be taking classes in the school’s boarding houses this year as the student population outgrows the number of desks and chairs available.

The region’s oldest college will welcome 1210 students when it re-opens next week, up on 1080 at the same time last year and head master Gary O’Shea says that’s putting pressure on the school’s resources.

Gary says the growth has come from the Tasman district and Stoke with many families opting to send their boy to a single-sex school.

He says 40 boys have been enrolled from Broadgreen Intermediate alone.

At Waimea College, the roll has remained steady with almost the same number of students enrolling this year as last, 1541, compared to 1535 at the start of 2014.

Garin College has recorded an increase with 510 students enrolling this year, up from 488 last year.

Bikes and caravans invited to wine and food festival Simon Bloomberg

Organisers of the Brightwater Wine and Food Festival being held at Middle Earth Vineyard on Sunday, February 15 are introducing one or two new innovations for the 11th edition of the popular event.

Enjoying great wine, beer, food and live entertainment in Middle-Earth’s picturesque vineyard has always been the big attraction of the festival which is run by Richmond Rotary as a fundraiser for the community. But this year Richmond Rotary have tweaked the festival to make it more family-orientated with parents being encouraged to bring their children.

“We used to try and pretend that kids didn’t exist which hasn’t worked so we are

changing things around this year,” Rotary’s Pete Glue says. “Children under-12 will still be free but we are catering for them this year with a children’s area.

“Brightwater School is organising that and they know exactly how to entertain kids.

It will make the whole event a lot more family-friendly.”

Pete says they are also keen to encourage people to use alternative transport to get to the festival so they can enjoy a wine and beer without worrying about drink-driving. He says biking along the Tasman Great Taste Cycle Trail or taking a bus are two alternatives while they are also encouraging campervan owners to consider staying the night at Middle-Earth Vineyard.

“Everybody is concerned about the new,

low alcohol limits so we wanted to actively promote safe alternatives. It means people can enjoy the wine and beer without needing a sober driver to get home.

“The cycle trail goes right past MiddleEarth so it’s really convenient. Biking to the festival is also part of the Nelson Bikefest which starts this month.”

Rotary is also providing security for cars and bikes left at the vineyard on Sunday night for anyone deciding to catch a bus or ride home. The bus service will be operating between Nelson and Brightwater with picks up from all SBL Service bus stops on the route as well as outside the Richmond Holiday Park, Three Brothers Corner, Hope Store and Eden Rd. The bus will leave the Nelson SBL Depot at

10.30am and Stoke at Songer St corner at 10:50am. It will leave Brightwater at 4pm, 5pm and 5.30pm.

Pete says they have a good line-up of Nelson entertainers for this year’s event including Urban, Kramit, Paul Madsen and Antoni Neal.

There will be the usual wide range of wine, beer and food stalls at the event which last year raised $29,800 for the community.

Tickets can be purchased from for $15 from Colour Plus Richmond, Haven Realty offices in Nelson and Richmond, Wakefield Supermarket, Brightwater Motors, Specsavers in the Richmond Mall, Village Cycles in Richmond and Paper Plus Nelson. Tickets will be sold at the gate on the day for $20.

Skate tour finishes in Richmond Jacob Chandler

The Tasman Skatepark Tour concluded in Richmond with another year of grinds, jumps and flips.

Young people came from all over the region to compete in the event which included competitions for BMX bikers, skateboarders and scooters, with junior, senior and open sections.

Competitors are judged on many factors such as style, tricks and skatepark utilisation. Tom Bassett-Eason, 13, represented Takaka and took out the first place prize for senior BMX.

He says he put a lot of preparation into practising for the event. “I just go to the skatepark everyday and I have my own dirt jumps in my backyard.”

He says he had been riding for seven years and loves competing. “I come here every year and just do the best I can.”

Tom also competed at Mapua, Takaka, Tapawera and Brightwater competitions, scoring enough points to be crowned overall BMX champion. Tom will receive a $400 Giant Method BMX. Kelsyn MacDonald, 12, of Tapawera won the scooter championship and Reggie Mcdonald, 11, of Takaka won the skate-

board championship.

Corey Muir, 12, of Nelson says he wasn’t too sure how he went after his scooter run, but was thankful of his supporters.

“When you fail a trick, sometimes you fail a whole run.”

He says he was lucky to land his final trick. “I landed my last trick. I don’t usually land that pri/whip/air.”

Event organiser Paul McConachie says it was another successful year for the event and it was great to see the youth utilising the skateparks. “The skatepark fraternity is strong, with a bunch of more experienced riders showing great support.”

Driver spins out of control in Lee Valley

A teenage driver narrowly missed hitting people at a popular picnic reserve on Sunday as her attempted burn-out spun out of control.

The 19-year-old driver attempted to do a burn -out while leaving the Lee Valley picnic area at around 5pm but she lost control of the car.

It spun out of control, “careered” across the carpark and hit a parked vehicle before going over a bank.

Police are investigating the incident and speaking with witnesses. Constable Peter Jackson, of Nelson, says the reserve was packed with cars and children and it was sheer luck that only one other vehicle was hit during the incident.

The 19-year-old woman was taken to hospital with minor injuries and police are awaiting the results of a blood alcohol test.

It is unclear if her injuries resulted from the crash as witnesses also reported she was involved in a scuffle with a group of people immediately after the crash at the reserve.

Rodeo is a family affair for Nisbetts

Monique Bergman Reporter

monique@waimeaweekly.co.nz The cowboys and cowgirls rode into town to compete in the action packed annual Richmond Rodeo last Saturday.

The sunshine was out in full force and so was the crowd at the Richmond A&P Showgrounds. Rodeo Secretary, Tina Angus-Phyn, says there were a record number of entries this year and the standard of stock was very high.

“In terms of standard for competition, we have had the best we have ever had in Nelson this year, with North Islanders coming down chasing national titles”, says Tina.

For one Wai-iti family, Rodeo is in the blood, with three generations being involved in the event on Saturday. The late Leo Nisbett had been involved in rodeo since 1973 and was president of the Rodeo Club until his passing. His wife, Sharon, is now treasurer for the club and son Ben is a pick-up rider. Ben’s six-year-old son, Dustin, also competed on the day, in the calf ride.

Ben remembers always being around rodeo and grew up travelling with his dad to competitions and has continued that tradition with his own young family. He still competes and trains three times a week for pick up riding and practices stock work. His wife Sarita and their two children, Dustin and Lexie often join him on an evening ride.

“Dad taught me a lot about rodeo and hopefully Dustin will compete one day plus Sarita and Lexie will do barrel riding. It’s an adrenaline rush when you are out there doing it”, says Ben. The event organized by the Richmond Rodeo Club included bareback riding, saddle bronc, calf roping and riding, barrel racing, steer wrestling, team roping, steer riding and the ever popular bull riding. “For a small club, we put on a big event, which is only possible thanks to all of our sponsors and the community. We have volunteers from Christchurch, Blenheim, the West Coast and some of them we don’t see for a year but they all turn up to help out on the day”, says Tina.

Local boys Marty and Wayne McCormack, took home the team roping winning prize, with Marty roping around the head and brother Wayne around the heels.

Barrel racing, a female only competition, received record entries this year with riders from all around the country competing in the event that sees them riding in a cloverleaf pattern around three barrels as quickly as possible.

The most popular event on the day however, was the bull riding and this year’s thrills and spills didn’t disappoint with big eight-second bulls on show. Darren Bird outclassed his colleagues from North Island to take out the prestigious event.

Local ceremony for first NZer killed in WWI Simon Bloomberg

The 100th anniversary of the first battlefield death of a New Zealand soldier in World War I, will be held at St James Church at Ngatimoti on February 5.

Twenty-two-year old Private William Arthur Ham from Ngatimoti was fatally wounded from a ricocheted bullet which struck his neck in Ismailia in Egypt. William, who was a member of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force, died from his wounds at Ismaila Hospital on the evening of February 5 and was buried the following day at the Ismailia Civil cemetery.

One of Richmond’s wellknown identities, Ted Currie, passed away just prior to Christmas, aged 88. Before he died he talked with Waimea Weekly about his memories of growing up and living in Richmond.

In 1927, Ted’s father Dr William Currie, purchased a medical practice and property in Richmond, now known as Washbourn Gardens. William, who was working in Hamilton, brought down a wife, daughter and twin boys with him. At the time, the population of Richmond was about 750, a far cry from today’s figure of around 14,000.

In those days it was a rural town, with Queen St having a chemist, a hairdresser and around three grocery-style stores. George and Edward streets were just being opened up for housing and there were seldom any cars on the road.

William, an avid gardener, was responsible for a lot of the planting on the property and used to keep a hoe beside his front door, so he could weed if a patient was late. He also kept a cow which he milked every morning and evening.

Ted lived in the house with his twin brother Hugh and

They had fun playing in the grounds of the property but also worked hard, helping to maintain the gardens and were paid one shilling per bucket of weeds.

“We were a little naughty and unrestrained as our mother had passed away at a young age, so we were able to get away with quite a lot. They were very carefree days and overall, good memories,” Ted recalled.

He attended Richmond School, then later Nelson College and remembered joining his father on his afternoon patient rounds.

They travelled across the district in his Plymouth Airflow car, which was very rare for those days. It was a hard time economically and many of his father’s patients could only afford to pay for their visits with meat, fruit and vegetables.

“A lot of young people played sport but I ran a mile from it, as it didn’t suit me. I was always out in the garden and

It was very common for college children to take the train to school. It ran from Glenhope through to Nelson however, William insisted Ted and Hugh ride their bicycles to Nelson College each day, no mean feat over unsealed roads.

On the odd occasion they were allowed to take the train they would hear the train whistle blowing as it departed Hope Station and would run down to meet it in lower Queen Street.

After leaving Nelson College, Ted studied dentistry at Otago University and established a dental practice in New Street, Nelson with Hugh. He met his future wife Barbara, on a skiing trip with the Nelson Ski Club and they continued their friendship when she made an appointment at his dental practice.

“The appointment was put into my brother’s book but he had an inkling I liked Barbara and moved it into my book.”

William died in 1939 and ownership of the Washbourn property was passed to his widow, and then, in turn, to Ted and Barbara, who worked hard to maintain the garden that had been created by the doctor. He regarded Richmond as a safe and happy place to

The couple sold a large part of the three acre grounds surrounding the house to the Tasman District Council in 1976, and the rest of the land and house was sold to council in 1987.

However, they didn’t move very far. While doing the dishes one day, Barbara heard a hammer banging. She looked out of the kitchen window and saw someone putting up a ‘for sale’ sign on the hill nearby which was an animal paddock. They bought one of the sections above the stream, built a home on the site and lived there throughout Ted’s retirement.

Sarau Festival takes on extra meaning

Sunday’s Sarau Festival will not only celebrate the Moutere’s blackcurrant harvest but will also commemorate the men from the district who fought in World War 1.

Mapua’s Eileen Thawley has been compiling information on all the soldiers which will be displayed in a history tent at the festival. She hopes people with connections to the soldiers will visit the festival and read about the transport ships, war grave data as well as the mayor’s speech given when the soldiers departed Nelson.

Festival coordinator Jenny Leith says, that along with the Moutere’s history, plenty of other activities will be on offer for every-

one to enjoy.

Celebrity chef, Steve Richards from award winning café Jester House, will be cooking up some favourites and two interesting guests will also speak. Brand manager for Frucor Beverages, Brooke Bayliss-Browne will talk about the use of Stevia in food and beverages and Claire Dallison, New Zealand Tall Black Manager will speak about Sujon powder and its use with top end athletes.

There will be over 100 stalls including arts, crafts and food from the district. Entertainment is sponsored by Ribena and features Trudi Wilson and Jasper, the Raijin

Huge support for Archibald family Monique Bergman Tyrell Archibald and his family have been overwhelmed at the generosity of local companies and individuals who have offered their services to help out with the family’s house build in Mahana.

Waimea Weekly reported on Tyrell last week, who has sadly been diagnosed with terminal cancer and wishes to build a home for his young family.

Several companies pledged their support, including Phoebe Guthrie Riordan putting on a variety show at The Playhouse at the end of February with 100 percent of door sales donated to the family, Kleenaway Services donating a builders clean and Ruby Tuesday’s Hairdressers in Richmond holding a raffle which raised over $200 for the cause.

As well as these, numerous building companies have jumped on board to help, with Advanced Access Solutions providing seven tonnes of scaffolding, Tasman Roofing supplying the fascia, guttering and roof, Think Water Tanks and Rounce Project Solutions assisting with water tanks and septic systems, Higgins and CJ Industries with concrete, Bayleys Motueka offering to purchase a dishwasher and Wakefield Quarry offering rocks for landscaping.

Friends and family of Tyrell say there have been so many more offers of help and they would like to thank everyone who has contacted them for support.

Thank you: I had reason to use both the After Hours Medical Centre and Accident and Emergency in Nelson, while I was here briefly. I found both places to be well run and efficient, but most of all I found the staff excellent. They were very patient, friendly and professional as well as personable. I have never heard so much laughter in an A&E before.

Thank you for taking good care of me and well done Nelson for having such excellent facilities. Fiona.

Grey Power: When is Nelson Grey Power vice -president [Kevin] Gardener going to release the legal opinion promised to members before the aborted Special General Meeting, to supposedly endorse their unconstitutional actions in trying to dismiss the president, Neville Male. “It will be available in 36 hours”. Well that has long passed and we the members who are paying for this legal opinion want to know what the opinion states.

Are the claims of the “rebel group” that the vote of no confidence in the president held on 24 November 2014 automatically invoked clause 10.5 of the constitution, dismissing the president immediately, endorsed? Have all the “rebel” committee meetings held since the 24th of November complied with recognised NZ meeting practices and procedures and are constitutional? Why are there no minutes available for the members? And, most importantly, did the “rebel group” have the authority to dismiss the association secretary without notice or meeting natural justice requirements? The more this “group” does, the worse the situation is getting.

Time they all resigned and let Neville and positive people get on with promoting Nelson Grey Power.

Music lovers descend on Nelson this week

Nelson is set to experience its biennial influx of well-heeled music lovers this week, with the Adam Chamber Music Festival drawing in guest stars and concert lovers from across the country and the globe.

This is the 13th of the biennial festivals and

is New Zealand’s only truly international festival.

It attracts close to ten per cent of its audience from off-shore, as well as the international musicians.

Bridget Budget answers your questions

Q: School lunches are costing

me too much, how can I make them cheaper?

A: Get back to basics and save yourself cash lunchbox tips that won’t break the bank:

 Freeze: yoghurt, home-made muffins, baking etc. has the added benefit of keeping the lunchbox cool.  Make your own jelly with fruit.  Make popcorn - can be flavoured to taste.  Cut raw veges into shapes/batons (e.g. carrot, cucumber) or try a handful of cherry tomatoes. ck to it!  Buy fruit that is in season to get the best deal.  Sandwiches don’t have to be boring; try getting the kids to make their own.  Get creative: make ordinary foods look interesting with different shapes and presentations.

New manager for Richmond RDA Richmond Riding for Disabled’s new riding coach Kym Murdoch’s first job will be to get the horses ready for the new term which starts at their Champion Rd grounds on February 9.

Once the RDA’s 12 horses and 65 students are back in the saddle, Kym’s next priority will be recruiting more volunteers to help run the group’s day to day operation. Kym, who moved from Christchurch to start her new job last week, says they presently have 20 volunteers but desperately need more.

“We have 20 volunteers but we are always looking for more,” Kym says. “We can’t function without our wonderful volunteers.

“You don’t have to be a horsey person to help out because there’s so many different jobs to do around here. We need people to lead the horses, muck out, groom, maintain equipment and the grounds and come in at weekends to check the horses.”

Kym, who has “been around horses all my life” and has three horses of her own, says another project they are working on is organising their annual summer fair

and garage sale to be held at the Champion Rd grounds on February 28. The fair is the group’s biggest fundraiser and Kym says they would welcome donations of goods

for the garage sale.

Anyone who wants to donate goods for the garage sale or is interested in volunteering to help the Richmond RDA can contact Kym on 544 9860.

Garin College student Logan Ford is embarking on another big musical adventure joining the National Youth Brass Band at its annual summer camp and tour this week.

Logan was selected for the band after a series of nationwide auditions held earlier this year.

Although Logan is just 15, it will be the third year the cornet player has been in the band which is made up of the country’s most talented under-23 brass and percussion musicians.

Logan, who plays the cornet, joined the rest of the band members for a five-day summer camp at the Woodbourne Airbase near Blenheim that started on Sunday. The band then embarks on a tour giving concerts in Westport this Thursday, Nelson on Friday and Blenheim on Saturday.

“I’m already doing about an hour’s practise a day,” Logan says. “We were given the concert programme just before Logan Ford.

Christmas so I’ve been playing all the music since then.

“I’m really enjoying it. There is a piece that has been written just for us and it will be premiering in Westport so that’s exciting.”

National Youth Brass band manager Dr Garry Brown says the concert programme is titled Summon the Heroes and will include a bracket of pieces in remembrance of 100 years since the Gallipoli invasion. He says there are “some wonderfully talented musicians in this group” and four of them will be featured as soloists with the band.

Garry says many of the band members have gone on to professional careers in services bands, the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, professional conducting and the National Band of New Zealand.

The Nelson concert will be held at the Theatre Royal starting at 7pm on Friday. Tickets can be purchased at the door or online at ticketdirect. co.nz and cost $25 for an adult, $10 for a children with concessions $20.

The national series is the most important part of the New Zealand Drag Racing calendar because it gets everyone touring around the country, which would not be possible for most regular race meetings. The chance to have the first place marking of 1NZ on the side of their car is also a big deal for all serious drag racers, and is just as important as making records. Nelson’s most recent successes in the national series have come from a strong drag bike presence; Andy

Urwin-Wells, Craig Adams and Mark Pahl are all chasing points this season, after Andy won it last year, with Craig runner-up.

Race day starts around 10:30-11am with practice and qualifying runs, giving drivers a chance to get to know the track and how their car performs on it.

“This round of the NZDRA national series will be a big turnout because they are up to their fourth round, so drivers are analysing their current tally and realising they need to travel to gain more points,” says organiser and mechanic for Gourdie Automotive, Clinton Lochead.

It’s also the second round Nelson has held in a bid to encourage drivers from the North Island to travel and race in the south. The series runs throughout their season, which kicks off just after Labour weekend and comes to an end around Easter weekend.

qualifying passes, and from midday till around 4pm they will be whittled down until a winner is determined for each class of vehicle. The muscle cars race differently with drivers competing to get closest, if not dead on, their pre-set time.

“Drag racing is generally a popular spectator sport because you can get close to the action,” says Clinton.

“This is especially exciting if there are some good competition vehicles racing from out of town that will offer the noise and the smoke screens that car enthusiasts love to see.”

The races this weekend will incorporate a number of classes, including street bikes and fully-fledged drag bikes, to muscle cars, street cars, door cars and full drag cars. “Pirtek Racing has a very cool Camaro that’s just been remodelled and had a lot more horsepower put into it; there are some really good cars in that Superstock class, they’re always good to watch, especially for the public who can recognise what they are, like the Camaro or Holden Monaro, and when you watch them race you get an understanding of the speed they’re going,” says Clinton. “There is a good field of super-

Another added bonus for those looking to get up close and personal with some of these power houses is an open door policy in the pits. While speedway let’s you see the cars before and after racing, the drag races welcome people to walk around the cars as they’re being repaired or getting some pre-race maintenance, or even have a word to the drivers about what makes their car tick.

This weekend offers the best of both worlds and is sure to be an actionpacked day at the races. If you’re into drag racing but haven’t seen much of the speedway, take the opportunity to see them both in one, on January 31.

Tickets for the drags are $20 for one person or $40 for a family and mean you can enjoy the thrills and spills of the speedway in the evening for free.

Upgrades to coastguard boat will help save lives Jacob Chandler New satellite navigation equipment and two new motors will help Nelson coastguards reach emergencies at sea quicker and more accurately.

Funding was secured through Pub Charity and the Lion Foundation for the two new motors. This replaced ageing motors that had completed 1611 hours of use.

Coastguard president Graeme Richards says, due to their age, the old motors were becoming unreliable.

“The last time we had them on during practise training we went to start them and they wouldn’t start. Water had gotten into the starter motor.”

He says the hydraulics were also beginning to fail and the starboard motor was leaking.

“We’d be out ready to do a rescue and the engine alarms were going off. We would have to stop everything and try and figure out why. When there is somebody in the water and time is of the essence, then you can’t afford that sort of thing.”

A new navigational system was also installed by Haven Marine through the Coastguard’s own fundraising.

Graeme says the new electronic systems will allow the team to work more efficiently.

“It’s an intuitive system, we’ve always run two chart plotters but if one shut down then they both shut down,” The touchscreen controls will help the team to easily find information on weather patterns and tide, as well as find and contact nearby commercial ships for help.

Graeme says one of the big advantages is that it cannot only tell how far away the ships are, but also their speed.

He says the new systems were much easier to train on.

“The old ones were a nightmare. If you hadn’t had a callout for a couple of months then it was almost like learning how to use them again.”

Although the hull of the boat is 15 years old most of the fittings in the craft are all new and up to date. The Inflatable buoyancy collars were replaced last winter.

Graeme says coastguards are often called out for tows due to flat batteries or dirty fuel.

A crew of four people is the minimum requirement for a tow, with more coastguard members required for search and rescue missions.

Summer theatre at Washbourn Gardens The outdoor summer theatre season is on again this year with a performance at Washbourn Gardens, Richmond next week. The Body in Space Theatre Company will perform ‘Around the World in 80 Days’ an adventurous comedy.

Programmes are as short as 18 weeks; some are longer. Background material is delivered by highly-interactive, online video lessons. Participants receive equipment and supplies for some at-home practice. However, most practical training is in real, professional laboratories around New Zealand, including Fonterra and Nelson’s own Cawthron. Participants learn how laboratory employers actually want things done.

A programme with Fonterra (Clandeboye) placements starts 02 February 2015. A programme with Cawthron placements starts 16 March 2015. Typical participants have NCEA Level 2 and some chemistry knowledge; however, applicants are considered individually. Participants earn national science qualifications. Space in courses is very limited and can fill-up quickly. Scholarships are available. Information is available at www.

Local artist gets to work on new mural Ruby Bay artist Lisa Chandler is used to working on a large scale paintings but this month she will be super-sizing her work when she creates a 33 square metre mural on the wall of the new residential development Sussex Mews in Nelson.

Sussex Mews developer James Purves approached Lisa last year with the idea of creating a mural on the large wall of the complex on the corner of Nile and Sussex streets.

James had seen Lisa’s paintings in art galleries around Nelson and knew that her urban themes would fit in well with the modernist architecture of Sussex Mews.

“I was keen to support a local artist and

to add to the vibrant outdoor art scene in Nelson, particularly an artwork that reflected Nelson’s increasing connections with global cities,” James says.

Lisa says she has been keen to do a supersized painting since creating her 2.5 metre by 7.6 metre painting for the Cruel City exhibition at the Suter Public Art Gallery in 2012. The new work will be 3 metres high and 11.6 metres long and will be able to be seen from the footpath and road adjoining Bett’s Car Park as well as from the Cathedral Park.

The project is supported by Scott Construction, Nayland Scaffolding and Resene Paints Nelson.

Boat handling is a fine art and it is always a pleasure to watch those who are good at it.

Safe arrival and departure is an understated goal and one which many fail to achieve due to either poor assessment of the risk or under-rating the influence of the tide and currents.

During the last week we experienced four young people making poor decisions: 1. Their boat wasn’t fit for purpose. 2. No lifejackets were worn. 3. They seriously under-estimated the difficulty of the short distance they intended to travel and the effects of wind on tide.

There were also two young women swept under the bow of a yacht due to poor assessment of their drift and leeway, whilst in the current of an incoming tide. I reviewed this incident on camera and also saw their coach briefly trapped by the same vessel and tide. Luck – that is the only thing that saved any one of those lives this week. Lucky they were seen, lucky calls were made, lucky help wasn’t far away.

During February and March, Port Nelson will experience some of the largest tides I have seen in five years. Along with the tide come the stronger currents. Stay out of the water mid tide if you are not a strong swimmer, know where your vessel’s leeway is taking you, keep a sharp look out.

Top coaches help out at skills camp Young volleyball players have been learning from the best with a top lineup of coaches helping the Nelson Bays Volleyball Association run a three-day holiday skills camp at Saxton Stadium.

About 90 school-aged children from around Nelson attended last week’s camp which ended on Friday. New Zealand Youth Women’s team coach Wayne Stirling of Waikato headed a stellar coaching staff that also included Wellington’s Des Kerekere and national men’s team captain Pat Shone of Nelson.

“We have been running these summer camps for a number of years and we’re lucky enough, this year, to have some excellent coaches,” Nelson Bays Volley-

Henry’s

ball’s Pam Brodie says.

“We’ve also got some of the local coaches who are helping out and they’ll learn a lot too.”

Pam says the coaching clinic was divided into two groups, with year 5 to 8 children attending a morning session and the year 9 to 13 students spending all day at Saxton Pavilion. It was aimed at teaching the game’s basic skills which were put into practise in a series of games.

“We are having fun here too but the emphasis is on learning skills.

“Young kids need to learn volleyball balls skills from day one and I think that’s part of the reason that Nelson does so well at a national level.”

A former Waimea College student, Wayne says young players benefit from coaching clinics because they “get more touches of the ball.”

“Volleyball is a sport where you need a lot of contact with the ball and they get plenty of that here.

“The clinics are also an opportunity for young players to hear a different voice and perhaps some different ideas.”

Wayne, who left Waimea College in 1978 and now teaches at Te Aroha College, says he is impressed with the standard of young volleyball players in Tasman.

“It shows the benefits of what is happening in the schools and in the association,” he says.
