REALLY NEAT FLOORING

The owners of a North Island butterfly sanctuary say they can run the embattled Natureland profitably and with less council funding than is currently being asked for. The Butterfly Forest owners say the result will be a unique regional attraction featuring everything from hundreds of butterflies to crocodiles and a marine reef. Butterfly Forest, which is based in Thames, made a submission to the Nelson City Council to merge their company with Natureland. The move would see it take over from the current Natureland Wildlife Trust, which has told council that it will be insolvent by September unless its funding is increased. Butterfly Forest’s Daniel Adam and Nelson-based Geoff Proctor recently fronted council on behalf of the company, which opened the country’s first butterfly house in 1999. Now, 20 years later, it has been forced to find a new home due to the lease not being renewed at their current site. If successful, they say they can run Natureland at the current proposed funding level of $170,000 and aim to reduce their reliance on council funds as they introduce new revenue streams. Spokesperson and co-owner, Glenn Turner, says it seemed like the “ideal opportunity” for them to step in

after reading about the current struggle Natureland was having with funding and hearing that closure was being considered as a possibility “When the Natureland idea came up in Nelson it was purely by coincidence, but it seemed like an ideal opportunity to help Natureland survive. We approached the council and put together a submission, we’re trying to offer an alternative to closure.” Butterfly Forest currently houses between 400-600 butterflies as well as other tropical species including frogs, reptiles and fish. If successful, the entire collection will be moved to Natureland to be housed in an MPI-approved greenhouse along with more than 3500 botanical plants. Plant propagation will become another form of revenue for Natureland, and a five-year-plan could include the introduction of crocodiles and a marine reef. Glenn says the proposal is to increase the attractions at Natureland and to generate revenue to reduce the financial strain on ratepayers. The group plan to form a new trust to run Natureland and say they would “dearly like” to give members of the current trust board the opportunity to join them. “Put it this way, we really like the

work they’ve done, if there is a way that we could make it work for everyone then that’s what we’d like to do,” says Glenn. He stresses that it’s not about coming in and kicking people out or getting rid of animals that currently call Natureland home. “It’s about saying ‘hey, we love Natureland as much as anyone and this is what we can offer’.” And the chair of the current Natureland Wildlife Trust Alan Hinton says they are open to the idea of working together. “I look like an exciting opportunity if it comes together. We all felt that that it would tie in quite nicely with what we do.” However, the trust is still in “limbo” as it waits to hear if council will reinstate funding to $248,000 a year, rather than the $170,000 it was cut to as part of

the long-term plan. Alan says an ideal scenario would be getting the funding put back up with a proviso that the trust would look seriously at working with the Butterfly Forest over the next six to 12 months. Another Butterfly Forest owner, Daniel Adam, recently told councillors how the company operated for almost twenty years in Thames, a city with a population of 28,000 people and made a profit every year. He says there’s no reason why Natureland shouldn’t be a profitable venture as Nelson has a wider population of around 100,000 people. “There’s not a problem with the people that are in the area, there’s a problem with how it is run.” He says marketing and advertising is an area of concern and believes that there should be more advertising done out of town.

Nelson’s Geoff Proctor is part of an out of town proposal to take over the running of Natureland. Photo: Sara Hollyman. Daniel plans to relocate to Nelson if the proposal is successful and will be involved in the day-to-day running of Natureland.

Glenn says, between them, they have the knowledge and expertise to run Natureland but no jobs will be lost if they take over.

New ‘pop-up’ library for Stoke Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

There will be a new ‘pop-up library service’ in Stoke, while the assessment for internal damage is undertaken during the temporary closure of the Stoke Library. The library was closed on Friday, 24 May, to allow wall and ceiling linings to be removed to assess potential moisturerelated damage. A pop-up library service will be operating from Monday, 27 May, offering limited services from the Greenmeadows Centre’s

upstairs function room. Stoke Library is an important and busy community space and Community Services Committee chair Gaile Noonan says it is vital that as many services as possible are retained for the community in Stoke during the closure. “I realise some people will be inconvenienced by the move, but the public’s patience is appreciated as we assess the Stoke Library building. Hopefully, people will enjoy the views of the lovely setting at Greenmeadows, while using the pop-up library service.” The pop-up library service

Some of the most popular programmes such as Storytime and Small Talk will also be at Greenmeadows. While the pop-up library will not be open on Saturdays, a new Sunday service will be in its place. The length of the temporary closure is expected to be four weeks, but this will not be confirmed until the damage has been assessed.

‘This is why I’m striking’ I became a primary school teacher because I enjoy children of this age. I love their instinctive desire for knowledge, their enthusiasm and seeing their joy for learning. We feel so lucky with the wonderful children we have in our class and their families who are so supportive. We are more than just teachers. We are there to nurture and care for their social and emotional needs. I love teaching because it’s incredibly rewarding, and you feel you are making a difference to these young lives. Despite this passion for my job and the wonderful school I work in, I feel frustrated by under resourcing, a salary that does not recognise qualifications and hours worked, and the ever-increasing expectations on us. I feel frustrated that we are not funded enough to reduce class numbers at a time when many children in our classes need more support. I teach in a play-based learning area. The richness in materials for this area invariably comes from the commitment of a team who are constantly foraging in the weekends for natural or recycled materials. We also purchase out of our own purse. I often feel frustrated by budget constraints when there is so much more we would love to achieve for our students. I am striking because I feel that the kids deserve decent resources and a quality education in classes that are well staffed to cater for their individual needs. I work in an incredibly supportive school which cares very much for our wellbeing, but despite this, I see myself and my colleagues feeling burnt out by several weekly meetings, along with extra meetings

Nelson’s Jane Howley has been a primary school teacher for 23 years and is joining hundreds of others around the region today for the New Zealand education industry’s biggest ever strike. Reporter Kate Russell asks her why she has voted to close her classroom for the day.

All the teachers at our school arrive between 7:30 - 8am and we seldom leave before 5pm. Many of us have families who deserve our time, but after working a nine-hour day we will usually put in another three or four hours catching up on planning, marking assessments or making resources.

60-hour week, and that’s not including Sundays. My colleagues deserve to have time with their families without worrying about the huge quantity of paperwork they have to do. Sometimes I feel like I am just keeping my head above water despite the hours I do, and I don’t always feel I have time to be the good mother I want to be. A reasonable amount of release time for teachers could make such a difference. It

would also mean a lot to be recognised for our work. It can be frustrating when payday comes around and you have no money left in your bank account after buying the basics and paying the bills. It’s not an easy decision to strike as we know it affects our families. But I believe we have to get this right for the children we teach. They deserve the best, energetic teachers, decent resources and enough staff to cater for their individual needs. STRIKE BACKGROUND Primary and secondary teachers across New Zealand (including area schools) have voted for an historic first combined strike which is taking place today. It’s the largest ever industrial action taken by our teachers, covering around 50,000 members across two unions. Teachers have rejected the Government’s current package to settle their collective agreements and this strike will aim to persuade ministers to spend more on improving conditions for students and boosting teachers’ conditions and pay. The MOE’s current offer is within $698 million. A teacher with 23 years’ experience and a three-year degree earns $71,891 ($23.04 an hour before tax). NZEI and the PPTA want more action on more staffing and more classroom release time to reduce workloads. Primary teachers have already gone on strike twice in this bargaining round, in August and November after continued negotiations.

Introducing Pam Wood

Programme Lead Specialist, Viticulture & Winemaking Pam Wood brings a lifetime of horticulture and primary industries experience to the Viticulture and Winemaking programme at NMIT. Wood was raised in a farming family on a lifestyle property in rural Northland where growing organic fruit and vegetables was a way of life. “This absolutely inspired my love of horticulture and awoke my curiosity around plants,” she says. Since then, she has helped to teach horticulture courses in the community and has developed and managed horticulture programmes at tertiary institutions around the country, including Lincoln University and Manukau Institute of Technology. Wood says she’s excited to apply her knowledge and passion to the Viticulture and Winemaking programme at NMIT. “I’m looking forward to building on an already healthy programme that has the potential to be taken out to other areas of New Zealand and offshore using our online capabilities, along with the opportunity to create something very special in our own vineyard going forward at NMIT.” She says Viticulture and Winemaking industry is ripe with opportunities for students and the

NMIT programme is designed to prepare them for the workforce. “It is an exciting time to be in this industry. The old perception of the industry having only hard, manual, repetitive labouring jobs is finally disappearing with the realisation that viticulture and winemaking is full of technology, science, business, logistics and more - there are so many opportunities. This is an industry in which you never stop learning and there can be great financial rewards for those who apply themselves and are not afraid to work hard.” Wood says she hopes to provide students with “accessibility and flexibility”. “I want them to have great access to a team of highly knowledgeable and well-regarded lecturers who are connected with this industry. “I want each student to feel their learning journey is individually tailored to meet their needs and provides them with the flexibility to switch between full and part-time, on campus or online learning as their life journey dictates the need to change.” She says she’s thrilled to relocate to the Marlborough region and plans to enjoy the climate, amazing local foods and wines, and the lack of traffic compared to Auckland.

Nelson business with a sustainable plan As more companies try to adapt their businesses for a more sustainable future, Sara Hollyman meets one local company at the forefront of cleaner energy production. A Nelson-based business is powering ahead with its mission for a resourceful, low-emission energy future. Azwood Energy uses forestry bi-products and residues to repurpose into low-emission, renewable wood energy and the company’s spokesperson Jonathan McKeown says though many “smart organisations” are making the move towards more sustainable fuel sources there are still many more to follow. The Nelson City Council has 23 active consents for coal boilers to operate in Nelson, despite recently voting on announcing a state of climate emergency. Azwood Energy works alongside organisations to help them plot a path to transition to lower emissions economies and lower emissions energy systems, helping these organisation to future-proof cost of production or heating over the next 20 to 50 years. He said Azwood Energy hopes to work with council to improve knowledge around this renewable energy resource. Jonathan says that a lot of the

reason we still see fossil fuel burners is that they were installed before people considered the long-term impact of GHG emission and says he would expect to see more sustainable installations as those burners come to the end of their lifecycle, while some organisations can look into fuel switching with current energy systems. “The worst thing we could see is new installations going to fossil fuel and coal especially, but we are seeing large organisations making a commitment to move away from it, and we need to acknowledge and celebrate those commitments.” He says wood energy emits around 98 per cent less emissions than fossil fuels like coal. “It’s a really cool circular economy because we provide a service for forestry companies where we are taking these residues that would otherwise not have a home and removing them, which helps to clean up the environment and reduce pressures of erosion and removes fuel for forest fires as well.”

Azwood Energy production team member Dave Hastie. Photo: Evan Barnes. Jonathan says New Zealand is on a path to moving away from burning fossil fuels and it will happen eventually. “Especially in the South Island and Nelson where we have this huge local energy resource out in the hills that can be going to waste, whereas it could be used as an energy source.

Jonathan says the conversation about business sustainability has changed over the last few years. “Initially we were having discussions with organisations about being sustainable by using low-emission fuels, now organisations are very aware of the targets that are in place and where the potential price

of carbon is going, so the conversation has moved on from why these things need to occur to what’s the best way to implement them.” “As the market grows, we have the resource and methodology to see more conversions to lower emission wood fuel, ” says Jonathan.

Lots of great things have already happened here and wanting to make this place more gorgeous, safer, healthier and inclusive is not a bad aspiration.” The artist and author is no stranger to the mayoral campaign, having stood for the role four times already, in 1986, 1989, 2007 and 2010, coming a close second in 1989 and fourth in 2007. He’s also done six terms on council spanning from 1983 to 2016 and says he’s always left the door open to return. “I look around the world and I see some people much older than me making a difference. And if you can make a difference, I think you have an obligation to do that.” He says he’s pleased to hear

Residents’ safety taken seriously Staff Reporter

The owners of Stoke Retirement Village are taking the safety of its residents “very seriously,” in the wake of several break-ins. The Nelson Weekly last week reported residents feeling “on edge” after several car break-ins at the village. Oceania Healthcare’s Jill Birch, who is general manager of sales, marketing and villages, said the company was “passionate about looking after our residents”. She said the break-ins were part of a broader issue in Stoke and they were working closely with residents and police to make residents feel safe. “This had included meeting with residents to pass on some advice from the police and to assure that that we were working with the police and had provide them with good quality CCTV footage of the incidents.” A resident spoken to by the Nelson Weekly said the offenders targeted older model vehicles, smashing the rear windows in all four cars to gain access but, so far, no one has been apprehended. The woman received a letter from police which reads: “After looking at all the available evidence we have not been able to find out who is responsible. Unless more information or evidence is found, we can’t proceed any further with this case.”

Tips to save energy and money this winter Simple changes to the way you use electricity can save you a lot of money. It’s surprising how even small changes can result in worthwhile savings. Founders Book Fair volunteers Maggi John and Catherine Barris with some of the more unusual items up for grabs this year. Photo: Kate Russell.

Book fair brings the rare gems Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Ever fancied owning a collection of 18,000 printed pens? Or perhaps a collection of Kodak magazines from the 1930s? Well, you could get lucky and find some gems at this year’s annual Founders Book Fair, which kicks off this Queen’s Birthday weekend. Organiser Karen Clark says, although the fair is mainly known for the humble novel or children’s book, it’s also a great place to find some more “quirky” items. “Every year we get donated things that we’ve never seen before. This year we were given 16 boxes of printed pens which someone can make an offer on. We also have a collection

of Frank Sinatra books and records which could really make someone’s day.” A full London Charles Dickens set and an Encyclopedia Britannia - both from the turn of the century - will also be on offer and collectors could also have their eye on a set of 50 iconic Weet-Bix card albums spanning from the 1950s to the 1980s. Yachting World annuals from the 1950s, old Australian Photo Reviews and a rare “pristine” copy of ‘The Life and Art of William Strutt’ will also be up for grabs throughout the nineday event. “There will be some really beautiful things that come out,” says Karen. This year the fair will also see twice as many jigsaw puzzles than normal and children’s books will be a bit easier to find

with many being categorised into authors and topics. There is also a new room layout in the Energy Centre and a map will be available showing the range and location of book categories. The fair has come a long way since it first began back in 1988. Donated books steadily stream in from the community yearround, and a dedicated group of volunteers come in every week to sort and price items. The book fair is a major fundraiser for Founders Heritage Park with all profits going towards developments at the park. The Founders Book Fair runs from 1 - 9 June, 10am - 4.30pm at Founders Heritage Park. Daily entry to the fair is $2 per adult or $5 for a nine-day pass. Children under 12 years are free.

The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) website has dozens of tips to reduce your electricity usage and make savings in your home. These include: z

A heated towel rail left on 24/7 can cost you $170 per year. You can buy timers that turn your towel rail on and off automatically at certain times of the day.

Replace incandescent light bulbs with energy efficient LEDs and save $100 or more a year off your electricity bill.

Dripping hot taps can cost you hundreds of dollars a year (depending on how bad the leak is). Replace the washer or fitting – a new washer only costs a few dollars.

Take shorter showers. In a household of three, each minute you add to your shower time costs an extra $70 a year.

If you have an old, inefficient model of fridge that you use as a second fridge to chill a few drinks, it might surprise you to know it could cost $200 a year to run. Consider turning it off or getting rid of it.

Use cold washes, unless you have an especially dirty load. Modern washing machines and detergents clean well using cold water. A hot water wash can use 10 times more electricity than a cold wash.

Heating our homes in the winter can be costly, here are a few ideas to make sure you aren’t losing heat or spending money on less efficient options. z

Draw curtains at dusk to keep the day’s heat in.

Stop draughts. Make sure your windows and doors fit their frames. Use draught-stopping tape around windows and doors, and draught-excluders or door snakes along the bottom of doors.

Use a heater directly in the room you want to heat and keep the door shut (unless you have central heating).

All these tips (and more) on how to save energy at home can be found on EECA’s Energywise website at www.energywise.govt.nz

Equinox takes out Rockquest Staff Reporter Writing real songs that resonate with their audience has seen Nelson College for Girls band Equinox take out first place at this year’s regional Smokefreerockquest final. The alternative, all-girl band shone at the finals, held at Theatre Royal last Friday. Lead vocalist and acoustic guitarist, 17-year-old Estella Romagnoli, has already made a name for herself as last year’s

Smokefreerockquest national solo-duo winner. Now she has backed that up with a finals win in the band category. As a musician, Estella says she relies on authentic songwriting and emotional connection with the audience. “It is a personal song for me and a vessel for my emotions.

Students demand climate action again v

Nelson is again at the forefront of the fight against climate change and the next generation is vowing not to give up on the future of our planet. After council declared a climate emergency, students on Friday urged the Government to follow suit. Hundreds of students with a plethora of placards marched through Nelson demanding action. Nelson College for Girls head student Josephine Ripley and Emma Edwards led the march from the top of Trafalgar St to the skate park where messages were scrawled on the pavement. The pair say that the youth voice is getting louder. “This is our chance to connect and have conversations about climate change, there is a lot of strength in numbers and it’s so great to see the young people turn up and speak out.” Josephine says their demands are for the Government to declare a climate emergency, pass the zero-climate bill and cease fossil fuel operations. “We want governments to stop extracting fossil fuels immediately, to be carbon neutral by 2040 and to ensure the zero-carbon emissions

bill can be a piece of legislation that will safeguard our future.” She says they are calling on governments to act and show that they are prepared to take personal responsibility. Students also took to the streets on March 15; however their protest was overshadowed by the horrific events in Christchurch. Their voices did not go unheard though as Nelson became just the second city in the country to declare a climate emergency. “We were watching the live stream and it such an exciting moment for us, now we are calling on the government to do the same and take action urgently,” Emma says. She says, while it was a watershed moment for the region, the country must follow suit and the youth will continue to demand it. “We want to spread awareness that we are here, and we are active.” Thirteen-year-old’s Lily Thornalley, Georgie Levien and Jessica Fincham say they do not believe it is fair to create a future that will be worse for them. “We want the planet to be happy and healthy.”

GENERATIONS OF NELSON Brought to you by Marsden House

AllAnAh RAnkin, Young guARd

During World War Two the Home Guard was stationed at the Spring Grove Drill Hall. Naturally, the children at the school next door were inspired to form their own version.

Senior girl Allanah Rankin from Barton’s Lane took control, and under her leadership – stripes on shoulders and wooden guns in hand – the junior Home Guard could ‘come to attention’, ‘march’, ‘slope’ and ‘present arms’ with the best of them.

NEWS Brass band wins: Nelson City Brass has won the test piece, hymn, stage march and street march in the annual Nelson Marlborough West Coast Brass Band Association contest. The competition over the weekend saw bands from across the South Island converge on Nelson for an event full of pomp and ceremony. The wins see Nelson City Brass well prepared for the nationals in Hamilton in July. Waimea Rd speed limit to change this week: Nelson drivers will need to slow down on Waimea Rd, with a 50km speed limit for a stretch of the busy arterial route taking effect this Friday, 31 May. Council approved lowering the speed limit on the section from 240m south of Market Rd through to 200m north of the Beatson Rd roundabout, from 70km/h to 50km/h. This follows a public consultation process, during which council received 89 submissions. Most submitters (66 per cent) supported the reduction, citing safety as the main reason. Non-emergency line proves popular: Commissioner of Police Mike Bush has launched a new 105 (“ten five”) number for reporting non-emergency situations and says people are embracing the new line. While it’s too early to accurately forecast demand, the service is already tracking well with more than 11,577 calls received. The line gives people the opportunity to report a variety of situations that don’t require an urgent or immediate response, such as an abandoned car with a broken window, their washing stolen off the line, or their laptop being pinched.

Pepin Island opens for good causes Sara Hollyman Reporter

sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz

The gates to Pepin Island will once again open to the public on Sunday, possibly for the last time. The biennial fundraiser for the Hira Rural Fire Station and Hira School gives members of the public a chance to explore the private

island by foot or bike. Hira volunteer fire fighter Derek Bonnington says they are lucky to be able to offer the opportunity to experience an “amazing part of Nelson”. The open day will raise much needed funds for rural fire equipment but will also double as support for the Nelson Marlborough Rescue chopper and St John Ambulance. “It’s also an opportunity to

make people aware that we are a volunteer brigade and it’s a chance to encourage people to join us,” says Derek. Around 1500 people normally venture to the island to take in unparalleled views of both Delaware and Cable Bay. The family-friendly walk takes around three hours with options along the way to stop for a picnic lunch or a cup of tea. Entry is $10 at the gate.

“People are always rapt, the feedback is always really positive,” says Derek. “It’s a really special place.” Pepin Island is currently listed for sale with a $16 million price tag and it is not known what the new owners might want to do with it. It boasts 1280 acres of land, a 7-bedroom farmhouse and three separate cottages, as well as eco-chalets around the island.

The residents have also received a letter saying that there is going to be a walkway put in that will run from Countdown Stoke along the edge of the stream to Neale Ave. And in some cases, it's less than four metres away from the back doors of the flats. This will add to even more insecurity for these elderly people. There is a security guard that does a walk around of the site. Tom Booth

Nelson Matters Financial management is at the core of good government. Labour blew its economic credibility last week in announcing it is going to break its own Budget Responsibility Rules by raising more debt. The public is naturally cautious of Labour over finance because of a long history in Government of big spending and reckless borrowing. Labour sought to reassure the public in Opposition by promising strict Budget Responsibility Rules and Rule 2 stated “Labour will reduce debt to 20% of GDP within five years.” Jacinda Ardern and Grant Robertson called these “cast iron guarantees”. Grant Robertson abandoned this rule last week

saying the debt cap is now 25%. This increase in the debt cap from 20% to 25% of GDP allows Labour to borrow another $15 billion. Nelson and Tasman’s share of this extra debt is $300 million. This is greater than the total debt of both our councils. It equates to $3000 more debt for every man, woman and child in New Zealand. The interest and debt of this extra $15 billion debt has to be paid for in future taxes. New Zealand’s debt is low by international standards. It rose to 25% in 2012 because of the Global Financial Crisis and the $20 billion cost of the Christchurch earthquakes. National reduced it to 21% by 2017. National’s policy was to get it down to

15% by 2022. We need low debt as a small remote country so we can handle future shocks. Labour was quite entitled to argue at the last election for a 20% debt limit rather than National’s more cautious 15%. The problem is breaking its commitment and undermining the public trust. Labour’s core problem is that it did not properly cost its policies. Remember the controversy when National’s Finance Minister Steven Joyce stated that Labour had an $11.7 billion hole. Independent economist Cameron Bagrie and commentator Duncan Garner both said this week’s increase in the debt limit proved that Steven Joyce was right.

This financial mess is also the root cause of the strikes in our schools and hospitals. Labour told junior doctors, nurses, teachers and other workers from Opposition that they were being underpaid by 20%. These groups then lodged pay claims for big increases. Labour is now saying in Government they can only afford a fraction of this. The teaching and health professions understandably feel cheated and are striking. Children are losing out on their education with this week’s teacher’s strike, the largest ever in history. The hospital strikes have seen thousands of operations cancelled.

pain from operations at Nelson Hospital being cancelled and delayed. Labour needs to stop wasting money. Over $500 million is being spent on working groups. $3 billion is being spent on NZ First’s slush fund. $2 billion has been spent on just 82 Kiwibuild homes. $50 million is going on tax breaks for gamblers and the racing industry. New Zealand does not need more debt. Government needs to spend more carefully and wisely.

Painting company gives back to community, reduces carbon footprint Longstanding local business, Trafalgar Painting Ltd, takes great pleasure investing in Nelson! “Money spent in Nelson stays in Nelson rather than go to some business in Auckland,” says Managing Director Joe Szentpeteri. “We invest in the community through sponsorship like contributing towards the cost of schooling for kids with learning disabilities; we also sponsor ‘Hip Hoperation,’ a group of Nelson retirees to help get them out there doing what they love. There are also local schoolchildren who can’t afford schoolbooks who we like to help through our sponsorship. As a business we feel giving something back is really important.” Co-owners Joe, Mark & Nathan employ a skilled and diverse team of fulltime staff of around 12. The company also employs unskilled labourers, providing them opportunity through training and life skills. In light of Nelson City Council’s recent ‘Climate Change Emergency’ announcement, Joe says environmental issues are no longer a topic to talk about; it’s time to re-evaluate. “Painting, like many industries, uses a lot of chemicals. The industry has made good inroads towards reducing its carbon footprint in the last decade. Following the industrie's momentum, we implemented an environmental policy, creating more discussions and challenging how we manage our footprint and think about our environment; subsequently we have introduced small changes.” Trafalgar Painting has recently invested in an electric pushbike. “We offer our staff a deal where we pay 50 percent of the purchase of an electric bike and take a small amount out of their wage each week to cover it. This allows affordable access to some really cool technology and the benefits associated with exercise.” With over 30 years’ experience in the painting industry and 19 years in asbestos abatement work, Trafalgar Painting Ltd offers a wide range of services to the marine, industrial and commercial sectors. “We combine our skills and knowledge to ensure every client gets the best possible service. See us for all your marine, industrial and commercial requirements, including: Asbestos Testing and Removal, Food Grade Factory Maintenance, Concrete Grinding, Line Marking, Confined Space Testing and Entry, Floor Coating and Factory Maintenance Painting.

‘Carrot’s’ capoeira journey comes home Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

The road to a capoeira black belt is a long one. Arion Polkinghorne has spent the past 18 years learning the Brazilian martial art and the next step on his journey has seen him open a school in Nelson. Born in Ruby Bay, the 39-year-old has travelled the world training under some of the greatest masters alive. Arion met Mestre Paulino Sabia, one of the founding fathers of ‘Grupo Capoeira Brasil,’ in San Diego while studying architecture. “Two years later, I travelled to Brazil to fully immerse myself in the culture, language and this beautiful martial art,” he says. After grafting for thousands of hours Arion has now obtained his green belt giving him “instructor” status. This means Arion can now host competitions and issue belts. With the blessing of his master, Arion moved back to Nelson in December to open the school. which now boasts ten regular students ranging from 16 to 64-years-old. “We have been running for about three months now. We have a huge

age range which can be challenging but that’s the joy of it.” One German tourist was so blown away by the class that he cut the rest of his holiday short. “He has decided to stay and train capoeira. He now has a job, it has changed his life.” The martial art has a rich history dating back to the days of slavery. Fighters would adopt nicknames in order to protect their identities, a tradition which continues to this day. Arion was affectionately given the moniker of ‘Cenoura’ which is Portuguese for Carrot, due to his red hair. He says it is a perfect mashup of martial arts and music. “It can be a performance art or a fight.” Arion is now three belt colours shy of black which he says is still years away “I will have at least another fourfive years of daily training before becoming a professor, and then I will still have years to go, you do not become a master in capoeira until you are much older and wiser.” Cenoura’s capoeira classes run Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons out of Trafalgar Hall.

K2M winner Clinton Manderson celebrates his win with event organiser John McIntyre. Photo: Evan Barnes/Shuttersport.

Mapua’s Manderson dominates K2M Jacob Page Mapua marathon runner Clinton Manderson made the most of some local knowledge to be the fastest person across the finish line at the inaugural K2M multisport event, on Saturday. The 25-year-old used the event between Kaiteriteri and Mapua, which saw more than 700 people take part across various distances

on foot or bike, as a lead up to the Auckland Marathon in October. His time of 3:04:01 was more than 20 minutes faster than his nearest rival over The Great Taste Trail, Brett Ferguson of Witherlea. “Being based in Mapua, I’d often run to Kaiteri and get my parents to pick me up at the end, or I’d have Mum or my partner alongside me. “Once I saw this race, I was pretty much hooked because I knew the

course like the back of my hand,” he said. “I’m just trying to relax some sore legs now.” Manderson said he got into running two years ago as a cheaper alternative to motocross. “There’s nothing like that feeling of being absolutely spent at the end of a long run. “I’m running six days a week and I’m targeting a sub-three-hour marathon time.

In the race I thought I ran the first 25km spot-on but the last 10 or so were pretty tough with a lack of water on a warm day.” Christchurch’s Nory Lansing was the first woman over the line in a time of 3:31:15. Organiser John McIntyre said he was thrilled with the numbers taking part. “We had eight different categories and it all played out on the day better than I could have

imagined,” he said. “The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive of the course on The Great Taste Trail and there was a great vibe at the finish line at Mapua. He said half of the entrants were from outside the Nelson region and he was happy with the mix. He said the event would return for its second-year next year with a May date likely.

Marist’s shock loss sees Waimea finish top

Jonty Dine

After looking assured to top the table after the regular round Marist was stunned at the weekend, suffering its first loss of the season. Having won eight of its previous nine encounters and being held to a draw, the Green Machine went down 33-17 to Renwick to hand Waimea Old Boys the minor premiership for 2019. Marist looked largely untouchable for much of the season until a war with Waimea saw them lose several key players to injury in round seven. Meanwhile, Waimea needed a last gasp intercept try from its skipper to get past East Coast in a thrilling encounter at Jubilee. With the scores locked at 33-all and time almost up, a defiant East Coast looked set to steal a dramatic victory after a stunning second half comeback. Down 26-7 at half-time, East Coast ran in four second half tries to eventually square the scores. However, Michael Stringer ensured Waimea head into next weekend’s semifinals still unbeaten after his 50m effort in the 79th minute. “I just knew I had to get there,” he says.

Boys set on volleyball glory SportS Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Whether its hosting movie nights, selling products or labouring in someone’s backyard, Harry Coltman and Zach Langbridge are willing to do whatever it takes to get to America. The 17-year-olds have been named in the New Zealand junior development side to play in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in July. However, before boarding the plane the pair must raise the $6000 price tag for the trip. “It’s some decent dosh to travel across the world,” Zach says. The Nelson Pines players say the frantic fundraising efforts will all pay off as they realise a childhood dream. “It’s been a goal since I was a kid,” says Zach. “The States is supposedly the hub of volleyball and then there is the added bonus of having scouts there. It’s going to be amazing.” New Zealand is one of only three countries, along with Australia and Puerto Rico, invited to the prestigious High-Performance

Championships, which acts as the U.S age group nationals. The boys were invited to attend a 43-man camp in Wellington after being scouted at nationals playing for Nelson College. From there, players were selected into two squads of 14. “It’s been a hectic time trying to get everything sorted before July,” says Harry. The boys have been raising money through a range of initiatives including a Sprig and Fern quiz and movie nights, supermarket

stock takes and setting up a GiveaLittle page. “We have just been finding any way possible, if that means labouring in someone’s yard that’s what I’ll do,” says Zach. Harry is also working part time at Mitre 10. The trip may also give the boys the chance of meeting one of the biggest sporting superstars on the planet. The boys will spend two days in Los Angeles, which will include a visit to Kobe Bryant’s Mamba Sports Academy “They are trying to get Kobe

to come, but I’m not holding my breath,” Zach says. Despite the excitement, the boys have no illusions about the level of competition they will face at the tournament. “Looking at previous U.S. teams they are all pretty much 6’8” so it will be a step up.” Harry says the New Zealand side may not be the tallest, but they play with plenty of heart. “We don’t have the size they do but all our players really want to be in the team, so all give 100 per cent on every play.”

Harriers: On Saturday, a field of 55 runners and walkers took on the undulating cross-country course that Rabbit Island offered, during the first of the three Wallace Shield Races. Halfway through the last lap, promising young runner Matt Bowen challenged leader Chris Sharland to take first place in a slick time of 17.42mins, 20seconds ahead. Sarah Bonoma was the clear winner of the woman’s race in 21.27mins, with Colette Read, 23.02mins, in second. Elaine Llewellin, 25.33mins, was the fastest women walker. Football: Another big win has seen FC Nelson solidify its spot atop the Nelson division one football table. Cristian Benitez continues his hot run of goal scoring form with a brace as FC routed Wakefield 6-0 at Guppy Park. Elsewhere, Richmond defeated Nelson College in a high-scoring affair while Tahuna and Suburbs played out a draw. Suburbs’ MPL clash with Selwyn on Saturday was cancelled due to fog at the Christchurch Airport.

Netball: Jacks OPD flexed its muscles with an emphatic fifty-goal victory against Waimea College on Thursday evening. They now sit clear atop the Nelson Premier netball table after dispatching the young Waimea side 7323. Both college sides would put up brave fights against their more experienced opponents but were eventually out-classed as Stoke held off a spirited Motueka High 48-32. In the evening’s later games, Prices Ahurei beat Stoke SPORTWISE 42-25 while RichmondF45 edged Nelson College for Girls 58-43.

If you don’t want to head out that far or have a smaller boat there are still plenty of options for some very entertaining fishing. Gurnard, blue cod and tarakihi don’t care about the cold water and make fantastic eating. Try around Pepin Island and in Delaware Bay or tow your boat to Okiwi Bay and head out from there. For tarakihi, find some foul ground and anchor over an adjacent piece of flat bottom. Tie a burley bomb to your anchor rope a few metres above the ground and anchor up. Tarakihi like flasher rigs but make sure you use little hooks, these fish have very small mouths! When they are on the bite they will eat just about anything, small strips of squid work very well.

Blue cod are a welcome bycatch (if big enough) but if you catch too many (remember, 33cm minimum size, only two per person), try fishing higher up in the water column or move away a bit from the foul ground. For gurnard, try drifting over a sandy or muddy bottom in 5 to 20 metres and use either small softbaits or flasher rigs baited with “fishy” bait. (Squid seems

College rugby rivalry to reignite One of the region’s most longstanding rivalries will reignite tomorrow afternoon when Marlborough Boys College come to town. Nelson College will host its neighbours from over the hill in what promises to be a blockbuster battle in the UC Championship. While the likes of New Zealand school’s rep Anton Segnar and Ben Faingaanuku stand out as key members of the local side, the unassuming figure of halfback Mason Lund’s influence cannot be underestimated. The 17-year-old is currently in his second year with the side and has taken a senior role in the group. His crisp pass off both hands, excellent communication and powerful box kicks have proven pivotal in Nelson’s successful season so far. A boarder at college, Mason lives in Takaka and spends most of his time away from family during the school term. “I only go home for holidays really so I’m looking forward to this long weekend.” He says all of his early memories of growing up in the small Golden Bay town involved a rugby ball. “I was just always kicking the ball around with my mates, barefoot on a frosty morning. I loved it.”

Mason says, after getting an early wake-up call from St Andrew’s, the side is back on track with tomorrow’s game likely to provide a true measure of its success. “The whole school is buzzing for it. It’s a huge opportunity for us to test ourselves.” With three wins from four to kick off its UC Championship campaign, Mason says this side has the ability to make history. “This team can do something really special, so I just want to do my role and help us fulfil that potential.” Nelson College shot to third of the UC Championship table with an epic 43-38 win over Rangiora on Saturday. Nelson survived a stunning second half comeback and held on with 14 men to pick up its third win of the competition in a high scoring encounter. After trailing 33-7 at half-time, Rangiora came roaring out of the gates in the second to score five tries and almost snatch a late victory. Nelson would seal the win, however, as winger Fainagaanuku went over to score the match winner. Nelson vs MBC will kick off at 12pm tomorrow on the main field at Nelson College. Scorers: Nelson 43 (Segnar, Carmine, Hughes, Lund, Dixon, Brown, Fainganuuku, tries, Barton 4 cons) Rangiora 38 (Neilson 2, Thompson, Pepe, Fungavaka, penalty try, Leatherby 4 cons)
