The Ministry of Education is looking at controlling growth at Nayland College as the school creeps within 25 students of its maximum capacity.

Nayland College principal Daniel Wilson would not disclose his roll numbers to Nelson Weekly, however, in the latest school newsletter, he confirms their total roll for 2020 is 1375.

This is approximately 200 more students than last year and includes 345 new year nine students, 70 students from other year levels and 50 new international students.

The school can currently accommodate 1400 students, meaning the Ministry of Education is now looking at preliminary options to ensure the school does not exceed capacity.

“If any restrictions are to be placed on our enrolment zone the Ministry of Education will have to run a consultation process,” Daniel wrote in the newsletter.

He told the Weekly that he was “delighted that the vast majority of students in our local community choose to continue their education at their local high school”.

Nayland’s growth is not isolated, however.

Nelson College acting headmaster Tim Tucker says although it’s hard to confirm an exact number in the first few weeks back, the school roll is sitting just under 1100 - which is slightly up on last year.

Garin College principal John Maguire is also reporting a roll increase with 524 students, compared to 512 students in 2019.

Nelson College for Girl principal Cathy Ewing did not respond to questions about the roll size but said that the school was installing solar cells and refurbishing all its toilet blocks.

Property development and staff changes are also afoot at other secondary schools.

Nayland College principal Daniel Wilson says he is happy many local students continue their education in the area. Photo: File.

Nelson College has welcomed eight new teachers and a new headmaster is expected to be announced in the next month.

The whole front of the school has been repainted and a new sports turf is being installed in 2020.

Nayland College are currently

upgrading its fire and security systems, and there are several significant modernisation projects planned for the next three years.

Nelson’s two intermediate schools are also reporting roll growth.

Broadgreen Intermediate principal Pete Mitchener says theirs continues to grow and is currently at 574 students. Five classrooms are being developed along with outdoor teaching spaces.

Nelson Intermediate principal Diane Webb says their roll is currently sitting at just under 500 students - up on last year’s 440 students.

She says this year will see the construction of a new playground and outdoor area space, and the upgrade and relocation of their Māori medium classroom.

Pigeon Valley fire: One year on Locally Owned and Operated

3

The bush fire that raged across Pigeon Valley and the Tasman region in February 2019 was one of the largest blazes in New Zealand’s modern history. At its height, the fire covered 2300 hectares and nearly 2500 residents evacuate their homes. Matt McCrorie takes a look, one year on.

It was a hot, dry, cloudless day on February 5, 2019. There hadn’t been rain in weeks in the Nelson region, and temperatures were soaring above record levels. On that Tuesday it was 28 degrees.

A tractor was discing a tinderdry, stony paddock of tall grass, with warm conditions, wind and extreme fire danger. It was the perfect storm, and one spark was all it took to ignite the paddock.

Strong winds meant that the fire spread rapidly, and within weeks it had ripped through 2300 hectares, destroyed a home, fences, pastures and cause 2500 to evacuate their homes.

It was the largest wildfire in New Zealand in nearly 70 years.

At 2.16pm Wakefield volunteer fire brigade were alerted to the blaze, with fire trucks arriving within 10 minutes.

Despite only taking half an hour for a chopper to arrive, the fire was out of control. Within two hours it had travelled nearly 7km.

By 6.30pm that night, nearby residents were already being

Helicopters dumping monsoon buckets on the Pigeon Valley Fire in February 2019. Photo: Evan Barnes. evacuated.

In the coming days, a total of 61 chopper units from around the country turned up to join the firefighting effort.

A Civil Defence State of Emergency was declared on February 6, the day after the Pigeon Valley fire started.

The fire burned for three weeks, ripping through thousands of hectares of land in Pigeon Valley and forced thousands of residents to evacuate.

Tasman Mayor Tim King says the fire was a hugely challenging time for the region, especially for those who were evacuated from their homes.

“A fire on this scale, on top of the drought conditions at the time could have felt overwhelming but my lasting memory was the huge response from our community. It was an incredible effort all round and it made me feel proud of the place that I live and the people I share it with.”

The fire spread over 2316 hectares, spanning 36.4km, an even greater area than 2017’s Port Hills fires in Christchurch.

After 22 days the Civil Defence State of Emergency was lifted on February 27, and the region moved into a transition phase from response to recovery.

Taking the fight to wet-wipes Staff Reporter A Nelson supermarket appears to have become the first in the country to warn customers of the environmental hazards of wetwipes.

FreshChoice Nelson has erected in-store signage featuring an image of a blocked pipe and the message ‘Wipes clog pipes – Save the planet – Please don’t flush ‘em.’

Worldwide wet-wipes have become an environmental headache causing fatbergs - masses of fat and solid waste - that block sewer systems. The blockages are expensive to fix and can lead to overflows onto land and into waterways.

FreshChoice Nelson coowner Mark A’Court says the supermarket wanted to increase people’s awareness of the impact wipes can have when flushed.

NEWS Fire risk closes reserves: The Nelson City Council has closed more reserves due to increasing fire risk after a continued spell of hot and dry weather.

The council will be closing access to the following reserves, from Monday, 10 February, until further notice: Eureka Park, Titoki Reserve, Atmore Reserve, Venner Reserve, Bolwell Reserve, Pipers Reserve, Tantragee Reserve, including the Brook Mountain Bike Area/Codgers Trails, Days Track.

Family beach day is back: Tahunanui Beach will be full on fun this Sunday from 11am – 2pm for the annual More FM Can Plan family beach day. There will be a ‘big dig’ and ‘little dig’ as well as a tug of war, wheelie bin races, a sandcastle building competition, the

“The fact that people are still flushing wet-wipes tells us that the message still isn’t getting through and we wanted to do our bit to try to reduce the grief they’re causing in Nelson,” he says.

Mark and his partner Veronica Hippolite-A’Court decided to introduce the signage after being approached by Nelson City Councillor Matt Lawrey.

In 2018, Matt led a call by Nelson City Council to get wet-wipe

Locally Owned and Operated

manufacturers to clearly label their products with ‘Don’t flush’ warnings. The council also wrote to supermarket chains asking them to introduce in-store signage to raise public awareness of the problem.

“Wet-wipes are a tragic example of a product where businesses get to keep their profits and ratepayers, taxpayers and the environment have to pay for the impact of those profits,”

Matt says.

“It’s true that a handful of manufacturers do include visible warnings on their packaging but many have none at all or, if they do, the warning is hidden under the packet where no one will see it,” Matt says.

Matt and Mark are happy to let others use the design of the signage they have come up with. Anyone interested should email: matt.lawrey@ncc.govt.nz

Nelson’s Oscar connection: While Taika Waititi was accepting his Oscar for best adapted screenplay in Los Angeles, Nelson’s Christine Leunens was smiling. It was her book, Caging Skies that inspired Taika’s film, ‘Jojo Rabbit’. “I’d just like to say how much it means to me that this story touched and inspired so many people, starting with Taika’s mother, then Taika himself and everyone who worked so hard on the film. It‘s been such a long journey from the start on the novel to now, that the story moved out into the wider world and won an Oscar moves me immensely.”

Whakatu Marae and Founders Park held their International and Traditional Kai Festival to celebrate Waitangi last week. The festival allowed visitors to sample flavours from around the world and enjoy the diverse cultures which make up the Nelson community.

Local families and groups ran stalls selling kai and traditional crafts while visitors enjoyed entertainment from a range of cultural performers. Here Koster Svilainis and Jessie Dickson-Patterson enjoy an ice cream watermelon each. Photo: Sarah Board.

Aspiring GirlGuides are sitting on waiting lists in Nelson, as the organisation struggles to recruit new leaders.

There are already 100 girls in local units and more waiting to join, according to GirlGuide New Zealand spokesperson, Mariana Jacinto.

“At this stage, these very full units are supported by parent help but realistically we need reliable, consistent support from official volunteer leaders.”

Mariana says they receive ongoing enquiries for girls wanting to join GirlGuides

in Nelson, but they peak particularly at the beginning of each year.

“We have girls that are missing out, so we need all the volunteers we can get.”

Stoke mum Kelly Nicholls has been a leader in Nelson since 2013 and is urging others to give it a go.

“We really need more leaders.

Guides in Nelson has been shrinking, but we’re steadily building and the more leaders we have, the more we can share the load.”

She says you don’t need to be a teacher or an expert at anything.

“It’s great to watch these girls blossom, challenge themselves and achieve their goals, especially the shy ones.”

Mariana says other benefits of being a leader include growing the skills employers want to see on CVs, making friends and connecting with your local community.

Women and men from 18-years-old can sign up to lead groups, starting at Pippins at five-years-old right up to Rangers at 17-years-old.

All training is provided and usually it requires two to four hours per week during school terms.

“Any new volunteers that come on board will be directly responsible for getting these girls off the sideline and into the fun,” says Mariana.

“We don’t want to ask them to wait.”

The region with the biggest percentage increase in number of properties sold for one million dollars or more was Gisborne, with a 133.3 per cent increase from 2018 -14 properties up from 6 - an additional 8 properties.

Sheelagh McCambridge worked on a Habitat for Humanity project in Cambodia which changed her life. Photo: Supplied.

Chance for ‘tourism with soul’ Charles Anderson

Sheelagh McCambridge never thought she might be the sort of person to jump at an opportunity to travel to a third world country to help build homes.

But when she read a story in the Nelson Weekly two years ago, all that changed. The article was about Habitat for Humanity and the work they did in building homes for less fortunate people.

“I’m a late bloomer to travel,” says

Sheelagh. “But when I saw the newspaper I thought, ‘that’s it’.”

She travelled to Cambodia for a week with a group of other likeminded people – all bent on helping locals into homes.

“I got far more out of it than I could give,” Sheelagh says. “It taught me about myself and how I view the world.”

When she returned to Nelson, she started tutoring former refugees, and jumped at another chance to go to Fiji with Habitat for Humanity.

“I’m a 50-year-old woman on my own. I knew travelling would be safe and I have an ethical sense of travel, so it ticked all those boxes.”

Now she is organising a tour with the organisation – this time to Myanmar in October.

“Someone told me that it’s like tourism with soul,” Sheelagh says.

“It’s a way I can do something for people in their country while also seeing and learning more about their culture.”

She is looking for people to join her

to travel to Bago region and help build homes.

“The build work is done at your own pace and ability.

We have everyone from 15 to 83-year-olds.”

She says locals are so appreciative of the help.

“Once they learn what you are doing, they welcome you with open arms.”

Anyone who is interested can contact Sheelagh on smmcc@xtra.co.nz.

If you are struggling for a way to say ‘I love you’ on Valentine’s Day, then never fear – Broadgreen House has done the hard work for you.

La Vie en Rose might be the perfect way to celebrate the day on Friday.

Organiser Jo McCrostie says normally the event is Rose Day which occurs in November but there were too many events on then.

So, they changed it to a more fitting time.

“And now it fits really well with Valentine’s Day.” She says it will be an evening of desserts, coffee, flowers, craft market, twilight tours through Broadgreen House, floral art displays and live music.

“It’s really about celebrating the rose gardens and romance. It will be really low key and relaxed. Just come and enjoy the space.”

La Vie en Rose runs from 5pm to 9pm on Friday at Broadgreen House.

Simplicity Funerals is turning 5...

and we’re celebrating!

It was 16th February 2015 that Simplicity Funerals Nelson first opened their doors and this week the staff have lots to celebrate, says Manager Anna Loach.

“The past 5 years have been so rewarding to be part of. In our first year we really created a niche for ourselves, people loved the name Simplicity and what we stood for – we made everything simple and uncomplicated at what was such a very difficult time for people. We also offered excellent value for money with our special Simplicity Only funeral plans. Right from day one we have been totally immersed in our local community sponsoring and assisting local groups and organisations in a wide variety of ways. Since then thanks to incredible local support Simplicity Funerals has grown every year and in 2019 over 200 local families trusted us to look after their loved ones.

One thing that will never change is our positive outlook and total focus on offering the highest

standard of care to our families, for example when we first opened some people thought that having a small chapel rather than the large traditional funeral home chapel would be a disadvantage to us, this most definitely has not been the case. As the funeral industry changes and the wishes of families on the way that they may wish to celebrate a loved one’s life, the intimacy that is created in a small space has proven to be a success,” she says, “and the feedback that we receive from our families is really positive.”

“When we hold services in our chapel, we are able to create a very personalised space and for some families, a very relaxed lounge atmosphere where they can enjoy each other’s company whilst being present with their love one. They can share favourite music, reminisce with photographs on the screen or simply enjoy refreshments either before or following a service.”

“With the many beautiful venues that are readily available within the Nelson Tasman region, the alternative options are endless”, she says, “this enables families to really personalise a service and truly reflect someone’s lifestyle and personality away from the funeral home.”

Anna says that during the past five years the staff numbers have also grown significantly.

“When we first opened there was just Andrea and myself, and as we have continued to grow the business, our staffing numbers have increased accordingly. We are truly blessed to have such calibre of staff working in our team and each share the same values and integrity for the work that we do.

We are extremely proud of our contribution to the Nelson Tasman community. It’s been an amazing journey!”

If this is what we can achieve and create in our first five years, we can’t wait to see what the next five years will bring.

Hospice gets $26,000 funds boost Staff Reporter The Nelson Tasman Hospice is more than $26,000 better off after the support of local Farmers stores.

The amount was part of a larger $759,000 windfall for hospices around the country. The funds were raised toward the end of last year as part of the purchase of 15,000 of the hand-painted collectable baubles “Ngaru” by Spencer Bellas.

“Farmers have recognised that their staff and customers really want to support people in their own communities living with a life-limiting condition. Because of this focus, people know their donations stay local and will mean their community’s hospice is there free of charge for anyone who needs support,” says Mary Schumacher, CEO, Hospice NZ. Frans Dellebeke, CEO of Nelson Tasman Hospice, says the the donation of $26,298.72 will enable Nelson Tasman Hospice to continue providing specialised palliative care free of charge to patients across the region, and support to their families.

“Not only did the team at Farmers, embrace raising funds for our hospice, they also worked as ambassadors for our services, helping the community to better understand the work we do. The awareness raising that comes from being involved with Farmers is invaluable. The enthusiasm and commitment from all staff and the people of Nelson and Tasman have contributed to this amazing result, thank you so much.”

Chief Financial Officer of Farmers Michael Power, says he is proud of the amount raised during its Christmas hospice campaign “through a combined effort and generous donations made by our customers, our staff, and our business”.

Mary says the organisation can’t thank the Farmers team and their customers enough for their generosity towards hospice.

“To once again raise more than three quarters of a million dollars is incredible. I witnessed firsthand the depth of engagement between hospice and the Farmers team, they are working so hard to raise not only funds, but also awareness of the work we do.”

Opinion

Your Voice Rental landscape leaves tenants ‘powerless’ I think the problem could also be that landlords have been burnt one too many times by terrible tenants and would rather not go through the stress, therefore less houses available. The government needs to step in and build more houses for the renting population or make it harder for that small sector of society to trash houses and get away with it. A blacklist of bad tenants would be a good start. I hope this family finds some much-needed stability. Very unfair.

Leila McGregor It’s the government making the ridiculous rules on landlords that has caused this.

Many landlords simply can’t afford to meet the criteria or deal with bad tenants - it’s easier just to sell. The sad reality is, that in trying to upgrade rental condi-

tions it has simply put people out of homes. Anne Simmons The rental landscape is a long-term situation.

Twenty years ago, it was difficult to get tenants at times. There has been a huge shortfall in new builds. Not surprising as new houses are very expensive and difficult to create. NZ has had huge migration increases in the last decade and a rapid expansion of tourism. The raising of housing standards, while well intentioned, has been too hasty and poorly managed and has taken some properties out of rental circulation, which has not helped.

Julian Edmonds Due to the price of properties, rent has to be high to cover the cost of the mortgage.

Hidden extras such as rates, insurance, repairs and maintenance all add to the cost landlords have to cover. As a landlord, we do not cover all the costs, but see this as our way of investing into a super-

annuation plan which will provide for us in our retirement. So, we are happy to invest into a property with this long-term goal. To anyone who believes landlords are greedy, I would be happy to outline the actual cost of having a rental property. Government should reduce regulations so people can build at affordable levels without such outrageous costs for compliance, health and safety, and council fees.

Nigel Calder Yes, it is time for a massive shift in the residential structure of many cities, especially Nelson. The best thing is that when the aging population have declined and balanced out, then all the retirement villages will become available for co-living/mixed living and general rental properties. But that doesn't solve the big issues right now.

ACC in the same "boat" as people on WINZ. And, when you have kids, you find out the there is one property management company that won’t rent to people with kids, so your options in property management are limited.

Sunny Daly It is too hard to save for a house when you're spending $550 a week on rent.

Living with family for 12 months or more is what most people are forced to do in Nelson, and it pushes family relationships to the absolute limit! However, it is worth it just to have your own house for you and your kids and not having to move every eight months and find new rentals, which is not an ideal situation when you have kids.

Nelson Matters Climate change was the focus of my annual speech to Rotary this year. It is a complex subject with Nelsonians having strongly polarised views.

I have been heavily engaged in the issue since attending the Rio Earth Summit in 1992 as a new MP when New Zealand signed the United Nations Convention on Climate Change and since as Conservation, Environment and Climate Change Minister. An analysis by the media in December noted I had spoken on the subject in Parliament more than any other MP. Climate change is a serious problem but I am not in the apocalypse camp. We have future risks from nuclear war, disease pan-

demics, major earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. We need to manage each, including climate change, as prudently as possible, based on the science.

I get why young people are protesting. The world committed to stabilising annual greenhouse gas emissions at 30 billion tonnes back in 1992 but they have grown 60% to 50 billion tonnes. NZ’s emissions grew 13% under the Bolger/Shipley years (1990-99) and another 10% under Clark (1999-2008).

The Key/English Government did better (2008-2017), reducing emissions slightly by 0.03% despite the population growing 15% and the economy 25%. This was achieved by policies like

insulating 500,000 homes, implementing the ETS, restricting dairy growth, growing renewable energy generation, incentives for electric cars and improving public transport.

It is worrying that NZ’s emissions are rising again. They dropped 24,000 tonne/year in the last Parliament (2014-2017) but the latest Ministry Report projects they will rise by 48,000 tonnes per year during this parliamentary term (2017-2020). The new Government claimed emissions would fall to 79.9 million tonnes this year but now say they would be 80.9 million tonnes, ie a million tonnes worse.

New Zealand needs to do our fair share globally on climate

Questionable priorities once again. Not a lot of wisdom or forward thinking goes into making Nelson better for ALL people it seems, not just one demographic. Housing (both more and affordable) for all, better salaries (sunshine wages are a reality of living here) need to be addressed. Or Nelson will end up being just one big, expensive rest home.

change just as we do on defence and security, humanitarian aid and refugees. That is why National committed NZ to a 30% reduction in emissions by 2030 in the Paris Agreement in 2016.

It is critical we deliver this.

The new Climate Change Commission set up by the Government with National’s support sets up a good process but the hard decisions are ahead. The best opportunity for NZ to reduce emissions are electric vehicles and phasing out coal for heating. That’s why I bought one of New Zealand’s earliest full electric cars a decade ago.

waste. I, too, want to see our hospitals and schools convert away from coal for heating.

We need to dramatically grow our renewable energy to support these changes. A full electric car fleet by 2050 would require six Clyde Dams or building one very five years, or 60 Cobb Dams or one every six months to power them. More hydro, wind, solar and geothermal power will be needed.

Guy’s big ‘royal’ gig

News

WEDNESDAY 12 February 2020

Jonty Dine

Nelson’s comedy king is coming home.

Guy Williams will perform in Nelson for the first time in three years when he takes to the stage on Valentine’s Day. Guy is best known for appearing on the Jono and Ben Show and will realise a childhood dream on Friday night.

“It’s my first time doing the legendary Theatre Royal.”

This has been a goal of Guy’s after growing up watching his younger sister and brother do youth theatre there.

In between the laughs, Guy says he is relishing the chance to come back home.

“This show is secretly also a chance to have a holiday in Nelson and catch up with family.”

However, they may not be in the audience come show time.

“My family, especially my parents, really hate my shows.”

Much to his parents delight, Guy is also bringing his siblings on stage.

“Hopefully, my younger sister Maria will be an opening act and I’m trying to talk my younger brother into doing it, too.”

Guy says he hopes to put on a political show that “doesn’t suck”.

“I know that sounds impossible and I can’t promise that I will achieve this amazing goal, but I’ll give it a good shake because we’ve all got to do something to fill in the time before we die.”

The show, which starts at 8pm, is ‘pay what you want’ – from $10 to $40.

Big bold move for fabrication specialists

Local businessman Chris Nielsen has demonstrated what’s possible in a short space of time in Nelson.

“We started All Stainless Ltd two and a half years ago and we’ve gone from nothing to where we are today,” says Chris. “Recently we moved to a much larger premises and, later on this year, we’re bringing in more equipment including some awesome laser technology.”

The new building is modern and spacious.

The New Zealand-born fabrication engineer completed his

training in Denmark. “I did three different trades – stainless steel metal, automation, and heating and cooling, before returning to New Zealand in 2005.” Chris initially had a job at the port then bought into a local business before setting up All Stainless Ltd in January 2017. “We had a lease on Bolt Road for several years, but when we moved in, we were pretty choc-a-bloc; there were lots of sharp corners to avoid and I managed to rip three new shirts in a row! So now that we have a much bigger space, it’s really

great and we can take on larger projects.” The All Stainless team opened the doors to its brandnew premises nearly two weeks ago. The modern, spacious building on Venice Place, which was built by Contour Building, has a 9-metre high ceiling, two large workshops and smart new offices. “The workshops will be heated in the winter and solar-powered with 10 kilowatts of power – the lighting takes about 6 and a half, so with just the computers going, it’s pretty much free.

Chris says their previous place was quite busy with lots of vehicles coming and going and bringing dust in, but in their new location, it’s noticeably quieter, with good access and carparks for the staff. “I think we can grow here.”

Creating high-quality metal structures

prep, make all the drawings and programme a press and the guillotine, then the sheet comes out, they fold it up, then glue it, etc. “With stainless you have to be really accurate – there’s two different types of sheet metal workers, there’s stainless and mild steel - if that gets bunged up you can paint over it, but with stainless steel, if you make a mistake, it’s pretty much scrap because it shows everything.”

Kiley, Dan, John, Anita and owner Chris are very pleased to have relocated to a spacious new, modern premises on Venice Place. to the delivery of the finished product. Utilising their specialist knowledge, the experienced team design, implement and improve manufacturing systems and processes by folding, cutting and welding. The business employs the latest technology using the state-of-the-art Swing beam guillotine and 3.7mm CNC Press Brake. Chris says no two days are the same. “The boys never know what they’re getting into. It can be flashings, benchtops, handrails, tanks, pipework - anything that’s made of stainless steel or aluminium.”

No job too small or big

Chris says 90 percent of their business is repeat customers, but they also take on

new clients, especially now that they have a new workshop where they can ‘actually move around!”

“We’ve worked with some big names in the food industry, manufacturing everything from benchtops to rangehoods for a lot of local restaurants; we’ve worked with businesses like Hopgoods, Burger Culture, The Boatshed Café and numerous large companies like King Salmon.” No matter how small or big the job is, the team always takes care of their customers, whether it’s a 200-hundred-dollar job or a 2000-dollar project. “We do 90 percent of the work onsite and we also transport, deliver and install.”

Game-changing laser technology

“We’ve got laser cutting coming later this year which is exciting. If we’re making a signature bench and double sink, normally it will take around two and a half hours to put out using a grinder, but the laser takes less than 30 seconds; it cuts all the way around, cuts the corners and the hole and it’s still flat, but when we cut it with a grinder can get a bit distorted so we often have to straighten it. We do box, pipe and sheet laser cutting so we can engrave and cut our things very accurately. If you’re making a balustrade and you need to scallop out a tube, normally you’d cut it out and file it, but laser does the whole lot.”

All Stainless Ltd use the latest equipment for aluminium and stainless steel fabrication including this 3.7mm CNC press brake for folding, with laser cutting coming soon.

The team at All Stainless are ‘very efficient’ and the jobs come in and go out pretty fast.

“Between John and I there’s about 60-70 years’ experience. Dan has just finished off his apprenticeship and Kiley has been training with us for a while. Anita has just left us to take up a new position, so Kaylie is coming onboard as our new front office staff member. We are also looking to hire more people, but the work does require some pretty good skills, like knowing your geometry because you have to be able to measure, etc.”

‘Fresh start’ for All Stainless Ltd

Chris says moving to the new

location feels like a fresh start for All Stainless. “When you’ve got 300 square metres you wonder how you can fill it up, then a year later you’ve got 1200 square metres and you start from scratch again. You take this big step – it’s all about taking a risk and going for it.”

At All Stainless, everyone takes real pride in their work. “We are into quality and precision,” says Chris. “We’re not into banging and smacking things together, not here.”

Visit All Stainless Ltd on Facebook or phone on 022 0922 193. There will be a barbeque on February 13th for new and existing customers – see Facebook for details.

Blending botany and art at McKee Peter Gibbs

WEDNESDAY 12 February 2020

Artist Cathy Jones opened her exhibition ‘A Clean Sweep’ at the McKee Gallery in the Suter this week.

Art and botany are twin interests in Cathy’s life. She has worked for DOC as a threatened plant botanist and still carries out contract work in her retirement.

A particular botanical interest is in native brooms and finely-detailed broom flowers are a feature in this exhibition.

However, the connection with reality ends there, as

her imagination takes flight, linking the botanical broom with the housekeeping variety - sweeping out old ideas and habits.

Cathy comes from a family of artists that spans six generations, from her grandfather, an architect who also painted, and her father, who retired at 60 and spent the next 30 years of his life painting, through her daughter and granddaughters to her great granddaughters.

Although she’s painted all her life, it wasn’t until her retirement from full time work

that Cathy was able to take stock of her art and her life, enrolling in an advanced diploma course with The Learning Connexion in Wellington.

Since the two-year, part time course, Cathy has spent another two years resolving the issues it raised and now feels ready to explore new directions with her art.

“I feel as if I’m healthier in mind and body than I have been for a long time.”

Among the issues she’s sorted through is the notion that people shouldn’t be so obsessed by housework, so the clean sweep she has in

mind doesn’t quite extend to the physical.

Cathy suggests that in looking at her paintings, viewers need to look for the various meanings and messages, as her semi-abstract figures wrestle with housework at the same time as they grapple with the issues in their minds.

The paintings keep a hold on reality with the tiny little New Zealand broom flowers that are sprinkled through the works in the exhibition.

A Clean Sweep, by Cathy Jones, continues at the McKee Gallery in the Suter until Sunday, February 23.

NEW IMPROV AT SUTER: CUSP is a new improvised theatre show being created as a collaboration between Wintergreen Creative and the Suter Theatre. Every month, an hour of spontaneous storytelling will be themed and offered to the community. This month, the show bursts into Nelson’s orbit with the theme, Outer Space. CUSP is comprised of Dan and Lisa Allan, Gina Foley, Glenn Cousins, Fleur Jackson and Jade Alborn.

CUSP is set to be an intimate affair with a focus on community, connection and creating beautiful memories for families. Grab your tickets, join the CUSP troupe and be part of the launch on Thursday 13 February at 6pm. Tickets from $6 at www.eventfinda.co.nz. There is also an option to donate 10 tickets to a school, for those looking to support inclusivity in the arts in this way. Photo: Supplied.

SportS Football: Tasman United’s hot run of form hit a wall at the weekend. The side travelled to the capital to take on Team Wellington but, with a chance to get into the top four, they went down 3-1. A sole first half goal to Sam Wilson wasn’t enough for Tasman as they were handed a seventh loss for the season.

Things won’t get easier as next weekend sees the side host the unbeaten Auckland City at Trafalgar Park.

Kick off on Sunday is at 2pm.

Cricket: The Central Stags’ Ford trophy campaign came to an end on Sunday with a crushing nine wicket loss to Canterbury in New Plymouth. Central posted an under-par 237 all out on the back of a Bayley Wiggins century but it was never enough as the Wizards cruised to the total with more than 12 overs to spare. A 109-run opening partnership set the tone for Canterbury who batted the Stags into submission. Central ends the on-day season in bottom place with just two wins from ten games.

Basketball: The Mike Pero Nelson Giants have announced the re-signing of Australian Rhys Vague for the 2020 season. Rhys, affectionately known as the ‘Vanilla Gorilla’ had a stellar season for the Giants in 2019 averaging almost 17 points per game. He is currently playing for the Perth Wildcats in the ANBL and will join the club in early March. The Giants kick off its season on Thursday April 9 against the Jets.

Tip-off at the Trafalgar Centre is 7pm.

College rowers lead the way at South Island Champs Staff Reporter The next generation of Nelson rowers flexed their muscles at the recent South Island Club Champs -bringing home a slew of medals as they set their sights on one of the country’s most coveted prizes.

It was the Nelson College rowers making a statement on the water, claiming gold in the U16 double sculls and intermediate quad.

The Nelson Rowing Club were regulars on the podium at Lake Ruataniwha, claiming a total haul of three gold, five silver and three bronze.

Comprised of 34 college rowers, seven club rowers (rowers under 27 who have left school) and three Masters rowers (27 years and over),the club also made another 12 A Finals and 8 B Finals.

Club administrator Fiona Lulham says this tally could have been even higher if not for unfavourable conditions.

“There was a delayed start to finals day on Sunday due to windy conditions and the Nelson team had to leave Twizel before the end of the regatta for the tenhour return bus journey home.”

She says college rowers Flynn Mercer and Bryce Stace had an outstanding

regatta, winning gold in the Boys U/16 Double Sculls, and then teaming up with Toby Middleton, Buster Jennings and cox Flynn Hennessy to win gold in the Men’s Intermediate Coxed Quad.

Mercer and Stace also rowed with Rico Fraser, Ollie Ransom and Hennessy to take the silver in the Boys U/17 Coxed Squad Sculls.

“Our master rowers were not to be outdone by their younger counterparts by adding three silvers and one bronze to the tally.”

Elsewhere, Eva Lloyd and Macy Kappely joined forces with rowers from Wairau Rowing Club to win gold in the Women’s Club Quad Sculls.

Fiona says the club’s college rowers will now enter an intense training phase.

“This will be in preparation for the South Island Secondary Schools regatta in March where they will compete for their respective schools and the pinnacle event, New Zealand Secondary Schools Championships, better known as Maadi Cup in April.”

Sophie’s grasps ‘aloha’ moment Locally Owned and Operated

When Sophie Manson was a child she was always jumping on and flipping off things, so a family friend suggested she try gymnastics.

“It was probably the safest option,” she jokes.

What began as a way to harness her energy has turned into a potential path to the Olympic Games.

Fast forward 11 years and the young gymnast is competing with some of the best in the world.

Sophie recently returned from Hawaii where she took part in two consecutive competitions, ‘Gymnastics in Paradise’ and ‘Aloha Gymfest’.

She was part of a team of 14 Kiwis who qualified for the team, following nationals in October.

Unaware of her selection, a friend messaged her the link to the team.

“It was really exciting because I had no clue.”

Mako make history in America Locally Owned and Operated

“It was a bit different because I’m usually one of the quiet ones, but I definitely enjoyed it and was more comfortable in the end.”

It wasn’t all business for the Mako on tour, though, as they got to enjoy a live NBA game as the Houston Rockets took on the Oklahoma City Thunder.

“That was definitely a highlight.”

Jamie says some of the boys might be bringing back a few extra kilograms after indulging in the local cuisine.

“We enjoyed eating some good Texan steaks.”

He says the reception they got from locals was surprising.

“I couldn’t believe how much they got into it. People would see us and ask us who we were and what we’re doing. Rugby is quite popular in Seattle so fans were excited to see a team from New Zealand.”

He says he would be the first to put his hand up for future tours.

“It was such a good experience, the coaches were awesome, and the teams hosted us really well. I would love to do it again.”

After proving itself as the country’s premier provincial side, the Tasman Mako has had a taste of international competition in the United States.

The Mitre 10 Cup champions recently embarked on a two-week tour to Houston and Seattle for two exhibition games.

With the majority of the Mako squad on Super Rugby duty, it was the perfect chance to blood some wider squad members Vice-captain Jamie Spowart was given a leadership role which he relished after limited game time in 2019.

“It was a really good opportunity for me to step up,” the young speedster says.

Swim records broken Peter Gibbs

Alec Swan dominated the Haulashore Circuit, race three of the Clements Endurance Swim Series on Sunday, setting a new record of 32min 19sec for the 2.8km course.

Timed to minimise the current, the race started 30 minutes before high water, so swimmers faced the last vestiges of the incoming tide as they swam from the yacht club to the “dolphin” navigation marker and out through The Cut. It was slack water as the field rounded the south end of the island, only to face the outgoing tide as they made their way north to the dolphin and back to the yacht club.

In the tenth year of the race, Alec cracked Hayden Squance’s 2017 record and the perfect conditions opened the door for Oxford Bayley and Fergus Drummond to also dip under the record.

Terry Bone broke the teen stranglehold to take fourth place, ahead of Sierra Thomas, who broke Pip Dwyer’s 2015 women’s record.

Next was three-time winner Matt Hansen and last year’s women’s winner Christina Harris, who is in good shape as she prepares for her 23km swim from Australia’s west coast through shark-invested waters to Rottnest Island.

Back in the field, last year’s winner Ben Marshall chose to swim without a wetsuit.

He was challenged all the way by 59-year-old Christchurch swimmer Peter Johnson, also swimming without a wetsuit,

the pair finishing eleventh and twelfth.

Only a second separated the pair at the finish.

In an upset in the senior ranks, 78-year-old Derek Eaton turned the tables on a younger Stuart Hebberd, who turned 72 earlier in the week, the pair finishing 23rd and 26th in the field of 67 swimmers.

Several swimmers achieved the goal of circumnavigating the island, an aspirational achievement for Erin O’Connor, Fiona Young, Paula Meer and Kevin Edgar.

Twelve swimmers took on the short swim of about 900m to the dolphin and return. In an allwomen podium, Lauren Penney won from Nicole Le Bas Thurlow, Lisa Stanley, Jenni Phillips and Kay Stansbury-Ward.

The final swim in the Clements series is the 3.8km Ironman Challenge from Tahuna Beach on March 1, a week out from the national Interislander Big Tahuna on March 7.

Swimming continues in the Port Nelson series each Thursday.

s w e N g n i h s Fi The Boom and Bust of the Tasman Bay Snapper fishery Michael Stump

the fish that were born in the Bay used to stay around this area and grew up here. There was not much stock coming from outside the SNA7 area. Therefore the fish born in 2007 are now the ones we are catching today in good numbers and sizes.

A new development that is happening right now is that snapper started to move south from the north islands west coast. This area holds the largest snapper biomass in NZ waters. Catches are reported as far south as Jacksons Bay and Dunedin. This is most likely related to climate change and warmer water temperatures.

Despite the increase in recreational fishing in Tasman Bay and a possible upcoming increase in commercial quota the outlook for our local snapper is positive with stocks predicted to improve further over the next 5 years.

Tight lines!

In our last column (issue of 29/1/20) we looked back to the beginnings of the commercial fishing in Nelson and the impact it had on the local snapper during the 20th century.

Tasman Bay always has been an important spawning ground for snapper. In spring the fish move into the shallow water for this event and then hang around until autumn.

Spawning success is very dependent on outside influences like water temperature, currents, available food and more.

Even if you have a lot of fish spawning this doesn’t mean that it will result in a high recruitment rate. Today a lot of research and science goes into monitoring the fisheries.

During the 1980s and 90s recruitment was relatively low on average, this started to improve in the early 2000s with good recruitment years in 2002, 2005, 2007 and 2010. 2007 was an exceptional recruitment year.

Nelson College secure semi-final berth

Peter Grigg

Nelson College had a simple challenge on Saturday in the final round of the TPL club cricket competition - win with a bonus point, or title aspirations were over.

So, they did just that to set up a return clash with ACOB on Saturday 23 February with the winner challenging Car Company Stoke Nayland on the ? in the final.?

Sunday Mason Lund scored a responsible and overdue half century to anchor the innings for Nelson College against ACOB at Saxton Oval.

Patrick Wilson and Flynn Day both played support roles to Lund on what turned out to be a slow and low deck.

In the run chase, ACOB faltered right from the get-go.

Big Jarrod Mckay was dangerous and new ball partner, Ronan Restieaux, also constantly asked questions of all the batsmen.

There were no meaningful partnerships and the best batting came towards the tail from the

old stager Reuben Smith.

Finn Raxworthy chimed in with a couple of cheap wickets as the Nelson College boys never took their foot off the throat of big brother.

At the other end of the table, a timely victory by Wanderers/ Motueka cemented their late season resurgence and moved them off the foot of the table.

Batting first, WTTU were dismissed for a below par total ?of 136 in just the 35th over against Wanderers/Motueka at Jubilee Park.

Skipper Sam Baxendine was top scorer for WTTU and was undefeated when the innings terminated.

With Dean Hawley, Baxendine added 61 for the sixth wicket, but there were no other partnerships of any real substance.

There were plenty of nervous moments in the Wanderers/ Motueka reply. At 91/2 it seemed all done and dusted.

The youthful Boe Bamford and the experienced Dave Leonard appeared to have everything under control.

Josh Newport though had other ideas and the right arm opening bowler begun to cut a swathe through the visitors batting.

He removed both Bamford and Leonard in a lethal spell which ended up netting him a well deserved five wicket bag. At 130/7 it was anyone’s game, but the batsmen held their nerve.

WTTU ended up using eight bowlers and the 28 wides they conceded were instrumental in the combined team being able to squeak home in the 38th over.

Scorecards: Nelson College 159/9 (Mason Lund 52*, Patrick Wilson 25, Josh Simpson 3/22, David Zohrab 2/41) ACOB 89 (Reuben Smith 33, Jarrod McKay 4/21, Finn Raxworthy 2/7) Nelson College won by 70 runs WTTU 136 (Sam Baxendine 41*, Dean Hawley 31, Andrew Beatson 4/44) Wanderers/Motueka 138/7 (Boe Bamford 45, Dave Leonard 30, Josh Newport 5/26) Wanderers/Motueka won by 3 wickets
