Feral goats cause carnage Sara Hollyman Reporter

sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Residents of an Atawhai subdivision have been left feeling gruff due to a large mob of feral goats who are running riot through

their neighbourhood.

Rural property in the hills of Atawhai are providing safe living and breeding grounds for a large goat population who are becoming brazen and cheeky, but the owners of this land do not want the goats culled on their property.

Atawhai resident Gwen Ellis has been living in her suburban home for nearly 2 years and says the goats have been a problem ever since they began building.

“Apart from a quiet lull of a few months, they’ve pretty much been an on-going issue since the

start of our build.”

She estimates she has spent over $1000 trying to keep the goats out of her property, and has now had to make their fences higher, as the goats have started jumping over them to get to her garden.

“You don’t expect that when you

build a residential house and spend all that money on landscaping that you would have a problem with feral goats constantly coming in and destroying it.”

Holly wins $5000, thanks to city retailers Charles Anderson Holly Barnes says she very rarely answers numbers that she doesn’t know.

But it’s just as well she answered a call from the Nelson Weekly last week as it was to let her know that she had won $5000 cash.

“I had no idea. I thought it was prank call.”

In fact, the Shop and Win entry form that she filled out last month had been drawn by a Nelson Police officer.

Holly’s was one of thousands of entries put in by dozens of shops all around the CBD. Shop and Win is a Nelson city retail promotion that sees forty retailers take part, giving one lucky shopper the chance to win Holly Barnes, of The Wood, was the winner of $5000 cash for the Shop and Win competition that ran for six weeks in Nelson city.

“My fondest memory is when the space out front was all grass and no carparks. I appreciate the carparks needed to be enlarged but it seemed to move from one era to the next overnight.”

$5000 cash.

This year more than 50,000 entries were completed over the six week competition with Holly the ultimate winner. She says she filled in around six forms during the competition at various retailers around town. “It was funny because every one I filled in was because the retailer told me to fill it in. I wouldn’t have done it otherwise.”

The winning entry was filled in at Hartley’s in Morrison Square. Holly had gone to get her eyes checked and needed new glasses.

“I’m so fussy with them and I couldn’t decide what I wanted.”

She was recommended to go to Hartley’s and bought a pair there. “So it was a pretty good decision.”

Holly and her partner are saving for a house which is what the money will go to.

“It’s a bit adulty. It happens to us all. But this will definitely help though. I’m hoping not all of it has to go toward that though because you have to have some fun.”

Uniquely Nelson’s Simon Duffy, which also sponsored the event alongside Nelson Weekly, says Shop and Win is a great initiative to create

some buzz around shopping in the CBD, especially during the winter months. “It’s one of the core promotions we have now and it’s really exciting to see someone win this amount of money.”

Nelson Weekly managing director Andrew Board says the promotion was a runaway success.

“What other competition would see more than 50,000 entries over six weeks? It’s quite incredible but $5000 is also quite an incredible prize. So, we’re delighted with how it went and delighted that Holly is the winner – she was very excited.”

FROM PAGE 1 Gwen says that she has had many conversations with both Nelson and Tasman councils, which jointly manage the region’s pest management strategy.

“In one of the more ridiculous conversations I was told, ‘well ,it’s not really our (council’s) problem even if they are on the road, but if they come on to your property you’re allowed to kill them yourself ’.

“How am I supposed to do that? I don’t own a firearm and even if I did, you can’t just discharge a firearm in a residential area.”

Gwen’s neighbourhood had 20 goats roaming the streets last week, four of which jumped the fence into her garden.

Nelson City Council group manager environmental management Clare Barton says that they are aware of the situation.

“It is a fraught issue because some people want to retain the goats and the ability to control them is complex.”

She says that under the Urban Environment Bylaw, they can enforce fencing of livestock, but these particular goats are not covered under that due to

Goats are also not considered a pest under the combined Tasman-Nelson pest management strategy.

Tasman District Council team leader biosecurity and biodiversity Paul Sheldon says that most Regional Pest Management Strategies do not cover goats as they are already covered under the Wild Animal Control Act. “Goats are very mobile and can be classed as domestic stock or a pest depending on whose perspective is taken, so somewhat controversial.”

The Department of Conservation (DOC) oversees the administering of the Wild Animals Control Act but they say Atawhai’s feral goat situation

isn’t their problem either.

“DOC’s goat control is focussed on the protection of native species and other conservation values from goats, and particularly in national parks and other conservation areas,” says Chris Golding, DOC Motueka operations manager.

Gwen just wants a resolution that will keep the goats out.

“It would be nice, if the council are going to abdicate responsibility, that they at least facilitate a meeting between the landowners.

“We feel a bit like we are banging our heads against the wall because nobody will commit to a solution.”

Clare Barton says council will arrange a meeting with landowners to discuss the problem.

Museum mulls how to move on homeless man Charles Anderson

NEWS Projects to be added to the Regional Land Transport Plan: Noise and safety improvements will be made to Nelson roads as part of its long-term plan.

At a meeting last week, the Regional Transport Committee recommended to Council that the Nelson Regional Land Transport Plan (RLTP) is varied to include a total of $4.97M for “Noise Improvements” and $350,000 for “Safety Enhancements on the State Highway Network”. The funding for these projects will be spread over the 2018-21 financial years. The Noise Improvement Programme involves the application of the lower road noise surface and the Safety Enhancements will include the continuation of the central barrier along the Whakatu Bypass.

A homeless man who has been sleeping rough outside the Nelson Provincial Museum for more than a month says he has no immediate plans to move on.

The Nelson City Council and the museum have tried to figure out a way to get Jason McCutcheon to leave the bench on Hardy St but to no avail.

“I don’t know where to go yet,” says Jason.

“Only time will tell.”

Clare Barton, council’s group manager environmental management has been liaising with the Ministry for Social Development to assist Jason to find suitable accommodation.

“Council approaches any homeless situation on a case by case basis as the reasons why a person sleeps in the CBD are varied.”

Last year the council brought in a new “City Amenity Bylaw” that sought to mitigate some of the issues caused by Lewis Stanton’s long protest on Trafalgar St. Under the bylaw, sleeping or otherwise occupying a footpath or road at night, for two

If other measures were unsuccesful, council said it would conisder using the bylaw to move Jason on.

Museum chief executive Lucinda Blakely-Jimson says that they recognise homelessness in any form and rough sleeping is not the best outcome.

“We are hoping that the council will be able to find a healthier and safer option for Jason.”

A solution may be organically found, however. As part of a general upgrade of the building frontage, the museum board is considering adding handrails to the seats to make them easier to stand up from.

This will make the bench impossible to sleep on.

“Some of this upgrade and

repair work is yet to be confirmed,” says Lucinda.

As for Jason, he says he hasn’t slept rough before, but part of the charm is that “no one is in charge of me”.

“But I don’t know what people are thinking of me when they are walking past. But I do get a good sleep.

“People have given me some blankets and a polar fleece. It’s all good.”

Low vision trial to begin in Nelson: Nelson residents can now access free low vision rehabilitation services, as part of a trial run in partnership by the Blind Foundation and Matthews Optometry clinic. The clinic will run one day every month to support people who are finding it hard to read and provide people with a low vision needs assessment and tailored advice for the use of tools, like magnification and management of glare and lighting. The aim is to make everyday activities easier such as reading documents, emails, the newspaper or recipes, and telling the time. To book an appointment, contact Matthews Nelson on 5483249.

New airport terminal arrives

New festival set to soar

Charles Anderson

A major new festival for Nelson will see hot air balloons, sky diving exhibitions, fireworks and musical performances bring the region to life next weekend.

Local tourism operators are behind Lift Off Abel Tasman Festival which features two days of aerial adventure and fun over Labour Weekend.

Event organiser Johny O’Donnell says the festival will create an amazing vibe for the region.

“I am delighted that the community and tourism operators have got behind this event. It will be amazing,” he says.

The first day of festivities at Motueka Airport on Saturday, October 20, will be family-oriented, while the second day at Kaiteriteri Beach will have a beach party theme.

“Balloons on the Beach” will feature what’s believed to be the first-ever hot air balloon night glow on the beach.

Night glows are an increasingly popular global phenomenon that attract people in their thousands. A similar event in the Waikato, Balloons Over Waikato, has become Hamilton’s biggest night out and has been voted best Waikato event six times by the people of Hamilton.

After 44 years, Nelson gets its new airport with still more to come Editor

charles@nelsonweekly.co.nz

The old Nelson Airport terminal was conspicuously dark in the predawn hours on Tuesday morning as the new terminal sprang into action.

The $32 million project, designed to mirror the mountainous landscape of the region, marks a new era for the airport.

“It’s been exciting for a while now,” says airport chief executive Rob Evans. “But now this is the realisation of it.”

At 5.30am yesterday, airport marketing staff handed out cupcakes and free coffee cards to awaiting travellers.

Richard Miller, who was travelling with his family to Auckland, did not even realise he would be on the first flight out of the new terminal at 6.05am.

“I had no idea. But it’s really cool. It’s such an amazing space and with Nelson getting more popular you need something to cope and the old one was getting pretty chock-a-block.”

Most airline check-in facilities have been relocated to the new terminal, which also has two cafes and a large waiting area.

Stage one represented 60 per cent of the total project.

Forgotten WW1 soldier honoured

Jonty Dine

A forgotten veteran of World War One, who was laid to rest in an unmarked grave, has had his service to the country honoured.

Private Samuel Chase was buried in Nelson in 1941 and lay without acknowledgement for more than 77 years.

But when fellow military man Ian Martin realised Chase did not have a headstone in Wakapuaka Cemetery, he took it upon himself to rectify the situation.

About 20 dignitaries gathered at the cemetery on Friday afternoon to unveil Chase's headstone which reads ‘Great War Veteran.’

Born in Wairoa in 1873, Chase volunteered for the war effort in 1915.

A member of the 2nd Canterbury Infantry Battalion, he had his left arm amputated at the shoulder after catching a stray piece of shrapnel in his elbow during the third Battle of the Somme.

The 43-year-old was discharged due to not being fit for active service, and returned home seriously damaged both physically and mentally.

Samuel Chase.

“He tried to control and suppress the horrors he had been exposed to but Sam’s scars of war ran deep and continued to haunt him,” Ian says.

The only pathway deemed appropriate for a soldier with Sam’s afflictions was committal.

Chase was shipped to the Ngawhatu Asylum in Nelson in the early 1930s.

It was there, alone and without family or whanau, that Samuel Chase died in 1941. He was buried in the Catholic Section of the Wakapuaka Cemetery with two other asylum inmates – unmarked and anonymous.

“While researching a WW1 service medal awarded to Sam that had been sent to me to find a descendant for, I was

most surprised to find that Sam Chase had been buried here in Nelson. I went to visit his grave and was deeply saddened to discover that this returned New Zealand soldier, a man tormented by the memories of his service for King and Country, had been laid to rest miles from his family and Hawke’s Bay home.”

Ian says, for many soldiers like Sam, the end did not come quickly.

“Not by bomb, bullet, bayonet, bugs or drowned in a sea of mud, Sam’s sacrifice was ‘slow burning’, one of recurrent nightmares, confusion, sedation, ECT, abuse, neglect, denial of freedom, of family and friends or any hope for a future.”

Ian says it is his belief no returned service person should ever end their lives, irrespective of circumstances, without the State honouring their service and sacrifice by defining their last resting place.

“I was moved to rectify this travesty on behalf of Private Chase.”

Ian says, after being buried without honour, fanfare, funeral or bugle calls, Sam will now alway be remembered.

Stoke’s rotting library Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Stoke Library has become Nelson City Council’s latest headache after decay, rot and toxigenic mould was discovered in the roof beams and cavity - with the possibility of

more being revealed.

The problem could be so bad that a council asset manager suggested to councillors at Thursday’s community services committee meeting that the 25-year-old building may need a “complete overhaul”.

The issue only came to light a few weeks ago during some main-

tenance repairs by contractors, which revealed signs of water entering the building.

A weather tightness report undertaken by an independent surveyor was presented to council, revealing there is decay to the structural beams that provide support to the

building’s roof.

There was also visible timber rot and mould, and laboratory analysis identified brown rot on the frame and plywood sheathing and Stachybotrys toxigenic mould in the plasterboard.

The report says the roof beam sections would need to be fully

replaced, along with the wall below, and steel added to support the beam.

Roger Ball, group manager community services, told Nelson Weekly that the preliminary investigation reveals the repairs

Stoke centre to be open by Christmas?

Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Stoke could be getting an early Christmas present this year - a completed Greenmeadows Centre.

The troubled building may be open by December, Nelson City Council’s community services committee heard on Thursday afternoon.

Council’s group manager infrastructure, Alec Louverdis, stated in a progress update that he is on-site frequently and feels "satisfied” that things are going fast enough, while still ensuring that quality remains the key focus.

"I monitor the resources, I monitor the progress and I am satisfied that the resources that they have on site are up to standard and it is moving through in a sequenced process. I don’t have any concerns

at the moment," he said.

"Quality remains the main focus. A completion date is not yet known but is likely to be sometime in December 2018."

The project has been plagued by shoddy workmanship, delays and budget increases since it began.

Concerns about out-of-town contractor Watts and Hughes’ workmanship were raised in June and an investigation revealed serious structural issues, prompt-

ing an independent audit.

The project has already had a $1 million budget increase from its original price and has had its deadline pushed out several times. Back in March, council approved additional funding to enable the completion of the centre and requested regular updates be provided.

Alec’s update stated that both the replacement of the cedar cladding panels along the western end of

the facility and all windows is now 80 per cent complete.

Construction of the base plates has just started on the first floor.

The misplaced stormwater drain has not been addressed yet.

Alec said that the needs of the centre’s future tenants are being met and certain groups will enter the building sooner than others when their section is complete.

"I am focused that building is delivered to the highest standard."

No bag battle for Nelson Kate Russell

Nelson shoppers have it in the bag - that’s what one local supermarket is saying.

It’s been exactly two months since Countdown supermarkets in Nelson axed single-use plastic carrier bags at their checkouts.

Manager of Countdown Trafalgar Park, David Smale, says they couldn’t have asked for a better transition.

“We’ve only had one complaint ... which is very positive, we think.”

Customer services manager Christine O’Connell says "Nelson was ready for this".

She says most customers bring fabric bags, otherwise they are happy to take a box or carry items.

Their 15 cent 'emergency' plastic bag is the least popular choice.

David says the next step is to remove and reduce plastic and packaging in other departments.

“Across the country we’ve already removed 70 tonnes of plastic from our produce section.”

This includes removing packaging

from bananas, which saved 15.8 tonnes of plastic.

“We are looking for alternatives where we can and encouraging our suppliers to work with us.”

Plastic straws were also given the flick on 1 October and instore soft plastic recycling remains well utilised with their 240-litre bin getting emptied four times a day.

FreshChoice Nelson was the first supermarket in the region to make the plastic change in June. New World and Pak ‘n Save say they will be ‘banning the bag’ from January.

Lions leave legacy at Marsden Locally Owned and Operated

NEW PARK FOR MARSDEN: Don Kelly and Sally Mason on the site of the new Woodland Park at Marsden Cemetery. Photo: Jonty Dine.

The Lions are leaving a legacy on the Nelson landscape.

To celebrate its 100-year anniversary, the Nelson Host Lions Club is creating a Woodland Park at Marsden Cemetery as a community project to be enjoyed by generations to come.

The club has previously signed a memorandum of understanding with Nelson City Council to turn hillside land at the end of Marsden Cemetery into a public Woodland Park.

Club project convenor Don Kelly said he was thrilled that the project is now under way after a long period of preparation and planning.

He said a member of the club, Sally Mason, came up with the idea for a park and after discussing it the club agreed it was a most suitable project to undertake.

"The people of Nelson have a great love of trees and we want to now add more so that future generations can enjoy

these too." She quotes a proverb which reminds members of their goal.

“The meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you never expect to sit.”

She says the council had been very supportive and has agreed to the club using the land for this project for the next 25 years.

The finished park will include landscaping, seating, and about 150 - 200 trees, planted over a two to three-year period by club members and supporters from the Marsden Valley community.

The club will plant mostly heritage trees in the park and it will include pathways meandering through them.

At a function to mark the signing of the memorandum of understanding with the couincil, councillor Gaile Noonan said the project was "an amazing thing to do" and she loved the fact the initiative came from the community.

"It's owned by the community and I'm all for that."

Parenting in your palm of your hand Charles Anderson Editor

charles@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Kelly Mahuika wants to bring the digital revolution to how we parent.

The Well Child App was first launched in 2016 but has since been revamped and redesigned to give parents a one stop resource for everything they need to know about their children from

0-5-years-old.

“The world is digital,” says Kelly.

“But the healthcare system hasn’t really caught up to it.”

The free app is non profit and funded by the Ministry of Health. It is run by the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board.

The app enables parents to upload a photo of their children and input their children’s details, such as date of birth, GP, midwife

along with the family’s health history.

It then uses the child’s date of birth to provide notifications for Well Child Assessments and vaccinations.

“Often parents are bombarded with information all at once but this app can give information when it’s time relevant to them,” says Kelly.

Kelly is a midwife who dreamed up the app and has since been the

project lead on it.

“I’m learning every single day.

I’ve really enjoyed it, but it’s been a steep learning curve.”

She hopes to get other health boards around the country on board and get ongoing funding from the Ministry of Health to develop it further, including creating a communication pathway between health practioners and parents.

“As a midwife, I recognized

how much information is underutilized due to untimely distribution, or sheer confusion on where to look. It is through this app that I hope to begin to change the way parents and caregivers navigate the wide world of information, improving access, and also reducing wasted money and resources.”

It can be downloaded on the App Store or via Google Play.

Opinion

Your Voice CBD suggestion: I would like to recommend an idea that the council close the following streets to traffic to enliven our CBD. Hardy St between Collingwood and Rutherford Streets, and also Trafalgar St from Hardy to Selwyn Place, from 10am, for 6 months. The reason is, this is the area of most restaurants and it would enliven and bring people into the CBD to walk, cycle, shop and communicate with others.

We just got back from Ljubljana in Slovenia and their city has no traffic in an area 10 times the size of Nelson. I have never been in such a lively, enjoyable setting in a city. To close Trafalgar Street would be a shame as this is how

we connect to the parking lots and there is no large enticement to "bring the shop into the streets" as there is with restaurants. We don't need more shops to bring people (the suggested mall) as we have enough empty shops already, we need more people to come and enrich and be enriched by our lovely city.

Dennis “Kirti” Pinna

Investor buys land for CBD retail complex: Awesome Steve. This will be a great thing for the long-term benefit of Nelson. I wish you all the best for the project. Caleb Hill Nelson needs something in town, as there are so many empty shops there.

Amanda Sears Good luck. Nelson needs a uplift. Hope it all works out!! Angela Knapp Let's hope he can actually purchase more and turn it into a great shopping complex.

A mall would be amazing with lots more car parks.

Just need to sort free parking like Richmond has and they'd attract more than enough people back to the CBD. Blair Scorpo Jones About time, this is what Nelson needs, to be honest.

Nelson Matters Our new airport terminal was blessed last Friday and opened for passengers this Tuesday. It is stunning. I love the architecture that mirrors our mountains, the laminated timber manufactured

by Nelson Pine and the huge glass frontage that captures our famed sunshine and wonderful vista. The engineer in me is also excited by the use of the new tectonus seismic system that you can see in the timber columns.

The upgrade was overdue. The old terminal was opened in 1974 when passenger numbers were 20,000 a year. It has become increasingly over crowded over the past decade as numbers have soared to over a million a

year. Nelson is New Zealand’s fifth busiest airport after Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Queenstown, despite many other centres being larger. This reflects our geographical isolation, popular tourism industry and the frequency and quality of our air services.

I commend the leadership and project management of this massive project. We owe our thanks to Nelson Airport Board Chair Paul Steere, CEO Rob Evans, Project Manager Matt Griffin, their full team and the architects, contractors and subbies.

Constructing a project of this size while keeping the airport functioning safely is a logistics

nightmare. We still have a year of transition ahead of us as the old terminal is demolished, the new terminal extended south and the roading and parking infrastructure reconfigured.

Our two Councils deserve credit for supporting this $30m investment in our region’s infrastructure. I have been pushing for this upgrade since 2010 and both Mayors and Councils have been supportive. My role was in helping get the $5m capital approval from Cabinet for the new Airways Corporation control tower.

This new terminal is also a statement of how important aviation is to the region. Prime Minis-

coulls, Noel Leeming, Smiths City, Harvey Norman, Kathmandu etc are already in central Nelson. Dennis Goodman New Bridge for Saltwater Creek?

Never mind the bridge, what about Saltwater Creek Lane? It appears on a select few maps but still doesn't have a signpost for drivers to find it.

John Blakeley Seems like an awful lot of timber, you could build the kids a nice mini ramp with all that money. Shaun Zweifellow There’s nowhere for the homeless to sleep. Best design that in before you have to rebuild it six times.

Jackie Blanchet

544 Waimea Road, Nelson

ter Syd Holland was ridiculed in the 1950s when the Government provided £20,000 for the airport in compensation for not linking Nelson to the national railway network. His statement then that air travel would become more important than rail has proved to be true.

There are some who have ambitions for international flights into Nelson and who have lobbied for runway extensions to enable jet services. I am cautious. Ratepayers in Rotorua, Invercargill, Palmerston North and Hamilton are paying dearly for similar big plans. Our airport is one of the few in regional New Zealand that pays Councils

a dividend. Nelson has carved out a niche as a centre of excellence in turboprop aircraft. Our services work because of their frequency and competitiveness.

Nelson Airport is better to focus on being the best rather than the biggest.

The airport is a gateway for our region. It is about first impressions for visitors. It is where we farewell our loved ones. It is where we welcome home our heroes. My hope for the completed project is a warm, friendly and welcoming place that celebrates the nature, art and industries that make Nelson so special.

Founders revamped with new food-focused bar Charles Anderson

Almost eight months after Founders Heritage Park lost its brewery café, the site is set to hop back into life.

What once was Founders Brewery, then Park Life, will on October 18 become “McCashins Hop Garden”.

The news comes after McCashins and the owners of the kitchen in Stoke have partnered again to lease the site just as summer is coming on.

“We just thought we would just give it a crack,” says Lincoln Womersly, who runs the McCashins Brewery Kitchen & Bar

and Blinc Catering.

The site has been on the market since March after the Duncan family, who ran it for 20 years, decided to put it up for sale.

There were some nibbles but no bites, so Lincoln approached them to see if they would consider leasing the business, which sits on Nelson City Council-owned land.

“We will do a bit of a renovation and we want to get it known for food and have a venue that is geared towards families.”

Lincoln says it will be shut on Mondays and Tuesdays, but open all public holidays.

They will do lunches five days

Lincoln Womersly is looking forward to opening the McCashins Hop Garden at Founders Park next week. Photo: Charles Anderson. a week and dinners two days a week, as well as being open later

on a Sunday.

“The emphasis is really going to

be on getting diners here and also doing really decent kids’ food,” he says.

Lincoln has worked in five-star restaurants and hotels across Melbourne before coming to New Zealand.

He says the foot traffic into Founders Park has suffered since the café closed and he was looking forward to seeing it brimming with people again.

But he only has a just over a week to make it happen.

“Everything has happened really quickly, but it will work. I was out here the other day sitting down and it was just beautiful. So I can’t wait.”

This baby grand piano is music to Nelson animals’ ears.

The piano was brought into Luscombes Auctions after its owner discovered it did not fit into his home. Instead, he asked Van and a Man to bring it into the auction house to go to the highest bidder. But all the proceeds will go to the Nelson SPCA. Brooke Langford, who works at the auction house and is also a piano teacher, has been playing the instrument and says it is a delight. The auction starts at 11am on Saturday, October 13. Photo: Charles Anderson.

Being located off Daelyn Drive at the Champion Road end, it is a five minute drive to central Richmond, and is walking distance to schools, the cycleway, cafes and proposed new supermarket. “We want to keep the quality and standard of the homes high, to reflect the neighbourhood," says Tanya.

Since its inception in 2005, In

Haus has annually entered the prestigious Master Builders House of the Year Awards and has consistently fared well; all of its homes entered have won medals, including two local supreme winners and four national category winners. Their most recent success this year was ‘Local Category Winner and Gold Award for New Homes in the $700,000 to $1,000,000’ prize bracket, as well as local winner for Sustainable Homes. In 2015, their son Shaun, who is a builder at InHaus, revealed he has the same ‘meticulous’ eye as his Dad, taking out the national ‘Apprentice of the Year’ award. “Russell’s previous training as a joiner gave him precise attention to detail. He’s also a qualified builder and has broad knowledge of the industry and building processes," says Tanya.

Meanwhile, Tanya’s extensive experience as an interior designer is also a huge asset to InHaus.

“Russell and I do most of the designing together with architect Hugh Grant – we work well together," says Tanya, "We try to

create homes which are a little bit unique, are stylishly designed, using good quality materials.” Over the years InHaus has gone from strength to strength, which Russell partly attributes to its focus on quality over quantity, and on only delivering the best workmanship possible. “We’d rather do only five or six homes a year to a high standard.”

If you are looking to build your dream home, InHaus build everything from modest economical houses to luxury holiday homes, and has a great line up of consented, ready-to-go Home and Land packages.

To view the beautiful new Kakano Lane subdivision, Inhaus is holding Open Days on October 13th and 14th (1-4pm). Kakano Lane is located off Daelyn Drive, Richmond. To find out more about InHaus design and build options, visit www.inhaus.co.nz Russell and Tanya would especially like to thank Davis Ogilvie and CJ Industries for their topquality work in helping create this unique subdivision.

The Ray White Nelson team is celebrating the relocation of its offices to 38 Buxton Square! “We were previously located above the camera shop on Trafalgar Street, but here our profile is much stronger with a lot more window space and an abundance of parking,” says co-owner Grant Chaney. “We are really proud of our upmarket new premises; it’s light, bright and open, which is exactly the feeling we want to engender about Ray White Nelson.

It’s also really accessible and is in a prime central location next to the post office and Farmers.

They keep us in check, because whenever we sell a property, the home buyer completes a survey about us; they rank us out of 10 in various areas; so as a team we do as much as we can to achieve a 10 out 10 service for our clients

Promoting mental well-being was the aim of the annual Sunrise Walk for Wellbeing yesterday.

More than 300 people arrived at the Nelson Golf Club to walk the 6km track around the Nelson Airport at 6am yesterday morning, in support of mental health.

One of the six organisers, Peter DeJong, says it’s a great way to kick off mental health awareness week and more importantly a chance for mental illness to be talked about openly.

"It’s good to have a Nelson activity to bring it to attention, it’s also an opportunity to reflect on mental illness and to destigmatise and normalise it.

It’s important to show that people can share and talk about it."Really, it’s just another illness, there’s all sorts of illnesses so why should mental illness be any different? It’s about making people more accepting."

Local musician Bryce Wastney played to the walkers as they arrived back at the Golf Club at sunrise and says the walk is a great event to get conversations going about mental health.

"People accept all other illnesses, sore backs and stuff like that, mental health shouldn’t be any different.

"You can’t see what’s going on in someone’s head and what people are dealing with, there’s a lot of stories out there.”

Mental health youth advocate Zoe Palmer addressed the crowd and shared her journey with mental illness and spread the same message: why is it treated any different to any other illness?

"People don’t like to talk about mental health, but when we go to a GP and are asked ‘what’s wrong’ we never say ‘nothing’ or ‘I don’t know’.

"Mental illness doesn’t condemn you, much in the same way as tonsillitis isn’t a life-long illness, you can have a bout of depression and that’s ok.”

She also touched on what we have been conditioned to believe is ‘self-care’.

"In a shop the self-care section always contains face-masks, scrubs, chocolates and movies, but none of that stuff makes me feel better when I’m down, I love to swim in the ocean.

"We should all remember that we all have different things that make us feel better but the most important thing for people supporting others with mental health is to include them.”

Masters games retired Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

An annual showcase for our ageing athletes has been retired.

After four years of competition, the much-loved South Island Masters will no longer run in Nelson.

Sport Tasman has decided to discontinue its support of the games which were held biannually in Timaru and Nelson.

CEO Nigel Muir says it was an incredibly difficult decision to make.

“We love the games, it is a magnificent event but at the end of the day we just weren’t getting the numbers and it wasn’t sustainable."

During the four events staged in Nelson, Nigel says numbers have been steadily declining from about 2400 at the inaugural games to 1800 at the most recent.

Sport Tasman worked closely with the late Colin Aitken [a former councillor and driver of Saxton Field] to originally bring the games to Nelson.

“We wanted a big event that would help showcase Saxton Field and Nelson, the Nelson City

Council and New Zealand Community Trust were major partners with Sport Tasman from the get go.”

Nigel says the games have been a significant success for the Nelson region bringing in thousands of visitors and millions of dollars of economic benefit over the past decade.

“We have over the years tried lots of new formats to keep the Games

fresh, but it unfortunately got to the point where it was uneconomic for Sport Tasman to keep running the event and hence our decision to let the games go.”

He says Sport Tasman is hugely appreciative of the many partners, volunteers and participants who supported the games over the years.

"It’s been an incredible journey and so much fun over the years to

be part of.”

However, Sport Tasman are looking at alternatives to fill the void for older athletes.

“We currently have a number of "irons in the fire" as replacement concepts for the games. Watch this space, we are busy behind the scenes working on a particularly exciting project at the moment that will definitely help get more people, more active."

Triathlon club swing back into action Peter Gibbs www.nzfootball.co.nz

Some of the country's top multisport athletes mixed it with weekend warriors at Sunday's Kayak HQ Multisport Triathlon, organised by the Nelson Triathlon Club at Greenslade Park on the inlet at Rabbit Island.

Cameron Jones led the way on the run to the kayaks, but once on the water Dan Busch took the lead on the 8km paddle over a two-loop course up the Waimea River.

Jones clawed back some of the deficit on the 17km road bike course, but Busch held on, increasing his lead slightly over the 3.4km run to win by five minutes.

Frances Riley was quickest in the women's field.

In the meantime, non-paddlers fought out a run-bike-run duathlon.

Newcomer Pete Marshall was fast out of the blocks over the opening 3.4km run, but Jon Linyard soon asserted himself, stretching out his lead over the 17km bike and final 3.4km run to win by three minutes from Roydon Hawkes.

Carol Cooper had caught Marshall on the bike ride and the pair went into the final run close together. Fighting hard, Marshall just took third place overall, with Cooper hot on his heels to take the top women's spot.

An enthusiastic throng of competitors also competed over more recreational short events in both multisport and duathlon.

The club now turns its attention to the Port Nelson Swim Series, starting November 8 and the Chia Super Sprint Triathlon on November 18.

Mako hunt home semi Locally Owned and Operated

Peter Jones

A 47-21 victory over Otago under the roof of Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin on Sunday has sent the Tasman Mako back to the top of the Mitre 10 Cup premiership rugby standings and ensured them a place in the NPC semi-finals.

Tasman set up their seventh win of the season with a superb first half display, scoring four tries, all converted by the assured and influential Mitch Hunt, to lead 28-0 at the turnaround.

With their forward pack dominating at both set pieces and the breakdown, the Mako were able to effectively shut the home side, and their supporters out of the contest.

However, a rev-up from the Otago coaching staff, who suggested the home side could either run up the white flag or the Blue and Gold flag after the break, seemed

to have paid dividends when they fought back into the game almost immediately.

Their revival was short-lived though, with Tasman staying in the fight.

Although Otago narrowly won the second spell, the Mako added three more tries.

This included a brace to flying fullback Will Jordan who picked up a hat-trick, to keep the home side at arm’s length.

Mako head coach Leon MacDonald said he was particularly happy with the first half display.

“We played the way we had trained and planned.

“But the second half didn’t really go to plan.

"It’s becoming a bit of a habit that we have to sort out.”

As they did against Wellington in their previous game, the Mako tight five stood up and took control of their areas, setting a solid platform for some potent attack.

Mako fullback Will Jordan's sensational season continued with a hat-trick against Otago in Dunedin on Sunday afternoon. Photo: Barry Whitnall/Shuttersport.

“Our scrum and lineout was outstanding and our mauling was also good … plus some of our finishing was much better than in recent weeks, which has been a work-on for us," MacDonald said.

“Some of our defensive work was also outstanding, our line speed and breakdown intensity especially brought pressure.”

He pinpointed the work of flanker Ethan Blackadder and Jordan for special mention.

“Ethan has played every minute of the campaign and he’s trained every training.

"Then he goes out and plays like he does every week, he’s been a real soldier for us this year and a top leader. Will [Jordan] was also particularly good today.”

MacDonald said having another game so soon would put pressure on their squad, “almost like a Storm Week”.

“It’s a quick turnaround so it’s going to be about regrouping quickly.

"We don’t want to miss an opportunity for a home semi so it is a really important game for us.

“We’ve just got to bottle up that first half and hopefully see more of that from now on,” MacDonald added.

Next Thursday the Mako play Hawke’s Bay in Nelson to complete the round robin phase of the competition.

Premiership standings after week eight: Tasman 38, Canterbury 37, Auckland 36, Wellington 29, North Harbour 29, Counties Manukau 16, Taranaki 13.

NOTE: Auckland have two more games to play, the other teams only one.

U16 REP RUGBY TOURNAMENT: Nelson Bays under 16 player Will Jacka scores for the hosts at Jubilee Park last week. The stars of tomorrow put on some dazzling rugby in Richmond last week.

Nelson Bays had to settle for fourth place at the U16 South Island tournament, going down 38-34 to a spirited Southland side at Jubilee Park on Saturday with Canterbury Metro being crowned champions.

Nelson skipper Taya Brown says while disappointed not to be featuring in the final, his side had a strong representative season.

"I think we played well today, our defence and decision making were good, but we just couldn't hold the ball long enough."

Taya says they were unlucky during their campaign but played some great footy throughout. Photo: Evan Barnes/Shuttersport.

Nelson heading to OCR world stage Sara Hollyman

Nelson endurance athletes are gearing up for the biggest race of their lives as they prepare to hit the world stage later this month.

The New Zealand Black Warriors, a team of six elite athletes, head to London next week to compete in the Obstacle Course Racing World Championship. Three of the six are from Nelson.

Kevin Ford, Caleb Scowen and Tash Knight all qualified through the only gateway event to be held in New Zealand – Wairua Warrior 2018.

They will each compete in different events, with Kevin taking on the 3km, 15km, 7km team event and the 7km charity event.

Kevin says he’s feeling pretty relaxed about it all, even though he’s never competed in anything like this before.

“It’s going to be a lot more intense, the obstacles are bigger, the courses are further, it’s going to be a whole different experience. I never thought I’d ever be able to get there realistically.”

The 6000 competitors from 67 countries will start each course with a wristband, and if they

fail to successfully complete an obstacle their wristband gets cut, which means they are unable to record a registered time.

Essentially, they will not place.

Kevin says his aim is always first and foremost to finish a race.

“Secondly, I try not to be last, but with this one I will be trying to keep my band as well. I just really want to do my best for New Zealand, for Nelson, for my friends and family and for myself.”

Caleb Scowen says it was his sister Tash, the third Nelson team member, who first talked him into doing the Wairua

Challenge in 2016.

“From there I just got the itch I suppose, it’s the personal challenge I guess, and you just get addicted is probably the best word."

He says he’s nervous about competing in London, but also excited.

“I’m feeling a lot more confident than my first Spartan race, but my aim is to finish with a band.”

Kevin is so passionate about the fastest growing sport in the world that he has turned his backyard into his own personal ‘playground’.

His backyard is a

self-built obstacle course that he opens to friends and team members to “come and have a play on” and includes a 14-foot curve wall, swinging climbing walls and various other obstacles.

Kevin says obstacle racing isn’t just for elite athletes.

“Anyone can do it, you don’t even have to be able to walk.

It’s about helping everyone, we are really focussed on that, we give them some inspiration and it doesn’t matter if you fail, it’s about giving it a go,” he says.

Caleb Scowen and Kevin Ford, left, are competing at this year's OCR World Championships. With them are Reid Carnegie and Ben Bolitho, who both competed last year.

New dawn for Nelson boxer

FOOTBALL: Nelson Suburbs has capped its historic season with a first-ever win at the Mainland Premier Awards. Corey Wilson didn’t attend the ceremony thinking he didn’t have a chance at winning but was named men’s goalkeeper of the year at the awards last week.

The Irishman says Suburbs’ 2018 campaign was a memorable one as the side made it all the way to the semi-finals of the country’s most prestigious club tournament.

He rates his match-winning effort against Universities FC in May as his personal highlight.

“Considering I had just come back from Ireland two days earlier, I was still tired and jetlagged so to save the penalty to win the game was pretty awesome.”

While hoping to return for the 2019 season, Corey is yet to confirm his immigration status.

His focus now shifts to the start of the Tasman United national league season which kicks off on October 21.

A Nelson boxer will fight on the undercard of one of her fighting heroes this December.

Dawn ‘the storm’ Chalmers will feature on the undercard for Joseph Parker’s next bout in what will be her New Zealand PPV debut.

“The Southern Showdown” on December 15 will see Dawn, a seven-time New Zealand amateur champion, take on current New Zealand Muay Thai champion, Michaela Jenkins.

Dawn says it will be the biggest fight of her career to date.

“Once it was all locked in I was pretty excited. I’ve fought in two world champs, but this will be my first on New Zealand PPV.” After stepping back into the ring after a four-year hiatus in February, Dawn is relishing the challenge that awaits her.

“It looks like she will be much stronger than the girl I fought at the start of the year.”

RUGBY: The Tasman women’s team were thoroughly outclassed at Lansdowne Park on Saturday in their final match of a testing season. They went down 48-7 to a well-organised Otago side in the Mako’s last match of their Farah Palmer Cup championship campaign. The visitors led 33-0 at halftime and seemed well on track to break the half century of points, before Tasman rallied somewhat in the second 40, scoring a consolation try to lift their spirits and holding their rivals to three unconverted tries. Now it is on to the FPC semi-finals for Otago and back to the drawing board for a brave Tasman side.

A huge Parker fan, Dawn is hoping to meet the former heavyweight champion and is excited to see him revive his career after losing to Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte in 2018.

“It will be great to see him get a win and get back on track.”

Dawn says she has a number of friends and family making the trip south for the fight.

“There are lots of people coming down from Nelson to support me, which will be great, it always makes a

difference.”

She hopes the fight will prove a catalyst for even bigger bouts.

“If we go well then maybe we will look at fighting overseas or further afield.”

Dawn says her conditioning and boxing acumen inside the ring are her strengths.

“Being able to read what my opponent is doing and box smart, technical rather than brute force is my fortay,” she says.

However, when she needs to

knock an opponent out, she does possess a power punch.

“I’ve dropped a few girls with my right.”

Dawn returns to the ring after a stint in MMA where she won all five of her matches.

Despite success in this new arena, Dawn – a qualified physiotherapist – quickly realised how brutal this style of fighting was, sending two opponents to hospital.

“I’d be gutted if I had to tell the Giants' coach I couldn’t look after the team because I have hurt myself.”

Dawn says, as well as Muhammed Ali, she draws inspiration from former world champion across four-weight classes, Roy Jones Jnr. “He is just so technical and fast.”

Former UFC world champion turned WWE world champion, Ronda Rousey, is another idol of Dawn’s.

“She is a real pioneer for female fight sports.”

Dawn has a professional boxing record of 1-0.

Her MMA record reads 5-0 while her amateur boxing record is 40-10.
