Marie Hill’s little boys have never known what home is. Every day she scours the Trade Me property listings, in hope of finding a place to live. The 23-year-old solo mum of two has been looking for a rental property for a year, but has faced constant rejection. For now, Marie and her children, 18-month-old Ashton and five-monthold Braxton, are living at Ma’s Place in Richmond. The emergency accommodation provider has been a stable roof over their heads on and off for the past year, but Marie desperately wants a place to call their own – for the sake of her children. “My toddler doesn’t know

what home is – we are always moving.” Marie says she is restricted to applying for private rentals, as real estate companies “turn her away instantly”. “Because I’m a solo mum on a benefit. They also want references, but I’m only 23 and don’t have any. It’s a battle.” The lack of listings and price hikes are also a problem. Marie is prepared to pay up to $400 a week in rent in Nelson, Richmond or Motueka. But there have only been around 15 private rentals in her price range since she’s been looking.

We say: Why we are focusing on good homes for all Charles Anderson Journalist

charles@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Safe and sound. It doesn’t seem like too much to ask.

It’s what every parent wants for their child - to have a place they can call home, where they can relax and settle into their formative years without fear of being cold, damp and unsettled.

Myriad research shows that having a warm and secure home impacts on every facet of a child’s life. But many take that for granted and might think that our region is immune to these

challenges. Forget about families trying to get on the property ladder – many are more worried about just finding somewhere not plagued by cold and dampness. Health outcomes, educa-

tional outcomes, and life outcomes - they can all be traced back to having a stable living condition in a warm home.

“It sounds like a reasonable idea to me. There are not many places like that in Nelson. Pedestrians would have the view up to the cathedral.”

“I think it’s a really good idea. It would be lovely, and create a nice feel in the summer.”

“I can see the positives and negatives to it, but I’d be for it being traffic-free in the summer time, especially with all the buskers around there.”

“I think it’s a really good idea, especially for the businesses around there. It would create a little hub. They have to do it right though.”

“As soon as they come up I apply, but they all get snatched up so quickly and the rents are getting higher all the time. “It’s a fighting battle as a solo parent; I’m always thinking ‘can I afford it?’ “Some days I think ‘why do I bother? Do I keep trying and go through that again?’” The Trade Me Rental Index shows that Nelson was the only region in the country to hit a record high in June - $400 a week, up more than eight per cent on the previous year. This is one of the highest increases in the country and means tenants will be set to pay an extra $1500 more in rent each year. Since Carol Marshall and her

husband Paul opened Ma’s Place last February they have had 12 parents and 15 children through their home, with families coming to them every week with nowhere to go. “There certainly is a housing crisis here in Nelson, and we deal with it at the coal face here, and know that it’s not just hype,” says Carol. “Finding a rental is hard for anyone right now, even if they fit all the criteria. “This means that young families renting for the first time have a very slim chance of renting a warm, suitable home and starting out on the

right foot.” Carol says that even Franklyn Village has a waiting list for families now, with some living in motels, or resorting to living with other families in cramped quarters. “This shortage is affecting the most vulnerable in our communities, and its long-term effects are very concerning.” Meanwhile, Marie will keep trying, in hope that one day someone will give her and her boys a chance at securing a home. A year is long enough for them. She says Ashton and Braxton deserve to know what a home is and deserve a decent start at life. “It feel like it’s try after try – but hopefully one day someone will say, ‘we’ll give that person a chance’.”

We say... FROM PAGE 1 So, over the next several weeks we will explore these issues and meet those who experience them every day. You will learn what it is like to try and raise a family in a sub-standard housing, about the struggle to find a home and what happens when you slip through the gaps. We also want to hear from you. We want to know about the issues you have faced in trying to find good accommodation in the region with rentals creeping ever upwards and too many homes with serious quality issues. But we will also speak to those locals working on solutions and what, with an election fast approaching, our candidates think needs to be done. Because if there’s one thing that we should agree on is that every child deserves a decent start in life, no matter their background. They all deserve to be safe and sound.

Caleb Harcus has transformed the home into a bright beacon on Rocks Rd. Photo: Charles Anderson

Always arrive home to total comfort. HIGH WALL | DUCTED | CEILING | FLOOR MOUNTED Free consultations

Rocks Rd’s red house is complete Charles Anderson Caleb Harcus has no doubt that his little red house saved his life. For more than a year the house on Rocks Rd has been a staple talking-point for passers-by. First it was transformed into a bright red home with white trim. Then its garage was completely refurbished and painted white with red trim. Finally the little red house is up for rent. “The house filled a hole in my life,” says Caleb. He is tetraplegic after he was hit by a truck in Australia six years ago. It is the government pay-out from that accident that paid for the house. “I was lost. I didn’t know what to do with myself. I was always in practical jobs.”

more adjustments to make it suitable for him. So instead, he hopes someone will rent the home and give it the love it deserves. “It doesn’t have to compete with the big flash houses. It is like old New Zealand – the way it used to be.” He gives credit to his builder Harold whose painstaking work is evident from the home’s immaculate condition. The two-bedroom home is fully insulated with a heat pump, but Caleb warns that it doesn’t get much morning sun and cellphone reception is patchy. Rent is between $400 and $420 a week. Two large boulders now sit in front of the house and a ship’s figurehead will eventually go on the front of the garage. Then Caleb’s little red house will finally be complete.

Now, he is confined to a wheelchair and often to his bed when he suffers from sores associated with his condition. Sometimes he could not leave the house for weeks and heard about updates on the Rocks Rd home from his builder. “I survived on photos,” Caleb says. He says the house gave him something to occupy his mind and his time. And it has taken some time. “I’m a perfectionist,” he says. However, there was the potential for a roadblock when he discovered that the garage actually sits on land owned by NZTA. So, he had to lease it off the Government. Luckily, they said they would only charge him $1 a year. The dream was always for Caleb to live in the house but the reality was it would need many

A group of Tahunanui shop owners are calling on Nelson City Council to start including outlying suburbs in its hanging basket programme. Earlier this month Nelson Weekly reported that local retailers wanted more stores in the CBD to get on board the programme. But others think it shouldn’t be restricted to just the city centre. Bruce Maxfield and Roy Gray, owners of The Sands Fish and Chip shop in Tahunanui, read the article and thought they’d like the strip of eight shops on the Rocks Road/Bisley Avenue intersection to join in too. “After reading the article I asked everybody along here what they thought of the idea of having hanging baskets and they all agreed it would look great, and would be happy to pay the fee,” Bruce says. After phoning the council, Bruce received an email back saying he would need to “forward a request in

writing”. He says he feels frustrated with their response. “I feel that council put all their energy into the CBD and forget outlying areas. “Why one part of town and not the other?” Roy adds that they have “done their bit” by spending around $3.5k beautifying the outside of their shop. He says the area in question is on council land, not state highway. Nelson City Council communications manager Paul Shattock told Nelson Weekly that “their focus at the moment is on enhancing the hanging basket display in the CBD, but other areas may be considered for future seasons”. The council also says the area they count as the CBD in terms of baskets is between Collingwood Street and Rutherford Street, Selwyn Place and Halifax Street. Last summer, 75 businesses in the CBD took part in the hanging basket programme, which is now in its 17th year and costs council about $80,000 per year.

Ron sees the full care of the hospice

Journalist

charles@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Ron Smith knows the value of Nelson Tasman Hospice all too well. The 86-year-old has been a volunteer - helping to deliver beds to patients in their own homes. “I was talked into it by a friend of mine,” Ron says. “Originally we were called the ‘bed men’ but I christened us the ‘bedologists’. I quite liked that.” He says the job saw all manner of people welcome him into their lives at their most vulnerable. “I think it gave them a bit of peace of mind.” Ron says he was nervous initially but soon found that he knew many of the people he was delivering beds to. At first he thought it might not be a good idea but realised that it was beneficial to those he was helping to know there was someone familiar around them. “I used to spend a little extra time with them to just talk.” Ron did the job for about eight years until his eyesight started to fail him. But more

your questions

My partner and I constantly fight about money. It is so stressful! What can I do? If both are willing, it is possible to have calm and healthy discussions about money. Understanding each other’s point of view is a good starting point

 Discuss each other’s beliefs about money: - What did your parents teach you? - What are your financial goals? - What are your fears about money?  Be a team: - Agree on a spending plan - Make time to sit together and organise bill paying etc. - Work together to achieve your shared goals  Seek support: - An objective mentor can help you with money planning and debt management. - A good relationship therapist can help you to break unhealthy habits and improve communication.  Is money tight? What are skills or assets can you use to increase your income?  ‘Not now’ doesn’t mean ‘never’. Your current circumstances are just that. There is always a way forward; it may not be easy or instant. Remember, if you keep doing the same thing, you will keep getting the same result. Is that what you want?

Need more helP?

recently he has seen the work that hospice nurses do, up close. His wife Jill died in December and she was visited by nurses once a week to check on how she was doing. Now, Ron himself has also been diagnosed with terminal cancer. “It’s put me at the other end

of the scale, on the receiving end,” he says. And he is grateful for the help he gets. “Their work is hidden until you need their help.” Nelson Tasman Hospice is embarking on its most ambitious project in its 30year history - a new $11.5 million hospice at Suffolk

Rd It is due to be completed by the end of 2018 but is fundraising to help reach that goal. Ron hopes the new project to have the hospice under one roof will ensure that people like himself continue to have its support. To donate visit www.nelsonhospice.org.nz/ donate.

After three years at Saxton Stadium, Art Expo Nelson is returning home to the Trafalgar Centre this weekend. Now in its sixth year, the annual three-day art event will showcase over 1000 artworks by more than 100 artists from all over New Zealand. Event manager Nic Foster thinks visitors to the show will be impressed with the newlook venue. "We were grateful to have somewhere to go while the Trafalgar Centre was closed for the earthquake strengthening, but now we’re stoked to be back. "The Trafalgar Centre is look-

ing amazing and we just can’t wait until Art Expo Nelson kicks off on Friday." Just like previous years, Nic says they expect to see lots of people in over the weekend, having a relaxed wander, buying art, meeting the artists and just enjoying the atmosphere. Second time round Nelson artist Scott Combes will be there, taking a break from his Tahunanui tattoo studio to sell some of his airbrushed artwork. Scott has been a tattoo artist for more than 20 years, and starting painting ten years ago. He has now built up a collection of around 500 paintings, not to mention painting prosthetic legs, helmets, and his car with "faces and weird stuff ".

"It’s taken a while to develop my style, but I think I’m a better artist than a tattoo artist. "I like painting pictures that tell a story. I don’t like to be like everyone else, although I appreciate what other artists do." He says the expo is a good way to showcase his work. "There’s always a market out there," he says. The event has received sponsorship funding this year from the Nelson Events Marketing and Development Programme, which is funded by the Nelson City Council. Art Expo Nelson will be held at the Trafalgar Centre from Friday 18 August – Sunday 20 August, from 10am. Entry is $5 for adults, children under 15 free.

Rallying support for Cancer Society Simon Bloomberg Reporter

simon@waimeaweekly.co.nz

The Nelson Vintage Car Club will be joining their car-crazy colleagues around New Zealand on Sunday, August 27 in a nationwide vintage car rally to raise funds for the Cancer Society. And everyone else with a car is invited to the Daffodil Rally for Cancer with Nelson Vintage Car Club chairman Jim Wareing saying “come and join us, it doesn’t matter what kind of car you drive”.

The rally is being held as part of the Cancer Society’s annual Daffodil Day fund-raiser and Jim hopes that owners of all makes, model and vintages of cars come along to support “a great cause". “The club’s members will be supporting it and we’ve invited all the members from the other 27 car clubs around Nelson to come along, too,” Jim says. “But we would like anyone with a car to join in and, if they do, we could get two or three hundred cars which would be great.” Jim says the rally will start at their clubrooms in the Speedway Association grounds on Lower

Queen St, at 1pm. Drivers will choose either a long 85km or shorter 55km rally route through outlying towns before finishing at the QuayConnect on Vickerman St in Port Nelson. There will be a public display of the cars and an option to bring your own afternoon tea. Entry is $10 for each car with all proceeds from the rally going to work that the Nelson Cancer Society does in the community. Public admission to the display is by a gold coin donation. If you want more information about the event, go to the website vcc.org.nz.

Hospital buggy service needs help Simon Bloomberg

The Nelson Hospital buggy service needs your support with a shortage of drivers and a run of expensive repairs putting pressure on the volunteers who operate the buggy. The hospital started the service in 2006 to help patients who were struggling to walk from the car park up the steep hill to the hospital’s main entrance way. Now the service is funded by the Rotary Club of North West Nelson and operat-

ed by volunteer drivers who say they need help to keep it running smoothly. “We’ve spent $4700 on maintenance in the last year,” Rotary club committee member Russell Egan says. “We had to buy seven new batteries at $375 each and pay $1300 to repair the motor after it blew up. “And now we need four new tyres by Christmas so that’s another $800. It’s carried 4292 passengers so far this year, so it costs a bit to keep going.” Cathy Cuthbert, who coordinates the drivers, says they also need more volunteers. “We’ve got about 20 drivers at present but always need more,” Cathy says. “They do about four hours a fortnight when we have a full roster, so it’s not too big a commitment.” Cathy says people can apply to be volunteer drivers at the hospital reception but will need to be vetted before they are accepted. In addition to being good drivers, Cathy says the volunteers must be good listeners and empathetic. “It’s a bigger job that just driving passengers around,” Cathy says. “You might have to pick up someone from out of town who’s come to visit a family member who’s in intensive care, so you have to have lots of compassion.” Russell says volunteer drivers also need to know when to put the pedal to the metal. “I picked a woman who was in labour once and she was so close I thought I was going to have to deliver the baby. I’ve never driven so fast in my life.” The hospital buggy service runs Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 4.30pm.

Makos fans get up close for fun day Brittany Spencer The Tasman Makos Family Fun Day was a chance for fans to meet their heroes and Nelson certainly made the most of it. About 700 supporters watched this season’s squad train before getting the chance to meet, get signatures from, and battle their heroes in a gigantic game of tug-o-war. Among the masses was eight-yearold Jenna Ross, with her signed rugby ball and a grin that lasted all day. Having just started playing tackle for the Waimea Old Boys under 8 Makos, Jenna’s dad Richard said she’s obsessed and jumped at the chance to meet the big boys. “She really loved interacting with all the players and getting their autographs and she’s a big James Lowe fan so she was wrapped to see him,” said Richard. Jenna has been playing rugby for three years after following her big brother into the sport and says she is keen to play for the Black Ferns. “She loves rugby, she’s always right into the scrum somewhere and she’s not afraid to get in there and

War graves decision ‘all about cost’ Charles Anderson The decision to exclude Commonwealth veterans from getting military plaques on their gravesites was the result of bureaucracy gone wrong, according to a government department insider. For months, the Weekly has been trying to get a straight answer from the Government as to why the decision was made to remove eligibility of Commonwealth veterans for military plaques on their gravesites. The move left Nelson war hero John Beeching without a plaque and having to rely on local fundraising to make sure

he is recognised when he dies. It also came as a surprise to Christine Paris, the daughter of war vet Grace Lane, who was born in England and served during WW2 but lived in Nelson for more than 60 years. Until now it has been unclear why the decision was made, however, now a former member of the Veteran Affairs team has spoken out about what he saw under his watch. “It was a unilateral decision by Veterans Affairs bureaucrats to interpret the law in a certain way,” he says. “It saddens me - these veterans have had their eligibility ripped from underneath them.”

The insider says the Burial and Cremations Act dictates that all people who had been on operations as part of “her Majesty’s Forces” would be eligible for Government-funded burials. However, bureaucrats not only interpreted that to mean “armed forces”. “But [the law] is quite silent on the nationality of those forces,” the insider says. The insider says by wiping the eligibility of Commonwealth veterans, it amounts to “penny-pinching”. The legislation is currently under review with a result expected towards the end of the year.

Opinion

TUESDAY 15 August 2017

Vigilance needed over increased dog attacks: Those who have dogs need to step up. Keep them under control - if you can't recall your dog then keep them on a lead. Keep them contained in your yard/ garden so they can't escape. Be responsible when you take them out. You don't need to be Einstein to work out the ways to limit these incidences. Alison Holmes. Very hard with a rescue though. But people need to learn whether or not they can trust their dog and take it from there. I live in Atawhai and am a bit nervous of the dog that hasn't been found for the pure fact that I have a dog and I don't want him getting hurt. Aimee Wadsworth. I agree with being a responsible owner but parents need to teach children they can't go running up to strange dogs...or let kids climb over them or pull tails etc. Fiona Pitcaithly. My dog was bailed up near where that photo was taken, by a Doberman called Satchi. The

owner was miles away while I was running my dog around in circles trying to escape her dog's mouth! Pip Collins. Unfortunately, there are too many irresponsible dog owners. Went for a walk on the boulder bank in Glen and the sign says "dog on lead" + another note talking about protecting penguins etc. There were at least 7 dogs with owners, not a single one on a lead. In the CBD the number of dogs is increasing, so do dog faeces and urine stains, absolutely disgusting. Peter Paul Fierek. Time for compulsory dog training, more for the owners!! The owners fault, not the dogs! Courtney Byrne. Grover in The Wood to be revived as café: I love seeing buildings [and vehicles] being restored rather than demolished. Russell Pocock. I used to go into that shop when I was younger, when it was a grocery shop. Wendy Caldwell.

editorial@nelsonweekly.co.nz facebook.com/nelsonweekly www.nelsonweekly.co.nz

It was our corner store, since we all were little kids, I even worked there for Norm Andrews for a while. Great memories. Josephine Romano. There are two yearround cafes and a third summer cafe in The Wood already, only 5min walk from this place. Raewyn Shand. This was Palamountain's, our grocer in the 1950s. Ruth Densem. Beautiful old building. Teressa Marie. We will pop in for a coffee next time we are in Nelson. Trudy Keys. Local firefighters to battle Canadian blaze: Hope they all get home safely, wonderful thing they are doing. Av Nettleton. Didn't realise the fires were still burning. Our boys from Australia went about 5 weeks ago to help. Dianne Saad.

Great contribution to the firefighting battle, stay safe guys & safe travels. Philip Steans. They are still burning with many people evacuated from their homes. Many people will be very grateful for your help. Cathy Waddle. As a Kiwi with my home in BC, Canada, thanks men. It is appreciated. Russell Poulston. Stay safe, gentlemen. We, the people of Canada, thank you so very much. Linda Halsey. Vern the master tipper wins again: That's a blast from the past, Vern. Seem to remember you telling me I had hole-in-the-racquet syndrome!! Jenny Holdaway. At least someone in his family has rugby knowledge. Matthew Allsopp. Great to see you again, Vern, we still live in the UK. Christine Rose Ashdown.

INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS TO INDUSTRY

A career with Brightwater Engineering For many there’s more to a job than simply being a means to bring home the bacon. If you enjoy what you do your job feels a little less like work, and if you aspire for personal growth it’s important to find a workplace that will readily help you rise through the ranks. Brightwater Engineers Ltd is a company that is pretty well-known throughout the Top of the South and beyond. It has gone through a lot of change over the last decade, however, it is focused on “getting back to its knitting”, and as a result it provides a really strong and secure employment offer to relevant trades people with the right work ethic and attitude. One of Brightwater’s core capabilities is its fabrication and industrial maintenance services. In order for this offering to function effectively, it relies on a bunch of skilled trades people who are keen on doing a quality job while keeping each other safe every day.

The guys take real pride in the work they’ve completed - often large steel structures which are highly visible to the public. Combining the potential for a good income with the variety of secured work on offer, it’s not difficult to see why many former employees like Tom Woolf and Mike Carmody (pictured) have returned to Brightwater Engineers. With a solid pipeline of work and secure long-term employment on offer for suitably skilled tradespeople, Brightwater Engineers would welcome a confidential chat with anyone looking for a change in employer and who can enhance the company’s heavy fabrication, industrial maintenance and industrial electrical installation offerings. Apprenticeships are also offered to people who can balance a solid practical aptitude with a professional attitude and desire to learn.

A leader in quality engineering solutions “I started working for Brightwater Engineering after school, then I went and did my apprenticeship as a maintenance diagnostics engineer. After completing my apprenticeship I spent time in the Gas Industry in Western Australia, and have returned since to complete roles in the Projects side of the business. I’ve been working within the sales team since January this year. In total, I have been with Brightwater for over ten years now. As well as the great bunch of people here, I came back to Brightwater Engineering because of the opportunities they offer to develop. You can do anything you want within the company when it comes to your own personal growth, it’s up to you and, as employers, they get the right people for the right role. While we’re currently working on expanding our electrical capabilities, Brightwaters Engineering’s mechanical side offers a great start for young people wanting to learn a trade, which can end up taking them around the world.” - Mike Carmody, Technical Sales Engineer at Brightwater Engineering “Before coming to Brightwater Engineering I was branch manager for a courier company. Before that I had worked in the hospitality industry so I didn’t have any background in steel work/fabrication. I’m now a production engineer at Brightwater Engineering, I started eight years ago as a trade assistant and did my adult apprenticeship. I was really green, I’d never cut a piece of steel, drilled a hole or anything, so I’ve learnt a hell of a lot. The fact they offer adult apprenticeships is great and we’ve had a lot of guys come through here as older apprentices. There’s also good pathways through into management and there’s a huge variety of work on offer for the trades team.” - Sean McGettigan, Production Engineer at Brightwater Engineering

For more information on Brightwater Engineers Ltd employment and apprenticeship opportunities, don’t hesitate to contact: Rachel McMurtry (People and Safety Advisor) today on 543 5300 or email her at rachel@brightwater.co.nz

“I’ve been with Brightwater for 14 years and currently work as sales account manager. I was doing my engineering pre-trade course at polytech when Brightwater took me on for the chance to gain work experience. Then they ended up taking me on as a full time heavy fabricator apprentice. I did my time there, became a tradesman and two years ago I became the sales representative for the workshop. Brightwater is very good at helping people better themselves, so if they see potential in someone, they’re happy to spend the money to upskill them, especially when it comes to trades staff. It’s hard to find trades staff, so to pull me out of an area where they needed me and put me into the position I’m in now, it shows you that they are keen to help employees develop. If you’re wanting to do engineering, we do everything from small backyard jobs to full on projects, so there’s a whole diverse range of engineering that gives you quite a bit of experience.” - Jamie Evans, Sales Account Manager, Brightwater Engineering “I came to Brightwater Engineering straight from school and started as an apprentice. As educators, they ensure you learn all the skills to be a safe and accomplished member of the team, and as employers they really look after the guys. After six and a half years working for Brightwater Engineering, I left for two years before coming back in February this year. It’s generally just a great place to work, a good bunch of guys and you get a wide variety of projects to work on, not to mention opportunities to work off-site if you want to earn some extra money.” - Tom Woolf, Heavy Fabricator at Brightwater Engineering

Phil and Megan Wright are proud to be bringing people a whole new level of trampolining fun in Nelson. Trampolines, they’re essential for any kiwi backyard and have provided children and adults alike with hours of entertainment. However, Phil and Megan Wright are proud to be taking trampolining to a whole new level with their new business, Flip Out Trampoline Arena Nelson. They’ve been open for the last eight weeks, after putting 14 months’ worth of planning

into the venture, and have been flooded with excited locals since the doors opened. “We decided to join with Flip Out because they had a really good international name and safety culture. The trampolines do not come from China, Flip Out manufactures the trampolines in their own factory in Europe, to a high European standard. The Olympic quality mats that some of the trampolines have give a much better

spring which makes it a really awesome experience,” says Phil. “Plus, it’s a great way for kids to come and get some exercise, without realising they’re exercising,” says Megan. The arena offers multiple trampolining opportunities from the under eights area, offering the little ones a safe play space all of their own, through to the tricks area where enthusiastic trampolinists can perfect their stunts and a Parkour area that is

The perfect destination for indoor entertainment Flip Out Trampoline Arena Nelson is fun for all the family. Young or old, full-time flipper or bouncing beginner, we have trampoline activities for you, your family and your friends.

Flip Out even offers regular trampolining classes, including the Little Ninjas programme for those aged five to 13 and the Teen Tricks class for those looking to take their stunts to the next level. In the future, Phil and Megan will also develop an adult agility programme and adult fitness class. The pair are also proud to have an awesome staff behind them including Jacob Barker, who has represented New Zealand in Parkour and Free Running, as well as cheerleading, Sarah Reiher who has been Australasia’s number one trampolinist and Dallas Bowden, a former trampolinist and gymnast.

Flip Out Trampoline Arena Nelson welcomes families, school groups, home school groups and youth groups to name a few, as well as catering to birthday parties. “We offer people a one-and-a-half-hour package for birthday parties, so kids can have an hour of fun on the trampolines before heading upstairs to the party room where they can enjoy food, drink and presents,” says Phil. “The best thing is we’ll do all the tidying up.” Flip Out’s birthday package is just $18, while their one-hour pass is $15 and two-hour pass just $25. However, they have some great specials on their other entry options at the mo-

ment. For example, their all-day pass was $40, now just $25, allowing you to come and go as many times as you wish during that day. Flip Out’s annual pass has also been halved for a short time only to just $750 meaning you can head there anytime, all year round, while their Flippin’ Coffee pass, for parent and pre-schooler, is a great way for mum and bub to spend time in a fun environment. “This is a big focus for us, we want to be a place where mums can come and have a bounce with their little ones, or grab a cup of barista coffee and relax while their kids play in a safe environment,” says Phil. As well as their great discounts on entry passes, Flip Out, together with Proper Crisps, are offering people the chance to win a delicious prize. Simply buy a bag of Proper Crisps when you visit the trampoline arena and you’ll go in the draw to win six big bags of your chosen flavours. The draw will take place at the end of the month. For plenty of indoor trampoline action, head to Flip Out Trampoline Arena Nelson today.

Top of Trafalgar St to be traffic-free The top of Trafalgar St could soon be only open to pedestrians as part of a plan to make the city more appealing. The Nelson City Council discussed the plan for a four-month trial of the idea at Thursday's full meeting. It is set to run from December 1 to March 31, 2018, and estimated to cost between $36,000-$72,000. This includes between $4500 to $7000 to subsidise businesses for the extension of a liquor license. Councillors and businesses were in broad support of the idea which has been floated several times over the years, but without success.

However, councillor Ian Barker wondered why the council should subsidise businesses. Councillor Mike Rutledge said businesses should "do their own thing". Council executive officer Michelle Joubert said it was needed to encourage businesses to take part: "This is the carrot, I suppose, but we do need some guidance." Councillor Matt Lawrey said the council would recoup those costs very quickly if the trial was successful. There are 14 parking spaces, including disabled parking spaces, in the area proposed for closure.

#FinZ Up The mighty Makos, the pride of Nelson, Marlborough and Tasman, are a team that has overcome the odds to become respected throughout the country.

The Tasman Rugby Union was formed in 2005 to allow the region the opportunity to field a team in the premier 2006 national provincial competition. The resulting team, the

Tasman Makos, has since risen through the ranks of provincial rugby, showing the opposition that while it may be part of the country’s smallest rugby union, it shares a lot of traits with its mascot and namesake. The Mako shark has long been admired for its legendary tenacity and willingness to fight to the last, as well as its speed, strength and agility. In 2013 the Tasman Makos won the ITM Championship Cup against Hawkes Bay, promoting them to the ITM Premiership Division where they continued to succeed. In 2014, they made it all the way through to the final, going down in a thriller match against Taranaki. For the 2015 season the Makos had hopes of going one better than cup runners-up, but were knocked out by Auckland in the semi-final, then in 2016, for the second time in three years, the Tasman Makos went all the way to the premiership final, losing to Canterbury in a gallant effort. Now, with the 2017 season set to kick off for them this Friday, the Tasman Makos’ coaches and management have named a squad of 28 players to contest the Mitre 10 Cup Premiership. “The squad is looking particularly good, there’s a lot of experience from returning players and a handful of fresh new players who will bring en-

thusiasm,” says Tasman Rugby Union Commercial and Marketing manager, Les Edwards. “Having been there before will stand them in good stead, they know what it’s like to go through the pain of losing a couple of finals and they won’t want to do that again.” Hooker Andrew Makalio is joined by Ti’i Paulo, along with

Finlay Christie and Billy Guyton have been named as half backs, Mitchell Hunt and Tim O’Malley as first-fives and David Havili, Trael Joass, Levi Aumua and Alex Nankivell will fill the mid-field backs. Completing the 2017 team are outside backs, Tima Faingaanuku, Viliami Lolohea, Will Jordan and James Lowe.

The team features two All Blacks, back rower Liam Squire and prop Kane Hames, three under 20 representatives, prop Ryan Coxon, winger Tima Faingaanuku and fullback Will Jordan and New Zealand Sevens back Trael Joass, as well as former Makos, hooker Ti’i Paulo (2006) and flanker Jordan Taufua (2012), who will

The team will be coached by Leon MacDonald with assistance from Leo Crowley, Andrew Goodman and Greg Somerville, with Martyn Vercoe as team manager. With three pre-season wins already under their belt, confidence in the Makos to go all the way this season is high. “We’re happy with where we are at the moment,” says assistant coach Leo Crowley. “The first two weeks are just basically integrating the club-based players with the Super Rugby guys and we’ll go from there. We’re very keen to start well, obviously we’re playing our neighbours so there’s a bit of hype around that, so we’ll be ready come Friday.” Makos fans can also get excited about the draw which

will see games against Canterbury, Southland and Auckland played at home in Nelson, while Wellington and North Harbour will be hosted at Lansdowne Park, the Makos’ Blenheim venue. This year each home game will also be supporting a different charity including Cancer Society, Helicopter Rescue and Women’s Refuge, plus, the Pic’s Peanut Butter picnic area will be another entertainment for fans during the Auckland match. For people looking to make the most of the 2017 season, The Rock Makos Supporters Club is a great way to meet fellow fans and the players. Pre- and postmatch functions will be held at Turf Hotel for the Canterbury match, while the Marist clubrooms will be hosting these functions for the Southland and Auckland games. The aim

of the club is to bring back the traditional after-match function to provincial rugby, however, the club also offers other great benefits including discounted tickets to each Makos home game, prime east stand seating, 10 per cent off Makos apparel at Stirling Sports in Nelson and Richmond, entry into the Makos Supporters Club competition, drawn at the post-match function, plus much more. Tickets to all five home games are on sale now so head online to the Makos website at www. makos.co.nz to grab your tickets today, or purchase them at the usual outlets. With their past successes buoying them on and with your support, 2017 could be the year the Tasman Makos take home the silverware. Finz up, for the mighty Makos.

Recognised for helping vulnerable children Judene Edgar judene@waimeaweekly.co.nz

When Willow Duffy moved to New Zealand six years ago she only knew three people. But today, despite describing herself as “just a nurse from Hull”, she heads the Safeguarding Children Initiative (SCI) that provides training for people to identify and protect children who may be being neglected or abused. The Nelsonian has been named as a finalist in the prestigious NZ Women of Influence awards, that recognise and celebrate women from all walks of life. “I never expected to become a finalist,” Willow says. “It’s incredibly humbling and mind-blowing.” Nominee and co-founder Annette Milligan says: “[Willow’s] personality, her absolute tenacious and unwavering passion for saving children runs through everything she does.” A registered nurse and midwife, Willow received a “baptism of fire” working on the frontline with families with children under five years of age. But instead of “helping them to thrive”, she found abuse and neglect. She also noted an inability of frontline

Working in New Zealand, Willow found many of the same problems as she’d encountered in the UK. “Initially it was just going to be a oneoff seminar,” she says.

But five years later Safeguarding Children has trained more than 7000 people. Willow and Annette co-founded SCI along with former clinical leader of Plunket Kate Bolton and Detective Neil Kitchen. But nurse and women’s health advocate Annette says that it’s all thanks to Willow that the Nelson-based charity is making a national impact. “Her knowledge base is quite extraordinary,” Annette says. She has the brains, capacity, courage and passion to convert that knowledge into something that makes a difference nationwide.” The organisation has also just won an award for its child protection e-learning platform at the inaugural New Zealand Charities Technology Awards. However, they receive no government funding, and their work is funded entirely through donations and grants from organisations such as the Rata Foundation, who Willow says has been incredibly supportive. For more information or to support their work, go to safeguardingchildren. org.nz. Winners of the Women of Influence awards will be announced on September 7 in Auckland.

New orienteering course opens at Nelson Lakes Simon Bloomberg Reporter

simon@waimeaweekly.co.nz

A permanent orienteering course is the latest sporting attraction in Nelson Lakes National Park after the joint project between the Nelson Orienteering Club and the Department of Conservation was officially opened at the weekend. The course was adapted by Lindsay Smith from a map used in the national orienteering champs held in St Arnaud last year. It is believed to be the first permanent orienteering course in a national park and Lindsay says he’d like to see more courses set up in other parks around the country. “We already have a few permanent courses around Nelson and one in Kaiteriteri and they are quite popular, so why not have them in national parks,” Lindsay says. “The staff at the DOC

centre in St Arnaud tell me that people are always coming in and asking, ‘what can we do here?’ so this just adds to the other attractions that are already there.” Lindsay says the St Arnaud map used at last year’s nationals has been simplified for the permanent course so that it is suitable for children and novice orienteers. However, the course is still proving popular with experienced orienteers who are using it for training. DOC’s Tracey Grose says they are “very excited” to support the Nelson Orienteering Club’s initiative for a permanent course around the St Arnaud village and lakefront tracks of the park. Copies of the map are available from the Nelson Lakes visitor centre for a small donation. Keanu Joice, left, and Shepherd Joice work out the best route on the Nelson Orienteering Club’s permanent course at St Arnaud at the weekend. Photo: Tracey Grose.

Devon on hockey rollercoaster ride Simon Bloomberg Nelson College student Devon Stove will be putting his field hockey stick aside for a couple of weeks and picking up his in-line skates and stick as he joins the New Zealand junior in-line hockey team for the world champs in China. Devon, 17, has been playing in-line and field hockey since he was at primary school and has been a regular member of national in-line age group teams since he was 12. He was selected for the team to play at the world junior champs after trialling last December and next Tuesday travels to Nanjing to play in the tournament which is part of the World Roller Games. Devon says the games will feature 10 different roller sports, including in-line hockey, rink hockey, downhill in-line racing and freestyle in-line skating. All the best in-line hockey nations have entered and Devon says the standard of competition will be extremely high. “All the big ice hockey nations will be there like the US and Canada and Sweden, and they are the top in-line teams, too. There’ll be 18 teams playing in four pools with the

top two in each pool going through to the quarters, so it’s going to be very difficult even making the top eight.” And when Devon is finished in China, he’ll be getting straight back into the field hockey when he returns to New Zealand on September 2, flying directly from Auckland to Palmerston North and then driving to Whanganui for the Founders Cup secondary schoolboys tournament. “It’s going to be interesting switching from in-line back to field again because they are two completely different games. There’s only five players on the rink in in-line and you can use both sides of the stick and there’s a puck instead of a ball – the rules are different, too.” But first Devon will have to attend to some field hockey commitments with his Nelson College First XI team playing in the Tasman secondary school champs at Saxton Field on Tuesday and Wednesday. Devon says the tournament will be an emotional one for many of the Nelson College players as they will be contesting the Mark Wilkens Memorial Trophy, in memory of the Nelson provincial stalwart who
