Editor’s Note

Painful, tired, heavy legs?

Would you love to wear shorts again?

Dear Covid,

We have learned to adapt. Life goes on.

You suck.

I feel for those who have been affected, especially those who have caught Covid-19. Here in Nelson, the Fringe Festival was forced to move online, markets and events have been cancelled and Mako tickets aren’t on sale yet as they wait to see what level we’ll be at by the time the season starts.

You took lives, jobs, a toll on many people’s mental health, have damaged businesses, left brides to be in tears, and then, just when we thought you might be gone, you came back.

But with every ugly situation comes the beauty of learning. You have put a lot into perspective. You have taught us that no matter how much money we have or what country we live in, we are not immune from separation from loved ones, sickness, death, grief, and uncertainty.

CALL FOR YOUR

COMPLIMENTARY,

You have also taught us that it will be OK. We can survive without takeaways, buying stuff, being in lockdown, limited human contact, and can also survive a pandemic.

NO OBLIGATION DOCTOR’S VEIN ASSESSMENT & SCAN

But there is light to be seen in plenty of little things.

It’s now spring and it makes me happy seeing nature coming out to party.

We are fortunate to live in a magical part of the world that has been rather successful in controlling the virus.

Let’s hope it gets even better from here.

Laying down a life of colour A family tragedy turned Lynette Graham’s life and art practice upside down. But now the Mapua artist tells Charles Anderson how she hopes her work can still make a small difference.

Lynette Graham was inspired by the idea of having ‘useable art’ that was bursting with colour.

A

n oil painting of a group of tulips still sits on Lynette Graham’s mantlepiece in Mapua. It is small and bursting with colour.

It’s also a reminder of her first foray into art, more than 20 years ago.

The Mapua artist was then living in Wellington and headed along to a gallery.

“There was a painting and it was amazing. I didn’t know if it was a photo or a painting.”

The gallery told her that they did art classes. So, Lynette headed along. She ended up painting at any opportunity. When her work colleagues would leave for the day, Lynette would pull oil paints out of the office fridge and get to work.

“I knew that if I went home, I would never get around to it.

I knew that if I wanted to get better, then I had to practice.”

So, she found herself getting lost in the work.

Lynette’s ability increased and so did her curiosity about what other mediums she could experiment with. For some time, she had thought about putting her vibrant colours onto fabric.

But it was a family tragedy that cemented the change in her work.

Her 12-year-old niece Emma was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer. Lynette flew to the United States to be with the family and it was there that she told Emma that she was thinking about working with fabric.

“Her eyes lit up. She was so excited about the idea. That became my motivation. She was a healthy young woman with her life ahead of her.”

Emma died only four months after the diagnosis. Before then, however, the Make a Wish Foundation organised a trip for her to go on a Disney cruise, which Lynette says was just an amazing experience for Emma.

When Lynette got home to New Zealand, she set about learning how to transfer her work into the digital realm. She learned photoshop and about supply chains for fabric printing.

Soon she had created useable art.

“The idea was to have something unique that you can’t just go out anywhere and buy. With painting you have to be connected to it, otherwise it’s just a picture and it doesn’t have any soul to it.

So, when my designs come out I want them to have a bit of substance and not something that can just be taken off the rack.”

Lynette creates cushions for couches, or pets or floors. She makes blankets to get cosy under — all bursting with colour. She even pivoted to making face masks.

Her work can be found at Gravity in Mapua and once she starts making a profit on her work, she plans to donate the proceeds to the Make a Wish Foundation.

“Even if it makes a difference in one child’s life that is something.”

And in that way, she can keep the spirit of her niece Emma alive too.

What are you watching?

We ask four Nelsonians to share their guilty and not so guilty pleasures on the home screens.

Founder, The Reel Effect

Nelson City Councillor

I am a huge movie person.

There is nothing I like more than a good story. Ones that are deep and make you feel something.

The Repair Shop on TV1 on Friday nights was my highlight through lockdown. You will always look at something with a different perspective once you watch The Repair Shop.

Advertising Consultant, Nelson Magazine

One I really loved lately was Marriage Story which is on Netflix. It’s the story of a couple and all the pain and healing that takes place during their divorce.

As wonderful as it is, I found it very hard to watch as while you come to understand why they cannot be together, you know they still love each other.

For all my love of movies, I usually never cry when watching them but I can say this is one of the few movies that actually made me cry.

It is an amazing show focusing on bringing something old back to its previous beauty.

The skill and visionary of the experts restoring people’s timeless heirlooms and bringing them back to life provides sentimental value to the owners and sparks the imagination. It can tug on the heart strings but shows great reward to what can happen when you look a little closer.

It certainly had an effect on me in looking to restore some family heirlooms that need a little TLC.

Canadian sitcom, Schitt’s Creek on Netflix is now my all-time most favourite show. It’s a zany and slightly over the top tale of a billionaire family who lose their fortune and relocate to a small rural town.

The star-studded cast and brilliant acting draws you into a hilarious, yet touching storyline of family, friendship, love, growth, acceptance, and community.

Recommended by my daughter, my 75-year-old mum has also just binge watched her way through the series, so it is inter-generational. Justifiably nominated for a record 15 Emmy’s in its final season, I’d recommend this show to… everyone!

The show I’m recommending to anyone who will listen is The Plot Against America streaming on Neon.

Based on the novel by Phillip Roth and brought to the screen

by Ed Burns and David Simon (the team behind The Wire), it’s an alternate history set in 1940s America in which President Franklin D. Roosevelt is defeated by the aviation hero and anti-Semite Charles Lindbergh.

The Plot Against America is so beautifully made, so cleverly written and so well acted, you’ll struggle to remember that the events it portrays didn’t actually occur. You’ll also be chilled at its relevance to the world today.

An affordable way to say goodbye, in a beautiful garden setting Nestled below the Richmond foothills, Hope Garden of Remembrance & Crematorium covers two and a half acres of rural land and incorporates a wide variety of garden styles, grassed terraces, water features, memorial groves and only birdsong to be heard on the breeze.

T

he state-of-the-art facility is the only remembrance gardens of its kind in the Nelson-Tasman region and was created to provide families with more choice in selecting a final resting place, and more freedom to memorialise the life of a loved one in a personal, permanent way.

“It has a beautiful private area for cremations to take place, to lay your loved ones to rest in the tranquil Memorial Garden,” says Operations Manager, Craig Mills. Or if preferred, their Book of Remembrance provides a large granite memorial stone on which the names of those whose ashes have been scattered are individually recorded.

Hope Garden of Remembrance & Crematorium is a uniquely special place. The award-winning building features a beautiful boutique chapel, entranceway and sparkling stained glass windows. There is also a memorial room with views towards the hills, offering a place of peace and quiet contemplation. The water which flows beneath the building signifies the flow of life, death and continuance, and the relationship between the landscape and the buildings is one of mutual tranquillity, light open spaces and aesthetic harmony.

A modern facility, the chapel discretely incorporates the latest audio-visual technology and web streaming capability.

The crematorium is located on the eastern end of the property.

PROMOTION

Caretaker, Chris Day says Hope Garden of Remembrance offers a quiet, rural location close to Richmond. “The Day family changed the two and a half acres of grapefruit orchard into a serene, peaceful location for loved ones to be laid to rest.

Francis Day wanted somewhere that didn’t restrict families on choice and so the Day family turned this area into a picturesque location to come and say goodbye.”

Recently, Nelson Tasman Cremations Direct who are based out of Hope Garden of Remembrance, was developed to offer lowcost funeral and memorial service alternatives for local families.

“Being independently owned and operated, we are able to provide the best prices in Nelson-Tasman for a direct cremation,” says Craig. “We provide alternative options to a traditional funeral service so families can still say their goodbyes, but in a beautiful private setting, keeping costs low. Saying goodbye is part of the whole journey after the loss of a loved one.”

Nelson Tasman Cremations Direct offer two packages.

There is the ‘Essentials’ package in which your loved one is transferred into their care, prepared and then taken through to the Hope Garden of Remembrance Crematorium.

There is also a package called ‘A Moment in Time’. Similar to the ‘Essentials’ option, this also includes a small gathering for family and friends in the chapel, with a funeral director to lead a committal, meaning you have a moment in time to say goodbye.

Hope Garden of Remembrance and Crematorium is a really beautiful place to say goodbye.

Nelson Tasman Cremations Direct is available directly or through Marsden House Funeral Services, Waimea Richmond Funeral Services, and Golden Bay Motueka Funeral Services.

Monique Richards and Dylan Galletly are the team behind creative advertising agency Wolf Horse.

From Nike to Nelson — the duo behind ‘We’ve Got This’ Advertising that uses augmented reality is a long way from your traditional channels of print, radio and TV mediums, but there’s a couple in town for whom blurring lines is all in a day’s work. Britt Coker finds out more.

output with the operational side of the business. Together, they’re Wolf Horse.

Dylan describes his work experience as chequered, including TV production, photography, sound design and editing, while Monique complements his creative

a relocation and a refit. After two years in Motueka, the couple have just shifted to Nelson and are settling into a new office down by the port.

Digital agencies overseas use augmented reality for a lot of big campaigns. The idea behind augmented reality (AR) advertising is that it is a totally immersive experience.

It costs a darn sight more to create but increases the chances of the consumer developing an emotional connection to a product. Love makes the marketing world go round.

Dylan cites an example of a no-expensesspared installation he was hired to help produce for Corona. Created over four months and set up in a hotel in Mexico City, the experience blended live theatre with

virtual reality creating a fully immersive experience from the word go. They turned a building interior into an indoor jungle, where actors engaged with the guests, adding the theatrics. Find your way to the bar and a walk-in fridge took you through to another room, another wilderness. “You put on a VR headset and then you’re in a virtual jungle and you go near the sun, and all the heaters turn on in real life so you’re feeling the heat.

Then you walk on to this beach and you take the headset off and you’re actually on a beach in another bar. The whole idea was that of mixed reality, where are the lines? That was a really interesting project.” It cost a bit too.

Dylan says although AR is being used a lot overseas it is still very much in the emerging tech space. Large scale installations like Corona can’t help but broaden the creative ideas when what is achievable is limited only by your imagination and the budget.

The no-expenses-spared installation Dylan helped produce for Corona.

No one’s talking into tin cans anymore.

“Corona was an amazing, landmark project, and that really inspires me to want to work with storytelling here.”

His thinking cap is on. “How do we take the Abel Tasman to the Auckland Airport where you put on the [AR] goggles and walk on to the beach. Those sort of emerging technology ideas are really appealing to me, because I’ve had a good taste for it.”

The couple have just recently been

“We came in with the original concept [We’ve Got This] and what we ended up then doing was deciding what were the key elements to execute it relatively digital stuff but there’s a whole bag of other activations [still to come] that we’re really excited to do as well but in terms of where we are now, we’re definitely happy,” says Monique.

A stunning, immersive photo booth for the launch of Chanel’s new timepiece in Switzerland was one of the projects Dylan worked on.

“The one thing I noticed, because I’m not from this region, is that people are very passionate about being here and that was one of the things we wanted to tap into because I think maybe in some other regions it wouldn’t have been the same attitude, but here people are like, ‘We love living in this region, and if you give us a platform we’re going to take it.’”

She thinks there are a lot of people in the region that are looking to do something that is pushing the boundaries and finding a new way to story tell. They see New Zealanders starting to embrace emerging tech more now. Considering the surreal quality of the world we currently live in, a bit of skewed reality doesn’t seem too big a leap to make.

Wolf Horse are the agency behind the regional campaign ‘We’ve Got This.’

Behind the bouquet In a busy arcade in central Nelson is a florist whose journey to open her own shop is a story decades in the making. Charles Anderson visits The Greenery and discovers there is more behind bouquets than colours and smells.

D

ori Moffatt always knew she wanted to be a florist. She can still remember as a 7-year-old girl plundering her parents Golden Bay garden for flowers. Then, when she couldn’t find any more, she would wander into her neighbours’ gardens.

“I just knew. It was the perfumes, the colours. I was just so boggled by nature.”

There was something about being able to take that nature indoors, and have it brighten a home and brighten your day, that resonated with Dori.

“They just make your home feel so special.”

As a teenager she moved to Nelson and did a course in floristry, but it wasn’t until she finished that and moved to Australia that she saw the industry up close.

“I was nervous because I wanted to be a florist my whole life and suddenly got this incredible opportunity and thought ‘what if I’m not good at it?’ My mum has told me my whole life that I have a natural talent, but Dad told me I could sing and I sure as hell can’t.”

But Dori took to it naturally. She worked for that florist for more than two years

before coming back to Wellington.

However, she had something to prove.

“I’m dyslexic. I can’t really read and write very well so I wanted to challenge myself by studying.”

She found an eight-month course in floristry and ended up being its top student. Soon she was back at it, living her dream but with her eyes wide open to its challenges.

“If I could have a dollar for everyone who says how they would love to be a florist because it looks like the nicest job…

It is a beautiful job, but it is hard. It is not easy on your hands and back. All day long you are standing, bracing a bouquet.

Every time I go for a massage they are like ‘whoa’. You have to learn how to hold your body in a certain way and every florist will tell you about their aches and pains.”

But then there is the beauty in it.

Every person who comes into a florist has a story. It might be happy. It might be sad. Sometimes they need to talk.

Sometimes they need to be with someone. Every time, they are looking for someone to help.

“Every customer has a particular emotion that is going on for them on a particular day,” Dori says. “It could be over a new baby or a birthday, but it could also be really devastating. We hear that every day, and it’s a privilege but, as a human, you do let it take a little bit from you.

Then again, some people aren’t as emotional as me.”

Dori says part of that openness that people feel is because a florist shop is an inviting place and it feels comfortable.

“Maybe they feel that because we are helping them, we need to know part of their story to help them more completely.”

Every bouquet has a different meaning and a different story.

CHARLES ANDERSON

Dori Moffatt says everyone who visits a florist has a story, whether it’s a happy or sad one.

She mentions an elderly gentleman who recently came in to buy a bouquet.

She felt there was something on his mind and when she asked who it was for, he said: “Me.” “He had lost his wife the previous year and he wanted to buy flowers to remember her by.”

“You might have a story like that every day. Every bouquet has a different meaning and a different story.”

Dori says her work is an artform.

If you walked around all the florists in Nelson, you would see each having their own style. The colours are different, the foliage is different. Dori says hers is a more natural style that lets the foliage be part of the design rather than a filler.

She makes it up as she goes — relying on instinct to build bouquets.

“It’s all going on in my head and you get a feeling of the person.”

When Dori branched out to create her own store, she knew it was a big deal.

She remembered her old bosses and how much it took out of them.

“Their whole life was committed to it.

They were absorbed by it and constantly exhausted. I thought ‘I’m never going to own my own shop’.”

But her passion runs thick and two years ago Dori knew she wanted to put her own mark on the industry.

“I needed to do it myself. As long as you are working for someone else you are an ambassador for their vision of things.

I wanted people to know me for who I am.”

The opportunity to take over the lease of the florist shop in the Farmer’s Arcade came up.

Dori, whose style is embracing natural colours and whose maiden name is ‘Green’, had the perfect name.

She called it “The Greenery”.

Dori wanted the space to be minimal, she didn’t want lots of colour or helium balloons. Dori says she will always point people in the direction of florists who do that style, though.

When she finally opened, she breathed floral relief.

“It was liberating. Everyone should just jump in and do something they are passionate about. It might not still work but I really do think Nelson needs young people getting into business.”

The Greenery has just celebrated its second birthday. It’s a far cry from that little girl picking other people’s flowers to build bouquets, but there are similarities.

Now, those flowers she picks are hers.

Tier it up

The season of summery dresses is theoretically on our doorstep, albeit one which may be different to any party season we’ve known before. In turbulent times, we can count on our wardrobes to deliver some instant cheer. So please, save your “tiers” for your sartorial choices.

A

s the weather warms, so does our propensity to adorn lighter, floatier fabrics. And a new wave of tiered dresses, skirts and tops are delivering on the brief.

Fun and versatile, voluminous tiers are catching our attention for the ability to look impossibly chic, a little whimsical, and extremely comfortable all at once.

A nod to the Prairie dress of last summer, this years’ tiers are more refined; falling in mini to midi and maxi hemlines, with ontrend statement puff sleeves, or no sleeves at all.

Tiered tops are either cropped or creeping into tunic territory.

Waistlines can be dropped, or high, but one thing is certain: voluminous

tiers are roomy enough for lounging, but polished enough to impress.

Admittedly a departure from dresses we might be familiar with, it’s an opportune time to try something new. Especially something new, comfortable and cool.

If you’re apprehensive the style may add too much fabric to your frame, opt for flattering A-line silhouettes, sleeveless numbers, cinch in with a belt, or team a wafty tiered skirt with a crop top.

Whatever you do, make sure to wear your tiers with pride. And perhaps with a sophisticated pair of sandals, some crisp white sneakers or some chunky Dr Martens.

ON THE STREET

Shane Stobie, Service Provider at Morrisons Café Describe each piece you are wearing and where each item is from: SHANE: My favourite check pants and my zip up cardi are from Cotton On, my shirt and overcoat is from Save Mart. My boots are from Number One Shoes.

JADE: My shirt is from Trouble & Fox. The jeans and beanie are from Glassons.

The Doc Martins, leather jacket and bag are from an op shop. I’ve had my Docs for 14 years and God knows how old they were when I bought them.

Such good quality.

What are you dressed for today?

SHANE: Success!

SHANE: 30’s dapper with a little camp.

Where do you buy most of your clothes from?

SHANE: Scarves…lots of scarves!

JADE: I wear jeans and shirts most days but also have a large coat and jacket collection that I am particularly proud of.

Lots of faux fur and leather. Autumn and winter are the best seasons for fashion.

September 2020

JADE: I love the cowboy theme that’s popular at the moment. Cowboy boots and tasselled leather jackets…it doesn’t get much better than that. I have a pair of thigh high, snakeskin, cowboy boots and they are probably the most ‘extra’ thing I own.

JADE: Lunch and running some errands.

What is most of your wardrobe made up of?

22

SHANE: Checks and tartan.

People rocking scarves.

What is your style?

JADE: Eclectic, while still dipping a toe in the current trends. I like clothes to be fun and to mix up my style, but my general style is combining feminine and masculine items.

Hello

What are you loving at the moment?

SHANE: I’m a fan of Cotton On and look for bargains in Farmers. You can’t beat an op shop either.

JADE: Op shops, online, and for jeans I really like Glassons. I think they are the best for quality and price. I’ve been on a budget since becoming a mum at age 24, so have learned to be a thrifty shopper. I do try to spend more money on things that I know are quality and that I will wear for years.

I love Trouble & Fox when I have a bit more money to spend.

and Jade Zeewoldt, Student.

What is your approach to shopping?

SHANE: I like to go for bargains, occasionally I’ll take a leap. I often spend more on one good piece that helps make cheaper items shine.

JADE: I don’t like to be restricted to what’s being marketed to me. I look in men’s sections or buy things in much bigger sizes. I recently bought a t-shirt from the boys’ section in Kmart which I always get complemented on. I used to massively impulse buy, but after moving so many times in the last 10 years, I now try to only buy things that I really love and know I will wear. I still sometimes impulse buy but mostly regret it when I do.

What is your all-time favourite purchase?

SHANE: This navy overcoat I’m wearing which was a $25 bargain from SaveMart.

JADE: Anything that was a really good deal at an op shop has my heart. My leather jacket was $7! So that’s definitely up there. Otherwise I would say my Docs which were $10.

I recently bought a t-shirt from the boys’ section in Kmart…

Jade Zeewoldt

What wardrobe item should everyone invest in?

SHANE: Scarves in winter, hats in summer.

An overcoat – for the silhouette alone!

JADE: Coats and boots! They are worth the extra money and the type of thing you can wear year after year, without them going out of fashion.

Is there a style rule you always obey?

SHANE: Dress for the size you are, not what you’d like to be.

JADE: I don’t ever like to look too overdone. I love makeup so always keep my hair pretty relaxed. If I’ve got a dressy girly outfit on for a night out, I have to put on something more casual and masculine to go with it.

If you could raid one person’s wardrobe who would it be?

SHANE: David Schitt JADE: Noel Fielding! He has amazing style.

Finish this sentence — You would never catch me wearing…

SHANE: A frown...or trackpants.

JADE: Bodycon dress or super high heels.

’ve just set the scene for Northspur, a low budget feature film written

by Nelson screenwriter, Justin Eade.

It expands on an idea that may have crossed your mind before, as Justin explains.

“Although it’s an action movie, it asks a few big thematic questions like, “How far are you willing to go to defend what’s yours in a post-apocalyptic world?

Are you willing to go all the way to protect your family?

The film was shot in Nelson and Marlborough earlier this year using a handful of professional actors, but by and large, it was local extras and crew that dominated the set, and local investors that bankrolled the project.

After 26 years of solitary refinement, Justin is no stranger to writing, or rewriting. His name is on 22 feature film scripts, eight plays and three radio plays but Northspur is his first feature length film to hear a director’s proverbial ‘that’s a wrap!’ catch cry. The film was three years and 32 drafts in the making before shooting even began.

Such a metaphorical marathon surely necessitates a sense of achievement when it finally comes to an end?

“Yes, but that won’t be until post production is complete. There’s a huge amount of satisfaction in just that alone, but I guess that’s only half the equation.

The reason you make a film is for it to be seen and enjoyed by an audience, so getting it out there to an audience will be the other half of it, for sure.”

Lights…camera…Northspur: Nelson screenwriter, Justin Eade on set of Northspur.

September 2020

Now in the final stages of editing, Northspur will shortly be packaged up for the crucial sales pitch to get it into movie theatres around the world.

About a month before they locked off the edit they held a test screening to get some last minute feedback and see how it translated on to the big screen.

A few adjustments were made based on the test response and for Justin and director, Aaron Falvey, it’s looking pretty good.

“We’re quite happy with how it’s coming out, we think it will be quite marketable.”

Being marketable, of course, is everything.

There are plenty of great scripts that will never see the dimmed lights of day because the audience appeal is too narrow.

However, Justin says action films are more marketable than other genres [one of the reasons why they chose it], though the catch with action is that it can sometimes necessitate a big budget. Blowing up stuff doesn’t come cheap. Post-apocalyptic action film Northspur, however, was made with just $200,000.

film which allowed him more of a say in the finished product. Staying on as part of the postproduction editing team gave him more creative control. Writers aren’t power hungry but he says it’s normal for the initial vision to get a little lost the more people get involved in the process.

Being right there to the end is a luxury he’s making the most of.

Justin Eade, screenwriter for the feature film Northspur, which was filmed in Nelson and Marlborough.

Many of the cast and crew made sacrifices in order for that to happen, seeing it as a chance to hone their skills for future opportunities, and in this neck of the woods, more opportunities are a given.

“There haven’t been many locally, home grown features done but I just think it’s an industry waiting to happen.

The locations that we have, the personnel, the writers and directors that we have. I think it’s possible to do low budget features here. That’s where Top of the South Filmmakers has helped.

It has been helpful for meeting people, networking and making a lot of short films, which gives you the belief that you can push on and do a feature.”

Scriptwriting, film sets and test screenings.

Life sounds exciting.

“I guess it’s the culmination of 26 years of work, it’s kind of bubbling over into fruition now. There’s been some dark, difficult and solitary moments but I never doubted doing it because it’s what I do.”

“But it’s been really, really hard.

Way more difficult than I ever thought.

It’s taken way longer than I ever thought, but I’m getting somewhere now. I’m very grateful for all the allies that I’ve met through the collective because they’ve made it possible and now I think we could keep making feature films here if we had the finance.”

If you fancy yourself as a budding movie maker, here’s some sage advice from a man living the dream.

Anyone is welcome to join the collective.

Started in 2015, there are 64 members across Nelson and Marlborough. Aaron was a founding member, Justin joined shortly after.

“Do lots of it. Start with short films.

They’re easier to produce and the stakes are lower. Join a film collective with likeminded people. Recognise your allies, you can’t do it all on your own.”

For many screenwriters, once you’ve exchanged your script for money, you never see it again, but in Justin’s case, he was also the main producer of the

Justin also says it’s ‘good to cut your teeth on shorts’. He’s probably wishing he’d had the creative control to edit that bit out, but, you know what he means.

Sporting moments revisited

When Nelson claimed the Chatham Cup In 1977, Nelson United made history by winning the Chatham Cup for the very first time.

Jonty Dine catches up with the captain of that side who scored a crucial penalty in a tense final in front of a parochial Auckland crowd.

T

he memories of the day in 1977 still loom large in John Enoka’s mind — 43 years later.

He remembers the penalty, striding to pick up the ball. He knew there was no one else that was going to take that kick. He placed it on the spot, eyed his target. Then he launched forward, belting the ball with everything he had.

The journey to that moment was almost as dramatic. Nelson had been written off by almost everyone prior to the Chatham Cup final. The trophy represents the oldest and most prestigious football tournament in the country – pitting clubs around New Zealand against each other.

Nelson United’s dream run started on the sand dunes of Tahunanui Beach.

and John Slotemaker and 16-year-old Colin Chisholm.

Kevin Fallon had been brought in as head coach and valued fitness above all else.

“We had all the makings of a great team.”

“He loves the game; it’s been his life and he was a real hard taskmaster.”

As well as running on the beach, players were made to run the Grampians up to the Centre of New Zealand.

“Not once or twice, but four or five times,” John laments.

However, the brutal training bonded John and his teammates.

“It was tough, but we just did it.”

“We were complete underdogs,” says John, now based in Australia.

“No one gave us a chance of winning.”

John says Kevin had recruited smartly and assembled a quality squad with a mixture of exuberance and experience.

That tag was justified too, with their opponents, Mt Wellington, boasting no less than six All Whites.

As well as John, Kenny Cresswell, Keith Mckay and Peter Simonsen were all brought in from the New Zealand U21 set up.

“People talk about luck. Yeah, we were lucky, but you have to make your own luck. We made ours by training hard and working together.”

Welcoming these young bucks to the side were a number of local stalwarts including David Brydon,

John was 22 at the time and jumped across the Cook Straight from a Lower Hutt club, Stop Out, to join Nelson.

Kicking off its Chatham Cup campaign with a big 7-0 win over Whanganui, Nelson then came up against John’s former club.

Runners up in the nationals, Stop Out posed a huge challenge to United, however, Nelson managed to hold the hosts to a 1-1 draw at full-time.

Nelson would go on to win the penalty shootout in what John says was a defining moment of the campaign.

“We had real belief after that.”

Next up was the Courier Rangers from Auckland, who were sent home from Rutherford Park after a 3-2 defeat.

That win helped to set up a semi final showdown with powerhouses Christchurch Technical.

“The hardest thing was always going to be getting to the final.”

A tough 3-1 victory would give Nelson its shot at history against Mt Wellington, though few in the big city gave the southerners a chance.

“A lot of people were thinking it will just be another one for the Mount, but we knew we could do it, after all the work we had done through the season.”

John says, though they lacked the experience and big names of their Auckland opposition, they weren’t daunted by the challenge.

“They had the skill, but we had faith in each other. We knew we could mix it with them fitness-wise, we had a super fit team.”

However, Nelson knew they would need to play out of their skins and have plenty of luck if they were to topple the hosts at Newmarket Park.

“They were always the team to beat.

They set examples, everyone respected and looked up to them, but we were going to get out there and give it our best shot.”

Luckily, goalkeeper Keith Barrett had the game of his life.

“He had a blinder, he was man of the match and rightly so.”

John recalls an exhausting first 45 minutes in front of a vocal Auckland audience. The final was also televised, with many of the Nelson players playing in front of cameras for the first time.

“It just added that bit more pressure.”

Mt Wellington peppered Nelson’s keeper throughout the half, but Barrett proved impenetrable.

“If they had scored one, they would’ve scored three or four, but the shots he stopped were amazing.”

Thanks to Barrett’s heroics, the first half would end in stalemate.

“Kevin just said, ‘We survived the first half, the second has to be ours if we want to win this’.”

John says, as the excitement in the arena built, his side took a while to find their feet in the second in half.

Then, in the 60th minute, it happened.

It was a dubious penalty given by referee John Perkins against Mt Wellington defender, Stu Carruthers.

“I’ve never managed to watch the replay, but it was a bit dodgy,” says John. “Even to this day some of the guys have been trying to get a copy but no one’s been able to find it.”

Whether warranted or not, Nelson now had a chance to take the lead.

Despite the pressure, John did not bat an eye as he strode forward and picked up the ball.

“I was confident. I’d taken a few penalties in my time and thought, ‘I will take it.’

Being captain, I just made the decision.”

He says his teammates joked that there was no point in anyone else volunteering — John was taking the shot.

“I had tunnel-vision.”

The young striker eyed up his spot at the back of the net and unleashed.

“It was always going to the goalkeepers right, he didn’t even see it. I hit it that hard, that quick.”

As the ball thundered into the goal John took off like a kid in a candy store.

“I went 100 miles around the whole park.

My teammates couldn’t catch me, I was overwhelmed.”

People talk about luck.

Yeah, we were lucky, but you have to make your own luck.

We made ours by training hard and working together.

John Enoka

With a 1-0 advantage, Nelson galvanised and set about defending with everything it had.

“When we scored, we got stronger.

We knew we had to stick to our guns and make it hard for them.”

The Auckland side searched desperately for an equaliser, but the stubborn Nelson defence continued to deny them.

John says it was an agonising wait for the final whistle, and they were overcome with exhaustion and ecstasy when it eventually sounded.

Above: John Enoka (pictured front) says the celebrations after winning the Chatham Cup were almost as draining as the match itself.

“They were a great team, but the underdogs came through. It was our day.”

Players were eager to get back to Nelson and celebrate, so the club had arranged an old army plane to get them home that evening.

“We called it the boneshaker; it was a very dodgy flight but the alcohol helped.”

The side then landed at Nelson Airport to a hoard of fans.

“It was chokka. They had the Nelson Band there, you couldn’t move in that airport, we felt like heroes.”

John says to repay club members and fans with such a prestigious trophy was incredibly satisfying.

“It was a nice feeling to pay them back for all the work they put in. It was always hard in those days financially, and to be able to give something back to all those that would turn up on a Sunday to cheer us on.”

The celebrations went long into the weekend and John jokes that they were almost as draining as the match itself.

Having maintained the core of its squad, Nelson enjoyed similar success in 1978, hosting the Chatham Cup final at Trafalgar Park.

However, in an ironic reversal of fortunes, it was Nelson who were upset 1-0 by Manurewa.

John says, while he stays in contact with the majority of the team, they are yet to have a proper reunion.

“I would love to have a catch up and a friendly game.”

Building a Better New Zealand

At Home

Building the dream and home maintenance When it comes to building a new home there are lots of exciting choices to make but one of the key decisions you make early on is who will build your dream home?

Your local Registered Master Builder has made a commitment to superior quality in all aspects of their business.

Ensure you have a home to be proud of for many years and enjoy the process of getting there.

Master Builders spokeswoman Karen Maddock says that to be recognised as a Master Builder takes time and commitment. “Workmanship must be of the highest quality and standards unsurpassable to achieve that honour.

Registered Master Builders have access to a comprehensive suite of contract documents which provide you with protection from the start. Your Master Builder will ensure you are fully informed and aware of the process,” she explains.

Your builder will ensure that your ideas and visions are passed on to the rest of the team. He will be the link between you, your designers and the various subcontractors, and a good communication flow means he will be comfortable offering suggestions, improvements, and ideas that you may not have thought of.

Darryl suggests you look at previous build projects before committing to any builder. Individual websites are a good place to start, and often they can arrange for you to visit completed homes.

This allows you to talk with clients and

ascertain how their build went — there’s nothing like a personal recommendation from a happy homeowner.

Gardiner Building Contractors have many such happy customers with recent builds that include the luxurious Falcon Brae Villa, right through to new house builds and home renovations.

“Land availability, or sometimes the lack of it, has seen a surge in the amount of renovation projects here in Nelson.

People are recognising that they like their current location and the best option is to make the most of what they already have without relocating,” says Darryl.

The Master Builder’s guarantee is the most comprehensive guarantee in the industry - covering your home for 10 years from when you pay your deposit.

All Registered Master Builders must prove their financial standing to join so you can be confident your biggest investment is in safe hands.

Darryl Gardiner from Gardiner Building Contractors says communication is the key to any successful build project.

“It’s important to choose a builder you are comfortable with and who understands what you want to achieve.”

At Home With any building or renovation project getting the aesthetics right will give your home the wow factor.

Choosing the right paint finish is important and with so many options it makes sense to get professional advice on the best products to suit each individual home. Steve Halcrow and his team at Nelson Bays Decorating will be able to advise on the right choices and they work closely with their suppliers, Resene, who can also offer guidance on colour selection.

One of the simplest, quickest and most effective ways to freshen up existing

homes and give you a whole new look is to consider repainting. With a team of five, including gibstoppers and a qualified builder who can take care of any repairs, Nelson Bays Decorating will make your transition seamless, whether you are looking to paint or wallpaper.

They can tackle any project from a single room to an entire multi-level home, quickly and efficiently.

Now that the warm weather has arrived there’s always a rush to get painting projects underway, so it makes sense to get your job booked in nice and early and have it completed ready to enjoy for years to come.

The great outdoors “It’s always good to do some research so that you have a clear idea of how you want your outdoor area to look. There’s a number of good landscaping websites and magazines that are a good source of inspiration and ideas,” says James from Green Hornet Landscaping.

And if putting it all together seems a little daunting, then call in the professionals for a design and landscape plan that will incorporate your ideas and suggestions to improve on them.

“Nowadays we do a lot of work from plans before construction on new homes even gets under way. Particularly handy when you are trying to stick to a budget from the get-go, we’ll give you a square metre rate and guide price estimate based on an agreed landscape plan.”

Green Hornet Landscaping

Once your home is nearing completion, final decisions are made to ensure your landscape design fits perfectly with the house, taking into consideration things like cladding, finishing, driveways and paths.

If a garden redesign is in order for existing homes, it is always a good idea to engage the services of someone who can provide inspiration and come up with practical solutions.

Springtime is traditionally a busy time for landscaping, and one of James’ biggest recommendations is to get in early. Demand for any good landscaper is high and you don’t want to miss out on getting the best services, so make contact early to get work underway to ensure you can enjoy the results by the time summer arrives.

And while you are enjoying summer — there’s no better way to do it than lounging beside your own pool.

Compass Pools

As the size of a traditional kiwi backyard decreases, so does the size of your swimming pool.

“Just because you have a smaller space, doesn’t mean you need to forgo having your own pool,” says Nelson Marlborough Compass Pool dealer, Tom Norton.

“While our most popular pools tend to be X-Trainers, Vogues and Fast-Lane lap pools, we are also seeing huge interest in smaller plunge pools.”

Unlike many fibreglass pools a Compass can be customised with features from pool and spa combos through to sun-pods, water-walls, vanishing edges and are also available in a range of exclusive colours.

Many homeowners are installing Vantage cleaning systems that virtually eliminate the need for manual cleaning, leaving your pool looking as clean and impressive as the ones you see in the magazines.

Gut Feeling Words: Melinda Collins

Our tummies are at the top of mind when it comes to the top trends for the coming year, with digestive health dominating our culinary picks.

W

hile we have long sought to get more fibre and probiotics into our days, as research continues to demonstrate strong links between gut health and total mental and physical wellbeing, we’re increasingly stepping this up with the addition of prebiotics and fermented foods.

FIBRE-LICIOUS FOODS The research jury is out; high-fibre foods such as legumes, beans, peas, oats, bananas, berries, asparagus and leeks have a positive impact on gut health, helping to keep the digestive tract flowing.

VERSATILE VEGES Garlic and onion are versatile ingredients packed with prebiotic fibre, that some studies suggest may be even better for your gut than the fibre in some fruits, vegetables and whole grains.

PACK IN THE PROBIOTICS Fermented foods like kimchi, sauerkraut, yogurt, tempeh, miso and kefir are packed with probiotics, which help balance the friendly bacteria in the gut.

CLEVER COLLAGEN Collagen-rich foods such as bone broth and salmon are understood to be beneficial to gut health, with foods like mushrooms, some dairy and certain meats offering dietary ways to get your collagen fix.

Toasted coconut lamingtons With Pic’s Boysenberry Jelly

INGREDIENTS

Sponge 4 eggs 135g golden caster sugar 130g high grade flour 75g butter 1 tsp vanilla paste 5 tbsp Pic’s Boysenberry Jelly for filling

Boysenberry Jelly Coating 250g icing sugar 3 tbsp Pic’s Boysenberry Jelly 1 ½ tbsp water 250g of toasted, shredded coconut on a large plate for coating

Makes 8 lamingtons

Preheat your oven to 170°C. Line a square, high sided tin with baking paper.

Over a pot of simmering water, heat the sugar and the eggs in a heatproof bowl until they are warmed through.

While they are heating, melt the butter until the solids separate and you get a burnt butter aroma. Set aside.

Return to your egg mix and using an electric beater, beat for 7 minutes on high speed until the egg mix is pale, fluffy and thick, then add the vanilla paste and beat again to incorporate.

Sift a third of the flour into the egg mixture bowl and carefully fold through.

Repeat until all flour is well incorporated.

Pour in the melted butter and fold in.

Transfer the mixture into the prepared tin and spread out evenly. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden and the sponge springs back when touched.

Allow to cool down on a wire rack then cut the sponge in half horizontally.

Spread the jelly over one sponge half on the cut side then place the other half on top to create a sandwich. Cut into squares or oblongs.

To make the coating, combine all ingredients to give an icing like texture.

But not too thick as it will be hard to coat the sponge. Use more water if need be.

Dip each sponge into the mixture, rotating to evenly cover the whole piece.

Then roll it around in the coconut and set aside on a lined baking tray. Repeat until all lamingtons have been dunked and coated.

Best eaten on the same day.

Personal insurance — what’s important?

Personal insurance programs should form a basis for anyone looking to get ahead financially. At certain times in your life you will have risks that need protecting so you don’t lose everything if the wheels fall off.

But the field can be confusing, particularly around what is important. Here is some quick information on different covers that may be considered.

LIFE COVER Pays in the event of death. Vital if you have family dependent on you. Used to clear debts and look after dependents left behind.

INCOME COVER Pays if you cannot work due to sickness or injury. Important if there is a main bread winner or if a loss of income would financially derail your household.

A medium or long term loss of income can devastate any financial goals you may have.

PROMOTION

next generation medicines can be extraordinarily expensive and not available in the public system.

TRAUMA COVER Used as a lump sum payment in the event of a serious medical event or injury to allow time to recover, seek treatment or reduce financial burdens.

Cancer, heart attack and stroke make up 85% of claims in this space.

Self employed people and business owners have a whole layer of complexity on top of this with shareholder protection, debt and personal guarantee cover and key person covers. In this situation, good advice is vital.

September checklist September is a busy month in the garden calendar. The days are getting longer and the weather warmer.

The promise of a long hot summer and a bumper harvest is in the air!

Kitchen garden If you haven’t already prepared the soil, now is the time to get started. If it doesn’t need turning over, then spread a couple of bags of compost over the bare soil and dig through the top layer before you plant.

Empty your compost bin. It is ready when it is the consistency of lumpy soil. Don’t plant straight into it though, as it is too rich. Leave for a few weeks before planting.

Sow seeds; carrots, parsnip, beetroot, silverbeet, peas, lettuces, leeks, cabbage, tomato, capsicum, courgette, melon, cucumber and eggplant. Transplant to the garden as the weather warms and when they are showing at least two sets of true leaves.

Sow peas, snow peas, runner and bush beans directly in to the ground.

Protect from any frosts. Planting seeds too deep can lead to decay. Follow the instructions on the back of the packet.

Don’t waste the little plants you pull out when thinning your carrot and beetroot, they are great in salads.

Plant seedlings: Lettuce, leeks, cabbage, corn, pumpkin, celery, onions, silverbeet, courgettes.

Stagger planting green salad crops like mizuna, lettuce and mesclun for continuous supply.

Plant passionfruit early in the warmer regions. They need well drained soil and strong support. Protect the tender foliage from frosts.

soil and trellis support. Try dwarf sweat peas in pots or hanging baskets.

Plant sunflowers either in pots or straight into the ground in warmer regions.

Plant sprouted seed potatoes, or a second crop for a staggered harvest.

Trees and shrubs

Garden colour

Plant new trees and shrubs. Dig compost with the soil and add a long term fertiliser to the bottom of the hole.

Continue to replant your pots. If the potting soil is old it will be depleted.

Remove the old soil, add new container mix and fresh new flowers.

Choose new camellias and rhododendrons. They like an acidic soil and semi shady position.

Sow seeds: begonias, carnations, cosmos, flowering kale, impatiens, lobelia, salvia, viola, poppies.

Transplant to the garden as the weather warms and when they are showing at least two sets of true leaves.

Lawn Sow new lawn; take advantage of the spring rain and warmth to germinate new seed.

Plant seedlings: ageratum, alyssum, aster, begonia, californian poppy, carnation, cosmos, dahlia, impatiens, marigold, and petunia. Mitre 10 stock the full range of spring annuals.

Fertilise your lawn for spring.

Apply evenly across the whole lawn and water in.

Spray for onehunga weed. It comes into flower in September and October so now is the time to spray for it. Attack the broadleaf weeds in the lawn. Wait for a calm day before using any sprays.

Sow sweat peas for summer colour.

They like plenty of sun, well drained

Key points for this month:

It’s spring and time to prepare your garden for planting

Sow vegetable seeds for summer salads

Continue to plant seed potatoes Plant and feed strawberries

‘Fresh is best’ — plant vegetable seedlings

Plan your garden colour.

Proud To Be Local

What experiences or teachings have influenced your practises?

My healing journey from childhood sexual abuse has been my biggest influence. I began personal development work to heal my trauma. Studying ‘emotional intelligence mastery’ with Louise Armstrong; Flourish Academy with Dagmar Khan, leading women’s health mentor and pelvic floor specialist.

I am currently training to facilitate consensual contact workshops with ecstatic presence creator, Renetsu. This workshop deepens your connection to self and others with honour and respect using conscious, clear communication and simple practices assisting you to come into presence with your own body and its divine wisdom. I have worked as a massage therapist for over 13 years and am trained in traditional old-style Lomi Lomi Massage.

Tell us about ‘Trauma Release Bodywork’ and ‘Angelic Reiki Trauma can be anything that the body has not been able to process and results in a tension or holding within the body.

Trauma Release Bodywork releases tension or suppressed emotions, creating more energy flow. We begin with a heartcentred conversation followed by an intuitive massage using breath work, energetic healing and sound healing.

Angelic Reiki or energy healing is a modality for healing on all levels - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

I hold space for high vibrational energy to channel through me. During the healing, energy from the angels and ascended masters connects to both of our energies, healing physical symptoms, limiting beliefs, thought patterns and behaviours that are not for our highest good.

With 54ha of productive easy country, great access tracks, plenty of shedding for storage or animals, good water and an airstrip which currently makes our Vendors a generous royalty, this property is all about space.
