Who turned the lights out? Sara Hollyman Editor

Upper Trafalgar Street’s $860,0000 catenary lights project needed to be switched off after
only seven days in operation because water leaked into faulty casings, Nelson Weekly has learned. The lights on Upper Trafalgar St were installed in July and were switched on just in time for Te Ramaroa/Light Nelson, on
Wednesday 14 July. However, Nelson City Council group services manager Alec Louverdis says that, due to a fault in the casings, water was able to leak in around some of the LED lights during rainstorms prior to
Te Ramaroa. “This meant LEDs failed on six of the eighteen strings, the lights were turned off and replacements were ordered,” he says. Upper Trafalgar St was made a permanent pedestrian area in
2019. The project aimed to be a people-focused, place-based project, which aimed to draw more people, events and activities into the city centre. An initial budget

of $600,000 for multi-function light poles was approved by council from a combination of $250,000 capital expenditure allocated via the annual plan 2019/20 and $350,000 from the CBD enhancement capital expenditure budget which was allocated to the city centre programme. At a council meeting on 17 December 2020, councillors approved a further $261,000 in funding for the new lighting, bringing the project’s total lighting budget to $861,000. The additional funding was required for further luminaries, civil works, additional design and supervision costs, and pole fabrication costs to meet electrical design. In July 2021, the catenary lights were finally ready to install, with seven 9-metre-high poles being completed in early July.

The lights at the Top of Trafalgar were functional for just a week before needing to be switched off. Photo: Supplied. A post on Shape Nelson on July 5 stated: “We will make sure that these are well tested before flicking the switch on Wednesday 14 July, at 5.30 pm.” However, after just a week, the lights were forced to be switched off due to the fault. Alec says the manufacturer and supplier are sending a new set of
lights and installing them free of charge. “The lights created a lovely atmosphere, and we hope to see them return by November.” The lighting is a key feature of the street, and the design of the poles provides for a range of lighting options in the street. Catenary lights were the first to be installed.

Woman wrecks backpackers in drunken rampage Erin Bradnock Reporter
erin@nelsonweekly.co.nz
A woman who punched through a door and smashed glass panels with her bare hands during a destructive rampage at a Bridge St backpackers has pleaded guilty to a variety of charges. Sarah Ann Wilson, 36, appeared in the Nelson District Court on Monday following an incident at Downtown Backpackers & Accommodation last month. After punching through a door, smashing a glass panel and driving into the backpacker’s fence, Wilson, pleaded guilty to charges of willful damage, potential damage, driving with excess breath alcohol and dangerous driving. According to the police summary of facts, Wilson arrived at backpackers accommodation on Bridge St at about 10pm on Thursday, 12 September. She parked at the rear of the backpackers where her ex-partner was living and then yelled after her ex-partner while coming in and out of her vehicle and beeping the horn. After an hour of the disturbance, Wilson went inside the backpackers and began to yell and bang directly on her ex-

Wilson then smashed a glass entrance panel, cutting her hands and leaving shards over the floor. She went on to bang on more residents’ doors, smearing her blood over the doors and walls as she went. Wilson returned to her vehicle only to drive into the backpackers fence. As she attempted to flee the scene, she hit a rubbish bin with her car, leaving rubbish strewn through the
entranceway of the accommodation. A breath test revealed that Wilson had an excess breath alcohol of 664mcg per litre of breath, more than twice the legal limit. She declined to comment to police and will be ordered to pay reparations for the damaged property yet to be valued. Judge Jo Rielly ordered a presentence report as well as a victim impact statement from the ex-partner ahead of her sentencing on 14 December.

Masks cause issues for hard of hearing Sara Hollyman
Sea Scouts vow to go extra mile
sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Sara Hollyman
A profoundly deaf woman is calling on local businesses to look into rules around mask wearing, after she was unable to make store purchases due to staff refusing to remove their face coverings. Murchison woman Christine Pointon was born profoundly deaf and learned to lip read at a young age. With Covid-19 regulations making face coverings mandatory for all employees of customer-facing businesses, life has become much harder for Christine. She has become frustrated with staff refusing to remove their masks despite regulations stating that workers can legally remove masks to enable communication with a person who is deaf or hard of hearing. “It makes me feel very frustrated because I need to be able to lipread to do my transactions,” Christine says. She says shop workers have been reluctant to remove masks and sometimes even refuse, so she has had to leave the store without making her
When four local Iron Duke Sea Scouts heard other teams planning their 150km journeys as part of a challenge to earn their ‘Chief Expedition badge’, they thought “we can take it a step further”. Part of the badge challenge is to travel 150km using three modes of transport, but the Nelson team decided to extend their trip to 1200km and use five modes of transport. Team member Silas Bailey says other groups were travelling to places like Lake Rotoiti. “We decided, hey why not add an extra zero and go the extra, extra mile.” So, Silas, along with Reuben Cottom, Ruth Vaughan and Holly Fortune will venture down the West Coast to Haast and back next week in pursuit of their final badge before they graduate. The team of teenagers will travel by bus and van before completing the epic journey by kayaking, biking and finally walking. They have planned six days for their return trip and have had to plan the entire venture themselves - from accommodation through to activities. A big part of the adventure is fundraising to make it happen, which this year has been severely impacted by Covid-19. With the usual carwashes out of the mix, the teens have had to get creative with their fundraising idea. They have come up with a concept where donators can purchase a ‘challenge’ such as boiling water in a paper bag or hanging from monkey bars for as long as they can.

It’s been more than a decade since Taryn Beattie tried to take her own life. “When I decided to act, I didn’t want to talk to anyone,” she says. “I was happy I had made that decision and I was leaving my family unburdened. I was doing them a favour.” It is only in the past few months that she has felt comfortable enough to ask for help. And now she is helping spearhead a campaign for youth Taryn Beattie mental health services with Mike King’s I Am Hope programme. This includes next year’s MET for Mental Health Gala, which has already raised more than $100,000 and Gumboot Friday, which will take place on November 5. It took a second national lockdown for Taryn, who was living alone and running a business, to reach out for support. “I called a friend and told her I don’t feel safe in my brain, and I asked her to move in.” Taryn says Covid-19 has been incredibly detrimental to the country’s collective well-being. She says the services available to those in the deepest grips of depression are inadequate. Taryn has recently been trying to find help for a friend who was having thoughts of ending their life. “They can’t get an appointment for six weeks and every psychiatrist is unavailable until January, that’s an issue.” She says as a society we need to address this by educating and empowering youth. “We need to get it into schools, get help accessible and have the finances available for resources.”

Here, she shares her experience and story in her first language, and in English. Tell us about your te reo Māori journey? Ko te reo tōku reo tuatahi.

Some people just don't want to try to understand me and they cut me off and tell me to just write it down. It's also difficult to express my thoughts sometimes. In one classroom we are learning about the treaty, which is something I think is very important and I would normally be active in giving my thoughts. But it's more difficult to express myself in a way where people can understand me. It's also just more difficult to have a conversation with someone.
I am from Ngāti Rārua, Rangitāne, Ngāti Kuia and Ngāti Apa ki te Rā Tō. My father taught himself te reo Māori so that he could teach me, to encourage me and to make sure I understand how important my Māori heritage is. Have you had a positive response to speaking only te reo for a whole month? Āe tino. Kei te tino akiaki ngā tāngata i tōku mahi. Tokomaha ngā tāngata e kī ana he tino kaha au ki te mahi pēnei. Nō te mea kua mahi kē au, ko te nuinga o ngā tāngata e kōrero ana ki ahau, ko ngā tāngata a tautoko ana. Ko tētahi mea pai, ka kōrero Māori mai tētahi o ōku Kaihautū Pahi. Kāhore tōku pahi kura, tētahi pahi nō NBus. I've had a very positive response. Lots of people are very supportive and tell me how strong I am to do this. Because I've done this before, most of the people that talk to me are really positive. I have a bus driver that speaks Māori, on one of the public buses, not the school bus.

Legacy of John Mitchell celebrated Erin Bradnock Reporter
erin@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Mauī John Mitchell will be remembered as a loving family man and generous historian whose approach to life touched the lives many through the region. John, of Ngāti Tama, Te Ātiawa, Ngāti Toa, and Taranaki Tūturu descent, died on September 23 after suffering from lymphoma for the past 12 years. According to his wife and research partner, Hilary, John managed to squeeze a lot of living into his 80 years. Hilary met John when they were both 17 in their first week of study at the University of Canterbury in 1959. After seven years they married in 1966. John graduated with a BSc in geology, chemistry, physics, maths before switching to psychology and sociology. For the next seven years he lectured at Canterbury’s psychology department as the only person of Māori descent on the teaching staff. From there, it was a chance meeting with the country’s first Outward Bound warden at a party that changed his fate. “I’d love to do that,” he told Hilary at the time. “That’s real psychology in practice.” He became an Outward Bound warden in Anakiwa from 1974 to 1978. While Hilary said his pay dropped by half, he wouldn’t have had it any other way. Then, the pair turned to tomato growing at their then Rutherford Rd home in 1979. With just his high school tomato picking experience to fall back on, Hilary says his lens on life was

That risk-taking mentality led the pair to set up Mitchell Research in 1985. After the Waitangi Tribunal was finally permitted to investigate historic claims, John and Hilary set out on canvassing the histories of local iwi. Kaumātua asked John to publish his findings. “Kaumātua told John it would be a great shame if all that history were to just rot on a shelf in Wellington,”
says Hilary. After the Waitangi Tribunal hearings, their findings were modified to become Volume I of Te Tau Ihu o Te Waka in 2004. Their research into regional and personal histories continued well into the 2000s and, in 2014, the pair finished the final book in their four-part Te Tau Ihu o Te Waka series. Hilary says she was pleased that he lived long enough to see their latest book, He Ringatoi o Ngā Tūpuna, about English artist Isaac Coates and the 58 Māori he painted portraits of, released earlier this year. John would also reply to hundreds who asked after their own whakapapa. Last year alone John helped 43 people across the country in collating their family history. “He would reply to them all. He did it because people need to know their own whakapapa,” says Hilary. She says John was never an activist by nature but says “someone had to be”. “You have to stand up for what you believe in, and he always did.” Wakatū Incorporation says he will be well missed but his legacy lives on his whānau and in his published works. “His deep love for people, whakapapa and history shone through in everything he did,” a statement reads.

Opinion Your Voice Three Waters: Congratulations to councillors Tim Skinner, Trudie Brand, and Mel Courtney for taking a stand on the government's Three Waters proposal which will remove control from Nelson over all private and public water assets. Now we know which councillors are looking after the ratepayers. Dan McGuire Transport report: The article in the Weekly (28 Sept) ‘Council fails to meet most transport targets’ is an embarrassment. It’s an embarrassment for the 78 per cent of drivers who are sole occupants of their vehicles and for those of us who seem incapable of ever catching a bus. And it’s an embarrassment for all New Zealanders as it highlights some of the reasons why we are seen internationally as a laggard when it comes to combatting climate change. Climate change is real, so for the sake of our grandchildren we all need to act now. Tim Robson
The crossword lovers: Just had to drop your paper a line to say we are huge fans of your weekly crossword. Last week’s one (29 Sept) was especially difficult. We looked up 6 for answers but that’s ok as we consider this a learning tool rather than “cheating” as some of our mates call it. We have a competition with our daughter and son-in-law (engineer and maths teacher) to see who doesn’t need to look up answers, and it’s a challenging competition as we all have good weeks and not so good weeks in accomplishing the crossword. Many thanks again we look forward to the weekly challenge. Elsie and Noel Houghton / David and Emma Munro

Owner Dean Brunell says they were plunged into Level 4 lockdown just 15 days after taking over ownership of the motor lodge. “We were watching all our bookings just get wiped off the screen, we were really struggling. Some very good friends of mine saw what was happening and said they wanted to donate two nights in a king studio.” That two-night stay giveaway made national news and was given to a deserving couple in Dunedin. Now Dean and the Century Park team want to give a local essential worker the same gift. “It really touches my heart when I think of all the essential workers who kept things running during lockdown, they all do such a great job.” That package now includes dinner for two at Lonestar, a gift basket from Kiwi Kai and a second of local produce, along with a bouquet of flowers. “It’s about giving back to the community.” To nominate a deserving essential worker, head to the More FM Facebook page.
Beaten by monster burger, Wednesday, 4 August: Burger Culture’s burger challenge, in collaboration with Miki D’s Gym, managed to raise $530 for Big Brothers/Sisters and the Mental Health Foundation. The challenge was to complete a 900g burger – consisting of three beef patties, two pieces of fried chicken, pulled pork, pulled lamb, a fried egg, pickles, and sauce on a brioche bun – in 20 minutes. For each $35 burger sold, $10 went to charity. Those who managed to finish it got it for free. Burger Culture’s Zoe Williams says altogether they sold 121 burgers, with 79 wins and 42 fails. Atawhai residents fight roadside rubbish, Wednesday, 8 September: Atawhai resident Linda Holloway is still on a mission to clean up rubbish in Atawhai. After the story was published, Linda only had one person email her to say they could help. If you would like to get involved in the Atawhai rubbish clean up, please contact Linda at ljholloway64@gmail.com Laughing in the face of cancer, Wednesday, 4 August: The cabaret held at the Playhouse on 6 August raised $2857 to be shared between Anna Stephens, a 42-year-old local woman with terminal cancer, and the Nelson Tasman Hospice. Organiser Rachel Yerbury says they made more than $3000 before costs. “Even though we had only sold 40 tickets online, we packed out the Playhouse with around 90 folk,” she says. On Anna’s bucket list was performing a song from The Greatest Showman to a live audience, and she got to do just that at the cabaret. “All the acts were fantastic,” says Rachel. “And Anna’s rendition of Never Again got a standing ovation.”

With the warmer weather you may be getting some uninvited little guests; Argentine ants are small (2-3mm long) and honey-brown in colour, while most other common household ants in New Zealand are black. Argentine ants are highly active in searching for food and their trails are often five or more ants wide. Unlike most other ants, they climb trees to get to food sources. Unlike most pests, ants require a multipronged approach to get them under control. www.nopests.co.nz have developed the

The automated insect controller uses an active ingredient that is safe for people and pets. The Ecomist dispenser dispenses a mist every few minutes to keep your home free of insects. Dealing effectively with flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches and ants, the Ecomist dispenser is mounted high on the wall and set to release small amounts of natural pyrethrin at regular intervals to kill and repel all insects. The dispenser releases droplets that are small enough to stay in the air, then natural airflow allows the mist to spread to all areas, controlling pests no matter where they are. Alternately, the dispenser can also be filled with an odour neutraliser. Ecomist
Winter was busy for Debug Nelson, getting rid of pests in people’s homes. “During the spring-summer months, flies, spiders and ants start to take off,” says Debug Nelson owner, Shane Warland. “During the warmer weather, flies can become an issue with doors and windows open. The heat can also bring ants out looking for food.” Cockroaches have also been a problem for many people recently. Don’t be shy about calling them to help - cockroaches can happen to anyone! Whatever pest problem you are facing, it pays to book early before
it gets worse. “We will keep going until the problem is sorted,” says Shane. “We have two vans out on the road which cover the Top of the South region.” Debug Nelson is a member of the Pest Management Association of New Zealand. “We’re still fighting the good fight on pest control.” If you have a pest problem at your place, call Shane on 027 251 8229 or visit www.debugnelson.co.nz

COUCH STORIES WED 27 OCT | 8PM | NCMA
How many times have we arrived at a situation where the question we ask ourselves is What Now? Connect with ten local storytellers who share their own ‘What Now?’ moment in in this much-loved local festival event of true stories told live.
There are – in the tradition of Katherine Mansfield, Robin Hyde and Janet Frame – many Aotearoa writers who live beyond our shores. What message would they like us to hear? What can our writers who have returned home offer their far flung fellow wordsmiths? And how can we all take inspiration from these trailblazers and use the written word to connect with our own loved ones who are overseas? As part of this year’s Festival, we’ll be offering a series of digital works that contemplate these questions and encourage our community to do the same. Keep an eye out around town and on our digital platforms for ways to connect. All books are available at our festival bookstore and sponsor Page & Blackmore.

Maitahi Bayview private plan change In a full Council meeting on 23 September, Nelson's elected members considered the private plan change request submitted by CCKV Dev Co LP and Bayview Nelson Limited for Maitahi Bayview. Council decided to accept the plan change to continue to a Resource Management Act Schedule 1 process. To read the full report and recommendations, go to nelson.govt.nz/maitahibayviewresidential-development
What happens next? A Schedule 1 process will involve public notification and hearing of the plan change application. The plan change must be notified within four months of Council’s decision. The notification and submission period will be publicly advertised and directly involved parties will also be individually notified. Accredited commissioners will be appointed to consider the private plan change and to make recommendations to Council. Under this option, all costs associated with the plan change are borne by the person making the request, in this case CCKV Dev Co LP and Bayview Nelson Limited.

Flood Mitigation Plan for new library shows manageable flood risk at riverside precinct site Further flood modelling on initial concept drawings of the proposed new Nelson Central Library has shown there would be minimal flood risk of developing the proposed site on the surrounding area if specific mitigation measures are incorporated in the design brief. The Tonkin & Taylor report, presented to Council on Thursday, 23 September, compared five different scenarios against two flood events (present-day 1% AEP and 1% AEP in 2130 incorporating RCP8.5M climate change impact) against a baseline model that represents the current building configuration. The modelling results showed that any on-site and off-site flooding effects could be mitigated by design features such as a minimum floor level of RL 4.0m, with the ability to raise the floor level of the building in the future, and by creating a secondary flow path. In two of the scenarios modelled, the expected flood depths in some areas were lessened.
The five tested scenarios were: • A ‘worst case’ model, where the entire site, bordered by Trafalgar, Halifax and Tahaki Streets, is built up. Note - this scenario is not anticipated. • The Burger King building and the building between Findex and the Riverside Youth Pop-up Park are removed, and two new library buildings added as per the initial concept drawing. No secondary flow path incorporated • Scenario 2, but with a secondary flow path • Scenario 3, with the additional removal of the existing Elma Turner Library building • Scenario 4, with the inclusion of a Climatorium. While scenario 1 and, to a lesser extent, scenario 2 showed limited upstream flooding, this was reduced by the introduction of a secondary flow path in scenario 3. Scenarios 4 and 5 showed a positive benefit, decreasing flood levels to Civic House and Halifax St. The addition of a Climatorium for the purpose of the current modelling had a negligible impact on the positive outcomes seen from scenario 4. Council accepted the report’s recommendation that these design elements are factored into the design brief for the new central library building, but also noted that no commitment to the building footprints used in the modelling, nor any specific building shape or layout, has been made. Further flood modelling will be undertaken when the final building footprint is developed. The current flood modelling does not take into consideration information that will be available from future planned flood mitigation engagement and the benefit from potential future works in the central city. Mayor Rachel Reese said: “This is not the first risk assessment we have done of the site, and I am confident in the professional advice we have received so far. We have seen here that our due diligence is paying off.” Group Manager Infrastructure Alec Louverdis said Council was also aware of the research regarding insurance retreat discussed in a recent report for the
ncitycouncil
WEDNESDAY 6 October 2021 17
Deep South National Science Challenge. “The report states that insurance companies work with annual exceedance probabilities (AEPs) to decide what to charge for coverage and when to stop insuring a property. It refers to anecdotal evidence from the insurance industry that suggests partial insurance retreat begins to occur when the likelihood of an event reaches the 2% AEP threshold, and full insurance retreat will have occurred by the time this reaches 5% AEP (one-in-20-year occurrence). New buildings designed to be above 1% AEP flood levels at 2130, like the library, are not expected to be subject to insurance retreat over this time frame.” A timeline for the library project is expected to be discussed at a Council meeting on 5 October.
Glossary RL 4.0m: RL stands for Reduced Level. The 4.0m, in this case, is relative to New Zealand Vertical Datum, which is a baseline for measuring elevation in a standardised manner used by surveyors. At Nelson, the New Zealand Vertical Datum is 0.17m above Mean Sea level. AEP flood event: The Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) expresses the likelihood or probability of an event of a given size or larger occurring in any year; usually expressed as a percentage. Without consideration of climate change, a 1% AEP flood event has a 1% chance of occurring in any year, or over a long period of time, an event of similar size may occur, on average, once every 100 years. Temperature increase and sea-level rise is predicted to increase the frequency and extent of coastal and river flooding over time – meaning that a rare event that would today be considered to have a 1% chance of occurring in any year, may have a 5% or 10% or higher chance of occurring in any year in the future. Future climate change is accounted for in Council’s river flood modelling and coastal inundation assessments by applying adjustments for predicted sea-level rise and additional rainfall intensity to the modelling of future 1% AEP flood events. RCP: Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) is a greenhouse gas concentration (not emissions) trajectory adopted by the IPCC. Four pathways were used for climate modelling and research for the IPCC fifth Assessment Report (AR5) in 2014. The pathways describe different climate futures, all of which are considered possible, depending on the volume of greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted in the years to come. Secondary flow path: The path along which surface water will follow if the primary drainage system (such as a piped network or open channel) becomes overloaded or inoperative.
Nelson City Council’s colourful hanging baskets will go up around the city this summer and we would love to have some volunteers to help us plant them. Morning and afternoon planting sessions will be available at the Nelmac Nursery on Atawhai Drive from 11 - 13 October. If you would like to volunteer as a hanging basket planter, call Council's Customer Service Centre on (03) 546 0200 or email enquiry@ncc.govt.nz by Friday 8 October to register.

I am trained to find creative solutions and to think ‘outside the box.’” Sit down with Bella and she will come up with unique solutions which are customised especially for you. “Everyone has their own branding and style, which makes every project different.” For as long as she can remember, Bella’s passion has been for design, and after earning a Bachelor of Art in Interior Architecture from Curtin University of Technology in Perth and a Master of Design from Edinburgh Napier University, she has become a leading interior architect. Bella’s design approach is very people-focussed and empathetic; she is able to gauge her client’s needs in order to create effective and transformational space solutions. “Everything is possible,” says Bella. For an appointment, phone 021 268 2775. It’s been almost one year since Marianne Hart Biggs took over Baby on the Move, Nelson’s only specialist baby store. Marianne says, “because I have two children, my husband Glen and I were customers at the shop, and we always really admired it and were really appreciative of the service provided.” Marianne previously owned The Black Cab Company doing weddings and events and because she’s such a ‘people person,’ when the opportunity came up to own Baby on the Move, she felt ready for a new challenge. After meeting other NZ franchise owners, she knew it was the right choice and is absolutely loving the change of direction. Marianne has a solid background in administration, organisation and financial services, but “it always comes back to the people.” “I love that Baby on the Move is a trusted brand which is more than just products – we offer hire services, trusted advice and knowledge born out of experience, because we’re all mums and aunties in the shop – an all female team with an amazing connection with each other and we want our customers to feel that too.” Located at Port Nelson, Baby on the Move is Nelson’s one stop baby shop.
Anna moved to Nelson from the UK in 2002 and feels very privileged to be living in such a beautiful part of the world and feels proud to call Nelson her home. Having run her own business in the UK, upon arrival in NZ she decided to change direction in her career and that’s when she discovered her passion for the funeral industry. She became a qualified funeral director in 2012. “Integrity, professionalism and transparency is at the heart of what we do”, she says, “and gently guiding families at a time that can be stressful is a real privilege. Being able to listen to what families want and need, and for them to know that they are being cared for by a team that share the same values is what I love most of all.” You can call in to see Anna or one of the team at 69 Haven Road, Nelson or 276b Queen Street (Petrie Carpark), Richmond, or phone 03 539 0066 / 03 929 5145.
Wendy Kingston is a Nelson-based graphic and web designer who is passionate about creativity and uniqueness. “I’ve been doing graphics and web design on and off for a couple years while studying at NMIT, then last year I launched into full-time selfemployment,” says Wendy. “I really love working with family-run businesses, small businesses and start-ups, and working with someone with a fun idea or wants to rebrand. I love being able to collaborate with my Wendy Kingston clients and encourage their creativity.” Business owners are welcome to meet with Wendy to brainstorm their ideas, plans and dreams. “I like to come up with creative design that’s really special, unique and ‘standout’, with maximum visibility and branding that people will remember.” Wendy is currently working on a launch for a pet product and her portfolio of design work includes some well-known local companies.

Flaxmore Lifecare Manager loving her Care Home family. Deethu Devasia joined Flaxmore Lifecare in 2017, having completed her masters in Business Management in India. Deethu showed incredible talent for working in aged care and her passion was born. “I never thought I would work in aged care, but now I wouldn’t even consider anything else,” says Deethu. In her last few years at Flaxmore, she has learned that every day is different and that it’s so important to fit into the resident’s day rather than the resident fit into hers. “My day-
to-day life is their day-to-day life. It’s all about making everything we do come from what they themselves want for that day,” she says. Deethu says the connection with families is so important, and a huge part of her life at Flaxmore Lifecare. “The Flaxmore families are so vital when it comes to articulating and feeding back on our residents’ needs. They have become my family,” she says. Gold Card holder? Archgola Nelson has an amazing offer just for you! “Up until 31st October, all of our gold card customers

Nelson Bed’s director, Dave Bary, can help guide you through choosing the right option. “We find people appreciate comfort more as they get older and luxurious pillow top mattresses are popular. So too are ‘his and hers’ beds, and zip apart mattresses.” The ‘his and hers’ option works perfectly if you like different mattress qualities to your partner, and because Dave and his team make their beds right here in Nelson, they can custom make one to suit you both – soft on one side, firm on the other.

Dan’s dream becomes virtual reality Jonty Dine
Football: A forgettable season has come to an end in fitting fashion for Nelson Suburbs. Any hopes of ending its Southern League campaign with an upset win were thwarted in the final five minutes as two late goals gave Selwyn United an unlikely come from behind victory. Suburbs appeared to have held Selwyn to a draw until an ugly melee inside the box saw the ball find the net in the final act of the game. Skipper Sam Ayers says it was a disappointing way to end a disappointing season.

Like most Kiwi kids, Dan George grew up believing he was destined to be an All Black. As he realised his talent didn’t quite match his sporting ambitions though, this dream appeared to be permanently lost for the Victory Primary School principal. However, Dan got the chance set to virtually suit up in the iconic black jersey, albeit as an digital version of himself. He was chosen to be part of an ‘Alt Blacks’ team along with 22 other everyday Kiwis who became videogame versions of themselves. Players were controlled by current All Blacks against their South African counterparts in the video game ‘Rugby Challenge 4’ on Saturday night. Dan’s character played in the number 14 jersey and the Alt Blacks won the test 7-0. “They chucked me on the right wing, so I was hoping I might score a few tries.

Dan George was turned into a virtual version on himself to play in the inaugural ‘Alt Blacks team’ last weekend. Photo: Kate Russell. “I don’t think I’ve played on the wing since I was 11-years-old.” Because his body isn’t quite what it used to be, Dan wanted creators to add a bit of bulk to his avatar’s frame. “I had to send in a heap of different angles so they could make me as realistic as possible. I was hoping they might beef up my muscles a little bit.” Having started playing rugby as a five-year-old, the black jersey
has always been a goal for Dan. “I guess this is the closest I’m ever going to get.” Dan had some friends over for a barbecue and some beers to watch his international onscreen debut. A number of his students were also looking forward to seeing their principal in action. Dan has his mother to thank for his selection as she was the one who originally nominated him.
Harriers: Organisers of Saturday’s Sprig & Fern 10k Fun Run and Walk, Waimea Harriers, were thrilled with the support from locals and Nelson / Tasman athletes for their Motueka Event. Weather conditions were near perfect, warm and sunny, with just a stiff breeze challenging the 83 participants as they headed back from their circuit around the Motueka Estuary into beautiful Thorp Bush, where the race started and finished. Brian Grant was the clear winner, with Edward
Hohepa and Chris Sharland second and third, respectively. Angela Leck was the fastest woman, finishing ahead of Catherine Delaporte and Isla Hill. Alan West led the walker’s home, followed by Steve Pauling and Bevan Cook. The third race in the series will be on Saturday in Brightwater. Bowls: Sunday September 3 saw the final of the Richmond Bowling Club Men’s Championship Triples played after two days of keenly contested matches and after 16 ends the final match was tied. The necessary extra end was won by the trio of Steve Ford, Dave Walker, Barry Chinnery to claim the title for 2021-22, runners up were Tom Paton, Peter Bartlett and Gus Cuthbertson. Sports Awards: The 2021 ASB Nelson Sports Awards will be held online as a virtual event and launched on Friday 3 December. One of Sport Tasman’s signature events of the year, the ultimate accolade of the evening is the ASB Sportsperson of the Year who is determined to be the overall winner from the winners of the eight categories.

s w e N g n i h s Fi President gets a boat ...temporarily Phil Chilton
Photos: Evan Barnes and Barry Whitnall Shuttersport.co.nz
It might sound a bit unusual for the president of a fishing club to not actually have a boat of any kind. But at one point, I very nearly did. It all started with a phone call from my cousin down in Invercargill telling me he’d bought a boat, and would I mind picking it up for him from Havelock when I got a chance. We would then organise for it to get down to Christchurch when the opportunity arose, in the meantime it was mine to use as I wanted. Imagine being given the keys to a 605 Stabi with twin 90’s on the back to use as your own for a couple of months- excited! Then Covid came along again, causing delay after delay before I could get over to Havelock to pick it up. Finally, the levels got down to the point that we were allowed
to get out on the water again and I wouldn’t have to risk a story to the boys and girls in blue about how transporting a boat across ‘borders’ was an essential service. So Thursday was the day for pick up. I had a meeting with a builder that afternoon and he mentioned that he was heading down to Christchurch on Friday morning to go racing but he didn’t need to tow his race trailer down as a mate was taking it for him. You can probably see where this is going. I foolishly asked if he would be ok to tow a boat down for me to which he replied “yes” (bugger). So, for a very brief 3.5 hour period I had a boat behind my ute that I towed straight to Mapua to drop off without even getting a chance to look inside, much less get it out on the water. President doesn’t have a boat again.

Macca makes mark with Mako Jonty Dine Reporter
jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz
It was two weeks ago when Macca Springer was sitting on the bench watching the Mako taking on Waikato. He says he was feeling relaxed. However, with more than 20 minutes on the clock, Macca was told to start warming up. “It was a pretty normal day, the nerves were good the whole game then I got the message and they hit me.” Once he got on the field, though,
ROUND 6
the talented prodigy looked right at home. “It’s been my dream since I started getting really into rugby to make the Mako side, I didn’t think it would be a year out of school though.” His first act as a Mako came from a set move with the 19-year-old getting over the gain line “I just didn’t want to get smoked first touch.” Macca says he did not expect to play as long as he did, enjoying almost a quarter of the Trafalgar Park match on the wing. “It’s been pretty unbelievable.
Wellington vs Canterbury
Hawke’s Bay vs Tasman
Obviously, a bit bittersweet with some of the boys getting injured but the whole week was just unreal.” Despite the limitation on crowd numbers, Macca’s parents, nana and former first XV coach all managed to get in the ground to see his debut. Unfortunately, his debut was marred as the Mooloos broke the Mako’s three-year winning streak at Trafalgar Park. While he says he is still adjusting to the increased speed and physicality of the professional game, he feels “pretty comfortable”.
Otago vs Taranaki
But last Sunday against Southland, Macca had another chance to make an impression. And he took it - soaring in the air to claim a Mitch Hunt cross-kick before stepping the cover and showing his speed to go in for his first Mako try. The Waimea College product looked assured on the left wing as the Tasman Mako bounced back from the Mooloo loss in commanding fashion in Blenheim with a 51-14 victory over Southland. Tasman’s defence was suffocating, applying relentless pressure
at both breakdown and in general play. The match served as perfect preparation for Tasman who are just days away from a long-awaited Ranfurly Shield challenge against Hawke’s Bay, just the third in the union’s history. Head coach Andrew Goodman would not be drawn on speculating how Sunday’s effort featured in terms of preparation for the forthcoming shield challenge, suggesting it would be a vastly different scenario at McLean Park. Andrew says he and the players can’t wait.

Throughout the 1840s, the New Zealand Company continued to send labourers to the Nelson settlement despite a lack of jobs. At first, many were employed by the Company to build roads and clear swamps. But by late 1844,
funds ran out and the labourers were sacked and left to their own devices. Some landowners came to the rescue, employing as many as they could, but it meant ‘hard times’ for local labourers.
