‘Man-trap’ takes out cyclist

School mates backing Liam’s Rio dream Andrew Board Liam Malone’s journey to qualify for Rio has benefited from some very supportive Kiwis. And his big moment inside the Olympic stadium won’t be any different, with around eight of his old school friends from Birchwood Primary School set to make the journey to Brazil to watch him compete in the

Paralympics. Liam started his journey to Rio shortly after losing his mother to cancer. The double amputee says he was spending his days “on the piss and smoking too much weed”. It was a depression triggered by his mother’s death, but Liam says he knew to get out of it, he had to set himself a goal that would influence his day-to-day life. “I thought of setting up a

business or climbing Mt Cook, but the Paralympics was something that, in short period of time, I could achieve a huge amount of personal growth, and day-to-day it would affect me because I would have to be healthy and be training. And it’s challenging, it had to be challenging.” The first thing Liam needed was a pair of “blades” which Para-

lympians run on. He launched a campaign to raise the $20,000 needed. New Zealanders donated $50,000. Liam says that was a “defining moment”. “If that didn’t happen I don’t know how viable it would have been. It was so humbling, in fact I shed a few tears the night that it ended, it was really generous.”

Nelson police says the person who put a rope across the Tasman Great Taste Trail on Rabbit Island that injured a cyclist, effectively set a “mantrap” and could face a maximum of five years imprisonment. Well-known Nelson cyclist Chris Sharland was cruising along the trail adjacent to Ken Beck Dr on May 29 when the rope hit him across the chest, bringing to him a sudden stop and sending him flying off his bike. Although Chris was stunned by the impact and suffered extensive bruising to both his arms, he was relieved that nobody else had been injured by the senseless act. “I wasn’t going full gas because I was just warming down from a race, so that was lucky. I was doing about 25kmh and it hit me across the chest and knocked me backwards - I didn’t see it at all. “I’m quite tall so it’s just lucky it wasn’t a shorter rider or a young kid or they could have been hit in the throat or head. Someone could have been seriously injured. “I’ve been riding bike all my life and I’ve never seen anything like that. It’s a pretty rank thing for someone to do.”

That generosity has also kept Liam focussed, not wanting to let donors down. Three years on, Liam has fulfilled the first part of his goal and has qualified for the Rio Games. Until recently he was ranked number one in the world for the 400 metres with a time of 48.28, but an American runner beat his time late last month. The world record is 45.07, held by Oscar Pistorius. Nevertheless, Liam will head to Rio with a realistic chance of Gold. It’s the only colour medal he is gunning for. “I’d be disappointed

with anything other than gold, but in saying that it will be really hard. But I’d rather feel devastated for aiming for the top and not getting it than feel satisfied just for being there.” Liam is squeezing in training amongst his university studies and is “excited” for the games. And when Liam does get to the Paralympics, his mates will be in the stands. Eight of his friends, most dating back to their time together at Birchwood Primary School in Stoke, have booked tickets to the games. Liam says it will be great having them on board. “I’ve known them for most

of my life and we are definitely like family, so it’s great they’ll be there.” Also in the stands will be his father Murray. And back home in Nelson Liam will have thousands of locals who donated towards his blades, cheering him on. “That’s the thing really, I just want to say thank you to everyone who helped me out. Everyone who donated back then and has been supportive since. It’s been awesome.” Liam will compete in the 100 metre, 200 metre and 400 metre events at the Paralympics, which are being held in Rio de Janeiro from September 7 to 18.

‘Man-trap’ takes out cyclist at Rabbit Island FROM PAGE 1 Nelson police senior sergeant Blair Hall says the person who put the rope across the cycle trail had set a “man-trap” which was regarded as a serious crime. He says the law states that anyone who “sets or places, or causes to be set or placed, any trap or device that is likely to injure any person” is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years. Blair suspects the rope was set in place as a prank by children or young teenagers who had not thought about the consequences of their actions. “We take this type of thing seriously, especially when it was placed across such a popular public cycleway,” Blair says. “It could have caused a serious injury so we’d like to hear from anyone who knows anything about it.” Blair says if anyone sees “something like this”, they need to remove the hazard and report it to police.

Family home destroyed by fire A Richmond family arrived home to find their house completely gutted by fire, early Saturday morning. Just before 8am the home on Chisnall St went up in flames, with heavy grey smoke visible across Richmond and Stoke. Fire units were alerted by neighbours who opened their curtains to see smoke billowing from the windows.

Alan Rolf who lives in the house opposite ran across the road in his pyjamas and knocked on the outside wall of the main bedrooms as another neighbour called 111. “Smoke was flowing out the windows, the smoke alarms were going off and I banged on the walls and windows. My heart was pounding for them, I was really worried

they were in there, especially when I saw one of the cars was still there. They’re a hard-working family, they’re up working at the market garden at sunrise and don’t come back until sunset so no one was home, it’s a blessing.” Fire crews told the Weekly that the fire appeared to have originated in the back half of the home.

Science whizz off to USA space camp Andrew Board Editor

andrew@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Will Hewitt’s passion for science and engineering isn’t news to anyone who knows him. He tops his year group in science, works part time at an electronics company and spends his spare time “tinkering” with engineering projects. So the Nelson College student’s latest achievement shouldn’t be much of a shock either – he’s been selected to head to Space Camp in the United States as part of a nine day course. The lack of surprise shouldn’t take away from how prestigious it is, though. Will is one of only four students in New Zealand to be selected and 70 per cent of his costs are covered by the Royal Society of New Zealand. In total, 100 students from 35 countries will attend the camp. His science teacher Tristan Riley says it’s a big deal for the school. “Will’s one of our top students,” he says. “It’s really

America is a place I’ve always wanted to go.”

He says he’s looking forward to the camp where he will meet students from other countries, get to use a piloting simulator and learn about space from some top scientists. But he says the highlight will be “doing backflips in the low gravity simulator”. After the camp in Alabamba, Will will head to California

The polluted Calwell Slipway is ranked fourth on the government’s list of contaminated sites, but that’s about to change. Last week, MP Nick Smith announced the government will be forking out $4.2 million, just over half of the bill for the remedial works required to clean-up the Port Nelson site. The slipway is highly contaminated by copper and tributyltin, commonly used in the boatbuilding industry, particularly in the shallower sections. “This historic contamination problem in the Nelson Haven is a blight on our reputation as one of New Zealand’s cleanest and greenest regions,” says Nick. The Nelson City Council and Port Nelson joint project involves stabilising the sediments in cement to form mudcrete, so they are contained and cannot pollute the Haven. The work is expected to take eight months. “These sorts of clean-up projects are technically very challenging,” says Nick. “The clean-up at Mapua was badly mismanaged. Important lessons have been learned and subsequent clean-ups have been successful.” Today’s $4.2 million comes on top of $317,000 for previous grants to support the investigation and planning phases of the project.

Sewing classes need more machines What started as an offer to provide a free service to mend old clothes has grown into two sewing classes at the Tahunanui Community Centre – and, in turn, a shortage of sewing machines. Margie Norriss-Brown lives not far from the Tahunanui Community Centre so thought it would be a nice idea to offer a mending service for local families on a tight budget. That soon progressed to running a class, which saw three ladies and a bloke turn up for the first session, outstripping Margie’s supply of just two sewing machines. “There’s obviously a need, but

we need more sewing machines, desperately.” Margie is hoping a shout-out through the paper will prompt a donation from locals of “anything sewing”. “I’m hoping some people have machines hiding in their wardrobes that they don’t want anymore. Or an over-locker, thread, scissors, an iron, ironing board, anything to do with sewing really. As long as it is in working order.” Margie says the attendees have been very enthusiastic. “The young women who have come along have been quite excited, it’s been lovely.” She says it was a skill that she

used as a mother and wife and is hoping that it might be able to help families. “It’s saved me a lot of money of the years and helped the economy of the family. That’s what started it, I thought I could help families who are not on a high income.” Jacqui Irwin of the Tahunanui Community Centre says the classes, called Sew it Up, are held twice a day every Tuesday. “It becomes a social thing, and it’s as simple as people sharing a practical skill.” Anyone with a machine to donate, or if you’re interested in attending the class, call the community centre on 5486036.

Opinion: Don't let us down Jetstar Locally Owned and Operated

When Jetstar came, we rejoiced. As a region we practically begged the low-cost airline to start flying to Nelson. A quick search through previous copies of the Nelson Weekly and you will find articles stretching back to 2011 quoting locals frustrated with Air New Zealand’s virtual monopoly of airspace above Nelson and urging Jetstar to take up routes to the region. Six months ago they did and the results are mixed. Yes, Jetstar has undoubtedly helped make Nelson buzz. The

number of people in the region this summer and since has been noticeably higher than previous years, and tourism operators say they’ve noticed an increase to their bottom line. That is a huge success, not just for Jetstar but also for our region. But – and as a huge supporter of the airline coming here, this pains me to write – there have been some shocking blows to the airline’s image in Nelson after a series of what should have been minor incidents, dealt with ap-

Breakfast meeting raises $3000 for rescue helicopter While a cooked breakfast may delight the tastebuds, the Business Breakfast Club also delighted the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter, donating over $3000 to the charity. After an internal reassessment, the networking Business Breakfast Club wanted to mix things up, making meetings a rarer event and using them to support local charities. Chairman Craig Peattie says the breakfast held at the Rutherford Hotel on June 26 was extremely successful. “Over 80 people were there and it was well supported, people are definitely wanting more of the same so we’ll hold our next one in August.” Among the auction items were two, one hour blocks of time donated by the region’s mayors, Rachel Reese and Richard Kempthorne. Craig says supporting the rescue helicopter makes it all worthwhile. “The importance of the rescue helicopter charity to the community is huge, they’re a vital service but they’re having to scrape for every cent they get, each mission costs $3500 and they’re doing over 470 missions a year, so it’s good to help.”

pallingly. The latest was recounted firsthand to me over the weekend. It included a local lady leaving her iPad on a flight from Nelson to Auckland. She was last off the flight so knew it couldn’t have been stolen. Calls, emails and more calls to Jetstar later, she was told the one person that had the key for lost and found was on

leave and there was nothing more that could be done. Most of the frustrating phone calls were answered in the Philippines. This went on for days. Finally, it was a Nelson-based Jetstar staffer who came to the rescue and organised the return of the iPad. You may be saying, so what? No big deal. She shouldn’t have left the iPad on the plane in the first place. And you’d be right. But this isn’t the only incident that has come to our attention over the

past few months. I won’t go into them here and I remain a fan of Jetstar. I flew with them as recently as last month and enjoyed it. I know things go wrong, but it’s in the fixing of them that counts and I’d urge Jetstar to remember that. I’m still an optimist. I’m still a fan of Jetstar. I just hope the rest of Nelson agrees with me, because more incidents like the one highlighted will only turn air travellers off the airline and back into the arms of Air New Zealand.

Assaults and pathetic acts to cause harm to others. Disgusting! Jewels Mckenna. Fluoridation is money down the drain: Why is our pure water going out of the country to sell and we are paying for tainted water that we need to drink. I myself can not get my head around this aspect, of our water supply we only use one per cent for human consumption. The rest goes down the drain by toilets, showers, cleaning, watering our gardens, etc. That also means that 99 per cent of costs of the fluoridation plan goes down the drain. The latest plan of the government is to fluoridate the remaining parts of New Zealand. The costs of it being $200 million, meaning that $198 million goes down the drain. A lot of money that could be spent on educating parents who spoil their kids rotten with sugar and Powerade drinks. As the three big cities have had waterfluoridation for a while and there are still rotten teeth, it is clear that this new action is a big waste. Franceska Francina.

Tom specialises in advanced stain removal and is able to remove many tough and stubborn problems such as cordials and other colour dyes. UV lights, moisture metres and other specialised equipment also help Tom to properly treat and eliminate pet urine problems including nasty odours.

provide fast dry times all year round and should you want to take advantage of even speedier dry times they can also offer portable commercial dehumidifiers and carpet dryers for hire. “We used Intensive Carpet Clean in our rental property. I have a little dog that was being extremely naughty and using the carpet as her toilet. I had cleaned up after her constantly but just could not get the smell or stains out completely. Tom did a fantastic job and got every single mark and stain off the carpet. I would highly recommend Tom. Fantastic, friendly and very professional, will definitely be using their services again when needed.” D. Smith Business Update. Adv.

Scholarship helps NMIT student make the cut Simon Bloomberg

A scholarship from Nelson Pine Industries is helping Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology student Laura Reynolds trim a few dollars off her student loan, as she pursues her dream of becoming a hairdresser. Laura was one of 120 NMIT students who received scholarships, worth a total of $250,000, at ceremonies in Nelson and Blenheim last week. The scholarships were awarded to students in a range of programmes with Laura receiving $500 from Nelson Pine Industries to help her complete a Certificate in Advanced Professional Hairdressing. Laura started the two-year course last year and passed all her first-year subjects with flying colours. The 21-yearold Nayland College graduate applied for the NMIT scholarship in April this year and was delighted when she found out she had been suc-

"It's $500 which doesn't sound like much, but when you are a student it's a really big help." Laura says was interested in hair dressing as a career and so, after working in a supermarket for three years, decided to enrol in NMIT. "I always wanted to study but wasn't sure what I wanted to do so I decided to wait and work save some money first. I'm enjoying the course although there's a lot more theory than I thought because

you are working with chemicals - there's a lot of science behind everything." Laura plans to complete her study this year before finishing her practical training in Nelson. The NMIT scholarships are sponsored by Constellation Brands, Nelson Pine Industries, King Salmon, Kaiapa (Uncle) Jack Kohe, Pene Ruruku, Toss Woollaston, Blenheim Lions, Garden Marlborough, Marlborough Zonta and Uncle George Martin.

MATARIKI 2016: Preparations for Victory’s annual Matariki celebrations are well underway, with some of Victory Primary School’s youngest students getting in the spirit of things outside the community centre last Thursday, with lanterns, stars, torches and books they have been reading. Matariki will be held on Wednesday 15 June, starting from 3:30pm at the Victory Community Centre, with the children from Victory Primary School telling the stories connected to the legend of Matariki. This will be followed by free soup and rolls outside the centre and then the famous lantern parade up the nearby Railway Reserve. A lantern-making workshop will be held this Saturday, 11 June, from 2-3pm where children can create their own unique lantern for $2. Photo: Kate Russell.

“EVERYONE KNOWS MY MOLLY.”

For Tahunanui Kindergarten’s head teacher Linda Hansen, there is considerable sadness about her approaching last day this Friday. After all, she was brought up on Golf Road, and attended Tahunanui Kindergarten and school. Further on, after attending teacher’s college, her children attended Tahunanui Kindergarten and she’s spent 17 of the last 20 years teaching full-time there. Now, Linda is about to embark on to what she calls “phase two”, which involves her taking up a job at Richmond’s Waverly Street Kindergarten. But she says her heart will always be in Tahunanui. “If you are a Crusaders fan, you’ll understand me when I say ‘consider me the Andy Ellis of kindergarten’,” says Linda. Starting at the kindergarten as a teacher in 1996, Linda became the head-teacher in 2005 and says she has seen many changes over the years. “The building was brought

into the 21st century in the early 2000s – it was built in the 1960s so it’s probably about the same age as me,” she says. “The outdoor area has changed a lot, and it’s a lot warmer than it was when I attended – but it still has an exceptionally good relationship with Tahunanui School. We’re got a great education hub here and I’m going to miss that,” she says. Linda says that she still keeps in touch with some of the children she taught, who have now graduated from university. She has also seen six siblings go through the kindergarten, with the youngest having now turned five. Linda says it’s only now that she’s leaving that she has realised how attached she is to the place, but she says she is looking forward to a new chapter in her teaching career. “I updated my qualifications to

“I really am so happy here.” When Bev found out she was able to bring her mini schnauzer Molly to her Summerset retirement village, she was thrilled. “Molly is very important to me, I wouldn’t have wanted to make the move without her.” After being at Summerset for only a few months, Bev was surprised at how quickly she settled into village life. She really likes the feeling that she’s secure and that help is always at hand should she need it. She says that living at Summerset has given her a great sense of relief, “Now I can relax.”

a degree in 2013, and that was the plan – to reduce my level of responsibility over time,” she says. “Children and families are the same wherever you teach – there’s always something you can do to help them and I’m looking forward to meeting new children and families,” she says. “The biggest thing is the different ways you can help people in the job. You see, you can really make a difference for a lot of people.” Linda says she feels “incredibly lucky”. “I’ve worked with great people and I’ve probably learnt more that I’ve ever taught,” she says. “It’s nice to be going out on a high.” Linda’s last day is Friday 10th June, and there is an afternoon tea being held for Linda tomorrow afternoon from 3 - 4pm at Tahunanui Kindergarten for anybody wanting to join in the farewell and celebration of Linda’s new phase.

Osprey and The Outboard Shop make the ultimate marine partnership, now enjoying new premises within Stoke's Echodale Pl. The move took place at the start of May this year, offering the team a far better location than their previous St Vincent St workshop, a bigger yard and better access for customers dropping off and picking up their boats. Lloyd Elliott, owner and operator of Osprey, is now in his twenty-second year of business and while Osprey has become a popular and reputable boat brand, having built around 800 boats so far, there are still those out there unaware of the quality option available to them when they’re searching for the perfect marine vessel. "I went to one of the Blackcaps games when they played at Saxton Oval. I was sitting with some guys I went to school with who Dennis Ellmers from The Outboard Shop and Lloyd Elliott from Osprey Boats have been partners in business for around two years. live in Nelson, one of them had never heard of Osprey boats. He lives about half a kilometre away from where we're making them and the other didn't know they were made in Nelson," says Lloyd. Lloyd isn't just the owner and operator, he's also the founder

of Osprey boats, which are made and designed here in Nelson by local fabricators, ranging from four metres up to eight and a half metres. The Osprey team specialises in creating customised boats to meet people's specific requirements, including bait boards, rod holders, winches and seating.

wind up disappointed with their purchase because it doesn't meet their expectations, buying from Osprey means purchasing straight from the factory, allowing people to track their boat's manufacture, take photos and consult with the team throughout the process. Lloyd says a lot of workplace satisfaction comes from "seeing people come in and get what they want. As soon as construction starts we have people coming in to take photos, even from Blenheim and Auckland with their kids and grandkids. That's the enjoyment side of it.”

Osprey doesn’t just cater to clients within New Zealand either, their name has travelled across the ditch to Australia and, with every boat built to commercial standards, Lloyd and the team are often manufacturing craft for clients such as Abel Tasman Water Taxis, for which two are currently being made, DOC, and soon the team will be creating their biggest boat yet, it’s destination – Milford, where it will be ferrying people from the end of the Milford track. As well as new boat builds, Osprey offers structural repairs and are more than happy to fit your wish list of extras onto your

existing boat. The team have also designed and created a new boat trailer, the majority of their boats now leaving the factory on what they have branded ELERT, (easy launch, easy retrieval trailer). By simply driving on to the trailer, the boat is centred and automatically latched on. When it comes launching, the boat is driven forward until the latch releases and off you go. Once the boat has progressed through the factory to the point of being fitted out, The Outboard Shop’s Dennis Ellmers steps in to install the electronics and the outboard. Dennis has vast

It's been 50 years since Barry Galbraith Senior formed Galbraith plasterers in 1965 and while the business successfully earned a reputation for quality workmanship, plastering literally thousands of homes and commercial buildings within the top of the south, Galbraith's has never stood still in its aim to provide a superior service. When Barry Galbraith junior and his wife Nicky took over the business in 1999, what had once just been Galbraith plas-

terers soon grew to include expert painters, plasterers, brick and block layers, stone masons, as well as specialists in abrasive blasting, industrial coatings and powder coating, and most recently, the incorporation of Nelson Contracting into what is now known as the Galbraith Group. The expansion into these additional trade areas was due to a building boom at the time and saw the team go from around three to 25 within the space of four or five years. In

fact, at one stage Galbraith's was the biggest employer of brick and block layers in Nelson and has been involved in a number of small and large, private and commercial projects around the region. "My dad was a very good tradesman, he earned a good name in business and I’ve just tried to maintain that, I guess," says Barry. "You just don’t make promises you can’t keep." In 2003, Galbraith painting Limited started operating so that Galbraith's could offer a complete package, beginning with the plastering of a house right through

VIVIAN PL Do you want to reduce your power bill, invest your money with better % than the bank AND make the world a better place for the future? Then talk to Current Generation about installing a grid connected solar system that will make you feel warm inside and put $$$ in your pocket. Current Generation are Nelson’s alternative energy specialist & they walk the talk with their Pascoe St premises running off a PV solar system. Grid Tie Solar is an alternative power system designed for your home where you are still connected to mains power (or grid). Solar panels produce electricity from the sun during the day that can be used directly in your home to power lights and appliances, thereby reducing your electricity bill. At night you draw your electricity from the power company in the normal way. When the system is generating more electricity than is needed, during the day when no one is home for example, you could be paid for the surplus. Each electricity retailer has their own terms and conditions for buying excess electricity. The price that they offer per kilowatt hour (kWh), called the buyback price, will vary. At present Contact Energy offer 8 cents per unit and Meridian offer 7 cents for the first 5 units per day and 10 cents for every unit after that. It is very safe, reliable and effective, requiring no moving parts, it emits no carbon dioxide, fumes or

MERTON PL

pollution, and the panels will typically produce power for at least 25-30 years.

Nelson’s English language programme gets a boost English language education for Nelson and Marlborough’s newest refugees and migrants has been given a boost, thanks to a $6500 donation from the Nelson Bays Community Foundation. The NBCF formed a partnership with the Tindall Foundation last year, aimed at supporting the family and social services sector across the top of the South Island. They announced their first funding round late last month of four donations, totalling $28,000. The donation has been gifted to English Language Partners Nelson Marlborough, who delivers English language programmes to adult refugees and migrants living in the top of the South Island. It will assist with the coordination of their programmes and to purchase of resources, which Birgit Grafarend-Watungwa, operations manager of ELP New Zealand says are “very much needed” due to a growing number of students.

Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

“They will definitely be put to good use,” says Birgit. “An increasing number of learners arriving with the annual refugee quota are settling in Nelson, many have low levels of spoken English and literacy,” she says. “There has also been an increase in the number of learners on work and holiday visas wanting to access ELP services.” Birgit says the donation means they can better resource the programmes they offer, and provide a greater variety of resources which can be used to enhance the teaching in ELP programmes, such as visual resources for learners with low levels of literacy. She says it will also allow them to “branch out” in the use of technology. NBCF Executive Officer, David Kerr, says that one of their

goals with The Tindall Foundation is to assist migrants, refugees and people of other cultures to participate fully in society and to express their cultures and unique attributes as assets for themselves, their communities and New Zealand. “NBCF were impressed with the work of the local ELP team helping migrants and refugees to settle in our communities,” he says. “Having spent large parts of their lives in refugee camps, some refugees coming to this region are pre-literate, meaning they may not be able to read or write in their own language. This adds a significant level of complexity for the ELP team helping these new residents to fully interact in the English language.” The next round under the funding partnership closes 16 August 2016 and details of the application criteria can be found on tindall.org.nz and nbcf.org.nz.

Brook Sanctuary and Natureland come to an understanding

Sun Sensors executive team, from left, Sam Scott, Tom Lee, Jordan Boyd, Connor Coulter and Caleb Jones, display their concept at the BP Business Challenge at Waimea College last Friday. Photo: Simon Bloomberg.

‘Young gums’ win business challenge A sugar-free, vegan, chewing gum that provides three-quarters of a person’s daily iron requirement, was the winning concept among a host of innovative ideas developed by young Nelson entrepreneurs at Waimea College last week. Forty, year 10 and 11 students from Waimea College and Nelson College for Girls, spent three days working for virtual companies to develop their products as part of the BP Business Challenge. The nationwide programme is aimed at developing the skills required in the real business world with students teaming up in companies to research, develop and market their products.

After two days of brainstorming, the companies had to deliver a 10-minute presentation of their budget, marketing plan and production outline to judges on Friday. Waimea College’s Summer Pritchard, Ashleigh Sumner, Sean Sharp, Alex Bloomberg and Daniel Rogers won the challenge after their company, Team Veagum, developed a vegan supplementary gum, trademarked I Chew. A UV sensitive strip that can be incorporated into sunscreen bottles to indicate how much sunscreen needs to be applied, a microemergency locator beacon that can be attached to clothing, light-weight impact-resistant sportswear and a

time-lock lunch box were some of the other products developed by the students’ companies. “It’s a great opportunity to get students working with others, both from different year groups and other schools,” teacher Yvonne Daly says. “Students learn how to solve problems, develop their communication skills and team-work - they also learn how to manage themselves.” The students’ projects were judged by Anne Harvey of NMIT Young Enterprise, Sarah Holmes of Nelson Tasman Business Trust, Nikki Ryan of You Realty and Jeffrey Kohen of Now and Zen. Prizes were provided by Subway, Stefanos Pizza, NBS and McDonalds.

Two of the region’s conservation trusts have banded together to bring kaka right to our doorstep. Natureland Wildlife Trust and the Brook Waimarama Sanctuary Trust have just signed a Memorandum of Understanding to formally signify a new partnership, aiming to breed, raise and release kaka and other native birds back into the region. General Manager of the Brook Waimarama Sanctuary Trust, Hudson Dodd, thinks the two organisations will ‘dovetail nicely’. “The Brook Sanctuary’s plans for a captive breeding program for kaka dovetail nicely with Natureland’s objectives. “Between the two sites we’ll be able to significantly contribute to the populations of iconic birds like the kaka, as well as reintroducing other species to various locations across the Top of the South.” Natureland Wildlife Trust will use newly-built aviaries to establish a kaka breeding programme. The young birds will then

Natureland trustee and operator Meg Selby says the best conservation comes from teamwork and Natureland are proud to sign the MoU. “Combined with our joint experience in creating positive human-wildlife interactions, Natureland and the sanctuary can expand our achievements far beyond our physical boundaries. “That’s really exciting.” The new kaka aviaries at Natureland will be open for public viewing from Tuesday, June 21.

Nick's 10 under par equals club record Andrew Board

At nine under par and standing near the edge of the green on his last hole of the day, Nelson Golf Club professional Nick Loach thought he’d blown his recordequalling round. “I went for the hole and chipped it too hard, it went about 8 feet past the hole and I thought I’d stuffed it.” It left Nick, 22, with a tough birdie putt downhill to tie the course record at the club, a ten under 61, set by Sean Riordan, a fellow pro, who now plays on the Asian Development Tour.

Nick's scorecard from his record-equalling round last week.

Nick steadied himself, tried not to think about the enormity of his putt, and stroked the ball into the hole. His reaction? “Relief ”. “I really thought I’d blown it with my chip and I was just so relieved that I managed to sink the putt,” says Nick. After the putt came the high fives, the hugs and the beers. Nick says he couldn’t wipe the smile off his face. “I was grinning from ear-to-ear and I couldn’t sleep that night thinking about it. It was the best round of my life.” In his second year as a trainee golf pro, Nick says he’s been spending plenty of time doing book work for his course, meaning he has spent less time on the greens. “I think that’s what made it such a shock, it’s not like I’ve been playing a lot, it just came out of the blue.” The former Nelson College student says he was “striping” the ball all day but also had his share of luck. “The kicks were going my way and when I chipped in for an eagle on a par 5 I knew it was my day. Everything was going right.” That was until the final hole, the club’s 9th but Nick’s 18th that day after starting on the 10th hole with three others. “That final chip, I thought I go for the hole

Photo: Andrew Board. because if I got it, it would have been a new course record to myself. I had been aggressive all day and didn’t want to die wondering, so went for it. It was probably a bit silly but I was rapt to sink that last putt.”

Nick says it’s natural for golfers to be “greedy” and he did think of dropped shots elsewhere on the course. “But then I thought that I had so many go my way that I couldn’t really do that to myself. I played really well and equalled

the course record, I have to be happy with that.” As for his next challenge, Nick says he still has another 18 months of study and then he will reassess where his golfing future lies.

Racers back in the groove at Hope Simon Bloomberg

Slot car enthusiasts from around New Zealand will be testing their skill and endurance when they race in the annual Challenge Cup on the Nelson Slot Car Club’s new track at Hope this weekend. Around 50 racers will compete in the event which features qualifying on Friday night and two rounds of racing on Saturday. Racers will also line up in a twohour endurance race on Sunday with the fastest cars expected to hit speeds of up to 50kmh on the new six-lane track. Race organiser Tony Cook says it will be the first event on the new Bays Joinery Raceway that was installed late last month. The track cost about $12,000 and has a computer-controlled scoreboard that displays the

number of laps, lap times and the top and average speed for each car. Tony says the 1/32nd scale cars take around five seconds to complete a lap, hitting a top speed of 50kmh and a scale speed of closer to 400kmh. That means the cars will complete around 1200 laps of the new 19.5m track, or about 20km, during the two-hour endurance race on Sudnay. Although the cars are not the real thing, Tony says it’s not child’s play and takes a lot of skill simply to stay on the track. “It’s just like driving a car,” he says. “There’s a lot of skill in it and you can have some big crashes if you don’t get it right.” Tony says the event has attracted slot car enthusiasts from Auckland to Dunedin, with a strong Nelson contingent being led by defending champion Kerry Martin.

FLYING HIGH: Atkin Kaua in action for Nelson Suburbs in its 4-2 win over Ferrymead Bays at Saxton Field on Saturday. Atkin scored Suburbs’ first goal to put the home side ahead, before Ferrymead Bays scored two unanswered goals and after 30 minutes held a 2-1 lead. Then the fightback from Suburbs begun. First a header from defender Daniel Allen just before half time, then a tap in for Matt Tod-Smith and finally a curling shot from the recently-returned Ross McPhie. Suburbs are on 25 points in the Mainland Premier League, in third position and five points behind leaders Cashmere Tech. Photo: Chris Symes/Shuttersport.

Bringing back tournament paintball Jessie Johnston

Wayne and Kenny Stockdale of Armageddon Paintball are looking to put tournament paintball back in the limelight. Last Sunday six teams, each one made up of three players, from Christchurch, Blenheim and Nelson, competed against each other in a genre of paintball that is almost extinct, especially within the South Island. Tournament paintball has its roots in America, established around the 1990s to be a televised form of paintball, due to the sports high speed and frenzied game play, but the idea never took off. When Wayne and Kenny, who used to own the paintball business in Appleby, took over Armageddon, they decided to pull the inflatable bunkers out of storage, patch them up and put them back on the pitch. "Tournament paintball was hanging around in New Zealand about three years ago or so when I first started getting into it," says Kenny.

Armageddon Paintball's Kenny Stockdale, with team Outlaw, from left, Carey Harwood, Scott McFadyen and Joseph Lane, during their tournament on Sunday. Photo: Jessie Johnston. "It was more in the Ashburton, Dunedin areas, then it completely died out, so this is kind of the beginning, South Island wise, of it starting to come back, we hope so anyway."

CB125E

Being inflatable bunkers, unlike the popular solid barriers including tyres and buildings, the pitch can be set up in a number of different ways with the bunkers giving players an advantage when it

comes to seeking cover. Players also dress differently, more similar to motocross, with smaller, electric guns that fire a lot, very fast, although the paintball size and velocity remains the same.

Not everyone taking part on the day had previous experience with tournament paintball, and while the high-speed, full on game may not be everyone's cup of tea, "we'll take any paintball genre because it's our sport and our passion," says Wayne. "This is just one aspect that we're trying to develop because it's not happening [around the country]." The format for Sundays tournament was simple, starting at opposite ends of the field, players tried to eliminate the opposing team, when they achieved a clear field a flag in the centre of the pitch would be taken to the opposing end. "It's the adrenalin, when you come off the field your hands are shaking," says Nelson team, Outlaw. "And it's just that fast pace, it's different playing out here where it's so much more open and you've got to have your wits about you. It's fine running round in the bush and shooting lots of paint, but when you come out here it's a totally different ball game with more tactics involved."
