Desperate father’s plea to help son Charles Anderson Editor

The saga of a mentally ill Nelson man who is falling between the cracks of the health and justice

systems could be a “tragedy waiting to happen,” says Nelson MP Nick Smith. Patrick Awarangi, 26, is currently in jail awaiting a court date for the latest in a long string of violence offences. He has been identified

as being on the autism spectrum but does not fit the right criteria for supported living, something his father says he is desperate for. “Patrick has lived here but has wrecked the house and the cars,” Koro Awarangi says. “He is just

like a tornado.” Koro says Patrick needs a supported place where he can go home to no matter what sort of day he has had. He has a short temper that can quickly explode into a violent rage.

However, over the years Koro says he has been endlessly frustrated by the mental health system, which says Patrick’s disorder is not acute enough to warrant extra care.

A mental health clinic letter from the health board describes Patrick with having conduct disorder and an autism spectrum disorder but has not been diagnosed with any additional serious mental illness. Koro says he has been bounced around hundreds of meetings but to know avail. Then, when Patrick flies into a rage, including a violence charge against his own father, it is left to police to deal with, which Koro says is not fair on them either. “There is nowhere for him to go so Patrick gets to go to jail. They are using the justice system to sure up the shortfall in the mental health system.” Nelson MP Nick Smith says Patrick’s parents have gone to “incredible lengths” to help him.

Koro Awarangi says he has exhausted all avenues in trying to get help for his son. Photo: Charles Anderson. “Their home has been repeatedly damaged to the point they can’t get insurance and they have put their own safety at risk in trying to provide a refuge for Patrick. It is one of the most tragic constituency cases that I have dealt with.”

Nick says that Patrick was able to get a Housing New Zealand home but his behaviour was so aggressive towards his neighbours that they revoked the tenancy. “He keeps ending up in prison as a consequence of his aggression

ginning

and behaviour. He is one of these awful examples of someone falling between the mental health and justice systems.” Nick says he has repeatedly raised the issue with the district health board but they say it is for police and justice to deal with. He says the right answer for Patrick is specialist supported housing. “His is an exceptional and complex case but we need to get systems of government to work so that his family is not being put at risk, he is not repeatedly being locked up, but that we all keep the community safe.” He says he is incredibly frustrated that the family keep getting pushed “from pillar to post” within the public sector with each department saying it’s somebody else’s problem. “I worry that it’s just a tragedy waiting to happen.”

Man burgles woman while she reports crime Sara Hollyman

A woman went to the police station to report the burglary of her Stoke home, only to capture the same thief on camera robbing her home again. Adam Murray Anderson, 41, appeared in the Nelson District Court on Monday charged with the burglaries. The court was told how in October last year the 61-yearold woman, who lives alone, had told her neighbour where her spare key was as she was going on holiday. Sometime between February and July this year, she noticed, on at least four occasions, that money totalling $2300 had gone missing from her home. There was no sign of forced

entry, so she began to suspect Anderson, who was her neighbour’s partner. On July 23, the woman installed CCTV cameras in her home with a camera specifically placed in the bedroom. Just two days later, at 4pm on July 25, the cameras captured Anderson coming into her home while she was not there and searching through clothing drawers for something to steal. On this occasion he left empty handed. Upon arriving home, the woman reviewed the footage and the following day went to the police station to report the break-in. While she was there, CCTV again captured Anderson coming into her home.

While in the bedroom, he opened an underwear drawer where he found an envelope containing $50. He took two $10 notes and left. When the victim returned home, she reported the breakin to police. Duty lawyer Wayne Jones says Anderson was “absolutely disgusted” with his actions. Judge Richard Russell convicted Anderson on two charges of burglary and remanded him on bail until sentencing in September. “This is an absolute breach of trust ... that gives me real cause for concern about you, this is a vulnerable victim who has trusted you and you have badly breached that trust,” said Judge Russell.

Tim Skinner latest NEWS to run for mayor Sara Hollyman Reporter

sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Nelson City councillor Tim Skinner has become the fifth person to announce his intentions to stand for mayor of Nelson. He says it’s something he has been considering for a while, and while there are “quite a few” standing, some members of the public are saying it hasn’t yet given them enough option to choose someone who represents them. “I’ve been quite comfortable as councillor, but I felt that I was prepared to step-up if there wasn’t the right representation.” He will also run for councillor. “Some may think that it’s a cop out, running for both, saying you’re not putting everything behind one thing, but I actually think it’s the exact opposite.” He says some are not prepared to work under anyone else so have only put their hand up

Photo: Charles Anderson. for mayor, but that’s not his way of thinking. “By putting my name up for both it shows my desire to continue my work for Nelson.” He says he feels Nelson has lost its passion. “Over the last years Nelson has lost its way, we lost WOW just as an example. “I will work hard to put Nelson back on the map but also make it an affordable and enjoyable place to live whether you’re young or old.” He says the constant rates rises are unsustainable. “Over the last 12 years they

have gone up 300 per cent for some people.” He says during his six years as a councillor he has pushed hard for things that the public have wanted, sometimes being the only one. “I promised to push to get wood burners available as some people were left unable to heat their homes. “It took a while, but I pushed and pushed and I was often a lone voice and was often on my own, but now most people can have them in their home.” Tim was also the sole opposing vote when it

came to council selling its pensioner houses. Now he is running his own consultation on what terms the public want during the sale process. That is happening this Saturday at the Stoke Methodist Church Hall at 2pm. “We own 142 pensioner houses, not only are we going to lose those assets but the people who live in them, they are not going to be paying 25 per cent of their pension anymore.” “I at least want to listen to the public to hear what they want in the terms of sale. “I haven’t forgotten who my employer is - the Nelson public.” He says he hopes for a clean and positive campaign and says if he is not elected as Mayor he will quite happily sit on Council and show respect for the entire team. Tim joins Rachel Reese, Mel Courtney, Mike Ward and Bill Dahlberg as mayoral candidates.

Port pledges climate action: Port Nelson has put its name to a coalition of companies that make up 60 per cent of New Zealand’s emissions. The port signed the Climate Leaders Coalition, a pledge to take action on climate change by committing to measuring and reporting their greenhouse gas emissions in order to keep global warmings within 2degrees Celsius.

Development agency needs money: The Nelson Regional Development Agency says it needs $200,000 over the next two years or will be forced to reduce its services. The agency’s chair Meg Matthews says the level of funding it currently has was not sustainable. “We’re not stopping any initiatives or stopping work to date, but if we can’t get that from the private sector we will need to stop some work,” she said. The agency received about $1.16m for the 2018 to 2020 financial. The majority of this was from Nelson City Council. The council approved a review of the agency’s funding and the services it provides.

Local businesses recognised: At the Retail Awards held last week at Sky City, Nelson punched above its weight. Nelson retailers took out second and third in the customer experience / small retailer category. The Eyebright Country Store was a runner-up, while Pics Peanut Butter World was highly commended. They were pipped by The Christmas Hut in Christchurch. Eyebright and Pic’s were two of only three finalists in their category and there were only nine categories. They were up against competition from the whole of New Zealand.

Offering a younger voice on council Locally Owned and Operated

Charles Anderson They may be only 18 and 21-years-old but the two youngest candidates for Nelson City Council say you should get to know what they stand for before you judge them on just their age. Rohan O’Neill-Stevens, 18 and Campbell Rollo, 21 are both putting up their hand for election in October’s local body elections. Rohan says he was spurred on by “frustration and inspiration”. “I have spent the past two years watching a lot of the council meetings and growing increasingly frustrated by what was occurring. I was looking around at the decisions being made and the feeling that Nelson is slowing down in terms of its progress and feeling that I wanted to contribute some vision.” Campbell, a third-generation locksmith, says his first chance at voting was in the last elections and he saw that there was a lack of representation of

He says spending the last two years on the Nelson Youth Council has showed him the good things and the “not so good things” about local government. Rohan, who is on the Young Greens executive board and has recently returned home after studying in Germany, says that, growing up with the threat of climate change, he wants to communicate that there are solutions that can help solve that problem while also

investing in the city. “For example, enabling active transport and accessibility of transport while also having more pedestrian zones, so that the city centre is not just a place for cars.” He says concerns over his age are fine to have but it’s not OK to dismiss him outright because of it. The vision I want to put forward is not just for 18-years-olds, it’s for all Nelsonians.” Campbell says its important for voters to see what they have to offer before they judge them.

“Nelson needs generational change and I think if there were young people around the table it would be good for the city. Rohan says the voting group with lowest turnout is 18 to 30-year-olds and the all the highest is 65 plus. “Part of that is, when people can see and related to those running, they are more invested in it. So far, the pair say their youth hasn’t been a focus. “I’ve been shocked by the overwhelming support,” Rohan says.

Council meetings cancelled

Kate Russell

The majority of this year’s Nelson City Council’s workshops have been cancelled. Council started advertising workshops following the adoption of its Workshop Policy on 21 March, 2019, but six out of the 10 workshops this year up until the end of August have been cancelled due to there being either no topic to discuss or they were replaced with another meeting. “For efficiency and to allow elected members to manage their diaries better, council officers schedule regular slots for workshops throughout the year. Occasionally, there is no topic for discussion at the time, or the time slot is needed for a council or committee meeting,” says Nicky McDonald, group manager strategy and communications at the council. Up until the end of August of this year, 13 meetings and/or workshops have been cancelled. For the same time last year, 16 were cancelled in this period. In 2017 only five were cancelled in this period. Nicky says this is because in 2017 there were a significant number of workshops related to reviewing the Asset Management Plans to inform the Long-Term Plan, and many of the scheduled workshops were allocated for this purpose. The recent 11 July community services meeting and the 4 July planning and regulatory meeting were also cancelled due to ‘insufficient business’.

Downer takes home supreme local contractor award Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Downer were the big winners at the annual Nelson/Marlborough Civil Contractors Awards on Friday night. It was a glitzy affair at the Rutherford Hotel as the region celebrated its best contractors and infrastructure projects of the past year. Downer claimed the coveted Hirepool Supreme Award for its Queen St project in Richmond. Judges say the daily challenges of the project were immense, with the entire street needing to be excavated in the project which required 84,000 work hours. Chief Executive of Civil Contractors New Zealand, Peter Silcock, says it has been a difficult year for contractors, however, the region is still seeing a number of good infrastructure projects. “It’s been a year of change, but there is still a lot of work going on.” Peter says the evening was about celebrating the people of the industry and the hard work they do.

“The projects only happen because of the people.” The first award for the evening was the H & S Professionals Ltd Health and Safety Award which went to Blenheim’s Simcox Construction. The award went to a company which has implemented the highest possible safety measures in the workplace. Simcox Construction were lauded for its details and quality around health and safety on all fronts, regular audits, and positive feedback by onsite engineers. General manager Antony Clark says his staff safety is paramount. “It’s so important to us that everyone gets home safe.” Next up was the Tasman District Council Environmental Award which went to Taylor’s Contracting. Judges say that Taylor’s stood out above all with its commitment to protecting the environment. “Such is its commitment the company has its own environmental manager and department, policing happenings in the field.” CEO Charlie Taylor says the

Photo: Barry Whitnall. environment is very important to Taylor’s. “We want to leave it better than when we started.” The first project award was the Total Projects Valued $50,001 $200k award and went to Fulton Hogan for its work on the Abel Tasman Walkway following storm damage. Judges say the team faced “a hell of a lot of challenges along the way,” with weather and tides in a sensitive environmental area. “They couldn’t have done a better job.” Mike Edridge Construction

took out the Cable Price Projects Valued $200,001k - $750k for its work on the Topps Irrigation Reservoir in the Wairau Valley. Judges say the client impressed with their work as they simply got in and got the job done. Guests were tasked throughout the night with voting for their choice of Supplier of the Year, which was ultimately awarded to Hynds. The next award was the Land Dimensions Ltd award for Projects Valued $750,001 - $1.5 Million and was won by Taylors Contracting for its work assisting

with the Pigeon Valley Fire. Judges say Taylor’s put a focus on personal safety and coordination with a lot of work done outside the fire as well. “The way Taylors pulled together, and the calmness they operated with, was at the highest level.” Taylors say the project involved a lot of work jammed into a short space. Downer again won the Hynds Award for Projects Valued Over $1.5 Million for the Queen St restoration in Richmond. The GRUNDFOS Judges Innovation Award was for a creative project with minimal disruption, hours equipment and innovative technology. The prize went to Downer for the Saxton Velodrome project with judges citing its revolutionary payment laying process. Drew Hayes says the amount of planning that went into the project was responsible for its success. Finally, the Bank of New Zealand Young Achiever Award was won by Kyle Spratt, Jonathan Marfell and Joshua Hutton, with judges unable to separate the three young contractors.

Teen’s mission to clean up Nelson, Wednesday, July 10: Nelson teen Sophie Weenink-Smith, who organised a successful clean-up at Tahuna Beach earlier this month, received a surprise in her letterbox last week - a letter from Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. “I was so happy and honoured,” says the 13-year-old. The letter read: “Dear Sophie, I just saw your piece in the paper about your beach clean-up and wanted to say how lucky we are to have you in the Labour team. Thank you again for all the amazing work you are doing - you made me feel really proud”. Sophie says she “can’t wait” to organise more clean-ups around Nelson. The Lion King roars into Nelson, Wednesday, July 10: Director of The Lion King Jr, Richard Carruthers, said the Nelson Youth Theatre show was a huge success, selling out five of its eight performances and leaving audiences enthralled by the creativity of the animal costumes, puppets and masks. “We’ve had so much good feedback that we’re going to run a short repeat season November 19 – 22 for all those people who missed out, or who loved it so much they’ve just got to see it again, or from a better seat! Overall, I think it has to rank as one of our best and most successful shows ever,” he says.

Group counselling offers camaraderie for men Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Nelson counsellor Mark Peart knows all too well what it feels like to be stuck in a rough spot in life, so he’s starting a new men’s group to help others. The group will start next month in conjunction with Life Linc Nelson and Mark hopes it will create an opportunity for men of all ages to look at challenges and speak freely in confidence. “There’s quite a lot of research that suggests men benefit more from being in a group than they do than in individual counselling. It’s about camaraderie, and, like any group work, it’s good to be able to share your experiences as part of the process for healing,” he says. “A lot of problems can create isolation, so this is the opposite to isolation. My experience with being in groups is walking away and just feeling great.”

Love the Choice

Nelson counsellor Mark Peart will be facilitating a new men’s group at Life Linc next month. Photo: Kate Russell. Life Linc already offer allgender group counselling, but Mark’s idea of a men’sonly group was inspired by what he was seeing in his male clients. “We offer ten sessions for individuals, but I saw that it would be really great for some clients if there was something they could go on to,” he says. “It’s one thing being with a therapist and talking about what’s going on, but then, to

move that into a group … it’s like bridging back out into the community in a sense. “And a lot of people do want to continue, ten sessions in some arenas is considered a lot, in others it’s considered very brief. It’s very healing for men to have that arena for lots of different reasons.” Mark says the group will be fluid, as opposed to being structured, and he is hoping for a group of six to eight men

with a mix of ages. “There’s already some interest with the potential that we might end up running two groups.” The group will meet in Nelson every Thursday from 7-9pm at Life Linc’s Hardy St rooms. The cost is $20 a session and it is open to all men over the age of 18. To find out more call (03) 548 2400 or email clinical@lifelinc.co.nz

Nelson works to be city for all ages Staff Reporter

Work to develop a new strategy for Nelson’s ageing population was launched this week. Chair of the steering group, Paul Steere, called the ageing trend the most significant social change the Nelson community had ever had to deal with. “The fact that we are living longer is a wonderful achievement. But unless we prepare our community for these changes many will struggle and find the extra years not a gift but

a burden.” He says council is working to develop a better city for older residents and therefor for everyone. “So, we are calling the strategy Nelson: City For All Ages.” The steering group will be working with agencies, groups and organisations later this year and consultation with the wider community is planned for 2020. Anyone wishing to take part in the project or share ideas about ageing in Nelson can get in touch by emailing cityforallages@ncc.govt.nz.

From Tiger Moths to Test Pilot Susan Johnson Talking to Bernie Lewis it’s not hard to imagine this quietly confident 91-year-old in the cockpit of a fighter jet or breaking the speed of sound. Born in East Takaka in 1926, one of five sons, Bernie had always wanted to fly, and it was Bernie’s eldest brother, Frank that he credits with his career choice. In 1933 three biplanes flew over the family farm. Bernie and his brothers watched, fascinated. Bernie’s first flight was in an early de Havilland Moth piloted by ex-squadron leader Mac MacGregor. “I’ll never forget the experience; I can still remember looking down at the ground sliding by beneath me.” It was then that Bernie knew that all he wanted to do was fly. Bernie’s determination wasn’t shaken after a rejection from the Royal New Zealand Air Force. He sent out applications to Australia, Canada, the USA and England with mixed results and after advice from his brother, accepted an application for the Royal Air Force in England. Bernie left his job as a schoolteacher to work as a labourer in Takaka, to earn enough money to pay for the boat fare to England. By October 1950 he was on his way.

Bernie Lewis. Bernie arrived to a post war London, rationing still in force, bombed out streets, and illlooking people. The RAF selection committee were impressed that Bernie had put pilot, pilot, pilot for the three options for aircrew. “After what had happened in New Zealand, I was taking no chances.” After passing the selection process initial training begins in Lincolnshire where conditions are spartan. Progressing to flight training, students started in the Meteor 7, which had two seats before going solo in the Vampire fighter which was single”. The highest I flew unpressurised was 43,000 feet and stopped due to the discomfort caused by nitrogen bubbles forming around the elbow and knee joints”. Bernie’s love of flying and focus gained him his commission, and also won him the Glenn Trophy for best pilot on the

course. Bernie received a posting to Germany, but no before he had heard the sonic boom for the first time at the Farnborough Air show. In Germany, Bernie flew the more modern F-86 Sabre, the one he flew in the first time he went sub-sonic. He also qualified as an instructor before returning to the UK. More study followed and the ability to fly helicopters was added to his list of accomplishments. He left the RAF when head hunted by Bristol Siddeley Engines to be their test pilot. It was during his time here that he helped test the engines for Concorde which were attached to a Vulcan jet. This was an extremely busy time, work-wise flying abroad, in Brunei, Asia, Europe, for Rolls Royce and the oil rigs. In 1971 Bernie and his family returned to New Zealand where Bernie’s work meant, again the family travelled around the country, first Nelson, aerial surveying, General Aviation Inspector. He even flew with Prince Phillip around the Marlborough sounds and Fiordland, sharing the cockpit when the Prince visited in the late 80’s. His interest in flying has stayed with him throughout his life. At 91, he doesn’t fly himself anymore, but he watches planes come into the Nelson airport regularly from his home.

If you are up to the challenge or know someone who is, now is the time to step forward. The future of the region is shaped by the decisions its elected representatives make – it’s not easy, it’s challenging, but it is rewarding delivering to your environment and community now and creating a future for our children. Closing 12 noon on Friday 16 August 2019. Nomination forms, information packs and Council pre-election reports can be picked up from libraries and Council offices.

Esther speaks up at Parliament Jonty Dine

Sitting in Parliament listening to her fellow youth MPs speak passionately about politics, Esther Walters felt a sense of hope for the future. Esther was representing Nelson along with 120 future leaders from around the country for the Youth Parliament 2019 summit earlier this month. The 16-year-old says it was an inspiring experience. “The strength and courage of the young people was amazing to see.” The MPs spent two days getting a taste of life at the Beehive and had the chance to argue the merits of a sustainable energy bill in a mock legislative debate. “It was very topical,” she says. Esther spoke with eloquence and confidence beyond her years as she addressed parliament. “We must be the generation that steps up and says enough is enough,” she argued to a room full of veteran politicians.

Esther was also put on the health select committee which looked at how to reduce youth suicide rates. Esther says she considers politics a bit like ‘a game’. “Politics is interesting because people hate it, but it affects everyone.” Esther was elected as Nelson’s youth MP by the Nelson Youth Council in 2018 and has worked closely with Nelson MP Nick Smith ever since. A volunteer at Whanake Youth, Esther says mental health is an issue close to her heart and she hopes to champion change in the sector. “I have a passion for change and speaking up for what’s right.” However, first on the young politician’s agenda is to ensure the voice of the youth is heard in the upcoming local body elections. She will be campaigning to get more 18-24-year-olds to cast their vote come October. “If you want politics to change you need to vote and get the people in who reflect your views and beliefs.”

Nelson loses trolley derby to Queen St, Richmond - what do you think? Don't like the idea at all. Where they were having it was a perfect spot. Danielle Angel

Queen St is bad enough without adding this chaos. Rose Boisen

It's in a pretty low-key section of Upper Queen St with only the local dairy operating. It will be so good to have this in our neighbourhood! Jodie Lee

It's better than not having it at all. It's for a portion of one day. The "chaos" it causes you brings joy and happiness to loads of children and families. Cee Gee Maybe more Nelson businesses should have

Lax landlords create insulation backlog If I was renting and my landlord didn’t have insulation done by the first of July, I’d dob them in straight away!! Danny Frans

Awesome, look forward to it. Heather Waters

Great idea. Hope everyone feels the same, kids need somewhere to have fun. Jill Holmwood If Nelson city and businesses won't support such events, then you can't blame the trolley folk for seeking support from Tasman. Dennis Goodman Great news, just moved to Queen St, can stand outside and watch it.

If I was a landlord in need of insulation right now, I would look somewhere else. Most landlords use the rent money to pay rates, mortgage and water. Bernie Goldsmith Most landlords have a really small mortgage, or no mortgage left, and they are getting top dollar for their places.

It is in the landlord’s best interest to have an insulated, dry house and happy tenants. There're a whole lot of tenants you wouldn't want in your home, so no tenants equal no mortgage payments. Elaine Cullen No one should have to live in an uninsulated home - it's a shame it's taken this long, but great to see that work is now underway to get all rental properties insulated as required by law! If you're unsure about whether your home is insulated, make sure to check with your landlord! Habitat for Humanity Nelson Tim tames his beard for hospice and youth theatre Tim, your beard was amazing, but, boy, you’re good looking without it. Michelle Gibbons That's impressive for 10 months, Tim! I know some men who couldn't grow that beard in 10 years! What a great cause. Kelly Diskin

Nelson Matters I am worried for Nelson’s health services with our District Health Board’s announcement of an $11 million dollar deficit for the year to July. It has been described as a “bombshell” by board members. My concern is what this means for Nelsonian’s access to healthcare and the pressure this will put on our health workers. Nelson Greypower President Christine Tuffnell rightly calls this “a sad state of affairs” and notes that “the people most affected by this will be patients – longer waiting times, additional criteria they have to meet to qualify for treatment and increased rationing of access to

care”. People from Nelson’s Labour and Green parties say they do not care about the DHB’s finances because it is healthcare and wellbeing that matters. This is naïve. It does not matter whether it is a household, club, company, country or DHB, poor finances soon become poorer services and poorer wellbeing. Nelson Greypower and my own office is already experiencing an increased number of complaints about the denied, delayed or cancelled care. These are Nelsonians desperate to see a specialist, get an MRI scan or X-ray, have surgery, or

access to homecare. The problem is not our Health Board – all DHBs across the country are reporting massive losses. The root cause is that Labour

has not compensated DHBs for the generous pay settlements with health sector unions. The increase in our DHB’s budget is half what Labour promised. Labour has also been Scrooge-

like in areas like pharmaceuticals where the budget increase is less than a quarter of what National provided. This is leaving people missing out on lifesaving medication. Health funding will always be challenging as demand and costs keep rising. National raised the funding for our DHB from $297 million in 2008 to $416 million in 2017, increases Labour decried as inadequate. This worrying $11 million deficit just reinforces that Labour is failing to keep its health promises and can’t manage money. Advert.

locals and visitors alike. In the winter it’s ideal for relaxing by the fire, supping mulled wine and eating a hearty meal. In the warmer months, people love the spacious, sun-drenched outdoor area, where there’s lots of seating and a stunning outlook across the Waimea Estuary. In 2014, Chris Baillie bought the The Honest Lawyer and over the years he has gradually been implementing changes together with Aroha Algar, who was hired as the General Manager nearly two years ago. “It’s exciting how far the business has come and the way it caters for people from all walks of life, “says Aroha. “Whether it’s locals dropping in for lunch, corporates requiring accommodation, tourists exploring the region, business meetings, 21st birthdays or couples looking for a lovely wedding venue, The Honest Lawyer is the perfect location.” Delightful Accommodation

There are multiple reasons why visitors stay at The Honest Lawyer. It’s just a short drive and within easy walking distance from Nelson airport plus it’s very central, situated halfway between Nelson and Richmond. “It’s also surprisingly quiet,” says Aroha. “Because we are on a waterway, we are shielded from motorway noise. We have 13 character-filled king and twin rooms available while these generally accommodate two guests, we can add more when families are holidaying with children. Each room is unique; some have spa baths, some have feature walls, while others have big bay windows or bench seats; all of them are English Style with old law books, old wooden radios, etc.” Aroha says their accommodation works extremely well for functions and conferences. “We recently hosted a three-day conference for Rittal NZ for 12 guests, so they each

had their own room; they came down each day for their conference, had their dinner and went back to bed, which was easy for them and good for us.” Accommodation includes a free continental breakfast. “We’re really lucky because our chef bakes fresh food on a daily basis, so that’s what goes upstairs to our guests. We get a lot of corporates and tourists so it’s nice for them to have their breakfast before they travel. If it’s a flight, they can grab it and run.” The Honest Lawyer has courtesy van pick-ups and drop-offs available for overnight guests and special occasions.

The Perfect Wedding Venue “We have an amazing wedding venue in a picturesque spot,” says Events Manager Trish Parkins. “We are hosting more and more weddings every year and we have started using companies like GK Events Hire and Nelson Nuptials.” Options include the fairy-tale setting of the rustic barn overlooking the estuary and orchard, or saying ‘I do’ by the water’s edge. For small weddings, the dining room is ideal for the reception and for larger occasions the English-styled Banquet Room is a delightful space. “I can take care of everything from what time it is served, to where you want your table decoration placed, the set-up, the pack down, the courtesy van, the whole shabam!” Anyone who is planning their wedding should seriously Scrumptious, fresh, versatile… consider the fairytale setting of the rustic barn overDining in the restaurant is a uniquely looking the estuary at the Honest Lawyer. enjoyable experience.

We like to source fresh, local produce wherever possible and we make all of our own breads, jams, chutneys,

Having a good impact on the environment is also important; with our recycling, we have now reduced our rubbish by 64 percent. We also value training, to make our staff friendly, strong and more efficient and the effects are really showing – our team is fantastic.” Aroha says the outdoor space has also been completely transformed thanks to Chris, Mary and Terry. “With all the changes we have been implementing, we feel The Honest Lawyer has got its ‘groove’ back. So, do come down for a quiet drink or work meeting, book it for your conference or special function, or why not plan to get married in Nelson’s most romantic venue by the sea?”

There will be no rules when secondary school students from around the region take the stage at the Suter for the regional theatresports finals. The senior competition is on next Tuesday night and will see the best young improv actors battle it out for the 2019 trophy in teams of four to six. Organiser Nikkie Whitehead says audiences can expect some “spontaneous and hilarious” storytelling. “With improv there are really no rules. They really have to work as a team and think on their feet. It can be challenging, but it’s great for their self-confidence and the talent is amazing. “It’s really about selling it and taking risks. There is also a really nice camaraderie between all the teams.”

The winners will go on to compete in the national competition in Christchurch later this year. Last year, Garin College took out the junior competition while Nelson College for Girls won the senior section. The schools competing this year are Waimea College, Nelson College for Girls, Garin College and Golden Bay High School, with the junior teams performing last night. “If you want to laugh yourself off your seats and enjoy some on-the-spot never seen before scenes, which will be very entertaining, come along and support our senior teams next week,” says Nikkie. The senior final is on Tuesday, 6 August from 7 – 9:30pm at the Suter. Tickets are available from www. iticket.co.nz and are $12 for students and $15 for adults. There will also be cash sales at the door.

Netball’s Tasman Trophy has returned to Nelson after Jacks OPD wrestled the cup away from Marlborough last week. The unbeaten Jacks produced a controlled performance to down Pelorus at Marlborough Lines Stadium 2000 58-49 on July 21. Pelorus, who took out the second-round title on this side of the hill, were unable to win a quarter in a high-paced encounter. The hosts trailed by eight at halftime and despite creating some turnovers in the second spell, were unable to make a dent in the deficit. Shooters Rayna Olsen and Hannah Dawson worked the attacking circle superbly, creating space for each other and moving the hometown defence around. Jack’s midcourters played with pace and accuracy, led initially by skipper Jess Drummond and Bayly Templeton, and latterly Charlotte Donaldson. In defence, Kirsty Thompson, Anna Miles and Kate Andrews did a sterling job restricting their rival’s entry to the circle. Jacks coach Robyn Leonard was delighted to be bringing the cup home. “Really good to get a win, it was great to play a side we knew nothing about.” Robyn says all eight members of the squad that travelled over the Whangamoas performed. “We went there we stuck to our plan and adjusted what we had to, everybody played well.” Robyn says she is a big fan of the Tas-

stuck to our structures and processes. “We made a few changes and I thought we adapted really well, which we haven’t always been able to do so quickly in our Nelson competition.” Drummond is a big fan of the Tasman Trophy concept. “I love it. It would be good if we did it every round or even have the top two teams up against each other … it’s always good to get a win outside our home province.”

Jacks comfortably took out the first two phases, pipping Prices by seven and four points respectively. The defending champions were in a similar spot last season, having not beaten Jacks all year until the final. Nelson Netball Centre manager Jared Lock says the quality of competition has risen as a result of having eight premier sides. “It’s great to see college teams coming through, Motueka is there for the first time in a few years and have been one of the biggest excitements. Jared says competition is set to get very interesting as the sides split into a top and bottom four. While he says Jacks are the hoy favourites, the playoff structure will enable any team to win the cup af-

ter the next three rounds. “They have set the pace this season, but any of those top 4 teams are a good chance.” Following phase three, the sides will be ranked from 1-8 and will play quarterfinal matches accordingly. “There is a real potential for upsets, those 4v5 and 3v6 games could be interesting.” The premier semi-finals will run on the night of Thursday 22 of August with al; finals set to be played on Saturday 31st. “Good luck to all players, I am excited to see what happens.”

Such is her ability, Maia plays for both the senior and junior teams at Waimea College, which her parents coach. Maia says it doesn’t matter how much bigger or older her opponents are, she treats them the same. “She’s definitely not out of place against the seniors, she plays with no conscience which is a good trait,” Phill says.

Maia Jones has a prestigious basketball pedigree. Her mother Kat is Nelson Sparks stalwart and former captain while dad Phill had his Giant’s jersey retired following an illustrious international career. After initially showing little interest in the sport, Maia is now set to follow in the sizeable footprints of her parents. “Mum made me start,” the 14-year-old says says. “I didn’t want to, but I had to play a team sport, so I got pushed into basketball.” It wasn’t long before her genetics saw her shine on court. The Waimea College student recently represented Tasman at the U15 National Championships in Tauranga where she was named in the

tournament team. She was also selected in the New Zealand U14 development team which played in Australia last year. Father Phill says Maia has plenty of potential as a player. “She has a scorer’s mentality, if she wants to take it to another level, she will.” The young point guard is also a talented netball and touch player, but says she plans to focus on basketball. “I want to do what my dad did, travel and play basketball.” Maia is the eldest of three children with Hayden, 12, and Ava, 10, also keen ballers. The basketball season is a hectic time in the Jones’ household with the three kids at three schools playing two sports each. “It’s pretty busy,” Phill says. However, the former Tall Black is delighted the Jones name will

Just 18 months into his fighting career, Caleb Brash is already eyeing up a career in the octagon. The 14-year-old Nelson College student won his first Muay Thai fight in an unanimous decision last month in Auckland. It was just his second official bout in the ring. Caleb dominated the three two-minute rounds against Thai opponent Sorntham Najaidee. Having trained regularly with older local fighters such as Rikki da Silva, Caleb was well prepared for the bout. “I pushed forward in first round, went in clinching and got some knees in. I was a bit tired in the second but landed a few good kicks and punches, and in the third round I just had to get through and complete the fight.” Caleb says he knew he had won the 62kg fight upon the final bell and came out reasonably unscathed. The win takes his early record to 1-1 with his first fight coming against an opponent who had fought multiple times before, but Caleb held his own. “I lasted the three rounds and didn’t go down.” Caleb says he was surprised by the intensity and energy required to go the distance. Despite the loss, Caleb was hungry for more inring action following his debut bout. Caleb’s combat career began when he joined Nelson Akira at eight-years-old. His love for striking then saw him take up Brazilian Ju-Jitsu at 11 and then, looking to expand his arsenal, the young fighter joined Maui Muay Thai Nelson at the beginning of last year. The southpaw is now eyeing his next fight in October as he chases his professional dream. “I want to fight in mixed martial arts professionally, whether it’s in the UFC or another promotion.” He credits coach Suds Karki for increasing his fight IQ and improving his instinct. “I have a better idea of what to do and when, during a fight.” While he has yet to be rendered unconscious, Caleb understands the risk that comes with getting in the ring. “I’m not worried about being knocked out, there is a danger of brain injury but I’m willing to take that risk because this is my passion.” Though he possesses plenty of knockout power himself, Caleb is sure to show self-control outside of the ring. “I don’t get into fights, I know I can hurt someone badly and I don’t want to do that.” Caleb trains six days a week split between BJJ and Muay Thai. “It gets exhausting sometimes.” However, he isn’t short of motivation. While he looks up to the likes of kiwi sensation Israel Adesanya, Caleb draws most of his inspiration from the notorious Conor McGregor. McGregor made history by becoming the first UFC two division champion, holding both the featherweight and lightweight championships simultaneously. But Caleb wants to go one better than his idol. “There are a few fighters who have held two belts, but no one has had three, I want to set that record.”

Jacks survive fierce Stoke challenge Jonty Dine Fresh off its Tasman Trophy victory in Marlborough, Jacks OPD has carried its unbeaten form into the third phase of the Nelson premier Netball Competition. Jacks survived an early scare against Stoke to pick up a 55-43 victory in a fiercely physical encounter at Saxton Stadium on Thursday night. After being locked up for majority of the first two quarters, Jacks showed its class to run away with in the second half. Jacks coach Robyn Leonard says it was a very physical battle, but her troops responded well. “You just have to muscle up and carry on, which we did, and I’m really pleased with the second half effort.” Robyn says her depleted side did well to repel the Stoke onslaught. “It was a bit touchy there for a while and took us a while to score, but we hit our straps in the end.” Stoke’s staunch defence saw Jacks lose Bayly Templeton early in the second quarter after the wing attack took a nasty fall, hitting her head hard on the floor. She was assisted from the court, stretching Jack’s squad stocks even further. “It’s not great for us but we’re hoping she’ll be fine.” Robyn says her side’s slow start can simply be attributed to a lack of accuracy. “We had the shots and we just missed them.” After a quiet first half, Jacks scored 19 in the third and 13 in the fourth to seal the win. “Everyone stepped up and played with a bit of speed, which was pleasing,” Robyn says. Jess Drummond again led her side superbly around the court while Kirsty Thompson and Anna Miles made life difficult for Stoke’s attack. Stoke would come out of the gates firing, racing out to a 5-1 lead as Jacks made a number of uncharacteristic mistakes. Thompson and Kalyssa Rasmussen had a

However, Jacks eventually closed the gap before Rayna Olsen squared the scores 11-11 after the first quarter. The sides continued to trade goals in the second before a more fluent Jacks strung some possession together and took a three-goal lead at the half. In similar fashion to the first thirty minutes, Stoke managed to stay in the

Proud grandfather is Silver Fern’s biggest fan Jonty Dine As the Silver Ferns made history after winning a fifth Netball World Cup last week, arguably the team’s biggest fan, Mac Crampton, beamed with pride. Mac is the very proud grandfather of newly-crowned world champion Gina Crampton. The 84-year-old says it took a while for his heartrate to come down after the pulsating onepoint win over Australia. “It was absolutely incredible,” says Mac. Mac has been following Gina’s career since she was selected in the Wellington College for Girls A side as a year nine. “We had no idea then that she’d go on as far as she has.” He says his granddaughter has been through all the highs and lows of netball en route to her World Cup win. Mac booked his tickets with partner Carol for the Commonwealth Games in 2018 to watch Gina, well in advance of the Silver Ferns team selection. But, cruelly, Gina was cut from the final squad. “We went on and watched the tournament and it really was very disappointing to see how they performed.” Mac has since learned his

When she wasn’t selected for the Constellation Cup, we thought that going to England on the off chance she might be in it, we just thought it would be too much.” However, with less than a month before the games, Gina was named in the team. “Her parents got their tickets immediately, but we are a bit older and it’s sad to say but we require a bit more planning.” Despite not being there, Mac followed the Ferns religiously during the tournament. Mac says, after the disastrous Commonwealth Games campaign, he and many other

fans would have been content with a bronze medal in England. “To see them go through the tournament the way they did, it’s an absolutely remarkable performance.” Mac says Gina has since made the comment to her father that she felt “like he’d been through hell, but it was all worth it”. “The level of netball she played in that final was outstanding.” The Crampton name is well known in Nelson sporting circles with her father, Colin, playing for the Giants in the mid-eighties. Mac says he has been reaping plaudits of his granddaughter’s performance from neighbours at his home at Somerset in the Sun. “It was way beyond all of our expectations.”
