Claudia Fortaleza’s Halloween display at her Templemore Drive home is always the talk of the town, and this year was no different. “Some people go big for Christmas, but Halloween is my time,” she says. New this year were her two autopsy tables, complete with corpses and fake blood. “Food colouring is key for making the scene look real.” She says that her love of Halloween stems from her own childhood when everyone in the community used to come together to celebrate dressing up as whomever they wanted and to be accepted. “Even now, kids from the street come and ask me to help decorate and we get so many people pass by to have a look – from really young toddlers to the people at the retirement village. It brings people together in such a positive way.” Photo: Jo Kent.

NEWS A & P show scales down: The Nelson A&P show will go on but without the public, while the Golden Bay show has been cancelled. As the region is still under Covid-19 Level 2 restrictions, the Nelson show will be scaling down. The Nelson show will only be for exhibitors and members. The event, due to be held on November 20 and 21, usually draws thousands. The show is in its 127th year and has been held every year but 1918 when it was cancelled due to the Spanish Flu epidemic. Unfortunately, the dog trials will not go ahead in 2021. There is still a chance to enter as a competitor for the A&P show in a number of events such as equestrian, the digger competition, highland dancing, and shearing.

Early Christmas shopping rush hits region Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

An early rush of Christmas shoppers has hit the region, as some retailers struggle to secure certain stock in time for the festive season. Christmas Day may still be more than seven weeks away, however shipping delays caused by the Coronavirus pandemic has meant that many shops are seeing stock arrive later than usual. Manager of Hunting and Fishing Richmond, Laura Langridge, says they are seeing “way more” early Christmas shoppers this year. “Absolutely - some people are already ticking off the last

things on their Christmas lists.” Some of the stock they had ordered in for Christmas has now been delayed and won’t be arriving until April next year. “We now have to order things six months in advance,” Laura says. Popular Christmas presents, such as fishing reels, have been particularly hard to source. “We carry such a wide variety of items, but fishing has been hit pretty hard.” She says the pandemic has seen them ordering more stock than ever before, as more people head outdoors. “There’s been an increase in customers but a decrease in stock and availability.”

Tim Babbage from Beggs Musicworks says they are also experiencing an early rush of Christmas shoppers. “People are certainly talking about Christmas much earlier than normal.” Tim says sourcing stock has been a big issue for them this year. Some guitars that were due to arrive last Christmas have only just arrived. “We have some things that would normally be a threemonth wait, but now it’s 12 months. If people want something specific and it’s not already on a container to New Zealand, you’re probably not going to get it for Christmas. It’s just the way it is.” Sheena Murtagh from Richmond Unlimited says many

retailers are struggling with stock. “It seems that business has picked up again since the lockdown, but the supply of stock has been an issue for some.” However, some shoppers are thinking outside the box and buying second-hand gifts. Brett Loper from Brett’s Book Exchange in Richmond only sells used books and has seen an early spike of people coming in to buy Christmas presents to put away. “Although a lot of the older classics are still hard to come by,” Brett says. Meanwhile, Sheena is encouraging people to buy local this year. “Support your local businesses this Christmas.”

Rescue chopper gets grant: The Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter Trust says it is thrilled to receive a grant of $80,000 towards annual operating costs from the New Zealand Community Trust. General manager Paula Muddle said the rescue helicopter responds to more than 500 missions annually, operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week. “We are currently celebrating 30 years of operating a free, dedicated rescue helicopter service in the Nelson, Tasman, and Marlborough regions. The New Zealand Community Trust have been there for us every step of the way, ensuring we can provide this service free of charge in our community. Without its continued support, our service simply would not exist.” Paula says, given the effect Covid-19 has had on its income streams, this grant towards their annual operating costs was greatly received. “This ongoing support means that we can continue to save lives across the top of the South Island and be there for both residents and visitors to our region.” MP rallies rural community: National List MP Maureen Pugh is bringing National’s spokesperson on agriculture, Barbara Kuriger, to speak at a public meeting in Murchison on Friday 12 November. She says she expects some lively discussion on issues like SNAs or the current moves by the Government on Three Waters and says there will be time for a question and answer session at the meeting. Barbara Kuriger is also the MP for TaranakiKing Country. “Quite apart from the huge amount of feeling over the Three Waters issue, from the feedback I am receiving on a daily basis, there are a range of serious issues on which rural people are simply not being heard. This open public meeting will be a chance for people to have a voice on the things which matter most to them,” Maureen says. The public meeting will be held from 12.30pm to 2 pm on Friday 12 November at Murchison Sport & Rec Centre.

KFC wait drags into next year Missing AED Jo Kent Reporter

jo@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Local fried chicken fans will have to wait as progress on building a new KFC for Richmond slowly goes through the consent process. Tinline Properties, which owns Richmond Mall, was given consent to start groundworks on the 2048 square metre site on 26-28 Talbot Street in late May. The site, which is adjacent to Kmart, was then cleared of contaminated soil across the two properties which had

previously stood on the vacant site. Chief executive officer for Tinline, Jamie Gaskell, says things are moving along as expected. “We are still very much in the resource consent process, but everything is going to plan.” That plan is to build a KFC fast food outlet with a floor area of 250 square metres, 28 car parking spaces and a drive-through that wraps around the rear of the building with “queueing capacity for seven spaces”. “We aren’t in a position to give final dates just yet as we are bound by confidentiality agreements,” Jamie says. Tasman District Council communi-

cations manager Chris Choat says that the current application for consent is progressing and a request for further information has been made to the applicant, Tinline Properties. “We expect to hear from the applicant in the next few weeks with the further information and then we can assess the next steps in the process.” Discussions are set to continue between the parties with further developments on the construction side expected during 2022. “We will definitely be in the planning stage for the rest of this year, but we are looking forward to progressing next year,” Jamie says. A crash closed SH65 at Maruia on Thursday. A police spokesperson says they were called to the crash shortly after 6pm to a truck that had rolled and scattered debris across the road. The section of highway between Maruia and Springs Junction was closed for a number of hours with a crane required to remove the truck. A detour was in place via SH6 Inangahua, SH69 and SH7 Reefton. One lane opened later in the evening with the full road reopening on Friday.

mystery solved Jenny Nicholson Those who feared expensive and lifesaving devices had been stolen from rural Tasman can breathe a sigh of relief. The AEDs (automated external defibrillator) went missing from both Glenhope and Lake Rotoiti last week which raised concern that they had been stolen. Posts on Facebook queried what sort of person would do such a thing. What actually happened was more positive - they were simply removed for servicing. AEDs are used when someone has a cardiac arrest. It analyses the heart’s rhythm and, if necessary, delivers an electrical shock to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm. Wakefield and Districts Health Trust chair Don Everitt says someone comes from Auckland once a year to service the 15 units that the trust has placed in the community. They are collected, serviced, and returned as quickly as possible. “We are quite conscious we don’t want to leave the community with none,” Don says. Glenhope resident Sue Wilson checked the box beside where the AED was usually situated and found a very old mouldy note saying that the unit had been taken for servicing. With the note falling to pieces in her hand, she was unsure if it was an explanation for the missing AED or an old note that just hadn’t been removed. She says the closest device for Glenhope residents while their one is out for servicing is about 25 minutes away. Don Everitt says the AED from Glenhope poses a more serious problem as it was saturated and therefore unserviceable. With the trust not having a spare device, they are checking on insurance before they consider replacing it. An AED costs about $3000.

Region has NZ’s lowest child mortality rate Jenny Nicholson Reporter

jennifer@waimeaweekly.co.nz

The Top of the South has the lowest mortality rate in the country for children under 14 years of age, despite new data revealing New Zealand’s “unacceptable” rates of death, particularly among Māori and Pacific communities. The latest Child and Youth Mortality Review Committee (CYMRC) national report released by the Health Quality and Safety Commission was discussed at last week’s Nelson Marlborough District Health Board meeting. The data shows that some age groups of Nelson Marlborough children had the lowest mortality rate, or deaths per 100,000, in the country. Those under the age of one had a mortality rate of .67, compared to a national average of 1.47. Children between 1-4 had a mortality rate of 9.02, compared to a national average of 20.47 and the rate of children between the age of 5-9 was not calculated due to there being such a low number. The rate for children between the ages of 10-14 was 6.23 where the national average was 12.6. A reduction in sudden unexpected death in infancy (SUDI)

is thought to have contributed to the lower rate. Nelson Marlborough Health chief medical officer Dr Nick Baker told the meeting that separating the age limit for learning to drive and being allowed to drink alcohol had improved overall road safety and impacted numbers of deaths in young people. However, figures show mortality rates are higher in Māori and Pacific children than in other ethnic groups. The figures also show that mortality is higher in areas of high socioeconomic deprivation. CYMRC co-chair Dr Alayne Mikahere-Hall said: “While strong progress was made in reducing mortality rates of pēpi, tamariki and rangatahi in the past, that momentum has been lost and mortality rates have remained stagnant over the past five years. We find this unacceptable.” During the period 2015–19, 2,666 children and young people aged 28 days to 24 years died. The leading category of death was medical conditions (36.8 per cent), followed by injury (30.6 per cent) and suicide (24.6 per cent). Sudden unexpected death in infancy (SUDI) accounted for 7.4 percent of deaths.

Local boaties given timely safety reminder Erin Bradnock This year’s Marine Safety Expo is well underway with Tasman’s harbourmaster, Coastguard Nelson and police reminding local boaties how to keep safe this summer season. As part of the expo, Tasman harbourmaster Dan Cairney and a range of first responders were at Nelson’s Akersten St boat ramp car park on Sunday to make sure the growing community of Tasman boaties were safe out on the water.

“Lately we’re seeing smaller boats getting into trouble, … we always remind people any boat can sink,” Dan says. He is heading into his eighth summer as harbourmaster so has seen first-hand how important it is for boaties to wear their life jackets and to carry a personal locator beacon. “We’ve had some really close calls over the last couple of years,” he says. Coastguard Nelson president Clive Paul says it’s crucial for anyone out on the water to check on

their safety equipment. He says boaties too often put themselves in further harm’s way when they hesitate to call for help. “Don’t be afraid to call 111.” Sunday’s expo and fine weather drew in a good crowd from newbies to experienced boaties and younger ones who were keen to explore the boats, chat with Coastguard crew and colour in safety posters. Dan hopes the expo will encourage the boating community to triple check their gear, the forecast and the local rules.

Cambusters car club celebrate 20 years Jo Kent It was high jinks, hot rods and rock ’n’ roll for the Cambusters Nelson club at the weekend as they celebrated their 20th anniversary. The car enthusiasts combined the day with their Zone 8 Memorial Run, which ended in Kaiteriteri for a spot of mini golf, before returning to the A&P Showgrounds for a party. Club member Kim Quint says they do a memorial run every year in honour of past members who have died. “This year coincided with our 20th anniversary, so we had a big party

to celebrate. It’s a chance for us all to get together and really enjoy what has come to be a special group of people with a common interest.” The women went all-out with their 1950s rockabilly costumes and the theme didn’t stop there. “We’ve spent ages decorating the room, from the posters on the wall to the table settings. Everything has been thought of,” Kim says. The festivities started with a slapup meal followed by a quiz night, and dancing until late. “We had an absolute blast. Here’s to 20 more years of cruising the region.”

IS YOUR POOL COMPLIANT? Under the fencing of swimming pool provisions in the Building Act 2004, owners and occupiers of properties with swimming pools are responsible for ensuring that their swimming pool barriers are compliant. This includes portable or seasonal-type pools which are treated in the same way as permanent residential pools. They must have barriers that restrict unsupervised access by young children if they can hold water to a depth of 400mm or more and have water in them (even if the pool is only partially filled). Council must ensure all pools in its jurisdiction are inspected at least once every three years. We’ve drawn up a brief checklist that owners can use as a guide. While not exhaustive, the items listed are the most common we find that are not compliant. My pool has a physical barrier that is intact and free from any climbable objects. Any gaps in the pool barrier do not exceed 100mm, including underneath. Where any buildings act as a barrier, windows have restrictors and doors are fixed with self-latching/self-closing devices and/or alarm. My pool gates open away from the pool, self-close and have a child proof latch. I have a backflow preventer on the tap used for filling the pool. I only have pool-related activities in the pool area (no gardens or storage area).

Delivering Christmas magic Jo Kent Reporter

jo@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Mum and daughter duo Jackie Kalka and Tyla Gardiner are helping spread Christmas magic to families across the Top of the South. For the last five years the Richmond pair have sent thousands of letters from Santa addressed to children across the region – all for free. “My daughter and I are huge Christmas freaks and writing Santa letters means we can keep the tradition of letter writing alive for a new generation,” Jackie says. Jackie says it’s even more special when something from Santa turns up as children don’t receive much addressed to them in the mailbox anymore. “The envelopes are festive and look like they’ve come directly from the North Pole. They are so excited to receive them, it’s such a feel-good thing to be part of.” Their Santa service is completely free, and they absorb the cost themselves. “We pay for it all, from the

Big demand for tiny homes Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

The demand for tiny homes is “hotting up” as more Nelsonians look for alternative housing solutions amid a frustrating property market. Local tiny home company Ruru Homes reveals the demand is bigger than they can cope with. “We build 50 homes per year and finish one per week, but by now pretty much all of them have sold. We are currently almost sold out until March 2022,” says owner Fran Huelsmeyer. She says most enquiries are from people who cannot afford to buy a house - this includes retirees, young families, and couples getting into the market, and also people wanting an ‘instant bach’. Tiny homeowner Margie Etherington has been living in her 10.75m by 3m tiny home in Hope since July 2020 and is a South Island agent for another company, NZ Tiny Homes.

“I’ve had more than 190 enquiries in the past year, but now it’s really hotting up,” she says. Margie’s tiny home cost her $160,000. “To me, it’s an absolute nobrainer for young people. If you are newly married and you’re looking for your first house, you should go for it.” She leases her 12 square-metre piece of land for $119.50 per week, including water. She pays her own electricity - the power bills are $30 in the winter and $15 in the summer. She designed her deck, made from 66 pallets, which leads out to a garden full of flowers, vegetables, and herbs. NZ Tiny Homes owner Jamie Cameron says the demand for tiny homes is “definitely” growing and the type of buyers are changing. “Initially it was retirees and some divorcees, but now it’s also young couples and families. They just want to own something.” Margie says she was inspired to live in a tiny home after seeing

them online. She had just moved from a house that was sold after her five-year relationship ended. She had put in most of the deposit for the house but had to split the sale proceeds evenly. She ended up with around $140,000. “One day I saw a tiny home on Facebook, and I started talking to people, saying, ‘I think I found my home’. I worked my ass off and saved enough to buy one.” Margie says she doesn’t lack anything living in a tiny home. “We don’t need to keep up with the Joneses. I could have mortgaged myself and lived in a grotty little dunger.” But the biggest silver lining has been becoming debt-free. “At the moment, I’m saving hand over fist. I’ve managed to save $5k in two months - and that’s on a basic wage.” Margie hopes to inspire Nelsonians to consider the tiny home life. “I think when you go through any journey in life, you can help other people that’s what it’s all about.”

Public Meeting

Scores of Kiwis are being encouraged to ditch their loafers, heels or sneakers in favour of gumboots, this Friday in support of mental health initiative Gumboot Friday. Mental health charity I AM HOPE and its founder - New Zealander of the Year Mike King - first launched the initiative to raise money and awareness for children’s mental health. Nelsonians are encouraged to get on board and don a pair of gumboots to work or school. Gumboot Friday is this year aiming to reach $5 million, to provide more than 37,000 counselling sessions annually. Each year in New Zealand, between 120 and 180 young people die by suicide and it is estimated another 3500 attempt to take their own lives. While Government agencies are doing their best some young people are stuck waiting up to six months to receive the counselling they so urgently need. Mike’s organisation I AM HOPE said the fundraiser was a fun way

stay in the region to help Nelson and Tasman youth reach registered health professionals. Mike says Nelson is a special place to him. “The thing that really stands out for me is the strong sense of community I get to experience whenever I am down there.” He says whenever someone has a problem, the whole community rallies together. “If one person is going through a hard time, the whole community treats it as their problem and comes together as a team to do something about it. “It’s the same spirit when it comes to Gumboot Friday.” Nelson has really got behind us and rolled up their sleeves and said ‘right! How do we help? What can we do? Let’s fix this’.” He says it’s the kind of support that enables our kids to get the help they need through Gumboot Friday. There are concerns around kids waiting up to six months to receive counselling services so the free counselling sessions are more

important than ever. Usually, hundreds of events are organised around the country, but this year, like the rest of New Zealand, mental health charity I AM HOPE has had to adapt and overcome Covid lockdown challenges to launch its second Gumboot Friday – virtually. The move to go virtual for the charity’s flagship service comes amid rising uncertainties concerning level changes and Covid restrictions. For those New Zealanders without gumboots stowed away in the wardrobe, there are many spots where they’re able to pick a pair up on the cheap. The Warehouse has a handful of options, including glittery boots and gumboots adorned with flamingos. The range all sits around $29. Number One Shoes also has a great selection, ranging from around $15 to $40. Virtual Gumboot Friday, a second event for 2021, aims to raise funds for free counselling services for young people across

WEDNESDAY 3 November 2021

Taryn Beattie has been spearheading the Nelson Tasman Gumboot Friday campaign. Aotearoa, and will go ahead on the originally scheduled date of 5 November 2021. However, I AM HOPE founder and mental health champion Mike King’s 100 km walk, including other community activities originally planned at Auckland Domain, will be replaced by a

two-hour online Motivation Marathon. The Motivation Marathon will see Mike King exclusively address the Gumboot Army, made up of hundreds of dedicated volunteers across the country, who organise individual and community fundraising efforts all over New Zea-

land. Each volunteer or team will be allocated 15 minutes to korero with Mike. Gumboot Friday’s Facebook page will be live streaming throughout the event. Mike King says it’s been tough times, but not as tough as it is for young people who need someone to talk to but can’t access one. “Like all Kiwis we’ve had to have some hard conversations and make tough decisions. It’s been incredibly difficult to come to the decision to postpone our Auckland Domain event because we were trying to make up for the funding shortfall from the first one,” Mike says. The first Gumboot Friday event held in May saw Mike King and supporters walk upwards of 60 kilometers around the Auckland Domain, raising $943,000. The second event is a second attempt to reach the charity’s $5 million. “It wasn’t easy to have to weigh things up and make the call on this. A lot of people had worked hard on it for a long time and a lot of people had been really excited

about it. It was a downer to have to cancel it. “But all we need to do to charge up our energy again is think about all the kids that desperately need counselling and can’t get it, and we’re ready again to think of new ways of doing things, to shake things up, to help these kids be heard and seen,” Mike says. “We now rely solely on the Gumboot Army, made up of wonderful people and communities across Aotearoa, to help us reach our goal. These people are passionate, hardworking and dedicated and without them, we wouldn’t be where we are today,” he says. With the onset of further lockdowns and isolation, I AM HOPE recently launched its Gumboot Friday online counselling service nationwide, with patronage going through the roof, demonstrating young people’s urgent need to access counselling sessions promptly more than ever. I AM HOPE encourages the Gumboot Army to go ahead with events while adhering to appropriate Covid level restrictions

This includes next year’s MET Gala for Mental Health which has already raised more than $100,000 and this week’s Gumboot Friday. Taryn says Covid-19 has been incredibly detrimental to the country’s collective well-being. “We saw so many of our team members, family and friends commit suicide, the impact on people’s mental health has been huge.” She says the services available to those in the deepest grips of depression are inadequate.

Workshops connect local neighbours Jo Kent

In times of uncertainty there is never a better time to connect to people in your neighbourhood, says Top of the South Neighbourhood Support manager Maree Dunlop. “Now is the perfect time to talk to a neighbour, and you can do it safely behind a mask or over a garden fence.” She says that social connection is even more important at a time when people are separated from friends and family during the Covid-19 pandemic. “Feedback we got from our support groups was that there is a disconnect within neighbourhoods. So, our focus has shifted to helping facilitate change within communities with the people who live there at the centre of it all.” She says change begins by just talking to someone you wouldn’t normally speak to. “Talk to someone in your neighbourhood you don’t know. They might be interesting, and you want to spend more time with them ... They might share a hobby with you or have season tickets to the Tasman Mako games. Or they might not, and you can move on to another new person. “You’ll never know unless you

reach out and say ‘hi’.” Maree’s passion for connecting communities and improving neighbourhood relations led to her promotion to manager after just four months as area co-ordinator for the Waimea region. “I’m passionate about helping people reach out to others in their local area and bringing them together in a positive way.” She even set up a Facebook page in her spare time, specifically for people who live in Richmond to keep up with the goings on in the community. “There was nothing like it for Richmond, which is crazy as there are so many people who live here.” After just a few hours of the Richmond Community Group (Tasman, NZ) page going live, people had posted about everything from events happening in the area to lost pets. Her latest project is hosting community workshops at various locations across the Top of the South to help people learn how to connect with each other. Maree’s next community workshop will be on Saturday 13 November at Wakefield School Hall, Edward St, from 2pm to 4pm. “It’s free to attend and we welcome people from all walks of life.” Register your place at tsns.org.nz.

App was the key for Nish Jenny Nicholson Reporter

jennifer@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Nish Lal is a successful real estate agent who looks like she has life sorted, but she is on a mental health journey and there are still some pretty tough days. Finding the Depression.org app has started her on a journey of healing. She rang their 0800 number and finally started getting the help she needed. She grew up in an abusive home. “I’d be beaten to a pulp then told to clean up my own bloody mess,” she says. Her days started with chores, and after school there were more to do before she could think about homework. She was isolated from the world, never allowed to visit friends, or talk on the phone. “I was scared to go home,” she says. “Constantly in panic mode.” At 19 she ran away from home and for a time was homeless, hiding out in university libraries.

It had been instilled in her that teaching was what she should do because it was a girls’ job and could be worked around children. She had a brief stint as a teacher but it wasn’t for her. Over the years she tried to take her life three times. But mostly, she just pretended everything was fine. She had been taught as a child to hide what was happening in her life. Once, when she showed up to school covered in bruises, questions were asked. She started at a new school the following week. Nish wanted to be pretty, to control something in her life and that was her appearance. She ended up with an eating disorder. “I counted calories, even the beers I’d have. I’d calculate how many calories I’d drunk and run them off that night.” Her partner Jordan has helped a lot, telling her women shouldn’t put that pressure on themselves and reminding her that people love her for being her. “I am still obsessed with looks

Just a thought... “MERRY CASHMAS” Yes, it started at Labour weekend, the first advertisement urging you to spend large amounts of cash to bring somebody you love joy at Christmas. It’s a sad fact that a large proportion of younger poeple no longer have any idea of what Christmas is about. The incessant advertisments, the tinsel and glitter, Christmas trees, Santa Claus and his elves, Rudoph pulling the sleigh, Snoopy and the red baron, etc. etc. Spending large amounts of cash can never bring happiness, which can only be found when a person understands what God has provided. That is the free gift of Salvation, eternal life with Him, through Jesus Christ His Son. The account of the birth of Jesus can be found in the New Testament books of Matthew and Luke. Jesus was to be called “Emmanuel”, which means “God with us”. Have a think about the real meaning of Christmas.

and put on make-up each day because I still feel the need to portray myself a certain way,” she says. “It all stems from being told as a child that you’re ugly. That’s the reality.” Four years ago, she came to Nel-

to look at her childhood, and that she was worthy. “I had to look in the mirror and say, ‘I am worthy and destined for great things.’” Nish is still on a journey. She would love to say that her mental health journey is finished, but that’s not how it is. She still has nightmares reliving her childhood. It’s very important to her that she does a good job at work and is always professional. It’s after work that she can still find herself overwhelmed by situations she feels like she cannot control. Nish’s message is that Depression. org is a great place to start. Their number is 0800111757 or text 4202. And she wants people to know it’s ok that mental health is a journey, and that it’s important that when choosing a counsellor, they are someone who cares and suits you.

Proudly brought to you by...

Spectacle in the sky Ruth Russ Halley’s Comet appeared over New Zealand skies in 1910, with reports emerging as early as February. Sightings across the country of the anticipated celestial body were reported in the Nelson Examiner and the Colonist. In Nelson, on the morning of the 21st of April, Joseph Taylor found it visible at 5 o’clock. “The comet was situated below the planet Venus, and the two brilliant objects together presented a lovely spectacle. The comet showed a definite nucleus nearly as large and bright as Venus herself; while her brilliant tail streamed upwards”. Mr Taylor continued, “indications at present are that after it has faded from view a few days hence in the sun’s encroaching glow, and after it has re-emerged above the western hills, Halley’s Comet will present a most

Kennedy during its 1910 appearance. magnificent spectacle in the evening sky next month.” The comet’s tail caused some questions in a few people, who wondered what would happen when the earth passed through the tail. The Nelson Evening Mail printed extracts from a reassuring lecture by Sir Robert Ball, who said, “A comet’s tail is made up of extremely small particles flying away from the sun like smoke from a chimney…about May 18th we

son and just when she thought maybe life would be ok, everything resurfaced. “The wheels started falling off when I least expected it,” she says. “I started believing I really did suck and felt suicidal again.” With Jordan away for two weeks, Nish hit a real low and didn’t know who to turn to. That was when she found Depression.org. “They treat you like it’s serious,” says Nish. “They put me in touch with a psychologist and encouraged me to ring my doctor.” After three free sessions with the psychologist, Nish found that she needed to pay to talk with someone. She tried a few counsellors until she found one who understood her and could help. For Nish, it wasn’t enough to live a balanced life of healthy food and exercise. “That was just changing what I was doing but not changing what was wrong.” The counsellor she settled on helped her realise the abuse wasn’t her fault, that she needed

The comet continued to be seen toward the end of the month, with the Nelson Mail reporting on the best time of day for viewing. Sir Robert remarked, as it passed behind the sun, ‘[now] it is very much like surrounding stars, and one might imagine that comets, like leaf insects, adopt mimicry to protect them from inquisitive astronomers.” The 1910 viewing of Halley’s Comet, with its spectacular tail, was far more impressive than the subsequent appearance in 1986.

The actors starring in a play about the first-ever flight to Nelson 100 years ago have found inspiration in playing the roles of those who sat in the cockpit. On 11 November this year it will be 100 years since the first plane was seen in Nelson skies. Fittingly, the play ‘First Flight’ will be performed at Greenmeadows, the site of the first landing. Local actors Pete Coates and Matthew Edgar will play the parts of passenger Tom Newman and pilot Shorty Fowler and they both enjoyed learning about the flight and the people involved. “I wasn’t aware how important he (Shorty Fowler) was until I started doing research,” Matthew says. “He was an important person for air travel in New Zealand as a whole. And quite a cool person.” He says Tom Newman was a very inventive person who was always

A plaque commemorating the first flight piqued playwright Justin Eade’s interest three years ago.

He set about writing the drama framed around the day of the flight and two of the key people

involved with it. ‘First Flight’ was originally written for the Nelson Heritage Festival but has been revamped for the anniversary on 11 November 2021. “The original flight was a bit dodgy, but the pilot and Tom Newman, who was the only passenger, were willing to give it a go,” Justin says. He says that although the play is primarily about the flight, it does talk about Tom’s life and vision. “Tom Newman was a revolutionary, inspirational and pioneering type of figure in transport,” Justin says the audience who saw ‘First Flight’ really enjoyed it, but he is hoping to have more people through the door this time. Performances run from November 10 to November 13, with two showings a day. The play is part of celebrations commemorating the first flight.

Ollie feels the need for speed Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

From the moment Ollie Workman got behind the wheel, it was clear he was born to drive. The 13-year-old has a penchant for speed which has seen him rack up a mountain of trophies in his short racing career. The Waimea College student was the toast of KartSport Nelson after a dominant performance at the South Island Sprint Championships contested over Labour Weekend. Competing in the biggest class, 125cc Rotax Max Junior, Ollie qualified fastest, won both heats and the prefinal, started the final on pole and steadily moved away from his 18 pursuers to win the 29-lap final by 2.313 seconds from Canterbury’s Blake Knowles. Ollie was not passed once the entire weekend in a dominant performance, leaving drivers up to three years older than him in his dust. “The track was fast because the weather was sunny, and I did

have new tyres, so I managed to drive some personal bests.” With the North Island Championships cancelled, several drivers opted to make their way south for last month’s meet. “He was racing some real hotshots,” says father Andrew. Ollie’s karting career kicked off shortly after moving to Nelson from Timaru. “We were just driving past the track and we thought we’d give him a go, and there’s been no looking back,” Andrew says. The family says they were completely new to karting but Ollie soon made a name for himself. He still recalls his first victory at just seven-years-old in a race against no other drivers. “I came first, but was the only one racing, Nelson didn’t have many young drivers.” With Ollie having racked up plenty of miles around the track, so too have his parents covered plenty of distance to ensure their son can get to as many competitions as possible. He has been as far north as Whangarei and as south as In-

vercargill to race. Despite being a bit nervewracking at times, Ollie’s parents say there is no better feeling than seeing him cross the line for victory. It hasn’t all been podium finishes and trophies for Ollie, however, who has experienced his fair share of nasty crashes. His worst came at nationals when his kart was T-boned and threw him more than a metre in the air. Ollie admits that it took a few races to properly get his mojo back. “I lost some of my confidence but got it back after a month or so the more I drove.” Trained by Matt and Tiffany Hamilton in Christchurch, Ollie belongs to WKS Racing and has already obtained numerous sponsors. His next goal is nationals which are scheduled for Wellington in Easter 2022. Ollie says he is eyeing a career as a V8 driver or potentially even a pilot. Whether driving a supercar or a Boeing 747, as long as Ollie is going fast, he will be happy.

Carrots in October Chris Heywood The day started nice and early, launching our kayaks from Cable Bay. Yolande and I paddled out in search of Gurnard, whilst Corey and Razel went to their favourite spot. Typical for this time of year the wind was offshore and blowing us out the bay at a reasonable pace for drifting. Yolande was the first to hook up with a little kahawai, which subsequently became live bait. Then it was my turn to hook up, pulling in two well fed Gurnard in reasonable time. Then situation normal resumed, drift, paddle, drift, paddle and wondering at what point to call it quits, the sea anchors were no help in these below average conditions. In the kayak you feel every motion and today was like being in a washing machine, the wind was swinging around all points of the compass giving wind on current at times, and a fair amount of slop. Conditions even beat the hardy duo in the tandem kayak and they headed home early. Yolande was still trying to score big with her live bait, she landed a decent fish eventually, just not with her livie kahawai bait.

Brought to you by:

I managed to drift across some more carrots, another goodsized Gurnard, only to have it halfway up when my other line got a strike! I quickly landed the first one and stuffed under my leg for safe keeping and then to deal with number 2. Back to shore landing was a “jump, grab, run” job ... jump out of the yak, grab a handle and run up the beach as quick as you can before the surf takes the kayak, with or without you in it. The wind couldn’t blow the smile off my face though, this was to be my PB for Gurnard at 470mm and I capped off another successful day on the water.

Stoke/Nayland and Athletic College Old Boys are set for an epic showdown next month to decide the Nelson 40-over champions. Both unbeaten after four rounds, the competition leaders again picked up comprehensive victories at the weekend, with just net run rate separating the top two sides. A 90-run win over Taylors Contracting Wanderers/Motueka sees Car Company Stoke/Nayland take first place after four rounds. Stoke skipper Dylan Eginton again anchored his side’s innings with 89 from just 69 with Sean Neal also producing a quick-fire 37 to post a formidable 239/7. The visitors got off to a shaky start in reply which was reduced to 20/3. Then, when Ben Stark claimed the prized scalp of Harsh Visavadiya for 33 runs, the writing was definitely on the wall for Wanderers, which collapsed to a disappointing 149 all out. Elsewhere, Wakatu picked up its first win of the season over the

bottom-placed Nelson College. Wakatu posted 158/7 at Lower Ngawhatu, Nathan Dufeu and Campbell McLean with 46 and 42, respectively, while Will Bixley continues his form with the ball, claiming 3/27. Nelson was all out for 125. A steady but ultimately comfortable chase ensured ACOB also maintained its perfect record this season against Waimea Toi Toi United at Jubilee Park. The competition’s top run scorer Jonty Raxworthy again produced a brilliant all-round performance with 3/27 and 57. ACOB captain Ollie Jones-Allen says it’s been nice to get the season off to a positive start without really hitting top gear. “It has been a good test to the depth of the club at this early stage and we will be reliant on that coming to the fore when we play Stoke in the final with the rep players being away.” Stoke will meet ACOB in an effective 40-over final on December 11 at Marsden Rec. This weekend sees the start of the Tasman Premier League with Stoke and ACOB set to clash in the first round on Saturday.

Have your say on building coastal structures on Council Reserve land

Have your say on the future of Moutere-Waimea parks and reserves

We are seeking feedback on a draft Coastal Erosion Protection Structures on Council Reserve Land policy. This seeks to clarify the landowner approval process and considerations involved when private landowners want to build a coastal protection structure on a Council Reserve.

We administer 156 parks and reserves in the Moutere-Waimea Ward, ranging from small neighbourhood parks through to sportsgrounds and large, multi-use spaces for playing, picnicking, camping and other leisure activities.

Coastal erosion and its impact on coastal property owners is an emotive issue. It involves complex and sometimes, competing issues, including the potential erosion threat to people’s homes. This policy differs from the Coastal Management Project undertaken by our Environmental Policy team which has a broader application and looks at the options for responding to climate change whereas this policy has a specific focus on structures on Council Reserve land.

The draft Moutere-Waimea Ward Reserve Management Plan sets out the vision, objectives, policies, implementation and priorities for parks and reserves located within the Moutere-Waimea Ward for the next ten years. It also asks questions about various aspects of our parks and reserves that you can help answer. View the draft plan online at tasman.govt.nz/feedback and have your say by Friday 17 December.

This policy will ensure we consider all relevant matters consistently and transparently and that those seeking approval for such structures are aware of the issues involved and matters that need addressing. We’d like to have your input so the process provides clear guidance to applicants and identifies any factors we might have missed. Consultation is open between Monday 1 November and Friday 26 November. This will be followed by a hearing and decisionmaking process in December with the aim of making a final decision on the policy in February 2022. You can read the draft policy and provide feedback on our website or get a copy of the policy and feedback form from any of our service centres and libraries. Visit tasman.govt.nz/feedback.

Tasman projects successful in first round of Infrastructure Acceleration Fund We have been invited to submit further proposals for three projects to the next stage of the government’s Infrastructure Acceleration Fund (IAF) process. Managed by Kāinga Ora, the IAF is a contestable fund of at least $1 billion nationally, to allocate funding for key infrastructure to enable housing development within five years. The three Tasman projects to get through the first round represent 621 homes – 100 in Tākaka, 200 in Motueka and 321 in Wakefield.

“The IAF is the funding catalyst enabling us to bring forward a number of developments to benefit the areas within our District hardest hit by the housing situation.

The list of participants will be available to download from our website or pick up from one of our offices from 12.00 pm, Friday 12 November.

Mayor Tim King said being invited to the next stage validates the successful partnership shared with developers and the Council.

You are responsible for taking in anything you put out that doesn't get taken away on the day.

This policy aims to try and provide greater clarity to applicants, such as Pākawau and Awaroa residents, on how to apply for such a structure to be built but also to provide guidance to the Council on whether to grant approval.

The next stage will involve investigating all infrastructure demands, the comparative investment by landowners, links to transport and engagement with iwi. “We have until 16 December to furnish the extra information and make the Council decisions to bring forward planned investment to leverage the IAF funding. This decision may require a degree of consultation.” We will be working with developers to develop the proposals further and clarify the potential impact on the Council’s finances. Staff will discuss these with the Council before seeking formal approval of our proposals for submission in December.

Please be a considerate collector; if you like the look of something, take the whole item. Don't deconstruct or take only parts of an item. The event will take place rain or shine.
