Nelson swimmers are back in the water af-ter a standoff between swim clubs and the ASB Aquatic Centre was ended, thanks to intervention by the Tasman District Council. Last week junior swimmers at the Nelson, Nelson South and Waimea swim clubs were left with nowhere to train after their

usual winter training times at the ASB Aquatic Centre in Richmond were taken away from them by centre managers, Community Leisure Management.CLM, an Auckland-based company that manages the pool on behalf of TDC, has created its own swim academy this season and it gave the new academy most of the swim times the three clubs held previously. This left more than 100 local swimmers out

in the cold – unless they signed up to the CLM academy, which costs $234 a term.Swim club officials and parents were furi-ous they were told they could not train in the only indoor pool in the region that is 25 metres long, the length of most com-petitions the swimmers compete in. Riv-erside Pool is the only other indoor pool in the Nelson and Tasman region, but is 33 metres in length.

TDC, which has recently spent another $325,000 of ratepayer’s money on building an extension to the facility, were left play-ing peacemakers trying to broker a deal after talks between the clubs and centre manager Robert Kennedy broke down.Tasman councilor Judene Edgar, who is also a swim club parent, says there was a

Back from the deadThe decision was made, David Currie’s family would not allow him to live life as a vegetable.They had come to accept medical advice that said he had only a one percent chance of living and if he did he would be blind, deaf and brain dead. They had made the horrific decision to turn off life support and moved him from Nelson Hospital to Nelson Hospice. Af-ter four days of no food or water, but increasing amounts of Morphine for pain, David’s fam-ily thought they had only about 10 hours left with

their father, husband, brother and son. Then he woke up and said he was hungry.“That threw a spanner in the works,” jokes Da-vid’s brother Mark, who along with the rest of his grieving family was in a state of shock as the am-bulance was called for and David moved back to Nelson Hospital.“We had all accepted that he was gone, we were al-ready planning the funer-al and he had been read his last rights by a local priest. We were braced to say goodbye.”In January 2009 David

“I really like the rain. It’s very relaxing and I usually like to stay home anyway and keep warm. It’s warmer if it rains too.”

It has been a wet week in Nelson, so we asked people how it has affected them and

NEWS IN BRIEF

BIG WINNER: Tim Knight has never won anything more than a meatpack from the local pub. So when he recieved a call from Heineken saying he had won an $8000 home entertainment package, he was more than ecstatic. Tim will receieve a Toshiba 55 inch plasma screen television and a laptop cour-tesy of a Heineken Rugby World Cup competition. “It’s certainly pretty wel-coming. There’s nothing in the fridge other than Heineken at the moment.” Photo: Phillip Rollo.

• Nelson Police say the custodial sentence hand-ed down to a man who attacked another man in the early hours of the morning outside a Bridge St bar is a timely reminder of the need to clean up Nelson before the Rugby World Cup. Scott Doug-las Rowe, 30, from Christchurch, appeared in the Nelson District Court on Thursday May 12 and was sentenced to two years and two months in prison for reckless wounding. In November last year Rowe had been drinking in the city when he got into an altercation with another man. Rowe found an empty beer bottle, smashed the end off it and attacked the victim around the head. He then left the scene in a taxi. The victim received lacerations up to 60mm deep, one of which was just 3mm from his jugular vein. Nelson Bays Area Commander Brian McGurk says it was just good luck that the incident didn’t become a homicide.

• NMIT last week announced one of its best an-nual financial results, in its 2010 Annual Report. The report records a group surplus of $5.3m (9 percent of income) as well as the successful com-pletion of a range of projects; the meeting and ex-ceeding of key education performance indicators, objectives and service performance targets.

growing amount of anger and frustra-tion from parents towards the pool for its stance. “Every winter the swim clubs train here, it was one of the reasons it was built, and for them [CLM] to turn around and say ‘well we can make more money this way’ is not on. It is a com-munity facility for the community, not to line the pockets of some Auckland company.”Paul Thornton, president of the Nelson Swim Club, says a letter was received late on Friday by TDC community ser-vices manager Lloyd Kennedy which gave the clubs most of the times it had previously held. “It was a big relief. It was a shock when the whole thing hap-pened. It was very strange situation but we are really happy it’s ended.”Centre manager Robert Kennedy could not be reached for comment.Nelson mayor Aldo Miccio says he was informed of the situation by concerned parents and says he is glad the centre has done a u-turn and allowed swim-mers back in the pool.

Mini ‘tornado’ rips through local businessAn Atawhai business had its roof ripped off early Sunday morning as violent winds and a thunder storm, described as a “mini tornado” shook the small Todd Valley community, near Atawhai.Damage to Burgess Crowley Civil Ltd is ex-pected to be more than $150,000 says its man-ager Ted Walsh, who lives about 40 meters away from the business with his wife Eyvonne. The roof of the com-pany’s shed was thrown behind it and the fram-ing is buckled to such an extent it was still creeking and moving at day break. The storm hit around 3am on Sunday morn-ing say residents and damage to neighbour-ing properties includes ripped up fences, turned over trampolines, miss-ing Sky TV dishes and damage to power lines.Eyvonne says the storm was terrifying and sounded like a jet plane was about to land out-side her front door. She says lightning lit up the whole house and thunder kept them awake. “We knew there would be some damage because we could see sparks fly-ing off the power lines but we weren’t going to go down and have a look, it was frightening…

terrifying.”The company’s receptionist Roz McNeilly, who lives in a cottage about 30 meters away, also felt as if she was in the “eye of the storm”. “It was so scary. It was the most scared I’ve ever been in my life. Wind was coming in the house

and I thought it must have started breaking the windows so I just stayed in the middle of the house. It was so loud and so frightening.”The full extent of the damage to Burgess Crowley Civil was not known until day break when Roz ventured down to have a look and informed Ted. He believes the shed, only built three years ago, will need to be pulled down. Two cars in the shed also suffered minor damage.Out back the roof smashed through a glass house and trees were

felled and left lying across the property. Interest-ingly, two unsecured chicken pens right next to another small shed that had sustained damage, where untouched and still upright: “They usu-ally fall over every time we get any wind up here,” says Eyvonne.The run of poor weather will come to an end to-day, says the Metservice, with fine weather pre-dicted for the rest of the week from tomorrow.

A sporty new coupe from Hyundai will change the game this year. The three-door Veloster has just been launched in Korea. It’s expected in New Zealand late this year.Among its revolutionary design features are one door on the driver’s side but two doors on the op-posite side, allowing easy rear seat access. Veloster introduces a new 1.6-litre Gamma en-gine giving an impressive 6.2 l/100km, with a manual gearbox driven through the front wheels. An automatic transmission will return 6.5 l/100km.And Veloster bristles with hi-tech wizardry.“Hyundai designers wanted to create an eco-vehi-cle loaded with technology that also gives people the connectivity they have everywhere else these days,” explains Tom Ruddenklau, Chief Operat-ing Officer at Hyundai New Zealand.“It has cost US$24 million over a 40-month pe-

riod to develop Veloster – the car is a lot of fun but Hyundai is very serious about this project.”Veloster is part of Hyundai’s new communication brand in South Korea called ‘Premium Youth Lab’ to target the younger generation by offering pre-mium emotional values. The hard-charging auto maker is limiting num-bers available to retain exclusivity. Unlike past coupes using smaller rear-hinged access doors, Hyundai’s fresh take provides a conventionally-hinged door on the passenger side for safe and ready access to the surprisingly spacious rear seats. The passenger-side rear door handle is hid-den to maintain the coupe design. “And with an interior size the best in its class, ad-vanced safety technologies as standard, and sport-tuned electric power steering plus a suspension setup that’s world-class, Veloster is the coupe we are all waiting for,” said Mr Ruddenklau.

Advertorial

‘Revolutionary’ Hyundai expected in NZ this year

suffered a massive heart attack and two strokes simultaneously. It was enough to throw him from his bed, where he was sleeping, and onto the floor, wedging him between the bed and wall. His wife Wendy couldn’t lift or turn David as he laid face down, dead. It took ten minutes for St John to arrive and begin working on him, but another 30 minutes before he responded to CPR treatment.David was dead for 40 minutes and for two full weeks after showed no signs of improvement. That fort-night was diarised by David’s eldest daughter Nicole, now 16. She goes into detail about the medication he was given, tubes going in, tubes go-ing out, seizures, infection and fam-ily meetings, including the meeting six days after the heart attack where Dr Andrew Hamer told them “we don’t think he’s going to make it”. Mark says the feeling amongst the family was at its lowest then. “We all looked at each other and didn’t want to make that decision [to cut life support] then I said to Wendy ‘let’s go get some fresh air’ and said what I thought we should do and she agreed.”Into his fifth day of palliative treatment, includ-ing no food or water, dehydration was setting in and his cracked lips were kept wetted with a gin and tonic-soaked cotton bud. His siblings, including a brother from England, were sitting around his bed at the Hospice, sharing a last gin and tonic with their brother. “That’s what did it I reckon,” jokes Mark. “He was just missing his alcohol.”Shortly after David woke up and said he was

hungry. Family members rushed to get nurses who were doubtful but one nurse enquired: “Hi David, my name is Kate”, he answered, “Hi Kate”. “Are you ok?”, she asked, “I’m alright.”“It was the most amazing feeling, we were all shocked, just shocked. The old bugger wasn’t finished yet,” says Mark.The elation, surprise and joy was overwhelming he says. “Our heads were just spinning, he was given no chance, none and here he was talking.”

David was taken back to hospital and within days was sitting up, eating, drinking, talking and even schem-ing. Nicole was talking to her father when he asked about chocolate bis-cuits, she told him he might not be allowed it, “we’ll tricks the bastards,” he said.David, who works at Opus, says he certainly feels lucky to have sur-vived.

“The little things don’t bother me now, if some-thing starts to annoy me I just laugh it off, it is nothing in the big picture.”And now David wants to give back. After strug-gling to do enough exercise he decided he need-ed a goal – the Buller half marathon. David will walk the 21km and hopes to raise money for two charity’s that mean the world to him, the Heart Foundation and Nelson Hospice.“They have both been pretty important for me and most people that use Hospice don’t have the opportunity to try and give back, I am so I thought it would be a good thing to do.”David is already deep into his training schedule and has attracted support from Hamish Fletcher Lawyers, Nelson Windows and Doors and Opus.

Photo News going digital this weekLocals will get a chance to recapture the 1960’s and 70’s when the digitalised version of Photo News goes viral this week.The friends of the Nelson Library Microfilm Committee responded to community pressure to do something about preserving and making accessible this valuable resource. With funds left over from other microfilming and digitisation projects, a decision was made to digitise the first 12 years of the Nelson Photo News from 1960 to 1972, which covered the period of editorship under Barry Simpson and later, Peter Skinner.To complete a shortfall in funding for the project, the committee applied to be part of a Digital NZ poll, where projects throughout New Zealand competed for votes. The two highest polling projects were each awarded a $10,000 grant. The Nelson Photo News proved a popular choice in the Digital NZ poll, with many comments being posted on the site. The resulting win gave the project sufficient funds to complete the digitisation work, which will see searchable copies of each issue from the chosen years available online. The website is www.photonews.org.nz/nelson and goes online tomorrow.

Local dog best tracker in NZ Recycling bins launched for RWCRecycling bins around Nelson will recycle thousands of tonnes of glass, plastic and paper says Environment Minister and Nelson MP Nick Smith.The Love NZ campaign was offically launched in Nelson last Friday and is timed to coincide with the Rugby World Cup. “The Rugby World Cup is the biggest event New Zealand has hosted. This campaign is about recycling what would otherwise go to landfill and show-ing our 85,000 international guests that we care for our environment. This is about turning large volumes of waste into an opportunity to reinforce our clean, green brand,” says Nick.Bins are in high profile sites like 1903 Square, the Saxton Field sport com-plex, Tahunanui Beach Reserve and Trafalgar Park.

Nelson police dog Saegar was crowned the best tracking po-lice dog in New Zealand last week.Saegar, with handler Julian Lewis, also finished second overall in the four day National Police Dog Championships in Trentham last week.It is the second time the duo have taken out the runners up award with Julian saying one challenge let them down this time round. “We were only 25 points off winning, we dropped points on one exercise and that cost us but I’m pretty pleased to do so well again. He is a special kind of dog and was pretty unlucky not to take it out.”It was also the second time they won the Colin Guppy Trophy for best tracking dog. “I’m very pleased to win that again, that award means a lot to us and shows how good Saegar is, he is a fantastic tracking dog and hopefully we’ll have an-other crack at the top title next year,” says Julian.Another Tasman pair, senior constable Richard Van Ash and Havok placed eighth overall and four of the top eight dogs in the competition were fostered in Tasman, which includes Nel-son, Tasman and Marlborough.

Nayland College won’t need a genie’s wish to reach their third title in as many years at the regional Stage Challenge final tonight. The perennial favourites are confident their continued original-ity and passion will conquer above their secondary school counterparts.The award cabinet at Nayland College’s reception showcases every single title since 2005, except for 2008, and chore-ographer Sam Lagrutta says their latest performance, Just a Wish Away, has the recipe for more success.Just a Wish Away is an Arabian themed performance about a group of kids who come across a magic lamp. But are the genie’s three wishes everything they really desired? “The storyline is some-thing that we haven’t really done be-fore,” says Sam. “That what makes ours different.”With huge success comes huge pressure and that is something the students have had to overcome, he says. “There’s a lot of pressure to come up with something new and exciting, something that hasn’t been done before. There is so much drama behind the scenes it’s not even funny. But it will all come together.”Each school is well aware of the story lines each other has come up with, de-spite ideas trying to be kept hidden. Sam says hearing the other school’s concepts made him even more focussed to master Nayland College’s Arabian performance. “All we can do is hope. I feel confident. I think we have something worth winning for.

We have to beat them regardless and I think our idea will conquer them. It would be un-believable to win. I would probably die.”Nelson’s Stage Challenge, which is likely to be

held bi-annaully in the future, will again be held at Trafalgar Centre. The show starts at 6:30pm with doors open-ing half an hour prior.

What do you want Nelson to be like in 50 years?

St John is encouraging people to have their blood pressure checked for free this Saturday. The free checks are available right around the country and are part of the Stroke Foundation’s national campaign to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of stroke. In Nelson the free checks are held at Nelson city New World and Stoke New World.St John Medical Director Tony Smith says St John is pleased to be supporting the campaign, and will be providing checks right around the country. “This is a good opportunity for people to have a quick, painless check,” he says.“We’re all so busy with families, work, sport and other activities that it can be hard to make the time for something as simple as a blood pressure check, and yet it could end up saving our lives. It’s easy for high blood pressure to go undetected. St John is committed to helping the community to stay healthy, and we’d really encourage you to come along for a free test.”Information about blood pressure and other risk factors for stroke will be provided during the check, and people with raised blood pres-sure will be referred to their GPs for medical advice and treatment.

Alister Gregg can tell you a lot about confection-ary and it’s not because he has a sweet tooth.The Stoke man has run the canteen at the Saxton Stadium netball courts for the past eight seasons, selling lollies, food and drink to netball players and supporters.He will be stepping out of the canteen this year and passing along the keys just as soon as some-one is appointed to replace him.Alister says the best part about the job in the popular canteen has been meeting young players and watch them move up the grades.Several things have changed over the years though, including the new Saxton Stadium com-plex where senior netball is now played.The construction of an indoor facility was an in-teresting thing to watch according to Alister, who says the size of the building now dwarfs the old building where the canteen is located.Being able to have his weekends back over the winter period is just one of the reasons Alister has decided to step down from his roll. He’s now hoping he will have a bit more time to himself.“We have three grandchildren in Christchurch and it’ll probably give me a bit more time to pop down there for a weekend to see them.”Alister says he will be sad to leave the canteen. “I will miss it; I’m not leaving because I find any-thing wrong with the job. I’ll hopefully come along and at least have lunch upstairs some-times.”There have been a number of interesting charac-ters over the years according to Alister, includ-ing one of the smaller customers who had issues with volume control. “I remember one little fella that used to yell, he didn’t really yell at me he just yelled when he was ordering things, I guess he did annoy me but I didn’t say anything because he was a customer and then I thought at home he probably had to yell to make himself heard, so that gave me a different perspective.”Alister has served thousands of netball players and their families over the years and he says it is this, the interaction with the community, that he will miss the most.

WALK ON: Hampden St School students that are taking part in the 20 Summit Challenge this weekend are Matai McGuin-niety, Lola Muddle, and Hannah Mackay-Wright, all 10. Photo: Andrew Board.

Students prepare to summit new challengeSchools across Nelson are preparing to join the mayor, Makos and hundreds of other Nelsonians in the first of the 20 Summit Challenges this Sunday.The 20 Summit Challenge is an event celebrating Summit Rescue Helicopter’s 20th birthday. The 20 Summit Chal-

lenge involves climbing up one or more of 20 local s u m m i t s , starting with a commu-nity climb up the Centre of

New Zealand this Sunday.Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough school students and their families are being encouraged to collect pledges for each climb they participate in, to raise funds for the local helicopter, while also having the chance to win a national competition and meet Richie McCaw.Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter Trust marketing and communications manager Paula Muddle says the com-petition is an opportunity for school children to get active, support a worthy local cause, and win prizes.“We live in such a beautiful region, so The 20 Summit Challenge is a chance for

our local schools to get their staff and students excited about our great out-doors, and rally together to get fit, have fun and raise money for the helicopter.”The trust has committed to using the funds collected from the 20 Summit Challenge to purchase the region’s first FLIR – Forward Looking Infra Red unit – to help locate people at night by sens-ing thermal masses. The 20 Summit Challenge is not just about schools though with the whole community invited to take part and show their support for the rescue heli-copter service. This Sunday’s climb starts from 2pm at the Botanics.

diaryThe Harbour Master’s

Dave Duncan, Harbour Master/Marine Operations Manager.

• The Santa Regina resumed her regular calls, six container vessels, a car carrier, two log ships, a bulk carrier to anchor, a tanker, nine large fishing vessels, a fruit ship, all kept the port busy during the week.• Where some of the local rules come from: Mari-time Rules Part 91. (Google Search and you shall soon find them). Part 91 continues the basic navi-gation safety rules contained in the Water Recrea-tion Regulations, 1974, with some modifications and additions to bring the requirements up-to-date with modern boating conditions and safety expectations.• Part 91 also modifies and carries over some provi-sions from the General Harbour (Nautical and Mis-cellaneous) Regulations 1968 in respect of anchoring and mooring, give way rules, wakes, and proximity to oil tankers and ships carrying dangerous goods.• Part 91 sets basic national navigation standards. These standards may be enforced locally by Regional Councils through consistent bylaws made under the Local Government Act 1974. Regional variation is permitted in the navigation safety bylaws through mechanisms prescribed in Part 91.

Please read the whole rule if there is any doubt.

If in doubt – don’t go out

When Jenny Greenwood went to put her Hira lifestyle property on the market she thought she’d try some-thing different – it turned out to be something wonderful. It’s no secret more and more people are selling their homes without the use of real estate agents, and saving, or even better, pay-ing themselves the commission. Jenny says she has bought & sold ten houses in New Zealand, since moving here from the UK, all using real estate agents but thought she would give it a go her-self this time. “I tried all the usual methods to sell my property. I just couldn’t believe the differ-ence when I signed with Homesell – no stress, no pressure, just confident, professional, prompt service and a great result. Plus I ended up saving a small fortune and got the best price, and fast. Over the 11 years I’ve been in New Zealand I’ve used various agents and agencies and I think Homesell is far superior in efficiency.” When selling a home you need three key items - a home to sell, your lawyer, and lots of buyers. The key to success is finding all the buyers. Remember, the more buyers you have the better your chances are for achieving a sale at the very best price. Of course this is where Homesell fits in by brining you more buyers than you could otherwise achieve with the same budget your-self. Jenny Greenwood has just sold her lifestyle property in Teal Valley Rd, Hira. Her property was of above aver-age value, it is quite a unique lifestyle property requiring very special pur-chasers. Most definitely not your aver-

age three bedroom suburban home on a 600sqm section. For her marketing plan Jenny used most of Homesell’s Ultimate marketing package with a certain bespoke component. With our help Jenny was free to focus on host-ing her open homes while Homesell provided all her marketing bringing buyers direct to her door. Among oth-er marketing methods Homesell used

a nationwide print media campaign, a local print media campaign, street sig-nage for open homes, and detailed bro-chures. Of course the physical marketing was matched with an extensive online

electronic market-ing campaign including the use of an electronic lifestyle memorandum. On top of this, Jenny had full access to all our resources such as copywriting, our production team, and photographers. Homesell responded to all Jenny’s on-line queries on her behalf (of which there were many). Our services in-cluded a weekly marketing report analysing her results & recommend-ing changes to her marketing mes-sage where needed. Using Homesells’ services you the seller are always in full control. There is amazing transpar-ency between you and your buyers. For more information on our many marketing packages and how Home-sell NZ’s largest private sale property company can bring more buyers to your door, helping you to sell for the best price, call Helena on 545 0064 or 0800 003 001 or email us at [email protected]

The city’s Riverside Pool is closed due to a signifi-cant electrical fault and is unlikely to open before Wednesday.The Riverside Pool and Fitness Centre on Riv-erside Drive, operates seven days a week and is owned by the Nelson City Council but managed under contract by Community Leisure Manage-ment. Council’s executive manager network services, Alec Louverdis, says the fault was identified on Saturday afternoon but the pool temperature and chlorine levels were sufficient to allow the pool to

stay open until the normal closing time. “The fault was caused by the failure of the three phase switch that supplies the facility and may have been contributed to by the recent storms. The parts necessary to repair the system are on their way from Christchurch but it’s unlikely all repairs will be completed, and water temperature sufficient to open the pool before Wednesday morning.” Council apologises to those customers who may have been inconvenienced by this unexpected closure.

Victory wins national award for fight against pokiesThe efforts of Victory to rid its community of pokie machines has earned it a national award.The award was presented to Hester Phillips and Darci Goldsworthy, of the Nelson Gambling Task Force, by Dr Phillip Townsend of the Problem Gambling Foundation, in Nelson last week after fog meant the duo could not fly to Auckland to collect it in person.The national award was created to recognise and celebrate those who work towards solving problem gam-

bling.The Nelson Gambling Task Force is currently taking the Nelson City Council to a Judicial Review of their decision to change the Coun-cil Gambling Policy in order to al-low a pokie bar to open in Victory. They have raised $20,000 and a huge amount of community aware-ness. They are a voluntary group of passionate people who are work-ing hard to ensure councils follow proper processes and communities are protected.

If you’re thinking of building the perfect life-style house, Platinum Homes gives you more. More options, more room, more comfort, more features, more class – at a price you won’t believe.

Platinum Homes show home at 762A Main Rd Stoke reveals the extent and quality of features that come standard in a Platinum home. In con-trast to most other show homes, which often fea-ture non-standard ex-tras to wow its visitors, “what customers see in a Platinum show home, is what they will get in their very own Platinum home,” says manager Brendon Gridley. Some of those extra features that come as standard include RibRaft floors, DVS ventilation systems, highly specified bathrooms and kitchens, super styl-ish Modena light switches and hardwired smoke alarms.Platinum Homes specialises in single storey homes, clad in either brick, or plaster over brick and with concrete tile roofs. Platinum home owners enjoy the exceptional value made possible by their ex-tensive range of tried and tested home de-signs, constructed using mostly New Zealand made products, and where possible using local manufacturers to support the local com-munity. Each Platinum home also comes with a seven-year independent guarantee.Brendon and wife Linda

manage Platinum Homes’ northern South Island division which extends from Nelson and Blenheim to Hanmer Springs and Kaikoura right through to Hokitika and Westport. Brendon had previously

been a builder for 12 years and Linda man-ages the administration side of the business in between looking after the couple’s three young children. Brendon and Linda say building your own home is an impor-tant and emotional un-dertaking and they go out of their way to make

it an enjoyable and stress

free experience.

Brendon and Linda truly believe that home building is a partnership between all parties involved, and are very proud of the relationships they have formed with all of their clients.

Clients can personal-ise one of Platinum’s 55 standard home plans, choose from their li-brary of plans from over 1000 happy clients, or bring their own designs in. There is even a range for first home buyers and investors. The best way to clarify your require-ments is to take advan-

tage of Platinum’s free site appraisal, where the pos-sibilities of your site, your plans ideas and dreams, and the Platinum experience can be fully realized. When you choose a Platinum home you choose a sharp, stylish, modern home. You also choose qual-ity, service and reliability as Tony and Lisa discov-ered:

“We have had a wonderful experience building with your company. From the start your program showed a lot of professionalism in planning and construction and we were always well informed with outcomes and progress. Each of your tradesmen were efficient and their detail to work showed a lot of pride in fin-ish and standards. Jackie and Linda were most help-ful through the setting up of the contract and always ready to make time to help with any questions that

we had relating to the build. Brendon’s detail to every issue was to a very high standard and his standards are to a level that provides confidence to his cli-ents to know that they are in professional hands from start to finish. I have no diffi-culty in recommend-ing Platinum as the top builder within this region. We have built

15 homes over the last 35 years and this is by far the best.” Tony and Lisa Marriott.

Brendon, Linda, and sales consultant Jacki invite you to come and check out the show home, and see why they are different from other building companies.

14 year-old scores on Chatham Cup debut

IN BRIEF

LETS CELEBRATE: Nelson Suburbs veteran Matt Ayloff carries 14 year-old Ross McPhie back to half way after the youngester scored for Suburbs in its Chatham Cup win over FC Nelson on Saturday. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

He may be a small boy, but Ross McPhie’s goal-scoring debut shows he certainly has a big fu-ture ahead.The creative midfielder continues his rapid rise in local football as he netted for AMI Nelson Suburbs in its 4-1 Chatham Cup victory over FC Nelson, a special moment for the 14 year-old debutant who continues to prove size is no barrier in football.With four players unavailable, Nelson Suburbs coach, John Slotemaker, put his faith in the youngest members of the club, meaning the Nelson Pine Industries first division standout received his first call up alongside the Mainland Premier League squad.Ross was substituted on in the 70th minute and showed his class from the get-go, linking well with fellow debutant Cory Brown, 15. He re-ceives applause nearly every time he plays, but Ross received the biggest applause of his career ten minutes later. Some quick jinks at the left post beat his man before smashing the ball in to the right hand corner. “It was big experience for me being named in the team and then com-ing on as well. Just before I came on I was really nervous but then you kind of just get in to it and it’s alright.” Ross says. “But to put away the goal was pretty good.”Even at his tender age, John says there is “no doubt” Ross is the next star to come out of Nelson football, comparing him to former All White Keith MacKay, due to his stature. “He’s very small but technically he’s very good. He’s going to be a very good footballer. I think he showed, the way he put away his goal, that he certainly has the ability.”Ross is “lightyears” ahead of footballers his own age according to his coach, but the Nelson Col-lege year ten student says it has been a “tough challenge” stepping up to first division and then Chatham Cup in the same year. “But it feels pretty amazing. The guys are really supportive and help you along.”Ross is an obvious choice for Dave Shaw’s Nel-son College first XI when national secondary school qualifying begins later in the month, al-though he played down his cards of selection.His next target will be making his Mainland Premier League debut for the side. “I’m trying hard but I’m having fun.”Nelson Suburbs will face rivals Richmond Ath-letic, who beat Marlborough Mariners 5-2, in the next round of the 84th year of the Chatham Cup.

BASkETBAll: Fico Finance Nelson Gi-ants couldn’t hold on to a late comeback against the Manawatu Jets on Friday night, going down 95-94. The entertaining clash went right down to the wire after some clutch Phill Jones three pointers gave the Giants the lead for the first time, late in the fourth quarter. But Darryl Dora’s missed free throws were a giant slip up, with Phill and birthday boy Mika Vukona unable to save them at the death. The Giants take on the Saints in Wellington on Thursday.

RUgBY: Nayland College first XV put in a strong first half performance against St Thomas College of Canterbury on Sat-urday, despite their eventual 60-3 defeat. Nayland College was trailing 14-3 at half-time, still well in the contest. Patrick Tafili-Reid came close to scoring its first try of the Press Cup only to be brought down inches away from the line.

ShooTing: Cable Bay Pistol Club is hold-ing its open day on May 29 and is welcom-ing the public to come try the alternative sport. The day also doubles as a fundraiser for NZ open team member Brian Bishop to get to the World IPSC Championship in Greece. There will be trained range officer supervision but eye and ear protection is required. The pistol club is on Cable Bay Rd, Hira. Follow the signs and red flag on the left, past the 4x4 motorbikes. Entry is $5 per person plus a donation for ammo. The open day runs from 10am to 3pm. Contact Brian on 526 7798 or 027 458 3055.

RUgBY: Riki Hoeata, a lock or loose for-ward and brother of Highlanders forward Jarrad Hoeata, is the latest player to sign with the Tasman Makos. The Tasman Makos’ ITM Cup season kicks off against Northland at Whangarei on Saturday, July 16.

After a slow start and down by 9 – 14 at the major break, Nayland Col-lege A came alive in the third quar-ter to outscore Richmond Wakatu Hotel B 10-5 and level the score at 19 all.Nayland’s Olivia Clarke swapped her goal defence bib of last week to goal attack and did a fine job of complementing shooter Deanna Hunt.Wing defence, Ashley Snape toiled to apply pressure on the outside of the circle while young circle de-fender, Sarah Reidie scrapped for everything while pulling in numer-ous rebounds to deny the second opportunity.A couple of unforced errors by the less experienced college girls gave Richmond the crucial turnovers which were converted to take the game 28–25.In the Collegiate 1 game Nelson College 9A had a tough assignment when they met the well polished Waimea College 9A side. Nelson had limited preparation and the new combinations took time to settle, however coach Pen-ny Sue Franklin said her girls tried hard against the tight defence of Waimea. Nelson created turnovers however the attacks needed to have more confidence to let the ball go.

Goal attack, Abbey Franklin took on a hefty load of court work and shot well given her limited oppor-tunities.Merekara McGuinnietty was a de-mon in the mid court while Mi-kaela Collier had her work cut out as she worked to contain the classy Waimea shooters.Waimea recorded a 38–14 win.Waimea Intermediate 8A was too strong for Nelson Prep Gold in the Junior 1 grade, running out win-ners 41–11.The Waimea team has the benefit of having the majority of last year’s 7A while Nelson Prep are still working on their combinations.Abbey Munro put in a “player of the day” performance, firstly at goal at-tack and in the final quarter in the unaccustomed position of wing attack which she handled with aplomb.Goal defence, Olivia Denis put in a fine performance in the first half before racing off to play her hockey game while centre, Emily Mills proved to be an effective link through court.UMPIRING APPOINTMENTSFour Nelson Centre umpires - Mary Ellis, Kate Smith, Marie Smith and Deb Vincent have been appointed to umpire at the New Zealand Age Group Tournament to be held in Nelson in July.

Ben Nalder

The great escapeA pulsating finish capped off one of the greatest matches in Press Cup history.The fairytale script couldn’t have been written any better as Nelson College first XV stole the match at the death to win 20-16 against fierce ri-vals Waimea College first XV, although Waimea College will feel robbed with a dubious second half try awarded to Kasi Sami despite sugges-tions of a knock-on over the chalk.

Nelson may have used their get out of jail free card, it was a comeback for the ages, coming from 13-5 down in the final eight minutes to snatch glory.Mitchell Drummond, who had left his kicking boots at home, went from zero to hero as he sped in between the two posts to deny Waimea of a famous victory and kept the home side’s 2011 unbeaten record intact.

Ben Nalder is a good sort, and now he is now a heck of a good sport as well.Ben has made a name for himself as an enthusiastic and successful real estate agent, recently taking home the Summit runners up award for sales in the region. His no hassles, no pressure approach has won him plenty of acco-lades as well but that isn’t enough for Ben – now he is hoping to help your local sports club.Ben says he came up with the idea to donate $200 from every house listed and sold with him to a sports club of the sellers choice while preparing for a rugby game last month – see Ben is also a sport lover, he plays rugby, cricket, golf (badly), volleyball, snowboards, touch and squash.“I was sitting in the changing rooms and we didn’t have enough strap-ping tape and being an old bugger I sort of need that. So I thought how great it would be if we had a bit of

extra cash and then I thought that there are a lot of sports clubs out there that probably need a bit of extra money to help them out and thought this would be a great way to do it.”So if you’re thinking of listing your home, talk to a good sort and a good sport. Ben will make the process

easy and comfortable, no pressure, no rush. After years in the industry he knows how to market and sell your house effectively and efficiently and if you do it with Ben you get to help out your favourite sports club at the same time.Give Ben a call on 545 6100 or 021 524 965.

NEW WORLDSTOKE

Stoke Reds were the toast of the club on Sat-urday, picking up their innaugral win of the year.Two early tries paved the way for Tahunanui Super Liqour Stoke Reds as they held on 38-12 against Moteuka United at Greenmead-ows.Nathan Gibson was a standout on the park as Stoke Reds played some enterprising rugby in much better conditions than last week-end’s downpour at Jubilee Park.A wee lull in concentration part way through the game saw Motueka come back with a couple of good tries, but a strong Stoke Reds forward pack saw then ease to victory.Stoke Reds play Marist at the Tahunanui Playing Fields this Saturday.Accesman Stoke didn’t fair to well on the scoreboard going down 40-10 to champion-ship leaders Wakatu Marist.Stoke shuffled the starting XV hoping to knock over the high flying greens. But even with quarter of the game played against 14

men, Stoke struggled to score points. Jack Umaga, playing in the playmaker role, was a standout alongside the hardworking lock, Stu Tunncliff, and flanker Tevita Koloamatangi. An early try to Marist’s number eight Mark Bright gave the away side plenty of momen-tum early, but it was a second half flourish that saw them home. Stoke midfielder Sione Holani scored a consilation try in the final minutes, but it was too little too late. Shaun Begg scored a penalty before the halftime break.Stoke’s Divison 2 side will be hoping their home crowd advantage will see them home this week after two defeats on the run have left the injury depleted side in a rut. Stoke made the long trip to Murchison on the weekend with only two reserves, but it wasn’t long before they were called upon through injury. They lost 41-0. The team’s three MVP points for the weekend went to hooker Max Glossop. Brett Dickens and James Mason were second and third.
