Rising costs are forcing two Marlborough churches to close. Catholic churches at Renwick and Havelock are to shut permanently it has been revealed. The move comes after a costcutting review by the Pastoral Council into church properties. The congregation was informed over the weekend. Churches at Blenheim, Picton, Kaikoura and Seddon will remain open. Star of the Sea Marlborough Te Whetu O Te Moana Catholic Parish Pastoral Council chairman Greg Stretch says it was a difficult decision for all involved. “Parishioners have been kept informed all the way; they’re upset but that’s completely understandable. “It was not an easy decision.” Renwick’s Catholic Church dates back to 1907. The Sacred Heart Church on Lawrence Street is also to shut. Both hold mass about once a month, Greg says. “We will still make sure that the pastoral needs of their communities are looked after. Now we need to work on the next steps and what happens now.”
The Archbishop of Wellington, Cardinal John Dew, last year asked all parishes in the archdiocese to review their properties. Spiralling maintenance costs, high earthquake-related insurance levies and calls by Pope Francis for Catholics to look beyond their physical churches sparked the review. “I am very grateful and appreciate the hard and difficult work done by the Star of the Sea Pastoral Council in conducting this review,” Cardinal Dew says. Cardinal Dew says it has not been a simple task choosing which churches to close. “I know it has not been a simple task to balance the requirements of local parishioners across such a geographically wide parish with the need to keep church finances in order in these difficult times.” The proposals have been approved by the Pastoral Council of the region’s Star of the Sea Te Whetu O Te Moana Parish. “Most smaller churches were built in an era when people had no cars and walked to Mass. “Today, with fewer priests, rising costs and parishioners more likely to drive to Mass, parishes have been asked to reorganise how they engage with their communities,” Cardinal Dew says.

Covid career switch
Matt Brown
It took 120 emails and a nervous wait but within an hour, a Blenheim man secured a new career. David Swanson moved to Australia three years ago, but as COVID-19 pandemic’s grip tightened on the world he says his family made the decision to move back. And within an hour of sending out his CV to hundreds of Marlborough firms he had five job offers. He is now one of the newest recruits at Martella Refrigeration & Air Conditioning, working as an apprentice refrigeration engineer. Martella owner Craig Martella says because of the strong Marlborough economy, and community support, he’s been able to hire four new workers. “It’s a testament to the Marlborough economy,” Craig says. “There’s been a lot of interest in positions. There’s more interest from older people – people looking for change and future job security.” He says finding experienced refrigeration technicians is still hard – but that shows it as a strong competitive field for

Teens’ help tech-troubled seniors Matt Brown Reporter
matt@marlboroughmedia.co.nz
A tech-savvy student is helping pensioners get to grips with technology while fundraising for charity at the same time. Entrepreneur Jack Unwin, 16, from Blenheim has launched a new business – TechZupport. And while his prime goal is to help people struggling with technology, companionship has been a bonus, he says.
“It’s teaching basic skills, like using Facetime, TVNZ OnDemand or Netflix,” Jack says. “We have a cup of tea, a chat and learn about technology together.” “We want to give them a better understanding. It’s giving an idea about new technology, so they don’t feel swamped.” The Year 12 Marlborough Boys’ College student wants to go on to study engineering at university. In the meantime, his new company focuses on com-
panionship and learning together rather than simply fixing a problem. He says TechZupport is off to a good start with several repeat customers. “Part of it is learning business myself,” he says. “I’d like to invest in, grow and expand the company. Jack says he’s actively looking to partner with banks and medical institutions to provide tailored help with things like online banking and health monitoring software. “I’d love to help out in those scenarios. It helps doctors
and patients.” As a Graeme Dingle board youth representative, Jack says starting the business isn’t just about money, with a percentage of each job going to the charity. But ultimately, he would like to see it grow bigger with 16-year-old Jack Unwin is helping people make dreams of expanding the sense of technology is.

Top up for local schools A Marlborough based fuel company is helping keep hundreds of school children topped up with technology & sports equipment. Southfuels, a New Zealand wide bulk fuel distribution company, has donated $80,000 to schools across the Marlborough region through their Fuel for Schools sponsorship programme. The nationwide initiative has helped put more than $1 million dollars of resources into more than 350 rural schools in the last twelve years. Pupils at Richmond View School in Blenheim are the latest to benefit, with a special technology package worth more than $5000 delivered on Thursday, this package included 11 Chromebooks, an iPad and other technology for the classroom. Southfuels Marlborough account manager Maisie Davison says customers nominate a school to receive 50 cents for every 100 litres of bulk fuel they have delivered. “I’d like to give a big shout out and massive thank you to all our customers throughout the Marlborough region who contribute and all the schools who

“Being able to see just how much there is and how excited the children are is great. It’s like Christmas.” When a participating school reaches a $1000 in donations they can pick between a technology or sports package. Richmond School principal Dave Pauling says the donation makes a big difference to students. “It helps enormously. We know what we need, and we get to choose. Some of these things go to children who might not have them otherwise.”

Kaikōura electorate candidates: What is your position on the 2020 euthanasia referendum?
Darlene Morgan, NZ Outdoors Party. Photo: Supplied.
Dr Richard McCubbin, Green Party. Photo: Supplied.
All life is precious. I respect that anyone who is suffering may want to end their life. I feel the Bill would create issues. Some people given short ‘terminal’ life expectancies have fought and overcome this to live a much longer and happier life - the option to end your life may impact on this. It could also impact on diagnosis – a lot of pressure on doctors and patients I imagine and concern for the responsibility and the weight of it all. Not sure if I will vote on this one.
Euthanasia is a very challenging issue for me as a doctor. The quality of treatment now available in caring for the dying has improved hugely, and doctors can almost always provide terminally ill patients relief from suffering and as good a quality of life as possible. However, I have come to believe that when it is impossible to ease unbearable suffering, there should be the option of assisted dying. As a doctor and Green candidate I support this very closely regulated proposed law and will vote ‘yes’ in the referendum.
Social Credit and New Conservative candidates have been approached for comment.

Tech-savvy parents means safe kids Russ Smith Senior Community Constable It would be fair to say that many parents don’t have a good grasp of the apps and technology their kids are using online. Unfortunately this often means that those young people are at far greater risk of bullying and abuse, simply because there are no real protections in place while they are online. Netsafe is New Zealand’s independent, non-profit online safety organisation. It was formed after NZ Police, Ministry of Education and several not for profits teamed up with Telco’s and IT partners in response to concerns about online safety, and was founded in 1998. Police highly recommend that all parents of children and teenagers make themselves familiar with the Netsafe website. You can visit the site at netsafe.org.nz or just type ‘Netsafe’ into the search bar on your browser. The site has lots of helpful information that gives parents an understanding of the apps and media that their young people are using,
and has plenty of advice and tips on how to make their online experience safer. Resources like the ‘Online Safety Parent Toolkit’ and the ‘Parents’ tab have a wealth of information and advice to help set your young people’s apps and browser so that they are not revealing personal, private or location details, and there is also advice on how to talk to young people about being online safely and how to protect themselves. The site has everything from online gaming tips, understanding Tik Tok and minimizing the risks of sharing images and video moments of your children online, to safe settings and teaching children online safety. Don’t take the risk of exposing your young person to online risks, visit Netsafe and learn how to keep them safe online.

MBC claim notable scalp Peter Jones Reporter
peter@marlboroughmedia.co.nz
The Marlborough Boys’ College First XV claimed their first highprofile scalp of the season on Saturday, downing Christ’s College 17-14 on the MBC front field. In previous encounters against top sides in the University of Canterbury Championship MBC have shown early promise, but ultimately failed to deliver. Not this time though, a superb defensive effort setting up a welldeserved victory. MBC tore into their work from the outset and led 10-0 for much of the first half, before conceding a converted try just before the halftime whistle. Christ’s, who were second on the UC championship table, threw everything at the home side but were regularly driven back in the tackle and bettered at the breakdown. The second half followed a similar pattern, MBC using the ball intelligently and defending resolutely, led by outstanding performances from midfielders Jake Pacey and Tom Hobson, fullback Cam Collins, plus replacement loosie Archie Schluter, No 8 Viliami Napa’a and hooker Ben Dalton. A converted try to replacement hooker Te Ariki Peipi after 60 minutes allowed MBC a 10 point lead and, although Christ’s came back at the very end to pick up a bonus point with a converted try, it was very much the home side’s day. Head coach Matt MacDougall said, “We have had a good eightday conversation around effort
… not tactics and game shape, or worrying about the scoreboard, we have just talked about being able to come off the field and being able to say you have given your all. And that’s what they did today, especially on defence.” “The biggest thing for me was that they kept getting off the ground and working for each other. “The boys have showed glimpses of that sort of form … that was the fifth game this season we have led at halftime … but this time they showed they could keep it up for the full 70 minutes, and that’s what we have been looking for.” Next week MBC meet Christchurch BHS in Christchurch. Scores: MBC 17 (Monu Moli, Te Ariki Peipi tries, Kyren Taumoefolau 2 con, pen) Christ’s College 14 (Sean Rutherford-Bradford, Matt Durant tries, Nic Shearer 2 con). HT: 10-7 MBC. Other scores: Timaru 50 Roncalli 20; Christchurch BHS 25 Nelson 13; Rangiora 22 Waimea 17; St Thomas 70 Mid Canterbury 3; St Bede’s 68 Lincoln 7; St Andrew’s 29 Shirley 13. Meanwhile, in division one action, Central came out on top of a 2019 grand final replay at Lansdowne Park. They headed off Waitohi 26-16, maintaining their unbeaten 2020 record and underlining their favouritism for end-of-season honours. They also held on to the Tasman-wide John Goodman Challenge Trophy and the weekly MRSU challenge cup. Both teams scored a try in the first spell, Tim O’Malley’s two penalties plus a conversion of

Taine Cragg-Love’s touchdown giving the visitors a 13-8 advantage at oranges. However the second spell told a different story, Central scoring the first 15 points through tries to lock Jesse Eising and centre Timoci Tavatavanawai, plus a Mitch Smith penalty and conversion. O’Malley booted his third penalty to close the gap, before Smith slammed over a long range effort to allow the Blues a 10-point lead which proved enough, despite a late flurry from the defending champs. For Central, props Peter and Tino Vakaloa had strong games, along with hard-charging flanker Siatoki Baker, while halfback Ethan Jones, plus midfielders Timoci Tavatavanawai and Jake Cresswell, were prominent.
Cragg-Love was outstanding for the Tohis, along with hooker Taimi Fangatua and prop Losi Malimali, while Dylan McManaway and O’Malley steered the ship expertly. In Seddon, the home side were unable to grab a much-needed win over Renwick, the Green Machine prevailing 31-21 to consolidate second spot on the table. They scored two tries in each half and led 17-14 at halftime. Awatere closed to 24-21 midway through the second spell before a late try to prop Ty Bampton clinched a bonus point win for the Green Machine. Try-scoring prop George Tuineau was Renwick’s player of the day. Central 26 (Jesse Eising, Timoci Tavatavanawai, Mitch Smith tries,
Mitch Smith 3 pen, con) Waitohi 16 (Taine Cragg-Love try, Tim O’Malley 3 pen, con). HT 13-8 Waitohi. Renwick 31 (George Tuineau, Josh Holdaway, Ty Bampton, Atunaisa Taufa tries, Michael Dillon 4 con, pen) Awatere 21 (Sione Vea 2, Flynn Struthers tries, Franco Quinones 3 con). HT: 17-14 Renwick. Division one standings: Central 27, Renwick 25, Waitohi 18, Awatere 6, Moutere 6. In Saturday’s Tasman women’s division one semifinal, Moutere were well beaten 41-0 by title favourite Waimea Old Boys in Nelson. In division two action, Central beat Moutere 35-21 at Lansdowne Park.

Rangers, Bullets bag knockout cup wins
Peter Jones
Rangers AFC, unbeaten in the Nelson division one competition this season, continued their proud record in top of the south competition when they scored a 3-1 win in the first round of the Price Charity First Division Cup knockout competition on Saturday. They met Nelson Suburbs FC Development, who they downed 2-1 in the league the previous weekend, goals to Pablo Dominguez, Sam Pearson and Carl Connor-McClean getting the job done for the Blenheim-based outfit at Saxton Fields. Suburbs led 1-0 early on before Dominguez levelled the scores just before halftime. After 65 minutes Pearson nodded in a powerful header to give Rangers the lead but the home side had the next chance to score, earning a penalty around the 75 minute mark. However, they hit the woodwork and then, to rub salt into the wound, Connor-McClean earned a penalty for the visitors, which he converted himself to allow them a two-goal advantage which they held until the end. Rangers’ players of the day were Jordy Columbus, Scott Belsham, Julian Delgado and Jono Masters. The high-flying BV Blenheim Bullets women’s side also showed their scoring pedigree. Competing in the Nelson First
Division Cup they slammed 16 unanswered goals past Nelson College for Girls First XI at A and P Park. The home side peppered the students’ goal, with seven shots finding the target in the first half. Hat-tricks were registered by Lauren Sloan and Tiana Williams, with Freya Thompson rounding out the scoring. The second half was equally goal-rich for the BV side with a further five goals to Williams, one unfortunate own goal for Nelson, another to Sloan, and one apiece to Kirsten Pease and Riley Preece. Player of the day was Williams whose hunger for the game and goal scoring were top notch. The team also farewelled Pease whose work will take her away for the rest of the season. In local Mayfield Motorworld action, division one sides BV Masters and Central Wolves were engaged in a tight tussle at Athletic Park, Wolves com-
ing away with a 3-2 win after scores were tied 2-2 soon after halftime. Scott Wilkinson scored all three of Wolves’ goals, while Seamus Knox scored a brace for Masters. In the other division one match, Central Buccaneers downed BV Cobras 3-2. Thom Hall 2, and Nate Lovell scored for Central, Mark Jackson and Nick Kerry finding the target for Cobras. The scores were level, 2-2, at the break before a superb free kick from Scott Hannan and a well-placed header from Hall broke the deadlock. In division two games at A and P Park, Trojans Dribbles beat Redwood Masters 4-0 while Rangers Development downed Rangers Clubs of Marlborough 3-0. Division three action featured a 4-1 win by Rangers Masters over Call Care Spartans and a 2-1 win by Central Privateers against Picton, both games at A and P Park.

Toko take out first round trophy Peter Jones Tokomaru maintained their unbeaten record and wrapped up the first round premier netball title at Stadium 2000 on Tuesday night - but it was a close-run thing. They came out of their match against Pelorus with a 48-47 victory, holding their nerve through the final stages of a scrappy, but highly entertaining encounter. Pelorus needed to beat Toko by five or more goals to pip the Picton side for the first round trophy but in the end would have just settled for a win over their fellow 2019 finalists. Eight goals adrift at the halfway stage after a horror second quarter, won 17-8 by Toko, Pelorus showed resilience to fight back into the equation and were within three at the 45-minute mark. The final quarter was frantic, from both sides, with turnovers aplenty and pressure ramped up at both ends of the court. In the end it was Toko’s ability to convert less possession into more goals during the final stanza that decided the issue. While Pelorus battled to find a
way into their shooting circle, Toko often used high balls to find their ace shooter, Haze Tepuia, who landed 40 of his 42 attempts. Pelorus will be disappointed to lose a match in which they won three of the four quarters, but will take heart from a gutsy effort throughout court, led by the everimproving Oriana Houra, Jalen King and Jordan Peipi in defence, Laura Murphy, Jenna Seabrook in midcourt and shooters Paige Lovell, who went off court with an injury late in the final quarter, plus Olivia Pinkerton. However, the night and the first round belong to Tokomaru. They are a formidable unit, combining defensive grit with attacking prowess. Defenders Michaela Boaz, Chloe Devir and Eden Te Huki are turning into a formidable unit, while the Wilson sisters in midcourt provide thrust and vision. Their attack is based on the shooting accuracy of Tepuia but his combination and circle movement alongside the ever-reliable Gemma Hika is key to their success. The evening’s other two games were hard-fought but with diver-
Young defender Jackson McLaren, midcourter and goal attack Simone Pedersen, shooters Lauren Murray and Stacey Hopkins plus the effervescent Mikayla Avant shone for the Quins. Awatere, who utilized 11 players, were well served by keeper Harriet Ryan, shooter Aimee Jones, Courtney Ryan and micourter Kim Andrews.

First up SMOG showed their experience and ability to control a game when they accounted for Marlborough Girls’ College 7055. Two strong first quarters did the damage for SMOG, earning them a 12-goal advantage at halftime, which they extended to 15 by the end of the match as MGC tightened up their defence and maintained possession better.
Mako men draw first blood
Peter Jones
The Tasman Mako Wider Training Group team battled their way to a 42-31 over their Wellington counterparts at Lansdowne Park on Wednesday. In perfect conditions, both sides took the opportunity to give the ball plenty of air and further their individual chances of Mitre 10 Cup selection later in the season. The set pieces were relatively evenlyfought, young Max Hicks standing out for Tasman at lineout time, while loosies Isaiah Miller and Braden Stewart were prominent in defence and, in Stewart’s case, with ball in hand. There was much interest in the performance at fullback of NZ Sevens player Andrew Knewstubb, but he had few chances to show his wide range of skills and pace. Parata steered Tasman around the park well with his trusty left boot and, although he missing touch from a couple of penalties, generally impressed. Tasman coach Gray Cornelius was happy with the hit-out. “It was really good to see that next tier of players playing at a higher
level than club … there were some really pleasing things to come out of [the match]. “We got some guys in the Mako jersey for the first time too, so that was pretty cool. The Wellington side were perfect opposition for us at this stage of proceedings, just what we needed.” Cornelius suggested Louie Chapman, who came on at halfback in the second spell had a good outing, along with Hopoate Taufa, who entered the fray when Fox-Matamua departed. He also mentioned wingers Jamie Spowart and Tavatavanawai, plus Parata who “had some good touches”. Now it is back to club rugby for the aspiring Mako men, then some will be involved in the final Mako hit-out before NPC, against Canterbury in Hanmer on Friday, September 4. The Mako side will be named late August. Scores: Tasman Mako WTG 42 (Taina Fox-Matamua, Kershawl SykesMartin, Timoci Tavatavanawai 2, Braden Stewart, Tim O’Malley tries, Campbell Parata 6 con) Wellington Lions WTG 31 (James Tuia, Bruce Kauika-Peterson, Cullum Harkin, Shamus Langton, Aiden Morgan tries, Morgan 3 con). HT: 28-14 Tasman.
SMOG’s best were midcourters Katie Bradley and Anna Thomas, Bonnie Morris in defence and sharp shooter Anna Gardiner. Skipper Mya Wiapo, midcourter Anika Moetaua, the versatile Fiaalii Solomona and shooter Taila Town impressed for the students. In a physical encounter on court two, Harlequins won all four quarters against Awatere, prevailing 69-38 in another high-scoring clash.
Scores: Tokomaru Crafar Crouch Picton 48 (Haze Tepuia 40/42, Gemma Hika 8/13) Pelorus Edridge Contracting 47 (Paige Lovell 33/54, Olivia Pinkerton 13/17, Courtney Avery 1/3). Quarter scores (winning team first): 12-13, 17-8, 11-16, 8-10. Harlequins Radich Law 69 (Lauren Murray 38/49, Stacey Hopkins 24/31, Simone Pedersen 7/11) Awatere 38 (Aimee Jones 29/43, Hannah McCabe 8/11, Elizabeth Solly 1/1, Tori McCulloch 0/2). Quarter scores: 16-9, 20-12, 17-8, 16-9. SMOG Good Home 70 (Kate Gaudin 10/15, Anna Gardiner 46/61, Isabella Rohloff 14/20) Marlborough Girls’ College NZ King Salmon 55 (Taila Town 34/44, Fiaalii Solomona 4/8, Naia Lawrence 17/22).

One hundred and sixty swimmers from across the Nelson Marlborough region competed over five sessions in the Blenheim pool from July 2426. Competitors aged from eight to 18 raced over distances ranging from 50 to 1500 metres, showing their prowess in all four swimming strokes. Swimmers competed within age groups and had to complete a specific set of events in order to qualify for trophies. The Blenheim Swimming Club had a team of 39 swimmers in attendance under the guidance of coach Jenni Gane and these young athletes performed outstandingly across the weekend.

Eliza won the gold medal in all but one of her eight events, while Finn swam a new personal best in every event. Meanwhile, Blenheim swimmer Jack Bugler broke his own New Zealand short course record for the 200m breaststroke in the S-14 para category twice in one day, bringing his new record time down to 3:02.74. Medal winners from the local club over the weekend were Charlie Bennett, Ella Bowhill, Rhys Gjelstad, Eliza Glover, George Glover, Matthew Hall,
