Anthony Hendon played a lead role in a 2013 scam where advertisers in genuine publications were approached to place similar advertisements in publications to be printed by Anthony. To encourage purchase, the magazines were titled in a way that suggested support of worthwhile causes such as road safety, parenting or family support. Anthony grossly misrepresented the number of magazines to be printed and failed to circulate those magazines
as promised. Anthony attempted to obtain more than $1 million under the scam between October 2009 and October 2012 and did successfully obtain funds in excess of $750,000. The magazines the victims were conned into buying advertisements in had titles suggesting worthy causes such as “Road Awareness”, “Safer Children”, “National Drug and Crime Review”, and often titles very similar to legitimate magazines. He was also involved in a takeaway business in Motueka called Mot Hot Roasts. Anthony received four
years imprisonment for reproducing documents with intent to cause loss - charges resulting from a major joint investigation with OFCANZ, the Commerce Commission, New Zealand Customs and Inland Revenue, led by the SFO. Crown Prosecutor of the fraud case Grant Burston had also said Hendon’s only work was to be a parasite, targeting victims who could not afford the loss, or exhausted their advertising budgets for no gain. Hendon’s whole life was built around targeting 884 individuals, some of them repeatedly.

Murchison’s uncertainty over ambulance services Jenny Nicholson Reporter
jenny@waimeaweekly.co.nz
Over one hundred local residents turned out to a meeting on 1st of February to discuss the future of their paid ambulance officers after hearing that St John New Zealand is considering removing the paid positions. Simon Blakemore from Mur-
chison and Districts Community Council’s understanding is there are currently two ambulance officers (EMTs) both on call 96 hours on and 96 hours off and one is paid a 0.2 percent of a wage, the other 0.3 percent. There are also around eight volunteers. “My understanding is that they are not legally paying enough and probably exposing themselves to a claim so won’t continue paying
anything at all,” says Simon. West Coast Tasman MP Damien O’Connor attended the meeting and said that St John New Zealand has determined that the service as it is is unsafe and unsustainable. “Covering such long hours is unrealistic and the salary and legal obligation to employees can’t be met. Effectively they have legal obligations and health and safety
and payment that they feel they can’t sustain,” says Damien. “Changes to both our operational requirements and the legislative environment means that the current approach cannot continue,” says St John Buller Territory Manager Joelle Fox. Simon Blakemore says Murchison has very good support from PRIME, which is where a doctor or nurse attend serious
callouts. “Currently ambulance services in Murchison rely heavily on the commitment of two retained staff, supported by St John volunteers and our partnerships with PRIME and Fire and Emergency New Zealand,” says Joelle. “Murchison is lucky to have a basic health centre and a doctor in

My husband is a firefighter, so he was away 18 hours straight on the first day. We had no contact and I had no clue what was happening. I’ll never forget it.
It was my birthday! I got calls from people worried about what to do with their animals, so I opened up the A&P showgrounds to provide shelter for 955 animals.
I only escaped by the skin of my teeth in the 2009 Glenhope fire, so I felt such empathy for all those affected as I knew how they were feeling.

Convicted fraudster sells cars locally FRoM PAGE 1 Local woman Anna Bawi recently made the mistake of purchasing a car from Hendon who is believed to be locally based and who she thought was a registered car dealer. Not only was the car not registered it subsequently failed an AA check. “I admit I had no knowledge of cars,” says Anna. Wanting to be independent, Anna, a solo mum, went to buy the car on her own looking for something reliable and suitable for her and her son. On top of the $4100 paid for the car, she’s now had to find hundreds of extra dollars to get the car registered and make it roadworthy. She’s also had to join the AA. “I thought that because he said he was a registered car dealer I could trust him,” says Anna.

money to afford the car as well as cover her weekly expenses. Anna contacted Anthony after she discoverd all the faults with the car. Initially Anthony said he would swap the faulty car for another one for her. When she approached him he wouldn’t answer her calls. She was happy to accept the arrangement but heard nothing further from him. Chasing him up over a period of time he finally reneged on the offer. Instead, Anthony stated Anna would need to pay him another $500 to be able to get another car. Anna initially found her car advertised online on Facebook’s Marketplace and says that she would advise people to play it safe and go through a qualified car dealership, even if the seller says they are a registered dealer.

Murchison’s uncertainty over ambulance services from page 1 their community. Many rural communities don’t have that level of expertise and PRIME response. That’s not necessarily driving the St John’s decision but will be a major factor in the decision,” says Damien. He says there must be an ambulance service there, but how to run it effectively and to give patients the most timely care is challenging for rural areas. The loss of the two EMTs is a great concern for the eight or nine volunteers as they worry about what they may have to deal with on their own. The EMTs are reluctant to lose the small amount they are currently paid. “I can understand the EMTs response as part paid people. In the issue of skill and volunteers, we need to look at other communities that rely solely on volunteers to see how they manage. Whether that requires a paid person or not is not something I can judge,” says Damien O’Connor. Simon Blakemore said he was very disappointed at the meeting as he thought they were there to talk about submissions, but he got the feeling that everything was ‘set in stone.’

Damien says that St John’s have a responsibility to all NewZealanders including rural communities and that while he understands the dilemma facing St John New Zealand, he is not convinced the solution they are talking about is the best and that is the discussion that needs to occur. “I think St John would be stupid to have anything set in concrete before feedback from community and until they have looked at other ways to work through the challenges while reassuring the community,” says Damien. Joelle Fox said St John was pleased to be invited to the
meeting of the Murchison and Districts Community Council and to be able to discuss their proposal, and answer a range of questions from the members of the Murchison community. “We have proposed that Murchison operate as a volunteer led First Response Unit, bringing it in line with other similar communities across rural and remote New Zealand. In concluding, the Council undertook to collect and collate feedback on behalf of the community and we look forward to reviewing that feedback and any alternative proposals in the coming weeks,” says Joelle.

Defibrillators in community save lives Jenny Nicholson Bex Malthus is one of just 11 percent of the people who cardiac arrest in the community and survive without the use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) by a community bystander. Red Cross National Products Manager Marcus Bird says the survival rate rises to 48 percent where a defibrillator is used by someone in the community prior to emergency services arrival.
Bex is alive because her son knew what to do when she cardiac arrested 18 months ago. He pulled her out of her lazy boy, rang 111 and performed CPR until the fire service arrived. “I was a ‘ditzy’ brain for about three months,” says Bex. She is now well and is still working as a teacher at Waimea College. Sue Rawson’s husband Rick had just finished a walking race in July 2003 when he collapsed. His
son, Kimble performed CPR. St John Ambulance paramedic Jon Leach was driving home and seeing a crowd formed, did a U-turn. He had a defibrillator in the back of his car and administered three shocks, the third bringing Rick back to life. Sue said it was amazing and that they went on to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary later that year. “For every minute defibrillation is delayed, survival can drop by

“Every action you take from calling 111 to attempting CPR will improve survival,” says Marcus. An average of around five people cardiac arrest each day in New Zealand. The Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Registry 20182019 report showed only four percent of those who cardiac arrested in the community received defibrillation by a community bystander. There are now over 70 AEDs in the Nelson Tasman community. Zinc Café, BBQ and Heating’s, Owen Bailey and Alice Swart are part of the staff at the Salisbury Road, Champion Road intersection saying, ‘we’re still open’. Although they are not seeing as many customers as a result of roadworks taking place on the roundabout, the businesses are happy to see regular customers still coming in for supplies. Zinc owner, Brendon Bailey says, “things are slightly better”. The café side of the business has had a downturn but being the only supplier of Weber barbeques in the area is a draw card that helps customers to navigate their way through the roadworks. Caltex owner, Carolyn Waghorn says “it was a real hit to us to start with, but is improving as people get used to the new layout.” The roadworks, set for completion in July will have slight changes to the road until completion.

Nelson Matters This week Parliament resumes and I give my annual speech to Rotary. It is a good opportunity to outline the big issues for 2021 and my priorities for the year. The big national issues are vaccination for Covid, recovering the economy, housing and the centralisation of public services. National strongly supports the science of vaccination and will be constructively pushing the govern-
ment to ensure the job is done urgently, competently and professionally. New Zealand has been insulated from the economic pain of Covid by massive borrowing and money printing. We need a plan to wean ourselves off this support and build a sustainable recovery. Housing costs are out of control and National has offered support to the Government for the urgent measures need-
ed to fix the problems like the RMA. Locally, Government support for first home buyers has declined in the last year and I also want to see this fixed. Another big issue will be the Government’s agenda to centralise public services. We lost local control of NMIT in 2020. We now risk losing control of our Nelson/Marlborough DHB. Nelson will not get better health services if
they are run out of Christchurch or Wellington. Labour is also proposing taking away our locally elected members. There are three law changes I want to achieve this year. We need to ensure victims of crime committed by the insane get a fairer deal. We need to introduce random roadside drug testing to reduce the annual toll of over 100 deaths a year from drug impaired driving. I also want to get
my bill through Parliament that repeals Winston Peters undemocratic electoral law changes. You can read my full Rotary speech on my Facebook page www.facebook.com/honnick smith I welcome feedback on how my work as an MP can make Nelson and New Zealand an even better place. Advert.

Seasonal work becomes year-round for forestry workers Jacqui Rawson The current crew of forestry workers from Action Forest Management (AFM) are going to be taking on lead roles as new employees are set to come on board. “It’s brilliant for us, because it gives us the chance to keep people employed for longer periods either side of the tree planting season,” says Action Forest Management owner, Robin Thompson. Additional funding coming from the government’s Jobs for Nature Programme is the reason for another eight people taking on jobs with AFM. The crews will be working in Mount Richmond Forest Park where they will help control wilding conifers whose rate of spread is rapid in this area. The AFM crews generally do planting work over the winter,

Led by Tasman District Council, the funding of $620,000 which is spread over four years will also include training opportunities.
Wilding conifers are spreading throughout New Zealand at a rate of about five percent a year, even under the current control efforts. That equates to about 90,000 more hectares a year of space the wilding conifers are compet-
ing with natural floral for. Their seeds, blown kilometres by wind, quickly infest areas such as farmland and native bush lines and compete with native plants and animals for sunlight and water. The DOC Jobs for Nature Pro-
gramme means the on-theground forestry workers may be able to substitute some of the aerial work which will better target smaller trees and seedlings. “The Ministry of Primary Industries allocate funding to the Mount Richmond Forest Park each year and there’s a political emergency to get this work done,” says Robin. It’s been identified as a priority for the Jobs for Nature funding by Kotahitanga mō te Taiao Alliance, a top of the South Island alliance of iwi, councils and DOC who are working collaboratively to enhance resilience in natural landscapes and communities across the region. Previously distribution of the funds was done through the Nelson Council, TDC plus DOC and other parties. This year distribution of the funds have come under the responsibility of the TDC.
Speed cushions bank up traffic Jacqui Rawson The pedestrian crossings on Salisbury Road have recently had ‘speed cushions’ and raised plastic separators added. They are part of measures being trialed by the Tasman District Council to improve driver behaviour for the safety of pedestrians and cyclists around the crossings. “It’s definitely slowing and
bunching up the traffic,” says Waimea Intermediate technology teacher and lollipop man, John MacDonald. As well as the public, the two crossings serve to funnel hundreds of students to and from five different schools along a section of Salisbury Road. Discussions with the police and schools in the area have prompted the TDC to put in place the different measures to

make drivers more aware of the crossings, but to also limit traffic movement in the area. The speed cushions are intended to make drivers more aware they are approaching the crossing so they don’t drive through on autopilot and put pedestrians at risk. John says the crossing on its own has always served up quite a few rear-ends. But thankfully there has never been any children injured.

60 years of romance Jenny Nicholson Reporter
jenny@waimeaweekly.co.nz
Close to 70 years ago Brian Ford’s Uncle told him he knew a nice browneyed girl who had just come to town. Brian met her and married her and 60 years later says there is more romance than ever. “People talk about the golden years and it’s true, marriage got a lot better after retirement,” says Brian. Lorna Martin, a cousin of Brian’s, introduced them on Christmas Eve when they were about 17. They didn’t see much of each other for a few years but their paths crossed and Brian says he thought Hilary was worth following up. “I’m a sucker for brown eyes,” he says. Hilary went away to training college and they both dated others, although Hilary says that was only for convenience. During her last year in Christchurch, Brian visited and they wrote to each other. She came back to Richmond for a job at Richmond School and they were married a year later on December 5th 1959. Brian says they are totally different and Hilary agrees. They don’t think alike on everything, but they both say that marriage is all about making choices and priorities. “Say what you mean and mean what
you say, keep short accounts, there is no point in bearing a grudge” says Hilary. Hilary kept her own advice when Brian forgot her birthday one year. Her mother-in-law gave Brian a parcel to give to Hilary and he had no idea what it was for. She didn’t get angry he’d forgotten her special day, she thought it was very funny. “You don’t have a clue what marriage vows mean when you say them. I’ve come out the best. Hilary has only been in hospital twice other than having babies. I drove off the road 50 years ago and spent three months in the spinal unit. Hilary had a baby arriving, me in the spinal unit and noone to milk the cows. But she kept her cool,” says Brian. Both Hilary and Brian are passionate about the worth of women and seeing them free to meet their potential. “I’m a bit for equality,” says Hilary. When asked what she loves about Brian, Hilary smiles and says, “He gives me breakfast in bed.” “I’ve had three loves in my life,” says Brian, “Hilary, the farm and God.” Brian says marriage is about commitment and appreciation and realising that neither person in a couple is perfect. And to remember that we are a work in progress, and love and marriage is a life-long development. Asked about Valentines Day, they say they don’t do anything special. Brian sometimes picks Hilary flowers.

Rachel Boyack MP for Nelson
As COVID-19 rages around us, it’s incredibly important that we support industries impacted by the effects of the pandemic. That’s why funding was approved last week to help regional tourism groups across the country. I’m thrilled with the $1.5 million that the Nelson Regional Development Agency and Destination Marlborough have received as a part of this tourism package. This fund will build on existing events in our region and can be used to develop new tourism opportunities to show off all that Nelson has to offer. Nelson and Marlborough are looking to increase visitor numbers by offering multiday events, which will benefit both our local tourism and hospitality sectors. I also welcome Medsafe’s provisional approval of New Zealand’s first COVID-19 vaccine. This approval, announced last week, means that we can begin preparing for the first stage of our vaccine roll-out. Medsafe has spent months assessing the safety of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, with the advantage of watching the vaccine roll-out in other countries. This up to date medical and scientific data gives us confidence in the vaccine.
Local principals very pleased with students results Jenny Nicholson Reporter

Principals at both Garin College and Waimea College said they were very pleased with 2020 NCEA results, and with Scholarship results which came out on Friday. Waimea College gained nine scholarships, while Garin College had three students attain scholarship including an outstanding in English. “We are very pleased overall. We were nervous what impact lockdown would have on learning and achievement, but the results were similar to 2019. In fact, in two of the three levels achievement was slightly higher in 2020,” says Waimea Principal Scott Haines. He said that following lockdown he saw one of the most concerted efforts from teaching professionals he had seen in his career. “They didn’t just continue with plans, but recalibrated to fit the learning time available,” he says.

MP Rachel Boyack with her new e-bike. Photo: Jonty Dine.
MP makes the electric switch Jonty Dine Nelson MP Rachel Boyack is putting her words into action as she makes the switch from car to ebike. Rachel has ditched the four wheels for two in a bid to reduce her carbon footprint. Her new ride, from Nelson-based Hybrid Bikes, sports Rachel’s face and the Labour brand. “I think it is a great opportunity to show leadership, it’s about saying I am taking some action. When we tackle climate change, we need action at an individual, community, business and government level.” Rachel says there will still be a car at home, however, she will use the bike as often as possible. “My husband needs use of a vehicle that doesn’t have my face on it and there will be times when I will need to travel with other people, but for my daily commute into the office and meetings around the city, there is no need for me to have a car.” Rachel says she has been loving the feeling of the wind in her hair and
zipping past the queues of traffic. “The great thing is you still build up some fitness too.” Rachel and the Labour government are actively encouraging more people to make the switch to electric. However, she is appreciative of fact a lot of people would like an e-bike but can’t afford it. “I think that’s where the Government can potentially look at some policy, the challenge is the cost of purchasing a bike to start with, but we are seeing the prices come down.” Hybrid Bikes owner Frank Witowski says carbon fibre designs have gained international acclaim for their light weight and carbon friendly manufacture. Labour recently announced a raft of measures to help meet New Zealand’s 2050 carbon neutral target, and create new jobs. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says transport makes up our second highest number of emissions after agriculture. “So, it’s important we reduce emissions from our vehicle fleet.” she says.

Job seekers flock in Jacqui Rawson

A successful event was held recently at the Tasman Library to bring the community together with jobs in mind. The job fair, organised by the Ministry of Development and the Tasman Library, aimed to match job seekers up with employers in a friendly, relaxed, community space. With 13 potential employers there greeting 150 members of the public who attended, their aim was fulfilled. “It’s been very successful for us with lots of interest shown in the jobs we have on offer,” says Nurse Maude’s, Penny Ed-
wards. Nurse Maude employs caregivers to enable people to stay as long as possible in their own homes. C3 a forestry exporting company said all their roles such as stevedore or log marshaller are advertised on their website. “The job fair helps us to get our name out there,” says C3’s manager, Andrew Green. Other employers at the job fair included Hoddys Fruit Co, Waimea Nurseries, Talley’s Ltd, Sealord and Vailima Orchard. In addition to employers, also invited were community organisations such as Citizens Advice Bureau and a Justice of
the Peace (JP), to provide job seekers with additional support or advice they needed. As a result of holding the job fair, and to further support jobseekers, a JP will now be available at the Richmond Library from 11.30 am-12.30 pm every Wednesday. Additionally, a series of free workshops concerning all things job search-related such as producing CVs, writing cover letters, and searching for jobs online with be held at the library. All these workshops are free, but please book your spot through Richmond Library on 03 543 8500.
Music in the Mountains Jenny Nicholson Tapawera Area School was the hub for 722 motorhomes and caravans over Nelson Anniversary weekend. They gathered from around New Zealand for the annual Music in the Mountains festival, the largest motorhome rally in New Zealand. The long weekend featured a mix of bands and artists
and gave the opportunity for New Zealand Motor Caravan Association (NZMCA) members to get up on stage and perform a song. This year they had performances from Bootleggers, Sweet Az, Walsh Bro and Zac Griffiths. Between acts there was time to take a ukulele class, socialise or just relax. “The highlight was the music. ” says Mary.
People from across the age range attended with at least one person in their nineties. Mary says grandparents who attend often bring one child and since Covid there was an increase of young people. Susan Ellis, Chief Executive Office of Tapawera Area School said fundraising helps the community. “It’s absolutely fantastic,” says Susan.

Lots of new happenings at Sprig & Fern Jenny Nicholson There’s a lot happening at Sprig & Fern with six new staff at their central brewing location in Beach Road, a new tavern opening in Richmond and a new owner to take over the Upper Queen Street site. Tracy Banner the master brewer has been passing her expertise onto her team, and Alex Paxton is just months away from being signed off as a brewer. “Tracy is good to work under and has a lot to teach, the staff is good, and the product is good,” says Alex. While they are proud of their 16 core beers and ciders that are always available at taverns and in retail, they also release limited edition beers every few months. Hazy ales are currently popular and this week they are releasing ‘Sunny Daze Haze.’ “The second beer released this week is ‘Little Trip’. It’s a New Zealand pale ale and is ‘a beer for staying here.’ It’s a bit of a tribute to our golden sands and national

Sprig & Fern General Manager Ruth Roebuck says they have performed better than expected this year through sheer hard work. During lockdown, people were buying from supermarkets and retail was strong. They are pleased that the good weather
has finally arrived. “Now it’s beer drinking weather at long last,” says Sinead. While there are taverns around the country, the brewing site is very much local, with all six staff employed since October coming from this region. They offer ‘local only deals’ onsite and are seeing an increase of people either buying online or at the cellar door. Each brew at the site is 2,400 litres and
they can do two brews a day. Everyone present when the first bottle of each batch comes out has a taste. “There’s a few things to test. It’s scientific, they check it’s carbonated. It’s practical, they check the labelling, and there is the emotional side of tasting the first bottle,” says Ruth. Ruth says they are looking for new owner operators and if you would like to know more please phone 544 8675.

Driver Safety Brightwater Motors Tyres are your number one priority when it comes to vehicle safety. Keep an eye on both the tread and the pressure. To check the tread, stick a match into the trench of the tyre and if the head is visible, it’s probably time for a tyre replacement. To check tyre pressure, use an air pump at any good service station. Ensure good visibility – replace your old wipers at your local auto shop, clean your windscreen when you refuel. Check your brake and indicator lights. Brakes won’t tell you they’re broken until it’s too late, keep on top of them through regular servicing. Bad suspension can cause your vehicle to lose traction.

Enhanced Driving NZ A qualified driving instructor since 2012, Brian Bishop specialises in primary training for the commercial sector – trucks, heavy vehicles, forklifts, RTW and dangerous goods. “I’ve been training for over 8 years and have been out on my own since lockdown,” says Brian, owner of Enhanced Driving NZ. “Good training means understanding what you need to know when out on the road, and what’s required to be compliant to obtain NZTA endorsements.” Brian says there’s a lot more to truck driving than people realise, with regards to height, size and weight of the truck. “Trucks have stopping problems and turning issues which car drivers often don’t understand.” Brian can provide one-to-one training for individuals or onsite training for companies. “I prefer to keep the classes small to help maintain quality.” To enquire about training with Enhanced Driving NZ, contact Brian via email: info@edriving.co.nz and he will give you a call to discuss training options. Although based in Nelson-Tasman, Brian is happy to travel to other regions.

Just a thought... It seems as though New Year’s Eve was just last night and yet here we are already into the second month of 2021. The busyness of the lead up to Christmas Advent celebrations, catching up with friends and family have passed and we are now easing ourselves gently into another year and wondering what this one will bring. Here in Nelson/Tasman we have been blessed and so fortunate to have escaped the ravages of community cases of Covid 19. A couple of weeks ago I visited Auckland and very quickly it was bought home to me just how complacent I had become with all things pandemic! First, of course, everyone on board the flight was required to wear a mask. It felt strange and slightly alien to me and I became extremely aware of anyone who coughed or sneezed! Auckland also has a policy that masks are worn on all public transport, this included the bus from the airport into the city and the ferry across to Devonport where I was staying. As my sister-in-law and I visited different suburbs, farmers markets and restaurants I was surprised to see just how many peo-

Two dance groups are confirmed, one being a Chinese Association children’s dance performance. Over 16 vendors will have stalls
Work on the first section of the roundabout is almost finished. Next, we’ll be moving on to Section Two, the corner nearest Zink and Raeward Fresh. Check the diagram for the layout for Section Two, which will be in place shortly. The date for the change will be posted in advance on the work site signs and on our website.
WHAT WE ARE DOING • Putting extra lanes on the roundabout to cater for increased traffic as our region grows. • Making it safer for cyclists and pedestrians (especially the many school children in the area) by adding raised crossings.

ple were wearing their masks as a permanent feature while walking around. Again this felt very strange to me as this is not something we see here in our region. To my shame, in the past, I have not always been diligent in scanning every QR code but since my visit north I am now much more aware and do scan on the way out of a place if I have forgotten on the way in. We carry out this continued vigilance for our families, our neighbours, our friends and our community.

He said things will get better in the new year but only to the extent to which the needs of the weakest and most disadvantaged are prioritised. “With God’s help, we need to work together for the common good, putting the weakest and most disadvantaged at the centre.” This, then, is my only New Year’s resolution for 2021 – be more aware of circumstances and practices that could assist the spread of Covid 19 and make every effort to counter those with practices that will benefit all of us. Welcome to 2021, stay safe, stay healthy, be kind and scan, scan, scan!

Job Russ, Pioneer Farmer Ruth Russ The obituary of Job Russ in 1907 reads, ‘He was a man of no education…but he was a man of sterling moral principles’. One of the earliest immigrants to the Nelson area, Job came from a family full of stalwart Biblical names: his father was Jonah Russ, of Kingsbury Episcopi in Somerset, England, and among his nine siblings he even had twin brothers named Jacob and Esau. Job and his new wife Elizabeth (nee Satherley) arrived in Nelson on the Sir Charles Forbes on 22 August 1842. Job had begun his life as an agricultural labourer and that is how he continued his life, in Waimea West. His first home was near the sea, not far from Cotterill’s landing.
He was flooded out of this hut, and he and his wife Elizabeth, shifted to the eastern side of the Appleby River. In 1852 he began to lease 40 acres of land between Peaviner Corner and the river, including the land known as Springfields. The lease was for 14 years, and in the first year Job’s rent was just £2. His early success in farming allowed him, five years later, to pay the passage out from England for his father Jonah, and his brothers Jacob and Esau, to New Zealand. The men were reunited after fifteen years of separation when Jonah, Jacob and Esau arrived on the John Masterman. Sadly, Esau would not contribute to the several thousand Russes who now populate the Nelson area and beyond, de-

Waimea West. It was in about 1878 that Job bought the property Bearcroft from Sir David Monro. When the furniture was being shifted into the home, Job’s wife Elizabeth had a serious fall. The fall caused her internal injuries, from which she died several days later. She was 54. A sweet snippet of dialogue between the couple has survived, and was apparently spoken to each other back in 1842 when they first arrived in New Zealand. Elizabeth inquired of Job, ‘Dost thou love I, Job?’ Job replied, ‘Yes, I could gnaw thee like fresh mutton!’ Elizabeth was buried at St Michael’s Anglican Church. It was reported in The Nelson Evening Mail that ‘Mr and Mrs Russ...together with their family
of seven sons, have always been looked up to as respectable, industrious and valuable settlers.’ Job outlived Elizabeth by 29 years and never remarried. His motto, according to his obituary, was ‘to do to others as he would like them to do to him’. A devout Christian, a hardworking farmer and a shrewd businessman, he offered to sell an acre of land for the establishment of Appleby School. As well as Bearcroft and Springfields, Job also owned 357 acres of land between Waimea West Road and Golden Hills Road. Bearcroft, a 197-acre property, remained in the family until 1979. It was five generations of Russes that came to occupy the homestead there that Job Russ had originally established.

Competition tight in Nelson swims Peter Gibbs

Waimea rowers earn rowing medals Staff Reporter Waimea College rowers were among the medalists at the South Island Club Championships on Twizel’s Lake Ruataniwha. The Nelson team of 48 college-aged rowers, three club rowers and two masters rowers took part in the event. Head Coach Tim Babbage said it was a strong hit out for the team. “It was a fantastic weekend of racing on flat water in great conditions,
23
and very rewarding for the Club to see all college squads (Senior Girls, Senior Boys, Novice Girls and Novice Boys) on the podium.” Waimea College students Ella Sargent and Rosie Mirfin were part of the bronze winning crew in the Women’s under-19 coxed quad sculls and Lochie Mirfin also won bronze with the men’s novice eight. The Club’s senior college and club rowers will now enter an intense training phase in preparation for the New Zealand National Champion-
ships from 16 to 20 February. March is also looking busy for the club’s college rowers as they prepare for the South Island Secondary Schools regatta early in the month where they compete for their respective schools Nelson College, Nelson College for Girls, Waimea College and Nayland College and the pinnacle event, New Zealand Secondary Schools Championships. This is better known as Maadi Cupand and is to be held at Karapiro from 22 to 27 March.
Ruby Bay triathlon specialist Hayden Squance and Richmond swimmer Abbey Smale won the male and female sections of the Port Nelson Swim Series. The course of just over 1500m had a bit of everything and a tidy current to cope with on the final 500m leg of the triangular course. Squance led out on the first leg, building a body length over Oxford Bayley, Luke Kelly and Abbey Smale. These four have great credentials nationally, with Squance a national triathlon champion, Bayley and Smale leading the Banana Boat Ocean Swim series this season and Kelly a regular winner on that circuit in recent years, so any race in Nelson Harbour is ultracompetitive. With 12 weeks of swimming done and only six more to go, positions are starting to
shape up in the best-of-11 Port Nelson series. Lorraine Mellors, four weeks out from her first Ironman, is hitting form at the right time, leading a large group of swimmers in midfield, including Eric Wylde, Victoria Charles Jarod Spencer, Brian McGurk and Paul Thornton, with only nine seconds separating the first and the last in this group. Similar tight groups race for home all through the field of more than 100 swimmers. Emily Chadderton was first ashore in the 700m swim, followed by Noah Brehaut. Swimming continues in the Port Nelson Series for another six weeks, with race three in the Clements Endurance Series taking place on Sunday. The Clements Challenge takes competitors out through the Cut on an incoming tide before they continue to Tahuna Beach, a distance of almost 3km. See nelsonseaswims.co.nz.

s w e N g n i h s Fi Build up to the best Snapper Cup ever Dominik Berghamer January is gone, and recently we’ve had a couple of weeks of very nice weather. The water temperature hasn’t come up much though, in the middle of the Bay it still sits below 19 degrees. There are still a few good sized snapper on the chew, mainly out wide in 35m+. The ones we caught were still full of roe. Large numbers of decent sized kingfish are being caught everywhere, many as bycatch on flasher rigs intended for snapper. The tuna haven’t turned up in the Bay yet, if the weather stays good they will hopefully make an appearance soon! The Dawnbreakers Fishing Club committee members have been extremely busy over the last months and put together what will be the biggest and best Snapper Cup ever. Thanks to our most generous sponsors they have already organized well over $20.000 worth of cash and prizes with more to come. It will be held on Saturday, March 6th, from 5am onwards. There will be prizes for heaviest and average snapper, as well as for heaviest kingfish, kahawai and gurnard in both adult and junior divisions. Additionally, there will be plenty of high value spot prizes! The prize giving will take place at the Waimea Old Boys Rugby Clubrooms

Cooper Grant stars at baseball nationals Jacob Page Richmond’s baseball star Cooper Grant has one eye on the diamond and the other on his schoolwork. The talented teen was named most valuable player at the under-19 baseball nationals at Howick, but it is all part of his big goal of playing college ball on scholarship in America. “I am busy but I’m trying to improve my game while also focussing on my studies because that’s going to be just as important if I want to go to college.” Copper was dominant at the under-19 nationals playing for the Bayside Wolves as a pick-up player. At the plate, he hit .474 batting average, going nine for 19 with seven runs batted in. As a starting pitcher, he didn’t concede a run in eight and two-third innings having struck out 23 of the 31 batters he faced. Cooper said he could have hit more consistently if he had his time again. “I think I was too eager when I saw a pitch that I liked, I just wanted to hit it. “I need to be more patient, work the count a bit more.” Being the son of New Zealand softball pitching great Marty Grant, Cooper says he has an affinity for pitching but also enjoys hitting on a regular basis.
and a fully catered meal will be included in the entry fee. If you haven’t done so yet join the Dawnbreakers Fishing Club and come along to our social afternoon on the 14th of February where we will share all the tips and tricks that will help you catch that prize-winning moocher! To enter the Snapper Cup you must register until Feb, 26th, find more info on www.dawnbreakers.co.nz or on facebook!

Richmond’s Shannon McIlroy is taking a sabbatical from competitive lawn bowls so that he can devote more of his time to his family and his business. “My dad was always there for me when I was young,” says Shannon. “He was a real family man, and I want my kids to feel the same way about me as I do towards him. “I want to be able to take them fishing, take them camping, take them to get to know their cousins in Gisborne. Just really focus on family and deliver home just how important that is for us. “We’ve been here in Nelson for quite a while now, yet there’s a whole lot of awesome places around here we still haven’t seen or visited. It’s such an awesome place to live. “I also want to give my wife Amy a chance to play more bowls and support her in her new role as an early childhood development teacher. It’s a job that will need me being a fulltime dad while she goes out and works. “She’s spent a lot of time looking after me and caring for our family while I’ve been tripping from tournament to tournament over the years. She has been so patient and supportive. It’s her turn now to achieve what she wants to.” Shannon can’t put his finger on how long his ‘sabbatical’ will be. “I don’t know how long I’ll be out of the game. I just want to be a full-time family man for a while. It may be two to three years… who knows? I’m not putting a timeline on it. What I do know is that I’m not giv-

Photo: Bowls NZ. ing up bowls forever… and I will be back once my kids are older and we’ve had some quality family time together.” But Shannon isn’t entirely going away. “I’ll play out my existing commitments, and that includes the National Fours and mixed pairs down at Alexandra at the end of the month. “More than likely I’ll probably still continue to play club pairs with my mate Dave Parata and I’ll still be down at the Stoke Bowling Club with Amy and the kids for a roll-up occasionally. I love the club.” So why the sudden decision now? “I guess I’ve been thinking about it a lot over Christmas, especially after having had the lockdown in March last year. Time with the family made me realise how much they were sacrificing for me to play bowls. I really appreciate them
and don’t want to look back and wish I’d spent more time with them while they were still young. “Plus the timing felt right,” he says. “With Covid, the international bowls calendar has been so uncertain. But even if things like the Comm Games go ahead in Birmingham next year, I wont be making myself available for selection.” But fans of Shannon McIlroy shouldn’t despair. “I turned 34 last month,” he says. “So there’s still plenty of time for me to come back, and play bowls competitively again when the time feels right. Hopefully I’ve still got years to play bowls!” Meantime, Shannon and his wife Amy will be ones to watch in the mixed pairs in Alexandra at the beginning of March. “It may be a fantastic swansong,” Shannon says.
