$1.9M to bridge Richmond West Sara Hollyman Editor

sara@topsouthmedia.co.nz

One hundred trucks, 1500 tonnes of concrete, 55 bridge beams, $1.9 million, and nine-months’ work

by two men have seen a brandnew bridge open in Richmond. The Meadows Crossing which connects two halves of the rapidly growing Richmond West development was officially opened on Saturday.

The 70-metre-long bridge links both sides of Berryfield Drive across Borck Creek, providing an alternative access to the development. Project manager Jo Taylor says the bridge will be widely-used as

it enables better access for many of Richmond West’s residents. “It’s going to be huge for all the residents, particularly when the Sprig and Fern opens and the other commercial tenants. It’s going to open up access in the

Appleby Fields side so it will be hugely used.” The bridge was budgeted at a cost of $1.9 million and Jo says it’s looking as though it will come in

Holiday paddock needed for helpful horses Jenny Nicholson A charity that connects disabled locals with the gift of horse riding are in need of paddocks to let their animals take a much needed break in. Riding for the Disabled (RDA) horses are so in demand during the term that, even with 82 people currently riding, there is a waiting list. Aged from four to 80-years-old, some clients are wheelchair bound, some are independent riders and some need a leader and two people on the side. Continued on Page 2

New bridge connects Richmond West Holiday paddock from PAGE 1 needed for helpful horses slightly under budget. Camo McBride along with Stuart Robertson were the two men who did most of the on-site work between February and October to get the bridge completed. Camo, a Thelin Construction employee, says he has worked on more than 100 bridges across the district during his 28-year stint with the company. He stresses it wasn’t just the two of them that pulled the bridge together. Peter Field, who used to own the land the Richmond West development is being built on, also attended the opening ceremony on Saturday. Peter’s father purchased 100 acres of land in 1942 which slowly increased to 450 acres. He now lives on an acre on Lower Queen St but says they “could’ve done with a bridge” many times over the years, farming on the property.

Developer Andrew Spittal said Richmond West was always going to be an inclusive development. “It was a big vision that we would

have people walking and cycling and it was clear that a splash wasn’t going to work.” Tasman Mayor Tim King thanked Richmond West Developments for a successful collaboration. “I don’t think anyone anticipated how quickly Richmond West was going to develop.” Richmond West will eventually see more than 1000 homes built.

RDA has, until now, had two supportive people that have provided grazing land for the horses each holiday. Now, one property has been sold and the other is for sale so RDA has to look for new venues. RDA Richmond president Robyn Hurford says the horses love their holidays, which are a time for them to be free to do what they want. “A few months back they were taken to a 20-acre paddock with a track around the edge,” Robyn says. “As soon as they were let go, they all galloped around and around

the field.” She says the 13 horses are very patient with riders, and deserve a break and a change of scenery and to be able to relax and just be horses. “These guys can have up to 20 different people around them in a week,” she says. “I’ve been a teacher and it’s a bit like that. Toward the end of the term these horses start to get a bit grumpy.” Although a holiday is nice for the horses, the primary reason for a different venue is to rest their usual paddocks. Ideally, the paddocks could be available for the school holiday. If you can help, contact Robyn on 03-544 8960.

Covid rules frustrate educators Jenny Nicholson

Local education leaders are growing frustrated over a lack of detail surrounding new rules aimed at protecting students and minimising the spread of Covid-19. New legislation requires all education workers to have received their first dose of the vaccine by 15 November 2021. Waimea Intermediate School principal Justine McDonald says that will be hard for unvaccinated teachers who have been on the job for 20 or 30 years, still love the job but don’t want the vaccine. “I understand the reasons why, that it reduces risks to children, but it will be hard for any

teachers involved.” However, she doesn’t think it will be a huge issue for the school. The bigger problem are around camps and buses. Justine says, only being open to vaccinated parents may mean camps not going ahead as parent availability has been reducing in recent years. The other frustration for the school is the mandate that students aged 12 and over must wear masks on buses. With about 25 per cent of the school still aged 11, the difficulty is knowing and enforcing who is required to wear masks. With 300 students travelling on 12 buses, Justine says it is difficult for teachers to know the ages of students.

“On a cramped bus it just makes sense to make it all Year 7 and above.” To make it easier for their students to wear masks, the school has made available masks with their logo on. Justine says there has been a great uptake of these. Teachers at WIS are also navigating conversations with students as talking about vaccinations can be both sensitive and polarising. Justine says teachers are reporting conversations where someone says they won’t be getting a vaccination and others are making judgements. She says it is good for the children to be able to talk about it, but class discussions have to be handled carefully.

NEWS Strategy to increase walking and cycling: The Tasman District Council strategy and policy committee is meeting this week to discuss their walking and cycling strategy, which they are hoping to take to public consultation. The strategy sets targets of doubling the amount of walking and cycling to work by 2030 and tripling it by 2050. The focus is on trips to work and schools in urban areas, as this is a measurable way to track change. Public consultation is planned for 7 February to 7 March 2022. Daring midnight rescue for yachtie: A man was winched to safety after his yacht ran aground east of Awaroa, Abel Tasman early last Wednesday morning. The yacht had run into rock in Shag Harbour around midnight amid 40-knot winds. Thankfully, the one yachtsman on board was able to use a personal locator beacon to alert the Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand. Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter and Coastguard Nelson were tasked with the rescue. The man was winched from the rocks, uninjured. Second Hand Sunday is back: Tasman residents will have the opportunity to pick up a freebie or rehome items they don’t need any more this Sunday, 14 November. Second Hand Sunday will run from 9am - 2pm. If you have items you want to give away, register online to make sure you get onto the list of participating addresses, print off a poster and put it on your mailbox on the day. Participants are responsible for taking anything back in that doesn't get taken away on the day. The list of participants will be available from the TDC website on 12 November.

Taking the plunge into married life Jo Kent Reporter

jo@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Local sea swimmers Pete Gibbs and Cathie Lindsey dived straight into married life at Tāhunanui Beach just hours after saying ‘I do’. Complete with bridal veil, bow tie and wetsuits, they sealed the deal last month with a dip, along with 20 of their swim buddies. “It seemed appropriate, seeing as that’s where we first met,” Pete says. The couple had a brief encounter last March at national ocean swim series The Big Tahuna in Nelson. Pete was the local contact for the organisation and was setting things up on the beach on the Friday prior to the event. He met a few of the Auckland swimmers and they all went for dinner and drinks. Some months later, in July, Pete made contact with one of them, Cathie, for some information about some swims in Auckland. “A relationship blossomed and we began a series of visits between Nelson and Auckland,” Pete says.

Cathie moved to Nelson over last summer and said a final goodbye to Auckland in April this year. “We took part in swim events all over the country and even organised our own 60-person swim the length of Abel Tasman National Park in March.” They decided to get married on 2 October with about 40 family and friends who were meant to travel down from Auckland, but as lockdowns took hold, they postponed the date to 30 October. “We opted for a small weekend wedding for family and close friends.” One of Nelson’s best age group swimmers, Bishop Derek Eaton, was the celebrant and, after the ceremony, went with the newlyweds for their celebration swim. Cathie says that, as she’s Canadian, none of her siblings or her 93-year-old mother could make it. “They all sent messages to be read out.” Pete says the fun doesn’t stop there. For the honeymoon, they’re off to walk the Abel Tasman, and hope to hike the Camino de Santiago.

Richmond rainfall up 75 per cent Jo Kent Richmond has received 75 per cent more rainfall over the last four months compared to the same time last year. Tasman District Council hydrologist Monique Harvey says, from July to October, Richmond has had 580mm of rainfall, compared with the average of 331mm. “Looking at the year to date since the start of 2021, so far Richmond has received 989mm of rainfall, compared to the average for these 10 months of 804mm - an increase of 23 per cent.” At this time last year Richmond had only received 456mm of rain, so the town is at more than double that now. “The annual average rainfall for Richmond from January to December is 957mm, but this total has already been exceeded. So, it certainly will be an above average year for

rainfall,” Monique says. Meteorologist for MetService, Tui McInnes, says it appears that July, August and September had a handful of significant rain-maker events which resulted in quite high daily amounts of rainfall. “Typically these were lowpressure weather systems in moist northerly flows, with the lows passing over central New Zealand, which helped exacerbate the rainfall over the area. October was similar, although high-pressure systems were more common and resulted in lows passing farther south.” She says that it looks like 2020 was more like October, with more high-pressure systems and less low-pressure systems moving through. This contributed to much lower rainfall amounts than this year, which was a much wetter period than we’d normally expect, comparing to the 30year averages.

WEDNESDAY 10 November 2021

Top South Media, which publishes Waimea Weekly, got behind I AM HOPE’s Gumboot Friday campaign, collectively raising more than $10,500 for the cause. This was raised from advertising features in both the Waimea and Nelson Weekly and from the team hitting the streets in Nelson and Richmond on Friday, alongside the good folk from Hubbers Flooring. All money raised will stay in the Nelson Tasman region. TSM would like to thank all the advertisers who participated in the features, those who donated on the day and the dedicated team from Hubbers, who were fantastic collectors.

Supermarket staff facing aggressive behaviour Jenny Nicholson Staff at one of the local supermarkets have been subject to some nasty behaviour by a few customers. Pak’nSave Store Manager Andy Ackers says a small minority of customers are rude, and even aggressive towards the staff when asked if they have an exemption for mask wearing.

“That’s really not ok,” he says. Andy says their top priority is always safety of customers and their teams, and they understand if a customer can’t wear a mask and has an exemption. “The majority of customers who are exempt are absolutely fantastic about it,” Andy says. Richmond Fresh Choice owner Gary Watson says their custom-

ers have generally been pleasant to staff, but they have also had one or two who have pushed limits. He says people may be weary of wearing masks and ready for some change. A customer, who didn’t want to be named, says some of the the language the staff have to put up with is outrageous. She says she’s “terribly concerned” for staff at the local supermarkets.

Gift Vouchers and Free Gift Wrapping

It took a mountain of bread and cheese to raise more than $2000 for swimming lessons for 26 children. There were 4,300 slices of bread waiting for the ladies from the Nelson Lions Club and their friends when they met together recently to make the cheese rolls. No-one knows how many 5kg bags of cheese they used, but they know it was a lot. Seven hours and much talking and laughter later, they had met their fundraising target of 410 orders. The rolls are all pre-sold by the Lions ladies to family and friends – and a few to the aquatic centre staff. “We’re lucky to be able to use Garin College,” says Lion president Jillian Jary. “They have a long table, and we start a production line.” Jillian says they have a cheese roll fundraiser each August since Car-

ol Leggett joined the group. Carol hails from further south where cheese rolls are a favourite. Having been a regular at Richmond Aquatic Centre aqua gym for nearly 10 years, Carol had noticed children having lessons and suggested the funds from this year’s cheese rolls be put toward free lessons for those who were unable to afford them. “[The rolls] are lovely, and my husband loves them too,” swim school team leader Lisa Stanley says. The $2,652 raised is being matched dollar for dollar by the Richmond Aquatic Centre and 26 children will be chosen to have 12 swim lessons each. Crystal Gaiger says that priority goes to those with community services cards. Each person/parent applying must also give a reason why they would benefit from the lessons.

The winning photos will be on display at Richmond Library from 15 November to 30 November. Top of the South Neighbourhood Support manager Maree Dunlop says she didn’t realise there would be another lockdown when she created the competition. “Serendipitously, the photos came in at a time when we most needed an extra reason to smile,” she says. “It’s fantastic that Waimea residents were able to share the things, places, people and pets that lifted their spirits, and that they didn’t need to leave their neighbourhood to find them. It’s great to take a little time to find what makes you happy. You never know when you may need to access the memory to get you through a hard time.” ‘Hope School Fair goes ahead with restricted numbers’ 22 September 2021 The first school fair in the region to take place during Level 2 was a huge success. One of the co-ordinators, Sarah Whittle, says there was a lovely atmosphere on the day as things were a bit more relaxed due to the pre-bookable ticketed system. “We sold out of all 300 tickets, and although the event had to be scaled down this year, we still made about $13,000 for the school which is half of what we’d usually make.” Hope School were determined to forge ahead. “We were very proud we managed to do it under the conditions and are relieved that we did, as postponing an event on that scale is disappointing for the kids as well as the families who volunteer their time to organise it.”

Predicting eruptions wins competition Jenny Nicholson A former Waimea College student has won a national competition for research that he hopes will help predict volcanic eruptions and save lives. Charles Ching, who graduated Waimea College in 2016, went on to study geology at the University of Canterbury. He has now gone on to win the National Universities 3MT (threeminute thesis) Masters Research Competition. “I had a lot of help from family and friends and the university to keep on improving it,” Charles says. “It wasn’t just me.” Finalists from universities across

New Zealand summed up their thesis in three minutes with the use of just one PowerPoint slide. Charles says he was happy and surprised to win the national contest where he presented ‘how staring at a lake can save lives’. “There were some very high-quality entrants. It’s a cool competition because learning how to communicate your research is so important. If you can’t communicate it, then it’s not as useful,” Charles says. His research involved regularly climbing Mount Ruapehū, which is an active volcano. He observed the crater lake Te Wai ā-moe where all recent volcanic eruptions have occurred. Part of his study involved analysing photos of the lake’s surface, and identifying five volcanic vents beneath the lake where only two were previously known. “All of this information helps to better predict when and where the volcano will erupt from in the future, which will allow people to be evacuated from the busy ski slopes on the volcano before it erupts and will hopefully save lives,” he says. University of Canterbury Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research and Innovation), Professor Ian Wright, says anyone who watches the presentation will both understand the work and find it interesting. “We’re thrilled for Charles. It’s great recognition from the judges of the quality and impact of his research and his infectious enthusiasm for his subject.”

tionwide ‘Gumboot Friday,’ campaign, raising funds for youth mental health services. He set out to walk 125 laps of Champion Green, one for every suicide committed by someone under 24 in the year June 2019-20. The 29-year-old says the final few laps were incredibly strenuous, but he was driven over the line by his desire to make a difference. “It was satisfying but very draining. I heard quite a few stories which puts things in perspective.” Johnny says one mother approached him to say she hadn’t seen her son smile like that in six months. “It was a good feeling, it put you on the other side.” Though he works on a boat as a mussel farmer for up to 18 hours at a time while wearing gumboots, three hours of non-stop walking was a different story. “I thought it would be a lot easier than it was.” Coming off a 70-hour work week probably wasn’t the best preparation, in hindsight. “I got told about 20 times

knowing there are alternative routes that are better and seeing the difference it makes is a big factor.” With two daughters of his own, Johnny wants them to grow up in a world where there are many different services readily available for youth suffering from mental health issues. “I am getting ongoing counselling but a lot of families don’t have that funding, and when it is there it can be months or even a year before you can see someone.” Johnny initially set out to raise $120, or the cost of one counselling session for a child. He obliterated his target with the amount sitting at $6000 with more to be counted. “There have been countless local businesses that came forward with gifts and donations.” His own mental health journey is still ongoing though the road has become a lot smoother. “I have learnt to live with it.

The evolution of Tasman names

Ruth Russ

The colonialisation of place names in Tasman/Te Tai-oAorere is slowly giving way to the use of both Māori and anglicised names, side by side. The German settlement of St Paulidorf/Sarau regained its Māori name over a 100 years ago after WW1, when German settlers were pressured to display their fellow New Zealanders’ allegiance to Britain, and German names were anglicised. The town still displays the name Sarau, but it is now more commonly known by its Māori name of Moutere, which means “island”. The new bypass, Te Mamaku Drive, incorporates Ruby Bay’s indigenous name. A mamaku is a black tree fern, which pre-European settlement was plentiful in the

area. Golden Bay was named so after the discovery of gold in the 1850s. It had previously been dubbed Massacre Bay by Dumont D’Urville and Murderers’ Bay by Abel Tasman. The Māori name for the bay is Mohua. Mohua is a pretty, rare yellow bird (nicknamed “custard-head” by scientists) native to the South Island. Speaking of nicknames, in English culture giving places nicknames as a practice is

often a form of endearment, although perhaps not common everywhere; once a man came down from Hastings and was bewildered to find that Motueka is known colloquially as ‘Mot’. (He then proceeded to tour “Nel”, “Rich” and “Wake”. I’m not sure he got as far as Murch, another actual example in this area.) To use this same practice to shorten Māori names, however, is to disrupt the meaning and significance

behind the name, chosen very specifically to denote a place’s characteristics, or to honour an ancestor. In English culture, however, there can be the temptation to shorten names, especially those with many syllables. However, there was on occasion a practical reason to entirely rename places and landmarks Māori had already labelled. I recall a story in the news once about a local council considering changing the name of Māori Road to something else, as the roadsign was constantly stolen. Also, Arrow Rock (or Fifeshire Rock, as many people know it) was originally called Urenui by Māori. The early colonists believed this inappropriate for the new town, as while the word could mean “courage”, it could also be translated as a man’s private parts. Property Management Ltd | MREINZ

We want to hear your opinions on what matters to you and your community

Email: sara@topsouthmedia.co.nz Facing my vaccine fears: I hadn’t had a vaccine since I was 11 years old in Golden Bay where I fainted and went into a spasm. I avoided needles completely and my phobia grew and grew, to the point where I would faint from watching an injection. The thought of getting one made me want to run away forever. At 22 years old, the Covid pandemic forced me to face my biggest fear; an injection. I decided in the second New Zealand lockdown that I had to work on this phobia and create a comprehensive recovery programme for myself so that I could try and receive the jab. This started with yoga, relaxation techniques and eating healthy so that my general anxiety would lessen. I then went on to do some exposure/desensitisation therapy like holding a syringe, imaginary exposure where I would imagine someone getting injected and going with my mum to get her Covid vaccine. I then went to seek help through hypnotherapy. I found a hypnotherapist called Andrea at ‘Transform You’ in Motueka. I explained my problem and my goal and we got straight to it. She has a way of

making you feel extremely comfortable and safe. This is when I really started to feel a change in my perspective towards needles. Through hypnotherapy, I was able to re-programme my mind and how it feels about an injection. I practiced deep relaxation and it became easier to bring myself back to a calm, relaxed mindset. I was able to sort of ‘undo’ my traumatising event with an injection from when I was 11. When it came to getting my Covid vaccine, I was so lucky that the Nelson Marlborough DHB is doing home visits for people who aren’t able to get the vaccine done at a vaccine centre or doctors for whatever reason. The lovely nurses came to my house and gave me my jab in my lounge. I didn’t faint, I was fine. And afterwards, I felt free of something that had been holding me back for so long. It’s a feeling that’s hard to describe, but I feel lighter and more positive. I wanted to share my story because I feel for people that are struggling with the same issue as me. There is help out there and you aren’t alone. It’s not impossible. Betsy Blasdale

Moving Finger: I have become aware over the last week or so that there is a massive division in our community around the government imposed mandate on having vaccinated staff and volunteers at the Health Centre, Kindy, Playcentre, School and our close contact small businesses (e.g. hairdressers). So, as a member of this community I am making a choice I am choosing to support all staff in my community whatever decision they decide to make. I accept that they will make different decisions based on different reasons – medical, family, employment and ethics. All of these decisions will have consequences both positive and negative for both them, their families, and also for us as a community. But it is their choice. As a community we have a choice as well. Do we support all these health workers, school staff, our close contact businesses, and accept that they have made the best decision for them and their families, under very difficult circumstances? Or not? I do feel very sorry for these people who have had to make their choice in such a public way, when at this point, I don’t have to. So that is why I am choosing

to support all of these people no matter what they decide, the same as I have and will continue to support all businesses in our community that have had to enforce mask-wearing, signing in, and non-contact pickup and delivery. None of these rules were put in place by these or any other people in this community, but by higher authorities. This is not about whether or not I agree or disagree with vaccinations, the traffic light system, the vaccine mandate etc. in two years’ time we can all let this government know what we think of their decisions. This is about us as a community supporting people who have had to make some very hard decisions affecting their jobs, their businesses, their homes and their families. So I am making my choice for the community. I choose to support all the staff and volunteers of the Murchison Health Centre, I support all the staff and volunteers of the Murchison Early Childhood centres, I support all the Board, staff and volunteers of Murchison Area School, and I support all the owners and staff of the hospitality and small businesses of this great little community, whatever they decide.

Toy Run gives back to kids in need Jo Kent Reporter

jo@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Bikers from across the region are set to ride from Founders Park to the Richmond A&P Showgrounds in the 36th annual Nelson Toy Run later this month. The Ulysses Club Nelson branch is inviting anyone with a motorbike to join the procession on 27 November and bring along a brand-new toy or game for a family in need. Coordinator for the club, Rod O’Beirne, says Covid safety rules will still apply. “Nothing will stop our an-

nual toy run, we go ahead rain or shine. It’s about generating enough new toys to distribute throughout the region for those families who need a helping hand at Christmas.” Ros Johnson, assistant corps leader for the Salvation Army, says the Toy Run enables the organisation to help hundreds of families. The public is encouraged to come along to look at the bike display at either the starting point at Founders Park at 10am or the end at the showgrounds around 11.30am. Toys can be dropped off at both venues, too. Rod says they are asking for new

toys as opposed to second-hand or used and they do ask for no soft toys. “We are collecting for children ranging from birth up to 16, so it’s a wide spectrum. We would love to see more family games included this year as Christmas is about bringing people together.” There will be a sausage sizzle as well as a prize-giving for the best decorated bike. If you can’t make the Toy Run but would still like to donate a new toy, drop-off points are Richmond and Nelson branches of NBS bank, and Salvation Army stores.

Murchison Murchison is an ‘undiscovered paradise’ which is brimming with rural charm and natural beauty, making it the ideal place for people to visit. Only a 90-minute drive from Nelson, the delightful township is located between two stunning national parks and is surrounded by forested valleys and spectacular rivers. So, there’s plenty of scope for outdoor adventures in Murchison, such as hiking, canoeing, kayaking, rafting, jetboating, gold panning, hunting and fishing. The area also has lots of mountain biking and tramping trails, such as ‘The Old Ghost Road’ which is a long-forgotten gold miners’ road. It traverses majestic native forest, open tussock tops, river flats, and valleys. With swift-flowing rivers everywhere in the region, Murchison is known as the ‘whitewater capital’ of New

Zealand. The rivers vary from class 2 to 4 whitewater, so they’re not for the fainthearted. The area is steeped in history. Originally, it was a gold rush settlement, and the town was almost completely destroyed by a large earthquake in 1929. So, while you are visiting Murchison, you might like to visit the local museum to find out all about the district. You could also head over to beautiful Maruia Falls, which is the result of a landslide diverting the Maruia River during the devastating quake. As well as lovely walks to viewing platforms, there is also a picnic area with toilet facilities available. Or you and the kids could enjoy a spot of gold panning at the Buller Gorge Swing Bridge and Heritage Park. This ‘must-see destination is home to New Zealand’s long-

My local drop-in clinics last week in Franz Josef and Westport had several common themes: Covid, 3 waters, SNAs, debt. The mandating of vaccinations is striking at the heart of some people’s views of freedom and democracy. It is being seen a tool to divide our country and set communities, workmates and families against each other. Covid has become a campaign of fear. The management of NZ’s response is in a complete mess and as the number of infections continues to climb thankfully the hospitalisations do not. The South Island is still in Level 2 meaning most Christmas functions, sports events and A & P Shows have had to be cancelled, even though there has been no community transmissions here for a year. Then along came the 3 Waters mandate and rate payers’ assets are now at risk of being confiscated by the

Govt to give to an entity made up of 6 council-appointed reps and 6 iwiappointed reps. State sponsored theft at its best. The Govt plans top borrow $180b against the value of those assets, and no points for guessing who will have to repay that debt. Which leads me to SNAs and other planning tools that see private property rights side-lined while further state sponsored theft has parts of your property designated as “significant” and your rights to use it are taken off you, but not the cost of owning it and paying rates on it. The SNAs (significant natural areas) was initially introduced to preserve those very significant and unique parcels of land. This process has been captured, along with private property. There have been concerns raised

about how much New Zealand is borrowing on a daily basis. Although having to borrow to get us through the covid response was necessary, some of the spending has been difficult to track. The Auditor-General has recently reported that some of the Govt’s spending “had been difficult to reconcile”. The response to my mailer, which went out to 26,000 mail boxes throughout West Coast-Tasman, has generated excellent feedback, with practical environmental policies standing out as a key issue of importance. Please complete the survey and have your say on what is important to you, your family and your business. Don’t miss the opportunity to speak up. This Friday’s public meeting in Murchison is another opportunity to air your views and I’m really looking forward to talking and listening with lots of locals. Come along for a listen and a cuppa.

As I write, over 72 per cent of our eligible population in Nelson/Tasman is fully vaccinated, with around 83 per cent having had at least one dose. Since Delta arrived, the rate of vaccination in New Zealand has been among the fastest in the world. Let’s do our bit and maintain the momentum.

up gave him a passion for social justice. His early life, the struggles his family faced and the kindness of those around him have shaped his strong emphasis on social justice. He is bringing that to his new position as Community Pastor at Grace Church. “It’s important that we care for physical, emotional and spiritual needs,” he says. “We’ve helped those who are sick, and others to find a home. And it’s important, especially at the moment, that people connect.” While Ken was born in Auckland, his family moved to Taumarunui when he was three. The company where his father worked as a drainlayer had been given a big contract in Auckland. Before they even started, Ken’s father died, and his mother was left bankrupt with four children to raise. What happened next really impacted Ken’s life. Locals from the Taumarunui Marae travelled to Auckland, collected the family and shifted them into the house next to the marae. “They respected dad, so they helped us,” Ken says. “That was a big part of why helping people has been a prime focus for me.” As he grew up, he knew education was the path out of the spot he was in. At university he was the only student in his dentistry class from a beneficiary background. It was during his uni years that he began a life following God. After graduation

Ken oversees the diverse groups that meet together as part of Grace Church, and encourages those running them to ensure they are places anyone can be comfortable at. Whereas in the past groups tended to all be bible study groups, some now revolve around shared interests. Groups include petrolheads, knit and natter, young

adults, along with walking and cycling groups. He has recently asked what it really means to be truly generous. He says Jesus came to serve so who are we to sit back and do nothing. The bible says, “For even the Son of Man (Jesus) came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” “We will all know families who may lose their jobs,” Ken says. “We want to know how we can help them, serve them and support them. It’s our responsibility.” If you would like to connect with Grace Church please phone 03 544 7071.

Just a thought... Megan hopes her journey Ken Joyes Grace Church What the World Need Now Is… Extravagant Generosity Generosity involves much more than money. Our time, our attitudes, our whole lives can either be generous towards others or self-focused. Though it is frequently what people need most, time can be a difficult commodity to spare. It takes time to show love and respect, listening to people’s concerns or anxieties. People need someone to care – that takes time. Ultimately generosity reflects the curve of our hearts. Often our hearts curve away from God and generosity, back towards ourselves. We struggle to be generous, forgetting that God has been sacrificially, extravagantly gener-

ous to us. To curve our hearts away from their self-centred trajectories is hard. Yet, more than ever, our community needs extravagant generosity – accepting, loving, and forgiving each other. We need to be generous with all we have, especially our time, if we are to serve and love our neighbour. When Jesus was asked what the most important commandment is, he replied “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.” These words are found in the bible in Matthew 22 v 37-39 and verse 39, which shows the importance Jesus placed on how we treat each other.

will help others to heal

Jenny Nicholson For years Megan Wright felt she didn’t belong but now she is sure of who she is and wants others to also have a place of belonging and support. Her experiences through childhood and early adulthood have given her an understanding of the need for everyone to have a place where they feel safe and loved, and it is this she brings to her new position as women’s pastor at Richmond New Life. When Megan was eight, she was told she was adopted.She had a lovely family, but hearing she was adopted changed who she thought she was. That lingered through to her adult years and came to a head when she found she was expecting twins. Wanting to know her background and health history, she wrote to her birth mother. “She read the letter then put it in an envelope and sent it back to

me,” Megan says. “There was a real sense of rejection.” Megan says the turning point for her was taking her hurt to God. She had a realisation that no matter who birthed her in the physical, she was part of God’s family. “Knowing I was a daughter of God made me whole.” Megan wants to facilitate community, bringing people together to support each other. “It’s so important people find a safe place where they feel accepted and can be free to be themselves.” She says there is so much anxiety in society, and people are feeling on edge. Her dream is to help provide a place where people can enjoy life again. Megan is the first to admit people and churches are not perfect, but she hopes that others can feel the sense of family her local church has given her. To contact Megan or Richmond New Life ring 544 1094.

Grant Chaney Trust in

When selling a property TRUST is the most important factor you need to have when choosing a Real Estate Agent. Grant was the agent chosen by me and my deceased husband’s estate. The package and presentation put together to sell my home was outstanding. The photos were beautiful and showed the house at its best. I was grateful for all his help and his team’s hard work especially when I was preparing my home and gardens on my own. The whole process was made easier as Grant would be in constant contact, answering any queries I might have, nothing was any trouble and my interest was always a top priority. This resulted in the property reaching the highest residential price sold in the village of Wakefield at the time of sale. I will do business with you any day. - Jenny Rowse

Feast of films comes to Nelson Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

A feast of films will be taking over The Suter theatre for the next 22 days. The Nelson leg of Whānau Mārama: New Zealand International Film Festival (NZIFF) kicks off today and features 51 feature films from 21 countries. NZIFF has worked with partner venues and cinemas around the country to present the festival under the new Alert Level 2 requirements in 12 towns and cities nationwide, and with the cancellation of its Auckland screenings, they are relying on regional screenings more than ever. “We’re excited to share our fantastic 2021 programme with Nelson audiences in a safe environment this November,” says festival director Marten Rabarts.

“We hope that Nelsonians will show their support for the festival by coming to check out as many of the outstanding New Zealand and international films on offer as possible.” Films joining NZIFF’s 2021 lineup for Nelson include Sundance Film Festival’s Grand Jury prizewinning documentary, Flee, decorated Chinese director Zhang Yimou’s love letter to cinema, One Second, and Bosnia and Herzegovina’s contender for the 2021 Best International Feature Oscar, Jasmila Zbanic’s Quo Vadis, Aida? Fifteen films direct from the Cannes Film Festival are confirmed to screen in Nelson, including Palme d’or winner Titane, Grand Prix award winners, A Hero, from decorated Iranian director Asghar Farhadi and Juho Kuosmanen’s offbeat train romance, Compartment No. 6, and Venice Film Festival highlights, Golden Lion-winning drama

Berlin Golden Bear nominee, I’m Your Man, featuring Downton Abbey’s Dan Stevens, will screen in Nelson as part of the New Zealand International Film Festival. Photo: Supplied. Happening and Special Jury Prize winner Dear Comrades! In addition to seven New Zealand films screening in Nelson, short film competitions New Zealand’s Best and Ngā Whanaunga Māori Pasifika Shorts will screen at the festival. Delivering some star power is Berlin Golden Bear nominee, Maria Schrader’s I’m Your Man,

featuring Downton Abbey’s Dan Stevens as a love android, Oscarwinning Danish director Anders Thomas Jensen’s black comedy revenge thriller Riders of Justice, starring Mads Mikkelsen, and moving literary memoir My Salinger Year, starring Sigourney Weaver and rising star Margaret Qualley. Whānau Mārama: New Zealand

International Film Festival is run by a charitable trust to enhance local appreciation of, and engagement with, global art and culture by providing access to a diverse range of high-quality films.

Sam set for Super season Jonty Dine Reporter

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

After seeing a women’s rugby team for the first time as a tenyear-old, Sam Curtis knew she wanted to be part of it. She had just finished up playing with the boys at Jubilee Park when she saw the all-female Waimea side and her future. More than a decade later, Sam will be part of history as the first-ever Super Rugby women’s competition is introduced. She was so excited to hear she was going to play for the Blues that she almost fainted. The 25-year-old Waimea winger’s name was included in the Auckland-based franchise’s squad for the inaugural Super Rugby Aupiki competition next year. “I didn’t expect it, so I am super chuffed.” After getting the news from head coach Willie Walker, Sam was straight on the phone to tell her biggest fans.

Former Waimea College star Sam Curtis has had the Super Rugby Aupiki call-up. Photo: Shuttersport (File). “My parents have always been so supportive.” Sam was part of the wider training squad at the start of the year when the Blues and Chiefs met in the first-ever women’s Super Rugby match in 2021. “It was amazing, to think how far women’s rugby has come.

When I was younger there were nowhere near the opportunities that there are now, which is really exciting for the youth.” A move to Auckland for her career coincided with a shift from Canterbury to the Auckland Storm where she reunited with twin sister Taylor.

“I had a really good opportunity to work at an awesome company, so I jumped at it.” A graphic designer for Media Works, Sam says the work and rugby balance is still challenging. “I have come up with a routine that works for me. I just try to be really organised and have good communication with my coaches and bosses.” Though the women are being paid, it is not enough to sustain them. “I’ll still need my job, but it is nice to see it moving in that direction.” Sam says while getting paid is a bonus, most of the players would be out there regardless. Sam helped form the first-ever Waimea College women’s first XV, coached by her father. Sam hopes to soak up as much knowledge as she possibly can from the training in the Blues environment. “These are the best 105 women in the country, so the opportunity is there to go out and grab it.”

Nelson wins Newman Peter Jones The Newman Shield is back in Nelson hands after their senior rep cricket side scored a thrilling fourrun win over Marlborough on Sunday. Nelson put a score of 212 on the board, losing their final wicket in the 49th over, as Marlborough finished on 208-8, unable to push for victory in the nail-biting final stages. After losing an early wicket, Nelson fought back strongly through a 104-run partnership between James Graham, who scored 47 from 54, and Jonty Raxworthy, who top scored with 52 from 54. Late in the chase, a first-ball six from number 10 Jerrym Lamb left Marlborough needing eight runs from the final over. However, they could only manage four as the Nelson paceman Josh Newport bowled cleverly and accurately. Nelson coach BJ Barnett said his side were “forced to fight hard with the bat and, in terms of the bowling, we just kept in the game”. “For us to stay involved was really good and to then take it down to the wire was fantastic.”

Hamish recognised for long kicking career Jonty Dine Reporter

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

With a competitive taekwondo record of 170-4, Hamish Wybrow knows how to win a fight. However, as a coach, the result comes second to seeing his students thrive. “Years ago it was all about winning, but now it’s watching their faces and seeing what they get out of competing.” For some, simply walking out to the centre ring is a huge victory. “I have taken some students to international events and won gold medals, but for some I’m happy for them just to enter.” After a fiercely competitive fighting career, Hamish now simply encourages young people to have a go. Hamish’s significant influence on countless students has seen him nominated for the Rātā Foundation’s Lifetime Contribution to Sport for the 2021 Nelson Sports Awards.

It’s not over yet. The Mako season was on the line at Lansdowne Park on Saturday, but the defending champions responded with a strong performance to take maximum points against Wellington. The hosts made a stunning start to the contest before the Lions staged a late comeback. However, the Mako survived for a 3422 victory. Local veteran Quentin MacDonald kicked off the scoring from a trademark Tasman rolling maul before Jacob Norris was the second beneficiary of another powerful surge from the pack. Just as the Lions looked to be building some momentum, Leicester Fainga’anuku snatched it away as he latched onto a poor pass and went 80 metres. The all-important bonus point came after just 25

minutes through rampaging centre Levi Aumua. Taine Plumtree finally got the visitors on the board with a try in the corner. Mitch Hunt struck back with a penalty to give his side a 20-point advantage heading into the sheds. Wellington reduced this to 10 points early in the second, with Jackson GardenBachop making up for his intercept pass with a try before replacement hooker Tyrone Thompson sent a scare throughout the ground with Wellington’s third try. However, Tasman illustrated its championship calibre, Anton Segner dotting down in injury time for his first try for the Mako to claim its fourth and most important win of 2021. The wins sees Tasman earn themselves a semi-final spot, against the high-flying Hawke’s Bay Magpies this weekend. Kick off on Saturday is 4:35pm.

Sadly we have had to say goodbye to our beautiful Pauline. Greatly missed by Val, Fay (dec), Barry, Yvonne and Murray, Owen and Narelle. Loved by nieces, nephews, greatnieces and nephews, and friend to many. A memorial service has been held. No flowers but if you wish a donation to Cranford Hospice Hastings would be appreciated. Thank you.

My sincerest thanks to you all for the many expressions of kindness you gave to me and our family. Reflecting on your thoughtfulness has been, and is, such a comfort to us. People meant a lot to Brian, and your kindness has meant a lot to me. He was and is always, my darling Brian. Marea Duncan
