The airspace over Nelson has been a hive of activity with the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) deploying to train in the area.

No. 14 Squadron arrived last Monday on Exercise Wise Owl which has seen pi lots from RNZAF Base Ohakea take to our skies to train in the T-6C Texan and A109 light utility helicopter.

MYOB’s 2022 Mid Market Report from over 500 owners and senior decision-makers in small to medium size busi nesses predicted the biggest challenge over the next 12 months was the shortage of skilled employees, with 49 per cent of respondents agreeing.

Major road safety improvements are on the way for Richmond with a $2.4 million funding boost from Waka Kotahi. The funds will help to rapidly implement the beginnings of a complete network of safe walking and cycling spaces, which is the foundation of Tasman District Coun cil’s Walking and Cycling Strategy.

It was implemented on 20 August by the Iwi Emergency Management Rōpū, which works as part of the Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) in both Nelson/Tasman and Marlbor ough, with the support of the eight iwi of Te Tauihu. It prevented the gathering of seafood and kai as well as swimming and entering the water, and covers all coastlines, river mouths, and floodwaters.

A man in his mid-40s was seriously assaulted on Richmond’s Queen Street in the early hours of Thurs day and was airlifted to Christchurch hospital with suspected spinal injuries. A police spokesperson says, after assessment the injuries were revealed to be mi nor. “Two men were taken to hospital, both with mi nor injuries.

Half price bus fares have had a positive impact, ac cording to Nelson City Council group manager infra structure Alec Louverdis. Introduced in April, data showed an immediate increase in bus journeys. The Council is working with central government to in troduce a continuation of half price fares beyond 31 January for Community Service Card holders. Bus travel was free for two weeks following the floods. This was to encourage people to leave the car at home to assist in easing traffic congestion when Rocks Road was closed.

The male roroa, Nga Ararau, is still near where he was released and is showing normal activity levels for this time of the year.

In early August, Department of Con servation (DOC) staff and Friends of Rotoiti volunteers realised Mahara, the female kiwi, wasn’t in her usual location and put in time searching for her. It became clear that the sig nal from her transmitter was coming from within the lake, likely at a depth of approximately 15 metres. Plans to get to the transmitter were delayed by

Melissa says roroa stay as a fami ly group for a longer time than the North Island brown kiwi. She says they found four roroa in one bur row at one time which is something that wouldn’t be seen in North Island brown kiwi. When choosing kiwi to relocate, DOC staff look for those of breeding age who can look after themselves.

Thank you for everyone’s lovely words. That was one of the amazing things that came out of last week’s story, just how much people cared and wished me well on the quest to find my precious.

Most Crime is the bitter fruit of greed, self ishness, and poor choices. What can we do? Make better choices! Choices fuelled by bet ter values and beliefs. And we need help to do this. Jesus Christ has been transform ing the lives of hard ened criminals, and not so hardened, for thousands of years. Je sus was crucified with two thieves. One asked Jesus to remember him, and Jesus took him home to heaven that day. We must all ask for help from Jesus, along with embracing the values he teaches, if we are to live well.

Being devoted to his patients, he continued to work all that last week, carrying out his duties, and this weakened his body to be able to fight the illness. His zeal for service and his complete un selfishness made him utterly un mindful of his own condition.

Over one hundred vehicles were in the funeral procession and flo ral wreaths filled several cars.

In the months following his death the residents of Richmond looked for an appropriate memorial.

On the 17th of November 1928 the unveiling of the Washbourn Memorial Gates at Richmond Park took place.

Doctor Hubert Washbourn lost his battle with pneumonia, dy ing on the 10th of July, leaving behind his wife, three children and a community in shock. The funeral was a large one with over one thousand attending.

This property, once the home of John Tinline, a large building of 14 rooms and commanded beau tiful views of Richmond, the sur rounding countryside, and Blind Bay.

Hubert quickly made a reputation for himself as being unassuming, hardworking, and dedicated to his work and his patients.

His services were in great demand in all parts of the district, and the calls on his time often left him overworked and overstrained.

Experiencing a disaster can be overwhelming. It’s normal for you and your whānau to feel upset, anxious and physically drained during and after an emergency event.

Understanding the biological reason behind why we’re feeling a certain way can help us process and work through unfamiliar emotions. During scary or surprising events, our brains react chemically – releasing adrenaline, triggering a ‘fight-or-flight’ response.

Stories of community spirit in a state of emergency

But in all this trauma was a consistent theme of connection, enabling us to pull through the worst. Here we take a look at some of the ways health connected throughout the response.

The administrative team not only called patients to reschedule appointments or change them to Telehealth – they also called patients to reassure them that their appointments or surgeries would go ahead as planned. IMT held a morning tea to thank them for their efforts.

From floods to fog, our flight nurses’ priority is to safely get patients to the specialist services they need, all over the country. The repatriation of discharged patients who had received treatment in Nelson Hospital, but were then cut off from Wairau due to flooding and road closures, was a new challenge.

Te Piki Oranga (Māori wellness services provider) kaimahi made over 1,000 calls to potentially flood-affected whānau; supporting with kai, medications, and health concerns. Closed roads, increased traffic, and heavy rains meant that many were unable to go to pharmacies for time-sensitive, specialised medications. To combat this, Te Piki Oranga sought emergency authorisation to be able to collect medications on behalf of whānau by working with doctors and pharmacists.
