Legal aid system ‘struggling’ Erin Bradnock Reporter

erin@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Hundreds of desperate Nelsonians in need of legal representation are having to be turned away as overloaded lawyers struggle to

cope with a system on “life support”. A new study has found that across the country 20,000 people seeking legal aid have been turned away, with one local lawyer saying that figure is likely a “conservative” one.

Steven Zindel from Zindels Barrister & Solicitor on New St says from his desk, he can hear the firm’s receptionist talking with desperate clients that they don’t have the capacity to take on. “It’s about three people turned away a day, so 15 a week and 700

within a year. Mainly family clients,” Steven says. He says he too often hears directly from someone in need of a lawyer who has already been turned away from other firms. “I have a Christchurch person who tried all 63 listed legal aid

providers in Christchurch on the Ministry of Justice website. He tried every available person and none would help,” he says. Managing solicitor for Nelson Bays Community Law Service,

Bri Markland “My bed honestly, it’s a safe space”.

Desperation amid struggling legal aid system from page 1 Trevor Irwin, says there is a huge amount of pressure on the legal aid system throughout the country, and Nelson is no different. “Family legal aid providers, in particular, are under a huge amount of pressure. It is very difficult for many people to get access to a family legal aid lawyer in this area who is not already inundated with work.” Just last Thursday, Steven had heard from three people desperate for representation. One was a woman living in Westport who wrote she had “no luck over the last month finding anyone who has time to take on a new case”. The woman went on to say if she couldn’t find a lawyer under legal aid she would have to pay for the fees herself. A New Zealand Law Society survey released earlier this month

surveyed almost 3000 lawyers’ issues surrounding ‘access to justice’ in Aotearoa.

The survey also showed there were too few legal aid lawyers available at the start of Covid-19 pandemic, and now there are fewer. “Our survey showed almost a quarter of current legal aid lawyers intend to do less - or stop legal aid work entirely within 12 months,” she says. Steven says Covid-19 restrictions has just highlighted the need for reform as courts become more and more backlogged. “If you don’t invest in these things they are going to disintegrate,” he says. Local lawyer Mark Dollimore says the cap on legal aid grants is a turn off for bigger firms in the region compared to private uncapped clients. “The big firms generally don’t

Alcohol-related incidents fill Nelson District Court Erin Bradnock Reporter

erin@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Nelson District Court was filled with alcohol-related incidents on Monday morning, including three instances of driving while under the influence and two physical fights. Richard Anthony Cane pleaded guilty to driving with excess blood alcohol after having been found with 166mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood, which is more than three times the legal limit. According to the police summary of facts, Cane had been driving along Edward Rd in Moutere on 9 October where he collided with a car and trailer just after 8pm. After submitting to a blood alcohol assessment, Cane told police he had been at a friend’s place and had consumed three beers before getting behind the wheel. Cane was convicted and sentenced to 200 hours of community work, six months supervision and disqualified from driving for 28 days. William Charles Roystin Kamana was the next defendant to plead guilty, to driving with excess breath alcohol as his third or subsequent related of-

fence. According to the police summary of facts, Kamana was stopped by police at about 9.15pm on 20 October with a breath alcohol reading of 516mcg per litre of breath, more than twice the legal limit. Kamana told police he had consumed alcohol at a Richmond address. Judge Richard John Russell convicted and sentenced Kamana to pay a $750 fine, $130 in court costs and disqualified him from driving for 12 months. Marahau man Graham Franklin pleaded guilty to the same charge after he was stopped by police at a checkpoint on 8 October on High St, Motueka. Franklin was found to have 728mcg of alcohol per litre of breath, nearly three times the legal amount. Judge Russell said this was Franklin’s fourth conviction and fined Franklin $800 and court costs of $180, to be paid at $50 a week. Two other alcohol-related incidents include a brawl on Bridge St and a common assault. Matiu Charles Gary Taiapo pleaded guilty to a charge of fighting after an altercation unfolded at the intersection of Bridge St and Collingwood St

on 8 August just before 11pm. According to the police summary of facts, when Taiapo spotted the victim after drinking at Wakatu bar, he approached and punched the victim with his right hand. Then his friends and the victims’ friends all became involved and a brawl between them broke out in the middle of Bridge St. Taiapo was convicted and ordered to pay $375 and $130 in court costs. In an explanation for the offending, Taiapo told police he had been punched in the face earlier by the man outside of Bamboo Tiger on Bridge St. Timothy John Baigent appeared in court on Monday on charges of common assault on an ex-partner on the night of 4 September. Baigent had been drinking when he came home to his then partner and an argument began. Baigent told police and the courtroom that the victim had slashed his tyres and, in retaliation, Baigent grabbed the victim by the shirt and threw them to the ground He was convicted and sentenced to 80 hours of community service, six months of supervision and was ordered to attend a stopping violence programme.

NEWS Rent relief extends for hospo owners: Nelson City Council will continue rent relief for outdoor dining and street stallholders until March 2022. The decision came at the request of the Nelson branch of Hospitality New Zealand. President of Hospitality New Zealand’s Nelson branch, Ian Williams, welcomed the decision to continue Covid-19 relief. “On behalf of Nelson’s hospo operators, I’d like to say ‘thank you’.” The estimated cost of this relief extension to council is $16,000, an amount which is already covered by Covid-19 relief budgets. To qualify, licence holders need to provide the council with turnover for the last three years verified by their accountant, demonstrating a downturn in revenue. Delays on SH6 south of Nelson towards Murchison: Work to stabilise a rockface between the Owen River and Kawatiri Bridges began on Monday and will continue through to Wednesday 22 December. Travellers can expect delays of up to 30 minutes while the work progresses. “Scaling and rock removal work is needed, after a recent slip in late October, to stabilise the rock face,” says Andrew James, system manager Waka Kotahi Top of the South. While the scaling works are taking place, the site will be managed by ‘stop/go’ traffic management with most delays between 10 and 15 minutes. There will also be slightly longer closures up to 30 minutes. Andrew says they want to return the highway to two lanes in time for Christmas traffic. Cyclist dies in Wakefield: A cyclist died after being hit by a truck in Wakefield. Emergency services were alerted to the truck and cyclist crash on SH6 between Baigent Valley Road and Hoult Valley Road West shortly before 5pm Monday. The road was closed while emergency services were at the scene.

Local Māori health workers are getting creative in a bid to increase vaccination rates among rangatahi. A clinic was held at Greenmeadows on Saturday with music, kai and games for young Māori who got their jabs. Organisers say the clinical setting can be intimidating for rangatahi.

NEW HONDA STOCK

Te Piki Oranga business contracts and communications manager Grayson Nepia says the day was all about creating a comfortable atmosphere. “We just wanted to create a really cool, fun space to come and get vaccinated.” Te Piki Oranga received almost 100 bookings for the drive and were expecting plenty more to walk in. The drive is aimed at young Māori aged 12-25. “To have something with

music, food, PlayStation, photos, basketball, and free haircuts, it might just help them with that choice to get vaccinated.” Grayson says one of the common fears for rangitahi was not knowing what is in the vaccine. She and her team have utilised social media to help alleviate these fears. “We have been creating videos comparing the vaccine to what is in a vape or fast food to give perspective that

there is nothing dangerous in it.” Ngāti Rangitahi Te Tauihu is set to host another clinic on December 16 after exams, which Grayson says is a stressful enough time. “It is all about making them more informed and comfortable about getting vaccinated.” The region recently hit its target of 90 per cent of the eligible population having received its first dose of the vaccine.

Toi Toi housing development breaks ground Kate Russell Reporter

kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

A housing development in Victory that has been two decades in the making has finally broken ground. Toi Toi Grove is a 202-dwelling development planned for the north-facing hillside below Princess Dr and above Toi Toi St. First mooted in the early 2000s, it will include a combination of free-standing houses and threestorey buildings, with reserves, walkways, and a community garden. It will also include a road that will come off Princes Dr and run along the ridge before heading down to Toi Toi St. Developer Garry Adcock said the project has been besieged with red tape. “It’s been a long time coming. There’s been a few hoops to get through and the process of consenting and design has been going on for years. I was wondering if it would ever happen in my lifetime.” In 2016, the development was approved as a Special Housing Area (SHA) after the Nelson City Council entered a Housing Ac-

Preliminary earthworks have now begun near the top of Toi Toi St, near the roundabout. “We’ve been working in amongst the drier days and we’re just

about ready to get underway in earnest,” says Garry.

He says they are aiming to have the first allotments above Toi Toi

St ready for houses by November 2022. Dwellings above Emano St, on the other side of the hill, may still be another six to eight years away. Garry says the development won’t encroach on any council reserves, including Bob’s Track. “None of the walking tracks will be touched - in fact we’ll be creating even more walkways in the development.” Council’s group manager environmental management, Clare Barton, says the progress is good news for Nelson’s tight housing market. “Council is pleased to see new housing supply is being brought to the market at Toi Toi Grove. This area is close to shops and schools and is also close to the city centre. “There is the potential for an extra 200 homes for Nelson which all helps to provide additional much-needed housing.” Councillor Matt Lawrey says he hopes Toi Toi Grove will give people more affordable places to live that are close to town. “Unlike Kaka Valley, it won’t lead to the character of an undeveloped valley changing forever. I’m hoping that over time it will really enhance the Victory community.”

Lea getting back on her feet Jenny Nicholson Lea’s day off didn’t end up as planned, and neither did her OE. A ski tour with fellow Rainbow ski instructors ended with a trip to the emergency department for Lea Wallrab. And it was the start of a few tough months. Her ski got caught in heavy snow and she fell, badly twisting her knee. “It dislocated and then popped back in when I fell down on it,” she says. “That was on 25 September.” After an x-ray she was told her knee wasn’t broken and sent home with the advice to go to physio or see her GP if she needed further follow up. But Lea knew something wasn’t right. And that’s when things got tricky for the 22-year-old on a working visa from Germany. She was told she couldn’t have an appointment with a specialist until she had an MRI and that wasn’t possible for about five weeks. No longer able to work, her days revolved around doing the exercises her physio had given her. She was living in her car and says that’s something she could usually enjoy, but with her injured knee climbing in and out

of the car and moving things around was hard. “The exercises and workout itself I did every day was exhausting enough,” says Lea. “To live in a car is another challenge on top of that. But I still loved it.” When she finally had an MRI, it showed bruising to the bone, two tears in the meniscus and

a torn ACL. She felt desperate that even after hearing that, she couldn’t get an appointment until the end of November. “It was so hard not knowing how bad my knee is.” Going home to Germany to be treated more quickly wasn’t an option. “In Bavaria it doesn’t look good,” she says. “Surgery is all cancelled because there are no doctors

available.” Lea says the hardest thing is to be positive every day. “I know every day of my life is amazing because of the people around me,” she says. “But it can be a real challenge to find positive things every day.” Things hit a low when her car broke down. Stranded in Tahuna, she texted anyone she knew in Nelson. The mother of one of her ski instructor colleagues picked her up, invited her to stay with them and gave her the use of a car to get to physio appointments. She says that made a difference to her days. Next, she finally had a call from ACC. “The ACC man was a lovely guy and apologized for not getting in touch earlier,” she says. He organised for her to fly to Christchurch to see a surgeon last Tuesday where was told she would have to wait for surgery as her knee wasn’t ready. She was told the next appointment for surgery would be the end of February. Lea knows there will be a lengthy period of recovery, so her trip to New Zealand is going to look vastly different from her plans.

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 this weekend. 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 it’s a case of the more the merrier, although Covid safety rules will still apply. “Nothing will stop our annual 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.” He says that the club has a long-standing relationship with the Salvation Army and that the yearly pilgrimage pays dividends. Ros Johnson, assistant corps leader for the Salvation Army, says the Toy Run enables the organisation to help hundreds of families. “So parents can give their children something special at a time which can be very

There are usually about 100 bikes, although some years there have been about 300. “The bikes will all be decorated so kids can come along and have a look at the them before we set off or after the ride at the showgrounds,” Rod says. “Toys can be dropped off at both venues, too.”

He says the toys and games they are collecting must be brand-new. “Christmas is a time of giving and, on this occasion, we are asking for new toys as opposed to second-hand or used. Anything and everything is appreciated and accepted, although we do ask for no soft toys.” She says, if you are stuck for ideas, just think about what you would buy your own child. “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.” Once the bikes arrive at the showgrounds, there will be a sausage sizzle as well as a prize-giving for the best decorated bike. “It’s a free event but bring some cash along as there will be a raffle and also some other bits and bobs to buy,” Rod says. 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.

Eco teen wins local hero medal Erin Bradnock A local teenage environmentalist was surprised to find out she was one of a hundred medalists for the Kiwibank Local Hero of the Year awards.

“This is my first medal that isn’t a Weetbix TRYathlon medal.” On top of her activism, Sophie is the under-25 representative for the Nelson Tasman Climate Forum, a trustee for Cancer Society Nelson and a youth ambassador for Kōhine Māia, a Sport Tasman initiative to improve girls’ mental health by being active. “I’m still in that phase that I’m a bit shocked by it.

New home for kākāriki in Brook Sanctuary Staff Reporter The chattering call and vibrant plumage of the kākāriki karaka can now be found in the canopy of the Brook Waimārama Sanctuary after 20 of the critically-endangered birds were released on Saturday. The kākāriki karaka/orange-fronted parakeet is a new species for the sanctuary and, with just 360 left in the wild, they are the rarest mainland forest bird in Aotearoa. The budgie-sized birds were raised at The Isaac Conservation and Wildlife Trust facilities in Christchurch and flown to Nelson on Thursday to acclimatise before their release. Department of Conservation (DOC) kākāriki karaka operations manager, Wayne Beggs, says the transfer is a significant step forward for the species. “The wild kākāriki karaka population is limited to a few Canterbury alpine valleys and an island in the Marlborough Sounds, so establishing new safe sites for this fragile species is vital. “As well as helping expand the wild population, this new location will offer an important insurance policy if anything were to happen to the kākāriki karaka at other sites.”

Twenty kākāriki karaka were released into the Brook Waimārama Sanctuary on Saturday. Photo: Andrew MacDonald. Brook Waimārama Sanctuary chief executive Ru Collin says they are proud to have been selected by DOC and iwi to receive kākāriki karaka, which is a taonga for Ngāi Tahu and Te Tau Ihu iwi. “In time, we expect to see the kākāriki population grow and expand out of the 700-ha sanctuary into the Richmond Forest and out into the Nelson hills. “This project has a great chance of leaving a wonderful legacy for the region.”

I was just given the heads up… try looking on the side of the medals… as they usually have a name there. Robyn Rusholme

I wonder how many more quit in the lead up to the mandate. This figure seems to be those that were stood down, so potentially this figure is under reporting. My heart goes out to those affected. Karen Waine

Gosh, what an amazing find. Trust they’ll find their way back home. Good luck. Karen Ward Young scientists shine at Cawthron Scitec Expo: Congratulations to the winners.

our hospital itself with the resources will cope. Let’s just keep looking after each other individually as much as we can and doing what we can as a community to help where we can. Marie Scherer For a country that's already massively understaffed for health professionals we now just lost a whole lot more. Bronwyn Eggers Let's hope no one misses out proper care because they are understaffed - this is sad. Keri Williams I feel so sorry for the remaining staff, it makes hard work even harder. Also feeling for those that have been stood down - it would be very tough. Sarah Stratford This is an easy fix - have a jab.

have not been vaxed. Jas N Kaiarahi

We hear about how hard done by these healthcare workers are, but never about how taking them out of situations of risk actually protects them as much as the general public. I’m all for freedom of choice. But if your choice means that you are more likely to be infected by your patients, then more likely to need higher level care, and also pose a higher risk of passing the virus on, then the only responsible choice has to be taking them a) out of harm’s way and b) away from situations where they will pass it on to already vulnerable people. It’s a no brainer, our health system is here to protect the sick and vulnerable - not expose them to further risk. So, yes I feel sorry that they lose their jobs but if their professional responsibility is to heal and protect then they can’t be actively involved in places where they will likely do the opposite. Sue Davies

If I needed medical help I wouldn’t want to be cared for by unvaccinated staff. Janine Hannan

Well, you should stand down all the police that

Hmmm, reminds me of the time people used to say, “I don’t want a black person to save my life”. How does someone being vaccinated or not affect their level of ability to care for patients? Only last year did every one of us support health care workers for being understaffed and underappreciated. Now you’re all saying f*** them cause of a personal choice? Some food for thought. Hazel Soundy If I was in serious need of medical care, I would welcome with open arms any medical professionals vaccinated or unvaccinated. No discrimination. The choice is die or get Covid.

Bonnie’s big mission to change the world Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Bonnie Hughes is on a mission to change the world and is starting with starving children in sub-Saharan Africa. The 12-year-old knows how lucky she is to have food every day and she says it’s unfair that others don’t. So, she set about feeding as

many hungry children as she could. Through articles and speeches, Bonnie helped raise awareness of the daily struggles children in Africa were facing. “They seemed pretty shocked.” When World Vision came asking the school if there would be a student ideal to lead a campaign for social change, Bonnie’s name was quickly put forward.

The teacher’s said Bonnie “loves leading and jumping into opportunities,” and after she met with World Vision representatives, did not hesitate to offer her help. “I knew I really wanted to help with this, I knew that there were lots of people in the world who did not have life very good and who were struggling, but I didn’t know it was that many and I wanted to

make a difference.” After making students aware of the crisis, Bonnie put on a bake sale and casual clothing day, raising more than $5000. Bonnie also encouraged as many classmates as possible to get involved in the 40-hour famine which saw students give up everyday comforts for 40-hours. Among the challenges were no technology, no talking, being tied to a friend and, in Bonnie’s case, no furniture for 40-hours. The young advocate’s mission is far from over as she sets her sights on her next act of altruism. Before she lands her dream job as Prime Minister, though, she is determined to raise more money for

Africa. Her next mission is to raise funds for the World Vision Smiles programme to provide a community with clean water. Inspired by her actions, World Vision put Bonnie’s journey into story form. The international charity published a book title ‘Stories from Girls who Dared to Dream’ in which Bonnie’s story is told. It’s been produced as part of the ‘1000 Girl’s campaign,’ to help make a positive impact on some of the most vulnerable people in the developing world – girls. Bonnie was incredibly proud to see her story, which also comes with a full te reo Māori translation. “It showed one girl can make a difference.”

Covid-19 may have put the brakes on many shows in the last six months, but it hasn’t stopped

Nelson Repertory Theatre from bringing some pre-Christmas pantomime fun to Nelson. Treasure Island is coming to the Red Door Theatre, located at Nelson Musical Theatre, from 1 - 5 December.

Director Hugh Neill says he was “determined” for the show to go on under Alert Level 2 restrictions and hopes it will offer some much-needed cheer in an uncertain time. “I found a script and thought it would be fun to do. It has all the very best elements of traditional pantomime, lots of slapstick, there’s a custard pie fight, and even a water fight amongst the audience. “There will be various well-known songs throughout,” he says. The swashbuckling pirate adventure has a cast of 22, ranging from teenagers to those in their 60s. Covid-19 restrictions will mean that the audience for each show will be limited to 52 people. “Our usual home, the Theatre Royal, wasn’t available, but we have been determined to keep going despite the restrictions. “People, of course, will

need to arrive masked and scan in,” says Hugh. The audience will sit at tables of four, where they can enjoy drinks and platters. Hugh says the Friday and Saturday night sessions have sold out already, but they have just added a matinee show for Sunday, 5 December at 2pm. “It’s a fun show and a great opportunity for people to see some live theatre leading up to Christmas.” Hugh would like to thank Smugglers Pub and Cafe for their help with the production. Treasure Island is on from 1 - 4 December at 7pm, and 5 December at 2pm at Nelson Musical Theatre on Atawhai Dr. Tickets start at $15 for under 18s, $22.50 for adults and $20 for over 65s and Gold Card holders and are available from www. iticket.co.nz/events/2021/ dec/treasure-island

New outdoor park delights local teenagers Stoke Youth Park is an exciting new outdoor space, which is opening with a 5am blessing this Friday. The idea of a skatepark has been included in Nelson City Council’s long-term plans since 2006. Subsequently, two rounds of funding were allocated for a youth park to be built in Stoke. Five locations were proposed, and in February this year council approved the Stoke Hall location. Stoke Youth Park has been designed and built locally, is largely made of timber, and has lots of fun features. “We’ve known for a long time at council that young people in Stoke needed their own dedicated park, and it’s fantastic that we’ve overcome location issues to get to a point where young people in Stoke will soon have their own purpose-built facility,” says Community and Recreation Committee chair, Tim Skinner. “Play is such an important part of our

lives, and I look forward to seeing young people use this space for fun, exercise and socialising.” Principal Parks and Facilities Activity Planner, Andrew Petheram, says the key reason the park got underway, is due to the work done by Lee-Ann O’Brien and Whanake Youth. “They were the drivers behind the project. They co-ordinated consultation with local youth, surveyed young people, and arranged workshops to gauge what features they wanted.” Their requests included: Wi-Fi access, an area to sit, chill and relax, water fountains, an area to listen to music, space for a food/coffee cart, an outdoor movie area, recycle rubbish bins, hammocks, skate park

features and a basketball court. “A big focus was given to the “chill-

ing space”, with a deck, container, tables, synthetic turf, bespoke hammock and eco-friendly bean bags.” “We started constructing the park in May this year,” says project manager Andrew Petheram. “The skate park is on the road front, and behind it is a quarter court for basket-

ball. There is also a container which opens up both ways to a timber deck for smaller events and also opens out towards Marsden Recreational Ground.” Stoke Youth Park was designed by Kumanu and built by Nelmac. Swain Construction designed and built the skatepark. The colours on the ground were inspired by Whanake Youth and one of their members proposed a design for the container. “Whanake Youth are delighted with the outcome,” says Andrew. “They are going to manage it for us in the future, so they’ll be helping us make sure the facility is well used and looked after.” As construction draws to a close, enthusiasm to use the park is on the increase. “I can see people are pretty keen to get out and use the park,” says Andrew. “It’s a great facility for local youth.” Stoke Youth Park is located at 548 Main Road Stoke.

Make sure that the contact details for your referees are current, and check this by contacting them yourself. Tell them about your plans and ask them to read your CV – you may get some good advice from them. Some New Zealand employers prefer you to have New Zealand work experience.

NELSON VINTAGE CAR CLUB CAR RALLY The Nelson Vintage Car Club is delighted it can proceed with its Daffodil Car Rally on Sunday, 5 December to raise funds for cancer. “Because we had to plan the rally under Covid Level Two rules, this year we will be running the event without the inclusion of onsite food stalls and the public display of vehicles,” says co-organiser Ray Robertson.

“Our aim is to drive up the entry numbers, because it’s these kinds of events the Nelson Cancer Society gets their funds from.” Any type of car is welcome – modern or old; it’s a chance for proud car owners to participate in a fun drive with others while raising money for a great cause. “Previously, we were able to have a car show with more public involve-

Participants will enter from the pit entrance on Lansdowne Road and will be marshalled into lanes to take their entry and receive their rally route guides.

Everyone will need to stay in their cars and the event organisers will come around so people can scan the Covid tracer app and fill out an indemnity form. “This comes with two complimentary raffle tickets, with three major prizes on offer, worth over $1000 each, provided by local businesses.” There are spot prizes too, and the first 130 entries will receive a complimentary pass to the Nelson Classic Car Museum. “There are four routes; two

Joshua Gill relishes the freedom to run in Nelson. Having grown up in Liverpool, the 16-year-old was forced to navigate a concrete jungle of pedestrians and motorists to get to the fresh country air he craved. However, after relocating with his family to New Zea-

land, Joshua is now spoilt for choice when it comes to places to run. “There are so many places you can go, the Maitai, Rabbit Island, Saxton. In Liverpool you have to go through the city and breathe in all the traffic and people.” Joshua says running is his personal form of meditation and the runner’s high is the “best feeling.” “After a run, I just feel better. It’s where I clear my head and feel most at peace.” The Nelson College student’s dedication to his craft has seen him crowned the fastest cross-country runner in the South Island. “That was pretty awesome.” His season also saw him place ninth in nationals and third at the New Zealand Cross-Country Championships in Hawera, running for Tasman. “I was sitting in seventh and just thought to myself ‘I can do it, just get rid of the pain and fatigue, and leave it all

out on the track.’” A member of Athletics Nelson and the National Academy of Distance Running, Joshua has trained under some incredibly successful coaches. He began under the astute Greg Lautenslager, who won Coach of the Year five times at the Nelson Sports Awards, and is now coached by 2016 Olympian Julian Matthews. It wasn’t until he was nearing the end of his primary school days that Joshua discovered his talent for distance running. “Our school took a few boys to interschool. It was the first distance race I had run in, and I won, it was amazing. It was just really natural to me.” Joshua is currently running up to 90km a week for training as he looks to better his personal best times of 9:08 and 4:13 in the 3000 and 1500 metres respectively. The camaraderie he shares with his teammates helps push through any pain barriers.

“I have made my best friends through the sport ... if you’re not enjoying it there’s no point.” Entering his final year of college in 2022, Joshua wants to win all the major running events with one he is particularly targeting, the cross-county championships in Nelson. With mental strength just as crucial as physical in the world of distance running, Joshua says he still lives by the advice once given to him by a teammate. “You can do as much training as your competitors but if you don’t believe you have won the race before you step on the track, you won’t win.” Joshua has been nominated for Junior Sportsperson of the Year at the ASB Nelson Sports Awards. The awards will be presented by Sport Tasman via livestream on the Sport Tasman Facebook page and the Nelson App from 7pm - 9pm on Friday, 3 December.

They were made to work for it but defending champions Athletic College Old Boys continue to set the pace in the Tasman Premier League, with its third win on the trot. A brave chase from Wakatu fell 29 runs shy of its target as Ollie Jones-Allen produced a crucial five-for to lead his side to victory on Saturday. Half centuries at the top of the order by Finn Restieaux and Thomas Zohrab set Wakatu a formidable total of 267. Restieaux’s 75 came off just 73 deliveries and comprised of 11 boundaries and a six, with both Sam Berkett and JonesAllen provided some late fireworks. Daniel Hooper and Campbell McLean ensured a thrilling reply from the hosts with 80 and 69 respectively. At 216/6 it was ‘game-on’ but

when McLean fell, the lower order followed suit, dismissed for 238 with Jones-Allen claiming 5/53. Elsewhere, Car Company Stoke/Nayland made short work of Nelson College at Marsden Rec., chasing down the modest target with eight wickets and more than 30 overs to spare. The hosts ripped through the college line-up in just 27 overs with Jared Silvester again at the forefront of the attack with 3/19, while Daniel Phillipps sneared 3/19 off four. Josh Smith was kept busy behind the stumps with five catches and a run out as no Nelson batsman was able to get past 20. Chris Dittimer controlled a comfortable chase as he notched 59 from 51 balls to seal an emphatic win. In Blenheim, the Falcons produced the highest total of the season on the back of the competition’s first century.

Matthew Stretch blasted 142 from 109 to propel the Falcons to an imposing 309 against Waimea Toi Toi United, losing its final wicket with the final ball of the innings. Despite the mammoth total, Sam Baxendine managed to bag 6/36 with James Ranson going for a few but chipping in with three wickets. WTTU was never in the hunt, eventually dismissed for 125, skipper Stretch backing up his heroics with the bat with 2/9 to finish off the tail. The second match over the Whangamoa saw Taylors Contracting Wanderers/Motueka pick up its second win, defeating the Dolphins by six wickets. With two wickets apiece for five Wanderers bowlers, the Dolphins collapsed to 105 all out. In response, an unbeaten 37 from Kyle Paki Paki got his side home with almost 20 overs up their sleeve.

#FinzUp The Mako had its quest for a hattrick of titles foiled at the hands of Waikato last weekend. Tasman fell agonisingly short in the Premiership final, going down 23-20 in a thriller. It began with a fairy-tale season, an unbeaten run to an inaugural premiership title in 2019. The Mako followed this up with a gritty effort against a highly-favoured Auckland side to go backto-back last season. However, a third consecutive crown has eluded the side in a season where the squad was ravaged by injury and depleted through All Blacks duty. Not to mention the constant uncertainties and disruptions due to Covid-19 - the Mako can be proud of its stellar season. Written off by many after being soundly defeated in the shield challenge and only just scraping into the playoffs, the Mako peaked at the perfect time, producing two near-flawless performances against Wellington and Hawke's Bay before falling to the Mooloos. D'Angelo Leuila kicked off the scoring in the final as Hamilton put on a stunning evening for the crescendo of the provincial season.

The Mako came within three points of achieving its threepeat. Photo: Shuttersport Tasman claimed the lead approaching the half hour mark, Regan Ware finishing off a brilliant break by halfback Louie Chapman. Just as Tasman appeared to be asserting control, speedster Bailyn Sullivan turned the tide in a flash as he latched onto a poor pass to streak away for Waikato's first try. Mitch Hunt evened the honours before Leuila put the hosts back

in front at halftime with a penalty after the siren. Almost immediately after Hunt squared it up again, Sullivan struck for a second time, another intercept putting Waikato up 2013. Quentin MacDonald entered the fray in his 100th cap for Tasman while Levi Aumua made a massive impact off the pine. The hulking centre made two

surging breaks within minutes of getting on the field, his second setting up Quin Strange to score and reestablish the stalemate with ten to play. Replacement first five Fletcher Smith then kicked the crucial points that would end up separating the two gallant teams, the win breaking a 15-year title drought for Waikato. It is often said that when it comes to success in big games, “winning the big moments” is key - and so it proved on Saturday night. When Tasman reflect on how the final slipped away they will pinpoint a series of ‘big moments’ which they lost. They will look at the loose pass that gifted Sullivan a runaway try immediately after Tasman had begun to boss the game. They will rue a scrum penalty on the stroke of halftime that enabled the home side to grab a psychological edge going into the break. Ditto with the wayward pass that handed Sullivan his second try, then an early penalty goal miss

in the second half, the penalty against Anton Segner that allowed Fletcher Smith to land the match-winning penalty and finally, the wayward lineout in overtime that ended Tasman’s chances of a last-gasp miracle play. Make no mistake, the Mako were up for this game and right in it until the final whistle. They were just not at their clinical best, and often struggled with the interpretations of referee Nick Briant who, incidentally, also refereed the previous Mooloo v Mako match this season, won 3922 by Waikato. The 2021 NPC has been a long and winding road, not just for the Mako but for all the NPC sides. When Covid reared its ugly head again the competition was turned on its head. Tasman began with a couple of strong showing, beating Bay of Plenty away then lowering Auckland’s colours in Nelson before the competition went into an enforced hiatus. When they returned to action, over a month later, Auckland, Counties Manukau and North Harbour had dropped out of the competition and the season’s planning was completely up in the air. The Mako returned with a big win over Northland, but then struck their first road bump, against the side who would prove their season’s nemesis, Waikato. They rebounded with a big win over Southland, then headed for Napier and a shot at the Ranfurly Shield full of confidence. But the Magpies were in the middle of a strong season and again Tasman came up short. Old foe Canterbury was up next and they also had the Mako measure, winning narrowly in Christchurch. Tasman’s final round robin match was against Wellington, in Blenheim, and had become a virtual

Leicester Fainga'anuku topped the try scoring charts with eight. Photo: Shuttersport quarter-final, with the Lions also needing to win to make the play-offs. A superb second half and some gritty defence go the job done though and then it was on to the semis and another trip to Napier. This time the Bay were beaten, Tasman turning in probably their best performance of a testing season. Then came the final and a chance to conclude what had turned into something of a bizarre season with some familiar silverware. Making it even more bizarre was the fact their opponents were able to bring this season’s Bay of Plenty halfback, former All Black Te Toiroa Tahuriorangi, on from the bench for the final 10 minutes. One wonders if Mitch Drummond wouldn’t have been a handy reserve for the Mako. Anyway, despite slipping at the final hurdle, Tasman can take plenty of positives from a season which involved major change.

N E L S O N

The loss of key backline players Finlay Christie, David Havili, Sevu Reece, Mark Telea, Fetuli Paea and Will Jordan certainly hurt the Mako potency on attack, while Tyrel Lomax, Shannon Frizell, Ethan Blackadder, Ryan Coxon and Sione Havili Talitui were sorely missed up front. However, player development became key, with a string of young players putting their hands up to step into the space left by those regulars. Guys such as Louie Chapman, who found his running game in the final, Antonio Shalfoon, Max Hicks, Sam Matenga, Anton Segner, Timoci Tavatavanawai (perhaps the rookie of the year), Luca Inch, Macca Springer and Willie Havili showed they can live at the top level. The youngsters were able to again rely on a band of senior players led by cocaptains Mitch Hunt, whose guidance was superb, and Quinten Strange. Such experienced operators as Quen-

tin MacDonald, Pari Pari Parkinson, Te Ahiwaru Cirikidaveta, Jacob Norris, Hugh Renton, Alex Nankivell, Tim O’Malley, Levi Aumua and the irrepressible Leicester Fainga’anuku were also pivotal as the Mako found a way to get into the ‘big dance’ again. They may not have come away with the result that they craved, but Tasman again deserve the respect and admiration of the NZ sporting public, not only for the way they continue to develop talent, but also for their ability to handle defeat with dignity and class.

Robb steals the show again Jody Scott Canterbury’s Harley Robb has a habit of taking home trophies from Milestone Homes Top of the South Speedway. Over the weekend, he continued the trend - picking up top prize with team-mate Jayden Nicholls in the stock car best pairs Summer Slam. The former NZ Grand Prix champion was still hard to catch with two wins and a 2nd placing in the heats to give the pairing a one-point win over local Roydon Winstanley and Blenheim’s Wade Sweeting. Harley’s father Craig Robb and Jason Brooks were 3rd. The $500 stirrers prize went to Riley Eathorne. The superstocks ran their pairs promotion and had good numbers with five visitors adding to a full field of locals. The return of Ben Taylor and Phil Krammer boosted the numbers. Adam Hall collected his first trophy win in the super stocks winning with partner Lloyd Jennings. Brett Nicholls and Matt Inwood came 2nd and Krammer and Mitch Berry came 3rd. Josh Nell felt a bit wary after sliding his super stock on a wet track, backing it into the wall and over on its lid. The wing, only a few meetings old now, looked very second-hand.

Callum Russ continued his good form in the youth section - winning two out of three races, and coming in 2nd in the other. Abbey Carter had a scary moment in her production saloon, ending upside down in her final heat. Eddy Frans and Cam Lankshear cleaned up their pairs racing. Kohen Thompson just pipped Locky Martin by a point in the Quarter Midget grade. Alicia Hill and James Thompson shared points spoils in the second round of the club T.Q champs, the feature win going the way of James Schoester in a nice drive. Ryan Musgrove returned to winning ways in the street stocks after playing blocker last meeting. Neville Soper took a big hit and came off second best with a break to his left leg. He was hit by another car and then forced into the wall and, although it didn’t look too bad, it was enough to cause the serious leg injury. It took a while to safely extract him from the car after he was towed into the pit area still inside the car. Both St John and speedway rescue pulled Soper from the car after he was stabilised. The next meeting is the “Big One” - the PTS Super Stock Stampede over two nights on December 10 and 11, including Ministock Mania and Street Stock provincial triples event.
