And with a wife who also works as a firefighter and three kids un der seven-years-old, life is some times a bit of a juggle. Matt was one of many firefight ers who walked off the job again for an hour on Friday - their sec ond strike this month to push for more firefighters, better equip ment, better safety, more mental health support, and better pay. “It is hard. My wife has just start ed working again and we have to take extra shifts, but it’s a real struggle,” says Matt, who has been a firefighter for seven years. “Recently I have been doing 80 to 90 hours per week and we have to balance that between the two of Heus.” says their kids are used to coming into the station when they do their changeovers. “It has become somewhat normal for them, but we have noticed a real struggle over the weekends with social events, birthday par ties, or attending things together as a family. Everything else drops off, something gets sacrificed.” It has also been tough on him “I’vepersonally.been to see a councillor a couple of times just to try and work out how to separate work from Friday’slife.”notice of industrial ac tion was issued by the New Zea land Professional Firefighters Union (NZPFU) following un successful negotiations with Fire and Emergency NZ (FENZ) for a new collective agreement.

FENZ national com mander Russell Wood said there were 10 calls to fire and emergency in total across the country during the strike, and they were all alarm activations. He said it was “extremely disappointing and frus trating” that the union had chosen to continue to organise strike action. Matt says they had an even bigger turnout last week, with more retired firefighters and lots of families coming out to support the strike. “We didn’t expect to even be here the first week, and here we are again. We re ally did hope there would be some reasonable nego tiations that would hap pen,” he says. “No one wants to do itit’s not like we’re not being forced to, we’ve got a real moral obligation to turn up.

At the start of 2021, Minister Little said any Nelson Hospi tal building would be “com menced before the end of this term of Parliament,” and he says that is still the case. Nelson mayoral candidate and former Nelson MP Nick Smith says he has heard from “multiple sources” that the project has already fallen be hind schedule and there is “no chance” of work commencing before October next year – the end of the parliamentary term. Andrew says that’s not the “It’scase. due to go to the sub committee of the board of Te Whatu Ora Health New Zea land next month. It’s on track as much as it could possibly be,” he says.

Hospital rebuild on track

“I am advised that there are delays in design, changes in the capital investment ap proval system of Health NZ, and that the most optimistic programme is tenders for the construction being called in 2023 and work commencing in 2024,” Nick says. In January 2020, the Nelson City Council issued earth quake-prone building notices for two of the hospital build ings; the George Manson building, and the Percy Bru nette building. Seismic work is required to be carried out by November 2028. The George Manson build ing met just 22 per cent of the building code so was deemed a priority. Later in 2020, a government stocktake found the George Manson building to be among the worst in the country. Nelson MP Rachel Boyack says it’s important, when looking at Nelson Hos pital as a priority, to go back to that stocktake – the Capital Management Analysis. “That put Nelson at the top of the list, the analysis is there that Nelson absolutely has pri ority alongside a couple of oth er Whenbuilds.”asked if there was risk that sky-rocketing construc tion costs might delay or di minish the capacity of the rebuild, Andrew said that in creased costs had already been taken into account. “No, we have factored in that even projects that are already under way are going to be well adrift in terms of initial cost, we have factored in the like lihood of cost escalation,” he Asays.rough costing of $713m was spoken about when the an nouncement of funding was first made It was part of a wid er $1.3b in capital funding. While he says a final costing won’t be known until a final plan has been approved, he is confident that the rebuild will commence as planned.

Gridlocked city Bernadette Whitaker from The Gentle Cycling Company offered reduced e-bike hire rates last week to help ease traffic.

Last week Nelsonians were faced with traffic mayhem. State Highway 6 along Rocks Rd was closed due to the threat of slips, following the four-day weather bomb that hit the region. That, added to an already under-pressure Waimea Rd due to roadworks, resulted in some very frustrated commuters.

To ease some pressure, Nel son City Council offered a free bus service to and from Rich mond, which will run until 7 “BusSeptember.drivers saw an increase in the number of young people using the buses outside of peak hours last week and commuter numbers remained pretty sol id,” says group manager infra structure, Alec Louverdis.

“Please stick to essential car journeys and walk, cycle, or use public transport, if you are able to,” he says. “We’re really grateful to all the people who were able to stay at home, walk or cycle last week.”

Owner of The Gentle Cycling Company, Bernadette Whitak er, offered reduced e-bike hire rates for the week to encourage people to hop on their bikes. But some had had enough and came straight in to buy one.

“Honestly, tonight has been the worst … today it took me one hour and ten minutes to get to Stoke. The traffic was blocked right up Hardy St from 3pm onwards,” said a frustrated commuter. “Finished work by the port at 2.30pm, got home to Tahuna at 4pm,” said another. However, some people decid ed to think outside the box.

Others took out their frustra tion on the same platform.

‘Stay at home’ was the message from Civil Defence last week. Many people could work from home, and some schools were closed - which helped. But for those who didn’t have that option or had somewhere to be, it was gridlock city.

Free - Do it at home

Civil Defence took to social media on Thursday to warn commuters of a backlog that weaved all the way down both Vanguard and St Vincent Sts. “Traffic is currently at a stand still for those travelling the main routes between Nelson and Richmond. If you’re able to avoid travel or delay your trip, that would be a fine idea.”

Bystanders found it just as painful to watch and a woman and her daughter were spotted handing out bags of lollies to frustrated drivers last week on Brougham St. Alec says while Rocks Rd is back open again this week, the message is similar.

SARA HOLLYMAN When Shaz Nicholls met Ken Mansfield, known to many as Bear, she knew he was her forever Theperson.couple shared four happy years together before Ken passed away in 2019. “It was one of those things you just knew that was it, that was your forever person,” Shaz says. But three years later Shaz has lost one of her most important mem ories of Ken; a ring she bought him for Christmas. Ken was a lover of chunky rings, which he would often be seen wearing whenever he went out.

A liated Provider to Southern Cross Health Society for Endovenous Laser Treatment & Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy

Shaz says what happened in be tween is a mystery. “I had my hands full at the count er, so I’ve worked out from there I’ve potentially put my bag down, got my phone out with my card and grabbed my keys at the same time. But I’ve probably left my bag at the counter, from there it’s become a real mystery.” She says the women at the hos pice store were very helpful and checked out back in case it had been picked up as a donated bag, but no luck. Shaz says someone may have picked it up or maybe purchased it thinking it was a donation. She describes the handbag as a small black shoulder bag with a very light fur coating on one side. Inside it is a small yellow gauze bag with a drawstring top which contains the ring and an old-fashioned key – another memento from Ken’s niece’s wedding and a special memory for the couple. She says the other things in the bag don’t matter - but the ring; “He’s worn it, it’s the one thing after he passed away that I keep with me everywhere I go. If I changed my handbag its always something that I kept with me, I’m not usually so careless.”

To the person who may have picked the bag up or accidentally purchased it, Shaz has a plea. “Please realise how sentimental it is, when someone’s passed away it’s the keepsakes that hold those Shememories.”saysthere would be no ill feelings at all, she just wants her forever man’s ring back. If you have any information about the missing bag email sara@top southmedia.co.nz

Lost ring: ‘It’s irreplaceable’

“They suggested I go next door to Armstrong Security who have cameras operating, they checked for me and could see I walked into the shop with the bag, but when I came out, I didn’t have it on my shoulder.”

“Everyone that knew him knew he liked his big chunky rings on, he had a lot already when I met him, but I wanted to buy him one especially from me.” So, for Christmas she purchased him one that he would wear all the time, and when he passed away, it was the most important keepsake she held onto. But last week, Shaz misplaced her handbag which she kept the ring in, during a visit to the Richmond Hospice shop. “I left work on Tuesday afternoon, normally I’d go straight into town to train the Victory Boxing girls group but that wasn’t on because of the traffic and emergency, so I thought I’d take the time to have a nosey at the op shop for things I don’t need.”

A while after she got home with her new haul, she realised she didn’t have her bag, so the follow ing day headed back to the store to see if it had been located.

Matt, along with fellow Nel son Airport firefighter Murray Hart, took part in the Fire fighter Sky Tower Challenge last Saturday, raising $3400 for Leukaemia and Blood Cancer NowNZ. in its 18th year, the chal lenge saw 900 firefighters from across the country climb the 51 flights of stairs, totalling 1103 individual steps, to the top of the 328-metre-tall tower - all while clad in a full 25kg fire fighting kit. This was the sixth year Murray has participated, and this year he took out his category in an impressive 13.43 minutes. He says two things keep him coming back each year.

The list of people who deserve recognition is a massive one so I won’t try to name everyone, but I would especially like to acknowledge everybody at Civil Defence, our first responders, Nelson City and Tasman District Council staff, all the contractors who have been putting in huge hours, government agencies, iwi, volunteer organisations and all those people who dropped what they were doing to help Nelsonians in need.

Once again we’ve found ourselves in a State of Emergency and once more we’ve risen to the challenge, supported one another, kept it together, rolled up our sleeves and got on with it. It hasn’t been easy and for many Nelsonians the road to recovery will take some time but, at the same time, we can be proud of our community and the way that so many people have stepped up.

I’d also like to say thanks to all the journalists and photographers who have been covering the floods and slips; you’ve helped us to understand what’s been going on and brought it to the attention of the Thanksworld.also to all those businesses and individuals who offered support to our evacuees and frontline crew.

Cheers as well to everyone who has volunteered or donated to the Mayoral Relief Fund. Speaking of which, the account number is 03 0703 0325055 00

So take a bow Nelson-Whakatū and take a moment to reflect on what a great community this is and how lucky we are to be a part of it.

Positive mental health is often connected to having a sense of purpose, knowing who we are, being able to do the things that matter to us and feeling connected to others. This is linked to resilience, which is having positive ways to deal with your feelings, recover from things that impact you and enjoy life even when things are hard.

Your mental health is closely linked to how you think and feel about yourself and others, how you create and manage relationships and friendships and the ways that you’re able to cope with the ups and downs of emotions that you face in your everyday life. to get help about harming yourself or are suicidal thoughts, call on 0508 82 88 someone who cares and can

Calm Harm A free app that helps you manage or resist the urge to AssistsBeyondself-harm.Nowyouto create your own suicide safety plan to keep you safe when experiencing suicidal thoughts.

Apps hold amazing potential as mental health and wellbeing tools. You can carry them everywhere, engage with them in real time as you’re experiencing distress, and interact with them in a completely different way to other self-help tools. It is important to remember that apps don’t replace professional help or your doctor’s advice, and there is no current accreditation system for apps that are designed.

Smiling mind An app where you can practice daily meditation and mindfulness exercises from any Mindshiftdevice.

Tips for providing help to children after a crisis:

• Make time for just being together. Take time out and re-establish recreational activities and outings as soon as you can. Having fun is an important part of healing. Resources for adults, children, and caregivers dealing with recovery stress are available from: nz/Floods+and+Storms+Supporthttp://skylight.org.

It’s important to know, though, that having positive mental health overall doesn’t mean you’re excluded from experiencing mental distress. Our hauora is not individual. It’s a weaving together of our whānau, our whakapapa, our connection to the world around us and our beliefs. This helps us form an identity that connects us to our past, grounds us in our present and lifts us up to the opportunities our future holds. It means that we’re a part of something bigger than ourselves, and within this we can find people

having

• Keep them informed of how their recovery is going and what to expect.

• Maintain routine and familiarity to help children see that life is secure and

• Keep communication open by asking questions to find out what they are thinking or imagining. Tell them how adults feel and what the actions of adults under stress mean. This will prevent children blaming themselves.

Supporting the mental health our (youth)

Helping our young people to understand and navigate their mental health and build resilience after a crisis is core to supporting them through this time. What is mental health?

If you’re thinking

• Encourage them to express emotions. Fear and sadness are their way of coming to terms with what has happened. Hold them or stay with them, offer support while they are upset and talk about it afterwards.

Conserving water From various news reports, including the Nelson Weekly, I understand we in Nelson and Stoke are being asked to con serve water, due to damage to the Maitai pipeline. I’m sure like me you would have been surprised, and I admit angry, that two men spent Wednes day afternoon water blasting the amenities block at the Park at Ngawhatu Road. This building was not in dire need of water blasting and in the current situation, what were the powers that be thinking? I would rather see the water be ing used helping those in dire needs, than wasted as it was. Are there two sets of rules?

Janet Way Russell St traffic I would like to send a mes sage to whoever can authorise a GIVEWAY of some sort, to Russell St. The traffic coming from Rentone St can see to the bottom of Russell Street, al though there is a hump in the middle, which could be turned into a ‘hump’ to stop the loo nies who hoon up and down streetthe between midnight to 6am. I have lived in this area for five years and am surprised that a child, dog, cat has not caused a serious accident!!

Thankyou to the helpers who tirelessly helped with the flood clean-up

To the many people who helped, from supplying lunch, gumboots, a spade and the many hands that helped out up Coster St - thank you so much!

Faace Faaoso Taliau I would like to thank the Pub lic Information Management team at Civil Defence for their constant, informative, valuable updates, written with empathy and a touch of humour. I have done this role in the past and I know the commitment, stress levels and demands this 24hour job requires. Thank you.

Rebecca Jacobsen, James Rees, Reuben Jane, friends, the Stu dent Volunteer Army, and the random people who we’ve never met who came to help clean up mum’s flood damaged property at Clouston Tce. So appreciated! Thank you.

A big shout out to the unseen heroes who worked 24/7 to at tend to essential repairs at the Maitai dam during this event.

James Perks from the Power Board who has (along with many others) been keeping the power going to Nelson under some rough and challenging conditions. Murray Leaning and Wendy who really hold up our community with their kindness and generosity.

Evey McAuliffe supports a large former refugee family that ar rived in Nelson in December 2021. She had gifted the father a bike, and he indicated he would like a ‘kiddy seat’ for the youngest “Ichild.contacted

Bike Hub Nelson and they had someone come to look at the bike,” Evey says. “When they returned with a bike seat, the father was delighted to meet another man.” She says his child was absolutely thrilled to be on the back of dad’s

“He met regularly with me for a year, and with his contacts and help, the dream became a reality.”

100 free bikes ride out the door

“One reason I set it up was be cause I believe cycling is an im portant part of the transport Hemix.”was aware of bike hubs in other centres and countries and thought the idea of donated bikes being fixed and donated would work here in Nelson.

For opening hours and more in formation go to Facebook’s Bike Hub Nelson site or email bike hubnelson@gmail.com

“Atbike.the time he needed a haircut, but was refusing,” Evey says. “His dad and I took him for a bike ride and ended up at a barber’s shop. When we went in, he saw two schoolboys getting their hair cut and decided it wasn’t such torture after all.” Evey posted a picture of him get ting his hair cut and got replies from the family saying, “how did you get him there?” Her reply was, “on the bike”. Since then, Evey has been back to the bike hub. The oldest daughter and an aunty were both able to try bikes out and choose one that fitted “Gettingthem.abike gives people free dom, and helps them feel em powered,” Evey says. More trips to the bike hub are planned. In the meantime, Evey is teaching the women road safe ty. While some have ridden be fore, it has been in the confines of a “Itcourtyard.wasn’tsafe where they came from for women to ride bikes out in public,” she says. “With bikes now they can explore Nelson.” Donated bikes are assessed, and fixed by a team of volunteers, then given the sticker of approval. “Then it’s the joyful opportunity to see people come in who want a bike and we help them select a suitable one, and a helmet if they don’t have one,” volunteer Colin Bell says. “Children all choose an electric bell, Manytoo.” of the volunteers are keen cyclists themselves and have tin kered with their own bikes over the years. Many have upskilled after a training session with Jim Matthews, who for years owned Village Cycles. The Bike Hub was Bevan Wood ward’s idea, who says he thinks it’s wonderful to see so many bikes gifted. For Bevan, there are many com pelling reasons to help people get onto bikes including expensive fuel prices, traffic congestion, en vironmental concerns and people wanting to be fit.

More than 100 bikes have been given away by Bike Hub Nelson since it opened its doors at the end of May.

Piles of contaminated furniture have lined the footpath of Nile St for days now that residents are back in their homes. The huge clean-up following the devastating flood has begun with people having to throw away fridges, beds, couches and dishwashers. On Saturday, volunteers were seen loading large items that were too big for the skips that have been provided, into trucks to be carted to the York Valley landfill site. A volunteer on the ground said more stuff was coming out of the homes all the time and would be coming out for days as people sifted through their belongings. “One lady said she had a lot to go through to try and find anything salvageable, a family’s 40 years’ worth of belongings.”

“I had great support from Matt Lawrey,” Bevan says.

HOME AND GARDEN

Spring home maintenance check list: Check for moss that has grown over the cooler months. Moss can cause asphalt roof shingles to lift, concrete tiles to crack and iron roofs to discolour. If you are uncomfortable with getting onto your own roof to clean away the moss and algae, then call in the professionals to help out! Give your heat pump some at tention. Remove debris from around the unit, replace filters, and clean ducts and vents. If your filters are clogged, air can’t easily pass through, and your unit must work harder to cool your home. Clogged filters can lead to lower air quality in your home and increase your energy consumption by up to 15%. Inspect any concrete and deck ing areas. Take a walk around your home and check for crack ing along the driveway, pool deck, or walkways. Fill cracks using silicone caulk or con crete fillers. When inspecting your deck, look for water stains, warping or discoloration. Watch out for loose or rusty nails and perform any necessary mainte nance to secure stairs and rail ings. If you find lifting or rotting boards, replace them. Give your deck a birthday with a simple clean and have it ready for you to stain and or re-oil. Spray for pests and bugs. Spring is the time you want to get a professional in to spray your house for pesky insects includ ing wasps, cockroaches, ants, and more. Make it sparkle. While giving the outside of your home a wash, and the windows a clean, take the time to check for any cracks, or repairs that may have arisen during winter. Spring cleaning your home: Bedrooms: Wash and pack away winter bedding, and replace with fresh summer linen, and wash or replace pillows.

Wipe down all kitchen surfaces, cupboard doors, walls, ceilings and islands. Tidy kitchen drawers and

Bathrooms: Clean grouting, and check washers in taps and toilets, replacing broken seals around the shower, basin and bath. Empty the contents of your bathroom cabinets, safely discarding any old medication and cosmetics. Spruce up the garden: Take the time to weed the garden and top up your compost. Make use of pesky weeds by making a ‘weed tea’ and turning it into a great liquid ferti liser for use in the coming weeks. Sim ply pop them into a bucket with water and let steep, stir ring occasion ally with a stick. Feed existing plants in prepa ration for har vesting and add mulch for an extra bit of love. Feed, weed, patch and spike your lawn to ensure good, lush growth before summer. Winter is tough on soil, so add in lost nutrients by piling on more or ganic matter and mulch. This can be compost, aged manure, shredded dried leaves, chopped seaweed and chopped-up spent plants. Adding on a layer of mulch will help keep those nutrients in your soil. As spring warms into summer, it will also help to con serve moisture.

He has had a lot of encour agement from the commu nity after posting that they will do all drycleaning free for those whose homes are Darylred-stickered.isnot the only one who has stepped up to help the Longcommunity.termvolunteer Marty Price worked 11 to 12 hours each day during the first days of the flood and says the great thing about Nelson and Tasman is the way every body bands together to help. As a community patroller he works to support the po lice, and as soon as he real ised something was wrong contacted them to see where he could help. Initially he worked in the Nile and Tas man St area. On the third day of the floods Marty was directed to Rocks Rd. He and Wakefield police officer Jamie White went to a house needing to evacuate. “It was a man who had lived in the house all his 80 years, and it had never flooded be fore,” Marty says. In some areas, evacuations needed to be within one or two minutes, but in this in stance the man was able to finish his lunch, collect his wallet and an overnight bag, before evacuating 10 min utes later. “For this man, it was at his pace, and he appreciated that he needed to evacuate and was very compliant.”

forward to cele brating his 70th birthday with friends on Saturday, 27 August, he woke to news of road closures and Civil De fence asking people to stay off the roads where possible. “I had friends coming from out of town but realised we shouldn’t be bringing more people into the area, and thought we better stay out of the motor car, so we can celled the celebration.”

Debriefing is a priority for Marty. Already he has met with a team. “After events like this de briefing is massive to me,” he “Safetysays. of my patrollers is Martyimportant.”posted on his Tasman Region Facebook page, ask ing if anyone in the region needed extra help to clear their property, or if anyone was keen to help. Pic Picot was another who transformed the turn-ofevents into something posi Lookingtive.

Bush Road resident Leah Hawke says everyone in the community pitched in to help with sandbags and shovelling gravel for a few “Onedays. person posted on Face book that they needed help and 20 or 30 people turned up to help,” Leah says. “People from further up the valley who were okay came down to help others.”

“It’s a huge loss for a lot of people,” Marty says. “It’s hard to put into words.”

Marty says other times, as he asked people to leave their homes, the trauma was on their faces.

It’s bark-like dorsal camouflage blends in beautifully with the trees on which it clings. In addition, forest geckos can quickly change the shade of their dorsal colouration to better blend in.

Instead, they had a smaller celebration at Pic’s Peanut Butter CateringWorld.forthe event at The Boathouse was finger food for 120 people which Pic decided to donate to Te Ko tahi o Te Tauihu Charitable Trust, which then distribut ed it to frontline emergency staff and those who had been “Ievacuated.lookedfor a while to find someone to donate the food to,” Pic says. “The women at Te Kotahi o Te Tauihu were practical and Picamazing.”kepta little food for din ner, which he shared with neighbours who he met properly for the first time during the floods. “We had a slip on our street and met some new neigh bours. Six came over for dinner,” he says. “It was very Thespecial.”Hira Store operated in a new way for a time during the Insteadfloods.ofcustomers coming in to buy items, they popped in to pick up free food and Hiramilk. Store owner/operator Sotheara Kim says they were running out of stock and couldn’t get out to get more. “A neighbour had the ini tiative and organised Civil Defence to bring a load in,” Sotheara says. “We posted on Facebook and locals came and helped themselves to what they Sothearaneeded.” says it was special for the staff because they know the locals. “We see their faces all the time,” he says. “I’m all about helping peo Heple.” says people came and packed out the shop, stop ping to chat to each other. He enjoyed standing back seeing everyone interacting. Members of the community showed their appreciation by delivering flowers to the Othersstore. who hadn’t needed supplies called in after they finished cleaning up. “They came and said ‘thank you, we are glad you are Sothearahere’.” says being able to open the store for people to come and help themselves was a little beautiful thing that happened during the Toddchaos.

Daryl Hamilton from Master Valet Drycleaners and Apparelmaster is just one of many who have stepped in to offer support to the region following devastating flooding.

If you are lucky enough to find one and get close enough, you may notice the lining of their mouth is yellow or orange and edged with white scales, and that their tongue is pink, yellow or bright orange. The soles of their feet are yellow while their bellies are grey and blotchy. From snout to vent, they may grow up to 89mm long. New Zealand’s geckos fall into two categories, the grey-brown and the green geckos. No prize for guessing forest geckos belong to the grey-brown group. As with others in this group, they are mostly nocturnal, but may be seen during the day basking in the sun. Forest geckos are omnivorous, feeding on small invertebrates, such as flies, moths, beetles and spiders, as well as berries and nectar.

New Zealand’s geckos are unusual in that they give birth to live young. Geckos elsewhere in the world lay eggs, with the exception of at least one species in New Caledonia. Forest geckos typically mate in autumn or spring and give birth to twins in mid to late summer. Forest geckos have a sash-like distribution across New Zealand, extending on the North Island from Northland, south of the Aupouri Peninsula, to Taranaki and Bay of Plenty and on the South Island from Marlborough across to Tasman and south to Westland. They are also found on a number of offshore islands.

Good sorts helping community after flood

JENNY NICHOLSON Daryl Hamilton from Mas ter Valet Drycleaners and Apparelmaster had a phone call last week that got him “Athinking.woman called Fiona rang. She has a friend whose house was red-stickered and asked me if I would be able to do some work for her,” Daryl “Shesays. asked me how much it would cost?”

When Daryl offered to clean the clothing free of charge, Fiona cried. “That really resonated with me,” he says. “When she brought the items in, I thought, ‘I want to do a bit more than help one Darylperson’.”took a red felt pen and made a sign to hang outside the shop offering free dry cleaning of clothes and fur nishings for anyone whose house was red-stickered. “The least we can do for peo ple whose houses are as they are, is to clean their clothes for them.”

Vulnerable to mammalian predators and habitat loss, they are classified as ‘at risk, declining’. Keep your eyes peeled for this fascinating critter in residence next time you visit the Sanctuary! CRITTER IN PIRIRMOKORESIDENCE: ĀKAU / FOREST GECKO (Mokopirirakau granulatus)

Sam says the group had coor dinated with Civil Defence and would be focusing on the Matai area for their clean up. With so many people signed up to help, they sent the first arriv als the farthest afield to get the most done they can before work ing their way back towards the base of operations at the Botanics Sports field. Sam says the mobilisation of members from their Nelson chapter, like Matt, is “exactly” what they hoped would happen as SVA continued to expand. Representatives from the SVA committee at the University of Canterbury also travelled to Nelson, bringing with them 10 wheelbarrows, shovels, gumboots and various tools to assist with the clean up. The SVA was formed in 2010 by Sam as a response to the Christ church earthquakes, setting up a Facebook group called the ‘Stu dent Base for Earthquake Clean Up’ that turned into a collective movement of 11,000 people.

I thought with the help of SVA, we could get a lot done.” Matt is currently completing SVA’s award scheme programme and is sitting at the bronze lev el having logged more than 60 hours of community service this year. He says, with the proj ect coming together so quickly, they’d relied on social media and word of mouth to help get people “We’veinvolved.also been door knocking around affected areas, seeing who needs help.” SVA chief executive Sam Johnson says they were already investigat ing how they could help when Matt reached out. “He messaged us and asked if we can work together.”

In 1927 he contest ed the Mayoralty, defeating the sit ting Mayor William Lock. He was the Mayor when the new Trafalgar St Bridge was opened. In 1935, due to ill health, Walter did not stand for Mayor, but remained on the Council. That same year he was awarded the King George V Silver Jubilee Medal. He was involved with a number of community organisations. In 1900 he was among those who sought to es tablish a volunteer Corps in Motueka.

It’s time to invest in our city With our city starting to look towards recovery following our severe weather event, and people beginning the long task of cleaning up and rebuilding, more than ever we need leadership that will uplift and support our communities. Our city centre, Stoke and Tāhunanui have all suffered from decades of underinvestment, our active transport infrastructure needs strength ening, and our housing crisis requires a concerted effort to address.

Basketball Nelson’s operation manager Jack Lang believes the issues stem from players imitat ing what they see on TV. “You have any NBA game and there’s someone yelling and bark ing at the ref.”

Tasman Rugby’s referee devel opment manager Dave Paterson says he sees abuse as threats of violence and swearing. They have had two reported in stances of abuse this year, but he says that’s not the full picture of sideline behaviour. While most people aren’t a prob lem, once the referee is perceived to make a mistake, “they’re fair “It’sgame”.interesting.

“You expect them to make all the right calls but are you making 100 per cent of your shots,” says Jack.

“Without these people running around with a whistle, these games don’t happen.”

Football’s Nelson referee devel opment officer Neil Capstick says while they have had some instances of abuse this year that were sent to a disciplinary hear ing, it has been largely manage able despite some cases seeing people hang up their whistle in the Nelsonpast.Bays Football operations and administration manager Val Smith only becomes involved when an official complaint is lodged over the “worst offences”. She has received one complaint this year from junior grades but says that offensive language from a 12-year-old player is unaccept “I’veable. played sports long enough to understand passion and the heat of the moment, but there’s boundaries and a line.” The sentiment that referees are expected to have perfect perfor mances was shared across the codes and their representatives throughout Nelson.

While they have processes in place to deal with offences, he believes punishments need to be “Asharsher.acommunity, we’ve tried lots and it doesn’t get through. “It’s a weekly thing. I run five competitions and the only one it doesn’t happen in is the really young Nelsonones.”Netball Centre general manager Ani-Marie Waitai says they also deal with incidents on a weekly basis. She believes problems also come from a lack of knowledge of the rules by spectators. “We’ve had officials drop out be cause of it. “They do it because they love net ball. . . we could not run without

“The year 7-8 girls umpire. . .

When people have a crack at me, I say, ‘come and join us,’ and that normally shuts them up.” Despite the union having the best retention rate for referees in the country, 92 per cent, they have lost several volunteers over the years due to abuse. “It’s not just one game, it has a cu mulative “Ultimately,effect.these guys are ama teurs, and they’re volunteers, “ he says.

Highlighting St Bede’s woes, the game ended with Nelson College earning a penalty, for holding on with their backs against their try line, and were able to kick the ball dead to bring the final whistle.

The home side was in control for most of the game in front of a passionate crowd of supporters at Sports Park Motueka. Captain Nelesoni Malaulau opened the scoring with a wellrun line into space after winger Callum Robertson was pulled down just short of the line from a slick set-piece move to the blind side that created an overlap.

St Bede’s started well and took the lead with back-to-back tries, capitalising on Nelson College errors with kicks for the corner. This allowed them to use their big forwards to muscle the ball over the Nelsonline.

College had the ascen dency, however, with powerful running in close that created space and opportunities out wide. Nelesoni found himself in for his second try of the half, coming around the ruck and hitting the ball with pace, and aided by a shunt in the back by his forwards. A minute later, Callum, with space to work, used his pace to find the outside shoulder of his opposite to score in the corner and take a five-point lead into the
