“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.”

“I was introduced to Harri sons by a previous employer. I looked into it and the concept really appealed to me. I went out on the road with one of the other franchise owners and decided to take the next step.” With feet planted firmly in the region, Anita and her husband love everything that Nelson has to offer. “We are so lucky to be close to the sea, the mountains and the lakes, everything is on our back doorstep. What I en joy most as a business owner is meeting new customers each day and listening to what they would like to achieve with their renovation or new build and then helping them to choose the right products for their homes ,as well as advising them which window furnishings and fabrics will look amazing.”

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.

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.

SARA HOLLYMAN Planning is well underway for the Nelson Hospital upgrade, with Health Minister Andrew Little checking out concept plans for the redevelopment in Nelson on Friday. 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. “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.

Hospital rebuild on track

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.

Driver hit and kills pregnant sheep

Two major pipes, which allow water from Hart Creek to flow down from Hill St and under Pinecrest Drive in Richmond, are still blocked after the floods left them compacted with silt and gravel. A drainage tanker and digger have been on site ev ery day since the floods attempt ing to water blast the silt from inside the tunnels. A spokesper son says that it is a very slow job because the pipes are so tightly blocked. “We are using a drain age system to blast water at ex treme pressure at the mud and silt to break it down.”

News TRACY NEAL Open Justice Reporter Egged on by passengers in his ute, Cody Paton revved the engine and lined up a flock of frightened sheep before driving into one of them, killing it with the bull bars on the front of the vehicle before dumping its body in a blackberry Paton,bush. 24, was out drinking with mates in Wakefield, and driving his four-wheel-drive ute in the early hours of June 18. The ute was described by police as hav ing alloy bull bars on the front, and was fitted out with all-terrain Ontyres.Monday he admitted in the Nelson District Court a charge of cruelty to an animal, plus other charges of wilful damage, posses sion of firearms and ammunition without a licence. Paton had been driving down Eighty Eight Valley Road, when he drove into a council road sign at speed, sending it flying into a nearby paddock. He then carried on driving before coming to a paddock full of pregnant ewes, and drove through the closed gate, wrenching it off its hinges. Once in the paddock he revved the ute, performing skids and do nuts in the farmer’s paddock, rip ping up the grass and frightening the pregnant ewes to one end of the Patonpaddock.then drove towards the flock, which had formed together about 100 metres away, and said: “Run a sheep over, sorry it’s your time to die.” He then built up speed, and was driving at between 60 and 70 kph when he aimed at a ewe standing side-on. He hit the sheep, and then ran over it. Paton stopped, got out of the vehicle and put the dead ewe on the back tray of the Heute. then drove off and head ed to a party, where he and one of the passengers were asked to leave when people at the address learned what had happened. Paton left, and dumped the ewe in nearby blackberry bushes. Defence lawyer Mark Dollimore said while Restorative Justice might have been an option in the close-knit farming community, he did not think it would develop in this instance. He said Paton had offered to meet the farmer but he was “emotion ally annoyed” by what had hap Dollimorepened. said while Paton ac cepted what he had done was cruel, he was not a cruel person. He said there were four other young people in the vehicle who had not been charged, and who had been encouraging him to act in the way he did. Paton was described as a talent ed young mechanic who had come to the region from the Bay of Plenty, and was making good headway in his trade. Dollimore told the court the fire arms charges were linked to his owning a rifle and a shotgun, without a licence, because the “pigs would come to the front door” of his rural home. Judge David Ruth told Paton he accepted it was unusual be haviour, influenced by him being “worse the wear for drink”. He also noted Paton’s voluntary $200 donation to the SPCA, as well as his good “Everythingreferences.I’veread about you tells me this is not the real you.”

Tapawera man trapped A man was air lifted to Nelson Hospital at the weekend in a serious condition after falling down a bank and getting trapped by a two-tonne boulder for eight hours. A police spokesperson said the man was pinned down under the rock by his leg. He’d been looking over a bank when the boulder he was on fell from beneath him sending him over the edge and becoming trapped under the boulder. FENZ and St John were called to the property near Tadmore Valley Rd Bridge in Tapawera to free the man and provide medical attention.

Paton was ordered to pay a total of $2200 in fines and reparation, including $1500 reparation to the farmer for having killed the sheep, of which $900 was for the emotional harm caused. He was convicted and discharged for intentionally damaging the farm gate and fined $300 plus court costs for damaging the council road sign. Paton was also fined a total of $400 plus court costs on the fire arms charges, with an order they be destroyed, and was convicted and discharged for possession of ammunition.

They raised over $890 through sales, donations and raffle tickets.

Lexie says slips, road closures and long traffic delays meant they had to think of innovative solutions, share information and work shoulder to shoulder. The organisation phoned more than 2000 whānau known to the health services, to get ahead of any health needs that arose from the slips, flooding and evacuations.

The Brightwater crew were planning on taking part them selves, but after the challenge was delayed due to Covid-19, they decided to donate spon sorship money they had al ready raised to Robert. “I’m so grateful for that and I hope I did them all proud,” he Wearingsays. full firefighting kit weighing 25kg, Robert climbed 51 flights of stairs, to talling 1103 individual steps to the top of the 328-metre-tall “Ittower.went really well, but it’s a big commitment getting up to spec and I didn’t get in as much stair training as I would have liked, but I did as much as I could.” The climb to the top took him just over 16 minutes.

JO KENT An old dairy left to stand in a Wakefield paddock for nearly 200 years has made its way to Willow Bank Heritage Village to be re stored to its former glory. Guardian of Willow Bank, Chris tine Grieder, says it originally be longed to the Baigent family on their Pigeon Valley Rd farm. “I drove past one day and saw it standing there derelict, so I asked if we could have it to restore to keep it standing for another cen tury. They were going to demolish it anyway, so it was perfect tim Theing.” wooden dairy would have been used as a cold store for meats, eggs, milk and cheese.

Christine’s partner Scott Ander son is the man who transforms the neglected buildings she finds into works of art for the village. “She’s the ideas person and I bring things back to life,” he says. “It’s mind-blowing to think each nail that was used was crafted by hand. It would have taken forev er, but it’s the children who would have done that kind of job.” He says his favourite thing about the building is the little sliding window on the front, which pro vided access to everyday items. “It still works perfectly over 100 years later which really says some thing about the quality of con struction. They would have used virgin wood from the property to make it and because it’s so tightly packed, it’s much slower to rot.”

He says the dairy was up against the house. He says the dairy was removed from the main house in 1956 and used as a feed store in the paddock, where it remained ever since. “I remember it being over 100 years old when it was moved, so it’s lasted Conservationwell.”architect Ian Bow man, who was called in to help uncover the history of the dairy, says he used visual clues to date it. “You piece together information based of the forms of construc tion, such as the type of materials used and how it was made. Every thing from the corner construc tion, window joinery and how the nails were crafted help to date it to within a decade of when it was Oncemade.”Scott has got the shed up to spec, the plan is to repaint it in the original heritage colours.

The dairy will be on display at Willow Bank’s open day this Sun day 4 September, 10am to 3pm. “It’s the first time we’ve been open to the public for a while so we can show off all our new features.”

Evan Baigent, who lived on the homestead as a young boy in the 1950s, remembers it well. “I still remember the smell of the place, cured bacons and hams hanging inside. My mother used to skim milk in there during win ter and would turn it into butter or cream, but it was used as a cold store primarily.”

While there is an increase in the number of clients present ing with trauma, anxiety is still the main presentation, accord ing to Elise Nicholls. She says they are also seeing more people present with grief and loss. “It’s not just grief and loss from someone dying, but also loss of dreams and relationship Withbreakups.”the increase in people asking for counselling, there continues to be a shortage of mental health professionals available to meet the needs in the Elisecommunity.saysthey currently have a short waiting list but try and see clients as soon as possible.

The Top of the South’s very own post-apocalyptic ac tion thriller Northspur is set to premiere in Nelson this Directedweekend.

She says it was the little things people did to help that really made an impact.

Good sorts helping community after flood

JENNY NICHOLSON Locals from around the region have been showing their commu nity spirit in the wake of the dev asting flooding.

Dan Shallcrass

Daryl Hamilton from Master Va let Drycleaners and Apparelmas ter had a phone call last week that got him thinking.

“A 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 says. “She asked me how much it would cost?”

Marty posted on his Tasman Re gion Facebook page asking if any one in the region needed extra help to clear their property, or if anyone was keen to help. Pic Picot was looking forward to celebrating his 70th birthday with friends on Saturday 27 HeAugust.woke to news of road closures and Civil De fence asking people to stay off the roads if pos “Isible.had friends coming from out of town but realised we shouldn’t be bringing more peo ple into the area, and thought we better stay out of the motor car, so we cancelled the cele Instead,bration.” they had a smaller celebration at Peanut Butter World. Catering for the event at The Boathouse was fin ger food for 120 people. Pic do nated the food to Te Kotahi o Te Tauihu Charitable Trust who dis tributed it to frontline emergen cy staff and those who had been “Ievacuated.looked for a while to find someone to donate the food to,” Pic says. “The women at Te Kota hi o Te Tauihu were practical and Picamazing.”kepta little food for dinner, 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 neighbours. Six came over for dinner,” he says. “It was very special.” The Hira Store operated in a new way for a time during the floods. Instead of customers coming in to buy items, they popped in to pick up free food and milk. Hira Store owner/operator So theara Kim says they were run ning out of stock and couldn’t get out to get more. “A neighbour had the initiative and organised Civil Defence to bring a load in,” Sotheara says. “We posted on Facebook and lo cals came and helped themselves to what they needed.”

Long term volunteer Marty Price worked 11 to 12 hours each day for the first days of the flood and says the great thing about Nelson and Tasman is the way everybody bands together to help. As a community patroller he works to support the police, and as soon as he realised there was flooding contacted them to see where he could help. Initially he worked in the Nile and Tasman Street region. On the third day of the floods, Marty was directed to Rocks Road. He and police officer Jamie White from Wakefield went to one house needing to evacuate.

Sotheara says it was special for the staff because they know the “Welocals.see their faces all the time,” he says. “I’m all about helping Hepeople.”says people came and packed out the shop, stopping to chat to each other. He enjoyed standing back seeing everyone interacting.

Daryl took a red felt pen and made a sign to hang outside the shop offering free drycleaning for anyone whose house was

chael Hurst and the late Mar shall Napier, features perfor mances by local acting talents Gayle Hay, Locky Campion, Peter Coates, Nick Kemplen, Phil McArdle, Cameron West, and Donna Botha. They have managed to self-dis tribute the film to 44 cinemas across the country and it has been picked up by a major US film studio. The world premiere takes place in Blenheim on 1 September, with the Nelson premiere hap pening this Sunday, 4 Septem ber, at State Cinemas Nelson. It will then show to the public from 8 September.

“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 person’.”

Fresh and energetic approach

Members of the community showed their appreciation by delivering flowers to the store. Others who hadn’t needed sup plies called in after they finished cleaning up. “They came and said ‘thank you, we are glad you are here.’”

Northspur to premiere this weekend

Debriefing is a priority for Marty. Already he has met with a team. “After events like this, debriefing is massive to me,” he says. “Safety of my patrollers is important.”

HOME AND GARDEN GuideSPRING/SUMMER

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. Move your bed and air out your mat tress, making sure to rotate it when you pop it back on the bed. Sort the contents of your winter wardrobe into ‘keep’,

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.

Beat the winter blues and put a bit of spring back in your step! Spring is tentatively in the air and after all the weather we have had, now is as good a time as any to spruce up the home and garden and get ready to instill some sunshine into our lives! We have put together a few ‘getting ready for warmer weather’ ideas to usher in a new season and help to rejuvenate your home. Spring cleaning is a time-honoured way to banish winter blues and give your home a revamp. The trick is to set realistic goals, and don’t be shy to call in the professionals for a helping hand!

FOR ALL YOUR INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR WROUGHT IRON NEEDS ‘donate’, and ‘bin’ piles. Don’t be afraid to be ruthless and keep only what fits well and makes you feel great. When it comes to children’s rooms, sell, donate or recycle unused or outgrown toys and clothes and sort frequently-used items into baskets or tubs to keep the floor clear of clutter. Kitchen: Empty and clean the fridge, defrost the freez er and clean the pantry, discarding any expired foods and condiments. Wipe down all kitchen surfaces, cupboard doors, walls, ceilings and islands. Tidy kitchen drawers and WipeLivinginsideextractormicrowavepliances,Cleanbrokendiscardingcupboards,anyitems.theapovens,andfansandout.rooms:downheating units, clean the fireplace and consider having your carpets cleaned for a fresher feel. De clutter the shelving, wiping down as you go, and keep only what you re ally use and treasure. Dust the blinds, light fittings, ceiling fans and vents, wipe down picture frames, trims, clean doorknobs and light switches, and clear away any cobwebs. Wash soft furnishings, cushions, pillows and throws.

Wall WithoutInsulationRenovation

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.

Don’t wait until it’s too late, finish your insulation now and enjoy a cosy end to winter, with the benefit of a cooler sum mer!! Insulated homes are warmer, drier, and healthier, but historically homeown ers and property investors have put wall insulation in the ‘too hard’ basket, believ ing it to be too difficult or expensive, es pecially with traditional insulation instal lation being messy and time-consuming. Enter Insulmax, a dry, water repellent, mineral fibre which is installed via a hole the size of a ten-cent piece.

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.

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.

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

Evey McAuliffe supports a large former refu gee family that arrived in Nelson in December 2021. She had gifted the father a bike, and he indicated he would like a ‘kiddy seat’ for the youngest child. “I contacted Bike Hub Nelson and they had someone come to look at the bike,” Evey says. “When they returned with a bike seat, the fa ther was delighted to meet another man.”

Back at Brightwater Playcen tre, she says there is a group of unmarked graves which have piqued her interest.

JO KENT When a descendant of the Arnold family, who were early settlers in Spring Grove, stumbled across an old survey map of Brightwater and surrounds from the 1860s, she never imagined just how much it would change her life. Sarah Arnold, who works as a business support coordinator for NMIT, says the stories she un covered while researching the map have set her on her own epic “Whenjourney.I replicated the 1860s sur vey map on an old piece of tent canvas for an art project, I discov ered so many fascinating stories that I just knew they had to come out of hiding and be told, so that’s how I came up with this idea.” She plans to use QR codes placed in significant places which can be scanned to reveal the hidden his tory behind them. “I’ve called the project ‘Post Memory’ as the QR codes will be on posts dotted around the region, wherever there is a story to Eventell.”better, she says, is she will also incorporate augmented real ity (AR) into the concept where users will be able to scan the code and watch history come to life.

“That’s the type of thing I want to shine a light on to those now living locally and visitors to the Thearea.”first QR code is planned for the Spring Grove Drill Hall as that used to be the main hub in the area. “It was where everything hap pened in the 1800s, the school, the Sunday school and the meet ings for the library.

“I’m really interested in the peo ple who are buried in the grounds as there are grave mounds there but no headstones, which is part of my idea of wanting to get the histories out there and in front of people before things are forgot ten. One of my relatives is actu ally buried there. A five-year-old boy who died of diphtheria.” She’s hoping descendants of those buried may come forward as she has names for some of the graves, but not all, and hopes she may be able to put a memorial in place for “Tasmanthem.

“The most exciting thing for me is that I’ve got funding to go to TVNZ to get footage of the first WOW show at the William Higgins Gallery, which is the cob house just by Arnold Lanenamed after my ancestors.”

Library are also look ing into archives for me as there is a piece of paper referenced in Marion Stringer’s book Just an other Row of Spuds, which is the burial record signed by Constable Knapp, a well-known figure out here in the 1800s. So it’s around but we don’t know where it is.” And it’s not just public history which will be part of the project, Sarah welcomes any photos or anecdotal stories from families in the area who would like their tales brought back to life.

It’s thought it could be the oldest cob house in New Zealand as it was built in 1845 and is of great architectural significance.

“It really is a community-in volved project as it’s private fam ily histories which often die out with new generations, so if I can help to preserve some of them, the project will be even more Ifvaluable.”you’dlike to get involved either with collating the history or sub mitting photos and stories, email Sarah at saraharnolddesign@ gmail.com

The school, which is now the Brightwater Playcentre, is the fourth building. The first one came out on a sled pulled by a team of 14 goats from St Vincent Street in 1845. It was brought in in sections and they had to cross the Brightwater river as there was no bridge. It’s stories like that which need retelling.” She says she’s also planning to place codes along the Great Taste Trail as it’s an existing network with a lot of stories waiting to be “You’vetold. got Spooner’s Tunnel and out to Tapawera but, ultimately, the posts will be wherever the stories are, all over Tasman.”

“Ifnight.it’s a rainy day, I’ll have a go, but if not I’ll just sit next to the fire in front of the TV in the evenings until it’s done.”

JO KENT When Nikki Pritchard read about Eden Hosie’s quest to find someone to spin her llama wool in the Waimea Weekly, she knew she could help. “I’ve been spinning since I was a child as I learnt from my mother when we lived in Springs Junction on a farm,” she “Backsays.in those days, you used the wool from your own sheep to make jumpers and blankets, and we’d make our own bread and that type of thing. It’s just what you did.” Eden collected two large bags of wool on her weekly visits to Fossil Creek farm and has be come quite attached to them. “Eden knows wool can be spun and turned into things so she suggested making a blan ket out of it, which my moth er-in-law Teressa has offered to make,” says mum Aleisha. Nikki uses a wooden spinner which she’s owned for several “I’veyears. never spun llama wool and it’s way more tricky and time-consuming than sheep’s wool, so I may have to share out the other bag with some one else as it will take me for Comparedever.” to sheep’s wool, lla ma fibre is lighter and warmer and has no oil, so doesn’t need to be washed before process ing. But hand-spinners who are used to using sheep’s wool will generally find pure llama wool tricky to adapt to at first. “It’s not quite as straight for ward as I initially thought as it tends to snap, so I have to reat tach it to the bobbin and start again,” Nikki says. “It’s so much harder than sheep’s wool.” She predicts it will take a few weeks to complete around six large bobbins of wool if she does a couple of hours each

Each week, Peter Fitzwater delivers more than 1000 copies of the Waimea Weekly across Richmond on his trusty scooter.

Hubert Oscar Washbourn, a ded icated doctor and a man great ly esteemed by the community, died at the young age of 40 years after contracting pneumonia. The outpouring of grief from the community paid tribute to the stature of the man and the respect that was due to him. Hubert was born in 1886, the youngest son of Henry and Clara Washbourn of Port Nelson. The family roots laid deep in Nelson soil with his grandfather, William Everly Washbourn, emigrating to the Nelson province in 1851. He was educated at Nelson Col lege and on leaving school took up a position on the staff of the Bank of New Zealand in Nelson City. After a short time in this job Hubert decided to take up stud ies for a medical degree at Edin burgh University.

The calls for support and medical attention saw him often travelling lengthy distances at all times of the day and night, sometimes in the worst weather, with bad roads and swollen streams to contend with.Inearly July 1927 the still young doctor became ill. Being devot ed 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 ill ness. Doctor Hubert Washbourn lost his battle with pneumonia, dying 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. Upper Queen Street and the Main Road were crowded with a double line of vehicles extending from Washbourn’s residence in Oxford Street, across Queen Street and down the road for a considerable distance. In the months following his death the residents of Rich mond looked for an appropriate memorial. On the 17th of No vember 1928 the unveiling of the Washbourn Memorial Gates at Richmond Park took place.

Peter’s bold paper run

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

JO KENT Peter Fitzwater isn’t your usu al Waimea Weekly newspaper deliverer - he’s 74 and does his route on a bright yellow scoot “Ier. deliver over 1000 copies each week and I think I’m the only deliverer who uses a scooter on their round.” His Wednesday starts by tak ing delivery of 1080 copies of the Waimea Weekly, which he then spends four hours fold “Mying. wife Janice helps me to fold them and between us it takes a full four hours. Then I load them on to my bike and away I go.” The highlight of his round is a little terrier dog who now recognises the sound of Peter’s engine when he turns into the “Hestreet.comes running down to the mailbox to collect the pa per and then carries it in his mouth all the way back up to the house,” he says. “That’s my favourite part of the whole day.”

Other things he looks forward to as he does his shift is a lit tle chocolate which one lady leaves in her mailbox for him. “I’ve got so many papers to de liver that everything like that keeps me going.” His patch includes Wensley Road, Hunter Avenue and Hill Street and many of the streets in between. “I often stand in for other de liverers when they can’t make their shift, so I can end up with even more papers to deliver too. It keeps me young.” To thank Peter for his efforts, he got a Sal’s Pizza vouch er and is our Deliverer of the IfMonth.you would like to nomi nate your local deliverer sara@topsouthmedia.co.nzemail

The premier league continues this Thursday. For a full game report see the Nelson App.

JACK MALCOLM After scoring four points in the first quarter, Prices Waimea Pan go came from behind to beat Nel son Girls College senior A 44-43 on Thursday. In other games of NBS premier netball, a slow starting Prices Waimea Ahurei beat Richmond F45 53-30, and FCL Nelson Men, who are away at a tournament, beat Jacks OPD 54-28 in a game played last week. Having trailed by 13 points at the first break, with only four on the board, Prices Waimea Pango had their backs against the wall early. Nelson Girls College Coach Lyn Fleming says they said to expect them to come back because they did last time at the break. With their winter tournament next week in Timaru, they had suffered from a disrupted buildup and had to play the team that will be travelling to play. “We’ve got some new players. . .

Waimea Pango Diane Wells says the message they gave the girls at the break was to put on the pressure and make their “Thatshots. was so good. The girls worked so hard.” By halftime, they had shrunk the lead to six points, trailing 25-19, and going into the final quarter, they were neck and neck and be hind by just one. The final quarter saw them put the first points on the board to even the score before NCG fought back with a quick goal be fore a turnover and another suc cessful possession to take a threepoint Undeterred,lead. Prices Waimea Pan go kept plugging away at their jobs and started to find success down the stretch. Massive turnovers by the defence provided a springboard to retake the lead and start putting time pressure on the school-girl team.

Nelson Netball Centre gener al manager Ani-Marie Waitai says they also deal with inci dents on a weekly basis. She believes problems also come from a lack of knowl edge of the rules by spectators. “We’ve had officials drop out because of it. “They do it because they love netball. . . we could not run without them.”

The sentiment that referees are expected to have perfect per formances was shared across the codes and their represen tatives throughout Nelson.

While many referees, umpires and officials say having a thick skin is essential for the job, they say the culture of abuse has gone too far. Codes across the region are grappling with how they can improve the situation, which has caused some volunteers to hang up their whistles for good, and they have a message - enough is enough.

Despite the union having the best retention rate for refer ees in the country, 92 per cent, they have lost several volun teers over the years due to “It’sabuse.not just one game, it has a cumulative “Ultimately,effect.these guys are am ateurs, and they’re volunteers. Without these people running around with a whistle, these games don’t happen.”

For volunteer referee Frances Tilly, she’s decided it’s no lon ger worth it after an incident involving a player at a recent basketball game. “This has to stop.

Tasman Rugby’s referee de velopment manager Dave Pa terson says he sees abuse as threats of violence and swear Theying. have had two reported instances of abuse this year, but he says that’s not the full picture of sideline behaviour. While most people aren’t a problem, once the referee is perceived to make a mistake, “they’re fair game”. “It’s interesting. When people have a crack at me, I say, ‘come and join us,’ and that normally shuts them up.”

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