MP’s in agreement over hospital rebuild Jenny Nicholson Reporter
jenny@waimeaweekly.co.nz
National’s Nick Smith welcomes the government’s announcement that Nelson’s hospital rebuild will begin before the end of this term of parliament. “It’s critical that we meet the timetable that I set as Building Minister to make the hospital
earthquake-proof, and earthquake-prone hospitals be upgraded by 2028,” says Nick. He says 2028 sounds a long way away but the rebuild is a massive project with a budget of over $700 million. “That will require years to plan, design and construct,” he says. It is a legal requirement that seismic work is carried out on the hospital by 2028.
In 2020 the Government looked at New Zealand hospitals and the George Manson block in Nelson was in the worst condition of any hospital building. “We know there needs to be a replacement building sooner rather than later, so we’re onto it,” says Health Minister Andrew Little. While the build has been costed at about $713 million, Little said it had been sent back for revision.
“That’s a little bit beyond what was expected,” says Little. “I think what we are saying is, let’s look at actual need and bearing in mind too that our health system is a network so not every hospital has to have absolutely everything. But look, we are committed to a rebuild for the Nelson Hospital.” The option of a rebuilt hospital being relocated in Richmond has not been favoured by the govern-
ment. Nick Smith says that the rebuild will be Nelson’s largest ever infrastructure project and it is important it is done well to ensure the facility will meet the region’s health needs for the next half century. “I will be continuing to put constructive pressure on the government and health board to ensure the timetable is met,” says Nick.
The new NPD Refresh service station celebrated it’s opening in style last Friday with ‘Gas n Gander’ a big part of the all-day event with over 100 rare, interesting and colourful cars being showcased by proud owners.

I think it’s wonderful. This is where my roots are and I couldn’t be prouder of the place.
I moved here for the sunshine from South Otago and it hasn’t let me down yet!
It’s the best place on the South Island, sunny or not, but that does help.
I’m so happy! We found Tauranga far too windy and moved back here for the sunshine after just two years.

Water restrictions have begun Jacqui Rawson Reporter
jacqui@waimeaweekly.co.nz
There was an unseasonal amount of rainfall late last year, but it wasn’t enough to help this period which is officially called the ‘peak water usage period’. The impacts of not nearly enough rain mean water restrictions have kicked in, in some areas in the Tasman region, from the 1st of February. “The Waimea catchment had its last best rainfall in December,” says Tasman District Council’s senior resource scientist, Joseph Thomas. January and February are traditionally the hot, dry, and windy weather months when water use increases for individuals and commercially. In particular, for things like irrigation on the
Waimea Plains. Joseph says that currently the soil moisture deficiency is high in the plains because for the last three to four weeks there’s been a lack of rain. A lack of the really good rain that is enough to wet through the soil. Joseph says the drizzling rain isn’t enough to soak into the type of soil in certain areas in the region. November’s rainfall was double the average amount in the area, but the year’s total rainfall was well below average. Additionally. some of that rainfall was more focused on specific areas with the Waimea catchment not being as lucky as some. The Waimea aquifers which sit under the Waimea Plains respond to rainfall but require sustained rain over a longer period to retain their storage levels. This means levels are likely to drop away

again when the rain stops. For now, the water restrictions for Richmond, Hope, Brightwater, Redwood Valley, and Wakefield that went into force on February 1st, apply to individuals, businesses, and public organisations. Watering grass and lawns and filling up swimming pools are not permitted. Topping up of a pool is okay, as is using a hand-held hose to water plants and veggie gardens and to wash buildings and cars. There is a Tasman District’s Dry Weather Taskforce that exists to assess the water situation and from there decide on what restrictions need to be applied. They had their first meeting for the summer on Tuesday 26 January and will be holding meetings over the coming months. TDC encourages everyone to always use water wisely.

Government funding friendship in Tapawera Jenny Nicholson Reporter
jenny@waimeaweekly.co.nz
Tamara Eggers is part of a mother’s group in Tapawera that was started by a Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) funded trust. The Tapawera Connect Trust, set up using part of the $20,000 received from MPI’s Rural Community Hubs programme, identified a need for mothers in the community to connect. “I didn’t know many people at all before the group. It has made a huge difference,” says Tamara. Tamara has lived in Tapawera for a year, and has a six-
month-old baby, Jordan. She says she has made great friends at the group and finds one of the benefits is they can share experiences of motherhood. “It can be difficult for new mothers living in rural communities. Their partners are often on-farm all day, or working long hours as contractors, and this can leave mums feeling isolated,” says MPI’s director of Rural Communities and Farming Support, Nick Story. He says supporting the wellbeing of people in rural areas is vital if employers are to find, attract and retain staff. Tapawera Community Trust coordinator Phoebe Quinlivan says the mothers’ group has made a real difference for many women.
“None of these women were connected before joining the group. Now they have an additional safety net of support around them, should they need it, as well as other mums to run things past as they navigate the various ups and downs of motherhood,” says Phoebe. Phoebe says that adult interaction is important for the mental well-being of mothers with babies and toddlers. Following the success of the mothers’ group, the Tapawera Connect Trust is working hard to identify other needs in the community. The group meets once a week on a Friday, during the school term.

St John Ambulance call-outs showing changes Jenny Nicholson Reporter
jenny@waimeaweekly.co.nz
Statistics released by St John show several changes in ambulance calls. There has been an increase in people not calling an ambulance directly, but rather being referred by other health professionals, with 17.44 percent of all ambulance calls coming from general practitioners in 2020. “More people are going to the doctor or calling Healthline rather than calling an ambulance. Some worry that if they go to hospital they might not come home and that is frightening to them. But maybe what is troubling them can be fixed and we can help them get it sorted,” says local St John paramedic Jackie Krammer. Jackie says ambulance staff are making a lot more decisions around pathways of care. Along with referring patients to their doctor or to the mental health crisis team, the paramedics can, in some circumstances, provide coupons to pay for a taxi fare. They can also arrange payment for a patient to visit an afterhours clinic where that is indicated rather than taking them to the emergency department. “I find it satisfying spending time

Photo: Jenny Nicholson. with the patient and finding the best pathway rather than the three P’s; picking them up, putting them in the ambulance and proceeding to hospital,” says paramedic Sandra Kerse. “It’s nice to take the time when it’s not acute or an emergency to let the patient lock the door and feed the cat,” says Jackie Krammer. Ambulance calls in the Tasman
region related to mental health and suicide attempts increased from 308 in 2019 to 370 in 2020. There were 1768 calls related to chest pain, up from 1663 the previous year. However, calls to unconscious patients and those with breathing problems decreased. Tasman had a total of 19,124 calls, down slightly from 2019’s 19,169 calls. Nationally there were about
550,000 emergency calls and 97 percent of those were answered within 15 seconds. “Despite the slight decrease in the number of ambulance call-outs in April, the total number of 111 calls received nationally during 2020 was similar to 2019,” says St Johns Communications Advisor Ngaire Jones. She says that, nationally, Decem-
ber 2020 was the busiest December yet with over 1,100 incidents a day, and the escalation is continuing into 2021. Ngaire says that with Covid-19, the extra precautions needed to keep both ambulance officers and patients safe, the increase in traffic congestion and lower speed limits have all meant the total length of time each call out takes continues to get longer. In urban areas, the expectation is that and ambulance crew would arrive at a code purple call, those calls being where there is cardiac or respiratory arrest, within 8 minutes. While nationally there was an increase in calls related to traffic crashes, and assault and rape, both decreased in the Tasman region. Calls related to stabbing and gunshot wounds, and animal bites and attacks were up both nationally and in Tasman. “2021 will see the completion of St John’s four-year project to double crew all transporting ambulances, and in 2020 nearly 99 percent of transporting ambulances were fully crewed,” says St John Ambulance Operations Deputy Chief Executive, Dan Ohs. Dan says having two crew improves safety for the officers and also means that all patients receive expert clinical care while being transported to hospital.

Wasps make homes in plant guards Jacqui Rawson Roger Jones has been discovering paper wasp nests inside the plastic plant guards used to help protect newly-planted trees. “The wasps seem to enjoy the shelter from the wind and warmth as much as the new plants do,” says Roger. Roger has eradicated around 200 nests near his home in Richmond and locations near the Waimea estuary over the last few months. There are two types of the plant guards, plastic and cardboard, and Roger says the wasps don’t seem to like the cardboard ones as much as the plastic ones. The purpose of the plant guards is to protect fledgeling plants from things like chemical spray, rabbits, and guard them against the inquisitive pukeko who like to pull plants out of the ground for the fun of it. It’s the Council and various community groups and projects that are taking care of the trees and shrubs by putting the plant guards around them in the Nelson Tasman region. Battle for the Banded Rail is one such project that has planted around 15,000 new trees and shrubs over the last year to help restore nat-

Battle for the Banded Rail project manager, Kathyrn Brownlie, says she too has noticed paper wasps building their nests in the guards. “I feel the benefits of having the plant guards outways the impacts caused by wasps using them as homes,” says Kathryn. Kathryn says they are helping out where they can to eradicate wasps by taking fly spray out with them whenever they head out for maintenance of the areas they’ve planted.
Roger says he would like to see the plant guards removed when they’re no longer needed because he’s seen the guards that have been blown away into the estuary. The guards are generally kept in place for up to three years and it is part of the process that the guards are also collected. EmGuard is an environmentally-friendly biodegradable cardboard plant guards which were designed in Nelson. They’re a benefit according

to Roger because the wasps don’t like them. But being biodegradable is an additional benefit in case they happen to blow away or are inadvertently left behind as part of the collection process. Although the cardboard guards tend to be more expensive, Kathryn says her project has committed to their use. Wasps are prolific breeders and consumers of both insects and nectar, and they tend to wreak havoc on the natural environment.
The slip road pictured is part of the implementations put in place by the Tasman District Council in response to the roadworks happening at the Champion Road and Salisbury Road roundabout. It’s been set up to help customers continue to shop and support the businesses in this area that are being impacted by the roadworks. The slip road runs off the Richmond deviation just past the large roundabout where Whakatu Drive meets the Richmond Deviation. It’s on the left when heading towards Richmond from Nelson. You cannot use this slip road if travelling in the reverse direction, from Richmond to Nelson. The Whakatu Drive/Richmond Deviation roundabout is the intersection where you would normally turn off to reach the businesses that surround Raeward’s Fresh. But it is not currently effective for that purpose. Coming from Richmond you’ll need to use Salisbury Road and take a sharp left after the Champion Road roundabout just past the verge of what used to be the roundabout. This left turn replaces the left turn you could previously take, before the roadworks, as you entered the roundabout. The Tasman District Council along with Fulton Hogan are trying to make the disruptions caused by the roadworks as minimal as possible with things like the slip road. With the outcome of the upgrade set to bring benefits to the community, TDC encourages everyone to be understanding and to continue to support the local businesses.

German student choosing to stay in New Zealand Jenny Nicholson Reporter
jenny@waimeaweekly.co.nz
While the other German exchange students in Richmond flew home, Zoe Blau made the decision to finish her schooling at Garin College. Zoe arrived in July 2019 for a year, but during lockdown her parents raised the question of whether she would prefer to stay in New Zealand for the next few years. “Seeing the attitudes of students here and looking at Germany from a distance made me look at things differently. There is stress for students here, but personally for me there is less stress going to school here,” says Zoe. Having made the decision to stay, Zoe is now very thankful. “My friends are in their final year and are stressed with coronavirus. They have to go to school
and wear masks all the time and my region is second worst for the virus in Germany,” she says. Zoe thinks the blend of German and Kiwi schooling has been good for her. She says she learned to work hard in Germany and still wants to make her parents proud with good grades. Despite having to pick up three new subjects in May, when she made the decision to stay in New Zealand, she passed NCEA level two and achieved ‘endorsed with excellence’. “I selected my subjects when I was coming to New Zealand and I just wanted to have fun. I did cooking and outdoor education. But I needed different subjects to be eligible for University in Germany so had to pick up biology, history, and English,” she says. Zoe was nervous about the transition from just having fun to having to work hard, but said it was easier than she thought.
Out of school, Zoe has loved seeing New Zealand. She says her friends in Germany said they were envious of life in New Zealand when she posted being in Hagley Park in a crowd of thousands on New Year’s Eve. She has toured the South Island and enjoyed outings put on by Garin College’s inernational department over the summer. The hardest part of being away from home for two and a half years is missing her family and knowing that when she does return to Germany she may never live at home again, as she will possibly go straight to University. There are 8201 international students in schools in New Zealand this year. Waimea College has 20 international students, including one student from Germany. This is down from around 75 in previous years. Garin College has 14 international students, Zoe being the only European.

Rural woman fight to keep cheques Jenny Nicholson With a lot of retirees in the Lake Rotoiti Village there is concern for them over cheques being phased out. “It’s really sad. I feel for people who have blocked it out that cheques will be phased out, and now it has come to the stage they have to do something about it,” says president of Rural Women St Arnaud, Marg Anderson. There is no bank in the area, so accounts are paid online, at a bank in town or directly to the place concerned. While Marg is happy using internet banking, she said many in the village still use cheques. Marg said some of the community still travel to Richmond on the
20th of each month to pay their accounts. This is left over from the time when all accounts were due to be settled on the 20th. Nicky Shaw, secretary of Rural Women St Arnaud, says that a lot of elderly people are struggling and that it’s incredibly scary for them. “It’s a massive deal for a lot of people. They don’t trust the internet and online banking,” says Nicky. On checking her bank statement a while back, she saw someone had mistakenly put money into her account. The person who had made the error also noticed but not within the first 24 hours, so was unable to do anything about it. Nicky paid him back but says it shows that errors do happen with
online banking. Rural Women NZ surveyed people living in rural communities and 61.3 percent of the respondents said they were concerned about the disappearance of cheques with 80 percent of respondents paying their monthly bills by cheque. Of those using cheques, 75.2 percent said they posted them to pay their accounts. The response to this survey was the highest they have had in three years, indicating it is a real issue for rural communities. For some rural areas, internet coverage is patchy. While coverage in Lake Rotoiti’s township is adequate, 5 km out of town it can be more variable. This makes paying by internet banking more
problematic. However, erratic internet is only part of the equation. “Cheques are a lifeline for those people who just aren’t internet savvy or who were too old to learn how to do it,” says Rural Women’s South Island board member, Sharron Davie-Martin. She says it’s incredibly scary for some. Sharron said Rural Women NZ had drafted a letter that they intended to send to a number of ministers expressing their concern with the situation. ‘We believe that this movement to a cheque-less New Zealand has come too soon for many,’ the letter states. Having no cheques would likely mean rural people, particularly
seniors, would be drawing more cash out to cover things like groceries and prescription medications that arrived via rural post. “It’s hard. Many feel unsafe having a lot of cash in their wallets or houses. There isn’t even an Eftpos machine at the Lake,” says Marg Anderson. Kiwibank stopped accepting cheques in February 2020, with Inland Revenue and ACC following in March. BNZ, ANZ and Westpac have said they intend to phase cheques out this year. Sharron Davie-Martin says Rural Women’s campaign was a fight to have even one bank that kept taking cheques until they naturally phased themselves out. The BNZ was asked for a comment but has not responded.
Nelson Matters Nelson’s housing problems got much worse last year. House prices locally soared by 20% or $100,000 to a new median of $720,000. Rents increased at record rates and much faster than wages. Social housing waiting lists have quadrupled since 2017. I am being inundated with Nelsonians unable to find a home, struggling to pay rent and frustrated at the lack of help from Labour and agen-
cies like MSD and HousingNZ. The Government has added fuel to the hot housing market by providing billions of dollars of cheap credit to banks at 0.25% interest. Its core housing policies have failed because they are based on 3 myths. Kiwibuild promised 100,000 homes nationally and 1,000 locally on the myth that the Government could build
houses faster and at less cost than housing companies. Only 700 have been delivered nationally and none locally. Labour blamed increased house prices on foreign buyers, using the Chinese as scapegoats despite data showing these numbers were negligible. Their ban on foreign buyers has made no difference. Labour has also peddled a myth that state house sales
made the problem much worse. It promised in 2017 to end such sales but has subsequently sold 146 state houses including several in Nelson. Such sales can make sense. As Housing Minister I sold 16 in Orchard St, Stoke, to enable our Nelson/Tasman Housing Trust to build six new homes for people in need. Labour pretends spending $20 million on buying the Nelson City Council’s 142 flats is a
solution, when it just changes the landlord. The solution is growing total housing and all types. National is ready and willing to assist on the real solutions like freeing up land, enabling more apartments, training more tradies and providing more support for first home buyers and social housing. Parliament needs to act urgently and work together. Advert.

MP for Nelson
I thought it would be timely to remind people of the steps we all need to take to protect ourselves and our communities from COVID-19. Make sure you scan in using the COVID-19 app and turn your Bluetooth function on. If you aren’t able to access the app, keep a detailed diary of where you go, when, and who you’re with. Wash your hands thoroughly, stay at home when sick and get a COVID test as well. Remember to wear a mask on public transport and on flights. This week I’m up in Waitangi with our Labour Caucus to attend Waitangi celebrations. This is my first visit to Waitangi as your MP, and it’s a real privilege to be able to participate in such a special event. I’ll be back in Nelson for Waitangi Day on Saturday, kicking the day off at the Nelson Markets. Later in the day I’ll be attending a concert at the Nelson Centre of Musical Arts as part of the Adam Chamber Music Festival. I hope you all have a great week, and a fantastic Waitangi Day and weekend. Remember to keep scanning in, wash your hands, and stay home when sick.

A lot of thought goes into choosing a baby’s name, and a lot are also considered by the Registrar-General of Births, Deaths and Marriages in making the decision to decline some. Of the nearly 60,000 babies born in 2020, Isla was the number one girls’ name while Oliver continued as top baby boys’ name for the eighth consecutive year. Isla debuted on the top 100 list in 2004. Of the 44 names vetoed, royal names featured highly, topped by Princess and King. “Guidelines make sure names don’t cause offence, are a reasonable length, and don’t unjustifiably resemble an official title or rank,” says registrar Jeff Montgomery. When Scottish born Andrew Hayes suggested they call their baby Angus, his wife Hadassah quickly vetoed the idea. “Andy always liked the name Angus, it’s a traditional and rather popular Scottish name but being from America all I could think of was Angus

From a shortlist of Pascal, Quinton, Vance-Hemi and Fraya, they chose VanceHemi. In considering a name they wanted to acknowledge his heritage, where he was born and God’s faithfulness
through what has been a difficult time for them. Vance is Gaelic, covering his Scottish heritage, and they chose Hemi as a Maori name that translates as God is faithful. The top Maori names in 2020 were Mia and Nikau. Both have topped the list for several years. Taylor and Darcy were pop-
ular for both boys and girls, with a 51/49 split. Charlotte had previously been the most popular girls name and still placed second on the list. Amelia, Olivia, Willow, Harper, Ava, Lily, Sophie and Ella rounded out the top ten girls’ names.

aging her debt. Olivia says that once CAP was involved creditors were more understanding. She no longer had to deal directly with creditors and having a recognised organisation involved meant those she owed money to were more open to payment schedules that fitted her budget. “Before CAP I had debt and all the money I was putting toward it was interest. Once you get behind it’s hard to catch up, it just escalates,” she says. For around a year CAP worked with Olivia and since that time she has been debtfree with no credit cards and living within her means. “People can be scared to ask for help but they were so supportive. I just needed someone to guide me and set up good saving practices,” she says. Dave Harris from CAP says that they usually work with clients for three to five years, although it varies on a caseby-case basis. He says people from all ages and back-

Errors afoot in Washbourn Gardens Jacqui Rawson Reporter
Free breakfast for Richmond cyclists
jacqui@waimeaweekly.co.nz
It was a perfect night in Washbourn Gardens last week for it to turn into a stage for Shakespeare’s play, A Comedy of Errors. The event was one of several performances of the play over January in open-air settings throughout Nelson Tasman. “A lot of people can be scared of it, especially if you’re not a theatre goer, you might think it’s not your thing,” say play director Giles Burton. With the play presented in this way he hopes it encourages people to try Shakespeare out and hopefully discover something new to enjoy. “It’s much better to come and watch it in a park with a picnic than read it in year 12 English,” says the play’s producer, Kim Bailey. The organisers want to make Shakespeare accessible to everyone in the community and that’s why the event has a “pay what you decide” arrangement. The audience pays at the end of the show what they can afford or what they feel equates to the value of their experience. Nel-

Sad loss of local storyteller
Michael Spitzmesser viewing A Comedy of Errors from on high. Photo: Jacqui Rawson. son Summer Shakespeare is the organisation behind the plays which include professional actors and accompanying music. This is the fourth year that the organisation has held events like this one under the directorship of Giles Burton. For the first time this year the cast have also performed in Motueka
and Blenheim, which incorporates a whole additional lot of planning and logistics. They’d like to include Golden Bay in future and with that in mind Giles is already thinking ahead for next year’s play. It’s not only logistics that cause Giles to start working on the plays a year in advance.
“There has to be some chopping down and readjusting for a Shakespeare play,” says Giles. The casts for Shakespeare’s plays can consist of up to 20 people which is too many for this type of production. This means removing parts of the script and readjusting the parts of the script that remain.
On November 25th the Waimea Weekly ran a history article, ‘A personal history of love and war’ about a local man named Clarrie Maskill. As a reporter it was a joy to interview him, in part because of his cheeky sense of humour but also because he had led an interesting life full of adventurous stories that he happily shared with me and our readers. Clarrie passed away peacefully on Saturday the 16th January at Oakwoods Retirement Village.

Early development of Foxhill area Mike Whithall By 1844 the clearance of totara, kahikatea and beech trees was underway on the land south of Wakefield as the area opened up for settlers. Gradually the settlements of Wai-iti, Foxhill and Belgrove evolved and the area became popular for growing hops. By 1861 the number of settlers warranted the building of a school, which had 17 pupils enrolled once opened. The schoolhouse was later converted into the Rutherford Memorial Hall which is still there today. Across the road was a general store and a short distance to the south the largest sawmill in the area. The sawmill

Although the area wasn’t good for grazing it was good for growing hops. There were four families recorded as doing well in hop production. The Hooper family grew hops
and also had a brewery and malt house called Hooper and Co, in 1843. Holland, Groves and Lines were other families growing hops which were used in local breweries and supplied to the two local hotels, the Foxhill and Belgrove. It was the development of this area that drew

the Rutherford family. Ernest’s grandfather, George, a wheelwright, emigrated from Dundee to Nelson in 1842. He had a son named James who worked with him as a wheelwright and who later become Ernest’s father. In 1866 James married Martha Thompson, a teacher at Spring Grove School. Their home was built on the site where the Rutherford Memorial now stands. James and Martha Rutherford bought a 20-acre block of land, directly opposite the school and later purchased a further 15 acres around the southern and western sides of the school. Nine of James and Martha’s children attended the school and the headmaster at the time, Mr Harry Ladley, immediately

recognised hidden potential in his Rutherford students. James transfered to harvesting timber for bridge props and sleepers for use on the next section of railway. Over the road from the Ernest Rutherford memorial is a building called ‘Naumai’. This is the original home of the Newman family. The Newman’s coaches travelled south from Wakefield and the area was full of optimism for a railway line to the West Coast. Gaukrodgers Hotel at Foxhill opened in 1873 in anticipation and, sure enough, in 1876 the railway line was opened to Foxhill Station. Today this site is marked by a line of trees on the flat area at the rear of the hotel.

Just a thought... Sean Young Youth Pastor, Grace Church “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20) When Jesus gave these words to his followers around AD 33, he was directing them to take the good news of salvation to every
nation on earth; a message with the ability to bring peace and unity to humanity. On Christmas Day 1814, in the Bay of Islands, the Anglican Bishop Samuel Marsden preached the first Christian sermon on New Zealand soil to a congregation of Māori and Europeans. His message - the story of Christmas, of a child born who would later give his life as a ransom to save humanity. On this day, Jesus’ instruction to take the gospel to the ends of the earth was fulfilled. Sometimes it is hard to reconcile a gospel of grace and peace
with some of the events that occur around New Zealand and the world. There have been many things done “in the name of Jesus” that do not reflect the message of the gospel or the person of Jesus Christ. This is an ongoing challenge for those of us who identify as Christian. However, we cannot allow this to distract us from the true meaning of the gospel, which brings unity and salvation
to all who believe. All men and women, from all nations, united in peace under the gospel of Jesus. That is the true message of Christianity. As we consider Waitangi Day, may we seek to be a country where every occupant is valued and cherished. Where people, regardless of ethnicity or gender, see themselves as one people. One nation, built upon a common care and compassion, love
and commitment to one another. At the heart of Te Tiriti o Waitangi (The Treaty of Waitangi), I see people from different backgrounds coming together to form a starting block for a nation of unity, with a desire to further that unity as the nation grows. The same heart of unity central to Te Tiriti o Waitangi is also central to the gospel – to see a people develop in unity, grace, and compassion. This unity is not easily established. It takes patience, trust, and endeavour. It takes all of us.
Size is important when it comes to refuelling Jacqui Rawson The size of NPD’s new complex which houses NPD Refresh Café along with the huge petrol forecourt indicate NPD’s intentions to cater to customer’s needs that go way beyond just petrol. The new NPD Refresh Café site on Lower Queen Street also has a café restaurant that can seat up to
30 people. “The Lower Queen St site is all about providing a better experience for our customers, with our quality food and coffee offering from the NPD Refresh Café, convenience store, and large and spacious forecourt,” says Finance Manager Ian Young. The forecourt has 16 petrol pumps which have an outside
payment terminal for payment by credit, debit or NPD card after hours, which means between 11 pm and 5 am. The site also has four different grades of fuel, diesel, 95 premium petrol, 91 unleaded and 100 plus high octane which is performance petrol for any car set up for premium. Ian says the big space provides
easy access for all vehicles but especially for those towing caravans and boats. The café’s food is all made on-site and the coffee produced by staff, who are all fully-trained baristas, is New Zealand-made coffee by providers L’Affare. “Our $7 meal specials seem to be a big hit with the tradies,’ says marketing manager Rhyce Bark-
er. It’s a different meal deal every day he says, adding that their signature-made in-house dish, the tender chicken crunch, is one of the $7 dishes. NPD Refresh Café is part of the NPD brand developed to go hand-in-hand with their fuel. It’s one of four similar stations across the South Island.

Perfect conditions for Wellington swim Peter Gibbs More than 500 swimmers raced over 3.3km in the Interislander Swim the Lighthouse race in Wellington on Sunday. Nelson swimmer Oxford Bayley and Richmond’s Abbey Smale topped the podium in the second event of this season’s Banana Boat Series, Bayley improving one place from Swim the Shore in December, while Smale continued her unbeaten record in six consecutive races since winning in Takapuna. Following a blustery, cold Wellington Saturday, the sun rose in a cloudless sky on race day. Hardly a ripple disturbed the water. Alex Dunkley of Auckland led the way for the first 1200m from Oriental Bay Beach to the Pt Jerningham Lighthouse, with Bayley and Wellington’s Luke Kuggeleijn just behind. A second group contained Smale, along with Bronson Lloyd and Eligh Ashby of Wellington. A slight choppiness arose in the approach to the lighthouse, things smoothing out as the swimmers headed into the 1500m leg back towards downtown Wellington. Bayley made his move. “I just started to ride the waves and eased past Alex as we headed towards town,” he said. Dunkley didn’t allow the leader much leeway, but couldn’t bridge that initial break, with Bayley retaining a margin of 20

Alice Adams of Auckland was the second woman to finish, a minute and 20 seconds behind Smale, with Allesandra Unsworth of Wellington, Jodie Lovell of Blenheim and Christina Harris of Nelson in a virtual photo finish for the next placings. All through the field, some of New Zealand’s best swimmers of recent decades dominated their age groups, with 79-yearold Bishop Derek Eaton of Nelson finishing in 97th place of the 507 to complete the event. Eaton wasn’t the oldest in the field, that honour going to Peter Wilkinson of Auckland,
who won M80-84, finishing in 297th place in a time of 1hr 3min 2sec. Other Nelson successes in Wellington included age group gold to Christina Harris (F5559), Angus Perham (M60-64), Ben Van Dyke (M70-74) and Eaton (M75-79) and silver to Rebecca Hollingsworth (F3034), who now lives in Wellington, and Dick Bennison (M6569). Nelson bronze medal winners were Austen Dean (M25-29) and Maggy Johnston (F65-69). Swimmers also raced over distances of 1000m, 500m, 200m and 100m. Race three of the Banana Boat Series, the longest of the sevenrace series, is the 5km Generation Homes Le Grande Swim in Akaroa on February 20.

After winning the toss, it was opener Nick Clark and middle-order batsman Joe O’Connor who set up the victory with a 271-run fifth wicket stand which took the visitors from 57 for four on day one to 328 for five. Clark finished on 172 while O’Connor gave great support to make 120. After Nelson was dismissed for 365, the bowlers went about dismantling the Canterbury top-order during the middle stages of day two on Sat-
urday. They were reduced to 111 for seven before their lower order stood-up in a last gasp effort to retain the Hawke Cup. Batting at 9, Zac Foulkes hit a gritty 92 while No 10 Fraser Sheat managed 76. However, once Tom Zohrab removed Sheat after a 117-run ninth wicket stand, the cup was secured. Josh Newport and Zohrab each took four wickets. Nelson eventually dismissed Canterbury Country for 325 and batted the rest of the final session to secure the win. It is the 12th time Nelson has held the Hawke Cup since 1933 and they’ve defended it on 71 occasions.

Leadership role for Tom Ingham in Giants NBL campaign Jacob Page Expect Tom Ingham to
have more of a leadership role for the Nelson Giants in this season’s
National Basketball League. The Waimea College product has signed on once again for his home team, for his ninth season. The signing was an important one for head coach Michael Fitchett “Tom’s performance at the Showdown last year was fantastic,” Fitchett says. “He took a big jump in court time and really made the most of it. “Of course, his scoring, rebounding and other stats took a big jump, but his shooting percentages improved across the board in spite of being one of the key focuses for opposition defences. “That gives me a lot of confidence in his ability to play big minutes for us this year.” Tom says he is keen to build on what was a breakthrough campaign for him last year. “The Showdown was a great opportunity for me to show that I
belong in this league, and should have a bigger role going forward,” Ingham says. “It is something I’ve been working towards for a long time, so to be able to perform like I wanted to was actually a bit of a relief. “I have been putting in plenty of off-season work now to be able to make another jump in my play.” As well as taking on a scoring role, Ingham will be required to assume a leadership role for what is shaping up to be a reasonably youthful team. All of Ingham’s 8 years of experience will be needed to provide leadership. “With Sam Dempster’s new assistant-coaching role, we will need Tom to take on a leadership role this year. His experience, ability and, most importantly, his work ethic, make him a player the rest of our squad should follow, but this will be another area of development for Tom,” said Fitchett.

Wanderers connection to Hawke Cup win Jacob Page With little club cricket on last weekend, Wanderers and Motueka cricket clubs were closely following the performance of key club players in the Griffins team as they battled Canterbury Country for the Hawke Cup.
The Wanderers-Motueka premier team contributed two players to the squad with Harsh Visavadiya playing in all games and Logan Ogilivie gaining selection as 12th man for the final. Harsh’s credentials are well known having represented Southland and Otago in pre-
vious Hawke Cup challenges and victories - this win being his third time in a victorious team - but for Logan this was his first journey to the big dance and both Motueka and Wanderers clubs applaud Brady Barnett and his selectors on blending the youth group in to the squad.
Wanderers-Motueka captain Hayden Ingham was pleased to see Logan’s name in the team and commented on the selection. “It is well deserved as Logan has worked very well both seasons in the Premier grade” He added that Logan is a talented player.,
