‘Exhausted’ carers need respite Jo Kent Reporter

jo@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Tasman’s full-time carers can finally breathe a sigh of relief after battling exhaustion looking after their loved ones during lockdown. During Level 4, respite home visits from Age Concern’s carer

relief programme had to stop to keep people safe in their bubbles. For some carers, that meant being on call 24/7. From 11.59pm last night, however, we are in Level 2 and help can be given to those who need it most. Julia Reid, whose 84-year-old husband Graham has dementia, said that lockdown had been especially difficult.

“There was no one coming at Level 4. I could cope with the days if I got a reasonable sleep, but a few nights without sleep is really tough going.” She said that Graham never left her side, even for toilet breaks. “Everywhere I go, my shadow is with me. It never stops. He’s waiting at the door when I come out of the bathroom. I don’t get a

minute to myself.” Susan Arrowsmith, registered social worker with Age Concern, said it was a particularly tough time for carers. “Many people will still be getting in-home supports from providers if personal care is something they need help with. That doesn’t stop in lockdown. But the chance to get a bit of a break is gone. So it’s

been hard.” People with advanced dementia, like Graham, become reliant on their carers for every little thing. “I’ll ask him to pass the butter, but he doesn’t know what that is any more. It’s mentally exhausting not to get a break from that level of care.”

Jenny Nicholson While Allan and Sheena Parker’s wedding went ahead on the scheduled day, it looked very different from earlier plans. Under Level 3, there was just the happy couple, three guests and wedding celebrant Marg Palmer. Sheena was able to have a friend with her, but no family as many of her relatives live in the Philippines. They are planning a celebration with others after lockdown. A venue at Nelson Lakes was the original plan, but they settled on a spot on the grass under a magnolia tree in Washbourn Gardens. Marg said she was very happy to be able to officiate at their wedding on Thursday. While weddings were allowed at Alert Level 3, only a total of 10 people could attend. No refreshments could be served, and physical distancing had to be observed.

Tasman in Level 2 The region is now in Alert Level 2. Level 2 means schools can re-open from Thursday morning, with a recommendation, but not a mandate, to wear a mask. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says Level 2 will be different under Delta. Some of the changes for “Delta Level 2” - include that face masks are required inside most public venues, including shops, malls, and public spaces. Masks could be removed at bars and restaurants, for eating and drinking. However, staff would have to wear masks. The Prime Minister said new rules on scanning also applied at Level 2. This meant mandatory scanning at bars, restau-

rants, cinemas, churches, hairdressers and anywhere where there was close contact between people. “To keep it simple, if you’re out and about and visiting indoor venues, please wear a mask.” At private events, a record had to be kept of people attending. There will be a limit of 50 people at hospitality and event venues, while outdoor venues can have up to 100 people. The old rules of customers being seated and separated would continue to apply. At indoor public facilities, such as gyms and libraries, the same rules would apply as for supermarkets: a 2-metre space would be required.

Carers ‘mentally exhausted’ in lockdown From PAGE 1 Graham was allowed to go out for walks with his volunteer, so long as masks were worn and they stayed two metres apart. Most volunteers are now allowed to resume duties in Level 2. Before then, Graham’s helper Michael was in a bubble of one. “He and Graham have a great relationship and Michael actually rang me to ask if he could start back again. It’s lovely for Julia as she’s getting tired now as it’s been a few weeks,” said Susan. Even when Julia does get a break, she usually just spends the time catching up on housework and odd jobs. “Just doing the vacuuming

is so hard when he’s here, so I usually do it when his volunteer comes. I don’t really do anything for myself anymore.” The couple have three children spread across the country, so when they couldn’t get out for groceries in lockdown, their kids helped them out. “We don’t have a computer so couldn’t do online shopping, but luckily my son was able to do it for us from Tauranga.” Susan said some respite can be given under strict lockdowns, providing volunteers follow the bubble rules for people who are isolated and vulnerable, then some respite can be given. But Level 2 will make that much easier.

Lab staff work around the clock to tackle Covid Paula Hulburt Laboratory staff have been working around the clock to get thousands of Covid-19 swab results back to anxious patients. Medlab South Laboratory staff (part of the Southern Community Lab Group) across Nelson and Marlborough have been working 24 hours a day, seven days a week during lockdown. Under Alert Level 4, swab numbers rose from 100 per day to more than 1000 on top of usual community and hospital testing. Regional laboratory manager for Nelson and Marlborough, Rebecca Brosnan, says staff have been “flexible and adaptable” when it comes to tackling the increased workload. “Under lockdown Level 4, we move to 24/7 capacity in molecular pathology which we don’t normally do. “Everyone has been really adaptable and flexible. They know they are not in an industry where they just go into lockdown, it has to be business as usual.” Meanwhile 141,391 vaccine shots have been administered in the region. As of 31 August, this represented 123 per cent of the roll out plan for the Top

Prior to the pandemic, the Blenheim-based laboratory at Wairau Hospital and the one within Nelson Hospital had the capacity to analyse about 480 swabs a day. But with thousands of swabs flooding in from Community Based Assessment Centres (CBAC) and local GP surgeries, it was clear that needed to change, Rebecca says. The main analyser at Nelson Hospital can now take up to 1500 swabs a day, taking swabs from across both regions. “This lockdown, because there were cold and flu symptoms in the community, we needed a much larger surge capacity,” Rebecca says. “To save time we were sending overflow to our sister lab in

Canterbury but then adapted to cope so the analyser could take on more.” Results are usually back within 72 hours of collection during peak surge times. Rebecca says while ideally people would like results back sooner, the logistics involved make that impossible. Under the laboratory’s emergency response planning, microbiologists and molecular staff in both Nelson and Marlborough are split into two bubbles at each site. This ensures there is always back up available should one team have to go into isolation. “Staff have gone out of their way to make sure everything works... and that needs to be acknowledged.”

Back to school, but not for many Jenny Nicholson Reporter

jenny@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Eight-year-old Ella Simonsen was pretty happy to be back at school last week. “I mostly did colouring and see-sawing,” said Ella. Come tomorrow she will be joined by the rest of her school under Level 2. Ella was one of 27 students back at Richmond Primary School, from a roll of 493. Students were met at the gate by principal Tim Brenton and then joined their class ‘bubbles’. Tim said everything went smoothly. A survey was first sent to parents so staff would have an idea of how many students would attend at Alert Level 3. While it gave some indication of numbers, Tim says it’s quite fluid as parents hear when and whether they are working. With up to 10 allowed in a bubble, the school has six bubbles. Brightwater School also had 27 students at school as Alert Level 3 began. He says the logistics were much easier to organise this year. Students at Brightwater have two teachers in each bubble and students are doing a mix of online learning and fun activities. Waimea Intermediate had 34 students on-site on Thursday last week. Principal Justine McDonald said there were five bubbles and students were joining in online learning. When secondary schools reopened last Wednesday there were few numbers through the gate. Local colleges opened to Year 9 and 10 students where parents were essential workers and alterna-

He says having the college switch into online learning almost overnight and sustain learning progress is impressive. “At the centre of all is the learner with an emphasis on maintaining a balance between learning and well-being,” he said. “This is certainly a team effort from parents, caregivers, whānau, students, teachers and staff.”

Cycle trails see record numbers in lockdown Jo Kent Reporter

jo@waimeaweekly.co.nz

Cycle trails in Nelson Tasman have proved more popular than ever during lockdown as locals take advantage of exercising close to home. Now that many of the region’s mountain bike parks have reopened, numbers are expected to rise even further. Under Level 3 and 4, riders had to stick to the trails closest to their home, ride cautiously and maintain social distancing of two metres from others. Tasman Mayor Tim King says people still need to take a safetyfirst approach. “We cannot reiterate enough that your recreation should not pose a risk to anybody else. Stay within your limits or scale it back for the short term. Emergency services do not want to use their resources to manage the consequences should something go wrong, particularly in more remote areas.” Nelson Tasman Cycle Trails Trust chair Gill Wratt says their counters in Richmond recorded increased user numbers in Levels 3 and 4. “Over the weekend of 28 August, the Waimea Inlet counter

Locals made the most of exercising close to home on the region’s scenic cycle trails during lockdown. Photo: Supplied. had more than double the usual number of cyclists and pedestrians. Sunny weather helped and numbers peaked at 1160 and 1001.” Gill says she believes people have been following the rules as the spike in numbers are where the cycleways and shared pathways are close to urban centres. “Out on parts of the Great Taste

Trail, people of all ages have been biking, walking and running, and being mindful of staying safe while doing so.” She says the same thing was evident in the 2020 lockdown. “It just goes to show how popular these trails are.” As Level 2 kicks in, many of the region’s MTB park trails now have a different difficulty grade.

This comes after an audit of Nelson’s trail networks conducted by Envisage NZ and Elevate Trail Building, a working group comprised of Nelson City Council, Ngāti Koata, the Nelson Mountain Bike Club and industry reps. After examining the trails against a number of factors, trails were graded using a 1 to 6 scale established in the New Zealand Cycle

Trail Design Guide. NMTBC chair Mel Schroder says the changes to trail grades were positive and are in line with the rest of the country. “The grade changes highlight the fact that Nelson is a steep area in which to build trails and while we are working on more lowgrade trails, they are expensive to build in steep terrain.”

Solar panels stolen from Rabbit Island Jo Kent Reporter

New solar panels worth $40,000 were installed on a toilet block at Rabbit Island last week after thieves stole the previous ones just before lockdown. Tasman District Council communications manager Chris Choat says the solar panels power the water treatment system and also provide lighting. “The solar panel system is constantly monitored, so it sent us an alert as soon as the power was cut. We knew something was wrong pretty much straight away.” However, by the time a team arrived on site at about midnight on Sunday 15 August, the thieves had already stripped the panels, batteries and switch gear. The main concern was that the toilets would be out of use for a prolonged period, but the country went into lockdown three days later. “It was actually quite handy in that respect as it meant we weren’t at risk of the toilet block overflowing or contaminating the surrounding area.” Four new solar panels are now in place, and the toilet block is functional. A tradesman says they are using a different method of securing the panels to the roof so it’s more difficult to remove them. “Sadly, it’s like any piece of public property,” says Chris. “You are at risk of theft or vandalism, we have to rely on the goodwill of the community.” Police say if you have any information, contact 105 and quote reference 210816/1234.

Books a gift for caravan parks Jenny Nicholson One concerned local spent her time in Level 3 helping deliver the gift of books to those struggling during lockdown. Christine Bensemann put a call out on Facebook for books to be given by contactless drop off to the A&P Caravan Park. In response, locals delivered boxes and bags full of books. “It’s a godsend,” said Christine. “Some people don’t have funds to do other stuff, so reading is important.” She says there were quite a few people living long-term in caravan parks and having books to read and jigsaws to complete gave them something to do during lockdown. “To borrow books from a public

library, people need to prove they live in that area,” she says. “For those passing through or those living for a time at a caravan park, this can automatically exclude them.” When she arrived at the campground, she noticed that the books in their library looked tired. So, she asked the community to help and noticed when new books came in, many more people were seen walking around with a new read. Because the gates were kept locked during Alert Level 3 and 4, couriers could only deliver if there was someone at the gate. Christine took her turn sitting waiting for mail and parcels, and while there put out a flag to let people know they could drop books off and she would collect them.

How phoenix palms ended up in Nelson Kirstan Robinson The large tropical phoenix palm (Phoenix canariensis), also referred to as the Monte Carlo or Canary Island date palm, is a familiar sight in Richmond and Nelson. The palms are featured in gardens, public parks and at the beach. But how did a palm from the Canary Islands end up in Nelson? The first mention of phoenix palms in the region was made in 1903 when a report was made of the importation of palm seeds from Monte Carlo, which were being cultivated near the local tip. The main individual responsible for their early prominence in the region was Percy Bolland Adams, a local lawyer born in Marlborough in 1854. As well as being known for his law work, he owned Melrose House with its beautiful gardens, and was involved in

phoenix palms. In 1924, he ventured further, offering Richmond Borough Council both trees and palms. In 1926, he donated some natives “…and a big consignment of Monte Carlo palms” to the Nelson A&P Association for the ‘beautification’ of Richmond Park. Then, in 1930, just eight months before he died, he gave the association some phoenix palm seeds – including advice on how to plant them. In December 1930, his Nelson Evening Mail obituary, stated that his “…grave was lined with palms which … [he had] … introduced into Nelson and which have done so much to beautify the place”. One of the wreaths was also constructed “… from native plants and trees grown by Mr Adams.

Meeting with God outside church walls Jenny Nicholson With church doors shut, many in the Christian community are exploring new ways to meet with God and care for others. “Lockdown gives an opportunity to discover different ways of feeling close to God,” says Kylie Conning. “Church isn’t just a get together once a week.” For Nova Sutherland, playing his guitar and singing songs of thankfulness to God are part of his faith. He took

a walk to Washbourn Gardens and enjoyed nature as he sang and played his guitar. “When I worship, I feel love and acceptance,” he says. Some churches including Hope Community Church have moved to online services on Sunday, but that is just one component of their church life. “Our small life groups are the key way that people are being cared for and checked in on,” says Pastor Daryl Bay.

He says having a sense of rhythm and community is so crucial for our souls and lives at a time like this. They have kept some of their usual Sunday experiences in their online meetings, but also contributions from families and a chance to interact as they watch. Richmond New Life Pastor Jono Martin says he is well aware that we could be in and out of lockdowns in the days and months ahead, so they are strategically looking at how to creatively and resourcefully connect as family groups. Along with Sunday services online, they are running Zoom and Instagram midweek children and youth programmes. “The kids and youth have been unphased by this and have appreciated the opportunity to stay connected and have some fun using these mediums,” he says.

After the service on Sundays, those wanting a more personal connection can join a café time on Zoom to catch up and encourage each other. Waimea Anglican senior care coordinator Nicola Berthelsen is still caring for the older people in the Brightwater and Wakefield communities with most contact by phone. She has been impressed with how often she is hearing that neighbours are helping and caring for those who can’t get out themselves. “Communities are really important,” she says.

Appleby School keeps spirits up amid cancelled fair Jo Kent Reporter

jo@waimeaweekly.co.nz

The decision to postpone rather than cancel the annual Country Fair for Appleby School has saved many from another year’s disappointment. Fair coordinator Tanya Snowden says postponing rather than cancelling the event keeps the spirits up of all involved. “We tend to start organising the event in May and as it’s the school’s only fundraiser, it’s a huge task for our volunteers.” The Country Fair attracts about 1,000 visitors from the region and offers a great day out for the whole family. With stallholders selling everything from plants and home-made treats to silent auctions, raffles and more, over $40,000 is normally

raised for the school. “We had to cancel completely last year as the alert levels changed and we didn’t know what to expect.” However, this time around they are happy to delay the fair rather than cancel for good. “We’ve been here before and know what to expect once the alert levels drop again, so we’ve scheduled a new date for the end of November and are hopeful we can go ahead.” She says that as the fair is historically the main fundraiser for the school, they may now reassess how they do things in future. “With Covid and ever-changing alert levels, going forward, we might be better off spreading our fundraising throughout the year and not put all our eggs into this one basket.”

Second-gen stars set to light up Sparks Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

The legacies of the two biggest names in Nelson basketball are set to continue when the Sparks return to action in October. Maia Jones and Jelena Vučinić have both been selected in the Sparks squad for the second edition of the Schick 3x3 Cup in Invercargill. The pair are the daughters of Nelson Giants legends Phill Jones and Nenad Vučinić, while Maia’s mum Kat Jones was also named in the team. Maia says draft night in the Jones household was an exciting occasion. “Everyone was really happy.” The 16-year-old says the dynamic between her and her mum is set to change as they become teammates. “She is my coach at school so it will be different playing with her, not for Maia Jones, pictured with father Phill, will make her Sparks debut at the 3x3 Jelena Vučinić is set to return to the Sparks for her.” tournament in Invercargill in October. Photo: Jonty Dine. the first time since 2018. Photo: Supplied. The young point guard says pulling on the Nelson singlet like her mum has long been a dream of hers. “Watching her play and then seeing the Sparks disappear was quite disappointing so now it is starting to build up again, it’s exciting and something I’ve wanted to do for a while.” Maia is no stranger to the 3x3 game having finished fourth with Waimea College at the national secondary schools’ tournament. “It’s not too different, it’s still basketball.” She says she will be drawing on her parents’ wealth of experience as she prepares to enter a new tier of the game.

“I’m one of the younger ones and not sure what it’s like yet so will try to learn as much as I can.”

She is my coach at school so it will be different playing with her, not for her. Maia Jones With such a basketball mad family, it isn’t too hard to find willing training partners in lockdown.

“I play with my younger siblings, they love basketball as well, so we just have some one-on-ones.” Jelena Vučinić is also set to return to the Nelson Sparks after three years. “The Sparks is where my heart is.” The last time Jelena played for the Sparks was in 2018 before the side folded and she moved to Auckland to join the Dream. The tournament also sees a reunion between the two players as Jelena coached Maia as a Year 9 student at Waimea College. “She was awesome, and I can’t wait to see how much she has grown as a player.”
