Person killed in boating tragedy Paula Hulburt Editor

A person has been killed and two others injured after a boat smash in the Marlborough Sounds. An injured boatie managed to alert emergency crews who rushed to Okiwi Bay about

7.25pm on Sunday night. The fatally injured victim was in a critical condition but died on the way to hospital. Yesterday morning, Maritime NZ announced it had launched an investigation into the deadly onwater collision as Marlborough’s harbour master revealed he was looking for more information to

help piece together what had happened. Scene investigations are underway in the tight-knit community which has about 80 permanent residents. Police were called to Okiwi Bay, about 25 kilometres from Rai Valley on the way to French Pass, and the Nelson Marlborough

Rescue crew were called in as well. Police revealed yesterday morning that one person had died. Okiwi Bay Voluntary Rural Fire Force fire chief Ian Montgomery says the collision happened near where boats were moored in the harbour. “It was very, very dark and the

cloud cover was quite low last night, “ he says. Marlborough Coastguard President David St John says Coastguard did not attend the incident. A spokeswoman from Nelson Marlborough Health says one patient is in a stable condition at Wairau Hospital.

Ministry of Education, but government funding has not been increased for many years. It also falls short of the full cost of remuneration in today’s employment context, Steve says. “The Ministry are not in a position to increase funding, but we know that Marlborough schools rely on our programmes to enhance their work in history, geography, social studies, science and technology. “We have been very fortunate in John Orchard’s outstanding leadership of the heritage education programme, but he has retired now, and we have to be realistic about the new salaries offered by schools in the coming years. “We need to do our best to match these expectations.”

Marlborough Lines chief executive Tim Cosgrove says there is a renewed interest in teaching New Zealand history in all schools and the firm is keen to support this. Sponsorship will help ensure that Marlborough students have the best opportunities to learn about our local history and area, he says. Trust executive director Steve Austin says more than 6000 students benefit from the initiative each year. Funding has been earmarked for the next five years.

A teaching role geared to helping bring local history alive for Marlborough students is set to benefit from a $100,000 sponsorship boost. Bosses at Marlborough Lines have signed off on a $20,000 a year sponsorship deal with Marlborough Heritage Trust in Blenheim. The announcement means the trust can employ a senior teacher to run the Marlborough Learning Experiences Outside the Classroom Heritage Education Programme. The move comes as current senior teacher and renowned historian John Orchard retires. John has played an integral role in teaching Marlborough children about the region’s past.

Billionaire boss backs charity gamers News Paula Hulburt A billionaire businessman invited to Blenheim for a gaming tournament sent his apologies – and $500 for a good cause. Stranded in New Zealand after borders closed due to Coronavirus, American gaming tycoon Gabe Newell, 57, was asked to a LAN party in Blenheim. And while the president of video game developer and digital distribution company Valve couldn’t make it, he gifted the community organisation money instead. Marlborough Media reporter Matt Brown helped organise Saturday’s successful MAG LAN gaming event to raise money for Crossroads Marlbor-

ough Charitable Trust. He says he saw the gaming giant on TV One’s Breakfast show last week and decided to invite him along. “I heard he was quite responsive to emails,” he says. Gabe is helping to put on a concert to thank New Zealand for having him during the Covid-19 pandemic. He was on holiday from Seattle when the virus struck and opted to stay in Auckland and work remotely. Matt says he thought Gabe might fancy a day out. “I just thought I would try it on and see what happened,” Matt says. “He got back to me really quickly; I didn’t expect an an-

tunity to meet face-to-face with people you would otherwise only chat to over the internet. “It was great to see everyone there having a good time,” he says. About 12 people attended the LAN party which raised nearly $700. Crossroads kitchen supervisor Richard McDonald was delighted with how the day went, and the unexpected windfall for the charity. “I was really happy to see people in here having fun and seeing people connect over a hobby that doesn’t get a lot of support,” he says. “We’re looking forward to building on that and getting more people in next time.”

Restoration research: Marlborough District Council, Ngāti Kuia and the Department of Conservation are inviting the wider community to hear more about the Te Hoiere/Pelorus Landscape Restoration Project – a proposal to address land use. Find out more by going along to Havelock Town Hall on Thursday 30 July at 7.00 pm. Questions encouraged. Insurance bill: Kaikōura MP Stuart Smith’s bid to pass a members’ bill to create a legal timeline for insurance companies to assess and present a settlement offer to claimants has passed its first reading in Parliament. “...dealing with insurance was more stressful than the earthquake itself. My bill aims to make life a little easier for people who are dealing with long term effects like losing their home,” he says.

Flaxbourne farmer’s protester challenge Matt Brown

A Marlborough farmer fed up with a lack of action from climate change protesters has challenged them to walk the walk. Fourth-generation Flaxbourne farmer John Hickman is looking for people to help pioneer change in a practical way. The forward-thinking farmer wants to give people the chance to help – by getting their hands dirty. “What got me going was the climate change protests,” he says. “People were protesting to council and government – and I don’t think that’s the right way to get things done.” To get the ball rolling, the Taimate Angus co-owner has fenced wetland on his 750-hectare farm and ordered 2000 native plants. All he needs now is people power to help get the project underway. He says people should take re-

sponsibility for the environment, but that many don’t know where to start. “I want to give people who are anxious, who are worried about the future, an outlet – something to do that will make a difference to the environment for both habitat restoration and potential climate mitigation”. “It’s up to each person but a lot of people simply don’t have the means. “We have the land and the plants, but we struggle with the time,” John says. Several years ago John, a neighbour and a farm worker spent weeks planting 6000 natives around Lake Elterwater – which his farm borders. He says a flood in the first year buried the plants in debris, then it got so dry he and the neighbour had to pump water via a fire pump from the lake to keep them watered.

Photo: Matt Brown. “It’s a hard environment to get things going, southerlies and northerlies roar through here. “But we’re now building on a strong base.” The lake, now boasting healthy lowland totara, kanuka, manuka, Carex, Oleria, Hoheria, cabbage trees, kowhai and flax at-

tracts birdlife that people travel from throughout New Zealand to see. “The lake’s a showcase area but there are other areas around the farm, other habitats that can be restored,” he says. The programme has inspired John to replicate the success in

other areas in the farm – with hopes to take it even further. “So, I’m getting the ball rolling and getting things going from here.” “I wanted somewhere that could link farmers and people that want to help. “It’s also a way for farmers to do a larger area of planting and brings their cost down. “At the same time, it helps the urban people that are feeling helpless.” John says it will also help to break down the rural/urban divide. “I’m a farmer. “I don’t consider myself a massive environmentalist, but I do consider myself a protector of the land.” The first planting day is organised for 9 August. To get involved email johnhickman@gmail.com “People, instead of protesting, can come help us out.”

The Quays a winner at architect comp A bid to brighten central Blenheim has taken out top honours in a prestigious architectural awards competition. The Quays has scooped first place in the Public Architecture category at this year’s New Zealand Institute of Architects Awards for the Nelson/Marlborough area. Held recently in Nelson, the local awards honours best new architecture in each of the NZIA’s eight regional branches. Marlborough Mayor John Leggett says the award recognises the work by Studio of Pacific Architecture who made a real effort to understand the community’s requirements for this

for the new library and gallery,” he says. Winners at the Local Architecture Awards level can also be considered for further honours at a national level. The Quays was designed by Studio of Pacific Architecture Limited and has helped to reestablish the connection of the Taylor River to Blenheim’s town centre. Council’s property and community facilities manager Jamie Lyall says he and his staff were thrilled with the result. “We are proud of this space and it is great to see the area being used more often by members of our community.”

Principal hangs up his captain hat Matt Brown A much-loved school principal has relinquished his captaincy as new challenges beckon overseas. Bohally School principal Shane Campbell was farewelled at a schoolwide assembly on Friday as he looks forward to a new job at an international school in Kuala Lumpar. And a ship captain’s hat – a symbol of Shane’s leadership given to him when he first joined the school – was handed over to deputy principal Nicky Cameron-Dunn, who will take the role of acting principal until next year. Shane says he leaves the school in the hands of a “dedicated” group of teachers and specially acknowledged the school’s deputy principals. “There’s a real strong sense of support from the community,” he says. The farewell, led by two year eight students, featured songs, dancing, and heartfelt messages of thanks to the principal of five years, with one student saying Shane put them, and learning, above all else.

Bohally board of trustee’s chair Suzie Glover says Shane’s kindness and integrity has always been clear from his actions. “He builds learning partnerships with parents and whanau. “He’s focused on the kids first and easy to talk to.” Suzie says Shane has had a positive effect on the culture at Bohally and wished him “every success” in his new leadership role. Originally from Golden Bay, Shane took the top job at Bohally in 2015 following a stint as principal at a primary school in Northland. He joked he had worn through

eight pairs of shoes pacing the halls of Bohally. Under his watch, the school roll has grown from 392 in 2015 to 529 this year and more than 550 students expected next year. Shane says it’s a privilege to be able to focus funding on just year 7 and 8 students. “We’re lucky to have an intermediate school in Marlborough,” Shane says. “What I’ve enjoyed the most is we can spend all the money on two year groups.” The one thing he says he won’t miss at his new role in Malaysia - the cold, frosty mornings.

Retirement beckons for Cuddon boss Paula Hulburt After almost 14 years at the helm of one of Blenheim’s oldest companies, a well-known businessman is ready to make some life changes. Cuddon Limited Blenheim chief executive Andy Rowe has announced he is standing down from September. Spending time with his wife Marion, his grandchildren and helping others in the community are top on his list of priorities, he says. “Let’s call it semi-retirement as I will be looking for projects and or short-term work, so I don’t drive Marion mad. “I think we had come to the realisation as a family through a number of events across our wider family members that we need to start to think about what our next steps were,” he says. With other community commitments and Cuddon in a strong position, the time feels right to make a

The engineering manufacture business is in a strong position, making it a good time for change, Andy says. “Cuddon Ltd is in a strong position and as such this is a good time for a shift in leadership, I think it is also very healthy for an organisation to have fresh eyes every so often.” But bidding the business farewell will not be easy, he

says. “There are two really key areas that I will miss and the first of these are the people, particularly those that work within the business but also those that we do work for. “The second thing is the huge range that we are able to do as an organisation at Cuddon Ltd across both national and international markets.” Andy says he will spend time with the incoming CEO handing over the reins. He also hopes to spend more time at the family’s Kenepuru Sound property. “I will also be looking for some project-based pieces of work or using my skills to help others in business and or community. It’ll be great to have time for the grandkids and their adventures as they progress.” Making the announcement, principal shareholder and director John Cuddon says the firm was delighted to have attracted a new chief executive of Terry’s calibre.

Centenary of service The Mayor was on hand to recognise Marlborough’s justices of the peace for their years of long service. Marlborough Mayor Leggett says justices of the peace make a special contribution to our communities, providing a much-valued service. Together, the volunteers have clocked up more than 100 years of service. Their efforts were recognised at a special ceremony held at the council chambers last week. “They are volunteers and support the le-

gal process which serves us all, witnessing signatures, certifying documents and administering statutory declarations and affidavits,” John says. At a recent celebration in the Council chambers, Brenda Carr and Allan Beaton were congratulated on their 40 years of service. Valarie Kenny and Beverley Pitts 30 years’ service was commended, while Jim Cresswell and Margaret Roberts’ service was recognised upon their retirement.

Kaikōura electorate candidates: What is your position on the 2020 cannabis referendum?

Darlene Morgan, NZ Outdoors Party. Photo: Supplied.

Dr Richard McCubbin, Green Party. Photo: Supplied.

I lean towards supporting the decriminalisation of the possession and consumption of cannabis – there are too many people in the system who ending up with convictions for what could be considered to be more of a health issue. The Bill seems to be creating quite an industry to control this plant so I will need to look into it further before I decide if it’s really the best direction. Do we really want to turn it into another harmful profit-making industry like we have with the tobacco, alcohol or pharmaceutical industry?

Cannabis currently is very widely available and accessed from an uncontrolled black market. Governments have tried for decades to tackle cannabis by criminalising it which has proved a very expensive failure and not reduced it’s use. We cannot eliminate cannabis use or wish it away, but we can try and minimise it’s harm; and that is why as Green Candidate (and as a practising doctor) I will vote ‘yes’ in the referendum to support the evidence based, health informed and closely regulatory approach of the proposed Cannabis Legalisation. Social Credit and New Conservative candidates have been approached for comment.

A delightful township surrounded by beautiful vineyards Located 10 kilometres west of Blenheim, Renwick is a delightful township surrounded by beautiful vineyards. Famous for growing some of Marlborough’s world-famous wines, the township boasts 17 cellar doors within a 5 km radius. The area’s dry climate and high sunshine hours make it ideal conditions for grapes to flourish and locals and visitors alike have plenty to chose from when it comes to places to explore. Founded by Dr Thomas Renwick in the mid-1850s, the picturesque town boasts a range of amenities including a museum, community hall, sports grounds, a supermarket, primary school, butcher’s shop, dairy, medical centre and pharmacy, a hairdresser, fish and chip shop, a petrol station and several pubs including the Cork and Keg. A bustling hive of activity, Renwick has plenty for both people passing through and for residents alike.

There are several small churches dotted around including the historic Wairau Presbyterian Pioneer church which was established in 1859. With the Wairau river just a stone’s throw away from the township, it’s great for anglers, and the Condor’s Bend bike track is a great spot for mountain bikers. Marlborough District Council have recently pledged to invest in Renwick after successfully securing $195,000 in funding from the Government’s Innovating Streets for People programme. A range of improvements have been earmarked for the township, making it an even more desirable option for residents and visitors. The nationwide programme focuses on trial projects that make it easier for people to actively move around their local area in ways that strengthen community connections, provide health and wellbeing benefits and improves the environment.

There are plenty of vineyard cellar doors to choose from within easy reach of Renwick. The opportunity to trial options to improve cycling and walking will help the community and council gain a much deeper understanding of how the streets can be improved for a broad range of people, and experience what the best permanent changes could be. Wairau-Awatere Ward Councillor Cynthia Brooks says the local

community is excited to receive this funding and be part of the programme. “Havelock Street was identified as a key walking and cycling route by our local community a couple of years ago through the Smart + Connected process. “Since then we have continued to discuss ideas for improvements and creating a friendly, connect-

ed and inclusive community. “Many children use Havelock Street to get to and from school but currently it has many intersections, limited walking access and no cycling facilities, so this programme is particularly timely,” she says. The future is looking bright for Renwick, so make the most of all this township has to offer.

School flood water worries over council upgrades Chloe Ranford Local Democracy Reporter Ministry of Education bosses are concerned plans to pump more stormwater into Blenheim creeks could increase the risk of flooding at three schools. Marlborough District Council wants to pipe stormwater runoff from 393 hectares of land in north-west Blenheim into four creeks. But the Ministry of Education has lodged a counter submission, concerned the works could increase the risk of flooding at Marlborough Girls’ College, Bohally Intermediate – which together will be the site of the town’s new colocated college campus – and Springlands School. Two of the creeks, Fulton Creek and Murphy’s Creek, are located within 200 metres of the schools, and were set to take up to about 3000 more litres per second from the Springlands area. Flood modelling run by the council concluded the works would not harm the three schools or the co-located colleges when built. The ministry says it would not support the application in full until it could check the results. It also pointed out that the

Council received one submission of conditional support from Springlands couple Tony and Helen Smale. Photo: Chloe Ranford/LDR. modelling for the co-located schools was based on a presumption that the site would increase its footprint by 50 per cent, despite no final designs being agreed. Ministry of Education head of infrastructure service Kim Shannon says the ministry planned to review the modelling using a Resource Management Act consultant. “The safety and wellbeing of staff and students is a priority for us as it is for schools, and we have a responsibility to make sure our school properties are safe,” she says. The works are part of a larger management plan for the Springlands Stormwater Area. The area is the largest of Blenheim’s 11 stormwater catchments and the first one to receive a management plan, to

provide for future development in the northwestern growth zone. Council received one submission of conditional support from Springlands couple Tony and Helen Smale. The pair want changes to the management plan that would see council support landowner efforts to stabilise the banks. They also say the council should aim to restore the creek’s mauri (life force), rather than maintain it, because its essence was effected by its use as a drain. Management plans were on the docket for all stormwater areas in Blenheim, and later for all built-up areas within the region. A hearing between the parties will occur on September 2.

Junior rugby players get their chance Peter Jones Marlborough’s rugby grounds were fully utilised on Saturday, as junior rugby returned after the lockdown delay. Under clear, blue skies the region’s younger brigade finally put the skills they had been practicing at home to good use on the field, while the senior players were also back in action, heading towards finals late next month. In Picton, a 30-15 victory over Awatere ensured Waitohi are firmly back on track to defend their Marlborough sub-union division one crown. The Tohis recently dropped backto-back games to Central and Moutere but, after tipping over Renwick last weekend and Awatere on Saturday, showed they are still the team to beat. They led Awatere 18-3 at halftime and, although the second half honours were shared 12-12, they had enough points on the board to get the job done. They also registered four tries to pick up a valuable bonus point. Player/coach Jimmy Giles was happy with the amount of scoring opportunities his side created, although they were unable to take advantage of them all. Outstanding for the Tohis in what Giles described as an “allround team effort” was prop Losi Malimali, back from suspension, hooker Taimi Fangatua, flanker Taine Cragg-Love, halfback Karlos Tautari and young first five Dylan McManaway who is relishing the opportunity to learn from Mako utility Tim O’Malley. It was also Waitohi’s club day, the

rugby club joining with Tokomaru netball and Picton’s footballers to make it a community occasion at Endeavour Park. Awatere’s best were midfielders Sione Vea and Ben Filipo, plus hard-working forward Jack Roberton. In Saturday’s other match, Renwick comfortably accounted for Moutere 53-16 at the Renwick Domain. The Green Machine led 24-6 at the break and continued to rack up the tries against a side who went a player down after 25 minutes when their midfielder was shown a second yellow card for a no-arms tackle, then a red. In top form for Renwick were midfielder Kyle Marfell, loosie Cody Weir, lock Atu Taufa, first five Alex Barnsley, loose head prop Sione Lonitenisi and No 8 Kurt Schollum. A “cameo” appearance late in the game by former Mako player Cory Holdaway underscored a growing injury toll in the home side’s ranks. Head coach Glen Blackmore said his side had “been a bit more ruthless”. “The last couple of weeks we haven’t finished well, fell off the pace late in the game, so we put a lot of emphasis on that this week.” Competition leaders Central had a bye. With three rounds remaining until the play-offs the Blues, Renwick and Waitohi are already assured of places in the semi-finals. The battle for the final position will come down to Awatere and Moutere, who meet at Awarua Park in the final round on August 15. Scores: Renwick 53 (Atu Taufa, Sione

As soon as the home side got their noses in front, MBC were unable to respond. “The wheels fell off when Rangiora got ahead of us,” said disappointed MBC coach Matt MacDougall. “It has been the story of our year. As soon as teams get ahead of us we start to lose belief, our structure goes out of the window and they find it very hard to claw their way back.” Jake Pacey and Ryan McLeod scored MBC’s two tries, Kyren Taemoefolau converting both. Outstanding with ball in hand for MBC was No 8 Viliami Napa’a who made 17 carries, while fullback Cameron Collins made a strong fist of the fullback’s role. Jack Fisher-McKinney also shone in his first start, along with young loosie Arlyn Bull, who made his debut. Their fifth loss of the season relegates MBC to 11th on the UC table. Next up is a home game against Christ’s College on Saturday.

Table-toppers win again Sport Peter Jones Rangers AFC continued their unbeaten run in the Nelson division one football competition on Saturday, but their path to the top is becoming increasingly tough as their Nelson-based rivals target the high-flying Marlborough outfit. On Saturday they downed Nelson Suburbs Development 2-1 at Saxton Fields, eventually coming out on top of a torrid battle against a home side containing a couple of players dropped down from Suburbs’ Mainland team. “It’s getting tough,” said Rangers’ player/coach Tore Waechter. “All the teams seem to be getting up for it against us now, but we keep pulling through at the moment.” Rangers’ first goal came after 20 minutes, Waechter taking possession on the edge of the box then finding Jono Masters, who had blindsided the defence with a run from halfway. He scored from around the penalty spot. Rangers had a couple more chances in the first spell but were guilty of giving away possession too easily. They were made to pay just before halftime, being caught out on a counterattack as the home side equalised. The match’s deciding goal came five minutes after the break. Harrison Pine produc-

ing a measured pass to put Carl Connor-McClean one-on-one with the keeper. Suburbs’ best chance to equalise came in the final minutes. An in-swinging corner cleared the defence and was bound for goal before centre midfielder Scott Belsham headed it off the line. Belsham was player of the day, while Liam Sluiter, Sam Pearson and Martin Delgado also stood out. Standings: Rangers 19, FC Nelson 13, Richmond 9, Suburbs 9, Tahuna 6, Nelson College 4. Bullets in tough battle Meanwhile, the BV Bullets side underlined their title potential in the Nelson women’s division one league, holding top-of-thetable Richmond Foxes to a 2-0 scoreline on Saturday. BV started strongly, a sharp strike from Kirsten Pease saved by the narrowest of margins by Foxes’ keeper. A period of fast and accurate football followed from BV, with Foxes employing a ‘long ball and chase’ approach, until finally Jenny Harvey slipped one past the BV keeper in the

25th minute to give her side a 1-0 halftime lead. The second half was no less a battleground. BV stitched together a stylish attack but Lauren Sloan’s finish was denied by the keeper. The Foxes retaliated quickly, a second goal being awarded to Harvey from a disputed offside position to complete the scoring. BV’s player of the day was hard-working goalkeeper Taz Gilbert. Standings: Foxes 18, Bullets 15, FC Nelson 13, Suburbs 6, Nelson College 3, Motueka 1. Local action In Mayfield Motorworld division one, Call Care Trojans proved far too strong for Central Buccaneers at A and P Park, winning 6-0, Tomas Lupani scoring four goals and Gustavo Cruz the other two. In the other encounter, Central Wolves rebounded to down BV Cobras 4-0 at Athletic Park. Steve McCaa scored twice, as did Sam Boyce. Division two saw Rangers Clubs of Marlborough down Trojans Dribbles 3-1 and Rangers Development beat Redwood Masters 3-0. Both games were at A and P Park. In division three Call Care Spartans downed Central Privateers 3-0 at Athletic Park while Picton Crow Tavern lost 6-1 to Rangers Masters at Endeavour Park.

Hockey triumph: The Arotea Kiwi women’s hockey team won the Top of the South club title in Nelson at the weekend. They played four games, beating Buller 2-0, Federal 3-1, Greymouth 2-0 and drawing 1-1 with Tasman. In Sunday’s final they downed Tasman 1-0. The winning team was: Grace Davies, Carly Englefield, Ella Williams, Abby Scott, Alice Roughan, Alissa Marks-Holdaway, Yvonne Boyd, Charlotte Westend, Mackenzie Hanrahan, Natasha Veltman, Jodie Lawson, Jo Jones, Veronica Hardman, Grace Calder and Emily Wallace.

day with three entertaining matches, all decided by six goals or less. The evening’s top match saw unbeaten sides Tokomaru and Harlequins go head-to-head. After an hour of tight, see-sawing action the reigning champions Tokomaru came out on top 49-45. First up was a clash between two sides yet to register a win over the opening three rounds. Marlborough Girls’ College A met Awatere and another close, intense tussle eventuated, the students eventually getting their noses in front late in the final quarter to prevail 46-43. The evening’s third match featured Pelorus and SMOG and once again there was not much in it. Pelorus came out on top 53-47 but were pushed throughout.

Sophie’s stellar career over Peter Jones Reporter

peter@marlboroughmedia.co.nz

A 14-year journey that propelled her to the top of the world has ended for Marlborough rower Sophie Mackenzie. The 28-year-old double world champion announced last week that she had decided to retire from the sport which took her many times around the globe, including a trip to the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games. Marlborough Sportsperson of the Year in 2014 and 2015, Sophie is one of this province’s most decorated rowers. Growing up on a Waihopai Valley farm, Sophie attended Marlborough Girls’ College, quickly becoming immersed in their rowing programme. Success at schools level soon earned her national recognition, where she teamed up with fellow Marlburian Georgia Hammond. The dynamic lightweight double represented New Zealand at both under-21 and under-23 level, winning a bronze medal in Lithuania in 2012. The following year she was back at the under-23 worlds, this time alongside Lisa Owen in Austria, but again they had to settle for bronze. However, showing the determination that has characterised her career, Sophie went back for a third shot at world domination. In Italy, during the summer of 2014, she teamed up with Nelson’s Zoe McBride and the top of the south combination made it to the uppermost step of the podium. But her golden summer of 2014 was not finished. In a bold move, the NZ selectors opted to put her

alongside Rotorua’s Julia Edward in the lightweight double at the elite world champs in Amsterdam. Despite having only five weeks of training together, they stunned the rowing fraternity by claiming gold, then underlined their world champion pedigree by repeating the dose a year later in France. Thus, they were among the favoured crews heading for the Rio Games where they finished agonisingly short of a medal, coming fourth in the A final. After Rio, Sophie decided to take break from the sport she had based her life around since school days. Her naming in the 2018-19 Summer Squad marked a comeback and she was subsequently named in the NZ elite squad in 2019. However, as Sophie explains, her return to the sport has been far from smooth, prompting her decision to move on with her life. “I have dedicated 14 years to the sport through high school, RPC, under-23s and elites, had a minor break after Rio and a particularly bumpy ‘comeback’ these past two years - with nine injuries in 12 months - then ‘turned’ heavyweight … I have achieved some big highs, but also at times I’ve had some very low lows.” She made the call to end her rowing career last week, while still training with the NZ elite squad at Karapiro. “We just had four weeks off and in that time I didn’t think about rowing much at all. “Lockdown wasn’t much fun because before that I had missed selection and [the selectors] told me my erg score wasn’t good enough … which meant I had to sit on an erg for eight weeks at home beating myself up. That

Photo: Rowing NZ. took away part of my joy at being involved. “So, I went into the break not feeling that great about rowing, but came back and just tried to keep a neutral head. “However, when I was rowing all I could think about was retiring and how I would do it. Before I went to bed on Tuesday I said to myself, ‘if you wake up tomorrow and decide to go to training that’s cool, but if you wake up and are not looking forward to it you should probably stop Soph … because you are just kidding yourself now. “Then I woke up on Wednesday and it was raining and I was just like, oh screw this, my hands are sore and I didn’t feel like going out and pushing really hard. “I am pretty much at peace with my decision and very happy.” She immediately informed the rowing hierarchy who were “very supportive” of her decision. “They were great,” said Sophie. “They acknowledged everything that I had done which was really cool.” Asked to pinpoint the high point of her career, Sophie’s mind goes

back to 2014. “At the start of that season I couldn’t have envisioned things going how they did. It was just phenomenal to win the 23s, which I had been dying to win for three years, with Zoe. That was also the start of her wonderful career and it was great to be there with her at the start. “And then going on to win the [elite] world champs with Julia and set the world’s fastest time … that was the ultimate.” Along with the highlights there have been a few low points, including her 2019 campaign, when she was selected into the NZ lightweight single to compete in Europe, but was injured then joined the squad late. However, her injury never fully recovered and she asked to be sent home, straight into three months of rehab. She was then asked to try out for the heavyweight quad, which she did, but again missed selection. “It felt like I never came back properly because I never got to compete on the world stage again, that still grates me a little bit.” However, Sophie has no axe to

grind, having got so much out of a sport she fell in love with while still a schoolgirl and which has repaid her hard work in spades. “When I got into the rowing boat after a break I just couldn’t stop smiling. I loved rowing itself and the environment … pushing myself and helping team mates. I kept coming back because I genuinely enjoyed the sport, the feeling of training hard and being fit. “The winning just makes it more rewarding.” She leaves with no regrets, her trials and tribulations over the past two years making her realise how good the previous four years were. “I would do it all again, definitely. Being able to travel the world and help my parents travel the world has been very cool.” Along the way she has been constantly thrilled by the on-going support of the Marlborough community. “It’s quite overwhelming … you don’t see it when you are slogging away at training or overseas, but when people say they have really enjoyed following your career it’s pretty humbling. “I am so grateful for the support throughout of my family, friends, coaches, teammates and the entire Marlborough community. Thank you so much for supporting me, cheering for me and literally helping to fund my way towards reaching my goals which I would have never thought possible. “It means so much that I’ve been able to go on this crazy competitive, all-consuming rowing journey. “Now I’m super excited and happy for the next chapter of life and getting my nutrition career off the ground.”
