Husband of former Nelson woman killed in attacks ‘forgives’ killer Anna Leask and Jonty Dine The husband of a former Nelson woman killed in the Christchurch terror attacks says he forgives the man allegedly responsible for the shootings.

Farid Ahmed and his wife Husna were in separate rooms inside the Al Noor Mosque when the gunman opened fire last Friday.

Husna ran classes for children at the mosque, while her husband gave sermons.

Farid Ahmed came to New Zealand in 1988 and Husna in 1994. They married the day she arrived in Auckland and moved to Nelson that week, living here until Farid was hit by a drink driver about 15 years ago.

As a gunman stormed into the mosque firing indiscriminately at worshippers, Husna had one priority - getting the women and children to safety.

“Hold your children, come this way,” she screamed as she led the group out a side door and through a gate away from the storm of bullets and carnage behind them.

Once sure they were out of harm’s way, Husna returned inside to help her wheelchair-bound husband.

Husna knew he had no way of escaping the shooter and was desperate to reach him, to help him get away.

As she made her way back into the mosque, she was shot and killed.

Farid said he did not, and could not, hate the gunman.

In fact, extraordinarily, he has forgiven the alleged mass murderer.

“There is no need for anger - anger and fighting doesn’t fix anything, but through love and care we can warm hearts.

How could this happen in a place like New Zealand?

Tasman mayor condemns terror act The vast majority of New Zealanders never believed what happened last week in Christchurch would, or could, ever happen in this country, Tasman Mayor Richard Kempthorne says.

“We have seen footage of similar events elsewhere in the world but never thought that something so horrifyingly callous could take place in our own streets,” he says.

Even harder to bear is that many of the victims, their families and friends came to New Zealand to escape persecution and enjoy the freedom to believe in a better life, a freedom we sometimes take for granted, Richard says.

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone impacted by the horrific events in Christchurch on Friday. I know our community and country joins me in condemning this dreadful act.

“We extend our sympathy, love and full support for our Muslim community during this time whether they are in Christchurch, Nelson and Tasman or anywhere else in New Zealand.

He says everyone has the right to be accepted, safe and free to believe in a greater good – “let us not allow one act of evil take that from us.”

Husband of former local woman killed in attacks ‘forgives’ killer FROM PAGE 1 “I was asked ‘how do you feel about the person who killed your wife?’ and I said ‘I love that person because he is a human, a brother of mine,” he said.

“I do not support what he did - he got it wrong. But maybe he was hurt, maybe something happened to him in his life … but the bottom line is, he is a brother of mine.

“I have forgiven him and I am sure if my wife was alive she would have done the same thing. I hold no grudge.”

Rashad says there is a lot of mourning and processing to be done within the Muslim community.

Last Sunday, hundreds of Nelson and Tasman people gathered at the Church Steps to stand in solidarity with the Muslim community.

A service for the victims of the shooting will be held at the Nelson masjid, behind Old St John’s on Hardy St, this Friday, March 22 from 12.30pm.

The service will begin with a holding hands ceremony, which will be followed by Friday prayer at 1.30pm and a prayer for the victims at 2pm.

Restrictions relaxed, risk remains Recent rain has led to a further relaxation of water restrictions in place across the Waimea Plains, but more rain is still needed.

Although the rain led to restrictions in Golden Bay and the Tapawera area lifted completely at the end of last week, the Waimea Plains did not receive enough rain to lift restrictions entirely and water conservation remains important.

Dovedale and the Moutere Surface Water zone remain at a cease take, with water only available for essential human needs and animal welfare.

Dry Weather Taskforce convenor Dennis BushKing says restrictions for the Waimea area are now reduced to Stage 2.

For permit holders, that meant a 35 per cent cut in allocations and the end of water-sharing arrangements from Monday just gone.

For urban residents, a lawn and garden hosing ban would remain in force for now, Dennis says.

“While we had significant rainfall in some parts of the district, particularly in the upper catchments of Golden Bay, the Waimea area received only a relatively small dampening and groundwater levels are only back to the same levels we saw in early February.

“It was enough for us to relax the outdoor water use ban for businesses needing to use water for their operations, but we are asking residents to continue using water outdoors only sparingly.”

Very little rain fell in the Moutere Surface Water and Dovedale zones, so the cease take would remain in place, he says.

The Dry Weather Taskforce will reassess restrictions when it meets this week.

Forest fire concert coming together Plans are now well under way for the forest fire concert.

The venue is being prepared and the main act, The Warratahs, are getting ready to come across the ditch and put on a great spectacle.

While they are here, band members will travel to the fire site and Wakefield to get a better idea of where the fire took hold and the size of the evacuation involved.

Organiser Steve Page is pleased with the progress being made.

“We have some great helpers on board, especially from the Tasman District Council, and everyone involved has either donated their time or at the very least given significant discounts on stuff we will need.

“All we want now is for the public to really get behind the event and come along.”

One of the other bands performing is Nelson act Dust & Gold, who recently supported UB40.

The duo blend Nikita Fountain’s songbird voice and Mark McKenzie’s rich baritone with an accompanying acoustic sound.

Their songs range from haunting Celtic-influenced ballads, to foot-tapping, sing-along bluegrass tunes, and their debut single Merry Go Round is due to be released in May.

Steve says the bands involved the sacrifice and commitment “It’s an honour for us to be able to have promised a great party at-

mosphere.

“It’s important that as a community we can get together, have a laugh, enjoy a great atmosphere and perhaps relax a bit while having fun and that’s what this day is about. We can then put the trauma of the forest fire and anything else that caused a worrisome affect behind us,” he says The event kicks off at 1pm on Saturday, April 13th at the A and P showgrounds in Richmond. Responders and volunteers get in free with their immediate family, which includes children and partners only.

There is a small general public charge of $10 for adults and $5 for kids under 15. In the interests of keeping things simple, it’s a gate charge and cash only. Families are welcome to bring a chilly bin and seats.

Steve asks that all people involved spread the word to make sure as many as possible turn up. There is free parking available at the town end of the A and P showground entrance.

Organisers would still like to talk to any bands that are good and want a chance to play in the concert. There are only two spots left.

News Race Unity Day

Reserves re-open Last week’s rain meant reserves, parks and most forest areas in the Tasman District used for recreation that had been closed due to the fire risk have been re-opened. They include Aniseed Valley reserves, Dellside Park, Lee Valley reserves, Moturoa (Rabbit Island), Wai-iti Recreation Reserve, Wairoa Gorge reserves, Great Taste Trail Spooners tunnel, Kingsland Forest, Richmond Hills and Tunnicliff Forest. Wairoa Gorge has been re-opened for weekends only, due to harvesting, while Hori Bay remains closed due to road damage. Mt Duppa remains closed due to harvesting. A total fire ban remains in place across the district, although this is regularly reviewed by Fire and Emergency New Zealand. While there are no restrictions in place on using machinery or lawn mowers, caution should still be exercised during periods of hot, dry weather.

Last weekend’s Race Unity Day that was postponed following the terror attack in Christchurch will now be held this Sunday. The Nelson/Tasman region has one of the most ethnically diverse populations per capita in the country and to help celebrate that Race Unity Day will celebrate the region’s cultural diversity.

Organised by the Multicultural Council of Nelson Tasman since 2009, the event will feature a variety of food, entertainment, arts and educational stalls. This year’s event, at Vic-

Traffic backed up in both directions along State Highway 60 near Three Brothers Corner last Wednesday afternoon following a car accident. Two cars collided near the intersection of SH60 and Swamp Road at around 3.40pm. No one was injured in the accident but the westbound lane of the state highway was completely blocked while the vehicles were removed from the road, frustrating many drivers who were travelling home from work. The accident was cleared about an hour later.

New Probus Club president After two years as Probus Club of Richmond president, Chris McKeown retired recently, to be replaced in the role by Gordon Curnow.

Long-serving club secretary Peter Blackmore was made a well-deserved life member of the organisation at the meeting. The speaker at the last meeting was Pic’s Peanut Butter founder Pic Picot, who spoke about the early days of the business through to where it is today. Pic started with a small concrete mixer making 50 jars a week, which he sold locally. These days the factory makes 120,000 jars in a good week, half of which are exported.

Animal Farm to close Animal Farm, Upper Moutere’s interactive, family-friendly farm park, will close at the end of the month.

Changed personal circumstances are forcing owners Vicky and David Pattinson to shut the business and sell their land.

Animal Farm opened in 2014 and has since established a great reputation and a loyal following.

“We’re very proud to have built something that was a great asset to the community over the past five years,” Vicky says.

“We have become an important part of the childhood of many local children. We make our announcement with great sadness as we know the farm is a treasured destination for many people.”

She says Animal Farm has been a great place for families to spend quality time together.

“It has been wonderful to see children having so much fun away from electronic devices and tv. We have loved seeing the children who come regularly gaining so much in confidence with the animals. It’s lovely to see the joy on the children’s faces.”

David says he and Vicky are proud to have helped with the conservation of rare-breed farm animals in New Zealand, especially the rare Arapawa Island goats.

“We started with just five animals and knew very little, but our herd grew to be one of the largest in New Zealand, at one time.”

The animals on the farm park are very much part of the family, Vicky says that she will be keeping all the core animals so that hopefully, in the future, local families will once again be able to enjoy seeing all the animals they love so much.

“I hope to find an investor to work with to purchase the land and re-open the farm park,” she says.

Residents of Bramley Street in Richmond celebrated Neighbours Day in 2015.

Get to know your neighbours Matt McCrorie

Neighbours from local communities will have a chance to get together over an afternoon of games, food, and family fun this Sunday.

To celebrate International Neighbours Day, Community Support Waimea is organ-

ising a family fun day to take place on March 24, between 1pm and 4pm.

The event, to be held at Easby Park in Richmond, “will be a great opportunity for locals to get together and catch up, or get to know new people in their local community,” organiser Marty Price says.

Various organisations will be there to show their support towards local communities, including Richmond Police, Civil Defence, Community Patrol Richmond, Neighbourhood Support Waimea, and the Tasman District Council.

The event is a part of Inter-

national Neighbours Day, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. The event is free, and there will be a blow-up obstacle course provided by NBS for the kids, and a barbecue provided by local scouts.

Families are welcome to bring a picnic.

Waimea students protest for climate change action Matthew McCrorie Reporter

matt@waimeaweekly.co.nz

More than 400 students participated in a school strike for action towards climate change on Friday on the Cathedral steps in Nelson, including a group of Waimea and Garin college students.

The strike happened during school hours, from 12.30 to 2pm, with students from high schools and primary schools across the region participating.

It was part of a series of events held across the world, under the banner School Strike 4 Climate Action. Students in more than 40 countries around the world took part, including thousands around New Zealand.

Several Waimea College students attended the event, including Waimea College environment captains Zia Black and Phoebe Connor. The two

captains organised meetings for students interested, in the weeks leading up to the strike.

Zia says climate change is the biggest threat to all life on the planet.

“This is our only future, and so it is imperitive for the young generation of the future to speak aloud to the government to change the current way we are approaching environmental protection.”

Zia says there was a large feeling of support for the strike from teachers and staff at the school, and although the event was not made an official school activity, students were able to leave through their own means and to stand for action they believe is necessary from the government.

Unlike some schools throughout the county who threatened to mark students truant if they attended the event, Garin College showed their support for the event by electing a group

of students to attend as representation. The school wanted to demonstrate its support for youth voice on what was a significant global matter and that the trip was used as a valuable opportunity for students to learn about environmental protection, solidarity and action for change.

While some throughout the nation believe that school strikes will have no impact on climate change, Waimea College students disagree, saying that it is important for young people to stand up for their own rights, including the rights to inherit a clean, healthy planet.

“We are the future generations, we are the ones who will inherit the consequences of inaction taken to protect our climate.

We want a clear vision for our future, and we want our future generations to experience the beauty and sustainability that we have. We will continue to stand up for our own rights.”

Network Tasman lines charges decreasing from the beginning of April Network Tasman’s lines charges will decrease from 1 April 2019. This is good news for almost all consumers as it means the average residential customer’s lines charge will fall by $3.50 per month (including GST).

“The price reduction is happening for several reasons,” says Network Tasman CEO Oliver Kearney. “Firstly, Network Tasman’s charges from Transpower for connection to the national grid have fallen and we are reducing our prices to reflect this. Secondly, in addition to our existing low-user plan we are introducing a standard pricing plan for those consumers that fall outside the low-user regulations. These changes will improve the fairness of our charges for our consumers and ensure that lines charges better reflect the costs of our services.

“This means our charges will fall for 99 percent of residential consumers, if they are on the correct electricity plan. Households consuming more than 8,000kWh a year should be on a ‘standard’ plan while those consuming less than 8,000kWh a year should be on a ‘low user’ plan.”

Network Tasman recommends any users who are uncertain if they are on the correct plan to contact their electricity provider in the first instance.

After discounts Network Tasman’s residential prices are currently the lowest of New Zealand’s 29 electricity distribution companies (according to the MBIE Quarterly Survey of Domestic Electricity Prices, November 2018). Network Tasman expects this to remain the case when these new price reductions are introduced in April.

“As a consumer-owned company, providing a reliable and costefficient service to customers remains a key objective for us,” says Kearney.

Network Tasman’s revenues are regulated by the Commerce Commission which sets the maximum revenue it can earn.

During the past three years, Network Tasman’s lines charges have averaged $1.4 million per annum below the level set by the Commission.

The price charged by Network Tasman to retailers for use of both the local electricity distribution network and the national grid represents around one-third of retail electricity prices paid by consumers.

Grape growers happy The hot, dry weather that has plagued many Waimea farmers, orchardists and market gardeners this summer has proved a boon for some of the area’s grape growers.

Greenhough Vineyards winemaker Cameron Trott says the vineyards’ pinot noir crop is not only early, it’s the best vintage they have seen.

“It’s the earliest vintage on record. And we’ve never had this perfect ripeness.

“The weather has been a godsend.

“We never expected the fruit to ripen by the time it did and we’ve not had to force the case either.”

The Hope vineyard finished picking its pinot noir and chardonnay grapes last week and picking of riesling and sauvignon varieties are likely to be finished in another week or so.

Cameron says other vineyards in the area will also benefit from the dry summer.

“It could well be the best vintage seen in Nelson in a long time.”

This year’s crop was very clean, Cameron says, so the vineyard lost very little in the way of fruit. Although not a large crop, it was on a par with other years. As an organic vineyard, the crop is never large by industry standards, with a focus on quality over quantity.

Fire volunteer’s work recognised A woman has been thanked for her outstanding contribution to the community response during the Pigeon Valley fire.

Within 24 hours of the blaze starting, Margaret Goff opened the doors to the Nelson Suburbs Football Club’s rooms at Saxton Field to provide a much-needed hub for meals, donations, and community support.

While Marg admits that she didn’t have a plan, she knew that people wanted to help and that someone needed to co-ordinate those efforts.

For nearly three weeks, Marg coordinated up to 100 volunteers at a time to provide food and care

packages to evacuees, firefighters, Police, SPCA, Helping You Help Animals (HUHA) and Civil Defence.

They also supplied the firefighters with vital supplies such as thick woollen socks, lip balm, insect repellent and strapping tape.

“Meal by meal, energy drink by energy drink, and grocery pack by grocery pack, Margaret and her team met the demand,” says Nelson Mayor Rachel Reese.

“She supported the lives of those in need who had been evacuated from their homes, as well as sustaining those on the front lines working so tirelessly to keep our community safe.”

Mayoral fund receives boost Mall Chat The Lottery Grants Board has agreed to allocate up to $1 million to the Tasman Mayoral Disaster Relief Fund, Internal Affairs Minister Tracey Martin announced late last week.

“The contribution will help the Tasman community in their recovery effort from the devastating fires,” says Tracey, the presiding member of the Lottery Grants Board.

Tracey, who is also the Minister responsible for Fire and

Emergency New Zealand (FENZ), visited the fires in March and met with FENZ staff and others involved in the fire fighting and community support.

“What struck me was the scale of the devastation and the huge perimeter and earthworks required to try and contain it,” she says.

“The Fire and Emergency Tasman-Marlborough Area Commander, Grant Haywood, said to me that he felt

the organisation had a moral responsibility to help landowners who had been affected by the creation of the fire breaks.

“I agreed with him. Obviously, stopping the fire was the priority at the time, but that doesn’t mean that landowners should have to bear all of this damage and cost.

“What brought this position into even more perspective was seeing the damage done to a farm owned by one of

the volunteer firefighters involved in battling the blaze.”

Tracey sought Lottery Grants Board support for the release of funding for the fire recovery and the board agreed, with money made available through the Lottery Minister’s Discretionary Fund.

The Department of Internal Affairs (who administer Lottery funding) will now work with the Tasman District Council on how the lottery funding can be distributed.

Website to keep older people connected

AgeConnect co-ordinator Breffni O’Rourke says the most exciting part of the new website is the comprehensive events calendar. Photo: Supplied.

A new website aims to help people aged 65 and over be socially engaged and connected.

Launched by Age Concern Nelson Tasman on Monday, www.ageconnect.org.nz provides the tools to make those connections happen for those people who are unsure what is available.

The website provides a snapshot of AgeConnect, a social connection initiative set up in 2017 that aims to build friendships and connections for the over 65s across the region.

It includes an outline of the AgeConnect Champions, those businesses, people and organisations that are doing positive things in the

lives of older people in the Nelson Tasman region to help them feel less lonely or less isolated. It also provides an opportunity for volunteers to get involved in the regular services run by AgeConnect such as van trips, PetConnect and Tea & Tech.

AgeConnect co-ordinator Breffni O’Rourke says the most exciting part of the new website is the events calendar, which is about connecting people to events and activities.

“There are lots of older people out there with the time and inclination to get out and about more, but are not sure about what is available or how to access it,” she says.

The events calendar is a dynamic portal which features regular and one-off events and is updated regularly with new items frequently being added.

“Our vision,” says Breffni, “is that someone can look at any given day, week or month and have a range of activities to choose from, such as educational seminars, social outings, fitness classes, craft groups, shows etc. Anything that takes their fancy.”

Age Concern is asking anyone with a relevent event to submit details online via the website at www.ageconnect.org.nz or via email to support@ageconcernnt.org.nz.

Firewood sold to benefit community Organisations that operate to help those in need in the community will benefit from the ongoing Richmond Lions firewood fund-raiser.

The service club is selling locally sourced, dry, split gum in 2 cubic metre loads, delivered for free to addresses in the Richmond/Waimea area.

Club spokesman Charlie Rhodes says the quality of the current batch of firewood was excellent. Projects that have benefited from local Lions fund-raising projects include the Nelson Tasman Hospice, the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter Trust and Camp Quality New Zealand, which aims to bring fun, hope and happiness into the lives of children with cancer.

Nelson Matters Shock and grief has swept over our community and country from last Fridays atrocity in Christchurch.

The loss of 50 innocent lives including children as young as three is horrific enough. We must add to this 36 wounded and thousands left with lifelong emotional scars.

The loss of life is compounded by this being a deliberate act of hatred, committed in a place of prayer and on people who came to our country for refuge.

We grieve with the families for their loved ones. We pray for the recovery of those in critical care. They are Kiwis and this is an attack on us. We stand side by side with our

Nelson Muslim community and must ensure they feel safe, valued and loved.

We acknowledge the bravery and humanity of those confronting Fridays horror. Police, St John Ambulance staff and the dedicated doctors and nurses at Christchurch Hospital deserve our praise and thanks. There were also extraordinary acts of bravery by citizens that saved lives.

This was an attack on our Kiwi values. This racist monster is wanting to ferment hatred and violence. We must respond by reasserting louder than ever our values of freedom of religion, respect for all cultures and

zero tolerance for violence.

We must also ensure we give him no opportunity to peddle his hate through his trial. He has silenced 50 innocent people. We make a mockery of our justice system if any opportunity is given to him to further spread his evil rantings.

This tragedy is also a brutal reminder that New Zealand’s geographical isolation is no protection from the international rise of extremism and terrorism. We also need to recognise that all cultures and religions can produce radicals capable of mass murder.

There are three areas where we need to ask some hard questions as

544 Waimea Road, Nelson

we look to prevent such atrocities in future.

Firstly, our security services like the NZSIS and GCSB failed to detect the threat this man posed, despite him posting highly-provocative material. I often hear from Nelsonians opposed to even having such agencies. They are needed and must be strengthened.

Secondly, it is unacceptable that this maniac was able to legally access such a stack of weaponry. We are going to need to review and tighten our gun laws.

Thirdly, we must find a way to curb the spread of hatred and extremism on the internet and social media

while respecting freedom of expression.

On all three issues we need to avoid knee jerk reactions and give these difficult subjects time and wisdom.

This week we focus on respectfully remembering the victims and supporting their families. I have organised with our Muslim community this Friday at 12.30pm a community holding of hands around the new Nelson Mosque in Hardy St to symbolise our protection. We also have Race Unity Day at Victory Square on Sunday from 11am to 4pm. Together we Nelsonians need to make a strong stand for freedom, peace and tolerance.

Progress report on bid to buy totara forest land imminent Brightwater residents will find out soon whether a bid to save a small stand of totara trees estimated to be hundreds of years old is likely to be successful.

Last year the Nelson Diocesan Trust Board sought to retain a planning amendment that would allow rezoning part of its property along Waimea West

of the last few lowland totara forest in the Nelson area - something the St Pauls Church parish and some local residents want to see preserved.

It’s a forest type that once covered much of the Waimea Plains but is now all but lost to the area.

In an effort to save the trees, a community trust was formed with

Road for housing development.

The trust board wanted to sell a 3500-squaremetre parcel of land, part of Snowdens Bush, a private scenic reserve open to the public, to help pay for a new vicarage that had been built a few years earlier.

However, the land contains a small stand of trees that is part of one

the intention of buying the land so the trees could be preserved.

At the time, the Diocesan Trust Board decided it would give the community trust some time to see whether it could raise the money necessary to buy the land.

The idea gained support last year from Nelson MP Nick Smith and since then the community group and the Diocesan Trust Board have been working towards a possible solution.

Waimea Weekly un-

derstands that an announcement over progress made towards the potential purchase of the land by the community group will be made in the next week.

However, it was not just the buying of the land that had to be considered.

The land would still have to be managed, something the church would no longer be responsible for, so that would likelyhave to be taken on by the Tasman District Council or the Department of Conservation.

Don’t underestimate fire trauma: JK Looking after your mental health is just as important as looking after your physical health, former All Blacks star Sir John Kirwan told an audience in Hope last Friday.

Sir John, who these days focuses much of his time on removing the stigma surrounding depression, work that earned him his knighthood, was at the Hope Community Church to speak to people effected by the recent forest fires that led to people fearing for their homes and livelihoods, and also placed a huge amount of pressure on volunteers, such as local firefighters.

He spoke about his own experiences with trauma and depression, and the importance of trying to get back to some sense of normality by dealing with the little things first.

An important part of that was coming up with a daily mental health plan, he says, something simple that involved taking time out and trying to fit things in that bring enjoyment, no matter how simple they might seem. In his case they include coffee and cooking.

It might not be easy, but sometimes it’s necessary to follow the advice often given when you’ve got a problem with your computer.

“Switch off, unpug and then plug back in.”

He says, as a rugby player he had no problem about seeking medical help over physical injuries, but when it came down to what was going on inside his head he, wrongly, felt like a loser, when, in reality, it was just a different type of health problem that needed addressing.

Men, especially, do not like to admit they might need help in that area, he says.

Unfortunately, many see that as a sign of weakness, which he says only makes problems worse.

The pure adrenaline that was part and parcel of having the recent fires on back doorsteps could not be under-estimated and it will have an impact, he says, and if that does not go away, it was important for

people to reach out and seek help.

Speaking from his own experiences, “that was the greatest thing I ever did,” Sir John says.

“Don’t underestimate trauma.

Don’t underestimate what you’ve been through. I’ve been through fear and I know what it feels like.”

Even after scoring a try against Italy in the 1987 Rugby World Cup that has been described as one of the greatest ever,

at the time he could only see what he should have done to make scoring it easier.

Back in the changing rooms after the game, all he could think of was “when is the coach going to realise that I’m not good enough? I was waiting to be dropped.”

Sir John says for anyone having trouble dealing with either the impact of the fires on their lives, or the drought that has also has a big effect on the dis-

trict, there is help available, and there is no shame in asking for it.

“Your troubles aren’t going to go away but there’s a lot of help out there,” he says.

If problems were property or business-related, the first thing most people would do would be find some tools to create a solution, he says.

Making sure you are mentally in a good space to deal with them is no different.

Snooker section trip to play the Kaiapoi Club

Clubs & aCtivities

NELSON. RICHMOND. MOTUEKA. MURCHISON. WESTPORT. GREYMOUTH. TAKAKA. ASHBURTON

Earlier this month, ten members from the Snooker section travelled to Canterbury to play the Kaiapoi Club in our annual home-or-away competition.

Due to the unavailability of several of our more skilful players, we were prepared to ‘get the silver medal’ from the contest but were determined to make them fight for every (anticipated) victory.

The draw for the event was prepared by the hosts and a long day of 40 pairs of snooker ensued.

As we broke for a welcome sponsored lunch, the score stood at 12 wins apiece and we felt pretty pleased with ourselves.

The afternoon session started badly for Waimea, and we soon found ourselves four behind with time running out to make amends, but a very good ninth round bought us back into the reckoning.

The final set of four games commenced with the teams on even terms but losing two of the first three frames to finish meant that all hinged on the very final match of the day.

The Waimea guys were well behind on the scoreboard as the game reached the colours.

With plenty of vocal support for both sides, our chaps dropped both the pink and black to take the

honours and give a final score of 20 games to each club.

The Kaiapoi Club are so enjoying the series that they have created a trophy for it and the consensus was that the day was a success in all ways, so I was deemed appropriate to engrave the initial contest for it as a draw.

Participants then adjoined to the bar area to socialise – and replay many of the unlucky, clever, just-about-perfect and absolutely brilliant shots that had been played during the day.

We await their visit to our premises early in 2020 when the competition and fellowship will continue.

Richmond link to cutting edge architecture

Stephanie Liddicoat grew up in Richmond and is now a leading voice in designing buildings that support health and well-being. Photo: Supplied.

A former Richmond woman has attracted media attention in Australia for her work designing buildings that help to achieve better outcomes for mental health services and their patients.

Stephanie Liddicoat, whose parents still live in Richmond, last month was the focus of a story in the Herald Sun in Melbourne, which looked at her research designing environments to support health and well-being.

Stephanie, who runs her own consultancy practice and will be awarded a PhD next month, says as part of her research she spoke to patients, their carers and loved ones, therapists, clinicians, architects who design mental health service environments, and design researchers, to better understand how to design buildings that improve well-being.

Through this she developed a set of design guidelines to facilitate more supportive thera-

peutic environments, across inpatient and outpatient/community settings.

“I am driven by the idea that the buildings we inhabit can change how we feel,” Stephanie says.

“To shape meaningful architecture is to understand this responsibility, and use it to instigate innovation and change.

What if architecture could help patients when they are at their most vulnerable? How might such spaces be designed?”

Evidence-based design is an emerging area of research, she says.

“Fundamentally, we know that the buildings we inhabit can shape our everyday lives; how we interact with each other, how we live, how we see ourselves, and how we represent and experience our communities.

“In parallel, the rapidly increasing rates of mental illness is fast becoming an urgent global concern, with significant health and economic impacts

worldwide.”

Compounding that is a rapidly ageing population, and other health sectors that rely on supportive, effective-built infrastructure to meet community needs.

“We are investing billions of dollars in new healthcare facilities, and need to ensure this investment is well spent. My work links contemporary research into building design, which can enhance and support well-being, with architectural practice.”

The demand for that type of expertise is growing, she says.

“Governments and healthcare agencies are seeing the value that comes with good design of health facilities: improved patient recovery, reduced complications post-surgery, increased communication between patients and their healthcare team, reduced incidences of violence and aggression, and increased staff well-being and retention.

“In some instances, good design practice can even save lives.”

Following her schooling in Richmond and Nelson, Stephanie studied at Victoria University in Wellington, before heading to Melbourne.

Her architectural career started at grass roots level. A Nelson College for Girls field trip to the school of architecture at Victoria University in Wellington sealed the deal.

“From this moment on I absorbed all the architectural details of Richmond that I could, engaged with the local Tasman District Council to conduct an inventory of the 100plus historically-listed hop-kilns throughout the area, and even returned to Nelson years later to examine a series of therapeutic environments as part of my research at The University of Melbourne.

“My humble home town is rich with opportunities and was the starting point for my career trajectory.”

Football community in mourning Masters

cyclists in action

Jonty Dine

Following the devastating terror attacks in Christchurch on Friday, two football matches that were set to be played in Nelson at the weekend were called off.

Nelson Suburbs and Tasman United were scheduled to play Christchurch teams Coastal Spirit and the Canterbury United Dragons, respectively.

Competitions and events director of New Zealand Football, Daniel Farrow, says it was a unanimous decision and it was the right move for the people of Christchurch.

Suburbs operations manager Gary Hinks was caught up in the drama as it unfolded on Friday afternoon.

Gary was part of a lockdown at his grandchild’s day care centre.

He and his daughter went to the day-care at around 3pm and were told they could not leave.

“They locked the gates and the doors and had us all in a room in the middle of the daycare.”

It wasn’t until three hours later that they were able to go home.

Gary says the football community is in mourning and the decision to postpone the match against Coastal Spirit was the right one.

Tasman United player and Syrian refugee Ahmad Osman says he felt unsafe as a Muslim man following the terror attacks in Christchurch. Photo: Shuttersport.

“Both Mainland and Nelson Bays Football knew some of the victims, we certainly understood the fact they called it off.”

Gary says it is important to show respect for the victims and those affected by the attacks.

“It is a sad time for the people targeted we just have to think of them as we go on.”

BUILT FOR YOU!

Tasman United’s game against the Dragons was deemed a 0-0 draw with points shared in accordance with the ISPS Handa Premiership regulations.

Tasman United player and Syrian refugee Ahmad Osman says he never thought something like this would happen here in New Zealand.

“At a certain point, even I felt unsafe as Muslim.”

Ahmad says he has been inundated with messages of support from his Kiwi friends.

“To all my Muslim brothers and sisters, one person won’t change our thoughts about this country, we will stand together, stronger,” he says.

It was all buzz at the new Saxton Velodrome last Saturday with many of the South Island’s top Masters Grade track cyclists in action.

The Tasman Wheelers Track Cycling section staged a very successful cycling carnival with a full and exciting programme with short and sharp sprint events to longer track events.

The 40-60 age brackets were split into two ability and age ranges and this made for some fast and exhilarating finishes.

The competition was very close in the A grade with local trackies Brett Grimwood, Warwick Spence, Phil Hunt and Paul Michel hard to separate.

The B grade in the same age grade was also close with Don McLean, Jeannie Kuhajek and Trevor Cameron sprinting closely for the line in most races.

The over 65 grade featured some track cycling stalwarts, with Roger Smith, Dave Fairweather and Murray Cameron doing their best to outdo each other.

Luke Frame is the new Tasman secondary schools regional sports director. Photo: Supplied.

Pete Jones

Sport Tasman

Luke Frame knew he had big shoes to fill when he stepped into the role of Tasman secondary schools regional sports director, but welcomes the challenge.

The 24-year-old replaced long-serving former director Jeni Thornborough in January after moving south from New Plymouth. His predecessor has been prominent in the region since beginning with Sport Tasman four-and-a-half years ago.

Luke views the chance to follow on from Jeni as “a great working opportunity”.

“To be in this role at a fairly young age is an exciting prospect,” he says.

“I hope to bring a fresh perspective and new ideas to make life easier and more enjoyable for the people working in secondary school sport.”

Luke’s job description involves working in tandem with the

region’s 16 colleges, providing leadership, co-ordination and delivery of secondary school sport in the top of the south.

He is tasked with lifting the participation of secondary school students in organised sport, promoting and facilitating sporting events and competitions, plus advocating to bring South Island and national secondary school events to the Tasman region.

He will also provide quality training and advice to school sports co-ordinators and offer professional development sessions.

In 2018 Luke was the Graduate at Sport Taranaki, a role that introduced him to the working world of sport and active recreation.

“I had many great opportunities, from co-ordinating the Breakers’ game to working at the Taranaki Rugby Football Union for a few months.”

He is new to the Nelson region, having grown up in Gisborne and Tauranga, while his

partner is currently living in New Plymouth but plans to move to Nelson when a job becomes available.

Luke says that “anything and everything rugby” was his main sporting passion when growing up.

“Currently I’m more focused on running and a few casual sports such as touch and tennis, and I completed my first half marathon in Queenstown last year.”

As well as the challenge of continuing the fine work Jeni undertook in the role, Luke says he is excited by the multitude of possibilities surrounding sport and recreation in the region.

“We have to continue to make the most of what we have here in Nelson, there are so many great facilities and areas that can increase the draw to being active.

“Ultimately it’s all about people and relationships – one of the best aspects of the sport industry,” he says.

Tapawera throwing records fall A number of throwing records fell at the recent Tapawera Area School athletics day.

Tom Haunch, who earlier that day broke the school under-14 triple jump record by 1cm with a jump of 10.27m, went on to smash the school javelin record, his third throw of the day reaching 35.17m, beating the old record of 31.45m set by Glen Chisnall in 2005.

Tom says he felt a great sense of pride in his achievements.

Not to be outdone was Mariah Goldsworthy in the under-14 girls javelin. After narrowly missing the discus record that day, she threw the javelin 24.27m to beat the old record of 18.64m set by Tameka Bennet in 2004.

Meanwhile Grace Mytton set a new discus record with a throw of 21.76m, eclipsing a throw of 21.42m by Melissa Shaw in 2006.

Grace came close to breaking the record last year, so to finally achieve that goal was very satisying, she says.

It’s going to be an action-packed evening at the Milestone Homes Top of the South Speedway in Richmond this weekend.

Already marked down for Saturday was the Nelson Marlborough Waste Youth Ministock Mania, which has attracted entries from Christchurch and Blenheim alongside the Nelson field. At their best, the class is close and competitive and still provides a pathway to a multitude of adult classes.

Then there’s the Sturgeons Superstock Stampede. Nelson speedway fans have been starved of the class since the Westmeat New Zealand Grand Prix drew a big field and large crowd on January 12.

Since then, teams race meetings, class stand-downs and a meeting where the local drivers couldn’t attract the numbers to race, have created a superstock dry spell.

The Sturgeons Stampede — which doubles as the club championship — is for a cash prize over three races with the club working with Christchurch to top up the field.

To top it off, due to a recent meeting postponement, the evening will also feature the South Island sidecar championship, although the field looks likely to be reduced to a more manageable 16 bikes. There’s also room in the programme for the third and final round of the production saloon club championships.

Nelson Speedway Association president Wayne Martin says: “The

Nelson crowd like their superstocks and for all sorts of reasons we haven’t run them for a while now. The couple of grand in cash should help us entice some drivers, plus there’s a club title at stake.”

Add in a streetstock hit-to-pass, two heats and a feature for the TQ midgets, and round out the programme with the ever-popular demolition derby, and it’s a big night at the track.

In light of that, the committee has decided to increase gate prices for the meeting with adult entry $25, members and pensioners $12, children 5-15 $10, and under fives are free. A family pass for two adults and three children will be $50.

These prices apply for this meeting only.

“We went back to the GP prices for the same reason — we have two meetings being crammed into one, really,” Martin says. “Instead of paying $20 last Saturday for sidecars and the productions and $20 next week for ministocks and the derby, you will get the whole lot for $25, with the bonus of the superstock promotion as well.

Wayne says putting the price up is not something that is done lightly, as the club is aware of peoples’ circumstances, bit it is a double meeting for only five dollars more.

Fans save on fuel and food, making just one trip to the track, while the club recoups a little of the costs lost with last weekend’s postponement.

“It’s a full night, we will be pushing races through and it will be pretty constant entertainment.”

Richmond club hosting taekwondo tournament Around 100 competitors from around the country are expected to take part in this Saturday’s Tasman, Nelson, Marlborough Taekwondo Championships.

Hosted by Richmond Taekwando, the annual tournament is this year being held at Saxton Stadium.

It’s the first time the event has been held at the stadium and the larger venue than usual will allow more people to come along and watch.

Organisers say clubs from around the country will be represented, from as far north as Tauranga and Auckland,

and as far south as Oamaru.

There is also a team from Fiji entered.

Competitors range in age from six years to their 50s.

There will be two different types of competitions at the tournament, sparring and patterns.

The patterns, which will start at about 9am on Saturday, involves competitors completing a series of movements in sequence, with each grade being different.

The free sparring, which organisers say usually attracts more interest from the general public, will start around 11am,

with the black belts in action from about 2pm.

Richmond club members have been training hard for the tournament in recent weeks, and organisers say Richmond will be represented by a large and competitive team in the sparring and patterns categories.

Hosting the tournament in the Tasman area provides an opportunity for members of the Richmond club to compete against people from other clubs without incurring the costs involved in having to travel to other parts of the country.

To find out more about the programme and apply, visit https://www.volunteernelson.org.nz/young-leaders/, email: holly@volunteernelson.org.nz or phone 03 546 7681.

Richmond runner claims another title It was business as usual in the men’s section of the recent Kaiteriteri Gold Half Marathon and 10km Race, with Richmond’s Phil Costley winning the longer event for the ninth consecutive year.

Phil’s time was a creditable 1 hour, 18 minutes and 16 seconds.

Tania Gardner won the walking section in 2.32.51, three minutes ahead of her nearest rival, Daryl Nish,

who was the first male home in 2.35.26.

Age group winners from Waimea Harriers and Athletics Nelson were Klaartje van Schie, 40-49 years women, in 1.33.49, Graeme Sellars, 60-plus men, in 1.41.50, and Yvonne West, 60-plus women, in 1.58.36.

In the 10km event, Peter Hague was the first walker home in 1.00.05 and Clare Weyers the first woman in 1.10.38, both very fine ef-

forts on this course.

Fran Kerse won the 60-plus women’s 10km run in 52.07.

While competitors missed their usual swim and relaxation in the sun after the event, conditions for the race itself were excellent, with a gentle rain falling throughout the event. Many Nelson runners and walkers were among the 320 athletes who took part with several featuring prominently at the award ceremony.

Klaartje van Schie leads a group of runners around the Marahau Estuary on their way back to Kaiteriteri.
