100 years of adventure Jenny nicholson One hundred-year-old Grace Parker looks very comfortable on a motorbike. She always enjoyed riding behind her husband on his motorbike. So, a ride from her home at Stillwater Lifecare into town and around Monaco was a fitting way to celebrate her 100th birthday. Grace’s face was all smiles as she geared up in a jacket, gloves and helmet before waving goodbye to the crowd gathered at the retirement home to celebrate with her. Continued on page 4.

Memorial trashed three times Jo Kent
A cross which marked the spot where Nicky Edwards’ dad was fatally injured in a car accident in February 2020 has been stolen for a third time. The cross was placed at the Lord Rutherford Road in-
tersection with SH6 in Brightwater after being given approval by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency for it to be there. “The first time it went missing, I thought it must have been taken away in error by an official, but when it happened a second time,
I knew it must be someone being malicious,” Nicky says. “For it to happen a third time is a total punch in the guts.” Nicky’s dad Kevin was wellknown and loved by everybody who knew him. “The day of the accident, dad was
on his way to Kmart to buy a lilo for my niece. It was meant to be a quick trip in and out, but someone pulled out of the intersection without looking properly, causing the accident.” Nicky’s stepmum and niece were also in the car and badly injured,
but survived. “We put the cross there to remind people to take care on what still is a dangerous intersection, so that my dad didn’t lose his life for no reason.”

It feels like they are abusing the memory of my dad.”

Truck driver’s log book breaches discovered following cyclist’s suicide Tracy Neal Open Justice Reporter
A truck driver’s false log book entries were revealed after a cyclist ran into his truck, and died. Carl Zander, who drove regularly between Nelson and Christchurch, was both punished and granted a reprieve by a judge who noted the cyclist’s death was suicide. Judge Richard Russell also said that other road users relied heavily on truck drivers following the rules around hours they were allowed on the road. Zander, 33, admitted in the Nelson District Court on Monday, charges of making false statements in a log book and exceeding driving hours. On November 22 last year Zander was driving a heavy truck south of Wakefield and was en route to Christchurch on a regular overnight run, when he was involved in a fatal collision with a cyclist. Police prosecution said the event was a suicide. The subsequent investigation took into account the class of vehicle which requires legal compliance with work times and log book entries. It revealed that Zander had disguised work time exceed-
ances as rest on a number of occasions, and had falsely recorded continuous work time for a single period in which he drove 848 kilometres over difficult and demanding roads at night.
A truck driver admitted charges in the Nelson District Court on Monday. Police said his explanation was that he “liked to get straight to Christchurch because they cooked a meal for him”. He said he often stopped on the return trip but usually for no longer than 30 minutes, thinking maybe that was “clever”. Zander was currently not working as a driver, the court heard. Judge Russell said the purpose of the legislation was to ensure commercial truck drivers were taken off the road for several months following such breaches of the law. He noted that Zander had been off the road for months as a result of the collision with the cyclist, which was not his fault.
“Your lawyer has done a very good job putting the circumstances that occurred following this dreadful incident where a cyclist committed suicide by running into your truck. “Where you were at fault was in falsifying log books.” Judge Russell said other road users relied on truck drivers to be alert, fit and properly able to drive. “The consequences if you get this wrong are serious, but I accept the results of the incident have been profound and you have received counselling,” Judge Russell said. He said part of that was to help Zander get back behind the wheel, and while he did not want to interfere with that, neither did he want to interfere with the integrity of the legislation. Zander was convicted and fined $600 and ordered to pay court costs. He was disqualified from driving for a month, back-dated to January 1 this year, which Judge Russell said meant he was now free to drive.

100 years of adventure celebrated FROM PAGE 1 Her daughter Brenda says Grace has never been conventional. Although Grace isn’t too sure she would call herself adventurous, she has certainly stepped out bravely to new things throughout her life. Born in England on 24 March 1922, Grace Anne Dorothy Tugwell was the second of four children. “We never did what Mum told us to do,” Grace says. “We were poor, but we had a good life.” At 14, she left school to work in a drapery, earning five shillings a week. Four shillings were handed to her mother, but Grace says she could still buy a lot for one shilling. “I used to spend it on lollies,” she says. “And you got into the movies for about sixpence.” In the 1930s most people lived at home until they married, but not Grace. At 17, she left home to flat with a friend. “I walked out of home and went to live with one of my pals,” Grace says. “It was unusual. No-one ever did that.” With the start of WW2 Grace joined the Women’s Auxiliary Airforce, working in the 149th squadron. “We kitted all the boys in their uniforms.” While it was a time of making lots of friends, Grace says it was also scary as she lost lots of friends, too. After the war, Grace returned home to look after her father. Be-

Little me all on my own on a big boat. I enjoyed it after I got over being seasick.” After a brief time in Auckland, Grace moved to Christchurch to work for Max Factor. She enjoyed
her job demonstrating how to apply makeup. During that time Grace met Herbert Alfred Parker, who was known as Bert. “My friends set us up. Just two odd bods on a blind date,” she says. “Bert was six years younger than me, and I did get teased for being the older woman. He was a nice man and he had nice hair.” She and Bert dated until she re-
turned to England when her father became very unwell. That was another six weeks on a ship. Bert missed her and wrote telling her he would pay her way back to New Zealand if she would marry him. After yet another six-week sea voyage, she returned to Bert, and they married in 1965. “He was a lovely husband. I couldn’t have picked a better one.”
Grace and Bert moved to Nelson and, in 1968, their daughter Brenda was born. Grace now lives at Stillwater Lifecare and was surrounded by family for her birthday. As a girl, Grace celebrated birthdays with a special tea and her mother’s fruit cake. For her 100th, she requested bacon and eggs for breakfast and blancmange for tea.
Battery-related rubbish fires on the rise SARA HOLLYMAN Fires in rubbish trucks and processing facilities are on the rise as people continue to dispose of batteries in their rubbish and recycling. More 40 fires have started in landfills, recovery centres and rubbish trucks over the past year, with more than 10 tonnes of recycling having to be sent to landfill following a recent fire at the Materials Recovery Facility in Richmond. The Richmond plant, which is run by Smart Environmental, was shut for three days while damaged machinery was repaired. That closure meant that half of all kerbside recycling during that period had to go directly to landfill. Investigators believe this latest fire was again caused by a lithium-ion battery from a discarded cellphone. Fires of this nature are becoming increasingly common.
Richmond chief fire officer Craig Piner says over the past year there have been fires in both rubbish trucks and recovery facilities in Nelson, Richmond, Blenheim and Golden Bay. “Disposal of lithium-ion batteries are the issue, when you put it in the bin at home it’s all rather gentle, then when the rubbish truck picks it up it can get knocked around and it then gets compacted, which can damage the battery.” He says this damage is more severe as the discarded battery reaches its disposal destination, being run over by machinery and heavily compacted. “Essentially the damage separates the positive and negative parts of the battery, there’s a very thin separation between the two parts and when the insulation gets damaged it creates heat. As part of that reaction lithium-ion creates its own oxygen, which cre-

He says in the latest emergency it
was fortunate that quick work by firefighters managed to contain the flames to a relatively small area. “If it had spread into the recycling that was waiting to be processed, the result could have been cata-
strophic with potentially toxic fumes being released.” Craig says people throw away all sorts of things including chemicals, which can turn the fires into something even more dangerous. “A more recent one was in the back of a rubbish truck so the best way to deal with it is to empty the truck. When we did that there was a whole lot of pool chemicals, chlorine etc. All of a sudden, you’ve gone from a simple battery fire to something quite significant.” He says the fires then become quite labour-intensive and end up taking crews away from their jobs, families and other emergencies for quite some time. Andy says it is crucial that people think about the way they dispose of old electronics – often known as ‘e-waste.’ Batteries can be dropped off free of charge at most Council Service Centres and all five Resource Recovery Centres.

While more vehicles were stolen or damaged when parked on the roadside, thieves also targeted those parked in driveways and on business premises. An electric bicycle was taken from a carport on Wensley Rd. Other thefts also occured in Richmond and Brightwater.

Car stolen and crashed on same street in same day
MAX FRETHEY When Lilli Partridge’s car was stolen, she didn’t expect to see it get crashed just a few hundred metres down the road that same day. Lilli went to go to work at 8.20am on Wednesday, but when she stepped out of her driveway onto Gladstone Rd she saw that her car was missing. One of her housemates told her the car was still there when he left for work at about 6.50am, but another housemate said it was gone when he left at about 7.20am. “I’m just shocked that they did it all within half an hour in the middle of the morning on the main road,” Lillli says. Lilli filled out a police form online, alerting them of the theft, made a post on a Nelson community Facebook page, and went on with her day.
She says she was blown away by the number of people who reached out to her on Facebook about the theft. “It was really overwhelming.” The police got back to Lilli at 2.30pm and told her they would keep an eye out for her car. Just half an hour after she heard from police, Lilli was inundated with messages on Facebook from people telling her about a crash just down the road from where she lived, saying it looked like her car was involved. She took a short trip down Gladstone Road to the crash site - the PGG Wrightson sign next to Sujon and opposite the NPD petrol station. One look at the number plate and stickers on the back of her car told her all she needed to know. “That put it all into reality, to be honest,” Lilli says. “The first
thing that went into my mind was ‘I really hope no one was hurt from it.’” The driver of the vehicle was a 16-year-old male, a police spokesperson confirmed, and has been charged with unlawful taking of a motor vehicle and reckless driving causing injury. Lilli says she doesn’t bear any ill will to the car jackers despite them stealing her car, freshly filled with petrol, and almost certainly writing it off. “I don’t feel angry or anything like that,” she says. “At the end of the day, they’re still human and they made a mistake. “I hope they learn from it, really.” A spokesperson for St John says that three people were treated for moderate injuries at the scene of the crash and were subsequently transported to Nelson Hospital.
Tāhunanui Train line to be extended JACK MALCOLM Nelson Society of Modellers have put the call out for all hands on deck as they prepare for extensive changes to the existing rail line. Around 300 metres of new line will be added, with 160 additional metres relayed and two bridges relocated as they change the track’s layout, says club president Richard Satherley. The work, which he says they expect to take six months, is in addition to the routine maintenance of keeping the trains on track. “It’s an ongoing thing. . . it’s a hostile environment for steel at the beach.” The club is awaiting the results of funding applications before
work can start, but they are keen to hear from anyone who wants to chip in. “Anyone who wants to help out and see it up and running again.” He says the work is suitable for anyone keen to get stuck in but would not be suitable for children. They are always on the lookout for more welders. The club estimated the project would cost $20,000, but fluctuating steel prices mean they won’t know how much it will cost until they get underway. As part of their fundraising people can ‘sponsor a sleeper’ for $10. This gets their name on an acknowledgement board. For more information find Nelson Society of Modellers on Facebook.

after a long dry spell, the camber of the road, and driving too quickly for the conditions were contributing factors in both crashes. “When the weather is dry, dust and fuel land on the road and don’t wash off, instead soaking into the road,” he says. “When it rains, it pulls the dust and fuel to the surface making a more slippery road.” “There were no passengers in either car, Dan says. “There were no injuries, but the cars were a bit worse for wear.”

Oakdale Grove resident Pat Lithgow is throwing a street party for his neighbours to get to know each other. Photo: Sara Hollyman.
Street party on offer JO KENT When Pat Lithgow heard about Tasman District Council’s new ‘Play Streets’ concept, he decided to make the most of it by throwing a street party for his neighbours. “I’ve lived in Richmond’s Oakdale Grove for a while now and realised I didn’t know any of the people who live close by, so I thought I’d host a street party to connect everyone.” Play Streets is about providing a safe environment for people to be active in their neighbourhood and engage socially with their neighbours. “They are small, resident-led events held on quiet neighbourhood streets during daylight hours,” says community partnerships officer Yulia Panfylova. Temporary vehicle restrictions make it easier for residents to organise their own play street events compared with larger scale events. But Pat has chosen not to shut down road access on the day. “We won’t close off the whole street, but will reduce it to one way where there are activities, thereby causing minimum inconvenience.” Yulia says council is supporting the events by providing equipment, such as speakers, giant bean bags seats, gazebos and sports gear for free. And along with games and a bouncy castle, the Mega 10 BBQ trailer is also being supplied by Helping Hands - the community project arm of Mitre 10. “The trailer will supply all the sausages and bread, so I just need to buy butter, onions and napkins,” Pat says. The Top of the South Neighbour-
hood Support team has liaised with Tasman District Council over the planning of the party and printed out the invitations, which Pat then hand delivered. “It took three attempts to get 90 per cent of residents home, but the invites were well received by all, with many commenting they could see the need for such an event.” Partygoers just need to bring their own chairs, drinks, containers and finger food. He hopes that by having the party, neighbours will get to know each other, and the area will become a neighbourhood rather than a collection of residences. “It’s an opportunity to sit down with people they have seen before but not met,” Pat says. “We have an instinctive feeling that we should not intrude on others ‘space’. This is an opportunity when barriers are down.” He’s chosen daylight savings as the party theme, and is going to celebrate the end of summer before the cooler days kick in. “It was about time I did something to get everyone together and really get to know who we live next door to.” Pat moved to Richmond from Brightwater last year and was winner of the Tasman District Council’s Outstanding Community Service Awards 2020. The awards recognise people in the region whose continued contribution to the community over the last 20 years has been greatly appreciated in the local area.

Welcome end to vaccine mandates Max Frethey
Local school principals are cautious about embracing removing vaccine mandates for the education sector, which will come into effect on April 5. Nelson College principal Richard Dykes says he was pleased to hear the news. “We’re glad to see the end of [the mandates].” He says they were necessary to limit the spread of Covid-19 but were also a complicating factor. Richard, who is also the president of the Top of the South Principals Association, says that each school will be in a different situation following the announcement and will react according to their specific circumstances.

ate impact on businesses. “The minute we went into red, that fear factor hit,” Ian says. “Until we shift out of red to orange, I don’t think there’s going to be much of an impact.” Ian, who is also the managing director of Burger Culture and the Vic Public House, wants to see some targeted support for the industry rather than blanket programmes like the government’s Resurgence Support Payments. “As an industry we’re still pushing really hard for some sectorspecific support,” he says. “We’ve been left high and dry.” But despite his concerns about the hurdles still facing the industry, Ian is still happy to see the end of vaccine mandates.” “Every little step is welcome.” Nicola Woodbury from the Wooden Spoon café doesn’t think the easing of restrictions will have much of an impact on her business. She says she’s concerned her existing customers could potentially feel less comfortable coming to her business when the café opens to unvaccinated guests. “I think if we open it up, we might get some backlash by our vaccinated customers not coming.” However, she says that it will be nice not having to check vaccine passes at the door as currently she only has a two-person team and would rather have their efforts focused entirely on the operation of the café. Nicola says that while she didn’t lose any staff because of the introduction of the mandates, many other businesses did and she hopes those workers can be rehired to ease the staffing shortage across the industry. “I’m hoping that they’ll be able to come back into the workforce.” The Stables Restaurant and Tavern owner Damian Richards echoed Nicola’s sentiments. He says that not having to check vaccine passes will be a good thing. “It takes a bit of pressure of the staff,” he says. “Hopefully we can relax a little bit more instead of being like the Covid police.” But Damian doesn’t think ending the vaccine mandates and pass requirements will have a large impact on his business. “In my opinion, it might be a little bit too late,” he says. He says he had to let some staff go because of the mandates, and so the damage has already been done. “The horse has bolted the stables.” Damian does hope that in the long-term, hospitality businesses will rebound, but doesn’t think it will happen quickly. “I’m not expecting miracles overnight.”

Keeping your electricity network safe and reliable Noah Fay, Leon Caslavsky, and Mack Allred came out on top for Waimea College in the Regional Schools’ Debating Championships. Photo: Supplied.
We’re working on a significant project to replace some of the wires on our network.
Waimea College debating team takes regional win Max Frethey A Waimea College debating team has walked away with the school’s first ever win in a regional debating competition. The Kahurangi-Marlborough Regional Schools’ Debating Championships 2022 was held over Zoom this year due to concerns about the Covid-19 pandemic. However, digital debating didn’t deter Noah Fay, Leon Caslavsky, and Mack Allred who managed to eke out a victory over a team from Nayland College. “It feels good to finally have ‘Waimea’ engraved on [the trophy]” Leon says. The achievement is made more impressive considering the championship was the first time Noah had debated competitively.
“There’s quite a lot of pressure,” he says. However, he adds that being the team’s first speaker made the competition a bit easier for him. Except for their first moot of the day, the debating topics are only given to teams 30 minutes before the debate itself, forcing students to quickly come up with persuasive arguments. “They have to have a lot of general knowledge,” says one of their coaches, Hannah Taylor-Wardle. “This team blows me away with the knowledge that they can come up with in 30 minutes without any research.” Having the competition on Zoom changed the dynamic of the debates slightly. “You can’t really interject in a speech [over Zoom] very much,” Leon said. And not even their laptop
running flat midway through one debate threw the team off. Thankfully, they were able to hijack a laptop being used by one of the junior teams, to continue their debate. The Waimea College team negated the moot ‘we regret the privatisation of space travel and exploration’ in the final debate, which secured them the win. The competition’s judges decide on which students will comprise the teams participating in the finals, and they have selected both Noah and Mack to be the two reserve members for Waimea College’s team. The Waimea team will now participate in the national competition in May, which will also be held over Zoom. “A big thank you to our teachers, we couldn’t have done it without them,” Leon says. “It’s all them in the end.”
In the 1950s and 1960s, a lot of development occurred to electrify the Tasman area. Power authorities of the time built about 1200km of new high voltage power lines to bring electricity to many people who had never had it before. Over sixty years later, it’s time to replace some of these wires in order to keep our network safe. The ones we are replacing are made from light-gauge copper, which, like anything, can wear out over time – mostly through a process called annealing that can cause them to become brittle. Replacing wires is a difficult job that involves the use of heavy machinery and crews of line workers spread over multiple work sites. This makes it unsafe to do the work at night time. It also involves working on long spans of line, which means large numbers of people may be affected and more than one planned temporary power outage may be required to complete each job. Unfortunately some consumers will have their power interrupted more often than they are used to while we replace the wires. Sometimes we will be able to use one of our large generators to keep the power on but most of the time this won’t be possible because of the way the network is built. Electricity account owners of affected properties will be notified of upcoming outages, as we do for all of our planned outages. The wire replacement work will be spread over the next ten years in pockets located throughout most of our network area and it will take place alongside our normal routine maintenance programme. While the work will cause some inconvenience, it will keep the network in good condition so that a safe and reliable electricity supply continues to be available for all consumers in the Network Tasman region.

Helping older locals out with ‘care and repair’ Jo Kent A care and repair service set up by Age Concern to connect older people with police-vetted tradies to do odd jobs for reasonable rates is proving a success. The scheme has seen more than 20 clients use the service since it launched in October. Community support coordinator for Age Concern Nelson Tasman, Jackie MacIntyre, says they act as a connector between the client and the service provider, who receive a minimum of one hour’s paid work for each job. Retiree Brian Jones contacted the scheme after moving to a new house in Richmond which needed adjusting to accommodate his needs. “I use a walking frame, so the front doorstep was proving quite a challenge. This week, I’ve had a workman here from the care and repair service putting in a concrete ramp which will dramatically improve things.” He’s also getting his washing line lowered as he can no longer lift his arms over his head.
Tradie Andrew Aitken is part of an Age Concern scheme doing odd jobs for elderly locals, such as Brian Jones. Photo: Jo Kent. “It’s great to be able to have someone on hand to do the little random jobs which larger businesses wouldn’t necessarily come out to do.” Jackie says the scheme was set up
for just this type of situation. “When older folk need odd jobs doing, but have no one to ask as they either live alone or assume their job is too small for larger businesses to bother with, they

cleaning requests, along with calls for a variety of handy work. “Sometimes older people don’t know if they are getting overcharged for services and that puts them off picking up the phone to ask for help. Care and Repair is a bit of safety net for those occasions and an opportunity to connect with age concern in their community.” Age Concern is looking for more people to join the care and repair provider list, including people with life experience and skills in a range of areas such as dog walking and pet sitting, cleaning, hanging curtains, general property repairs, clearing gutters, painting, water blasting, moving plants and concreting posts. The service covers Murchison, Tapawera, Motueka and Richmond and includes professionals from IT to nail care and hairdressing, as well as tradespeople such as builders, plumbers and electricians. If you’d like to join the scheme as a provider or use the service as a customer, contact Jackie on 03 544 7624.

The way hops are grown Ruth Russ George Rennell Higgins, born 1866 at Waimea South, was the eighth child of Sydney and Sarah Higgins. He stepped up when his older brothers moved away from home and farmed his father’s Mount Heslington farm by himself, as Sydney was busy with another piece of land. George named it Fossil Farm, due to the fossils that have been excavated at the top of the Mount Heslington hills, as part of the Richmondiana Shellbed. George was something of a writer. As well as diligently filling in farm diaries, he penned poetry during the days of his courtship of Alice Hammond. In a poem titled ‘Spring Time & Youth’, he writes:
‘How delicious is the air / With nature’s sweet perfume; / In all seems right and fair / And fills one with joyful tune. // He longs to be on the side / To ride the oceans wave / And the girl that is his pride / He does not like to leave’. George married Alice in 1890. Their first child was born with the help of George’s mother, and six more followed. Fossil Farm grew a variety of things - sheep, pigs and heifers, as well as currants, oats, potatoes and an apple orchard. George grafted many varieties onto his apple trees and won several prizes at the local flower show. He also grew hops. At the time, growing hops was very labour-intensive and the hop plants were trained to grow up
mānuka poles at six foot intervals. Putting the poles in was difficult, and pulling them out even more so, with the plants still attached; the hops would be picked afterwards. George figured there must be an easier way. He studied a photograph of a hop garden in California, and he and his brother came up with a system of posts and wires for Fossil Farm. This method proved so successful that it was adopted as standard practice for all the growers in Nelson. George was an integral part of the Spring Grove Church, serving as a deacon for 36 years (and treasurer for 18 of those). He continued to write poetry in his later years. One sweetly demonstrates his loneliness when his wife Alice
would go to visit her mother: ‘Monday I went up Bellgrove / With a load of oats for Mack; / When I came home I found you had gone / With Mother, home in the trap. // Tuesday I finished poling the hops / And sent Ted Batt off home; / That night I began to get the mopes, / For I felt awfully lone.’ At the age of 76, George suffered from an infected eye for six months, and eventually had to have it removed. For the rest of his life he used a glass eye. George and Alice celebrated an impressive 60 years of marriage in 1950. Alice died just a few weeks after the celebration, and George passed away two years later. The couple are both buried at the Spring Grove cemetery.

We are writing as members of the Nelson/Tasman Child Poverty Action Group in response to Rachel Boyack’s opinion piece Making Sure all Kiwi Kids can thrive. Why is it acceptable in Aotearoa New Zealand, internationally counted as a rich nation, that nearly 160,000 children currently live in households where the income is less than 50% of the median household income before housing costs? The Child Poverty Reduction Act 2018 is intended to help achieve a significant and sustained reduction in child poverty in New Zealand. We can now see in the reports how slowly the reduction is happening. This situation has barely changed since 2006/07 and the poverty statistics for Māori and disabled children have remain largely unchanged too. We need giant steps taken now so that all households with children can pay the rent as well as putting healthy food on the table: so they can afford heating as well as petrol to get to work.

Since 2018, some small improvements in child poverty have been reported. But the changes have been mostly minor, and a considerable number of Aotearoa New Zealand’s children continue to miss out on basic essentials. Their families are facing rents hikes and the cost of living has gone up significantly. There is surging demands for foodbank assistance which shows that there is significant hardship in our communities. The current Omicron outbreak and our response to it is having a major impact on families who are doing without. We do not have the full story for the many who are struggling to put food on the table because the data has not been collected since 2020 because of Covid-19. However, the foodbanks can tell us, it’s impossible for many families to buy one weeks’ food, let alone the two weeks’ food we are advised to store in case our household has to isolate because of Omicron. There is no data available on families

that are homeless or are living in emergency accommodation. Two actions would make a difference right now. It would make a difference to families on benefits for government to backdate the benefit increase promised for 1 April to 1 January 2022 and increase the payment in recognition of the current rising cost of living and inflation. For families on low wages, it would make a difference to adjust the family tax credits now so these, and the abatement thresholds, are indexed to wages, as superannuation is.

It is time to change the way we see alcohol Marcelo Ribas
Health Action Trust - CAYAD Coordinator Nelson Tasman
We live in a society with strong exposure to alcohol, the so-called “alcohol drinking culture”, where the presence of alcohol has become normal. We are all exposed to carefully crafted advertisements which give the perception that using alcohol is harmless, fun and cool. From an alcohol harm reduction view, we should be concerned about the “normalcy status” which alcohol has. We should not forget that alcohol is also a drug. It alters our physical and mental state when consumed. Many people do not realise that this exposure to alcohol also has an impact on our young people. They are exposed to alcohol marketing while walking to school, playing or watching sport, and through digital media. The “drinking culture” is so strong that parents sometimes feel pressured to introduce their young people to small amounts of alcohol at home so that they can learn to “drink responsibly”, despite the fact that there is no safe level for young people to drink
alcohol as it is harmful to the developing brain. According to statistics, alcohol causes more harm than any other drug in our society. Unfortunately, we all pay the price. It significantly impacts the budgets of our core services - health, justice, police, welfare, and ACC, not to mention the damage it causes to families and communities alike. By reducing alcohol consumption we can create healthier, fairer environments that support our communities to prosper and be free from the effects of alcohol. We can improve our mental wellbeing, reduce suicide and family harm, have safer roads and communities, improve our physical health (e.g. fewer injuries, birth defects and cancers) and lift employment and productivity. We have the potential to improve everything we deeply care about. It is time to change the way we see alcohol.

Just a thought... Ross FeRguson Things don’t always go the way we want. When we have been unfairly treated, or wronged by another person or when something has been taken from us, we may feel aggrieved. This will lead to anger, frustration and disappointment, which is a normal response, but if we respond by harbouring resentment, refusing to let it go or forgive then resentment can fester until the individual reacts, maybe seeking revenge, even rationalising their own acts of violence. Resentment describes a perception of being unjustly treated and is common in our personal lives, in all relationships, in business and in politics.
The classic case of resentment is currently being acted out in Putin’s unprovoked attack on Ukraine demonstrating that the political is the personal magnified! Putin’s personal resentment went back to 1991 when the global superpower USSR collapsed into 15 republics. Evidence of this is in a speech that he gave in 2005. He said “The greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century was the collapse of USSR.” He believed that something good was taken away and he has held onto that resentment, and since then he has set his path to restore Russia to its former glory by any means. My point is this, that when resentment goes unchecked the consequences can be catastrophic.

Natalia Langridge worries about her family in Ukraine and has started getting documentation together to help her father get to New Zealand. Photo: Jenny Nicholson.
Ukrainians work to bring family to Nelson Jenny nicholson Natalia Langridge says she doesn’t have normal days anymore. She’s up in the night checking the latest news from Ukraine and talks to family there twice a day. “It’s always in the back of my mind.” Her father lives in Kyiv, her mother and grandmother in Odessa. So far, she says, they are safe. Earlier this month the New Zealand government announced a new special visa category enabling Ukrainian Kiwis in New Zealand to bring family members here on a two-year working visa. Natalia has the paperwork together to apply for a visa to bring her father to New Zealand. She still needs to submit it but has completed the expression of interest and has all the documentation ready. “I hope dad will come,” Natalia says. “It’s a big decision and so far from home.” Natalia knows her mother won’t be coming to New Zealand because her grandmother Valentina is 90-years-old and not well enough to make the journey. “Friends have left with children walking 15kms to cross the border,” Natalia says. “I’m so grateful my friends are safe. But my grandmother wouldn’t make it. “She has heart issues and problems with her knees.” Natalia has had friends talk of train journeys where 20 people are crowded into space only big enough for four. It’s still very cold and they lack blankets and gear to lie on. “When they flee, they leave with just a suitcase,” she says. Natalia is close to her grandmother and worries about her. “My grandmother remembers WW2 and people with guns,” Natalia says. “It’s hard knowing she’s going
through another war.” Jorge, who did not want his last name used for his family’s safety, has just completed the visa process for a family member. The visa has been approved, but the relative is male and aged between 18 and 60 so is currently unable to leave Ukraine. He says these last weeks have been some of the worst of his life. “Our family member was in Kharkiv when it was being bombed,” Jorge says. “My wife spent two weeks sleeping only one or two hours.” His relative was living in the hallway of his apartment because it was too dangerous to be in a room with windows with the risk of getting shot. The relative went to the train station to attempt to flee Kharkiv but there were about a million people already waiting. Instead, he managed to get onto the back of a truck. Jorge’s wife has been sending food money to their relative. When he fled Kharkiv he only took his laptop and passport. Nelson MP Rachel Boyack says her office can help those families applying for visas to ensure they are processed quickly. “If they contact our office, we can get answers quite quickly and remove some of the pressure.” She says the challenge now is for those who have had visas approved to be able to leave Ukraine. “We are happy to talk with families but there is very little we can do to help people get out of Ukraine,” she says. “Women can leave if they can find safe passage but it is a lot more difficult for men.” While Jorge’s relative cannot come to New Zealand now, the visa is valid for nine months so he is hopeful he will be with them in time. For assistance call Rachel’s office on 03 539 0480.

Ageing Well Nelson Tasman Hospice Nelson Tasman Hospice is a community organisation that has been providing vital services to those with life-limiting illness and their families since 1987. Volunteers are an important element of the organisation, and they are in need of people to help enhance the services that Nelson Tasman Hospice provide. They are asking people in the community to give ‘the gift of time, to enable staff to focus on their specialist roles.’
Volunteering assists in supporting an organisation that has given so much to so many. Just over half of hospice patients are male and Nelson Tasman Hospice communications coordinator, Rachel Moffitt says they are always looking for more male volunteers. “The majority of our amazing volunteers are female. 52% of hospice patients are male, so it is great when we can arrange a male volunteer to talk with them.” Krisca Gould, Volunteer Programme Manager says, “We are always in need

Changing times for Changing Threads Kate Russell A changing arts scene in a year of Covid-19 disruptions has not stopped a prestigious Nelsonbased exhibition from forging ahead. The annual Changing Threads Contemporary Fibre Art Awards are now in their 13th year and have, over this time, stretched the notion of what fibre art can be. The national exhibition, organised by Arts Council Nelson, opened on Friday night to a scaled-back audience at the Refinery ArtSpace. Creative director Ronnie Martin says it’s considered the most prestigious exhibition of its type in New Zealand, and they were determined to not let Covid get in the way. “The logistics have been tricky, and we have tried to make it as separated as possible while still allowing people to come to see the show.” Award announcements have been filmed, as have many of the floor talks. “We felt it was important to keep the continuity going because there are a lot of artists who have been working towards this all year and there was no reason why we couldn’t have a show. “It gives people something to look forward to.” Ronnie says this year they received 135 entries, which were whittled down to 58 with just 42 making the final cut.
“Each year the show tends to take on a slightly different colour theme and this year we are seeing softer, more natural colours.” Award-winning Tasman artist Sarah Pumphrey is no stranger to the show, having entered numerous times since 2013. The Garin College arts coordinator says she has an “absolute passion” for textiles. “It’s the one show that I make a point of entering. Textiles are not often recognised in the art world. People think it’s just sewing, but it’s so much more. “I’ve used a huge spread of things over the years from sticks, threads, paper, glass, and metal. It opens people’s eyes to the possibilities within that realm.” This year Sarah’s entry, entitled ‘Tane and the Cross’ is made from a drop cloth, painted with acrylics, and stitched with cotton. “I’ve been interested in myth and history and where they collide what becomes myth and what becomes fact. “All my work for the last ten years has been based around colonial context.” Sarah says the best part of the show is seeing everyone else’s entries. “I walk in every year and think ‘how on earth did I get selected?’ The most incredible work always comes out.” Changing Threads is on at the Refinery ArtSpace, 114 Hardy St, until 23 April.

With the discovery of gold in 1864, settlers soon flooded the rivers and creeks of ‘The Coast’ faster than a downpour of that famous rain ever could. Various nationalities merging over their shared mineral pursuit. This in turn led to the demand of timber for building infrastructure. In order to claim these resources and survive, you
had to be hardy through and through. If you choose to visit Shantytown, be sure to take the heritage train ride and pan for your piece of West Coast gold from up at the gold claim. While riding on the train is leisurely, getting the knack of a gold pan isn’t quite so straight forward. Patience will pay dividends.

Volunteer firefighters a vital asset to the community Nelson Tasman has 18 Fire and Emergency stations in the district. Of those 18 stations, a huge percentage rely heavily on the assistance of fully trained volunteers and support crews. Our region is supported by 371 volunteer firefighters, and 42 career firefighters, providing specialist support to the area. The commitment and sacrifice involved is mammoth, from not just the service people themselves, but also the families, friends and employers that stand by them, supporting the people that dedicate their lives to helping others. They are a vital cog in the community wheel, working tirelessly to keep us safe, attending scenarios that would give people nightmares and educating and improving fire safety in the region. They are a humble bunch of extraordinary people, from all walks of life, that will say ‘we just love help-
ing people.’ But our service volunteers and crew are much more than good samaritans. They are the superheroes of our community, the rescuers, the knights in shining armour. They are part of the backbone of the district and amongst the first responders that will be there to help us in an emergency, no matter what. Darren Crawford previously served as a firefighter in Wellington for 22 years, then pursued a career as a paramedic. He now works in a newly developed role as the Nelson and Marlborough senior advisor readiness and recovery for Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ). He says the personal growth developed from becoming a volunteer for FENZ can be substantial. “It is like a big family that supports and helps each other without hesitation. FENZ provides top quality training to the National Qualifica-

tions framework which prepares you well for the role and can be a real advantage in everyday career progression.” “The job is a real privilege. To be able to help people when they need it the most is a challenging but extremely rewarding opportunity. Not only do you get real chances to save lives but you can help the community better understand the risks and actually work with the community to prevent tragedies from occurring.” Georgia Trillo completed her recruit's course recently, graduating to volunteer firefighter, and her pride for the service is clear from the outset. “My advice to anyone wanting to get involved is to just do it. It is definitely not something you should put off!” Moving away from her family in Dunedin, to Nelson, a few years ago Georgia says since joining the service in 2021 the support from her crew has been overwhelming. “The Richmond team have been 100% welcoming. Coming to a new town at 18 where I didn’t know
Richmond volunteer firefighter, Georgia Trillo. anyone, the support from them has been amazing, and they are like a big extra family to me.” The 21-year-old painter says her passion lies in helping people, so taking the step to become a volunteer seemed like a natural progression. "I just decided to do it. I wanted to get out into the community and make a difference, changing people's lives, and helping people as much as possible, that is what I love.” The commitment to volunteering is a big one but ‘hugely rewarding’, says Georgia. “It is not easy to be in a role like this. You have to give up a lot of your time and it is real-
ly important to have that emotional backing. My family have been amazingly supportive, my mum came to my graduation, and my nieces are so proud.” Having friends that understand the commitment a volunteer makes is fantastic, says Georgia. Pride in being able to show people in the community what they do resonates with Georgia - and is a passion that Robbie Thomson shares in his role as the Lake Rotoiti fire risk reduction officer. He has been volunteering at Rotoiti for 10 years and works with the community raising awareness of fire prevention and risk reduction strategies. “I believe stopping a fire before it starts is a vital component. We are surrounded by highly flammable kanuka and manuka forests, the most flamma-

I’m inspired by what happened at Ohau, that’s what I’m passionate about. It’s that whole idea that if you can prevent something from happening you should do it. It saves lives, hard-earned money and a lot of grieving, it is the best thing you can do. I enjoy seeing people take it on board and getting stuck in. It is quite fascinating once you get into it.” The lake community is in a unique position where less than half of the dwellings are occupied on a full-time basis.
“The remainder are holiday homes. Prior to an emergency situation, it is important to get evacuation plans in place and work with the landowners on minimising the risk of fire.” Robbie and the community have received the Kia Tika award from FENZ for the ongoing work the district has been doing. “It has been a community-wide effort and it is really nice for them to get that recognition. Hopefully we can inspire others to do the same.” In the last couple of years, the Rotoiti Fire Brigade has diminished, from a team of 18 down to 12. Robbie says the crew represent a strong contingent of female firefighters. “We have a good representation of women on the team, which is very valuable. Having a variety of solutions available is fantastic.” “But if people want to look at
getting involved, get in contact, we will gladly accept their help.” The FENZ merge of Rural and Urban services has only strengthened the brigades and provided great support to the families of volunteers, says Robbie. “We are now all on the same system. FENZ has resourced the brigades really well. With the new AMS communications in place the volunteers and their families are kept more in the loop of where we are heading when there is a callout, which is nice.” Darren Crawford says having a fundamental support network means an incredible amount to the team at FENZ. “We are incredibly grateful for the support shown to us by our communities, especially the families, employers and businesses that release our volunteers without notice to attend emergencies. Firefighters respond 365 days of the year, it’s not unusual for a firefighter to have to leave Christmas dinner to attend an emergency, this is a big ask and demonstrates the dedication and reward gained by being a FENZ volunteer.” “I can't say enough about the support whanau offers our volunteers. Our firefighters may be called away for long durations and almost always at short notice, normal commitments need to be juggled around, whanau also help to support emotionally after dis-
Valuing and caring for our environment and culture is essential and that includes our community! Safety, security, and well-being is the foundation of our community, and we support all Fire and Emergency volunteers that support this foundation, including members of our own team at Azwood Group.

Taylor makes her TV dreams come true JACK MALCOLM Taylor Curtis says she still remembers writing down that she wanted to be a sports commentator when her class was asked what they wanted to be when they grew up. Recently, she started a new job at the helm of the primetime sports show, The Crowd Goes Wild. Taylor knew this was the path she wanted to take after seeing Melodie Robinson on TV growing up, saying she instantly got to work learning everything about her. “I wanted to do everything she had done to get where she had been, knowing I wanted to be a sports commentator one day.” While studying media communications and psychology at the University of Canterbury, she reached out to Melodie to see if she’d be interested in covering her South Island Sevens competition. “I got Mel’s email and
reached out to her … she responded pretty quickly that she’s going down to present the sevens and ‘let’s catch up’.” Following that meeting, Taylor was flung headfirst into rugby commentary as Scotty’ Sumo’ Stevenson’s mentee for six months. “They liked me and asked if I would be keen to do a live cross at a Crusaders against Blues game, and I’d never done anything like that in my life,” she says. “I didn’t really know how they were going to structure it and I probably had two of the hardest names to say. My knees, I felt like they were buckling.” After what she called a ‘terrible’ first live cross, she was surprised to get a second chance. But from there it had been a whirlwind of commentary and analysis that culminated with The Crowd Goes Wild reaching out to offer her a job. “They’re like the cool kids at school. When they asked if I
wanted to join, I didn’t even have to think twice.” While it had been an “obstacle” to learn the ropes of all the different sports, Taylor says she’s always eager to get better at what she does. One of the highlights in her first month on the job was interviewing UFC fighter Dan ‘the hangman’ Hooker over a game of hangman. “I suggested to play hangman with the hangman, throwing that out being the new kid and thinking ‘no ones going to like my idea,’ but they loved it.” Being a part of The Crowd Goes Wild team had been like joining a family, she says. With most of the staff having a sporting background, working in a team comes naturally. “Everyone’s there to work together, not against each other. It doesn’t feel like work at all. “Anything’s possible; that’s the thing I love.”
Taylor Curtis (pictured with co-host Andrew Mulligan) says the first episode of The Crowd Goes Wild they filmed with her did not go to air because of technical difficulties, but she was over the moon after having made her first official appearance on the show. Photo: Supplied.

Stoke Eagles soar to men’s senior softball title Jack MalcolM Stoke Eagles Men have finished softball’s premier season on a high after winning the Nelson Softball Associations Championship Turner Trophy at Saxton Field on Saturday. In a back-and-forth game that saw the lead change hands multiple times, it was the Eagles who scraped home over the Saints Rams with a walk-off run in the bottom of the seventh to win 10-9. The final run came in a
bitter-sweet moment for the Rams, with a wild pitch seeing the runner on third base scamper home to win the game. With the Eagles winning the Spring and Summer League trophies, having the league MVP as captain and the competition’s top pitcher and batter in their ranks, it was always going to be a tall order for the Rams. Having lost a tense semifinal to the Eagles earlier in the day, a double elimination playoff format saw them bounce back in semi-
final two against the USC Cardinals to earn their spot in the final. Rams, who are from Blenhiem, were clearly exhausted after three games, but were happy with their efforts as they left the diamond having given the competition favorites a run for the money. In the women’s final it was a one-sided affair, with United Wairua putting in a dominant 15-5 winning performance over R&B United to take home the championship trophy.
The Stoke Eagles team had already locked up the Spring league trophy before backing it up with the Summer league trophy on Saturday.

Ocean Swimmers finish their season on a high
SUPER RUGBY TIPPING OUR LOCALS PICK THEIR WINNERS
Peter Gibbs After a summer of action, Hayden Squance and Sam Harman are this season’s top ocean swimmers. Swimmers celebrated the successful Rylock Sea Swim Series, held in Nelson every Thursday evening from mid-November, with a relay, barbecue and prizegiving last week. After 16 tough races, with the best 11 results counting towards points, Hayden had his name engraved on the Port Nelson trophy for the second time after winning the series five years ago. He had his win sweetened after having had the title snatched in the final race last summer by Oxford Bayley after leading throughout the season. Abbey Smale has been the top female swimmer in Nelson for the past two seasons, but her departure for study in Christchurch mid-season left the door open for a new wave of young swimmers. Emily Chadderton seemed to be the heir-apparent earlier in the season, but Sam came on with an unbroken run of four wins from mid-February, taking her to the top of the table by just a few points at season end. In addition to the overall male and female winners, awards were made in ten-year age bands for competitors in the longer swim each night, with non-wetsuit swimmers also being rewarded. In all age groups, from 30-39 to 70-79, the overall winner and many placegetters train together at Riverside Pool. The one exception was in M3039, where Haydn Lockie, who trains elsewhere, was declared the winner over Raphael Borborema, who is part of the elite squad in lane five at Riverside, after requir-

ACOB take cricket final JACK MALCOLM
It wasn’t enough, says Stoke Nayland captain Dylan Eginton. “We came in with high hopes and a good side. . . but we never really gave ourselves a chance. “Another 50 runs and who knows, it could have been a different game. But, full credit to ACOB, to go unbeaten and win every trophy is a mean feat.” ACOB captain Ollie JonesAllen said he was intimidated coming into the game, but he was proud of how his men met the challenge. “I was terrified of what we were coming across. “It’s an amazing achievement for the club. Just to show the depth of the club, with multiple players away and to beat a full-strength side is extremely pleasing.” He said the performance of Baird and Slabbert was “superb”, putting them right where they wanted to be coming into bat, which they had seen could be tricky.
Athletic College Old Boys have finished the season with an unbeaten record after filling the last spot in their trophy cabinet. Their dominance of premier cricket was on full display in the final, taking less than 19 overs to chase down StokeNayland’s 76 total. ACOB were dominant, bowling with a ruthless line and length that forced errors which they expertly capitalised on. Opening bowlers Liam Baird and Martin Slabbert took four wickets apiece as Stoke-Nayland could only muster a top partnership of 24 runs. The pair were clinical in their execution, allowing a combined 10 runs for their eight wickets to shut their opponents out. Martin’s 4/3 was the best figures of the young bowler’s career, made even more special by eclipsing the previous club record for wickets in a season, with 36.
“It was just a case of making sure to capitalise when there’s bad ones.” With a pitch that was moving a mile for the spinners and suiting the pacers, ACOB were just as clinical in their run chase, winning by seven wickets. Greg Chitty top-scored with 28 not out, the highest score in the game, but it was Jonty Raxworthy who had something extra to celebrate with his 22 runs seeing him take the club record for runs scored in a season with 587, with an average of 30.89 and a strike rate of 93. Ollie said he was very proud of both him and Martin for breaking the respective records, personally congratulating them on their fantastic year. Stoke-Nayland 76/10 after 31.3 overs (Sean Neal 20; Martin Slabbert 4/3, Liam Baird 4/7) defeated by ACOB 82/3 after 18.3 overs (Greg Chitty 28, Jonty Raxworth 22, Ronan Restieaux 22; Jared Silvester 2/21).

have a comfortable one goal halftime lead, which was extended by Eddie Sillars to seal the game in the second half. Ross’ second goal saw him outclass half of the Green Island defensive line, beating five players, before burying
the ball into the back of the net to have the large crowd of supporters and Suburbs bench rise to their feet in applause. It was a great start to the season for the team, says coach Ryan ‘Skippy’ Stewart. “We created a load of chanc-
es and were unlucky to only get three (goals).” He says the team dominated for large stretches, with a simple lapse in concentration allowing Green Island to get on the board. “It’s a good start. Our boys did quite well.”
Ross McPhie will be one to watch this season after having a dominant man of the match performance in Nelson Suburbs’ first game of the season.
