Berryfields to get CCTV JO KENT Security cameras with the latest number plate identification technology are to be installed at the Meadows development after a spate of thefts prompted local resident Pat Lithgow into action.

“I’d read about the theft of equipment from the builder’s sites in the Waimea Weekly, and subsequent stories on how successful cameras had been in cracking down on crime in Brightwater and in returning the Lord Rutherford statue, so I knew we had to

do something similar here.”

Pat moved from Brightwater to the new development two years ago and was part of the community group who installed CCTV there.

“Because of the size of the development, we would do a spine

along Berryfield Drive so if anyone else wanted to, they could put a camera in. Because it’s online it could be linked in and the police have access.”

He contacted several building companies around the Meadows to gain support for the idea.

“Jo Taylor from Richmond West Development Company rang me and said they were prepared to make an immediate donation of $5000.

“Three other companies have

The airspace over Nelson has been a hive of activity with the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) deploying to train in the area.

No. 14 Squadron arrived last Monday on Exercise Wise Owl which has seen pilots from RNZAF Base Ohakea take to our skies to train in the T-6C Texan and A109 light utility helicopter.

Pilot Officer Nathan Sycamore is one of those in training and says the time in Nelson has been exciting but challenging.

The pilots have been focussed on learning to operate from an unfamiliar airfield and space while practicing formation flying, which can see the planes fly within 10 feet of each other – an impressive sight from the ground.

“We’ve spent the first half of our training trying to avoid other aircraft and we’re now trying to fly within 15- 20 feet away from them, it’s really challenging but exciting.”

The cost to install the planned nine cameras along Berryfield Drive is coming in at $25,000.

“Richmond Community Patrol come through here at night for surveillance and they are now helping me organise the rest of the funding.”

Secretary and treasurer for the Richmond Community Patrol Mike Gill says he thinks it’s a great idea and is happy to help with grant applications for the cause.

“The thieves were really brazen as they were looting the builder’s equipment at dusk

and just driving off with it.”

They were also making off with white goods which had been installed in the new properties.

Flag fail for Richmond JO KENT To mark the passing of the Queen last week, a flag flew at half-mast on Richmond Town Hall, but its condition sparked outrage in one local resident who had previously asked Tasman District Council to get it replaced.

“I sent an email to council a few days after Anzac Day in April stating that the flag was in disrepair and it also hadn’t been flying at half-mast,” says the woman, who wishes to remain unnamed.

“They assured me that they would be ordering a new one and that was that.”

However, just five months later and the flag is, once again, in tatters with frayed edges and fading.

“It is very disappointing to see this tattered flag flying at halfmast for Queen Elizabeth, it’s very disrespectful. I’m not convinced it’s a new flag at all.”

She says whoever made the decision to fly the flag should have realised the “old rag” needed replacing when attaching it to the pole, especially when it is used to mark such historic occasions.

Communications officer for TDC Tim O’Connell for TDC says the town hall on Cambridge Street is managed by Sport Tasman under contract

He confirmed that while it would officially fall to Sport Tasman to organise it, the council are currently supplying the flag flown at the venue.

“We replace the Richmond town hall flag on an annual basis as the lifespan of regularly-flown flags dictates. This replacement is scheduled to happen prior to Anzac Day each year.”

This year, however, he says the flag was replaced post Anzac Day and the wear and tear has happened over a five-month period.

“With the sad death of Queen Elizabeth II, we appreciate that flying a flag in its best condition would befit the commemoration of Her Majesty’s life.

Therefore, we plan to have a new flag up this week, which will remain at half-mast until the end of the mourning period.”

The flag will then be taken down until it is required again which is likely to be Anzac Day or a Coronation if that occurs soon.

Local businesses struggle for staff $2.4 million

boost for Richmond’s cycleways

JACK MALCOLM Businesses around Nelson are feeling the bite of a labour shortage, with an inability to find suitable staff in multiple industries.

The shortage has left business owners and managers scratching their heads, with no end in sight.

“The labour market is very short. Everybody is saying the same stuff, we’re stuck here,” says Kimchi and Wasabi chef and general manager, Summer Kim. She says that the sushi store has struggled to find staff from entry-level positions to chef roles.

“We’ve been successful hiring two people, which is just enough to cover the staff shortage.”

The business has just finished outfitting a storefront in Richmond but doesn’t have the staff to open its doors.

Summer says they were hoping to train staff in their Nelson store while it was being built, but they are still trying to fill shortages in there, as well.

“Altogether, eight [staff] is a minimum [to run], but we’re also hiring for our Nelson shop. A big struggle is lots of CVs, but people not turning up to interviews.

“We had one person say the hours weren’t enough, and we tried to offer more but it still wasn’t enough.”

She says they have offered cash bonuses and sometimes give out vouchers, but still haven’t been able to find staff.

For other businesses, the bite of a shrinking labour market has been fatal.

SKT Tanning and Beauty Nelson have closed their doors,

JO KENT

A labour shortage has seen Kimchi and Wasabi have to delay opening their Richmond store due to a lack of staff, says chef and general manager Summer Kim, while others have had to close shop completely. Photo: Jack Malcolm. citing the inability to find staff despite running multiple advertisements.

A spokesperson for SKT says they operate 14 stores in Christchurch and would not be looking at opening a new store in Nelson at a different location unless the situation went “back to normal”.

The salon was looking to hire experienced beauty therapists, which requires training and qualification in the field.

The spokesperson says that while they had seen a similar drop in the Christchurch market, the labour pool had been sustainable because it is a bigger market than Nelson.

Cocktail bar Kismet is another offering bonuses, with owner Nick Widley saying they need staff ahead of a busy summer

season.

“We’ve seen every sector is crying out.

“It’s such a shame.”

The bar made news earlier this year for offering $500 tattoo vouchers for new staff after six months on the job, with Nick saying they’re still on the recruiting drive.

“It’s an ongoing campaign. It always has been, but it’s a bit more of an issue now.”

He says, if people didn’t fancy a tattoo there were different vouchers on offer and workers are paid a living wage as their starting salary.

The living wage, $23.65 an hour, is considered the minimum required to cover bills while still having money to participate in society.

All three businesses say the is-

sues started around the same time as waves of Covid-19 were shutting down the country.

Since then, they have struggled to find staff with a lack of international travellers cited as one of the reasons they haven’t had the same interest as in previous years.

MYOB’s 2022 Mid Market Report from over 500 owners and senior decision-makers in small to medium size businesses predicted the biggest challenge over the next 12 months was the shortage of skilled employees, with 49 per cent of respondents agreeing.

A different survey conducted for MYOB of 511 businesses in 2022 found 59 per cent had raised their wages over the past 12 months.

Major road safety improvements are on the way for Richmond with a $2.4 million funding boost from Waka Kotahi.

The funds will help to rapidly implement the beginnings of a complete network of safe walking and cycling spaces, which is the foundation of Tasman District Council’s Walking and Cycling Strategy.

Tasman Mayor Tim King welcomes the ‘Streets for People’ funding announcement and says he appreciates that Waka Kotahi has included funding for Richmond in this programme.

“For many years our council, and the wider local government sector, have been telling the Government and Waka Kotahi that the biggest limitation on making improvements to our road network is the ability to pay for it. So, to have them listen and now provide substantial funding and support is welcome.”

Over the next two years, the council will create and improve spaces for safer cycling on Salisbury Road, Wensley Road, Queen Street, Hill Street and Champion Road, linking places where people live with schools, commercial centres and the wider existing network of cycle trails.

The last New Zealand Household Travel Survey in 2018 showed nearly a third of all car trips are less than 2km, while earlier research by the Ministry of Transport showed that the percentage of primary school students walking or cycling to school has dropped from 54 per cent in the late 1980s to 34 per cent in 2015, reflecting the concerns people have about safety on our streets.

Tasman District Council transportation manager Jamie McPherson says the 2018 Census showed that in Tasman’s urban areas, about 19 per cent of trips to work and school were made by walking or cycling.

Kiwi dies in Nelson Lake JENNY NICHOLSON One of two great spotted kiwi relocated to Nelson Lakes in May has died.

Mahara, along with a male kiwi, was relocated from Gunner Downs, and had both settled quickly into their new territory. At the time of their relocation DOC staff hoped to bring 10 to 12 kiwi as part of an effort to increase genetic diversity of the region’s species.

A team of experienced kiwi catchers spent three days and two nights trying to catch kiwi but a combination of difficult terrain and unusual bird behaviour at the time made them unexpectedly tricky to catch. After catching two, it was decided to postpone catching further kiwi to next year.

DOC senior ranger biodiversity, Dr Melissa Griffin, says there are very set techniques to relocate the bird and none had been taken from that region before. Going forward, they are looking at other site options.

In early August, Department of Conservation (DOC) staff and Friends of Rotoiti volunteers realised Mahara, the female kiwi, wasn’t in her usual location and put in time searching for her. It became clear that the signal from her transmitter was coming from within the lake, likely at a depth of approximately 15 metres. Plans to get to the transmitter were delayed by

Queen Street Assault

A man in his mid-40s was seriously assaulted on Richmond’s Queen Street in the early hours of Thursday and was airlifted to Christchurch hospital with suspected spinal injuries. A police spokesperson says, after assessment the injuries were revealed to be minor. “Two men were taken to hospital, both with minor injuries. An investigation into the circumstances of the assault is ongoing. At this time no arrests have been made or charges laid.” CCTV footage has been requested.

“It is very sad,” Melissa says. “It is certainly not the outcome we hoped for.”

Staff checked her for injuries and any evidence of predation, but none were found, and she was in good condition when she died.

“This leads us to believe that she had a natural mishap, probably while trying to cross a rain-swollen side-stream and drowned. It is not the first time we have had roroa drown at Rotoiti.”

The male roroa, Nga Ararau, is still near where he was released and is showing normal activity levels for this time of the year.

ted kiwi to Nelson Lakes was in 2004 when 16 adult birds were relocated over a two-year span. This was to return a kiwi population in the area.

There are currently 22 in the region, and 40 founding birds are needed.

Further relocation will occur in autumn after breeding season when chicks can fend for themselves.

Melissa says roroa stay as a family group for a longer time than the North Island brown kiwi. She says they found four roroa in one burrow at one time which is something that wouldn’t be seen in North Island brown kiwi. When choosing kiwi to relocate, DOC staff look for those of breeding age who can look after themselves.

I am a family man and have lived in Richmond for most of my life. I have an extensive career in the health sector and with that I am passionate about Tasman, its people, economy and environment.

I understand local body policies, government acts and understand the importance of reducing rates increases and managing the currently growing debt. The growing cost of living is increasing pressure on our community, and the council needs to take this into account.

The Council yearly income is $179 million dollars, and we need to live within our means.

A change in leadership and direction is needed to implement better outcomes for both council and the ratepayers. We need to keep council assets in public ownership. Nelson Airport and Port Nelson are currently owned 50/50 by TDC and NCC. These businesses pay a total yearly dividend to TDC of $12.5 million dollars. This was previously used by TDC to keep the rates increase down but are unfortunately now used to pay for Dam cost overruns.

I encourage an open council bringing it back into the public arena, rather than being behind closed doors.

I respect the community

Half price bus fares have had a positive impact, according to Nelson City Council group manager infrastructure Alec Louverdis. Introduced in April, data showed an immediate increase in bus journeys. The Council is working with central government to introduce a continuation of half price fares beyond 31 January for Community Service Card holders. Bus travel was free for two weeks following the floods.

This was to encourage people to leave the car at home to assist in easing traffic congestion when Rocks Road was closed.

Rāhui lifts

A rāhui placed along the entire northern coastline of the Top of the South last month following significant weather events has been lifted. The rāhui lifted for Nelson Tasman yesterday. It was implemented on 20 August by the Iwi Emergency Management Rōpū, which works as part of the Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) in both Nelson/Tasman and Marlborough, with the support of the eight iwi of Te Tauihu.

It prevented the gathering of seafood and kai as well as swimming and entering the water, and covers all coastlines, river mouths, and floodwaters.

We need to work together with NCC to simplify procedures and ensure continuity of service throughout both districts.

Traffic issues desperately need to be addressed. We need to think differently regarding the arterial routes into Nelson, and reduce traffic gridlock across the region. It should also be acknowledged that in the next few years one third of all Tasman ratepayers will be over 65 years of age. With

this in mind it is important that bus services are fit for purpose.

Regarding Three Waters, I believe there needs to be a ‘pause’ to rethink strategies and identify if there is a better way to deliver the desired government outcome.

I believe the reform is ‘asset grabbing’. It will add bureaucracy costs where none was needed. TDC already has the highest water charges in NZ, and we most certainly do not need more costs.

We need a change in leadership. It is time for new mayor to take Tasman District forward. Let’s make things better. Contact Max Clark on 027 457 7575 or email me at medimax@xtra.co.nz

Spring pollen ‘deluge’ hits region KATE RUSSELL The Nelson region is amid a spring pine pollen “deluge” according to a national pollen forecaster.

David Fountain, who works in association with Metservice NZ, says the high levels are due to a combination of a wetter milder winter and “perhaps a good indicator of global warming”.

He says the recent weather has been “ideal” for dispersing pollen about, and, although the pine pollen is largely over now, it will keep recirculating for weeks. “Hay fever is rife in the sensitised population due to the variety and increasing amounts of inhalant allergens in the air,” he says.

“For the 25 per cent or so of allergy sufferers in the population, it makes for streaming eyes and noses, headaches, and sore throats.”

Hardy St Pharmacy owner John Handforth says they have seen a surge in the sale of hay fever products in the last month.

“There has been a significant increase in sales since mid-August. It seems very bad for sufferers at the moment.”

Nelson GP spokesman Graham Loveridge agrees that the Nelson Tasman region is a notoriously bad place for hay fever sufferers at this time of year. “While pine pollen can be less allergenic than some of the other pollens around there is a lot of it - you can see it on your cars and blowing off Rabbit Island in a south-westerly wind.”

Airforce planes take to skies FROM PAGE 1 The 26-year-old first started flying at the age of 16 which peaked his interest in a career with the New Zealand Defence Force.

His long-term aspiration is to fly the RNZAF new Hercules C-130J that will be arriving sometime in the coming years.

Flight Lieutenant Travis Dunn has been partnered with Nathan for the training stint in Nelson.

He says the students have come ahead in “leaps and bounds” since their arrival in the region.

“We’ve been really lucky with wonderful weather and the Nelson Tower has been super accommodating for the type of operations that they’re not used to.”

Travis started his career in the US Air Force in the early 2000s, and ended up in New Zealand after a tip from a friend.

“My friend was doing the check flights at the factory and one of the Texans came off the line. My friend said ‘that’s a really cool paint

“The guy said ‘this is for New Zealand, if you know anyone who wants to move there they’re looking for instructors’ and he came back and told that story and I thought ‘that sounds pretty cool’.”

He says the move across the world has been a great opportunity, although a lot different to what he was expecting.

“I thought it would be plug and play so I had to learn a whole lot, but hopefully I’ve

also been able to share as much as I learned.”

He says the biggest difference between the two air forces is where the students begin.

“To go through pilot training in the US you have to be a college graduate and you get pre-screened with an introductory flight training.

Here some of these kids are literally kids, 18-years-old with very little experience.

“The crawl-walk-run learning curve is steep here, it’s a very deliberate crawl at first

which I wasn’t used to, and then that transition.”

For Nathan, his focus is on getting through the 18 months piloting course, with the Hercules on his mind.

“It’s an extremely rewarding career, you’re constantly learning and striving to be a better pilot and the best you can be.”

The training ends tomorrow, with the aircraft and pilots returning home to Ohakea base to continue with their training, which will see them through to next year.

Gill Saunders WOWs again TRACY ALLAN Local creator Gill Saunders is a WOW finalist once again.

After a two-year Covid hiatus, designers from all over the world will descend on Te Whanganui-a-Tara for the iconic event, which opens 29 September and runs until 16 October.

Originally from the United Kingdom, Gill Saunders’ background in furniture and textile design has served her well, competing in WOW since 2002.

She is also a former winner, but not only that, a Supreme Award Winner.

Formally trained in surface patterns, with a stint working on movies as an armoury assistant in Sydney, she returned to the UK to retrain in theatre design, moving into theatre, TV, and film.

“I was the first female stagehand Grenada Films hired in 1993.”

Gill says she has entered almost all of the categories over the years.

“I normally work to the open category and then change it once the themes have been announced.”

The creation process can take anywhere from 6 to 9 months.

“Normally I start before the show and then I go to the show, get completely inspired, and end up changing it,” she says.

And where does she find her inspiration?

“Everywhere really, I can read a book and see a sentence.

“I can see a pair of shoes, and in my head I can see the whole garment that goes with them,” she says.

“It’s exhausting. I can’t shut it off.”

Gill Saunders’ 2018 WOW entry ‘Underling’. Photo: Supplied.

She will be attending this year’s event.

“I always try to go to the event,” she says. “You are making it on a mannequin and then it’s transformed into a living, breathing, moving thing, so the designers only do half the work. The models embody the work.”

Looking back over previous entries Gill smiles and says she doesn’t plan on stopping any time soon. “l still have one more garment to complete a set of three.”

Unable to describe her garment for this year’s entry, as it is in the process of being judged, she saysthe inspiration comes from shoes, fabric, and travelling overseas.

Flower show comes back to Brightwater JO KENT This Saturday is the first time in two years that the Brightwater Flower Show has been able to go ahead, but this year the wet weather has put a slight dampener on things.

Vice president for the society, Marie Dalley, says that most garden flowers have suffered significant damage with all the rain.

“I’d normally have tulips and other lovely flowers by now, but the

rain has really washed out many of the blooms we’d normally expect to exhibit in the show.”

Despite the setback, she says she’ll still be entering her prized freesias into the show.

“These are very special to me as they all stem from bulbs my mother used to have in our garden when I was growing up as a young girl.”

The freesias have won her awards in previous flower shows and despite having been moved from

house to house over the years, have really taken off in her Stoke garden.

“We went from Brightwater to Nelson, then Levin and Dunedin and finally back here, but we’ve always taken the bulbs with us.

“I’m so glad we did as they are just beautiful.”

Secretary and treasurer for the society Cheryl Thibodeau says a flower show can be intimidating for someone who has never exhibited before.

“To encourage people to give it a go, we brought in the new section. It’s open to anyone who has never entered before and there are six different categories for daffodils from their garden.”

Another new feature of the schedule that has changed this year is the addition of art, painting and photography in the Hobbies & Craft sections.

“We have invited other garden clubs and groups to have a promotional table at the show this

time round to help with advertising their organisation.”

She says many clubs have found the last couple of years tough on membership, with events and meetings being postponed or cancelled.

“So, we felt this was a good way to all help each other.”

Entries for the show must be submitted by 15 September to cherylthbd5@gmail.com or 027 5423430. The event starts at 9am, entry is $4 and free for kids.

Kai Rescue is used to helping the community but now they are the ones in need.

Kai Rescue’s warehouse has suffered a major electrical failure and their temporary solution of using a generator is far from ideal, so they are looking for new premises.

The food rescue organisation is part of the Nelson Environment Centre and works to minimise food waste in the community by collecting food from supermarkets, growers, manufacturers, and other food outlets.

The food, which is good enough to eat but is either surplus or non-saleable, is collected by the team.

They have partnered with over 60 food recipient groups in Nelson Tasman who then distribute the food to individuals and families in need.

Nelson Environment Centre chief executive officer, Anton Drazevic, says they don’t know whether the fault was caused by water from the recent floods but it does mean finding a short-term or long-term solution has become urgent.

“Over 30 per cent of food manufactured in New Zealand ends up as waste,” Anton says.

“The food we now collect from supermarkets was destined for landfill. We intercept it and distribute it.”

There is very little food stored onsite with Anton saying it’s “food in, food out”.

Because of this, they don’t need a huge space and say 80 to 100 square metres would meet their immediate need, but a bigger space would also suit.

Anton says, in the short term they are happy to rent and are in talks regarding a couple of potential temporary locations.

In the long term, they would like to buy a facility, with money that has been given specifically for that purpose.

They would like the long-term location to have space to hold community meetings.

“We have $200,000 to $250,000 costs a year to operate,” Anton says.

“That’s rent, vehicle, and two paid staff. Everyone else who helps are volunteers.”

With about three and a half tonnes of food being collected and redistributed each week, feeding around 2500 people, the warehouse is a busy place.

Nelson MP Rachel Boyack has had a long association with Kai Rescue and has been asked to help find long-term premises.

“Kai Rescue stops a lot of food going to landfill,” Rachel says.

“And it gives food to people who are doing it tough. It’s amazing to see what they are achieving.”

She says their impact on the environment is significant, with local produce meaning low miles from farm to consumer, along with the decrease of waste going to landfill.

A social worker who took a box of vegetable mushrooms from Kai Rescue to an elderly gentleman told Rachel that the man cried when he saw what was in the food box because he hadn’t had mushrooms for months.

“That’s the difference Kai Rescue makes in people’s lives.”

Anton and Rachel are calling on anyone in Nelson who has a suitable property to sell or lease, to contact them.

Hope School Fair returns JO KENT With just under two weeks to go until Hope School Fair, the organisers are busy preparing several thousand plants to sell on the day.

Plant team leader Amy Robertson says they generally sell a range of plants - from trees, to shrubs, natives and seedlings, which all contribute greatly to the success of the fair.

“Last year the plant stall raised over $5600 for the school, despite the Covid restrictions having a dramatic effect on visitor numbers.”

This year, there are no restrictions in place and the team expect to improve on sales as traditionally the plant stall has always been the biggest earner for the school.

“As well as donations from

local nurseries, we also receive lots of extra help from other parents and friends of Hope school, who kindly give us plants from their own gardens. It all comes down to lots of donated hours and lots of community fun.”

Visitors can expect a fun-filled day come rain or shine with free entry for all.

Organiser Merophy Hyslop says some of the highlights will be an agility show performed by ducks as well as wood chopping and sheep shearing demonstrations.

“We’ll have all the usual activities for kids including a bouncy castle, trampoline bungees, laser tag and an animal section with pony rides and a petting area.”

The silent auction will run on Trade Me again this year and will be available to view the

week before the fair.

“Doing it this way means people can have a look before the big day, plus it opens up the bidding to a wider audience.

Last year we ended up shipping some items to Auckland.

That would never have happened without taking the auction online.”

The school usually raises around $35,000 and last year made $12,000 due to having a limit of just 300 visitors.

“I’m surprised we made as much as we did, but this year we are really excited to be back to normal and open the event up to everyone. We’ve been planning it for over six months so it really is a labour of love, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.”

The fair is on Saturday 24 September from 11am to 2pm at Hope School.

Richmond candidates to face a grilling Richmond’s candidates for Tasman District Council will face a grilling at the Waimea Weekly Meet the Candidate event at the Richmond Town Hall next Tuesday night.

The event will be hosted by current Nelson city deputy mayor and former Richmond ward councillor Judene Edgar and will give each candidate four minutes to discuss their views and what they’d like to achieve for the town and the region. This will be followed by questions submitted by readers.

Voting packs for the Tasman District Council local body elections will start to be delivered to homes from this weekend with election day on October 8.

Tasman District operates a ward system, with four councillors elected from Richmond, three from Waimea-Moutere, one from Lakes-Murchison, three from Motueka and two from Golden Bay. This event is

for those standing in the Richmond ward only.

Judene, who served three terms as a Tasman District councillor before becoming deputy mayor of Nelson City Council, says she’s looking forward to the event.

“With two Richmond councillors not re-standing, it’s important that the community have the opportunity to find out more about the people wanting to represent them. Similarly, for the two councillors re-standing, people need the ability to check on what they’ve achieved, what their commitment has been, and if they’ve been contributing as promised.”

What can we do? Make better choices! Choices fuelled by better values and beliefs.

And we need help to do this. Jesus Christ has been transforming the lives of hardened criminals, and not so hardened, for thousands of years. Jesus was crucified with two thieves. One asked Jesus to remember him, and Jesus took him home to heaven that day.

We must all ask for help from Jesus, along with embracing the values he teaches, if we are to live well.

Washbourn – a dedicated doctor ROBYN PARKES

Hubert Oscar Washbourn, a dedicated doctor and a man greatly esteemed by the community, died at the young age of 40 years after contracting pneumonia.

The outpouring of grief from the community paid tribute to the stature of the man and the respect that was due to him.

Hubert was born in 1886, the youngest son of Henry and Clara Washbourn of Port Nelson. The family roots laid deep in Nelson soil with his grandfather, William Everly Washbourn, emigrating to the Nelson province in 1851.

He was educated at Nelson College and on leaving school took up a position on the staff of the Bank of New Zealand in Nelson City.

After a short time in this job, Hubert decided to take up studies for a medical degree at Edinburgh University. On achieving

his ambition, he spent time in Durham gaining some experience as a doctor and acted as a clinical assistant at Bangour, a psychiatric hospital modelled on a village system of patient care.

While in Edinburgh Hubert married Constance Ward on 24th October 1913.

The couple returned to Nelson in June 1914, and in 1919 Hubert commenced practicing at Richmond. It was during this year that he purchased Hillcrest Private Hospital, on the corner of Wensley Road and Waverley Street.

This property, once the home of John Tinline, a large building of 14 rooms and commanded beautiful views of Richmond, the surrounding countryside, and Blind Bay. Hillcrest became a wellknown and busy hospital where Hubert carried out his surgery and where he established a specifically-equipped building for electrical treatment, mostly for

Hillcrest 1926. Photo: Supplied. patients who were crippled with rheumatism.

It was baptism by fire for Hubert in his new practice as he oversaw the setting up of the temporary hospital at Richmond Park during the flu epidemic of 1919.

Hubert quickly made a reputation for himself as being unassuming, hardworking, and dedicated to his work and his patients.

His services were in great demand in all parts of the district, and the calls on his time often left him overworked and overstrained.

The calls for support and medical attention saw him often travelling lengthy distances at all times of the day and night, sometimes in the worst weather, with bad roads and swollen streams to contend with.

In early July 1927, the still young doctor became ill.

Being devoted to his patients, he continued to work all that last week, carrying out his duties, and this weakened his body to be able to fight the illness. His zeal for service and his complete unselfishness made him utterly unmindful of his own condition.

Doctor Hubert Washbourn lost his battle with pneumonia, dying on the 10th of July, leaving behind his wife, three children and a community in shock. The funeral was a large one with over one thousand attending.

Over one hundred vehicles were in the funeral procession and floral wreaths filled several cars.

In the months following his death the residents of Richmond looked for an appropriate memorial.

On the 17th of November 1928 the unveiling of the Washbourn Memorial Gates at Richmond Park took place.

National spokesperson sees communities struggling JENNY NICHOLSON National’s spokesperson for local government Simon Watts says both local government and communities are hurting and struggling under the burden of reforms.

In Nelson last week, Simon Watts says he is on the road a lot, and hearing the same message in different communities.

“There has been an overwhelming amount of reform that the government has underway in the local government sector,” Simon says.

“Most people are familiar with Three Waters, but we also have the local government review, civil defence changes, and a significant piece of work around RMA which is about to hit at the end of year.”

He says that is all on top of disaster management in the Nelson region following the floods, Covid-19, and the cost-of-living crisis across the country.

Simon acknowledges that while many don’t like Three Waters, there is a need for some change.

“Everyone acknowledges that water structure can and should

be better in the future,” he says.

National has articulated some principles on their alternative model and are working in the background on details Simon says.

“We would repeal the four-entity mega model and the 50/50 co-governance elements.”

He says National’s alternative model would ensure assets remain locally-owned, and they would also put in protection to ensure assets are not privatised.

“We very much support the water regulator,” Simon says.

“But we don’t believe a onesize fits all model across New Zealand will be sustainable to improve water infrastructure.”

Simon says they are listening to the select committee process and taking on feedback.

“I don’t believe the Government are genuinely listening to the select committee process because to date they haven’t made any material changes,” he says. “There were a large number of people who requested to be heard in person.”

National pushed for more an increase in the number of those who could speak, but Simon says Labour used their

National’s spokesperson for Local Government Simon Watts says communities are facing an overwhelming amount of legislation. Photo: Jenny Nicholson. majority to vote National down on that. When National asked for a longer select committee time, as they felt things were being rushed, again it was voted down.

He says that conversations around water reform were initiated under the last National government.

“Our expectation was that conversations such as this should be done in a bipartisan manner because of the importance they have on our local

communities.”

With the bill still in front of the select committee, Simon thinks it won’t be finalised until late this year or early next year.

“It is our view that the Government won’t be very far down the track in terms of physically making changes, but we are very aware of the pressure everyone is under,” Simon says. “That’s why we are working hard to ensure we can make a smooth transition to a model that will be sustainable.”

He says that National will be very clear on their intentions so that when they are in government it will be a ‘no surprises’ approach.

“We would rapidly assess where reforms are at and how to transition, but we are confident we can minimise disruption and the implications on staff and people in local government.”

Simon reiterated that the National Party will be very focused on infrastructure. He believes for Nelson, roading and transport are significant enablers of economic growth and productivity.

“It is critically important that we have transport corridors in place that are resilient.”

He sees the Abel Tasman as a key driver of regional economic growth.

“Ensuring those tourism aspects are resilient to the issues is part of the plan,” he says. “The Abel Tasman is one of the reasons people come to visit this region.”

He says work on the track is important not only in terms of response to the current situation, but also preventative work.

List MP Maureen Pugh, who was hosting Simon in the Nelson Tasman region, says candidate selection is starting to roll out throughout the country.

She says while there have been some people who indicate they are interested in standing in Nelson, the local electorate team would like more choice.

“The more that stand, the more choice the electorate team has,” she says.

Maureen says they will advertise, but if someone is thinking of standing, she would be happy to talk with them about what is involved.

“It’s a great time to enter the party now,” she says. “Once selected, the person will have support networks wrapped around them.”

“Growing up in Tasman, I have experienced the best of our community’s spirit and talents.

We need to draw on this, along with the community’s strengths, to work with Council on the many challenges we face, be it balancing rising rates against critically needed infrastructure investment or in preserving our environment.

Together, with the council serving you, our community, we can collectively face these issues.

It’s this practical, community minded approach that has shaped my ideas and values and is why I want to give back and to be your Councillor.

It’s become clear over recent years that the status quo is no longer viable.

We have a chance to be bold and innovative, tempered with fiscal responsibility and pragmatism, harnessing the knowledge and talent in the district to help us achieve that.

I believe in being financially responsible, environmentally conscious and in finding sustainable solutions and ideas.

I offer you my commitment, passion and integrity. I will be accessible and open to hearing your voice and will make it my objective to have it heard around the council table.”

Mark takes medicine to Fiji JENNY NICHOLSON Local Mark Jenner left his orchard for a few weeks recently and returned to sea.

Mark skippered the YWAM Koha on its voyage from New Zealand to Fiji, it’s first trip as a medical and dental ship. He, along with the others on board, are all volunteers working together to provide medical and dental care to those who may not have easy access to it.

They had originally planned the trip for two or three years ago, but Covid-19 delayed it until this year. A storm further delayed their departure, but they eventually arrived in Suva after six-days at sea.

From there, Mark says there is a lot of networking with local medical staff, figuring out what was needed.

Along with accommodation for the volunteers, the ship has two air-conditioned containers outfitted as full dental surgeries with x-ray, sterilisers, dental seat and all the usual equipment. Dental care happens onboard the ship, while doctors and nurses go ashore to provide care.

The ship is usually taken to remote areas where people don’t have access to a lot of dental or medical care. After two weeks in Suva, they travelled north to Labasa.

Mark says there are a lot of tooth extractions and people they see often have high needs.

“One lady came on board and her tooth was so abscessed that the dentist thought if it hadn’t

YWAM dentist. Photo: Supplied. been treated then, the woman may have died as the infection spread,” Mark says. “They managed the extraction and gave her antibiotics. The dentist was shocked at how bad it was.”

Mark says the work is very rewarding.

“Everyone on board volunteers so it creates a really nice atmosphere where you are all there for a reason other than just yourself.”

He sees the impact they can have on low-income areas and how those working can do a lot of good.

There are plans for a third container to outfitted for surgeries.

Along with transporting medical and dental volunteers, the ship

transported 48 boxes of medical equipment that they were able to gift to local health clinics in Fiji.

Medical and dental outreaches happen for two weeks, before a week’s break for staff changes and the next outreach.

Mark is due to return to the ship in a few weeks and is looking forward to being part of the team.

The 54-year-old ship is named YWAM Koha, after being gifted to YWAM by a Tauranga businessman who had previously used the vessel to take supplies from New Zealand to the Pitcairn Islands every three months.

Last year 4,100 men were diagnosed with Prostate Cancer in New Zealand, 700 died from the disease and it is getting worse each year. Prostate Cancer is the third highest cancer killer in NZ and now kills more men than Breast Cancer does women. Bill Fergie is the contact for Prostate Cancer Foundation Nelson and says latest research proves that organised screening for Prostate Cancer will save many lives that may otherwise be lost. “The unnecessarily large cohort of men who live with what is found to be terminal and incurable Prostate Cancer strongly advocate for free screening programmes to join already existing programmes for Breast, Cervical, Bowel and, hopefully very soon, Lung Cancer.”

Nelson/Tasman has a very active Prostate Cancer Support Group and welcomes men who have been diagnosed to learn how to best survive and manage their conditions. “The Foundation’s support networks are mostly made up of men who have had prostate cancer. The group draws on all the resources of the National Prostate Cancer Foundation

and meets monthly with the sole purpose of guiding and helping members.”

Bill has terminal prostate cancer and, because of late diagnosis, has suffered from many adverse side effects from treatments which he would not have had with an early diagnosis. His group gives men support and advice so they can make the best treatment decisions and how to minimise side effects of treatments and help extend their lives.

“In the last 12 months we have taken significant steps to promote the all-important lifesaving Government-funded screen-

Dan Robinson

ing program with the Ministry of Health and Cancer Authority.”

Funds raised for Blue September will help fund local welfare grants for counselling and physiotherapy for men with Prostate Cancer, run support group meetings, educational promotions, and support for men and their families. Nationally it will help fund research and trials for better treatments, national support and awareness programmes. Bill says, “We also run a very successful Prost-fit Exercise Group to help men recover from treatment, slow down disease advancement, and encourage camaraderie, which is badly

lacking, but so important to us oldies.” Exercise is proven to lessen chances of getting cancer and significantly aids better survival/ recovery after treatment. “There are so many upsides to Prost-fit and no downsides. Leigh Dalzell our very well qualified trainer does a terrific job and makes sure the men are strongly supported.”

“Our achievable aim is to save 350 lives each year from Prostate Cancer. Early detections usually lead to cures and late detections very often do not. All men over 50 and those over 40 with prostate cancer in the immediate family absolutely should get simple, painless annual checks. If the GP doesn’t offer, men should ask!”

Stories of community spirit in a state of emergency It has been a difficult few weeks with hundreds of people evacuated from their homes, communities cut off, and a legacy of damage that will take years to repair.

But in all this trauma was a consistent theme of connection, enabling us to pull through the worst.

Here we take a look at some of the ways health connected throughout the response.

When State Highway 6 between Blenheim and Nelson closed due to slips and flooding, many patients, whānau and staff literally found themselves on the wrong side of the flood.

Our administration and Incident Management Team (IMT) kept appointments going when access between Wairau and Nelson hospital sites was disrupted.

The administrative team not only called patients to reschedule appointments or change them to Telehealth – they also called patients to reassure them that their appointments or surgeries would go ahead as planned.

IMT held a morning tea to thank them for their efforts.

Te Piki Oranga (Māori wellness services provider) kaimahi made over 1,000 calls to potentially flood-affected whānau; supporting with kai, medications, and health concerns. Closed roads, increased traffic, and heavy rains meant that many were unable to go to pharmacies for time-sensitive, specialised medications.

To combat this, Te Piki Oranga sought emergency authorisation to be able to collect medications on behalf of whānau by working with doctors and pharmacists.

How are you?

Experiencing a disaster can be overwhelming. It’s normal for you and your whānau to feel upset, anxious and physically drained during and after an emergency event.

A variety of reactions are normal – everyone reacts differently in unfamiliar or upsetting situations. Some people may never have a reaction. Others may have delayed reactions that show up days, weeks or even months after the disaster happens.

Free health advice when you need it

From floods to fog, our flight nurses’ priority is to safely get patients to the specialist services they need, all over the country. The repatriation of discharged patients who had received treatment in Nelson Hospital, but were then cut off from Wairau due to flooding and road closures, was a new challenge.

Understanding the biological reason behind why we’re feeling a certain way can help us process and work through unfamiliar emotions. During scary or surprising events, our brains react chemically – releasing adrenaline, triggering a ‘fight-or-flight’ response.

This response is our natural alarm system – our body telling us to be alert and ready for action. It’s there to help us, but afterwards, we can feel shaky, queasy or on-edge, and it can make it hard for us to concentrate.

Sometimes post-disaster stress and sadness can be ongoing. It can affect your physical and mental health and wellbeing.

In these situations it’s important to connect with others, find positive ways of coping, and reach out for help.

Keeping up to date with your vaccinations is really important, even if you’ve already had COVID-19.

You can catch COVID-19 more than once. Boosters help protect you from getting very sick from COVID-19, ending up in hospital, and even death.

Keeping up to date with your vaccinations is one of the most important things you can do to help protect yourself, your whānau and your community.

A booster will provide extra protection from a previous vaccination and help your immunity be stronger and last longer. And, by staying as healthy as you can, you help reduce pressure on our communities, businesses and the health sector.

If you’ve had COVID-19, you can get your booster three months after you tested positive. Make sure you are up to date with your COVID-19 vaccinations.

Prices Waimea Ahurei dominate netball finals JACK MALCOLM

to within five points in the final 15 minutes after trailing by 12 points coming into the quarter, but they couldn’t make their comeback stick.

It was a theme of the game for Jacks, Ahurei were quick to take back control and pounced on a small mistake to reassert their dominance.

Every time Jacks started getting a sniff that momentum was swinging back in their favour, they came up against a brick wall.

From finals MVP Chelsea Reed at GA right through to Dayna Kerr at GD, the whole team had one of their best performances when it counted the most for Ahurei.

They came out with a pace that looked unsustainable but were able to carry it through the full sixty minutes to be the de-

Prices Waimea Ahurei are champions once again after a convincing 52-40 win over Jacks OPD. In front of a packed Saxton Stadium, Ahurei dominated from the outset as they raced out to an early four-goal lead, never trailing their opposition.

Despite their previous encounters being back-and-forth affairs, Jacks couldn’t find the responses to a surging Ahurei during the final match on Saturday.

Right through the court, Jacks were being outplayed and coming face to face with a smothering defence that stifled any attack they tried to mount.

Jacks had fight in them right to the end, bringing the game back

design

serving winners of the NBS premier grade competition.

In the first premier grade final in two years, with Covid-19 playing foul in previous seasons, and Prices Waimea Ahurei turned up with clear intentions of winning back-to-back titles.

Jacks were dealt a blow early, with Ani-Marie Waitai lasting less than 10 minutes before she had to leave the court.

She has been battling with a calf injury through the second half of the season, and while it was not expected she would play a full game, it was an early blow.

The tables were evened minutes later when Ahurei lost their GS and captain Shar Lowe to injury.

Her loss left big shoes to fill, with Kelsey Whiting having to slot into the position after having been called up from the club’s

third-string team.

Despite having to play almost the entire game, Kelsey excelled with 22 points from her 28 attempts, with her confidence growing as she started taking more and more difficult shots.

For Jacks, Chloe Webb was outstanding with 22 points from 28 shots, as well as being a crucial part of their offensive patterns.

She was awarded the Devine Fitness trophy for most improved player and the Charles Cowman cup for the most valuable premier player.

Jacks coach Robyn Leonard says they didn’t have the answers for Ahurei on the day.

“They just outplayed us right from the word go.

“Their defence was very good and shut our attack down.”

She says they weren’t able to find

their combinations with their backs against the wall.

“We know Prices can pull it out in big games, and that’s what happened. We’ve had an amazing season. Look at all the cups we got, but you want the big one.”

Ahurei coach Mandy Whiting says it was their best game of the season. “They brought it at the right time. We know as a team we can play like that, but we hadn’t all season.”

She says, the way the team responded to losing Shar early highlighted their grit.

“To have a shooter (like Kelsey) who hasn’t come on for us much this season. . . and now it’s like ‘wow, she’s in a final’.

“I’m gutted for Shar, but that could have changed the game.

“But, every combo checked out, and they all did their jobs.”

Massive funding boost for local rugby JACK MALCOLM Tasman rugby clubs are set for a cash injection as New Zealand Rugby opens applications for $7.5 million in funding for community rugby.

The Nelson Tasman region is expected to account for $250,000 between its clubs, who can apply for Short-term Stakeholder Investment (SSI) ranging from $10,000 to $40,000 based on player numbers.

With an application process to follow, local clubs say they do not yet know the finer details, but welcome the boost in funding.

Clubs can apply for funding for a range of projects to help boost the game - from improving their facilities to funding implementations of new strategies to garner more players, such as a women’s

programme.

A club with between 15-199 players will be eligible for a $10,000 grant, 200-399 for $20,000, 400599 for $30,000 and clubs with over 600 players are able to apply for up to $40,000.

Player numbers are averaged over the last five years, with 2020s data excluded because of Covid-19, and include all registered players of a club from juniors through seniors.

“We were expecting something from the Silver Lake deal, but we were not sure how much or what it was going to be,” says Marist treasurer Libby Cuccurullo.

“It will make a massive difference. To get a windfall of $20,000 or more would be a great boost,” she says.

Waimea Old Boys chairman Paul Jensen says while they haven’t

yet digested what the news will mean, they know it’s going to make a big difference.

“Any financial input into the development and growth of the game is most welcome.”

Tasman Rugby Union chief executive officer Lyndon Bray says the coming months are crucial if they want to make the most of the funding.

“The next couple of months are really critical. This is the time to act.”

He says that while millions of dollars sounds like a lot of money, it could easily be chewed up in three to four years if they’re not smart about their spending.

“It’s really important that we get this next phase right.”

He says the union is in a good position, suring up their finances during the last five years that will mean they don’t have to use funding to pay debt, like some other provinces around the country.

The funding also allows clubs to play their part in the future of the game, with Lyndon saying it gives them confidence in how they will fund their strategies.

“Like most unions and most sports around the country, we

need to restimulate the game,” he says.

“What Silver Lake helped us do is prioritise the strength of the community, and how important it is that we partner. It’s a ‘we’ approach.”

The union has just completed its key framework review and produced a five-year plan, with Lyndon saying they expect to be able to share what they’re doing in the next six-to-eight weeks.

Fighter travels to Australia to face new opposition JACK MALCOLM

The emphasis for the U14 Surf Nippers is ‘serious fun’ while gaining confidence in and around the water. In addition, all nippers will learn valuable skills that lead on to Lifeguard Services During the past year, our focus has been on IRB racing, so we’ve had teams involved in the nationals, which is great.” Senior Surf involves all the beach events like beach flags, beach sprint, surf-swim events, board racing, ski races and combined events like Iron Man. “In New

Zealand there’s water everywhere, so Surf Sport is ideal because we teach people skills to keep them safe in the water or to help others.” NSLSC also has lifeguarding courses coming up. For more details, visit www.nelsonslsc.org.nz or email nelsonslsc@ gmail.com'

Christine ‘Gatling Gun’ Gillespie says she’s fought almost everyone she can in the New Zealand scene, after arriving home from fighting in Australia’s Golden Gloves event.

Having won back-to-back national titles in the under-54kg division, she travelled abroad for experience against different opponents.

Having just signed the contract for her first professional fight later this year, she says it was perfect timing to get international experience under her belt.

“The whole point was to get experience. It was the next step up for me.

“It’s the biggest tournament I’ve ever been to. There were 490 entries with two rings running fights all day.”

Christine was fighting in a division for boxers with more than 15 amateur bouts, called ‘best of the best’.

She won her first fight handily after landing a powerful body shot early in the first round and rounding it off with a “re-

Her second fight, against a more experienced and taller opponent, was a tough split decision loss.

She says with the trip more about getting in front of fighters she hadn’t seen before, she’s happy with how she performed.

With her silver gloves medal around her neck, she laughs and says she’ll get one back on her next time.

Christine travelled with a team from Woolston after her coach, Barry Galbrath, was unable to make the trip.

“They took me under their wing. My coach was impressed I had the balls to go without him.”

Having nationals coming up at the start of October, her sights are firmly set on earning a third national title.

She’ll then round off the month with her first professional fight in Christchurch on the 29th of October.

Amateur boxing allows up to five professional fights on a resume before you have to graduate, with Christine saying she’s excited to get her first taste of the big time.

“Next year the plan is to play between the two (divisions) and ideally I’d like to go to Australia again.”

Her pro debut will be six two-minute rounds, which she says she’s started incorporating into her training.

As for her amateur career, she’s eager to try and make the New Zealand team for an Olympic Games appearance.

The Blenheim-based Rangers have finished their season on another high by adding the Prices Charity Cup to the premier grade title already in their trophy cabinet.

A late goal by FC Nelson’s Jed Thorp was all the home side could muster in the 4-1 loss at Saxton’s field after the team controlled large portions of the second half.

Loose forward Dylan Irvine has been named in the U19 New Zealand squad. He is the only Tasman player named in the squad after Noah Hotham and Macca Springer were unavailable for selection.

The squad travels to South Africa later this month for a series of four fixtures against representative teams from the Stormers, Sharks, Lions and Leopards.
