Riwaka claim double win in epic battles SARA HOLLYMAN Calls of ‘Up the Waka’ echoed inside the Motueka Recreation Centre as supporters found themselves with double reason to celebrate on Saturday night.

Riwaka Rugby Football Club player, Tama Stephens, was part of the team that staged an epic second-half comeback to win its first division two rugby title in six years, beating Stoke 33-29 at Greenmeadows on Saturday afternoon.

Opting not to play in the game, he then had just hours to prepare for another battle – stepping into the ring on the corporate card at Saturday night’s Fight for Rangatahi at the rec centre.

The crowd erupted as Tama walked out to take the ring in his fight against Matt Allan and the din only got louder as he landed some heavy hits on his opponent during the three two-minute rounds.

Awarded the win from the officials, his supporters then performed a moving haka in

Water Conservation Order recommended for Te Waikoropupū Springs SARA HOLLYMAN The Environment Court has recommended that a Water Conservation Order (WCO) be put in place for Golden Bay’s Te Waikoropupū Springs and its associated water bodies.

The order comes with tough conditions on nitrate levels and irrigation for the surrounding area that feeds the freshwater springs – the largest in the southern hemisphere.

The court found that all parties involved, which included Tasman District Council, local iwi, farmers, Save our Springs Alliance, and Friends of Golden Bay, agreed that a WCO was needed to protect the springs. Their

differences were about how the WCO should be framed, particularly around nitrates.

A WCO is a form of secondary legislation that can prescribe restrictions or prohibitions on the exercise of a regional council’s powers under the Resource Management Act. The court found that for local iwi - Ngāti Tama ki te Tauihu, Te Ātiawa and Ngāti Rarua - the springs are one of the most sacred places in Mohua Golden Bay. The WCO will also include the associated water bodies that feed into the springs’ area.

“The exceptional clarity of those bubbling waters is renowned and connotes what we adjudge to be an outstanding spiritual quality,”

the report read.

The 314-page report says that Wharepapa Arthur Marble Aquifer is part of a highly complex and vast karst hydrogeological artesian system that, along with the Tākaka River and its tributaries, feeds the springs.

Te Waikoropupū has important scientific and ecological value, being listed as a Water of National Importance for biodiversity.

Their underground ecology is understood to contribute to the springs’ exceptional water clarity.

Amongst the diverse assemblage of small aquatic invertebrates inhabiting the groundwater feeding the springs are stygofauna about which little is known (including their sensitivity to changes in wa-

ter quality).

Those qualities contributed to the court’s judgment that the subject waters have “outstanding values”.

Monitoring data, primarily gathered by members of Friends of Golden Bay Inc. had revealed a progressive increase in the springs of levels of potentially harmful nitrate-nitrogen.

The court’s evidential findings found that the natural state of the springs and its outstanding values are at significant risk from human-induced pollution, particularly increasing levels of some nitrates.

The court process has defined a water allocation limit for the catchment and a minimum water

flow to protect the springs and has also defined a nitrate target at the springs to be reached by 2038 and is the first WCO in New Zealand to seek improvement in water quality.

As a submitter to the hearing, Tasman District Council focused on ensuring the WCO is able to be implemented in a practical way.

“We want to see the best outcomes for the springs, the wider Tākaka catchments, iwi and the community,” a statement said.

“We maintain our commitment to improve freshwater management in the Tākaka Valley, to ensure existing good water quality and health is maintained and improved where needed.”

Phallus prank stuns locals JO KENT Aviation enthusiasts across the region were left baffled last Thursday night when the flight path of a Cessna 172 plane drew out the shape of a 30ft penis in the sky above Golden Bay. A 25-year-old from Tākaka was responsible for the stunt and says it was just something he thought up out of the blue while clocking up his night flying hours.

“I went out the previous night and my mate said to ‘draw a d**k’, and then the Alternative Comedy Collective (ACC) radio station posted a screenshot of it on Facebook.

“So, I went up the next night with a mate and we wondered what we could do while flying around,” he says.

They came up with the idea of plotting out a sideways penis with the initials ‘ACC’ on the top, but this time it was just over 30ft long.

“It’s actually something a lot of pilots do during their night flying hours, but they aren’t usually quite as big, so people don’t real-

“I spent a while live-plotting the route out on the iPad as the constant line behind you means you can’t just stop and start. So, I had to think about how to do it without cocking it up. It took me over an hour to do the whole thing.”

A mother and son from Pakawau watched the event un-

fold as it happened on live flight tracker website Flightradar24. com just before 10pm.

“Normally we get the rescue helicopter flying over, but I hit mute on the TV and thought, ‘No, that’s a plane’, and wondered what they were doing at that time of the night.

“My son loves the flight radar and has the app on his phone, so we were watching it move on the radar as it was flying nearby.

Reggie was loving it as it’s right up his alley.”

The pair were highly amused to see the shape of the penis slowly getting mapped out on the radar.

“We were laying in bed trying to figure out what the pilot was trying to spell. It was neat watching a penis being drawn in the night sky right outside. The moment when the pilot went back to draw pee from the end was the best final touch.”

The plane is owned by a Takaka syndicate, and a fellow pilot says that whoever flew the plane must have been “bloody good to do that and keep the lines dead

straight as it was a windy night.”

With 10 years of flying experience, the sky artist says drawing the phallus wasn’t as hard as it looks.

“Once I’d plotted out my route, it wasn’t really that hard to do.

I’ve been flying since I was 15 as my dad was in aviation. He thinks it’s hilarious that I’m getting so much attention over this.”

The plane landed at Nelson airport on Thursday night after he’d spent most of the day flying around the region, stopping off at Motueka, Tākaka and Blenheim before heading back to Nelson at 10.47pm, after drawing the comedy sketch.

“Most people didn’t understand the ACC part and it sparked up a lot of politic bulls**t about people not getting paid compensation and then it turned into a Labour versus National debate as well.”

He says the ACC were stoked with the stunt and are sending him some free merchandise.

“They contacted me to say they are sending me some free hats, so it was totally worth it.”

Retirees make high-altitude dive for cancer ANNE HARDIE It was minus 27 degrees celsius at 18,000 feet as 80-year-old Tom Millar was launched from the plane above Motueka, giving him a high-altitude buzz and helping his team raise more than $5,000 for the Cancer Society.

Tom teamed up with fellow Summerset in the Sun retirement village resident, 81-year-old Andrew Thompson, along with staff members Darren Steer and Jacques Doman for their tandem skydiving experience last weekend to the cheers and applause from a crowd of Summerset supporters.

For Tom, it was the second time he had skydived after jumping out of a plane for his 70th birthday, while for the other three it was their first time and a chance to tick it off their bucket list while fundraising for a good cause.

The four raised about $5,500 through raffles, online donations, and further donations from Summerset residents for a cause that was close to their hearts.

“There wouldn’t be a single person who doesn’t know someone with cancer. The reason I jumped was because I wanted to do it myself, but it was also a chance to

raise money for the Cancer Society.”

well as raise money for the cause.

Jacques says cancer does not just affect those with cancer, but also those people around them, and that was his motivation, as well as ticking it off his bucket list.

He was in the military in South Africa and missed out on the skydiving training due to a shoulder injury, so since then he has been keen to give it a go. He is now contemplating a skydiving course so he can go back up into the sky for more jumps.

The fundraising idea was mooted when the four realised they all wanted to skydive and Summerset resident Betty Van Rooyen, who is a cancer survivor and a volunteer for the Cancer Society, organised the fundraising. She had previously tandem skydived as a fundraiser for the society when she was 81.

Darren says there were no nerves on the day - which was a perfect winter’s day without a cloud in the sky.

dive was timely.

He also lost an uncle to cancer at just 41 years old, which further motivated him to tick skydiving off his bucket Architectural Aluminium list now, as 17 King Edward Street, Motueka Phone 03 528 0053 0800 Fisher (0800 347 437) email fishertasman@xtra.co.nz web www.fisherwindows.co.nz

Motueka sportsman propels to centre top GORDON PREECE A Motueka tourism business owner and avid basketballer has scored a new position to steer the local recreation centre waka.

Rohan Haskell, who’s owned Mārahau-based R&R Kayaks for six years, has recently been appointed as new facility manager at the Motueka Recreation Centre.

He replaces Jody Maru, who had been a member of the Sport Tasman facility for around two decades and spent the past six years as its facility manager.

Rohan says he is “stoked” to now call the shots at the Old Wharf Rd centre, where he’s participated in sport since he was four-years-old.

“Sport and community stuff has always been a passion of mine and I’ve always done it in the background, but to be able to see this job come up, apply for it, and be given it was pretty humbling,

and a pretty awesome opportunity,” he says.

“I’ve been doing tourism for over 20 years, and I just felt it was time to put that on the backburner a bit and move into something different because obviously in the last couple of years Covid has pretty substantially damaged tourism businesses.

“I got our business back up on its feet last year to the point where I could put someone in there to manage that for me, so it was a good opportunity to step away from it and reenergise myself in a different area.”

Rohan, who also founded the Mot Buckets basketball team in 2021, says his first move as the complex captain was whistling in more users.

“The facility is an incredible facility for a small town like Motueka to have and I feel like it’s underutilised at the moment.

He says he wants to get the spac-

es and places that are currently unoccupied for much of the week, seeing more use.

“Whether it be for sport, leisure, recreation stuff or young kids to elderly classes.

“The community and the recreation centre may have had a bit of a disconnect over the past few years and it would be awesome to see it back up and get back to what it has been in the past.”

Rohan says he’ll engage with local sports organisations to level the playing field.

“It’s hard for us to do all of it on our own, so we do need a bit of buy in from soccer groups, basketball groups and netball clubs and things to actually help us out,” he says. “We obviously have to get some staff on board who are capable to do those things so we are looking into bringing on a few more staff members shortly which will help us out in that field.”

27 and has urged drivers to slow down around local beaches and bays.

“Keep a look out for penguins on the road, especially after dusk and before dawn when they are coming and going from the sea,” she says.

“Car strike is a significant threat to our little blues...and avoidable if we just take care. Their conservation status is at risk/ declining, they need our help.”

Linda says the little blue penguin which died on Friday was on its way back to its nest after a feeding trip at sea to take over the incubating duties so its

A trust dedicated to protecting a sea and shorebird whose conservation status is At Risk-Declining has urged caution when driving on coastal roads after a recent death in the space of two months.

A “prime breeding” adult Tasman Bay blue penguin who had been incubating two eggs was killed in an alleged hit-and-run last Friday night near the Kaiteriteri boat ramp.

partner could take its own feeding trip.

“The mate will wait days, hungry and losing condition but desperate to keep their precious eggs warm,” she says.

“In the end, survival instinct will kick in and it will head back out to sea, alone, hopefully with enough strength to hunt for food and regain the strength it needs to survive at sea.

“But maybe not, behind it will leave two abandoned eggs, a failed nest.”

Farmers maintain ‘fantastic’ effluent compliance MAX FRETHEY

compliant,” he says. “Farmers deserve to see this recognised.”

But despite Tasman farmers’ success in complying with dairy effluent discharge regulations, councillor Kit Maling had concerns about legislation excluding stock from waterways that comes into effect in 2025.

“It will be a challenge for some of our farmers that have been doing things a certain way for a long time to suddenly have to exclude their stock from an awful lot of waterways,” he says.

Stephen says that while “lots of farmers” have already done a lot of the work in preparing for the enactment of the stock exclusion regulations, others still have some work to do. However, he also adds that the incoming rules will further cost farmers.

“It is going to be very challenging, financially, going forward in the immediate future and will be very hard to find any money for extra work.”

Tasman’s dairy farmers have continued their strong record of compliance with effluent disposal regulations.

Of the 116 dairy farms across the district that had active discharges during the 2022/23 milking season, only seven – just six per cent of farms – weren’t fully compliant.

“We’ve had no moderate or significant non-compliance this year, which is really pleasing,” says Carl Cheeseman, Tasman District Council’s team leader – monitoring and enforcement.

The seven farms all only had minor instances of non-compliance, such as pooling of effluent on the ground or discharging effluent too close to a neighbouring property, and did not result in any risk of environmental contamination either through run-off or groundwater contamination.

No formal enforcement action was undertaken by council though the breaches were addressed. This is the ninth consecutive year where over 90 per cent

Councillor Mike Kininmonth says the rate of compliance is “bloody good news” and lauded dairy farmers for their efforts.

“Dairy farming gets a bad rap, but looking at these figures here,

these are brilliant.”

Councillor Chris Hill agrees that the region’s dairy farmers have a “good history” of “fantastic” farming practices.

Stephen Todd, president of the Federated Farmers Nelson prov-

ince (which includes parts of Tasman), says it was great to see the “good work” of farmers celebrated.

“Dairy farmers are doing a great job and have made big investments into effluent systems to be

Regional abodes nail housing awards GORDON PREECE A “superbly built home that oozes quality” in Kaiteriteri nailed six awards in this year’s regional Registered Master Builders House of the Year Awards.

The house, that is nestled in native bush and overlooks the coastline, was constructed by Contemporary Homes, who took home the Nelson Marlborough and West Coast Supreme House of the Year, the competition’s most prestigious prize.

The judges said the home reigned supreme due to its exposed timber rafters, soffits, counter-levered front deck, glazed garage doors, and complex concrete stonework which

“Once inside the quality continues with an impressive oak

stairway – leading up to the main level, boasting beautifully crafted oak-framed glass stacker doors,

exposed rafters, built-in cabinetry, and generous, well-proportioned rooms,” the judges said.

“The master suite is cleverly designed and separated from the guest rooms by the spacious, centrally-located kitchen, dining, and living rooms which capture the essence of this retreat-like home.

“From design through to the finest details on display, Contemporary Homes should be extremely proud.”

The Moana-based firm also nailed the Pink Batts Craftsman-

ship, Kitchen Excellence, Higgins Concrete Outdoor Living Excellence Award, Resene New Home $2 million - $4 million, and Gold awards.

Other local winners of major awards at this year’s competition included Nelson-based Scott Construction, You Build, Inhaus and Jennian Homes Nelson Bays for homes in Kaiteriteri, Māpua, Richmond, and Tāhunanui.

Tasman cafe owner re-stands for Greens GORDON PREECE Steve Richards may own a hospitality venue named after a royal fool but is re-standing for the Green Party at the upcoming election to prove its no fool’s errand.

The Tasman resident and owner of Jester House Cafe who lives by “green choices” will recontest the West Coast-Tasman seat in the 2023 General Election.

Steve achieved 2341 votes in the 2020 election, 18,412 votes behind four-time winner, Damien O’Connor of the Labour Party.

He says he’s standing for the same reasons he did three years ago, and that is for the electorate and Aotearoa to take “drastic action” on climate change and social issues such as resource depletion.

“I feel like I’m better equipped now to portray that message of

the even greater importance of decarbonisation of the economy, of sorting health inequality in New Zealand and doing something about the general state of the environment,” he says.

“That stuff I can articulate much better now having had the experience from last time, so that’s the reason why I’m standing again apart from all the other green reasons which are more important than they were three years ago.”

Steve says while the new local eBus service

was “brilliant”, the public and other political parties still can’t identify that climate change is an “emergency”.

“We’ve shown already with some incentives getting people on those eBuses… but making general consumers aware that their choice to go to Bali, or Europe, or wherever they choose to fly to is a climate choice and that they’re choosing themselves over climate,” he says.

“Transport is such a huge part of our carbon emissions, not just in New Zealand but in this district

as well, so trying to get people to embrace a different way of travelling is a very big one we can do.

“Some of the major things I think the Green Party has done in the last few years is really keeping that climate stuff at the forefront and not letting Labour off when they’ve reneged on all sorts of deals.”

Steve says he has undertaken plenty of Green Party initiatives like the One Billion Trees planting programme to support banded rail birds in the Moutere catchment.

Tasman School book quiz winners again FIONA NELSON For the second year in a row, Tasman School won first prize in the Annual Book Quiz at Te Noninga Kumu public library in Motueka.

The quiz was held, for the fourteenth time, on Wednesday, 2 August, with nine local schools participating.

Tākaka Library held their quiz the day before on Tuesday, 1 August, with Richmond Library’s on Thursday.

All the students came in costumes they had chosen based around books they had enjoyed, and characters from Harry Potter books featured strongly.

There were three rounds of quiz questions from the books that had been selected, two fiction and one non-fiction: Pipi and Pou & The River Monster by Tim Tipene; The Last Fallen Star – a Gifted Clans novel by Graci Kim, and Wild Coasts- Exploring Aotearoa Marine Reserves by Ned Barrand.

This was followed by a round of general questions with spot prizes given throughout the rounds.

Wearing her Harry Potter Cloak, assistant librarian at Motueka, Kumala Moir-Lunniss, who organised and ran the quiz, says it was a great morning with lots of fun had.

“Thanks to our local support from New World supermarket for providing morning tea, and State Cinema for donating prizes for the costumes.”

Kumala was helped by Kim Francis from Motueka Library, and Melanie Brookes, Krystel Avis and Sophus Glasgow, Children and Young Adult Librarians from Richmond Library.

“The importance of having the book quiz is that it recognizes that children of this age have skills and talents that are outside of sport or not only on the sports fields,” Sophus says.

The nine school teams were: ‘Brooklyn Bookworms’ from Brooklyn School; ‘Philosophers’ from Lower Moutere School; ‘The Book Wizards’ from Motueka Rudolf Steiner School; ‘Book Bandits’ from Motueka South School; ‘Ngatimoti Explorers’ from Ngatimoti School; ‘Pakarama Professors’ from Parklands School, ‘Kaitiaki o nga Pukapuka o Riuwaka’ from Riwaka School; ‘SPC Readers’ from St.Peter Chanel; and ‘Tasman Bookbooks’ from Tasman School.

Region to get first dedicated cannabis clinic KATE RUSSELL Increasing demand for medicinal cannabis in the region has seen the opening of a dedicated cannabis prescription clinic in Richmond.

Cannabis Clinic already has two clinics in the North Island and also offers online consultations nationwide.

Lead doctor at the Richmond clinic, William Parkyn, says they are already seeing more than 250 patients in the Nelson Tasman region online, with a 57 per cent growth in patient numbers in the last six months.

The specialist general practitioner has been doing online consultations for nine months and says he is looking forward to offering a face-to-face service.

William decided to make the leap to this line of medicine last year after being a GP for most of his career.

“I had patients that would be using cannabis with great success for a variety of things, and then coming in asking me about medicinal cannabis. I was using it in some capacity in general practice and having good results.”

He says medicinal cannabis is

Dr William Parkyn is the lead doctor at the region’s first dedicated cannabis clinic. Photo: Kate Russell. proving to be “life-changing” for some people and can help with pain, stress, anxiety, sleep issues, and sometimes seizures, fibromyalgia, and long-Covid.

“I recently had a patient who

had chronic pain for years and problems with sleep and using sleeping tablets and opioid medication. Now they are no longer using the medications and reporting that they’re having the

best sleep that they’ve had in 20 years.”

Medical cannabis has been legal for GPs to prescribe since 2020, but it is not subsidised so can cost hundreds of dollars.

But William says for some people it is invaluable.

“There are people that haven’t been able to work because of their pain or their anxiety, so it’s well worth the investment for many.”

William says when people book an appointment, they’ll have a chat about what’s going on and then they have options of CBD or THC oils, which are used under the tongue, or some flower products.

He explains that we have what is

called an ‘endocannabinoid system’ throughout our bodies.

“Its main role is maintaining homeostasis. If you’ve got something out of balance, your nervous system releases its own endocannabinoids and your body is always making them all the time, but they only last a short period of time.

“CBD decreases the speed you break them down and enhances your own endocannabinoid system, and THC activates those receptors.”

William says while there a still a lot of misconceptions about cannabis, it is slowly becoming more mainstream.

“It’s one of those taboo subjects, but now people can get it legally and know exactly what they are getting, the word is spreading.

“There’s a lot of people in their 60s through to their 90s who I’m seeing who have always been against recreational cannabis, but they are hearing through friends how helpful it is. I’m often hearing people say ‘Oh, my friend at the golf club has started using CBD and he’s saying it’s remarkable, so can I have a trial of it?’”

But William says he is seeing a “huge variety” of patients.

“From kids with significant autism up to palliative care patients.”

William believes medicinal cannabis will eventually become “another part of our health system”.

“There’s a good opportunity for people to have a conversation about the safest way of using it, because, like anything, you want to use it in the right way. There are a lot of people out there using cannabis in the dark and often going to extreme or dodgy lengths to get it. But this is a completely legal option.”

Ngatimoti students play their hearts out at the Matariki games event . Photo: Gordon Preece.

Youth celebrate Matariki GORDON PREECE About 200 primary and intermediate students hit Sports Park on Thursday last week to embrace Matariki through traditional Māori games.

Mixed teams of Year 6 and 7 students from Ngatimoti School, Brooklyn School, Riwaka School, Parklands School and Motueka South School participated in friendly matches of Tī Uru, Horohapu, Kī-o-Rahi and Tapu Ae with year 8 student leaders

officiating.

Horohopu requires participants to throw and catch a poi toa from one team member to another to advance towards the scoring zone. Kī-o-Rahi is a combination of netball, handball and rippa rugby, and Tapu Ae involves two teams trying to knock the opposing team’s balls off their cones.

Sport Tasman healthy active learning advisor Kate Hailes says the day was about capability build and growing Matariki values.

“We have got these schools together for the first time to run this and the idea is they take it over themselves to run in the future and potentially grow it, so it includes some more of the locals,” she says.

“It’s about whanaungatanga - getting to know each other, and interacting with new people, Manaakitanga - which is about uplifting and growing everything and feeling valued and included, and rangatiratanga - which is all about dual leadership.”

Midwifery: supporting women and whānau Amy Darragh is a Core Midwife at Wairau Maternity and MERAS Marlborough regional representative.

Here she shares with us what inspired her to do this important work and what being a midwife means to her.

Tell us about yourself

baby/ babies.

I find it hard to believe that I have now been a midwife for eleven years. During this time I have worked as a hospital based Midwife as well as a Lead Maternity Care Midwife in the community.

I also believe it is important to integrate partners and whānau in the childbearing process as defined by the woman or pregnant person. I follow the New Zealand College of Midwives Standards of Practice and the Tauranga Kaupapa cultural framework within my practice.

Two years ago I left Southland with my husband and teenage son. We were all ready for a change and Marlborough seemed to be the right fit for us. As a family we now feel integrated and part of the community. I am currently a Core Midwife at Wairau Maternity. The maternity team at Wairau were so welcoming and I feel very grateful to be part of an amazing team. I however, proudly continue to roll my R’s in Marlborough!

What do you like about this work?

After eleven years, I still can’t decide which aspect of midwifery care I enjoy the most.

At present, I am fortunate enough to work on the maternity ward at Wairau as a Core Midwife as well as doing casual cover for the hospital case loading team.

This gives me the opportunity to work in a team providing secondary care as well as being able to do antenatal, labour and birth and postnatal care on a casual basis.

As a midwife, I value the privileged position I’m in, supporting women, people and whānau at such a special time in their lives.

Despite national midwifery shortages it’s truly a rewarding career.

Are you interested in becoming a midwife?

Find out more at www.nmdhb.govt.nz/midwifery

I am currently the MERAS (The Midwifery Employee Representation and Advisory Service) Marlborough regional representative. This role involves me supporting and advocating for my colleagues, encouraging positive changes in the workplace and keeping up to date with Regional and National Midwifery issues.

Last year I completed union training and attended my first MERAS Conference.

What inspired you to do this work?

After the birth of my son I discontinued my nursing training. There was something about midwifery that took my interest and after investigating I realised my desperately wanted to be a midwife. I started my degree when my son was two and I’ve never looked back!

What’s your philosophy about birth, pregnancy, midwifery?

Being part of an individual’s childbirth journey is a privilege. This journey involves a unique partnership between the midwife and the pregnant person, this needs to be tailored to the individual needs.

I believe care needs to be holistic, safe and culturally appropriate. I strongly support the decision-making process by encouraging those I care for to be active participants for the care of themselves and their

A response for Glen Bathgate in the matter of his letter to the two elected representatives who organised a petition ‘against’ a cycle lane in Motueka. It’s a shame you hadn’t understood the details as it’s not against a cycle lane, it was against putting a cycle lane alongside (even if you take out the parking lane according to the picture advertising the new road with footpath, tree and grass lane, cycle lane and bollard/planter box lane on each side of the road there is not enough room) a State Highway road that is not wide enough for the proposed plan, which serves a major transportation route. A more prudent approach for the cycle lane could be found if the community came together and thought this through, using historical knowledge of the byways in and around Motueka, also considering the paper roads that cannot be built on. Quite possibly, we might find a remedy parallel between High Street and Queen Victoria Street.

The yellow blossoms of vibrant daffodils symbolise hope - hope that, just like the daffodils that bloom every spring, a new dawn of cancer treatment breakthroughs is on the horizon.

Community involvement

A number of schools across the region will be involved over the

course of this school term, from mufti days to bake sales, all in the name of raising funds and aware-

With over 100 volunteers helping in the lead-up to last year’s big day, local Daffodil Day organisers, the legendary Jan Riley, Megan Strong and Maree Satherley, are encouraging our supportive community to try and top the $16,000 Motueka raised last Daffodil Day. What phenomenal effort for a small rural community.

When we come together we are stronger, especially in the face of cancer.

Last year’s funds were produced through the sale of fresh daffodils, by participating schools and early childhood education centres as well as the Daffodil Day street appeal. Expect to see a blaze of colour over the coming weeks in the lead-up this important day.

ness for cancer research. The Guardian visited St Peter Chanel School to discover a classfull of Yr 1 and Yr 2 students learning more about the day from Jan Riley, our dedicated local Daffodil Day convenor. Jan brought in her special daffodil headbands and the youngsters were keen to don them for a photo.

“It’s exciting to be doing Daffodil Day post Covid, we really feel like we are getting back to normal. Even with everything else going on in the world,

cancer hasn’t gone away and is still the single biggest cause of death in New Zealand,” says Jan. Jan and Megan, alongside Maree and a host of volunteers, will be busy picking daffodils on Tuesday 22 August and Thursday 24 August from stunning fields of flowers. Bunches of gorgeous fresh blooms will be on sale on Wednesday 23 August, with the annual Daffodil Street Appeal taking place on Friday 25 August. Do look out for collectors in High Street and at both local supermarkets. Megan will be at New World, where you can also find Daffodil Day merchandise for sale.

The daffodil is the first flower of spring. Bringing light after cold, dark winter days and the hope of a new beginning. It has become a symbol for people experiencing the winter of cancer diagnosis and treatment, finding hope of a new life ahead.

These blooms will add vibrant yellow colour to your homes, workplaces, community centres and stores, or can be sent as gifts to your valued customers. If you would like to order a

How to support someone with cancer You may be a partner, relative, friend or neighbour. Anyone can be a supporter of someone with a cancer diagnosis – it doesn’t matter what your age, gender, sexuality, profession or cultural background is.

Supporters can provide support in different ways: • practical • physical • emotional • spiritual You may provide support for a short time or over months or years.

You may not see yourself as a supporter, rather as someone simply taking care of a person who needs you.

You may see this role as a natural extension of your relationship.

Being a supporter might mean adjusting the relationship you have with the person already.

The benefits of being a supporter • supporting someone can be very positive - it can be very satisfying to know that you are making a difference • you might feel surprised and pleased with how you handled the situation and the new skills you have learnt • supporting someone with cancer can help you think about your values, and what matters to you • spending time with the per-

one with cancer, there can be a lot to think about.

Here are a few things to think about: • having after-hours phone numbers for specialists and hospitals handy • talking to the healthcare team about getting information about treatment • checking your understanding of the medications the person with cancer is having • how you can get help with practical needs, such as housework, shopping, equipment, showering/ bathing or meals • how you will take on new tasks that you are not confident about, such as driving in the city, managing appointments or finances • looking after your own

connection Tips for supporters If you are an older person supporting someone with cancer, you may have difficulties with your own health. You may feel like you are the only one who can do the support.

When you're supporting some-

health with regular visits to your doctor, dentist, optician or other specialists • keeping your family/whānau involved - they could support you by helping with making changes to appointments, transport, running errands or coming to appointments with you • taking regular breaks for yourself, such as having a friend come around to sit with the person you're supporting while you go for a walk • having someone to talk to about how you are coping talk to a social worker or a doctor who can assess your needs as a supporter For more information on supporting a loved one with cancer go to https://www.cancer.org.nz/

NOT YOUR AVERAGE CRYSTAL SHOP

This year volunteers will be busy picking daffodils on 22nd and 24th of August. son with cancer can help build your relationship with them and be a rewarding time • many people say that going through cancer leads to a better understanding of each other, improved communication and a stronger

I often get asked why our used Toyota Certified Hybrid Vehicles are a little more expensive than some other dealers, so here we go. Firstly, Toyota refurbish the vehicle when it reaches our shores.

Then, Toyota NZ put a 5-year warranty on the Hybrid Battery. They also throw in a 1 year Used Toyota Vehicle Warranty.

The Japanese audio system will be replaced with a NZ unit (the odd vehicle is not able to have this done), and to top it off, On Road Costs are included... all in the price of the car! No hassles, you just choose the car and away you go, no hidden costs. Come and see our extensive range.

Riwaka claim double win in epic battles Tama trumps opponent in boxing bout FROM PAGE 1 celebration of their local lad.

Tama says he was already on “such a high” from the rugby win, that it took away a lot of his nerves in the lead up to the bout.

“The reception made me feel proud and honoured to have my partner, sisters, nephews, cousins and friends all stand up for the haka tautoko.”

Tama says a special mention needs to go to his coaches; Shannon Semmens and Mike Walsh, as well as the Ahikaa Boxing Club who he was fighting for.

Fight for Rangatahi co-organiser Randall Dixon says it was good to see some culture brought into the evening and noted that every person who stepped into the ring had “massive support”.

The event saw 30 boxers take to the ring for both amateur and corporate bouts.

“Everyone gave it their all, for these corporates it was their first time stepping into the ring and I think they can all look in the mirror and say they gave it their all,” Randall says.

ANDREW BOARD Riwaka staged an epic second-half comeback to win its first division two rugby title in six years, beating Stoke 33-29 at Greenmeadows today.

Top qualifier and defending champions Stoke got off to a flying start, scoring two tries inside the first six minutes. But a yellow card to Stoke winger Chris Little mid-way through the second half allowed Riwaka to claw its way back into the game and once it had the momentum, it didn’t lose it.

The game was a contrast in styles. Stoke played in good

systems and were well organised. It had a superior kicking game from the likes of Keegan Thomas, Jake Curtis and Will Jacka and was powerful around the rucks.

Riwaka’s win can be put down to several outstanding individual performances. Fullback Tomasi Te’o, and flanker Filipe Tupou, in particular, had several moments of brilliance.

Riwaka coach Joe Lepaio-Wineera said after the game plan is “95 per cent the boys”.

“We’re island-style football.

Even today we had guys turn up 10 minutes late, 20 minutes

late. Some of them didn’t even turn up to the pre-game run, you just have to laugh. We put a little bit of structure in the game but we don’t want to take too much away from the boys.”

Stoke captain Ryan Green was quick to praise Riwaka, describing the game as “a battle”.

“It’s been like that in the past few years we’ve played them.

In the past five years we’ve had three finals against these boys and they fully deserved to win today.”

He says his team didn’t play to its potential for the “full 80” minutes.

“It’s gutting.”

Riwaka captain Stephen Hughes, by contrast, couldn’t wipe the smile off his face.

“It’s unreal. I’m just proud of everyone.”

After Riwaka scored to take the lead for the first time in the game with just five minutes remaining, Stephen says it felt as if that time “lasted forever”.

Score: Riwaka 33 (Pilipe Tupou 2, Rafa Osone, Prestley Tuipulotu, Tomasi Te’o tries; Hayden Stanley 4/5 conversions). Stoke 29 (Craig Groome 2, Chris Little, Chad Lowrie tries; Jake Curtis 3/4 conversions, 1 penalty)

Local sponsorship keeps Motueka AFC kids moving Tasman’s young people are living their FIFA dream in Motueka.

Every Wednesday afternoon and Saturday morning, 60 plus 4–9-year-olds head to at Goodman Park, Motueka.

These budding First Kicks and Fun Football players are hungry for football and under the guidance of DeAnne Fraser, are learning the skills required to play. The programme would not be feasible without the continued support of local sponsors. New World Motueka sponsors junior football, covering new

game gear, playing kit and various resources needed for the young footballers.

This year Motueka AFC was able to supply each child up to 9th grade with a personalised boot bag.

Saturday morning brought smiles and excitement, as Nicola and Simon Hollyer, owners of New World Motueka, presented the Fun Football and First Kicks children with their bags.

The Cheesecake Shop Richmond is another key sponsor, providing a voucher for a free cheesecake to each player of the day, up to 13/14th grade.

Mako men grind out win, while women dominate JACK MALCOLM Friday night saw a double header of action, with the Mako’s men’s and women’s teams both coming away with wins.

The women made a notable 61-10 away win over Taranaki in the Farah Palmer Cup championship clash, as they continued to show their improvement from

last season, while the men kicked off their campaign with a win in front of home fans against Otago.

Coming into the game as favourites, there will still be a lot to work on for the men as they ground out a 27-15 win.

Having a wealth of experience tied up with All Black duties and an already extensive list of key players injured, like flanker

Ethan Blackadder (calf injury) and co-captain Mitch Hunt (quad injury), it was a chance for new players to shine.

It was a scrappy start to the game under the lights at Trafalgar Park as both teams showed their nerves in the opening game for the 2023 Bunnings NPC. The Mako started hot and looked like they were going to

take first blood after a fantastic through-the-legs offload, only for the ball to be dropped with whiteline fever after over 20 phases of attack.

Luckily the team didn’t have to wait long to find redemption, scoring minutes later as Macca Springer found himself in the right place for a David Havilli offload.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t all silver linings for the home side as Tom Marshall’s return to the red jersey and his 50th cap was cut short as he was helped from the field for an unsuccessful head injury assessment. Having come into the game as favourites, while the Mako got the result they were looking for, there’s still a lot of work to be done as the season progresses.

Motueka High School Girls Rugby team 1st XV Girls Tasman Under 17s were jubilant after beating Waimea Under 18s 57-5 in their Tasman Under 18 girls grade game week. This means they qualify for the semi-final which will be a home-game played at Motueka Sports Park, tonight, Wednesday, 9 August, against Queen Charlotte Girls Rugby team.
