Start writing your life story this winter A local writer wants to help people finally get started writing their life stories, memoirs and family histories this winter, in a cosy country hall.

Takaka writer Charlotte Squire teaches people living all over New Zealand to write their stories via her online course Write Your Memoir.

She’s offering her course in person, starting in midJune, inviting people to gather at Kotinga Hall, near Takaka, for a day of learning, to get started. After that she plans for people to meet every three months, each season, for one year, as they write their stories.

“I’d love to help more locals write their stories and it might be fun, amongst friends.”

“It depends on how much time you put into it, but it’s very possible to finish the first draft of your story within one year, and after that it takes more time to edit it and maybe format your photos

How much money is needed for retirement?

It’s like planning a long, comfortable bath.

You need to balance inflow and outflow.

Money comes from NZ Super and your capital. Spend too fast and you’re in trouble. Spend too slowly and you’re failing to take advantage of your hard-earned capital. The more investment growth you get from your capital the more money you’ll have to spend - but don’t take more investment risk than you need.

Matching A & B seems easy. But A depends on C, D, E & F – and varies year by year and so does B of course as does your life expectancy. It’s an ongoing balancing act.

Some people can manage retirement with $200K in capital. Others need $400K, $600K or $800K and I did

have a client once who needed over $1M each year to pay for her (toyboy’s) spending. Her huge divorce settlement didn’t last long.

Seriously though you MUST have a plan. Come to CTFP for a plan that suits YOUR circumstances and includes annual re-balancing.

Start with a free, 15 minute, no commitment, preliminary phone/video/personal appointment. Book with Glyn initially but you’ll need Kathryn or Anna-May for the software modelling!

RNZAF successfully drops in on South Island during exercise

A loadmaster watches the drop after it successfully leaves the aircraft.

South Pacific SOJOURN

VISITING:

RNZAF No.40 Squadron pilot Flight Lieutenant Michal-louise Paget guides her Hercules through the South Island landscape.

The Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) successfully completed a nearly two-week exercise of tactical flying around the top of the South Island, practising dropping loads of equipment and supplies in remote locations late last month.

No. 40 Squadron, normally based in Auckland, and support units, including those from the NZ Army, were based at RNZAF Base Woodbourne near Blenheim.

“The annual training activity is designed to maintain currency in low-level flying, tactical flying and airdrop capability,” says pilot, Flight Lieutenant Michal-louise Paget.

“These skills are crucial when responding to a range of

challenging situations such as resupply, humanitarian aid and disaster relief or search and rescue operations,” she says.

It helps prepare No. 40 Squadron for deployments to the likes of Antarctica, the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific.

“The nature of military operations and the environments in which they are conducted means highquality training activities are essential for our personnel,” Flight Lieutenant Paget says.

The Hercules flew as far south as Canterbury and as far north as Manawatu, with the crew coordinating pallet drops of heavy equipment and container delivery bundles to drop

zones at RNZAF Base Ohakea and around Marlborough.

The exercise provided crews with a range of demanding flying and navigating conditions, including over unfamiliar, mountainous and challenging terrain in a variety of weather conditions.

Support on the ground also came from RNZAF No.3 Squadron and New Zealand Army units from 1 (New Zealand) Brigade, 2nd Combat Service Support Battalion, including 5 Movements Company and 3rd Combat Service Support Battalion.

Flight Lieutenant Paget said the exercise had proved successful in achieving a number of training goals.

Congratulations to Leo Easton, Louie Burger, Beck Weber and Sam Maley who came 2nd in the South Island Secondary Schools 12 hour Adventure Race in Kaikoura in a time of 12:19 hours.

This was an awesome achievement as none of them had competed in an event like this before.

It was a tough event with 2 muddy bike stages and 2 foot rogaine stages. The second rogaine was for a large part after dark, so this added a real challenge to the race.

Letters Dear Editor, I write with such grief-stricken rage at the UN-necessary loss of THREE penguins at Little Kaiteriteri recently by a free roaming four legged canine.

The nest was upturned and 3 dead birds were uplifted and transferred to a wildlife rehab vet who confirmed their cause of death as dog attack.

What’s more damning was the actions by a well-dressed couple walking their “precious Pooch” on Little Kaiteriteri and right at the Road sign post that clearly spelled out the responsibilities inherent on dog owners to keep the animal on a leash.

They unleashed same and on request to releash they stated that their PP was a trained borders sniffer dog OMG it bounced down into the undergrowth as Pooches unrestrained do!

This couple had nothing to do with the attack, it was just a matter of frustration that they let their dog off lead right in front of a sign advising the beach is ‘penguin habitat’ and the excuse they used.

As one of a number of dedicated trappers who volunteer to clear traps on Kaka Pah Point and other beaches around Kaiteriteri of rats, stoats and the like, all our years of hard work gets decimated by the actions of

irresponsible dog owners who are the problem and not the dogs per se.

We are frustrated at the pious platitudes that come out of the mouths of these self-righteous irresponsible canine carers. Yes to exercising the pooch but take responsibility for their potential to wreak havoc on little penguins whose conservation status is at risk/declining and who are not invading their inalienable right of passage on public land, aka beach environs.

TDC come on and get the Dog Park sorted. A Win-Win. Win for all.

Too easy.

Regards, Kevin Fourie Motueka

Motueka Music Group together with Arts on Tours NZ presents Jackie goes Prima Diva performance

Piano maestro Grant Winterburn.

L SPSUENCDAIA ON Y UNTIL 18th June 2023

Locally owned & operated

Much-loved kiwi entertainer Jackie Clarke.

Due to popular demand Jackie and Grant’s concert has been moved to the larger venue of Motueka Memorial Hall, date and time remain the same.

Entertainer and singer, Jackie is natural on stage with her comic timing and her outstanding voice.

Home-grown chanteuse Jackie Clarke turns her powerhouse vocals, wicked humour and maverick entertainment style to interpret the songs of the 20th and 21st Centuries most legendary divas.

Jackie pays homage to Judy Garland, Shirley Bassey, Peggy Lee, Barbra Streisand and more! From Alberta Hunter to Dolly Parton, from Kate Bush to Lady Gaga, Jackie lets her diva flag fly, while playfully interacting with the audience with trademark witty panache.

Most recently Jackie Clarke starred in onewoman play Shirley Valentine, devised/ produced and premiered Rock Follies Forever, with Jennifer Ward-Lealand and Laura Daniel, and performed a series of successful concerts with opera tenor Simon O’Neill and musical theatre baritone Tim Beverifge. She has performed with all New Zealand’s orchestras and been part of Jubilation for 20 years.

Accompanied by

piano maestro Grant Winterburn, expect iconic songs performed with tender soul and gleeful virtuosity. Grant has 35 years of experience as a musician and as a musician has covered a vast array of musical situations- some of them more dangerous than others! This rich journey in live music has involved being a musical director, pianist, accompanist, jazz organist, rock musician and teacher.

As a musical director Grant has worked on many theatre productions. As a session musician he has performed with many legendary performers and played keys on many well-known shows.

Grant can be regularly seen as a pianist with Operatunity music which travel throughout NZ and overseas.

Don’t miss this rollicking show of bravura song styling, dazzling frockage, pin-drop moments and plenty of laughs from a NZ dairy-fed Diva with her feet on the ground and her head amongst the stars.

Performance at Motueka Memorial Hall Thursday, 8 June at 7:30pm Adults $25, Schoolchildren $5 Tickets available at Floral Affaire, High Street, Motueka (cash only) and Door Sales (EFTPOS available)

guardian NRDA to continue supporting businesses and students to explore vocational employment opportunities the

8 WEDNESDAY 7 JUNE 2023

NRDA is welcoming the announcement by the Government under the Budget of two years, continued funding for the Education to Employment programme for Nelson Tasman. This programme is hosted by NRDA and funded through the Ministry for Social Development.

Fiona Wilson, CE of NRDA says “NRDA has hosted this programme for the last two years. In that time, we have engaged with all 13 Nelson Tasman high schools, with over 500 students each year involved in many hands-on, careerfocused events such as Fantastic Futures, industry taster days and industry field trips.”

“Over 100 local businesses have partnered with NRDA, supporting this programme and providing opportunities for students to explore and understand career pathways here in the

region,” says Fiona.

“We know that schools, businesses, and industry value the programme. The announcement allows us to build on the success of the last two years and continue this work on the ground in the region.” says Fiona.

Jacqui, Recruitment Advisor, from Port Nelson says “We value being able to partner with organisations like NRDA to excite the next generation about opportunities here in Nelson. Programmes like this help us to get exposure to a workforce already here in the region.”

Andrea, Careers Coordinator from Nayland College says, “Our students really benefit from seeing the work first-hand and through the programme, they are exposed to amazing opportunities.”

Gareth Power

Gordon, NRDA’s Manager Regional Strategy and Investment, says that Education to Employment aims to increase the number of young people taking up vocational education and training. “We know we have skills shortages in industries such as forestry, the blue economy and construction. This programme provides practical opportunities to strengthen the connection between schools and students, with business and industry.

“We know we have low productivity and low wages compared to the rest of New Zealand, and a high reliance on migrant labour. This programme forms part of the work NRDA is doing to tackle these challenges. It provides exposure to young people considering their future, hope-

fully inspiring them to consider a vocational career in the region and contribute to our regional economy,” says Power Gordon.

On the budget more generally, NRDA is keen to identify opportunities for regional development which does not feature strongly. “This is disappointing at a time when local councils are so stretched for funds, and we face significant challenges in low productivity, low wages and housing affordability.

We are very keen to now investigate with Government any economic development opportunities in the budget for our region, particularly under the Industry Transformation Plans (Horticulture, Digital, Tourism), the Ocean Science and Innovation Hub, and Tourism infrastructure.” says Fiona.

Author to speak about her Inaugural head historical midwifery novel students for TAS

Ever since Marieann Quin was a little tot she has loved mums and babies and that has never waned. Training as a registered nurse, then a child health visitor Marie-ann continued as a self-employed midwife.

She has now completed her historical midwifery novel, ‘Emerald to Pounamu – A Midwife’s Odyssey’ which follows the story of two Irish sisters who lost everything due to the harsh conditions in Ireland at that time and were then sponsored to emigrate to New Zealand.

The scheme in the 1840/50s encouraged settlement and brought potential brides to the colony.

One of the young Irish girls realises her gift of midwifery on board the ship and is then mentored by the ship’s doctor as his assistant and a German settler who is an experienced midwife.

Tapawera Area School is always looking at ways to enhance students’ leadership opportunities so this year they commenced a new tradition and appointed Head Students.

“This has allowed exceptional students to further develop as leaders and have two students support our kura in our time of change,” says principal Sarah Coard.

“The student leaders are role models for our student body, and they also gather the voice to support these times of change.”

Year-13 students Cameron Hatton and Rosa Cameron are the successful applicants the Senior Leadership team decided on after receiving several applications.

“My hope for this role is to strengthen the connection between the primary school and secondary school as I believe that every-

I look forward to learning more about the junior students as the year progresses,” says Cameron.

The School has always encouraged leadership opportunities in the form of house captains, mentors, sports coaches and umpires so when it became apparent there were several students seeking further opportunities, it was agreed for the first time, the school would take the next step and ask students to apply for two head student positions.

“The head student role has always been something I felt I was missing out on due to

the fact we didn’t have that position at Tapawera Area School. When it was first mentioned as a possibility, I was very excited about the prospect,” says Rosa.

“I am very proud to have been chosen to lead the student body alongside Cameron and I think it’s a fantastic way to end my school career in Tapawera.”

Sec. Leader Mr Haunch says the pair will be “excellent role models carrying forward our school values of FIRE; Friendship, Integrity, Respect and Effort”.

Mid-season Senior Rugby Roundup

By: Alborn.

Brendan

The Kahurangi Men’s Division One side play Nelson this Saturday, 10 June at Neale Park in the fourth round of the Tasman Trophy.

Having recorded a 42-all draw against Stoke in the first round and then two hard fought wins over Waitohi and Waimea Old Boys, Kahurangi currently sit third on the competition ladder.

Central top the table with 15 points, and although Stoke and Kahurangi both have 13 competition points, Stoke are in second spot due to their superior points difference.

Kahurangi’s final home game of the regular competition will be played against Moutere at Cooks Reserve as part of Riwaka’s club day on June, 17 before two away games, against Central and Marist, to close out the regular competition phase of the Tasman Trophy.

Kahurangi’s draw back in May, 42-42, at home to a resur-

gent Stoke side, was only levelled by the Hawks in the final act of the game with outside back Cameron Griffiths scoring in the corner. Kahurangi had seemed to be cruising to a victory at times in the game only to find Stoke hadn’t read that script, fighting back repeatedly before taking a handy lead with minutes to play. Although Kahurangi scored seven tries to Stoke’s five, the Hawk’s first five-eighths and goal kicker, Stewart Cruden had an off day with the boot, while Stoke’s kicker, Taine Robinson, was successful with four of his five conversion attempts and also kicked three penalty goals.

The Hawk’s 24-0 win over Waitohi on May, 20 was played out in abysmal conditions in Picton, conditions that Kahurangi coped with much better with than the local lads did.

Kahurangi put on a defensive masterclass effectively shutting down anything Waitohi could throw at them, and also dominating

the set piece in the four-try victory.

Much of Kahurangi’s most recent match, an 18 point victory over Waimea, made for frustrating viewing. Largely indicative of the Hawk’s season to date, for short periods of the game, Kahurangi’s attack was an irresistible force with forwards and backs combining seamlessly in sweeping movements. But at other times, basic errors and poor decision making killed the team’s momentum and ability to keep the pressure on their opponents. A number of near certain tries were squandered with players holding onto the ball rather than exploiting the overlaps they had created with a simple draw and pass. Although the match was a comfortable enough win to the Hawks, there was a real feeling of frustration within the squad of not having converted more of their scoring chances.

Frontrower Josh Te Hira is having his best season to date for the

Kahurangi, defending stoutly, nailing his core duties but also being the team’s top try scorer with six tries. Te Hira’s frontrow partnership with Seth Brown and Thomas Robinson is yet to be bettered this season and Devon Lunn has added some good impact, mostly coming on from the bench. Second rower Harry Curtis has been in dominant form and while Hunter Leppien was injured and therefore unable to play the first rounds of the season, he has been an absolute menace in each of his starts.

Flankers Seta Baker and Tim Sail have been into everything while first five eighths Stewart Cruden and wing/centre Christian Kelly have been the pick of the backs.

While the Kahurangi Premier Women’s team (pictured) couldn’t get their maiden victory last year despite giving it their all, 2023 has seen a complete reversal with five wins and only one loss. Kahurangi’s final competition game is scheduled for

1.15pm on June, 10 at Takaka’s Recreation Park, a fixture the Golden Bay based players in the team will be looking forward to.

Kahurangi are assured a spot in the finals with the only thing yet to be decided is whether they are first or second to Marist. Although the results have been pleasing to coaches Weesang Paaka and Bevan Thomas, they are particularly pleased with how the team has gelled considering Kahurangi features a staggering seven players in their very first year of rugby and eight Motueka High School players making their senior rugby debut.

Weesang says, “The sprinkling of FPC and Tasman MAKO High Performance players in key positions spread throughout the

forwards and backs have done an excellent job of mentoring the younger and less experienced players.”

The team has continued to perform despite losing their captain to injury. “Our leadership group has changed since our captain Hannah Kelly got injured. She led the team fearlessly through the first round, in which we were unbeaten, and now Tanita Garnett is our captain and she has had an outstanding season so far,” says Weesang before adding, “We are not the biggest or most experienced team but we are cohesive, fit and improving our skill-set every week.”

The Men’s Division Two competition has seen four rounds played to date with Riwaka having won

three and drawn one game to sit second on the table. Huia has played three games for a win and two losses to sit in eight spot in the 11 team competition.

Riwaka were pipped

by Stoke in a tense Division Two final last season and look likely to be well in the mix when the knockout stage of the competition rolls around in late July.

Huia looked to have found some cohesion and fluidity in their last match, a 40 to nil win over Waimea Old Boys, and would be at short odds to climb the ladder into play-off contention over the next few weeks.

Huia play Nelson at Trafalgar Park Saturday, 10 at 1.15pm while Riwaka are also playing away, taking on Takaka at 3pm.

Come for a paddle or a plunge Whether you fancy a paddle or a plunge the Riwaka School mid-winter swim and duck race is back.

The school fund raiser is always a fun mid-winter experience at Kaiteriteri Beach but covid and weather have meant this is the first time it has been able to run since 2019. It’s back and will be better than ever says Riwaka School principal Adele Lidgard.

“Apparently a group of ducks can be called a paddling, a raft, a flock or a team. Well I say come on down, bring a team, take a plunge, a paddle, or just raft up and be part of the flock watching your duck head for the finish line.

It’s a great day at the beach with friends and whanau,” she says.

The duck race involves over 2,000 numbered yellow and blue ducks being dropped from the bridge at the Kaiteriteri estuary. The outgoing tide takes the ducks to the finish line where they are scooped up by boats to ensure no duck ends up in Tasman Bay. The first ducks to cross the finish line win great prizes for the people with the corresponding numbers.

Support local Friends of Riwaka School are organising the event and doing the hard yards behind the scenes says committee member Louise Fry. She says the event wouldn’t happen without support from parents and teachers and the school has been delighted and humbled by the backing from local businesses. Prizes including Abel Tasman trips, cafe vouchers, Breakers tickets, gift baskets and pamper packs are all up for grabs.

“It’s great to see everyone getting behind the fund

Riwaka School students get into the spirit of their upcoming mid-winter swim and duck race. Back; Kaira and Pixie. Front from left; Hazel, Pippa, Asher and Boden. raiser. As the school is at the gateway to the Abel Tasman National Park we have had amazing support from tourism businesses in the park and around Riwaka, Kaiteriteri and Marahau. We are also delighted that Motueka businesses are keen to be involved in what is a really fun family day out for the community. Thanks so much to everyone,“ says Louise.

The duck race and mid-winter swim is the main fund raiser for the school and this year the money raised will be used towards new library furniture, sports equipment and education outside the classroom. There’s a big dig, bouncy castles, food, ice creams, cake stalls, book stalls and more.

Are you chill enough?

For the brave or slightly crazy it’s a chance to embrace the elements with a mid-winter swim at one of the most beautiful beaches in Aotearoa. After their plunge the swimmers get to warm up with soup, or a sausage, and a warm shower at the Kaiteriteri camp ground. The Motueka Fire Brigade will be onsite as spotters and first aiders on the day.

The Kaiteriteri Recreation Reserve have been longtime supporters of the fundraiser. “It’s a fantastic family event with entertainment, activities and hot food with all proceeds going towards fundraising for Riwaka School.

Bring the kids, warm clothes, and don’t forget your wetsuit,” says Mason Fitzgerald the CEO of Kaiteriteri Recreation Reserve.

While Mason may be promoting the wetsuit, those who have more adventurous costumes will be very well rewarded. The best dressed swimmers, whether individuals or families, will be up for some awesome prizes.

“We wanted to give a shout out for this awesome river bird and were keen to let people know that we have whio right on our doorstep, in Abel Tasman National Park and Kahurangi National Park,” says DOC community ranger Sally Leggett.

This year DOC and Project Janszoon will be joined by the Abel Tasman Birdsong Trust. They will have an activity tent with a whio quiz, ‘find the whio’ and other duck games. There will be the opportunity to use DOC’s telemetry gear to track down a toy whio hiding at the beach and plenty of whio and conservation themed prizes.

Over the last five years DOC and Project Janszoon have reintroduced 41 whio to the Abel Tasman National Park, with successful breeding recorded in the last two years. “Our education programme is one of our ways of future proofing the gains we’ve made and the Riwaka School Duck Race is a lovely way of sharing our successes with the school community and the public,” says Project Janszoon Director Bruce Vander Lee.

CONTRACTORS

A PROFESSIONAL SERVICE

People who are self-employed are sometimes referred to as contractors, or independent contractors. A contractor is engaged by a principal (the other party or business owner) to perform services under a contract for services (commonly called an independent contractor agreement).

Contractors earn income by invoicing the principal for their services. They control the hours they work, how work is done, and use their own tools.

Contractors aren’t covered by most employment-related laws. This means they don’t get things like annual leave or sick leave, they can’t bring personal grievances, and they have to pay their own tax and ACC levies.

General civil law determines most of their rights and responsibilities. Businesses don’t have to hold contractor records.

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 (the Act), independent contractors are treated the same as workers. This means they have the same obligations and rights as other employees when it comes to workplace safety.

Contractors have an obligation to take reasonable care of their own health and safety in the workplace, and to ensure their actions do not place any other individual at risk, as well as complying with any reasonable instruc

tion given by the principal or business owner. The Act also outlines that employers who engage independent contractors, must ensure their health and safety, and the health and safety of those impacted by the tasks being completed by the contractor.

Small business owners engaging independent contractors should ensure that prior to any work being completed, the same work health and safety inductions that are undertaken for employees are completed for the contractors. This ensures all parties are aware of what is required from them, and that the safe practices are being practised across the workplace.

In Tasman/Golden Bay we have many independent contractors who work with heavy machinery for cartage, digging, dumping, loading etc. For example Solly’s in Collingwood, TG Contractors and Chambo’s Digger Hire in Takaka, Chambers and Jackett in Lower Moutere, Doctor Dig in Ngatimoti, Concrete and Metals and Groundworks in Motueka.

In 2018 Stats NZ found that 144,000 New Zealanders, or just over 5 percent of all employed people, worked as self-employed contractors. The survey was conducted at a national level between October and December in 2018, and asked employed people about their work arrangements, employment conditions, and satisfaction with their job and work-life balance during the previous 12 months. This was the first time that Stats NZ had sought to identify contractors and ask about the nature

of work.

At that time, Labour market Statistics Manager Scott Ussher had said that there was considerable interest in contracting, given the perceived trend towards a ‘gig economy’ where people increasingly worked on shortterm contracts or freelance jobs.

The survey results found that men were nearly twice as likely as women to be in contract employment, with 7 percent of employed men and 4 percent of employed women working as contractors.

The industries where contractors made up the highest proportions of the workforce were: • professional, scientific, technical, administrative, and support services (14 percent) • rental, hiring, and real estate services (13 percent) • information media and telecommunications (13 percent) • construction (12 percent).

CONTRACTORS

A PROFESSIONAL SERVICE

Half of those who identified as contractors said they relied on one client or business for most or all of their work. However, a larger proportion (73 percent) said they were usually able to work on contracts with more than one client or business at a time. Over two-thirds (67 percent) said they were able to sub-contract or employ others to assist with their work.

Although some contractors may experience issues such as poor conditions of employment and lack of rights and benefits that employees enjoy – particularly those in highly dependent relationships with a single client or business – the survey found that the vast majority of contractors were satisfied with their jobs and wanted to remain in self-employment.

CHAMBO'S Most contractors reported a relatively high level of autonomy in their work: • percent said the had a lot of control over how their daily work was organised.

• percent had a lot of control over ho their tasks were done.

• percent had a lot of influence on decisions that affected their own work.

Nine out of 10 contractors said they were satisfied or very satisfied with their jobs, similar to the figures for other self-employed people and employees. Additionally, out of 1 contractors said the ould prefer to continue being self-employed rather than have a paid job working for someone else.

Move Your Butt for Bowel Cancer Awareness This month is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month and it’s time to start moving your butt in Bowel Cancer NZ’s Move Your Butt challenge.

Bowel Cancer NZ is a nationwide, patient-focussed charity dedicated to beating bowel cancer through lifesaving awareness, education, advocacy, research and support. Their goal is to reduce the impact of bowel cancer on New Zealanders and communities and to ensure no more lives are lost to this silent killer.

They do this by: Supporting those living with bowel cancer and their families; Educating communities and increasing awareness of bowel cancer symptoms Advocating for nationwide screening Funding research into treatment and ultimately a cure.

One of the ambassadors of Bowel Cancer NZ is Dean Barker, a Kiwi yachtsman who was 46 years old when he was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2019 while training for the America’s Cup. Dean knows that early diagnosis is key and feels “incredibly grateful” for the support and treatment he received.

Dean says, “Men are less likely to go to their doctor if they’re worried. And the old Kiwi attitudes of ‘harden up’ and ‘just get on with it’ don’t help. I want to change that,” he says, “If something doesn’t feel right, go and get it checked out, no matter your age.”

Anyone can get bowel cancer, at any age. It is the second-highest cause of death in New Zealand. Every year, over 3,000 New Zealanders are diagnosed with it, and 1,200 people die of it, including young people.

Dean, along with Breakfast TVNZ presenter JennyMay Clarkson who lost her brother to bowel cancer at age 56, are encouraging Kiwis to move their butts this June and help to raise awareness and funds to beat bowel cancer.

How To Get Your Butt Into Gear

Set Your Challenge – It can be anything that gets you moving more – walking or cycling 20 minuntes a day, doing star jumps with the family – it’s up to you. et eam ogether et a team of friends, h nau or workmates moving together (virtually if needed). You’ll have more fun, stay motivated and raise even more money to beat bowel cancer.

Get Sponsored – Ask your friends, family and colleagues to sponsor your challenge. The more you raise, the more we can support patients, raise awareness and donate to research.

Save Your Butt - The good news is that if bowel cancer is diagnosed early enough, it CAN be beaten. So if you’re worried, check out the symptoms and move your butt to see your doctor

Look Out For Bowel Cancer Symptoms The signs of bowel cancer can come and go. Symptoms can include: bleeding from the bowel, changes in bowel motions, anaemia, abdominal pain or lumps, tiredness or weight loss for no obvious reason So don’t wait to see your GP if you have any of the above. If you still have concerns please seek a second opinion. You’re never too young to get checked. Don’t wait to do a screening test if you are experiencing any bowel cancer symptoms. See your GP straight away.

Time To Screen For people aged 60-74 who are eligible for publicly funded health care, the government runs a free National Bowel Screening Programme (NBSP) every two years.

When it is your turn to be screened, you will receive an invitation letter, a consent form, and a free bowel screening kit.

Screening is for people who do not have obvious

symptoms of bowel cancer. If you don’t qualify for the NBSP, please see your GP about the screening options available to you.

Bowel screening is important. Bowel cancer can develop without any warning signs, but 90% of cases can be treated successfully if caught early. Screening is one of the most effective ways to find bowel cancer early before it spreads.

The screening test is called a ‘Faecal Immunochemical Test’ (FIT), and it checks for tiny traces of blood in your bowel motion (stool), not for bowel cancer itself. Blood can leak from pre-cancerous polyps or early-stage bowel cancer and pass into bowel movements before any other bowel cancer symptoms become apparent. The test is clean, quick and simple to do. You do it by yourself at home.

WEDNESDAY 7 JUNE 2023 21

Mot Buckets continue to grow with another team This year the Mot Buckets basketball teams have expanded to two Mot Buckets Jnr teams with an A team and a B team.

The A team entered into the intermediate division 1 comp and the B team into the intermediate division 2 comp, but after the first rounds the B team was moved up into the division 1 comp alongside the A team.

Which is an amazing achievement for Motueka Basketball to have 2 teams competing at the highest level in the intermediate grade.

The A team has won their first four games of the season and is the only unbeaten team left in division 1. Hamish

who is the captain of the A team has played incredibly well and his leadership and experience from playing in the team last year is really showing.

The B team has won three out of their four games. It has been a real jump up in opposition since moving into the division 1 grade but the team is showing great skills and learning quickly what it takes to compete and get better at this level of basketball.

None of this would be possible if it wasn’t for their sponsors, who this year really turned it on as not only did they grow to a second team but they have kitted them out with incredible team gear

including uniforms, training tops, hoodies and gear bags.

The goal when setting this team up last year was to take all financial restrictions out of the equation for families, so that regardless the best basketball talent could play and get the coaching needed.

So again, a massive thank-you to sponsors: NBS, Motueka Creamery, Harcourts Motueka & Mapua, R&R Kayaks and Motueka 2030.

None of this is possible without coaches Rohan Haskell, Tim Hikuroa and Michael Greaney who have given up their time to train and coach these teams.

Members of the Mot Buckets Basketball squads who have had a great start to their season.
