MP delivers books B
arrytown School was visited last week by West Coast-Tasman MP Damien O’Connor who delivered a book to each child as part of the Duffy Books school programme. The philosophy of the programme aims to ‘break the cycle of booklessness’ and schools that are part of the programme receive books once a term.
The last two weeks of the current term is Government Book Week with the New Zealand Government funded one book per child, with MPs invited to present the books. Special role models go to the schools in terms one and three and spread the message of ‘It’s Cool to Read and Cool to Achieve’. While at the school, students helped Mr O’Connor plant a rengarenga lily he had gifted.

THE WEST COAST BEAT West Coast blue skies
West Coast area commander Mel Aitken
KIA ora koutou West Coasters and beyond. What a magic place we live in. As I write this piece, I am reminded of all of the ugly weather hitting parts of New Zealand, snow in the south, floods in the north, while we bask in blue skies and bright sunshine in the middle of the year. I constantly remind the Tasman District Commander and my Nelson-based colleagues that I actually live on the sunshine coast, which I often follow up with a pic of one of the many amazing locations we have to be proud of and grateful for. I am sure he thinks I am taking the mickey! Despite the relatively mild days we have at this time of the year, it’s a good reminder about winter driving conditions. Many of us will travel outside of the coast across to Canterbury, down south or up towards Nelson where road conditions can easily catch us out. So, if you are planning on travelling over the next couple of months, think about completing a good vehicle
check before you travel — tyre tread, brakes, wipers, and whether you need to carry a set of chains. Snow, ice, grit and reduced visibility can also be problematic, so think about your speed and increase your following distance. Make sure before you head out your windows are clear of ice and condensation. It may take a few minutes longer but will make you and other road users that much safer. Allow extra time and be patient. We all want to get safely to our destination. On another note, many Coasters, particularly those who have had children attend school throughout the West Coast over the past 20 years, would know our school community officer, senior constable Jos Sturkenboom. It was a pleasure on Thursday to be able to celebrate 35 years of Jos being a member of the New Zealand Police. I joked about the fact that when Jos started in police, I was a mere sic years old and attending primary school where my
recollection of having a local policeman come and work in the school was a mixed bag of excitement at seeing the flashing lights and hearing the siren, and maybe being allowed to try on the policeman’s hat — to that mixed with nervousness because in those days we were taught to fear the police as they dealt with bad people and would punish you if you did something wrong. How times have changed (and for the better) in the age now where our police purpose is actually focused on keeping people safe and making people feel safe, where prevention is at the forefront of our mind-sets, thinking and action. Jos personifies the police core values and has played an integral role in fostering positive bonds between the young people and police on the West Coast over the past 20 years that he has held the school community officer role. Take care out there, stay warm and look after one another. Hei kona mai — Mel Aitken

okitika teenager Ruby Knightbridge, a volunteer for the West Coast Riding for the Disabled Association for the past two years, has been named runner-up for the title of New Zealand RDA young volunteer of the year. The 15-year-old was nominated on her character, skills and impact on the riding group. “Ruby always has a smile, is happy to work hard, and is a real favourite with many of our riders. Many of us — volunteers, coaches, parents, and teachers — have been blown away by how much she has achieved with some challenging riders. She is astute in her recognition of people’s abilities and challenges. And she is very articulate in any discussion about how best to progress riders and horses,” RDA says. Since joining, Ruby has volunteered on all four days and last year completed her level three equine skills certificate. During the days when RDA was not operating she cared for one of the group horses: “Buzz has become her firm favourite, and she has successfully competed on him in showing, jumping and competitive trail riding.”

The ‘free-wheelers’ gather ready to head down the ‘airstrip’ part of the Denniston Road – Kerry Silverwood, left, Rose O’Connor and Caelan Nichol.
Happy to reach Waimangaroa – Rose O’Connor, left, with her new best little buddy Caelan Nichol with his injured knee and Kerry Silverwood.
Mountain Biking 101 A beginner’s guide to the Denniston Coalfields Historic Area by Rose O’Connor in Westport
I
have loved Denniston ever since my seventh form geography teacher at Buller High School encouraged, or coerced, me into studying the town’s development for a school project — belated thank you Mr Crawshaw. I don’t, however, love or remotely even like mountain biking. When I was recently invited to join a group of keen bikers to explore the tracks behind Denniston, I threw caution to the wind and agreed to go. After all, with seven and nineyear-old boys tagging along, how difficult could it be? One of the nine-year-olds asked early on where I had gone. Well I liked staying out of harm’s way in the corner of the car park but his concern for this aged biker was endearing so I attached myself to him. And we were off heading south, uphill along the tarseal. Mountain biking was easier than I remembered. Ah, but then we had to actually veer off onto the track to the right — a goat track. Oh no. That meant descending into a little rocky ditch. The nine-year-old got off and walked his bike through but I got through. So, as we followed some old mining tracks transformed by keen volunteers into a mountain biker’s paradise, I realised a few things — quite a few things, actually. Firstly, nine-year-old children don’t value their lives in quite the same way as those aged 21-plus. They also seem to bounce off the rocky ground a lot more easily than their older counterparts. When a nine-year-old says that it’s hard to bike on the sandy bits then you should take note because heavier bikes and somewhat heavier passengers tend to sink even more quickly, stop even more abruptly and have less gracious landings.
The terrain changed remarkably quickly from rocks to scree, sand, mud, tussocky grass and through to boggy swamp and back again. Bikes tend to stop very abruptly in swamp. Apparently, the view in places was amazing. Historical facts were supplied by the very knowledgeable Kerry Silverwood from Waimangaroa. So, we wove our way along the meandering track and eventually ended up on the tarsealed road at the start of the town. Had our intrepid journey really only taken 30 odd minutes? I already had saddle seat along with a few bumps and bruises. However more was in store as we followed the road back to the car park. That road was amazingly steep but as that very wise nine-year-old said, “What comes down must go back up Rose”. Once on the tarseal I dared to look down and realised that far from being in low gear, I had actually been in a medium gear the whole way around. And over the old quarry track we headed — oh how much difference using a low gear makes to biking up a hill. We slipped and slid as we walked our bikes down a very steep track only to be met by a gently emerging ‘highway’ half way down. And finally, back to the tarseal and a short stint to my by now beloved car park. Surely, that must be the end. With fingers crossed, I listened with trepidation to the conversations that followed and heard ‘free-wheeling’ and ‘Denniston Track’. Someone suggested we bike down the road to Waimangaroa? No way! I was too old! Well, this was fun. I get the free-wheeling bit now — no pedalling — this suits me fine — and fast — amazingly fast! On reaching Waimangaroa, I did a triumphant winner’s gesture reminiscent of a Commonwealth victory. No one was around to see though, with my wee buddy hitching a ride off the last of the hill.
Time for a chin wag while the others catch up - Kerry Silverwood, left, and Richard Nichol.

The Model A showing the advertising with one of the McKay twins in the driver’s seat.

Reefton’s vintage spirit by Claire Ward
T
he Reefton Distilling Co is getting closer to opening, and its brand is now being carried by a distinctive bill board. Local identities and twins Steffan and Nigel McKay have agreed to the doors of their 1929 Ford Model A tourer being tastefully emblazoned with the distillery’s gold logo. In the past week or so the green vintage Ford has been seen around Reefton making a distinctive mark for the new enterprise. Sean Whitaker, co-founder and head distiller and Patsy Bass, co-founder and general manager both said the McKay twins had been on board right from the beginning of this venture as historians, shareholders, water prospectors and inspirations. “We call them our brand ambassadors.” Mr Whitaker and Ms Bass jokingly
mentioned to the brothers the idea of putting some distillery advertising on their Ford. When they agreed to it, they just went ahead and organised to have it done. “We’ve been overwhelmed with this latest show of support by the twins in giving us permission to do this for us.” Steffan and Nigel had long wanted a 1929 Model A, and finally found one for sale on Trade Me in Auckland. The car’s former owner had been gifted it by the business she had worked for, for many years. The elderly woman and her husband had continued using it over 40 years but due to their age decided to give it up. The twins have had the car for about three months and took it on its first proper outing a fortnight ago as members of the West Coast Vintage Car Club. The car is in perfect condition inside and out, and the gold lettering of the advertising compliments it beautifully.
Winter advice from St John ST John has issued five key messages to ensure the public don’t place undue pressure on the ambulance service this winter. St John medical director Dr Tony Smith said the most important thing people can do to help this winter is get immunised against influenza and for people to seek advice from a health professional if they are unwell. Each winter 111 ambulance calls surge, which despite St John’s best efforts to triage and treat people in-home, places a lot of pressure on the ambulance service and the hospital emergency departments. In 2017, the winter months saw an extra 4000 ambulance call-outs in July and 3000 in August. Based on influenza surveillance last year more than 18,000 hospital admissions on average were estimated with flu in New Zealand. St John has issued five key Choose Well messages to the public to help: 1. Choose well — immunise against flu, treat minor symptoms at home. 2. Seek help — if symptoms persist, call a doctor, Healthline or visit a pharmacy or health professional early for advice.
Make
3.
Prepare — for those with medical conditions such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or something where symptoms exacerbate during the colder months, keep on top of routine medication 4. Self-care — common colds, coughs, sore throats can usually be very well managed at home with the assistance of a local pharmacy 5. In an emergency — call 111, and St John will find the most appropriate help through a clinical assessment. This may not be an ambulance or transport to an emergency department, but the right care, at the right time. This is the first year the St John 111 Clinical Hub has been in place nationwide, helping to triage emergency 111 calls to make sure callers receive the most appropriate advice and treatment. “Likewise, this helps us to ensure that the patients in the most urgent need are receiving an appropriately urgent response,” Dr Smith said. The latest flu season had been “catastrophic
yourself at
internationally”, particularly in Europe and the UK. St John had consequently taken a number of measures to ensure the ambulance service here was well prepared. This included a thorough data analysis showing where the peaks and troughs, hot spots, and demand surges were, so that extra resource to those areas could be allocated appropriately — be it more ambulances or more rostered ambulance officers. “St John has taken every step available to it to help ease winter health pressures,” Dr Smith said. “We are asking the public to also play their part by engaging with their GPs and pharmacies early and follow our Choose Well advice.” Winter Wellness — what to do: Call your family doctor first, or Call Healthline free on 0800 611 116, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Nurses are skilled in advising the most appropriate next steps. If it is an emergency or people are unsure, call 111 and St John will find the most appropriate care.
