Senior Constable Joseph Sturkenboom, known as Jos, was a police officer for 36 years, spending 30 of those in search and rescue and 22 visiting the region's schools.
He died of bowel cancer on July 13, aged 60.
"He never said a wrong word about any body. He was humble and embarrassed when people wanted to help him or fundraise for him when he was sick. He told them to donate it to the Cancer Society, bowel cancer research or the West Coast Special Olympics," his wife, Joanne, said.

Department of Conservation (DOC) operation Tidy Fox incident controller Owen Kilgour said good progress was being made on the clean up, with high numbers of volunteers and help from the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF).
"We are still calling for volunteers for the weeks to come. The help of volunteers is crucial to getting this work done, and we want to get as many volunteers as possible while the NZDF is here until the middle of August," he said.

Under contract law, parking companies can only claim for "the actual and reasonable costs they incurred". Charging $65 for a short overstay in an empty carpark is as far from reasonable as you can get.

Hi neighbours, do you love Kmart?

Hundreds of thousands of inexpensive items that pass through the retail giant's checkouts every year, so it's only to be expected there will be recalls – Kmart even has a recalls page on its website, and there are 31 products on the list.
The $55 timber Occasional Chair is the latest casualty, although this is a withdrawal rather than a recall. We don't know the reason for its withdrawal, except Kmart says it is for "a potential quality issue". But what other products have been found wanting?

A new law in Wales says schools are required to have gender-neutral uniforms.
This means that while uniforms can include both skirts and pants, schools can't label these as "girls" or "boys" items.
