Napier man drives lawnmower to town

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

Ray Jane can hardly complain about the service he received from local police. The elderly Napier man didn’t have a lot of transportation options after his car was stolen, so he took the lawnmower for a drive.

Ray Jane can hardly complain about the service he received from local police. The elderly Napier man didn’t have a lot of transportation options after his car was stolen, so he took the lawnmower for a drive.

Local police officer Sophia Holloway​ came across Jane, 87, in early August after he was spotted driving his ride-on mower down the road. Jane told Stuff he was attempting to drive to the Napier Police Station to inform them about his stolen vehicle.

“Well I wasn’t going to walk there. So I took the mower as it was the only means of transport I had. I drove it on the road as it was much smoother compared to the footpath.”

After being spotted by Holloway he received assistance in reporting the theft to his insurance company. She also took him to the supermarket and referred him to Age Concern to get assistance with transport.

A saucy rebrand brings te reo Māori to Kiwi fridges and dinner tables

The Team Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

Hi neighbours,

Are you looking for a new pantry staple? A Canterbury restaurateur has launched his own te reo Māori-branded tomato sauce after boycotting another for “bastardising” the language.

Fush owner Anton Matthews has teamed up with Barkers to produce Kīnaki Tomato after removing Watties from his Christchurch restaurant because the company poked fun at Māori place names in an advertising campaign.

Matthews, who has become well-known for championing the country’s indigenous language, is proud to have te reo Māori on sauces displayed on his tables.

When he went in search of a new sauce to accompany his kaimoana (fish) and chips in January, they picked a sauce they loved, and asked the Geraldine-based condiment producer if it could collaborate on a label.

“I’m really stoked that they’ve taken a chance on us.”

Hawke's Bay is struggling with the double whammy of severe drought and Covid-19.

Currently, 2,200 more people have lost their jobs compared to last year and 67 per cent of work ready job seekers were Māori and Pasifika.

A Regional Economic Recovery report presented to the Regional Council’s corporate and strategic committee by Sarah Tully presents a grim picture.

Tully said throughout the Covid-19 response, $330m had been paid in wage subsidies across the region, with 52 per cent of jobs covered in the first payment and 10 per cent in the extension.

With booster funding from central government, council supported 728 local businesses with $1.5 million of assistance under the Regional Business Partners programme.

Tully said like the rest of New Zealand, the Hawke’s Bay economy was forecast to decline further, impacted by reduced visitor numbers and rising unemployment levels.
