SET CLOCKS FORWARD FROM STILL 2am SUNDAY MORNING HERE PRESTIGIOUS TROPHY AWARDED TO INSIDE TODAY ‘ENVIRONMENT WARRIOR’ ‘IT’S OK TO TALK’ #Hear4U trailer sends mental health, suicide prevention message by Sophie Rishworth

GRIFFIN Law was blindsided when his best mate Toby Fraser died by suicide last year. He wouldn’t wish on anyone what Toby’s family and friends have been through, he said. “It’s harder than you can imagine, it changes your life completely.” It has been 14 months since Toby died at the age of 21. Griffin and Toby were two peas in a pod — mates since Toby was 14. “It wasn’t, ‘what are you doing this weekend?’ It was, ‘what are we doing this weekend?’,” says Griffin. They talked every day. Griffin says while you can’t change the past, “we can go forward to the future”. So for the past few months he has spent every weekend building a trailer for his new hobby. It will house his TQ midget for speedway events in Gisborne and around the country. Sign-written in large letters on the side is #Hear4U Men’s Mental Health Awareness and Suicide Prevention. “If it helps one person it will help 100,” said Griffin. “When someone takes their own life, their death affects so many people.” HONOURING HIS BEST MATE: The message on the side of Griffin Law’s speedway The movement Hear4U was started by trailer follows the death of his best mate Toby Fraser (left), who ended his life last Gisborne women Krissy Mackintosh, Jo year at just 21 years of age.

Over 50 people rushed to the spot in the hope of winning an MADE IT! air ticket to go anywhere in . Only the first 20 can be winners. At Sponge Bay yesterday, Tahua Pihema and Timata Tapara were 10th and 11th in line. Tahua won a $1 return flight for two to anywhere in the country and Timata Tapara won $50 off a return flight anywhere in New Zealand. “Last time I missed out but this time I was certain I would get there and look I’m number 10!” Tahua said.

‘He has ignited a passion in so many people to ‘A TRUE KAITIAKI’ cherish our country’s flora’ by Matai O’Connor

NEW Zealand’s most prestigious conservation award, the Loder Cup, was presented to East Coast “environment warrior” Graeme Atkins yesterday. Doing the honours was the Minister of Conservation Eugenie Sage. “I never thought in a million years that I would be awarded it,” Department of Conservation East Coast ranger Mr Atkins said. He knows the history of the Loder Cup and that it has been awarded to people he considers “giants of conservation”. When he was first told about the award a few months ago he thought they might have got the wrong person. The presentation was meant to be in August but was postponed because of Covid-19. Instead, Mr Atkins received the award at the Gisborne District Council chambers, surrounded by his whanau, supporters from Ngati Porou and those who have worked with him at the Department of Conservation (DoC). “It feels awesome to see all these people,” he said. “A lot of them have had my back around the Raukumara funding.” Ms Sage referenced this when she made the presentation, saying Mr Atkins’ advocacy for restoring the forests of the had helped secure a record $34 million investment in Te Raukumara Pae Maunga project. But, “this is not just an award for me’, Mr Atkins said. “It is all of theirs, it’s about sharing the love. “The mahi we do is not ego mahi, it’s for everybody and the sooner people realise that, the better,” Mr Atkins said.

He is now an instructor there, at Te Kura Awhio gym. He has trained almost every day since he started six years ago. He had “bad habits”, playing video games and eating unhealthy food, but wanted to change his lifestyle, he said. Initially, he took up running, often 15 kilometres a day, but realised he wasn’t learning anything pounding the pavement, so he looked to take up something else. MMA gave him the opportunity to also learn life skills like self-defence while making him the “best person” he could be. “It made me realise how important my time is and how I can do so much more with it.” “Being a fit and healthy person gives you a positive mindset.” Despite the perceived brutality of “cage fighting”, mixed martial arts is a safer sport than boxing, according to a study from the University of Alberta. The researchers reviewed the post-fight medical records of 1183 MMA fighters and 550 boxers over a 10-year period and concluded MMA had more injuries (59 percent to 50 percent), but due to the smaller gloves it was more often surface- level damage like cuts or bruising. Loss of consciousness was found to be less common in MMA (4.2 percent to 7.1 percent), serious eye injuries were three times less likely, and broken bones were also less common. Maxwell is set on improving every aspect of his life and has started taking tutoring for English and numeracy after an unsuccessful army application. Despite the rejection, he sees it as HELPING HIM TO BE HIS BEST: Alex Maxwell practises on a grappling dummy in the gym. He says taking up mixed martial arts a positive.
