Yes, I lived in a booze culture when I was younger. The ironic thing is I am asked for ID 15 years later. It has definitely toughened up and wholesalers have become more responsible.

Yes, but it was a very long time ago in Auckland. I used to go out under-aged. I only ever got asked for ID once and I freaked out.

No, haven’t tried. There’s no point.

Haka attempt draws 2500 to Tahuna Beach

Rangi Kohe performs Ka mate with 2500 other people at Tahunanui Beach on Saturday.

Kylah Leary attempts the haka last Saturday.

A touch of rain could not stop more than 2500 people of all nationalities celebrating a year until the Rugby World Cup with a mass haka at Tahunanui Beach.

While the world record for largest haka was not quite achieved, it was a major community success say orgainisers.

Although rain was the likely reason for fewer participants, the attempt was a win for members of the community who came together today and over the past couple of months in an unprecedented way, says Mike Elkington.

“I’ve been training Kiwis and Germans and South Africans and Chinese … people from all walks of life to do the haka these past weeks and I’ve been really affected by the incredible energy and enthusiasm they’ve all had about connecting to New Zealand’s iwi heritage. I’m really proud of everyone who joined in on this adventure.”

Mike and his team of trainers estimate they’ve trained well over

4,000 people in parks across Nelson, at community centres, and in local businesses. Today’s haka attempt registered 2,594 with hundreds more spectators looking on.

“I’ve enjoyed meeting so many people of such a wide range of ages and backgrounds. I was amazed to see some of our older brothers and sisters coming out to training sessions just to be there, just to take part.”

Nelson Mayor Kerry Marshall says the haka brought people together to celebrate their community and their heritage.

“I know that Mike and his team have been approaching this from a perspective of inclusivity and openness, and I’m touched and heartened by that.

“People at the training sessions have told me how welcomed they felt and how ‘Kiwi’ they feel now that they’ve learned something significant – and let’s face it, very cool – about our culture and about what being a New Zealander means.”

Practising the haka at Tahunanui Beach last Saturday are Nelson boys from left; George Franklin, 11, Simon Anderson, 10, Brad Lindbom, 10, Ollie Franklin, 8, Alex Lindbom, 8, Ben Anderson, 12 and Henry Anderson, 8. Photos: Andrew Board.

WASA festival set for take off Broadgreen Intermediate students got wild and sneaky last week, unveiling some colourful luggage trolleys at Nelson Airport as part of the Wild and Sneaky Art Festival.

The festival is a fun and edgy public festival where you can roll up your sleeves and get wildly creative with a bunch of family and friends. It brings together a wide range of creative workshops, adventures, social events, competitions and experiences designed to celebrate the creativity in all of us says director Nickola Blunt.

The first “sneak out” was courtesy of Air Nelson, Broadgreen Intermediates’ after school art class, its art teacher Jeana Packer and a bit of creative inspiration by WASA! directors Craig Wilson, Julia Kelly and Paul Libeau, Air Nelson’s Airport Manager.

In the last two weeks, students of Broadgreen Intermediate have been deciding what kind of WASA! works of art to splash on the Air Nelson luggage trolleys.

“When Craig approached me with one of his ‘wild and sneaky ideas’, and asked if my students be interested in painting trolleys at the airport I realised this was a fantastic opportunity for my extension art students to create works in our community which are seen by the public,” says Jeana.

The ten day festival starts on October 1. For more information check out www.wasa.co.nz.

I should know, I caught crabs as a kid!

Hullo I'm Greg Buckett. I'd like to tell you a true story. I was raised a keen fisherman, catching blue cod by the bin-full with dad in the days when you could catch them anywhere. My mate and I would camp in remote bays, snorkel for paua by day and spear paddle crabs in the evening. We lived like kings in our own back yard until I turned 15. I had ankle trouble after a running race at school and I was taken to hospital for tests. By the morning I was completely crippled from head to toe, I even struggled to eat.

Then they told me; Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, and with that diagnosis my life changed dramatically, no more rugby with the mates, diving with my buddy or fishing with dad. I was in a state of shock.

After two months hospital treatment, a teacher told me I had little chance of passing school certificate, so I left to go selling TVs and stereos; hardly a favorite choice as I was used to the hard graft of the family farm.

By 18 my arthritis had gone into remission and I thought I was finally free from this painful and crippling disease. Norwegian trawlers immediately replaced retail and I relished the freedom of the seas and life of a hardcore fisherman, but my thrill was short-lived. The arthritis returned with a vengeance, shackling me with the sickness benefit. These were my darkest days, but I made a choice to fight back, returned to school and passed my commercial skippers ticket. I was soon suffering excruciating pain and on crutches. I was

After forming my own crab fishing company, I joined a friend and also went

The arthritis remained...

Two years later at age 25, I finally succumbed and went in for my hip replacement, but my femur split down the middle like bamboo during surgery. After surgeons wired it up I was good to go.

When you finally get your legs back, you don't walk, you run!

In this case it was running water taxis in the Abel Tasman for Haddy legendary for his capacity for work. Business was booming: we started at sunrise and got home after sunset, seven days a week for seven months with half a day off on Christmas day but loving the life!

The good times didn't last and you could say my 'Buckett' sprung a leak. I wasn't bulletproof and suffered two months on my back with no hip because of a blood infection and later underwent a shoulder replacement and suffered adverse reactions to my medication.

I was open to try anything that might help me and, fortuitously, I met Aaron, who suggested I try taking Glucosamine and

promoting my own special formulation and brand of Glucosamine and Omega 3, and it quickly became hugely popular among the locals. I soon found myself so busy making Joint Manager that I became too busy for crab fishing, so I decided to concentrate fully on o2b Healthy; and researching and manufacturing Joint Manger that is now my way of life.

How ironic it is that Glucosamine actually does come from crabs … maybe this was meant to be……….?

for Nelson City Council.

I’m listening to Nelson about: • Important community issues • Reviewing our sports and recreational facilities • Meeting the needs of our older generation • Improving our city infrastructure Drop me a line with your views at: phil.thompson.nelson@gmail.com

Hello, My name is Phil Thompson, Nelson City Council Candidate. I wish to become part of a smart, enlightened, transparent and visionary council that celebrates Nelson.

When elected, I will enthusiastically support the elevation of Nelson as “the lifestyle city of New Zealand” for all residents, across all generations. How this is done could be as simple and affordable as improving and maintaining our core amenities such as parks, streets, cycle and walkways, squares, and foreshore areas, and linking and celebrating them through clever design and community activity.

I have the focus to positively confront the challenges our city faces.

Vote for me and I will bring energy, leadership and the big picture to your council. It is time for a council that delivers what you want.

Your listening councillor.

Awards to find Nelson’s best neighbour The hunt for Nelson’s best neighbour is on, although it appears the judges may have a hard task of picking out a clear winner.

The Good Neighbour Awards are being held for the first time in Nelson this year with nominations for the awards closing on October 1.

Fourteen entries have been received so far and reading through them Neighbour Support coordinator Kim MacDonald is already finding it tough.

“I wish I could give them all an award, there are some great nominations in here and on some entries people from the whole street have signed the nomination,” she says.

Reasons people have nominated their neighbours to date include: welcomes new neighbours, lifts heavy items, mows lawns and edges, takes dogs for walks, grows vegetables and gives them away, helping out with flooded home, helped out in medical emergencies, helped with locked out neighbours, helped love and support after death of spouse, drives people to appointments, shares compost, introduces people to Nelson sights, feeding pets, set up Neighbourhood Support Group.

The awards coincide with Neighbour’s Week at the start of November.

“Neighbours are often the peo-

ple who are there for you when no one else is.

“We urge people to let us know what you neighbour has done and they might win a special prize for being such a good neighbour,” says Kim. There will be a prize for each of the four community constable areas, including Stoke, Tahunanui, Victory and Nelson.

To enter send an email to nsupport@xtra.co.nz or post your entry to Neighbourhood Support, P O Box 2101, Stoke, Nelson 7041.

Let Kim know the name and address and outline why the person is a Good Neighbour.

If you have any photos please attach them to the email.

Gabes Callaghan reckons he is the nosiest deaf guy around, but it will be his shirt making all the noise this Friday.

Loud Shirt Day is the annual appeal of The Hearing House and the Southern Cochlear Implant Paediatric Programme, two independent charities dedicated to enabling deaf children with cochlear implant or hearing aids to listen and speak like their hearing peers.

Gabes, 16, received the cochlear implant when he was three and can now hear although those sounds can be very muffled. “I can hear but I can’t make out the words but I can read lips and pick up what’s being said,’’ he says. The implant has allowed Gabes to stay in Nelson and attend mainstream schooling, an option that would be highly unlikely without the implant. It

Elect

has also allowed him to indulge in one of his favourite activities, listening to loud music.

“Everyone complains about it, I’m the nosiest deaf guy in New Zealand,” he says proudly.

Loud Shirt Day encourages people to wear their loudest shirt this coming Friday to help raise awareness and donate money.

Neither charity charges deaf children or their families for their services.

Gabes mother Debby, manager of City Fitness Gym, says staff at the gym will be taking part in Loud Shirt Day and said it was a great way to break the shackles of usual work attire.

“People have a lot of fun with it, it’s a great way to laugh at each other while raising money for a great cause.”

Woodwork school opens its doors for open day A fine woodworking school in Wakapuaka is opening its doors to a hands-on public open day for the first time this weekend.

The open day gives members of the public a chance to meet and work alongside furniture makers and tutors John Shaw, David Haig, Thorkild Hansen, and Richard Ash. The centre has been operating in Wakapuaka for the past five years and teaches students the finer points of the craft over a year-long course or the basics in two week sessions during the school

holidays. John says the day provides the perfect opportunity to show people exactly what they do and hopefully encourage others to take it up.

“It can provide great balance to people’s lives. It’s at a slower pace and working with wood can be very therapeutic.”

The open day is this Saturday, 18 September, from 10am to 1pm at the Centre for Fine Woodworking, Main Road Wakapuaka, opposite Wakapuaka Hall (800m on left beyond turn off to the Glen).

Nelson bar shakes for Canterbury A Nelson cocktail bar is getting in behind our southern neighbours with its newly named drink – Canterbury Shaker.

Five dollars from each drink, usually worth $14 but now reduced to $12, is to be donated to the Red Cross earthquake fund says Liquid NZ Bar co-owner Craig Lines.

“So many of our customers have been speaking about it and a lot of Nelsonians have connections with Canterbury so we decided to help

out where we could.”

Liquid NZ has also thrown down a challenge to other Nelson bar’s to come up with a drink of its own to help add to the Red Cross fund.

“They are our neighbours and I’m sure if it happened to us they would support us.”

Craig expects hundreds of Shakers to be sold over the next couple of months, the length of the donation, which could put thousands of dollars into the Red Cross fund.

No stopping the healing hands of 83 year-old legend Phillip Rollo From John Kirwan to Hayden Roulston, even Jeremy Brockie, 83-year old exercise physiologist Eddie Saxon has been sought after by some of the most talented athletes in New Zealand sport and he has their photos to prove it.

Eddie has a tradition of putting a photo of every athlete he’s treated on the walls of his clinic. “It’s not what it means to me, but people do like to see their pictures on the wall when they’ve been in the clinic, because no picture goes on the wall unless they’ve been in the clinic.”

Eddie has been treating athletes in Nelson for decades and is sought out by some of the country’s top professionals.

“Being in this business for so long I generate my own ideas and thoughts. I work very hard, and I suppose I’ve got a talent for it,” he says.

Born in England, Eddie studied at the London College of Physical Education, and had been working for six years as a physiologist, before moving to New Zealand with his partner Margot Hannigan when their 6-year old daughter, Tamara, became very ill.

“We lived in a part of Yorkshire that’s notoriously damp, and as my partner is a Kiwi, it [the move to New Zealand] was no problem. First we came to Auckland and didn’t like it, and then we

came to Nelson, which I think is a wonderful place.”

It wasn’t long after arriving in Nelson that Eddie was opening his own clinic.

“As soon as I came to Nelson, people had heard about me, so I started work straight away.”

Thirty years on, Eddie has treated some big names in sport, but says they’re not any more significant to local athletes or people picking up every day injuries.

“I think at the last Olympics there were about nine Olympians who had been in my clinic, but there’s no one person. I’m not flattered by it because it’s just ordinary people who happen to have bags of talent and dedication to what they’re doing.”

The amazing thing about Eddie is the speed he has been able to treat injuries.

When Roulston picked up a knee injury just weeks before the 2003 World Track Championship, he came to Saxon’s sport clinic.

“He was in France and they couldn’t fix him, so he flew in here.”

Roulston went on to win a silver medal in the Men’s Madison along with Greg Henderson.

But just last week Eddie was treating an injury with an even quicker turn around.

When Waimea College student Zoe Walker rolled her ankle the night before she was leaving for the Asian Junior Women’s Volleyball Championship in Viet-

Picture perfect: Stoke exercise physiologist Eddie Saxon in front of one of his picture walls, which contain photos of athletes he has worked on over the years. Photo: Phillip Rollo. nam, Eddie was her first port of call.

“Her mother phoned up in the morning and she came very early. She could only hop in, and I worked on her. But she had only come on one shoe because she didn’t think she could walk. But she could walk afterwards, and I had her back in the afternoon and I had her running around.

She might not be able to play for a few days in but a thing like that is a victory.”

Eddie says his toughest task was when Olympic cyclist Greg Frane

broke his neck in a horrific crash racing in Korea.

“The road was supposed to be sealed off from traffic, he was flying down at 70-80kph and a milk truck pulled out, and he went in to it.

“He broke his neck and many other bones in his body, and they brought him back here. Frankly I thought Greg Frane was going to die, but we got him right. I got him so right that he later went on and did Ironman, and he became the world veteran Ironman champion.”

So what’s his secret? “If you break your neck, come here and ill fix it, and then I’ll be able to tell you,” he jokes.

But his talents don’t end at the clinic. Eddie is also a former professional boxer who still spars in the gym to this day; he has completed 50 marathons and trains runners at the Botanics over the summer.

Even with the busy schedule, Saxon says he will never quit helping athletes.

Italian festival coming to Nelson Forget about booking your European holiday next year, Italy is coming to Nelson.

The Italian national rugby team will be based in Nelson next September, giving the region a chance to welcome the team and celebrate Nelson’s strong Italian heritage, and Aldo Miccio says many from the community have come forward with some fantastic initiatives.

Ideas to turn Nelson Italian in September 2011 include launching an annual Nelson-based Italian Festival, turning restaurants Italian and hosting an Italian Film Festival.

“Nelson is showing its community colours in support of next year’s Rugby World Cup games.

“The fact that Nelson will be the temporary home of the Italian rugby team also gives us a chance for the whole city to bring our Italian heritage alive,” he says.

Aldo recently met with the Rutherford Hotel, and Antonio Cacace, founder of Wellington’s La Bella Italia restaurant and shop, and organiser of the annual Italian Festival, which is due to be held in Wellington later this month, to brainstorm how Nelson can turn Italian.

“Antonio is an inspirational educator of Italian culture; proven by the success of the Wellington Festival and La Bella Italia. It is fantastic that someone from outside

Aldo Miccio with Antonio Cacace are planning an Italian festival in Nelson during next September’s Rugby World Cup. the region, someone as passionate as Antonio, has shown interest in brainstorming the opportunities we have to celebrate our own Italian story.”

Aldo says there could be the potential for his festival to be held in Nelson next year in September, and then potentially annually after that.

“It would be important to talk to

local businesses about the exact timing for an annual festival as this could be huge for us, considering the North Island’s festival in Wellington attracts between 8,000 – 10,000 people each year.

“If we can build a festival anything like Wellington’s, then it will be a fantastic economic boost to the region in the shoulder or off season,” he says.

• This week’s hot topics for the harbour master are kayaks and Jet Ski’s.

Perhaps it’s not clear at present that the whole of the harbour is a five knot zone. National Maritime Law Part 91 states inter alia: “No person may, without reasonable excuse, propel or navigate a vessel (including a vessel towing a person or object) at a proper speed exceeding 5 knots, a) Within 50 meters of any other vessel, raft, or person in the water or b) Within 200m of the shore or of any structure…..”

There are exceptions allowable to this rule, however in general terms all powered driven vessels and vessels sailing but not racing are to stay within 5 knots whilst inside the harbour.

The future bylaw proposes a transit lane where we can exceed 5 knots but that is not in effect yet.

• This week I had cause to speak to some people on jet skis, who, whilst enjoying themselves, were breaking both the rules above. In the proposed by-laws their behaviour could have resulted in over $800.00 worth of penalties.

I encourage all boat users and users of the port to ensure they are well aware of the Nelson City Council by-laws and National Maritime regulations.

• Nine large ships visited the Port this week, amongst which were container ships and a tanker. Eight larger fishing vessels came or went; the naval vessel HMNZS Hawea visited the port for the first time.

• Navigation Aids – The new approach beacon to be placed outside the cut has received resource consent and with the right tide, weather and traffic conditions will be installed.

This beacon is to assist navigation safety for the port providing among other things a clear reference to the edge of the shallows on the eastern side of the outside channel.

This year marks Stuart Hebberd’s 30th year of owning Prices Pharmacy, and he is still loving every day.

Stuart has witnessed some massive changes in new medicines and technology over that time. “The great thing about technology is that it has allowed us to do what we prefer, and that is get out from behind the counter and talk to the customers,” he says.

Since opening the doors in 1960 the

pharmacy has built some strong relationships with many loyal customers, some of whom have been visiting the pharmacy from the beginning. But it has also built up a massive range of services.

Stuart says offering advice is important.

“It is not just about selling products but to give you information to best manage your good health. Some medications do have side effects and affect the absorption of certain vitamins and minerals and our

staff can offer advice on a suitable supplement which can correct this. It is an important part of pharmacy to offer the products and advice that are appropriate for you.”

Providing good car parking for their customers is important, especially suitable for mothers with sick children who find leaving their car difficult. Also, if you need to park on their site to access the surrounding doctors for your prescrip-

tions just ask their friendly staff for permission.

You may not be aware that to make it easy to collect your prescriptions from the doctor, Nicky Prinsep does a collection of prescriptions from all doctors in their area twice daily.

This allows them to have your prescription ready at Prices Pharmacy for your collection.

Stuart, far left, and the well-trained pharmacutical team are dedicated to giving you the right advice and service. and now it is the hayfever season. Allergy is one of the most important, and complex pharmacy categories.

Antihistamines, nasal sprays and eye drops along with the right advice might be sufficient for most people with hayfever. A holistic approach is necessary in those that present symptoms year-after-year, and may have chronic respiratory, food or skin allergies. Stuart recommends patients keep a diary of the food they eat, washing powder used and products they apply to identify allergies. It is not uncommon to identify a food allergy and have hayfe-

ver symptoms reduce.

Stuart says he has been grateful for the support of the community over the last 30 years and he enjoys being able to give something back.

The money is awarded to assist students aged 8 to 18 years achieve their goals in areas of sports, study, arts, volunteering etc. The students do not have to be the best in their area but instead just have a goal they wish to achieve.

the editor Dear editor, Congratulations on a wonderful publication. That was a lovely surprise when I checked my letter box on Tuesday, to find a free local publication. Nelson Weekly is pleasing to the eye, with great colour and photos and the headings are easy to read.

You have catered for all ages in your first edition, which is not an easy thing to do.

There is a good balance of news items school stories, sport updates, thanks for the history story and the feature pull out on Stoke. ‘Out and About’ is a great idea and it was interesting to read the Harbour Master’s weekly happenings, I hope that is to be a regular feature. I anticipate you will have a Readers Letters’ section.

I was very impressed with how up to the minute you were, with the earthquake story on page 4 of the 7 Sept edition, when it had only happened a few days before.

I hope you get lots of support from the local community of Nelson.

Best Wishes, Lois Moreland, Enner Glynn.

Dear Sir, First may I congratulate you on the launch of your wonderful publication something we have needed for a long time - I have often looked jealously at the Waimea Weekly and thought it would be so good to have a Nelson version.

Thank you all for taking this bold step and I wish you all every success for the future.

Kind Regards Ken Joyes, Stoke.

Thank you to all the kind people who phoned, emailed, left Facebook messages and even popped in over the past week to congratulate us on the first issue of Nelson Weekly.

We have quite honestly been overwhelmed.

These two letters are just a snapshot of the support we have received.

Getting our first issue out was a massive team effort but it was made much sweeter with your encouraging support.

Please feel free to write letters to this column by emailing editorial@nelsonweekly. co.nz.

This Week

Nelson girl cooking up a storm in Navy When Nelson teenager Kate Balderstone left school it was the sea that was calling. Phillip Rollo caught up with Kate, a Navy chef, at Port Nelson last week for our weekly series, Your People, At Work.

I wake up around 5:30 in the morning, the hardest part is getting up. Have a shower then have to make my bed, all in the dark. There’s no time limit in the shower because our ship turns salt water in to fresh water, so we use as much water as we want. But I have to give myself about twenty minutes to have a shower, do my hair and get changed before I have work.

If we don’t iron our uniform or if it’s dirty, and if your boots aren’t polished you get drilled. If you don’t have your name tag on you have to do 100 press ups. So that name badge get’s washed on my uniform, it doesn’t come off!

I then start my work about 6am, I work everyday for 12 hours. I cook breakfast by myself, which is bacon, eggs, sausages and hash browns. We cook thirty rations, enough for thirty people, give or take.

We eat, then I clean up, before preparing the salads till ten.

We have random training drills throughout the day, so if the ship catches fire we have to know what to do. We’ve got hoses, and fire extinguishes, all the rig, all the uniform, and breathing apparatus has to be put on.

I’m part of the medical team so I have to know what to do if someone gets injured.

As a chef that’s what we do as well. The firefighting is mean! All the lights go off, there’s actual smoke on board, we wear like what you’d wear diving, but it’s got the mask and all goes together with a tank on the back. In the beginning we got two weeks to learn how to do it, and now you get timed and you gotta do it in 60 seconds or less. Then you gotta crawl on the floor and down the hatches.

Nelson’s Kate Balderstone, a Navy chef, on a New Zealand Navy ship at Port Nelson last week. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Then we cook lunch, we have two meat choices, so usually chicken and beef, pizzas, all the good stuff. Today we cooked six pizzas and spare ribs. You have a piece each and then they call seconds and you can have

as much as you want.

No one gets dibs, it’s all pretty fair.

Once lunch is done I clean the galley then usually have a sleep for an hour haha, pretty

intense.

We have Oscar, a dummy in overalls, and

we throw him overboard, and ‘man overboard’ gets piped over the system, ‘man overboard will be recovered by a swimmer and that swimmer will be..’. It’s incase it actually happens, and it does happen all of the time. My boss had to jump in and save it today, this was between like here and O’Kiwi Bay, freezing, freezing water.

Then straight back to work at three, cook dinner. If I want to make something I make it, it’s not like real set. If you came to me as a crew member and said, ‘I want butter chicken.’ We’d make butter chicken.

Once I’ve made that I get like an hour free time. We’re sort of allowed boys in our room, but let’s just say we’re not allowed the door closed. There’s a TV too, but it hardly ever works when you’re at sea.

But I usually bake dessert in that time.

You just go nuts doing nothing, so I just like to keep going, I don’t like taking a break. Then as soon as I finish I just go straight to bed at about seven.

There’s only like two other girls, but the girls overrule everything on the boat because they’ve got to take in to consideration our feelings I guess.

Last night we had a toxic gas incident, so I was in bed at nine o’clock and then they have a big alarm that goes off, it’s just a normal thing for us, it’s annoying though.

You know people say join the navy, but I actually mean it now after being at sea. It’s so awesome at sea. I go a week, I get paid, I come back, and I spend all the money I want, then I go back to sea again, it’s the life!

For many years the pieces were stored at the Council depot, then they were shifted to Founders Museum where some clever person eventually threw them out.

This present day replica of the Symons Memorial – detail and size as close as possible to the original – was reconstructed by

the use of computer designs produced from photographs of the original. Filigree work and pattern mouldings were developed in New Zealand while other data and materials were sourced from as far afield as England.

It was presented to the city in 1991 by the three oldest commercial businesses then operat-

ing in Nelson to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the city.

The present version is illuminated by electricity and is situated in Trafalgar St, 50 metres south of the original site. While not totally accurate it is an outstanding feature and a proud testimony to the city’s early pioneer past.

Locals prepare for Abel Tasman classic A chance to run the pristine Abel Tasman was the main motivation for Kim Ngawhika to rug up and train over the cold, dark winter – that and following through on a “silly decision made in the heat of the moment.”

After finishing the women’s triathlon in March one of Kim’s friends suggested running the Abel Tasman coastal classic at the end of September, she says excitement of accomplishment outweighed better judgment.

“It was summer, we were fit and we were stoked to have finished the triathlon so I said yes. Then winter came along

Kim Ngawhika is running the Abel Tasman coastal classic. and I hate training in winter.”

In all seriousness Kim says she is looking forward to this weekend’s classic where she will line up with close to 300 other competitors.

“I may not finish at the front but I’m really looking forward to the challenge and I don’t think I’ll need an ambulance at the end so that will be good,” she jokes.

The classic started in 1994 and three runners – Chris Gates, Owen Rowse and Colin Rolfe – are still competing in the 36km race.

Kim says the last time she visited Abel Tasman was as a student at Nelson College for Girls so she is looking forward to returning with her running shoes on. The classic starts this Saturday from Awaroa and finishes in Marahau.

They are from left; Will Hewitt, Tom Peterson, Sam Hopgood, Sophie Cleal, Courtney Lankshear and Georgie Trengrove.

Grasshoppers prepare for tennis programme Six more Nelson schools are taking up the Grasshoppers tennis programme this spring with students getting their hands on the new equipment this week.

The Grasshoppers Programme is a Tennis NZ initiative introducing tennis to 5-12yr olds in schools throughout NZ. It is a games-based programme that focuses on fundamental skills and provides a seamless integration in to the PE curriculum and directly links with children joining a national programme for tennis clubs. Tennis development officer Lynnie Nevin says students

in the new schools will join 35,000 other children in New Zealand who are currently involved in the programme. Kiwisport Funding was used to help expand the existing Grasshoppers programme to an additional 6 schools in the Nelson Region including St Josephs, Nelson Central, Richmond Primary, Brightwater, Mapua and one more to be confirmed. These schools will all receive $2500 worth of equipment and every school student will then take part in a four week coaching programme with qualified coaches starting in either Term 4 or Term 1.

Women’s football season ends with six-a-side tournament Women’s football wrapped up its season last weekend with a six-a-side tournament that saw Nayland College top off its impressive improvement throughout the season by winning the competition.

Nayland entered three teams in the annual tournament with other Nelson teams coming from club sides Nelson United, Richmond, Wakefield and Nelson Suburbs. Nelson Bays football general manager Clive Beaumont says the tournament, at Richmond’s Ben Cooper Park is a fitting way to round up the women’s competition.

“The women’s league was very competitive this year and it was great to see so many players down here on a wet day playing at a very high level.”

Champions Nayland Maroon beat Suburbs in the final 2-0 and coach Mike Gibney says he was

happy to come away with the win.

“It was a great final against Suburbs, who were both competitive and sporting in the manner in which they played. Several of our players were outstanding including goal keeper Kimberley Parkinson, who was drafted in as she normally doesn’t play there but was outstanding in that position with her commitment and vision with quick throws to get our players going forward.

“Two other players were outstanding our Captain Phoebe Evans who was everywhere and our German International player Laura Vosser who was extremely dangerous on attack and either scored or set up most of our goals.”

Waimea College won the senior women’s league this year with Mapua winning the second division.
