Stair dancing thief targets staff rooms Police are on the hunt for a brazen thief who has been targeting staff rooms and are warning businesses to lock away valuables belonging to staff. Last week a man believed to be in his mid-20’s was found in the office of Paper Plus Motueka by a staff member, before smashing his way out through a glass door to get away. He ran through a dairy, Decks Reserve and then onto High St, which is where he was last seen. A similar type of burglary has happened in Nelson and twice in Richmond in the past few days and police say they may be linked. The type of theft is known as Stair Dancing, where

people walk into shops and enter the staff rooms and offices of commercial buildings, helping themselves to staff bags or anything else lying around. The offender has so far stolen cash, handbags and cash boxes and is linked to 10 offences. Police say he is possibly using a green square shaped older model Holden or Ford Vehicle. “He is a male Caucasian or light skin Mäori or Polynesian aged approximately 25 years. He has a number two haircut with dark hair. He is described as a tall man with an athletic build,” they say. Any information please contact Sergeant Rob Crawford on (03) 528 1220.

A photograph of Nelson man Andy Farmer and his family is most likely still holding front and centre position on the mantel piece of a Nepalese grandmother. But Andy reckons it is he that should be grateful for the experience of building a home for her and her fam-

ily as part of Habitat for Humanity. Andy and friend Paul Shutte went to Nepal two years ago as part of a Nelson group that helped build houses for disadvantged locals. The lady, whose home Andy worked on, couldn’t be more excited by the project he says and proudly put the photo of he and his family on the mantleplace.

This November the duo is heading to Cambodia, where 300 people from all over the world will converge to build 24 homes in a week. Among the hundreds will be about 15 Nelsonains and Andy says there is still room for more and best of all, you need very few skills.

“I don’t watch television so it won’t affect me. I have better things to do.”

“It won’t affect me because I don’t plan to be in Nelson in two years. I only watch Criminal Minds anyway.”

“My boyfriend has Sky and watches all the sport, but if I were on my own I wouldn’t care because I don’t watch too much television anyway.”

Young christians plan return to Nelson A popular young christian conference held at Annesbrook Church last week will be calling Nelson home again next year and hasn’t ruled out a more permanent move in the future, according to Get Smart director Craig Clark. Get Smart is a conference for young christians and hosted more than 600 people from all over the South Island, after relocating to Nelson, after severe damage caused Majestic House in earthquake ravaged-Christchurch to close. It was announced this week that it will now be held in Auckland, Nelson and Dunedin for 2012. “We can’t really say if or ever it

will go back to Christchurch,” says Craig. “It may result it in being in three locations in the South Island.” Craig says the conference was “exceptional” and some participants drove 17 hours on a bus just to get there. “Everyone was raving about it. They just loved Nelson.” Cafe on Oxford was one of a number of local businesses to benefit from Get Smart, making 400 coffees in one afternoon in a special Get Smart deal. “People loved connecting with Nelson outside of the conference. They’re not there to Stan Walker performing at Get get drunk or create disruption. It’s a posiSmart at Annesbrook Church. tive influence.” Photo: Aleisha Greening.

NEWS IN BRIEF • Nelson City Council has ensured Natureland will continue to operate, agreeing to give the zoo a $50,000 grant, on top of its currently funding of $150,000. Orana Wildlife Trust, which operates Nelson’s Natureland Zoo, has accepted the offer after recently advising Council the future of Natureland was in doubt, following the Christchurch earthquakes and subsequent loss of visitors to its Christchurch facilities.

• The fourth and final stage report of the Nelson Arterial Traffic Study is now released. The report says Nelson does not have a significant traffic problem, nor is one forecast to develop over the modelled time period of the study – the next 25 years. But the report recommends Council continue to monitor traffic flows on a regular basis. Copies of the full report can be viewed on the Council website, www.nelsoncitycouncil.co.nz or collect a hard copy from the Council office or the Nelson Public Libraries. A public meeting will be held to discuss the report at 5.30pm on Wednesday 3 August in the Nelson City Council Chamber, Civic House, 110 Trafalgar Street.

Trafalgar Park seats ‘stomping proof ’ It is now less than eight weeks before the Rugby World Cup hits Nelson and each week until then Nelson Weekly hopes to keep you up-to-date with the latest news and information to help you get the most out of it and all the events planned around the cup. If you have any questions you would like answered, please email us and we will find the answer. • Excited rugby fans will not have to worry about stomping their feet too hard on the temporary stand at Trafalgar Park, thanks to some extra reinforcing by engineers. At the recent Super 15 quarter final at Trafalgar Park, fans stomped their feet on the metal stands, making an impressive sound to support the home team but asking questions of the stands safety. Engineers have since created a double-brace sys-

tem to withstand earthquake shaking, high winds and the stomping of spectator’s feet. • An application by council to exceed noise limits for five key events is due by the end of July. The events that are expected to breach the noise limit are the three games, the Fanzone at Trafalgar St and the Carnivale/ Sonic Youth event. • More than 300 Nelsonians have registered to be a volunteer in the city during the Rugby World Cup. Job offers have now gone out and organisers are urging people to respond to the offer. • Ticket sales for the three Nelson games are strong, according to Rugby World Cup 2011. However, there is still seats available at each of the city’s three games. To buy your ticket, visit www.rugbyworldcup.com/tickets or from Everyman Records on Hardy St.

Snow hits outskirts of Nelson A white blanket of snow greeted residents in the country corners of Western Nelson including Motueka and Mapua, while the Whangamoa Saddle also recieved a good dumping, according to our readers. Sleet was felt in suburban areas such as Panorama Dr and Masfield St in Stoke. Fans of the Nelson Weekly Facbook page posted their surprise at seeing snow at 9pm on Sunday night. “We are in Kaiteri and the beach is WHITE!” Francesca Dunstan-Hart wrote. The dump is part of a chilly front, which swept the country over the past few days.

At 19, Nelson man Peter Ramsay left his home town to go to war. On Monday he returned to give the next generation a glimpse to what he witnessed in a book written by himself and his comrades on their experience during the Vietnam War. Peter presented the book to the head master of his former school, Nelson College. Gary O’Shea says his students are keenly aware of the history the school has with war, with hundreds of its former pupils heading off to fight in various battles. “This book will be another tool for our students

and we are very grateful to receive it.” Peter, who now lives in Perth, says the book was cleansing to write and it is a collaboration of soldier’s in Peter’s battalion. “It’s the first time a book like this has been put together by New Zealand veterans of the Vietnam War. Usually it’s done by a biographer or a historian but this is done by us and because of that it is full of emotion.” Peter, who earned a British Empire Medal, for saving lives in an avalanche on Mt Cook while in the Army, says the book is also a fantastic memento for family members of the soldiers.

Hyundai i45 wins best in segment The Hyundai i45, known as the Sonata in the U.S., has been named Best-in-Segment (tied with the Volkswagen Jetta), in the mid-size car category of Strategic Vision’s 2011 Total Quality Index® (TQI). The Total Quality Index measures total vehicle satisfaction among new car owners in the United States. The Index measures the quality of the vehicle as well as the emotional connection it makes with buyers. “This is great international endorsement for the Hyundai i45, and comes just weeks after Hyundai took first place in New Zealand for passenger vehicle sales for the month of June. “The i45 was an important contributor to the local result and the Index rating has highlighted that it ticks both the emotional and rational boxes in terms of customer satisfaction,” said Chief Operating Officer for Hyundai New Zealand, Tom Ruddenklau. Alexander Edwards, President of Strategic Vision, said that customers that took part in the Index

explicitly stated that they love their Hyundai i45; from the performance-styled exterior to the comfortable, thoughtfully designed exterior. The other brands evaluated for the mid-size category included the Honda Accord, Mazda6, Nissan Altima, and Toyota Camry. The strong showing in the TQI extends Hyundai i45’s winning streak in Strategic Vision studies. Hyundai’s i45 also topped this year’s Strategic Vision Total Value Index, tallying the highest Total Value score in the 14-year history of the study. This result surpassed all competitors past and present, including those in the luxury segments. The Total Quality Index® asked US buyers to rate all aspects of the ownership experience - from buying and owning to performance and driving. Results were calculated from 37,069 buyers who bought 2011 models between the months of September to December of 2010. Strategic Vision has presented the Total Quality Index® annually since 1995.

New doctors finding their feet at Nelson Hospital Lydia Anderson Some of Nelson man Adam Harris’ patients say he looks too young to be a doctor, but after six years of study and plenty of hard work, he is more than up to the job. Adam, along with seven other first year doctors, has made the daunting transition from medical student to house surgeon, taking on new-found responsibilities and plenty of long hours. Nelson Hospital is one of the most sought after placements for first year doctors, due to its smaller size and hands on training opportunities. In the last intake, eight graduates out of 180 applicants were lucky enough to gain acceptance at Nelson. Their daily duties range from to attending cardiac arrests and performing surgical procedures to reassuring delirious patients and assisting patients’ bowel movements. Adam and Xiamin Liang are the two locals in the group with Adam attending Nayland College and Xiamin Nelson College for Girls. The pair are getting used to having family friends, old neighbours or teachers admitted to hospital. Xiamin says she likes to have a chat or buy them a coffee, while Adam says it’s nice being able to have those pre-existing relationships with patients, even if some of his long time Nelson mates think “it’s a bit of a joke” that he’s now a doctor. “I’m only 24 and I have Doctor in front of my name. My mates think it’s funny I can prescribe medications so they ask for them as a joke,” he says. Over the past few months, the group of five guys and three girls say they have become a close-knit team and have had to get used to working plenty of hours, including weekends and public holidays, and dealing with some horrific injuries to patients. Xiamin admits that sometimes she feels “like a nana”. “I go home, eat and crash,” she says. Another doctor, James Parsons adds that the workload is made easier by knowing they’re “all in the same boat” and

Photo: Lydia Anderson. he jokes that free lunch and free coffee help to make the long hours more bearable. Although being a doctor is shown as a glamorous on several TV hospital dramas, James says the reality is often closer to an early episode of the comedy Scrubs. “There’s so much stress that sometimes you just have to laugh about it,” he says. The new doctors share plenty of light-hearted banter with each other and patients, but at times they are taken aback by distressing cases and Brian Grainger says in those situ-

ations debriefing with peers is “very cathartic.” Some of the harder things the group has had to witness include: vehicle accidents, amputations, patient deaths and grieving families. But they feel, despite the pressure, they are coping well and are excited about finishing the year in Nelson. “The best thing about Nelson is the relationships you build with hospital staff and your patients. “You just don’t get that as often in a larger centre,” says Adam.

Scooter challenge fun comes to Nelson

At the start of last year’s Survivor Scooter Challenge is from left; Kym (Clemy) Clementson, Jason (Crash) Monopoli, Simon (Mad Max) Hadfield, Shaun (Caveman) Torevell, Erin (Buzzbox) Dunbar and Caroline (Whippet) Ellis.

Three years ago Stoke man Jason Monopoli took part in a race across Australia’s toughest terrain on a 50cc scooter – called the Postie Bike Challenge. Now he has bought a similar idea to our shores and after a test run last year is inviting people to come and be a part of the Toughest Scooter Challenge in the World. The Survivor Scooter event will start in Picton and head across to Nelson and down to Greymouth with as much off-roading as possible. But Jason says the four day event is not a race and is all about

Last chance to nominate your ‘good neighbour’ Now is your last chance to enter your neighbour into this year’s Nelson Weekly Good Neighbour of the Year Award. Organiser, Kim MacDonald says the awards are all about recognising the region’s top neighbours and she encourages people to nominate their neighbour before the deadline at the end of this month. “Neighbours are so important and if you have a great neighbour it can really make a big difference to your wellbeing. So if you have a great neighbour who has gone above the call of duty, we would love to hear your story.” The awards were started last year and saw neighbours in the four community constable areas – Nelson city, Victory, Stoke and Ta-

hunanui – win awards. All four winners were featured in articles in Nelson Weekly. So far entries have been for a number of good deeds including showing new residents the local walks and parks; comfort through tough periods; emergency babysitting, feeding pets, sharing surplus fruit and vegetables; sharing meals and for showing “good old fashioned kiwi hospitality and care. To enter your neighbour send an e-mail to nsupport@xtra.co.nz or post your entry to Neighbourhood Support, PO Box 2101, Stoke, Nelson 7041. Include their name and address and why they are a good neighbour. If you have any photos please attach them to the e-mail.

having a good time. “Because the bikes obviously aren’t made for what we do with them we get a lot of broken down bikes, so we will all travel together, help each other out and make sure we all survive.” The event covers off road tracks around the top-of-the-south on scooters. It is also designed so nonmotorcycle people can come along. “With a scooter you can drive it on a car licence which is really handy.” Last year two women entered the event and they were the only ones that didn’t require a ride in the safety truck.

Jason says the cost of the trip is kept pretty low with the entry fee a donation to child’s charity KPH. The series is being held this Labour weekend in October with the final day finishing the day of the Rugby World Cup final says Jason. “It will be a perfect way to end it, on your scooter all day, then to a Greymouth pub to watch the rugby.” To find out more about the event visit www.survivorscooter.com or email Jason on info@orangedog. co.nz. Entries need to be confirmed by August 12.

Tahuna residents to seek answers Councillors will face questions from residents and business owners of Tahunanui early next month. The public meeting has been called by the Management Committee of the Tahunanui Community Centre to address some key issues from a survey it completed last year. Amongst the key points are traffic volume and heavy vehicles travelling through the suburb, safe crossing along Tahunanui Dr, future development, access and parking around the shopping area and infilling on sections.

Trish Duthie, of the community centre, says she would like to see as many councillors as possible there and plenty of local residents. “These issues were highlighted in our survey by residents so now we are bringing them up on behalf of residents but it would be great to see a strong turn out and show our councillors how important Tahuna is to this region.” The meeting is being held on Thursday, 4 August at the Muritai Centre, Tahunanui School from 6.30pm. All welcome.

A designer for Rugby Challenge, a computer game under development, gets to work on recreating Trafalgar Park. The Tasman Makos and Trafalgar Park feature in the game that will be released in August. The game will be avalible for PlayStation, Xbox 360 and PC.

Nelson to get worldwide PlayStation audience Phillip Rollo People from around the globe will soon be running around Trafalgar Park as a Tasman Mako, thanks to a new computer game. The All Blacks Rugby Challenge, scheduled for release next month, for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC and Sony Vita, will include a full ITM Cup season featuring the Tasman Makos squad and Trafalgar Park and is available throughout New Zealand, Australia and Europe. Some of the features in the game include multiyear franchise mode, online play and extensive customization modes. Other tournaments will include Investec Super Rugby, Ranfurly Shield,

Orange Top 14, Aviva Premiership Rugby, RaboDirect PRO 12, Bledisloe Cup and many more. Rights over likenesses vary from license to license, however, Rugby Challenge will include “hundreds” of accurately and individually modeled player likenesses, according to the game’s developer, Sidhe’s website. Tasman Makos player Robbie Malneek says there’s a number of gamers in the squad and they had all been anticipating the release. “It will be wicked,” says Robbie. “Now that you’ve got ITM Cup in there it just makes it that much more special.” He says the whole team had to “strip down to their undies” last year in order to get photos taken for the game.

Police station gets $200,000 upgrade The public area of the Nelson police station is undergoing a $200,000 upgrade. The Nelson station is 50 years old and the public area was last upgraded about 20 years ago. It is used 24 hours a day, seven days a week and the upgrade will be welcomed by both staff working in the area and visitors to the station. As a result of the building work there will be some disruption to services at the station. Senior sergeant Stu Koefoed says that from Sunday July 24 the public counter will be temporarily situated at the Harley St end of the building.

The public counter will be open from 7am until 11pm daily. For emergencies after 11pm people are asked to call 111. In non-emergency situations the public can telephone Nelson Station, email or contact police via the website www.police.govt.nz. Stu says that while the work was being done friends and family would be unable to visit prisoners being held in the Nelson cells, however provision has been made for lawyers to have access to their clients. It is hoped the work will be completed on or before 16 September 2011.

Work has begun on the Speight’s Ale House, which will be finished by mid-November, say its owners. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Speights Ale House targets Nov finish Progress on the new Speight’s Ale House in Annesbrook is going “tickity-boo” and on track for a mid-November finish, says its site manager. Work on the new bar and restaurant, next to WOW and Mitre 10 Mega, started in mid June and is on schedule says Gibbons construction site manager Richard Mabbott. “We are currently erecting the tilt panel slabs

and putting the floor down. Structural steel is underway ready for the shell to be completed and it’s all going on tickity-boo.” Speight’s Ale House is a national franchise with more than a dozen outlets around the country. The Nelson franchise is owned by Catal Development Ltd, an Auckland-based company. Its sole director was unavailable for comment.

Television business booming, thanks to Freeview Andrew Board Paul Stanger is a television technician, but lately he feels more like a secretary. Fifteen years of owning Nelson TV and Video Services and he can’t remember it being busier. He says he and another technician Ian, have been flat out as phone calls come flooding in. But there is still a lot of confusion around Freeview and when people need to upgrade he says. “Most people are realising that they have to do something, but they aren’t really sure what and by when. I had a guy earlier this week who thought he had to upgrade by the end of next month.” Starting in 2012 the analogue system will be turned off in New Zealand, meaning every television will need either a television with Freeview built in, or buy a digital box. Television’s with Sky TV are fine and will not need to upgrade and with around 50 per cent penatration, means most homes already comply with the levels. Paul says there seems to be a lot of misunderstanding though. “People think they need to throw their TV away and it’s just not true.” The analogue system will be

turned off in Nelson in April 2013, as part of the second wave. People on the West Coast and Hawke’s Bay will have their analogue system turned off in September next year. Other Freeview installers in the region say they are just as busy, installing up to three or four boxes a day. Rowan Dron, an independent installer, says he has fielded numerous calls from people who have bought cheap boxes that either don’t work properly or need someone to install them. “There is a lot of junk out there, my advice to people would be to get some advice. Often you can get a much better quality system for the same price.” He says last week alone he took 45 phone calls from people wanting information about Freeview installation. “We are definitely seeing a lot of misinformation out there, people don’t really know what it’s about or when they need to have it in by. The biggest one is people worried their TV will get turned off and they won’t be able to watch their favourite programme anymore.” More information about Freeview is on the government Nelson TV and Video Services director Paul Stanger says demand for Freeview has been extraordinary, despite confusion around when people need it by.

South Island’s oldest home open for tea

DON’T GET LOST: Nelson City Council deputy mayor Ali Boswijk with one of the new Wayfinding signs that are going up around the city as part of the Heart of Nelson Strategy. The signs cost $160,000 and 28 of them will be put up over the coming weeks in various locations to help pedestrians and cyclists find their way around the city. Photo: Andrew Board.

The oldest substantial house in the South Island is opening its doors, and kitchen, for locals to enjoy a delicious afternoon in one of Nelson’s most historic buildings. Warwick House was built in 1854 for merchant Alfred Fell and is now owned by Nelson residents Nick and Jenny Ferrier, and they are inviting locals to join them for high teas, held each month. The next high tea is this Sunday. The Ferriers bake everything fresh and it served on delicate china with the echoeing sound of live music. The menu includes scones with clotted cream and jam, quiches, pastries, biscuits and a variety

of leaf teams. The high teas have been on the Ferrier’s Sunday to-do list for the past two years and the couple even held a 80-strong tea party for Heritage Week. “High teas have got popular and it’s a nice thing to do on a Sunday afternoon. By the time we get the tables up here, it’s buzzing,” says Nick. “It’s nice to have the room used how it used to be. It’s a chance for Nelson people to enjoy the house.” To book your place in Nelson’s history, you can contact Nick and Jenny at 548 3164.

Door sales are from 6pm, there will be no entry once the plays start.

Brass show a breath of fresh air Brass players of the NZSO are promising to blow apart everything you thought you knew about brass music, in Nelson this Saturday night. Brass Splendour strips away the full orchestra to bring an NZSO brass ensemble centre-stage. It features four horns, four trumpets, four trombones, a tuba and a percussion section. While brass is often seen as the muscle of the orchestra, NZSO Associate Principal Trumpet Cheryl Hollinger says the tour will prove that the section is in fact capable of an incredible musical range. “The programme really showcases all that brass instruments can do. It doesn’t matter if you’re a jazz, rock, brass band or symphony lover – there’ll be something in this programme for everyone. “There’s some huge sonorous brass playing, but you’re also going to get the more lyrical, soft, gentle playing that a lot of people don’t think of when it comes to brass.” As well as the large-scale excitement of Gabrieli and the medieval pageantry of Elgar, the brass ensemble will also perform a funeral march by Grieg and Handel’s cork-popping Music for the Royal Fireworks. NZSO Associate Principal Trombone Peter

Maunder has arranged the Handel and Festmusik der Stadt Wien by Richard Strauss especially for Brass Splendour. “The Strauss is my kind of music, and I’ve wanted to arrange it for

Tasman Medical Centre Practice Nurse Rachel Thomas with Dr’s David Orsbourne, Pip Reeve, Katy Roff and Peter Thomas are delighted with the new facilities in Lower Queen Street. Staff at Tasman Medical Centre, formerly Cambridge St Clinic have settled in well to their new spacious premises at the recently opened Lower Queen St Health centre. Located on the ground floor, providing easy access Proudly supplying Information and plenty of parking for patients, Tasman Medical Technology to Centre offers a number of improved facilities that Tasman Medical Centre lack of space prohibited in their former premises. Now with space to spare, patients will have the benefit of a Mothers room, Nurse Triage and procedure rooms plus modern new equipment such as electric beds, surgical lighting and a dedicated surgical area. In addition they will be in what is effectively a ‘one stop shop’ for medical services, with other complimentary services available all under one roof. All staff from the former Cambridge St Clinic moved to the new centre when it opened on July 18, including Dr’s Pip Reeve, Peter Thomas and David Orsbourn. They have been joined in their new practice by Doctor Katy Roff. Doctor Peter Thomas says the new premises offer a lot and there is certainly room to grow. “The old premises had a lot of character and had been a medical centre for over 60 years but we didn’t have room to expand. We were getting more and more enrolments particularly since the earthquake and we didn’t want to close our books but physically it was getting more difficult to accommodate everyone. “A lot of our rooms in our old premises fulfilled multiple functions, what was a nursing room and procedure room was also a store room so it was Information Technology that works for you

With a lot of folk driving to Mapua, Tasman and Upper Moutere daily they may think we are more convenient as they will be able to call in and see a GP on their way to or from work.” Dr Thomas says they will be looking at tenanting some of their three spare rooms and have already had expressions of interest from midwives and counsellors which would provide complimentary services to the centre. “I think with the extra space we are going to be able to function a lot better and it will make our job a lot easier. In our old premises we had so many notes we had them stored in the ceiling, but in this lovely new building we have better systems and a place for everything. “I want to see this place grow and I think it will, certainly our staff are happier. We are looking forward to meeting our existing patients and welcoming new patients at the new premises.”

Bridget Budget answers your questions Q: Our children do chores around

home for nothing,but my friend told me we should give them pocket money so that they get used to handling money. What do you think? A: I think Internet banking and EftPos have made the idea of money unreal for children. Children need real cash situations to learn. I think you can expect your children to do some jobs around home for nothing. But a chance to earn cash for extra jobs will help a child learn about earning, spending and saving money.  Give your child pocket money in cash  Encourage them to divide their pocket money into three parts:  Spend or donate one third  Save one third for a short-term goal that is attainable in a few weeks  Put one third in the bank for a long term goal

 Also involve your child with money activities in your daily life:

 Shopping  Getting money from a money machine  Showing them bills and how you pay them  Talk about saving money and earning interest

The main task is to help our children understand the value of money.

Shauné Lisa Hattrick is a professional astrologer and artist living in Cable Bay. Shaune has had a practice for the past 28 years and specialises in interpretation of the birth chart and present planetary influences. “Astrology is a wonderful tool for giving insight and self knowledge. It is like a map which can help you along the road to self discovery and self realization. It can be incredibly affirming and supportive when going through long arduous planetary influences, says Shauné. An excellent and most fortuitous time to have the birth chart interpreted is at the Saturn return which is age 28-30 and also 58-60. People at this time are often ready for a major shift in their life. It is a time of sorting our priorities as we move into another stage of maturity, we can feel a sense of urgency, a time to take stock of ourselves-to drop away past conditioning, social pressures and become more in integrity with our self. It is a time of pruning what and who is no longer relevant to you. Questions like, who am I and who am I now and what must I do and how, astrology can support that situation. It can clarify your uniqueness, creative capacities and growth potential and can help you understand yourself and yours relationships.”

“We plan to get you guys fit and play a well organised brand of football.” The league revival in the region will be greatly helped thanks to the Titans says Paul with local players having real pathways to the NRL, thanks to a link with its namesake, the Gold Coast Titans. “Young talent will have that opportunity if they are good enough and dedicated enough. But right now we are about building this sport in the region and giving league fans an opportunity to see the game in their home town.” The Titans first assignment is to host the West Coast in late August, as part of the South Island competition. It will then go on to play Canterbury, Otago, Southland and Canterbury 20s. Paul says the support is here for rugby league and he says the Titans will be hoping to attract big crowds for its home matches. “If we can get big crowds it will spur the boys on and hopefully we can get results.”

Three second half goals crush competitive United

FC Nelson United ran out of puff as they conceded three second half goals against Richmond Athletic at Guppy Park on Saturday. Chasing third place, United were hoping to be the first team to take points against league leaders Richmond, and they had their fair share of chances with Sean Parkes missing two key opportunities, one hitting the cross bar. United coach Max Ancell says the side went in to the match hoping to overcome the Nelson Pine Industries first division leaders, and judging the first half performance an upset was on the cards, with United’s defence holding strong. Derek Milne, Raffie Darroch, Sam Miller and Johnny Gough all stood out in the opening spells. But four yellow cards in the space of 30 minutes punished the home side. “We came off after the first half and said the discipline was something we wanted to work on,” says Max. “There’s no point coming off with nine or ten players, you’re just going to hurt your team.” But a header five minutes in to the second half to Richmond’s stand-in skipper Wesley Olea gave the away side the lead as the momentum fell firmly in favour of Richmond. Former Southend United defender Che Wilson hit the crossbar, while Davi Gonzalez Maciel impressed on the left after coming on for the injured Matthew Elliott. Sean’s one on one chance with Richmond keeper Daniel Cooper came soon after, hitting the cross bar. It wasn’t long before Sam Mason-Smith punished his missed opportunity, slotting in two well taken goals to seal the win for Richmond. Max says the early yellow cards mean’t the defensive line couldn’t take any risks in the second spell, but credited all three of Richmond’s “classy” goals. “I think at the start of the season if you asked Suburbs, College and Metro they’d all have said third place is what they’re are aiming for. But we would have liked to have taken some points off them today. If we kept that up first half effort. But conceding that goal, they just had all the momentum.”

IN BRIEF RUGBY: The Tasman Makos slumped to its third straight loss in eight days as Counties Manakau took control in Blenhiem on Sunday, winning 32-23. Joe Wheeler and Mitchell Scott got their names on the scoresheet, while captain Andrew Goodman added two conversions and three penalties. FOOTBALL: Former Nelson Suburbs striker Alex Ridsdale is currently trialing with Jamie Doris’ Scottish Premier League side Hibernian FC. RUGBY: Nelson College first XV prop Tyler Kearns has been named as vice captain for the South Island Secondary Schools team while Mitchell Drummond, Steven Soper and former Nelson College first five Fletcher Smith also got the nod for the clashes against Blues, Chiefs and Hurricanes regional school teams later this week. BASKETBALL: Nayland College and Nelson College have both qualified for the New Zealand Secondary School Basketball Championship after both teams finished in the top three in the South Island. Nayland College, who won the South Island tournament last year and went on to finish second in New Zealand, were defeated 88-85 by Christchurch Boy’s High School in the final at the Edgar Centre in Dunedin. Waimea College failed to qualify for nationals for the second year in a row after finishing eighth place.

Nelson runners back from US and aiming for NCAA success Phillip Rollo

They spent most of their teenage years racing alongside each other, but now that Harry Dixon and Matt Russ live on opposite sides of the United States of America, they’re targeting another reunion on the track. Harry, a former Nayland College student and New Zealand secondary school 3000m gold medalist, and Matt, of Waimea College, are both currently one year in to their full track scholarships at Eastern Michigan University and University of North Texas respectively. The two runners are back in Nelson for the three month offseason, but with one year under their belts, they are hoping to return faster and stronger this year with the end goal of reaching the NCAA division one national championship. “We started racing each other when we were about ten years old, so to race at a national competition would be sweet,” says Matt. Racing at the NCAA championship would be the only chance they have of racing each other in the United States - living almost world’s apart within the same country. In the height of summer, Matt receives an early wake up call at 5am as he stumbles out of bed ready to the hit the track before the sun comes up, making it too hot to train. Harry on the other hand doesn’t have such problems. In fact he has the op-

posite - running on ice and snow. “I prefer the cold,” he says. “You can always put more clothes on, but the novelty of snow does wear off pretty quickly.” Harry’s biggest mileage tally was a mammoth 160km over seven days. Both athletes credited their scholarship opportunities to Athletics Nelson head-coach Greg Lautenslager, who recommended them to a number of contacts. Matt says the opportunities they have received in the US college system is something you would never get based in New Zealand. “You can’t really beat having your education paid for, and then the opportunity to run at a high level, compete at a very high level. It’s such a good opportunity, not only to race but to get it all paid for.” With study, workbooks, accom- KEEPING FIT: US-based Nelson runners Matt Russ and modation, food and even Harry Dixon are back home during the US off-season. travel costs all paid for, the Photo: Phillip Rollo. There’s a college football team in Texas boys are loving it. “There’s just millions of dollars in sport over here. that sells twice the amount of merchandise

that the All Blacks do. It’s ridiculous.” Matt, who was a 3000m and 5000m runner in Nelson, is now being targeted as a 1500m runner. His personal bests include 14 minutes 50 seconds for the 5000m and 3 minutes 55 seconds for the 1500m. He finished third place in the 5000m at the Texas Relays, a competition that is watched in front of 20,000 spectators. But with a record 26 athletes breaking the four minute mile in the last indoor season, Matt knows that is the event he needs to mark his mark in. “If you’re not breaking the four minute mile then you’re no where near the top. It’s the signature event, everyone judges you on your mile.” Harry missed the entire track season due to injury but had personal bests of 8 minutes 32 seconds for 3000m and 14 minutes 47 seconds for 5000m before departing New Zealand. He was running third on the cross country team at the beginning of the cross country season, before getting injured, and was a member of the Mid-American Conference winning team. “You’ve never run as much as you do over there. Now that I know where that level is, I can train up to that standard.” While Harry is confident of qualifying for national cross country championship, both athletes are hoping to reach the national track championship before they graduate. “It’d be so cool. Nationals is the big time. All the super top teams are there.”

MAKERS RENOVATION $250,000 agreed with Shane saying the four monthAWARD construction was marked with - $500,000 lder excellent work and good coordination of the local sub-contractors. Gibbons had since been asked to carry on with additional works to get the older Rebel building re-imaged for the Briscoes move. “This was done as a separate item to the original contract. We were keen to use local contractors engaged to do the works and Gibbons proved to be a brilliant company to work with. We were also impressed with the wonderful positive attitude amongst all contractors keen to push the job through in a tight time frame,” says Martyn. Kemp Contstruction started the work on the site back in October last year with the demolition of the old pet store and clearing the site for surveying and final planning. The new build got under way in March after selecting local contractors. Rod Duke, Group Managing Director of the Briscoes Group, says the build was “quality” and was thrilled to see the finished product. “Under the circumstances and the bad weather towards the end we are very happy with the outcome.” Rebel Sport and Briscoes are combining their grand opening from 9am tomorrow, keep an eye out for a mailer in your letterbox for some great bargins.

TUESDAY 26 July 2011

Stoke Women overcome Marist, secure home final With one eye on this weekend, the Stoke Women’s rugby team made hard work of its semi final, eventually seeing past Marist 26-15 at Ngawhatu on Saturday. The victory ensures Stoke of a home final against rivals and last year’s champions Waimea Old Boys this Saturday. The supporters were out in force and cheered on the side who uncharactesticly missed a number of tackles in the first half, as a determined Marist side looked hungry for an upset. A real battle developed between the forwards at the breakdown and scrum time, and Stoke relished the challenge of taking on a much larger pack. It was blow for blow for most of the half, with Stoke electing to bank some points early on, via two Jenna Eathorne penalty goals, after Marist had opened the scoring. Stoke headed in to the break with a slender 11-10 lead and their finals hopes on the line. Whatever was said at halftime sure-

ly fired up the girls. In the second half Stoke got back to basics, controlled the ball well and spent the majority of time hot on attack inside the 22. First five-eight Sallyanne Archibald caught the defence napping and crashed over after taking a quick tap following one of many scrum infringements. With the scrum dominating Marist’s, Stoke gained control of the game and possession. Dependable fullback Lucy Higgins put the game beyond doubt with a try a short time later to cap off a fine MVP performance. Versatile forward Abbie Cederman grafted hard all day to also share MVP points. Flanker Karly Larking was again instrumental in a committed Stoke forward effort. The team is looking forward to the final next weekend against Waimea at Ngawhatu and would appreciate your support. The match kicks off at 1:15pm. The Stoke Clubrooms will also be able at 3pm for spectators and players.

Reds go close against league leaders It was an agnosing finish as Tahunanui Super Liquor Stoke Reds fell to league leaders Waimea Old Boys 18-14 at Jubilee Park on Saturday. An early lead to Stoke Reds kept the away supporters attention firmly fastened to a very close contest with each side trading points throughout the match. There was nothing in it, as Stoke put in their most impressive performance against the side they had failed to beat in its other meetings this year. Three well taken penalties by Stoke fullback Paddy Whakatihi and an excellent try to halfback Jason Beo saw Stoke take advantage on the scoresheet 14-13 with only min-

utes left in the encounter. Unfortunately some unforced errors and a lack of discipline in the dying stages saw Waimea take advantage of the situation an with an unconverted try and saw them take the game by the slightest of margains. Players of the day were George Wakatihi with a fine effort at prop and Jason at halfback who worked tirelessly behind a very competitive Stoke scrum setting a platform for the backline ably marshalled by skipper Wade Sinclair. Stoke Reds now move on to next week’s game against Mot United at Green Meadows as they look to gain a win to stay in contention for league honours.
