Teens work for smokes Josie Krishnasamy The rising cost of cigarettes won’t deter a group of Nelson students despite many of them working part time jobs to pay for their habit. Nelson Weekly spoke with a group of teenage smokers who are either at high school or recently finished. All were girls and all started when they were still too young to buy tobacco. Most still are too young. They say they “don’t know” why they smoke but buy their tobacco at Nelson retailers who notoriously don’t ask for ID and if they don’t have enough money to buy a whole packet, will go halves with their friends, because they simply can’t go without their daily intake of nicotine. Some even go to the effort of brushing their teeth to cover any lingering smell on their breath before visiting boyfriends who don’t know about their habit.
One Nelson College for Girls student tampered with her ID to make her age appear over 18 and others get parents, friends or older siblings to buy it or simply visit shops that don’t ask for ID. An announcement by the government in last week’s budget that the price of cigarettes is set to rise by ten per cent every year for the next four didn’t even deter them. “I’ll keep smoking, I can’t stop,” says high school student Hannah Flemming, 17. The girls paid for their tobacco by working part time jobs outside of school time with a couple working full time. Most said their parents were against their smoking “but couldn’t do anything”. Others admitted smoking at interval and lunchtime while at school and even smoking in their car so they wouldn’t get caught by

Sirens try to smash derby foes There were thrills and spills as some of the South Island’s feistiest women took to the track in front of a full house for the first ever triple header hosted in Nelson. Though the Sirens fought a good
battle, it was the Dunedin Derby Gallow Lasses that took out the trophy in frong of 2000 people. “It was a little bit disappointing that we didn’t win for our home crowd, but we’re still new,” says Siren Tara
Forde. The three teams that took part would like to see the event become an annual competition. “We’re just really thrilled that it all went so well and the support we got,” says Tara.

“The funniest person I know is my friend Kat. She is a feelgood person, whenever I see her she puts a smile on my face.”

Teen smokers FROM PAGE 1 teachers. They say quitting is tough because family members and most of their friends also smoke. But they admit it is “disgusting”. The Cancer Society hopes the price hikes will make it harder for young people like these girls to buy tobacco. “Typically tobacco companies target young people, as their regular customers die off at a rate of 5000 a year. This vulnerable group is less likely to have disposable income so higher prices will make them less likely to start and more likely to quit smoking,” says the tobacco control advisor
for the Cancer Society, Skye Kimura. Research by HSC – an anti-smoking organisation – shows the Nelson smokers are part of a shrinking group of young people taking up the habit, and its chief executive Iain Potter hopes last week’s announcement will help speed up the decline. Hannah, who has been a smoker for three years, agrees that making it illegal will be a good thing but it will be unlikely to stop her. “I think it’s a great idea that we will be smoke free, because smoking is disgusting. But if I was still smoking then I would probably buy them on the black market.”

in the middle section of the cliff, while the final section of mesh and concrete spray is completed, and we ask motorists and cyclists to continue to take care. “We also need to repair the road surface before we can reopen the cycle lane, and these will be carried out at night. That way we don’t disrupt motorists during the day when it’s much busier.” Mark says the next phase of work on the Rocks Rd cliff is currently being investigated and it is likely to involve soil nailing and rockfall netting. This work is expected to be completed later this year, and it will not restrict the road width during the day, meaning the effects on motorists will be minimal. Nelson mayor Aldo Miccio says it’s great to have full use of the road again.

Rocks Rd has been reopened to its full width for the first time in almost six months, after falling rocks and slips forced it to close. The job to repair the most visible disruption remaining from last December’s freak rainfall was mostly finished this week, allowing traffic and cyclists to once again use the road properly. Since late December traffic has had to squeeze between road cones and shipping containers holding rubble from the road. Cyclists were either forced from the road or braved a very narrow space to travel on. NZTA operations manager Mark Owen says the current phase of work has been completed on time and within budget, meaning an end to disruption to road users. “However, there will still be a construction site

No pokie money for football bid Nelson will officially launch its bid to play national league football this week, and will attempt to buck the trend of relying on money from pokie machines to get there. The Top of the South bid was first reported in the Nelson Weekly and if successful will give the region its third professional sports team, after the Tasman Makos and Nelson Giants. Consortium leader Aldo Miccio says the group is attempting raise enough money – around $200,000 – without having to apply to gaming trusts, which collect their money
from pokie machines. “We want to show that it is possible to do it without pokie money.” The group says it also does not want to use any of the current funding streams for local football clubs and organisations. The consortium is made of up local football administrators, business people, lawyers and accountants and Aldo says the bid will officially be sent either Wednesday or Thursday this week. “We already have around $100,000 pledged in either cash, or in like, and we have had some really positive meetings with local

When Josh Dean moved to Nelson earlier this month he wasn’t looking for a job, but he’s quite happy to help locals find one. Josh, along with two of his friends, started the website Jobit in March. It launched in Invercargill when its mayor Tim Shadbolt completed the first job through the site, mowing lawns for $1. It has since taken off with already hundreds of people finding work through it. The website works like a reverse auction. People post work they want done and users then tender for the job.

companies. Now we need to move to the next level and start involving the community in some of the fundraising.” Aldo says he would like to hear of any ideas from people about how they can fundraise and help get a Nelson team in the ASB Premiership. All flights and accommodation are covered by the competition’s major sponsors and players do not get paid so the further $100,000 is for operational costs. To get in touch about fundraising ideas, email Aldo at aldo.miccio@ncc.govt.nz.

“It’s sort of like the reverse to TradeMe. You post a job like having your gardening done or plumbing fixed and people then bid to get the work. You don’t have to take the lowest bid because that person may not have the skills you’re looking for. But it’s a great way for people to find work and a great way for people to get jobs done,” says Josh. He hopes Jobit will become the next TradeMe, so it remains totally free. The site works nationwide and Josh says he is hoping it will enjoy similar popularity in Nelson as it has in Southland. $

New boat and new sponsor for Coastguard The Nelson Coastguard Unit is getting set to officially unveil its new operational vessel after a week of great news. The 8.5 metre vessel – which will be used to rescue local boaties – was gifted to the unit by Coastguard Whakatane and will be unveiled early next month. It will replace the ageing Brede class lifeboat and comes as First National
Real Estate cements a sponsorship deal with the group to help fund the unit’s operation and administrative costs. President of Coastguard Nelson, Ian Shaw, says the ongoing support of the local community is crucial. “The contributions from First National Real Estate will be instrumental in the unit continuing to save lives at sea.”
Book Fair bigger and better Karen Clark isn't sure how many books they have had donated for this years Founders Book Fair but she reckons there is at least two for every Nelsonian. "Surely we'd be getting close to 200,000," she says. The annual book fair opens on Queens Birthday weekend and lasts for the entire week. This year, unable to squeeze into the Energy Centre, the fair has expanded to also take up the Granary, where it will house children's books, DVDs, CDs and even a decent number of vinyl records. Money raised from the fair goes back into projects at the park with last year's total of more than $100,000 being used for upgrades at the Granary, including a new kitchen. Karen says the 12 volunteers that organise the fair have been busy sorting through a huge number of books which have

I enjoy overhearing some of the stories of superb goals being scored and the perfect tackle with mud smeared over the uniforms being the trophy! Feeling the warm ambience as you walk through the doors of Columbus Café, in the heart of Fashion Island, you will be greeted by Trudi and Ian Brassfield.

Nelson man is NZ’s funniest Guy Phillip Rollo
Nelson comedian Guy Williams has scooped the industry’s most acclaimed accolade – the Billy T Award. Guy, best known for his role on TV3’s The Jono Project, shot to fame when he controversially fooled his way into a fake pro-whaling interview with Paul Henry on TVNZ’s Breakfast. Guy was handed the prestigious yellow towel during the final show of the New Zealand International Comedy Festival, Last Laughs.
“It’s a very cost effective way But the Billy T has been really to save money on trophies.

The award is to not

Rhys Darby has been a past nominee but never won the award. “It was something I always dreamed about doing and winning. The fact I did it in my first try is almost a relief.” Guy is currently working on a new formatted version of The Jono Project. He hopes to bring his comedy show to Nelson later in the year.
Local group donates to hospital The Manchester Unity Friendly Society has made a “generous” donation to help Nelson District Nurses care for patients in the community. A hand-held pulse oximeter, worth around $1000, will help nurses monitor the treatment of oxygen therapy patients.
The donation is part of Manchester Unity’s community outreach program. “Quite a few of our members have used district nursing, so if it’s not some members it’s either family of friends who will benefit from it,” says Julie Tomlinson of Manchester Unity.
The device is used to find out patients’ levels of oxygen saturation and help determine the effectiveness of the treatment they are undergoing. “It’s a very generous donation; it’s wonderful,” says Mary Daubney of the District Nursing Service.

Historic cottage gets new lease of life Andrew Board
When Tokowha Tu Huia moved into his new home he says the birds would fly through his lounge, the rats didn’t like having to share their home with a new stranger and if there was a strong wind he would rush to open a window so the wind could blow through the historic Teal Valley cottage and not knock it over. Naturally, it didn’t take long before he thought about pulling it down and starting from scratch. But then it spoke to him. After 167 years, Westley Cottage wasn’t ready to say goodbye. “It told me it didn’t want to die. It wasn’t ready to go, so I said I would give it 100 more years of life and started to think about renovating it.” The first two contractors told him to forget it, it was too far gone. The next said it would cost a small fortune but finally Tokowha found a contractor who would restore the house as close as possible to its original state. Tokowha says rebuilding it has been important because of its claimed history. The Teal Valley Cottage is apparently the oldest cottage still lived in in the South Island. It has a history of artisans, hippies and pioneers. It was owned for four generations by the Westley family until the 1960s when
Christopher Vine and his family bought it and the 8 hectares that came with it. Christopher, an architect from London, built a new home for his family. The cottage was used for storage. But when his marriage ended Christopher moved into the cottage and began adding “wings” to it, including a morning room and an afternoon room. For a brief period a group of hippies lived on Christopher’s land. Tokowha says when he first bought the place 18 months ago it was about finding somewhere to escape for several months of the year. He found that but also found challenges he wasn’t expecting, including rotting walls and roof. The renovation took seven months and last winter was spent without a fire, making for some rather chilly mornings. The rebuild is not to historic standard and Tokowha makes no apology for that. He says the building wouldn’t still be standing if those restrictions were imposed. “We couldn’t, most of the wood was rotten, the walls weren’t there. We couldn’t keep it exactly the way it was but we’ve done our best to get it as close as possible and added

a few modern features.” Those modern features include a new kitchen, fire, bathroom, under floor heating and front porch. The result is a beautiful home says Tokowha. “I’ve done what I said I would and given this home another 100 years of life. It’s a
beautiful cottage.” He says he is now putting the cottage on the market as he travels most the year, lecturing to European and American universities about Maori culture and the relationship between indigenous people and western society.

Scammers call wrong number Phone scammers can target anyone at any time – just ask the Richmond Community Police who had one call them by mistake this month. Community constable Glen Lloyd Jones had just got off the phone to a lady reporting a phone scam when his phone rang again. This time it was an overseas call requesting to speak to the “main user” of his computer. “I kept telling them ‘you do realize you’ve called the police don’t you?’ But he just wanted to talk to my main repairer,” he says. Glen eventually hung up on the phone scammer but says the experience shows they can target anyone at random. The phone scammers are believed to be wanting credit card details from the victims, but Glen says there is absolutely no reason whatsoever that anyone would call you directly demanding this. “They’re really pushy and they make people think they have to give their card over. It’s just the way they’re talking to you.” It is believed that the various phone scammers have strong Spanish or Indian accents. Phone scammers are not a new thing and in the past have used techniques pretending the receiver had won a competition. “We get it a lot. More people are coming forward and reporting it but I think that’s just because word is getting around.” Because the phone scammers are based overseas, it is “near impossible” to investigate as there is different jurisdiction in a foreign country. It is up to police to make people aware of such scams and Glen says the most important thing to remember is never give out your card details. If you do get a phone call from a phone scammer, just hang up. “Rule number one is you should never give your card details out.”

New opening for art gallery
Lee Dixon, gallery director of Art on Alma, is among five artists displaying their original artworks on the corner of Bridge and Alma St. Photo: Rosie Thomsen.
A new art experience, Art on Alma, is now open in central Nelson. The exhibit, which opened two weeks ago, was instigated as a way for local artists to get a leg up in the art scene and display and sell their works on an ongoing basis. The gallery is everchanging as the pieces are sold, with works including paintings, drawings, stone sculptures and pottery in various artistic styles. Local artists are welcome to enquire about displaying their works at the gallery.

Keep your child happy and safe with swimming lessons at Riverside. The enjoyable classes are run by a team of qualified and friendly instructors who make swimming a fun experience while teaching children how to swim and stay safe. The drowning rate in New Zealand is high, especially for toddlers, and with Nelson being on the coast it’s important that children are taught and encouraged to swim all year round. Contrary to popular belief, swimming during the Keta Everett winter raises children’s immunity and makes them stronger, while keeping them fit and healthy. It’s also important to continue to develop the skill throughout the year and as they grow older. Keta Everett has been running the SwimMagic swim school at Riverside for over a year, and in that time the programme has grown and students have continued to improve dramatically through the dedication of the high calibre of instructors. All age groups are welcome from six months to adults, and the small group size ensures a rapid improvement in swimming skills. Enrolments are being taken for the holiday intensive programme, or enquire about swimming programmes for term three.

Head Flashing: One piece combined cavity closure and head flashing. Flashman reduces the builder’s cost of ordering, measuring, supplying, fitting, plastering and painting that are necessary with any flashing system; making Flashman either highly cost competitive or cheaper than common but inferior sealant reliant system. With plastering systems the so called PVC “flashings” (actually mouldings to allow screed lines for the even application of the plaster) are buried below the plaster making it impossible for any water that penetrates the paint system to escape. The designers of the Flashman system say this is against every known principle of flashing practice. Flashings are created at a junction where water will inevitably penetrate. Flashings purposefully allow water penetration but are designed to allow that water to escape. Monolithic (seamless look) plaster systems do not achieve this basic function of allowing water to escape, yet these paint and sealant reliant methods still exist and appear in the NZ Building Code.

LETTERS
TO THE EDITOR
I found comments made by local healthcare provider Dr Phil Townsend about the Maori Party bill that proposes to hand control of gaming machines to local councils, a bit ironic and a tad hypocritical. The irony in Dr Townsend’s call for a more democratic process is to enable a change in law that would deny people rights and opportunities. Like most abolitionists Dr Townsend clearly believes that he knows what is good for all and democracy doesn’t extend to those who disagree. The whiff of hypocrisy is that Dr Townsend and his cohort derive almost all of their income from the proceeds of gambling. This is the same ‘dirty money’ he criticises and demonises charities and community groups for utilising. If the highly dubious claim that 40 per cent of the money generated from the gaming industry is ‘dirty money’ perhaps he needs to consider that’s about what the Government takes in tax, duties and levies, including Dr Townsends bit, before it even gets to the community. I have a great deal of respect for Dr Townsend’s commitment to the treatment of problem gamblers but he should stay out of politics. Attempting to impose morality by way of legislation is no more acceptable than doing it by colonialism or imperialism. Take care your behaviour might be next. Martin Cheer, Chief Executive, Pub Charity.
Nelson is at a crossroad, in terms of turning away from the constant negative comments from the habitual complainers and whingers. We, as a community, have proved we have so much going for this city. We need to galvanise belief in ourselves and get behind our successes and drive this region forward. There are so many groups and organisations doing so well for this region. It’s about attracting investment, families and jobs. At the council we are playing our part. Over the last 18 months we have successfully hosted rugby world cup matches, maintained levels of core services, progressed heart of Nelson upgrades, delivered the lowest rate rise in 20 years, completed Dun Mountainbike Park, opened Saxton Cricket Pavilion, helped fund the Theatre Royal upgrade, coped admirably with a 1 in a 100 year storm event, and put on some great festivals. We have planned in our 2015 vision for so much more. Maitai and Rocks Rd walkways, Rutherford Park development including Trafalgar Park east stand, host under 20 FIFA football world cup, Saxton Velodrome a viable downtowns arts and theatre precinct, Brook Sanctuary fence and of course all important focus on core services, all achieved with under a five per cent rate rise and half the debt of most other councils. Sure it hasn’t all been smooth sailing but we sure as heck are fixing those issues so let’s all get on with business by ignoring these constant negative naysayers who are trying to hold this region back.
There has been recent coverage about advice given by the former CEO Mr [Keith] Marshall to the council in respect to the Maori ward process. My own reported comments on this matter may have been misinterpreted to imply that I felt that the CEO provided the council with poor advice. This was not the case and I am sorry if that message was conveyed. It is worth noting that the subsequent independent legal opinion supported Mr Marshall’s advice to the council. Even so, I clearly do not agree with the decision and approach taken by the council over this matter, but it would be wrong to point any finger at Mr Marshall.

Shame on Nelson soccer and the others for even taking pokie money let alone fighting to keep it. Where are your morals? And what kind of message does this give kids? To support your hobby and keep you fit and active you're exploiting gambling addicts. Fundraising is about working for the money and maybe finding appropriate business sponsors, not holding out your greedy hands and exploiting. These people are supposed to be leaders and setting an example to our kids. Instead they choose to show them it is okay to turn a blind eye and just look after one's own interests.

Women lead the way, beating Marist Stoke’s division one team faded away in the last 20 minutes to hand Central a one point win in the Tasman Trophy at Greenmeadows on Saturday. Although disappointed with the 23-22 result, the Stoke team showed real doggedness after playing a midweek game against Waimea and then backing it up against a team that had the benefit of fresh legs have had the bye the week prior. Stoke created enough scoring opportunities to win the game with ease, but again fundamental errors proved the undoing. Stoke opened the scoring with a well struck penalty to Chad Lowrie, who again put on a fantastic goal kicking display. Stoke was pleased to welcome back Shawn Begg and Leon Guerin from the USA. Shawn provided some assertive direction to the team, and as a result, created the opportunity for Patrick Tafifli-Reid to ghost in for the first try, taking Stoke out to a 10 point lead. Central hit back with a try after a well-constructed counterattack and also added a penalty before Chad struck twice again to take Stoke out to a 16-8 halftime lead. With ten minutes to play Stoke had a handy 22-11 lead, but Central applied the pressure through its forwards and capitalised on infringements to score two late tries and ultimately take the game. The evergreen Sonny Alesana, a former Nelson Bays front rower, showed all his experience holding up one corner of the scrum approaching the game with youthful enthusiasm. Stoke is looking forward to its next match up with Nelson this weekend.
The Stoke faithful were treated to a superb display of running rugby by their womens’ team at Greenmeadows on Saturday, where they won 55-5 over Marist. The backs were in sublime form, controlled expertly by first five-eighths Jenna Eathorne who put her outsides into space at every opportunity. This gave youngsters Courtney Robinson and Alysha Borlase room to move, and it was Alysha who ran in unopposed in the 32nd minute after selling a crowd-thrilling dummy an All Blacks winger would be proud of. Robinson was showing her defensive prowess also, and made several crucial tackles when Marist looked threatening. The Stoke forwards worked hard up front where the experienced hands led the way, providing the foundation for the backs to cut loose from long range. Dynamic co-captain Angela Cotton earned player of the match honours with a four try haul, while Robinson was easily the pick of the backs. Stoke division two fell to the fate of many previous teams, failing to drive away from Collingwood with a win. Collingwood scored two first half tries before Stoke came out firing in the second half to tie the scores thanks to a Sam Dempster try and a conversion and penalty goal to Jacob Curtis. The home side found another gear though and powered on to win the game 29-10. Stoke will host the other Golden Bay team, Takaka, this Saturday at Greenmeadows.
