Climbing to a new home Kate Russell It’s the only climbing centre in the Top of the South, but it could be all reduced to rubble by the end of the year. Vertical Limits on Vanguard St is on the hunt for a temporary home until they can build a brandnew centre. The building which houses the much-loved facility was purchased by Gibbons Holdings late last year, who have plans to redevelop the site. It was also home to the Salvation Army Family Store and Wills Auctions - but both have now moved to new locations. Manager James Scoltock took over Vertical Limits two years ago and says he found out in December that their lease wasn’t going to be renewed. He has since brought land at another Vanguard St location to build a brand-new climbing centre, but he says it would be “years away”.

Mayor defends $3 million overspend Sara Hollyman Reporter

Nelson City Council has done a “pretty good job” on managing its civil infrastructure projects de-

spite an almost $3 million overspend in the last five years, according to Nelson Mayor Rachel Reese. The council’s infrastructure projects have come under fire recently for budget blowouts

and running over schedule on timeframes. After Stoke’s Greenmeadows Centre resulted in a $1 million overspend, the Nelson Weekly requested details of all major infrastructure projects that had an initial budget of more

than $1 million that either went over budget or weren’t completed in the expected time frames. Figures were released under the Official Information Act revealing that of the 15 major works over the past five years, almost

half were over budget and another half weren’t completed on time. The total overspend came to $2.7 million. In some cases, overspends and

Climbing to a new home FROM PAGE 1 “The building quotes are well in excess of $1 million - and we have no time, we’ve only got six months. Until then, we need to secure a lease on a temporary building which can house us.” James says there is “real need” for them to keep operating a climbing facility in Nelson and they have been inundated with letters of support. “There are a lot of people who believe in this place,” he says. “Not only do we have school groups who rely on us for their outdoor education classes, but there are community groups such a Big Brothers Big Sisters and Scouts who benefit too.” During winter, they host 250 school kids a week from as far

away as Blenheim, and they also have a “booming” after school kids club. “We really believe in what we’re doing here. “A big part of our business is about providing a space for these schools and groups to go,” says James. Despite the circumstances, James says the future for Nelson climbers looks bright, with the idea of a new centre being well supported by local business. “Architects, engineers, electricians and plumbers have already offered their services for free or at a heavily discounted rate.” He also says the new building would be more of an “outdoor centre” - not just a rock climbing facility. It would meet Olympic stand-

ards with a 15m high speed wall. Currently there are none in Australasia. “The other thing we want to build is a competition bouldering wall - there is only one in the country at the moment,” he says. “There’s definitely some talent here in Nelson we want to nurture.” James says if there is anyone who can help them out with a temporary building or contribute to their new building, they can contact him on 0274636975 or email verticallimitsnelson@gmail.com “Ideally it would be in Nelson City with a 7-9m height - but we can’t be fussy, we’ll look at anything,” he says. “Because of that time crunch, we’re just going to have to make do with what we’ve got.”

New charges laid against driver Staff reporter Police have laid new charges against the man who allegedly caused a car crash that injured a pregnant woman who had to have an emergency caesarean to save her unborn baby, who later died. Andrew Fleming, 47, has been charged with driving with excess blood alcohol causing death and two counts of driving with excess blood alcohol causing injury. He entered no please and has been remanded on bail to reappear again on July 10. The crash occurred on April 30 at around 7pm when Fleming allegedly collided with another vehicle. The driver and his 30-week pregnant partner were both injured in the crash. The woman was rushed to Nelson Hospital where she had an emergency caesarean. The family were then transferred to Wellington’s neo-natal unit where the baby died five days later.

Mayor defends $3 million overspend FROM PAGE 1 time extensions were listed as “approved scope changes” or “unforeseen circumstances”. However, Mayor Rachel Reese says that the civil team does a “pretty good job”. “We have a great relationship with local civil contractors to deliver the best that we can for Nelson and the region.” Rachel says council goes through a rigorous tender process for all major projects. She says that often budget blowouts are due to controlled scope changes and that overspend of $2.7 million was minimal, considering a lot of it was pre-approved. “Often, you’re looking at a civil project and say ‘ok, while we’re there we’re going to do the storm water and other services’ but then find there’s other factors underneath such as ground contamination that

Mayor Rachel Reese you just can’t predict.” She also says that there are things that can put pressure on the system such as the Kaikoura earthquake. “If you have something that has to be done in a timely manner you have to pay a premium to get it done and sometimes this can’t be factored into budgets.” Rachel does acknowledge that buildings are an area where council has less experience.

“Our chief executive Pat Dougherty has given us feedback that we haven’t had enough contingency built into our contracts and budgets so that’s something we are working on. “Where it’s one off stuff like the Trafalgar Centre, Greenmeadows and School of Music, it will be a lot harder, but there will be provisions within those contracts for variations.” Rachel says that when staff enter into a contract with a tenderer she expects them to be able to deliver a quality product to reasonable expectations. “Where they are things that you cannot foresee, what do we do? You have to accept that there will be some risk. If there are things that someone should’ve foreseen then as elected members, we’re entitled to express the fact that we’re not happy.”

Nelson boys solving world’s problems Charles Anderson Four Nelson boys have taken on the world and come out with a slew of trophies. Last week, Nelson College Prep students Fergus Richards, Tom Lynch, Preston Holder and Oliver Taylor, all 12, returned from their triumphant trip to Wisconsin in the United States to compete in the Future Problem Solving International conference. But travelling back with them were a haul of trophies and medals after coming up against 63 other teams from around the world.

“It was great for the boys to have done so well,” said teacher Sarah Watts. “There were teams from China, the United States, and then little New Zealand.” The students won the dramatic presentation category in which they had to try and solve a community issue based on criminal justice and in a city in the future. The city was trying to implement a “safe streets” programme but authorities were doing this through hitech surveillance. Instead, the boys suggested creating weaponry that could only be activated when a person was in genuine distress, so they could

not be misused. The weapons would respond to bodily functions like heart rate. “It’s set in the future, so you can be a bit creative,” said Tom. They also came fourth in the exam part of the competition. When the results were being read out, all the finalists were invited on stage and were counted down. “It was amazing hearing the numbers tick away,” said Oliver. “We were just shell-shocked.” Sarah says the boys were a pleasure. “These lads are just 12-yearsold. What they had to work through was just amazing.”

Photo: File Jonty Dine It’s less than 100 days to go until Nelson hosts the greatest rugby team on the planet for the very first time. Public ticket sales for the All Blacks vs Argentina test at Trafalgar Park on Saturday, September 8, will be available from today. Tasman Rugby Union commercial and marketing manager Les Edwards says the city has been buzzing in anticipation for its inaugural All Blacks test. “Pre-sales have been positive, and a lot of momentum has come from team All Blacks’ members and Mako season member purchases.” Les says there has been a significant uptake in Mako season memberships, which is very positive for the union. Tickets can be purchased from

12pm today online at allblacks.com and will start at $100. Les warns punters to go through the official avenues to secure their seats. “We want people to go through the right channel of the All Blacks website and not use resale sites.” Les says fans who have bought through resale sites have had issues at both the Auckland and Wellington tests against France. “The only way to guarantee your seat is to go through All Blacks. com, Beggs Musicworks, (264 Hardy St) or at the i-SITE (77 Trafalgar St).” The All Blacks went two from two to start their season on Saturday, dispatching the French 26-13 in a scrappy encounter in Wellington. The third test will take place under the roof in Dunedin this weekend.

Staff reporter New Zealand’s most modern deep-sea fishing vessel received a warm welcome from locals as she arrived in Nelson on Friday. The brand new, state-of-theart vessel docked at 9am, and is the first to be added to the country’s deep-water fleet in over 20 years. Built for Sealord by Simek shipyard in Flekkefjord, Norway, in an extensive 16-month build project, the $70m purposebuilt vessel took six-weeks to

get here from Norway via the Panama Canal. Named Tokatu from the Māori proverb "Te toka tu moana” (the rock that stands in the oceans) the vessel is designed to fish all species and will produce base products at sea. At 81.75 metres long and 4706 gross tonnage, Tokatu will be the largest fishing vessel in New Zealand. It is equipped with energy production equipment to allow electricity to drive the vessel at times, additional fuel saving technology and the new preci-

sion seafood harvesting technology. Sealord board chair Whaimutu Dewes, also chair of Moana New Zealand which jointly owns Sealord, said Tokatu was reflective of Maōri interests in modernising its fishing fleet. "The board and Sealord senior management are focussed on continuing to develop Sealord as a progressive, forward looking fishing company. This new vessel enables us to improve our operational efficiencies, continue to lead sustainable fishing practices, and provide consistent world-class products for our customers.” Tim Pankhurst, Seafood New Zealand chief executive, said he was looking forward to seeing the new vessel. "This is the biggest investment in a vessel New Zealand has seen. Our overall fleet is ageing and Tokatu represents a new chapter, and a significant vote of confidence in the seafood industry.” Tokatu will complete final testing in Nelson before she is put to work on a four-week fishing trip off the West Coast of the South Island. A ceremony will be held later in the year to formally celebrate with key stakeholders the addition of Tokatu to Sealord's fleet.

Why are today’s children so anxious? Jonty Dine Society's unrealistic expectations of both parents and children are creating a generation of anxious kids, according to a local psychologist. “Anxious parents often have anxious children,” Nelson child therapist Bridget Thompson says. Her comments come after the Nelson Weekly reported on Nelson Bays Football’s recent decision to no longer publish junior results tables. Local principals defended the move while some parents saw it as wrapping kids in cotton wool. However, health workers and educators say we are dealing with a different child than we were a decade ago. Bridget says there isn’t any one factor contributing to the adolescent anxiety epidemic. “Each child with anxiety has their own story and often there are a variety of reasons." However, she says poverty, expectations and the rise Nelson child therapist of electronic deBridget Thompson says vices can all conthere are a number of tribute. factors contributing to Bridget says povthe adolescent anxiety erty and housing epidemic.

will then not discuss how they are feeling for fear of creating more stress for their parents. Society’s unrealistic expectations don’t stop with the parents. “There are huge expectations on children to do well at school and to do several activities.” Bridget says this means that often there isn’t much down time to just play, create, or learn to be bored. “Learning to manage boredom is something that children today are not very good at.”

The decline of kids just being kids is also exacerbated by technology and the modern child’s difficulties with self-regulating, she says. “As mammals, we learn to self-regulate through interaction with other people, we learn to assess the safety of a person and situation through noticing facial expressions and movements.” Bridget says people are developing a need for regulating through devices such as phones and laptops rather, than by face to face interaction. “Unfortunately, education is moving more and more away from face to face in-

teraction and therefore the child’s nervous system doesn’t have the opportunity to exercise the normal regulatory circuits associated through engagement with other people.” She says, as a result, the nervous system doesn’t build the strength it needs to selfregulate. “Education is based on learning more and more information, which involves sitting for long periods of time rather than focusing on activities that foster creativity such as play, music, art, dance and physical exercise, all of which require social engagement.

Nikau still standing tall Sara Hollyman When Nikau Parker was born her parents knew that she would need to be strong and flexible, so they named her Nikau after the native palm tree. “She has grown to be just that; beautiful, tall, strong and flexible just like her namesake,” says her mother, Noa. But Nikau was just 10-yearsold when Noa, a yoga instructor, noticed that her daughter’s pelvis was out of line. So she began to do exercises with her to help. Eventually, she was referred for an X-ray and what they found was shocking. “Her spine was beginning to form an S-shaped bend,” Noa says. “She was diagnosed with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. It was really scary for her because the doctor gave her so much information in that first visit.” Since then Nikau and her family have been on a constant roller coaster of trials, big efforts, small victories and a lot of frustration. After researching all the options available to them, Noa

An X-ray image of Nikau’s spine. and Nikau decided that Vertebral Body Tethering (VBT), which works a lot like braces on teeth, was her best option. “We have a surgeon in Auckland and we have always hoped that he would perform the surgery.

"But then a month ago he said it wouldn’t be done and I just broke down,” says Noa. The alternative for Nikau was a spinal rod which Noa describes as “like a broomstick attached to your spine”. “When we got that news, I just had to cry, and Nikau was so strong. "She told me ‘Don’t worry mum, I’m going to be a really good netball player and I’m going to be a famous player even with the rod in my spine’. “Imagine the range of motion that she couldn’t have. I just started thinking off all the things, like being able to lean down to kiss her child on the head one day, that she wouldn’t be able to do, and I thought ‘no, we have to try something else’.” Noa found a surgeon in Istanbul, Turkey, who will perform the surgery at a cost of more than $70,000, but time is of the essence. The surgery will instantly correct a lot of the spine and will then use Nikau’s growth as a lever to bring her spine back into alignment. “Nikau is about to have her final growth spurt, we would be

in Turkey now if we could.” Noa says that she is hoping to have a date in July for the surgery, so they have set up a Givealittle page to help raise funds to pay for it. “In one week we have raised $44,000, I thought it couldn’t be done but now I have so much hope. It’s so overwhelming to feel all this love coming to us from all over the world.” She says there is still a chance that it will be too late for the surgery and spinal fusion with the rods being the only option, but they remain positive. “We had a very generous donation from a woman who has the rods in her spine and she said she wants to prevent it happening to someone else. We know there’s still a chance and we will cross that bridge if we get to it.” The family is planning a big party in August to celebrate the success of the surgery and fundraise for any extra funds that they will need to repay. “We have a lot of amazing items to auction off, including aviation lessons and an All Blacks' jersey donated by Owen Franks.”

National Party leader addresses Nelson voters Jonty Dine Leader of the opposition Simon Bridges says locals with a steady income, a steady relationship and Kiwisaver will get on the property market with perseverance. About 250 locals attended a National Party meeting at the Headingly Centre in Richmond on Friday. Simon fielded questions from concerned locals as well as outlining his intents should he be elected into power in 2020. Simon says he and the National Party are developing some "positive and exciting”

plans for the 2020 campaign as he hopes to become the 41st prime minister of New Zealand. The issue of housing was a common concern brought up by members of the public in attendance. Locals cited young relatives with high paying jobs, unable to get a foot in the market. Simon assured the audience that young people with steady income, a stable relationship and are investing in Kiwi Saver, "will get there". He also says that there is a need for a change to the Resource Management Act.

Simon says National tried for nine years to put forward a referendum to the act but were blocked by the then Labour opposition. "If they can come up with a suitable solution, we will not do to them what they did to us.” The National leader also emphasised his commitment to combating climate change. Those in attendance expressed their fears of a planet their great grandchildren will be unable to inhabit. "It is something I take very seriously, I want to present a greener place.”

Simon says the key to change will be attacking the issue at the consumption end, not production. He says New Zealanders are all environmentalists, but we need to be practical environmentalists. The National leader also took the opportunity to criticise the current government’s spending. Simon says the government’s latest budget is "weird” and Labour have not prioritised appropriately. "After Nationals hard work it was the easiest budget to deliver in decades, but they are spending less on health and only slightly more on education.”

Chamber of Commerce chief steps down Staff Reporter The Nelson Tasman and Marlborough Chambers of Commerce chief executive Grant Kerr is stepping down from his position to take up a new role at NMIT. Grant has accepted the position as executive director of strategy, enterprise and sustainability at NMIT. He will start transitioning into this role from mid-September. Grant will continue to support both chambers in the lead up to the Business Awards held in November. Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce board president Lees Seymour says Grant did a wonderful job as CEO of both chambers, leading their re-invigoration and providing members with real value and benefits. "Since Grant joined the chamber in February 2017, he has introduced a new strategy and direction for the Nelson Tasman Chamber. He has built excellent working relationships with NRDA and NMIT, breathed new life into the chamber brand, and introduced a new format for the 30th anniversary of the Business Awards this year."

Nina says it is with regret that Grant is stepping down from the chambers, "but we look forward to continuing to work with him in his new role at NMIT”.

NMIT chief executive Liam Sloan says he was overwhelmed with the high level and calibre of applications for the role of executive director.

Local party reps combine over mental health Staff reporter Nelson's four political party representatives have joined forces to call on the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board and the Government to halt planned changes to the city’s specialist afterhours Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS). The move follows a campaign by 18-year-old old mental health campaigner Zoe Palmer, who organised a petition and public meeting about the issue. In a joint statement, Na-

tional’s Nick Smith, Labour’s Rachel Boyack, The Greens’ Matt Lawrey and NZ First’s Sue Sara expressed their support for Zoe and their opposition to the service being restructured before the findings of the Government Inquiry into Mental Health and Addiction are known. “We are concerned that Nelson’s young people will suffer as a result of the Health Board’s planned changes to the CAMHS after-hours service. We are proud of the service that has contributed to Nelson having a lower youth suicide rate than most parts

of the country.” Under the review, the afterhours CAMHS team, which provides specialist help to young people at risk, would be replaced by a more general team. “We think it is unwise to make changes to this service that has both a track record of success and the support of our community, ahead of the conclusion of the Mental Health Inquiry," the statement reads. “We commend Zoe Palmer on her brave campaign and for organising the highly successful public meeting on Friday night at-

tended by around 70 people. There was unity, not just among the political parties, but among psychologists, mental health nurses, counsellors, social workers, parents and young people, all of whom called for a halt to the changes to the service ahead of the Inquiry.” Rachel, Matt, Sue and Nick have also agreed to write to the health board and Minister of Health David Clark, outlining their concerns and requesting that a stop be put to the restructuring of the service, scheduled for implementation in August.

Lanterns for Matariki

LANTERN MAKING: From left are Emma Ray (12), Violet Duncan (7), Lea Baré (15), Ira Duncan (4) and Klara Baré (11) who all made lanterns for Victory’s Matariki celebrations next week. Photo: Kate Russell.

Kate Russell The Railway Reserve will be lit up with lanterns next Wednesday night for the tenth annual Matariki Lantern Parade. The celebrations kicked off early at the Victory Community Centre on Sunday where around 30 people gathered for a lantern-making workshop. Children and parents made paper lanterns of all shapes and sizes which they will light up for the march up the Railway Reserve. Matariki is the Māori name for the cluster of stars also known as the Pleiades, or Seven Sisters. It rises in mid-winter and signals the Māori New Year. Event organiser Nicola Baré says it’s a milestone year for the lantern parade, which started with humble beginnings a decade ago. “Now it’s something that the local community looks forward to every year.” She is expecting over 1000 people to attend the celebrations, which start at 3.30pm with performances by Victory Primary School students. Hot soup and rolls will be on offer before the lantern parade up the Railway Reserve, which will come to life with drummers, fire performers, artwork and the famous ‘neon zone’ which has been created by the YMCA Youth Group. Afterwards, back at the community centre, there will be hangi, vegetable curry and a sausage sizzle to warm people up, followed by more entertainment. Nicola says the event wouldn’t be possible with the dedication of the community and volunteers. “Every year they make the event what it is,” she says. “It has grown a lot in the last ten years - every year it just gets bigger and better with more food and more music. “All cultures are celebrated because we are such a diverse centre.” Nicola says to bring a lantern or torch for the procession up the Railway Reserve and remember to wrap up warm. “If the weather plays along, it would be fantastic and everyone will get to enjoy everything that’s happening.” The Matariki Lantern Parade is on Wednesday, 27 June, 3:30pm – 8pm at the Victory Community Centre, 2 Totara St. Entry is $1 per person. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.

TUESDAY 19 June 2018

Book Fair: Dear Editor, Thank you for your report on the current Founders Park Book Fair. However, it needs a correction. Its present coordinator, Karen Clark, is quoted as saying "the 'spectacular' event has grown from its humble beginnings in a garage to one of the highlights on the Nelson events calendar." In fact, as co-founder of this book fair, I can vouch for the fact that it did not have "humble beginnings in a garage". The first year I sorted and categorised more than 60,000 books with the help of some welcome volunteers dropping in and out. The first fair was also a terrific event for its time. We didn't charge admission, to help make it available to everybody, and it was held in the Granary - no garage - but a spacious wooden building which I believe was what survived the previous disastrous local convent fire - and was subsequently moved to the Founders Park. It's a great pleasure to see how well this book fair has done over the years. It's also good to see that all the work involved at the time was worth it. Kind regards, Amy Brooke Parents need to ‘get with the times’: People have to learn not only how to win,

but how to lose and how to improve and have goals. It was discussed abolishing 1st, 2nd, 3rd certificates at sports, cross country, athletics, swimming etc. Participation should be encouraged for all, but success also acknowledged. Diane Chandler My experience with kids and Saturday sports was positive, my kids never felt anxious on the sports fields, however they did feel anxious about going to school sometimes. Anxious about a speech, a project or a test they had to sit, or bullying from other kids. They were fortunate enough to have good teams with great coaches who didn’t put that kind of pressure on them. Unlike the pressure that is put on them by the school system. Jo Cotton The kids all know the result of the game and how they and the team are playing. You don't need a results table to tell them that. Well done, NBF. John Sauer Time to stop referee abuse, say codes: Yes, it’s a disgrace how some sidelines are full of wannabes, hurling instructions at their kids, being abusive to other kids and officials, yet they are not the ones out there, doing their

Nelson Matters I am disappointed but not surprised at the strike action bringing Port Nelson to a halt. It is payback time for the unions following the change of government and they are now flexing their industrial muscle. It is the first strike by Port Nelson staff in 30 years. Three container ships were disrupted at the weekend and the union has given notice of a further strike for a week starting this Friday that will disrupt another dozen ship visits. The strike action is by just eight members of the Merchant Service Guild who are the masters

and engineers on the port tugs out of 300 staff at the port. These tug operators are not low paid workers and earn over $100,000 a year. They do need to be on call 24/7 during their duty weeks but work about 25 hours a week and get 17 weeks off a year. Their union’s demands are driven by greed not need. Giving into the unions high demands will push up costs for exporters and undermines our competitiveness. Nelson orchardists are livid and feel held to ransom. They must get their apple and kiwifruit exports across the wharf this month to get to markets like Eu-

rope on time. Millions of dollars of fruit are a risk. This strike will hurt many other industries like forestry, fishing, wine and dairy. It also affects other workers like port staff and truck drivers who will have their work and pay disrupted. Every ratepayer in Nelson and Tasman loses because we are owners of the port through our Councils, and will be affected by lower dividends. The greatest damage from the strikes is to business confidence. We have had more strikes nationally in the last nine months in sectors like buses, trains and

best and playing their little hearts out. I love seeing the kids who have amazing parents who do nothing but encourage, support and show pride when their kid comes off, the children’s faces show what it means to them. These are the majority of parents and it’s lovely to watch. Linda Smith

Paying it forward with photos: Thank you so much for writing this piece on the Pay It Forward photo shoot! Honestly, such a proud moment reading it! I just love how the families have responded to their portraits! Kimberly John

Great idea. We don't even go and watch my husband referee anymore as standing with your kids and having them hear parents call their dad a "useless f...... c..." is not really how we wish to spend our Saturdays. Annoys me that people give up time with their families to go and volunteer to ref games and that's how they get treated. People will just give up offering. Bronwyn Eggers

E-trike moves Lynette forward: That’s wonderful. Joan Carmody

Great work, Nelson Basketball and Nelson Netball. This is a problem that is not isolated to one sports code and we at Tasman Rugby League promote the same message at our games via the NZ Rugby League programme "Be a Sport", designed specifically to encourage positive supporter behaviour and provide more enjoyable rugby league experiences for our community. Fantastic to see this being rolled out in other codes in the Nelson area. Tasman Rugby League

other ports than in the last nine years. The fear is a return to the 1970s and 1980s when we lost over a million productive working days a year to industrial disruption. I want higher wages and families benefiting from the strong economy. The average annual wage increased from $42,000 to $52,000 a year over the last nine years under National. My problem with strike-driven wage increases is that it favours those who can cause the greatest disruption rather than those who have the greatest skills or work the hardest. The tug boat opera-

tors will do well but the scientist on valuable long term research doesn’t have the same leverage. The new Coalition Government is giving unions more power but it will make Nelson poorer. Business confidence is plummeting. Nelson has gone from the topranked regional economy out of 16 a year ago to now number 12. We need this dispute resolved. Port Nelson is the heart of our successful exporting economy.

A Nelson College for Girls pupil is about to embark on the trip of a lifetime, one that explores the outer dimensions of space. Alexia Landry has been selected to attend the prestigious International Space Camp (ISC) in Alabama, and then, just three days later, the International Summer School for Young Physicists (ISSYP) at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Canada. She was selected by the Royal Society Te Apārangi from more than 100 applicants to receive a scholarship to attend ISC. Alexia then found out that she is the only person in New Zealand and one of just 40 people in the world to be selected for the Summer School programme. She will join students from 34 countries from around the world. The students will be challenged both academically and physically through extended duration missions and, if they wish, experiencing microgravity in the Underwater Astronaut Trainer. “It’s going to be really cool, at Space Camp I’ll get to do astronaut and simulator training and then at the summer school I’ll be at the world’s top theoretical physics institutes getting actual lectures on things like quantum computing." Chief executive at Royal Society Te Apārangi Andrew Cleland says it’s an opportunity not to be missed. “Not only is this a great opportunity for talented young New Zealanders to interact with experts at the top of their fields in science, but it is also an occasion for students to meet other like-minded students from around the world and to share their cultural differences.” Alexia hopes to one day work at the same institute in Canada and says that the process of applying for the scholarships was strange. “It’s weird writing about yourself, you don’t want to make yourself seem perfect. "It’s hard to find a balance between showing your best qualities and making yourself seem real.” In addition to her studies at school, Alexia has been an active member in a number of extracurricular activities in her senior year. She has founded a lunchtime current issues club, tutors younger students in mathematics and science, and volunteers at a number of community events. She is also a mentor for Big Brothers Big Sisters where she is a trusting “big sister” for a young Nepalese girl now living in Nelson. Alexia says that participating at two international programmes is an honour that will help her learn more about science. “It will be great to be taught about scientific concepts, especially beyond what is offered in the high school curriculum. "July is going to be a very busy month.”

We would like to acknowledge and thank all our volunteers for their support and commitment to our organisation and all those living with dementia.

You really do make a difference.

WE NEED YOU

What skills do you have that may support our organisation to continue to support those living with dementia?

Thousands of New Zealanders give up their free time every day of the week to be volunteers - and this week they are being celebrated. “About one in three people in New Zealand is a volunteer, which is one of the highest in the world, and supports the claim that New Zealanders are some of the most generous people around” says Gordon Oldfield, Manager of Volunteer Nelson. This number reflects those people volunteering in an organisation and regularly undertaking a specific task, but if less formal volunteering was included in which volunteers did a street collection or assisted in an event, then the number would be even higher. Volunteers can be found in just about every sector, including health and social services, emergency services, environmental services, conservation, and community sports. Gordon says, “we would not recognise our community without volunteers”.

Every few weeks the Nelson Weekly sits down with someone interesting, doing something interesting. This week we speak to TVNZ’s reporter Kaitlyn Ruddock who is approaching her one-year anniversary as the network’s first ever top of the south news correspondent based in Nelson.

Then I was doing a school project and interviewing someone from a radio station about their job and then they asked if I wanted to jump on air. That was it. From there I found out about the New Zealand Broadcasting School in Christchurch and went straight there after finishing school. Q: What have been some of your highlights?

Q: How did you come to be TVNZ’s first correspondent in the region? A: This is my fourth year with TVNZ, I’d been working in Auckland and Wellington doing a variety of things. My last gig was working on the Breakfast show and then last year we decided about whether a “video journalist” model was the way to go. Q: A video journalist is someone who reports, films and edits their own stories rather than having a cameraman? A: Exactly that. We used to have regional reporters with a cameraman. But technology now helps with it. A lot more people can even file stories on their iPhones. When I came to TVNZ I had been out of broadcasting school and we had done a lot of video

TVNZ correspondent Kaitlyn Ruddock speaks about her role covering the top of the South Island.

A couple of years later there was talk of these jobs being created so if there was ever a time to go for it, it was now.

rived to get my head around everything it’s a bit easier 12 months on. With the freedom of this role, what I love about it is you can just get in the car and just go to get the story. Q: What drew you to broadcasting?

Q: What do you like about the role?

A: I’d been tossing up when I was a kid being a secret agent and an actress but I had to get a bit more realistic. Over the years I saw that I could actually blend those two things a little bit into broadcasting. I love digging in as deep as I can into things.

A: You are just one person. It’s a big ask. If you cut the top of the south in half there are a lot of places to cover. You get a sense of satisfaction about that because the buck stops with you. It was a bit intimidating when I first ar-

A: I found it really satisfying with what was happening with Kaikoura with the road was going to Ward and just spending time with the people there. That was really special, for me I love being able to give people's voices that often fade into the wings. I got to shoot outside of a helicopter and some of the weather events here have been really interesting to cover. Q: So what next? What’s the dream role? A: Every role has been the dream role in the time that it needed to be. But I’m sure at some stage I will be looking to do bigger roles on programmes or foreign corresponding overseas. That’s something I’m looking at but happy to chip away at. I think you know when the time is right.

NCG takes on Toa Kate Russell A group of young Nelson actors are set to give audiences a 2018 teen perspective on a cult Kiwi classic, 20 years after its debut. The Nelson College for Girls year 13 drama class (aka #punchingaboveourweight productions) will be presenting their rendition of Toa Fraser’s Bare from 2 - 4 July at Ghost Light Theatre. Bare is a monologue play set in South Auckland in the early 2000s. In a cinema complex, the play riffs on Kiwi pop culture, body image, films, takeaway food, graffiti and Shakespeare. Student director Brittany O’Meagher says the play is a comedy which also touches on some more serious issues such as racism, domestic violence and poverty, as well as the migrant story. “Some of us are playing more than one character, others are playing a different gender and

other characters have different lives from ours - so that's been really interesting and challenging.” The 22 girls are also doing more than acting, taking on the roles as producers and directors. “It’s been an eye opener to see all the different aspects of putting on play,” says Brittany. “We’ve learned how to write a press release, use social media to promote our play, read a theatre contract, get our community involved and how to create a buzz about the show.” Students Grace Wratt and Stephanie Ingham say the play will appeal to any kiwi who likes to have a good laugh. “The characters are all very relatable and recognisable. The first version of the play was written in 1997 and then another version in 2007, so there are lots of late 80s to early 2000s references to celebrities, TV shows and events of the time.”

The Nelson College for Girls year 13 drama class is performing Toa Fraser’s Bare, at Ghost Light Theatre next month. Photo: Sherise Ho. And for some of the girls, it will be their first time performing outside the school gates. “It’s exciting that we are going to be performing at Ghost Light

Theatre in front of a bigger audience than we are used to,” says Brittany. “We want as many people as possible to come to the show as we

really love it and know the audience will, too.” Bare is on at Ghost Light Theatre from 2 - 4 July. Tickets are available from www.ghostlight.nz

The Waimea College showquest team have been busy preparing for their performance next week. Photo: Supplied.

Students set to showcase their stuff Staff reporter The Trafalgar Centre will be pumping with excitement next Tuesday as student teams jump on stage in New Zealand’s newest music, dance and drama event, Showquest. Nelson is the second region to stage the new performance event for schools, with local teens capturing the spirit of the event in themes that are important to them. In Nelson there are seven schools entered, with over 200 students taking part. Event publicist Georgia Parker says there some themes that reflect young people’s concerns. “Waimea College is presenting ‘Distorted Images’, a performance that explores societies fascination with covering up flaws in order to fit in, performed by an all female team of 19 students,” she says. “The girls are fizzing at the opportunity of performing outside of school and can’t wait to shine on stage.” Showquest is being run by Rockquest Promotions. This is the same team that has been producing Smokefreerockquest and Smokefree Tangata Beats across New Zealand for the past three decades.

The event in Nelson is a collaboration with local group Break Out, with the support of the Nelson City Council. Matt Ealand from the Rockquest Promotions Auckland office says teams will be judged overall on their performance, soundtrack, costuming, chorography, and theme. “Showquest is structured on a competitive framework," says Matt. "But the driving rationale, as with all the Rock Promotions’ events, is to encourage participation, creative growth and team work,” he says. “We find that if we are able to provide a platform where students can express themselves on their own terms within the boundaries of the event, the rewards go far beyond the rush of performing on the day.” Awards to be presented at the Nelson event include first, second and third places, and the Star Award for overall spirit, voted by teachers on the day. In registering for the programme, schools can opt out of the competitive aspect of the event. Showquest Nelson will be held at the Trafalgar Centre on Tuesday June 26 start time 7pm, tickets $10 students, $20 adults, $60 family of five, at the door or from Ticketmaster.

Adam to take on world's best Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Nelson College student Adam Schwass is a walking weapon. The 15-year-old recently won the best overall black belt at the South Island Taekwondo Regionals held in Christchurch in May. Adam defeated a former New Zealand rep in a closely-fought final. “It was a pretty even fight, we were both running each other around.” He says a few well directed head kicks and punches helped make his score a winning one. The young fighter says his victory was the result of many months of hard work. “I went there with the mindset to win,” he says. Adam finished the competition with a medal haul of two gold and one silver, to go with his 15 points and best overall black belt. He will now head to the nationals in Wellington next month before going to Australia in September for the TKD

World Cup. His short career only started five years ago. He has since enjoyed a rapid rise through the ranks, ticking off 10 different belts before earning his black belt in December last year. Adam says it had been a long journey, but a fulfilling one. “A lot of effort goes in and it can be hard to find the time to train outside of school.” Adam says his fighting strength is his fitness. “I’m able to keep up with the fight for the full rounds.” He says you can have all the strength and technique, but if you can’t last the distance you will not be a successful fighter. He says self-control and not using what he has learnt out in the street are key. “The club itself is like a family, everyone is supportive of each other.” Next year, a New Zealand team will travel to Germany for an international tournament. “My goal is to be in that team,” Adam says.

Pain no obstacle for Ben Bolitho Jonty Dine Endurance racer Ben Bolitho loves pushing his body to extreme limits.

Ben ran through the Blue Mountains in Lower Portland from midday on Saturday June 9 till

midday on Sunday June 10, averaging a lap time of 2 hours 13minutes to win silver in the men’s 30-39-year division. He managed 11 laps of the 11.6km course which included more than 30 obstacles. “They varied from walls, to rope climbs, traverses, carries, pretty much any kind of military-inspired obstacle you can think of.” Ben says he had a feeling that the longer it would go the better he would do, but did not expect to finish just one spot behind German Fabian Sinning. “I was pretty pleased with the result, but I definitely surprised myself with a podium finish.” Ben says he went through some life changes a few years ago and his affinity for obstacle racing began at The Wairua Warrior. He has since competed in some of the world’s most gruelling endurance events including the Coast to Coast and the Inca Trail in Peru. However, he says he enjoys obstacle racing most because “it gives you more to do than just running.” Ben’s training regime can include up to seven hours a day of exercise. This includes a 50km run, which takes Ben about five hours, followed by a couple of hours of climbing training. Ben says the body held up well after the 24hour ordeal. “On Monday I probably looked a bit funny when I walked, but I’m pretty happy with how it’s come through.”

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Nelson remain top of NPD Tasman Trophy table following a comfortable win over Moutere on Saturday. Marist are nipping at their heels but still sit second after failing to take a bonus point in their 21-10 victory over East Coast. A scoreless second half left coach Gavin Briggs frustrated and ruing lost opportunities, as Marist couldn’t convert their chance to leapfrog Nelson. Marist had the first chance for points but second five James Hawkey pushed a regulation penalty attempt just wide. They eventually broke their bagel after turning down another shot at three and opting for the corner. After an untidy throw to the line out, flanker Kasima Sami cleaned up for the green machine before the backs shifted it to Cleve Barrell, who found himself in space and powered his way over. Coast got themselves on the board through a penalty goal to Nicholas Herreros, but Marist continued to dominate both territory and

possession. Lock Caleb Havili had an immense game, picking off pilfers, producing bone-rattling tackles and was Marist’s top metre-eater. The green machine scored their second on the back of a superb break by winger Richard Tau’alupe who left several East Coast defenders in his wake. Livewire scrum half Cayden Edwards had a stellar first half, his break from the base putting Marist in range as number eight Te Puoho Stephens dotted down for their third. It would be Cayden’s final act of the game, coming off the field with a shoulder injury, Barrell moving into half back. His opposite Nemia Ranuku then put East Coast on the board, burrowing his way under the fringe defence just before the break. Marist kept Coast camped inside their own 22 for the majority of the second half but were unable to crack the line. East Coast defended bravely to deny Marist a crucial try scoring bonus point and force the hosts into numerous errors. The hosts had a final shot at their bonus point with an attacking lineout, but the ball

was lost into touch as referee Dave Woodhouse called curtains on a dour half of rugby. Gavin says, while he will take the win, he wasn’t too pleased with the lack of patience his side showed at times. The Marist coach says the bye couldn’t have come at a better time next week. Gavin says, it would have been nice to get the bonus point, but his team are "still in the dog fight." In other results, Waitohi travelled to Brightwater to take on a rebuilding Wanderers side, the hosts upsetting the ‘Tohis 26-24 in a thriller. The weekend’s game of the round saw the leading Marlborough sub union team, Renwick, host Kahurangi at the Renwick Domain as the hosts defended the John Goodman Challenge Trophy for the very first time. Renwick held onto the trophy after a 40-26 win. Fresh from the bye last weekend, Waimea Old Boys went down to Central 31-27 at Jubilee Park. The round's final game saw competition leaders Nelson travel over the hill to take on Moutere. Nelson remain at the top of the table after a 33-18 win.

Rams crept their way back to eventually regain a 37-36 lead midway through the second. The teams kept trading buckets and the lead, a 50-50 score line indicative of two very evenly matched sides. The Rams then edged out to a sevenpoint lead, the biggest of the game mid-way through. A superb shot from outside the arc by Tom Ingham brought Nelson to within one before Kyle finally put the Giants back in front with a layup right on the three-quarter buzzer. The stalemate continued deep into the final ten, the scores locked up at 83 apiece with three minutes to play as the shots stopped dropping for both sides. Scores were still locked up with 60 seconds remaining, the Rams missing a three-point attempt before Delany put the Giants ahead 90-87 as the crowd erupted. The Giants survived a tense final minute for a 96-92 win, Adnam scoring a team high 22 points, Finn Delany with 19 and Tohi adding 17 points and seven rebounds. After a quiet reintroduction to the NBL, Mika Vukona showed his class, contributing a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds, making

The Mike Pero Nelson Giants survived a thrilling encounter to scrape home 96-92 against the Canterbury Rams at the Trafalgar Centre on Thursday night. The win was the perfect send off for Giants' point guard Kyle Adnam who was straight off the court and onto a plane to attend NBA mini-camp with the Dallas Mavericks. The Canterbury Rams put up a fierce challenge as the only side to beat the Giants at the Hangar this season. The Giants were hoping to make amends for their 104-90 loss to the Rams in May. It was an ugly start for the Giants, passes not going to hand and the shooting radar well off target. Tony Tolovae sunk the evening's first three pointer as the Giants early frustrations continued, shooting a little over 30 per cent compared with the Rams' 65 per cent. It took a steal and slam dunk from Delany to swing the momentum in favour of the home side just before the break, as Tohi Milner Smith nailed back to back threes to take the lead for the first time in the game. The close contest continued as the

all seven field goal attempts. Kyle also ended his sensational effort with six assists. The star point guard says they knew the Rams would bring a high tempo game. "It was a really good battle, we know how good the Rams are and the pace they like to play at." He says he is confident his side can keep producing the results and be serious title contenders. "Each week we are building and playing a great brand of basketball, so I think we will be there at the business end of the season, I have no doubt about that.” Kyle was excited about the prospect of showcasing his talents in Dallas. "Anytime you get in an environment like that it’s a bit of a dream come true, so I’m just going to give it a redhot crack.” Adnam says he will “try to defy some more odds” during his time in the States. The Australian national says he hopes to return to the region for a third season next year. “If we keep playing like this and winning it would be awesome, I love Nelson, the people are really friendly, and I love playing here, so definitely a high chance.”

Legends hope to kick on Locally Owned and Operated

Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

At 50 and 60-years-old, respectively, Nelson footballers Kate Redgrove and Richard Kirby have been showing up players less than half their age on the pitch this season. Kate plays for FC Nelson’s division two side while Richard represents the Richmond Athletic Stags in fourth division. The pair are the oldest registered players in the region. Kate says it has been quite a journey to become a Nelson Football ‘legend.’ She wasn’t allowed to play football at school in England during the seventies simply because she was a girl. “I petitioned the headmaster and they finally let me play in goal, but it wasn’t what I wanted, I’d just stand there while the boys had all the fun.” She says she has always been more of a musician than a physical person, but at 45-years-old she dropped 24kg. “I just wanted to lift my mood a bit, it was probably a bit of a

midlife crisis, but I realised I could return to football.” Kate says she encountered a fair bit of unpleasantness from other players during her first season in Christchurch, roughly thirty years after her last game. She says, due to her age, everyone assumed she had been playing football all her life. “The reality was I was brand-new and once they realised that, they were very open about their disappointment.” Memories of the Christchurch environment faded fast at FC Nelson when she joined the club after moving to the city at the end of 2016. “My age isn’t an issue, these 16-year-old girls don’t see me as an old person, they see me as a teammate.” Kate says she just kept “cracking on” and eventually found her confidence on the pitch. “Now I think I’m producing something really useful for the team.” Kate says her side got off to a shaky start without a coach, before a former All White took the reins in mid-May. Peter Simonsen represented New

game, Richard has been playing football for more than 45 years. “I grew up playing with Africans, so they taught me a fair few skills.” He then went on to captain the Waimea College 1st X1, represent Wakefield FC, Christchurch University and Wanganui Athletic. He then went on to spend twenty years in Manawatu. Richard came to Nelson 18 months ago and joined the Richmond club. “It’s a great club, it is well run, and I’ve really enjoyed being here.” He says his experience is his greatest asset. “I don’t have the edge in speed that the younger ones have, but it's just about trying to guess where they might go. "There has been many a young person frustrated with me because they think ‘oh, here is a grey-haired old guy, he will be an easy beat.’” The two footballers have recently been given ‘legend’ status by Nelson Bays Football but both were quick to dismiss that particular label. “I’d be a legend if I got through a whole season without getting injured,” laughs Kate.
