Nelson’s Ed Steenbergen has won the top surf life saving award for Canterbury and Tasman, being named as Lifeguard of the Year. Canterbury and Tasman members were officially recognised for their hard work and dedication to saving lives on Canterbury and Tasman beaches over the weekend at the 2013 Surf Life Saving Awards of Excellence in Christchurch. Ed has been a member of the Nelson Surf Life Saving Club since 2007 and fills the roles of sport's officer, patrol captain, committee member and fundraiser. He has taken a non-competing club to having a presence at regional events along with medallist at national events. Ed has also worked closely within the local community to increase the awareness of Surf Life Saving in the Nelson area and is currently working on a plan to rebuild a surf lifesaving base close to Tahunanui Beach. Surf Life Saving regional manager Stu Bryce says it takes a lot of commitment to be a lifeguard and the awards that were presented on Saturday are proof of that. “Ed has given up countless hours to reach this level of nomination for Lifesaver of the Year and he truly deserves this recognition."

Waimea College year 13 students Jacob Johnston, 18, and Kaine Ransby, 17, midway through their 40km swim at the ASB Aquatic Centre on Sunday. The students undertook the challenge to swim 800 lengths each in order to raise money for the 40 hour famine over the weekend. The distance works out to be the same as the shortest distance of the Cook Strait, and took Jacob and Kaine around 7 hours to com-
plete. Proceeds from sponsorship of their challenge will go towards a $10,000 fundraising goal that the college has set for itself in combination with local youth groups Ignite Youth, Thrive Youth Detonate Youth and Encounter Youth. Students at the college set themselves a variety of goals from going without food, to going without technology and physical challenges. Photo: Sinead Ogilvie.
