Nelson school spending revealed
‘It was the most violent minute I’ve ever dealt with’
Kate Russell Charles Anderson
New school spending data reveals the “huge” funding gap between what is provided by the Government and what is required by schools to operate a modern curriculum, a Nelson principal says. The data, released under the Official Information Act, comes from spending details for every Government-funded school in New Zealand in 2017, the most recent year for which figures are available. The Nelson data over the past five years show the biggest increase in spending comes from Nelson College for Girls, whose spending went from $10.4 million in 2012 to $12.2 million in 2017, a $1.8 million increase. However, principal Cathy Ewing says that rise is partially due to its Preparatory School and Young Parents’ School not being accounted for until after 2012. Nelson College went from $12.9 - $13.9 million, Nayland College from $10.3 - $11.2 million and Waimea College from $12.8 - $14.2 million. Nayland College principal Daniel Wilson says the data shows that there is a “huge” funding gap between what is provided by the government and what is required from schools to operate a modern curriculum. “Nayland College, like most large high schools, relies on international student fees and locally raised funds in order to provide more than just the bare necessities. Without this income we would have much larger class sizes, have only the minimum of equipment such as digital

Luke King was working at a Bridge Street bar when he noticed a puddle of liquid running past his feet. He looked up and saw a man chuckling to himself, and went up to him. “You can’t do that,” Luke said. “You just pissed on the floor.” The man turned to him and said: “You have a problem?” The man had been part of a group of 20-odd people all drinking at the bar at about 11pm two Fridays ago. Before he knew it, Luke was surrounded by the man’s friends – then one of them tried to headbutt him. He missed, but then they all piled on as Luke tried to stay standing. “All his mates were all in. It would have been the most violent minute I’ve ever dealt with.” Every time he popped up, he got hit in the face. Someone tried to cut him with a glass. The swelling has only recently gone down. CCTV footage seen by the Nelson Weekly confirms Luke’s account. Eventually, punters and staff managed to drag the men off each other but not before some of the females of the group

The problem is on the street FROM PAGE 1 tried to get Luke outside to face a group of them. “That’s the mentality we are dealing with. It’s gang mentality, it’s thug mentality.” Luke says that such problems are rare inside bars – it is outside where they can no long control it where it becomes a problem. “If there were two cops posted to the street then that doesn’t happen.” Luke says he believes the police generally do a good job and he supports them, but “there is something about that street”. Police arrested and charged one person with the attack. Corey Taylor, who owns Little Rock and Taylor’s, says that bars and clubs are unfairly targeted in the debate around
alcohol and violence. The fight which Luke experienced was not at one of Taylor’s establishments, but he says that it is supermarkets where the trouble starts. “It’s not breaking news; everyone knows that it starts with cheap alcohol at supermarkets where people buy cheap booze get drunk and then it’s us who have to deal with people. “The problems aren’t inside the venue; the problem is the drunk ones who can’t get in and go wandering the streets looking for ‘entertainment’.” Corey says many of the bar and club owners work together on issues. “Certain proprietors are a bit rogue and give the rest of us a bad name. Most are pretty good and I’m sure they all get frustrated by the same things.”

Nelson school spending revealed FROM PAGE 1 devices and we would not be able to subsidise capital projects.” Nelson College acting headmaster Tim Tucker says the increase in their expenditure reflects the growth rate in the school roll, as well as general rising costs. Waimea College principal Scott Haines also says their increase in spending during this period directly reflects the college’s response to their growing roll. School spending has been a controversial topic since May’s Budget announcement, when the Government announced that, from next year, decile 1
to 7 schools that did not ask parents for voluntary donations would receive $150 per student in additional funding. Nayland College is decile 6, Nelson College and Nelson College for Girls are both decile 7 and Waimea College is decile 8. The data shows that Nayland College with a roll of 930, raised $110,044 locally in donations – 1 percent of the total amount spent. Nelson College for Girls, with a roll of 1078, raised $104,014 locally from donations - 0.9 percent of the total amount spent. Waimea College, with a roll of 1573, raised $172,486 locally from donations - 1.2 percent of the
total amount spent. Daniel Wilson says they will be worse off if they agree to drop parent donations in exchange for the $150 payment. “I have major concerns over the additional payment. We have calculated we would lose about $100k in funding by opting into the new model. In order to gain this funding, we will have to remove curriculum opportunities such as outdoor education, geography and history field trips as we currently ask parents for a contribution towards these activities,” he says. “Ultimately, the students will miss out.” – with NZ Herald

Skate dreams comes true at Tahuna Kate Russell Reporter
kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Nelson skateboarder Cam Bary can remember the day the old Tahunanui Beach half-pipe was demolished. Although it was splintered and almost impossible to skate, its absence left local skaters yearning for a replacement for almost a decade. Now, local skaters’ prayers have been answered with a brand-new ramp at the beach, which will be ready for action this week. “I was about 11 or 12 when the old ramp got taken down,” says Cam, who owns Cheapskates Nelson. “That thing was scary. There were not many people in Nelson that could skate it.” The process of a replacement ramp started last year when fellow skateboarder Sam Huntington suggested to Cam that they form a skate committee. “A group of about eight of us older skaters started having meetings. We approached Nelson City Council and asked what the potential was for a new ramp and they said they were keen to get involved if we helped out with the design.” Local builder Shane Norton has been constructing the timber ramp. Its surface material is made from a paper-composite material which doesn’t splinter.
The skate ramp building crew, Cam Bary, Shane Norton, Mike Moreau, Tim Skinner, Marcus Roebuck, Tom Hull and Sam Huntington with young skaters at the new Tahunanui skate ramp. Photo: Charles Anderson. It’s a move away from the usual concrete skate structures, all while being naturally smooth and fast for less ramp rash/more speed and incredibly durable. It also maintains a safe temperature - even in the blazing sun, it’s environmentally friendly and sustainable, fire-resistant and
easy to clean - even from stubborn graffiti, pad scuffs and wax. “They have been working so hard. It looks amazing and when you stand on top of the ramp you can see out to Haulashore Island,” says Cam. “I am beyond excited to have some more facilities in Nelson. It’s
a massive bonus for the region.” Chair of council’s sport and recreation committee, Tim Skinner, says the ramp is a great addition to all the activities already on offer at Tahunanui. “We really appreciate the efforts of the skaters who have volunteered many hours on this project. By
working so closely with them, we know we’ve invested in a facility that really hits the mark for skaters.” The total cost of the project is $57,000, and the ramp is expected to be open from the end of this week with an official opening planned for a month’s time.

Rates to NEWS rise under annual plan Kate Russell Council has adopted its 2019/20 annual plan, despite almost a third of the city’s councillors voting against it. The plan was adopted on Thursday by nine votes to four, with Mel Courtney, Bill Dahlberg, Tim Skinner and Ian Barker not putting their hand up in approval. The annual plan has an overall increase in rates of 4.2 per cent, after allowing for growth, which is consistent with the draft annual plan and remains within the rates cap. But this was a bone of contention with some councillors. Mel Courtney, who has announced he will be running for mayor in the October election, said the increase in rates was “unsustainable”. “We cannot have [rates] running wild like this and increasing at the pace they are, because people are struggling out there - people on restricted incomes. “People on limited incomes are truly worried about their ability to remain in their own homes because of this relentless increasing of rates.” Ian Barker said the cumulative effect of rate rises was “horrendous,” and Tim Skinner agreed. “We just keep asking for [residents] to give us more, because of our cost increase - but their ability to increase their payments - it’s not sustainable.” Mayor Rachel Reese said although they would always like to do more, they have to be mindful of keeping within the rates and debt cap that they set during the long-term plan. “If I had tools available to me in the magic mayoral toolbox to bring [rates] down any lower than they are at the moment, but still deliver the commitment of our long-term plan, then of course we’d do that. But this is a very tough financial model that we’re working with,” she said. Looking into the annual plan, overall there is a proposed capital works programme for 2019/20 of $46.7 million. Net debt is forecast to be $91.7 million, which is $29.8 million less than projected in the long-term plan 2018-28. Council received a “significant” number of public submissions on the plan, resulting in several additions. These included an additional $35,000 funding for the Nelson Centre for Musical Arts, establishing a council facilities event hire fund of $30,000, working with potential partners to apply for inclusion in MBIE’s Welcoming Communities programme. Council also confirmed the current level of funding for key external projects, including funding of $174,000 per annum for Natureland and $150,000 per annum for the Brook Waimarama Sanctuary Trust. Some savings were also highlighted including the reduction of residential water meter renewal replacements from $1,124,000 in the long-term plan to $700,000 in the annual plan. “In this annual plan, council has remained committed to its four priorities of infrastructure, environment, city centre development and lifting council performance, with an additional focus on considering climate change and the impact that will have on our future planning,” Rachel said.

Nelson businessman Pete Rainey is also to stand for another term on council. Rainey, who co-owns a nationwide events business, served three terms on council from 2007. In 2016 he unsuccessfully stood for the mayoralty and not council, but says his commitment to his hometown has not wavered. “For a few years now, Nelson’s had the handbrake on in a way that’s been no good for anyone,” he says. “I’m keen to be part of a council that gets this town cracking - starting by livening up the waterfront with the development of the buildings council already owns, as well as immediate progress on the stalled cyclepedestrian project.”
Pete co-owns Rockquest Promotions, which produces over 60 youth music and performance events around the country every year. He says youth will continue to be a focus for him, alongside the arts. “Young people want to perform and to go to shows - we need to foster this interest with better facilities. We must also support the older demographic who are also keen to attend shows,” he says.

Girls’ College looks to future of education Kate Russell Reporter
kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Nelson College for Girls’ is reconsidering how its curriculum is delivered to better prepare students for the future. This comes off the back of the Government’s plans to shake-up
the education system through its ‘creative education’ programme. “At the moment, secondary curricular are very subject based and Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was talking about the need to break those silos down - so that’s really what we’re trying to do,” says principal Cathy Ewing. “It doesn’t mean we won’t have

From his arrival in Wakefield in 1928, Dr James Closs was a noted jack‑of‑all‑trades. With no den‑ tist, vet or pharmacist in the vil‑ lage at the time, he would pull teeth, treat animals and fill pre‑
scriptions on top of his usual practice. Paid in meat, poultry or vegetables if money was tight, Dr Closs worked seven days a week, delivered many home births, and was even on occasion asked to name the new‑borns.
English, maths, social studies or science - but that we need to know how to link those skills together.” She says, for example, environmental sustainability could be looked at in social sciences and then in English by finding literature that supports the subject. “We learn it through these different subject areas.” Although staff already do some of this informally, Cathy says she wants it to become standard practice, starting with the junior school, then reviewing course material ahead of the changes
to NCEA starting in 2023. Cathy was recently part of a group of Top of the South secondary school leaders who visited a selection of Christchurch schools to see the creative education programme in action. The aim of the programme is to prepare students with the skills for a changing world, where career paths are vastly different from today. In May, the Prime Minister told Nelson’s business community that we need to start thinking about our education system not in subject terms, but skills
terms. Cathy says she agrees with this approach in principle, although some aspects of the proposal need further consideration. “We must provide an education that gives our students skills for the real world - and that world is very different from what it was even a decade ago. However, this approach may not work for all topics and subject areas and it’s important that key knowledge and skills do not get lost in the process.” Cathy says they will be looking at this in consultation with their school community.

Billionaire gifts local bike track Jonty Dine Reporter
jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Land containing a world-renowned mountainbiking track has been gifted to New Zealand. The 860ha of land in the Wairoa Gorge was handed over to the Department of Conservation on behalf of American billionaire Ken Dart on Friday morning. Within the land lies what is hailed as one of the greatest handmade mountainbike trails in the world. DOC operations director Roy Grose says it’s amazing to have such an asset on our doorstep. Roy says the land also has ecological significance with more than 560ha of the land covered in native trees. He says the arrangements for management of the land means people will continue to enjoy the beautiful environment for many years to come. The land was purchased by Ken Dart through RH Holdings LTD and $19

Ray Griffin of RHL says the land provided a unique opportunity to combine conservation and recreation. “We used that to create something special.” The track has been operated by the Nelson Mountain Biking Club since 2016. Paul Jennings of the NMBC says he was delighted to help enable such access for mountainbikers.

Opportunity for ‘life changing’ experience Sara Hollyman
A Nelson teenager will be gifted a “life-changing” experience in August thanks to NBS. NBS are sponsors of Victory Boxing and this year decided to offer something extra on top of their monetary sponsorship. NBS commercial manager Howie Timms says for the past few years they have purchased Outward Bound courses which staff members have taken part in. This year, Howie says, they chose to offer the place on the course to a community-based group who are “really making a difference”. “For me, Victory Boxing is at the top of that list.” The 21-day course is a $4500 investment and places a strong focus on confidence and leadership. Victory Boxing’s Paul Hampton says members will be encouraged to fill out applications which will then be shortlisted to three or four teenagers. They will then be interviewed and the deserving candidate selected. “This is something that’s going to be really lifechanging, it builds that confidence and for us it perfectly complements what we do,” says Paul. “We’re about helping people grow and get stronger, and get that confidence to battle life’s issues and keep yourself moving forward.” Howie says, having been on the course himself, he understands the opportunity it will provide for the lucky recipient. “I got a lot out of it at 42, but to do it at a younger age would’ve been fantastic in terms of personal development and making you think about life’s goals and what your values are. “Things that, when you’re 18 or 19, a lot of time no one ever sits you down and makes you think about those things and that’s a big part of the course. The course, which is based in Anakiwa, offers activities such as sea kayaking, ropes course, confidence course and sailing and aims to show people how to grow their confidence. “What you get out of the course you take into your life going forward,” says Howie.

Bank urged to move on climate Staff Reporter
A group of protesters set up shop last week outside Nelson’s Kiwibank to condemn its role in the climate crisis. 350 Nelson Tasman joined grassroots climate justice groups across the country in actions calling for Kiwibank to rule out investing in or lending to companies whose core business is the extraction and/or production of coal, oil and gas. The group created a waiting room outside the Nelson City Kiwibank branch with chairs, a coffee table, and magazines with headlines calling for Kiwibank to take climate action. “We’re setting up outside Kiwibank today because they’ve been taking too long to release an ethical investment and lending policy, which they’ve been saying is in the works since November 2018,” said spokesperson Monica Nelson. She said, while Kiwibank officials shuffle their papers, the burning of coal, oil, and gas continues to destabilise our climate. One protester was dressed up as a depression-era worker to show that he’s been waiting decades for action on climate change. Many protesters had clocks to symbolise that time is ticking and that they are tired of waiting. Waiting rooms have also been set up in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin this week.

Should Nelson City Council permanently close Upper Trafalgar St to traffic? Yes, please do this. As soon as possible. Actually, I'd make Trafalgar St between Hardy St and Bridge St an openair mall as well. Most Trafalgar St shops there have masses of parking at their back entrances via the Montgomery and Buxton car parks. Dennis Goodman
Can we have consultation on the climate emergency and Nelson Library first please? Graeme O'Brien
Not convinced it should be closed off. If it is, I think the outdoor areas could be a lot smarter and more festive looking. Working well over summer but Nelson is becoming a resort town and dies in winter, this will not be ideal for the businesses. Carrie Fletcher
Yes, but leave the kerb and channels in, these will help maintain a dry footpath when there's heavy rain. Cut the parking meters off at ground level or at the base of the bricks. There's no need to spend $200k-$250k. It's ridiculous. Ben Hippy Henry It would be nice - maybe a water feature/garden or something nice through the middle, ‘cos it’s a bit dull and eerie in winter with nothing going on. Paula Robertson Ask the shop owners/tenants. They are the most affected by any changes made. Chrissie Small We had a business in Hardy St and noticed a decrease in traffic over the summer months when Trafalgar was closed because Rutherford is no right turn and they would normally come down Trafalgar and turn left onto Hardy. Was made even worse on Wednesday with farmers market and Saturday with Montgomery market. Talk

editorial@nelsonweekly.co.nz facebook.com/nelsonweekly www.nelsonweekly.co.nz to the businesses on Hardy St – it is not as positive for all!! Louise Ogle Great idea, but if it's genuinely going to cost that much, leaving more pressing issues in Nelson on hold for a year, then No. Leave it as it is and adjust the hours when necessary. Sally Cox That cost is ridiculous. What are they going to do - gold plate it???? But yes, it would be lovely year-round. They could also do the middle of Trafalgar St as a pedestrian mall and have a ring road up Bridge and down Hardy. Also, they need to put a carpark building in. Dreams are free.... Wendy and Mike Pahl Who is benefiting from this cost? Seems to be only a few hospitality businesses it would appear. It’s a little unfair for the rest of Nelson traders, only to focus on one area of the CBD and expect ratepayers and other businesses outside of that area to contribute to the prosper-
ity of business located there, while others around struggle. Conspiracy will lean to favouritism unless those businesses contribute 90 per cent of the cost to cover and subsidise the loss of parking revenue to the council. Carl Goldsmith Snr Absolutely. It’s a vibrant area when the road is closed. $250k is not a lot to spend considering the rate take. Can’t come soon enough. Christine Gabites In summer, for sure. Winter, not sure it makes sense. Plus, the cost quoted is beyond crazy. Surely there are better things to spend it on. Kate Hislop Public needs to do its bit on violence: Buxton Square needs cameras and good lighting, and gates on all entrances that are not for cars. Dez Tinee Max makes his mark: What a star. Man, Nelson can produce some tal-
Nelson Matters Petrol taxes are up another 4 cents per litre this week. This is Labour’s third tax hike in 18 months and another is promised next July. Taxes and levies now make up over half the cost of fuel. This tax hike does not just hit families when they fuel up the family car. Road user charges have also been hiked again by an equivalent amount. This flows through to household costs for everything from vegetables, bread and milk to the cost of the plumber. Labour has added insult to injury with these fuel tax hikes by slashing the funding for roading. I could not believe transport minister Phil Twyford telling
the Transport Select Committee last week that “New Zealand has invested too much in roading infrastructure over the past 30 years”. National proudly funded and built highway bypasses in Richmond, Stoke and Ruby Bay as well as major projects upgrading the Spooners and Hope Saddles over this period. I am aghast that Labour now thinks these projects were mistakes. I hold the opposite view that we should have invested more given the growth in population, tourists and export freight. The budget for state highway upgrades is being reduced by 70% under the Coalition Government from $1400 million to
$400 million per year. We are seeing the effects of this locally with the $5 million resurfacing programme on Whakatu and Atawhai Drives to reduce noise being cancelled. We’ve also seen programmed upgrades on the Whangamoa Hill and through Motueka township deferred. The Nelson and Tasman councils are understandably upset as locals are now being asked to pay over $100 million a year in fuel taxes and road user charges but getting a fraction back for our region’s transport needs. Labour’s anti road rhetoric is compounded by motorists being called “Car Fascists” by Green Party Associate Transport Min-

ister Julie Anne Genter. Cars will remain for the foreseeable future the dominant means of transport albeit many more, like mine, will be electric. The problem of getting people and goods in and out of Nelson continues to deteriorate. Labour was quick to overturn National’s commitment of $135 million dollars to get the Southern Link built but has done nothing to address the problem. Traffic monitoring and safety data shows congestion is getting worse and accidents more frequent. We are yet to see any progress on the promise to investigate alternatives cited by Labour like a tunnel through the Port Hills, mov-

ing Port Nelson to Rabbit Island or adding new lanes onto existing roads. They know these are pipe dreams and unrealistic. The escalating road toll makes investment in our roads even more important. Drivers take unnecessary risks when frustrated on congested roads and intersections. The safety data on new stretches of highway like the Ruby Bay bypass and other major highway upgrades built by National clearly demonstrate that they save lives. Angry Nelsonians have described these latest fuel taxes to me as “Highway Robbery”. It is an apt description. We are paying more for less. Advert.

New playground goes back to nature with design Locally Owned and Operated

A new community playground may look a little different to what you might be used to. While other playgrounds are full of bright colours, made with plastic, the newly completed playground on Mako St is completely natural. The Nelson City Council project was undertaken by Nelmac, and Wholesale Landscapes and sits between Nelson and Richmond. Tom Filmer, of Wholesale Landscapes says that “the idea was to have more of a focus on a more natural play space”. “There was a move towards more artificial play spaces a number of years ago, building with plastics.” Now, Tom says there is a move back to more natural resources. “We’ve used logs, wooden equipment, trees. It a more resourceful way of creating a playground.” Landscape supervisor for Nelmac, Tony Nichol says the project is a nice change. “It’s really good to get away from plastic and metal, It’s and to be using natural wood.”
The new playground is much more sustainable project and Tony says that some of the logs used on the playground were left over from other Nelmac jobs, like tree clearing. “It’s something that would have gone to waste otherwise.” It’s also more cost effective and easier to maintain than a standard
playground created with plastic and metal. “Plastic is a large capital expense and has to be replaced after be 10 years,” Tom says. And he says that it’s even better for the kids. “It gives them a chance to get a bit rough and get a bit more dirty.”

Students solving the world’s problems
Jonty Dine
A couple of classic cartoons served as the inspiration for the Nelson College problemsolving team. The team of eight recently returned from the Future Problem-Solving International Conference in America, bringing home two gold medals. The 2019 conference in Massachusetts saw 2500 students from 13 countries attempt to solve the world’s future problems. The boys were presented with a scenario in 2039 where global temperatures were now 2.7 degrees above pre-industrial levels and continuing to rise. With animals dying off, experts around the world were looking to “de-extinction” to save the ecosystem. Teams were tasked with finding solutions to the inevitable problems that would arise from resurrecting animals that have not lived for 50 million years. Sam Brookes was a member of the junior side that took out the Presentation Action of Plan with its Bob the Builderinspired performance.

Sam says their team’s solution was to use conditioning so the animals “act how we want them to”. “These animals haven’t been alive for a long time and by introducing them into a new climate, they would need to be conditioned.” The team based their presentation off the framework of the children’s cartoon with Sam playing the part of Bob as he ‘fixed’ the problem of de-extinction. Sam’s junior team went on to win the division while the seniors were pipped in the finals. They didn’t walk away emptyhanded however, placing first
in the scavenger hunt and finished as the second top nonUS team. Ronan says the experience was incredibly rewarding. “It was really interesting to see some of the countries other takes on problems.” He says he loves the challenges problem solving presents. “The ways to look at things, there’s nothing really like it.” Sam says the skills can be applied to a number of real-life situations. “You often find yourself thinking about solutions to problems.”

Prior to starting the business, Rochelle and Brendon moved around New Zealand ‘chasing jobs’ until realising they needed to settle in Nelson. Rochelle was working fulltime and encouraged her husband to find something that ‘made his heart sing.’ “Brendon has come from a biking background; he’s been racing since he was 9; his father owned bike shops so, when he was growing up, that was his world. We decided it was time to open our own store. Brendon is so passionate about it. He saw an opportunity. That’s how we got started. The rest is history.”

Yohann, who is from the UK, says, “It’s been useful to experience how bike shops operate in other countries, including New Zealand.

It’s an awesome business and getting to work on bikes all day long is great.” Lindsay, who has been with The Bike Station for just under two years, says he had been looking to get back into the bike industry as a mechanic after a stint in Whistler, Canada. “This is a nice place to work; a good bunch of guys. They have the same kind of passion that I have for mountainbiking, so it’s a no-brainer really.” Finally, Sam began working for the business in December after moving from Auckland. “I started as a customer and ended up working here; I love the team; we all get on well.

Spot the Difference - 9 to find Q. I am white when I am dirty, and black when I am clean. What am I? A. A blackboard
1. Build a cardboard play house (or rocket ship or play dome) - Pick up a large refrigerator box from a local builder, furniture store, or other wholesale distribution warehouse (often they are happy to give away big boxes). Tape one end shut and reinforce the sides with duct tape, then help your child cut a door and windows. Encourage your child to add control panels using things you have around your house, such as string, bottle caps, toilet paper rolls, or other recyclables. 2. Sumo wrestle - When the kids need to burn off some steam indoors, clear out a space in the living room and line the corners with pillows. Let your children borrow an old t-shirt of yours, stuff it with pillows in the front and back, and let them wrestle each other. Go ahead, try to hold back your own laughter while you referee the match. Indoor scavenger hunt - Hide clues around the 3. house for a hunt that will keep them busy solving riddles and working as a team. Leave a “treasure chest” at the end with a few treats for an extra special surprise. 4. Make a reading nook - You can always turn to books! Check out a giant bag of books from your local library and when you return home, build a reading nook in the most comfortable spot in the house with pillows, blankets, and favorite stuffed animals. Then join your child for a reading marathon. 5. Camp in the Great Indoors - While camping may not be your first thought when you think of things to do inside, who says tents have to stay outside? If you have a pop-up or small dome tent, it’s easy to set up camp for your kids indoors. If not, you can create tents by draping sheets over the couch. Make them comfy with airbeds, pillows, and sleeping bags, then follow through with an indoor picnic to be eaten “under canvas.”
Q. What 4-letter word can be written forward, backward or upside down, and can still be read from left to right? A. noon
Q. The more you take, the more you leave behind. What am I? A. Footsteps

Nelson’s own hip hop stars will soon be dancing their way to The Netherlands after qualifying for the world championships. Iconic, made up of Andrews sisters Shylah, 11, and Zariyah, 12, won the duo section of the national Unite Hip Hop Championships last month and were then selected to strut their stuff on the world stage. Coach Gemma Laing says it was great news for the girls, who had trained so hard. “Having two people on stage, it is so important to have things as close to perfect as possible. There is no hiding.” Iconic made the Unite World Champs last year and came 11th. This year they are aiming for top six. But they will have their work cut out for them as some countries are renowned for sending some amazing teams, Gemma says. Just to try and give them an edge they have also brought on an Auckland-based choreographer. “It’s about them improving and expanding their skills.” The group will be fundraising for the next few months and looking for opportunities to perform as much as possible. Gemma says the pair don’t get to perform as much as they would like to so any chance to get on stage is much appreciated.

Meet Suburbs’ scoring machine
Jonty Dine
Cameron Gordon finding the back of the net has become a customary sight at Saxton this season. The Englishman has scored a staggering 29 goals for Suburbs, accounting for almost half of his side’s total. Despite his scintillating scoring form, Cameron is quick to
deflect credit. “The team are all doing their part and getting me in the right positions.” He says the side is playing some impressive football as they look to go deep in both the Southern League and the Chatham Cup. “We have got a squad here that can do it, that’s the goal at the end of the day, to win some silverware.”
He says he is happy to be contributing on the scoresheets. “It’s a good feeling to help the team and I hope it continues.” The striker reluctantly admits he is in the richest vein of form in his life. “It’s just confidence, things are just clicking.” He was again in on the action on Sunday as Suburbs kicked off its Southern Football League
campaign in style with a 4-0 win over Western AFC. Another Cameron double made for a one-sided score line but, as the striker says, the side should have converted plenty more chances into points. “It was a bit of a strange win. The first fifteen minutes we didn’t really get going. Four goals is a good effort but it could have been more.
We will have to be more ruthless.” He says they will take plenty of lessons from the victory. “We showed in patches that, when we move it, we are hard to deal with.” The focus now shifts to round four of the Chatham Cup against Christchurch United on Saturday. “It is a massive game down in Christchurch, if we win that then who knows,” Cameron says.

Giants humbled at the Hangar Locally Owned and Operated
Jonty Dine Reporter
jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz
A solitary three pointer summed up the evening for Mike Pero Nelson Giants at the Hangar on Thursday night. The Giants put in its worst home performance of the season as the side was thrashed 97-74 by the Canterbury Rams. With both their post-season fates sealed, Canterbury looked much hungrier as they get set for playoff basketball. Despite another solid start, the Giants were badly out of sorts. With the scores at 8-8, Tom Ingham nailed a three to take the lead in what would be Nelson’s last points from outside the paint. Both teams traded baskets before the mandatory time out, however, the break saw the Giants lose its radar. The second-placed Rams looked aggressive and efficient as they took a slim 21-18 lead at the end of the first quarter. The Rams crept further ahead in the second, stretching the lead to ten midway through, Michael Karena using his substantial frame to bully the Giants on

Mika Vukona showed his usual fierce commitment, twice finding himself buried beneath a pile of Rams bodies. But the veteran was left visibly frustrated as passes stopped going to hand for Nelson and they conceded several turnovers which the visitors punished, taking a 48-38 halftime lead. Dan Grida was leading the charge
with a tally of 12 but Cameron Gliddon was right on his tail. Jett opened the scoring after the break, but mistakes continued to plague the hosts. There was a slight momentum shift late in the third, with Rhys Vague sinking some beautiful baskets to bring his side back into the contest. But normality soon resumed with the Giants trailing by eight
heading into the final ten. Karena took his total past twenty, while Nelson finished with just one from twenty outside the arc. Ingham says that was a “telling tale”. “You’re going to struggle to win games if you shoot at five per cent from the three-point line.” Nelson’s final game at the Trafalgar Centre is this Saturday,
July 6, against the Southern Huskies. Ingham says he hopes to give the faithful a good show to close the season. “We still have a bit of a sour taste after losing to them last time, so we will be out to avenge that.” Scorers: Canterbury 97 (Karena 20, Giddon 16) Nelson 74 (Grida 21, Jett 19)

Shake up for Mako rep system Jonty Dine Reporter
jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz
The pathways to highperformance rugby in the region will now no longer be reserved exclusively for the top tier male talent. The Tasman Rugby Union has kicked the junior rep system for touch in favour of a more
inclusive programme for both males and females. This means that players of all abilities will be given the opportunity to participate in skill development sessions run by Mako players starting later this month. Rugby development officer Mark Cochrane says the move has been made to align with modern sporting principles.
“There’s been a big change in focus from rep rugby to skill development across country.” Mark says that research carried out by the Tasman Rugby Union found the benefits of developing all players, not just the ones deemed ‘rep-able.’ “We have no idea who the next Mako or All Black will be. Players develop at different rates, so we have to give an opportunity for
all players to develop.” He says the past system also excluded players who are new to the game. The sessions will focus on developing the core skills of the game dubbed the “Mako Five”. These include catch and pass, decision making, tackle, breakdown, and body position into contact. Mark says players will practice
these skills under pressure in a more meaningful, fun and engaging environment. The sessions for U11-14s will be split between Nelson and Blenheim with players from both the Mitre 10 and Farah Palmer Cup Mako teams. The first session is on July 28 at Trafalgar Park.

SportS Rugby: Marist has continued its strong season with another win in the sub-union competition. Having only dropped one game all season, the green machine rolled on at Trafalgar Park with a 34-12 win over Nelson. Marist ran in six tries to dispatch Nelson who’s disappointing 2019 campaign has carried through to the second round. The Tasman Trophy champs now sit four points clear of Waimea Old Boys on the table. Elsewhere, Waimea won a high scoring encounter in Brightwater. Waimea held on for a 46-31 victory. In the round’s final fixture, defending champions Stoke were too strong for Kahurangi, edging the men from Motueka 32-7. The results see Marist and Waimea top the sub-union table with Wanderers and Stoke rounding out the top four.

their skills in the 13-man code for the annual Tasman Rugby League Intermediate Trophy on Wednesday afternoon. Waimea would eventually claim the title, defeating Blenheim’s Bohally in a pulsating final. Both sides showed superb skills with offloads galore and some bruising defence however Waimea’s superior size would eventually prove too much for the boys from Blenheim. Joining the finalists for the tournament were Riwaka, Parkland, St Pauls, Broadgreen and Nelson Intermediates. Netball: The stage is set for a thrilling showdown next week in the Nelson Premier Netball competition. Both Jacks OPD and Prices Ahurei kept their unbeaten records alive last night as they prepare to square off in a top of the table clash tomorrow night. Jacks were made to work for their win against Stoke NBS, sneaking home 42-33 while Prices were more comfortable with a 55-26 win over Richmond45. The wins see both sides stay in top spot with 24 points apiece with Jacks ahead only on goal differential.

Lucy Dawson is on a mission to even the playing field for Nelson basketballers. The 10-year-old Hampden Street School student says, in the region, there is a disproportionate number of boys playing the game compared to girls. Lucy plays for her school side which currently only has one other female. “I want to get lots more girls playing, it’s just better for basketball.” Lucy currently plays for two sides, Hampden Street and Nelson Intermediate. She says getting a girls’ team together at Nelson Intermediate was a real challenge. “At the start of the year we only

and are looking to expand throughout the region. “We are hoping to run some at St Joseph’s and Central Schools.” Lucy is also raising funds to have an adjustable hoop installed at Hampden Street. “This means the younger kids and beginners who can’t get the ball up there can have a go and we will have close to a full-sized court for the community to use.” The cost of the hoop is roughly $3500 with a further $1000 estimated for installation, which Lucy hopes to raise through sponsorships, raffles, bake sales. She also hopes to host a 3x3 allgirls tournament at school. Lucy has seen firsthand how the sport has grown within her school. “Last year there was only one team and this year we have three.”

had three players, it took heaps of work.” Lucy believes the aggressiveness of boys’ basketball can be a deterrent for females. “A lot of girls that aren’t so confident or just want to give it a go, prefer to play with girls.” Her career began just two and a half years ago after spotting a sign up in the school office. “I tried it and quite liked it.” She didn’t take long to shine on the court either, having represented the Nelson U13s for the first-time last year. The point guard is now determined to help other girls follow a similar path. Lucy is helping introduce girls to basketball with Nelson Basketball Association general manager Frances Tilly and Giant’s star Dan Grida. The trio ran an introductory session for girls at the school
