Congratulations Izzy!
Marsden student Izzy Soane had a podium finish at the South Island Ski Championships at Mt Hutt last week, coming 3rd in the U19 Super G race on Friday. Unfortunately she had an impressive crash on the first run of the slalom race, so was out of contention, and the GS race was cancelled due to strong winds. Continuing her busy schedule Izzy races in the Alpine National Junior Championships at Coronet Peak this weekend, and the NZ Alpine Youth Champs at Cardrona at the end of the month and we wish her all the best.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
