TWICE WEEKLY

Story by Glenise Dreaver Graeme Barsanti has had long service on the council, being elected in 1989 when the council was formed in its current unitary structure. In his words, he has “a wealth of knowledge” about the area he serves.

In 1989 he was the policeman stationed at Havelock where he still lives, and he says: “The late Pat Hammond and the late Toot Morrison persuaded me that I was well known in the area, that people knew me and I was a good community man.”

He believes that is still true.

He says he has been fighting for the infrastructure of Marlborough for years, as well as for individual people who need help in understanding the working of council.

“That has been a big part of my role.”

Working as a team member is vital he says - and with staff who have the memory of why decisions were made. “To understand, to move forward is my aim.”

He is one of three Marlborough Sounds Ward councillors, where the three work as a team and “his” area covers communities in the Havelock, Pelorus sound, French Pass and D’Urville island areas. The other two cover Picton and Queen

Charlotte Sounds.

He says, however, that while you work for your area, you can’t win all the time.

“You just accept that and try again.”

He plans to do that on the admittedly expensive issue of roading in the Kenepuru and French Pass areas. “It’s absolutely vital, but some councillors are against it.”

Such battles don’t stop him believing that this council is very effective and he likes the way it works.

He takes particular issue with fellow councillor Jessica’s Bagge’s comment in the Sun last Friday that decisions can be made in back rooms after meetings .

“Just rubbish. You go in to relax after a council meeting and you might discuss issues, but it does not go beyond that point.”

It is fair enough, he says that new councillors ask questions. “But first of all you listen and learn.

Then ask.

“It takes two to three years to master the workings of legislation from example. You can’t do it in five minutes.”

Graeme’s worked with another contentious new councillor Jamie Arbuckle on resource consents and is admiring of the way he has changed and grown since the Sheard hearing and subsequent report.

“He thinks. And you’ve got to move on.”

As he looks ahead to the prospect of another term, he says his philosophy is summed up in the Maori

MDC Councillor Graeme Barsanti.

proverb he loves.

He aha te mea nui o te ao? He tangata! He tangata! He tangata!

What is the most important thing in the world? It is people! It is people!

Watson’s application declined Leads to flasher Justice Minister Judith Collins yesterday announced the Governor-General has declined Scott Watson’s application for the Royal prerogative of mercy.

“After thorough consideration of all the relevant material, I advised the GovernorGeneral that Mr Watson’s application be declined,” Ms Collins said.

Mr Watson was convicted of murdering Ben Smart and Olivia Hope who were last seen boarding a yacht in Endeavour Inlet in the early hours of January 1 1998.

Following unsuccessful appeals to the Court of Appeal and the Privy Council claiming his innocence, Mr Watson ap-

plied to the Governor-General for exercise of the Royal prerogative of mercy.

“In 2009 the Ministry of Justice engaged Kristy McDonald QC to provide advice on Mr Watson’s application,” Ms Collins says.

Ms McDonald considered not only Mr Watson’s original application, but also additional material that was provided by Mr Watson and his legal team between the submission of his original application and December 2012.

Ms McDonald concluded that nothing provided in support of his application created a real risk that he was wrongfully convicted.

If you suffer

Blenheim Police are sure the matter of the Blenheim flasher will be resolved in the near future.

“We are following a number of leads,” said Barbara Dunn, communications manager for the Tasman Police district.

The man, who has been exposing himself to young women in the Pollard Park area, is described as a Caucasian in his twenties, with a scruffy appearance. He is believed to have changed his hair colour recently.

Senior sergeant Peter Payne said while the man’s behaviour was alarming, police had no indication that he posed any physical threat to the public.

Anyone approached by a person acting in an inappropriate manner should contact police immediately on 111 he said.

They would also like to hear from any witnesses who have not yet fromreported Back the or incident.

Assault victim undergoes surgery

The Sun

Ute, car collide

Police continue to seek suspects Story by Celeste Lodewyk Police have made one arrest in relation to the assault on an 18-year-old on the Taylor River Bank on June 28, but are still appealing to the group of young people who witnessed the incident to come forward.

Sarah Hughes, the mother of the victim went public last week in an effort to find those who were responsible for the attack which left her son with serious facial injuries requiring surgery.

Speaking to the Sun yesterday after arriving home from Hutt Hospital, Sarah said her son was treated for fractures and nerve damage after being punched and kicked about the head while on the ground.

“We discovered that his cheek bone was severely broken which required surgery, and the nerve damage to his face we have been told should not be permanent,” she said.

A Gillies technique was carried out which involved surgeons making an incision behind the hairline above the ear to push a steel rod across to the cheek bone to push the bones back into place.

Fortunately surgeons did not have to place a plate or screws and his eye socket has been left to heal naturally, Sarah said. But there will be a recovery period requiring her son to eat soft food and stay elevated for three weeks.

Sarah and her son were contacted by Victim Support who they gave impact statements to, and

Sarah has passed on information to the Police uncovered from her inquiries.

“Through my social media appeals and people who have contacted me I have passed on the names of five people from the group as well as contacts for two of them.

“I just want these people to come forward and own up to what they have done. I know who they are and their details are with the Police but it’s just a matter of waiting now,” she said.

A Police spokesperson told the Sun yesterday that further inquiries are being carried out and Police still want to speak to the several members of the group who witnessed the incident as soon as possible.

Arm the Reckless takes top honours Continued from page 1 “I has been a personal goal of mine to win the Smokefreerockquest for three years so when we formed our band we worked really hard at polishing our performance and stage presence, and it’s paid off,” Mitch told the Sun. Arm the Reckless has recently released its five track EP and has to date written eight songs.

The next stage for the band is to record a 15 minute video which will be sent to Smokefreerockquest for finalist judging.

Solo/duo section winner Lee Stuart (17) from Marlborough Girls’ College was thrilled with her win and has been playing piano since she was 10. It was her fourth time at Smokefreerockquest.

“I’d always tried to go for a more pop sound but this time I decided to stick to my roots in jazz and I put as much soul into it as I could.”

Second place in the band category went to 8Bit Dreams from Queen Charlotte College, made up of Tarn Greenlaw (drums), Aidan

On Monday July 8, at 12.45 pm, there was an accident on State Highway I at Redwood Pass when a ute and a car collided. Two ambulances attended and four patients were treated. Three ocupants, including a 10-month-old baby admitted to Wairau for observation, were taken to hospital. The other two were a 26-year-old woman and a 63-yearold man, the woman with minor chest injuries and the man with neck and shoulder injuries, also minor.

Million visitors The Wither Hills Farm Park tracks have recorded their millionth visitor since accurate c o u nt i ng b ega n i n 19 93.

Marlborough Mayor Alistair Sowman says the walking and cycling tracks are the town’s most popular recreational facilities.

Each week, at least three thousand people are walking the paths while another 400 mountain bikers use the mountain bike tracks.

Council amenities officer Robin Dunn says magnetic track counters were installed at several main access points in 1993, providing better information about user numbers.

Local cyclists ready for Glasgow Photos by James Blakiston Story by Celeste Lodewyk A Night of Kiwiana was held on Saturday night as a fundraiser for local boys Callum Saunders and Quinn Karwowski who are heading to Glasgow for the UCI Junior Track Cycling World Championships next month.

To date an incredible $30,000 Pete Halligan talks with Callum Saunders and Quinn Karwowski at Saturday has been raised by supporters and members of the community, said night's fundraiser, A Night of Kiwiana.

Callum’s father Sturrock Saunders.

Silent and live auctions were held which were well supported by the 250 who attended.

“The result and feedback from Saturday evening has been great and we thank everyone for their contribution, it was a great night.”

Callum and Quinn leave Blenheim today to join the nine-strong team competing in the new Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome from August 7 to 11.

“This championship is the pinnacle event for Callum and Quinn who are in really good form.

“They have raced at the Oceania Track Cycling Championship and the Youth Olympics in the last 12 months but haven’t got to where they want just yet, so Glasgow is a trip they are really looking forward to.

“They have high expectations which is great,” Sturrock said.

Local workshops for Stage Challenge

82 Market Street Blenheim 03 578 5880 www.matthews.co.nz

Blenheim and Picton will host two of the Three stage production workshops for secondary students to be held in August in the Top of The South.

The events aim to motivate young people to engage in positive and healthy

lifestyles. It carries with it key messages of attending school regularly, goal setting, staying fit and healthy, and having fun without tobacco, alcohol or other drugs, while providing an opportunity to be part of a professional performing arts event that will provide a lasting memory.

Thousands of books sold for charity Story and photo by Celeste Lodewyk Thousands of pre-loved books were sold at the weekend when the Cancer Society Marlborough held its Midwinter Book Sale fundraiser at the McKendry Motors Showroom.

Despite the wet weather, people of all ages, including young children visited the sale.

They walked away with armloads and even large boxes of books at bargain prices.

Organiser Margaret Tepania said she was overwhelmed with the generosity of donated books from the community and was thrilled with the amount of money raised.

"We are still counting but the total will be around $6000 which is fantastic and we are so happy with the success of the book sale," she said.

Money raised will go toward the services of the Cancer Society for the people of Marlborough.

This is the second year that this sale has been run, and all left over books will be donated to the Blenheim Lions Club who will hold their own book sale later in the year.

The next fundraising event for the Cancer Fox Bilsborough (2) peeps out from behind purchases at the Cancer Society's fundraising book sale at the Society is Daffodil Day on August 30. weekend.

Free parking trial

By Nikki Papatsoumas Free car parking will be introduced at the Wynen Street car (below) park on Thursdays.

The parking is being trialed in a bid to encourage more people to shop in the central business district.

Marlborough District Councillor Terry Sloan and a group of business owners are behind the idea, which is modelled off an initiative that took place in Nelson.

Mr Sloan says he hopes the free car parking will

work as an incentive to get more people into the CBD. “We have got to try something. It’s a pretty tough time and whatever we can try and do to help businesses in the CBD is a good thing.”

He says Thursday was chosen, because it is the day that the council takes in the least revenue from car parking.

The free car parking will be trialed until the end of August, and will begin this week.

The end of the beginning Photo and story

by Glenise Dreaver On Saturday, Picton celebrated the successful end of stage one of the new Port Marlborough Pavilion.

There was also a very real sense that the celebrations were just the end of the beginning.

The opening at noon drew well over 100 guests, who braved gales and heavy rain to make their way to the building.

Fortunately, just before Archdeacon Harvey Ruru blessed the pavilion and those who would use it now and in the future, the wind and rain stopped.

Rita Powick presented the karanga, the welcome call, and Archdeacon Ruru then led those present on a circuit of the spacious, light-filled new hall.

It was the end of a two-year odyssey for the organising committee, led by Graham Gosling.

Those two years of hard work on the

community multi-purpose facility were acknowledged by all the speakers, including Kaikoura MP Colin King and Marlborough Mayor Alistair Sowman.

But even as they celebrated, the committee members were already looking forward to raising their next million for Stage 2.

That will include a gym, squash courts and a conference room that can be divided into two for break out rooms.

Graham Gosling recognised the future generations who will use the complex when he invited youngsters to take part in the ribbon cutting ceremony.

Bunty Bunt, above, in his nineties and a former Spitfire and Hurricane pilot with a lifetime record of community service and leadership, cut the ribbon.

He was supported by seven proud youngsters, representatives of their schools and sporting codes who will be the next generation to benefit.

MARLBOROUGH STADIUM TRUST

Associate Health Minister Todd McClay says he is counting down the days until a new law provides New Zealanders with greater protection from so-called "legal highs".

The Psychoactive Substances Bill is expected to pass its third and final reading on Thursday this week.

It means the drugs must be immediately removed from dairies and non-specialist shops.

There will also be strict prohibitions on the sale to, possession and consumption by under 18-year-olds.

"The sooner this dangerous muck is out of our dairies and corner stores the better,” said Mr McClay.

He said that communities had increasingly been successful in having products removed from local shelves.

“The Psychoactive Substances Bill will back local communities by giving new powers to councils to further restrict the sale and availability of 'legal highs'.”

Roy Ramsey of Blenheim's Drug Arm: “It's good its been done but it should have been done ages ago.”

Sun readers have their say... with the WORD on the Street.

Q: The anticipated birth of the royal baby is due any day, so we asked the

public what their guess would be on the gender, name and birth date.

Bev Ridder Blenheim I am guessing it will be a girl and the birth date will be July 7. For names I am sure they will use Diana as some part of the name.

Connor Hamill Blenheim

Vivien McIntosh Blenheim

Rochelle Herkt Blenheim

Mel Gifford Blenheim

I will guess July 27 for the birth and I think it will be a boy. For names I think they will be really old fashioned like their own names and might use a name like Charles.

I’d say July 14. A girl.

Probably called Victoria.

I think it’ll be a girl, born on July 23. Diana after William’s mum. And perhaps Elizabeth too that’s more traditional.

August 1, and it’ll be a girl.

They’ll go wtih something traditional, but Diana will be in the mix. Anything fashionable would be too out there for a queen.

Josh Pope Blenheim I think it will be a boy and born on July 20. I imagine the name will be something normal and ‘royal’ like David or Michael. I don’t think they will have anything unique.

Letters to the editor

Dear Ed, We don't need to look too far today to see political correctness is rife. Values have been turned inside out. Topsy, turkey stuff.

I came across a UK commentator's thoughts on the matter.

"What's right is wrong, what's wrong is politically correct, what's politically correct is right."

Well said. Think about it all MPs. Don Coyote

Missing Dear Ed, Would the person or persons responsible for removing the strip of tar seal approximately four metres wide and 60 metres in length, between the Alfred Street roundabout and the Hutcheson Bridge, please return it immediately. This unnecessary stupidity has created a dangerous road safety issue for pedestrians, and increased the potential for a serious vehicle accident, as well as inflated our annual rates.

Compliance Dear Ed, In view of the current situation with the CCC and the goverment's international accreditation agency for building consents etc ( IAC), you might be interested to look at IAC's web site (Ministry of BIE) latest technical review report dated May 20 2013 concerning the MDC's level of compliance.

In particular the various examples given of non-compliance and in particular the lack of compliance

of the emergency egress lighting of a primary school in Marlborough (example 6 from memory, not named, but I know of it or one other).

I find it incredible that, as I understand it, compliance personnel have been seconded from MDC to CCC. The report, particularly the conclusions and recommendations makes interesting bed-time reading, unless you are contemplating building in Marlborough.

Ignorant cyclists Dear Ed, I was walking along Queen Charlotte Drive yesterday when two male cyclists passed me riding side by side.

I expressed my concern of how dangerous that was and they thought that was highly amusing.

On their way back the middle cyclist was on the centre line. Sadly it probably would not be them killed but the driver or child in the car swerving to avoid them. I found their attitude not only ignorant but arrogant, foolish and very very pompous. They are grown men acting like teenagers not thinking of the consequences. I hope they read this and start thinking of others and not just themselves.

Blenheim's Guthrie Bowron store has never looked better after opening in its purpose built building on Main Street.

The store opened on July 2 much to the delight of customers who, along with the staff, have eagerly anticipated seeing the more spacious, warm and bright new building located on the corner of Main and Opawa Streets.

Owners Katrina and Colin Legg were thrilled with the move and said customers have been really positive.

"We started thinking about moving from our previous Seymour Street location in August of last year, so it's been a long process but we are so happy to finally be in the new building.

"Our customers have been immensely supportive in the lead up to our move which we are truly appreciative of, and we hope that the Marlborough community will come and have a look for themselves," Katrina said.

The new building is not only warm and

inviting, but its open layout provides more display area.

A fresh new look on Main Street

Colour forecast for 2013 The 2013 colour forecast as predicted

by Dulux, one of Guthrie Bowron's leading brands has directed colour consultants toward "the dusty pastels of Impressionist paintings, quirky tones inspired by the Fifties and a touch of fluro bright".

According to the forecast there's a move towards colour layering at home, including different shades of pastels across the walls of one room or bold orange and pinks sitting side by side on furniture.

A trend to look out for this year is the move towards using small flashes of colour rather than painting the entire space. The forecast for 2013 draws on the themes of “movement”, “social change”, “people power”, and the march of the digital age. It explores how colour is shifting and changing in modern times Dulux’s other palettes for 2013 are: Empower: Mostly blue and blue-

green hues that show the power of colour on masse. This range is designed to inspire openness, truth, and communication.

Merge: Evoking nostalgia with a new twist, this range includes natural stone colours such as Camel Hide, Persimmon, or Terracotta Chip.

Blur: A daring and bold palette of pinks with purple contrasts through to near-red oranges. These warm and vibrant hues are designed to create excitement as they’re used together.

Seek: Recalling a range of eras whose popularity have worn and faded but are now back in trend, these colours represent objects that have been inherited, salvaged, or hand made.

Rise: Influenced by the Japanese design aesthetic, this palette explores neo-pastel hues conveying serenity and comfort. Though seemingly minimalist, the soft tones are punctuated by brighter gelato hues of green and blue.

When it comes to civil engineering and construction work Nick James Excavations makes quick work out of the biggest jobs.

Owned and operated by Nick James (Nick the Digger) the business was founded on his 40 years experience in the engineering and agriculture industries in the United Kingdom and New Zealand.

No job is too big or small and range from demolition and site clearance right through to earth-moving, irrigation work and on-site top soil and gravel screening.

New to the business are two pieces of important machinery being imported by Nick, a five foot long hydraulic hedge cutting attachment for the mini digger, and a rotary powered soil screening bucket for the larger digger.

“The hedge cutter includes an adjustable swivel bracket which allows the operator to cut hedges behind fences, and the screening bucket is so versatile and is ideal for demolition, top soil, waste, compost and recycling applications,” Nick says.

The new equipment is due to arrive this month so to find out more contact Nick James Excavations today.

Womens ® Refuge

Awareness Week 2013 July 15 - 22

Supporting the women who need us “Give her voice and help her be heard”.

This is the catch-cry of the Women’s Refuge July 2013 campaign.

July is the Women’s Refuge Awareness and Appeal month and it is the hope that the community can be educated about domestic violence while fundraising to supports the refuges operating costs.

Marlborough Women’s Refuge manager Rachel Black said they were only around 62 percent government funded, so in order to continue its operations grants and donations were crucial.

“The community has showed amazing support to us by donating household

goods and clothing which we really appreciate, and we are hoping that this year’s Appeal will be a success,” she said.

Demand on the Marlborough Women’s Refuge has increased, particularly in the past three months Rachel said.

“It has been really busy due to an increase in family violence. There are a lot of contributing factors including the economy.

“It’s not just abuse, there is a lot of financial hardship where families are finding it difficult putting food on the table and paying bills which add to the stress and tension.

17

“These are no excuse for violence but they certainly don’t help,” she said.

There are many ways to donate and help support the vital services provided by the Marlborough Women’s Refuge.

• Make a donation to street collectors around Marlborough on July 19 and 20 • Online – at www.refuge.org.nz • Facebook – www.facebook.com/ womensrefugenz • By phone - Call 0900 REFUGE to automatically donate $10 • By text - Text HOPE to 2447 to automatically donate $3 (only available during July)

Violence is never your fault – it’s the abuser’s There are many common myths about domestic violence – such as ‘Why doesn’t she just leave?’ – but female and child victims don’t ‘ask for it’, and no one deserves to be abused. The responsibility for both the abuse and the personal changes needed to stop the behaviour lies firmly with the abuser.

Domestic violence is about a systematic pattern of coercive control punctuated by physical, sexual, emotional or financial violence that leaves the victim intimidated, hurt and fearful for her life, and the lives of her family.

Domestic violence is not limited to any demographic.

It happens in rural and urban areas, within all age, religious and ethnic groups, and across all socio-economic groups. It can happen between people who are married, in de facto relationships or just dating. Domestic violence happens in same sex relationships, too.

The Domestic Violence Act 1995 legally protects anyone in a domestic relationship from violence: married couples; unmarried couples; gay and lesbian couples; children; family; anyone in a close relationship; and flatmates and others who may share accommodation from violence. There are other relevant laws also in place to protect your rights.

Uzbekistan, here I come

By Emily Elliott Spending six weeks in Europe and Asia to raise money for charity will be the adventure of a lifetime for a local biker.

Twenty-six year old Jim Millard left for the United Kingdom on Saturday, where he will begin his 16,000km charity ride through countries such as France, Germany, Russia, Slovakia, Poland, Uzbekistan and Kazikstan this weekend.

Jim has been preparing for the ride, named the Mongol Rally, for ten months.

He will be completing it on a postie bike with his friend from Germany, Markus Schell.

"It's the challenge of taking it.

It's a long course, and motorbikes have to be under 125cc.

"They give you a start point and a finish point and you chose where to go."

Jim and Markus are hoping to complete the ride in six weeks, but will be playing the majority of the trip by ear.

Jim Millard, ready for the Mongol Rally.

a helicopter engineer in Papua New Guinea.

Jim has taken his next month off to do the rally, giving him three months before he starts work again.

To keep up with Jim and Markus as they make the trip, follow their updates at www.theadventurists. com/wannabe-cockys.

Kindergarten shares art discoveries through exhibition The children at Renwick Kindergarten have been exploring different ways of creating art. Their recent excursion to the Taylor Pass honey factory, then the Millennium art gallery, lead to children creating their own art in Seymour square.

Drawing inspiration from the plants, they learnt how bees pollinate the flowers and plants, discovering the natural world they were able to make connections and represent their ideas within different art mediums.

Back at Kindergarten, the art blocks were painted and finished.

The Renwick Kindergarten decided to have its own exhibition so children could share their own art discoveries with parents/ Whanau and a gallery was set up within the kindergarten.

The children used large card board and spray bottles to create splat paintings, learning about colour mixing and pattern making.

This was a wonderful way to finish off the term and celebrate the children's exploration of bees and art.

Families/Whanau were invited to the opening of the exhibition which was held during the The Renwick Kindergarten hosted its own art exhibition to showcase its kindergarten's picnic last Friday. children’s art explorations. Story and photo supplied.

They will be staying in tents and hostels along the way, and have to carry all of their gear themselves.

"It's the smallest bike I've ridden the longest distance with," said Jim. "There are no support vehciles.

People have been seriously injured or died on Mongol rally."

The bike he is riding will only have a top speed of 70km/h.

Jim has been riding bikes since he was seven, and hasn't done much training leading up to the rally.

"I'm just going to jump on and go.

"It will probably be the biggest adventure I do," said Jim. One of the rules of the rally is that each team (of 2) has to raise a minimum of 1,000 pounds for charity organisation Cool Earth.

Cool Earth works within the Amazon rainforest to prevent it from being cut down.

"Everything's for charity," said Jim. He works month on, month off as

Soccer cancelled

Picton Football Club had to cancel the planned fixtures on the Endeavour Park soccer grounds on Saturday.

While the teams were all pumped and ready to go on their new turf, because of the waterlogged nature of the ground the matches had to be cancelled.

The Waitohi Rugby Club was able to play on the other side of the stadium for its only game this year, but the soccer players needed to protect their new home ground for the rest of the season.

Marlborough Women’s Triathlon This year’s popular Women’s Triathlon, to be held on Sunday December 1, will be run by Mark Grammer, an international multisport athlete and Lance Spencer, who are partners in Marlborough Sport Development.

They currently run the Cuddon Cycling junior programme and organised the Anakiwa Triathlon, the Michael Huntley Memorial Triathlon and the Marlborough Quadrathon earlier this year.

Story and photo’s

by Chris Tobin An upset looked possible for the Marlborough Boys’ College first XV against St Bede’s College in Christchurch last Saturday.

St Bede’s, leaders in the Press Cup, had not been beaten on their home ground in 61 matches going back to May 2007.

However, they were pushed all the way by a never-saydie Ma rlborough team which had tipped over seven times Press Cup winners, Christchurch Boys’ High School in Blenheim the week before.

Cheered on by a large contingent of Marlborough supporters who had travelled south for the match, MBC was level pegging with St Bede’s at halftime, 10-all.

St Bede’s nudged ahead with a successful penalty but soon after Levi Brunton scored a fine try for MBC which put the visitors in the

lead for the first time, 15-13.

The St Bede’s supporters went silent as a boilover looked possible but MBC’s propensity to give away penalties proved costly and St Bede’s kicker Jamayne Isaako was successful again with a penalty. However, a St Bede’s forward was yellowcarded not long after and it seemed MBC could take advantage of this situation.

Instead, St Bede’s scored; with the try converted and the score was out to 23-15.

However, MBC was not finished and Chad Ternent ran in a fine try which Abe Rood converted and it was now 23-22.

In the closing stages St Bede’s played for territory.

MBC, in trying to run out of their own 22, coughed up yet another penalty and the final score ended St Bede’s 26, MBC 22.

MBC plays Christ’s College in Christchurch on Saturday.

Draw on waterlogged Endeavour ground Story and photo by Glenise Dreaver Waitohi’s Premier Rugby team had a 25-all draw with their close rivals Central in their first game on their new ground at Endeavour Park on Saturday.

This match was a special, played in honour of the Port Marlborough Pavilion opening. The Picton team will play their final home game back at the Waitohi grounds next weekend and may move to Endeavour Park in 2014.

The sun came out for the occasion, though there had been heavy rain that left the ground waterlogged.

Club president Robin Beattie said despite the condition of the grounds, the day was “brilliant”.

“The whole day was just magic.”

They would be continuing work with the council to improve remaining issues with drainage, he said.

OutbOard mOtOr expertS

There had already been a lot of drainage work done by the Council, he said.

The last technique, sand splitting, had only been done on the main ground and that was “not too bad”.

There were, however, very waterlogged areas where that work had not been done, in the dead ball areas and at the edges of the ground he said.

“It may take a year or so to get right, and there is the issue of funding, but I am confident it will happen.”

Crafar Crouch Waitohi may meet Biddy Kate’s Central again this season, depending on how each team fares in the semi finals again for the Marlborough premier club rugby competition grand final. Like the semi-finals, it will be played at Lansdowne Park This means that the Endeavour Park ground will not be used again this season.

Crafar Crouch Waitohi played Biddy Kate’s Central on Saturday in a game that tested the gritty determination of both sides.
